DISJECTA MEMBRA.
It is a law of Nature that through
out her wide dominions, there shall
be nothing motionless, no such a
thing as absolute rest. In the or
ganic world, the seed or the germ, by
some mysterious process which no
finite being may perceive nor under
•stand, is quickened into life as by a
breath from an unseen world, and the
plant, the animal, the man, each in a
separate sphere begins the race of
life. Upward the plant rises, outward
it extends its branches ail laden, it
may be, with luscious fruits or glo
rious flowers; and year after year it
multiplies itself in repeated expan
sions, and there is nothing to be
found in bud or stem to breathe the
faintest whisper that the plant may
go on repeating and expanding
torevci’.- ft’ 11 fhe silent, unseen forces
within it atC "’orking to a climax, and
the time will coniv' when the sap
.from the ground \\!T1 respond less
generously to the general warmth of
spring and the leaves will assume a
paler green in the fierce glare of sum
mer. The life-current turns backward
and the wonderful organism, which
through months and years and, it
may be, centuries, has felt “the in
stinct of might” imparted by life and
growth., now hastens to death an
decay.
Neither the earth itself nor any
thing on it or in it, is still. This
great globe is ever whirling on its
axis and flying along its orbit with a
velocity which can only be expressed
by a row of figures that in their sig
nificance far transcend the limits of
finite comprehension, while on its
surface the tide of life rises and falls,
flows and ebbs, with the restless per
sistency, with the fateful regularity
of the oceanic waters that lash the
beach and beat the bases of the
rocky cliffs in their mad efforts to
follow the smiling moon on her se
rene and silent journey.
Nations grow up and spread them
selves like multitudinous hosts of
locusts; dynasties rise, and reign, and
fall; the Celt yields to the Teuton,
and the Teuton to the Norseman, and
everywhere the strong races trample
down the weak and grow stronger,
and by virtue of their strength lay
claim to the earth as an inheritance.
They cover the plains with cities and
whiten the seas with the sails of com
merce; they lay hold of the forces of
Nature and bid them multiply luxu-
THAT TON OF GUANO.
When The Ledger offered one ton
of guano last spring to the Cherokee
farmer who would raise the greatest
number of bushels of corn on one acre
of upland this year, the said ton of
guano to be paid the first of Novem
ber, so it could be used on wheat this
fall, our idea was to increase the in
terest of our county farmers in these
two most important crops, and to in
cline them to a more intensive sys
tem of farming, so by practical expe
rience they could realize the possi
bilities that lay in our soil, when its
preparation and the cultivation of the
crops planted in it are directed by
sound agricultural sense in an effort
to excell.
We are pleased at the number that
entered the contest, an 1 gratified that j
all the acres are giving promise of a ;
good yield. Also to learn that the i
thorough preparation and cultivation
of these acres have stimulated other 1
farmers along the lines of preparation
and cultivation and thus, not only the;
• acres” will give greater yields, but
the yields of many other fields will be
increased by their owners, in a meas- 1
ure, emulating the efforts of our con
testants.
When the decision is made the
name of the winner and the number,
of bushels he made on his acre will
bo published in The Ledger, as well
as the names of all the contestants
and the yields of their respective
acres, and the ton of guano for :
wheat offered by The Ledger will be
promptly given to the winner.
As our offer of this prize was in
tended to stimulate intensive farm
ing in Cherokee, we trust the winner
■vilt confine the use of the guano to
•> much smaller acre than a ton is*
generally used on in this county, so
that our idea may be extended t<* the
crops'fertilized by the guano also.

PYRAMIDS OF PAIN
Boils show the blood is in a riotous, feverish
condition, or that it has grown too weak and slug
gish to throw off the bodily impurities, which
then concentrate at some spot, and a carbuncle
or boil is the result. To one already enfeebled
by disease, boils seem to come with more frequency,
causing the intensest pain and greatest danger to the already weak and
debilitated sufferer. All skin eruptions, from the sometimes fatal car*
tmncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are caused by bad blood, and the
only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and

A Health.
[Edward Coate Pinkney.]
I fill this cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form so fair, that, like the air.
’Tis less of earth than heaven.
Her every tone is music’s own,
Like those of morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever in her words;
The coinage of her heart are they,
And from her lips each flows,
! As one may see the burden'd bee
j Forth issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her.
The measures of her hours,
! Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness of young flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft.
So till h<*r, she appears
The image of themselves by turns—
The Idol of past years!
Of her bright face one glance will
trace
A picture on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts
A sound must long remain;
But memory, such as mine of her,
i So very much endears,
When death 0 nigh my latest sigh
Will not be life’s but hers.
