TON HERALD. “IF FOR THE LIBERTY OF JpORLH WE CAN DO ANYTHING.” m*- VOL. II. DARLINGTON, SOUTH CAllO^INA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1892. NO. 33 BILL ARP’S LETTER. The Sage Snaking the Pipe nf Peace I love to moot a nabor, and hear him say, “how's crops?” I continue to like farmin’. I like it better and better, except that the wheat is some what doubtful about making a crap- A little long bug with a tail at l«)th ends has got in the joints and sucked the sap out, and it’s failin’ down in patches. I/xtks like there’s always somethin’ playin’ on somethin’, and nothin’ is safe, from disaster in this sublunary world. Flies and bugs and rust play on the green wheat. Weavils eat it up when it’s cut and put away. Rats eat the corn, moles eat the gooliers, hawks eat the chick- nse; the minks killed three of our ducks in one night, cholera kill the hogs, and the other night one of mv nabor’s mules come along with the blind staggers and fell up a pair of seren steps right into my front gate and died without kickin’. Then there is briars and nettles and thread safts and smart weed and poison oak and Spanish needles and cuckleburs and dogfenncl and snakes, that’s always hi the way on a farm and most be looked after keerfully, especially snakes, which arc my eternal horror, and I shall always lielirc are some kin to the devil himself. I can’t tolerate such long insects, .but we famers have to take the bad with the good, and there is more good than bad with me up to the present time. I like farmin’. It’s an honest, <|iiiet life, and it docs me so much good to work and get all over in a sweat of perspiration. I enjoy my humble food and my repose, and get up every morning renewed and rejuvenated like an angel in its flight, or words to that effect. I know I shall like it more, for we have already passed over the Rubicon and are lieginning to reap the rewards of industry. Spring chickens have got ri|>e and the -hens keep bloomin’ on. Over two hundrecPnow respond to my old omnn’s call every morning, as she totes armin' the bread tray, a singin’ tcheeky, tebeeky, teheey.” I tell you she watches those birds elose, for she knows the value of ’em. She was raised a Methodist, she was, and many a time has watched through the craek of the door, sadly, and seen the preachers helped to the last giz zard in the dish. There was fifty-four chickens, seven ducks, five goslins, twelve turkevs and seven pigs hatched out last week. This looks like business, don’t it? This is what I call successful farmin’—nml- tiplyin’ and replenishin’ according to scripture. Then we have a plenty of pease and ]»otatoes and other gar- dan verbs which help the j>oor man out, and by the 4th of July will have wheat bread and biscuit and black berry pies and pass a regular decla ration of independence. I like farmin'. I like latitude and longitude. When we were pen ned up in town my children eould't have a slingshot, nor a l>ow and arrod nor a chichen fight, in the hack yard nor sick a dog on another dog, nor let off a big Injunwhoop without some nabor makin’ a fuss about it. And then again there was a show or a dance or a bazar or a missionary meet ing most every night, and it looked like the children were jest a’ldeedged to go or the world would come to an end. It was money, money, money all the time. But now there isn't a store or a milliner's shop within five miles of ns. and wc do our own work, the same kind of a lick every day. These people do not belong to them- ^ selves, they are all penned up like convicts in a chaingang, for they are i Good Thoughts from Talmagr. What the Farmer Would Have to Pay.

Princeton will sew on a little piece, and I'nion Seminary will sew on a little piece, and Alleghany seminary and Danville seminary will sew on other pieces, and by the time the creed is done it will be as vuriogaten as Jos eph's coat of many colors. Think of having to change an old creed to make it clear that all infants dying goto heaven! I uni so glad that the committees are going to let the babies in. Thank you. So many of them are already in, that all the hills of heaven look like a Sunday school anniversary. Now, what is the use of fixing up a creed which left any doubt on that subject? No mail ever doubted that all infants dying go to heaven, unless he be a Herod or a Charles Guitcau. 1 was opposed to overhauling the old creed at all, but now that it has been lifted up and its imperfections set up in the sight of the world, 1 say over-board with it and make a new creed. There are to-day in our denomination .‘>00 men who time generally, w ith no loss on our side. We ran stop work most any time to give welcome to a passing friend and have a little chat, and our neighlmrs do the same by us; if yon go into one of these factories or workshops or even a printing office, the first sign board that meets you says, “don’t talk to the workmen.” Sociable crowd, ain’t it? There’s no monotony upon the farm. There's something new every day and the changing work brings into action every muscle in the human frame. We plow and hoe, and har row and sow, and gather it at harvest time. We look after the horses and cows, the pigs and sows, and the rams and the lambs, and the chick ens and the turkeys and geese. We cut our own wood, raise our own bread and meat, and don’t have to be stingy of it like city folks.

The Third party has no claims upon the farmers of Georgia. It is not in any respect entitled to their sup port.

Miss Crosby is employed in a large publishing house, and each week she writes—yes, with her own pen—at least a half dozen hymns. She is a frail look ing woman of about sixty-three, with a shrunken figure, and wearing a black gown. Her face, however is always pleasant. Her eyes are sha ded by colored spectacles, and when she composes she sits in a big rock ing chair before a table, and with a copy of some hook before her, w hile she seribles away on big sheds of paper. She has the faculty of mak ing graceful and tuneful rhymes to fit music already written, or for music* not yet composed. She writes a great deal, and is extremely careful in the use of words. She can perform on the guitar and piano, and she often sits Ix-forejthe ivory key-hoard for hours, while her fingers wander over the keys and she hums new melodies. She is totally blind, hut in her own apartment she can move about readi- hundret h part as responsible for each other as you are apt to imagine. lietyoiir love lie founded in admira tion and friendship. Strive to correct your own faults and study to make the other happy, and tx‘ exceedingly careful that you never reverse this rule. Keep your most refined and geutle manners for the home. Never refer to a mistake that was made with good intentions. When a wrong is pardoned bury it in oblivion. Consider the other’s honor your ow n and shield each ot tier’s weakness es w ith sacred jealousy. Remember that ill-temper nearly always comes of disappointment or overwork or physical suffering. Treat each other as courteously in private as you treat your friends iu the drawing-room. Never allow intimacy to become familiarity. The World's Weight of Sorrow. There are seasons when the heart staggers, oppresssed by the burden of the world’s weight of sorrow, and one pauses to ask, How can this be borne? What of the myriads every* where who suffer, the myriads of whom we have never heard, whose names we do not know, whose faces we shall never see? The daily paj>ers with their accumulations of crime, calamity, and woe, the accounts brought to our doors hy every wind, of fair lives wrecked, of noble pro spects blasted, of reputations dis honored, of weak yielding to tempta tion. are enough to madden one w ere there not always the strength of eter nal right to which to cling. Think of it, mothers. Fivery crim- nal, whose guilt robs him of human pity, came into this world hy the portals of human life; was cradled iu a mother's arms, was a baby over whom some woman's heart rejoiced and was triumphant. Those hoys who have become thieves and assas sins, and around w hose names execra tion gathers in a thick cloud, were as beautiful, as innocent, as sweet once as your baby boys are today.
