True Lite.
I live for those who love mo,
?. For those I know nre true.
Flir the heaven that mnlles above me,
... Ami awaits my spirit too;
For the human lies that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that I call do.
I liVe'to learn their story.
_ \\ hq've suffered for "my sake,
To othuhde their glory.
j And follow'in their wake?
Hards, marry rs, patriots, sages,
The nobles of all ages.
Whose deeds crown history's pagts,
Alid Time's great volume make.
I bve to hail the season,
By gifted minds loretold.
?"When men shall rule by reason,
And not ahme by gold?
When man to man united.
And every wrong iblng righted.,
The whole world shall be lighten,
As Kden was id old.
I live to hold com in union
With all that is divine,
To feel lhere is a union
'Twlxt mil ore's heart and mine,
To prolit by ;.Miel ion.
Reap truths Iroiu Heids of fiction,
Grow wiser irein convict ion.
And IiiIIi 1 each great design.
1 live for those who love me.
For those who know me true.
For I he heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For the wrong that needs resistance,
'.For the cause that lacks assistance,
For t be future hi the distance,
And the good that I can do.
The Story oi a Trail.
She was a tall, stout individual and
sprang out of Uie wagon as lightly as
a spring chicken after a grass-hop
per. 11c was a little, withered, dried
up weasel, and followed slowly, with
a basket of eggs. They entered one
of our stores and she asked :
"What are you givin' for eggs?"
'?Eight cents," was the reply of the
'county jumper.
"Well, here arc three dozen," said
' the fat party, "and I'll take it out in
"calico."
"But I want some yarn to mend
up mj socks," put in the old man.
"The weather will soon be warm,"
replied the fat party, "and you can
then go without socks."
"Hut my boots hurt my feet," in
sisted the old man.
"Go barefooted," said she rather
sharply. Then turning to the clerk,
she changed her tone, and remarked :
"?"Young man please count out the
' eggs and give mc four yards of cali
co to match this 'ere dress."
"But-," the old man was going
to continue, when she raised her
huge index finger and said : "Henry
Winter Davis Spriggins, them 'cro
eggs urc mine; the hcus what laid
'era arc mine ; the corn what fed 'era
was mine, and 1'sc going to have a
trail on this ere dress as long as
Betsy Gowen's, if every toe on 3*our
foot turn into gumbilcs. Now, shut
'up! and you youngster, yank of that
'?cro calico, or you will hear a bum
ble bee r. buzzin'."
The old man shut up, and the
clerk yanked off the calico,
Don't Get the Big Head.
Don't get too big for your breeches
.?just because you are a little prosper
'ous, and have a few more dollars
than some of your less fortunate
?neighbors. Man)' a man much bet
ter off than you are has come to his
wallet and slaff. Before the war we
remember to have heard a then rich
?man say that he was never to work
lin the field. That same man to-day
is ^ploughing an ox and splitting
:rails. Facts?and, if we felt so dis
posed, could name him. Go slow on
your moonshine prosperty and riches,
?for you may yet tumble. Don't get
the big head, but take your prosperi
ty slow?you may get under the
wcalln r, and yet be glad to have
your poor neighbors recognize you.
A poor man is just as good as a rich
one, if not better?were ii not for
the poor people, this thing called a
world would soon bo nothingness,
and the inhabitants would soon go
to the devil. The poor, not the
rich man, keeps this world moving.
Is he entitled to no respect for it?
'Think and consider the matter.?Ex
'change.
How Not to Get Locai News.
He came into our office, and after
paying his subscription, said :
"1 guess you can stop sending my
paper, I've just subscribed for a pa
per I need more."
"Just so," wc returned.
IIo pulled it out of his pocket and
handed it to us for inspection. It
was a Philadelphia publication, being
neatly printed, ornamented with a
handsomely engraved head, and con
taining about forty-eight columns of
reading matter.
"A very fair looking paper," said
Wc. "But my dear sir, do you find
much news concerning our county in
it?'*
"No, ho didn't know that he had
fionnn any."
"Do you find anything about our
fSlftte?"r"
"No, he never did."
Ami yet he mcded that sheet much
more than he did his county paper.
Such are blessings to any communi
ty. What cnbrpriso Wtuld flourish
with them?
What Farmers Sucoeed.
That farmer will succcd who makes
up his mind that tho whole Beeret of
success is in himself, that it is tho
man and not tho husircss that tells,
lie will succeed if ho brings to bear
the same amount of skill, forethought,
energy, economy and judgment, that
any other branch of business requires.
I Ho will succeed if he sticks close to
j his farm, as the mechanic does to his
shop, and not expect to work three
or four months and then take his
ease the rest of the year. That farm
er will succeed who lakes the papers
and digests what he reads, and is not
afraid of new ideas and now inetho
of industry. Ho will succeed if it is
his intention, that whatever he sends
to umikct shall be the \cry best, and!
so made and put up thai when seen
it will be captivating fur its freshness,
cleanliness and purify, and will be
unhcasitatingly taken on account of
his well known character for honesty
of weight, measure and count. Those'
who have farms may think themselves
fortunate, for although they will not
thereby lind sudden rofuls to wealth,
they certaiuly prove that persistent
farm labor will bring a sure reward.
It is worth)' of notice, that the adven
turer and speculator, with blasted
hopes and shattered health and for
tune, have in the end to come back
to the farm for health and safety.
Agriculture is the basis of national
strength and wealth, and a most cer
tain and liberal support of all who
follow it intelligently.
The Old Flag.
What is the matter wi& tho people
of Sumtcr, any how? If Mr. Charles
H. Moiso is reported correctly in Iiis
testimony before the Teller Commit
tee the Stars and Stripes are not very
popular in the Game Cock Count)*,
and by the time Mr. Charles II.
Moise's statement t,o this effect shall
have run through a half dozen of the
stalwart organs of the northwest, it
will have been made plain to the
mind of the world that the people of
Sumtcr County stand sadly in need
of some more reconstruction. If Mr.
Charles H. Moi&c's statement is true
then arc the people of Sumtcr very
stupid, and sadly iu need of correc
tion. Each rcd-shirted Democrat in
the county should be penned up and
fed on broiled American Eagles for
at least six months. The men should
be made to wear the uniform which
brother Jonathan always wears in
the dime novels and on the stage ;
and the ladies should all be forced to
dress a la Columbia, while the in
fants should be condemned to wear
penny bibs and tuckers, made of red,
while and blue, until after they arc
weaned. In fact, the people of Sum
tcr should be put through such a
course of discipline that, at the mere
sight of a carpet-bag, every man, ?vo
rnan and child in the county would
rise up aud shout, until they arc
hoarse, for the old flag?and an ap
propriation.?Sunday Times.
Well Kept Farms.
A well ordered farm, well chosen
slock, comfortable buildings, a neat
ly kept garden, toad way or entrance j
wav, ga'es well bung, fences well
kept, shade trees, ornamental shrub
bery, paint without and whitewash
within?all these arc worth more to
a farmer in money value than a hun
dred dollars carefully scraped to
gether and jealously hoarded and
loaned to needy neighbors at inter
est. No investment pays so well as
I money judiciously spend in far;
ptovonienis. Draining wol laud will
pay 50 to 100 percent, on ii s cost
every year; good stock will pay
equally weil, good roads will turn
lheir cost every year, a gate will
save its cost in a short time, a good
fence may save ils whole cost in one
night, a well-kept garden, a neat
lawn, orchard and shade frees, which
need not cost 8100, havo added ten
limes thiil amount to the valuo of a
farm, and the comfort and self-re
spect gained through the outlay fov
these and from their possession are
worth more than the cost.
Blessings on him who invented
sleep?the mouth that covers all hu
man thoughts, the food that ap
peases hunger, tho drink that
quenches thrist, the fire that warms
cold, the cold that moderates heat,
and. lastly, the general coin that
purc'iases all things, the balance and
weight that equals the shepherd with
the king, and the simple with the
wise.
A witty Western editor, suffering
from a depleted purse, copied in his
paper an account of an accident, in
which the man rescued from drown
ing related that, at, the moment of
sinking, he had a most vivid recollec
tion of every circumstance of Infi life,
and at the end of the paragraph
pointedly advises Ids subscribers to
bathe in deep water.
