WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26. What to Read. It is very important that vicious books should be kept oat of the household. Oue bad book cao do more harm to a mind that is receptive of evil and wick? edly inclined than a half doren good books can possibly counteract. We mentioned a book that sold well. A friend told os it was a bad book not fit for the home circle. We were afraid to make the statement because we felt - sure so.??e would buy it theo who other? wise would give it the go-by. We ooci condemned a novel as deprav? ed, iud soon after we beard of some girls reading it just to see in what tho depravity consisted. The mind of the youthful is ductile and impressionable, and only the pure and wholesome books should be read. No wise person will read an indifferent book wheo there are so many thousands of the best books. It is a waste of time aod opportunity as well as an abuse of privilege to read im? pure aod inferior bocks, as it requires as muon time to read a poor and vicious book as it requires tc read the elevated and great works of j men rad women of genius. Make it a rule never to read a second rat? book if yon can get a better one. Adopt Mr. Gladstone's rule of not reading any book that ts not a year old. And turn from low and vulgar books, or stories with vicious or insidious motifs as yon would turn from a cesspool of Sith or a lazar house. And this brings ns to say a word . about the dear boys and-girts-the trea? sures of the households in our land. Xet them be supplied with bright books, good books Works of travel, of ad? venture, of the imagination are what they need, but they must be selected carefully, or harm may be done. [ | .'Robinson Crusoe,*' "Sanford aod Mer? ton," "Arabian Nights," "Ivanhoe" 1 and ''The Talisman," among the old ? books, are of the best for t them. Then among books written i since Scott, they might read with \ delight and profit, Pick wick Papers'* 1 ano "Nicholas Nickleby,*' and the first i few chapters of "David Copperfield." ( Do not put "Oliver Twist," by the 1 same great ant Lor, Dickens, in their < bands. Ali of Thackeray about boys- t Pen and Clive, and Rawdon, and old t Figs and Briggs, may be given them, c Let them read "Tom Brown at Rug- t by," by all means. Scott's "Quentin i Durward" and "The Pirate," and "The t Fair Maid of Perth," might be read with innocent relish. Then there are Cooper's tales of "The Last of the Mohicans," and "The Spy" that might be well included. Of later works, there cannot be anything better than "The Schonberg Cotta Family," ''Swiss Family Robinson," "Kidnap? ped," a book of marvellous literary skill by Stevensoo, "Little Lord Faun? tleroy," and one or two others by the same gifted hand, "Uncle Remus/' Miss Marfree's "Down the Ravine," * capital piece of work, and Page's un? equalled, inimitable stories. We might extend ike list. These are works for boye and girls of intelligence to read, mho eas understand and relish books above tbs dime novel standard. Be sure to provide pure, healthful, invigo? rating, stimulating food for the minds of your sons and daughters Gen. Long's "Life of Robert E. Lee" is an excellent book for boys and girls from fourteen years and upward. Before this writer was sixteen be had read such books as Hume's "History of Eng? land," continued by Smollett and Mil? ler in four large octavos ; Rollins's "Ancient History*' in eight volumes, Kobertson's "Charles the Fifth," much of "Plutarch's Lives," Shakes? peare, Milton, and many other works of a ao?id character. That boyish leve for books, and the best, has been our friend and consolation as well as stay all through the eventful years that have followed. Any one who really loves good books may well thank God for the ?ift.- Wilmington Messenger. The English Sparrow. The English sparrow which was in? troduced in this country about a decade ago, bas become a terror not only here bot all over the country He was first let loose n Fairmount Park, Philadel? phia, for the avowed purpose of exter mioatiog worms aod caterpillars, bot it bas been said that be immediately be? came the boon companion aod bosom friend of these virmicules. He quickly made his say to the South and seems to be committing havoc io the feathered kingdom in this sectioo, Ao observer says 'he thinks that he hears fewer of the South'* greatest songsters, the mock? ing birds, now warbling than ever be? fore, and believes that tbe feathered sing? ers are abandoning this section. The only way he can accouut for their disap pearance is the advent in this section of the Eogli>h sparrows, which have be? come the greatest oui^arsces wherever they have made their appearance. They are turbulent and pugnacious lit? tle birds, :>v.d all other birds which do not possess the same characteristics make haste to abandon their favorite re? treat and leave the sparrows in posses? sion of the field * It would be a great pity indeed if the South's favorito birdh should be forced out or exterminated by the English sparrow, and any means to exterminate or drive him away should be resorted to. as one mocking bird is worth the whole race. Cleveland's Courtship. Mrs Grover Cleveland told somebody the other day the way she was courted : " 'Oh, there are the .nottt ridiculous Stories told about us, bot honestly, they are hardly as funny as it really was Uncle Grover proposed to me five limes be ore I aocepted him First, wheo I was 14, and I just laughed at the idea, for he seemed so much older. Then again two years later, wheo I weat to college, and the third time when he was elected Governor of New fork. I was by DO means ready to marry any one, and he ?et things go for a year, or nntil he was nominated for the Pres sidency. Then be asked me again, and I again refaced. At last be was elected and I promised to marry him io a year. Of coarse i always liked bim better than any one else, and I always meant to marry bim some day " Gen. E T. Stack house left last Mon? day night for Atlanta to attend a meet? ing of the presidents of the State Alli? snoes of rhe colton States. The meet? ing wac called by the president of the National A .ia nee for the por pose of discussing the baggiog question.-Fte I Dee Index. j The Tare on Qetton. The Southern Manufacturers' Asso? ciation in a recent meeting in Augusta, decided to withdraw its offer to pay a bonus of 10 cents on every 100 pounds of cotton its mills received from pro? ducers wrapped io cotton bagging. This bonus these mills have been payiug during this season, and it has operated more as a moral support to the farmers than an actual aid of impor? tance in thc use of cotton bagging, as really only a small minority of the farmers of the Sooth sold their cotton directly to the mills. The main balk of the crop was sold to the exporters, aod not to the mills, aod every bale so sold covered in cottoo bagging brooght a loss to the producer It is stated now that next season the farmers will demand that cottoo shall be sold by net weight, and tare will be allowed only in proportion to the weight of the covering used. If this is adjusted it is evident that the best covering of native growth for the fanners to use will be that which is the strongest and most durable, and also the cheapest ; aod we do not think it possible for cotton bagging to fulfill these requirements. ( It is stated that the bead men of the i Alliance are now in correspondence I with the cotton Exchanges in Liver- t pool, Havre aod Bremen, with the i view to have the tare oo cottoo adjusted c to the actual weight of the covering t used. There is justice io this, aod if i it is done the cotton bagging msy be i used at less loss than it was last season ; 1 but with the lowest grade of cotton c worth 10 cents per lb., it is difficult to c see bow strong cottoo bagging of 44 ioche? width cao be manufactured and soldat less than lo or 14 cents per t ^ard.-Aiken Recorder. t C Mrs. Jackson's Pension. c BALTIMORE, March 19 -A Char- f otte, (N.

On the subject of cottoo seed sugar he Manufacturers' Record, standard au bority, says : *The latest reported dis ?overy in connection with the cotton eed comes from Germany, where, it ia laid, a process bas been discovered fur ixtractiog sugar from cotton seed meal. The sugar is of a very superior grade, >ot cannot be sold iu competition with he ordinary article. It is said to be nciined to ferment or sour, and hence metter for use in preserving fruits. It s said to be fifteen times sweeter than jane sugar, and twenty times more so han sugar made from beefs * The cotton seed oil manufactured at he will in Marion this season ha* been >f a very superior quality and when pat >n the market ha? brought the very highest prices offered for unrefined oil. When ordinary oil wa4? selling at only rwenty seven c**nts the Marion oil sold for twenty-eight and there was a de? mand for it at that price Mr. B K Mullins received a letter a few days ago from a prominent dealer in New York asking for additional shipment* and stating that there was a strong demand for oil of the same quality as that manufactured here lu addition to this the yield of oil from the seeds has j been large, the average being about forty and one-half gallons per ton.

A beau took a letter from his pocket, io order to read something from it to a fair cousin who sat by his side. "Ah, she mailed you a kiss," the girl remarked. "Not that I know of/' was the fel? low's reply. "Look there," and she pointed to crinkled place down at the corner of the sheet, such as a damp spot might haye left. "Haven't you learned the latest sentimental thing ? A girl presses th< paper to ber Hps, leaviog a mark like that, aod so incloses a kiss without writing a word of confession.
