Littla Sermons.
Tito error of ti moment often be
comes tho sorrow of u whole life.
Tlio divinity of charity consists
in relieving a man's needs bifore
the are forced upon us.
Tho slii'hte.st sorrow for sin is
snflieient if it produce amendment;
tho greatest is insufficient if it does
not.
?lie highest perfection of human
reason is to know that tliero is an
infinity of truth beyond its reach.
There are some persons on whom
their faults sit well, and others who
are made ungraceful by their good
ness. '
Ho who makes a great fuss about
doing good will do very little; ho
who does good only to bo. noticed
will not do it long.
The greater the difficulty the
more glory in surmounting it.
Skillful pilots gain their reputation
from storms and tempests.
To rojoice in another's prosperi
ty is to give content to your own
lot; to mitigate another’s grid is to
alleviate or dispel your own.
Strength of resolutioniifs f in it
self, domination and ability; and
tliure is a seed ol sovereignty in the
biuToiinesh of unflinching determin
ation.

& Sad History-
A history almost as sad and ro
mantic as that of Romeo and Ju
liet is attached to Green Mount,
the well-known cemetery at Balti
more, Mil, Tim property was
onco owned by John Oliver, a
wealthy English merchant, ilis
only child, a beautiful girl of 20,
was loved by a young man whose
only utfitness to become her hus
band lay in the fact that a personal
feud existed between him and the
girl's stern father. They met
clandestinely and planed an elope
ment, The father found it out,
and gave orders to his servants to
patrol tho grounds by night and
shoot all trespassers, Disgustod
in man's clothing, the girl at
tempted to escape, aufl was shot
dead at the gate. Grief-stricken,
her father erected a mausoleum
upon the spot,and deedc 1 the entire
property to tli) city for a cemetery,
A County Without a Dram

The inhabitants of Edward coun
ty, Illinois, do not support any
temperance lecturers,or spend their
lime talking about temperance.
They decided twenty-five years ago
that no liquor should bo sold in the
county, and since that liino they
have sent but one person to the
penitentiary, and he committed a
crime while drunk on whiskey pro
cared in an adjoining county; they
support but two or three paupers,
and their jail is empty most of the
time. Their taxes are thirty -two
per cent lower than the adjoining
counties, and their terms of court
occupy but three days in a year,
while their tax rolls show that they
return more property than any oth
er counly in the State ol equal pop
ulation.
This is a case where the minori
ty cannot complain of any invasion
of private rights, for the people
aro unanimously opposed to license
under any circumstances. Fami
lies seek the loc-lity as a good
place to bring up children. When
confronted with statistics of a mod
el couniy, even old topers admit
there is something in it; bat it evi
dently is not whiskey.—Golden
Rule.
Wise and Otherwise.
An Englishman asked a Cincin

“You just, hot. your boots we're a

The greatest crop raised uud r
slavery was that of but it
animated to only 4,823,770 bales,
or about 1,(500,000 loss than the
quantity pro bleed last year*
Mr John M Tucker relates the
following: Several nights ago on a
portion of bis plantation there was
a shower of rain. .Next morning
acres of Ids land were covered with
what is known as spring lizzarda.
There were bushels of them all
around, and covered the ground so
thick that the negroes could hardly
find a clear spot on which to eat
their breakfast. By noon they
were all dead. A cheap fertilizer
were those lizzarda —Milledgovillo
Union and Recorder.
The cotton crop last year was by
far the largest over gathered in the
S utli, A considerable quantity of
it still remains on tio plantations,
and it is therefore impossible to givo
in exact figures tho number of bales
produced. The most careful esti
mates, however, put tho total at
over (1,400,000 halos, or uoarly a
mtlli n aud a hall bales more than
the splendid crop of T 871).
A dispatch from Dallas, Toxas
says that tho wheat harvest lias be
gun in that section, and that the
quality is bet ter than at any time
during the past twelve years, Tho
yield will average 18 bushels to the
acre. Tho j. respects of all tho crops
are good but the general acreage
will be smaller than last year on ac
count of the scarcity of labor.

Old Saw Reset-
A great mark is soonest hit.
A hasty man never wants woo,
A happy heart makes a happy
visage.
A handful of trade is a handful
ol gold.
A jest driven too tar brings home
woo,
A handsome man and a fool may
wear the same cap.
A great man's foolish sayings
pass for wiso ones.
A joke never gains an; enemy,
but olten loses a friend.
A joyful evening may follow a
sorrowful morning.
A great man will not trample on
a worm or speak to an Emperor.
A Handful of common sense is

I’rof. Tymlall has invented a ma
chine by which the cracking of the
flames in the sun can bo heard. It
will now ho possible to satisfactori
ly determine whether Mars is in
habited- With the Professor's ma
chine a woman in Mars might be
heard callinu her f.mrteen-year-old
son down to breakfast half an hour
before holiojl timo. The instru
ment might not he sensitive enough
to convoy the sound of her lirst call,
because she doesn't elevate her
voice very altitudiaously; but the
fourteenth shriek for ‘John Ilen-r-r
K HE!' would nearly knock the
safety valve off it. —Griffln News.
Careless boys and girls make
careless men and women, For out

careful with yourselves, and re
member that a ctreless boy or girl
will be a c treless man or woman.
Avoid caielessness by ail means, as
it will make life a burden to you,

The Mom-on county wheat crop
is’ promising, and if it escapes
