Sir?. IX. L. Bayne, in Detroit Free Press.
A little child was reading,
The text was wond'rous fair;
“We shall go home at evening
And find it morning there.”
“It means, mama,” she prattled,
With shining eyes and fond,
“When all the stars are lighted,
Thai Heaven is just beyond.”
Closed, closed that book forever!
To prove that promise fair,
My child went Home at evening
And found the morning there.
And often when Pm weary,
And often when I’m sad, '
Comes back that precious reading,
To make my spirit glad.
And what are years of waiting?
And what are years of pain?
If when the Heavens are opened
I may behold again
My gentle little reader,
And her sweet promise share?
“We shall go home at evening
And find it morning there.”

Zeke Brings Up the Bear;
, Loses His Shoe. Almost a
Panic at the Next House. *
Transcribed from a Soldier's Diary for the
HOME JOURNAL.
july 14th 1861.
“Hold on boys,” says* Zeke, “I
have lost oue of iny old shoes —yon
der it is eight or ten step3 below
me.”
“Oh let it go,” sayys Jim; “we
haven! time to be fooling with
yon.”
‘You are a fool,” says Zeke, “you
don’t suppose I can go a hun
dred or two miles yet through these
rough mountains stark barefooted,
with only the leg of a sock on? It
is true it amounts to almost noth
ing, but it does help a little.”
“It is as good as you deserve,”
says Jim, “and it will take some of
the starch out of you. You’ll be
as kind as a lamb by the time we
reach Monterey or Stanton.”
“I see I’ve got you to whip,”
says Zeke, and I am in just the hu
mor to do it iu a pair of minutes,
if you’ll hold on 'till I get my shoe
and get back up to you. Did you
ever read iEsops Fables about the
goat on the house top squalling at
the wolf?”
“Go back then you old scamp
and get your shoe while we blow a
few moments. You know that I
wouldn’t hurt you for the world.
I’m in a hyperbolical mood again,
or only trying to take spite out- of
you to get even with theworld tliat
won’t let up on us.”
Now Zeke comes puffing and
palling back with his old shoe in
his baud aud a scowl on his face
that caui never be forgotten. Sits
down on a rock, aud almost crying
ties it back on his foot with a hick
ory withe aud says:
“I am ready to try it again, bat
you fellows don’t know how I am
suffering with my partially bare
feet on these intolerable rocks.”
“Yon had no business to wear
out your shoes,” says Clint.
“How in the Tom Walker conld
•I help it? You fellows don’t seem
to have a particle of sympathy in
your natures.”
“I told you Bill, Zeke would be
the first man to hack after we got
welt under way iu the mountiaus.”
“I am not hacked,” says Zeke.
Who could stand these rocks bare
footed, or nearly so, without com
plaining. Better men than I am
would have enrsed^ike a sailor be
fore now, and it takes my best to
keep from it. Yon fellows are
enough to worry the : .”
“Didn’t I tell yoiiso?” says Jim,,
as he slipped up and skiuned his
nose ou a rock.
“I am glad of it,” says Zeke,
“and now I reckon you’ll keep
your mouth to yourself for a
while.”
“Pull down a little longer boys,”
says Clint. “1 think we are nearly
to the top—yes I see the house
through that opening yonder, and
from what our friend told us, I
think we will be able to get a good
diuner.”
“That’s'all you study about,”
says Jim.
“What’s that Clint?” says Zeke.
“Oh, I wish yon would keep up
and hear what is said without ask
ing so many questions. I have no
breatli to spare to be repeating so
much. I-say-yonder-is-the-honse
on—top~of—the~mountain—and—I-
think-we-can-get-a-good-dinner.
“God grant you are not mistaken,
for I am almost dead, and as hnn-
gryas ”
“Yon mean .thirsty, dou’tyon?”
says Jim.
“You go to thunder, I know
what I am talking about, and be
side, l do»’t want any more of your
' gab.”
“Yes,-that is the house sore
enough, apd Watt and Bill Bainey
and Lawrence Felder are nearly to
it—they are now getting over the
: fence into the yard,” says Zeke.
j “Pat ou a little more sjeam,”
i says Jim, “and I think you’ll make
; the trip.”
| Now we are np at last, aud the
j other boys had already gone in,
i whom we found sitting on the door
| steps as pleasing as a basket of
chips. The table they saw just
ready for dinner as they stepped
up. to the door.
Says Clint, standing near the
steps, but iu full view of the table:
“My friend, what is the chance for
seven of ns to get dinner? We
tried a near cut to the top of the
mountain, and don’t believe we
gained much by it—the way is
rough and precipitous, and we are
very tired and hungry withal.’
“Well —men,” says the man of
the mountains, “if you can put up
with such as we are able to give
yon, you are welcome to it. Come
in set down while the old lady and
the gals cook some more. We
were just ready to sit down to the
table, but it won’t take long to fix
enough for all. You do look like
you all are tired;” and at this mo
ment glancing at Zeke, who had sat
down beside a tree examining and
frowning over his feet, with the
blood oozing out of his big toe
now sticking out of his torn up
shoe like the head of a terrapin.
Exclaims, “Great Scots! what in
the world is the matter of your
foot? it seems to be bleeding.”
“Oh nothing much, sir. My
shoes are a little worn, and I stump-
ped my toes against the rocks
coming up the mountains,” says
Zeke.
The old gentleman happened to
look around about this moment
and foaud all the others convulsed
with laughter, and which seemed
to confuse him. Zeke looking up
about the same moment, for the
sympathy of. the old man and see
ing the laugh at his expense, broke
out in a hearty laugh himselE say
ing: “My friend, yon mast excuse
these fellows; they were all turned
out of the luuatic asylum a short
while ago to join the army, as
sound and well, bat they have off
spalls now and then. Still there
is no harm in them. They may ap
pear simple to you, and they are
really that indeed, but they are
under perfect control iu my bunds.
You see they are all well armed, as
well as myself,- but jast let me raise
this old musket and give a sharp
squall at them and every fellow will
crouch down aud beg like a child.
They are afraid of me, but all
seem to love me, and are under
perfect control.” -
“My Lord, mammy, did yon hear
that old big soldier say all them
others was crazy or had been so
and turned out oE the Asylum?”
whispers Buth.y
What is the Asylum Butliy?”
says the old woman.
“Hit’s the place where they
keeps crazy folks. Don’t you re
member about Pussy Hickeubot-
tom that went crazy last year, and
was so wild and tore up her clothes
and said all sortsjof things? The
neighbors took and carried her to
a place like that big old soldier
said. He calls it the Asylum. My
teacher told all the scholars that it
was pronounced ‘Aslum,’ and said
the ‘y’ didn’t ’mount to nothin’.”
“Goodness gracious, call your
pap aud tell him to come in the
honse quick.”
“Pop! Oh pap! Mammy says
come here quick,” calls .Bothy.
“Old man,” whispers the old
woman, as he enters the house,
“Buthy says she heard that big old
soldier settin’ by the tree tell you
them other six soldiers had been
in the Aslum crazy, and that they
still had spells no.w.”
“Yes, that’s what he said,” snys
the old man, “and I feel a little jn-
bu3 about them myself.”
“For the Lord’s sake,” says the
old lady, “take that big old soldier
what.controls 'em and whisper to
him—don’t let ’em bear yon—and
beg him to go on with ’em and tell
him you will catch .up with him
with the dinner just as soon as it
is done. Tell him the wiminen
folks is afraid of ’em.”
“Bat I hate to do that—maybe
they’ll behave if you’ll hurry np
dinner and fill ’em up quick. I
have always beam it said the best
thing yoq can do for sorter crazy
people is to fill ’em up," says the
old man.
“Oh pap, do go and do what mam-
•my says. Me and G incyan u and
and the two Ubycom gals what’s
here, is all skeered. We will all
leave and go over to ■
“Well, i’ll take him aside and
tell him what yon say.”
The old man returns to the yard
or tree beside which Zeke was still
sitting aud monkeying with and
frowning over his big toe, and
beckons him aside. The balance
of ns wonder wliafr he wanted to
say to Zeke that we should not
hear (woman’s curiosity yon
know).-
Says Jim to Clint: “I wonldn’t
be surprised if that old man really
believes that Zeke has fall charge
of ns, or suspicions that there is
more trnth than poetry in what
that fool told him about having in
time been crazy. 1
COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.
* . Savannah News.
Southerners who have studied
the annual report of the secretary
of the New Orleans Cotton Ex
change, published a few days ago,
are gratified with the evidence of
the increase of cotton manufactur
ing in the south. There ore now
540 cotton mills in the southern
states, and in many of them there
has been a very great increase iii
the number of spindles within the
last year. The increase in the
amount of cotton consumed, how
ever, shows more clearly than any
thing else the increase in the man-
nfacture of cotton goods in the
If so,” says Clint, “lie has pull r south. The total consumption last
year was 10 per cent, greater than
that of the previous year. This
increase indicates that cotton man
ufacturing in the south pays, and
justifies the conclusion that the
time is not distant when a very
large part of the cotton crop of the
south will be manufactured within
her limits. Indeed, the expecta
tion that the south will become a
great manufacturing section is hot
at all extravagant. In his report,
Secretary Hester says that in each
of several southern states there is
a larger amount of cotton goods
manufactured than there was in
the whole south ten years ago.
New plants for manufacturin.
cotton goods are being established
all the time. And about all of
them prove to be profitable prop
erties. The few mills which do
not pay ore not,as a general tiling,
wisely managed. Y^ith anything
like good management, cotton
mills pay •handsomely % any part
of the south.
The mill in. this city is so suc
cessful that it has led to the estab
lishment of a knitting mill, and
there is a movement to erect a
very large cotton mill. In nearly
all the southern cities, and partic
ularly in the interior towns, there
is a very decided tendency toward
the establishment of cotton manu
facturing plants.
And the reason of this is plain.
Cotton goods cau be manufactured
more cheaply in the south than in
any other part of the country.
There is plenty good material out
of which to make operatives, and
the climate and other things are
favorable to cheap living. And
the cotton can be obtained at much
less cost than in Europe or in the
northern states of this country.
Every possible encouragement
ought to be given manufacturing
by the southern people. When
they manufacture the bulk of the
own mines, and
cotton from their own fields, they
will be the richest people in the
world.
ed the wool over our eyes quite
cleverly.”-
“Ha! ha!” laughs Zeke, as he
gets up and turns from the old man
toward us,'saying. “This gentle
man tells me his family and some
lady visitors overheard, what I said
about you fellows hawing once
been in.the Asylum and turned out
to go to the army. He, himself,
seems to be a little uneasy as well
at his family, and has requested
me, ns yonr keeper, for God’s sake
to take you on in the mountains,
proposing to overtake ns with the
diuner. I have told him it was all
fun, and on my part to get even
with the boys for so badly annoy
ing and flaying me while ascend
ing the mountain over the rocks
with my sore feet. Also that the
whole of you are as sane as I am,
and as clever a set of fellows as the
world ever produced, but as mean
the to me. He seems a
little doubtful now whether I told n
lie in the first assertion or am tell-
another in the second; and you
fellows must help me out of the
category I have fallen into, and
which of course involves yon all, or
something of much greater impor
tance, onr dinner.”
The women are now standing in
the middle of the floor opposite
the door and looking on apparent
ly in dread and suspense at what
the big old soldier is saying to the
six crazy ones. The Sold lady ca
reens and bobs her head at the old
man, as much as to say: “Now
you have done it. I told you not
to let the crazy ones hear or know
what yon said to their keeper, for
fear they might get mad and kick
up.”
“Truth of the matter is,” says
Zeke, “yon fellows must talk with
the old gentleman and all the ladies
in the housa—don’t-go in just now
—and convince them that yon are
perfectly sane and all right, and
that the whqje thing came up as a j ron ^ rum their
mere matter of fun amongst our
selves without any thought of pro
ducing alarm on the part of oth
ers.”
Jim whispers to Clint and says:
“We are in a box, but I am tempt
ed to suggest that we get even with
Zeke’s audacity by showing that
he is really crazy aud in oar
charge, or that he is really idiotic
and not responsible for what he
often says.”
’No,” says Clint, “that won’t do
just now, for you see the women
are really alarmed; just peep back
at them and see the expression on
their faces. We will find some
other equally as good opportunity
perhaps, before we get out of the
monntains to down him, and will
make fair weather by convincing
the whole of them that Zeke told a
lie in the first instance and the
truth in the second. I am hungry
and don’t care to jeopardize our
dinner, or even put it off by send
ing it to us a.vay from tbe honse,
we might not get it.”
“My friend,” says Clint, “we cau
assure yon that what the man with
the sore toes has last told yon is
tbe whole cloth—that is to say, the
trath. We have been joking each
other severely for some time as a
mere matter of pastime than other
wise, and the freak on which our
friend switched off was accidental,
on the impulse of the moment, and
as lie now sees, entirely inoppor
tune or out of place.”
Now Jim and all the others en
gage in a random conversation,
with the old man standing outside
in a broad and embarrassed grin,
and ;vith the “wimmen” folks, still
standing together in the middle of
floor. The old man apparently ful
ly convinced, as well as his family,
that the craze idea was only a joke
or hoax, invites ns in, assnring ns
that we are welcome to the best he
is able to do for us on so short no
tice.

SCROFULA IS BAD.
For all forms aud variations of

ease, it stands pre-eminent and in
comparable, Where the ordinary
treatment fails—and it does fail in
nine cases out of ten—S. S. S. will
effect a care. Some of the testi.
monials that the proprietors have

clude in their pamphlets, describe
cures that are almost miraculous.

. FALL CROPS.
W. J. Norihen in Southern Cultivator.
I have never failed to obtain a
good crop of oats if the seed were
properly put into the ground dar
ing September. I have had the
grain go through the severest win
ters withont material damage or
loss.
I do not claim that my plan is
the best, but I do not know any
thing better.
As soon as the fall rains begin I
break tbe ground thoroughly with
a two-horse plow, and sow the oats
and scatter tbe manure ou top;and
then thoroughly harrow the sur
face. If the oats, because of a
warm winter, promise - too rapid ad
vance, I put light stock on them
and graze them down. Small
areas put in early in this way, with
the ground well broken and deep
ly pulverized, will pay far better
than large areas badly “scootered”
in daring the early spring.
Our farmers take oat sowing too
much by “spurts.” Oats should
become one of the standard crops
on every farm. They are easily
grown and not expensive. They
make fiue food for stock, and give
an abundance of fair forage and
litter for manure. Failures from
bad management should not dis
courage: the cultivation. Farmers
should rather make the best con
ditions in selecting good land,
proper preparation and suitable
aud sufficient manuring.
Our methods on the, farm are too
expensive. Corn, requires all the
preparation; and; manuring given
to oats, an(1 then an expensive cul
tivation in addition. Oats will
give a more abundant and better
grain crop, and a fair lot of forage
at n great deal less expense. Let
all The Cultivator fanners try five
or ten acres.of oats to the horse on
the plan I suggest, and hold me to
censure if they fail of a good crop.
Once again I want to pi-ess the
cultivation of grasses. Lucerne,
clover and Bermuda grass will
save corn and oats, and they are
much more cheaply grown than
either. Lucerne will keep a horse
almost without* other food. In
deed, some farmers are reported as
keeping their stock on Lucerne
without food of any other kind.
Clover and Bermuda have been
written up time and again in The
Cultivator withont success in se
curing cultivation.
I find Lucerne succeeds better if
drilled.. The ground, as indeed
for all crops, should be well and
thoroughly prepared. This is the
month for oats and grasses.
WHAT HAS IT DONg?
It is now beiug pretty generally
asked by the third party agitators'
down south, “Whafe

Without being able to answer
the question fally,the Abbeville

lowing simple suggestions: / ’

than one-half the tax levy under
the radical administration.
2. It paid the officers, the inter
est on onr bonds, and all current
expenses, which payments the rad-
ment did not make,even'
the tax levy. •
• table men in office, and gave the
state credit abroad, so that our
bonds were at a premium. Under
the radical government they had
almost no marketable value.
4. It restored peace to South
Carolina, aud- disbanded mobs and
midnight assassins, aud gave a
feeling of safety to the inmates oE
every home , in South Carolina,
however hamdle.
5. It put good men in onr coun
ty offices. It employed a better
claes of school teachers, reduced
their salaries, and gave us more
than double one former school
privilege8,by opening more schools
and keeping them open longer.
6. It developed a revenue from
the phosphate deposits of nearly a
quarter of a million of dollars uu-
unally, bat about half of this has
been "stopped by the present ad
ministration.
And the Press and Banner might
have gone on to infinity.
