THE DAYS ARE GROWING LONGER.
Along the bright horizon line,
Dividing earth from orient skies,
We look more northward sign
Of light each morn as darkness dies ;
Yon wood,toward which the sun slow creeps;
Will soon resound with chirping song
Ihroughout its still and solemn deeps,
The days are growing long.
A week ago, the sunrise blaze
Left far to shadowy Worth you spire ;
This Sunday morn, the first bright rays
Its belfry lights with gleam of firo,
That, shining through its window, seems
An eye proj>hetic of the throng
Of joys with which the vision terms
When days are growing long.
Life’s day is growing long. We scan,
With curious, hopeful, awe-struck gaze,
Life’s dim horizon line, that man
Must pass ere treading heavenly ways,
Our sun each day the zenith nears, *
We sit in memory’s realm of song,
Like soon -will gleam earth’s
Life’s day is growing long.

out of it, a great many fish can be often

Mounted Missionaries.
Now that the Baptists are going to
buy an elephant for missionary pur
poses in Burmah, the missionary work
will be revolutionized, for the missiona
ries of other denominations must be a*
well mounted as the Baptists.
competition may be expected in this
direction. We shall soon hear of col
lections being taken among Presbyteri
ans and Methodists to buy other Scrip
tural animals. The giraffe is a crea

ness for getting over the ground in
good time. It can carry missionaries
of light weight with great facility
The missionaries in Egypt can easily
procure a lot of camels, and those in
Southern Africa will pjobably stop at
nothing short of ostriches. Solomon
bought apes and peacocks, and why
should not the missionary of to-day in
vest in such specimens of creation as
shall best advance the interests of his
mission ? Some clergymen are exceed

there is a dignity and. a style about a
missionary mounted on an elephant far
ahead of that of the average country

and many boxes of tooth-paste succeed- }

his friends when one of them exclaim

“Your wife hain’t got freckles—she’s

Hie King aud the Farmer.
King Fredeiick, of Prussic, when he
was out riding one day, saw aD eld far
mer, who was ploughing a field and
singing cheerfully over his work.
“You must be we.l off old man,” cried
the King. “Does this acre belong to
you on which you so industriously la
bor?”
“No, sir,” replied the old man. who
of course had no idea that he was
spetking to tfie King; “1 am not so
rich as that. I plow for wages.”
“How much do you earn a day 7”
asked the King.
“Eight groschen,” returned the old
mao. That would fee about twenty
cents of our money,
“That is very Utile,” said the King.
“Can you get along with it ?”
“Get along ! yes, indeed, I have
somethiug left.”
“How do. you manage ?”
“Well,” Said the farmer; smiling, “I
will tell you Two groschens are for
myself and my wife; with two I pay
my old debts, two I lend and two I
give away for the Lord’s sake.”
“This is and mystery which I cannot
solve,” said the King.
“Then 1 must solve it for you,” re.
i plied the farmer.
“I have cwo old parents at home, who
kept me and cared for me when I was
young and weak, and needed care. Now
that they are old and weak, I am glad
to keep aud care for them. This is
my debt, and it cost me two groschens
a day to pay it. Two more I spend on
my children’s schooling. If they are
living when their mother and I are old,
they will keep us and pay back what I
lend. Then with my last two groschen
I support my two sick sisters, who can
not work for themselves. Of course T
am not compelled to give them the
money ; but I do it for the Lord’s
sake.”
“Well done, old man,” cried the
King as he finished. “Now, lam go
ing to give you something to guess.—
Have you ever seen me before ?”
“No,” said the farmer.
“In les& than five minutes you shall
see me fifty t.mes, and carry in yoar
pocket fifty of my likenesses.”
“This is indeen a riddle which I can
not guess,” said the farmer.
“Then I will solve it for you,” re'
turned the King; and with that he put
his hand into his pocket, and pulling
out fifty gold pieces, placed them in the
hands of the farmer.
“The coin is genuine,” said the King,
“for it also comes from our Lord God,
and lam his paymaster. I bid you
good-bye.”
And he rode off, leaving the 'good
old man overwhelmed with surj.rise’and
delight.
A Yankee Boy.
•A tourist tells the following story :
Wo recently met our friend, l)r. Lord,
fortnerly of Boston. He has been a
resident of this section for about six
years. He was extensively engaged in
baying wool, and on one occasion, be
coming bewildered in multiplication of
the roads over the broad prairies, he
rode up to a small cabin inclosed in a
clump of locust trees, and addressed a
white~headed boy parched on the top of
a hen-coop, with :
“Bellow, buy I”
,l I reckon you’re a stranger,” was the
response.
“Look here, sonny.”
“I ain’t your sonny.”
“No, not my sonny, but if you Will
jump down and come here, I will give
you a dime.”
The boy sprang as if alighting from
a wash’s nest, and coming to the stran
ger, exclaimed :
“We’ll old boss, what is it !”
“I’ve lost my way and don’t know
where I am. Can you tell me ?”
“Yes ; on your horse.’”
Mr. Lord laughed at the boy’s wit
and handed him a dime. The boy took
the money, and looking up with min
gltd feelings of wonder and delight,
said :
“Reckon you must have a power of
money.”
“Why so. my boy ?”
“Cause you slather it away so.”
“What’s your father’s name?” in
quired Mr. Lord.
“Bill Jenks,” was tho reply.
“Ah! Yes, I know him,” exclaim
ed Mr Lord. “He grows wool, doesn’t
he ?”
“No, but his sheep does.”
“If you knew me, my lad, you would
be more respectful in your replies. I
am a friend of your father’s, my name
is Lord.”
“Oh ! yes,” exclaimed the astonish
ed lad ; “I heard pap read about youiu
the Bible.”
And starting off for the house on
\ a dead run, bawled at the top of his
lungs : •
“Mother, mother, the Lord is out
here on horseback, and has lost his
way.” —Texas Paper.

CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 17. 1877.
Nothing to Read.
Three successive rainy days in a coun
try farm house with nothing to read in
the whole house but a few musty old
volumes, dry as brickdust, and as sleep
producing as the plash, plash of the
rain. Would you believe a family cou and
exist without a newspaper, a magazine,
or any tresh message irom the outer
world to tell what is going on,what pro
gress is being made in knowledge, arts,
science acd literature. No wonder the
girls look vacuous and dull, no wonder
the boys are wild and love to run off to
the neighboring station and supply the
want of brain stimulant by imbibing
wfiiskj fend chewing quantities of to
bacco—gross stimulant* they might
never have craved had they been ac
customed to the healthy excitement
produced by whatever stirs thought and
fills the mind. Think of it; in this
latter half of the nineteenth century,
think of a couple who own a good
farm, big house and barn and fine or
chard, well-to-do, as the common phrase
has it—blessed with intelligent*chil
dren- and never a newspaper crosses
the threshold, except i come around a
pieefc of cheese or a half pound of tea.
I know of such empty bouses, don’t
you, reader ? Many of them with ele
gant belongings, where there is every
comfort for the body, but where an
active, hungry mind would absolutely
starve. llow careless our home mak.
ers are of the fact that they have a
duty beyond the mere feeding and
clothing of their dependents. Our
farmers, as a class, are criminally neg
ligent in these things. They do not
forget the grist mill, or the cider mill,
or the oat bin or the pig pen ; but they
do forget that their children need men
tal food, and uniesi that which tends
to healthy growth is furnished they
will p : ck up for themselves mind-pois
on. Parents go (sorrowing) to their
graves over vicious and dishonored
children, never dreaming wherein they
have been responsible.
A Local Returning Board.
They were playing poker, and Pomp
held a full hand. His eyes glistened
with conscious triumph as he put up a
ten-centante and gazed at his partner
expectantly.
“I raises dat ten cents,” remarked
Pete.
“I goes a quarter more,” insinuated
Pomp.
“I stand and raises anudder quarter,”
replied Pete.
“I continue on de war path and flops
down de last thirty cents,” answered
Pomp, placing his six nickels on the
table.
“I kivers de pile and calls you,” re
marked Pete.
“Pull hand,” said Pomp, turning his
cards “What you got ?”
“A pair, and de game am undeci
dod.”
“What’s dat? Undecided? Dis yer
chile takes de pile.”
“Not by a long chalk. Dis case
will now be referred to de Returnin’
Board, who will examine into the par
tickelars. Dar’s plenty more good
cards in de pack, and why didn’t I get
’em ? Dar’s been intimidation and
fraud, and meanwhile de Returnin’
Board takes possession of de spoils,”
and Pete reached out his hand.
Then the other side denied the right
of the Board to meddle, and when the
reporter left the horrible demon of civil
war was dancing in the neighborhood,
and a policeman was marching up to
mediate with a club. —Brooklyn /Sun

A I'ump Handle and the Trouble
it Caused.
One of those little domestic misfor
tunes which make hearts bleed and
homes temporarily desolate,, took place
yesterday in the back yard of a house
on the western end of Hickory street
occupied by the Johnson family. A
member of said family is a wirv and
irascible grandmother, who devotes
much of her time to keeping a mis
chievous brood of children out of mis
chief. The back yard has a cistern,
and the cistern has a pump, and the
pump has the asthma in a hopeless de
gree. It is one of those msokillers
that always stubbornly refuse to do any
work until a gallon of water has been
first poured into it by way of an in
ducement. The pump was more exas
perating than usual yesterday, and the
old lady was evidently in a hurry. She
brought out a pan of water—all that
there was in the house—poured it into
the top of the pump, dropped the pan
like a hot brick, snatched the pump
handle, and away she went, licketty.
split, sixty miles an hour. The rear
view of the old lady as she bobbed up
aud down was calculated to make a lazy
man ashamed of himself. The clatter
ol the pumpehandle was something ter
rific. As the the old lady sawed the
air, she soliloquized viciously: “El
(down) I (up) had (down) this (up)
pump (down) d’ye (upj know (down)
what (up I’d (down) dof*(up and
down) I’d (up) kick (down) th’ infer
nal (up) thing (down) over (up) ’n
stomp (dow&) on it (up).” This was
the critical moment which should de
termine whether the punip was going
to pump, or whether the bribe which
had been tendered to it was to be
wasted, with a discouraging wheaze
and “sa-a-a-uk.” The old lady would
probably have triumphed and fetched
the water, but just at this juncture the
remote end of the hand'e came in con
tact with something as it started down,
and there was a yell which made her
jump clear off of the platform, the
pump giving forth the fatal wheeze as
she did so. The old lady took in the
situation at a glance, and the way she
clutched up the little imp who had
come out and got under the pump han
dle just in time to cause the mischief
was amazing. She did not say any
thing that anybody heard, but there
was a long succession of spat-spat
spats witHn doors, followed by an ear 11
splitting wail, and shortly afterward
the imp, with its head bandaged, an 1
its eyes red, was on its way to a neigh •
bor’s house to get some water to make
the pump work.— St. Louis Republi

Watering Stock.
These same cattle are always well fed;
that is they have plenty of good hay
and fodder—the cows were usually dry
during the winter—but the effects of
want of suffi-ient water in the proper
places and times was very observable in
the condition of the stock every spring,
and I have often heard the remark, “I
do not see why Blank’s cattle are so poor
as he always feeds them eoough.” Very
different from this was it at a neighbor’s
near by. At this farm a log aqueduct
carried spring water into a long trough
in the yard, where the water seldom
froze entirely over, so that the cattle,
whenever out io the yard, oould take a
drink of water any time, consequently
woul 1 never overdrink and be chilled
and curled up. I have often watched
the sheep, when taking their morning
or evening meal of hay, run every few
minutes to the water, drink a little, then
go back to the hay rack, eat a little,
then trot off to the water again ; and
the crowd at the water-tub was fully
equal to the crowd at the bar at one of
onr Pittsfield ffquor saloons, but not
quite so noipy. For milch cows in se„
vere weather, it is better to give water
with the chill off if possible, aud I al
ways notice a falling off in our milk
when the cows to drink ice-cold
water. I expect a considerable shrink
age now that they have to go so far and
then take ice-cold water. —Mirror and

When a grocer’s boy yesterday de*

“Well, where is it then ?”
“Tfiey probably counted wrong
ma’am.”
“Well I’ll go right back with you and

‘ I didn’t.eat that orange,” he began,
after a little reflection, “but I’ll tell you
how it was. Down here about two blocks
I saw an old chap out in his garden,
hat hanging on a plum tree as he sawed
at a limb. He was the bald-headedest
man I ever saw ma’am, and I’ve travel
