Sat Loveyrood at m Candy PuIUaf.
I had a heaD of trouble last Christmas,
and I'll tell you How it hapjiened. Ie
ken Jone's pal give a candy pullm. and
1 got a etool, as they say in JNortn ivar
lina, an' bo over I goes. Sister poll
and rue went together, and when we got
to old man Joneses, the house was cnuci:
full. Dog my eats ef thar waa room to
round. . .... Jf
Thar was Sure narkins. shew as bij?
as a skinned hoss, and six other Ilarkses,
and all the Scroctrin.ses. and Williamses,
and Simmonses, and Pedigraws, and the
school master and his gal, besides the
old Deken and the Dekene, and enough
littie Dekenses to set un a half-a-dozen
younc folks in the famili bizness.
Well, bimeby the pot begun to bile,
and then the fun begun. We all got
our plate ready, and put flour on our
hands to keep the candy irom sticken ,
and then we pitched into pullin'. Wos
en't it fun? I never saw such laffin' and
cuttm up in all mv born daze. 1 male
a candy bird for Em. Simmens. 4IIer
and me expecks to trot in double har
ness one of these daze. She made a can
dy poose for me.
Ihen we got to throwin candy bans
into one another's hair, and a running
from one side to the tohcr, and out intu
the the kitchen, till everything on the
place was all gummed up with candy.
I got on a pine bench, and Em. Simmons
sot close to me.
Suze Harkins, confound her plotter,
throw'd a candy ball sock intu one of mi
ize. I made a ' bulge to run ater her,
and heard somethin' rip. My stars
alive 1 Wozen't I uickled? I looked
around, and thar was the gable end of
my bran new britches a sticken to the
pine bench. I backed up agin the wall,
sortir crawfish-like, and grinned.
' Sut," sez sister Poll, "what's the
matter?" .
"Shut up !" sez I.
"Sut," sez hoi, "you just come away
from that wall, you'll get all over greasy. "
"Let her grease !" sez I, and sot down
on a washboard, that was lying across a
tub. feelin. worse than an old maid at a
weddin.' Purtv soon I felt somethin'
hurt, find pufty soon it hart again. Ice
whiz ! I jumped ten feet hi, kickid
over the tub, out flew old Joneses
Christinas turkey: and you ought to
seed me cit.
I cut for tall timber now, juinpt
staked ridered fences and smashed down
bruh like a runaway herekin, till I got
home, and went to bed and stade there
two daze.
Ef old Ieken Joneses barn burns
down next winter, and I'm arrested for it,
and envbodv Dears as a witness agin me,
l'le Lust his doff-con'd hed! Them's
my sentiments. Sct LoVENOOOD.
Farmers Home.
This subject, although at first thought
it may appear a hackneyed one, is so lin
Dortant that it can never become unin
teresting to the farmer. The man who
is simply a money-maker, who regards
his fields, his horses, his cattle, hi8 chil
dren and his wile a so many machines
bv means of which he is to grind out the
greatest possible number of dollars every
year is not a fanner in the true sense of
the term ; even a mere pettifoger is not
a lawyer, though he may much desire to
be so called. As members of the nu-Jic-al
and legal professions disown and ex
pel from their rank the ignorant pre
tenders, nT unprincipled quackj who else
would bring disgrace uiion their calling,
so we read out the great party of plow-
lolders, (a clas we ho'd t lie far more
poweiful and important than that of the
xHidholdcrs) all who make money-get
ting alone the object of their exertions
and the acme of their ambition.
rsot to the mere monev-cetter, then.
should we talk of farmers' homes, but to
those who wish to improve the faculties
given them by their Creator lor that
purpose ; those who would make home
iilace ot happiness, and the hreside
the abode of love. To such we say, do
not he afraid of doing too much to ren
der home pleasant. Iet beautiful pic
tures hang upon its walls; let good
books, plentifully supplied, invite the
attention of the young ; and, if possible,
let the charm of music fling its magic
spell over all, that the tempted youth,
when the pilded allurements of folly
would attract his gaze, may ever turn to
home as the brightest cheeriest place on
earth. Moore's Rural New Yorker.
Within a few days past three journals
in Washington have given up the ghost,
as was most fitting. Two of them were
run as Democratic organs, and one was
the mouthpiece of an organization
dubbed the "Hoys in Blue." These
three publication. were not newspapers,
since thev never published any news;
nor did they mould public opinion, since
they were but vehicles of communication
between their few readers and a handful
of ofuce-holders or obscure politicians.
Their death teaches afresh the lesson
that the day of merely partisan journal
ism is past; that the requisites lor the
success of a newspaper are its ability to
collect and print all the news of tho day,
and its entire independence of politicians.
It may advocate the principles of one
party in preference to those of another,
but it must maintain its independence
nrst, last and always, lhe people have
become sick of "organs ;" they will tol
erate only nncupopers in which they
aro sound. A. X. World.
A sailor, while explaining the third
figure 01 a quadrille to his messmate,
thus describes it
You first heave

sary's yard-arm, regain your berth on

your station with vour partner In line,
back and fill, and then fall on your keel.
and bring up with your partner; she

her.until nearly astern of the other lino,
make a stern board, cast her off to shift
for herself, regain your place the best
way you can, and let go your anchor.
We cordially endorse the following

We wish the journalists of the West
would unite in an humble memorial to
the Associated Press respectfully, show
insr:
1 Wc don't care whether Mary Walk

2 We don't care whether Mr. How
ard gets to China or not.
A we don t believe Mr. 3ic.Man.0n is

and don't want to hear anything from
him.

If the thousands of men who own
small farms in the East, and the me
chanic and day-labort-rs who have hard
work to make an honest livelihood, only
knew of the large tracts of fertile lands
awaiting occupancy in this section 01 the
country, it soems as though they would
not hesitate a moment in deciding to
come her. Now 15 the golden oppor
tunity. Lands are cheap. The crops
under the refreshing rain and genial
warmth of thi3 splendid climate are rap
idly maturing and promise the most
abundant harvests, it does not require

Many farmers are bragging of their
fine wheat and oats crops. But on the
other hand, many others complain that
the wheat is ahuo.-t a failure some say
that theirs will not pay for cutting. A
sort of blight seems to have affected a
great deal of the spring wheat.
The heads contain shrivelled, half
filled grains, or no grains at a!L Some
entertain the theory that the heavy rains
while the wheat was in blossom damaged
it so that it could not form ciain.
Jerry Neiblinr showed us a bunch of
wheat stalks from his field, measuring
5 feet 8 inches in height, the heads avoII
filled and the grain hard and plump. It
was the China Tea AY heat.
We learn that ono of the best fields of
wheat ever grown in this county was cut
on a farm belonging to Jackson Beeler,
a few miles southwest of here.
George W. Lindley, living several
miles west of town, thinks- he has the
brag crop. His spring wheat (China
Tea) stands about 5 feet 6 inches in
height, and the men who cut it think it
will average 3. bu-dV-ls to the acre. He
estimates the average at 30 to 33 bushel?
per acre. His oats, he thinks, will turn
out 75 bushels to the acre. His corn is
still growing. A"".s.7.s Chief.

From the signs of the times, the move
ment set on foot in Chicago meant some
thing more than a mere blowing off of
iras, or else a den of lunatics have sud
denly been liberated and scattered
throughout the country. At least, since
that time, we find men in different parts
of the country zealously pitching into
secret societies and challenging the world
to combat. It looks as if an effort were
to be made to organize another Anti
Masonic party.
We notice one peculiarity about this
movement. The persons engaged are
generally preachers, and in most eases
claim to have once belonged to the Ma
sons. One over in Missouri Avrites him
self a Mason of the 32d Degree. One
down in Kansas calls himself a Seceding
Mason. If the truth were known, it
would paobably appear that most of these
men had been kicked out of Masonic or
Odd Fellow Lodges for villainy, and are
now seeking revenue, and cloaking their
rascality under the ministerial garb.
V hen a man deliberately sets about ex-
Dosme secrets which he took a solemn
oath not to reveal, he proclaims himself
a scoundrel, and even those who are
honestly opposed to secret orders have
no confidence iu him. They have no
assurance that he is not deceiving them,
and secretly despise him for his mean
ness. In some orders, a monthly statement
i9 sent to all the Lodges of persons who
have been expelled, giving the reasons.
We renieinber that olie of the reports, a
few years ago, contained the name of a
Ereacher, who had been expelled lor
aving sexual intercourse with his own
daughter. If still living, we have no
doubt that man is now engaged in de
claiming against the sins of secret socie
ties, and that his sayings are duly re
corded iu the organ of unrestrained luna
tics, published at Lhicasro. called the
