^tumorous Department. WANTED A FARM. A real estate agent was waited on yesterday by a tall man with a weed on bis hat, who said he had the cash to pay for a farm, provided he could get one to suit. The agent smiled him to a seat, and brought out his regular descriptions. He had several farms registered on his books, and he had no doubt that he could suit the would-be purchaser. The stranger remarked : "What I want is a farm of about three hundred acres." "I've got it," replied the dealer. "I'd like about six big hills on it." "Here she is?here's a farm with exactly six hills on it." "And I'd like a lake near the centre." "Here you are. Here's a farm with a lake . exactly in the centre." "And I want a big natural cavern in one of the hills." mi t it!. "Here you are. inere s a cave ou iais farm which can't be beat." The stranger drew his breath, and went on : "I want a farm of three hundred acres, but one hundred acres must be marsh land." "Here she is," was the ready reply. "Just three hundred acres in the farm, and just one hundred in marsh land." "I must have a waterfall twenty-six feet high on the farm," continued the stranger. "Here you are. This farm has a natural waterfall of twenty-five feet and eleven inches. I don't suppose an inch, more or less, on a waterfall amounts to much ?" "Well, no, but I want a windmill on one of the hills." "That was put up last year," was the calm reply. It was some time before the stranger thought of any thing else, but he finally said: "There must be a Baptist church right across the road from the house." "One built there last summer, sir." "It must be a brick church." "So it is." "Has it an organ ?" "It has." "Then I can't buy the farm of you," said the stranger, rising to go. "If there's any thing^I hate it is a church organ, and yott can see for yourself that I would be in a state ?of.continual misery. The farm suits me first rate, but I can't go that organ." Just what estimate those two men placed upon each other's veracity as they separated will never be known. Quality Extraordinary.?"Doctor," said a Yankee farmer, entering the store of the village apothecary, "that ere ratsbane of youm is fustrate." "Ah, certainly?I knew it," returned the vender of drugs, greatly pleased, "don't keep nothing but pure things here." "Sartin," replied the husbandman, with a twinkling nod, "and, doctor, I guess I'll have another pound of it." "Another pound!" "Yaas; I gin that pound that I got last week to a pesky old rat that worried me awfully, and I tell ye it made him about the sickest critter ye ever see. And I kind o'reckon bow't another pound might kill him." About on par with this is the complaint of a man who bought a keg of powder for blasting purposes. "Say, Squire," said the individual in question, entering the store where he had bought the powder, "d'ye know that powder of yours is risky stuff to handle ?" "Risky ?" repated the storekeeper, not quite comprehending. "Yaas?kind o'dangerous." "Ah, you refer to its intense explosive qualities." "Explosive qualities! I don't know nothin' about that, but it is the all firedest stuff to burn. Why, that ere keg caught fire accidentally, and I'm blamed if the powder didn't burn half up afore we could put it out!" The Wrong Smith.?A man once received thirty lashes, well laid on, at the whipping post in an English town. The culprit, instead of bellowing, when the constable applied tne lash, laughed immoderately, which made the angry officer lay on with severer force. On giving him his thirtieth blow, the angry officer could stand it no longer. "Well, look here, mister," said the offended officer, "I've done my duty, and I can lick ye no more : but I would just like to know what it is that is so very funny ?" "Funny!" roared the other. "Why, it's excellent. You've got the wrong Smith! I ain't the man that was to be whipped?it's the other one! Now, you'll have to do it all over again! Really, it's too good ! You must lick the other man! Ha, ba!" His Coming Okoi\?No one might have been the wiser if he hadn't stubbed his toe on the street yesterday, and sat down on the curbstone to cry about it. No one with any heart in him can pass a grieving boy without making an attempt to console him. Little Tom wiped the tears away, scanned the nickel placed in his hand, and a faint smile crossed his face as he said: "Thankee, sir, and, sir, do you know how long it takes canary seed to grow into birds When asked to explain, he said that he planted five cents' worth in the back yard over a month ago, and he didn't see why the canary birds didn't sprout up if they were ever goiDg to. He bad faith, and who would have been mean enough to destroy it ? Perhaps Not.?The other eveping a carriage had to come to a dead halt to prevent running over a child three or four years old, who was seated in the centre of the street. "Is that your child?" asked the driver, of a man who lounged forward and beckoned to the dust-covered offspring. "Guess he is," was the slowly-spoken answer. "Aren't you afraid he'll be run over some day?" "He may be. His brother was run over last year about this time, and the folks made up a purse of a hundred dollars for me!" Perhaps the memory of that purse bad ?? j. -:.L .i .i nomiDg 10 UO WllU me uiuci uunu uoiug iu the road. ? ? What Paul Said.?A poor curate sent his servant to a chandler's shop, kept by one Paul, for bacon and eggs for his Sunday dinner, on credit. This being refused, the damsel, as she had nothing to cook, thought she might as well go to church, and entered as her master, in the midst of his discourse, referring to the apostle, repeated, "What says Paul?" The good woman, supposing the question addressed to her, answered, "Paul says, sir, that he'll give you no more trust till you pay your old score." I?- Thirty years ago, a young man entered the city of New York, in an almost penniless condition, and without a single acquaintance in the great wilderness of bouses. To-day his name is known wherever humanity dwells. It is spoken in every hamlet, is heard in every city, and is as familiar to the worker in the mines as bis brother in the mills, and where language is known and ideas expressed, the name of this penniless, unknown and uncouth lad of thirty years ago, is uttered. It was John Smith. ? ? ? A Frenchman was annoyed by an impertinent fellow, who ridiculed him by imitating his imperfect manner of speaking the English language. After patiently listening to him for some time, the Frenchman coolly replied? "My fine friend, yon van do veil to stop now, for if Samson had made no better use of. de jaw-bone of an ass dan yon do, he would j never have killed so many Fillistians." Two young men, out riding, were passing a farm house where a farmer was trying to harness an obstinate mule. "Won't he draw ?" said one of the men. "Of course," said the farmer, "he'll draw the attention of every fool that passes this way." The young I men drove on. 1 grading fat the Jtahhath. CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. CHRIST WITHIN.

If he abide in Christ he sinneth not, but if : U ? Kama u'n flkiJln/v rvlann or* KaM I* or Q rid V I ue 1COYC Li to #u.u.u6 ..X,? J, . he siQ8?in theooe case he is whole, cured of [ all his plague, filled with the riches of the king's palace. In the other he is sick, sick in every part of him, and ready to perish. There is a hidiug in Christ, when the outward appearance is that of activity, and business and concern about others. When with deep simplicity, by a thorough j consecration to Him, you rest on Him to do 1 his work within you, you shall find that He works like a God. Rest assured that the only means of holiness is Christ. Not means, not exertions, not growth, but Christ, and Christ alone. Give Him the control of your heart and of your powers, and see how he shall fill every avenue with himself. He will do his work sweetly. He will save you to the uttermost. | You may even wonder what kind of a bless- j ing he has given yon. You will know a precious sense of loneness with Jesus himself; a full disposition to let Jesus have the control I of you in all things. You will be convinced of a life within, which shall often call out a delightful surprise. Though you will be far from doing the living, yet you will say, "I do lina > *raf nnt T kllf. Plhriat: livflth in m<? " The Christ within shall surprise you in all the fruits of the Spirit, and you shall be a wonder to yourself. Precious Jesus, thus to assure us of the pleasure he takes with us in the feast of His own love! Precious Jesus, thus to supply the heart, to sit in it, to love what is garnished by His grace. . + + Thb Prater of Faith is Sure of an Answer.?A true faith, the moment it is born in the heart, expresses itself in the form of prayer. It is just as natural for a newborn faith to pray as it is for a new-born infant to cry. And Christ Jesus bears the 6rst and feeblest cry of faith with more joy and readiness to help, than any mother ever heard the first and faintest cry of her new-born infant. No petitioner, who came in faith, was ever turned away from Christ unblest. So far as we know, there was but one prayer offered to him, while he -was upon earth, that he did not graut. That was the prayer of the mother of Zebedee's children, asking for her sons that they might sit, the one on the right and the other on the left hand of Jesus, in his kingdom. That was not the prayer of humility and faith, but the petition of a mother's pride and ambition, asking for her sons she knew not what. And even she was not turned away unblest, for in denying her request, he stripped her heart of the pride and ambition that prompted her petition, and sent her away with the blessing of a better spirit in which to pray the next time. Jesus has not promised always to give the very thing for which we ask ; but if he withholds it, he will give the better thing for which we ought to have asked. Pray in faith, and you mav be Bure of an answer: but if vou. in your ignorance, ask for a stone, he will, in his goodness, give you bread.?J. M. P. Otis. No Burdens.?There is a gateway at the entrance of a narrow passage in London, over which is written, "No burdens allowed to pass through." "And yet we do pass constantly with ours," said one friend to another, as they turned up this passage out of a more frequented and broader thoroughfare. They carried no visible burdens, but they were like many who, although they had no outward pack upon their shoulders, often stoop inwardly beneath the pressure of a heavy load upon the heart. The worst burdens are those which never meet the eye. There is another gate?one which we are invited to enter, must enter, if we would ever attain to rest and peace, and over which is also inscribed, "No burdens allowed to pass through." This is the straight gate which leads to life; and by it stands One who opened the narrow way to which it leads, saying to each one of us, "Come unto me, all that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest." -+ ? Superiority of Christ.?Everything in Christ astonishes me. His Spirit overawes me, and his will confounds me. His ideas and his sentiments, the truth whioh he announces, his manner of convincing, are not explained either by human observation or the nature of things. His birth and the history of his life; the profundity of his doctrine, which grapples the mightiest difficulties, and which is of those difficulties the most admirable solution; his gospel ; his apparition; his empire; his march across the ages and the realms?everything for me is a prodigy, a mystery insoluble, which plunges me into a revery from which I can not escape; a mystery which I can neither deny nor explain. Here I see nothing human. The nearer I approach the more carefully I examine. Everything is above me. Everything remains grand ; of grandeur which overpowers me. His religion is a revelation from an intelligence which certainly is not that of man. ? + ?? Fervent Prayer.?The river that runs slow, and creeps by the banks, and begs leave of every tuft of grass to let it pass, is drawn into little hollows, and spreads itself in smaller portions, and dies with diversion ; but when it runs with vigorousness and a full stream, and breaks down every obstacle, making it even as its brow, it stays not to be tempted with little avocations and to creep into the sea, but pours through full and useful channels. So is a man's prayer; if he moves upon the feet of an abated appetite, it % M il i _!il! wanders into tne society or every inning accident and stays at the feet of fancy and talks with every object it meets, and can not arrive at heaven; but when it is carried upon the wings of passion and strong desire, a swift motion and a hungry appetite, it passes on through all the intermediate region of clouds, and stays not until it dwells at the foot of the throne, where mercy sits, and thence sends holy showers of refreshment. Wren xo Prepare.?Prepare to die while you are in health. It is an ill time to caulk the ship when at sea, tumbling up and down in a storm ; this should have been looked to when she wag in port. And bad it is to begin and trim a soul for heaven when tos?I?~ a oinlr Karl rTViinc*o that are rlnno in OlUg v/u a oiva m.w ?u a hurry are seldom done well. Those poor creatures, I fear, go in an ill dress into another world who begin to provide for it when they are dying; conscience calls them up with a cry of helhfire in their bosoms; but alas I they must go, though they have not time to put on proper clothes; and so they repent at leisure in hell of their shuffling, hasty repentance here.?

"Proof of the pudding is chewing the bag," is a vulgarism that is often used with mueh point, but we don't know anywhere that it can be more apropos than in its application to arguments for and against a fence law. And as we have heretofore presented both sides of this question, we publish the following extracts as a bit of experience in that aforesaid bag-chewing: The Charlotte, North Carolina, Democrat gives the following account of the no fence law in four districts of that (Mecklenburg) county: "The law went iuto effect March, 1875, when the people were busy preparing to plaut the present crop. Nearly all succeeded in getting sufficient pasture fenced for the stock kept on the premises. "The law works admirably. The thought of never again having to scratch our hands with briars and thorns, aud tangle our feet with grape vines, while mending our old dilapidated fences, is too good to entertain one moment without almost snouting ror joy. While those who work on the old plan of fencing up their fields will be busy in winter making rails, hauling and building them on their crazy fences, we will be busy cleaning up our rich fence rows for a luxuriant crop another year. And while they are paying out their money for these repairs, we are spending the same in compost heaps, clover lots, rye lots, and fall and winter ploughing. "Instead of being a disadvantage to croppers it has proved the very reverse. The land owner sees that it is to his advantage to provide his croppers with a sufficient amount of pasture for all their stock. If, however, any one should fail to do this, his more just and wise neighbor will have the refusal of his hands. "When this law first went into effect, many of the freedmen threatened to leave the township ; but they are here yet, and until it is clearly shown that the negro has an unconquerable desire to maul, haul and build rails, we think he will very likely remain where he is. Nearly all the trouble we had was on the line. Some said the fence would he burned down ; others that it would be thrown down and not allowed to stand, but, so far as we know, not a single trespass on it has been made. Outsiders kept up the fence to save their stock from the penalties of the law. Insiders kept it up to save their crops from the depredations of outside stock. "Many persons feared that, in fencing up pasture, country roads would be obstructed by gates; but, on the contrary, it almost totally annihilated the gate system. No wise man will make his pasture on both sides of the road, knowing that the first careless traveller may cause his stock to run at large on his own farm. "Uountry roads can De so arranged, Dy me generosity of land owners, as to shorten the former routes of travel at least one-third. When a farmer wishes to drive his wagon over his own premises he is not troubled with the old system of laying down and putting up fences. By cutting a few bushes along some of those places we call glades (which before were not worth fencing up), he can mow loads of hay. Hundreds of acres can now be cultivated, which before could not be profitably fenced. A poor man can now buy a piece of land and live comfortably upon it, although there may not be a rail tree upon it." In reproducing the above, the Washington (Georgia) Gazette, adds the following, which is well and wisely written : "Like all just and good laws, the no fence law would be of as great, if not greater advantage to the poor man than to the rich. There are many laws which, upon first sight, seem to bear bard upon the poor man, which, upon trial, are shown to be very greatly to his advantage. There are others which seem to be peculiarly adapted to thfijnterpflt.s of the poor man as against the rich, which, upon trial, are found to work against all the interests of the poor. Such is always the case with unjust laws. Any unequal, unjust legislation injures the poor man far more than the rich. The man of means can live under bad laws on account of his wealth. He can take care of himself despite the bad laws. But it is not so with the man of small means. He needs everything for his support, and if the laws are hard he suffers. So it is with the present fence law. The poor people of the country have an idea that it is a great protection to them, while, on the contrary, it is one of the greatest burthens they have to bear. Relieve them of the expense, labor, and waste aP in IrAnnmrv nn f Kni r* fnnnflo q nrl flint? UI bllUO 1u Awpiug uj/ yuuu i?uuwo muu viivj would be saved a great deal and be enabled to make much more than they now do. The rich man can far better afford to keep up his miles of fences than the poor man can to keep up his few and short lines. "The repeal oP the present fence law in those counties of Georgia suited for agriculture, and not especially adapted to grazing and the raising of cattle, would be one of the greatest blessings that could be brought upon this section of Georgia, and all the people, in twelve months, would recognize it as such. The relief it would bring would be incalculable. The time it would save to each farmer, which could be devoted to the culture of the crop, would be of great value, the money it would save would go far towards the support of the family, and the labor put forth to repair old fences and to build new ones, could be far more profitably expended in preparing the ground more thoroughly for the crop, and the timber it would save, would, in a few years, be a handsome little fortune to the owner." MAKING HIS WAY. The farmer must make his way, if he makes it at all, by hard blows and constant effort. He must work, think, plan, unceasingly, He tioo nnim, a flow nf ifllo time nr fKoro ia nrnur a day in which he may not find something to do. There are times, it is true, when work pushes more than at others, for seasons will uot wait; and there are times when the present crop does not need attention, and a period of comparative leisure intervenes. But the farmer that would succeed, must take time by the forelock aud be constantly preparing for future crops. He must now be planning better drainage aud fences, and now seeking muck and marl for the compost heap. When 1 crops are ripening, he must note the finest parts, that he may save seeds that may be depended upon. When destructive insects 1 * i? ? i 1 J appear, ne mum ut) uu imun iu ucvibc ujcaua i to stay their ravages. During the intervals of summer work, when streams are low, he must drag out muck from the swamps. He must cut his timber for building and fencing i at the proper season to prevent early decay and the attapks of the worm. He may not toil laboriously, but he must be ever at it j in fact there is no occasion to work hard if ( he will be diligent. It is those who are often from their work that are ever behind hand. The steady plodder, though he moves slow- ' ly, makes sure progress. It is not the heavy, i so much as the constant strokes that topple the oaks. You recollect the story of the tor- ' toise and the hare. The moral is especially applicable to the farming class. The slow progress and small gains of agriculture are iimarl a o or* nKiootinn fn fko nnronif nf I . V/ItCli U1 UU UU VUjWVtVM vv vuu j/uiwuav iyj, | it. On the contrary, it is its greatest safeguard. Short roads to fortune are full of i danger. Many a man attempting them has ; i been dragged down to jnfaray and shame.!' There is safety in the broad road of the dili-' j gent worker, but it takes a sober head and a strong nerve to thread successfully the dangerous "short cuts." Few men are capacita-I, ted, mentally or physically, for the task. The j prudent farmer, wishing to live at peace with himself and his fellow-men, will flee the fe-1 ver-heated atmosphere of those short ways,; and cling tenaciously to the old rules of his fathers, makipg his way steadily by the un- . failing wisdom of the pa9t. He will compare 1 and weigh measures and plans, study causes and effects, view cautiously the new innova- | V ! iions, and calculate their tendency by the j , calcium light of experience. Thus the plodding farmer makes his way on* ward slowly but surely; occasionally he may go out of the way to test a promising idea, but never staying so long as to endanger his safety, or prevent an easy return. He toils early and late, in season and out of season, but does not overwork. By a little here and a little there, he is ever making his way to a solid competency.?B. W. J., in Christian Observer.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER is now in its twenty-second volume, and is a large twentyeight column newspaper, handsomely printed or clear, legible type, aud devoted to the Political Social, Agricultural and Commercial Interests op the South. We are enabled to promise Increased attractions in all the different departments of the paper, conspicuous among thenn being the SERIAL STORIES, written expressly for its columns. As a non-partisan, independent family newspaper, the future editorial conduct of the Enquiref can be as well judged by the past as by any promise which we might now feel disposed to make, An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper business?of which time at least one-half hat been unremittingly devoted to the management of the Enquirer?fully convinces the proprietor Al- -A L" noaun?{n? nAnlkaI a! bliUt tUO jpiilll MU iHIUpluu l/ti noouiiuug wuvivi vri the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in th present day. The true mission of the newspaper is to place before the public facts as they may exist, unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives; and the propriety of this course is fully attested, not only by the success of the Enquirer, which can truthfully claim thelargestcirculation of any country newspaper in the South, but also by many other of the most popular and widely circulated papers of the day. The course thus indicated we shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Circle, and acceptable alike to all classes of readers. Hence, the news department of the Enquirer, whether of matters at home or abroad?political or otherw ise?will be cond ucted with the utmost care, and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented, free from sectional or party bias. LITERARY DEPARTMENT. The original Serial Stories are an attractive feature of tlie paper, being from the pens of the most sprightly and entertaining story writers ol the day, and abound with dramatic plot and stirring incident.
