For the task bV God assigned mo.
For the bright hones left behind me,
And tho g'o?d that I can do.

And awaits my spirit, loo;
For the wrong that needs resistance,
'For the catisu that, lacks assistance,
For lhe future in the distance,
And tin' good that I ean do.
The Story oi a Trail.
She was a tall, stout individual and
sprang out of the wagon as lightly as
a spring chicken after a grass-hop
per, lie was a little, withered, dried
up weasel, and followed slowly, with
a basket of eggs. They entered one
of our stores and she asked :
"What nre j-ou givin' for eggs?"
??Eight cents," was the reply of the
'county jumper.
?'Well, here arc three dozen," said
' the fat party, "and I'll take it out in
"calico."
"But I want some yarn to mend
up my socks," put in the old man.
"The weather will soon be warm,"
replied the fat party, "and you can
then go without socks."
"But my boots hurt my feet," in
sisted the old man.
"Go barefooted," said she rather
sharply. Then turning to the clerk,
she changed her tone, and remarked :
'""Young man please count out the
' eggs and give me four yards of cali
co to match this 'ere dress."
"But-," the old man was going
to continue, when she raised her
huge index finger and said : "Henry
Winter Davis Spriggins, them 'ero
oggs nre mine; the hens what laid
'era are mine ; the corn what fed 'em
was mine, and I'se going to have a
trail on this ere dress as long as
Betsy Go wen's, if every toe on 3*011 r
foot turn into gumbilcs. Now, shut
'up ! aud you youngster, yank of that
'*cio calico, or you will hear a bum
ble bee a buzzin*."
The old man shut up, and the
clerk yanked off the calico,
Don't Get the Big Head.
Don't get too big for your breeches
.'just because you are a little prosper
'ous, and have a few more dollars
than some of your less fortunate
'neighbors. Many a man much bet
ter off than you are has come to his
wallet and staff. Before the war we
remember to have heard a then rich
?man say that he was never to work
in the field. That same man to-day
is (ploughing an ox and splitting
;rails. Facts?and, if we felt so dis
posed, could name him. Go slow on
your moonshine prospcrty and riches,
?for you may yet tumble. Don't get.
the big head, but take your prosperi
ty slow?you may get under the
?wculht r, and yet be glad to have
your poor neighbors recognize you.
A poor man i.^ just as good as a rich
one, if not helle!'?were it not lor
the poor people, this thing called a
world would soon be nothingness,
and the inhabitants would soon go
to the devil. The poor, not the
rich man, keeps this world moving.

How Not to Get Local News.
He came into our office, and after
paying his subscription, said :
"J guess you can slop sending my
paper, I've just subscribed for a pa
per 1 need more."
"Just so," we returned.
Ho pulled it out of his pocket and
banded it to us for inspection. It
was a Philadelphia publication, being
neatly printed, ornamented with a
handsomely engraved head, and con
taining about forty-eight columns of
reading matter.
"A very fair looking paper," said
We. "But my clear sir, do you find
much news concerning our county in
it?*
"Jso, he didn't know that he had
fonna any."
**Do you find any thing about our
State ?,r"
"No* lie never did."
And yet he needed that sheet much
more than he did his county paper.

What Farmers Succeed.
That farmer will succcd who makes
up his mind that tho whole Beeret of
success is in himself, that it is tho
man and not the business that tells.
He will succeed if lie brings to beur
the same amount of skill, forethought,
energy, economy and judgment, that
any other branch of business requires.
Ho will succeed if he sticks closo to
his farm, as the mechanic does to his
shop, and not expect to work three
or four months and then take his
case the rest of the year. Xhat larm
or will succeed who takes the papers
and digests what he reads, and is not.
afraid of new ideas and new methods
of industry. He will succeed if it is
Ids intention, that whatever he sends
to maiket shall bo the \ery best, and
so made and put up thai when seen
I it will be captivating for its freshness,
cleanliness and purify, and will be
S unheasitntingly taken on account of
his well known character lor honesty
I of weight, measure and count. Those'
who have farms may think themselves
fortunate, for although they will not
thereby find sudden roads to wealth,
they certainly prove that persistent
farm labor will bring a sure reward.
Il is worthy of notice, that the adven
turer and speculator, with blasted
hopes and shattered heulth and for
tune, have in the end to come back
to the farm for health and safety.
Agriculture is the basis of national
strength and wealth, and a most cer
tain and liberal support of all who
follow it intelligently.

What is the matter widt' the people
of Sumter, any how? If Mr. Charles
II. Moise i? reported correctly in his
testimonj' before the Teller Commit
tee the Stars and Stripes are not very
popular in the Game Cock County,
and by the time Mr. Charles O.
Moise's statement to this effect shall
have run through a half dozen of the
stalwart organs of the northwest, it
will have been made plain to the
mind of the world that the people of
Sumter Count}' stand sadly in need
of some more reconstruction. If Mr.
Charles H. Moi&e's statement is true
then are the people of Sumter very
stupid, and sadly in need of correc
tion. Each rod-shirled Democrat in
the county should be penned up and
fed on broiled American Eagles for
at least Bix months. The men should
be made to wear the uniform which
Brother Jonathun always wears in
the dime novels and on the stage ; I
and the ladies should all be forced to
dress a la Columbia, while the in
fants should be condemned to wear
penny bibs and tuckers, made of red,
white and blue, until after the}' arc
weaned. In fact, the people of Sum
ter should be put through such a
course of discipline that, at the mere
sight of a carpet-bag, every man, ?vo
rnan and child in the count}' would
rise up aud shout, until they arc
hoarse, for the old Hag?and an ap
propriation.?Su7i(?ay Times.
Well Kept Farms.
A well ordered farm, well chosen
stock, comfortable buildings, a neat
ly kept garden, toad way or entrance
way, ga'cs well hung, fences well
kepi, shade trees, ornamental shrub
bery, paint without and whitewash
within?all these arc worth more tu
a fanner in money value than a hun
dred dollars carefully scraped to
gether and jealously hoarded and
loaned to needy neighbors at inter
est. No investment pays so well as
money judiciously spent in fan
provomonls. Draining wet Ian.I
p iy 50 to 100 percent, on ilf cost
every year; good stock will pay
equally well, good roads will turn
their cost every year, a gate will
save its cost in ft short time, a good
fence may save its whole cost in one
night, a well-kept gnrden, a neal
lawn, orchard and shade trees, which
need not cost $100, have added ten
times that amount to tho value <d a]
Ian::, and the Comfort and sell'-re
spect gained through the outlay fov
these and from their possession are
worth more than the cost.
Blessings on him who invented
sleep?the mouth that covers all hu
man thoughts, the food that ap
peases hunger, the drink that
quenches thrist, the fire that warms
cold, the cold that moderates heal,
and, lastly, the general coin that
purchases all things, the balance and
weight that equals the shepherd with
the king, and the simple witli the
wise.
A witty Western editor, suffering \
from a depleted purse, copied in his
paper an account of an accident, in
which the man rescued from drown
ing related that, at the Moment of
sinking, he had a most vivid recollec
tion of every circumstance of inn life,
ami at the end of the paragraph
pointedly advises Ids Md scrilibra to
bathe in deep water.

HARD TIMES.
nPIIIS Is heard all over the land. Ever}' paper published is heralding the coming of an awful season. Wise Indeed be that
JL man who profits by the ominous and portentous signs that loom up in the Unknown future. Who heeds the distant
rumbling of the lar away, but rapidly approaching storm that will yor, like the relentless hurricane, sweep over the land.
But wiser far is be who has learned wisdom and experience from the bitter lessons of the long past-by paying more for tho
necessities of life than they are worth simply because they have been granted a little time. The lesson taught has been a
hard one, but still there is time to halt, and retrace you steps. Buy where you get tbe most goods for the least cash money.
Buy where you get thirty-six inches to the yard and sixteen ounces to the pound. Yes. Go beyond thin Golden Utile, and
buy where you can, with your hard and powerful cash, got two dollors worth of goods for one. This opportunity Is at last
given you. * Man, woman, child, whatever is wanted in your separate papartments call on us and we will furnish it far below
