The dry weather is beginning
to tell on the growing crops. In
some sections of the State, we
learn the crops are irretrievably
injured. In this immediate sec
tion, if rain comes soon, and in
sufficient quantity, disaster will
be averted. It is not always
easy to be quiet and self-possess
ed when the fields are thirsty,
and one^s best efforts seem to be
unavailing, but we counsel all to
truft in God. He is “The Lord
of the rain,” and will assuredly
do right.

One of the most encouraging
features of our educational system
is the Summer School, or Institute
or Convocation—whichever it may
be called—that is held in various
places and under difterent auspi
ces all over the country. It
shows a willingness on the part of
the teachers to be taughtj a hear
ty interest in their work, aud a
disposition when vacation comes
to use the leisure not in idle rec
reation, but in such employment
as will better qualify them to re
sume their work in the Tall.

Curran was once asked bow a
member of Parliament had spoken.
The answer was, “His speech was
a long parenthesis.’’ He u as asked
to explain. “Why,” said he,
‘don’t you know that a parenthe
sis is a paragraph which may be
omitted from beginning to end
without any loss ot meaning?”
“My case is just here,” said a
citizen to a lawyer, a few days
ago. “The plaintifi will swear
that I hit him, I will swear that I
did not. Now what can you law
yers make out of that if we go to
trial?” “Five dollars apiece,” was
the prompt reply as he extended
his hand.
“When are you going to make
me tiiat pair of new boots I order
ed?’’ asked Gus de Smith of his
shoemaker. “When you pay for
the last pair I made for you.”
‘Whew! I can’t wait so long as
that!”

Women do not suffer as much as
they used to in old times from

At an Irish league meeting in
N. Y. some one in the audience
moved that “no one should vote
who was not present.”
• On a street-oar, the other d ay,
several men were talking about
their children-^-how smart they
were, and so on. One gentlem;an
kept quiet until all the anecdotes
of the others had been related, and
then he told about his boy. The
little lad had been trying to peel
an orange with his thumb. With
great difficulty, the rind had been
takenjoff, but to remove the inner
lining, or film, without breaking
the pulp, was still harder. Final
ly, in vexation, the little fellow
cried out:
“Papa, what makes oranges
wear flannels?”
There is good sense in the Bal
timore American's suggestion that
it never could understand the ne
cessity for making school-books
dry. Picturesqueuess will not in
terfere with accuracy, nor grace
with terseness. The average
school-history is apt to be the
dreariest and dullest of produe-
tioas, and it is small wonder if a
clever and imaginative child feels
that the study is a painful task.
To teach is to make known. To
train is to make do. “Train up a
child,” etc. Many teach their
children who never train them—
that is, let Satan trjia them, and
then wonder why they do not gc
in the way they should.
HERE AND THERE A GEM.
What we ought not to do we
should not ever think of doing.
Write down the advice of him
who loves vou, though you like it
not at present.
Habits are soon assumed; but
when we strive
To strip them oft, ’tis being fla\ ed
alive.
Fortune lost, nothing lost; cour
age lost, much lost; honor lost
more lost; soul lost, all lost.
Wealth is like a viper, which is
harmless if a man knows how to
take hold of it; but if he does not,
it will twine round his baud aud
bite him.
There is a kind of honesty that
is nothing but fear, and a sort of
patience which is nothing but la
ziness.
Our young friend and
townsman, John W. Huya, jr.,
whose art sketches have been
so much admired in thi.« lo
cality, in the following extract
which we copy from a letter
of his to ihoNews and Observer,
gives evidence of skill in word
painting, not less than that
with which he uses pencil and
brush. It describes a valley
that he saw in the mountain
region of Western North Car
olina and East Tennessee:
“This little valley lies just over
the ‘line’ between the Iron and
Holston mountains. Were it in
Abyssinia we might well believe
it to have been the fabled home of
Rasselas. Closed in ou every
side with lofty mountains, which
but for a few clefts high up ou
their sides would be impassable,
it seems shut iu from the care aud
sorrow of the outside world. It is
called “Shady’’ since morn and
and evening the shadows of the tall
mountains fall across the whole
valley prolonging the freshness of
morning aud the dreamluesj of
evening and twilight. Yet no
where does the sun shine more
brightly than it shines in Shady,
and nature seems to rejoice more
in its few hours ot sunshine there
thau in whole days elsewhere, for
nestling snugly in the arms of the
encircling mountains the chilling
winds pass over it untouched.
Springs loves to nestle there when
the peaks around are covered with
ice and snow, and autumn lingers
there longest after the hillsides
are bleak and bare, ‘ Climbiug
slowly up the Holston mountains,
winding through rocky passes,
toiling over huge boulders aud
fallen trees, the debris of many a
mountain storm, suddenly the
wildness of the mountain is behind
us, and like a vision from old fairy
land the valley in all its loveliness
is spread at our feet. Have we

the valley the mists of the morn
ing hang like a bridal veil and
beautiful as a bride it blushes with
the first warm kiss of the rising
sun. The mountains around glow
with a mellon purple light, while
through the dark passes on the
east, the Blue Ridge may be seen
in the distance rising peak behind
peak aud range after range, grow
ing fainter and bluer till far a vay
the delicate tint of the bills is
blended and lost in the azure sky'^
It is tbe time of Indian summer,
the first light frost has touched
the highest peaks aud crowned
them as with a halo. The morning
breeze catches the yellow maple
leaves and whirls them away,away,
scattering them like flecks of gold
upon the meadows far beneath.
Down through the valley a moun
tain stream winds among green
meadows and groves of tall whit©
pine. There is something inspir
ing and life-giving in one of these
mountain streams, it is so fresh
and pure; it seems so full of life
and purpose that one cannot be
hold it without becoming imbued
with something of its spirit. It
has something to do that must be
doue, it must get to the sea. If
mountains are in the way they are
leveled; if valleys, they are filled.
It is in a hurry. It leaps fromi its
spring with an exclamation; it
seems to rejoice in the light and
the air and the sunshine; it feels
young and fresh and strong, and
starts on its journey with a skip
and a bound, rejoicing in the very
exuberance of health aud spirits.
Away it goes laughing down the
mountain side, rushing, roaring,
tearing over rocks, gro *'ling at
fallen logs, bounding into cascades,
gleaming and sparkling in the sun
light, foaming, sputtering, fuming,
scolding at obstacles, wrenching
them oft' but to show its might,
whirling into eddies, gathering
strength, then onward again—
hurrying, hurrying, always hurry
ing on to the sea The sleekest
cattle are browsing along its banks,
and here and there it washes the
do^r ot comfortable farm houses,
the homes of comfort and content
ment, where the stranger may find
rest, aud hospitality is dealt out
with no grudging hand.”
Case of Dr. J. A. Hanhj, of Patrick C. H., Va., stated hy himself:
“For four years I was afflicted with Rheumatic Gout to an exteue M'hicli in
capacitated me entirely for the discharge of the duties of ray profession, and
was finally reduced to such a condition as to subject me for the most part to
confluement to my bed. By the advice of one of my mcdica] attendants, aiul
emphatically as a dernier resort, I determined to make use of the Buffalo Llthia
Water, Spring No. 2,1 am frank to say without faith in its virtues, havino' but
little confidence in mineral waters. The use, iiowever, of a few cases of the
water was attended bybeuefici.al results, so remark.aUle, tluit I was soon able to
be out of bed and upon my feet, and my improvement lias continued until I am
now actively engaged in the practice of my profession, meeting without any
unuaual inconvenience all the exposure and hardship incident to the life of a
mouiitalu country. I cannot, in caiiubi', do otherwise than ascribe my recovery
solely to this water, the value of which 1 regard as beyond estimation.” '
Dyspepsia, with Suppression of the M ostsual Flow, Hypoclioudriasis, &e.
Case of Miss , stated hy Dr. W-ni. B. Towles, University of Virginia,
Member Medical Society of Virginia:
“I was consulted as to the’ use of the Buffalo Lithia Water iu the case of Miss
. She was suffering from a distressing form of Dyspepsia, of some two
years’ duration, pale, greatly eniaciated, and weighing only sixty-seven pounds.
There was want of appetite, acid eructations, gastric pain after ingestion of al
most any article of diet, uausea (the food often rejected by voinitino’) consump
tion, ex reme langor, Hypochondriasis, etc. In addition to Dyspeptic symii-
toms there had been total suppression of the Menstrual Flow for twelve months
She was put upon the water and directions given as to her diet. For a mouth
perhaps, there was no perceptible eliungo iu her condition for the better Af
terwards, however, improvemect was decided, rapid aud continuous, and in
another month she was free from Dyspepiia, the Menstrual Flow had been re
established, and she left the Springs weighing 108 paunds and fully restored
to health.”
These Springs are Now Open for Guests.
