Soon after the war I. managed to get another and for more than twenty years it has stood the wear and tear of 120 fingers of our household and all sorts of m'icellaneous banging from my own morning harmonies that were intended to arouse Mrs. Arpi from her slumbers so that I wouldn't perish before breakfast, but which were never . appreciated as kindly as they deserved. Twenty years of banging had pretty well knocked all the music out of this j one. The moths had eaten up Ithe leath ers hew strings had been sub stituted for broken; ones and the iron pegs had lost the grip aud the strings wouldn't stay ia tune a week at a time.

It shall not fade and die with the flowers, nor grow weary with age." Many years atro a sniait scholar wrote a hook to prove that a negro hail no soul, but to my opinion, his passion for music is argument enough to give him an equal chance for heav eu. Blind .lorn is almost an idiot, but when his clouded and untutored mind is filled with music that is beyond my ken I feel humbled in his presence. Blind and childish and igno rant, he seems at times almost among the angels in his rhapso dies. When Ilaydon was old and feeble he was carried to the great ball in Vieuna to hear Beethoven and other great composers perform the '"Creation," whicn was his own greatest work; and as the vast audience aroe to cheer the grand finale the old man waved hi handkerchief toward heav en and exclaimed: "It came from there it came from there!" . He then spread out his bauds and, blessed the audi ence, and this was his farewell to the world. The uext week he died. Mozart composed his own re quiem on his death-bed, and his great soul escaped to heav en on a strain of music that no one heard but him.

It alike become the wedding and the funeral, the church and the theatre, the banquet hall and the cottage fireside. How the great poets loved to honor it with their best devotions. Shaksneare says that "the man that has nb music in himself is fit for trea son let no such man be trust ed." Byron says "there is mu sic in all things if men ha (1 ears." Collins calls music It "heavenly maid." and Longfel low says "the night shall be filled with music." I was ruminating about these things because there was a new piano in the house and my wife was caressing the beautifut keys with the exquisite touch of her girlhoods She played floiae of the same old tunes what used to charm me when nelt at her shrine and verily ueneveu mat Dotn the song ana finger came from above, jr. ..... mm i, inn, was a little nearer heaven than I ever had been before. She won't trust her lull voice now for fear it will split or get away without a hridle, but she lets it warble aiong low and sweet so as to mingle and hide with the music hver and anon I catch the ten aer pathos of "The Emigrant's lament," or "When You and I Were Young Maggidf," or "The Jia l,og Labin in thfe Lane."- sometimes is the 4 Meeting of -the Waters," or "Sweet May i a y," or " Kdei.boro Town," or - coming iiirough ijhe Bye." ;ur gina are good performers uut iney nave not got the soft aweec, angelic touch of their toother. When she is playing I can tell it away out in the DacKyara. before the war we had aui- ano. Before Rome fell and our unwilling flight, from the eternal city, we shipped that piano to Madison for safety, aj)d it arrived there just in time, for Stonemona raiders to bum it in the depot. I have often wondered how much re ligion a woman must have to soon as I was able, derstood to mean Tight now immediately, if not before. The other day I talked about buying a little scrap of land joined me, and Mrs. Arp looked sideways towards the piano and remarked she thought we had land enough. A; few days ago I-took off .the lid and be gan my usual j operations with the tuning key when; one of the girls came in and sighed, and said she didn't think my last tuning did any good. Her mother came gliding in and said she believed that I made it worse every time, and that it sounded like an oldftin parr. What was very strange to me the door bell rung about that identical time, aifd sure enough my friend, Mr. Fieyer, of At lanta, came in and; looked at me with sympathetic, pity, and soon he began to talk low and soft and sweet about his beau tiful pianos his '.'Chronic and Back," as he called .thern, and how nicely one of them would set off the newly papered walls and the-pretty curtatns and the portierre and what ' wonderful capacity our children had for music, and -how they took it all from their mother, and how nearly all of the best people of Atlanta had bought -from him, j and he named oVer -governors, judges, editors and whole lot of rich people, and said he would sell us a seven hundred dollar piano for four hundred aud take the old one; for a hun dred dollars and he talked low and sweet like he was making a special bargain and afraid somebody outside would hear him and so in about fifteen minutes he had captured the whole family and I surrendered on parole without arms or am unition. Of course-; I did.

What is this "nervdus trouble" with wLich so many Reeni now to iimictea? If you will Iremember a ew years ago the word Malaria was comparatively unknown, to-day it ia as common as any 'word in the LDglish language yet tjuis word cov ers only- the meaning 6f another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grand fathers called Billiousiess, and all are causeu oy troubles tbat arise It seems to us that the far mers of North Carolina are at last realizing the folly of de pending exclusively upon the use of commercial fertilizers in the cultivation of their crops. We see from our exchanges that the farmers in: their respective localities have purchased less of thjose fertilizers this year than heretofore,, some of them none, having determined to turn their attention to home made manures instead. There is sense in this determination, although it is made at a late day. Better late than never. Just at this time, when the notes given for the purchase of these commercial feitilizers are falling due, our farmers can re alize, more keenly than at any other time, the folly of buying largely of what they might have had with less expense to themselves. We lay down this proposi tion and feel sure no one will contradict it. If; the farmers of North Carolina had spent one-half the money in the pro duction of home-made manure that they have paid for import ed fertilizers: their farms would be in much better oondi- tion to-day than they are and they would have more money to show ' for the labor they have done. We do not object altogether to commercial fer tilizers, they are good enough judiciously used, and judicious ly used means usea in connec tion with and not as a substi tute for home-made manures, Experience has shown and ex periments decided that as stim ulators of growth they answer. but as permanent feeders of the soil which is not consumed by the growing crop, and the land is left as poor when the crop is gathered as it was be fore it was planted, if not poor er. The good farmer who farms intelligently will make his lands richer while he makes his crops larger, and from well-fed land will gather his bountiful harvest. The farmer who has gained nothing from experience will continue to doctor his sick lands with high-priced imported fertilizers and expect good crops, Under sucn treatment ms sick iana& will never get well, never get strong and never bring forth adequate returns for the amount of laber expended upon it. But it is not really so sick as hungry. What- it wants is the right kind of food, and enough of it,-to give it life and vigor. The Advasce enters upon no crusade against com mercial fertilizers. It does not profess to . know it all, but it does believe that the sole use of commercial fertilizers is det rimental to any lands and nev er yields an adequate return for the amount expended. If twenty years ago the far mers oi North Carolina had learned the value of the home made manure pile, and given their attention to it instead of commercial fertilizers, there would be fewer abandoned "old fields" and yawning guile ys on the bare hillsides to bring re proach upon and proclaim the folly of the men who spent their iive3 in destroying the in heritance of their children. There are thousands of acres of land in North Carolina turned out as worthless for cultivation, which once bore fair crops, and which have been used by sense less farming, and much of which now, by proper manage ment, might be restored to fer tility and be made valuable. But it will never be done until our farmers learn the value of A. singular dranatic incident oc curred in Superior Court room at Waynesboro during the trial of the Eoge.s bi others for the, killing of the Symses, father and sou. The killing occurred at McBean's Sta tion ia October last. Eminent counsel had been engaged by the Drosecution and defence, for both parties are prominent and wealthy.

The hour, the occasion, tue audience auu iue uuu light from which the rapt faces were bent upon him all combined to form a surroundin well calculated to inspire me oraror 10 uis neatest effort. He closed bis aaaress upon the women as follows; "At the battle of Gettysburg General Pickett was ordered to begin the charge which was to make him famous. As lie went into the terrible battle his young bride on horseback followed him. When the hail ot death was beating down meu on all sides, aud the plung ing shot and shell mingled the fierce screams with the moans and aud cries of himself in the presence of his wife. Iu an agony of fear for her safety he cried out to her as she sat tooj aui collected as a veteran ; 'Go hack !

At this momeut through the court room there rang out the wild, thrilling cry, which nearly lifted the excited throng to its feet. It was the oid rebel yell, heard upon' a hundred battlefields and never to be forgotten. A deep silence followed.

"I am sure he must have read that account of the burning of Deacon Pleyel's barn at least four times, and I do believe he kuons the list ol prizes at the county fair by heart. Of all papers.the Weekly Trumpet Blast is certaiuly the most stupid I ever saw. And, dear, poor Dick must be half dozen to death put there in the coin- house." For here Tras the root of the matter. Pretty Lydia was in love with DiCK Churchill, who was steadfastly discountenanced by old Mr Kesson : afnd this sly youug woman, with the black-blue eyes and the dimple in her chin, was actually in the habit of indulging Dick with a fireside chat alter the old gentleman had plodded his leisurely way up to bed, which he generally did very soon, after eight o'clock. "One can't go to bed at sunset like chickens," reasoned Lydia to herself. "And I must see Dick sometimes, and it's deal tt o lone some and cold to meet under the apple trees in the orchard auj more : and as long as I'm darning the stockings vud meuding father's clothes, I'm sure it can't signify to him what company 1 have. ' But Mr. Kesson laid down the Weekly Trumpet Blast at last, aud cleared his throat with a prodigious noise. I see, Lydia," said he "that Squire Otex has took the premium again for his cattle." lias he said Lydia, lu.lult-r- ently. "Dreadful fore-haudtd man, Sriuire Grex," remaiked Mr. Kesson, stariug at the hre.

' "Father" said Ldia, reildt'nins: to the roots of her hair. "I thought thai was all past and gone." "It aiot too lafe yet to be Mrs. Grex. if" "Yes, it is.!'' burst . in Lvdia. "I never, uever will marry that horrid fat disagreeable old man, not it there was nobody else in a'l the world!" "Humph !'' said; Mr. Kessou, "Well, p'r'aps the day may come when yon will be eorry for it, Lydia. Y'ouug IbUs think old folks are fools, but old tolks know that youug folks 1 are.

Lydia flushed deeply, and bit off the end of her needleful of daridng cotton with considerably more emphasis than the occasion seeaied to demand, but she said uothmg And Mr. Kessoh uttered another resounding" Ahem !" aud went out Uut not to bed. .through some strange fatalty he .ook it into his bald head to sauuter out of the back door, and look up at the sky "Cloudj-, said he to himself, "and rainin' a smart sprinkle. Well, the wind has been from the east all day. Bless me ! what's that ? It's rather think he'll keep for the present. Now I'll go and have a nice little chat with Lydia, for I pea that the candle has found its way to the right place at last, and thea I'll notify the constables and rouse up old Kesson. Bat I don't thiuk there's any occasion for hurry," It was not until the old clock bauds toached the figure ofmid nbh that Dick got through with all that he had to say to pretty Lydia. "Mercy oa as!" said Lydia, as the twelve strokes burred hoarsely ou the listening ear of night, "how awrully late it is!" "Yes rather so," said Dick, suddenly remembering his prisoner. "Aud I suppose the fellow outside thinks so, too," 'What fellow outside ?" cried Ls dia, opening her eyes wide. "Now don't be frightened, pet," aid Dick. "I thought there was no use in disturbing yoa about it ; out mere is a burglar securely penned up in the corn-house out slie, and been for the last two hours." "A burglar, Dick 1" "Just that exactly, my love. "Oh, Dickl Oh Dick!" cried Lydia, clinging convulsively to his arm. A burglar ! Will he kill us ! Will he murder as !" "Darling, don't worry," said Dick a .vantage of the opportunity to administer a bug aud several kisses to his sweetheart. "If there's to be any killing or murdering doue, it won't be while I'm around." "Kut father ! Let me call father !" "My pet, what on earth should we disturb the old gentleman' for !" said Dick. "I'll just go out and interview the fellow, and then I'll wake up the chore boy scud him ove.r Sam Hall, the constable's house for re-inforceaient." "But, Dick, dou't go.
