(t was an iinb'cky day evervWv said when Fanny, the upstairs girl at Mrs. Hrav's. met Tom Mason and fell in love with him. Tom was a good workman; that if, something; but he had one serious failing, and that was h fondness for a glass once in a while with a friend. So, in spite of all thewarningstshe received from here and there, ranoy would uiarry Iom, and went away with him in a china-bilk dress and a bonnet covered with roses, looking as pretty as a wild flower, and in a delirious state of excitement. Fanny was very happy, and luuked prettier than ever, and all went on well for a while. Hut the man who does not stop drinking to please the girl he loves will never stop for his wife. One night Tom came borne very tipsy indeed, and ail night ran uy sat by the fire aud cried, and in the morning they had their first quarrel Tom swore no woman should rule him, and to prove it went on what he cl!ed a tre. He drar.k for davs, sint his week's wages, neg lected his woik, and it being a time when it wa easier to Ioe a place than to get one, loss his. lie blamed himself, but that did no good; he tried for work in vain. His own money was always spent from weed to week, and now Fauny Irew ou her savings. 1 hey went also. Tom was deMierate and drank to make himself more hopeful. At last, however, he did obtain work, but his habit had grown too strong for bint, lie ient his noontime respite in drinking, and going up a long ladder afterward, grew dim and fell to the ground and broke his arm. Groaning aud suffering he was taken home, and bit by bit all the furniture was sold or pawned, ran ny, now too delicate to work very hard, took in waching, but finally the landlord could wait no longer for his rent and they were turned out of door. Poor Tom was taken to a hospi tal, and Fanny, who was sheltered by a poor friend, soon found her self ti.e mother of a little iiaby. When the wjm well enough to go to ee Tom, she found that he had lost his arm there was no more work for him in this world. So Fanny went to service a pale, altered wo man. Her wages were all needed to pay her baby's board and keep Tom. She could no longer dress tidily, aud her heart was so full that she was cross and testy. The ladies did not like to have their kitchen haunted bva diwipatetl man, who came only for monej, and who re proached his wire because shecould not earn more. Poor Fanny left one place for an ol her, staving long in none. Her baby was often sick, and she grieved that she could not have it with her. No one would have know n her for the lively, trim Fanny of the old times. ii. One d.iv. however, her husband came with some news that seemed good. He hud obtained a situation as night watchman, and he prooed that Fanny should hire a room and take in laundry woik. Then the) eoutd U' together-father, mother ind little one. Fanny was glad- idi, so glad! It seemed a beginning of better times, though the room was but a shabby one. in a miserable tenement house, furnished with old thiugi from ii second-hand store. The child was brought home. Work was found, and she hung the wet clothes on the long pully lines cnuuv sang me gay oia songs again and chirped merrily to her little one. She gave her husband comfort able meals, kept the poor place clean, anifnever gadded or eossinned when she had work to do, and for a ' long wnne lorn kept sober, lie knew that he must lose his place if he did not, and he could do so little now, he had resolved to turn a new leaf. But the resolutions of a drunkard are of no avail. When the Christmas Eve came, and Fanny, prou 1 of the nice pair of chickens and the mince pie she had bought for the Christmas din ner, opened the door to light him upstairs as usual, she knew by the uneven loot tall that he bad been drinking. And indeed he had. In all her life she had never seen him so drunk before. He was simply a madman, and when, unable to restrain her feel ings, she reproached him, be struck her a heavy blow. This much, a neighbor listening on the stairs, had to tell next morn ing. After that there were strange nowes ana suence. At dawn a police officer, patroll ing his beat, found lviug upon the sidewalk, under the windows of the tenement house in which Fanny hved, the mangled body of an in fant It was plain that it must have been thrown from an upper room, lie called assMtance, and en tered the house. Women flocked upon the landings. They knew the baby for Fanny Wilson's, and point ed to her door. No one answering tue order to open, it was broken in, and a horrible sight presented itself. On the floor lay Fanny and her hus band with their throats cut. There was no one to tell the tale; but there could be no doubt that Tom Wilson, mad with drink, had killed both wife and child and then com mitted suicide. So ended poor fanny's life.

(irowu Hay. Quite ficquently we see in our ex- chauires mention in Worth Carolina and Virginia farmers buying North ern and Western hay to feed their boms aud cows, instead or raising hay or fodder on tb ir own farms, and thereby save at least the cost ot hauling one way. Again we would like to get our farmers to make a close calculation, and see if tbey can make cotton to buy meat, com, hay, meal, flour, niolssees, cloth and shoes, and do the hauling and pay the freight both ways as cheaply and conveniently as thev could raise them on their farms. We are of the opinion that a close Calculation will show urge advant age io favor ol raising them at home, besides the convenience and satis tac tion of having a year's supply on hand. The mind thus relieved of anxious care, would add viuor to the body and hilianty to the spirits, and make hfesnd farming a pleasaai and ptont able business. Prepare at least a few acres where the grass can grow with all its speed and luxuriance, undisturbed by plow or hoe aud you soon have bay at your door. It is better to have certain acres lit go to grate than to work so hard to kill the grass and buy bay the next Summer.

North Carolina cannot affml to neglect the education of her children. Her honor, no less than tbe happi ness and prosperity of her people, is involved, We have no lamp by which our feet are guided, but the lamp of experience, and tne last few years have thrown a flood of light on the educational problem. General education is an imperative demand wherever suffrage is general, and, is a State where suffrage is universal, tducatiou should be universal. New Bern Journal.

Notwithstanding the cordial invi tation which conventions of represen tative men in the South haye ex tended to their fellow-citizens in the North and West to come South and become one of us, and the still more reliable authority of the reputable newspapers of the South, yet we are sorry to know that there are many men North, especially in the rnral districts, who have doubts about the mauner in which they will be re ceived. To all such we wish to say that the Sooth needs immigration. It has millions of uooccupied land, and when tbe character of the cli mate and the great variety of profit able crops which her soil will pro duce are considered, it is the best agricultural country in America. She wants these lands occupied, and invites people to come from other points and bny and cultivate them. If, therefore, onr people were eoy erned by no higher motive than sel fishness, tbey would tender a kindly and cordial greeting to all who come. In addition to this, the people of the South are noted for their hospitality S - l W. 4USC9, no matter where they come from. This is one of the Southerners' most striking characteristics. In tbe South, as everywhere else, men fix their own social status. If a man move into any Northern locality and a.sjciate with the low and vicious part of the community, genteel peo f ie will have nothing to do with him. f on the other hand he deport him- self as a gentleman and seek the as sociation of respectable people, he will be recognized by them. It ie the same way in the South. If a man from the North, or anv wh?re else. come South and associates with tbe negroes and low lom people, he will be presumed to have sought the asso ciation which is molt congenial to bim and be albwed to have his choice in tbe matter ; but, on the contrary, if he deport himself correctly, and toes not put himself with disreputa ble people, he will be fully recognized by tbe better class and treated with greater degree ot hospitality and cordial friendship than he will find iu probably any other part of the WUild. letlVrsoii I Mt i at Fine! let tile.
