Johnson was right. I don't agree to all
The solemn dogmas of the rough old stager,
But very much approve wh it one may call,
The minor morals of the '"Ursa Majjr."
Johson was right. Although come men adore
Wisdom in woman, and with wisdom cram
her,
There (sn't one in ten hut think far more
Of his own g'ub than his spouse's grammar.
I know it is the greatest sb?me in life:
But who-among them (save, perhaps, my
self)
Returning home, but a*ks ois wife,
What oeef—not books—she lias upon the
shelf?
Though Oreek and Latii be the lady's boast
Tliey're little valued by her loving mate;
The kind of tongues that husbands relish most
Is modern boiled ahd served upou a plato.
Or. ii, as fond ambition may command,

Toting lady—deep in love w.tt»Toui or Harry—
'Tis sad to tell you such a tale as this;
But there is the moral of it: Do not marry;
Or, marrying take your lover as lie is.
A very Mars—with something of the bruto
Unless ho proves a sentimental noddy;
With passions strong aud appetite to boot,

GRAHAM, N C-, WEDNESDAY MAY 26 1880
Kitty having filled a basket with ap
ples for the pigs, strolled around* the
admiring the trees and (he fruit,
and climbed a tow pe&eb tree, in
order to gather one especially fine peach
f»r iter father. In this position, her c\c
was caught by a low line ol green wil
lows. bordering the 'sloping meadows
beyond the orchard.
'lt looks as though a stream was there,'
she thought; 'and Ido so love water, 1
daie B"i> it >s lovely under those willows.
Come, Rolla,' calling to a little hall
grown terrier, 'you and'l will go on an
exploring expedition together.'
llolla, alter sonte eoaxing. rather sulk
ily obeyed, lie was au ugly, little ciouk-
ed leg, hairy muzzled pup, which Kitty
had, o» her arrival ut the farm, begged
the farmer for a pet. Yet, Itolla, despite
all the petting, did uot take to his pretty
young nrstress, but persisted in evincing
a deckled preference for the burn aud
'kitchen, and low life in general.
Kilty was net disappointed in her ex
pectation. She found a clear, shallow
stream which ran rippling and murmur
ing pleasantly beneath (tie willows be
tween thickets, ol'wild loses and. bios*
somingoHer. She seated herself on the
grassy bank, and took oil first her. but,
aud then her shoes and stockings, and
allowed the cool ripples to da.ice about
her white feet. Then she became inter
ested in watching some insect-life on the
surface of the water, aud when s.a.i*fied
with these resumed Iter s aud stock
ings and lay bick>n the cool turf, dream*
ily repeating snatches of.poetry. A sliay
sunbeam glinted on her rippiiug brown
hair, aud (lie e>cs that looked up through
the waving foliage were as deeply blue
and clear as die sunny 6ky overhead.
Pity that lb-re was no ttray artist to
gaze upon the picture.
Suddenly, lvily awoke to (be fact that
Holla had disappeared, lie bad been
smelling about the bushes, and had now
stolen oil on the track ot some scent, per
ceptible only to his own keen olfacto
ries. .... •
Kitty lifted up her voice and called in
her sweet,.clear, girlish tones:
• - Itoiiu l KUtirt !'
li» answer, there was presently a rust
ling amid the elder bushes, aud forth
Stepped, not the culprit llidla. but a very
handsome voting man, equipped with a
gun and bird bag.
Kiliy sprang up. Each stared for an
instant at each other, then the gentleman,
gracefully lilting his cap, said:
'May I inquire, Miss, what you want
with me?'
. ' Want with you?' repeated she, in sur
prise.
'Yes; I was crossing lite field yonder,
when i heard you cull me,' be replied,
with a slight demure expressi u about
his mouth aud eyes.
'I called you?' said Kity, indignantly.
•Ye-, you called distinctly
aiid earnestly;' replied ho, biting Ihe cor
ner ot Ids moustache: 'and I, of couise,
obeyed the summons, and atn at your
service. My name is Uolaud, or Roliu,
as 1 am familiarly called.
Kitty surveyed him Irom head to fool.
•Oh,' said she, very cooly, 'if was a
inistako oil your pari f It was not yon,
■but the other puppy I was calling. His
name is also Holla.'
'lndeed! Where is heT inquired the
gentleman, looking around with a great
expression of interest.
* He's run away from me.'
'I wonder at him. In fact, I really
don't see how he could have done it,' said
he. looking at Kitty, aud slowly stroking
Lis moustache.
She drew heraolf up, with a great as*
sumption ot dignity.
'lf you Iry, sir, you will And bow it can
be done,' said she, loftily. ;
'And if 1 don't want to try.'
•Then (heather puppy must make ypa.
Here he is, just in tiuio. Here, Iloiia,
good dog! Hi, at him, sir I'
Ami Kitty clapped her white bands to*
get her, and tried to whistle, as she had
seeu her papa do, to the great aumtemeul
of the gentleman.
But instead oi gallantly rushing to the
attack, at the command of bis mistress,
i Itolla frisked np tb the stranger with ex«
travagaut dctuoptd rat ions ot delikbt.
'Oh, he kuows you!' said Kitt|, con*
fctnptuonsly, 'ami so you didn't ran/
'Yes, Italia knows his friends. In fact,
lie's my namesake—an honor conferred
upon me by the admiring partiality of
Farmer Hawea.'
'Ue belonga to me now, and I mean to
change bia name,' said Kitty, positively.
•Pray don't 1 You have no idea ot how
musically it sounded across tbe field. - 1
fancied some wood ujmpli—ir dryad—
calling to me. Belongs to rou now,
does be? ilappy dog!' And be stooped
and petted India's head.
Kitty turned sharply.
'Are voo going awav, sir, or shall IT
she demanded.
'Oh, 1 would, not tor the world iucouis
mode yoi;T And I beg you to rempuiber
tliKt I came on'y because I fancied you
were calling me,' Having probably seen
me passing. I saw. you from ti.e bank
above. Tray excuse the mistake, and
allow mo to wish yyu a goodeveniusr.'
An/f?'ftuh a courteous bow, he disap
peared among the bushes.
Kitty stood looking indignantly after
him ui-til In- disa||wared.
•The impudent puppy!' she murmur
el.* 'I liever heard of such assurance.'
And ihen a slow smile rippled over
her f»ce, which -die. frijineraely checked
by biting lie corner of her red itudur
lip. .
'Coino, Holla," she called in a nub-
'come sir and go home,
and sec liuw you get uie into scrapes
again.' - i
She climbed the bank into the
meadow the dog tollowmg with a de
jected nnd-culpril-like niieu. IJ'it sud
denly he g»ve a short, sharp bark, and
ut tiio same iriomaut another and
stranger sound smote upon Kitty's ear.
It was a low, hoarse, sobbing murmur,
which seeuied to swell it to an angry
roar.
'lf I \y>re in Africa I* sliou'd faney
that.a lion's mail' thought Kitty, curious
ly looking arounti.
In Hit intttii-nt I»r checks became
Uentuly pale, and k1»«» stood breathless

OUH barki ig, turned and ignominouidy

Kitty strove in vain to follow his ex
ample; hr limb* felt p.ttulyzed, and shtt
turned taint and sick.
The bull came slowly onward, now
lowering his head, uplifting it., .and
staring fiercely and threatening, at
the ligure in the center of the field.
Suddenly a voice shouted;.
'Don't be afraid! Throw away your
r.d shawl! Now, run—mil to the near

The assurance 6f ll'dfs at bund in«

attention of the bull, and ran as fast
as her trembling limbs would carry

'Gone deserted me in my hour of

she dried hr fars. 'But I've had

A bill has been reported from lh)Com
mittee on Education ami labor ami plac
ed on (lie Mouse calender,which provide*
for (he appointment by the President of
a commixsion ol seven learned persons
who shall take into oouslderaiion Chesub
jc»;t of reform in the spelling of English
words used ill public document* and in
scbool-botsks used in the District of Col
umbia. The author ot the bill, Mr. Ual
lon, ol Ithode Island, says the bill is re
ported in response to a large number of
petit ions'from presidents of c dirges,'
superintendents ot school, authors
scholars generally. One of these peti
tion* somes from the American Philolog
ical Association, and llie leading names
signed to it include a number of profes
sors of our nest colleges. Among the
number are W. D. Whitney and J, Hsm
1119ml Trumbull, of Yale; r\ J. Cliilds
and W. W. Goodman, of Harvard; A.
Ilsrkuess, of Brown University; 6. 8.
Ilaldinau, of the Universit) ol the City
ol New York. The idea embodied in the
bill is the appointment of a commission
simply, to be unfettoted by. instruction,
and with powers lo investigate as lo
what measure* ought to be taken to so
simplify the spelling of words as lo make
the language more easily accessible lo
loreigners. Ureal Britain is to be asked
lo join in this work, as a relorin iu the
United Slates without Iho co-opera t lon
of tireat Britain would amount to little
or nothing. It is thought that inasmuch
as congress nab entire jurisdiction over
public documents, ami the Difiri.-t
schools, ihe experiment can beat be in*
augnrated here- Everyone knows lhai
the English language is anything but
homogenous in in construction. Several
newspapers, notably I lie Chicago Trib
une and New York HomeJourna), have
already led ofl iu a reformatory move
ment. Certain classes of words hare
chosen and silent lotlers lopped ofl, and
a uniformity introduced.
The souuJ rather than lho form ol
jrords is considered of paramount lin
portance. For instance, words ending iu
"ogmr' as dialogue, epilogue, &c., sub*
ititute "g 4 ' lor "gue," ibas, "dialog,
epilog," he. ''lie*' where the lis short
i« changed for ••it," thus deflnit, iudef-
Inil, for definite and lutlofliiiie. Wliere
"ph" has the sound of' f," and panic*
nlarly where I lie is used in the Span
ish and Italian radicals, the "f" is u*ed
11us, "fouloin" lor phamom, "falanx"
r>r pbalank, "farisee" for pbarisee,
•fisik" for physic. This change is rec
nnmended by so high an au'hority as
Max Mnller, who say* Hie ph is an af» >
ectatiou of the Aaguslaa age and was
*
borrowed from the Greek. Later Roman
writers use ''f and die Italian and Span
ish spelling coufoi ui to tbu. later Roman
model. Thus the Italian '•fl'osopho" is
►itnpler Ilia.i the Greek "phiiosopfios,"
but wo have retained the Greek form.
The reform contemplates selling it "fll
osofer,X' which is ttwt only simple, but
pretty. It has been es'inia'od that b*

attendant. The patient complain* of
weariness and debility; he is easily *
startled, his feet are cold or burning
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it In fact he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases .
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PIUS, nr
CASES or AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would v
advise all who are afflicted with this *
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
