A friend in Rockingham county sends us the following lines with the request that we publish them for the benefit of the rising gener ation. This is one of the songs that inspired the boys of ?61 when they were preparing to march against their friends the enemy : Come all ye sons of freedom and join our Southern band, We are going to fight the Yankees and drive them from our land; Justice is our motto and providence our guide, . So jump into the wagon and we'll all take a ride. ; chorus: - Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon; i The South is the wagon, and we'll all take a ride. , - . Secession is our watchword, our rights we all demand; To defend our homes and firesides we pledge our hearts and hands; Jeff Davis is our president, with ..Stephens by his side, GreatJBeauregard our general and he'll join us in the ride. The invading tribe called Yankee?, with Lincoln for their guide, Tried to keep Kentucky from joining in the ride, But she heeded not their entreaties, she has come into the ring, She wouldn't fight for a government where cotton wasn't king. Old Lincoln and his congressmen, with Seward by bis side, Put old Scott in the wagon just for to take a ride; McDowell was the driver; to cross Bull Run he tried, But there be left the wagon for Beaure gard to ride. Manassas was the battle ground, the field was fair and wide; The Yankees thought they'd whip us out and on to Richmond ride, But when they met our Dixie boys their danger they espied; " They wheeled about for Washington, and didn't want to ride. Brave Beauregard, God bless him, safd legions in his stead, -While Johnson seized the colors and waved them o'er his head. To rising generations with pleasure we will tell, How bravely our Fisher and gallant Johnson fell. A Rural Court Scene. - A couple applied to a rural Jus tice of the Peace for total divorce. The Justice called the baliff aside and asked in a whisper: "What's the law on that p'int?" "You can't do it," replied the baliff, "it don't come under yer jur isdiction." "We're willin'- to pay cash fer it," replied the husband, not un derstanding the nature of the con sultation. "I've got the money in this here 8tockinVr The Justice looked grave. Then, adjusting his spectacles and ad dressing the man, said i "You knowed 'fore you come here that 'twarn't fer me ter sepa rate husband an wife, an yet, you not only take up the time o' this here valuable court with yer talk- in', but ackchullyperpose ter bribe me with money! Now, how much has you got in that stockln'r" "'Boutsix dollars an' a half, yer honor." "All right then. I fine you $5 for bribery an? a dollar an' a half fer takin' up my time with a caee what my jurisdiction is out of, an' may theXord have mercy on yer soul!" . - ' : Queer Legal Proceeding. A legal proceeding lately occur red in Vance township that de serves to go down in the books, and we hereby fork it over to pos terity as a valuable precedent. A man moved out of a neighborhood, leaving his dog in the possession of a neighbor. The canine made it a business to disturb, the peace of the community, whereupon some one indicted the neighbor for keep ing a nuisance. In the trial be fore the magistrate, it appearing that the dog did not actually be long to the man who was keeping it, the court discharged the man and issued a warrant against the dog, setting a day for trial and no tifying the owner to be present and defend bis dog. The day set for trial came around all right, and all the parties to the case were on hand. The court, as prosecutor, told of the bad things thedogi was charged with doing, and in his de fense, his owner stated that while the dog would bite, he always staicl at home and attended to his own business and only bit when he was to bothered. the court DESIGNS TRADE-MARKS AND COPYRIGHTS OBTAINED ffi) Li IV t ftf ricu '; an patent U secured. "Many years ago," says the Can ton Times, "we saw it stated that gardener's around Paris paid 5 apiece for toads. The amount of insects a toad will consume is in credible. It is estimated that one toad will destroy of cutworms alone an amount capable of doing $19.88 worth- of damage in a truck gar den. Put toads in your garden. The wlee man who boasts of his wis dom Is a fool. . This not appearing m m mm- i a sumcient aeiense tne following judgment was entered : "That the prisoner at the bar, the dog, be required to give a bond in the sum of $250, to keep the peace and that the owner of the said prisoner be required to furnish the said bond for the said prisoner, failing in which the said owner shall be sent to jail." The owner, in behalf of the prisoner and him self asked for suspension of judg ment until .counsel could be ob tained, and now says he will pay no more attention to the court.- Monroe Journal. Sunset at the Equator. The days and nights are of equal length. The Bun knocks off prompt ly at six o'clock in the evening and gets up at six in the morning with equal regularity the whole year around. There is no twilight, no gloaming, no interval whatever be tween daylight and dark only a brilliant illumination, the sudden disappearance of a red ball into a blue ocean, a spread of flame color over all the western sky for a few minutes and a purple haze in the east. Mm Then the surface of the ocean, like the heavens, is lighted with millions of strange and shifting stars, for the water is so impreg nated with phosphorus that each tiny wave is tipped with light,1 and the foam that follows in the wake of the vessel is often like a stream of fire. Sometimes vou cam see porpoises swimming along the bow of the vessel livid with phosphor escent light and followed by a streak of sparks like a comet's tail. The southern cross, with the right arm tipped out at proper an gle, lies straight ahead, in the midst of myriads of unknown worlds that look strange to those accustomed to the northern con stellations. Under the left arm is a large black spot in the heavens, brightened by only a single modest star, which the sailors call "the the early devil's dinner bag." Over stern of the vessel ,in the evening you can plainly distin guish the familiar constellation of the "great bear," but it goes to bed with the children. j j j A Mother Tells How She Sayed Her Little Daughter's Life. I am the mother of eight chil dren and have had a great-deal of experience with medicines. Last Summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I ' tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in bur paper that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent l and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anx iety and my little daughter much suffering. lours -truly, Mrs. F. Burdick, Liberty, R. I. sale by C. .

"Yes'm," replied Julia, "but not gittin' married is a more seriouscr thing sometimes, don't you think? Anyhow, it'll be as serious for him as it is for me if we don't git along all right.

A druggist can o more harm cr good than most people give hira credit for. There are dif ferent qualities in drugs just as there are in dry goods, and to the outsider all qualities go by the same name The difference between pure, high grade drugs and cheap, inferior drugs of the Bame name, means the difference between keep ing sick and getting weU.
