Come dose, dear lore, and sit beside me.
For you, of all, know how my sorrows tried me;

My greatest need, and all my Woe.
When I am dead and all my heart's distress
Lies ia die green earth's sweet forget fulness,

If thou but think of me with gentleness.

Rules For Society.
You ask roe for rules of society,
The following were given to mo.
Alas ! though they sound pretty simple,
1 fail iu each one of the three.
The first is the shortest, but hardest ;
Forget yourself dress, looks and all,
Not wishing you're stouter or thinner,
Less dark, or Iobs fair, or les.-i tall ;
Forget, though your dress may be shabby ;
Forget, too, the go of your hair ,
Forgetting, in short, all about you,
Remember all else who are there.
Rule two is Think alwayt of olhert,
And when you are thinking be sure
To try and discover their bent points.
Don't dwell on the faults they should cure.
If only you look and endeavor
You always may find something good.
The most disagreeable is never
Too utterly horrid and rude.
Remember this one has had trouble,
That other one may have feeble health,
This man bos been soured by poverty,
Another no less so by wealth.
These two arc but just the exceptions,
For "out of the people you meet
You'll find only one who is sour
In proportion to ten who are sweet.
Think always the best things about them,
It will not be bard if you try
And then you can always say truly
" In this thing he s better than I.
The third rule is. Make them all happy :
Look arouud to see who is left out ;
Cheer up the shy girl in the corner,
Amuse the old man with the gout.
Take care of that pale-looking lady,
And mind that she 8 not in the draught.
But don't let her see what you're doing,
If needs be, with rove mix sonic craft.
Talk politics now to the statesman,
Converse with another on trade,
Talk of home and friends to the lonely boy,
And of flowers and woods to the maid.
If ever you talk of people,
Remember the rule says "All,
And you must not be entertaining ono
At the cost of another s fall.
It's your mission to make all happy,
And never to drop a speech
That could carry sorrow to any heart
Y herever your words might reach.
After all, it's the Bible maxim
That puts it shortest and best:
Be kind, be courteous, be full of love"
You may safely leave the rest.

Virginians, eosisting of Gen. W. C. Wytk-

rived here at 11 : '62 a. m.
The depot and streets leading to it were
crowded, and as the President alighted he
received on ovation. Tne Home unarrts
came to a "present," lifted their Iiclmlets,
and, as soon aa the visitors were seated in
the carriage, wheeled about and proceeded
the cavalcade to the fair grounds, three
quarters of a mile distant.
Upon reaching the grounds the presiden
tial party were driven to the fbuilding oc
cupied1 by the general officers, and shortly
afterwards the executive emerged troni the
balcony ovorlookin the fair grounds, where
he was presented to the multitude bv Gov
ernor Fitz Hugh Lee, who pleasantly wel
comed the President to the meeting of the
sepresentatives of the agricultural interests
of Virginia.
Gov. Lee said : "The annual gathering of
the representativer of the agricultural inter
ests of Virginia is always a subject of con
cern to us all, and that interest is more in
tense and profound than ever this yar: be
cause the chief magistrate of this great re
public tells us by his presence this morning
that he too, is interested in whatever touches
prosperity of the common ivealth which
tqrms a of this great land, whose govern
ment has been committed to his charge.
Indeed it is a recognition of the fact on the
part of our President that agricultural
wealth and progress is intimately interwov
en with the advancement of national pros
perity. It should, therefore, be an encour-
ragementto the farmer to study carefully his
profession, as others have to do theirs. In
order to attain eminence in the respective
pursuits, agriculture standing in the van of
our industrial arts, will have a renaissance,
and with the rapid development of all our
mineral resources, wo will hope to present
to your eyes, Mr. President, a section that
is abreast with the other parts of thecountry
in all that constitutes the genuine wealth of
public success."
Gov. Lee then alluded to the railroads of
Virginia, the development of the iron ore,
coal fields, and to the general industrial and
commercial growth of the South. He con
tinued "I speak of this, sir, because, while
occupying the position you do, knowing no
North, no bouth, no Last or no West, it will
give you pleasure to know that the South
will contribute tier proportionate share to
the future grandeur and glory of the Ameri
can repulic. The old mother of Presidents
to-day welcomes within her borders a Presi
dent of tUc United states, and 1 know that 1
voice the sentiments of this vast throng
when I tender y ou and the distinguished cit
izens and statesmen who accompany you, a
sincere, hearty welcometo Virginia. Virgin
ians not only feel the most profound vene
ration for the high office whose duties you
so ably discharge, but they respect the man
who fills it. Y e share, sir, the feeling so pre
valent elsewhere, that under your adminis-
trrtiou the destiuy of the country has lieen
committed to wise, conservative and safe
hands, that the constitution of liberty is
secure. VVe believe, Mr. President that you
will stand firm in the defense of the princi
ples of the government inaugurated by the
forefathers. The mutterings of discontent
have become hollow toned, and recoil from
your armor of right as the dashing songs re
bound from the rock barred beach of the
ocean. From the stormy night of the past we
seem to see you standing on the mountain
top like another Moses, bearing only in your
hands with erect brow and resolute heart
the tables of the law while inarching on
without fear of obstacle. May your adminis
tration bring to the whole country light, life
and hope, and may the prayei ascend to my
fathers (iod, that the sword has been beaten
into the plough share and the spear into the
pruning hook, that State shall not lift up its
arm against btate; neither shall they know
war auymotc. But that the sign of peace
and prosperity shall be as lasting as the
home of the stones, us eternal as the found
ation of the everlasting hills."
The President was then introduced by
Col. Beverly, who in behalf of the farmers
of Virginia, welcomed him to their State
Deafening aud prolonged cheers, and wild
waving of hats and handkerchiefs greeted
him: In a clear voice, loud ienough to be
heard upon the great borders of the multi
tude, he spoke as follows;
"Fellow Citizens ok Viroikia : While
T thank vou most sincerely for your kind
reception, and recognize in its heartiness
the hospitality for which the people of Vir
giu ia have always been distinguished,! con
gratulate myself that my hrst introduction
to the people of Virginia occurs at a time
I when they are surrounded by the exhibits of
I the prodtctions and prosiierity of their
State. Whatever there may be of honor in
I her history, and however much pride there
may be in her traditions, the true greatness
is here exemplified. The full advantage of
that which may be yielded to a t te by the
toil and ingenuity cdfcer peoi e is not
measured alone by tnPBf.v value of the
product. The clFortjBPthe struggles of
her farmers and her irtjBnot only create
new values in the ticktWijmgriuJturt and
in the arts and manufactories, but they at
the same time produce rigid, self-reliant
and independent men, and cultivate that
product which more than all others, enables
a State a patriotic, earnest American citi
zenship. If in the past we have been es
tranged, and the cultivation of American
citizenship has been interrupted, your en
thusiastic welcome of to-day demonstrates
that there is an end to such estrangement,
and that the time of suspension of fear is
succeeded by an era of faith and confidence.
In such a kindly atmosphere aud breath,
such cheering skies, I greet the people of
Virginia as laborers in the field where
grows the love of our united countiy."
Upon the conclusion of the speech there
was a great cheering. The other mcmliers
of the party were presented, after which the
president held a reception iu the office of
the president of the society.
Many expressions of regret were heard
on all sides at the failure ot Mrs. Cleveland
to ancompnnv her distinguished husban
and much comment is made on the sudd

ARRIVES Home SAFELT.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 21st. The re
turn trip of the presidential special from
Richmond, was without incidents, and but
one or two brief stops were made. Upon
the arrival at Washington at 10 p. m., the
President and members ef the Cabinet were
immediately driven to their respective
homes. The President and member of the
party expressed themselvs as having enjoy

Silk, Cotton and Bice.
The Hon. Thos. It. Jernigant writing
to the Goldsboro Messenger, from
Japan, among other valuable informa
tion from that distant land, says:
"The business of silk production is
carried on in the house where the
family lives. The mulberry leaves are
either picked off by women and chil
dren and carried into the house, or the
young limbs with the leaves on are cut
off and taken there, where the leaves
are picked off, washed, cut up, and fed
to the worms. Little skill is required.
When the cocoons are ready for wind
ing, it is done by women and girls. To
make an even thread requires exper
ience, care, and skill, and such labor
commands wages accordingly. Spin-
ning, warping, dyeing, and
weaving
ire all more or less skilled brandies
and require skilled labor. There are
some establishments that buy the co
coons, wind them, spin the thread, and
weave the cloth; but nine-tenths or
the silk, raw and manfactured of the
country, is family made. The machin
ery or manufacture, whether in the
factory or private house is crude, and
still remains as though Jacquard and
Arkwright never lived. The beautiful
stuff made by such crude means testify
to their skill and ingenuity.1 The man
who tends the trees commands ordin
ary farm wages, while leaf pickers and
feeders, winders, spinners, and weavers
of plain cloth, will get from twenty to
forty-cents per da Weavers of fancy
patterned goods get much more, even
as high as one dollar per day, but this
is very exceptional.
speaking of cotton raising in Japan
he says: The average yield per acre is
125 lbs. The lint is septirated from
the seed by means of rubbers, which
consist of two small wooden rollers
which revolve in opposite directions
&c. They are not likely to compete
with us, for some years yet, if ever
The rice crop in Japan is the leading
agricultural interest of the country
We quote as follows:
Without this product it would be
difficult forothe Coolies the lower class
of laborers to live. It is so cheap
that four or five cents will purchase
enough for daily food, nice is culti
rated in all the provinces of Japan
The average price of rice land is about
forty dollars per acre. Four or five
acres of lowland rice fields form quite
a respectable holding for one person.
This, with another acre or so of upland
where vegetables are raised, and a lit
tle bluff land for timber, fuel, and grass
to feed the jack horse, supports his
family, pays for hired help, and gives
a little surplus at the annual renting
day. The houses of the rice, silk and
tea farmers are the best of the agricul
tural laborers in Japan. The house is
often as large as thirty or forty feet
square, universally one-story, thatched
roof, strongly built, with veranda in
frout, and five or six rooms, one being
kept as a spare or reception room. If
built with a view to light and warmth
they would compare in comfort with
the average farm house at home.
The Chancei of Matrimony.
A man who has studied the various
phases of the matrimonial market hsis
come to the conclusion that every
woman has some chance to marry ; it
may be one to fifty or it may be ten to
one she will. Representing woman's
entire chance at Hit), he has made out
the following table to show the chance
at certain points of time :
Between the ages of 15 and Sift earn . H per cent.
Between the ages of 80 and i years 5 per centi
Ilet ween the ages ot 25 aud SO yeara IS per c nt
Between the ages of so and 35 years . . . . (jeruent.

Methodist Giving
BY CHAPLAIN C. C. M CARE.
Some people think that a good way
to raise missionary money is to com
pare the giving of Methodists with
that of other denominations, tint) some
times the comparison see ma preatly
against us. It is a very common thing
to divide our whole missionary collec-
lon by one million eight hundred
thousand members, and then take the
lttle quotient of less than half a dol-
ar and ring the changes on it.
We Methodists " says a writer in n
church paper lying before me "We
juetnoaists give but fctty cents per
annum for missions per member while
the Presbyterians give two dollars; the
Congregation ahsts give three dollars
and fifty cents; the Protestant Episco
palians one dollar and fifty cents," etc.
Isow this would be shameful if this
were the whole story. But look at the
following table. The Methodist peo
ple gave last year for the work of God,

they have built six thousand more

more than the Episcopalians possess in

which is tonuear in the Southern Bivouac

tal is all they have to sustain their prestige.
Numerous cleverly concocted certificates

ing to have "snatched them from the grave"
some poor victim of blood poison or other
disease, when to our knowledge the identi
cal persons' lay groaning in agony while the
public were reading tiieir remarkable re

Another serious offense is the publication
of erroneous statements concerning various
drugs, sncti as aicb 'prescribed by our best
ihysieiam, declaring them deadly poisons,

less, but forms one of the most powerful
antagonists to blood poison known to the

Wonderful Ulcers.
Atlanta, Ga., June 5,1888.
In 1878 there came on my hand what
was thought to be a carbuncle, which ran
its course several months, broke and finally
healed, the next spring knots or knodes,
came on my arms, which were thought to
oc rneunatic, ana 1 iook gnuons oi nieui
eine from the best physicians in Culhbert,
Ga., whcre'I then resided.
About this time my left limb below the
knee commenced swelling at a fearful rate,
and finally came to a head and broke. Both
arms were sore, aud I could hardlv bear my
weight standing, and hardly kuow how I
raana&cd to live through it all. About this
time we moved from Cuthburt to Atlanta.
I began to despair of ever getting well; the
sore on my limb was a regular eating ulcer.
now about three inches in length, two inch
es width, seeming to be down to the bone,
and discharging about a cupfu of pus
(matter) a day, my arms still running, my
sleep disturbed, aud 1 sometimes thought I
would lose my reason.
A frieud recommended B. B. B. I com
menced its mfc, and I saw an improvement
from the very first. I have taken 8 or 9 bot
tles, and my arms are entirely well, and the
large ulcer on my limb has healed. I now
feel like a new person, thanks to such a
noble remedy, fi.B.B
