One good thing, if no other, always comes to us out of winter life, aud that is the charm concentrated in a manner that we are hardly able to feel in all the delights of out-door sum mer day. . As darkness gives us the the freedom of the stars and all the depths of space, while sunshine shuts us in on our one little planet walled about the blue sky, so summer gives us an openness of life that is widening very likely to the spirit in many ways, and certainly on the plane of nature and the beauty of earth and sea and sky. But winter shuts us in upon our selves and each other, deepens our love for it, and especially our family love and our -reverence for homes. The land where home is the thing 1 Z J 1. 1 ' ' -L L I il most eviueui aim insistent, wnere me qualify of the homes is most apparent, always a land where winter predom- atea. Not that homes do not exist and are not dearly valued in southern countries; hut where one can live as easily in all outdoors as undera roof, the use of the four walls is not so evi dent aud insistent. Undoubtedly there is as much family affection in one lati tude as in another; indeed, it seems sometimes stronger in the wanner lati tudes, as the control aud repression of opinion is apt to be less there, aud even in take ou a. more lively way or demon strating itself there, family feuds and vendettas being affairs of tropic fre quency. The traveller whose train takes him through' villages of northern countries and through the suburbs of great citks in the same portions of the globe, will, as a general thing, be unable to- look out of the window without noting the pains and pride taken in the homes?, as the neat appearance of countless small house and the small grounds about them testify cleanly, orderly, trim, well-painled, well-fenced, tastefully planted, aud being plainly the thing on which the owners hearts are fixed. The prettily arranged little gardens. the overhanging shade trees, the llow ers in the windows, the neat curtains, the premises without disorder or rub bish all show that these are homes and valued ones, and that no pains aie ,1 L i n u r ..... . . I 1 wo-thirds of the year are spent le- 1 hind the doors of these homes; and of course the virtues that belong to life spent closely and with these who are dear have every opportunity for devel opment; if there are any vices spring ing from such a life, we should hardly know how to classify-them. . There is, indeed, a liability to family selfishness, an exclusive regard for one's own, in this sort of life, a possible forgetful uess and heedlessness for others, as light carried to too intense a pitch beedmes darkness, the eye being blind ed. But even this is possible to hut few natures, for the fact of one's own excess of happiness inclines most or. us to pity others and to care for their we fare. It is around the hearth and about the cveninir lamp that a great deal of the added sense of home is gen- erated and its value felt; there, with he books, the reviews, the newspapers. anu uiscuvmou ui tueiu an, is ulihw ... t i- r ii n ..u.. .,..l f m C 1.,. .U;l, 1 I 1 I I I H II 1 II (fill - III III I I I- III I I I A 1111 II I ...., .. .,n l n oruanf . will not say wasted, in the mere idle enjoyrueuts of existence; and there, too, in the constant intercourse is equal chance for the development of the finest moral lite in care of others. in self-sacrifice, in smiling good nature, in all exertion from each member of the home to make that home the one hnnniest snot to all the rest. i .... . . .

Harper s Bazar. Entombment. A respectable portion of people in this couutry, especially among learned physcians, have af late had a good deal to say ou the subject of bury ing the dead, us practiced in this and nearly all other civilized countries. the most interesting, because the most exhaustive, treaties we have seen on the subject, is a pamphlet reprint from The Sanitarian by liev. Chas. B. Feat, of New York citv. It sets out with a review of the various methods which have been practiced in the world for disposing of the dead. There are cre mation, burial in the ground, burial in the sea, exposing the bodies to be torn f .- "t 1 .a .iil l fi ir 11. l l..r 1 .... J , . beasts, and entombment. Of these various methods, after a patient review of them all. the writer se ties down on entombment as the safest, and in all re- pects, the best and the cheapest, method of disposing of the dead. The safest and the best for the living: for he mentions many facts going to show how the common practice of burying in the ground may affect the health of the living by poisoning the atmos phere we breath, and the waters we drink. It requires little knowledge and reflection to see in thee sources possible dangers to the health of the ing; and the more we think about it the more, apparent those caused force themselves upon the mind. The writer then proceeds to show that entombment is the best and only method to obviate objectionable causes encountered in the other methods al luded to. And one fact adduced on this branch of his subject will certain ly arrest the favorable consideration of every reader, and that is,4hat tombs may easily be so constructed as to ar rest the decomposition of bodies, and preserve them intact for an indetiuite npr (n1 or time This most desirable result id obtainable by extracting all miosture of the atmosphere of the chamber in which the bodies are laid. In proof of this, numerous instances are cited to show how dead bodies of men and other animals have been fouud in caves, ancient tombs, and even on the tops of mountains, where the atmosphere condition was favor able, free from desication, looking just as when 4 death came to them. Thus, it would appear, that decompo sition can be controlled, and that its ioatl,SOme and unwholesome transfor mation can be prevented, if only the 101Ple conditions are securea mat nave . i i i iii j i been found abundantly successful wher j ever they have been tested.

Most of our farmers at the time of writ i ng are busy in the field ; throw ing down the old rows, cutting down corn stalks, etc. A few days ago 1 took a walk abroad, I wanted to see what my neighbors were doing. On one mans farm I notised in one field especially a very rank growth of crab grass that had sprung up after the last years' crop had been laid by. He had been firing the grass, , burning it up. was mat ecouomy ror a poor m man? was it economy for a rich man? w .t Bwu lurmuigr i anow noi. trees, stove, harness, corn plaster.

After that corn was gathered and housed last November why was that field left until now to be prepared? If it had been my field l should, as soon as the last load of corn had been hauled out, started my plows in it, and stalks and grass would ill have been deeply buried, and by the time I wanted to plant my corn again this spring they would have been ready to help nourish the young corn plant. mis is one of the weak point3 in your southern sys tem of farming.

The soilshoifld be in the best possible condition at the time of planting so that when the young plant sends out its tiny feeders it will be able to get the proper and necessary food for its perfect develop- meut. Again, much of our laud that Ims been under cultivation for many years is deficient in vegetable humus. rail ploughing by turning under the grass, etc., would help supply this di- tiiency, and by. aiivfctematic rotation of crops we could with the help of our home-made fertilizers, stable manure, do without a great deal of guano and thus lessen our expenses. it our farmers would only take ip this sub- ject in earnest and use a little common sense in their planning ana woriting; ii mey wouiu ouiy recognize mis iuci permittea it not, then the next sea that they must feed the plaut with its son and corral all the circulating me proper food or with the food necessary diurn in the couuties of which these for its full and perfect development, Every one knows or should know that whatever crop is planted it will extract from the soil all the available plaut food it requires or can obtain. Cnless this, plant food is suppled to the soil iu thelshape of manure it will in the course of time become so poor that it wui iioc proiiuce a crop. ah tne available plaut sood has been taken up bv the preceeding crops and the land is wnat we term ruu down, it is ii i i i i then thrown out of cultivation, the pines take possession of it and nature takes up the work of restoring its fer- tility, but we can t afford to wait for na- ture in this country ? Nature has all time before her to do her work in, man has only a few short years in which to do his work, so he has to shorten the time as much as possible by growing peas and oats and applying manure, heavy doses of it too, until he brings his laud up again. 1 have heard in- telligcnt men and good farmers too say, and in fact at one time I thought as thev did. "It is necessary for me to find out what my land is lacking in and then supply that want to put oil my laud to get uny Clop 1 wish.' Alas! nature will not yield up her secret, or rather man has not yet been i t it i i mi able to g:nn that knowledge. me truth is that soil analysis is practi cally worthless to the fanner. Al though the tiller of the soil has been digging and delving for some six thousand years; although cnemi- lcal auu vsis has been, and sull is day by d;y getting a little nearer, a lit- lle closer to the-goal, vet it ti!l re- maius a secret. The farmer must and can by the aid of the chemist, ascer tain of what Lis crop i composed, whether it be corn, cotton or tobacco, that is to say he can ascertain how much potash, lime, phosphoric arid, etc., there is in the make-up of his frou. He will then have a liettei1 idea of what he needs to make a food ryliich shall produce a perfict plant. The key note of it all is this, manure, more iu-mure. We need it, all we cmii get, and moft too. hut .vh it a tremendous lot we loose year after year. We want 1. i . i . i : .... a better system or m iKing ami saving it. Nine tenths of us lose more than we make and then have a big bill to toot at the end of the year, which does uot suit. Uho Gamma Pur.

A Pleasing Proposition and a Golden Opportunity. We are constantly in receipt of pro positions from various parts of the country to do advertising and take pay in the article advertised, first remitting a certain amount of cash to cover the difference between the woith of the article and the worth of the space. If it nad been practicable to have accept ed all of these propositions that hare been submitted within the past ten years, we would now hare har on hand a large and varied assortment of sew ing machines, organs, liver medicines, dog carts, corn-ahellers, boneset bitters, reapers, hay-rakes, hen peauaders, f ru it accenting the nrnnritmni it h o sneaking suspicion that the cash called for in each case was about the worth of the article and m bv the lack f sufficient eanital to mrrv on t.h n. eral barter business succeasfullv in con- nection with a ireneral nublisbintr anH printing business. But by last Satur . o i r day evenings mail there came frpm In diana a proposition which we would Bi certainly accept but for the stringency ot the time. It is to advertise a soda fountain, worth $80 if it is worth a cent, pay $50 in advertising and 124 id cash and get one of these superb fountains. What could be fairer than that?

Y hv, people would fall over one another in their efforts to avail themselves of these unparalleled in ducements and presently the Land- mark would have a boom. We would have this whole country belching car- bonic acid gas and the air would be ournle. Well, vou sav. aftt-r tTrv- thins: had been paid ud and all hands p,ud in advance for a whole yenr, what then? the business would fall off. wouldn't it? Hold a bit; you haven't heard it all: This is a portable soda fountain. After all the material here had been worked up, we could take this extraordinary fountain (never gets out of order) to Tavlorsvilfe, Wilkes- boro, Yadkiuville, Mocksville. Newton. Morgauton, Jefferson, Boone, Sparta, and to Salisbury and Charlotte if time towns are the capitals, respectively. We would regret to panic the soda water market here in Statesville, for Messrs. Charlie Prouest. Jim Cox aud Bill Phipher are friends of ours aud handle soda water themselves; but bus iness is business, and if they can't af ford to give it way for the sake -of makiug business brisk, that would be their misfortune. With the scruples as to these friends stined, we see uoth- -l ing between tne liancliuark and pros- penty except the lack of the money necessary to make the cash payment on this marvelous fouutaiu (send for catalogue) and to buv a jew chemicals such as are needed to generate steam, and we are satisfied some of the drug stores woul4 trust us for these.

Danger of Acquiring the Morphine Habit. Professor Dniardin Beaumentz, of Paris, France, in a recent lecture at the Cochin Hospital, l'aris, on the treament of nervous diseases, said": I need not here speak of the advantages and dangers of morphine. I have manv times discussed this subject, showing that if morphine is an ad mirable analgesic medicament, it is also the most dangerous ot all uy reason of the fact that the patient be comes accustomed to and dependent ou the morphine injections, and ends in becoming a niorphiomaniac. It may be affirmed that morphionaa nia has become one of the vices of the day, and we almost lay it down as a rule that any patient who for thirty consecutive days takes morphine in- Li on)jnie habit, even when the I i . ,i i n oMmn wi ever alter ne a victim io svmptoms of the primary maiauy snail have completely disappeared; ami it will henceforth "lie a matter of no lit tle difficulty to cure the morphine habit, now become a disease more re- bullions than the affection for which these injections were first ordered. The number of morphiotuaiiiacs in creases every day, and this deplorable vice exists in aif classes of society. Unfortunately, our own profession is not exempt from this abuse, and I kuow quite a number of medical com t ens who have lieeii and are still victim i of morphine. The Shepherd's Dof-A Lost Child. A shepherd who inhabited one of those valleys or glens which intersect the Grampian Mountains, in one of his excursions to look after his flock, happened to carry along with him one of his children, a boy three years old. This is not unusual practice among the Highlanders, who accustom their chil dren, from the earliest infancv. to en dure the rigors of the climate. After traversing his pastures for some time, attended by his dog, the shepherd found himself under the necessity of ascending a summit at some distance, t-5 have a more extensive view of his range. As the ascent was too fatiguing for the child, he left him on a small plain at the bottom with strict injunc tions not to stir from it till his return. Scarcely, however, had he gained the summit, when the horizon was dark ened by one of those impenetrable mists which frequently descend so rapidly amidst these mountains, as, in the spjice of a few minutes, almost to turn day to night. The anxious father instantly hasten ed back to find his child, but, to hi own intrepidation, unfortunately miss ed his way in the descent. After a fruitless search for many hours, he dis covered that he had reached the bot tom of the valley, and wasnear his own cottage. To renew the search that night was equally fruitless and dangerous; he was therefore compelled to go home, although he had lost both his child and his dog, who had attend ed him faithfully so manv years Next morning, by break of day, the shepherd, accompanied by a band of his neighbors, set out in search of his child; but after a day spent in fruitless fatigue, he was at last compelled to descend from the mountains. On his returning home, he found that bis dog. which he bad lost the day before, had . i j a . rr of cake, had gone off again, ror i .i P . j several successive days the shepherd re- i i l i l i j j uewed his search, for his child, and . . i j. . . j been home, ana on receivmg a piece of cake, had gone off again. For t still, on returning home disappointed in the evening, he found that the dog bad been home, and on receiving his usual allowance of cake, had instantly disappeared. Struck with these singu lar circumstances, he remained at home J J 1 1 one day and when the dog, as asual, departed with his usual piece of cake, he resolved to follow him, and find out the procedure. The dog led the way to a cataract at some distance from the spot where the shepherd had left his child.

How frequently the inquiry as to he cause of a fire is followed by the answer, "defective 'chimner." The propot'on of conflagrations bus started 4s very large and of course there is a reason far it. Why should chimneys be defective? Above all other parts of a building they should be constructed with especial carb, for njon their per fection depends not only the happi ness of a sinele famiiv. whose hoiao is there all, but the' welfare of thousands. and the safety of human life. Ihe maintenance of large fires inside of i nflammhle-"riabitations, though so familiar as to be seldom thought of as such, is certainly not the least of the many risks and dangers to which humanity must necessarily be subject ed. It is to be expected that advanc ing civilization is constantly lessening these dangers to a minimum. ihe car stove is going and all methods of locomotion are continually undergoing improvement. The defective chimney has been with us long enough' When bricks are burnt there are ways more or less on the outside and ends of the pile that do not receive sufficient heat. They are only half burned. They are called soft brick. Being inferior in quality they are of course cheaper, and too many of them find their way . into the chimneys, whether the result of the mason's cu pidity or the owner's foolishness, var ies in different instances. These soft bricks are subjected to heat during the day time; as night comes on the fires go down and so does the mercury, per haps way below zero. The cheap bricks begin to crack and crumble. A little rain or melted snow gets into the cracks and freezes. Before very long these half-burnt blocks of clav have so crumbled that an enterprising spark is enabled to light upon a stud or the , ,. . 10 , . . . .j boarding of a closet iust outside of a .. .i r4, ' , chimney.
