A Warning to Bashful Men,
He sat beside her near the stove,
A prey to bnshfulness;
To her bespoke no words of love,
Not sought her hand to press.
No maiden ever had been wooed

For silently he sat and chewed
The knob upou his cane.
Sometimes he at the ceiling gazed,
Sometimes his glance would stray
To her; but when her eyes she raised,
looked another way.

HOW AX ALLIANCE AGENT CON PUCTS HIS
BUSINESS A PRETTY STORY.
Lenoir Tojiic
One of the prettiest stories we have
leard iu a -morrttr of Sundays is that
oiie, picketl up on the streets, of the
decent manner iu which the Caldwell
alliance men trimmed down a fellow
y the name of Wilson S. Otho Wil
son at a secret meeting held 111 the
court house Wednesday night. His
ostensible business was to show samples
of goods furnished by the State agent
W. H. Worth but his secret mission
perhaps self-constituted and doubt
less unauthorised by the central
office - was to stir up strife among
democrats and, if possible, to organize
a fight in each county against Senator
Vance. He is the same bird of gaudy
plumage, who has gotten so much cheap
advertising for his fruit nursery neai
Raleigh out of the press of the State
and who was so well castiged by farmer
James Norwood of Orange, when Iw
noeiied the Vance resolutions in the
Durham Congressional Convention.
He claims to lie a democrat but yve
heard it generally charged at Durham
that he has been for years a sorehead
and an assistant Republican But it

is no Democrat now. He predicted

read j market at. paying prices for my
produce."
Now this farmer is doing 110 more
than you or I can do if we will put
the same vim and amount of brains in
our businiSi that he does.
There is a great advantage to the
farmer to have something to sell at all
lmes. The reader may scoff the idea,
but I believe that little "dribs' have
ruined more farmers than great thing
The farmer can see readily the danger
of great debts, but does not notree lit
tie ones 1 know, to have something
for market of choice quality requires
care and forethought; really it requires
more forethought than labor. 1 have
watched the markets, and have seen
produce of choice quality find a ready
sale, when it w.is glutted with produce
of common quality.
But some men are too proud to
market small articles of produce, some
have not time, they think, while others
are too indolent and neglectful of busi
ness. Most every farmer has to visit
his town once a week to purchase
something for his family. Many rath
er keep an account at the storo than
to be troubled with small markets.
1 know a man who is making farming'
pay, who always carries something to
sell evey time he goes to town. Un
public days lie takes a nice bucket ot
butter on one arm and a basket ot eggs

more aristocratic neighbor goes too,
but is too proud to carry anything to
sell, therefore he is compelled to pay
cash or go on "tick." Another goes,
but has 110 time to take anything to
sell, but goes and -spends titer day buy
ing his tamily supplies' on credit.
Both these men lost ihe day us well as
the first one did, but returned home
two or three dollars deeper in debt,
and at the end of the year, on deliver
ing their tobacco-are greatly surprised
to find their accounts nearly equal or
more than their tobacco brought them,
while the first man has nearly as much
tobacco us they, but his little markets
pa idiis way, and therefore his tobacco
money goes into his pocket, to meet
losses and softeii hard times.
The farmer could and should buy by
baiter almost entirely; the little crops

mers that do not keep a tew cows una
farm fowls, that, if they are anyways
cared for will give a surplus of butter
and eggs. If there is no market tor
milk it can be given to the pigs, which
can be brought into market at paying
figures. A good poultry yard well car

log Ins grain circles of equal length
upon each side, and will lie perfectly
flat, when seasoned.
When selecting the iuuilier for a
tool chest or some other tine job, nick
out boards which show that they came,
as near as possible, from the centre "of
the log. A method is in use which
compensate for t his tendency to curl
in seasoning. This is known as quar
ter sawing, and quartered oakrof which
so much is said sit present, if siwn
by this process.
It, consists in cutting out lioards
radially from the center to the outside
of the log. Suppose a Tog to l)C split
into f our pieces, eaclv of these pieces
is sawn diagonally so that the grain
rings run through, instead of tire cir
cles running into, part way through
and out upon the same side ot the
board.
t) 1. rL.u' sawn lumber wilt- not warp
. 1 1 1 . 1 . 1
in drying, neitiier yvui it yieiu so reau
ily to changes of weather. It h is the
disadvantage of being more expensive,
as in. sawing eac 1 q tarter a narrow
I) ar.l is tiivit taken off, then one a little
yvider. The boards increase in width
until t he middle of the quarter is rech
e l, making the widest board equal to
halt the diameter of the tree. The
narrow boards may be glued up into
wide stripr;, but t hat shows considerable
sap. and they cannot bo used in some
kinds of work.
To prove' that the circles or sap
rings cause curling dining the season
ing process, it is only necessary to take
such 'juried boards and wet thefcon-
IiiJ!arVd side, or apply, heat to the convex
side. If ach or lnth be done, the
boards will straighten out forthwith.
This method is often taien advantage
of by carpenters in working twisted or
warped boards. Ihe seasoning pro-

fruit will, a-good portion of the time
produce something, j either green or
dried, for market. It tne farmer win
provide these things his wife will, and
be glad of the chance, have it in mark
etable shape every time you want to go
to town. In fact, I believe, it would ne
well for tlie farmer to market at le;ist
twice a week, unless he lives too far,
whether his family need supplies or
not. He can thus gain a surplus for
"a rainy day.' Every farmer ought to
try to bring his farm to produce some
article outside of the staple crops, and
so instead of always going in debt, pay
as he goes, he would have no need of
complaint, or feel a depression and
hard times. Thus. Vnul in Southern

Manchester, Eng., August 10. We
have just been passing through a most
importKiit collapse in raw American
cotton. During the past fortuight or
so spot quotations have fallen d. per
pound, mid August September futureS
80 points, that is, 3w4d. K?r pound.
This is the greatest fall in so short a
period since the days of the civil war in
the United States. Already failures are
anauneed in Liverpool, one firm having
stopped with liabilities to the extent of
S1U,(KX). Spinners, in the meantime,
are looking on. They are glad ot the
collapse of an artificial cotton market,
but, on the whole, would have prvfornd
the decline to have come later on in the
season. Mot spinners, as previously

are well bought in cotton to the end of
the season. It would, indeed, lie
strange if they were not, after the ex

of the spring trade. Henceforth at the
end of August 7 working, days includ

Oldham operatives, the mills being en

This means a largely lessened con
sumption of cotton, aud, 00 the other
hand, a largely lessened production of

The great stoppage just refered-to will,

likely to be an early one and also a
