Til for Tat
Yonng Men ud Maidens.
It is a common And startling re
mark nowadays that young men
cannot afford to marry; If this lie
true, society is m great danger.. If
only the rich can take to them
selves wives, not only will the race
dwindle, but it will dwindle through
the v-cions channels. I am in
clined to think that the aphorism
is satanic, and therefore a lie. I
do not believe that young men can
not afford to marry, any more than
they could not afford to, fifty or a
hundred years ago. 1 believe that
society, with all its ingenuity in the
devil's service, cannot so order
things as to prevent the honest, un
ion of young men and maidens, and
a married life. God has not con
stituted marriage as the normal
condition of humauity, and then
rendered the condition an impossi
bility to the mass of mankind. The j
order to Noah's posterity, "Be fruit-1
ful and multiply," was no special j
appointment of the rich as the in
heritors of the earth. God has no
respect for persons, and if it were
possible to conceive, of partiality in
God, we should say that he leaned
to the side of the poor. The Scrip
tures take it for granted . that ev
ery man has a wife and every wo
man has a husband, exceptis excipi
endti. Any idea that resists this
sexual sympathy is perverse and
pestiferous. ,
I have seen many cases of this
supposed can't-afford-to-marry dis
ease, anil examined many, and al
ways found symptoms proved an
other complaint altogether. The
diagnosis had been utterly false.
It 'was a don't-want-to-marry trou
ble that was affecting the patient.
This was the story: Formosa had
dwelt in marble halls and clothed
herself in acres of purple or fine
linen. Marriage with her means a
thousand a year. So I look at my
two thousand, and can't afford to
marry. Formula-wise, and truth
wise, it is this ; Foolish girls wish
to live idle, pampered and faskiou
able lives, and foolish young men
are seeking after the foolish girls.
In such a complication, marriage
loses its meaning; and it is very
natural for "ing men to say,7 "I
can ord to marry." The truth
is he can't afford to marry after the
style aforesaid, and he does not
wish to marry in a sensible style, to
which his two thousaud would say
Amen. But there are others than
foolish girls in the world. There
are girls of simple tastes, of modest
mien, industrious habits, and un
selfish hearts. You are not apt to
find them in the highways or in
conspicuous places. They make
the best wives In the world, while
the Saratoga thing makes the worst.

The Snow Hill '-Telegraph" gives
the following experience of a gen
tleman who lives in Greue county,
where the "No Fence" law prevails,
that is, each man fences tys stock
instead of enclosing his entire body
of land with a costly fence : y
"Mr. T. 11. Best says that four
years ago the expense of keeping
up his fence was six thousand new
rails, 860 ; 3 years ago 5,000 now
rails, 8o0 ; two years ago 4,000 new
rails, 840; last year nothing. And
that his fence assessment is only
821.77. This year will not need a
new rail. He kept one hog in a
pen and others of the same litter
ran in a woods pasture, and all
were given the same amount of
corn, and th one which was con
fined in the pen weighed fifty
pounds more than the other. He
keeps his cows in a grass pasture,
and they are always fat."
Does Farming Pay!
It does. Who leave money? The
farmers. Who lav up anything?
The farmers. Who support ail
other business? The farmers. Who
have old stockings full of old, rusty
coin? The farmers. Who live
moderately, upon their own hog

are most independent of the chang
es of life, its vicissitudes and up-and-dowus.
The farmers. Why
then do not all farmers prosper and
grow rich? Why ! Well ; that's a
question easier asked than an
swered. The principal reason . is
that farmers generally are not post
ed upon current prices and are not
informed as to the rise and valua
tion of property anel consequently
make bad bargains. This can only
be remedied by their co-operation,
meeting 4ogether iu their clubs and
exchanging views. "Economist."

Fisher House, the most prominent
hotel in the town, is managed by
the three sons of the late Major
Keenan. They are all exemplary
young men and do a most success
ful business. Some time ago a be
witching young ' widow eatne to
board at the hotel, and the three
brothers immediately fell In love
with her. The tsourting was done
very- quietly and unknown to each
other. All three made offers of
marriage and were rejected sever
al times. Fiually Edward, the
eldest, was successful and carried
off the prize.
The announcement was a decid
ed shock to his brothers, particu
larly to James. tlie youngest, who,
as the wedding day approached,
errew melancholv and despondent.
fLast night Edward and the widow-
were married, but James did not
attend the wedding. , He stayed at
home walking, through the halls
aud rooms the entire night , as if
frenzied. All effoits to quiet him
proved unavailing, and it was
thought best to let him alone. This
niorning he held a consultation with
his brothers and withdrew from the
partnership, saying it would-. lull
him if he had to live in the house
after what had happened.

the leniency of his creditors he was
allowed to pay upon this 8400,
Weaving 81,600 to be paid in three

because they may have made a lit
tle money, but upon the other hand
thinks it better to elecrease them.
Of the three plows he had in opera
tion last year, one of them was on
shares, so you may say he has only
farmed with two. With these two
he has made 22 bales of cotton,
seven hundred bushels of corn aud
grain of other kinds, oats and rye
iu abundance. He has paid out of

horses and mules, and the planta
tion under the heaviest fence and
in the besc condition of anv firm
in the county. The lands are only
ordinary and will not produce as
well as some lands on which some
farmers are making failures, and
but for good creditors, would likely
perish to death. In the meantime,
Mr. Dalton lias lost several horses
and mules. His motto is work. It
strikes us that when a. man can pay
for a plantation aud have money

A New Berne Sensation.
How a Negro Maekiage failed
to Succeed. '
A correspondent of the Keruers
ville "News" writes the fotlowiug
from Pi ue Bluff, Ark. : l?he cele
brated Warner Trial that has cre
ated so much excitement through
out Arkansas has just ended. It
was my privilege to be present and
hear a part of the trial. It is truth
fully said to be one of the most
coldblooeled brutal" and tortuous
murders ever committed in Ameri
ca. The particulars as shown bv
the evidence are as ' follows : A
young mau by the name ot Sharp,
aged 17 years, son of a iwidow.ladv
of Illinois, a' mechanic by trade,
came to Arkansas, woi king journey
work. Early m July last he board
ed with a widow lady, a Mrs. Kiug."
On being ready to leave', her house,
he lacked two dollars and fifty
cents of having money enough to
kpay her his board. She said she
believed him to be honest and to
go and when he made tluv money
he could send it to her. With this
arrangement he left her home iu
search of work.- At this time there
was a county convict farm near by,
upon which werq worked men im
prisoned for a short time to work
out fines, &c, and for each prisoner
that any Sheriff or Constable would
arrest, convict and bring to th it
farm, the sheriff or constable would
receive for same 85.00. ,
This being the case, ayoungtlepu
ty iu the neighborhood whose love
for 85.00 was so great that on lxiing
told that Mrs. King's boarder - had
gone and' left his board unpaid,
went at enc and insisted she.
should give biin the authority to go
in pursuit of him. She refused to
do so, but told him she had tohi the
youug man (Sharp) to go, anel when
he had made the money he could
send it to her. The young deputy,
not caring for this, went at once,
without Auy authority and arrested
the young man (Sharp), ami carried
nim before a magistrate and iu
some way testified himself with tes
timony that convicted him. How
thia was done I elo hqc fully under
stand, only it was done without
law ot authority. Sharp was car
ried at once tothis "Convict Farm,"
and put at farm work, ho being a
machinist could (lo little at farm
work. IU was kept on the farm
six days, anel during this time was
whipped tour times in the most
brutal ' maimer. The fourth and
ast time he was whipped was about
4 o'clock in the .'afternoon, when he
gave up mid could go no longer.
Warner rode up inthe field and or
dered five other convicts, white aud
colored, to take him tlown, take off
his clothes and give him fifty.

circles. The leading commercial
newspaper, the "Journal , of Com

morning to indignant letters of de

They assert that the charges are
wntirely unfounded and are manu

the whole cloth. Most of them
speak in unmeasured tones of the
whole iniquitous system 'tf espioii- .
age and blackmail resorted to by
the Custom House authorities, and
openly chargo the iiispectois and
appraisors with corruption. The
importers say that it is idmost a'
solutely necessary to briln the i f
tlcials in order to avoid trouble and
delay iu passing the imst correct
invoices. Thoy complain that they
are aunoyetl by government spie
and, though entirely inmwcnl of
any fraud, are frequently coinpelled -to
pay enormous sums to avoid
long and expensive litigation, anel
charge that the result has been to
discourage importation at Newf
