There is wide difference
between mischief and j mean
ness. But mischief is close
akin to it, when it injures any
body of hurts thtdr feelings, or
breaks the rules or the laws.

v. as at stake, and I got me an
other lamp aud went to writing.
I wanted to laujh asf bad as
thfy did, but I wouldn't. That
was four years ago, and Mrs.
Arp is not done laughing at it
yet, whenever it is alluded to.
I believe it would do her good
to see me bump the floor and
kick over a lamp about, once a
week. . . 1
I was ruminating about this
because my boy came home
from school ahead of time and
gat down before the fire solemn
aud sad. I was writing by the
window and wondered what
was the matter. For a while
he never moved or spoke, but
suddenly he looked at me and
said, in a pitiful voice : Papa,
was you ever suspended?"
"Suspended?" said I. V I don't
understand you suspended
how ?" "Suspended ! from
school," said be. "Why no,"
said I. "What makes you ask
that question?" He choked up
and said : "Well, I'm suspend
ed and so is Tom Milneir." "Js
it possible ?" said I, as I laid
down my pen. "What have you
Then he told me how he and
Tom had got to throwing water
at each other while the pro
fessor was in the other room
and how he missed Tom and
the whole - dipper full struck
the black board and i put out
the sum and ran down upon the
floor, and the professor came in
just at the wrong time and ask
ed wha did it, and suspended
him and Tom and told .them to
take their books and go home.
I felt greatly relieved, of course,
tor l saw that it was miscniei
and not meannesss, put I never
said anything and j looked
solemn and resumed my writing.
Now, it distresses my children
to see me distressed! and that
is a-good sign. As 'long as a
boy loves his parents, and is
troubled when they are troub
led, there is hope for that boy.
After a while he said t' "Papa,
what must I do about it?" I
don't know, sad I. "until I see
the professor. Not long ago
we had a case of snspeasion,and
the board refused to take him
back. I don't know what they
will do with you and -Tom. I
expect you have been trying the
professors patience for some
time. You are not bad boys
and are good scholars, but your
disposition to mischief has
troubled him and set a bad ex
ample. The other boys are
talking about you, and say that
the prof essor is partial to you
and Tom, and I'm afraid he is ;
I am glad that he stopped your
mischief." , j
But it came out all right.
The boys were not suspended,
and they went back the next
morning and apologized, and
now everything is calm and
serene. The bovs must conform
to the rules. If one bey throws
water, all the boys have the
right to throw water, and that
wouldn't do and a sensible .boy
knows it. Let every boy act
upon principle. They may be
tempted tc tell a little etory to
get out of a scrape. But it is
best to tell the truth. The
truth is the thing the biggest
thing I know of. If I hid a
great business that would give
employment to a thousand boys,
and I had to go About and
select them, the first question I
wold ask wold be "Does he al
ways tell the truth ?' -1 wish
the boys and girls could realize
how much anxiety they give
us. Here are 400 going to school

this a good deal, for It affects

teachers and the moral training
goes right along with the school

who gets no more education
than can be had in our schools'

beginner in life.
St. Valentire's day has come
again and the good old fellow
does seem to have some influ
encti upon the bipeds, for our
youug people are mating and
marrying all around us. That
is all right, and we love to see
it going on, for it is accordance
to nature, Most everybody
takes some stock in the mar
riage of the youug folks. Even
the old bachelors and old maids
wake up aud smile and bid
them good speed. They are
lakiug a great risk, we know,
tut it is best to take it even the
venture is a failure. It is not a
failure. If it is a f Ulure it is
their'fault. I never knew an
unhappy marriage that was not
made so by one or both of the
parties. It is a sad thing to
marry in haste and repent at
leisure. It don't pay to marry
by the month. I never hear of
hasty and inconsiderate mar
riages but what I think of those
sad and serious lines of Tom
Hood:
'Oh verr. verv dreary la the room
Where love, domestio love, no longer
nestles ;
But smitten by the common stroke, of doom,
The corpse ues on me trestles,"
The corpse of conjugal love
is an awful corpse. Not long
ago a married woman asked me
for $10. She said her husband
had money, but she wouldn't
ask him for a dollar if she
never got any. v There is a
corpse iu that house. The hus
band is stingy and tyrannical
the wife is proud and sensitive
and so, love got sick soon after
the marriage and lingered and
languished and died. A man
ought not to force his wife to
ask him for money. It does
humiliate a woman. It maes
her feel her helplessness, her
dependence, and smothers her
equality. The hnsband should
anticipate her wants if he is
able. The money or the bank
account ought to be at her dis
posal at all times, for she will
ipend less of it foolishly than
he will. A- very considerate
wife told me that it was her.
greatest trial to ask her hnsband
for money though he was al
ways kind and never refused,
ALd l suspect there is many a
good wife who is humiliated in
that Bame way. It is St. Val
entine'a season now, and a fit
time for the married - folks to
mate again and renew ther
promises. What a- pity that
love should get sick so soon and
turn into a . corpse a corpse
that cannot be buried but stays
in the bona by day and by night.
From such a. corpse, good Lord
deliver us. Bill. Asp.

Mr. G. R. Winchester, who
lives 7 miles west of of Monroe,
gives ns the result of an experi
meht which he made upon his
farm last year. He planted
four rows of cotton, each seven
ty feet long and adjoining, one
of which he manured with
stable manure, at the rate of a
load to the acre, one with acid,
one with marl phosphate, and
one. was not manured at all.
The following was the results
of the experiment: The row
manured - with stable manure
yielded 10 pounds; the one
with acid 6 J pounds; the one
with marl phosphate 7 pounds
and the row not manured 7
pounds. The moral, of this
would seem to be, make your

THE STATE AS A FABMER.
The State of North Carolina,
for, by, through, and on behalf
of the penitentiary, has under
taken to run a large farm down
on the Roanoke River. Mr. H.
J. Pope, general surpervisor,
says that the quarters are
about ready. There r are 195
hands op. the farm, 70 on the
Halifax side and '126 on

will work 75 horses, will plant
l.ooo acres in cotton, sou acres
in corn, 400 hundred acres in
clover, 400- hundred acres in
oats, and have now 108 acres in
wheat, besides some in rye and
clover already in.
That looks very nice onf pa
per, but we cannot help fearing
that the move will result in
magnificent failure, we re
member it has been said the
State could not' build and run
the W. li. C. Railroad, and we
think it requires more sense to
operate a farm than a railroad

failed to successfully run their
own farms, and we fear some
of them will be selected to "su

believe the move is a mistake,

CROSS-BRED POULTRY FOB THE
MARKET. -
The most successful market
poultry is that which is obtained
by proper crosbing. And what
branch of business pays so well
as that which, supplies the ta
bles of the rich and poor ?
There la profit in breeding fan
cy fouls after a reputation has
been achieved, bnt that costs
money , and time. . - Market
poultry needs no reputation.
All it needs la good common
sense, and enough experience
to run the business. The av
erage farmer has these. ;
' The writer has been Beverly
criticised by some fancy breed
ers for his stand on crosses, but,
as his aim is to benefit the mar-
ket, he feels justified in his
position. Besides, there is
plenty of. room for both fancy
and market poultry. We need
the fancier by all mean. We
cannot produce crosses without
pure-bred?. There are ,two
great points desired in breeding
poultry an increased prod no
tion of eggs, and improvement
for the table. These are the
igitimate grounds which justi
fy croes-breedingT In crosses
we combine quality with size,
as, for example, Houdan on
Cochin or Brahma, or . Cochin
on Dorking. This later cross
s after the English fashion.
They take a ' good two-year
old Cochin cock and mate with
six Dorking heriabf a vaar oldli
i he pullets, ol the cross . are
next season mated with game,
and their produce is then mar
keted. Thus they gain size
from the Cochin; and quality
from the Dorking. By- the
game cross very little in
size is sacrificed, while an
other firstrate cross, in point of
quality, is added. An English
man, referring to this cross, once
said: "The flesh is white as
snow, and as savory as any al -dermanic
gourmand could de
sire." It must be understood,
however that nothing is gained
by mating the progeny. Cross
bred birds should never be
mated together. . .When we
make the cross we have the
ideal of - our experiment : be-
yoiid that there is a downward
tendency.
We do not believe any great
success can be obtained in mat
ing for increased egg -produc-
ion. That is, no cross can be
secured that will give a higher
egg record than that which
some of our noted strains now
have. It is principally for an
improvement of table quality
that we recommend inter-breed
ing. Ex,

hid credit was made to sustain his

bid that I sboud ever take pleasure
in the conquest and degradation
of my country in the 'introduc

which introduces the profits of the
capital into the Yankee pockets.
We need now in North: Carolina
two men: One who will wri'x
the history of the Beconstfuction
and Destruction of the Yankee's
carpet-bag dollar an-l another
who will write out the half fulfilled
prophesy of the conquest of his
capital.
I have no objection to capital
from any place or country; if it
comes oo our own terms, -to stay
and to upbuild us and help to
maintain our institutions. But I
oppose all capital which comes in
a 8iirit of conquest. It is as much

leaves in its wake more disasters,
The twelve thousand business
failures in 1889, the climax of their
ever increasing ratio for a score of

ruin which has been wrought; their
liabilities of a hundred and forty

part of the liabilities created.

taught that we "live by faith," that
love "works bv faith," mat by

It is no wonder that the old sage,

is a fatal defect of character J' It
is no wonder that a beneficent
Creator distributed everywhere in

Faith without credit is dead. Cred
it is faith at work; but the Federal
Government, under the control of

out of existence. It is dead. We
can oniy work his fai ;h on bis

could not issue a dollar upon it.

water hole, there he slacked
his thirst and found the road
again. He had still some thir

nothing to carry water in. Of
course it would have been mad
ness to attempt to travel 30
miles ou foot under a North

so his ready invention came to
his aid. He had been horrified

He went Lack and got the skull,
plugged up the eye holes with
clay and filled It with water,
He then tramped that 30 miles
with the water contained in the
skull. Can any novelist imag
