Blowing Babbles. -bt EtrnsxE h.- srjrnaT. As 1 loitered through the village, I Saw children at their play, Blowing bubbles in the sunshine From a penny pipe o' clay. I had passed them With a greeting, But their gladva charmed me so, TMt I turnetAwnch tte babbies i Sailing thfbucn the summer's glow. Though thy sewned not half so brilliant - As in bavboo4 I had blown, i When the imallst of my, bubbles ' Held a riipbow ojita oo, Yt my little friends prew1 merry liseach tinted; air-blown toy Floated upward, and the baby Clapped its chubby hands for joy. And the girl-r-ber arms outstretching, As if begging them to stay Said, '"I'm sorry, oh, so sorry, They so quickly fade away !' But her brother looked right manly As be shouted with delight, "It is easy, very easy, To blow others juit as bright !" Aad he blew with such good fortune That, before his task was done, You might count a score of bubbles Floating gaily in the sun. Then her eyes with pleasure sparkled, As the crystal phantoms played, -4nd she quite forgot her sorrow That they each so quickly fade. And she paused where I was resting In the shadow of a yew, And in tones of laughing wonder cried, ' Can't you blow bubbles, tool" As I knew not hew to answer, There I left themat their play, Blowing bubbles in tbe sunshine, From a penny pipe of clay. Trample's Mistake. Mr. Alfred Trample had been married four years, and daring that time bad led a happy life that i8, as happy a life as a man like him- self could lead. 'Alfred, dear,' said Mrs. Tram ple one morning as they were at breakfast, cn't you come homo earlier to-day V 'Why, Nellie V he asked in sur prise. 'Because I aca so lonely without you. If you were a perfect stran ger to rae I could scarcely see less of you.' 'Oh,' he exclaimed, laoghiDg, 'is that alt V 'Isn't it a great deal to be de prived of your society ?' 'i wish I could st8y with you, Nellie,' he said; 'but I can't. I'm compelled to work hard. 1 have no time to lose from my business. When I make a .fortune and retire, which I hope will be in a few years, I wift 8cay with you all the time.' 'Don't you think you might spare more time from your business, if you were to make the effort V she asked. 'You are doing Tery well, arid I think you might give more time to your children and me, even if you made less money.' 'Nonsense, Nellie. Ii cannot be done. 1 do not mean to work all my life, and I mu3t slave ngw in order to enjoy in the future. Don't you see !' 'No, Alfred, 1 don't see. I think it is your duty not to neglect your family for ihe sake of making jour business more profitable.' But I do not neglect you. I am working hard for you. It is as great a privation for me to be away from you so much as it can possibly be to you. I know what I am do in o-, and I think it is for the best.' And so the conversation ended. Mr. Trample was not so rare an exception to the general rule of humanity as some may think. There are few of us who have not at some time met such a man, a good, kind-hearted, liberal man, but one who could not take the time from hi3 business to devote to ther equally important af fairs one who regarded the amassing of wealth as the chief ob ject of a man's existence. One night, as Mr. Trample came home from his business, tired and worn out, his wife said to him : 'Gracie has been very sick to day, Alfred.' Not very sick, I hope," he said, anxiously. Yed, she has, and I'm afraid she is growing worse. Can't yon come home earlier to-morrow.' 'Not to-morrow. It's a very busy season, and I'm hard at work. Besides, to-morrow I shall be away from the store all day, attending to a matter that promises to pay hand somely.' The next morning little Gracie was evidently worse. Her cheeks were flushed with fever, and there were alarming symptoms about the throat. I wish you would stay at home to-day, Alfred,' said Mrs. Trample. 'i can t do it, my dear, he re plied, emphatically. 'Your clerks might do your work for you to-day ; or yon might even afford to lose one day, in order to stay with your sick child.' 'Gracie does not seem to me to be sick enough for that,' he said, hesitatingly, for he felt the force of what his wife had said, 'it is very important that I should not be away from my business to-day. If Graeie, grows worse, yon can send for me.' Me went off, and his wife was forced to be content with this. It Thursday,. was tp9 basy n4 very profitable day to him. His iralei were larger aad his. profits better than they had been on any day during the season. He was. oat en the street at , an early hour, and was going busily untit night, ' Scarcely taking time to swallow-a brief lunch.. 2n starting out in the morning be; was so engrossed in business that he for got all about Gracie, and neglected to leave word at his stow where he could be Joaad in case be sboald be sent Uu him was aftesin when he got through ttai business, and then, chancing to remanaber Gracie, he decided hot to go o the store, but tor keep on home t once. Hev reached hie feottso&tboat 10 o'clock. A terrible-silence enemed- to him to reign through it a3 he en tered. The parlor door was open, and through it he could see several ladies sitting in the room, and oould hear them talking in low tones. 'Poor thing !' he heard one of them say, 'she takes it hard. And to think her husband is not here to comfort her!' The words struck upon his heart like a knife, and, with a feeling of terror, ho sprang up the steps to wards his chamber. The gas was burning very dimly in the room, but there was light enough for him to see the pale waxen face of his first-born lying on the little bed, dressed for the grave, and his wife kneeling by her side in an agony of grief. He threw himself down by her side, and groaned in bitter anguish. When they were both calmer, his wife told him all. Grade's sick ness had developed itself into dip theria in its worst and most rapid form. Messages had been sent re peatedly for him, but none of the clerks knew where be had gone, and all efforts to find him had been in vain. The little girl had . died about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and almost her last words had been : Won't papa come?' Not a word of reproach passed Mrs. Trample's lips, but her hus band saw his mistake now, and was paying a fearful price for it. Though be might not have been able to save little Gracie, he could have been with her when she died, and would not then, aa now, ha7e been forced to confess that he had neglected her. 27e was terribly punished, but the chastening was not ineffectual. After Grade's death he rare more time to his family, and found that he still had enough to conduct a thriving and Iterative business, and when this change had taken place, he also found that he was a better, as well as a happier man. Hew to be Handsome. Most people like to be handsome. Nobody denies the greater power which any person may have who has a good face, nd j who attracts you by his good looks," even: before a word has been spoken'. -And we see all sorts of devices in men and women to improve their good looks rpaints and -washes, and every kind of cosmetics, including hair oil. Now, not every, one can have good features. They are as God made them ; but almost every one can look well, especially with good health. It is hard to give rules in a very short space, but briefly, these will do : JCeep clean, wash freely with cool water. All the skin wants is leave to act freely, and it will take care of itself. Ita thousands of air holes must not be plugged up. Eat regularly and simply. The stomach can no more work all the time, night aBd day, than a horse ; ic must have regular -work nd reg ularrest. Good teeth are a help to good looks. Brush them with a soft brush, especially at night. Go to bed with the mouth clean. Of course, to have white teeth, it is needful to let tobacoo alone. Every woman knows that. And any pow der or wash for the teeth should be simple. Acids may. . whiten the teeth, but they take off the enamnel or injure them. : leep in a cool room, in pure air. No one can have clears skin that breathes bad air. But, more than all, in order to look well, wake up the mind and soul. When the mind is awake, the dull sleepy look passes away from the eyes. I do not know that the brain expands, but it seems to. Think, read not trashy novels, but books that have something in them. Talk with people who know something, hear lectures and learn by them. An exchange thus soliloquizes : The wise daughter is the pride of her father, yea, her mother also doth delight in her, but the foolish maiden bringeth sorrow. She hang eth on the front. gate; she. tippeth up her hat over her left ear; she bangeth her hair "Her eye is full of old Nick. - She glanceth over her left shoulder when she promenades the street. ' 27er handkerchief is also seen. Then the dry goods clerk says, 'Ha ! haj 2e smileth to himself; he nxaketh mistakes in the measurement of cahco.

We of the central belt, with its clay and sand and mica, can compete with neither and are confined to ono solitary breed of cattle for really successful breeding of thorough-bred stock. This would be ' a misfortune, in deed, were it not that generous na ture has concentrated all the finest qualities of the larger breeds and added a moiety beside in th9 breed alloted and adapted to us. The gentle, affectionate," graceful and ! glorious Jerseys, whose golden but ter and delicious cream exceed in richness, flavor and value, that of any breed inhabiting the earth and feeding upon its green pastures. Bred with jealous care for four nun -dret years, upon the Island of the British Channel, whose name they bear, and imported thence at a cost ot From $o00 to 2,000 per head, it is not strange that an association of importers and breeders has been formed to preserve the purity of their blood, by the registration of the name of every animal, and of its ancestors, and of every sale and transfer from one owner to snother, upon a register kept for the purpose by one of its most correct and re liable members. It will of course be presumed that a breed so valuable to the ag ricultural interests and wealth of a large portion of North Carolina would meet with more than ordinary efforts on the part of the State Ag ricultural Society to preserve the absolute purity of its blood and greatly increase their number by offering every facility for its exhis bition, by the award of numerous and valuable prizes for the greatest excellence, and especially for es tablishing and enforcing a rigid rule, excluding from competition, all stock of owners who cannot, or will not comply with the regulations of the Importer's and Breeder's As sociation for the preservation of the pnrity of the blood, by the registrar tion of each animal, and each trans fer, in the herd register, and the production of the recorded pedigree before the committee on awards. No association for the promotion of ag riculture, dependent for its maiAte nance upon a community of intelli gent people, could or ought to rise above the dignity of a farce, that failed in these- conditions, and es pecially in the last. In pursuance of this presumption we find on page 15 of "Rules and Regulations! of the North Carolina State Agricultural Society for 1877,'-' the following published regulation on the subject of the exhibition of thorough-bred stock : j "When making an entry of thor ough-bred stock of any kind, the party applying will be required to furnish the Secretary authentic pedigrees. The pedigrees will 'be passed upon by the proper commit tees." , Of course it will be presumed that this rule was rigidly enforced. Ev ery principle of honor and good faith among men demand it. The per manence of the Fair and success of thorough-bred stock raising is great ly dependent upon it. It is a sol emn contract, which exhibitors have a right co enforce against the asso ciation, provided it be not bankrupt in purse as well as honor. Let us see how it was observed. The author of this article wa3 the only exhibitor of thorough-shred Jerseys who literally complied with the above cited rule ; and with per haps one exception, his was the first specimen of the breed and sex exhibited upon the grounds. He exhibted four cows and one heifer under two years, in competition for the respective premiums. The heifer, "Kaatskill," though not in calf, is the finest animal in the herd, is about eighteen months old,' her akin is as yellow as Guinea gold ; her escutcheon corresponds with the first claes of M. Guenon, and in every point she is a high class Jersey. Yet the premium for which she competed was awarded to a sucking calf, without pedigree, the owner of which was a member - of the Executive Committe and Super visor of Department "C,''i specially charged with the selection of judges of stock, and the enforcement of the rule' above cit ' -! t ' : .k:; Again, the premium for the best Jersey cow was awarded to: an ani mal without record, pedigree Or cer tificate of transfer, V the owner' of whioh wu a member of the Execu tive Committee, Supervisor of De partment 'C, and specially charged with the selection otihe judges of stocky audhe, enforcement of the rule above 'cited", v j 5 ' Again,' the premium for the best Jersey bull' under j three, and over ' two years of ago was ;awjded.to a bull without-record or -pedigree, with, no distinctive marklj;0r char acteristics of thoreogh-bred Jersey whose horns resembled, jj.thse cT an . old jield, steer, the owner of which ; wa t a swenber of tbe ."

I may be here permitted to digress for the purpose; of illui- trating the exactneta r, with which-. '' rule . may j be enforced when the wrong ox gets gored by f its viola ;., tion. A valued .premium -was - of- ' : fered for the best selection of How-. ; ers for church decoration, in a vase. ., . Mark the words n a vase.

Technically, it was right ; morally, it was somewhat .attenuated, if not quite thin; : . ' !' . . j .J- 5 . But to return to Department 'C,' and the Jersey cattle. The premit um lor tne best v Jersey bull over three years ofX'aie? for which Mr. Gatling's fine ball was competing, was awarded' to a bull without rec ord or pedigree, whose thorough : breeding is doubted, if not scouted . by the best judges, and was regard ed as of so little lvalue as to have been given away jby.his late, owner ' to get rid of him. ""V T"" , Again,pMr. Blakely had on ex hibition 'The Duke of Norfolk,' the best bull of any age or breed, whose pedigree might have been had for . the asking ; one of the finest, if not ' the finest butter bull ever owned in North Carolina, "and JohnT Gatling had on exhibition the best bull of any age or breed without pedigree ; yet the sweepstakes premium was awarded to a mere mass of flesh, the product of a Jersey bull on a , humpbacked Bramin cow; as worth less fj)rj breeding v purposes as a Texas steers and valuable ) only for' bull-beef or the compost heap. - ' It is a fit subject Of remark,' if not of criticism, hat the" premium heretofore mentioned for the best Jersey cow or heifer! under three years of. age, was a package of garden seed, while that for the same, one year younger, was ; half a ton of soluble : bone phosphate, and a spring brace. The former . was awarded to a cow in full milk, and the latter to a suokiog calf,;' whereby it would appear that suck ing calves are some twenty' times more valuable than milch cowl, but for the fact that our friend the su pervisor aforesaid, had a sucking calf, but not a three year old cow. Querryj: 2Tad ! the ownership of the competing animals been reversed how would it have been with- the premium? Eh jj ': Aa to the rule above cited, it is answered that it was rescinded in ' executive session a month before the Fair, and bo published in the newspapers. The first1 may be true or not1 the truth of the second I deny, and challenge proof. If true, why was it omitted in: the supple mental premium list issued only the day before the Fair? r; V,' It is admitted that this letter is somewhat lata for hope of redress, but redress is not- its purpose. A ' communication' setting, forth , the facts hero recited was handed to the committe immediately after the Fair, whereupon, in,, the nature of red r ess, it is said that a resolution : was unanimously adopted to insert , the rulo quoted in the regulations for the 7te r,, which is very comforting, indeed, considering that . it has! always beenv there, and as : often jbeen violated. , , - Whether hon- i ored in the breach or the observance ; in future, it is not likely to; affect . the rights or interest of Yoorg truly, , A.
