That is his uiisdhNh iecord. Tor a number of years the teach ti'. have gathered in assemblies iu numbers and culture, that surpass the lepresental ives of any either class ot men and thty know how to entertain one another for a longer time on less money than other folks, the editor not excepted.

It is well, in my opinion, ;o accus-. torn ones' self early to wotk and not to be alraid of any kind of work that is honest and useful. 1 began to support my-elf when 1 was 12 years old and I have never beeu de pendent on others since then. 1 had bad some schooling but not much ; I never went to college,not because 1 did not think a college career might not be a good thing for thos'j who could afford it aud who could make pood use of it, but b-cau.e I did not fee I that it was .vo inn ottant for me as to be earn ing my own living. When I left home to come to Philadelphia ono of my relitives said that I would soon have enough of that, and would be comiug back again. Bat I made up my mind that I would succeed, I had health, the power, of applying myself, and, 1 suppose, a fair amount of brains. 1 came to Philadelphia with $3 iu my goekef. I found board and lodging for 2.50, and then 1 got a place as office boy for 3. That gave me a surplus of 50 cent a week. I did not merely do the wotk that I was absolutely n quired to do, but I did all I could and put my heart into if. I wanted my em ployer to Teel that I was more nse f nl to him than he expected me to be. 1 was not afraid to cleau and swetp and perform what might be consideied by some young gentle men nowadays as menial woik, and therefore beneath them, I did not think it beneath me then, and I should hot now. It it were nec essary I would sweep out my office to-day, and I ofteu cairy bundles. But the other day a youth came to me to ask if I could fihd some em ployment for him. His father had died, and his mother could not sup port him, and he wished to support himself. I looked at him and saw that he had on veiy nice clothes, and kid gloves. I asked him if he would like to w heel a wheelbarrow, lie seemed surprised, and answered that he didn't think he would like that. Then I asked him if he would object to carrying bundles. Well, he wasn't, anxious to carry bundles, either. lid was like many young men, who talk about wantiug work, but, when itcomts to the poiut, they want to do only kid glove sort of wotk. I must say I don't have :iiueh sympith) with that sort of i'eciin . Men are all brothers, and a ii.it i.-i worthy f one b not un rtonhy of any one. The Bible says tii at. it is what cometh out of the moul li tbac dctileth a man. It is not wotk, but character, that can be discreditable. The New Deal and Dumb Institution.

Many people cousider that "bad temper." is entirely voluntary on the part of the person who displays it. As a matter of tact, it is often to a very great extent iuvoluntary, aud no one. is mote augry at it than the bad-tempered person himself. Of cotu se, every one, whether he is born with a bad temper or has ac quired one from habit, or has been visited with one as.the result of (lis ease or injury, should at least try to eouttol it. But his friends should also bear in miud that bad temper nay be, and often is, au affliction to be sympathized with, not an of feuse to be punished A'. Y. Ledger. fc-tate Topics. The Greensboro Record says Mr. J. J. Thornton, of that cuy, has put chased a tract of laud near by with the view of establishing, in connection with other thiugs a nut farm, for which he had just receiv ed one hundred Eugli h walnut trees, two huudred filbert t usb.es, and some fine vatieties of English apples which eou'd uot be abtained in this country. The man who es tablishes a nut farm and gives it his attention can pocket more clear cash troni it wheu the trees get to bearing than could be made trom any other crop growu iu this couu try. The Euglish walnut and the almond have both beeu successfully grown in Gilford couuty near the same locality tn wh'ch Mr. Tboru ton's f irm lies, aud both of these might possibly be made profitable. But ihere are nuts about the suc cessful growth of which there is no doubt, such as the walnut, pecan and a soft, thin shell hickory which grows in that section which many think a belter aud a sweeter nut than (he pecan, and tastes some what like it. Fifteen or twentj' acres planted in these trees would make an indepedent fortune lor a man after they had come into hear ing. IV il. Star. S'rograminc oTSIielby District S. S.

The beginning of the crop season of 1891 was decidedly dbcouraging and affords a noteworthy contrast with the conditions prevailing dur ing the same season ot the preced ing year. Continued cloudy weath er, with an excess ot rain-fall dur ing Jauuary, February and March, prevented farmers from doing out door work of any kind. The mean temperature and average rain-fall for the State of North Carolina for the first three months of the year are as follows : January, mean tem perature, 41.3 degrees, which is 0 2 below the norma'.; average rain-fali, LSI inches, which is 0.20 inches above the normal. Feoruary, mean temperature 48 1 degrees, which is 3 2 above normal; average rain (all, 5 G8 inches, which is 1.50 inches above normal. March, mean tern., perature, 45.4 degrees, which is 3.4 below the normal ; average raiusf all 7.45 inches, which is 2.50 iucb.es above the normal. March was the coldest aud wettest month. The soil was soaked, roads uearly impas sable. At the beginning of April the ''rainy season" suddenly ended with a cold snap, sending the tem perature below treezing on the 5th, with heavy frost, causing consider a)le damage to crops, especially fruit, but not uearly so much as ex pected. Since April Sth remarkas bly tiue weather has prevailed, with but little rainfall, abundant suns shine and excels of temperature, Vegetatiou has made remarkably rapid progress, and by hard work farmers have recovered much lost tim The reports of conespondents for the week ending Friday, April 24tb, indicate that remarkably fine weath er has prevailed. Abundaut sun shine, excess of temperature and deficiency of rain-fall have caused most rapid growth of vegetation and crops. Plaufing com aud cots tou is progressing very rapidly. Much corn is up well and some cot ton, with good stand repotted. Wiu ter wheat and oats geuerally loot ing very well. Considerably less acreage of spring oats aud wheat planted than usual on account of very wet weather at proper time of planting. It is to be feared that many farmers are planting too has tily, without feood preparation of the soil. The general raius of Sat urday night and Friday were very beneficial and will bring up setds rapidly. Hemarksot Special Corress pondenf. Western Districts.

Never try to wear a shoe too small or that does not fit when first put on. Never let your shoe get hard or dry. Do not let it run down at the heel or side. Never wear into the welt or insole. A shoe repaired ia time will remain in shape and afT ford comfort and will be found true economy. Never dry a wet shoe with our first applying some oil and grease castor oil or tallow is the best. The steam generated iu a wet boot or shoe will scald it aud ciuse it to crack. Do not use too much force in polishing a gentle brushing with a soft brnse is better than the vigorous work of the boot black. Do not allow a thick crust of blacking on your shoes. Wash it ofi occasionally and apply a lilt'e castor oil you can polish it over in au hour or two. Never try on or haudle a patent leather shoe when cold ; always thoroughly warm it t'efore beuding the leather. A pat, eat leather shoe put on in a warm room can be worn out in cold weath er without injury. Never put a good pair of shoes in galoshes ; use an old pair for this, and withdraw the galoshes as soon as you enter a house Shoe and Leather lieporterl A dry, backing cough keeps the bronchial tubes in a state of cons staut irritation, which, if not speed ily removed, may lead to bronchitis.

Wonders Are wrought by the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor in restoring gray hair to its original color, promoting a new growth, pieveut lng the hair from falling, keeping it soft, silky, and abundant, and the scalp cool, healthy, and free from Uandrnff or humors. The universal testimony is that this prep aration lias no equal as a dressing, and is, therefore, indispensaLle to every well furnished toilet. 'I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for soma time and it has worked wonders for me. I was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly becoming bald ; but since using the Vigor my head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair has ceased coming out, and I now have a good growth, ot the same color as when I w as a young woman. I can heartily recom mend any one suffering from dandruff or loss of hair to use Ayer's Hair Vigor as a dressing." Mrs. Lydia,0. Moody, Hast Pittston, Me. "Some time ago my wife's hair began to come out quite freely. Ayer's Hair Vigor not only prevented my wife from becoming bald, but it also caused an entirely new growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this statement before a justice of the peace." II. Ilulsebus, Lewislmrgh, Iowa. ' Some years ago, after a severe attack of brain fever, my hair all came out. I used such preparations for restoring it as my phy sicians ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. I then tried, successively, several articles recommended by druggists, and all alike fell short of accomplishing the desired result. The last remedy I applied was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brought a growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I used eight bottles in two years; more than was necessary as a restorative, but I liked it as a dressing, and have continued to use It for that purpose. I believe Ayi r's Hair Vigor possesses virtues far above those of any similar preparation now on the market." Vincent Jones, Richmond. Ind. Ayer's Hair Vigor PREPARED BY DR. J, C.
