THE BOTTOMLESS 3TU. A Temperance Sketch. , I saw hanging up in tho kitchen j of a thrifty, healthful, sturdy farmer i in Oxford connty,Miiiue, n bottom-! lessjutuj! The host saw that the carious tiling had canght my eye, ' and be smiled. "You are wondering what that jug is hanging up there for, with its bottom knocked out!" he said: "My wife, perhaps, could tell yon the story better than I can; but she . is bashful, and I aint, so I'll tell 1 it." "My father, as you are probably aware, owned.this farm before me. ! He lived to cood old ajre, worked hard all his life, never squandered money, was astirewd, caret ui tra der, and a good calculator; and, as men were accounted in ins days; and generation, he was a temper ate men. I was the youngest boy; ; and wbeu the old man was ready ! to go and he knew it the other; boys agreed that since I had stayed at home and taken care ot the old folks, the farm should be mine. And tome it . was willed. I had been tHacried- theo three years. "Well, father died mother had gone three years before and left the farm to me with a mortgage on it of two thousand dollars! I'd uever thought so much of it before; but I thought of it now. I said to Molly my wife 'Molly,' says I, ;look here! Here's father had tins farm in its first strength of soil, with all its magnificent timber; and his six boys, as thej- grew np equal to so many men, to help him; and he has worked Jtard worked early and late and vet look at it! a mortgage of $200! What can l dor Ana x went to mat oui jug it had its bottom in then and took a good sfcifl drink ot Old wed ford Hum from it. - "I noticed a curioas look on the face of my wife jnstthen,and I ask ed her what she thought of it; foi l snpposed.of course,she was thinking of what I'd been talking about. And so she was. Says she: '"Charles, I've thought of this a erood ileal; and I have thought of away in which I believe wo can clear that mortgage off before five more years are ended,' ; 'Says I: 'Molly tell . me how you'll do it.' r. , 'She thought for a little while, and then ehe said, with a funny twinkling in her blue eyes says he 'Charles, you must promise me solemnly, and sacredly. Prom ise me that you will never again bring home for the purpose, of drinking for a "beverage,- at any one timenore siJirit of auy kind than youcau bring in that old jug the j ug that your father hi s used ever smce 1 knew him, ana wuicu you have ' used since be was . done ri'th:it, ' '- "Well, I knew that father used once in a while, especially in hay ing time, and in th winter when we were at work in the woods, to get an old gallon jug filled, so 1 thought she meant that I should never buy more than two quarts at a time. I thought it over, and after a little told her I would agree to it. 'Now mind,' said she; 'you are never never -to bring home for a common beverage more spirit than yon can bring in that identical jug.' And I gave her the promise. . "And before I went to bed that night I took the last pull at that jug. As I was turning it out for a sort of a nightcap Molly looked up. and says: . 'Charley have you a drop left! " I told her there was just about . drop. jWe'd have to get it filled ou tlie "morrow. And then she said, if I had no objection she wonld drink that last drop with me. I never shall forget how she brought it out 'That last deop!" However I tipped the old jug bot tom Tip, and got about a great spoon full, and Molly said that was enough. She took the tum bler and poured a few drops of hot water mto it, fand a . bit of sugar, and tWa 'ahe tinkled, her glass against mine, just as she'd seen us boys do when we'd been drinking good lnck, and says she, 'Here's to tkt old brown-juff!" - 1 ' "Sakes alive! I thought to my self that poor Molly had been drinking more of the rum than was good for her; and I tell you, it kind o' cut me to the heart. I for got all about how many times she'd seen me when my tongue was thick er than it ought to be, aud my legs not quite so steady a,- good legs should be; but1aid nothing. 1 drank the sentiment iTo the old -brovnjvgP and let it go. "Well, I went out after that and am my cnores, ana tnen went to i bed, aad the last thing J said be fore leaving the kitchen this very room where we now sit 'We'll ha& the old blown jug filled to morrow.' And then 1 went off to bed. And I have remembered ever since that I went to bed that night as I had done hundreds of times ueiore, witu a buzzing in my head that a healthy man ought not to have. h didn't think, of it then, not had I ever thought of it before; but I've thought of it a good many times since, and have thought of it with wonder and awe. "Well, 1 got up the next morn-, iug and did up my work at the; barn, then came iu and eat break- fast; but not with such au appetite; as a farmer ought to have, and I ' could think even theu that my ap-: petite had begun to tail me. How ever, I eat breakfast, aud theu went out and hitched np the old mare; for to tell the truth, I was feeling the need of a glass of spirits aud I hadn't a drop iu the house. I was in a hurry to get to the vil lage. I got hitched up, and then came iu for the jug. I went in the old cupboard, and took it out. aud "Did you ever break through the thin ice, on a nipping cold day, aud find yourself, in au instant, over your head in the freezing water! Because that was the way I felt at that moment. The jug was there, but the bottom was gone! Molly had been and taken a sharp chisel aud a hammer, and with a skill that might have ' done credit to a master-workman, she had clip ped the bottom clean out of the jug without even cracking the edges, or the side! I looked at the jug, and then I looked at Molly. And then she burst out. She spoke ()! I uever heard anything like it! .No. nor I have ever heard anything like it since. Said she: "Charles! There's where the mortgage on this farm came from! It was brought home in that jug two quarts at a time? And there's where all the debt has been! Aud there's where your white,clear skin, ' and jour pretty oyea,uTe going! Aud in that jug, my husband,, your ap. petite is going, alsol O! let the bottom stay out forever! Let it be as it is, dear heart ! and remember your promise to me.r "And then she threw her arms around my neck, and burst info tears. She couldn't speak more. "And there was no need. My eyes were opened, as though by magic. In a single minute the whole scene passed before me. I saw all tun mortgages, on all the farms in our neighborhood; and 1 thought where the money had gone, The very last mortgage fath er had ever made, had been to pay a bill held against him by the mau who had rilled his jug for years! Yes. I saw it all, as it passed be fore me. flitting picture of rum ! -rum ! rum ! debt ! debt ! all0 n ti,c end Death! And I re turned mj- Molly's kiss, and, said I: Molly, my 1 own: i ll will, so kept the promise help me lit aven! "And I have kept it. In less than live years, as Molly said, the mortgage was cleared off, my appe tite came back to me; and now, we've' got a tew thousand dollars out at interest. There hangs the old jug, just as we hung it up on that day; and from that time there hascn't a drop of spirit been brought into this house, for a bev erage, which that bottomless jug wouldn't have held! "Dear old jug! We moan to keep it, and to nand it down to our children, for the lesson it can give them, a lesson of life, -of a life happy, peaceful, prosperous, and blessed!'' Aud as he ceased speaking, his w ile, with an arm drawn tenderly around the neck of her youngest boy, murmured a fi event, 'Umks !' A. 1". Ledger. W AIl'S U0UR0KS A Vivid Description of the Battle ot Franklin. Jt was the 30th of November 18G1 At i o'clock in the afternoon the line of battle was formed, Stewart on the right, Cheatham on the left, their right aud left flanks, inter locked like Parthian shiels, compos ing tho center. Generals Stephen 1). I-iee's corps was held iu reserve. Cleburue's position was in tire cen ter; his division formed in three battle Hues, and he at its head. Thus arranged, Hood's line was nearly two miles long, advancing, curved like a Mussulman's cimeter, with the blade to the foe. But let us follow Cleburne. Bugles were blowing, drums beating, and baaids playing. A courier dashed up to Cleburne's presence, and soon the word "Attention ! ' was given, then "Forward, march!" and the column passed over a hill and through the little skirt of woods. Soon they emerged into an opeu field aud steadily they passed ou with "prop, ercadeuce' 'toward blood and death. The Federal batteries began to open. First came solid shot, bouudiug over, through the ranks, tba. shrieking shells flew through the air on the wings of destruction bursting under and above and arouud the men, aud, at every ex plosion unbinding more evils than ever flew from Pandora's box, Twlight was coming on. "For ward men!" was repeated all along the Hue. A living sheet of fire was poured into their ranks. But the men pressed forward until the ter rific roar ran from center to flank from wing to wing. jNigntcame and tue two armies fought like two blind giants in des pair. Cleburne's old war cry ran out above the din of arms; "Fol low me, boys!" Once again, aud again, aud seven times. Cleburne's division, aud, indeed, all of Hood's army, charged the breastworks. And once again, and again, and again, seven times were they repul sed. Every time they formed and reformed under a most galliug fire. Atone time, just after dusk, Cle burne captured a portion of the works and turned the guns of a Federal battery on their former owners; but it was only for a few tuomeuts a little silver rift m the battle clouds that enveloped him iu darkness. It was the hottest fire Cleburue had ever met. It was but one stream of blazing hades. Con federates were on one side of the breast-works and Federals on the other. Men fell flat on their faces and fired from behind the bodies of their dead comrades. Dead sol diers filled the lntreuchmenls Blood made the earth as slippery as an ice-pond. Thus the firing was kept up until after midnight, and grad ually died out. But both armies held their own. Tho confederates passed the night where they were, just outside the breastworks. The Federals, only a few feet off, held their cover until near daybreak, when they quietly marched back to Nashville. But when the morrow's sun be gan to light up the sky the surviv ing soldiers looked out upon a sad battlefield. The dead were piled one on top of the other in awful heaps, aud wounded seemed thicker than the uncounted stars. Horses, j like men, had died, game upon the defenses. Cleburne's body lay there on (lie top of the breastworks gastly in the sleep of death, pier cod with fort v-uinc bullets.t hrough and t hroiii' h. 1 1 if male had her fore-feet ou ton of the woil dead in that pitioii. Not far from where Cleburne lay was seen the dead lnnly of (Jetieral Adams. His horse had hisfnrefvel on one side of the works and his hind-feet on other, dead. The gen eral seems to have been caught so that he was held to the horses back sitting bolt upright in his saddle, as it living, riddled and torn with balls. General Staid lay by the road-side and his horse by his side, both dead, aud alibis staff. Cen. Gist from South Carolina was lying with his sword, reaching across the breastworks, still grasped in his hand. He, too, "was dead. Gen. Cranberry of Texas aud his horsy was seen, horse and ri.ler, right oi top of the breastworks, dead. All dead. Four thousand and five hundred soldiers all lying side, by side in death. Thirteen Confeder ate generals killed and wounded. Six brothers, members of a Mississ ippi regiment, were all dead. "This was the bohliest picture iu the book of time."

Makinsr up Time Half a dozen railroad men were standing by the Union depot lunch counter the other night, waiting for a train, drinking coffee telling stories about their experiences in railroading. An engineer was mak ing camel tracks in a half of a pie, aud between swallows he was en tertaining tho boys about a fast run he had made one day between Milwaukee and LaCrosse, when the "old man'' was in a hurry to get up there to see about the bridge that was being built there. As he was describing how the engine and two cars fairly blistered the rails between Portage and Camp Douglas, a frightened looking man stepped up and asked for a cup of coffee and some doughnuts, and while he was soaking a doughnut iu the coffee, he said they didn't know anything about fast running unless they had been on the Pennsylvania Road. The men asked him what he knew about last running and he turned out some coffee in a saucer, blew on it, too cool if, sv flowed it and said: Well. I just got here from the cast and I have witnessed railroad ing that knocks the socks IV of anything that ever was. We started out of Jersey City one night at eight o'clock, and up this side of Philadelphia there was a wreck ahead of us, and wo side tracked for six. hours, and when the track was clear we started. Well, -ir, that train liew, fairly 1lew. We didn't realize in the" car fjiat we were going last, by any jarj for it was just as smooth as a pair ot skates on smooth ice, but if a man enf, our on a platform lu could not breathe.

The nigger was afraid to go back into his car, and waited till the train stopped at a coal place, ihe conductor told me the train was going faster than a bullet, lie wtid the engineer often shot his revolver up the track ahead and the engine would overtake ihe bullet and llat'cn it against the smokestack. Did you ever see a passenger train jumj) right over a freight train when both were in mo tion!" asked the, doughnut man, as he, filled his c.offeo up with milk. "O, what you giving us!" said the engineer, us he loosened the leather belt around his greasy over halls and looked at the man with disgust. "Well, you don't have to believe it if you don't want to, but I pledge you my word our train jumped right over a long freight train ahead of us. Wo come up to it, ou a straight track, and our engineer signaled to the freight engineer to slow up a little, and the conductor told us to keep our seats. We had seen the freight train ahead on a curve, and woudered why our train did not stop. When the conductor told us to keep our seats, I asked what was the matter, and he said we were going to jump a freight anil if we moved around we would jar the cars so they wouldn't be so liable to hit the track ahead when we come down. Just then I could feel the traiu go into the air, aud har the wheels turn with no track under them, and in less than ten seconds we began to descend, and I could hear the wheels on the track again, and I looked back and the freight engineer was waving his hat at us. Why, there was no more jar than there is in this room now! Of course they wouldn't attempt to jump a freight train on a curve or in a tunnel," and the man scratched as match on his pants, aud lit a cigar stub ho had been keeping. Piece's Sun. So'.itliern Courtesy and Kindness. Youth's Conjpankn. An Englishman of influence, who with his family emigrated to this country in 1879, settled iu one of the Gulf States. His friends in New York remonstrated with him, urging that the South yet suffered from the effects of the war, that trade was duller there than in the North, and the chances fewer of success iu business. "I know it," he replied. "You will there be measurably out of the world of art, music, books, even news. The towns and houses have few modern improve ments," the advisers insisted. 'All very true." "The people haven't the energy of the North. They are apt to be oitter in their prejudices." "But they are friendly," replied the Englishman. "If I were asked to name the marked feature of Southern character it would be friendliness. When I went among them I found for the first time iu my life myself in a world where every man seemed to consider ev ery other man his blood relation. Though he had never seen him be fore, he stood ready to invite him to dinner, or to befrie.id him if he needed it." The. Englishman remained in the South. He could uot tear himself away from the pleasant, intangible ties which had been spun about him. No one can travel through the South without feeling the powerful charm of the universal atmosphere of good humor, kindness and cour tesy that is found jn the people. Not only is it shown in the hospi- j tantvof the upper classes. Put the poorest of your fellow passengers ready to render you a service. j We have known a train stopped j for an hour in order that a doctor ! might be called to wait upon a sick j child, and in the six cars full of j passengers there was not a voice j raised in discontent, it evidently j seemed to them the natural and; right thing to do. i In the majority of cases, of; course, the irood will is shown only j in a smile and pleasant word ; but i no one who has not lived in this I perpetual sunshine can understand ! its tranouilizing and cheering ef-! feet. T ! There can be iittie use in the union of the different sections of; this country, if the two cannot learn something from each other. If. Northerners are perhaps able to' teach their Southern brethren some : lesson of energy and progress, they can also learn from them much that will make life sweeter, higher and far better worth the living. The Nort he-ruer at heart is per haps as faithful a lover and as kind a friend, l.nt he keeps his love and kindness for his personal friends and his own household, and allow s eiy little of cither to illumine his face, woids or manners in the ordi nary associations of life. It is suited that the value of all cattle, ht e and 'hogs iu the seven South- i western states amounts to about $57,- nno.niii). THEFAEM. How to Farm. Independent Statesman. The varied features of the farm er's work lead to a demand for skill in the application of capital and labor, and the extent of it requires extended study and close and con tinued observation. The impossi bility of making a success of all tho varied branches of the work at the same time has resulted in making specialties of the different ones, and with the best results. All plans for successful operation have to do with many facts and principles, aud any treatment of these subjects, to be helpful to those pursuing them, must be taken separately and treated as special ties. Facts from the experience of those who have followed them suc cessfully, and especially so where they have done it under close com petition, are valuable in this con nection. No one will be allowed for any length of time to pursue a paying business without the same being adopted by many others, and only a successful one under such difficulties can tell how to secure success. The fact that men ara giving thought and investigation to this subject is more hopeful for the farmer t ban any other at present in sight. A noted lecturer has treated this subject in one of his best efforts befoiethe people. The wastes of society, showing the relation of the waste of time, of capital, of skill, ol misdirected energies, and the loss t.hereironi to the world. An ugli cultural speaker stated a few days since, that having had experience as a manufacturer and iis :l firmer, he believed that the wastes iu farm iug were greater than auywliere else to his knowledge. TakiDg this as a fact, and it certainly is such, cannot we, acting upon it, stop some of these wastes, and in that way commence a new era iu farm iug. Oue important waste is in the farmer's time, by lacking in sys tern, having so much iu the aggre gate that he fails to divide it to iaake it the most productive of iirotit or pleasure. Another is the misuse of capital, as, for instance, where oue realized five per cent annual income when it might have been invested at a proper time in labor, in stock, and iu iarni sup plies, and earn .twenty per cent. In the time and method of work, the time and manner of marketing products, in many and all of these, great savings might bo made, ag gregating a competence and insur ing a success ironi present posi tions. Points, iu Fattening Cattle. Most animals eat iu proportion to their weight, under average'condi tious of ago, temperature and fat ness. Give fattening cattle as much as tjiey will eat, aud often times clay. Never give rapid changes of food but cnange otten. A good guide for a safe ouantity of grain per day to maturing cattle is one pound to each hundred weight; thus an animal weighin l,0u0 pounds may receive 10 pounds of grain. Every stall feeding in the fall will make the winter's progress more certain by 30 per cent. Give as much water and salt at all times as they will take. In using roots it is one guide to give just so much, in association with other things, so that the am mal may not take any. water. Iu buildings, have waimthj with complete ventilation, without cur rents, but never under 40 degrees nor over 70 degrees Fahrenheit, A cool, damp, airy temperature will cause animals to consume more food without corresponding result in bone, muscle, flesh or fat, much being used to keep up warmtn. Stall feeding is better for fat making than box or yard manage ment irrespectiveol health. The growing animal, intended for beef, requires a little exercise daily ,toproiuote muscle audstrength of constitution; when ripe, only so much -as to be able to walk to market. Keep the temperature of the body about one hundred degrees, not un der ninety-live degrees Fahrenheit. Don't forget that oue animal's meat may be another animal's poison. It takes three days of good food to make up for one of bad food. The faster the fattening the more profits; less food, earlier returns and better flesh. Get rid of every fattening cattle beast before it is three years old. Every day an animal is kept af ter being prime is loss, exclusive of manure. The external evidences of priuie uess are full rumps, dauks, twist, shoulders, pores, vein and eye. A good cattle man means adirler ence of one fourth. He should kuow the likes and dislikes of every ani mal. It pays to keep one man incon stant attendance ou 30 head of fatteniug cattle. Immediately when an animal begins to fret for food, immediately it begins to lose flesh; never check the fattening process. No cattle whatever will pay for the direct increase to its weight from the consumption of any kind or ouantity of food the manure 1 ' miwf lf nmnpi'l vvnhierl. Never begin fattening without j definite plan. i There is no loss in feeding cattle well for the sake of the manure ! alone. j On au average it costs, ou charg- j ing every possible item, 12 cents for every additional pound added j to the weight of a two or three-year-: old fattening beast. ! Iu this country the market value j of store cattle can be increased Jo per cent, during six months of the fattening finish. Iu order to secure a sure profit, no store cattle beast, of the right stamp and well done to, can be sold at less than cents per pound, live weight. Be Ready Early. Agriculturist. A season of activity is near at hand. Spring is coming, with its pressing work. Are farmers ready for sowing and planting? Every implement should be provided be forehand that no time may be wast ed in making purchases or repairs after the work should begin. We have kuown a half-day of plowing to be lost because the whifHetrees were not at hand. Some farmers start out with their spring plowing without a single plow point iu stock and when one is needed, the team Is taken from the field and driven to the store. Such a loss of time is a serious matter, and should be thoughtfully guarded against by ample provision of 'all such articles of the farm..' It is a poor time to mend a harrow when it should be at work in the field.; " We uo not favor that economy- if it may be so called that relies upon the neighbors for many of the tools of the farm. , There are certain farm implements that may be owned in partnership, as a roller or reaper but the costaut borrowing oi rakes, forks, etc., is not a wise and econo mical practice. Be provided with all these essential farm tools, and have them in good order, and at hand when the time arrives for using them. New Berne Advertisements. Trent River Transportation Companj .
