The following beautiful poam was written on the death, by drowning, of an unknown man, in a swimming pool, in Lampasas, Texae, on the morning of the 30th of July last, by a lady, a native of Winston : Sleeping form in peace and quifrt. Lulled by whispering waves to rent, Heedless the hours come and go. But bring not a throb to the pulse less breast. Gently o'er him the waters murmur. Breathing a requiem, soft and low. Sadly telling the sighing breere. The painful tale of sorrow and woo. Kindly, tenderly ,s trons hands lift him, T"p from the depths of his watery bed ; Lay him down in the glow of his man hood , A stranger nameless friend less dead. Somewhere perhaps a fond, doling mother. Lovingly waits, to welcome her boy; Eager to fold him once more to her bosom. With all of a mother's pride and joy, Somewhere a tender, girlish heart. Beats with love, pure and true. Thinking of words tenderly written. "Think of me sometimes, darling, will y ou. Oh. loving hearts, that so patiently wait, Wait to welcome your loved one again . Prav to God for strength and patience, To bear the coming years of pain. Nameles, he sleeps in a land of Btran- gers. Who were his friends Save He, who noteth none can tell; the fall of the sparrow, And in wonderous wisdom doeth all things well. May Mastbn Pierce. YAM K MALE AND FEMALE AC AD EMY. Thf Order of the Annual ment. Commence1' Thursday and Friday, the 123 d and i'4th of June, had been an nounced for the closing exercises of Vance Academy, under the man agement of Prof. W. R. Skinner. On Thursday morning a large crowd assembled in the academy building to witness the examina tion of the pupils in their various branches of study. The examina tion was brief, but served to show that the pupils were proficient in their studies. Afterward the audience had the pleasure of listen ing to speeches from Prof. T. K. Maxwell of Battleboro, and Dr. Grady of Duplin connty. The question selected by the Eureka Literary Society for debate was, "Which is of the greatest benefit to his; country, the warrior, the statesman or the poet," which was discussed by M. A. Bird, L. A. Bird, S. S. Maxwell, Senas Bird, R. P. Holmes, N, A. Tyndall and Chas. Maxwell. The query was left to the house for decision, and it was decided in favor of the poet, although several of the audience claimed that the query was so well discussed by all engaged that they could not vote either way.

Many people, I have often noticed, have a foolish fashion of praising all that is English and de crying all that is American. Eng lish coats and English manners. English pronunciation and English umbrellas, English books and Eng lish habits all seem in their eyes to be superior to our own. They fancy it very fine to be taken for Englishmen: and of late there is even talk of the superior comfort of travelling in England. Never was there a greater mis take. We have our faults here, ot course: but there are no railways like ours, nor any cars like ours, in all the world. Every year im proves the condition of the Ameri can traveller, and it is a matter in which we women have at least our equal rights. A woman who travels by rail in America is perfectly safe and com fortable as much so, at least, as any man is. She is in no danger ol being insulted, because she is under the protection of every decent man in the car. If she asks a question, she will doubtless be answered civility. If she needs assitance, it is offered. She can go from Maine to California without any annoy ance whatever. In England the apartments in the coaches of a train contain but a few people, and are locked by a guard who carries the key. A young girl travelling alone may be, and has been, locked in with a thief or a ruffian. All sorts of crimes, including murder, have been committed in these coaches: and there are none in which any traveller can lie down at night. He actually needs rugs, cushions, and a lantern. Moreover, there are no baggage, checks, and "boxes" must be picked out from great piles or the journey. There is no water on the train not a mouthful for a fainting person. At a station, one may see a "guard" to bring some; that is all. In England, no civility is offered any stranger by another man. If an Aniericanjshould ask an English man in the same coach a question, such as any American would answer decently, he would receive no reply, or, at best, a cold "Inquire of the guard.'' The frozen conventional ity of England requires that a gentleman shall know another be fore he speaks to him. One who does not consider himself a gentle men may reply, but he u quires lo be paid for it. In fact, even a necessary intention will not be offered by the "guard" unless you cross his palm with silver. Imagine offering one of our conductors a ten cent piece for being civil. It is time that every American understood that we travel better in our big country than Englishmen do in their little one: that the em ployees of the road are a finer sort of men; and that the t ravelers t hem selves add to their own end their own and their neighbors' comfort by an amount of consideration and politeness, and of (miresy to all women, never dream of i n England. N. V. Ledger. Hud Better lieen a II A young New Yorker now on a Western ranch, engaged to a wealthy Brooklyn maiden, in a let ter to a gentleman in New York declares that things are not all rosy in the great West. He is work boy. and is glad to employment, thoug little more than board. and boundless n g as a stable find even this li l r pa vs but he oost'of his A Rr.l'i.i'a "I P in. A ferryman, who had a. great liking for whiskey, entered a public-house for his usual dram. He emptied the glass into a tumbler, which he put to his lips. and then, remov ing it. aii the landlord: Alan, it s tin ic wi a st raw - berry in'r." Theie' nae straw- berry in't," said the landlord. The ferryman had been decieved by the retlection of the end of his own nose on the bottom of the tumbler. Home Influence. Home ! It's a theme that could be dwelt on indefinitely: and well can the wanderer sav: 'Eong. be my mind with such ntf m ones tilled, As t he vase which ro been distilled: You may break, you t he vase i f you w et the seent rose-w i i ma v ; er cling ruin ol it still." Few of us can withstand the in ibience of home. It should be the youth's idea of purity his father just and honorable, his mothgr angelic' and his sisters sweet and amiable. The woman that a man, brought up among ladies, chooses for his wife is sure to be a lady. She may- be of bw! estate and humble origin, yd she will be re fined. He has h.ul Ins model al ways before him. His taste has been fashioned instinctively by the fact that his mother and sisters are refined and have all the neees ary elements in ; heir natures that go to make up the perfect lady. His conduct through life will be better for the influence of a refined home. One fact that parents might t" realize is. that it is as much a part of their duty to provide cheerful, happy homes for their children as it is to educate them. If they are to learn that thine are unhappy marriages in the world, that there !are quarrel some and di contented people in it also, they should at least not learn it from the example of their parents. The mother should not be the oue to initiate her son into the wiles of a coquette, by her ex travagant dress and artificial ways. How can he be expected to choose a good wife when the conduct of his 'sisters teaches him that women are shallow, va It is because ot n and conceited .'; such training as! this that so many men's lives are failures. The woman is greatly , to be commended who selects for her husbsnd the. man who desires his home lor a place of rest. It is the man with many interest and engrossing occupation, the man with a place to maintain in the world. who enjoys home the most. The Ilermuda Islands. In the Atlantic Ocean, in latitude do0 l.V north and longitude tit0 ol" west, about (loo miles from Cape Hatteras. North Carolina, and 7.10 miles from NewYork, liesa group of islands in which perpetual summer reigns. Although these islands can be reached in a brief time at small ex pense from this city, yet they are very unfamiliar to the most of our people. Our relations to them, however, are of considerable impor tance, inasmuch as we take nearly all of their productions and supply them with three-fourths of their im ports. We have thought that a brief account of them would be welcome to our readers. The Bermuda, or Somer's Islands, consist of five principal and in numerable small ones, embraced within an area of twenty by eight miles. They cluster about the main island, or Bermuda proper, which is fifteen miles long. St. George's, Somerset and St. David's islands are next in size and of about equal area being some three miles in length each. Ireland island is one and one-half miles long and strong ly fortified at immense expense by the British Government. The other island of importance are Cooper. Smith's, Pagets. Long Pird, Nonsuch, and Boas. Sever, il of these are connected together by means of causeways and bridges. Their width varies from one quarter to three miles. The highest land is about b0 feet above high water. The climate is so peculiar, that seed time and harvest may be said to be co-incident the whole year round. There is no extremely hot or cold weather, but a happy medium exists between the two. The population ol these lands is 1 .1,000, or one person to each acre of land. Less than 2,000 acres are cultivated; much of the balance is waste land, but a great deal of good land is neglected. The principal crops arc vege tables, which are mostly sold in this city. Fruits of great excel lence are also produced, but not in great abundance. The cedar is the characteristic forest tree of the Bermudas. It covers all the islands, and springs iu some instances apparently from the bare rocks. It reaches a great height, and forms excellent lumber and timber lor a great many pur poses. Notwithstanding the favorable conditions existing in the islands agriculture is far from being car ried on with system and energy. Nature stands by with such willing hands that the indolent inhabitants are disposed to permit her to do a great part of the work. But gradu ally a change is being wrought, and with the constantly increasing demand for their productions, the ready contact with the great and profitable market afforded by this citv, and the use of modern farm appliances, the Bermudas must take rank at no distant day as one of our most important sources of food. N. V. Ledger. PlenHiiir in Dry Weatiier If there occur prolonged spells of dry weather, and the clean condi tion of the crop the absence of grass and weeds makes it un necessary to use plow or sheep for their destruction, the question will arise whether it is a good general rule to plow a cotton-field when there has been no rain since last plowing and the field is absolutely clean of weeds. The question 'will occur to any farmer of a few years' experience, and it is certain l'v a practical one. Some i farmers believe in plowing deeper as the ground becomes dryer, I claiming that detp plowing will I bring up the moisture. Now, deep plowing will "bring the moisture," in the sense that the moist soil that lies several inches below the 'surface will bo brought to the surface : but we can see no benefit or advantage in removing the soil w ith its contained mois ture from the neighborhood of the plant roots v, here it can do the most goodi, and bringing it to the surface to be immediately dried by the sun and wind. Our own ex perience and observation are op posed to the practice of plowing a field that has been once thorough ly plowed since any rain has fallen. Ic may not result in actual harm to the growing crop, and the latter may even be benefited, but it i extremely doubtful if the "game be worth the can- die." ' iutht ) n Cultivator. CHEW soothes a1 iieart. OLD ; RIP TOBACCO. It 1 sorrow and gladdens every Selecting Presents, In these days of photographs, heliotypes, and other comparatively inexpensive processes of reproduc ing pictures, there are; few house holds that cannot afford to own one or two really satisfying works of art. It is always interesting to ob serve the customers in a picture store. First, there is the young 1 lady, pleased and yet anxious, who ! tells the polite clerk confidingly that she doesn't want any Mater Dolorosas. or Saints by old masters: it is for a wedding present, and it must be appropriate. He is used to such demands, and promptly provides her with a portfolio filled with Cupids and Psy ches, Maidens' ! Choices, Huguenot Lovers and like ; subjects., which she sits down to ex- ' amine at her leisure, pulling off her gloves to handle them delicately, : and guttering little (lis .and Ahs of pleasure, surprise or hesitation as she proceeds. She finally departs exulant, leaving an order for a Norwegian Wedding, framed in si lver. A gentleman follows, desirous of selecting a birthday pre;ent lor his wife, and terribly afraid that his taste may not agree with hers. He selects and rejects until the attend ant is tired out. fixing at length upon standard nature after which he goes away, still anxious, and miserably certain that he ought to have choseu something else. Five ( minutes later he returns to ask i f it can be exchanged if it doesn't suit, and brightens noticeable w hen he findes it can. Put the pleasantest purchasers oi all, those upon whom the clerks smile most beneovlently, are the young couple buying pictures for their new home. They feel it to be a matter of such great impor- tan ce they describe'so earnestly the place where it is to hang, they state so franklv at the outset the limit that they have set themselves in the price, they consider so intently what they should get tired of and what they shouldn't! Young mad ame greatly admires a certain St. Sebastian; but she is sure that by the end of a month the arrows sticking in him would make her nervous, while her husband is equally convinced that that Ori ental Dancer, balanced on one toe, and never begining to dance, would distract his mind from his work. They prefer figures to landscape; they do not desire anything pathetic- they say it must be really beautiful, not merely pretty; in short, they give a world of trouble, but when they thank the polite clerk so effusively for having found them just the right things, that he feels almost as pleased and proud a.s if he had given the pictures to them. N.Y. Ledger. The Religion Very Much Needed. Just at this time our country needs a religion that will make man pay his debts. Shoting don't set tle old notes and accounts with God nor man cash up We want to prounce right on a fellow and put him out of the church if he goes to a ball,? or theatre, or goes onj a drunk, but never say a word to the pious scamp who never pays his debts. Preachers and people who never pay their debts are doing the church niore;harmJthan,dancer8 and drunkards There are none of them in the church. Reader am I gettin close to you? Then lay down the paper and go and pay up and you can read on at ease. And don't you stop paying because "statute of limitation" excuses the open ac count you made for bread and meat; God's law knows no statute. You pay it in cash or God will make you pay it in fire and brimstone. God knows no such excuse from paying as homestead exemption.'' You raise that excuse to keep from paying your debts and you can stop singing: When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies.' You've got none up there. You may say, I would pay if I could. How hard have you tried? If dy ing at this moment could you say, I've done all in my power? Have you tried to save a little each week or month for your debts? Are you spending no money for things to eat and wear that you could do without? How much do you spend per year for cigars and tobacco? Make the calculation. Put that amount to your debts. When ex penses not necessary for the feed ing and clothing of the body are set off and applied to the payment of debts then you grow in favor with God, and not till then does God excuse vou. Selected. Mulehinir and Cultivation. Experience has abundantly shown that mulching the ground not only adds to its fertility by the decay of the mulch itself, but it also retains a large amount of ammonia from the air. All have observed that soil covered with mulch keeps more porous and friable than when left exposed to the sun and drying winds. Earth worms contribute toward fertility by their holes, through which the air easily penetrates, imparting fertility, which the soil absorbs. A piece of ground, a part of which has been in strawberries and mulched with salt hay for three years, showed a great advantage from the mulched part broke up very finely, while the other part was very lumpy. It was all planted the same day with corn, which came up in rive days on the mulched portion, and was about too weeks coming up ou the rest, and much of it failed to come up at all. The after culture was alike yet there was a much more vigorous growth on the part which had been mulched. Soils not only have the power of absorbing ammonia from the air, but also from water that holds it in solution. By retaining the water so enriched, mulch adds to the fertility of the soil. Besides the advantages already mentioned. it is an easy way to keep clear of I weeds. The hay from salt marshes J is excellent for this purpose; but . where it is expensive or incon venient to procure, other material will be found serviceable. Ameri ! can Agriculturist. Cows Are so Thoughtless. We feel that we must say a word on the habit the cows of Sioux Falls have of wandering around in the night and calling on prominent citizens. To have a long, hollow chested milch cow introduce her head into our bed-room window at two o'clock in the morning and attempt to converse with us iu a low 'lin-inilil tnno i; lir frnm ,,,..1 iwwv, .o .in 'mm pleasant. And when shn rrnnli 1 her neck around and grasps the corner of the bed-spread and pulls the whole thing out of the window, and then goes and sits down on the flower-bed and calmly chews up the spread, it is j calculated to make a person use i harsh language.
