My hope was dead. You took me by the hand, And bade me live, and strive, and firmly stnnd My courage gone. You spoke one word of cheer I gained new strength and saw life's duty clear. My heart was eicK. You healed it with one look OfJoye and pity, which my raem'ry Ne'er foorsook. My eyes were dim with tears. Your gentle sigh Told me you loved me still ind bade my sad doubts lly. My only love, help me life's woes to hear; My weakness needs thy strentb, thy cheering presence dear. Oh! precious one, if thy love guide my .onl, How safe its path, until it reach its goal! Star of my life! let thy Lght o'er tue shine, Then shall my human heart bow 'ceath the will divine. How People Sleep. (Youth's Companion.) Though it is true, aa the author of a school composition once asserted, that 'Sleeping is a universal prac tice among all nations,'' it ia also true that there is a great diversity in the methods of sleeping among people of different nations and dif ferct ways of life. The things which one person needs to make him sleep are precisely tho things which wonld keep another awake all night. Even the sedative medicines which pat one person immediately into a heavy slumber esoite another into a con dition of nervou3 restlessness. The European or American, in order to sleep well, ordinarily re quires a downy pillow under his heat': but the Japanese, 'tretehing himself upon a rash-mat on the floor, puts a hard, eq lare block of wo;;d under his head , and does not di-ep well if he doe3 not have it. The Chinese makes great ticeount of Irs bc, which is very low indeed, scarcely rising from the fljor, bat is often carved exquisitely of wood; but it, never occurs to him to make it any softer than rush-mats will render it. While the people of Northern countries cannot sleep unless t.iey Lave plenty of room to stretch out their legs, the inhabitants of the tropics often curl themselves up like monkeys at the lower angle of a sus pended hammock, and sleep soundly in that position. The robust American often, cov ers himseli with a pair of blankets and tfcrows his window wide open to the air, even in the winter time, and hs does not complain if he fiods a little drift of snow across the top of hibed in the morning. The Russian, on the contrary, likes no sleepins-place so well as the top of the bis soapstone stove in his domicile. Crawling out of this bli 3 tering ted in the morning, lie likes to take a plunge in a cold i-trearn, eyen if he has to break through the icp to get into it. Tee Laplander crawls, head and all, into a bag made of reindeer ekm, and sleepp, warm and comforforta ble, within it. The East Indian, at the other end of the world; also has a sleepiDg-bag, but it is more porous than the Lnplacder'd. Its purpose is to keep out mosquitoes more than to keep the sleeper wsrm. While the American still clings to his feather pillow, he is steadily dis carding Lis o'.d-fashioncd feather bed in favor of the hair or straw aiatlrcss. The feather-bed Is rele gated to the country, and many peo ple who slept upon it all through tieir childhood find themselves un comfortable upon it in their miturtN t. The Germans not only sleep apon a feather-bed, but underneath one. The feather-covering used in Ger many, however, is not as lare or thick as the orle which is used as a mattrsf, and the foreigner who un dertakes to sleep beneath it open finds his feet suffering from cold, while his shoulders are suffering from bent.

John was fifteen, and wanted a desirable place in the office of a weil known lawyer, who had advertised for a boy, but doubted success because, being a stranger iathe city, he had no references . " I'm afraid I'll stand a poor chance," he thought, 'bat Til try and appear as well as I can. for that may help.'' So he was careful to have hjs dress and person neat, and when he took bis turn to be interviewed, went in with his hat in his hand , and a smile oa his face. The keeneyed lawyer glanced him over from head to foot. 4 Good face," be thoagbr, "aal pleasant ways." Then he noted the neat suit Lut other boys had appeared in new clothes saw thewell brushed hair and clean looking skin. Very well, but there had beeo others here quite as cleanlj; another glance showed the finer-ails free from soiK 4Ah ! that looks like tbourough- ue8P,'' thought the lawyer; Tnen he asked a few direct, rapid question?, which John answered as directly. 'Prompt," was his mental com ment: 'can speak up when necessary. Lot's see your writing," he added aload . Jotn took the pen and wrote his name. "Very well, easy to read, and no flourishes. Now, what reierencce have yon?, The dreaded question at last 1 John's Lief fell. He had begun to feel tome hope of success, but this dashed it. T haven't any he said slowly, I'm almnat. a stranger in the city." 'Can't take n toy wnuuuu itrcieu- i : J 1 cee, was me orusque rejoinuer, auu as he ppkc a sadden thought sent a flash to John' cheek. 'T hiaven't anv reference?," he said , with hesitation, '-but here's a letter 1'torn mother I j ist received.'' The lawyer took it. It was a short letter; 'My Dear John, I want to remind you that whe aever you find w:rk you must consider t'ia.t work your own. Don't go into it, as somo boys do, with th feelirg that you will do as little as you can, and get some thing better soon ; but make up your mind yoa will do as much as possi ble, and make yourself so necessary to your employer that he will never let you go 1 "You have been a good son to me. Be as good in business, and I am sore God will bless your efforts.'' ''H'n !'' said the lawyer, reading it over the second time. "That's good advice, John excellent advice! I rather think I'll try yon, even with out references.'' John has been with him five years, and last spring was admitted to the bar. "Do you intend taking that young man into partnership?" asked a friend latelf. "Yep, I do. I couldn't get along without John-" And John always says the hest reference he ever had was a mother's good advice and honest praise. m wm 1 1 -m- "A Hack dumber." There is the slighting remark that is often applied to women who try to seem young, though they no Ion ger look bo. Sometimes appearances are deceitful.

A Young hero from Edgecombe. (Tarboro Southerner.) The history of R. Herbert Pittmin. a native of No. 5 township shows what a young man can do, and that if tie has the will he can certainly rise. At the age of 17 the little smatter ing of books he bad acquired in the few months he was allowed to attend a public school near his fatherV, in cited him to drink deeper of the "Pierian spring." He wished to attend one session at A.J. Moore's school at Whitakers. bat his father was nnable to seod him. This did not daunt him. He said to his father if he would consent for him to go he would pay his own tuition. Yhat father coald refuse? He studied under Mr. Moore five months. That good teachei seeing what metal the land was made of, credited him for his schooling. He made wonderful progress. At the end of the sesion he prevailed upon his father to let him go to Battleboro and study telegraphy under Andrew Hobgood. Mr. Hobgood also recojn'zd io him the spirit whicb will win sac cess. He" also agreed to wait till he could make enough to pny him. When young Pittman had mastered this he was anxiou? to begin the bat tie of life. His father's circumstances were such that he coald ill stford to spare him, but finally the son convinced him he could do him more good working at his professioa than assisting him on the farm. ' Let me go to South Carolina where I can get a situation and I will pay by the time I am 21 years old the $350 you owe ." He went. Ia two years, instead of three, that debt has been paid, so also has Mr Hobgood and Mr. Moore. He is doing the work of two men where he is located, Atkins, S.

(Minuficturers' IlecorJ ) An experiment on a large pcale will be tried in Nebraska shortly by Mr. John W. Bookmaker, the well-' known capitalist and manufacturer. He is the owner of CO. 000 acres in that State. These he proposes to cut up into farms and home lots to situated relatively that their owner' houses will be in neighboring groups, while the farms will occupy tin nearby outlying lands. In describ ing his plan to the Kansas City Star, Mr . Beokwalter said that all his joulh until he was 23 was ppent on a farm, and he knew by cxperi ence that the secret of a farmer's disconsent was the drearines of his in9olation-"the living apart from the rest of the world and from civiliza tion itself." In his European travels he had seen in practice the idea be proposed to carry out in Nebraska. The houses would be located regard less of streets or sidewalk?, wit'i the farms encirculing the home?, not nec essarily more than a third of a mile distant, but the homesteads forming the group and quite separate from the farm lauds. Ha has already selected his first location and settled a number uf families there. The cardinal advantage of thi.s plan he stated as follows : First. Tne tedium of farm life in general will be removed . Second. It will keep the farm boy at home and make them contented with their life. Third It will tend lo advance the farmer in education, knowedge of worldly affairs and put him in touch witn the world. Fourth. He can go to church several times a week if he chooses without driving ten miles to gt It-.. red in te household it will be a j mscb easier matter to obtain and res it. To general z, this scheme h3 the virtues of country life without the vices of the city. A very large percentage of land in the South has never been broken by the plow. Thousands of a?rt s " from which lumbermen are fast removing the virgin forests can -e purchased at very low price?, and in places the soil is as strong and fertile as was eyer tilled. Colonies could be planted on thU plan in sach localities, as also ia many others occe cultivated but loag since abandoned, that in a few years would change their whole appearance and fill the land with flourishing farms and prosperous, contented communities. Backbiters. (Durham Sun.) Theie are men who never have a good word to say of anytody. No matter how noble and of how good repute a man may be, these backbi ters will continue to say something of disparagement. They do not of ten speak directly against a good man , bat by implication and innQ endo seek to besmirch a fair and honorable reputation. Such men are a blight and bane to soci ty. Of ill-repute themselves , ttey would drag others down to the same lov level. The sight of an honest, trust worthy , highminded citizen, is suN ficient to give them a bad attack of the spleen, which they seek to rem edy by inventing stones derogative togool character. Their own in herent badness causes them to tbiok others must be bad, indifferent, aho The chronic backbiter would seem incurable. He will listen to no ar guments ia a good man's favor. That all men are more or lees vicious is his premise, and the moet convincing proof would not driye it from hia mind . Truly a most deplorable state of mind ' and hard to be in I Were there no honest men in the world, things would come to a stand still, and the earth wuuid almost cease to revolve. It is they who make life and ciFilizition what it ip, and keep us from the primal chaos. Bat the born backbiter will eater tain no such view a3 this, and goes on in his daily round of belittleing everything and everybody. He seemt to take reat delig'it in it, and to roll it oot as a swe.t morsel under bis tongue. We ttduk, if he coul see now small, petty and insignificant such a couroe in life i', and how it dwr.rfa and belittles his humanity (.( there be a grain left .n him), he would instantly reform and sp.'ak nothing but good of mankind for ever afterward.

Farmers 6hould keep a strict ac count of income and expense, and take an inventory of evory thin once a yar- In tle cityy , activity and intelli gence generally command ucarh what they are worth . They are just ' .s essential on the fa' m as anywhere. Ti.e care of machinery is an im portant item on the farm. A elf binding harvester may last ten years, but when it is considered that the actual time the machine Is in uee each year does not exceed one we;k, it becomes an expensive afTair. Faimrrs who tl:reQh oats with the flail find that the chair and a good deal of the straw is greedily eaten by stock as a change, even when hay and corstalks are a part of the ration. Oat straw is not a perfect food, but in combination with wheat brand or oil meal it may be worth nearly ae much as hay. It is not very msny years since i member of the United States Senau expressed the belief that by tha end of this century every acre of cultiva ble land in this country would hi worth .!i0, and now coraes a writer in the Country Gentleman who eayh that within five vears every acre of our cultivable xvA will be worth at least '0O, 8nd this assertion h sap ports with figures.
