There are persons wo meet wih in lite, and they constitute no small class of hurnar.ity, who are like walking uew?papers, or cheap magazines, filled up with the odds and ends'' of literature. Whose ideas at e jumbled together like the "splinter" stems of those same printed sheets. They have a smattering of everylhiujr, but really understand nothing. You may know them by their flippan cy of speech and by thuir oft hand way of disposing of a subject, no matter how deep, with an air of apsurahcQ if not to the edification of others, at least, to their own satisfaction. They are persons who read or run over : fverihinw that falls in their way rather from a-love of what is uew or exciting or from a desire to be thought vaslly, intellectual. Thus tlicj are continual!' cramming' - tlicir brai lib with a bet er5f en oi us mas. of matte r fro m w hich th cy ca 1 1 seldom draw a distinct idoa that -miht : serve. a good purpose in confounding" error, elucidating truth, or in slrengthenin the for mation of good princtple Po rn sin g a wo r k w ;i t h o u t - r flee t i o n they never endeavor to' make a noble sentiment, ' or a great thought their own to use for the proper d eve em en t of so me d i-si r able trait of character fr the suppression of evil tendencies, the strenYthening of hih resolve? and aspirations . after a higher, purer life in the soul, in these days qf superficial attainments, of false show. In an artificial state of society the temptation to be satisfied with a mere outide pol ish is- peculiarly -strong. This trying to make the .most glitter with the least ouilay or exp?nse is to a great extent ' prevalet in all grades of society, but if one can be content to enjoy a quiet nonassuming -'position; to realize a serene, sincere lifewi'hout this cringing deference - to hollow forms, to tinfe-serving policy and b e 1 i tt 1 i iig sentiments, how much of frivolity and tedious unrest would they escape, aul tlfeir ex ample, though for a time it might be disparaged, 'yet in the steady adherence to the higher interests of m i n d w o u 1 d prove 1 i ke th e sun in mid-heaven a blessinjr to the world as far superior to - the fiafhy- brilliancy ot the time-serving world, if w?e were but sensi ble of the inestimable worth of mind so g ra n din ; its native en- dovvment8, so sublime in its far reaching powers, and immortal in it j being; how much that is poor and trifling, how much that is debasing in in its nature.

In 188G the yield ot lint to tho-100 pounds ot seed cotlon -waa 42 pounde." Lit . . ltwu.4v,c. u.ui I Mil, owing to tho bad reason in this county, the yield was only SGJ to 39 pounds per 100 pounds. Mr. J. h. Stone, who has Oouht this cottjn, is now sellinj; the seed throughout this State. Mr. Stohc has been prominently and favorably known for 15 year-1 throughput North Carolina. That ho should engage iii selling these seed after a strict inquiry into their merits, is t proof that they are as representee!, and that ther i s ii : o h u m l n g i n t h e m at ; c r. UU name andj trade mark , on each package is a guarantee of their iren-uinenc3s and irnod qualities. By .the .above it will be seen' tht this cittton rtiadea fifth nioro than that generally p'unted. If cotton that will make this extra yield is planted tvU year, the good farm crs of. North Carolina will in crease their -.profits over three millions! of dollars.

A; most wonderful Invention is reported from Vienna. An Aus trian engigeer has, it is sai 1, de signed a truck to run before ?V cry railway train,- being main t ai n ed a 1 ways a t a fi xi d (b u t ad -justible) distance in front hyxthe force 'of anelectnc current trans mitted along the rails from a dyn amo on the engine. The current is conducted through mercury contained in glass tubes on the pilot truck. If, therefore, the truck comes" into collision the tubecs are broken and the con , tact consequently destroyed. Tho interruption of the current ir sfantly and automatically applies ihe brakes on the following train. It is claimed by the inventor that i wo expresses fitted with this pya t'am 'might 'with impunity be set to run lull tilt at aach other! The coliion fof their pilot trucks would arrest the progress of both trains before they could meet. The clement of human .fallibility is accordingly entirely eliminated", and drivers may dash through a whole series of danger signals without risk being automatically arrested the moment tluey reach the spot that is really dangerous.

"You doubtless mean a bucket of fresh water," rejoined her hus band. "I wish you would pay omc little attention to rhetoric. Your mistakes are embarrassing."
