S. A WOMAN'S ADVICE. The work of the farm-house was over for the day ; the children with the ex eepfion of the oldest son, who had gone to the village were in bed, and m the big, comfortable kitchen Farmer Hare- wood, his wife and his wife's sister,Mrs. Lucas, were sitting around a centre- table. The farmer was reading an ag? ricultural paper, his wife was putting a patch- on the knee of little Harry's diminutive knickerbockers, and Mr Lucas was crocheting a hood of blue and white zephyr for a small niece. There was silence in the kitchen save !or the snapping of the fire in the stove, the ticking of the big eight-day clock in the corner, and the rustle of the farm er's newspaper, and when Mrs. Hare wood sighed deeply, both her sister and husband looked up in surprise. "What's the matter.Sarah t' asked the latter. "That sigh was the loudest I ever heard you give. Has anything gone wrong T You look as if you had a big load on your mind." "I have," answered his wife. "And it is a load which you must share, Eli, 1 have borne it alone as long as I can bear it. There is great trouble in store for ..us, husbandGeorge is "going to leave the farm.". The newspaper fell to the floor, and for a moment the farmer looked at his wife, too much surprised to utter a word. "Going to leave the farm !' he re peated at last. ''Sarah, you must be dreaming.": - Mrs. Hare wood " shook her head sadly. "I wish I were," she said. "No, Eli, it is true. George has made up his mind to leave us. . I have noticed for months past that he seemed dissatisfied and restless and pinee you sold Vixen he has grumbled a great deal about the work, and the dullness of his life. And today I heard him vy to Jasper Flint that he would not be here a month from now ; that he had had enough of farm life, and intended to leave ; 'and if we refused our consent to it he would run away, and take his chances." t "We'll see about that," said the farmer, angrily. "Consent to it ! rather think not ! I won't consider it for a moment. What 1 would he be worth a year from now if, I let him got He'd fall in with all sorts of rascals in the city, and get us all into trouble. Besides, I need him here. It'll be ten years, at least, before Harry can take his place, and he's got to stay, if I have to tie him down."' "Why don't you make him want to stay, Eiil" asked the gentle voice of his sister-m-law. "If he's got the nity feyer on him all the talking in the - world would'nt do any good," rejoined the farmer. T'He wouldn't listen to a word." : "Don't talk. Don't let him ever sus pect that you are aware of his desire to leave you. Try a new-plan, Eli, a plan I have been thinking of all day." "The best plan I know of is to tell hnn rmy mmd ireely, without -any beating - about the . bush : and the sooner it's done the better." ".Now, hill, don't be above taking a woman's advice. Let me tell you how to deal with George. ; I have been here three months now, and have tasen a deep interest in the boy. 1 have seen his dissatisfaction, and recognized the cause. . I have overheard him talking to Jasper Flint more than once, and only yesterday I heard him say that if he went to the city what he' earned would be : his own, but that here he worked from dawn to dark, and was no better off at the end of the year than' at tbe beginning. "He said that Tom Bly the, who is in a grocery store in the city, gets twelye dollars a week. and Tom is only seventeen.'. , Now, if you want George to stay on the farm, give him an interest in it, Eli. ; He is eighteen years old, and ; has worked faithfully for you ever since he could talk plain. Me has had bis food and lode ing, and two suits of clothes a year, to be sare, but all he- actually owns is that collie dog which is always at his heels.?: You even sold the only horse you had that was fit for the Bad die. j And George was extraordinarily "It seemed a pity to keep a horse that no one bui George ever 'rode,' sAid the farmer, "and she was too light for work. I'm" a poorman, Hester, and . can't afford ' playthings for; my children." - v , - . ' "You can better afford to keep an orfr. hnma i,n ho vnnr unn to Wva von. VM: Whom o.nnU von cat who would take the interest in the work that George does T ; You have The third official trial of the dyna thought it only right that George mite cru8Cr, Vesuvius, has been made, should do his share toward running the farm, and have considered your duty done in irivine him & home. You are disposed to think him ungrateful be cause he wants to leave you now that j every year makes . his- service more valuable. " . But; the boy is ambitious, j and is not satisfied to travel in a circle. He wants; to make some headway. And it is only natural.' The farmer leaned "his head on his hand, a look of deep thought on his grave weather-beaten face. His gentle sister-in-law's - plain speaking had given rise to thoughts which had never before entered his mind. "I believe you're mor'n half right, Hester," he said at last. "I'll think it all over tonight, and make up my mind what to do. I'd be lost here without Geore-e. and ho shan't leave the farm if I can help it." "Force won't keep him, Eli, re- member that," and Mrs. Lucas feeling that she had said enough, folded up her work, and taking up & lamp from a shelf by the siove, went np stairs to her own room. - Just at day-break she was a roused from a sound sleep by the sound of horse's hoofs in the yard, and looking out of the window she saw EH trotting away on old Roan. "Where can he be going at this hour T" she thought. ' When she went down stain at six o'clock, George was standing near the kitchen table, having just , come in with two full pail3 of milk. His face wore- a - discontented, unhappy look, and he merely nodded in return for his aunt's cheery "Good morning." A few moments later his father - en tered, but George, who had gone to one of the windows, and 7. was - looking out dejectedly, did not even glance up. "You were out early. Eh," said Airs. Lucas. "I heard , you - ride away at davbreak." "Yes, I went to Pine Ridge on a matter of business." "That's where you sold Vixen,papa, isn't it V asked little Harry, and Mrs. Lucas saw a quiver pass over George's face as the child spoke. . . "Yea, my boy, I sold Vixen to Law yer Stanley. George," turning to his son, Tve made up my mind to part with that fifty-acre lot by the river. What do you think of that t" : S " "Of course you are to get a good price for it, sir," said the young man indifferently. "It's- the best piece of and yon have." "But 1 haven't sold it. 1 am going to give it away." "Give it away!" replied George, roused out of his indifference, and staring at his father as if he thought he had not heard aright. "Yes, deed it over,' every inch of it, to somo one I think a. great deal of, and who deserves it," laying his hand on his son's shoulder, and his voice breaking a little. I am going to give it to my son, George Harewood, to have and to hold, as he sees fit, with out question of advice.", ; . "To me! You intend to give that fifty acres to me, father!" ; "Yes. my boy, and -with my whole George, and I only wish I were able to do more for you. But I'm not a rich man, as you know, and 1 have your mother and the three little ones to pro vide for, too. Still, I want yon to have a start, and this fifty acre lot will yield vou a handsome profit. You can have three days in the week to call your own, and that will give you a chance to work it, and if you choose to--break in that pair of young oxen I bought the other day from Bagley, you can have them for your trouble." "This this seems too much, sir," stammered George. "I don't know how to thank you." "Too much ! Then I don't know what you'll say to this," and the farm er took his son by the arm and led him out on the porch. 'There's another present for you, my boy.'V "Vixen!" The word came from George's lips with a long sigh of joy, and with one bound he was at the side ot the little biacK mare he had never thought to see" again, and had both arms about her neck. "Oh, father, Fd rather. have V ixen than anything else in this world V -' ;v And he buried his face in the pretty creature's mane, and in ; spite of his eighteen years, fairly broke dowm,and sobbed aloud. - :.That ended George's desire to leave the farm. He was neyer again heaid to mention the subject, and he grum bled no more about the hard work,snd the monotony of his life, but in every way tried to show his appreciation of his father's kindness. In fact. Eh Harewood was wont to say occasionally in confidence to his wife, that he had reason to bless his sister-in-law for her good advice, and that he owed it to her that he had a staiwaTt arm to lean on in his advanc ing years. , But George never knew to" what he owed'the change in his fortunes.

' , j " . .' ASYLUMS. i It gives me great pleasuie to ' state that the insane asylums are in fine con- ditien, ably and well managed, and do- ing a grand work for humanity,. : I call your attention to the report of the Board of Directors ioi the term ending November 30, 1886, which eon- tains the plans proposed for such an enlargement. - The appropriation of $33,500 annnilly for two yeara,accord- ing to this report, will provide for an additional wing which would accomo- I date two hundred and fifty . additional patients,jmaking the total capaoitT five hundred and fifty patients. This refers to the Baleigh Asylum The Morgantou Asylum can. accom modate from four hundred and fifty to five hundred patients. The directors ask an appropriation of $85,000, for 1889. and $94,000 for 1890. t They es; timate the number of patients the fir j year at four hundred and fifty, and the second at five hundred. This is a per capita of only $187.60. This is econo mical, and shows a determination on the part of the worthy directors to do the work well for as little money as possible. INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF, DUMB AND THE BLIND. 7. - I congratulate the state upon the steady growth and improvement of this well managed institution. " With this additional number of pupils, and the necessary additional expense in curred, they have exceeded their -appropriation only in the small sum of $17.57. They ask for repairs and other articles they deem necessary, and es' pecially do they ask for a hospital. to theit report for the facts upon which this request is based, that you may Bee that their recommendations are well founded and deserve your earnest con sideration PENSIONS. By the law of Tbe Code, chapter 45, and the laws of 1885 and 1887,the state has acknowledged and attempted to meet the acred obligations she owes to hei disabled and destitnte'soldiers. The laws mentioned, though well intention- ed,"are wholly inadequate. By the acts and amendments of 1885 and 1887, the sum of $30,000 was appropriated to a certain defined class of soldiers and widows of deceased soldiers, in the ex pectation that each entitled would re ceive the sum of thirty dollars. The number of soldiers drawing pen sions are 1,083; the number of widows drawing pensions ai e 1,63S; total 3.708; allowance for each soldier and widow, $8,25. . This is wholly inade quate. The allowance under The Code, chapter 45, seems to have given satis faction.' I recommend that ample pro visions be made at least to feed and clothe the soLiitrs who are b h des titute and disabled, and' the um paid 6hould be in proportion to the disability and destitution. North Carolina has commenced the work, and she can take no step backwards. " ' THK STATE GUARD.
