M. 5909); Specially Calculated for the Latitude and Longitude of North Carolina From the Horizon and Meridian The only conclusive evidence of a man's sincerity is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away; but when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possession of him. - Selected. - Webster's Dictionary contains over fifty thousand words. Mr. Jones says that when he came home late the other night, in the space of fifteen minutes his wife applied them all to him, including some extra ones and the fire shovel. Good for Mrs. Jones. - "Joshua," said a Yankee mother to her hopeful, at breakfast, "what's an heir apparent?" "There's one on the butter, mother," replied the unfilial youngster. And the old lady "lit" on him with the coffee pot. - A little girl who had often heard her mother speak of her father, who was somewhat bald, as being a self-made man, asked her one day, if her father was a self-made man, why he didn't put more hair on his head. - "My dear, you're as good as gold," remarked Spilkins, as his little daughter rushed downstairs to greet him. "And what's more," replied the youthful Matilda, "I'm rapidly coming down to par." - After a wedding ceremony which occurred in a Baltimore parlor, the husband whispered to his brand new wife, as they approached the door, "Mary, have you got any small change?" - A rare flower - the pink of politeness. - In time of sickness the soul collects itself anew. - The corruption of the best produces the worst. - He who does what he likes does not what he ought. - Wanted. - One of the arrows that Cupid shot. - A spur in the head is worth two in the heel. - Don't fail to learn that faith is often the sense for facts as set above all fallacies. - Don't get so anxious over impending storms that you shut out all present sunlight.

There is nothing gained, as a rule, by starting in too early in the spring. It is better to wait until our heavy rains are over. If the ground can be plowed early, so as to admit of another plowing later, well and good. If not, plow when the land gets in good condition, and can be worked without packing it. Keep the young pigs growing through the spring and summer as much as possible; where there is plenty of milk for them, this is easy enough; and while there is scarcely any food that will quite take the place of milk, a little rye ground with corn, and wheat feed, mixed, forms an excellent food for them; clear corn is too heavy feed for young pigs. Everything should be done to secure seasonableness in planting and in doing everything on the farm, so as to have the advantage of the best growing part of the season, and of nothing being neglected. By promptness the crops are gotten in on time, and the farmer is ready to give them the necessary care as soon as they are up sufficiently to allow of cultivation. For the smaller seeds it is better to let the ground lay for eight or ten days after plowing to settle down somewhat, as by planting in freshly plowed ground, if a dry spell should come
