THE ANGELIC HUSBAND.
T. B. ALDRICH.
There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There aré-husbands who in public-are
ag smiling as the morn :
There are husbands who are wealthy,
~There ate famous ones and healthy,
But the:real angelic husband"well, heTs
never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That wheneTer their wives are absent
they are lonesome and forlorn,
And while now and then vou'll find
one
Who's a really good and kind one;
But the real angelic husband"oh,
heTs never yet been born.
So the woman who is. mated
To a man who may be rated
As ~pretty fairT should cherish him tor-
ever and a day,
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect quite in every feature,
F | He has never been discovered, and he
wonTt be, so they say,

Farming DonTt Pay.
We hear this so often that we had
concluded that it must be so, but it was
our pleasure to meet a farmer yest rday
that had no such complaint to make
Here is what he has done at the busi-
ness. Four years ago he bought a
farm, without a dollar, promising to
pay $1,000 for it. The first two years
after he bought it he paid for it, and
since then has built a dwelling that has
cost him $500, and in addition has
bought another tract of 19 acres of land.
He does not owe a dollar and has bread
and meat enough for the year. His
tobatco crop this year will bring him
over $1,200. He has done allthis with
one horse and one hand besides him.
self. Nothing succeeds like success,
and Mr. J. T. Jordan, of Ceffo, is a
success. He is the man who has done
this. Why canTt others doas well ?"

himself. When he left his home to
start life for himself he weat empty-
handed. He was already some months
over 21 years of age, but he had noth-
ing in the world, not even a suit of
. respectable clothes; and one of the first
pieces of work he did was oto split 400
rails for every yard of brown jeans
dyed with white walnut bark that
~| would be necessary to make him a pair
~of trousers.� He had no trade, no pro-
fession, no spot of land, no patron, no
influence. Two things recommended
him to his neighbors"he was strong
and he was a good fellow.
His strength made him a valuable
laborer. Not that he was fond of hard
labor. Mrs. Crawford says: oAbe was
no hand to pitch into work like killing
- | snakes,� but when he did work it was
| with an ease and effectiveness which
compensated his employer for the time
he spent in practical jokes and extem-
poraneous speeches. He would lift as
much as three ordinary men, and oMy,
how he would chop!� says Dennis
Hanks.- oHis ax would flash and bite
into..a sugar tree or sycamore, and
| down it would come. If you heard him
fellinT trees in a clearinT you would
say there was three men at work by
the way the trees fell.� Standing six
feet four, he could outlift, outwork and
ontwrestle any man he came in contact
with. Friends and employers were
proud of his strength, and beasted of
it, never failing to pit him against any
hero whose strength they heard vaunt-
ed. He himself was proud of it, and
throughout his life was fond of compar:
ing himself with tall and strong men.
He drové the oxen on the removal
THinois, he tells us, and, according to
~ja story current in Gentryville, he suc-
ceeded in doing a fair peddlerTs,busi-
ness on the route. Capt. William Jones,
in whose fatherTs store Lincoln had
spent so many hours in discussion and
story-telling, and for whom he had
worked the last. winter he was in Indi-
sana, says that before leaving the state
| Abraham invested all his money, some
tairty odd dollars, in notions. oA set
f knives and forks was the largest
item entered on the bill,� says Mr.
Jones; othe other items were needles,
pins, thread, buttons and other little
domestic necessities. When the Lin-
2qlns reached their new home near De-
catur, Tl, Abraham wrote. back to my
father, stating that he had donbled
them along the road.�"McClure SMage

Angling by Electric Light.
One evening recently two anglers, one
a resident of New Haven, tried the in-
teresting experiment of fishing in Sea-
ford-bay by electriclight. A fisherman
of New Haven rowed the anglers from
the railway pier soon after six oTclock,
when it was completely dark. A port-
able battery with a five-candle-power
imcandescent lamp was taken, and this
lamp was lowered until a weight below
it, touched the bottom at 25 feet. Both
battery and lamp were specially made
for the trial, and the lamp was protect-.
ed by a galvanized crinoline and was
made watertight. -When it reached the
bottom of the sea, there was, it is
stated, a circular area, 20 yards in diam-
eter, brightly illuminated right up to
the surface. Fishing was carried on
with an ordinary line on the port side,
the lamp having been lowered on tHe
starboard side of the boat."Scientific

Among the visitors to the city this
week is ~Deputy Sheriff Crews, of Gran-
ville county. He is the first negro dep-
uty sheriff seen in Raleigh since the
days when Radicalism flourished, and
was quite a lion. But it was not this
distinction that made him thé biggest

sell of osavage� fame not excepted.)
He is the Representative who intro-
duced the resolution that , passed the
House of Representatives to adjourn
that body in honor of Fred Douglas.
The resolution was as follows :
oWhereas, The late Fred Douglas
departed this life on the 20th iastant,
and
oWhereas, We greatly deplore the
same ; now, therefore,
oResolved, That this House adjourn
at 12 oTclock to-day in honor of the de-
