She was the second to erect a government or state insane asylum, one of the Carolinas leading in this respect, since 1843, when the Indiana legislature found it necessary to take up the question and in 1865 the state took more advanced grounds and adopted the policy that all of the insane, both curable and incurable, were wards of the state.

An' tell him that the darkest night is just before the day, Don’t talk graveyard polaver, but say it right out loud, That God will sprinkle sunshine in the trail of every cloud.

It is said that a class is formed which is made up of those who go as visitors and others who just “drop in.” It is facetiously called the “hobo class.” Os course this name is not recorded in the secretary’s book, and may not be known to the superintendent, but the fact remains that many who attend the Sunday school know what is meant when reference is made to the “hobo class.” —Ex.

He offers to sell 100 grains for twenty-cents, or the whole ear for two dollars. The victim buys only to find later on, it is nothing but ordinary corn. A unmber of ears of corn are dexterously cut and then glued together to form one large ear.
