Sabbath Evening.
’Twas night, and o’er the desert moor
The wintry storm-gusts wildly blew,
, And so we closed our cottage door,
And round our cheerful wood-fire drew ;
Each joined the hymn of evening praise,
Then told a tale of Bible days.
First, Charley, in his little chair,
With sober face his tale began,
And told us of the faith and prayer
Os Daniel in the Lion’s den ;
And how the lions were afraid
To kill the righteous man who pray’d.
Then Henry spoke of Israel’s guide,
The cloud by day, the fire by night,
And said, whatever might betide,
To trust in God is always right;
For He is still, to those who pray,
A fire by night, a cloud by day.
And little Mary told of three
Who once a fiery furnace trod,
Because they would not bow the knee
In worship to an idol god;
And how, to save them from the flame,
The Son of God in glory came.
Then cousin Susan told of One,
Who kindly all our sorrows bore;
Though rich in heaven, on earth became
For us so very, very poor
That, though the foxes had a bed.
He had not where to lay His head.
The tale was told, a sparkling tear
Rose brightly to each youthful eye,
And then, in accents soft and clear,
Our evening hymn again roll’d high;
The little girl and little boy
Joined in the strains of solemn joy.
Then grandpa pray’d, that good old man
With wrinkled brow and hoary hair;
While all the little children ran
To kneel around his elbow chair ;
And thus the Sabbath evening passed
In peace and pleasure to the last.
Two Ways and Two Ends.
Two boys, whom I shall call James and
Charles, occupied the same desk at school,
and recited in the same class. First, they
studied book-keeping, then navigation, then
something else, but nothing pleased the indo
lent James. One day they were studying
surveying, and James began to mark on his
slate, as he had done before, saying: “O
dear, I am tired of these links and chains,
and squares and triangles. What use will
this ever be to me ? And besides, 1 can’t
understand it.”
“ I know,” replied Charles, “ it is a hard
study, and I don’t see what use it will ever
be to me. But my father knows more than
I do, and he set me to study surveying, and
I am going to study it, whether it will ever
be of any use to me or not. And as for under
standing it, 1 never saw any study I could not
understand if I put my mind to it. .1 should
be ashamed to be conquered by links and
chains, or any thing else 1 find in surveying.
You don’t catch me playing til-tat-to till my
lesson is learned.”
Thus sat these two boys side by side. The
one studied and the other played. The one
always had his lesson well learned ; the other
missed—or, if he could do it, he would de
ceive his teacher by looking in his book at
recitation. And there they formed their
characters ; when they left school and went
to business, they carried with them the same
habits. Charley took for his motto, “Busi
ness first, and then pleasureand he was
always applying what he had learned at school
to some useful purpose. But James found
business as tiresome and distasteful as his
studies. He was always intent on amusing
himself, and instead of making his employer’s
business his own, he was always studying
how to do as little as he could and keep his
place, and always glad when the store was
shut up, that he might seek amusement.
Charley rose rapidly in the esteem and
confidence of his employers, and in due time
became head clerk, and then partner, and at
length he became a wealthy merchant, owning
ships and stocks in railroads. He was a di
rector in a bank, and president of a railroad
company.
But James did not please his employers,
and never stayed long at one place. After a
while his father set him up in business, but
the same habits followed him. He neglected
his business, and spent his time in idle amuse
ments. In a little while he failed. Again
his father set him up and again he failed.
And this was repeated till he had spent his
estate, which fell to him at his father’s death ;
and seeing grim poverty stare him in his face,
he thought of his friend Charley, of whose
prosperity he had heard. He determined to
go and see if he could not give him something
to do.
Charles was very glad to see his old seat
mate, and shook him very cordially by the
hand, not seeming to notice the mean appear
ance of his garments. After a friendly chat,
Charles said to him : “Well, James, is there
any thing I can do for you?” James hung
down his head, and told him his want of suc
cess in business, and the straits into which he
had been driven, and he said he should be glad
of some employment that would give him a
living.
“ Well, my good friend,” said the merchant,
“I am glad you have come just at the right
time. I remember that you and I studied
book-keeping together. I want a book
keeper. The salary is $2,000.
Again Janies hung down his head, and
said : “ I never understood any thing about
book-keeping when we studied together, and
I have never been used to it. I can’t keep a
set of books.”
“ Well,” said Charles, “ I recollect that we
studied navigation together. I have a ship
that wants a captain. The salary is $1,800.”
“O!” replied James, “I never could un
derstand navigation, and l have forgotten what
little I did learn.”
“But you studied surveying. I have a
situation as civil engineer on a railroad at my
disposal. The salary is $1,500.”
“Indeed,” said James, “ that is worse yet.
I never gave my mind to surveying at school,
and I have never thought of it since.”
“ Well, then,” Charles again replied, “ you
can carry the chain, and that will pay you a
dollar a day.”
And the poor man was glad to carry the
chain for $1 a day, for he was not capable of
doing ar.y thing better—while, if he had im
proved his opportunities at school, and given
his attention to business, he might have had
his $2,000, SI,BOO, or $1,500 salary.
A Grateful Tiger.
A caged tiger had a live dog thrown to it
one day for its dinner. Not being very hun
gry, the usually fierce creature did not touch
the trembling little victim. This quietness
gave the dog courage, and he began to lick the
tiger’s eyes, which were sore. This act seem
ed pleasant to the wild beast, and the dog con
tinued it, from time to time, till the eyes of
this savage animal got well. The tiger from
that time took his tiny, four-legged doctor
under his patroiu» eej looked upon him kindly,
and allowed him to «at what he chose of the
food thrown into his den. Henceforth they
lived like bosom friends.

The Fruit of Care.
A poor girl in California picked up the cut
ting of a grapevine, thrown into the road, in
order to drive her mule with. She carried it
home, and though it was wilted and worn, and
appeared good for nothing, she stuck it into
the ground. “It has a little life left,” she
said, “ I will try and save it.” So she water
ed it, and watched it, and trained it, and took
as much care of it as if it were the most prom
ising shoot in the world.
Well, how did it reward her? In one year
after it was six years old, it bore five thous
and bunches of grapes, and each bunch weigh
ed one pound ; these, on being sold, brought
her a thousand pounds.
You see it is not so much having large
means to do with, as in doing the best you
can with small means.— Children's Friend.
“ My Bible Best.” —A friend was one day
visiting a little girl who was very ill, and he
asked her what book she liked to read best.
In a simple yet very earnest manner she said,
“7 like to read my Bible best."
Do you, my dear young friends, love your
Bible best, or do you prefer some other book ?
King David said, “ I love Thy laws above my
chief joy.” “ O how I love Thy laws !itis my
meditation all the day.” Love to read your
Bible, and should God spare your lives, it will
do much toward making you grow up to be
useful men and women.

Fating When Exhausted.
When the strength or nerve power is al
ready worn out, or used up, the digestion of
food only makes a fresh demand upon it; and
if it be unable to meet the demand, the food
is only a burden upon it, producing mischief.
Our bodies have been compared to steam en
gines—the food being the fuel and the steam
produced the nerve power. The analogy
holds good to a certain extent. If, when the
steam is low because the fire is low, you pile
in too fast a quantity of coal, you put out
your fire; and if you have depended upon
steam power to fan your fires, that is also ex
tinguished.
Beyond this, the comparison fails. You
may clean out your furnaces and begin again ;
but, in the body, the consequences of this
overloading are dangerous, and sometimes
fatal. No cause of cholera is more common
than eating freely when exhausted.
The rule should be to rest for a time, and
take some simple refreshment—a cup, or part
of a cup of tea, a little broth, or even a piece
of bread, any thing simple and in small
amount, just to stimulate the stomach slightly,
and begin to restore its power. After rest, a
moderate quantity will be refreshing.
Never eat a full meal when you are ex
hausted. Take first a small quantity of any
thing simple which may be handy and rest.
Then, after a time, proper food will be a bless
ing, not a burden. The fires will burn, the
steam will be up, and you can go on your
way safely.
It is not amiss in this connection to say,
that children would avoid many a feverish
night, and fnhny an attack of disease, if moth
ers would follow this rule.— Observer.
The Blowing Cave Georpyx.
BloWing Cave is situated on the plantation
of Col. David Barrow, Decatur county, Ga.,
27 miles from Thomasville, the terminus of
the Savannah and Gulf railroad. The cave is
at the bottom of a small natural basin (whose
diameter will not, at any point, exceed eighty
feet,) in a perfectly smooth plain, and sur
rounded with a dense copse of wood. There
are no indications to lead to the supposition
that it was occasioned by an eruption of a vol
canic or convulsive nature, as the face of the
surrounding country, as well as the immediate
neighborhood of the cave itself, is wholly free
from stones, ruggedness, and other marks of
convulsive action.
When first-discovered and brought into no
tice by Cols. Barrow and McKinsley, in the
years 1836 and 1837, the orifice of the cave
was 3 or 4 feet to the left of the present one,
and much larger. Col. McKinsley proposed
exploring it; but, in attempting to sound it
with lead and line, and failing to reach bot
tom, gave up the undertaking as too hazard
ous fur further venture.
The present mouth of the cave is about one
and a half feet in diameter, through which, at
one period of the day, there issues a strong
current of air—not in pulls, but a continuous
stream, with a roar that is heard at a distance
of sixty or seventy yards.
In the winter of 1864, in company with
several ladies, I visited the cave at the time
of its “ blowing out,” and, by way of experi
ment, one of the ladies threw her veil into
the mouth of it, which was blown into the air
to the height of six or seven feet. I then
threw my hat—a heavy woolen one—into it,
with a like result. Several articles heavier
than either of the above were tried, and were
immediately expelled.
At another period of the day, the suction
is relatively as great. Any light article held
near the orifice is instantly drawn into the
cave.
Dr. Cotton, the State geologist, a gentle
man of high scientific ability, visited it at the
solicitations of Cols. McKinsley and Barrow,
and gave it as his opinion that these reverse
phenomena were caused by the ebb and flow
of the tide, and that the cave was originally
one of the fathomless lime-sinks so numerous
in that portion of Georgia. I believe the
doctor’s theory correct.
Leading from all points into the basin are
Indian trails, deep worn, indicating much vis
iting to the cave by the red jnen ere the axe
of the white man woke up the echoes of the
forest; and it was probably regarded by them
as a place of sanctity, where they held com
munion with the spirits in the great hunting
ground above.— Mobile Daily Times.
Too True.
When a rakish youth goes astray, friends
gather around him in order to restore him to
the path of virtue. Gentleness and kindness
are lavished to win him back to innocence and
peace. No one would suspect that he had
ever sinned. But when a poor, confiding girl
is betrayed, she receives the brand of society,
and is driven from the ways of virtue. The
betrayer is honored, respected, esteemed, but
there is no peace for her this side of the grave.
Society has no loving, helping hand for her—
no smile of peace—no voice of forgiveness.
These are earthly moralities unknown to
heaven. There is a deep wrong in them, and
fearful are the consequences.
“ Both to Manage Them.”
Dr. Guthrie tells an amusing story about a
simple hearted, but rather weak-headed man
in the North of Scotland, who got Into the
pulpit of the village church one Sunday be
fore the minister. “ Come down, Jamie,”
said the clergyman, as he walked up the aisle,
“ that’s my place.” “Come ye up, sir,” re
plied Jamie, “ they are a stiff-necked -and re

and it will tak’ us baith to manage them ! ”

A Sharp Thrust.
A Rochester urchin unconsciously perpetra
ted a great joke at the expense of his teacher,
the other day. The lady was announcing to
her pupils the holiday, February 22d, and
asking them some questions concerning its
observance ; among others, why the birth-day
of Washington should be celebrated more
than that of any one else. “ Why,” she ad
ded, “ more than mine? you may tell me,”
she said to a little fellow eager to explain.
“Because,” he exclaimed with great vivacity,
“ because he never told a lie.”
Sardines.
The lovers of sardines should know that
the fish which furnishes them with such a de
licious repast, belongs to the herring family,
and genus alosa. The popular name was given
to it by Cuvier, who was the first to assign it
to a distinct place in the finny tribe. He
called it sardina, from which it is known as
the sardine. Sardines are caught principally
along the coast of Brittany, and, to a less ex
tent in Portugal. The fisheries employ a large
number of men and women. The fishing ves
sels—of eight or ten tons each, and carrying
a crew of from six to ten —go out two or three
leagues from the land, and watch for shoals of
fish. When they see them, they spread their
gill-nets for them, and scatter on the water
the bait which has been prepared, and which
consists of the eggs and flesh of fish, especial
ly of cod and mackerel, and, sometimes, of
salted fish. Large quantities of sardines are
taken in this way. Some are salted on board,
and others are carried on shore, and eitheih
sold fresh, or prepared for shipment. For
the latter purpose, they are salted and packed
away in tin cans, with melted butter and olive
oil, which is poured upon them in an almost
boiling state. The cans are sealed up to pre
vent the air reaching the fish, and are then
ready for shipment.
Drying Clothes.
By observing the treatment which clothes
receive after they have been washed and are
ready to be rinsed, we are led to affirm that
while few understand the best method of ma
king clothes clean, fewer still know how to
rinse and dry them properly. Abundance of
water should be used, and the clothes moved
about in it freely, and lifted up and down, so
that water may reach alike all portions
of a garment. It is better to have the rinsing
water warm, especially where a clothes
wringer is not used, as warm water softens the
fabric and makes it more pliable.
If clothes have not been well washed, do
not try to conceal the fact under a cover of
indigo. Half washed clothes, if much blued,
have an intolerable look of falsehood about
them ; we would rather see them hung up to
tell their own story of uncleanliness. If the
weather is favorable, clothes will bleach in
the process of drying. Days when we have
sunshine upon snow, the light is most intense,
and therefore clothes bleach the best on such
days. Every woman accustomed to observe
these things, knows that she need not expect
clothes to look well, if dried in a strong wind;
if it is convenient to do so, leave them lying
jn the water until the air is quiet. If at any
time it is found necessary to hang them up
when the wind is blowing, let them be taken
from the line as soon as dry.
' Nothing wears clothes-more than the whip
ping and snapping get on a windy dSy
yet it is not uncommon to see Clothes chafing
away at the line and tearing away at the pins,
after all the moisture has been taken away in
exchange for foreign particles which the wind
has brought, perhaps, from some distant sand
bank. Linen wristbands suffer particularly,
and the housekeeper may expect to replace
them often who leaves the shirts to be stretch
ed horizontal to the earth’s surface and fretted
by a gale.— Western Rural.
Okra.
Dr. Camak communicates to the Southern
Cultivator the following from the “ Transac
tions of the Southern Central Agricultural
Society : ”
Okra belongs to the family of the cotton
plant, and like cotton, it is extremely tender,
consequently will not bear planting before the
last of March or the first of April. It may be
planted in drills three feet apart, and as it in
creases in size, thin out to three feet in the
drills. To have early “Gombo Soup ” the
earliest pods should be saved for seed, but
those stalks from which pods for eating are
gathered, should not be allowed to mature
seed. As fast as the pods become hard and
unfit for the table, cut them off. They will,
if left on the stalk, destroy the productiveness
of the stalk. By keeping them free from
ripening seed pods, they will yield until frost.
Okra, in good soil, will make almost a tree,
but it is no advantage to have such monstrous
stalks, as it is difficult to gather the pods, and
the roots take up as much nourishment as a
tree, which mostly goes to the formation of
stalks, with but little benefit to the pod. Any
soil that will grow cotton will grow Okra.
The pod may be preserved for winter use by
putting them down in salt, like cucumbers, or
by splitting the pods and drying them in the
shade.
Stirring the Soil.
Repeated stirring of the soil we regard as
almost, if not quite, as essential to good and
successful cultivation as manure. Indeed, we
have known good crops taken front land that
was counted as “ too poor to raise beans,” by
merely repeated plowings and harrowings.
Expend money first in draining, if you have
heavy, clayed, or naturally wet soils; then
plow, plow, plow, as often and deeply as you
please. The more, and oftener, and deeper
the soil is stirred, the better will trees or
plants grow and fruit. The mechanical action
of the soil, and its permeability to atmospheric
influence, is too often lost sight of, and many
a piece of ground on which manures have
been placed until it has got to be what is
termed “fat” and unproductive, only needs
repeated stirrings and opening to the action
of atmospheric elements to bring it to the
highest and most profitable condition.—Hor
ticulturist.
Cutworms.
From my own observations, it appears
these worms are never able to crawl the length
of their bodies up a perpendicular bank of
earth, before they lose their foothold and fall.
If my supposition is correct, that these worms
come mostly from surrounding fields, I have
thought that a single deep furrow around the
outside of a field or garden, when the worms
are first beginning to appear, (any break in
the land side of the furrow being repaired
with the hoe,) would form a barrier over
which it would be impossible for them to make
their way, thus protecting the whole field ef
fectually, at a very .trifling cost. — Dr. Asa.
Fitch.
Dr. Fitch is a very careful observer, and
the above suggestion may be worthy of trial.
It is very certain that cabbage plants, when
set in a trench, four or five inches deep, are
not molested by the cutworm, and head equal
ly as well, if not better.—So. Cult.
Cisterns. —A correspondent of the Coun
try Gentleman writes to that paper on the
way to have pure cisterns, as follows: This
spring my cistern got quite filthy, and a great
many angleworms in it, and we could scarcely
use the water- I procured a couple of live
fish and put them in the cistern, and since that
time it has been free from wdrms, and dirt,
and smell. The fish will live and grow finely.
Onions. —“ Onions,” says Dr. Hall, “ are
one of the most nutritious, healthful, and de
testable articles of food found in our markets.
We never ate one to our knowledge, and never
expect to; we can smell them a mile off, per
haps. A few grains of coffee, eaten imme
diately afterwards, or a teaspoonflil of vinegar
swallowed, removes at once the odor of the
breath. If onions are half boiled, and the
water thrown away, and then put into soup to
be boiled ‘ done,’ the odor will be but little
noticed.”
A Jug Worth Patenting. —A clergyman
in the West, meeting an emigrant travelling
with his faniily, noticed on one of the wagons
a large jug with no bottom, and asked why
he carried that with him. He replied that
that was his Taylor jug. On asking him to
explain, he said : “ 1 had a son in Gen. Tay
lor’s army in Mexico, and the old general
always told him to carry his whisky jug with
a hole in the bottom; and since that time I
have carried my jng as you see it, and I
think it the very best invention 1 ever met
with.”
Carrots. —As a root crop for feeding to all
kinds of stock, the carrot is unquestionably
the best. Those who have spare ground, not
required for other purposes, will do well to
prepare it for growing this root. Repeated
plowings, commencing early in spring, and at
each successivefturning of the ground deepen
ing the furrow an inch, making the last plow
ing about the last of May, and sowing imme
diately, we have found to give us a good crop
with comparatively few weeds.
Poison. —A poison of any conceivable de
scription and degree of potency, which has
been swallowed intentionally or by accident,
may be rendered speedily harmless by swal
lowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual
with a very strong constitution should take
twice the quantity. This oil will neutralize ev
ery form of vegetable or mineral poison with
which physicians and chemists are acquain
ted.
A Good Rule. —l once knew a gentleman
who, whenever anew novel came out, would
inquire with animation, “Is it thrilling? Is
it thrilling ?" and, when assured that it was,
would invariably refuse to read it.
