60 gat the ihiltew. 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. must be disc o a tierce, can be to ad dress .ourselves aril, is THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1867. 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. Isa Jfamilg aai Jam. 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 bellious generation, the people o’ this town, and it will tak’ us baith to manage them ! ” v Dress for Church. —lt is said that Queen puts on a very plain dress and leaves Ml jewelry when she goes to the house of The sin that thousands of Ameri (■■fc "nmit, by putting on all the fine mm and to attend the house . them of the reward ■ the judgment. 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. Female Schools. HIGH SCHOOL, The exercises of this School will be resumed the 2d Monday in January next.
