Miscellany,
The Broken Vow.
“But let (lie world say wliat it will,
Tho* Sorrow may a while intrude,
For wisdom’s voice is faithful still,
“lie'll to be blest—is to be good,”
not come to-night,” said Em¬
ma as she looked out of her chamber on
tho still-and depopulated streets, and saw
the dark rain clouds gathering in the
sky; “he will not come to-night—it is past
his hour—lie did not used to be so care¬
ful about the weather—but'I will not in¬
dulge in disquietude—ho has promised.”
TheVord died upon her lips; she recol¬
lected the coldness—tho tone of ambigu¬
ity with which that promise has been re¬
peated, when Theodore last visited her;
and in a confused and embarrassed manner,
though with much parade of disappoint¬
ment, assured her that it would be ini
possible for him to Conform to his engage¬
ment, and marry her at the time appoint
jed. She'Ycmetnbered how her heart sank
within her at that mobient, and the strange
mysterious presentment that cro.ssed her
mind. Thfit, then, for the first time, she
thought how hitler a thing niust be dir>
appointed love: for the first time she felt
the force of the remark, which sue had sd
often heard:
Man’s vows aro brittle things,”*
Still the natural buoyancy df her spirits
forbade tier to despond. True, he had
not fixed the more distant period, he had
left the. final hour indefinite, but she had
his promise ; she had his oath ; she would
not believe hhn unfaithful; she could not
believe him perjured. At last after art
absence of a week, which seemed to her a
yeafr, lie visited the house again;, he
onee ily circle, more he mingled seemVd with tho smiling fam¬
the same he had al¬
ways been, and she was happy. But he
returned before the family; this cost her
a night’s rest. It Was not his usual mau
ncr, and she wandered why at this partic¬
ular time, he should have so much more
cd busing to thaq,.usual, (ho • Still,. *J** endeavor-*
put most fkvor blc construction
upon everything, she btrovc to acquit him
in herewn heart.
But lovo has eagle eye3 and from their
vigilance duplicity must be coupled with
Consummate art, if she would avoid detec¬
tion. Emma was caressed by a large nurn
her of acqaintanccs, and Theodore was al
so a favorite, in parties they frequently
came together, and there, when the spir¬
its arc up, and all reserve thrown off, the
heart unmasks itself. There Theodore
often forgot his caution, and not only aba
ted his usual display of partiality for Em¬
ma, but lavished his fondness on another.
Tho gctiotoufj girl forgave him, and for¬
giveness becamo a crimo against her own
heart. &ho resolved to lead a more se*
eluded life, and in prosecuting her resolve,
she found ample evidence of what she
mosj feared. Ilis visits grew less and
less frequent, until at length, they were
duicuntinucd altogether.
M oman-likn in the deepest of her sor
rows, she retired, as it wero, within her¬
self, arid sccurtb in the confidence that
not even her dearest friends or relatives
knew anything of her disappointment; she
nursed her grief in secret, and put on a
as sweet, if not as gay, before the
world. But heroically as she played this
now nnd deceptive part, her feelings grad¬
ually obtained the victory over her frame;
she pined and pined away, day by day; tho
paleness deported health bleached her
check, ItnJ sho roved in the stillness of
—•>* °i '.«* &•
the|^, in the chuich yard, like a thiu
sljadow of the past. Noue knew hep
ffriel but he who knew the cause, and lie
shuddered at the ruin lie had made.
Her friends perceived with concern the
rapid decay of her health; and as her fam¬
ily had some relatives in Bermuda, they
resolved to send her there. The voyage
had a salutary oUsct; the change of scene,
aud the kindness she experienced in h$r
abode, dispelled much ofthat chccrfesa
gloom that pressed upon her heart, and
added life to her inanimate frame. ’ ’y ffi
j glow of health gradually returned, and she

Having left Philadelphia with the in

iously for the opportunity, but a variety
of causes prevented it, year after year.—
A beautiful family of boys and girls grew

up around her; her husband was deeply
I engaged in an extensive business, and
twelve years passed by before she was able
to-accomplish her wishes, in all which
time she had never made any inquiry
-about or once heard of her former lover.—
Now Mr. Before retired from business,
and proposed accompanying her, with the
family to America. They arrived at Phil¬
adelphia in safety and rode up Walnut
street to the family mansion. It remain¬
ed unaltered. Her father and juother,
the old servants, her former friends who
remained, all welcomed her to her aneient
home. The shrubs ;she had planted in
the yard had grown up beautiful trees.—
Her name remained where she had en¬
graven it, on the sash of her chamber,
twelve year§ before. She sat down by it,
called back the recollection of times pass¬
ed by, and wept. Yet these were tears
of mingled joy and sorrow.
Mr. Before took a fine establishment in
Chestnut street, and lived in splendid
style. Emma used to ride out daily in an
elegant carriage with her infant family;
and as. had long been her practice, 6he
carefully sought out such objects of dis¬
tress as she doomed it would bo charita¬
ble to relieve. One day, as she was riding
in the surburbs of the city, she saw a poor
half-clad man lying on tl>c ground, and a
tattered child crying by {iis side. She
directed the coachman to stop, and calling
to the man, inquired why ho disregarded
the child, and whose it was. “It is mine,”
said ho. “1 came out hoping to get a
place for it in yonder house, and could not;
it is almost starved, and I have not the
means to^procure food for myself or it.”—
She gave him a small sum and directed
him to call at her house the next day.—
lie received with tears and promised com¬
pliance jJHk
At the hour appointed, the poor man
.with his helpless child waited in the
kitchen for the call of his benefactress.—
Mrs. Bcferc sent for them into the break¬
fast room, as soon as tho fjunily dispersed,
and wanted to know by what means 14
had brought his fajnily to poverty and
want.
The man spoko out honestly. Intem¬
perance, he said, was the great cause, but
his troubles had driven him to that.
“I once saw better days,” said he, “3*
was a partner in a mercantile business-—I
married—I was deceived. The mother
Of this poor child, after involving me in
ruinous debts, eloped with a libertine,
whoso address she had long received. I
drowned sorrows, and sank my charac¬
ter in habits of vice and intoxication. I
have been twice imprisoned for crime—I
am destitute of friends and employment.
“And what is your name'?-’ inquired
Emma.
“Theodore W- he replied, after a
‘moments hesitation.
Tho kind lady turned pale, and trem¬
bled ; she recognized in him the once
faithless Theodore.
At last then said she affecting to be
calm, “You have learned to keep yo.ur
promises—you havo called at the time ap¬
pointed—-1 will provide for yourself and
child.”
“Ah,” said he, “you know me. When
you asked me my name, I dare not tell an
untruth ; but I hoped it had been forever
blotted from youf memory. I watched
j'our prosperity and cursed my own folly,
until I had exhausted all my powers.—
But broken vows come back to their au
thor in the end, and mine have ruined me
for ever.”
He oovered his face aod wept. She
left him, and having consulted Mr. Lefero,
procured him a situation in an honest oc¬
cupation, and placed the child at school.
Thus was tho maxim verified. “All is
fer the best to the innocent and virtuous,”
and thus it is that vice works out its own
regard at last.

Dr. Abernethy, the celebrated physi¬
cian _ of Loudon, was never more displeas
*ed than *|Jjr having a patient detailing
tiresome acoounts of his troubles. A wo¬
man cognizant of that fact, called at his
office, ^jod showing her hand, said :
b “A
learned “A poultice,” quickly answered the
doctor. *
Tho woman rtturned next day and
said : „
“Better.”
“Continue the poultice,” said the doc
tor.
In a week the woman made her last
call—
“Well—your fee?”
“Nothing,” said the pleased physician ;
you are the most sensible woman I ever
saw.” #

PIANO vs. PLOW.
BY MBS. JULIA CARNEY.
Glancing idly this rainy morning at'one
of our city dailies, my attention is .attrac
t^Qiy a line under the well-known head
oi^^fints to Fanners.” “Don’t buy a pi¬
ano for your daughters while yriur sons
need a plow.”
Now, being a Yankee, I shall venture
to j|gue§s,” as, should if I were certainly of the “bet,” masculine and
gefaer, I
that right heavily, that the man who
wrote those “Hints” had neither sons

no jnoney to invest in either plows or pi¬
anos. and he knew nothing of farming ex¬
cept 1vhat he had read about it. Neither
Was e writing in the country, amid the
songs of birds aud the happy myriad forms
of happy life. No, he was a poor, misera¬
ble, cynical old bachelor, who was con¬
demned for his sins to get up a proper va¬
riety for a newspaper, at st> much per col¬
umn, ahd didn’t get ivell paid for it. As
he sat striving for ideas in the fifth story
of a third-rate boarding-hotise, his land]a«>
dy’tf daughter was thrumming an old
rickety piano below; and *not daring to
vent hifi spleen upon her, he cowardly
took to abusing the unconscious piamj., -/

plantet as easily and gratefully as in an
elegant carriage, and far more usefully.—
Then, when they arc through the spring
work, and everything is growing without
their aid, let them in the pleasant even¬
tide gather around the pi^no, sons and
daughters* both, and be sure that piano is

.
I know a family of eight daughters, di¬
versified by only one baby boy. Beauti¬
ful, (mclligcnt, graceful girls they are, too;
but they assist their father through his’
miles of grahi, as well as it they belonged
to tho sterner sex.
“Who is that young lady,” asked I, the
first time I saw the oldest. “She looks
as if she were mado for a queen.”
“iio she was,” replied my friend. “She
reign^ hearts * than I
over more any one
know. Her father calls her his right
hand man,” added he laughingly, “for, be¬
ing an invalid himself, he Could hardly
manage the farm without ber.”
“She docs not actually work upon it
herself?” querried I with astonishment;
“why her hands are white and slender as
any lady’s can be.”
“And as useful as many lady’s can not
be/' said he. “She helps her mother get
up a good dinner, or her father to get in
a field of corn, with equal abilities. Last
week he wanted a plow repaired, but it
being a rainy day, dared not venture out
in his feeble health. She said she had a
little shopping to do in town, and so har¬
nessing their splendid horses with her
own hands with the large farm wagon,
she took the plow to the blacksmith.—
Proceeding to town, she mado her pur¬
chases, and on her return called for the
plow and brought it home.”
“She had not physical strength to man¬
age and lift a plow, surely ?”
but she had mental strength to
devise ways and means to accomplish her
ends. I asked her how she lifted It in¬
to the tvagoB. ‘Oh,’ spid she, ‘mother
helped'me at home, and the blacksmith
did it at the shop. Every one helps those
who help thcmstlyes,’ she added with a
woman’s skill in applying a moral.”
That young lady has a splendid piano—
draws music from it too—and makes it as¬
sist in maintaining and educating her
younger sisters, by giving music lessons
to all in her neighborhood who have tal¬
ent therefor, and whose parents are sen¬
sible enough to cultivate it as well as their
corn and potatoes.
Farmers, advice is cheap. A vast
amount of it Is given .gratis, now-a days.—
But don’t you ever listen to a word that
will divorce the useful from the beautiful,
either in the management of your land, or
the education, especially the pomo educa
tion^of your children. They need flow
brs as much as they need food; bopks and
papers F F as^ much as they J need clothing : •*> ;

they need anything under heaven.. Be
thankful, Western farmers especially, that
you can afford beth plow and piano; arid
let no one persuade you the one. drill in
terfere with the ether. Let no eagerness
in laying up a portion in the hank, or in
bonded estate, for your cbiHren, prevent
your laying up for them the memory
a home of culture and simple elegance.-*—

'Fearful Discovery.-'
The Indianapolis Sentinel of the 24th '
tells the following i n . .
Mr. A. Babb, a farmer who resides
about threc’miles west of this city, brought
a Btrange story in on Saturday. * Mr. R.
has . a son.-in law Uying on a farm about ,
four miles from Lafayette, named Mr. Mii
ler. Mr. M. has t German laborer, who,
in plowing over a corn field struck the up
per crust pf something, very much like
the infernal regions. A suffocating odor
was first omitted followed by a dense vol*’
time of smoke. According to the Ger-*
man’s statement, ’ the stench -was several
degrees , above . the flavor of i the .. Illinois T „. .
street gutter. A sheet of flame soon burst
from this terrible volcano, and a terrible
conflagration was eminent for a timtf but
the flames were finady saodued by a^V
shovelfuls of earth tossed into the mogth
oi’ the crater. The lava thrown out^fetflL
cd very much like Castile soap—only
was not so highly perfumed. . On the con¬
trary, it was cxceedyv^ly offensive. It
ignites easily and buu^s as freely as brim
stdrie. j
The Geroym was badly frightened, and
after viewing the scene in utter bewilder¬
ment, for a time, ejaculated : “Vcl dat ish
h—J l” W T c understand that Professor
Cox will examine the ground, and if it
should prove to be an entrance to the in*
fernul regions, he will send for Parson
Brownlow to look further into it. The
people of Lafayette arc greatly alarmed,
and already it is said that a roaring noiso
dart be heard underneath that doom cd city.
We await-further development with anx¬
iety. Many persons may think this a hoax,
brtt it is not. Mr. Babb doesn’t look like
a man who would decei ea whole com¬
munity about as trifling a thing a.s the
discovery of a hell in Indiana.

Importance of Punctuation.
An ingenions expedient was once devis¬
ed to save a prisoner charged with rob¬
bery, in the Criminal Court, at Doublin.
Tho principal thing that appeared in ev¬
idence against him was a confession, al¬
leged to have boon made by him at the
police office. This writing contained tho
following passage, without punctuation :
“Magnam said lie never robbed but
twice said it was Crawford.”
The meaning which the writer attached
to it was this :
.“Magnam said he never lobbed but
twice ; said it was Crawford.’*
Mr. O’Gorman, the counsel for the
prisoner, begged to look at the paper. He
perused it, and rather astonished the
peace officer by asserting that, so far from
proving his guilt, it clearly proved his in¬
nocence.
“This,” said the learned gentleman, “is
the fair and obvious rending of the sen¬
tence
“Magnam said he never robbed, but
twite said it was Crawford.”

Sign Post Advertising.— 2’fie Berk
ley Union says a mtp who is too mean to
advertise farm Jam! he wanted to sell, put a
written notice in one of the hotels the oth
er day. A man who was inquiring for a
small farm was referred to the written
tice. He replied : I can't buy land of a
man who docs his advertising in that way.
He’ll steal the fence, the pump handle,
and barn doors before he gives up pos
session.
What can be said of a merchant, who is
too stingy to advertise—one that tries to
steal the patronage brought to a place by
business men? Look out for short meas
lire, light weights and ragged change.
Of the children born in Parisjronc-fourth
are illegitimate, and one-third die before
attaining the age of five years, two deaths
occur among the illegitimate infants natfvc to one
among tho legitimate. The popu
lation ot the city diminishes by two-fifths
in each generation ; so that but for replen
ishment from without, the city would be

Dried Fruit. —The demand for dried
fruits of all kinds is increasing every year.
It will bo seen by Our advertising col*
umns, tliat Messrs. Huggins & Dobbs, of
this place, propose to pay the highest
markes prices for every pound of dried
blackberries that may be offered during
the season !
When it is remembered that every old
field, almost every lbtice-oorner in Nor¬
thern Georgia, is teaming with' finer black¬
berries than tho most careful cultivation
can produce at the North, and that hun¬
dreds who are not able to prirform hard
manual labor, can gather and dry them,
and obtain a fair price for them—say six
or seven cents per pound or possibly more
—is it not wonderful that they will re¬
main idle ? Suppose each person saves
but five or ten dollars’ worth—it is bettor
to have that tlu» nothing.
Thousands of bushels of fifte pcaehes
arc suffered to rot every year, which, if
properly dried, would yield a handsomri
income. Many persons think that tile
“ clings” alone arc suitable for drying.—
This is a great mistake—the ‘ clear stones”
are the best. They should be gathered
while hard, peeled and split open so as to
takeout the seed qud leave the peach in
two pieces. They will bo* a beautiful
bright color when dried, and will com¬
mand two or three cents'per pound moro
than those cui up fine or suffered to be¬
come too ripe. Try it .—Southern Watch*
