Of course I know that, as a rule,
sensible men fall in love with the
most sensible women of their ac
quaintance, see through all the
pretty deceits of coquettish beauty,
never imagine themselves loved
when they are not loved, cease
loving on all proper occasions, and
marry thb woman irtost fitted for
them in every respect--indeed, so
as to compel the approbation <<1*11
the maidyn ladies in their m-
hood. But oven to Ibis rule an ex
ception will occur now and tlnn in
the lapse of ceiuuries, and I think
the deep love a man sometimes h...-
for a sweet, rounded b < ssom-like
dark eyeu girl, of whose inward
seif he is realiy very ignorant comes,
out of the very strength of hi-
tiau'ie, and not out of any incon-
si.-tciu weakness. Is it any weak
ness, pray, to he wrought on by ex-
qi.isi*c music? to its wondrous
harmonies searching the subtlest
windings of your soul, the delicate
fibres of life where no memory can
penetrate, and binding together
your whole being, past and present,
in one unspeakable vibration; melt
ing you in one moment with all the
tenderness, all the love that has
been scattered through the toilsome
years, contracting in one emotion
of heroic courage or resignation all
the hard learned lessons of self-
renouncing sympathy, blending
your-present joy with past sorrow,
and your present sorrow with all
your past joy ? If not, then neither
is it a weakness to be wrought upon
by the exquisite curves of a
woman’s cheek, and neck, and arms
by the liquid depths of her beseech
ing eyes, or the sweet childish pout
of her lips. For the beauty of a
lovely woman is like music; what
can one say more ? Beauty has an
expression beyond and far above
the one woman’s soul that it clothes
a;> the words of genius have a wider
meaning than the thought that
prompted them; it is more than a
woman’s eyes—it seems to be a far
off mighty love that has come near
to us, and made sjieech for itself
there; the rounded neck, the dimp
led arm, move us by something
more than their prettiness—by their
close kinship with all we have
known of tenderness and peace.
Tbo noblest nature sees most of
this impersonal expression in beauty
(it is needless to say that there are
gentlemen, with whiskers dyed and
undyed, who see none of it what-

We doubt if in the whole extent of
the Lnited States, a better bituminous
coal can he found than is afforded by
Dade and Walker counties, in Georgia.
The seams vary from one to four feet.
They are so situated, for the most part,
as to afford an admirable opportunity
of working them to advantage. The
quantity is sufficiently great to supply
the State for an indefinite period.
They are situated from three to eight
miles from Trenton on the Wills Val
ley Railroad, in Dade and Walker
counties, fifteen miles from Chattanoo
ga and twenty miles from Ringgold, on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
A railroad from the coal field and iron
beds to Ringgold is now chartered with
§15,000 per mile State aid.
The eagerness to reach this valuable
deposit defeated itself last winter-.
Five different railroads were chartered,
which were to he coal and iron roads.
This multiplication distracted the at
tention of the people of that section
and prevented anything like unanimity
or concert of action. As a conse-
j queuce, neither of the roads have been
commenced. We hope, during the
further developments.

This new invention contemplates im
mense saving in labor and material in
the cultivation of cotton—it looks to
the gathering nt one time of the entire
crop like all other crops, it looks to
remedying the great and growing want
of the age, viz: the scarcity and cx-
peusiveness of labor.
The plan proposed is this; to allow
all the cotton or as much thereof as
cannot be conveniently and economi

to remain on the stalk until the frost

§400,000 in a single year. I think
that my estimates have been small
and my calculation not at all exorbi
tant So much then for raising oi#
own horses and mules and hogs at
home.
While upon this particular branch,
I will endeavor to give some of my
personal experience upon the subject.
Since the war, I have adopted the
plan of keeping fewer aud better hogs,
which I find is the best policy for me.
I spared no expense or trouble in my
efforts to obtain the very best breeds.
My object in this waft not oiily to de
monstrate tha superiority of good stock
over the common; hut to show the re-
atiye^c^q^b^food oanimuod* 1
peas that I used in feeding six head of
Chester white pigs until they reached
the age of six mouths, when they
weighed a gross aggregate of 1,200
pouuds. During this time I fed them
with 18 bushels of corn meal and the
same quantity of pea meal, making an
aggregate of 36 bushels to the six pigs,
worth iu the market §1 50 a bushel.—
Tliis was daily made into slops of Irish
potatoes, squashes and other cheap
articles of food, to which was added a
litttle salt, allowing 200 pounds for
gross, we have 1,200 pounds of pork
wortli twelve and a half cents, giving
a net profit of §71 in six months from
six pigs. Now I ask why can we not
raise our pork a&feheap, if not cheaper,
than it is done in Kentucky, provided
we procure the best breeds and use a
little industry and economy ?
.My present system on my farm, is
to urge each family of freedmen to
shoulder a part of this responsibility,
and raise as much pork as will do his
family. Should he fail in so doing, as
is sometimes the case, I am ready to
sell him jvhat he needs and wait until
he can pay me. In this I have suc
ceeded very well, and by distributing
stock in,this way, they will be apt to
receive much better attention than
in two teaspoons cold milk. Rub the
cream-tartar in the flour; stir the eggs,
sugar amt flour a minute, and add the
soda when it is ready to bnke. This
makes three pies. Split them when cold,
and put in the following cream:—
Cream for Pies.—One pint milk,
one cup sugar, one-half cup flour, two
eggs. Beat eggs, sugar and flour tageth
er and pour into the boiling milk. Fla
vor with lemon or vanilla.
Rejidy for Indigestion.—Half
an once of ground Turkey rhubarb;
one drachun of sulphate of quinine;
onedrachun of extract of sarsaparilla.
Put the sarsaparilla Into a cup with
three or four teaspoonfuls of cold wa
ter ; let it stand till dissolved; then
add the other ingredients. Make it
into a stiff paste; it will then be ready
to make into pills with the use of a
little flour. Tho whole costs but a
small sum and makes nearly one hun
dred pills. The dose is two pills every
other night.
Always have* job for a- reiny day,

To Clean Feathers.—Dissolve
four ounces of white soap, cut small,
in four pounds of water, moderately
hot, in a basin, and make the solution
into a lather by beating with a small
rod. Then introduce the feathers, and

Indicator of the Weather.—
The color of the sky at particular times
affords wonderful good guidance. Not
only does a rosy sunset presage good
weather, but there are other tints which
speak with equal dearness and accura
cy. A bright yellow sky in the even
ing indicates wind; a pale yellow, wet
a neutral gray color constitutes a fa
vorable sign in the evening, and oh
unfavorable one in the morning. The
clouds arc again full of meaning in
themsdves. If their forms are soft,
undefined, full aud feathery, tho weath
er will be fine; if their edges are hard,
sharp and definite* it ifill bq foul Gen
erally speaking, any deep, unsusual
hues betoken wind and nun; \yhile the
more quiet and delicate tints bespeak
fair weather.
The wheat crop in the Southwestern
portion of the State of Virginia is said
to be the most promising since the war.,
A large acreage has been seeded, and the
prospect is exceedingly good for a large
crop. I r v ' • ■: a vgo f'T
both large and small, will be at once
gathered and carried to the gin-house,
wlicu by another machine invented by
the same party, all the unopened bolls
will be at once opened and the cotton
picked from them, as well as the al
ready opened bolls. In this way all
the exponse of hand-picking will be
saved, and the entire crop will he se
cured, whereas now the picking of that
which opens by sun or frost is exceed
ingly costly and very irksome to the
planter, besides which from one-fifth to
one-third of the entire qrop is lost, by
reason of many bolls never opening.
It may not be generally known, but
it. is nevertheless true, that every boll,
no matter how green or small, even if
no larger than a marble, has good cot
ton in it, and by this process all this
is saved. Besides this, all the cotton
boll hulls will thus be saved at the gin
house where they can be readily util
ized for manure.
The principal features of this valua
ble invention are as follows: In front
of a wagon the body of which is lower
behind than in front, are arranged two
stationary horizontal cvlindexs, open
at the top, with inefiued planes tend
ing to a common centre, about these
revolve cases upon which are arranged
rows of curved teeth or combs, these
ore me nuuc -tias acqui
in.
ti > remove the cream too soon. Many
neat and thrifty bouse wives make
a practice of “skimming up” the
milk at stated intervals, so as to be
through with the job.* This is of
course very pleasant, but it involves
considerable loss, as they do not
get the full cream from the newest
milk. The milk should all bo skim
med at the same age, provided it has
had the same conditions as regards
temperature, etc. It follows, then,
that some milk should be skitns
med every night aud morning.—

Banter, Whiteville, N. C., in the
“Carolina Farmer,” says:—Our
mode of cultivation is on the arbor
system, and not to train to stakes.
We plant our vines, say thirty-two
feet apart each way, set the posts
in squares, about eight or eight and
a-half feet apart, rail on top, aud so
continue until the vines meet over
head. The pruning knife is used
only to train tho young vines, for,
as the arbor is extended, the power
ful tendrils with which nature has
supplied this vine, will cut offmany
branches, and thus relieve the parent
plant of its superfluous wood. This
tendnl seizes upon a young scion,
wraps its wiry coil around it, and
finally cuts it in two, nn/j the dead
portion at last falls to Hhe .ground

The Best Place for a House.
—“Gossiper” says: “ Winter or
Summer, except in a stormy time,
there is no place so comfortable for
colts or tired work horses as a good
pasture lot. To tic up a horse at
night in a narrow cell, with a plank
floor to stampon, is a specimen of
cruelty that civilization ought to be
ashamed of. If the jxior animal
must be confined like a convict in
a dungeon, for pity’s sake let him
have his head, and give him at least
twelve feet square, with a soft dry
floor to stand or lie on. In the
large cities land is worth more mon-
where they arc kept in large flocks. ,
