§out|ern fainter. Atlvlro to Girls. \V** truth * tho follr-wing extract fr* **ti u very sensible articles,’in the Cincinnati Commoner, of the 24th ultimo: She should remember that she is two young to know her own mind, and that, as a general thing, it is not worth knowing. Girlish attachments and girlish ideas of men, are the silliest things in the world. If you do not believe this statement, ask your mothers. Ninety-nine times in a hundred they will tell you that they did not marry the boy they fancied—fanci ed before they had a right to fancy anybody. If you dream of matrix mony for amusement, and for the sake of killing time, I have tnis to say, that, considering the kind of young men you fancy, you will do quite as well if you will hang a hat upon a elothes-prop, and wor ship it from your chamber window. It is during this period of unsettled notions and readily shifting attach ments ihat a habit of flirting and a love of it are generated. I suppose that coquetry, in its legitimate form, is among a woman’s charms, and that there is a legiti mate sphere for its employment, because, except in rare natures, it is a natural thing with your sex. Nature has ordained that men shall prize most that which will cost an effort, and while it has designed that you shall at some time give vour heart and hand to a worthy man, it has also provided a way for making the prixe he seeks an apt parently difficult one to win. it is a simple and beautiful provision for enhancing your value in his ryes, so as to make a difficult price of that which you know to be un speakably easy. If you hold your selves cheap, and meet all advances with open willingness and gladness, the natural result will be that your lover will tire efyou. I introduce this subject here, not because I wish to, but becuse l am compelled to, in order to explain what I have to say upon the habit and loveof flirt ing. To become a flirt is to metamor phose into an immodest proceeding that which by natural constitution is a harmless and useful instinct This instinct of coquetry, which makes a woman an object to be won, and which, l suppose, all wo> men are conscious of possessing in some degree, is not a thing to be cultivated or developed at alL It should be left to itself unstimulated and unperverted, and if, in the earliest stage of your woman-hood, you do violence to your nature by initiating shallow attachments and heartlessly breaking them, or seek ing to make impressions for the sake of securing attentions which are repaid by insnltand negligence, 3’ou make of yourself a woman whom 3’our own sex despise, and whom all sensible men who do not mean to cheat you with insinceri ties as mean as your own are afraid of. They will not love and they will not trust you. This instinct, then, is not a thing to be harmlessly played with ; and I know of few more unhappy and unpleasant sights than a girl bringing into her womanhood this passion—harmful alike toherselfand others. The natural and inevitable influ ences of devoting your thoughts— spoken, written or unexpressed—to the subject of love and marriage, while your mind is undergoing a process of crystallization, is to de ter that process, to vitiate it, and to make 3'ou unworthy in many ways. It is all important to .you at this time to have the counsel of a good sensible woman, who .-hall be your senior by at least ten years. She should be a married woman, and, by all means, your mother, unless there be some natural bar to entire communion between you.. J)o ii-■thing, and give a cherished en tertainment to no thoughts, which you are unwilling to reveal to this w oman. If your companions per sist m keeping subjects of this char acter before your mind, leave them cut them, It is accessary, while your educa tion is actively in progress, that M.-ijr perceptions be kept healthful, and your sentiments unperverted by thoughtless tampering with a subject which you will sometime? come to know is one of the most serious moments. It spoils a girl to get the idea into her head that marriage is the chief end of woman, t hat education is but a preparation for matrimony, and that accom plishinents are nothing but contri vances for catching a husband, A farmer's house should always be retired enough from the main thorough fare to escape the noise and dust inci dent to travel, and this gives room for the exorcise of taste in cultivating and ..,| ( ,r.iiii.•■ the premises. it is said a strict buttermilk diet will I cure dialietcs. . Floyd County, Ga., March 15, 1872. Editor Farmer and Artisan: In your psper you say " write for us.” Well, l don’t know whether you are talking to me nr not, but I concluded to give you a trial any way. You have a correspondent in this county, to-wit: Judge Davis, who is a very successful farmer, and whose advice and exam ples are worthy' of notice and imitation. But I write only to enable my brother farmers “ to avoid the rock upon which I split.” Weil, it was not a rock, either, upon which I split, but it was a cotton l>cd almost us hard os a rock. Some two years ago I selected about two acres of sandy up-land for a cotton patch. I commenced working upon it some time before planting time. 1 broke it up good and deep, and then I would lay of! about eight rows and run my wagon by the side of them, so as not Id cross them, and carried manure out of the wagon in a half bushel measure and poured it in pretty thick. And then I would lay off eight more, ami so on. I then threw two furrows on it with a small turn plow, fully a month before'planting time; and at planting time I threw two more fur rows and planted with a cotton-seed planter. My-cotton came up and looked very well for a while, but soon began to die out. But before it began to die out I was bragging to m3’ neighbors that I had two acres of cotton chopped out and worked over and laid by. They asked me how that could be. 1 told them I expected to make as much by my extra work as I would otherwise on four acres, and so I called two acres of the work already done. But my cot ton seemed to be infested with a little black bug, and kept on dying out, and I began to replant the missing places with corn, using the hoe corner-wise— the only way the bed could be jieactra- ted with a hoc at all; and upon reflec tion I concluded the corn roots could never get out of that little hole, and as my cotton was new nearly all gone, I put my plow In across the cotton beds and planted corn. I raised a little corn, but not a pound of cotton.— About this t’l.-.e my wife says to me one day: “ Look here, what do you mean by wearing your Sunday hat every da}’?” “Well,” said I, “wife, this Miscellaneous, Legal Notices.

The Sandersville Georgian tells what an old farmer of thct«ounty “ knows about” ground peas .as follows: We beard an .old former, the other day, giving his experience in the culti vation of the ground pea. Said he, I planted an acre of good productive laud in them. They grew finely and were easy to cultivate. In the fall I turned my pork hogs, one hundred in number, upon this lot. The first day the hogs went all over the lot, ns if looking for the best. I had arranged a trough in one corner of the lot near a well for the purpose of supplying them with water. After eating their fill the hogs came to the trough for water, and near this made their beds. From the first day they commenced rooting for the peas near the trough and thus advanced day by da}’, going only as far as was necessary to obtain a full supply of food. Upon this lot I fattened this one hundred hogs thoroughly. After killing my pork I turned my stock hogs upon the lot, and upon eating the re maining peas they all liecame fot, some of my breeding sows so much so that I feared the}’ would never be of further service as such, and I converted them into pork also. He remarked that lie gave his hogs no corn at all, and flic consequence was his bacon and lard was too soft. A little corn should be given a short time before killing sc as to harden the fat. Horse.

Although each succeeding number afford* a fresh pleasure to its friends, tho real value and )icaut v of The Aldine will be most appreciated .af ter it Las been bound nn at the close of tlie year.— W li i le <»t her pu hi ic pu hlications may cl.ti m su i>erior cheapness as compared with rivals of a similar class, The Aldine is a unique aud original conception — abuie and unapproachml— absolutely without petition in price or character. The (assessor of the volume just completed cannot duplicate tbe quan tity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost. The la!>or of getting The Aldine ready on the press is so great that reprinting is out of the ques tion. With the exception of a small nunihci spe cially reserved for binding, the edition of 1871, already exhaust.wl, and it is now a scarce as w ell as valuable book. NEW FEATURES FOR 1872. ART DEPARTMENT. The enthusiastic support so readily accorded to .their enterprise, wherever it has l»* en introduced, has convinced the publishers of The Aldine of the soundness of their theory tha^the American pub lic would recognize and heartily snp|H»rt any sin cere effort to elevate the tone and standard of illus trated publications. That so many weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive is not evidence that there is no market for anything better—indeed the suc cessor The Aldine from the start indirect proof of the contrary. With a population so vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher can choose his pa trons, and his paper is rather indicative of his own than of the taste of the country. Asa guarantee of the excellence of this departinent, the publish ers would ln*g to announce during the coming year, specimens from tho following eminent American artists: W. T. Richards, Granville Perkins, James Smiley, Wm. Hart, F. O. C. Parley R. E. 1’iguvt, Wm. Beard, Victor Nehlig, Frank Beard, George Smilev, Wm. II. Wilcox, Paul Dixon, Aug. Will, ' James 11. Board, J. Hows. These pictures are being reproduced without re gard to ex|M*nse by the very best engravers in the « country, and will bear the severest critical compar ison with the best foreign work, it being the deter mination of the publishers that The Aldine shall be a successful vindication of American taste iu oom|»etition with any existing publication in the world. LITERARY DEPARTMENT. W’here so much is naid to illustration and get up of the work, too much dependence on apjtrarances »iav very naturally be feared. To anticipate such misgivings, it is only necessary to state that the cditoi ial management of The Aldine has been in trust* d to Mr. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD, who six* received assurances of assistance from a host of the most popular writers and poet* of the country. THU VOLUME FOR 1872 will contain nearly ;u*> pages, and about 2.*»0 fine engravings. Commencing with the number for Tauuary, every third uutuber will contain a beau tiful tinted picture on plate paper, inserted as a frontispiece. Tbe Christmas number for 1872 will b© a splendid volume in itself, containing fifty engravings, (four in tint) and, although retailed at $1, will bo sent without extra charge to all Yearly subscribers. A CHROMO TO EVERY SUBSCRIBER was a very popular feature last year, and will be repeated with the present volume.
