Where flowers exotic ever bloom, and wild birds

Their glad songs o’er my native Carolina's loneliest

And pleasure’s fairest mantle o’er my youthful heart

Where sorrows could not enter, and griefs could not
invade
Tie sunny home cf childhood devoid of daikeuing

In mus-ng* sweet I often sail across the deep blue sea,

And hear the voices, cherished still, that thrilled

Oh' that I may again behold those blissful sceuos of

EGYPT REUNITED.

Twenty-two TTears.
1KFLCEXCE OF MODERN CIVILIZATION ON THE
ORIENTAL RACE ASTONISHING SPREAD OF
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOSLEMS AND
FRANKS.
From a Regular Correspondent of the Tribuna.
Alexandria, March 14.—When we
passed Crete, two days ago, the north
wind—the very same “Euroclydon” which
once so interfiled with the voyage of St
Paul—grew finally tired of blowing, and
a light breeze, with the promise of Sum
mer on its wings, stole over the water
from the unseen Lybyan shore. The
gales which have convulsed the Medi
terranean this Winter left only a long,
uneasy swell beliind them, and we were
even glad to escape the sight of land,
coupled as it was m Sicily and Calabria
and Crete with that of abundant snow.
Winter is never so wearisome as when
one is trying to escape it. I saw Egypt
for the last time in 1852. when steamers
were just beginning to ply upon the
Nile, end a line of very rude omnibuses
crossed the desert from Cairo to Suez
about once a month. There had been a sur
vey for a railroad, I believe, but the first
spadeful of earth had not yet been
turned, and the Suez Canal was among
the things not only unprojected, but
almost uamentioiied. Abbas Pasha was
mtiking awkward attempts to introduce
the European military system, upon the
success of which further innovations
seemed to be” waiting; Soudan was
hardly subjected to the Egyptian rule,
and Gondokoro, now the starting point
of exploration on the White Nile, was
then its farthest limit. My own journey
to Central Africa was something so
unusual that it was considered hazardous,
for scarcely a dozen travelers had pene
trated into Nubia beyond the Second
Cataract.
All these conditions have been wonder-
ftdly changed, and now, in returning for
the second time to a country which, once
seen, forever after attracts, my chief
interest will be to ascertain wliat cor
responding change has taken place in
the condition, the habits, and the ideas
of the people. It is still an undecided
point how far the requirements of
modern civilization will—or can—be
accepted by any portion of the Oriental
race since there are so few which do not
interfere with either religious traditions
or social usages of nearly equal sanctity.
There is no permanence in an exotic
civilization, possessed only by the gov
erning class, as has been the case hereto
fore; but now that ship, canal, railway,
telegraph, and printing-press are owned
by Egypt, the native race must perforce
change or go under. This much by way
of explanation.
We took passage at Naples on the
Rubattina (Italian) line of steamers, in
consequence of reasonable recommenda
tion. The little, slow-going Sicilia, how
ever, with her berths in which you could
not lie at full length, her cabin iu which
you could uot stand upright, her delicate
sympathy with the least restlessness of
the waves, and her refusal to make more
than nine miles an hour under the most
favorable circumstances, was rather a sore
disappointment to the seven American
and four English passengers. But the
fifth morning came at last, balmy and
cloudless, and before noon the pharos of
Alexandria hovered like a faint streak
over the far sparkling water. The white
houses on the point, the Cape of Figs,
the glare of the sandy Libyan coast, the
windmills and clumps of stumpy, wind-
beaten palm-trees, rose and blended into
a low landscape, just as I had seen them
before. Then came a new mole, creating
a grand artificial harbor, with an inner
port, crowded with vessels. The water
was alive with boats; dolphins leaped
through the dancing ripples, and flocks
of snowy gulls circled in the sun or
dropped upon the waves. New-York
Bay, on a fair June morning, is notmoi’e
bright, breezy, and joyous. My former
smattering of Arabic deemed to come
back suddenly xx'itlx the necessity for
using it, and the vessel was barely an-
choi'ed before I bad bai’gained with a
boatman to take us ashore. In fact,
we got away so rapidly that a courteous
Egyptian officer was compelled to accom
pany us, in order that there might be
somebody to receive ns at the almost
deserted landing place. Passports are
still called for which seems a most unne
cessary regulation, since no fee is deman
ded ; a douceur of two francs to the
officer of customs stives the necessity of
opening trunks, and the traveler is then
admitted into the whirlpool of coach
men, donkey-drivers, and porters, wait
ing in the street outside. But the cnes
and gesticulations mean nothing serious,
and the stranger who has been frightened
by the representations of certain guide
books may possess his soul in peace if
he only keeps a serene countenance.
Show signs of timidity or bexvilderment,
and the uproar may rise to a fearful pitch;
announce your will briefly, and with an
air of calm authority, in either English, *
French, or Italian, and you will be uns
deratood, and finally obeyed,
la twenty inmates from the tuae we
by travelers of other nationalities.
I’ rench, xvhich until within the last few
^ ears xyas indispensable, has been slowly
fading into the background, and is alrea
dy less available than English for Italy
and all the Orient I was a little surpris
ed, m Rome, at being accosted by a
native boot-black xx'ith, “Shine up your
boots? In Naples, every peddler of
canes, coral, photographs, and shell fish
knows at least enough to make a good
bargain; but tliis is notliing to xxhat one
meets in Egypt. The bright, witted boys
leant the languagewith amazing rapidity,
and are so apt at guessing what they do
not literally understand that the traveler
no longer requires an interpreter. At
the base of Pompey’s Pillar to day a rag
ged and dirty little girl came out of °a
fellah lint and followed us, crying, “Give
me a ha penny ! All the coachmen and
most of the shopkeepers are familiar xvith
the words necessary for their business,
and prefer to use them even after they see
that you are acquainted with Italian or
Arabic. The simple, natural structure
of the English language undoubtedly
contributes also to its extension. It is
already the leading language of the world,
spoken by ninety millions of people
(double the number of tlie^ French-speak
ing races), so extending its conquest year
by year that its practical x-alne is in ad-
x’ance of that of any other tongue.
In the older streets, and especially in
the native bazars, all is gay, diversified,
Oriental. The faces, costumes, and dia
lects of Syria, Tripoli, and Tunis are
mixed xvith those of Egypt, and even
groups of xvondering Desert Arabs arc a
daily sight. I saw several this morning,
evidently very much puzzled by a collec.
tion of large children’s dolls in a shop
window; their faces were an interesting
study. But with what a simple dignity
they xvore their ragged burnouses ! What
fine, statuesque grace in every deliberate
movement or gesture! These pictures,
which meet you at every turn, give to the
newer portion of Alexandria, xxhich is
architecturally like Leghorn or • Marseil
les, a semi-Oriental character. Of its
225.000 inhabitants, at least 100,000 are of
European blood. It has more than
doubled in twenty year's, and the rubbish
of unfinished or demolished buildings
meets your eye wherever you go. The
banking capital of the city is estimated
at $125,000,000—not much less than that
of New-York, where, hoxvever, the amount
of business is not always an evidence of
the basis upon which it is carried on,
Where everybody rode on donkeys, in
1852, there are notf superb equipages,
and the rich merchants are buildings up
a suburb of sumptuous vallas and gardens
at Ramleli, four or five miles to the east-
xvard of the city.
We di'ox’e to the Pasha's garden under
fair sun shine through mild and yet
bracing airs; but the signs of a severe
Winter were risible in the nipped and
and dilapidated banana trees, the dull
hues of the palms, and the absence of any
but the x’ery first indications of Spring.
The sycamore, fig and mulberry trees
are still as naked and gray as in Northern
Italy; only the almond and apricot are in
blossom. The garden seemed to be under
a mysterious ban; Summer, Spring,
and Winter xvere mixed in the trees and
plants, as if Nature hail lost lier calendar
and xvere feebly endeavoring to find out
the season, A large military band in scarlet
uniform, played various clashing and jin
gling pieces to about a hundred auditors,
and half a dozen gardeners, in blue cotton
caftans, lounged about to see that the
fewgeraniums, roses, and gilliflowerswere
not plucked.
The x'etum along the bank of the Mah-
moudish Canal xxas altogether more
satisfactory. The winding water-course
has all the character of a natural river;
native villages have sprung up on the
further bank ; native craft toxved by men,
move sloxvly back and forth ; camels and
donkeys bring loads of lush green grasB
from the fields beyond ; croxvds of women
wash clothes or vegetables in the xvater,
and noiv and then you see a devout Mos
lem, turned toxvard Mecca, saying his
afternoon prayer. I remembered an
Egytian coffee house, shaded xvith palms,
but could not find it. In its place there
xvas a small Greek establishment, where
an inferior Mocha was brought to us in
Frank cups, and even the narghileh had
lost its former fashion. Indeed, our
going to such a place at all seemed to
surprise the Arab coachman, and to be
hardly welcome to the keeper of the cafe.
But what is to become of the Orient if
its characteristic features thus disappear?
With the cafe, the story-teller will go ;
next the pipe and the little cup of frothy
aromatic coflee; and finally, the cigar in
his mouth and a bottle of soda-water (?) be
fore him.
Moslem and Frank seem to live very
harmoniously here, side by side. The
former have either conquered their reli
gious prejudices or learned to suppress
the evidence of them. Even in passing
through the bazar of the Tunisians, who
have always been narrowly fanatical in
this respect a few words in their language
brought courteous and friendly answer.
Whatever Frank habits the people may
have adopted, they still keep their grace
and cheerfulness, their clamor for much
and their satisfaction with little. -1 am
inclined to think that a change of costqme
(which mfeans far more here than in most
other countries) must precede—or at
least be the sign of-—any important
change in their ideas.
If the Suez Canal has injured the com
merce of Alexandria, as was predicted,
the loss has certainly been made up in
other ways, for few cities of its si*e show
greater evidence of present growth sad
prosperity. Mr. Babbitt, the Ajnencan
Vice Consol-General, informs.** that
the trade with the United States has

President's Office, 7
Nashville, Tenn., March, 1874. /
Third Session of this Congress
vnll be held at Atlanta, Georgia, May 13th,
1874. This location affords to Northern
representatives an excellent opportunity
to learn something of Southern agriculture
and on this ground the selection was
strongly favored by the Northern dele
gation at Indianapolis. The necessarv
arrangements for the occasion will it is
understood, be ample and complete.
REPRESENTATION.
This is & purely representative bodv,
since by the amended Constitution, Agri-
tliA Too* i it ~ i[Cultural, or kindred societies, xvhich shall
br “r *7 I 0 ”"" 1 ”
defray incidental expenses of the body,
are entitled to one delegate each, without
reference to the number of membership.
This includes State Boards of Agriculture
Horticulture and Pomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, each Agri
cultural School or College, National, State
and Subordinate Granges; also State
Farmers’Associations and Farmers Clubs.
OBJECTS CONTEMPLATED.
By an annual gathering of representa
tives of the industrial and producing
classes from different parts of the Union,
representing every phase of Agricult ure,
from that strictly scientific to the
thoroughly practical, to eliminate and
treat of those interests of the farmer xx'hicli
are general; to consider agriculture in a
National, not local, point of view; to sug
gest remedies for the many difficulties
and disadvantages under xvhich the far
mer now labors; the promotion of an
intelligent understanding of Political
Economy in its relation to agriculture by
papers and discussions upon Finance,
Taxation, Commerce, etc., and it is de
signed as common ground where all the
elements, the open and secret, composing
the Farmers Movement, can come togeth
er, harmonize and unify the whole, which
is indispensable to insure success, and to
bring about economy and reform in the
administration of Government, and there
by restore the country to its pristine
purity.
The parting injunction of that great
and good man, Com. M. F. Maury, who
may be truthfully styled the high priest
of science and the sincere and able advo
cate of Agriculture in all its departments
in bis St. Louis address, was: “Foster
the Agricultural Congress, and among the
herculean labors that devolve upon a tru
ly National Agricultural Congress is the
strangling of monster monopolies and the
rescuing of the industries of the land
from odious tariffs.’’
In viexv of the representation, aims and
objects, and necessity of such an annual
convocation of representative farmers and
scientific gentlemen, and especially since
the farmer mind is thoroughly aroused
to the necessity of considering xvith the
greatest deliberation many questions
touching the industrial interests of the
country, and has noxv become ready for
vigorous and effective action, there is
every reason to expect a full representa
tion, and I therefore urge upon all con
stituent bodies, and especially the Patrons
of Husbandry, to bo represented,
It is especially requested that notifi
cation shall be made of the appointment
of delegates to Chas. W. Greene, Secre
tary, Indianapolis, Ind., at as early date
as practicable.

Ministers’ Wives.

greatly increased within the

one I positively deny that as a minister’s
wife she has any “peculiar duty.” As
Christian woman, the xvife of a Christian
man, her duties are many, but not one
more, at least out of her home, because
she is a minister’s wife. She is no more
obliged to be President of the Ladies'
Sewing Circle, than her husband is to be
Superintendent of the Poor House. Both
offices are worthy; there is no objection
to their filling them if they can do so
without neglecting duties that are nearer.
It is the duty of a minister’s xxife to as
sist in the Sunday School, the Benevolent
Society, the Missionary, or any other en
terprise, if she can do so without neglect
ing her oxvn family; but it is as a Chris
tian woman and not as a minister’s xxife,
that these duties devolve upon her. As a
xxife, it is her duty to visit her husband’s
friends if he and they wish it, and receive
them hospitably at her dwelling; but as a
minister’s xxife, it is no more her duty to
make pastoral calls than it is to prepare
sermons, or deliver them from the pulpit.
The society have settled a pastor, not a
pastoress.—His duty is to attend to the
spiritual xvants of his people; hers to
attend to all the xvants of her oxvn house
hold.
Ministers’ children have become a prov
erb and hoxv is it to otherwise if father
and mother are both to be employed in
taking care of other peoples’ fafliilies?
While she is working for the heathen
abroad, who is to take care of the little
heathen at home ? I have searched the
Scriptures carefully, and can find no in
junction to ministers’ xvives except one
indeed for deacons’ wives, but it relates
to home duties entirely. I cannot believe
if they xvere so different from the duties
of other wives, but that the difference
would have been alluded to and clearly
pointed out in the Scriptures.
Let ministers’ xvix-es have the moral
courage to stem the tide of public opinion
on this subject, by resolutely doing then-
duty as Christian xx-ix-es and Christian
mothers. Let each “look xvell to the
ways of her household," take the burden
of temporal care from her husband’s mind,
and train up her children “in the nurture
aud admonition of the Lord." God has
given her these, she received them will
ingly xvhen she first became a wife and
mother, and she has no moral right to
neglect them nor to delegate them to
others. The souls of her children are in
her hands, and in a great degree her hus
band’s also. Solemnly tjhall they be re
quired of her, and feeble, indeed, would
be the utterance, “Lord, I have given
those treasures unto my handmaid, and
she hath lost them.” Let her rather be
able to respond in the beautiful language
of the mother’s epitaph. “Here am I,
Lord, xvith the children thou hast given
me.”
Let her, as far as in her power, make
her husband’s house a happy home, from
which he may carry a heart filled xvith its
sunshine; a quiet home xxhere he may
pursue his studies; a calm home from
which he may go forth to the sanctuary
with a calm spirit; a loving home where
he may rest when xveary; a Christian home
where his faith may be strengthened. Let
her life be to him a lix'ing sermon, from
which he may ever transcribe xvords of
heartfelt eloquence, a hymn of praise ever
sounding in the depths of his heart.
Let her do this, and she hath done
more for his society than if she had made
many visits, xvas President of the Sexving
Circle, Superintendent of the Sunday
School, and Committee of one to attend
to ex-erybody’s business. She xvill besides
have a fair prospect of lix-ing to a good
old age with the partner of her youth,
instead of leaving him to the desolation
of early xx-idoxvliood, and her children to
the tenderness of strangers. It is noxv a
common i-emark that ministers are early
called to bereavement, and this is usually
supposed to be the result of their choos
ing intellectual companions, who have in
jured their health by study and thought.
I believe it to be neither, but the result of
the popular idea, that they must do all
their oxx n work, and half of their bus
band’s also.—Jamestown (N. Y.) Journal.

Grapes and Their Culture.
It is surprising that so many families
in the country are willing to live year
after year xx-ithout cultivating a single
grape vine about tlieir dwellings. They
are compelled to purchase tliis delicious
fruit for the table or not taste it during
the season. There is a common impres
sion that to cultivate grapes perfectly, a
vast amount of knowledge and taste is
equired. To many the simple trimming
of the vine is a mystery. This is an
erroneous view, and ought not to prevail.
Any person of common intelligence can
learn in an hour how to trim and nourish
vines; and if instruction cannot be obtain
ed from some experienced cultivator, there
are bookB filled with elite and illustra
tions, xxhich make everything plain. Three
vines of as many varieties, planted in
some sunny nook, or by the side of some
buildings so as to obtain shelter, xvill, if
