While we do not desire to disparage any of the agricultural publications which are now receiving public patronage, we do not believe that any of them exactly covers the ground which we propose to occupy. We intend to issue a first-class paper, both as to matter and execution. We shall employ the best taleut which the country affords in every depart ment. and we intend to spare no pains to make the paper a reliable authority to all seeking infor mation on everything relating to The Farm und the Household. Eminent practical agriculturists will contribute articles concerning the Preparation and Culture of the Soil. Skilled Horticulturists and truit growers will keep our readers posted in regard to the Garden and Orchard. Persons of acknowledged experience and skill in the raising and care of stock will devote tlnir attention to this important subject. The Domestic Department of the Household. The kitchen, the larder, the store-room, and tlie fowl yard—with approved recipes iu all branches of housewifery, shall be attended to carefully. We have made arrangements to illustrate the text with appropriate wood eugraviugs, and while tlie greater portion of the jiaper will be devoted to the instruction and benefit of the heads of the house, the amusement of the young people shall not be neglected. The covers and a few pages at the end of each number of the Southern Farm aud Home will he reserved for advertisements, and will he a most valuable medium for business men to communi cate with the public.

A Wedding in Civilized Life. • I lately had the pleasure of attend ing a wedding which reminded me of the good old ante-bellum days, piior to the discovery of petroleum—when the secrets ot the domestic circle were held sacred, and before the underclothing aid oilier paraphernalia of ladies were considered fit subjects for newspaper gossip. Our ancient and very seldom friend, Mr. Good C. Sense, and lhal truly fas cinating but obsolete young lady, Miss Prudence M. OJesiy, were the parlies married. A few of the intimate friends of each were present, but, as the mob of gossips and curiosity-mongers were peimilted to stay at home, tlie wed ding was truly a pleasant and rational afiiiir. The services were solemn and impressive and conducted by one eler gymrm, who seemed"to find no difficul ty in performing his pleasant duty without the aid ol “assistance,” so nec essary when such occasions are cele brated by the Fifth Avenoodles. Tlie bride was neatly and becom ingly dressed in very good clothes but no spangles. As she was dressed ail over she had no occasion tor blushing, but received the congratulations of her friends with becoming composure and a charming absence of giggle, which your grandmother will tell you was once considered eminently sweet and womanly. No rooms furnished with ot ientalmagnificence were thrown open for admiring interjections, and no dry goods were thrown out for display. As the happv couple were able to pur chase articles for housekeeping, they did not commence their married life as' connubial mendicants. Consequently no table, by way ofa contribiition box, was set cut for the reception ot bridal presents. I dare say the bride has a sufficient quantity of underwear, but being a la dy, she fell a lady’s repugnance to having such articles inventoried by Jenkins, and she did not furnish me with a fist thereof. Consequently I am unable to give you the number of each article, and cannot say how many are ruffled and how many are plain. The bridegroom having a true af fection fot his wife, declined to subject her to being pulverized or roasted alive on a railroad, and—escaping the per ils of travel—to certain dyspepsia by taking her around through our fashion able hotels. They are quietly settled down at there home, and as they rep resent a class of persons nearly extinct, they will have the good wishes of all who remember the. quiet unostenta tious and truly aristocratic bearing of the ladies aud gentlemen who were once the leaders and ornaments of American society. They are rapidly passing away, giving piace to shoddy. The tinsel and glitter and glare ofa wedding of “the period” resembles nothing so much as the spectacular dramas we have borrowed from the French, and a “brilliant wedding,” or ‘wedding ki high life,” ol the present day needs only a full orchestra, OfFcu- bach’s music and the Can-Can to make the illusion perfect. YUBA DAM. November 16, I860. 'famous as a remarkable public bene factor.—N. Y. Sun. P£ RFECTNEss"OF MAN HOOD. Sermon by Henry Ward Beecher. The text chosen by the Rev. Mr. Beecheryesterday was taken from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Colossiuus, iii., 14;—“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of per fectness.” Perfectness of manhood was tlie grand aim in view; but perfectness of manhood did not come in the lump. The great object could be gradually’ obtained, the Lord Jesus Christ being the model. There must be a perfec tion in ail the parts; perfectness ot manhood required a development of a full and healthy Condition of the body, because one part could not be separat ed from the other. It required a reg ulated use and discipline of the pas sions, because they were the enginery of life. The physical and spiritual con dition of man must harmonize for the more thorough development of the per fectness required, while the clear light of reason must lie thrown over all, like the windows in a dwelling house. Moreover, the understanding must like wise he developed, for it with the oth ers constituted the one organic man hood which religion sought. It was for that the Church was established, to educate men to that perfectness of manhood. Christ did not corne into the world to establish a Church ; He came to establish a spiritual manhood and develop truth ; An make men larg er and show them how they could be possessed of every a'tribute that God in his original designs intended for hu manity. It was that which the Church sought, and it was also the foundation stone of the New Testament. Con trast that with the current partialisms of life. There were a great many men who thought that religion was the foun dation whereon to be saved, and that all they had to do was to avoid sin and keep rid of it. Certainly the beginning ofa religious life was the forsaking of evil. But that was not the whole of it; for if the farmer spent all his time weeding and keeping the ground clear of weeds there would he no corn or other necessary productions from the soil. The reverend gentleman then referred at some length to the question of what he termed negative piety.- A man might be a Christian and sin ten times as much as another man who had not a single element of Christianity. There Always do what your conscience tells is your duly, and leave the consequence to God.” , A Two Hundred Mile Race.—A novel race occurred over the Bay view Park Course, San Francisco, on the 31st of October. It was a contest of endurance in the saddle between two young men, named Neil N'owrv and W illiam Walsh. The stake was $1,000 a side and a gold medal. The dis tance to be run was l\v,i hundred miles. Each man was allowed twenty horses, with no reserve. The contest began about nine o'clock a. m., and was fin ished in nine hours. Up to the one hundred and tent ft mile the chances favored Walsh, and the score stood : Walsh, 110; Nowrv, 107£. After that, several of Walsh’s horses shied and broke, and the severe exercise ot mount ing and dismounting wiih sufficient ra pidity, began to «lelj upon him, and No wry gained until the one hundred and twentieth mile, when the score stood even, and tie completed his two hundred miles in eight hours and fifty- eight minutes. His rival accomplished the same in nine hours and fifteen sec onds. The horses were of varied stock. Sporting men regard the race, under all the circumstances, as the greatest ever run on this continent. Pointed Advice.—The Rev. Ed ward N. Kirk, D. D., who has been pastor of the Mount Vernon Calvinistic Congregational Church, Boston, Mass., for many years, is one of the finest looking men in the Christian ministry. Straight as an arrow, active in his mo tions, with a piercing eye, and a clear, musical voice, he is as popular and as efficient to-day as he was twenty years ago, before he became what he now is—an*inveterate old bachelor. Sever al years ago, in the light of his early popularity, a wealthy lady of Boston sent him a note in which she offered him “her heart, her hand and her for tune.” The doctor, who is as sharp and as prompt in his replies as he is in his actions, gave her the following ad vice, byway of answer; “Give your heart to God, keep your hand for the man who asks you for it, and bestow your fortune upon the poor and the needy.” AVliy Mr. Pfabody Sever Married. It has been contended by some of our ablest thinkers, that the greatest amount of.good done in tlie world has been done by bachelors. Whether this be true or not, we often wonder that many men, famous for their kind ness of heart and generosity of disposi- tion, should remain single through life. There is n§ more remarkable case of this 3ort, than of the late George Pea body. It is said that in his history there is a romance that perhaps has never been made public. A number of years ago, when Sir. Peabody was just entering upon his ca reer of success as a business man, in Baltimore, he met by chance, in the street, a poor girl, who was but a child, but whose pleasing face and gentle manner attracted his notice. Question ing her as to her parentage and sur roundings, he found her in every way worthy his regard, and a fit subject for his benefaction. He at once adopted her as his ward, and gave her an edu cation. As she advanced in age, her charms of person as well as the bright ness of her intellect, won the affections of her benefactor. Through this rela tionship he had ample opportunity ol watching her progress, and day by day her hold upon his affections grew stronger. At length, as the ward bloomed into womanhood,thoqgh much her senior in years, Mr. Peabody ol- fered her his hand and fortune. Grate fully appreciating his generosity, and acknowledging her attachment for him as almost a father, she with great feeling confessed that honor compelled her to decline the acceptance ol this his greatest act of generosity, inform ing her suitor that her affections had been given to another, a clerk iu the employ of her benefactor. Though disappointed and grievously shocked, the philanthropist sent for his clerk, and learning from him that the engagement had been of long xluration, Mr. Peaboclv at once established his successful rival in business, and soon after gave his benediction upon the marriage of his ward. This, it is said, was the first blow his heart received, it is possible that from this episode came the inspiration that made the lu- lureof Mr. Peabody so universally dis tinguished, and has rendered his name were men who stayed at home the j propriety. Deacon livelong day—went to church of course, misfortune to lose hi ale aud slept—ilabby, phlegmatic men, who worked none, and finally died with some'exertion. The church was merely.established as an educating a- cademy where men learned how to be saved, but the church of itself could not save a man. After alluding to what he considered the fallacy of some men in believing that by belonging to a church they were on the sure path to salvation, he showed that true man hood must first be obtained, a large, Tlie Kissing Deacon. In one of our puritanical towns ofNew England, says an eastern paper lived Deacon Brown, a very staid, dignified sort of Christain, a perfect model of Brown had the wife, and at the age of forty had found himself with a family of four small children, without a mistress to his farm house. As he could not immediately take another wife a:ul avoid exciting scandal, and could not get along without some one to take charge of the kitchen and nurse ry, he had recourse to employing a young woman as house maid. Nancy Stearns was a laughing, romping beauty, who delighted in ex perimenting upon the Deacon, by way free, pure, true, loving manhood, grow- I of testing the strength ot human nature ing and developing after the pattern of j For a long time the Deacon was mvul- Jesus Christ. He besought them to j nerable, but at last, in a moment of build upon Jesus Christ, in the lan- [ unguarded weakness, he was led into guage of tlie apostle, and resting on * temptation and commuted a “slight that foundation they would be saved, indiscretion” with his beautiful house In referring to the many sects, trie dif- j maid. When he recovered his wonted ferent forms of worship existing ihro’- j coolnesss and presence of mind, be was horrified at the enormity of his sin. In vain he repented and grieved over lost virtue. Finally, as a last effort of eas- out tiie world, he remarked that we were all making a great ocean voyage. Some were on scows, some were on rafls, others clung to spars and logs, and if all reached the shore in safety it mattered not how they reached the shore. There were eminently good men attached to all forms of religious worship, and he believed they all had sufficient element of truth that would ing his conscience, at the services on the following Sabbath morning he a- rose and requested the forbearance of the brothers and sisters a few moments, when lie electrified them by making the following confession : “My Christain friends, you know go far to build up iu them true man- that I lost my wife some months ago hood. But all the component parts that constituted perfectness in manhood must be attended to, however appa rently insignificant. To be sure, hi.s head was belter than his feet, but he could not stand on his head. The, preacher closed by exhorting the con gregation to study the great object in view, and pointing out ibe happy re sult attending its achievement. N. 1. Herald. A Pithy Sermon.—Many a sermon has been spun out to an hour’s length that did not contain a tithe of the sound moral instruction and counsel to be found in the following brief and pithy sermon from the pen of that good man and racy wriier, Rev. John Todd: “You are architects of your own for tunes. Rely upon your own strength of body and soul. Take ffir your mot to, self-reliance, honesty and industry: for your star, faith, perseverance and pluck; and inscribe on your banner, “Be just and fear not.” Don’t take too much advice ; stay at the helm and steer your own ship. Strikeout. Think well of yourselves. Fire above the mark you intend to bit. Assume your position. Don’t practice excessive hu mility. You can’t gel above your lev el—water don’t run up hill. Put po tatoes in a cart over a rough road, and the small ones will go to the bottom. Energy, invincible determination, with the right motion, are the lexers that move the world. Civility costs noth ing and buys everything. Don’t drink; don’t smoke ; don’t swear ; don’t gam ble; don’t lie ; don’t deceive or steal ; don’t lalile. Be polite; be generous; be self-reliant. Read good books. Love your fellow-man as well as you love God. Love your counity ami obey the laws. Love truth. Love honor. (sobs and tears)and that Nancy Stearns has been keeping house for me. Aim you know that I have a little child not ja year old. Well, sometimes that child would cry in the night, and it would be a long time before I could quiet it; and last Tuesday night—God forgive me !—the child cried so hard that. Nancy arose and came into the room, and leaned over the bed, to hush the child—and brothers and sis ters, her leaning over me there made me forget Christ.” “What did you do ?” demanded the minister, sternly. “I—I—ki—ssed her!” stammered out the Deacon, between his sobs,” but I’ve been very sorry about it and prayed to be forgiven, a id I want you to forgive and pray tor me, brothers aud sisters ” As tlie Deacon bowed himself upon his seat like the mighty oak before the tornado, Deacon Good fellow arose and asioaished the audience slid more, by saying: “Brothers and sisters, you have heard what brother Brown has said : now he wants our forgivness, For my part I believe brother Brown is truly penitent, and I am willing to for give him with my whole heart. And, brothers and sisters, I will add still further that if I had no wile, and a pretty gir! like Nancy Stearns should come into my room and lean over my bed and lean over me, I’d kiss her, siu or no sin!” We hear from Rome says the Pall Mall Gazette of November 1st, that at the ap- proachiug Council, red, blue and white balls will be employed to represent the votes in the following tnauner : “The red will be affirmative, the bine negative, the white will express doubt or dissent, hesi> tation or scepticism.”
