Banished all their graceful foliage,

And the golden hues of full
When the earth is cold and lifeless,
Wrapped iu snow whito funeral pall.
Growing then moro green aud lovely.
The immortal Mistletoe;

And the dreariness surrounds it.

H’lth bright memories of spring time.
Every leaflet seems to thrill.
So when age h is come upon us,
And our hair is turning gray;
Gone are all the chains of childhood,
Manhood’s joys have passed iway;
As we pass on towards the winter,
Of our life’s declining years,
Memory like the green mistleto
With bright thoughts each hour endeared
Memory so green aud deathless,
Of the happy hours past.

Memories of lx yhood's dreamiuga,
Will bright images aglow,
Memories of happy meetings.

Rice Culture.
We copy the following article on
the culture of rice from the Talbot ton
Register. It was written in reply to
certain question* propounded to Mr.
Gm man by Col. A. H. Ri ey, ot But
ter, Ga., nml was published tor the
ben<fit of the pubic. We give it
space because of the importance of the
rice crop ns a chc p and wholesome
food for man and beast. The straw is
more nutritious, more healthy aud
more easily saved than fodder. Rice
will grow on moi-t land, win re no
other grain wi I grow. It wid yeild
double as mill'll on any kind of land
as corn, aud requires but little labor.
Mr. Gorman has devoted much aiten
tion to the growth and cleaning of
rice, and is well calculated to give
infoimxtion about its culture.
We hope our tanners will p ant
largely of this important grain. Tty
■t. Mr. Gorman has a sploDd ti mil'
for cleaning the grain, and dot s it as
nicely as the ini.ls ol Savannah or
elsewhere. Planters in the joining

A a s artling event occurred las
week in the Methodist church at
Leiter’s Ford, Indiana, which many
regard as a dircet iuterpos tion of
Pioviil nee for the puni.-i ment. of the
cff r. During a, ofracted revival,
Elias Bidinger, a married man, aged
about 25, and Robert King hud been
disturbing i tie meetings t v making
sport of file services. On Wcdues
il .y night about seven y 6v-- persons
were present. During the exercises
Bidinger and King began to cieatea
disturbance Mr. J< ties, the minis
! Weill to • xpos ula e w tb tin in,
laid his hand upon Biditiger’s sboul
de‘, and urged him to change hi- way
of life. Biding' r repli and with atioath
t:;at he would never change his ways.
A : evv moments afterward, while Mi
cbeal S mile wa leading in prayer,
lightning flashed in>o the church, ex
ti igui-lied all the I gilts, killed Kidin
ger and prostrated King upon the
■ ■or. King as soon ns he returned
to consciousness, ca led upon- the
spectuiors to pray tor him, and de
declared himself converted. The oc
curiance resulted in swelling greatly
he ranks of sinners seeking salvation
into that church.
A Itefunal to Fight.
John Farrago, a Pennsylvania mi
litia captuin, once declined to fight a
duel iu these words:
Sir:—l have two objections to this
duel business. The one is lesi Isltou tl
hurt you; the other is lest you should
hurt me. Ido not see what go- dit
would do me to sh' ot you. I could
make no use of you when dead for
any cu inary purpose ns I would a rab
bit or a turkey. I could not <at you.
Whv, then, nevertheless, shoot you
down? A onffalo w<>uid make bet.rei
meat iltan you. For, though your
head may be delicate and tender, ii
wants that firmness aud ooDsis ency
that takes and retains suit. It might
make a good barbecue, it is tiue, bt
ing of the nature of a raccoon or
opossum; but I do not like barbecu and
meat.
Besides, it would seem a strange
thing for me to shoot at anything
tli.it stands still to be shot at, as Ia n
accustomed to shoot t things flying
or running or jumping. Were you
on a tree, now, like a squirrel, trying
to hide yourself in its brane es, and
I could, spy you through intervening
boughs and leaves, I think I should
enjoy taking a shot at you But as
it is there is no skill or judgment in
either discovering you or bringing
you down.
As to myself I do not like to stand
iu the way of anything haniilul. I
am afraid you migln hii me I shall
C uis quentiy stay ala distance. If
yon want to try your pis ols take some
object, such as a tree or a door about
my dimensions. If you hit th l send
me word and, and I will publicly ac

Early It Ding.
Bob Ingerioll, ihe sinner, occasionally
lakes a shot at old adages. In a speech
lately delivered before ibe Illinois farm
rs, thu- attacks the adage "Early to bed
and early to rise:”
"It is not necessary in this age of the
world for farinui to rise in the middle of
the night, and begin bis work. Tain
ge ting up so early in the morning is a
r lie of barbarism. It has made hun
iieds and thousands of young men curse
the business. There is no need of get
ting up at three or four o’clock in the
winter morning. The farmer who per
sists in doing it, and persists in dragging
his wile and children from their beds,
ought ;o he visited by a missionary. Ii
is time to rise afler the sun lihb set ihe
example. Foi what purpose do you gel
up? To teed ibe cattle? Why uot feed
h~ra more the night before ? It is a
waste of life. In the old times they used
to get up about three o'clock in the
morning, and go to woik long before the
sun had risen "with h>-aling upon his
wings,” and as a just punishment u,e_\
all had the ague.”
Cheese made from Potatoes.
A foreign paper says cheese is made
from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxon'
in the manner described below. Possibly
the process may be found * orth tiying
il not piofitab'y in this country:
After having codected a quamity of
potatoes of good quality, giving ihe pre
f-'enee to a large, white kind, they are
boiled in a cau.dron, and after becoming
cooled they are peeled and reduced to a
pulp, either by means of a grater or mor
tar. To five pounds of this pulp, which
ought to be as equal as possible, isadden
one pound ol sour milk and the necesa
y quantity o f salt. The whole is knead
ed together, and the mixture covered up
slid allowed to he fm three or four days
according to the season. At the end ot
this tuna it is kneaded anew, and the
cheeses are placed in liitle baskets, when
the stipci flnous moisture escapes. They
are then al owed to dry iu the shade, and
placed in large vessels, wh re they mu.-t
r-main for fifteen days. The older the
cheese are the more their quality im
proves. Three kinds are made—the first
and mo-l common is made as detaile '
aboy-; the second, with four part
potatoes and two parts of curdle milk:
lie third, with two parts of potatoes and
tour parts of cow’s or ewe's milk These
cheese have this advantage over olhet
kinds, that they do not engender worm*,
and keep fiee a number of years, pro
vide I they are placed in well closed
vessels.
Artificial Butter.
As many of our readers do not know
h iw artificial butter is made, we copv
lie following from the Price Current:
"lhis is an at tide marie by disiilling the
tat of animals, chiefly neat cattle, we
believe, and obtaining therefrom a pro
net resembling butter, which, after be
ing chinned in fie*h milk, obtains the
flavor and is brought to the consistency
of now butter. Tliis is not anew sub
si ance, lor it, lias been made for years
in Europe and fur several years in the
Eastern cities of this country. There is
no charge against it of being injurious
to health, blit the only fault found is that
it successfully compc es whh butter in

Itlow at Country Newspapers.
Some of the publishers of monthly
magazines in Boston are moving with
cousideable determination id ptoCure a
change in the postal laws, which, if
adopted will prove a severe blow to the
country newspapers. Under the pres
ent law daily nud Weekly newspapers
pay two cents a pound, except on that
part of their editions delivered withiD
the county where published, on which
the postage was free. Monthly publica
tions are charged three oeuts a pound.
The publishers, aud not the subscribers,
are required to pay the postage. The
publishers of the monthlies now ask
Congress to charge all publications, dai
ly, weekly, monthly aud quarterly, at a
uniform rate of two cents per pound,
and to charge for all papers delivered in
the county. This would give tho city
paper an advantage over country or
conuly papers, and would greatly injure
the latter class, which are almost entirely
published weekly. These newspapers
are useful to the local communities
where they are published, and are de
serving the encouragement they now re
ceive; and the law as it now stands, in
regard to the newspaper postage within
the county, should not be changed,—

behoove our farmers to so pitch their
