Cane and Grape Sugar.—Pro fessor Kcdfcie gives us the following valuable bit of domestic information: "Cano sugar is two and one half times as sweet as grape sugar, close* ly allied to it, and differs so httl from it that some persons cannot distin guish it, By cooking, the cone su gar may be changed to grape sugar, and thus loso its sweetening power. Sinne women put the sugar in with a mass of acid fruit to be cooked, and keep cooking and add ng sugar while it keeps on growing sourer, until at last they use two and one half tiaies as much sugar as they no. and to secure the desired result. The cane sugar has been changed to grape sugar; now if the sugar had been added af tor tho fruit was cooked, much less would have been required, and the result would have been far more sat isfactory, Peanut Candy.— Prepare tho peas by removing the thin reddish skin in which they are enveloped, and fill a tin tray to the depth of about an inch. Pour over them the Lot candy as above directed, stirring the meats that each one may be covered. A little less candy should be csed than will suffice to cover the mass ol meats, though each separate one should he coated, the object being to use just enough of the candy to cause the meats to adhere firmly to each other, thus forming a large cake, which, w hen nearly cold, may be cut in squares or bars with a sharp knife. Almonds, deprived of tlmir skins, or the meats of any nuts may be used in a similar manner. Ikon Rust Stains. —Squeeze ltm on juice into a cup, acid a pinch o. Halt, and rub the stain in this.

I’lants may be grown in a s<>il containing no vegetable matter whatever, but there can be no such thing as successful propping on a soil where this c 1 ment of fertility is wanting. Any system of farming, therefore, is defective which docs not embrace, in some form, the annual return of vegetable matter, to replace its constant ex haustion under continued cultiva tion. The failure to do this will ac count for the unsatisfactory results which frequently attend the use of concentrated fertilizers. What wo pieqn to say is, that in nine cases out pf ten, where genuine fertilizer fails to meet expectations, the failure is duo to a deficiency of vegetable mat ter in the soil. We clip the following useful hints: 11ms often have a habit of biting and pulling their feathers, and gradually pating them, until their bodies are bare. This practice, it is believed, is occasioned by a want of salt, as when salted food is given them thev make no attempt to continue the habit, Sait pork, chopped lino and Jed twice a week, lias been adopted iyvth success, while others put a tea spoonful ol salt witli two quarts of meal or shorts moistened, well raix / i, and feed it about, twice every w ek.

A HEADING LESSON, They sat in a dusky corner, Taming tho leaves of a hook, O’er each picture fair, Or legend there, Bending with eager look. Sbo was a modest maiden, And ho was a timid youth, And the volume they viow Together—those two Is a bit of fiction, forsooth, An there wasn’t as pretty a picture In all tho book, I’ll engage, As tire one that leaned— By the twilight screened— Well over the printed page; His tresses with hers so Wending They turned to a brighter shade, White tho cheek of tho youth Was in very truth As led as tho cheek oi the maid. Tho shadows began to deepen, The printed pago was a blur, Yet he did not closo The book nor propose Ah'hango of employment to her. Their hands together had met, In tho same war m clasp, More than friendly grasp, They lingered and lingered yet. For neoded they for a moment, In each other’s face to look, For tho secret guessod Was at once confe sea, And each hi at t was an open book. Georgia Legislature. BILLS INTRODUCED.

Young men, just commencing life’s turbulent career in whatever pursuit —whether in the free, man ly industry of the farm and work shop, in the professional, or hazard ous and wearing ruercancantile uni* dertaki.igs—let me say to you be honest. You have doubtless been told this in print and by word since your earliest recolection. But iiave you realized the full import ot its meaning—of what vital im portance it is to your whole future career ? In brief it amounts to this ; If you wish to succed, to be hap py and respected, then he honest, freely and heartily, for principle’s and honesty’s sake. It you wish to go down to ruin, shame and dishonor, then be dishonest, un truthful tricky, and yonr wishes wili be speedily realized. You may see times when the tempora ry success of unprincipled under takings may allure, but*be not de ceived lie firm as a rock for truth and right, and you will find yourself on the rising road to fort une and to fame when their rotten stincturo are toplirig to distruction. If you are intrusted by others witli their intetestsand business, prove worthy of the trust in every par ticular. Yo will have hard battles to light, but keep up your con age and stick to principles of right. Let not the holi-gilded allurements of the practices and amusements ol those who spend inoro money use lessly eacli week than their wages amount to ever lead you from a firm detenninatien to he honest and manly, and you cannot help but succeed. You may oftentimes find yourself spurned, neglected, and those less worthy promoted over you, but let this not swerve you. In time your success, your upward career, will bo all the speedier, all the more glorious. Never missrepresent to make “a sale. Never advorttse a humbug, falsehood or colorable statement, Be frank, gentlemanly and honest, and charge for your labor and pro diice all they are worth, just what you can afford to take and you will find plenty to appreciate, plenty to patronize. Young men, let me espe cially and earnestly advise yon to so conduct yourself and acts that each night when you seek your pillow you can truthfully say to yourself and God: I have been faithful, truthful and hmest; I have not wronged others to enrich myself, if you do this you will be happy and successful. A peace and joy of heart and mind will be yours, which tho world could not purchase from you. There is noth ing in all my varied experience which gives me so great comfort and abiding satisfaction as an in ward consciousness that I have never been tempted to grossly missrep' esent or unlawfully appro priate to myself a single farthing l cntrusiC.d to m.y care. .A. DEMOOB ATIC FA JW iXTST NEY7SPAPER, Young men, you will be greatly tempted ; you may have reverses and missfortunes, may bo touly misstepresented andslamlered; but be steadfast for truth and In nesty, proving to tho world that your re verses are no”, owing to your care lessness or inability; that contin gent slaudi-r is without foundation ; and success will supplant misfort une, and slander will revert with crushlWg forctS'en the heads of ita invunto; s.—Ex. PLAIN FOOD. If plain food is well and earful ly cooked, it is as palitablo as richer diet and much more wholesome. Take as simple a dish as “hasty pudd'ng”—when properly cooked and seasoned it is a dish “lit for a King,” but when half cooked and seasoned it is fit only for pigs and chickens. Cooking is j just as truly a chemical process as any re sult of a labratory. And, as iu chemistry, tho least deviation from propor proportions in a given com pound will give a result entirely different from the one sought, so it is largely in cooking, in tho couutry too tittle attention is paid diet. How few farmers have a good bed of asparagus, so desira ble iu tho early spring between “hay and grass,” when the whole system cries out for fresh vegeta bles, and yet such a bed- is easily started and will last for fifty years. Some farmers do not “feel able” to afford their families any kind of nnat but salt p >rk, summer and winter, and yet they can buy good, fresh beef from the bather’s cart for less than they would sell thoir ev erlasting pork for, and by boil ing down in the kettle, with a few light dumplings, you can have a fresh meat dinner that will be eaten almost as heartily as roast turkey. Health largely depends upon the food we eat. KIND WORDS. Kind wo , -ds do not cost much. They never blister tho tongue or lips. And we have never heard of a uy mental troublo arising fro mi tßiur use. Though they do uot cost much ♦hey accomplish a great deal: 1. 'They help one’s own good nature and wi 11. Angry words are foe! to the flame of wrath, and make it blaze more fiercely. 2. Kind words make other people good-natured. Cold words frezi people and hot words irritate them, and bitter words make them wrath ful. There is such a rush of all other kinds of words in our days that it seems des* cable to give kind words a chance amoDg them. There are vpin words and silly words aud empty words, and prohime words, and boistrous words aud warlike words. Kind words produce their own im age on men’s souls, and they qui et and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose and unkind feelings We have not yet begun to use kind w-r Is in such an abundance as tney ought to be used. Splitting tho Difference. A yong man with tho blush of country life on Ids cheeks yester day sold out his produce on tho market and entered a shoe store and said that he wanted a pair of shoes for his wife. “What number?” asked the clerk. The > oung husband stretched his head, looked very much em barrassed, and finally said : “Well, I have been married eight months, but this shoe busi ness stumps me. I don’t hardly believe sho wears ’levens, and I don’t think she kin git into fives. T guess if we split tho difference wel’l hit her pretty close.” He was given a pair of eights and after squinting along the soles, he observed : “l guess them’ll do. She’s awlul proud, and I know she’ll squeeze into ’em for all she’s worth.” —Detroit Free Press. Ouray, the lato Ute ch ef, loft property valued at $200,000.

Society.. HEALTH HINTS. Thu following treatment is recom mended as n cure for croup: As soon as the first symptoms arc discovered apply cold water suddenly and freely to the neck and chest, and closely cover wfth cotton baiting (nothing else w 1 do as well) and the breath will instantly be relieved. Give the patient’plenty of water to drink, and cover it warm in bed, and. it will sleep sweetly. There is no danger of taking cold by tho operation. The Phrenological Journal says: People should not sleep with their mouths open. Breathing should be done only through the nose unlc.-s there is some physical obstruction which renders it difficult or impossi ble for one to breath though the nose passages, which is the natural way. Persons who snore generally breathe through the mouth. Animals breathe through the nostrils; and it observa ble that cases of pulmonary disease or throat-ail among those who keep their mouth shut waking or sleeping is seldom. L unon syrup for a cough : a pint and a half of water add two large poppy-heads and two large lemons. Boil them until they arc soft, press the lemons into the water, strain the liquor, and add h >lf a dram of saf fron and a half pound of brown sng ar-candy, pounded, /foil all togeth er until the sugar candy is dissolved; stir the whole until you perceive it will jelly; strain it a second time, and take the seed from the popies. An exchange gives the following c eoeipc for making disinfectant liquid: In a common black wine bottle of cold water dissolve two ounces of ac etate of bad (sugar of lead), and then add two fluid ounces of nitric acid (acqniforlis). Shako the mixt ure well, and it is ’•oady to use. A very small quantity of it wall cleanse any utensil, and a room can bo thor oughly disinfected by it, if clean cloths arc wetted in the liquid dilu ted with eight parts water, and then suspended in Various parts of tho room. In using this disinfect lut plenty of fresh air should be allowed to Jenter tho room, as it is far cheaper and more effective than anything else for the purpose. A SMART DARKEY. Iu tho year 1851, when the whole world was thinking and talking of the World’s Fair in Hyde Park, tho Col onel of the Second West fndia regi ment was one day startled on parade by tho approach of his - bugler to make the modest request of a fur lough of sufficient length to enable him to go over to London to see the exhibition. CuffVy was sterncly or dered back to the ranks, with the al ternative of the guarJ-rootn, anil he retired, muttering, however, that, furlough or no furlough, his journey to London was a fixed fact. Next morning he was missing at roll-call, the fact being that ho had engaged h tnsclf as a stroker on one ..f the mail steamers, and was at that moment sailing quit *ly out of the harbor. He came to London, saw tho exhibition, had his spree out, and, when ho was tired or had spent all his monev, lie presented himself at tho Horse Guards and gave himself up as a desetter. It was some time before tie could gain belief for his singular tale, and had to play a sdec tion of tlu Colonel’s numerous bugle oalls before he could prevail on tlie authorities to order him into custody. At last he was duly taken prisoner and shipped for the West Indies, along with a detachment going out. When the ship had been some days out at sea, the officer in command, a young Lieutenant, found great diffi culty in collecting tho men at meal time, having no bngler with his de tachment. “On this lunt ’ Cuffey spake,po’iteiy offering to relieve the officer of a world of troublo by playing daily the necessary c ifis. His ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION, $2 00 oll’.ii- was accepted, and the service duly performed during lhe remainder ol the voyage. On the nriivnl of the ship, Cutloy was delivered to his Colonel, who immediately ordered h.m to be taken into custody, pre paratory to regimental court-mar tial. Just, however, as the guard was taking him oil', he called a parley, and politely inlormcd the Colonc* that be could not bo tried as a de sciter, inasmuch as, having done dir 4 ty since "the commission of the act, he was now as free as before he left the regiment. There was no gaiti s-iying this woll-knoWn point of mil itary law, and the Colonel was com pclh and to content himself with sim ply ordering Cuffcy back to his duty, amid the broadest possible grins on tile countenances of his ebony com rades.

Washington Gazette: We arc for maintaining the policy of not caring' a copper for what the North says or thinks of the South. If the South' has ever made anything ont of the North we don’t know it. They have been hurling their anathemas at us ever since the oldest man among us was in his swaddling clothes, and nobody can blame Wade Hampton nor any Southern for call ing them a liar aud giving them his address. The Sou-b seems to flake all their abuse as a joke, and goes on' sending ber money to the coffers of the very tnen who spend it m a opposing the interest of the South. Act the Southern people keep their money, build up and patronizj Southern industries,- and grow rich and independent n they would do in a short while if they would quit this extravagant policy of sending to t he North for every tooth pick that they use, We arccoranur daily independent of the world, and' why not asseit our independence?
