A nation turns its tearful eye towards our city and counts fleeting time by the lieart throbs, while it roads the clickings of lightning to learn Hie , successive stages of the last solemn tribute which the living can ever : pay to the greatness and virtues ; and memory of the dead, and bey ond us and above us, if we could only with eyes of flesh penetrate ! the veil, there is a still vaster aasem j blage of “Angels and archangels arid all company of heaven,” who J desire to look into the mysteries of human redemption,and rejo’ce over ’ the triumph of a redeemed soul. At such a time as this, xvhen the gates, perchance, are still ajar, and the place we stand upon is holy ground, it still behooves any one of us to attempt to voice forth a com mon plaint to express the vast aggre ' gate of respect and love and honor and to illustrate and enforce lessons l of this hour and this scene. It is ; better, far better, that we let OUR ILLUTRIOUS FRIEND on whose account we are gathered here, impart such instuction as his life and his death supply, while we, with bated breath and. in rapt attention stand aboiß his bier, and to this task we address ourselves, fore-going all personal allusion,for there are such allusions, many and tender and consoling, to the con- I ci cte incidents in his social and re ligious life, in his private, as dis tinguished from his public life. Ilis youth had a prolific lesson for the youths of our land. In an adjom -1 ing county some fifty years ago his tutilage began. The days so often spent Ly thoughtloss boys in pointless diversions from hard study lie, with energy and applica tion, devoted to the acquisition of useful and permanent knowledge, ! laying with painstaking earnestness’ and perseverance and zeal the found ations of that sturdy, indomitable pcharacter which in later ht-e, carried him to the'proud p nnacle of ex . altcd success, aud wi'h such teach ing the lads of our day shohld not shrink from the daily task of cotn i mon scholars, nor sterner studies of the university. And thus he. pro claims from his coffin: “Whatso ever thy baud findethlo do, do it withall thy might; and work while it is called to day, for soon ’he night cometh wherin no man can work.” HIS EARLY MANHOOD were years of trial and comparative privation, the common lot of those who apart from the thronged haunts of the denser populations, stem the tide of pioneer resistance to the hos tile forces of nature and verify the adage that the course of empire takes its way. Io such spirits resislcnce is discipline, arow t h, ? de vol opmen t.

But remember that for all , these things God will bring thee to ; judgment.” then in maturer years we have this sturdy, hearty man with and a warm heart in a sound body essaying an active, earnest, prominent part in the as- > fairs of his state and country as an * able and successful advocate, as a painstaking and conscientoius leg islator, both helping to build a new ’ constitution of his State and adjust it to the complicated relations of the whole people and also enacting a distinguished part in national legislation, and in both houses of congress, as an able manager of the public landed interests of rim country. As the second officer in the administration of this great na tion, he was every where and always the same able, conservative, consis- I tent and conscientious character, which he early illustrated when he first startd out upon life’s ARENA OF TRIAL AND CONFLICT and of triumph, and sowed the pre , cious seed of honor, virtue and tern perance, and so he has taught this urgent lesson,“Be not deceived,God is not mocked, for whatsoever man soweth that shall he also reap, fur he that soweth to the flesh’ shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life evelasting.” He carefully chose his seed and he has abundantly reaped his har vest. And again he would preach to us. Ou the other hand he would impress us with the short ness and uncertainty of life He was in his usual health until near the moment when the silver cord was broken;, Ho came faithfully and bravely and confidentially to the very dividing line which sepa rates between the things which are seen and temporal and the things which aie unseen and eternal, and yet he knew not that he was com ing and in a moment without war ning he was as one“who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams,” and this notable feature of his departure warns ns all in emphatic terms that in the midst of life WE ARE IN DEATH, and admonishes us that we know not the day nor hour when the summons shall come to us. These things his good and great life teaches us, and uh! that we might be amenable to the teaching, and oh! that ail might learn from his uniformly graceful bearing, his polite manners, his courteous de ference toothers’ views;his thought ful consideration for others' feel ings, even while differing with them in opinion or conduct. Learn to cultivate the amenities and cour tesies of life under the guiding in- ■ spiration of politeness and urbanity, < I run no hazard in asserting that ) such considerate deference to i others’ feelings and wishes, and 1 such regard for their rights and privileges is the touchstone of all true manliness, a sm-e criterion of genuine Christianity, and to this < crucial test no one ever re- 1 spunded more thoroughly than our ' dear friend who lies here so calm ’ and peaceful—so forcibly deipon- J strating the great mystery that en- < shrouds the problem of human life, i and yet his c mrtesy did not out- 1 strip his benevolence. No one who ] appealed to him f<w qnd H counsel au<J assistance'ever turned ’ empty away, though his right and ' his left hand were not in each ! others confidence. Still there is re cord somewhere of. HIS UNBOUNDED LIBERALITY in numberless ' cases of destitution and guferiug, ’‘He experienced in bis daily life the joj of faith and the patience of hope and the com fort of love. These were with him ever: Faith, hope and charity. These three; but the. greatest of these was charity;” and the admir i ably organized charities of our city have long felt the guiding impulses ‘ of his skillful hand, and have been > cheered by the sympathetic throb ■ bing of his generous heart.

Not that they require so much time and labor, but, what I have to do or them comes at such times as I can ill afford it. When I sow in January, as is usually done, they interfere with the preparations to be nuide for corn and cotton.— This is another reasonwhy the first breaking of corn and cotton lands should be done in December.— Then harvest comes in the middle of the.busy season. A few days lost from the cotton patch at. this time, is hard to recover. I have no harvester, or mny be I could stand it better. Fifty bushels of cotton seed, or one thousand pounds of compost per acre, sown broadcast, aud plow ed in with seed, certainly yields as good a profit as any where it could be used. The yield is from thirty to sixty bushels per acre. In planting sugar cane, former ly I trod the ground with cattle; hut there is too much waste in this; so, now I cover the ground • witii compost, open and drop cane in furrow and bed on it. When I can spare cotton seed, 1 fill furrow about half full; sometimes give a liberal sprinkle of guano at time of planting; sometimes when I lay by I put it by the side of canes. In latitudes where sugarcane cannot be successfully raised, this might do well f-or sorghum. Yield from twenty to thirty barrels, of thirty two, gallons per acre. 1 have al ways been doing nearly this with sugar cane, from the fact that I always manure high. The reason is, it being but a small patch, there < was manure put on. This U 4 very profitable crop to raise; much more sg., than cotton in this section of the South; provided always, if there is ready sale for sugar aud syrup. Patting it at twenty barrels per acre, we have six hundred and for ty gallons.. Thi& at twenty-five cents per gallon will bring one hundred and sixty dollars. Pindars is an important crop with me. I do not give them any extra care; however. Ihey seem to be satisfied with the poorest land, and the least amount of work. In fact, “g >od pasture of grass,” I do not believe this, and always try to keep them clean and no more. Principally from these I raise my meat. Sweet potatoes, like the above, t is an essential crop, because a food i crop. It supplements the pindars a- a meat producer very well; and they are so nice and good for the ‘ table. I very rarely get out of'potatoes; have old potatoes until the new > ones come in. I planted on cow pen laud until a few years ago.— 1 Now I raise them on stubble land almost entirely. Os all my farm products, sweet potatoes take the ; lead in not responding to high fer tilization. Os course I can increase the quantity by manuring highly, but always at the expense of the quality. Naturally, rich fresh land is the best of all conditions for sweet po tatoes. Verx poor fc andy land, in which there is little or no vegehi- , ; blc mould, will not do so wefi, i however rich it is made. I admit that a specially prepared manure will meet the demands of the po tato. Cow-lot manure does very well if the land is tolerably good and fresh, but 1 can spare this ma nure foi those little crops, only as 1 am compelled, and then combined with other ingredients.- Tnis ends the list of my farm produces proper. Os course I have a vegetable garden and some fruits, but as I wish to give my views and experiences on two or three other topics, intimately con nected with intensive farming, I pass them by with, a mere mention. The following subjects are alluded to. viz: The improvement of seeds, and the making and saving of ma nures, etc. As in what has gone be fore, lam going to give my plan, and first 1 invite attention to tho mprovement of corn. Ten years ago I began the improve ment of my seed corn, and have worked at it assiduously ever since. I bad noticed for a long time, ev er since 1 was a boy, that occa sionally there would be a stalk with two ears ayd a nubbin; and once in a while a stalk that would shoot from the ground up as far as there was an eye. This led me to think that corn may have degen erated as well as man. Any way, 1 concluded the beneficent Creator did not put these eyes there for no purpose. Reasoning thus, I arrived at the conclusion that, under suffi cient length of time ard right con ditions every way, corn might be made to bear an oar for each eye on the stalk. 1 have gone far enough to prove my convictions to be right. I began by selecting corn of one uniform color, the best shaped ears and grains, and from the most prolific stalks. I found it difficult to find Bush seed as I desired for my entire crop. There was a decided improvement the first year, nearly half the stalks 1 bearing two good oars. In four years’ time I had the satisfaction g! seeing nine tenths of my corn with from two to fohr cars on the stalks. I have for four or five years had several stalks with five respectable ears, tor the same- length of time it is an unusu al thing to find a stalk with only one ear on it. ’ What an argument against “sur vival of the fittest,” for this is the logic of facts. 1 have not made any advancement for the last two years, owing mainly to the seasons being very n.nprapitous. Farmers, d,id you ever think that if it re quired one quart of corn to feed one pig in a pen, that if you put two pigs in, yon must add another quart of corn? And three pigs must have three parts, and so on, a quart for every pig; of course you have, and this is sensible too. In like manner, if your land will bring ten, or any other nuuh her of bushels of corn* aim you wish to' de üble it, why. as a mat ter of course, you must double the plant food, the material that makes corn. If jou want to treble, or quadruple il, yon must keep the same idea in w iew, and follow the same rule. No v what is applica ble to your corn in the aggregate, is applicable to it in a particular sense; or as relates to one stalk. If it bears but one ear, and you want two, you must improve both seed/ and land; yes, and in cultivation and preparation of land. Every observing fanner knows full well that if he is not careful in breed ing his stock will soon run down to dwarfs or rants, and he knows equally well that he can breed up with proper care; why not breed up corn as well? Taking as data the history of our choicest fruits brought up from a wild course, and bitter , state, to their present perfection, we may safely conclude that corn, and in fact all farm products, are susceptible of vast improvement. Thus L have left the animal and entered the realm of the vegeta kingdom to prove my declarations, should any doubt them. In the next place the improve* ment in cotton is as great as in corn, though I have not experi mented with it to the same extent as I have with corn. Let it suffice to mention Dickson’s, Lata more's and Ozier’s improved varieties. ART. Sarah Bernhardt is not the only Frenchwoman who has achieved skill in the scolptor's art. The published list of gifts just made to a charity under the pat ronage of a number of ladies in Paris includes several works of art by the patronesses themselves, among them being a statutte by the Duchess of Uzes, which we arc told, “no master of the day would disown,” and a bust of Chopin, modeled by the Countess de Beau mont-Castries. Sarah contributes a group. Among the paintings contributed by lady amateurs men tioned in the same list are a “Red Riding Hood,” by the Princess Mathilde; a landscape—a view in St. Helena—by the Bnroness Na thaniel de Rothschild; a “View of an Interior,” by the Princess Scyl la, and a number of other pieces by ladies of rank. Cause Enough. A travelei, upon entering an Arkansaw county town was struck by the apparent good humor of the people. Men shook hands with one another and laughed, and chil dren, in u nrestrained glee, played in the street. “My 'friend,” said the trav eler, addressing a man who, laughing softly, stood leaning against a post, “the people of this town seem to be enjoying shcmselves.” “Yes,” the man replied as he wiped the tears of gladness from his eyes. * “Business must be good here.” “No, it’s mighty dull.” “Well, “the town must have brilliant prospects. “No prospesets that I know of.” “Why do you all rejoice?” “Oh, weve got a cause,” “What is the cause?” “The editor of oar paper has gone to Little Rock.” “What difference docs that make?” Wy, you see he won’t be back for mon’n a week an’ we’ll miss a issue of his paper. Oh, come on here, won’t you, and help me laugh. Er haw, haw: ter he, be.”—Ar kansaw Traveler. , <e»» » _ Dr. John Hall of New York was the §2 500 pastor of a Dublin church 17 years ago.

He is, by the way, preaching the gosplo of Jesus Christ, who had not where to lay his head. A GOOD EXCUSE. “I want to ask your advice about something, said Kosciusko Mur phy to Hostetter McGinnis. “I’ll give you the best I’ve got.” “Last evening at the ball 1 slip ped and fell while 1 was dancing with Alias Esmerelda Longcoffin.” “Did she get angry?” 1 on bet slio uid. 1 didn’t know how to excuse myself. 1 want to aet myself right with her. 1 don’t want her to think hard of me.” / “O,say you were drunk.” • ■ ITEMS OF NEWS r * 1 Joseph Brantley, of Fairborn,, Ga., died from an overdose of mor i phinc, taken with snicidal intend > I last Friday.
