MAUI ETTA.
It is tru«* La Na|>oule is only quite
a small place- on tin* Bay of Cannes;
but it is known, nevertheless, in all
Provence. It lies amid evergreen
shades, high |«tlms, and dark orange
groves. This, it is true, does not
make it famous. Yet here, it is said,
grow the richest clusters of grapes, the
sweetest roses, and fairest maidens.
I know not; I am, however, most
ready to believe it. It is a pity that
La Napoule is so small, and can not
possibly produce enough rich clusters,
sweet rofS*s and beautiful maidens, or
we, too, would indeed have some of
them with us.
If, since the founding of Nu
poule, all its women have liven lx*au
tiful, without doubt the little Mari
etta must have been a wonder among
wonders, because even the ehroniele
makes mention of her. They called
her, it is true, only the little Marietta;
yet she was not smaller than a child
of seventeen years or more is accus
tomed to Im*, whose forehead reaches
up to the lips of a full grown man.
The chronicle of La Napoule had
its good reasons for speaking of Ma
rietta. I should have done the same
in the place of the chronicle. For
Marietta, who until now had dwelt
with her mother Manon, at Avignon,,
when she came again to her birth
place, turned it almost topsy-turvy ;
in fact, not the houses, but the people
and their heads; nor exactly the
heads of all the people, hut chiefly
of those whose heart and head are
always in great danger in the neigh
borhood of two soul-full eyes. I know
this. In such a case there is no joking.
Mother Manon would, no doubt,
have (lone better had she remained in
Avignon; hut she inherited some
property in La Napoule; she received
there a small estate with a vineyard,
and a pretty house in the shade of a
cliff, between olive trees and acacias.
No poor widow refuses such a thing.
Now she was, in her own opinion, as
rich and happy as the Countess of
Provence or the like.
It went so much worse with
the good La N&poulese. Khe had not
foreseen such mischief, and had not
read in Homer that a pretty woman
could bring into anger and discord all
Greece and Asia Minor.
HOW THE MISCHIEF HAPPPEXED.
Scarcely had Marietta been a fort
night in the house between the olive
trees and African acacias than
every young man of La Napoule
knew that Marietta dwelt there, and
that in all Provence lived no more
charming maiden than in this very
house.
When she walked through the
town, gliding lightly as a disguised
angel, in floating robes, pale green
bodice, on her breast an orange blos
som beside rose-buds, and wearing
flowers and ribbons around the grey
hat which shaded her face, then the
sour old men became eloquent, and
the young men dumb. And every
where in succession, on the right and
on the left, there opened a window, a
door, —“Good-morning,” they said,
or “Good evening, Marietta,” and
smiling sho nodded right and left.
If Marietta stepped into the church,
all hearts (i. e. of the young men)
left Heaven, all eyes the sacred
hymns, and the praying lingers went
astray in the beads of the rosary.
That must certainly have often given
offence, particularly to the pious.
At this time, without doubt the
young maidens of La Napoule became
peculiarly pious, for they were vexed
in the highest degree. They were
hardly to be blamed for it. For,
since Marietta’s arrival, trioro than
one affianced lover had become cool,
and more than one admirer recreant
to his lady-love. Then there was
much quarreling and reproach every
where, and many tears, good admo
nitions, and refusals. They spoke no
more of weddings, but of partings.
They even returned pledges of fidel
ity, rings and ribbons. The old took
part in the quarrels of their children.
Hatred and strife ran from house to
house. The state of things was de
plorable.
“ Marietta is the cause of all this!”
said the pious maidens; then their
mothers said it; then the fathers said j
it, and last of all, even the young!
men.
But Marietta, veiled in her modesty
and innocence as the red of the open
ing rose-bud in the dark green of the
ealix, suspected nothing of the great
calamity, and remained good to all.
That touched first the young men, and
they spoke: “ Why grieve the sweet,
harmless child? She is not to
blame.” Then the fathers said it;
then the mothers said it, and, last of
all, eve \ the pious maidens said it.
For, whoever spoke with Marietta,
could not help conceiving an affec
tion for her, and ere half a year
elapsed every one had spoken with
her, and she was a universal favorite.
But she did not believe she was so
beloved, and had not believed
before that they could hate her. Lit
tle suspects the lowly violet, oft trod
den In the grass, how dear it is !
Now, every man and woman wish
ed to atone for the injustice towards
Marietta. Compassion lent a delica
cy to good will. Everywhere Mari
etta found herself greeted as kindly
as before; as kindly smiled upon ; as
kindly invited to the rural sports and
dances.
OF THE WICKED COLIN.
Yet not all men have the gift of
sweet pity, but some are of a harden
ed heart like Pharoah. This comes
without doubt from the natural de
pravity of man since the Fall, or be
cause at the baptismal rite, the evil
one had not been dispatched in prop
er form.
A notable example of such hardness
of heart was furnished by the
young Colin, the richest farmer and
landed proprietor in La Napoule,
who could scarcely in one day trav
erse his vineyards, olive gardens, and
lemon and orange groves. Even this
proves the natural perversity of his
disposition that he was nearly seven
and twenty years old without having
cared to ask for what a maiden was
created.
It is true everybody, especially the
I women of a certain age in which they
willingly forgive sins, considered '
Colin the host young man under the
sun. His figure, his frank ingenuous j
t manners, his look, his smile, had the
good fortune to please the said jk*o
ple, who, perhaps, if need be, would j
have given him pardon for one of the !
sins which cry to heaven. It is not j
safe to trust to the judgment of such
judges.
While old and young at Napoule’
had made reconciliation with the in
nocent Marietta, and compassionately
sought her company, Colin was tin*
only one who remained without pity ,
for the dear child. When the con
versation turned on Marietta, he was
dumb as a fish. If he met her On the
street, he became red and white with ;
passion, and east truly withering
looks upon her.
If in the evening the young people i
assembled on the seashore beside the
old ruined castle for sportive games, 1
or for the rural dance, or to begin an
alternative song, then Colin failed '■
not to f>e present. But as soon as
Marietta came, the malicious Colin ,
became quiet, and would have sung
no more for all the gold in the world.
It was a pity, for his voice was sweet.
Every one liked to hear him, and he
was inexhaustible in songs.
All the maidens liked the wicked i
Colin, and he was friendly with all.
He had, as before said, a roguish ;
look, which the young ladies fear and i
love; and if he laughed, he was !
worth being painted. But naturally
the oft injured Marietta regarded him
not at all. She was perfectly right.!
Whether he smiled or not, that was j
the same to her. She did not like)
even to hear his roguish look spoken |
of; and there again she was right.
If he narrated a story, and he always
knew many, and then all listened,
she nodded to the girls and pelted
now Peter and now Paul with sea
weed sho had gathered, and laughed
and cl tatted and did not listen to j
Colin. Then that grieved his proud j
heart: he broke off frequently in the I
midst of the story and went gloomily !
away.
Revenge is sweet. The daughter I
of Mrs. Manon might indeed have
triumphed. But yet Marietta was
entirely too good a child and her
heart too tender. If he grew silent,
she was sorry for it. If he became j
sad, she ceased to laugh. If he went '
away, she did not like to remain j
long; and when she was at home she i
wept bitterer tears of repentance than
Magdalene, and yet she had not !
sinned half so much.
THE PITCHER.
The pastor of La Napoule, namely
Father Jerome, a gray-haired old
man of seventy, had all the virtues
of a saint and the one fault, that he
was, on account of great old age, very
hard of hearing. But on that ac
count, he preached the more edify
ingly to the children whom he had
baptized and whose father-confessor
he was, and every one listened to him ■
willingly. It is true he preached j
constantly only upon two texts, as if
his whole religion dwelt in them :
either “ Little children, love one an
other;” or, “Little children, the
ways of Heaven are wonderful;” yet,
truly, therein lay so much faith, love,
and hope, that a person, if needs be,
might get his salvation by it. The
little children loved each other very
dutifully, and hoped upon the dis
pensations of Heaven. Only Colin,
with his heart of flint, would pay
no attention. Even if he seemed to
be friendly, he had wicked designs.
The Napoulese Jove to attend
the Fair of the city of Vence. There
is great gayety, and although little
money, yet many wares. Now, Ma
rietta, with her Mother Manon, was
at the Fair, and Colin was there also.
He bought many delicacies for his
young lady friends, but for Marietta
not a sou’s worth. And yet he was
everywhere near her. But neither
did ho speak to her nor she to him.
One easily perceived that lie brooded
over some wickedness.
There stood Mother Manon quietly
before a booth, and said: “O, Mari
etta, see the beautiful pitcher! a
queen need not be ashamed to touch
it with her lips. See now, the edge
is of shining gold, and the flowers
thereon bloom as beautifully as those
of the garden, and yet they are only
painted. And in the midst, Para
dise ! I)o see, Marietta, how invit- j
ing the apples are on the tree; one
almost longs to have one. And Ad
am cannot resist as the beautiful Eve
presents him one to taste. And see
how the charming little lamb skips
sporting around the old tiger, and
the snow-white dove with the golden
green neck stands before the hawk as
if she wished to kiss her.”
Marietta could not weary of look
ing. “If I had such a pitcher, moth
er,” she said, “ it is much too beauti
ful to drink out of; I should place
my flowers in it, and constantly look
into Paradise. We are at the Fair
of Vence, but when I see the picture,
it seems to me as if we were in Para
dise.”
So spoke Marietta, and called hith
er all her lady friends to admire the
picture; and immediately there stood
beside the ladies the men also, and
finally almost half the inhabitants of
La Napoule, before the wonderful
pitcher. Indeed it was wonderful, of
the very costliest transparent porce
lain, with gilt handles and bright
colors. Timidly they asked the mer
chant: “Sir, what is the price?”
And he answered: “It is worth a
hundred livres at the lowest price.”
Then they were silent and went
away.
When no more from La Napoule
stood before the booth, Colin eame
stealing on, threw down a hundred
livres on the table to the merchant,
ordered the pitcher to be placed in a
box tilled with cotton, and bore it
away. No one knew his wicked plan.
Near Napoule, on his way home,
almost at dark, he met old James,
the Judge’s servant, who came from
the fields. James was quite a good
man, but very stupid.
“ I will give you a fee 1 , James,”
said Colin, “if you will cariy this box
to Manon’s house and leave it there.
If any one should notice you and ask
from whom came the box, speak thus;
‘ A stranger gave it to me.’ But nev
er betray my name, or I shall never
forgive you.’’ ’
James promised, took the fee and
the box, and went toward the little
house amid the olive trees and Afri
can acacias.

CATtTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8,1872.
THE GERMAN.
It* Lwsrajg# and Literature—Ah Address
b) Ko. Mr. Bokom.
The Rev. Hermann Bokurn, by the
invitation of the Rev. Dr. Wills,
addressed students of Oglethorpe
University recently, on the subject of
the German language and literature.
The important events which occurred
in Germany during the last few years
invest this subject, as almnst every
other connected with Germany, with
morse than usual interest. We give
below the remarks of Mr. Bokum,
sutwtantiallv, though not altogether
literally:
THE GERMAN LANGUAGE AND
LITERATURE
| enter into the sphere of history under
very peculiar circumstances. I need
not* tell you what an impulse the
spirit of a people receives when it has
successfully struck for independence.
I Os this your own history furnishesa
most beautiful illustration. A similar
impulse was given to the German
tribes by the victory of Arminiusover
I Varus iii the Teutoburg forest, since
it virtually secured the independence
l of the Germans. This victory, and
others which succeeded it, inspire!
the Germans with the first German
! songs known in history. Almost
coincident with this victory an event
i of world-wide importance took place.
Christ was born in Bethlehem. When
the Christian religion reached the
j Teutonic tribes, it found a large
portion of them ready to embrace it
in the spirit of entire self-consecration,
and to lay the foundation for the
- testimony which it has since borne
to the truth of God. At the very gate
| of the history and literature of Ger
many stands the translation of the
Holy Scriptures by Ulfilas, a bishop
of Visigoths. The union between
Christianity and the spirit of the
German people was the principal
cause to which the first classical
period of its literature is indebted for
its rise. To it belong the Nibelungen
Sagas, and the poetry of the Min
nesingers. It is a period which
bears the character of piety, gentle
ness, and valor, the most distin
guished representative of which is the
Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, of
the house of Hohenstauffen, On the
Roncalic field of Italy he erected his
standard, and on it was inscribed,
“Ho, every one that stands in need
of it, let* him come and receive
justice.” On his crusade in the Holy
land, he received the news of the
death of his son. While the tears are
rolling thick and fast into his w hite
beard, he exclaims: “My son is dead,
but Christ still lives; let us move on,
my men !” So deep was the impres
sion which this Emperor made on the
German mind, that for centuries the
tradition lias been handed down,that
lie still lives, and will run in due
time to re-establish the unity and
the power which the empire of Ger
many enjoyed in his day. The Nibe
lungen Sagas is the gathering up of
several poetic narratives belonging to
different periods, and to different
regions of Germany. Though em
bodied in antiquated language, it has
the interest which a well-told tale of
heroic deeds and human joys and
sorrows must ever have to the im
agination and to the heart. In the
16th and 17th centuries this poem .was
forgotten, as was also the fact that
there had once existed a united and
powerful Germany. The great events
of the last few years have called
these Sagas from the grave, and in
them Germany now possesses a na
tional epic worthy to be placed by the
side of the Iliad.
With the times which succeeded
this period you are familiar. The
Church became absorbed in the world,
until the conscience of the German
people revolted at the fearful decline,
and sent forth its mighty protest.
According to a prophetic dream of
the elector of Saxony, a pen went
forth, moving on, on, till it reached
the tiara of the Pope, and made it
tremble. It was not a bishop at this
time, but an humble monk, who was
the leading spirit of this movement,
and who by his translation of the
HOLY SCRIPTURES
made the language of that translation
the medium of intercourse between
all parts of Germany. You are also!
aware that this religious movement!
was the cause of the superiority in j
life, in theology, and in literature of j
the Protestant over the Roman Ca-!
tholic parts of Germany, and that |
two hundred years after the Reforma- j
tion the German conscience awoke I
once more and protested against the
subjection of its literature to that of
Greece and of Rome, and against the
literary and social abuses which the
age of Louis XIV had introduced
into Germany. The way was thus
prepared for anew classical period of
German literature. Great indeed
were the difficulties which had to be
overcome before this period could be
ushered in. In the language of
Schiller:
“ By no kind Augustus raared,
To noMedtci endeared,
German song arose.”
Frederick, in many respects so
great, had no heart or taste for Ger
man productions. The Nibelungen
Saga he pronounced not worth a
charge of powder, and a
GREAT DRAMA OP GOETHE
he declared to be a detestable imita
tion of some of the worst English
pieces. But if these discouragements
tested severely the patience and
endurance of the German people, the
etforts by which they were overcome
developed in them moral and intel
lectual powers of the possession oft
which they had hardly been con
scious. You are familiar with the
character and the names of many of
the literary men and poets who
arose in the last century, and who
have endeared themselves to the fire
sides of many outside of Germany.
The humiliation suffered in conse- j
quenee of the war of the first Napoleon i
and the great war for national j
independence which succeeded it, j
gave anew impulse to German I
literature. What the events of the j
last few years are likely to do for the j
cause of German literature, may be j
judged from the re-awakening of the j
popular songs, many of which extol
the union of the German nation, and
sing of the joys and sorrows in which
their authors have had a share. As
in times of old they meet with an
enthusiastic echo in every part of
Germany.
In connection with what lias been
said, I beg to present very briefly
three trains of thought:
1. German literature, unlike all
other literature, has had two classical
periods. The life of the Greeks as
reflected in their literature, was that
of a joyous youth, blooming with
wonderful splendor. But when its
had passed its productive power seems
to have been altogether exhausted.
Very different we have seen is the
case of Germany. Twice has it been
her privilege to reflect in poetic
works of the highest order her inner
and her outward life.
2. As on the relation in which a
nation stands toward God depends its
permanent success in literature, as
well as in every other effort, it is
worthy of note that the present union
of Germany is brought about under
the influence of men who fear God,
and who may, therefore, prove fit
instruments by which Germany will
be placed more and more securely on
; the foundation of the Christian faith.
That that faith will bear off the
; victory in the end, there can be no
j doubt; that Germany, as a nation,
will continue to be eulisted under its
banner is not so certain, in view of
the unbelief and the lifeless orthodoxy
which greatly prevail there. But
assuredly, for a long time to come,
will Germany prove the great store
house from which the arms will be
drawn by which to overcome unbelief.
3. Whether your attention be
j directed to the richness of German
1 literature; whether you turn to its
! wealth in the different departments
lof philosophy, theology, law, and
! medicine; whether you reflect on the
vast strides it is making in the
various departments of science, or
whether you regard the popularity
• which the German language enjoys
on account of the many facilities it
; offer.- f.,r liie carrying oil of business,
! in each and in all these cases motives
arc presented to you which may well
induce you to devote yourselves to the
study of the language aud the
literature of Germany.
LOYEI.Y WORKERS.
Many Christians have to endure
the solitude of imnoticeable tabor.
These are serving God In a way which
is exceedingly useful, hut not at ail
noticeable. How very sweet to many
workers are those little corners of the
newswapers and magazines which
dt-serilie their labors aud successes;
yet some who are doing what God
will think a great deal more of at the
last, never saw their names in print.
Yonder beloved brother is plodding
away in a little country village;
nobody knows anything about him
but he is bringing souls to God. Un
known to fame, the angels are ac
; quainted with him, and a few precious
I ones whom he has brought to Jesus
know him well.
Perhaps yonder sister lias a little
class in the Sabbath-school; there is
nothing striking in her or her class;
now and then a little child ascends
to heaven to report her success, aud
occasionally another comes into the
church; but no one thinks of her as a
very remarkable worker; she is a
flower that blooms almost unseen,
but she is none the less fragrant.
There is a Bible woman, she is
; mentioned in the report as making
so many visits a week, but nobody
discovers all that she is doing for the
j poor and needy, and how many are
i saved in the Lord through her in
; strumentality. Hundreds of God’s
| dear servants are serving Him with
out the encouragement of man’s
, approving eye, yet they are not alone
I the Father is with them.
Never mind where you work; care
. more about how you work. Never
mind who sees, if God approves, if
He smiles, be content. We cannot be
always sure when we are most useful.
A certain minister with very great
difficulty reached a place where he
had promised to preach. There was
! a deep snow upon the ground, there
fore only one hearer came. However
' lie preached as zealously as if there
: had been a thousand. Years after,
when he was travelling in that same
part of the country, he met a man
who had been the foundation of a
church in the village, and from it
scores of others had been established.
The man came to see him, and said,
“I have good reason to remember
you, sir, for I was once your only
hearer; and what has been* done here
has been brought about-instrumental
ly through my conversion under that
sermon.” We cannot estimate our
success. One child in the Sabbath
school converted may turn out to be
worth five hundred, because he may
be t he means of bringing ten thousand
to Christ. It is not the acreage you
sow; it is the seed you sow; it is the
multiplication which God gives to
the seed which will make up the
harvest. You have less to do with
being successful than being faithful.
Your main comfort is, that in your
labor you are not alone, for God,* the
Eternal One 2 who guides the marches
of the stars, is with you.— Spurgeon.
THE WORLD TO STOP IX 1873.
The Second Adventists are at it
again. At a convention held in Roch
ester they have definitely settled the
time for the total destruction of the
world. It is to take place in 1873.
Dr. Barbour, who has prepared sev
eral charts from which he has lectur
ed extensively of late, from Boston to
Rochester, on the coming of Christ in
1873, made a speech on the signs of
the times, and cited articles in the
London Quarterly, the Edenburgh
Review, Blackwood’s, and several
American magazines, quarterlies and
newspapers, to show the enormous
proportions of the Commune, its rap
id growth in the past year and its
present threatening aspect. There
were, he said, 500,000 members in this
country and millions In Europe.
Wendell Phillips was a member, and
said in his recent lecture in Music
Hall, Boston, that “ Europe was rest
ing on a volcano that threatened the
destruction of all her thrones. And
if the church would not discern the
signs of the times, the world did, and
men’s hearts were failing them for
fear and for looking after the things
that are coming on the earth.”
SUDDENLY DELIYEUED.
A man who was a confirmed and
hopeless drunkard, being about to go
out to the Mailing Banks with a
fisherman, proposed before they
started, “to take a drink.”
“No,” said the fisherman, “I don’t
drink.”
“You don’t drink anything?”
“No I don’t drink anything.”
“Why not?”
“Because I am a Christian.”
“ What,” said the man, “ does
Christ keep you from drinking?”
The fisherman, at first confused by
the novelty of the question, hesitated
a moment, and then answered, “Yes!
Christ keeps me from drinking.”
The poor inebriate was struck by
the reply. He thought, “there is
help that I didn’t think of.” He
went home and into his room, and
said, “ O, lord Jesus Christ, keep me
from drinking.” Ilis appetite for
liquor suddenly left him. He was
delivered.
SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF.
Supposing your age to be fifteen or
thereabouts, 1 can figure you up to a
dot. You have 160 bones and 500
muscles; your blood weighs 25 pounds:
your heart is five inches in length and
three inches in diameter; it beats
seventy times per minute, 4,200 times
per hour, 100,800 per day, and 36,722,-
200 per year. At each beat, a little
over two ounces of blood is thrown
out of it; and each day it receives and
discharges about seven tons of that
wonderful fluid. Your lungs will
contain a gallon of air, and you
inhale 24,000 gallons per day. The
aggregate surface of the air-veils of
your lungs, supposing them to be
spread out, exceeds 20,000 square
inches. The weight of your brain is
three pounds; when you are a man
it will weigh about eight ounces more.
Your nerves exceed 10,000,000.
Your skin is composed of three
layers, and varies from one-fourth to
one-eighth of an inch in thickness.
The area of your skin is about 1,700
square inches, and you are subjected
to an atmospheric pressure of 15
pounds to the square inch. Each
square inch of your skin contains 3,500
sweating tubes or perspiratory pores,
each of which may be likened to a
little draintiie one-fourth of an inch
long, making an aggregate length of
the entire surface of your body of
201,166 feet or a tile ditch for draining
the body almost forty miles long.
A BAD COMPANION.
A good story is told of two travel
ers who were assigned the same bed
room in a crowded hotel. Before re
tiring one of them knelt down to
pray, and confessed a long catalogue
of sins. On rising from his knees* he
saw his fellow-traveller, valiee in
hand, going out at the door, and ex
claimed :
“ What’s the matter? What’s up?”
“ Oh, nothing,” was the reply,
“ only I’m not going to risk myself
with such a scamp as you confess
yourself to be.

ROYAL EXAMPLE.
At least three of the sovereigns of
Europe are reported to be abstainers
from the use of spirituous liquors.
King Amadeus, of Spain, is said to

sion to the throne has enforced some
excellent temperance measures. Ac

BE SHORT.
All contributors to newspapers
would do well to commit to memory
and practice upon the following
rules:
“ If you want to interest your read

a practical effect, he short; if you
want your article accepted by the ed
itor, be short; if you want to be a
benefit and not a bore, be short!”

{Hi'WER OF THE SOIL TO RETAIN M -
NIUES.
i From the Rural Carolinian. |
Few cultivators of the soil seem to
: bo fully aware of the wonderful jtow
i er of oven a loose and lijrht soil to re
tain plant food that has been artifi
i ciitily applied. 1 found a striking- in
stance of it a few veurs since.
The place on which I settled some
thirty' years ago was new fresh land.
, save some ten or twenty acres which
had been partially cleared and culti
vated. This by' injudicious culture
; had been nearly exhausted, but as the
| labor of clearing new land was great
to me then, I planted the old held.
The soil was a light sand, and hardly
i repaid for the planting and culture.
I notice them was about half an acre
; on a steep hill side which produced
well. I cultivated this land for sever
al years, and that hill side always pro
duced well. A stranger passing one
day stopped and inquired who lived
here, and remarked that he settled
this place twenty* years ago, hut that
losing his wife he became discouraged
and sold out. As he was about leav
ing, 1 asked him what he had done to
that hill side to make it produce so
j much hotter than the other land when
! it looked poorer and more barren. He
replied that there he had his cow pen.
It had been fifteen years since his eat
j tie trod the land, and yet as poor as it
j looked it produced well.
It is not thirty-two years since that
piece of land was cow pened, and it
shows a marked difference in its pro
ducts from the soil around it.
I am often asked is guano any ben
efit the second year ? I answer unhes
itatingly that it is. Two years ago I
planteda piece of land in sugar cane
and manured heavily with guano in
! drill. I made a fine crop of cane, and
in the fall planted the same piece of
land in wheat without manure. As
the wheat grew, the rows where 1 the
cane was planted showed a marked
difference over the other portions of
the field, and the yield was double.
Two y'ears ago I planted a- field in
Norway oats; used Pacific guano and
bone-dust. Last year I planted the
same field in cotton, using two hun
dred pounds of Pacific guano to the
acre. From some cause, which I can
not comprehend, the crop was a com
parative failure. This season I plan
ted the same field in my prolific corn,
without manure of any kind, and the
yield has been such as' to satisfy' me
that the soil had retained a good por
tion of the plant food contained in the
guano, and that the corn got the ben
efit of it. This field produced on an
average thirty bushels to the acre.
There are fields joining mine the same
light land, with the same culture, that
have not produced five bushels to the
acre. There may' be something in the
variety of corn, but not all; on the
other fields that had not been previ
ously guanoed, the yield was not
more than half.
Thus, it is very r plain to see, that
manures judiciously applied are not
exhausted by the first crop, nor do the
rains wash them away, or leech them
through. If the rain washed the fer
tilizing properties of the soil away,
the earth would long ago have been a
barren waste. It is bad culture that
wastes the soil, not plants. This lam
satisfied of my many years of prac
tical experiment. J have been thirty
two years cultivating the piney woods
land I live on. and it produces better
this year than the first year I planted
it. Chas. A. Peabody.

INCREASE THE MANURE HEAP.
A prize essay of the Illinois Agri
cultural Society for 1871, by' It. Gid
dings, details the cheapest and most,
practical plan of increasing the farm
manure pile and saving its elements
from waste, and which should be
adopted by every' farmer. Ilis plan
is simply to save every particle of the
animal excrements, liquid and solid,
with all its fertilizing elements in fact,
free from waste by washing, evapora
tion, or fire-fang. To do this, lie fills
a stall, or large bin, in his stable, du
ring dry weather, with pulverized
clay', road-scraping, or common soil.
With this he covers the floor of each
stall three inches deep, and then places
the litter for the animals’ bedding on
it; by this means, all J ae urine will
he absorbed, and its wealth of nitro
gen saved ; and such is the absorbing
power of dried earth, that one three
inch flooring will not be so thorough
ly saturated in a long time as to re
quired replacing. lle says his experi
ment required but one large bin of
pulverized earth to absorb the urine
of ten or twelve cattle during the stab
ling season ; and that two men with
a team filled the bin in one day.
Dried clay was applied also to the pig
pen and hen roost, with the same am
monia-saving results; and if applied
to the privy or earth closet, which is
now being adopted, a great manurial
as well as sanitary result would fol
low.
Tne inducements for the use of dry
earth are: Ist. That it requires no ap
paratus or cash outlay'. 2d. That the
liquid manure of cattle is worth more
than the solid, and is usually lost, but
under this practice, all is retained. .Id.
The dry' earth retains within all its
value, of which usually one-half or
one-third is lost by' fermentation,
leaching or evaporation. 4th. It gives
much larger bulk of manure, each
load of which is of double the value
of ordinary'larm-yard manure. sth.
That one ton of saturated earth is of
even fresh saved dung. Oth. That the
aggregate amount of plant-food thus
saved from the stalls is fully double,
and iu much better condition for use.
GEN. VVASIIIMiTOYS FARM.
The farm of Gen. Washington, at
Mount Vernon, contained ten thous
and acres of land in one body—equal
to fifteen square miles, it was divi
ded into farms of convenient size, at
the distance of two, three and five
miles from his mansion-house. Jle
visited these farms every day', in
pleasant weather, and was constantly
engaged in making experiments for
the improvement of agriculture.
Some idea of the extent of his farm
ing operations may be found from the
following facts : In 1787, he had five
hundred and eighty acres in grass ;
sowed six hundred bushels of oats;
seven hundred acres with wheat—and
as much more in corn, barley, pota
toes, beans, peas, &e., and 150 with
turnips. His stock consisted of one
hundred and forty' horses; two hun
dred and thirty'-six working oxen,
heifers, and steers, and five hundred
sheep. He constantly' employed two
hundred and fifty hands, and kept
twenty-four ploughs going during the
whole year, when the earth and the
state of the weather would permit. In
1780, he slaughtered one hundred and
fifty hogs, for the use of his own fam
ily'* and provisions for Ills negroes,
for whose comfort he had great re
gard- _ _
Specific for Diphtheria. —The
Italian journals publish a letter from
Dr. Giovaudi Galligarq describing the
remarkable success which has attend
ed his treatment of diphtheria with
phenie acid. He relates the lasses he
formerly experienced among his pa
tients when treating them with emol
lients, solvents, and cauterization with
hy'drochloric acid, and observes that
this cauterization can no more eradi
eate the morbid principle than tearing
the leaves off a plant will destroy the
root. He now simply uses a gargle of
phenie acid and distilled water, with
external applications of new flannel;
the food and drink to be taken cold.
After the adoption of the treatment
Dr. Galilean lost but one patient out
of fifty-eight. He requested Italian
journals to publish the discovery.
Phenie acid is the agent which is now
being used in this country' as a reme
dy'for cancer, andjseems likely' to effect
aii immense saving of lives formerly'
hopelessly sacrificed to that disease. *
lIF.II TIFFING FARMS.
Great progress has been made with- |
in the last twenty-five years among j
the farmers of the country, not only' I
; in making their farms more produc
tive, hut making them more attrac- 1
| tive. This, in a largo measure is the
; result of prosperous farming. Those
I who had debts to pay, did not feel able
[ to expend much in ornamenting their
places; hut sini'p they have freed
l themselves from this burden, thov
1 have been more disposed to attend to
! the appearance of things.
; There has been, also, an advance in
taste. There are not -o many' now, as
formerly, who decry all attention to
l the ornamental as a waste of time and
money. This race of niggardly and
boorish men is fast dying out. In-.
! creasing intelligence, the circulation
of agricultural muling, the formation
of agricultural societies, the infusion
of a larger element of educated and
cultivated men Into the profession,
have had a powerful influence in se
curing more attention to the esthetics
of farming, instead of having every
thing expended tor mere pecuniary re
turns. And this is a great advance.
It enobles the pursuit of the farmer.
Man is a creature of taste, and not a
mere grub; and he who neglects to
! cultivate and to gratify this* element
in his nature, degrades himself. Any
; one may form a pretty correct esti
mate of the intellectual, if not the
; moral state of his neighbors, hy r sim
i ply' looking over their farms. The
one who allows his buildings and
lands to lie in a slovenly state, when
, he has the means of improving them,
| may' be a money-loving, but he will
I also be a slovenly man with no elc
; vating instincts.
It is a great mistake to suppose that
money spent in reasonably' improving
the appearance of a place is thrown
away. It may he doubted whether
there is any more direct method of in
creasing its pecuniary value. Cer
tainly its market value will depend
very much upon its outward appear
ance. Tasteful and well-painted buil
dings, well-arranged yards and gar
dens with neat fences, shade trees
properly disposed, good farm fences
and cleanly-kept fields, will set off a
farm to great advantage and make an
amazing difference when it comes to
be sold. And even if it be not sold,
these things will add amazingly to
the enjoyment of it by' its possessor, if
he be not blind to everything but the
dollar.
Every man, too, owes it to the com
munity' in which he is living to con
tribute to general reputation and to
public enjoyment, by making all his
surroundings as attractive as possible.
There is such a thing as paying too
much attention to the outside and to
show ; butthere is reason in all things,
and a measure of time and attention
and expense should he devoted by'
every one to making his farm and his
home more and more attractive every
year that he lives.—Georgia Culfira
tor.
LIVE AN!) LEARN.
Among old farmers, as well as all
other people, there is a feeling of be
ing too old to learn. Some
object to reading papers and hooks on
improved modes of Agriculture; they
refuse to try' experiments in now
tilings or old, because forsooth they
are too old to learn ; they give no
thought to the best light of the age,
to improvements in crops, stock, im
plements, because the,v fancy they are
too old to learn ; they seem*to think
it is a task to learn after one has seeil
the sun of life at its zenith. Now all
this sea-saw about being too old to
learn is mere twaddle. While the
lamp holds out to burn one should al
ways strive to learn. Learning should
he the business of life, and nowhere
more so than among farmers. Some
old men have had right views of liv
ing and learning. Socrates, when
very old, learned to play on musical
instruments; Cato, at eighty, learned
the Greek language; Plutarch, when
nearly eighty, commenced the study
of Latin; Boccaccio, at thirty-five,
commenced the study of polite litera
ture ; Sir Henry' Spelman commenced
the study of the sciences when nearly
sixty; Ludovico, at 115, wrote the!
memories of his own time; OgilbyJ
the translator of Homer and Virgil,!
was unacquainted with Latin and
Greek till they were past fitt.v ; Frank
lin did not commence his plulosophi-'
cal pursuits until he was abhut fifty;
Accorso, an eminent lawyer, being
asked why he began the study of law
so late, answered that indeed he began
it late, hut therefore he should master
it sooner ; Dry den, at nearly seventy
commenced the translation of the
Iliad, and liis most pleasing produc
tions were written in his old age;
Milton wrote his grandest work when
quite old, and our own Benton acquir
ed liis literary fame after spending
thirty years in Congress, and just on
the eve of his election to the great
Congress above.
History is full of such instances, and
yet the impression everywhere pre
vails that what is learned must be
learned when we are young. This is
a mistake; live and learn should be
the motto of every one, and most es
pecially so in this learning age. Fath
ers and mothers should set examples
of learning to their children. We
write now especially for farmers; they i
have need to live and learn, and in
order to learn while they live, they
should secure and read the best papers !
and books on their profession. Agri
culture is becoming a science as well
as an art; it is knowledge as well as
labor; it requires mind as well as
muscle, to prosecute it. The farmer j
in times to come is to he the genius of \
intelligent labor, by which the fields
arc to wave their golden harvest, and
human life be adorned and honored, i

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial (Radical)
says:
The administration is playing doub- j
le on the amnesty question. Grant, |
at the White House, favors it, or pre
tends to, but Morton, Chandler, Conk
ling, Edmunds, and the other true
blue Grant men, oppose it, so that the
administration can make a record on
either side. Many of the administra
tion .Senators do not want to go on
record as opposed to Senator Sumner’s
civil rights amendment, and so they
are trying to play the jockey with
him.
A Kentucky girl says when she

nourished by her dust may lie chewed

This country is the only one that

that cannot he matched for taxes.
The quality of pleasure—Let amuse
ments fill up the chinks of your exis

Let your pleasures be taken as Daniel
took the prayer, with his windows
open—pleasures which need not cause

To pardon those absurdities in our- j
selves which we cannot suffer in oth- i
ers, is neither better nor worse than i
to be more willing to be fools our-1
selves than to have others so.
A Kansas paper’s cow obituary \
says: “ There is not a farm wagon in I

something out of; not a gate in town
she has not opened; and the stones j
that have been thrown at her would i
make five miles of turnpike.”

The Western Antidote !
McCUTCHEON'S
CHEROKEE INDIAN BITTERS.
This highly valuable Italian Remedy is
ton well known, whenever it has been used,
to require special notice.
Those who are unacquainted with its won
derful operation upon the system will find
it a certain remedy in all Diseases of the
Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs. It
is very useful in Rheumatism, l.iver Com
plaint, Ague-Cake Dysentery amt other
complaints. It warms the stomach and
bowels; cures Colic and Obstructions of the
Breast: sustains exoessivc labor of both bo
dy and mind; cures the Piles, promotes the
Appetite, assists Digestion; prevents un
pleasant dreams and frights; strengthens the
I judgment; cures Nervous, Asthmetical aud
! Hysterical Affections; removes all the dis
orders of weaknes and debility; purifies the
Blood; cures Neuralgia and Dispepsia, to
gether with most Diseases peculiar to Fe
males.
Old and young, male and female, have been
greatly benefit ted by its use. as hundreds of
letters from all parts of tlio United States
will certify. Let those who arc unac
quainted with McCutcheon’s “Cherokee In
dian Bitters,” before saying this is too
much, try a bottle, and all who do so will
unite in testifying that the half has not been
told.
Cherokee Indian Bitten possesses an ener
gy which seems to communicate new life to
the system, and renovate thefeeble, fainting
powers of nature. Its operation upon the
tissues of the body does not consist in affect
ing the irritability of the living fibre, but in
imparting a sound and healthy stimulus to
tiie Vital Organs.
It strengthens substantially and durably
the living powers of the animal machine; is
entirely innocent and harmless; may bead
ministered with impunity to both sexes, and
all conditions of life.
There is no disease of any name or na
ture, whether of young or old, male or fe
male, but that it is proper to admin’ster it
and if it be done seasonably and persever
ingly it will have a good effect. It is per
fectly incredible to those unacquainted with
the Bitters, the facility with which a heal*
thy action is often in the worst case restor
ed to the exhausted organs of the system;
with a degree of animation and desire for
food, which is perfectly astonishing to all
! who perceive it. This Medicine purifies the
I blood, restores the tonic power of the fibres,
I and of the stomach and digestive organs;
! rouses the animal spirits, and substantially
fortifies and reanimates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
Indians are the most healthy of the human
| race. They take an abundace of physical
I exercise, breathe pure air, and live on sim
! pic diet. When sick, they use no mineral
! poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plants
j “from the great drug store of their Crea
tor. ’’ McCctcheon’s “ Cherokee Indian
j Bitters” is a combination of these vegeta-
I ble substances which render it entirely in
nocent to the constitution of the most deli
cate male or female. The wonderful power
which these “Bitters” are known to pos
sess in curing diseases, evinces to the world
l that it is without a parallel in the history
| of medicine, and afford additional evidence
| that the great benefactors of the country are
not always found in the temples of wealth,
! nor the mazy walks of science, but among
the hardy son3 of Nature, whose original,
untutored minds, unshackled by the forms
of science, are left free to pursue the dic
tates of reason, truth and common sense.
Since the introduction of this remedy in
o the United States, thousauds have been
raised from beds of affliction whose lives
; were despaired of by their physicians and
1 pronounced beyond the reach of medicine
McCutcheon’s “Cherokee Bitters” has
! driven the most popular medicines of every
1 name, like chaff before the whirlwind, from
| every city, town and village where it has
been introduced, and is destined ere long to
convince the world that the red man’s rem
edies are the white man’s choice. For dis
eases peculiar to the female sex there is
nothing better. Old and young, male and
female, Lave all been greatly benefitted by
its use. Hundreds of certificates, from all
parts of the United States, which are enti
tled to the fullest confidence, speak of it in
the most favorable manner. These arc no l
only from persons who have been cured by
it, but also from some of the most eminent
physicians and druggist who have success
lully tested it in their practice, and volun
tarily offer their testimonials in its favor

CAR.TERSVILLE
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
We, the subscribers, will commence our ex
j ereises iu the above institute, on the
SECOND MONDAY INJANUARY, 1872.
j There will he three departments in this In
stitution, viz: Scholastic. Academic, and Coi
] legiate, thereby enabling the citizens of Car
tevsville. and the adjacent country, to enjoy the
privilege of giving their children a complete
j and thorough education, which, heretofore, thov
have been compelled to seek in distant institu
tions. Whilst, at present, we are compelled to
teach the elementary branches, in order to sus
tain ourselves, yet our ultimate aim will be to
build up an Institution of the highest order.
We intend to prepare the youth who may lie
entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, cither
of private or of public life ; and whilst we are
imparting that knowledge, and those scientific
principles which will enable them to take a
nigh and distinguished stand among their fel
low-men, wo will also instruct them in that
higher knowledge and moral culture, which
alone can elevate man for that sphere, which
Cod intended him to fill.
This Institution will consist of Male ami Fe
male scholars, giving girls hero a chance to
prepare themselves cither for teacher- or for
business stations in life, thus enabling them to
make an independent living.
The tuition will be from S2OO to SSOO per
mouth, according to grade, payable monthly.
The government of this institution will bo
mild, but firm. As order is the first law of na
ture, so children must, and will, he governed,
that arc entrusted to our rare.
Large boys and girls will be put upon their
parole of honor, and if they do, at any time,
violate the rules of the institution, they must
immediately reform, or else retire from the
Institution.
As no corrupting nor demoralizing influence
will he tolerated in this Institution, our rules
are simply obedience and hard study ; and if
parents or guardians will give us their co-op
eration, they will he sure to get the worth of
their money. We intend to have our Institution
incorporated, so as to confer degrees.
