THE BEAKER.
Ere he reached there, his master,
Judge Hautmartin, met him, and
said: “James, what are you carry-,
ing ?”
“ A lx)x for Mrs. Manon; but, sir,
I must not say from whom.”
“ Why not?”
“ Beoaase Mr. Colin will never for
give me.”
‘‘ It is well that you cun bo silent.
Yet it is already late. Give me the
box; lam going in the morning any
how to Mrs. Manon’s. I will de
liver the l»ox to her and not betray
that it comes from Colin. It saves
you a trip, and serves mo a good
turn.”
James gave the box to his master
whom he was accustomed to obey in
uli things without contradiction. The
Judge bore it into his room and ex
amined it by the light with great cu
riosity. Upon the cover w'as neatly
written with red chalk: “To the
lovely and beloved Marietta.” But
Mr. Jlautmartin knew well that this
was only a trick of Colin, and
that a wicked device lurked under it.
He therefore prudently opened the
box, for might not a mouse or rat be
concealed in it ? But as he caught
sight of the wonderful pitcher, which
he himself laid seen at Vence, he was
really frightened. For Mr. Ilaut
martin wits as experienced a man in
what is right as what is wrong, and
knew that the thinking and striving
of the human heart are wicked from
youth up. He understood immedi
ately that Colin wished to got Mari
etta into trouble with the pitcher;
when it should be in her hands to
pass it off for a present for some fa
vored lover from the city, so that all
right-minded people would have been
obliged to withdraw from Marietta.
Therefore Mr. Hautmartin, the
Judge, resolved in order to removo
all wicked suspicions, to acknowledge
himself as the giver of tho pitcher.
Without doubt Marietta was dear to
him and he would gladly havo seen
her follow better towards him the ad
vice of the gray-haired pastor Jerome:
“ Little children love one another.”
To be sure Mr. Hautmartin was a
little child of fifty, and Marietta
thought the advice no longer applied
to him. Mother Manon, on tho con
trary, found that the Judge was a
sensible child, had gold, and influence
in all Napoule, from one end of the
place to the other. When tho Judge
spoke of marriage and Marietta left
from fear, Mother Manon remained,
and was not at all afraid before the
tall, grave gentleman. Indeed it
must bo understood there was no
fault in his whole body. Although
Colin might be the handsomest man
in the place, yet the Judge had the ad
vantage of him in two things, name
ly, tho number of his years, and a big,
big nose. Y( s, this nose which al
ways went in advance of tho J udge
as a satellite to an no unee his approach,
was a real elephant among the noses
of men.
With this elephant, his good in
tention and the pitcher, the Judge
went on tho following morning to the
house between the olive trees and
African acacias. “ For the beautiful
Marietta,” said he, “ nothing is too
costly for me. You admired the
pitcher yesterday at Vence. Allow
me, fair Marietta, to lay it and my
loving heart at your feet.” Manon
and Marietta were transported and
astonished when they saw tho beau
tiful pitcher. Manon’s eyes sparkled
with delight; but Marietta turned
away and said: “ I ought to accept
neither your heart nor your pitcher.”
Then Mother Manon grew angry and
cried:
“ But I tako both heart and pitcher.
O, you simpleton, how long will you
despise your good fortune ? For
whom are you waiting? Shall a
Count of Provence mako you a bride
that you despise the Judge of La
Napoule ? I know better how so care
for you. Mr. Hautmartin, I deem it
an honor to call you my sondn-law.”
Then Marietta went out and wept
bitterly, and hated the beautiful
pitcher with her whole heart. But 1
the Judge stroked himself over the
nose with his flat hand and spoke
wisely:
“ Mother Manon, don’t be in too
great a hurry. The little dove will
at last submit, when she learns to
know me better. lam not impatient
I understand the nature of the dear
woman, and ere a fourth of a year
elapses, I shall creep into Marietta’s
heart.”
‘‘His nose is too big for that!”
whispered Marietta, who, out before
the door listened and laughed to her
self. In fact, a fourth of a year pass
ed and Mr. Hautmartin had not pen
etrated onco into her heart with the
point of his nose.
THE FLOWERS.
But during the fourth of a year
Marietta had indeed other concerns.
The pitcher caused her much vexation
and trouble, and something besides.
For a fortnight they spoke of noth
ing but the pitcher in La Napoule.
And every one said : “It is a present
from the Judge and the marriage is
already agreed upon. But when Ma
rietta had declared solemnly to her
companions that she would rather
commit herself to the bottom of the
sea than to the Judge, the maidens
continued only so much the more to
tease her, saying: “Ah! how de
lightful it must be to rest in the
shade of his nose!”—This was the
first vexation.
Then Mother Manon had the cruel
rule that she compelled Marietta to
rinso the pitcher in the morning by
the brook a* the cliff, and to fill it
with fresh flowers. She hoped by
that means to accustom Marietta to
the pitcher and to the heart of the
giver. But she continued to hate
both gift and giver and the perfor
mance at tho brook became a real
punishment to her. Vexation sec
ond.
Then, when she came in the mor
ning to the brook there lay always
twice in the week upon the cliff close
beside, some of the most beautiful
flowers, already arranged as if made
lon purpose for the adornment of
j the pitcher. Around the stems of
the flowers \va j always twisted a strip
of paper and thereon was inscribed :
“ Dear Marietta.” But one must not
presume to make the little Marietta
believe that there are still enchant
ments and fairies in the world. Con
sequently the flowers and the sweet
words themselves came from Mr.
[ Hautmartin. Marietta would not
even smell of them because the living
breath from the Judge’s nose had
blown around them. However, she
took the flowers, because they were
better than the wild flowers, and tore
the bit of paper into a thousand
pieces and strewed them upon the
rock where the flowers were accus
tomed to lie. But this did not at ail
vex the Judge, whose love was in
comparably great in its kind as his
nose in its way. Third vexation.
But finally it came out in conver
sation with Mr. Hautmartin that he
was not the giver of the flowers.
Who now could it be? Marietta was
much astonished over the unhoped
for discovery. She took the flowers
from the rock more willingly from
that time, and even smelled of them,
but—who laid them there ? Mariet- i
ta was, as maidens are not generally j
accustomed to be, very curious. She i
guessed this and that young man of j
La Napoule. But this could not be j
guessed out. She watched and lurk- j
ed late in the night; she arose early. {
But she found oilt nothing by watch- i
ing and hiding. Yet twice in the)
week in the mornings the wonderful
flowers lay always upon the rock and
upon the strip of paper wound around,
she read always the quiet sigh to her
self : “ Hear Marietta.” Such a thing
must indeed make the most indiffer- I
cut curious. But curiosity causes at |
last burning pain. Vexation fourth.

ADVICE TO WRITERS.
The New York Observer gives ad
vice to writers for the newspapers.
See how old editors lecturo on the
subject:
Omit the beginning of your \ essay.
Most of writers, not used to the press,
imagine that an article like an or
ation, should have an exordium, an
argument and conclusion. Not at
all. The argument is all that is
wanted. That is, shite your case, say
your say, and stop. Ho not take time
and space to got into the subject, and
more* to get out of it; but come to it
instantly, and stop when you are
done.
Hr. Griffin used to say that he
could put the five volumes of a Bible
Commentary into one volume, and
not lose an idea worth retaining.
We believe he could have done it.
and so could we.
Be short. The time is short, tho
world is very fast now, and readers of
newspapers do not want long articles.
Pack your thoughts into short words,
sentences, and short essays. If you
never do a great thing, never do a
long thing.
Come to the point. If you have no
point, lay down the pen, and do
something else, rather than write. It
is not every one who can write for
edification, and you may not be one
who can.
Write the article two or three times
over carefully, making it shorter each
time. Write on one side only of the
paper. Write legibly. Keep a copy
of what you send to the press. Edi
tors do not return manuscripts. We
can not underiake to, and we so state
every week, but are every week ask
ed to. It is impossible to make tho
reasons plain to writers, but it is out
of the question.
Be very modest in your estimate of
your own productions, and do not
fret if others esteem them even less
than you do.
THE RELIGIOUS SCOFFER.
The following is related of the eel
brated Dr.Belknap:
Upon a certain occasion, in the
Cresence of a vast and brilliant assem
lage, a person more noted for his
self-esteem than for his learning, was
speaking against the Christian reli
gion in terms of the severest scorn
and derision.
Unfortunately for the orator, his
remarks were overheard by the doc
tor, who, stepping up to him, asked:
“ Well, sir, have you found a religion
that is better?” The scoffer, consid
erably abashed by this unlooked-for
question, was forced to acknowledge
that thus far he had not. “ Well,”
responded the doctor, “ when you
have, let me know, and I will join
you in adopting it.”
The rebuke was as wise as it was
just.
Os all classes of sinners, certainly
the religious scoffer is the least to be j
envied. No followers of Satan re
ceive poorer wages, no trangressor i
against God shall be more severely
punished. “ Whoso despiseth the
word shall be destroyed.”
THE GREAT MISSION OF WOMEY.
Great indeed is the task assigned to
women! Who can elevate its digni
ty? Not to make laws, not to lead
armies, not to govern empires; but
to form those by whom laws are
made, armies led, and empires gov
erned ; to guard against the slightest
taint of bodily infirmity, the frail,
yet spotless creature, whoso moral no
less than physical being must be de
rived from her; to inspire those prin
ciples, to inculcate those doctrines, to
animate those sentiments which gen
erations yet unborn, and nations yet
uncivilized, will learn to bless: * to
soften firmness into mercy, and chas
ten honor into refinement; to exalt
generosity into a virtue with a sooth
ing care; to allay the anguish of the
mind; by her tenderness to disarm
passion; by her purity to triumph
over sense; to cheer the scholar sink
ing under his toil; to be compensa
tion for friends that are perfidious—
for happiness that has passed away.
Such is her vocation. The couch of
the tortured sufferer, the prison of
the deserted friend, the cross of the
rejected Saviour—these are theatres
on which her greatest triumphs have
been achieved. Such is her destiny;
to visit thejforsaken, to tend to the
neglected; when monarehs abandon,
when counsellors entrap, when justice
prosecutes, when brethren and disci
ples flee, to remain unshaken and un
changed, and to exhibit to this lower
world a type of that love, constant
pure and inefable, which in another
we are taught to believe the test of
virtue.
The North American Indians ob
serve an admirable rule in their so

ing only one at a time. We earnest

At _St. Petersburg, Russia, a com
mercial steamship company has been
organized, under the patronage of the
Emperor, with a capital of 8,000,000
roubles, to build steamers, and extend
Russian commerce generally. The
company will, by preference, build
small steamers, of which there will he
twenty of from 500 to 1000 tons, and
ten of from 1000 to 2000 tons burden.
: It is anticipated that, before long, we
; shall have Russian-built ocean steam
i ships plying to our American ports
| with nothing English about them.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15,1872.
TO SAVE SOULS.
Matthew Henry was accustomed
!to say: “To win a single soul from
, Satan to Christ would afford me
■ greater joy than to possess a raoun
| taid of silver and gold.” Os the god
;ly A Heine it was said: “He was in
f finitely, insatiably greedy of the con
version of souls.”
! When Christians all have this mind
1 to work for their Lord, how will the
i sheaves be multiplied. A great many
; things we take pleasure in now, we
; shall find no joy in when the last
I hour comes. But if we can remem
i i)er even one }>oor child, God permit
; ted as to lead into his kingdom, it
will afford us more comfort than eof
| fers of gold.
When Dr. Lyman Beecher lay on
his dying bed, a brother minister
i said to him: “ Dr. Beecher, you
i know a great deal; tell us what is
! the best of all things?” Let all em
bassadors of Christ mark his answer:
“It is not theology ; it is not con
troversy ; it is to save souls.”
We roast labor and pray for souls
as those who must account to God for
every one we might influence, if we
would lie successful. We need the
spirit of John Welsh, who, on the
coldest winter nights, would rise to
pray and wrestle with God for a
blessing on his flock. In reply to his
wife’s remonstrance, he answered:
“ I have three thousand souls to
give account to God for, and I know
not how it is with many of them.”
Like the blessed Brainard, he needs
to be willing to deny himself, if by
it he can better win souls.
“ I cared not how or where I liv
ed,” he said, “or what hardships I
went through, so that I could but
gain souls to Christ. While I was
asleep I dreamed of these things, and
when I awaked the first I thought of
was this great work. All my desire
was for the con version of the heathen,
and all my hope was in God.”

A blind girl had been in the habit
of muling her Bible by means of rais
ed letters, such as are prepared for the
use of the blind; but aftera while, by
working in a factory, the tips of her
finders became so calloused that she
could no more by her hands read the
precious promises. She cut off the
tips of her fingers that her touch
might be more sensitive; but still
she failed with her hands to read the
raised letters. In her sorrow, she
took the Bible and said: “ Farewell,
my dear Bible. You have been the
joy of my heart!” Then she pressed
the open page to her lips and kissed
it, and as she did so she felt with her
mouth the letters: “ The Gospel ac
cording to St. Mark.” “ Thank God!”
she said; “if I cannot read the Bible
with my fingers, I can read it with
my lips.” On ! in that last hour when
the world goes away from our grasp,
press this precious gospel to our lips,
that, in that dying kiss, we may taste
the sweetness of the promise: “ When
thou palest through the waters I will
be with thee; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee.”—Tal

In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
CUEIST HAS COME OVER JORDAN.
“ The Master has come over Jordan,”
Said Hannah, the mother, one day"
“Is healing the people who throng’Him

“And now I shall carry the children,
Little Rachel, and Samuel, and John;
I shall carry the baby, Esther,

“Now, who but a doting mother
Would think of a thing so wild?
“ If the children were tortured by demons,
Or dying of fever, ’t were w ell;
Or hau they the taint oi the leper,
Like many in Israel.”
“Nay, do not hinder me, Nathan,
I feel such a burden oi care,
If I carry it to the Master,
Perhaps I shall leave it there.

My heart will be lighter, I know,
For a blessing forever and ever
Will follow them as they go.” -

The following pretty poem is copied
from the Christian " weeklyr, accom
panying an illustration, which tells a
story of contentment under the most
humble circumstances. It is a
picture of lowly life, in which human
love and gratitude to the Almighty
for the smallest blessing are beauti
fully blended. A poor old couple are
seated alone, and are about to com
mence their frugal meal, when the
old man says:

CHEWING GUM.
A gentleman in the streets of C.,
lowa, lately counted, in fifteen min
utes, seventeen ladies chewing gum.
This habit prevails extensively—es
pecially in the West. Almost every
school girl you meet is chewing, chew
ing.
Os course it will not be pretended
that this habit is either as injurious
or as nasty as that of chewing tobacco,
yet it is not altogether innocent.
When food is taken saliva is secret
ed to aid in masticating it. When
other substances are chewed, saliva is,
at first, secreted as for food ; but the
vital instincts soon recognizing the
nature of the substance, excrete a fluid
similar to saliva for the defense of the
issues. This fluid f thrown out against
tobacco, gum, etc.,) is really an excre
tion.
The bile occasioned by taking poi
sonous medicines, has by careful ex
periment and analysis, been found to
be quite a different substance from
that secreted by the liver in its healthy
action. So the fluid which the salivary
glands produce during protracted
chewing of that which is not food, is
quite different from healthy saliva.
The waste, however, is probably just
as great as if it were healthy saliva.
Those who habitually chew gum, un
duly exercise either ultimate debility,
or undue development in size. There
is also danger of permanent deprecia
tion and poisoning of the salivary
glands.
This constant chewing also injures
the teeth. The teeth are no small
item in a lady’s beauty ; and as they
go to such rapid decay in America,
demanding so early the dentist’s care,
it is surprising that ambitious young
ladies should so wantonly destroy
them. Boys often ruin their teeth by
cracking nuts; they do it to get at the
kernel—they have a motive—but
what possible motive can boys, girls,
or women have for chewing, chewing,
hour after hour, an insipid lump of
gum.
The habit also diverts attention
from duty or study, and is one of the
familiar modern modes of killing
time. In short, it is a useless, inde
cent, unhealthy practice. Bovs and
girls, let it alone.— Medical Journal.
A machine has now been perfected
which may be applied to cooling the
air of theatres, halls, and all public or
private dwellings. One of these ma
chines will either produce 200 pounds
of ice per hour, or will furnish, in the
same space of time, 30,000 cubic feet
of air, cooled to a temperature of 30
degrees Fahrenheit. It is probable
that, in a few years, we will turn on,
from the same registers, the cool air
in summer and hot air in winter. The
application of such an apparatus to
the pipes of a heater would be ex
tremely simple, and furnish just what
we want when the heater is off duty.
Fux Ahead ! —We learn that the
State Road Investigating Committee
have ordered one hundred blank war
rants for immediate use.

pointment—that of Hon. W. W.

Gen. P. M. B. Young sits on the

mendation or personal description.—
There is no discount of his Democra

that he is just now on matrimonial

question is a daughter of Hon. Robt.

port speaks truly, your dashing Rep

DELUSIONS OF GIRLHOOD.
The following is a bit of Fanny
Fern’s experience:
I used to believe in school friend
ship. That delusion ended when
Arabella Triplet told the mutal that
I was years and years her senior,
knowing what a terrible lib she told.
I used to suffer pangs of anger be
cause of woes of beggars. Since that
I have seen one unstray his leg in an
area, and run off' gaily on two legs of
his own. Another threw a lot of
bread in the gutter, and I saw a third
who had all the day been yelling,
“ Please assist the blind,” carefully
examining his collection of ten cent
stamps by the light of a friendly ap
plewoman’s candle.
I used to put the greatest faith in
lover’s vows. Now, Ido not believe
a man means anything he says to a
woman unless it is something disa
greeable.
I used to believe in faithful ser
vants. Since then I have hired girls
from intelligence offices, and lost all
my handkerchiefs.
I used to believe in beauty. Since
then I have seen a bewitching belle
take off half her hair, all her teeth,
the best of her complexion, two
pounds cotton batting and a corset.
THE LADIES OF BAGDAD.
The wives of the higher classes in
Bagdad are usually selected from the
most beautiful girls that can be ob
tained from Georgia and Circassia;
and to their natural charms, in like
manner with their captive sisters all
over the East, they add the fancied
embellishments of painted complex
ions, hands and feet dyed with henna
and their hair and eyebrows stained
with the rang, or prepared indigo
leaf. Chaines of gold, and collars of
pearls, with various ornaments of
precious stones, decorate the upper
part of their prsons, while solid brace
lets of gold, in shapes resembling ser
pents, clasp their wrists and ankles.
Silver and golden tissued muslins
not only form their turbans, but
frequently their under-garments. In
summer, the ample pelisse is made
of the most costly shawl; and in cold
weather, lined and borderd with the
choicest furs. The dress is altogether
very becoming; by its easy folds and
glittering transparancy, showing a
fine shape to advantage, without tho
immodest exposure of tne open vest
of the Persian ladies. The humbler
females generally move abroad with
faces Tin veiled, having a handkerchief
rolled round their heads, from beneath
which their hair hangs down over
their shoulders, while another piece
of linen passes under their chin, in
the fashion of the Georgians. But to
return to the ladies of the higher
circles, in some gay saloon of Bagdad.
When all are assembled, the evening
meal, or dinner, is soon served. The
party, seated in rows, then prepare
themselves for the entrance of the
show; which, consisting of music and
dancing, continues in noisy exhibtion
through the*whole night. ~At twelve
o’clock, supper is produced; when
pilaus, kabobs, preserves, fruits, dried
sweemeats, and sherbets of every
sabric and flavor, engaged the fair
convives for some time. Between this
second banquet and the preceding,
the perfumed narquilly is never
absent from their rosy lips; except
when they sip coffee, or indulge in a
general shout of approbation, or a
hearty peal of laughter, at the freaks
of the dancers, or the subject of the
singers, madrigals. But no respite
is given to the entertainers; and.
during so long a stretch of merriment
should any of the happy guests feel a
sudden desire for temporary repose,
without the least apology, she lies
down to sleep on the luxurious carpet
that is her seat; and thus she remains
sunk in as deep an oblivion as if the
nummud were spread in her own
chamber.
Mrs. Partington entered the office
of the honorable Probate Judge,
—(usually called “ Civilian”)—ana
inquired in her blandest tone: “ Are
you the civil villian ?” “ Do you wish
to insult me madam ?” said the Judge.
“ Yes,” replied the old lady, “my
brother died detested, and left three
infidel children, and I’m to be their
executioner; so I want to insult the
civil villian about it.”
A saloon keeper having started
business in a building w’here trunks
had been made, asked a friend what
he had better do with the old sign,
“ Trunk Factory.” “ Oh,” said the
friend, “ just change the T to D, and
it will suit you exactly.”
Os all the disagreeable habits the
W’orld was ever tormented with,
scolding is the most annoying. To
hear a saw filed, to hear a peacock
scream, or an Indian yell, Ls music
compared with it. Throw hot ashes
in our face, tread on our corns, but
don’t scold near us.
A lady tells us that when she was a
poor little girl living in the country,
she used to “ plant corn in her bare
feet.” This imparts anew idea of
the origin of those troublesome things
growing on our toes.
A single hair of Napoleon I. sold,
for SIOO at a London Fair last month.
\Ve would be willing to sell every
hair in our head at half the money.
A clergyman forbade any further
contributions under five cents, saying
that “the widow's mite business is
played out here.”
A man should no more make his
honesty a boast than a woman should
her virtue. To speak too much of ei
ther renders them questionable.
Little can be done well to which
the whole mind is not applied.
The fickleness of fortune is felt all
over the world.

GUAYOES.
Sulphate of ammonia has risen
much in price this year, the present
price being £2l to £22 j>er ton. and it
is very necessary to have the percent
age of ammonia guaranteed, which
in the first quality should be 25 per
cent., and in the second not less than
j 23 per cent.
The quality of the guano from the
Guanape Islands has not improved;
three-fourths of the samples of guano
analysed by I)r. Voelcker were from
the Guanape Islands, and the majority
were too wet and lumpy for direct
I application to tho land. Many sam
' pies contained from 23 to 24 per cent,
jof water, and but few more than 10
per cent, of ammonia. In former
j years such guano would have teen
sold as sea-damaged, varying aceor-
I ding to the intrinsic value of the car
go. During the last season. Guanape
Islands guano has all been sold at one
uniform price, and importers would j
not allow samples to be taken of the |
1 quality of the various cargoes, so that ;
f analyses might be made before pur- i
: chase. The sales of guano have, eon
, sequently, fallen off Very much.
There is reason to believe that the j
Peruvian guano which will be offered
in future, when the Government sales
: in this country are undertaken by the
I new contractor, will be of superior
; character. The supply of good guano,!
! Dr. Voelcker adds, is of the greater I
; importance, because, whilst phospha- {
; tic fertilizers aro being constantly dis-1
covered, and the supply from phos-!
phatic rocks and minerals is practi- |
cally inexhaustsble, the sources from i
which ammonia can be obtained are !
limited. The supply, therefore, of!
guano from the Ballestas Islands,
which may be looked for next year,
and samples of which Professor Yo
elcke has already analysed, will be
most welcome.
The aecompanying-Table shows the
analysis of 17 different cargoes of Bal
lestas Islands guano, an abundant
supply of which may be looked for
ward to for a good many years.

Five or six cases have been brought
under his notice, in which decorticat
ed cotton cake was alleged to have
caused the death of sheep and lambs;
as, however, some of these cakes were
of a superior quality, and none of
them contained any poisonous ingre
dients, it is Dr. Yoeleker’s opinion
the animals nrobably partook too
freely of the cake, and could not di
gest the large proportion of nitrogen
ous compound contained in good cot
ton cake, and he suggests the admix
ture of Indian Com or some similar

and Agricultural Gazette.
PLOUGHING AND PREPARATION.
Whilst our remarks are specially
intended for the oat crop, yet let us
here, once for all. give it as our firm
conviction, that the proper prepara
tion of the ground is more than half
the battle in raising good crops. It
has been proved that land ploughed
5 or 6 inches will not yield, all things
else being equal, more than one-half
as much as when the ploughing is
twice as deep. After the surface
ploughing is done to the usual depth,
then run another plow in the furrow,
and stir the under stratum to the
depth of oto 6 inches more. Many
farmers prefer that the subsoil be not
mixed with that of the surface, but by
loosing it, the roots penetrate deeper,
where they will find more moisture
in the earth, and have also the advan
tage of the manure natural to the
soil, and usually untouched by the
plow. Let it be understood, that we
must make an improvement in this
branch of our operations, as much of
our success depends upon our mode
of cultivation. In our first No. we
called attention, incidentally, to, this
matter, but we must beg again to al
lude to it, as we believe that if the
ground is well and deeply ploughed,
harrowed and cross-harrowed, ana
the roller then applied, success will
almost be certainly insured, and
much will have been done to make
good any deficiency in your manur
ing—the latter, however, still further
increasing the product, to an extent
commensurate with the amount and
quality of the manure used.
Let a demonstration here prove
what we have said above about plow
ing. On an experimental farm, two
plots of ground were selected, each
containing about 14J acres—one plot
(A.) was plowed 9 inches; the other
( B.) the same depth, then in the same
furrow, 5 inches deeper, and then
subsoiled without turning over, to a
further depth of 7 inches, making in
all a depth of 21 inches; the same ma
mures were applied, and in all res
pects the plots were treated alike.—
The result was, that A. produced 82
measures of roots (sugar beet,) and B.
190 measures; the saccharine matter
in the roots of the first was 11.15 per
ct., whilst in the latter it was 15.22
per ct., consequently the crop of B.
contained more than three times the
amount of sugar that was found in A.
Another test will further illustrate
this all important subject, and per
haps aid, in some small degree at
least, to elucidate the question pro
pounded by Mr. Newton, of “ What
shall we dot ” A cotton planter in
Georgia, in an experiment to test the
effect of subsoiling, with and without
manuring, found the following as the
result:—A row of cotton, umnanured
and not subsoiled, produced at the rate
of 385 lbs. of cotton per acre. Anoth
er row unmanurcd but subsoiled , pro
duced at the rate of G3O lbs. per acre,
whilst a third row, both subsoiled and
manured , gave at the rate of 1200 lbs.
per acre, being nearly twice the quan
tity raised on the second, and more
than thrice that on the first row des
ignated ; the manure was the aver
age quantity used upon other plots
that were ploughed and worked in
the usual manner.
We know some will contend that
one swallow does not make a summer;
but proofs of similar results can be
multiplied without number, and al
though like treatment of all soils and
subsoils may not produce equally fa
vorable effects as the above, yet we
believe that such an improvement can
be made upon our crops, by the prop
er ploughing and pulverizing of the
soil, that a largely increased product
will be secured—the main advantage
attained being, the ease with which
the roots of most plants can penetrate
the earth after the stirring and light
ening of the subsoil, which gives ac
cess more freely to the air and the
rains, which will keep the ground
moist below the surface, where it is
not so likely to be dried up by the
heat of the summer’s sun, so that
whilst other crops are suffering from
drought, those on the land deeply
ploughed have access to a store-house
of moisture, to maintain themselves.
But let it be understood, that the
great benefit to be derived from the
process recommended is jpredicated
upon the plants having a dry bed up
on which to rest—and when this is
not the case, drainage must be resort
ed to or the effects of the working
cannot be expected to be realized to
the fullest effect—if, indeed, at all.—
American Farmer.
To Cut Glass.—Any hard steel
tool will cut glass with facility, when
kept freely wet with camphor dis
solved in turpentine. The ragged
edge of glass may also be thus smooth
ed with a flat file.
lEGETAIILE GARDEN.
If the ground was spaded in the fail
and manure scattered over the surface,
as we have advised, it will be found
mellow and in line condition for the
spring planting. It is too late now to
apply unrottea or long mauure—that
which is well-rotted may be applied
at any time. The best plan is to make
a liberal application of long manure
in the fall, and then add a little com
mercial fertilizer when the seed are
sown.
Irish potatoes for an early crop
should now be planted—open good
furrows 24 feet apart, scatter a mix
ture of wood-yard scrapings, rotted
j wheat straw or something similar and
; ashes, and plant the potatoes a foot to
! a foot and a half apart. If chip ma
nure, Ac., is abundant, cover with
this, filling the trenches—if not, cover
i with dirt. Do not cover the surface
| with straw until danger of frost is
over. Apply it then by all means if
; you have it.
S Different varieties seem to be udup
■ ted to different localities. The Early
! Rose we like best of all we have tried
' —the Early Goodrich next. The lat
! ter produces abundantly, but many of
i the tubers are small.
English Peas may be planted also
this month. Select ground which
was well manured a year ago. Apply
' no manure now, unless it be a little
1 super-phosphate in the drill. If the
| seed are covered deep, they are liable
| to rot, if the weather is cold and wet.
j Sow the seed thickly in the drill—the
I plants produce best when pretty sharp
| ly crowdqd in the drill.
Towards the latter part of the
i month, sow beets, carrots, parsnips,
j Ac. For beets, we have found no ma
nure equal to pure Peruvian guano.
It delights in ammoniacal matter.
Spinach should also be planted, to
furnish early “ greens.” It is more
healthful aud much more delicate
than “ turnip greens.” Have the
soil rich and so in drills 18 inches
apart, and thin out w hen the plants
are well set to a foot in the drill. If
lettuce was not sown in the fall, scat
ter the seed on the surface, and press
them in with back of hoe or spade.
The ground should be rich to bring
them forward early.
Put out onion “ sets” as soou as pos
sible. Make the ground as rich as
possible, and press tho “ sets” in the
loose soil—do not cover them. The
bulbs are larger when they grow above
ground. If the ground is very rich,
onion seeds sown now, will make very
fair bulbs the present season.
If the Asparagus bed lias not been
attended to, clean off the trash and
give it a thick dressing of well-rotted
but good manure. A moderate dress
ing of salt also will be found benefi
cial.
If the Strawberry bed was not
mulched in the fall, clean it off, rake
over the surface, apply some good su
perphosphate and then mulch well
with straw.
Raspberries—Shorten in the canes,
and tie them securely to stakes or oth
er supports. Raspberries grow very
well at the South, in shady and damp
situations, as on the northern side of
high fences or walls.
It is not too early to start hardy
vegetables like cabbages, in hot beds
or cold frames. The latter answers
every purpose, in most parts of the
South. —/Southern Cultivator.
“ WHAT SHALL WE DO J”
This ever-securing question, “What
shall we do ?” has yet received no
satisfactory answer. Many of our
zealous farmers have suggested vari
ous expedients to mitigate, if not to
cure, our ills. Some of them tell you
“ Corn does not pay,” “ Wheat does
not pay,” and each will suggest some
substitute that may be more profita
ble. “ liaise sheep” says one, “Plant
ground peas” says a second, or “ Po
tatoes” says a third. “ Set out an or
chard,” “ Plant strawberries and the
smaller fruits for the market,” “Go
to trucking generally.” “ Cultivate
small farms and make them rich.”
All this may be very good advice in
its way, but it is obvious it falls far
short of the needs of a great agricult
ural community, with boundless ex
tent of territory and without capital
or labor to cultivate it.
Where so many wise heads have
failed I have great diffidence in offer
ing my crude suggestions, but in time
of great difficulty, no man should
withhold his counsel. I would say,
then, be not rash in abandoning the
old paths. Consult the dictates of
good sense and experience, and above
all, do not lose faith in superintending
Providence. If you have had unpro
pitious seasons, remember that they
nave been confined to no age or coun
try. Let us plant those crops that are
best suited to our soil anol locality.
If your location should render special
ties profitable, devote your attention
to them, but all the farmers in a great
State cannot be truckers. The true
course for those who cultivate their
own farms is to pursue the British
system of convertible husbandry. Raise
grain, grass, stock of all kinds, sheep,
cattle, horses, suitable to the soil ana
pastures, not forgetting hogs and poul
try. In a word, raise everything nec
essary for home consumption, and
have a surplus of all for sale. De
pend for improvement of your land
mainly on lime, clover and home
made manure. Let us be content;
“ pay as we go,” and avoid the great
sin of making liaste to be rich, and
though poor, we may be happy.—
American Farmer.
“ Will you or some of your readers
please inform me how to construct
the “ Barrel Roller” for rolling Cotton
Seed for planting ? I see the above
implement spoken of by “L.” of
Sumter County, S. C., in a recent No.
of the Cultivator. Pleas answer as
early as practicable.—W. J. M.,
Carnpbelton, Ga., Dec. 22nd , 1871.”
First, obtain a common whiskey
barrel, cut a square hole in one side,
the width of two staves, (cut with a
key hole saw,) the two pieces (fastened
with a batten) serving as a door, and
srcured by common thumb buttons.
Next, run a plain wooden axle
through the centre of the heads, with
a handle at one end, for turnning the
barrel like a grind-stone. It is then
mounted on two posts or forks driven
in the ground, so as to suport the
machine, about two feet above the
earth. Now to operate. Put in two
bushels of cotton seed and a bucket
of water—roll the machine slowly a
few minutes, or until the seed 'are
thoroughly wet. Next, introduce
twelve lbs. (or even more, if desired)
of sifted Peruvian Guano, Land
Plaster, or Dry Ashes, and after a few
more revolutions, the machine may
be emptied, by turning the barrel
untill the hole is underneathed. The
seed will be found perfectly separated
and as thoroughly rolled as could be
done in the usual way in one hour.
The whole operatiou need not con
sume ten minutes.—R. J. R., South
ern ChUtivatotor.
Eye and Indian Bread.—Was
there ever any bread so good as rye
and Indian beead? Pity there are so
few who know how to make it. Once
in a great while we find some old lady
who can do it to a charm. We knew
several a few years ago, and one of
them told us just how to make it. She
said: “ For a good, thick loaf I take
one pint rye nour to three pints corn
meal, one-half tea-cup of molasses, or
brown sugar, scald with boiling wa
ter—be sure to stir in water enough to
thoroughly scald it—cover it up and
let it stand till cool, then reduce with
cold sw r eet milk until thin enough to
pour into your pan, bake all day, let
it stand in the oven all night, and in
the morning you will have the best
loaf of bread you ever tasted. If your
crust is too hard to eat, remove it,
soak it in water and add to your next
loaf. It will be richer than the first.”

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
Wn, tlie subscribers, will commence our ex
orcises in the above Institute, on tlie
SECOND MONDAY INJANUARY, 1872.
There will bo three departments in this In
stitution, viz: Scholastic, Academic, and Col
legiate, thereby enabling the citizens of Car
tersville, and the adjacent country, to enjoy the
privilege of giving their children a complete
and thorough education, which, heretofore, they
have been compelled to seek in distant institu
tions. Whilst, at present, we are compelled to
teach the elementary branches, fn 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 mar be
entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, cither
of private or of nublic life ; and whilst we are
imparting that knowledge, and those scientific
principles which will enable them to take a
high and distinguished stand among their fel
low-men, we will also instruct them in that
higher knowledge and moral culture, which
alone can elevate man for that sphere which
God intended him to Jill.
This Institution will consist of Mule and Fe
male scholars, giving girls hero a chance to
prepare themselves either for teachers or for
business stations in life, thus enabling them to
make an independent living.
The tuition will he from S2OO to |SOO per
month, according to grade, pavablo 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, bo govoraed,
that are entrusted to our care.
Large boys and girls will be put npon their
parole of honor, and if they do, at any time,
violate tho rules of the institution, they must
immediately reform, or else retire from the
Institution.
As no corrupting nordemorallzing influence
will lie tolerated in this Institution, our rules
aro simply obedience and hard study; and if
parents or guardians will give us their co-op
eration, they will be sure to get the worth of
their money. We intend to have our Institution
incorporated, so as to confer degrees.

The Western Antidote !
McCUTCHEON’B
CHEROKEE DfDIAH BITTERS.
This highly valuable Indian Remedy U
too well known, whenever it haa 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 th«
Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs. It
is very useful in Rheumatism, hirer Com
plaint, Ague-Cake Dysentery and atber
complaints. It warms the stomach and
bowels ; oures Colio and Obstructions of tha
Breast; sustains excessive labor of both bo
dy and mind; cures the Piles, promotes the
Appetite, assists Digestion; prevents un
pleasant dreams and frights; strengthens the
judgment; cures Nervous, Asthmetical and
Hysterical Affections; removes all the dis
orders of weaknes and debility ; purifies the
Blood; cures Neuralgia and Dispepsio, to
gether with most Diseases peculiar to Fe
males.
Old and young, male and fomale, have beoa
greatly benefited by its use, as hundreds of
letters from all parts of the United States
will certify. Let those who are
quainted with McCutchion's “Cherokee I*,
dlan Bitters,” before saying this is too
much, try a bottle, and all who do ao will
unite in testifying that the half has not beea
told.
Cherokee Indian Bittere possesses an ener
gy which seems to communicate naw life to
the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting
powers of nature. Its operation upon the
tissues of the body does not consist in affect
ing the irritability of the living fibre, bat is
imparting a sound and healthy stimulus to
the Vital Organ*.
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 lifo.
There is no disease of any name or na
ture, whether of young or old, male or fa
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 ststbm j
with a degree of animation and desire for
food, which is perfectly astonishing to all
who porcoive it. This Medicine purifies the
blood, restores the tonic power of the fibres,
and of the stomach and digestive organs;
rouses the animal spirits, and substantially
fortifios and reanimates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
Indians are the most healthy of the human
race. They take an abundaee of physical
exercise, breathe pure air, and lire on eim*
pic diet. When sick, they use no mineral
poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plant*
“from the great drug store of their Cress*
tor.” MoCuTCHEoji’s "Cbiioxu lisui
Birrsas ” is a combination of these vegeta*
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 poe
scss in curing diseases, evinces to the world
that it is without a parallel in the hietory
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 kardy sons of Nature, whose original,
untutored minds, unshackled by the ferme
of science, are left free to pursue the dic
tates of reason, truth and oemmon sense.
Since the introduction of this remedy in
o the United States, thousauds have been
raised from beds of affliction whose liven
were despaired of by their physieians and
pronounced beyond the reach of medicine
McCutcheon’s “ Cherokee Bitters" ken
