WICKEDNF9H UPON WICKEDNESS.
Now, Father Jerome on Sunday
had preached ikg*>n upon the text:
“The di-pensat',GiH of Heaven are
wonderful.” And the little Marietta
thought: it will bring it also about
that I shall discover the invisible
Bender of the fl vweia. Father Je
rome w as never w long.
One summer night when it was
very warm, Marietta had awaked
early and could not sleep again.
Therefore she sprang joyfully from
her bed, as the first dawn flashed over
the wavea ofthe sea and over the
Lerinian islands towards the window
of the little chamber. Hhe dressed
herself and went out to bathe in the
cool waters ; she took her hat with
her to ramble a brief he ur ireside the
sea. Hhe knew' there a retired pliee
for bathing.
r Hut in order to reach the retired
place, one must go over the rooks
behind the house, and from there
again downward beside the pome
granite bushes and palms. This time
Marietta could not pass, for under the
youngest and slenderest of the palms
lay, in sweet sleep, a young and
Blender man—beside him a bunch of
the most beautiful flowers. Moreover,
a white strip of paper was distinctly
seen round it, upon which probably
again a sigh was breathed. How
could Marietta pass by ?
She remained standing and trem
bled from terror in all her limbs. She
wanted to go back to the cottage.
Scarcely had she gone back two steps
than she again looked toward the
Bleeper, and remained standing. Yet
from the distance she did not allow
herself to trust her sight. Now or
never was a mystery to bo solved.
Hhe tripped lightly nearer the palm
tree. But he appeared to stir. Now
she ran again toward the cottage.
Yet his movement was nothing but
the fearful imagination of Marietta.
Hhe now set out a t,v m upon her way
to the palm tree. Perhaps he only
feigned sleep. Hwiftly she ran for
safety toward the cottage. But who
will fly on account of a perhaps?
Hhe set out boldly on her way to the
palm tree.
By this wavering of her timid and i
lodging son I between fear and curi
osity, by this tripping backward and
forward between cottage and palm
tree, nevertheless, after ad, she had
come always a few steps nearer the
sleeper, w'hile also, at the same time,
euiiosity was more victorious than
fear.
“ What does he concern me? The
way leads me past him. Whether he
sleeps or wakes, I only go by.” So
thought Manon’s daughter. Yet she
went not by, but remained standing;
for you know one must look close in
to the face of the sender of the flow,
ers, in order to be certain of the ease.
Besides, he slept indeed ns if lie liad
had no sound slumber for four weeks. I
And who was it?—Now who should
it be but the arrant villian Colin?
It ha.l then been he who first out
of oid enmity bad caused the good
maiden so many deadly \e7ctions
with the pitcher, and had brought
her Into the disagreeable affair with
Mr. Hautinartin ; it had been he who
went there and teased her with the
flowers in order to torture her curios
ity. Why? He hated Marietta. He
conducted himself always in all com
pany towards the poor child in tiu
pardonable ways. Ho shunned her
where he could; and where he could
not, he grieved the pious little one.
Towards all other maidens of La
Napoule, he was more affable, more
friendly, more pleasant, than towards
Marietta. Only think! he had never
yet invited her to dance, and yet she
danced charmingly.
Now lay he there betrayed, caught.
In Marietta’s breast resentment
awoke. What harm could she do
him?—She took the bunch of flowers,
untied it, and contemptuously strew
ed, with righteous anger, his present
over the sleeper. Oniy the paper
upon which was again the sigh,
“ Dear Marietta,” she kept and stuck
it quick ly into her bosom. She wished
for future contingences, to preserve
this proof of his hand writing. Ma
rietta was cunning. Now she wished
to go. But her revenge appeared not
yet satisfied. She could not go away
from the place without punishing
Colin’s wickedness with something
like it. She tore from her hat the
violet colored silk ribbon and wound
it lightly around the sleeper’s arm
and arouud the tree, and tied Col’n
fast with three knots to the palm
tree. If now he awoae, hew must
he be astonished! how must curiosi
ty torture him, as to who could pos
sibly have played him this trick!
That he could not possibly discover.
So much the better. It terwd him
right.
Marietta was only too merciful to
wards him. She appeared to repent
her w r ork, w’hen she had con - um
mated it. Her breast heaved con
vulsively. I believe tears nme into
the eyes with which she looked all
too pitifully upon the criminal.
Slowly she went tack to the pome
gianite bushes beside the rick look
ing down to the palm i,*ee. Then
she hastened to Mother Mu non who
was calling.
tKE HAT BAND.
But yet, the same day, Colin prac
ticed new tiicks. V hot did he?
Openly he wished to shame the poor
Marietta. Ah ! she had not thought
that they would know her violet rib
bon in all Napoule! Colin knew it
only too well. He wound it proudly
arouud his hat and w ore it publicly
before all the wof'd as a trophy. And
every man and woman cried out:
“Hehas it from Marietta.” And
all the maidens cried out angrily:
“ The rascal!” and all the young
men who were in love with Marietta
cried out: “ The rascal!”
“How? Mother Manon?” cried
Judge Hautmartin as he came to
Manon, and he cried so loud that it
resounded wonderfully in his whole
nose. “ How? Do you suffer this ?
my affianced presents the young far
mer, Colin, with her liat band ? It
is iiigh time that we solemnize our
marriage. When that Is past, I have
also a right to speak.’ 7
“ You are right!” answered Mother
Manon. “If the affair stands this,
the marriage must be quickly. When
that is past, all i9 past.”
“ But Mother Manon, your daugh
ter si ill always reftu-es me her con
sent.”
“Only prepare the wedding break
fast.”
“ But she will not once look ou me
kindly; and if I sit down by her, the
little wild thing springs up and runs
aw'ay.”
“Sir Judge, only prepare the wed
ding breakfast.”
“ But if Marietta resists?”
“We will take her by surprise.
We go to Father Jerome. On Mon
day morning early and quietly he
shall perform the marriage ceremony.
We shall make him understand that,
never fear. lam the Mother. You
are the first magisterial person in La
Napoule. He must obey. Yet Ma
rietta ought to know nothing of it.
On Monday, early, I send her to
Father Jerome, all alone with an
errand from which she suspects noth
ing. Then shall the pastor exhort
her. A half hour after, we both
come. Then quickly to the altar.
And even if Marietta still cries ‘ no,’
what matters it? The old gentleman
can not hoar, you know’. But be
silent unti 1 then towards Marietta and
all La Napoule.”
This was the agreement between
the two. Marietta did not dream of
the good fortune in store for her.
Hhe thought only of the wickedness
of Colin who had made her the sub
ject of conversation in the whole
place. O, how she repented the indis
cretion with the ribbon! and yet in
her heart she forgave the wicked one
his guilt. Marietta was much too
good. She said to her mother, she said
to all her companions: “Colin has
found my hat band. I did not give
it to him. Now he will vex me with
it. You know Colin has always been
unfriendly to me, and has always
sought where he could annoy me.”
Ah ! the poor child ! she knew not
upon what new atrocity the malicious
man was again thinkipg.

Will RAILROAD ACCIDENTS DON’T HAP
PEN IN GERMANY.
That most railway accidents, and
especially those which are the result
of collision, can be avoided l>v proper
care and foresight is undeniable.
This is shown by the comparative ex
emption from accident which some
railroads in this country, conducted
on proper principles, enjoy. Even in
regard to the breaking of a rail, as in
the Lehigh accident, w hich the coro
ner’s jury in that case treats as an
“ unforeseen and unavoidable” thing,
it is said that in Germany an acci
dent lias never occurred from the
breaking of rails. The New York
Evening Post says that not a person
in that country has last his life nor a
person been mutilated from this
cause in all the thirty and more years
that steam carriages have been run
ning on iron ways. The reason is
plain. It is determined by scientific
experiment how long iron will resist,
on the average, the beating of wheels,
and then the law requires the railroad
companies to put down new rails pe
riodically, whether those in use ex
hibit signs of weakness or not. While
this involves expense, it is so man
aged as to be gradually distributed
over a period of years, a small part of
the road being renewed each year
until Hie whole is completed w ithin
the given time. Here, on the con
trary, upon many railways lines,
little attention is given to the selec
tion of rails, and less to their renew'al
at certain peiiods. Few’ companies
incur the expense of substituting
steel for iron rails, though the former
bre far more durable. In like man
ner the same false economy in all
that would give increased security to
the public is one of the chief causes
of the frightful perils of railway
traveling.
THE CROW.
Henry Ward Beecher says of
crows: “Aside from the special
questions of profit and loss, we have
a warm side toward the crow, he is
so much like one of ourselves. lie is
lazy, and that is human; he takes
advantage of those weaker than him
self, and that is manlike; he is sly,
and hides for to-morrow what he
can’t eat to-day, showing a real hu
man providence; he learns tricks
much faster than he does useful
things, showing a true boy-nature;
he likes his ow n color best, and loves
to hear his voice, which are eminent
traits of humanity; he will never
work when he can get another to
work for him, a genuine human trait;
he eats whatever he can get his elaw’s
upon, and is less mischievous with a
beUy full than when hungry, and
that is like man; he is at war with
all living things except his own
kind, and with them lie lias nothing
to do. No wonder, then, that men
despise crows, they are too much like
men. Take off his wings, and put
him in breeches, crow’s would make
fair average men. Give men wings
and reduce their smartness a little,
and many of them would be good
enough to be crows.”
1 MODEST lOIKG MAN.
A young lady recently stepped in
to a fancy dry goods store aim called
for a pair of stockings, addressing
herself to a nice little specimen of
imperial spot and moustached lip,
that stood behind the counter.
“ Haven’t any article of that name,
Miss, but we have some beautiful
hose of silk and Lama’s hair—which
do you prefer, and what color do you
admire? “ Young gentleman,” she
replied, “ I called for a pair of stock
ings ! I )nean what I sag , and if this
shocks your modesty, you will ex
cuse me. I know a tow’-headed fel
low over the way who will sell me a
pair of stockings,” and with this re
mark she left the young embodiment
of starch, hair ami ramrods, to re
cover at his leisure from the shock
given to his modesty by this exces
sively vulgar young lady.
The California Farmer sums up a
few’ reasons why some people are
always poor, as follows: “ Cream is
allowed to mould and spoil. Silver
spoons are used to scrape kettles.
The serubbing-bru«h is left in the
water. Nice-handled knives are
thrown in hot water. Brooms are
never hung up, and soon are spoiled.
Dish-clothes are thrown w r here mice
can destroy them. Tubs and barrels
are left in the sun to dry and fall
apart. Clothes are left on the line to
1 • * pieces in the wind, Piecrust
! is left to sour instead of making a few
tarts for tea. Dried fruit is not taken
care of in season, and becomes wormy.
A egetables are throw’n away that
would warm for breakfast. Tnecork
is left out of the molasses jug, and the
flies take possession. Bits of meat
are thrown out that would make
hashed meat or hash. Coffee, tea,
pepper and spices are left to stand
open and loose their strength. Pork
spoils for the want of salt, from float
ing on the top of the brine, and
because the brine wants scalding.”
Beer fills many a bottle, and the
bottle many a bier.

WHERE LUBRICATION IS PERFORM
ED.
Washington, January 27, 1872.—A
funny scene occurred in the F street
ears here, a day or two ago. This
line of ears communicates with the
best anti most fashionable part of the
city, and is patronized by a better
class of passengers than the other
lines. The track runs close beside the
Senate wing of the Capitol.
I must say, to start with, what
everybody who has been to Washing
ton probably knows, already, that the
Senate has its restaurant* and the
House has its restaurant. These are
necessary, for Congressmen are awful
eaten*, and one restaurant would not
l>e large enough to accommodate them
Besides, it would not be exactly prop
er for a member of the House to sit
at the same table with the grave and
dignified Senator. Think of our friend
Snapp, of Joliet, Illinois, presuming
to sit down with Itoseoe Conkiing.
There would be spontaneous combus
tion on the part of Conkiing at the
instant. Conkiing cannot endure ple
beians. Not a great while ago, he had
the man w’ho takes care of his com
mittee-room at the Capital discharged
because he washed his hands in the
ruining water of the w’ashstand, and
the man Is spoken of as having been
very clean and tidy in his appearance.
SENATORIAL DRINKS.
If the Senators and members have
their separate eating places, of course
you will see that they must have their
separate drinking places, for Congress
men are great drinkers as w’ell as eat
ers; and they have their separate
place. Just across the street from the
northeast comer of the Senate wing
is Whitney's, which has been a noted
drinking house for more years than I
can remember. Here the Senators go
for inspiration and patience during
the long set speeches of Garrett Davis
and Thujman. I don’t pretend to
know which one goes there for drinks,
but I know a good many do, for the
house is well patronized. For aught
I know, Cameron, and Chandler, and
Edmunds, and Stockton, and Carpen
ter, and Xye, and Spencer, and Ram
sey, and indeed all the rest of them,
go there, except Morton and Brown
low, who are fame, and Henry Wil
son and the Vice President, who are
teetotalers. Across the street from
the southeast corner of the House wing
of the Capitol is Sanderson’s, another
noted drinking place.
REPRESENTATIVE DRINKS.
This is where the members of the
House get rid of the foul atmosphere
which perv’sides their hall. The
House being composed of 243 mem
bers and the Senate only 73, (North
Carolina having but one Senator at
this time,) it will be readily seen that
the House requires greater accommo
dations. Not that the House can
beat the Senate in the more matter of
guzzling intoxicating beverages,
counting man for man, (a thing hard
to do, I can tell you,) but the House
overtops them in numbers by sheer
physical superiority. In the mere
matter of walking off with a large
quantity of whisky, I think there are
men in the Senate who cannot he sur
passed outside of Cincinnati; but that
is neither here nor there. Owing to
the superior numbers, the House
drinkers require additional room.
There are, therefore, two drinking
places for the House—Sanderson’s
and the Casparis. Which place is the
better place I cannot tell. Each one
can present a long list of very respec
table references.
The newspaper men are much like
Senators; they don’t like to accociate
with members, so they go to Whit
ney’s. Ido not volunteer to tell who
the quill drivers are who go to Whit
ney’s, for their occupation often takes
them into strange company, but
among them who are sharp for get
ting news are White, Boynton,
Crounce, Paniter, Kauffmann, Shaw
and Knowlton, but I do not say they
frequent Whitney’s—by no means.

Waterman, of the Perry Home
Journal, is a consistent member of a
debating society. At a late meeting
of the organization, the question w as
as to whether Georgia or Texas offer
the greater advantages. After suffer
ing the discussion to go on for some
time, Waterman rose in his place,
frowned at the chairman and said:
“ Mr. President—The gentlemen tell
us of the advantages Texas offers, but
in my opinion she has more disadvan
tages than advantages. Any man
will be ruined who goes to Texas. I
will give you some facts, sir, to prove
it. 1 knew’ a man once who lived in
Georgia—a young man, sir, full of
promise, who had hair on his teeth.
This was a source of revenue to him.
It grew’ spontaneously and he made
mattresses of it. But, sir, he w’ent to
Texas, and after he had been there a
few months the only way he could
get hair on his teeth was te comb his
eye-brow’s into his mouth, or bite a
dog. That is the way Texas reduced
him.” The chairman repressed a sigh
as he snuffed the candle with his hat,
and the meeting stood adjourned.
We are authorized to announce that
Texas will never receive any more

DEESB-11D6.
The Rev. Lord Syndey Godolphin
Osborne is responsible for the coinage
of this word—“dress ards.” In a
pamphlet entitled, “Stray Thoughts
on Subjects connected with the Work
of the Established Church, which
may be worthy of some consideration
at a Synodical Conference,” dedi
cated to the Bishop of Salisbury, his
Lordship says:
“ There are those who think—l am
not sure that I am not one of them—
that extravagance in dress is doing
religion more harm than even intem
perance. The drunkards don’t come
to church drunk; the dress-ards do
come there, and the intoxication of
attire is never more obtrusive than
on God’s day, in God’s hoase. One
drunkard makes many; but his stage
the scene of his vice, is the beer-shop,
the public hoase. The dress-ards
have a far wider example field—alas,
far more exam ple-£arce. The church
walls inclose tne area of their great j
display. Drunkards blaspheme in
the Scottish bravery of their inebri
ation ; the devotee of fashion prays in
the costume the world’s fashion is j
held to make imperative—combines I
the act of devotion with the most 1
flagrant exhibition of vanity—com
bines the profession of a miserable
sinner with the clear exposure of a :
very gross appetite for that outward
adorning of the body so altogether
inconsistent with the humiliation of
the soul.
“No Jeuner has yet arisen to find
any vaccination process by which
mankind can be protected from
dress-contagion, can even be secured
a mild infliction of it. It would seem
to those who occupy pulpits in all
places, amongst all peoples, ali sects
and denominations, that the very
gospel is powerless against fashion.
Let but the great man-milliner,
Worthiley, clothe a few' of the hand
somest of foul-trading women in Paris
in some new costume, how’ever out
rageous as an insult to modesty, or as
destructive of all grace, the Paris
W’orld adopts it—the English w’orld
follow’s it, and w'ithin a few' weeks
the congregational pasture is in its
fullest blossom.
“ May it not be well fora Synodical
Conference to consider also liow far
the teaching of girls, little and big,
to avoid the pomps and vanities of
the world, can have much effect, when
the ladies who teach are to them
beautiful spectacles for open-mouth
wonder, in the extreme eccentricity
of their fashionedrul uniform ? There
was a time when the parson could
just keep out artificial flowers from
the Sunday-school; it is many years
since he had any pow'er over long hair
and curls; in the present day he has
to witness and patiently endure that
cerebral fungus, the chignon, in every
possible measure of vulgar disfigure
ment. He may as well shut up school
altogether as attempt to forbid it.
What Bishop is there, w'ho, after a
long confirmation tour, can truly say
he has laid his hands on as many
female heads as he can count on his
fingers?”
SPRINGING OIT OF BED.
Dr. Hall does not approve of the
oldfashion doctrine which w'as form
erly instilled into the minds of child
ren—that they should spring out of
bed the instant they awake in the
morning. He says that “up to
eighteen years every child should
be allowed ten hours, sleep, but time
should be allowed to rest in bed, after
the sleep is over, until they feel as if
they had rather get up than not. It
is a very great and mischievous
mistake for persons, old or young—
especaliy children and feeble, or
sedentary persons—to bounce out of
bed tite moment they wake up; all
our instincts shrink from it, and
fiercely kick against it, Fifteen or
twenty minutes spent in gradually
waking up, after the eyes are opened
and in tumning over and stretching
the limbs, do as much good as sound
sleep, because these operations set the
blood in motion by degrees, tending
to equalize the circulation; for during
sleep, the blood tends to stagnation,
the heart beats feebly and slowly;
and to shock the system by bouncing
up in an instant and sending the
blood in overwhelming quantities to
the heart, causing it to assume a
gallop, when the instant before it was
in a creep, is the greatest absurdity.
This instantaneous bouncing out of
the bed as soon as the eyes are open
will be follow’ed by weariness long
before noon.”

The death of Rev. Dr. Robert J.
Breekenridge reminds us of an amus
ing incident in his life, which we
believe has never been printed. Some
member of the presbytery—a count ry
brother—complained that the city
clergymen dressed too well, and thus
made undue distinction between
themselves and their country breth
ren. Dr. Breekenridge, always ready
for debate, straightened his tall, lithe
form up, and indignantly denied the
charge.” In a burst of eloquent an
ger he declared that he was ready to
change clothes with any brother on
that floor. In an instant a short, fat
brother—as broad as long—waddled
into the aisle, and called out wheezily
“Mr. Moderator, I’m his man The
vision of Dr. Breckon ridge’s arms
and legs protruding from the baggy
clothes of the other, upset the dignity
of the presbytery, and spoiled the
eloquence of the speaker.

Croakers.— ln our pereginations
through town we have met many of
the above mentioned class, and a
most disagreeable class it is, too. The
term “croakers” is a very apt one,
and expresses its meaning most intel
ligibly upon Jthe very face. On a
calm summer’s evening, just at twi
light, one may alwajjpi hear, in t!se
vicinity of a still, stagnant pool, the
invariable croaking of numberless
hoarse, long winded frogs. There
they sit, on their haupches, great,
pursy, big-bellied fellow's, swelling
out their huge throats, and croaking
by the hour. So it is with that class
of individuals yclept croakers. They
are always predicting disaster, and
yet never doing anything to avert it
except to sit inactively and croak,
croak, moaning over the tightness of
the money market, the dullness qf
the times, and all those other hun
dred ills that flesh is heir to. There Is
many a croaker in Augusta. One
would judge from the frequency and
dolefulness of their croaks that in
this region it w'as always twilight,
our beautiful city the hugest kind of
a frog-pond and its citizens generally
a community of big-voiced frogs.
Now this ought not to be. Augusta
is known everywhere except at
home, as one of the most charming,
healthful, promising inland cities in
the South, w ith its fine canal afford
ing excellent facilities) for manufac
turing purposes, its river for naviga
tion and its railroad for land trans
portation, with its beautiful climate,
its intelligent, cultivated people, it
has every advantage on its side and
ought to come out in the very van of
the race for prosperity and advance
ment, and it will too, if its citizens
w'ould not be so apprehensive of fail
ure, so doubtful of success. “Think
well of yourself or no one will think
well of you,” is a good old adage.

Avery good widow, who was look

She ran the man out of the back door
and put the bottle under the bed.
The weather w r as hot, and while con

w’ent a cork. “Dear Me!” exclaimed
the good lady, “there goes the cord;

must have another rope provided.”
In a few’ minutes pop went another,
followed by the peculiar hiss of es
caping liquor. The rope w 'Mild not
do again : but the good lady w r as not
at a loss. “Dear me!” said she, “that
black cat of mine must be at some
mischief under there. Scat!” An
other bottle popped off, and the por
ter came stealing out from under the
bed curtain. “O, dear me!” she said’
“ I had forgotten; it is my yeast!’;
Here, Prudence, come and take these
bottles of yeast aw’ay!”

MAXIMS FOR FARMER*!
The following good maxims are
wall worth preserving for constant
reference:
1. Only good farming pays. He
who sows without a reasonable assur
ance of good crops, annually, might
better earn wages of some capable
neighbor than work for so poor a pay
master as he is certain to prove him
self.
2. The good farmer is proved sucli
by the steady appreciation of his crops.
Any one may reap an ample harvest
from a fertile virgin soil; the good
fanner alone grows good crops at
first, and better and better afterward.
3. It is far easier to maintain the
productive capacity of a farm than to
restore it. To exhaust its fecundity,
and then attempt its restoration In
buying costly commercial fertilizers,
is wasteful and irrational.
4. The good farmer sells mainly
such products as are at least exhaus
tive. Necessity may constrain him,
for the first year or two, to sell grain,
or even hay, but he will soon send off
his surplus mainly in cotton, or wool,
or meat, or butter and cheese, or
something else that return to the soil
nearly ail that is taken from it. A
bank account daily drawn upon,
while nothing is deposited to its cred
it, must soon respond “ no funds.” So
with a farm similarly treated.
ht 5. Rotation is at least negative fer
tilization. It may not positively en
rich a farm ; it will at least retard
and postpone its impoverishment.
He who grows wheat after wheat,
corn after corn, for twenty years, will
new! to emigrate before the term is
fuelled. The same farm cannot sup
port—or endure—him longer than
that. All our wheat growing sec
tions of fifty years ago are wheat grow
ing no longer; while England grows
larger crops thereof on the very fields
that fed the armies of Saxion Harold
and William the Conqueror. Rota
tion has preserved these as the lack of
it has ruined those.
6. Wisdom is never dear, provided
the article be genuine. 1 have known
farmers who toiled constantly from
daybreak to dark yet died poor, be
cause through * ignorance, they
wrought to disadvantage. If every
farmer would devote two hours op
each day to reading and reflection',
there would be fewer failures in farm
ing than there are at present.
7. The best investments a farmer
can make for his children is that
which surrounds their youths with
the rational delights of a beauteous,
attractive home. The dwelling may
be small and rude, yet a few flowers
will enrich and gladden it; while
grass and shade are within reach of
the humblest. Hardly any labor
done on a farm is so profitable as that
which makes the wife and children
fond and proud of their home.
8. A good practical education, in
cluding a good trade, is a better outfit
for a youth than a grand estate with
the drawback" of an empty mind.
Many parents have slaved and pinch
ed to leave their children rich, when
half the suuiythus lavished would
have profited them far more had it
been devoted to the education of their
minds, the enlargement of their ca
pacity to think,* observe and work.
The one structure that no neighbor
hood can afford to do without is the
school house.
9. A small library of well selected
books in his home has saved many a
youth from wandering into the bane
ful ways of the prodigal son. Where
the parental strictness and severely
would have bred nothing but dislike
and a fixed resolution to abscond at
the first opportunity, good book and
pleasant surroundings have weaned
many a youth from his first wild im
pulse to go to sea or cross the conti
nent, and made him a docile, conten
ted, obedient, happy lingerer by the
parental fireside. In a family, how
ever rich or poor, no other food is so
cheap or so precious as thoughtful,
watchful love.
10. Most men are born poor, but no
man, who has average capacities and
tolerable luck, need remain so. And
the farmer’s calling, though proffer
ing no sudden leaps, no ready short
cuts to opulence, is the surest of all
ways from poverty and want to com
fort and independence. Other men
must climb; the temperate, frugal,
diligent, provident farmer may grow
into competency and every accessory
to eternal happiness. Each year of
his devotion to his homestead may
find it more valuable, more attractive
than the last, and leaves it better
still.
GRASS SEED—UOW MICH TO SOW PER
ACRE.
As the number of pounds in a bush
el of seed varies in different States
(says the Working Farmer), I shall
designate the amount to be sowed by
quarts, instead of pounds, there being
thirty-two quarts in a bushel in every
State. Grass seeds of some kinds may
be sown too thickly, although this is
seldom done. Bed clover may be
sown too thick for producing a good
yield of seed, as there will only be
about so many spears of grass flour
ish, even when the seed is sowed in
great abundance. When the seed is
applied so abundantly that there is
not room for a spear to grow from
every kernel, a portion of the young
grass dies, the strongest spears' over
powering the feebler ones, and main
taining the pre-eminence over them.
Seed should always be sown thicker
for pasture than is necessary for mead
ow, whether it is to be cut‘for seed or
bay. If the soil is very lumpy, and
not very fertile, twice as much seed
is necessary per acre, as will be need
ful when the surface is mellow, free
from lumps, and covered with a fine
vegetable mould. I will state the
proper quantity for general seeding,
which may be varied to suit the qual
ity of the soil, or for meadows and
pastures.
Three quarts of timothy, sixteen of
orchard grass, and twelve of Ketueky
blue grass will seed any acre of ground
well.
When early red clover and orchard
grass are sowed together, four quarts
of the former and sixteen quarts of
the latter w ill be sufficient, if the soil
is not too poor to produce one and a
half tons per acre.
When it is desired to sow nothing
but red clover, either early or late
six to eight quarts per acre will seed
the ground well, if sowed evenly.
When orchard grass only is sowed
not less than two bushels will be
found sufficient for one acre, as the
seeds are large. Better sow three
bushels per acre, than less than two.
Kentucky blue grass seed being
bulky, and the plants inclined to
spread rapidly, one and a half bushels
per acre will be found sufficient, if
the soil is mellow and in a good state
of fertility'.
Mock Mince Pie.—Four cups
bread crumbs or apples, three eggs
one-half pound raisins, one-half pound
currants, one cup of vinegar, one cup
sugar, one cup molasses, one tea
spoon soda, four cups w ater ; spice to
taste. Try it.
Tainted Meat.— Last summer
some chickens, during the very warm
weather became slightly tainted. I
staffed them with freshly heated
charcoal, and in twelve hours they
were as sweet and fresh as could be
desired, not leaving the least disa
greeable odor or flavor. Shortly after
on examining fresh pieces of pork’
and fearing that they could not be
preserved until it was convenient to
cook them, I packed them in a pan of
powdered charcoal, and thus kept
them with complete success.

| Pkei'arp for Planting Irish
i Potatoes During the present
i month of February potatoes should be
I planted for an early crop. The proper
time for preparing the ground is in
this month. Break up the ground at
least a foot in depth with the plow or
spade. This exposure of soil to the
frosts of this month will destroy the
grub worms that are often destructive
to this crop in the spring. In Febru
ary open furrows with the plow or
spade at least ten inches deep, into
which put three of manure, which
may he fresh from the stable or cou
pon, if no other boon hand. Put two
or three inches of soil on top of the
manure, when the trenches will be
ready for tubers. Fill up the trenches
and make a low ridge on the top of
the potatoes, which will give seven
or eight inches of soil to protect them
from freezing. If the Early Rose bo
the variety planted, they will ripen
from the fast of May to the middle of
Juno, when they may be immediately
planted for a second orop.—iJnred
Southerner.
Economy of the Farm.—Farmers
grew rich by saving, and others grow
rich by spending. Others have first
to make the money, and then spend
it for food. The wants of a farmer are
few that cannot be supplied from his
farm. Why, thou, should the farmer
repine because he has not money to
buy a board, or measures his wealth
■ by comparing that of other who must
| give all for tilings which he lias with
i out buying.
Herein lays the secret of a farmer’s
j success: In raising everything as far
j as possible, on the farm, and buying
j as little as he possibly eau.
Nor is this mistake the only one
made by farmers. They all want too
I much land, and too much stock for
: their land. Remember that fifty acres
actually worth one hundred dollars
: per acre, is worth more than one hun
dred acres at fifty dollars per acre;
i because one half the work expended
i on the first will raise as much as the
whole amount expended on one hun
dred 1 acres. It is the same way with
; stoyk. It is better to fatten five head
of steers well than ten only half done,
1 because they will sell for * more, and
ybu will also save the-interest on one
half the investment.

The Partridge the Agricultu
rist’s Friend. —At a meeting of hor
ticulturists in Illinois strong ground
was taken against the destruction of
the birds. To show how useful the
bird is it was stated that a flock of
partridges were seen running along
the rows of corn just spouting, and
seeing them engaged m something
w’hich w’as believed to be pulling up
the young plants, one of them was
killed and its “ crop” examined,
w hich was found to contain one cut
worm, 21 striped bugs, and over 100
chinch bugs. Another member relat
ed that he had adopted measures to
protect the bird, and that they had
become so numerous and tame that
hundreds of them, after snow’ falls
could be seen In his barnyard w’ith
the fowls, w’here they w’ere fed. Asa
result of their presence upon his prem
ises his wheat crop was unusually
abundant, w'hile in many other places
not far off the chinch bug and other
insects had destroyed half the crop.
ISEFI L RECIPES.
It is worth while to know how to
stop bleeding from the nose when it
becomes excessive. If the finger is
pressed firmly upon the little artery
which supplies blood to the side of the
face effected, the result is accomplish
ed. Two small arteries, branching up
from the main arteries on each side
of the neck, and passing over the out
side of the jaw bone, supply the face
with blood. If the nose bleeds from
the right nostril, for example, pass
the finger along the edge of the right
jaw till the beating of the artery is
felt. Press hard upon it, and the
bleeding will cease. Continue the
pressure five minutes, until the rup
tured vessel in the nose has time to
contract. —Knoxville Chronicle.
Cornmeal Pudding.— Although
simple, it is yet very peiatable. Stir
into a quart of boiling milk, the yolks
of two eggs, three heaping spoonfuls
of meal and a half a cup of sugar, w'ell
beaten together. Cook five minutes,
stirring constantly ; remove from the
fire, and add the whites, beaten to a
stiff froth. Pour into a pudding dish,
and bake one hour in a moderate oven.
Serve with cream and sugar.
A Good Breakfast Disit.— Four
eggs, three-quarters pint new milk,
and a piece of butter the size of a wal
nut ; salt and pepper to suit the taste.
Beat the eggs, add the milk and but
ter, and pour all together into a hot
frying-pan containing half a spoonful
of fryings. Stir constantly for three
or four minutes, when it will be ready
for the table. Quite a nice flavor is
obtained by making it after frying
ham or fresh sausages.
Cheap Pumpkin Pie. —Stew your
pumpkin and mash through the' col
ander; and for three pies, take one
pint of milk, one-half pound sugar,
three teaspoonfuls flour, spice to taste.
As eggs-are so high in winter, I call
this an economical recipe, and hope
our lady readers will be pleased with
it.
A Good Pudding. —Take a piece
of beef and chip it fine, take some on
ions and chip them fine, season with
pepper and salt, grate some hard
bread, mix them together with the
white of an egg, make balls, then dip
them into the yolk of the eggs and
fry them in butter; lard will do, but
butter is better.
Quick Muffins. —Two teacups of
buttermilk, one of thick cream, or if
none, three even teaspoonfuls of melt
ed butter, four eggs, half a teaspoon
ful of soda; thicken with prepared
flour as thick as waffles.
This recipe w ill make enough for
six or eight persons, and in these times
when eggs are so scarce and are sold
at such exorbitant prices, it is quite
an economical dish, as it will often
answer in their stead.
Soda Biscuit.—One pint of rich
buttermilk, one spoonful lard, one
teaspoon salt, one teaspoon soda, and
as much flour as you can stir in well
with a spoon. Bake in little patty
pans.
Soft Gingerbread. —Onecup mo
lasses, one cup sour cream, one egg,
one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful i
ginger, flour to make a pretty stiff
batter
BRIGHT ASO DILKE.
An English correspondent of the
New A ork Mail thus describes John
Bright and Sir Charles Dilke, the tw'o
most noted men of the British Parlia
ment:
“John Bright, who is a man of
some fifty-seven or eight, of bulky
figure, bare-head, broad, massive
forehead anil firm mouth, with some
what thick lips, around w hich is odd
ly blended of humor, decision and
sweetness; a quick, restless eye, glanc
ing hither and thither, a round chin
and white hair, dressed very plainly
in a rather shabby over-coat, a neck
tie of careless antiquity, and perhaps
a pair of cotton gloves'.
14 Sir Charles Dilke, the Republican
baronet, a much younger man, prob
ably the youngest man of the House
of Commons. He is tall and some
what stiff, with square forehead and
well-set jaw, suggestive of strong and
obstinate resolve. He is rather hand
aome? bnt a good deal stolid—in
pression I mean—and with a certain
formal and heavy way about him
which tells of dogmatism and dissent.
He is well dressed, and is conscious of
being an object of curiosity.

CAR.TERSVILLE
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
We, the subscribers, will commence our ex
ercises in the above Institute, on the
SECOND MONDAY INJANUARY, 1872.
There will be three departments in this In
stitution, viz: Scholastic. Academic, and Col
legiate, thereby enabling the citizens of Car
te rsville, and tne adjacent country, to enjoy the
privilege of giving their children a complete
and thorough education, which, heretofore, they
have been compelled to s< ak 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 voutTi who may be
entrusted to our charge, for all tlie walks, either
of private or of public 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 lel
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 fill.
This Institution will consist of Male and Fe
male scholars, giving girls here a chance to
prepare themselves either for teachers or for
business stations in lifts thus enabling them to
make an independent living.
The tuition will be from S2OO to SSOO per
month, according to grade, parable monthly.
The government of this institution will be
mild, but firm. As order is the first law of na
ture, so children must, and will, be goveracd,
that are entrusted to our care.
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
w ill be tolerated in this Institution, our rules
are simply obedience and hard study ; and if
parents or guardians will give us their co-op
erat»on, they will be sure to get the worth of
their money. W e intend to have our Institution
incorporated, so as to confer degrees.

McCUTCH EON’S
CHEROKEE INDIAN BITTERS.
This highly valuable Indian Remedy it
too well known, whenever it has been used,
to require special notice.
Those who are unacquainted with its wou
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, Liver Com
plaint, Ague-Cake Dyseutery ami other
complaints. It warms the stomach and
bowels; cures Colic an 1 Obstructions of the
Breast; sustains excessive labor of b >ih bo
dy and mind; cures the Piles, promotes the
Appetite, assists Digestion: prevenis un
pleasant dreams and frights: strengthens the
judgment; cures Nervous, Asthmetical and
Hysterical Affections; removes all the dis
orders of weakues and debility ; purifies the
Blood; cures Neuralgia and Disj'iq.sia, to
gether with most Diseases peculiar to Fe
males.
Old and young, male aud female, have been
greatly benefitted by its use, as hundreds of
letters from all parts of the United States
will certify. Let those who are unac
quainted with McCutchkon’s “Cherokee In
dian Bitters,'’ before saying this is too
much, try a bottle, and all who uo so will
unite in testifying that the half has not been
told.
Cherokee Indian Bitters possesses an ener
gy which seems to communicate new life to
the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting
powers of nature. Its operation upon the
tissues of the body does not consist in affeet
ing the irritability of the living fibre, but in
imparting a souud aud healthy stimulus to
the Vital Organs.
It strengthens substantially and durably
the living powers of the animal machine; it
entirely innocent and harmless; may head
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 : ater 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 u heal
thy action is often in the worst case restor
ed to the exhausted organs of the systbh ;
with a degree of animation and desire for
food, which is perfectly astonishing to all
who perceive it. This Medicine purifies the
blood, restores the tonic power of the fibres,
and of the stomach aud digestive organs;
rouses the animal spirits, and substantially
fortifies and reanimates the broken down
constitutions of mankiud.
Indians are the most healthy of the human
race. They take an abundace of physical
exercise, breathe pure air, and live on sim
ple diet. When sick, they use no mineral
poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plants
“from the great drug store of their Crea
tor.” McCutcheon’s “ Cherokee Indian
Bitters” is a combinaiion 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 pos
sess in curing diseases, evinces to the world
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 sons of Nature, whose original,
untutored minds, unshackled by the forma
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 Inited States, thousands have been
raised from beds of affliction wbose lives
were despaired of by their physicians and
pronounced beyond the reach of medicine
McCutcheon’s “ Cherokee Bittera ” has
driven the most popular medicines of every
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, have all been greatly benefited 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 are not
only from persons who have been cared by
it, but also from some of the most eminent
physicians and druggist who have success
fully tested it in their practice, and volun
tarily offer their testimonials in its favor

Special Notice.— Merchants’and drug
gists doing business at a distanoe from the
railroad, when ordering my “ Cherokee In
dian Bitters,” will please state the depot to
which they have their goods Bhipped, by
so doing, I can sometimes supply their
wants much earlier.
