THE BROKEN PITCHER.
TRASSLATKI) FROM THE GERMAN.
rv Mist L. MOOS.
COKUMS.
WON DERFUI. DISPENSATIONS.
Colin rtxic the name tiny to Grasse
to the* High Bailiff. an<l returned
early on the following morning. But
Mr. Haut martin only laughed at that
and reasoned away the mistrust of I
Mother Manon, anti swore he would
let his nose be cut otr if Colin were
not obliged to pay three hundred
livres for tlie broken piteher. He
also went with Mother Manon to
Father Jerome to see a Unit the mar
riage ceremony, and impressed it
upon him to place before Marietta
earnestly her duty us an obedient
daughter not to oppose the marriage
and the will of her mother. The old
gentleman promised this, although
he only understood half of all that
was screamed into his ear.
But Marietta took the broken pitch
er into her chamber and held it dear
er than ever, and it was to her as if
Paradise hail entered her breast, since
it was destroy<dupon the pitcher.
When now Monday morning came, j
Mother Manon sjtoki* to her daugh
ter: “ Dress yourself well, and carry
this myrtle-wreath to Father Jerome; I
he wishes it for a bride.”
Marietta dressed herself in her Sun- !
day clothes, took without suspicion
the myrtle wreath, and bore it to
Father Jerome.
On the way Colin met her, and
greeted her in a friendly and timid
manner; and as she mentioned where
she was carrying the wreath, Colin
said : “ I am going the same way, for
I must carry the pastor the money
for church tithes.” As they both
went, he silently took her hand; then !
both trembled ns if they had to
wards each other a great crime upon
their consciences.
“Have you forgiven me?” whis
pered Colin anxiously. “Ah! Mari
etta, what have I done that you are
so cruel towards me?”
But she could say nothing, except
“Only be quiet, Colin; you shall
have the ribbon again. And I will
keep your pitcher. It really came
from you ?”
“ Marietta, can you doubt? See,
would I might give you all I have.
Will you be friendly with me in fu
ture like others?”
She answered not. But as she
stepped into the parsonage, she
glanced at him sidewise, and when
she saw his beautiful eyes moist, she
whispered to him: “ Dear Colin !”
Then he bent and kissed her hand.
Then the door of a chamber opened,
and Father Jerome, with his vener
able mien, stood before them. The
young people were as if dizzy, for
they held fast to each other. I know
not; was that the effect of the hand
kissing, or of reverence for the old
man ?
Then Marietta handed him the j
wreath of myrtle. He placed i< on
her head and spoke: “Little ehil-i
dreti, love one another!” and now he
exhorted the good maiden, in the
most affecting and stirring terms, to
love Colin. For the old gentleman,
on account of his deafness, had mis
taken the name of the bridegroom,
or, on account of his old memory,
had forgot ton, and thought Colin
must be the bridegroom.
Then Marietta’s heart broke under
the exhortation of the old man, and
with tears and sobs she cried: “Ah !
I have long loved him, but lie hates
me.”
“ I hate you, Marietta?” cried
Colin. “My soul lives only in you;
since you came to La Napoule. O, j
Marietta, how could I hope and be
lieve that you loved me? Does not
all La Napoule adore you ?”
“ Why did you flee from me, Colin,
and prefer all my companions to
me?”
“0, Marietta, I perished in fear
and trembling, in sorrow and love,
if 1 saw you. 1 had not the courage
to Ik' near you; and if 1 was not near
you, 1 was still more unhappy.”
As they talked thus, the g<K>d
Father thought they were quarreling,
lie placed his arms around both,
drew them together, and spoke im
ploringly: “Little children, little
children, love one another!”
Then sank Marietta on Colin’s
breast, and Colin threw both arms
around her, and the countenances of
both beamed in silent rapture. They
forgot the pastor, the whole world.
Colin’s lip hung on Marietta’s sweet j
mouth. It is true, it was only a kiss, :
but truly a kiss of the most delicious ■
forgetfulness. Both were lost in each
other. Both had so far lost their
consciousness, that they, without
knowing it, followed the delighted
Father Jerome into the church and
before the altar.
“ Marietta!” sighed he.
“ Colin 1” sighed she.
In th * church many devout ones
were praying; but with astonishment
were they witnesses of Colin and Ma
rietta's marriage. Many ran out be
fore the completion of the ceremony,
to announce right and left in La Xa
poule:
“ Colin and Marietta are married.”
When the ceremony was complet
ed, Father Jerome rejoiced honestly
that he had succeeded so well and
had met so little opposition from the
bride and bridegroom. He led them
into the parsonage.
END OF THIS RK.MAUK.VHLE STORY.
Then came Mother Manon breath
less. She had waited long at home
for the coming of the bride-groom.
He had not come. With the last
stroke of the clock, anxiety had driv
en her forth, and she set out on the
way to Mr. Hautmartin’s. But there
anew horror had overtaken her.
She learned that the High Bailiff had
appeared with the police officers, had
examined the Judge’s accounts,
money-lvoxes, and records; then had
had Mr. Hautmartin arrested in the
same hour.
“Certainly the wicked Colin has
brought this about!” was her thought .
Now she had gone hastily to the par
sonage, to apologize to Father Je
rome for the delay of the ceremony.
Then, with the newly wedded pair on
his arms, the good old man, smiling,
and with pride in his work, stepped
to her.
j Now, in real earnest, Mrs. Manon
los! thought and sp< ch, ok she com
; prehended what had taken place.
But Colin had more thought and
, speech now than in his whole life
before. He began with his love and
passed on to speak of the broken
pitcher, and of the Judge’s falsehood,
; and how he had unmasked this i
criminal in the police court at Grasse.
Then he besought Mother Manon’s
blessing because this had now taken
place without any fault of Marietta
or himself.
Father Jerome, who for a long
time did not understand what had
happened, when he received the full
' explanation of the marriage by mis
take, folded iiis hands piously, and
exclaimed with uplifted look:
“ Wonderful are the dispensations of
Heaven J” Colin and Marietta kissed
his hands; Mother Manon, out of
mere reverence for Heaven, gave the
young married couple her blosssing,
but remarked at the some time that
her head was as if turned.
Mrs. Manon was delighted with
her son-in-law when she Learned to
know his wealth, and especially
when Mr. Hautmartin, together with
his nose, was taken as a j>rG*»t>r*r to
Grasse.
But the broken pitcher was pre
served in the family up to till- day
as an heirloom and a holy relic.

lOLIMBI S MINISTERS.

supplied with able and God-fearing
ministers, but it is a little singular
there is hut one <'hristian among
them. Wright, at tit. Paul’s, stands I
out nobly in opposition to w rong.

Wesley Chapel, though under Bond
at present, seems to be in a fair way !
to be liberated from the thraldom
of sin. The Episcopal Church has a
Hunter , who is hunting up with
some degree of success the lost sheep j
of the house of Israel; and like Nim
rod of old, we hope he will become a ;
mighty hunter. We can’t make the
names of Nutt and Culfinan jingle,
but the men themselves will do.—

DEMORALIZATION OF LABOR
Every year the negroes become less
and less reliable as laborers. Especial
ly is this the ease about cities, where
the colored mind seems bent on edu
cation, church enterprises and benev
olent societies. Many seem to have
caught the idea that freedom means
exemption from drudgery, and that
in the new order all are to be “ ladies
and gentlemen,” without visible
means of support. We notice many
males and females among the negroes
large enough to earn the wages of full
hands on plantations, wending their
way to school, as if the future of the
commonwealth rested upon their
shoulders. Many of the girls dress
themselves equally as well as the
whites, and as a general thing have a
very exalted opinion of their self-im
portance, growing more averse to la
bor. Some of them are also becoming
very impudent. Now, we have no
objection to freedmen receiving the
benefits of a common school education;
on the contrary, we think theoountry
and society will to some extent be
made better thereby. But while they
are thus receiving the rudiments of
learning and citizenship, we would
endeavor to impress upon them that
these things do not bring exemp
tion from hard work, and the sooner
they disabuse their minds of this idea
the better. “Hewers of wood and
drawers of water” are quite as indis
pensable to the welfare of the State as
are brains. Bone and sinew must be
had, and if the colored people will
not furnish them, they will inevita
bly be rooted out by the strong and
hardy yeomanry of Other lands. ( ol
ored “gentlemen” and “Indies”
who will not work, but prefer to trust
their wits to carry them through, will
soon find that the world does not need
them. Chicken thieves and Front
street nymphs are an incubus upon
society; an increase of their numbers
is not at all desirable. Colored parents
will do well to impress these ideas
upon their children. —Columbus En

Railroad Signals. —One whistle
of the locomotive means down brakes; i
two whistles, off brakes; three whis- |
ties, back up; continued whistles,
danger. A continued succession Is the
cattle alarm. The conductor’s signal,
given by a sweeping parting of the
hands on a level with the eyes, means j
to go ahead. A downward motion of
the hand, stop. A beckoning mo
tion, to hack. A lantern raised and
lowered vertically signals starting ;
swung at right angles or across the
track, to stop ; swung in a circle, to
hack. A red flag waved on the track
is a signal of danger; hoisted at a
station is a signal for stopping ; stuck
up by the roadside is a signal of dan
ger on track ahead ; carried unfurled
on an engine is a signal that another
engine or train is on its way.—Ex

TOO MUCH FOR THE DEVIL.
This is Edward Hale’s story : A
man had sold himself to the* devil,
who was to possess him at a certain
time unless he could propound a
question to his Satanic majesty which
he could not answer, he being allow
ed to put three questions to him. i
The time came for the devil to claim
his own, and he subsequently ap- i
peared. The first question the" man
asked was concerning theology, to
which it caused the devil no trouble
to reply. The second he also answer
ed without hesitation. The man’s
fate depended on the third. What
should it be?
He hesitated and turned pale, and
the cold dew stood on his forehead,
while he shivered with anxiety, ner
j vousness and terror, and the devil
! triumphantly sneered. At this
juncture the man’s wife entered the
room with a bonnet on her head.
Alarmed at her husband’s condition,
she demanded to know the cause.
When informed, she laughed and
said, “ I can propound a question
which the devil himself cannot an
swer. Ask him which is the front of
this bonnet?” The devil gave it up
and retired in disgust, and the man
was free.

CHILDRLX’S COLUMN.
A Thrilling Occasion.—At a
recent Sunday-School Union meeting
in Brooklyn, eleven thousand child
ren sang.
“ Perpendicular !”—lt is related
that a certain Sunday-School in
Wales the children are taught very
much by signs. The hand of the
teacher sloped signified “oblique:”
the hand held flat “horizontal;" the
hand upright, “ perpendicular.” < ine
of the \\ elsli bishops was preaching
one day in behalf of the school, when
observing several children whispering
together, held his hand up in a warn
ing manner, meaning thereby to
impose silence, on which the whole
-ohool, in the midst of the sermon,
screamed out, “ Pernendicular.”
“My son,” said a good mother to
her young hopeful, “ did you wish
your teacher a happy New Year?”
“ No, ma’am,” responded the boy.
“ Well, why not?” “Because,” said
the lad, “ -he isn’t happy unless she’s
whipping some of us boys, and 1 was
afraid if 1 wished her happiness, she’d
go for me.”
HUE Pit IDF.
A young man named Darks, from
Worcester, entered the store of the
Lawrences, in Boston, and found
Ainos in the office. He represented
himself as having just commenced
business, and desired to purchase a
lot of goods. He had recommenda
tions its to character from several
influential citizens of Worcester, hut
none touching his business standing or
capacity. The merchant listened to
his story, and at its close shook his
head.
" I have no doubt, he s;tid kindly,
*' you have full faith in your
ability to promptly meet the "obli
gations you would now assume, but
1 have no knowledge of your tact or
capacity, and, you admit, you are just
launching forth upon the sea of
business, I should be doing you in
justice to allow you to contract a debt
which I did not feel assured you could
pay at the proper time.”
But Mr. Lawrence liked the appear
ance of the young man, and finally i
told him that he would let him have
what goods he could pay for at the
cost of manufacture—about ten per
cent, less than the regular wholesale
price.—The bil was made out and
paid, and the clerk asked where the
goods should be sent.
“ I will take them myself,” said
the purchiiser.”
“ Vou will find them rather heavy,”
suggested the clerk, smiling.
“Nevermind; I am strong, and
the stageoffice is not far away, and
besides I have nothing else to occupy
my time.”
“ -But,” said theclerk, expostulating
“ It is hardly in keeping with your
position to be shouldering such pon
derous bundles through the city.”
“ There you mistake,” replied the
young man with simple candor, ‘dis
position just now is oik' in which "i
must help myself if I would be helped
at all. I am not ashamed to carry
anything which J honestly possess,
noram 1 ashamed of the strength
which enables me to carry this heavy
burden.”
Thus speaking, he shouldered a
large bundle, and had turned toward
the outer door, when .Air. Lawrence,
who, from his office, had overheard
the conversation, called him back.
“ Mr. Parks, 1 have concluded to
let you have what goods you want on
time. Select at your pleasure.”
The young man was surprised.
“ You have the true pride for a
successful merchant, sir,” pursued
Lawrenee, “and I shall hr much
disappointed if you do not prosper.”
Amos Lawrence was not disappoint
ed.—Within fifteen years from that
time Samuel Parks was himself
established on Milk street—one of the
most enterprising and successful mer
chants in Boston.
“ Now, children,” said a sumlav-
School gentleman visitor, who had
been talking to the scholars about
“ good” people and “bad” people—
“now, children, when 1 am walking
in the street L speak to some persons
I meet, and I don’t speak to others;
and what’s the reason ?’ ’ He expected
tin' reply would be, “ Because some
are good and others bad,” but, to his
discomfiture, the general shout was,
“ Because some are rich, and others
are poor!”

DAM EL WEBSTER IX BOYHOOD. j
Daniel Webster in boyhood gave j
no promise of t he extraordinary pow
ers of his manhood, and especially of
his fitness for public life and speaking, j
His growth was slow and solid, j
not rapid or brilliant. The following
record of his early years may encour
age some of our younger readers:
When about seven years of age his
father kept a “ Yankee Tavern,” and
young Daniel used to entertain the
guests by reading to them some of
the psalms of David. Even the rough
teamsters, when they pulled up their
horses, would say, “ Come let’s go in
and hear a psalm from Dan Webster! ”
His voice at that time was deep,
rich and musical. But as a school
boy he was no elocutionist, or rather I
his sensitiveness was such that he
could not practice. His first effort at
fourteen was a failure, for the moment
he began he was cm harassed and
hurst into tears. He tried many
times, preparing himself carefully,
but when his name was called, and
he saw all eyes turned upon him, lie
could not rise. So much for this great
orator. Li t no timid boy be dis
couraged.
On a recent declamation day ii* a
New Jersey school, a promising young
idea sin>t off the subjoined:
“Our yellow hen has broke her leg,

j sister Sail has eat the pie; this "earth
is full of pin and sorrow, we’re born
to-day and die to-morrow!”

MIS( ELLANEOI'S.
THE GREAT WESTERN CANA I.
The importance of this improve
ment to Missouri and all the States
■ and Territories lying to the north,
north-west and west of that Shite, as
far as the Rocky Mountains, cannot
at present in'conceived. The Illinois,
Mississippi, Missouri, and Arkansas
River*, with their numberless branch
es, all leading into one grand center
at St. Louis, draining nearly the en
tire country from the Reeky Moun
tains and Canada, this- being the nat
ural center of trade—the cheapest pos
sible freight must be found in this di
rection, hence the cheapest and best
outlet to the ocean for St. Louis will
be also the main outlet for that entire
country drained by those rivers and
their tributaries.
Most of this vast territory and per
haps the whole of it will compare
well with any other section of the
United States of £qiial exteut, and is
sufficient for the formation of at hast
fifteen states as large as ()hio or India
na.
This being the case, who can fully
contemplate the amount of trade—the
production of this fertile portion of
our country? Li *us took for a mo
ment at the production of one, and
that anew State, Minnesota, and only
at the one article of wheat: By the re
port of the Census of 186 ft, the total
production of wheat was only a little
over two millions of bushels, but in
1869 the production was 18,600,000
to Eastern but in 1870 we
find Gov. Austin, of Minnesota, plead
ing for a better outlet to market be
fore the House Committee on Com
merce*, and said that from “ one-half ;
to two-thirds of the surplus grain crop
of 1860 in Minnesota still remains in
the bins of her farms, or in warehous- j
i es and elevators on her soil, because i
the cost of moving it to the* Eastern j
markets was so great.’.’ Now mark ;
this, he was advocating the construe- i
tion of a canal from some point high '
up the Mississippi to Lake Michigan,
by which the saving in transporting |
that one crop would amount to $1,600,-
000; then after reaching Michigan!
that grain would have to be shipped
over that Lake and Lake Huron, and
Lake E r i e to Buffalo, then by the
Erie Canal to Albany, and down to
New York as the very best they could '
have.
This route through the lakes, with
a little variation is the principal one
for all the productions of this vast fer
tile region just mentioned—a general
move from various points on the Mis
sissippi to the lakes and then through
the Erie Canal, and that canal closed
with ice five months of the year.
It is true railroads can be used for
transporting grain and sometimes are,
but unless there is considerable com
petition their charges are enormous.
Gov. Austin said that to move their
grain by rail it cost from five to ten
cents per bushel every 60 miles, which
is from five to ten times common
freight by canal.
In recounting the inconveniences of
that section respecting a highway to
market, the enquiry is often made
why they do not use the Mississippi;
they formerly used 1 hat as their only
channel of trade. The best manner
of answering the question is to state
a few facts in relation to this matter:
Before the construction of the Erie
Canal and other canals from the Ohio
River and also from the Mississippi
River to the lakes as a means to reach
the great Erie Canal, the Western
States were compelled to use the Mis
oinoippj i iulf route, if auy except
railroads, but after the construction of
the Erie and its feeders, the southern
route was soon diminished, the north
ern route took more and more of the
trade till in 1860 it was almost anni
hilated. See the shipments from

The above table shows conclusive
ly that the Gulf route was virtually
abandoned before the war, while Chi
cago and other lake ports show an in
crease, and that with all the inconve
niences and delays, together with risk
of being caught in the ice when late
in the season, still the lake and Erie
Canal route was preferred to that of
the lower Mississippi and Gulf.
All this goes to prove that the
North-West is in need of a safer and
cheaper—a better highway to market,
an outlet capable of conveying far
more than the Erie Canal with five
thousand boats.
It may safely be asserted that if the
contemplated canal through Georgia
in connection with the Tennessee
River could be opened this year, that
it would yearly carry more freight
from the first than the great Erie ev
er has, and if prosperity attends our
country for ten years to come the ton
age on"this line will be double that of
the lake route, and that it will con
tinue to increase as long as prosperity
shall attend our nation. This must
in the very nature of things be the
result; there is no other center of
trade within the limits of our entire
country that will compare with St.
Louis.
It is a point of general, natural con
centration of an extent of country
nearly equal to the whole of New
England, New York, Pennsylvania
and all tiie States south of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi rivers, and
which perhaps is not excelled in fer
tility of soil and mineral resources by
any equal extent of territory. This
whole extent of country, vast in ex
tent and boundless in resources, is
now seeking a highway to market,
and proposing to carry the produc
tion and trade of this entire* country,
or nearly so, through our county, by
our doors, and I would ask if it be
comes us to ignore their wants, or to
| speak lightly of the enterprise, or to
express a doubt of the completion of
it if undertaken, when we should be
the recipients to a large extent by the
construction of such a work, and
when vastly more is literally wasted
Ivy the General Government from
year to year. - Let us rather look up
on this work as a sine qua non with
the West, and a foregone conclusion,
and think of the advantages we shall
derive from it at home.

„ SEED €<Mt\.
As the season will soon be here, a
word or two on this subject may not
be unacceptable to our readers, though
we are aware there is danger of again
exciting the cachinations of our At
lanta contemporary, who Is disposed
to ignore his rural antecedents. *
In a country, to our shame be it
spoken, so often dependent for bread
upon the granaries of the Weft, a
great desideratum is the introduction
of some early and productive variety
of Indian com. Experience has
shown, however, that this extra early
grain is very difficult to preserve in
this climate, on account of the rava
ges of the weevil. A small portion
of the crop only, should therefore, lx*
devoted to its production, still, a few
acres on each farm would relieve the
country from tui immense outlay of
money, at a period of the year when
accommodation can only be had (if
at all,) at ruinous rates of interest.
The department of Agriculture is
distributing and recommend very
highly, a species of corn developed in
1870, by 31r. G. (’. CtGley, of Manches
ter, Adams county, Oliio, which is
said to grow off and mature very rap
idly, and at the same time produce's
abundantly.
3D. Croley testifies that from seed
planted on tin* 3d of May, the grain
was harvested and converted into
, meal by the 9th of August. One
planter in Wisconsin raised a crop,
and ground a portion of it into meal, j
thirteen weeks from the date ofplant
i ing. Another in 3iinuesota, from a
pint and a half of the same seed, real
ized fifty bushels of corn. The grain
of this variety is white, and it isclaim-1
ed to be as prolific as any other de
scription.
It is a well known fact that seed
corn from Northern latitude's ripens
earlier in this region than the native
grain, The writer remembers to have
! seen on the seaboard experiments
i with the ordinary grain of commerce
received from Baltimore, fully cor
-1 roborating this statement. One plan
ter supplied his farm with bread early
in July, from a variety procured from
Pennsylvania.
As before stated, attention is called
to this early seed, simply to eke out
the provisions of the year after sea
sons of scarcity. Crops of Irish pota
toes, and the whippoorwill or speck
led pea, are useful for the same pur
pose.
In the raising of a corn crop, the
nature of the seed should depend
greatly upon the character of the soil.
Elevated ridges and thin land yield
best when planted with white or vei
low gourd seed, while the white, large
grained Tuscarora or pure flint corn
seems best adapted to swamp lands or
alluvial bottoms.
It is a curious fact that near the sea,
every description of seed corn inevi
tably turns into the flint variety, after
the lapse of a few years. Farmers
residing there who wish to raise a soft
corn for feeding purposes, are compel 1-
ed to renew their seed from their in
terior every two or three years. Pure
gourd seed will show even after the
first harvest the small end of every
ear gradually changing into the glaz
ed and indurated flint. The writer,
in common with all others on the
coast, was always forced to select each
year, Ins seed from the softer ears,
shelling off the flint grains at the ends,
to keep the whole crop from lapsing
into flint. The latter variety makes
better hominy or grits, and keeps lon
ger, but yields much less flour when
ground, and wears away the teeth ’of
the stock fed upon it.
The Baden, Peabody’s Early, and
many other prolific varieties of corn
««*» re be found in, all narts of the
country—some ot these average from
two to four ears to the stalk. They
will not do to depend upon, however,
as before stated, as birds in the crib,
play sad havoc with the grain, and
render the seed difficult of preserva
tion.
The main point in ensuring a good ,
stand of corn is to look closely to the '
soundness of every ear before it is >
shelled.
A perfect grain will remain in the
ground for many weeks, and then
sprout with certainty after the sever
est spells of weather.
Soaking in a solution of coal tar and
hot water for several minutes, B a
sure protection against the ravages of
birds, moles and squirrels.
We have seen corn treated thus and
thrown intothe barn-yard, remain ex
posed on the earth for months, con
stantly trampled under foot by hogs
and poultry, and yet never a grain
would they touch.
The limits of this article do not al
low us to treat of the cultivation of
this valuable cereal. < )ur design is
simply to call attention to the impor
tance of procuring the best varieties
of seed, before sowing. —Telegraph <l

IRISH POTATOES.
From Southern Farm & llome.J
We are indebted to our esteemed
friend, Hon. David W. Lewis, Secre
tary of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society, for the following report of the
mode of cultivation oftheacreof Irish
potatoes for which Dr. B. Hamilton,
of Dalton, Ga., obtained the premium
at the Georgia State Fair. The i cr
tificate of the yield has boon unfortu
nately either mislaid or lias never
reached us. We remember, however,
that the yield was very large, and
that the potatoes exibited were unu
sually tine.
“ Enclosed will be found certiiiieate j
of the quantity of Irish potatoes I
grown by me this year, on one acre of
land, in Whitfield county, Ga., two
and one-half miles from Dalton. The
varieties grown were the Early Rose,
Early Goodrich, Early Harrison, and
a native seedling of our own State,:
four years from the ball or seed. The
land was second bottom, with a clay
foundation, highly manured for years.
I grew clover on it last year, which
was not cut. The land was brohen in
March, with a long scooter, cross
plowed the first week in April, and
harrowed both ways. The rows were
opened with a turn-plow running
both ways—giving a depth of furrow
of about eight inches, which was idl
ed half full of compost manure. The
seed was cut—the large potatoi - in
two and three pieces, the small ones
planted whole. The rows were three
feet apart, and the seeds placed one
foot apart in the drills. The furrow
was filled and well tramped in with
rotten straw, then covered about one
inch with soil, and the whole surface
mulched with rotten straw from four
to six inches deep. Nothing more
was done until digging time.
Yours truly, B. Hamilton.
To Make <luorxn Peas. —Break
the land well with a turn plow, run
it off three feet each way, drop two
peas in each check, and cover with a
hot*. As soon as the crop is well up
run around with rooter, and draw’ the
dirt up with a hoe. Next time with
a sweep, again draw ing the dirt up to
the vine with a hoe. Put no dirt at
all on the vines.
The above w’ork is sufficient to
make the crop. I think a small quan
tity of good Superphosphate in each
hill would largely increase tlie crop.
The fifteenth is not too late to gather
the crop. Plow up the vines just be
fore frost, turn them over and expose
the peas to the sun for a day or two,
haul them in and put them under
shelter, and pick the peas at your leis
ure. Turn your hogs in the patch and
they will get all you leave. Sandy
soil'is the best.

One of the main causes of the fre
quent failure." tis which we hear to
raisefruit successfully in tin* Southern
States, "ay-the rfoutheru Farm and
I Home, is tin* want ofueurate knowl
edge in the selection nftbe varieties
which are> suited to our soil and cli
mate. It G too often the ease that
when we resolve to plant an orchard,
or establish a vineyard, we take a eat
ulogue ofsoine Northern nurseryman,
and select the varieties which an* de
scribed as the best, without, reflecting
that trees whieh will do very well in
Northern New York, or in "Pennsyl
vania or New Jersey, may be wholly
unsuited to the soil and dimateof the
Uarolinas, Georgia or Tenia-oee. Fre
quently, also, we select our trees from
the gorgeously illustrated album of
some Yankee tree peddler who does
not own a tree or a foot of ground in
the world, but depends for the fulfill
ment of the orders he receives on the
purchase, at cheap rates, of the refuse
seedlings of some Northern orchard.
The recent meeting at Richmond,
\ a., of the American Bornological
Society, devoted much time to the
discussion of the fruits G'st adapted
to the Southern States. As the or
chardists and fruit-growers of the
South were well and ably represented
, in that body, we may safely conclude
that their selections have been judi
ciously formed aftermuch experience
and. attention. In regard to-am* va
rieties there was a diversity of opin
ion* The Hale’s early peach, for in
f stau<*e, was said by Berekmans . of A u
gustu, Ga., to be an excellent early
j peach, whileJLangdon, of3iobile, pro
nounced it a complete failure. Butin
the great majority of eases there was
perfect accord of j udgment. We give
: below the names of the varieties of
peaches, pears, grapes and strawber
ries which have been found to succeed
well in the Southern States:
Peaches —Hale’s Early; Early TilJ
otson; Crawford’s Early; Large Ear
ly York ; Stump the World; Susque
hanna; Columbia; < ’hinese <’liug;
Lemon (’ling; Oldmixon (ling;
Heath Cling and Grosse 3fignouuo.
Pears —Bartlett; Belle Lucrative;
Doyenne d’Ete; Anjou; Duchess
d’Angouleme; Lawrence; Clairgean
and Seckel.
Crapes —Hart-fort; Clinton; Neup
pernong; Iona; Concord: Ives; Del
aware and Norton’s Virginia.
Sfrmi'bernes-\V ilson’s Albany: Tri
omphe deCand ; Longworth’s‘Prolif
ic; President Wilder; Downing and
Boyden’s No. 30.
We can state from our own experi
ence that Halo’s Harly, Early Tislot
son, Crawford’s Early, Stump the
World, Chinese Cling, and < lldinixon
Cling, are excellent peaches, and
thrived well in the neighborhood of
Athens. We have heard many com
plaints of Hale’s Early in many lo
calities, in Alabama particularly; and
vve also hear that it does badly in
West Tennessee and 3lississippi." The
principal eause of eomplaint is the
rotting of the fruit before it matures.
<>f pears, we found the Bartlett,
Belle Lucrative and Duchess d’An

the Concord, Ives and Scuppernong
did the best; and of strawberries,
though we experimented with a num
ber of varieties, we found none wort h

SPUING BlUMiqs.
Clutchewof chickens turned out in
February and 3larcb will prove un
profitable unless protected from cold
wind" and rains and are* regularly fed
and properly housed. For four or 1i ve
weeks young chicks should be fed
lerinr.; qml (lif.
food should be fresh and sound. Stale
dough will produce diarrhea, and too
much raw dough will induce hard
crop. Boiled eggs, milk and bread
crumbs, stale bread, and small por
tions of cooked fresh meat, with a
moderate supply of green food, cut up,
will produce flesh and strength. The
I chicks should be fed late in the even
ing and early in the morning. If the
weather is cold, a warm breakfast of
oat porridge will prove highly accep
table. Whole grain, unless well soak
ed, is not desirable for young chicks.
A variety of food, well seasoned with
popper, red or black—is always best,
and when given at regular hours, in
moderate quantities, is the best pres
: ervation of health. Care should be
taken to protect all fowls against ver
min, and to do this, flour of sulphur
; may be freely used both in sitting
boxes, and in coops, with good results.

SAGACITY Os TUB COW.
We have been told of instances of
sagacity in these animals, quite sur
prising. A friend had a cow that was
very fond of biscuit with sugar on it.
She would stay in the yard all day,
bawding, before she would go off to
grass, unless a biscuit was given her
with white sugar. She would reject
common sugar. She seemed to have
her feelings hurt if this little point of
etiquette was not attended to properly
—and it was really her due, for she
gave gallons of rich milk every day.
Near Hartford reside two old maids,
who had lived alone thirty years, un
der a vow of celibacy, all that time
milking one cow, when both us them
fell sick, and it was found that the
brute would not submit to he milked,
as she evidently eon -trued the act into
a robbery of her mistresses, for there
was no way of getting her to compre
hend that they were in the house sick.
At last stratagem wa-reported to. A
young man in the neighborhood dress
ed in the clothes of one of the sisters,
and went out to milk. He got along
well enough till the wind blew off his
bonnet, when the cow happening to
look around just then, saw his short
hair, and detecting the fraud in an
instant, kicked tie* pail and themilk
er over together, and galloped off.
HOW TO MAKE A CITY CAROLS.
Take barrels and bore holes around
the middle, and one hole large enough
to admit the nose of your watering
pot. Fill the barrel with stones as
high as the rows of holes, and fill in
with good, rich, fine earth to the top,
in which plant cucumbers, melons,
squashes, tomatoes, etc. One barrel
will he enough of each kind.
Be sure to have one flat stone lean
over the large hole, where you will
pour in water until it runs (ait of the
holes you have made, and which will
prevent the earth from filling this
large hole up. Range the barrels
around vour yard, and plant vour
-mis. Keep the barrels filled with
water up to the holes, and you have
all the requisites for rapid, healthy
growth,—air, heat, and moisture.
You can raise all the vegetables you
will need, in the greatest perfection,
and they will last until late in the au
tumn, as they can easily be covered
on frosty nights. Cucumbers and to
matoes may ruing over the barrels,
cutting them off when they reach the
bottom. Melons may lx* tied to the
wall fence. The stones have an im
portant service in holding up the earth
and absorbing the heat during the
day, which they give out at night,
keeping the water at an even tenrqier
ature. You will be astonished at the
result if you have never triedit.— The
Prairie Farmer.
Ditching and draining, where not
already completed, may still go on,
and too much of this work can hardly
be done on most of our plantations.
The flower garden soil should not be
too rich, hut must be thoroughly pul
verized.
Timothy Hay. of Tennessee* has a
stack of 15 children and wants no
i mower.
At a late concert, a testyokl Allow,
who had suffered much annoyance
from the incessant coughing of hB
neighbor behind him, turned around
with. “ Thar is a very bad cold you’ve
got, sir,” which met with this gentle
reply: “ 1 am sorry for it, sir. but it

A gentleman who had conferred a
favor upoivan Irishman was thus ad
dressed by him: "Long lifo to you,

you live to eat the hen that scratches
the gravel on your grave.”

fectly incredible to those unacquainted with
the Bitters, the facility with which a heal

ed to the exhausted organs of the sysikm ;
with a degree of animation and desire for

rouses the animal spirits, and substantially
fortifies and reanimates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
Indians are the most healthy ofihehumar
race. They take an abundaec or _ physical
exercise, breathe pure air, and live on siir
plc dirt. When sick, they use no mineral
poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plants
“from the great drug tore of their Cr-u
--tor." McCctcheon's “ Chkrokkh
Bittcbs” is a combination of these vege'a
blc substances which render it entirely in
nocent to the constitution of the most de’i
cate male or female. The wonderful power
which these “Bitters" are known to pos

that it is without a parallel iu the history
