From the Hearth and Home. I “Its no use of keepin’ a peckin’ all the time at your neighbors religion. ! It isn’t liberal. Still truth’s truth.— j But you know the old sayin’ that 1 wdiat’s one man’s meat’s another’s; pizen. Well, I couldn’t stand the de crees ’ and when Elder Shamway, down at the Corners, preached them at me—for mind he always preached at you—l got riled up. If Elder Shurnway, I said to myself, was right, what sort of bein’ was He that made | the world ? Father tried to cool me down, and said, ’Zekiel, you’ll under stand it better by-and-by; but I said i want to understand it now ; and fa ther couldn’t explain, no more than the minister himself. And so, under that kind of preaching I begun to grow a little hard. It made father look solemn, but I couldn’t help it. It warn’t his fault. Now, just about that time, one of the Lyceum folks from Boston come to the Corners to lecture, and I drove down to hear him, as they said he was smart. He made the folks look a little scary with his ‘ views .’ He said that the first man was an ape; that is, we was developed from apes, and he put on a sort of humble look, and thought we’d better not be ashamed of our geneal ogy. It was scientific. But he didn’t tell us what the apes come from; maybe it wamH scientific to follow it up, and ask what them was that come before the apes, and what was before them, and so on. ’Spect he was afraid that he’d git round to the Scripture statement, that man was first made of a little dirt. But then, according to him, the Bible was wrong, miracles was impossible be cause, well, because they was impos sible! and he didn’t believe there was any God after all. I didn’t see the weak points then, and was taken up with his ideas, as I thought it helped me to git red of the decrees, which I couldn’t stand. It settled my mind ; though I didn’t see, at the time, I was getting to feel hard and unnatural. Well, as I said, I was quite taken up for a time with the ‘views ; ’ but by-and-by it didn’t seem such a fine tiling after all that corn should be left to grow alone without any Creator. As for the juices he told about, what do they know? Poor things to depend on, but 1 had got red of the decrees! and so I didn’t care much in the end ; and when the great sugar-maple that father was choping’ fell over and kill ed him, I thought more ofthe ‘ views’ than ever. Es there was a Supreme Power, such as Elder Sliumway told about, why didn’t he do things differ ent, and leave a man to his family in a pinch, just when he was wanted?” “ Yes,” put in Mr. Flint, “there are many things that we Can’t under stand here,” “Jes so,” said Ezekiel, “but I wan ted to understand everything at once, without waiting to put this and that together; and so, after the funeral, I begun to grow more hard, and didn’t care to go to the Corners at all. So one Sunday mother was a-settin’ in her chair, with the big Bible open, reading. She seemed to read it mor’n ever now that father was gone; and after she read she would set still and kinder look up in the air, in a strange sort of way, and then shut her eyes. She didn’t seem to see me at all, and appeared taken up with some unnat ural idee. It made me feel queer. Once I went, when she laid down the Bible, and I see that it was open at the last chapter but one, and when I read it I felt just a leetle cold; for, if the ‘views’ was true, the things told there was nothing to me. But I was a-sayin’ that on that Sunday mother set with the Bible, and after she had read a long while she said, ’’Zekel, I should like to go down to the Corners to meeting.’ As I set there, I was a reading the Agriculturalist , and, with out lookin’ up, I said, ‘Oh! it’s no use goin’ to meeting, anyhow; I don’t b’lieve in God.’ Then 1 went on a readin’; but in a minnit I looked up and see that I’d made a mistake. I shell never forgit that look. She said nothing, but held on tight to the Bible, her lips all pale and close to gether, and her eyes full of tears. I’d cut her soul eenmost in two; and now I couldn’t stand it myself. There was a great chunk a-coming in my throat, and so I,went straight out and set down behind the barn. Then I got a-thinkin’ in earnest, and afore you’d b’lieve it I come to consider that the ‘views’ warn’t of much ac count any way. I see what they’d done already, and caleulaten what they was likely to do, settin’ a man against his own mother. So I made up n.y mind, and without making any noise I went into the barn and harnessed Whitefoot, and drove round to the door just a little still, and stopped and said, ‘/Y/t ready. ’ Mother see me, and looked up awful surprised, and the tears come agin, though this time they was tears of joy. In fact, I felt better myself, hut we didn’t say much all the way down, though I knowed she was pleased, only as we come up to the meeting-house at a through-going pace, she said, ’Zekiel,a’n’t we going a little fast for Sunday?’ ‘You see,’ said the speaker, ‘that I didn’t cal culate to take anybody’s dust.’ “ Well, I’ve digressed, out it’s all a part of it. I was a-saying that mother and I went to the Corners.— Elder Shumway preached, and didn’t make me feel quite so uncomfortable as I expected; and after meeting we drove home. I see plainly mother felt better; still, I didn’t make much headway, & felt a good deal unnatural. The ‘views, might be true after all. In fact, I’d something to learn yet, about decrees, and it come. You re member the great freshit we had on the Pawtunxet River ?“ “ It was when I was out West.“ “ Well, that was the greatest risin’ I ever knowed. It was in the spring, and one day it grew warm and began to rain and the snow melted. In four hours there was a flood. I got up in the night to see what was going on, and look after the cattle; but when I opened the door I stepped splash in to the water. The river had got up to the house. So I waited until ft was light, and then, kinder like No ah, I put my head out of the winder to see how things was gitting on. Well, I eenamost thought that the world was drowned again. Still, there was things to be seen to, and so I and Sam (that was my little broth er) went out and waded to the ridge— you know the place—and then walk ed on to the pastures and found they was five feet deep with water. The river was up full sixteen feet. Just then Josiah Pratt come along, and said that the Pawtunxet mill had to go. The water was up iu the second | story, and it couldn’t stand it long, j John Newman, the watchman, was ! on top and couldn’t get off. We fol j lowed down along the ridge, toward ; the mill, but couldn’t get very near, j The sight was awful. The river run like suthin’ mad, and full of trees j and lumber, haycocks from the med ders, and whole houses and barns sailing along. It looked as if Paw tunxet village was a-going to sea. — And there was the long brick mill, only half out of water, and the river rushing against it, while John New man was on the roof, lioldin’ on to the chimbly. John was an awful wicked feller, .and was one of them that stomped when the Boston man at the Corners said there wasn’t no Creator. I don’t know' what John thought note, for, though he hollered, we couldn’t hear what he said, the river made such a noise. I could see that he looked terrible, but we wasn’t able to do anything, and had to stand waiting, expecting every minnit the mill would go. At last we see it was settlin’, and John Newman was ding in’ on to the chimbly tighter than ever. Now' we held our breath. But it didn’t go then. At last it began to kinder teeter and teeter, and before we hardly knowed it, the mill spread out at both ends and went down. We expected it would make a great splash, but it didn’t. It took its fall in a pashunt sort of way; and when John Newman and the chimbly went under, the river biled just a little and then rushed on, as the Scripter says, seeking something to devour. That mill warn’t no account at all. “Josiah now said that we had bet ter go home, and so we started, mournfully like, with the rest of the folks, as it was clear that we couldn’t be of any use. We went on slow till we had got a third of the way to the house, when I, on a sudden, said, Where is Sam? Josiah didn’t re member whether he started with us or not, but I thought he must hev, and so we went on. But as Sam didn’t come in sight I grew uneasy, and stopped to wait for him, but he didn’t come. Then I guessed he left us before the mill went down, and went higher up tne river; so I walk ed back with a sort of leelin’ that there was somethin’ wrong, but I couldn’t find Sam. Then we went where we stood at first, and looked at the rushin’ river. Suddenly 1 see a sight that made me feel a sort o’ palsied. It was nothin’ less than Sam a-comin’ down past where the mill was, on top of a hay-cock. I knew in a flash how it was. He’d gone up along to get a nearer sight of the mill from a hummock, and the river cut through behind and under minded the whole thing, when he crawled top of the hay. Now he was a-goin’ like mad, and we couldn’t help him any more’n we could John Nt-wraan. It was /Sairn’e turn now. — He knewed we could’t hear him, and he didn’t holler, but set still on top. I could almost see his eyes when he went by, lookin’ like one dead alrea dy. An’ so he went like a shot over the mill-dam, where the water run almost level; and when we got up to the top of the hummock so as to see further, Sam was out of sight. I was staggered now; I thought the ‘views’ ivas right and that things run loose. Josiah was dreadful mournful, and said at last that we had better go back to the house; and so, with a sort of sick felin’, I went. Where’s Sam? says mother. But our faces, all white, she said afterwards, told the story. At last Josiah had to say just how it was, for I couldn’t, and you never see anything like the effect. When father was brought home dying, mo ther was calm, and looked up as if she see angels coinin’ to strengthen Her. But this time the angels didn’t oome. There warn’t no strength note. Sam was the youngest (a sort of Ben jamin, you know), a bright boy, and just the stuff for a minister, with fa ther’s eyes and make; and so mother set right down and covered her face. But after a while she dropped her hands slowly and said: ’Zekel, don’t you think you could find—?’ That was all she could say, but I knowed what she meant, and started for the river, w’hile Josiah went to tell the neighbors that Sam was drowned.— The storm was over now, the water had gone down, and the sun was shi nin’, but somehow I couldn’t see. My eyes was like Jeremiah’s, but my heart warn’t. In fact, I was despe rate. I knew ’twarn’t no use to hunt for the body, but I went because mo ther wanted me to. So I walked and walked along the river, and see noth in’. If found at all, it would be a long way off. Still I kept on most three miles in the edge of the tvoods and fields, and come to the High Falls where the river tumbles straight down thirty feet. Bight above the falls was a rocky island which was all under water now, but the top of a great apple-tree in the middle was above it, and when I got where I could hear the bellerin’ of the falls, I thought I see somethin’ in the branch es. Still, I don’t know why I kept on; but as I come near, it looked like hay. Then I run and come opposite the tree, and, would you believe it? there was the lmy-cock plastered in ter the top of the tree, and Sam top of that, as comfortable as Moses in the bulrushes. Afore that it seemed as if there wasn't any Creator rulin’ things, but now I hinder believed there was. Still, I felt short of breath. I thought I was a-goin’ to be a ghost. The feelin’s all stopped pumpin' up inter my eyes. At last I cried, Is that you, Sam ? And Sam says, Jest so. Sam, I said, how are you ? Then the little critter hollered out, All right! After a heap of danger, we got a boat and got him ashore, and started for home. Sam was too tired to talk, you can guess, and I only said, How did you feel when you went over the dam? As though it was lightenin’, said Sam. But I kept up a-thinkin’, and said to myself, them decrees might be right after all, only Elder Shumway put the wrong end of the wedge first. Clearly that ap ple-tree saved Sam; and how come it there? It warn’t even planted, but was one of them wild things that trowed of itself. If that seed hadn’t ropped in that particular spot , years and years ago, I wouldn’t a found Sam safe in the top of that tree.— Maybe there are decrees; for what sort of a Creator would he be that hadn't made up his mind? Half-way home we met Sy Blanchard, and told him what had took place; and when he see I warn’t in for a joke, he took hold of Sam’s close and see that they was dry, and said (after he drew a long breath), Sho, ’Zekiel, mericles "an be done. Well, at last we got back to the house; and while I was ! tbinkin’ how to break it to mother, Sam run ahead, and so I had to folier. The house was full of folks, but mo ther heard our steps, and next she see Sain! I thought at first she woud 'have dropped, but she didn’t. At last she stepped forrard and caught him in her arms; then she went down on her knees and looked up rapturous like, all the while boldin’ ! tight on to Sam. Well, it's no use to . try to describe that. We read In j Scripture of women who received ; tlieir dead again, but here it was; ns for the Prodigal Son, why, he warn’t nowhere.” THE GEORGIA PRESS. Georgia is blessed with a country press unequalled in excellence of management, in devotion to princi ple, and in prosperity by that of any other Southern State. Its conspicu ous position invites the following compliment, as handsome as it is de served, from the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal: “We have sometimes won dered whether the present prosperous business and political condition of Georgia is not owing in a great de gree to the excellence of her State press. It is a fact, anyhow, that the press of Georgia is more prosperous, more vigorous, more generally circu lated and read than in any other Southern State. And Georgia is blessed with a better local govern ment, her financial condition is bet ter, her works of internal improve ment are more profitable and better managed than in any and all the oth er Southern States. We do not refer especially to the press of the larger cities and towms—and they are an honor to the several communities in which they are published—but to the country press as well. There are more papers puliished in Georgia to the population, we believe, than else where in the South, and they have larger circulations, and are, beyond question, more successful than papers similarly located in neighboring States. No one who can see the pa pers of Georgia requires to be told of their prosperity. They proclaim it more than all the books that could be written, or the agents who could be appointed to herald the advantages of that State to the intelligent capi talist or industrious laborer who may be seeking a home.” SOUTHERN DEBTS TO NORTH ERN MERCHANTS. It will be remembered that in the early days of the Southern Confede racy, a law was passed confiscating the debts due by Southern men to Northern creditors. Some of the proceeds of this confiscation fund were deposited in the New Orleans banks to the order of the Confederate government when General Butler made his entry into that city. Gen. Butler seized these sums, with other contraband of war, and the whole amount was conveyed into the Unit ed States Treasury. Various parties in the North to whom money was due procured the testimony to estab lish their right to it, but there is no authority by which it can be taken from the treasury. A bill has been prepared and is now on the Senate calendar authorizing these parties to enter suit in the Court of Claims for their money, and the parties inter ested are urging its favorable consid eration. AN IMPORTANT LAW. In the Code of Georgia, section 4428 reads as follows: If any person by himself or agent, shall be guilty of employing the ser vent of another during the term w T hich he, she or they may be em ployed knowing that such servant w r as so employed, and that his terms of services was not expired; or if any person or persons shall entice, or per suade, or decoy any servant to leave his employer, either by offering high er wages or in any way w hatever, during the term of service, know ing that the said servant was so em ployed, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction, shall pay a fine not to exceed S2OO, or be imprisoned in the common jail of the county not exceeding three months, or both, at the discretion of the court. No one, in its violation is permit ted to plead ignorance of its provis ions. A New Haven revivalist the other night painted the future state of the wicked in gloomy colors, and saying that his father died a very wicked man and had gone to hell, was pro ceeding when a young man rose to go out. The preacher at once an nounced that there was a young man going straight to the same burning region, when the seceder stopped and coolly asked: “Well, elder, don’t you want to send some w r ord to your fa ther?” The abolition of slavery in Cuba is the all-abs'o: bing topic at the North. The Cuban patriots propose to free the negroes on the Island if success ful. The best way to terminate the matter is to raise 100,000 volunteers from the freedmen of the South, and land them in Cuba, duly armed, and let them go for the Spaniards.— Ex. A most melancholy affair has just occurred at Richmond, Va. Two “highly respectable” young ladies have been sent to jail for seven days for the offence of stealing from a hair dresser’s shop “a quantity of human hair” —ten dollars’ worth, in fact.— The frightful arrangements for the human head at present so much in fashion are answerable for the temp tation to which these two highly re spectably virgins succumb. It is a dreadful state of things when ladies are thus driven to crime to obtain the means of making themselves hid eous. Some important movement of troops will soon be ordered by the War De partment, the effect of which will be to take from the States of Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee the greater poriion of the United States military forces stationed in those States, and locate them at other points where the inter est of the Government may require their presence. Billings produces long columns of figures, with verbal explanations, to prove that mosquitoes are of poor but industrious parents, but have in their veins some of the best blood in the country. A recent writer believes there are only three things needed to bring out the millenium. First, a motive pow er to do all the work of steam, but re quire no fuel; second, a?rial naviga tion, by which geographical and po litical boundaries will be obliterated, and the whole world become one na tiou ; and third, chemical food, to bo j made in the laboratory without ei ther animal or vegetable substances, j and produced so cheaply that want will he unheard of. Mr E. B. Pressley, of Cartersville, will take charge of the Euharlee Ho tel, at this place, the first of next week. —Rockmart Reporter. Mr. Sprague says the road from New' Orleans to Shreveport will be completed within a year, notwith standing the Louisiana troubles. Mr. Walsh, of Richmond, introdu ced one to encourage the publication of newspapers in this State by ex empting the material used therein from taxation. Mr. Johnson, of Clay, introduced a bill to prohibit the running of steam boats or any kind of railroad trains on the Sabbath day. The oldest man in the world has at length been discovered. His name is Joe Martino Continho, a resident of Cape Frio, in the province of Rio Janeiro, Brazil, who was born on the 20th of May, 1694 and is therefore nearly 194 years old! It is said that he has forty-two children by six wives, and can count one hundred and twenty-three grand children, eighty-six greatgrandchildren, twen ty-three great great grandchildren, and twenty of the least. A lady with an unmusical voice insisted upon singing at a party. — “What does she call that?” inquired a guest. “The Tempest, I think,” answered another. “Don’t be alarm ed,” said a sea captain paesent, “That is no tempest; it is only a squall, and will soon be over.” “Lor-a-inassy,” exclaimed the old lady iu the witness box, “how should I know anything about a thing I dunno anything about ?” A certain little damsel having been aggravated beyond endurance by her brother, plumped down on her knees and cried: “O Lord! bless my broth er Tom. He lies, he steals, he sw ears; all boys do; us girls don’t. Amen. A smart boy in schools of Cadiz, Pa. having been required to write a com position on some part of the human body expanded as follows: “The throat—A throat is convenient to have, especially for roosters andmin-, isters.

We gather the following practical and timely hints from the proceed ings of the late Fruit Growers Con vention of Pennsylvania: j Mr. Meehan said he did uot believe in underdraining or subsoiling or chards. The feeding- roots of trtss are near the surface, and if they are fed, there is no necessity for deep tillage, lie approved of a system of ridging the land, by which by successive ploughings the soil is thrown up two j or three feet above the natural level, j and the trees are planted on theridg i es. This is so economical a process } compared with underdraining and subsoiling as to possess great advanta ges. The idea of making the whoio orchard “ one big hole” is ridiculous, expensive and useless. MANAGEMENT OF ORCHARDS. The most profitable way of manag ing a fruit garden and orchard l>eing under consideration— Mr. Satterthwaite said he believed in iowtrained trees, in manuring, in good drainage, and in keeping the old bark scraped off the trees. Mr. Meehan recommended putting the land into grass after the trees were planted. This for a farmer would be generally the course giving the most immediate returns. On a plot four years in fruit, he had for three successive years raised 3 tons of hay to the acre. On the grass he put if 15 to the acre of baugh’s Superphos phate, and no crop of grain or vege tables would probably have yielded as much as the hay. ‘if low-branch ing trees are used, after a while they will occupy the whole ground, but by that time they will be in full bearing. Mr. Martin planted apple trees 25 to 30 feet apart, with peach trees be tween them one way, and two row's of blackberries between the apples and peaches, and two rows of straw berries betw'een the blackberries, and cultivated them all. Mr. Coffren placed his peach trees on the sod and threw earth on the roots; on hi land holes would hold water. 1i ts planted peaches on the mountain sit!' l -, where scarce earth enough can tie had to cover the roots, and there they do best. Mr. Iloopes said the diseases of fruit trees are the results of causes which have their origin in carle&s ness or ignorance. Deep planting is one error. To plant a tree rather shallower than it formerly stood is the right w;ay, whilst many plant a tree as they would a post. Roots are of two kinds—the young and tender rootlets, composed entirely of cells, and which are the feeders of the tree, always found near the surface getting air and moisture, their food always being taken in the form of vapor— and roots of over one year old, which servo only as surporters of the trees and as conductors of its food. Hence the injury whieli ensuoe when the delicate rootlets are so deeply buried in the earth. Raspberries were cited as a particular illustration of the ad vantage of shallow planting, and a trial was recommended of setting tw T o rows, one deeply planted and the other with the roots just covered. Placing fresh or green manure in contact with the young roots is an other great error. r l he place to put manure is on the sui face, where the elements disintegra c, dissolve and carry it downwards. Numerous forms of fungi are gi iterated and re produced by the application of such manures directly to the roots, and they immediately attack the tree. Mr. Parry had not much faith in great preparation of soils for fruit planting, and it is unnecessary. An elevated position is generally best, and more naturally drained, drainage being an essential. A clay subsoil, overlaid by a sandy loam, is the best for fruit. If the soil is poor, it must be enriched; if wet, it must be drain ed. Commended the ridging system, which he had seen practiced on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Mr. P. Morris refered to the instance of the nursery grounds of Win. Reed ofN. J. which were well drained, deep ploughed, stiff soil. Th > trees had the most extraordinary roots he had ever seen from any nursery. Ile said there were many cases w'here the clay subsoil comes within four inches of the surface, and at such places subsoiling and draining were necessities. Sometimes a very yel low subsoil is converted into a good manure by the influence of the air. Cited an instance of a man who dug a cellar and threw out such stiff clay that he was afraid to put on his land or in his barn yard, and which he threw out on the sides of the pub lic road, where, the next year, it pro duced the finest white clover ever seen in that section. Mr. Engel objected to subsoiling, on the ground that soils naturally compact soon relapsed to that condi tion after the process, and that loose ones did not need it. Favored rather the gradual turning up and mixing with the surface of the subsoil, put ting on manure, turning under clover, buckwheat, &c., and thus ameliora ting as well as breaking up the under soil. AN EW DISCOVERY IN HORTI CULTURE. On the authority of a translation from a French journal, an exchange announces the discovery that by wa tering vegetables and fruit trees with a solution of sulphate of iron, (cop eras,) the most astonishing results are obtained. Applied to growing lieans, they gained 60 per cent, on their ordinary size, while flavor was much improved. Fruit trees were greatly benefited by a watering with this solution, the pear tree especially being improved in thriftiness of growth and productiveness. If our gardeners and fruit growers desire to make experiments in this direc tion, they can be made very cheaply, as copperas can be purchased at wholesale at about three cents per pound.— Rural Southener.
