SONG.
BY CELIA THAXTEK.
I wore your roses yesterday ;
About this light robe’s fold of white,
Wherein thei< gathered sweetness lay,
Still dings their perfume of delight,
An 1 all in vain the warfn wind sweeps
These airy folds like vapor fine,
Among them the odor sleeps,
And haunts me with a dream divine.
So to my heart your memory clings,
Eternal summer-time it brings,
Defying all the storms of late ;
A power to turn the darkness bright,
Till life with matchless beauty glows ;
Each moment touched with tender light,
And every thought of you a rose!
Experience with Jute in Louisiana,
Mr. L. Lefrano, of New Orleans,
who has devoted much attention to the
culture of both jute and ramie, in
forms „the department of agriculture
that he has succeeded in raising the
first regular crop in America, of which
he recently shipped nineteen bales to
the markets of St. Louis and New York,
to be tested by the manufacturers.
His crop was raised in Plaquemine
Parish, Louisiana, and he believes the
cultivation of the fiber will be rapidly
multiplied by other planters of * that
section. Mr. Lefranc writes to the de
partment as follows :
“As explained before, this jute fiber
was decorticated from dried plants
which had already given their seed. It
is the second product of the stalks,
and for that reason the staple may not
be highly classed in comparison with the
India article worked in green. But I
have put enough of good quality in the
bales to prove that we can advantage
ously compete against foreign jute.
The decorticating machine cleans it
more thoroughly and secures a larger
quautum of strong filament than the
ordinary Hindostan. The refuse of the
machine is good for paper.
Regarding the economy of this new
industry I am now practically satisfied
that the figures of cost I have given in
my treatise were sufficiently high. Our
expenses for cultivation scarcely reach
$4.75 per acre; for multiplication, sls.
These are still subject to improvement
wherever a closer organization can be
established.
The yield is also satisfactory. Wher
ever the stand was normal, we obtained
the proportion of one ton per acre. In
average the lint is of over two pounds
per foot high on the surtaoe of an acre,
and the plant averages ten feet in any
favorable season, and in rich, moist
land.”
Mr. Lefrance speaks very confidently
of his success in organizing the labor
of this new and promising industry.
His machine, he says, is actually a pro
ducing fact. It works very well, and
on dried stalks, which have first fur
nished their seed, as well as on green
plants, thus securing the important re
sult of obtaining both seed and fiber
from the crop. The fiber obtained is
strong and fine enough to bring from
four and a half to five cents a pound,
in gold. The faculty of working the
plant dried is important, as it extends
the manipulating period through the
dull winter season, when labor is abun
dant and cheap. Mr. Lefranc remarks:
‘ ‘ The production or yield is as large
as the ability of the feeding hands can
reach. The bunches of fifteen or
twenty stalks engaged at the time are
almost instantly transformed into clean
alament. Hemp, ramie, hibiscus, and
any long fibrous plant are equally well
treated by the apparatus, which capac
ity and power can be increased so as to
produce tons and tons daily.”
I hese assertions are based on true,
practical facts, and as soon as they will
be believed and applied in our“long
tsxtile growing sections, the country
will cease to be tributary for our actual
enormous import of foreign staple.
1 rom new obsevations, I can r 6 assert
that ordinary jute growth gives an av
erage of at least one ton per acre of
liber, and that the whole cost of pro
duction will not exceed $25. In good,
moist land jute grows ten feet in aver
age, and has one-third of its body in
liter. The mower and reaper applied
on wheat cut jute perfectly well.
Uenerons Applause.
1 here is nothing so dispiriting to a
pnbhc speaker or actor who speaks
before an audience too cold, too apa
thetic to applaud. The Louisville

Ga > which should
awaken the reader to a sense of the en
couraging effect of applause : “ This

HORTICULTURAL HINTS FOR SEP
TEMBER.
The month opens what may be called
our second spring, and if we take ad
vantage of it, we may have an abund
ance of most kinds of vegetables in our
gardens during the fall and winter, es
pecially here in the low oountry. Some
times great care and frequent re-plant
ings are necessary to secure a stand, s©
hot is the snn and so violent the rains,
bnt perseverance generally crowns our
efforts with success. Our directions
must be mainly the same as for last
month. Most operations that were neg
lected or failed in August, may, in
this latitude, be repeated now.
Cabbages must be transplanted for
winter heading, and seed sown for
spring cabbages. European seed is
generally recommended as best, but we
have always succeeded with American
seed. Continue to sow turnips and
kohlrabi, also beets, carrots, Swiss
chard and parsnips, if you failed to get
a stand last month. To protect tender
young plants, as cabbage, beets, car
rots, ete., from the sun and beating
rains, set bushes between the rows, re
clining a little over them; or lay bushes
on crotches, raised three or four feet
above the bed.
Lettuce, radishes, spinach, mustard,
will do well planted this month ; and,
in the low country, snap beans are still
in order for planting during the first
week, and will do well if the fall be
favorable. Onions, also, for the main
crop, if not already planted, may now
be got in.
Prepare lands for orchards and vine
yards. New land is best, and it need
not be rich for either peaches or grapes.
A stronger soil for apples and pears is
desirable. November and December
are the beet months for planting trees
and vines generally, but it is well to
have the land prepared, and the holes
dug in advance.
Strawberry beds should now be pre
pared ; and if you have young plants
and the weather favors, plant during
the month, watering and shading the
plants, if necessary. When planting
on a larger scale than the garden’s limit
we prefer later planting. It is too early
to have plants shipped from a distance.
In the flower garden, bulbs of the
early flowering plants, taken up last
spring, should be set out during the
present month, including snow drops,
narcissus, Iris, jonquils, crocus and
hyacinths. Sow stock, pink, pansy,
larkspur, mignonette, and other hardy
annual, biennial and perennial plants ;
an 1 set out rose, geranium and other
cuttings.
To increase your supply of house
plants, if desirable, you may take up
from the open ground, and put in pots,
young volunteer seedlings of various
annuals, such as salvia, zinnia, babam,
amaranth, nasturtain, thunbergia,
French marigold, etc., which, if proper
ly cared for, will bloom in the winter,
make your window shelves beautiful,
and cost nothing.
Cremation on a Brand Scale.
More than four years ago a young
Hindoo Prince, only 22, who ruled over
one of the most extensive provinces in
India, and was a strong ally of Great
Britain, stopping at one of the Florence
hotels, on his way home from London
to his native country, was taken sick
and died after a short illness. He was
attended by a numerous suite, who, to
show their grief for the loss of their
beloved prince, astonished the Indians
by their mysterious Oriental funeral
ceremonies. On the night of the first
of December, lr7o, on the very spot
where his monument now stands, they
prepared the pile upon which they per
formed tne rite of burning the dead
body of their ruler. They mixed with
large quantities of wood immense com
pounds of camphor and odorous oint
ments, upon which robed iu his splendid
vestments, and surrounded by his most
personal and precious ornaments, they
laid the remains of their young rajah.
The pile was lighted about midnight,
and burned till near morning. The
venerable Brahmin directed the cere
mony, and, nainglina his prayers with
those of other faithful servants, made
the groves resound with their 1 amenta
tious. At break of day the ashes of the
Prince were collected into a golden vase
which now rests in the sacred temple of
his native India. In June of 1874 the
English government erected a splendid
monument to his memory on the spot
where his body was burned. —Spring

Feckles—Their Cure.— What shall
a young and otherwise handsome lady
do to get rid of freckles on the skin ?
Answer—Freckles are not easily washed
out of those who have a florid com
plexion and are much in the sunshine,
but the following washes are not only
harmless, but very much the best of
any we know : Grate horse-radish fine,
let it stand a few hours in
then strain and use the wash night and
morning. Or squeeze the juice of a
lemon into half a goblet of water and
use the same way. Most of the reme
dies for friokles are poisonous and can
not be used with safety. Freckles in
dicate a defective digestion, and con
sist iD deposits of some carbonaceous
or fatty matter beneath the scurf skin.
The diet should be attended to, and
should be of a nature that the bowels
and kidneys will do their duty. Dailv
bathing with much friction should not
be neglected, and the Turkish bath
taken occasionally, if it is convenient.

SCRUPLE'.
From The Saturday Review.
There are some things of which we
should have neither too much nor too
little; and among these are scruples.
Unscrupulous is a term of just reproach;
the unscrupulous man is dangerous in
whatever capacity we have to deal with
him, but the man of scruples is net
therefore desirable as such. He may
be eligible and deserving, but we should
like him better without his scruples, for
nothing is a graver barrier in social mat
ters than obtrusive scruples which we
do not share. Scruples are essentially
private things; when two people agree
together in an objection of an opinion,
we view it in another light, and prob
ably call it something else. Semples
represent private judgment exercising
itself in small matters; that ic, they ap
pear small to common sense or to prev
alent public opinion, though they are
large and predominant to the scrupu
lous mind. Not that scruples are inde
pendent of the prevailing tone of thought
in the world, bat they are the means by
which some persons take their share in
it, and they constitute the originality of
a certain class of intellect—they furnish
an opportunity for that self-assertion
which is a natural object with thinkers
of every class and grade.
Of course virtue has scruples. The
minuter duties of morality have, we
may say, an equal obligation with the
weightier matters of the law ; but in
one case public opinion is accepted as
exponent aDd interpreter, while the
scrupulous conscience owns no law bat
itself, and sees no further than the let
ter. Honesty of the straightforward
social sort agrees that it is a sin to steal
a pin, but it does as it would be done
by ; and, holding itself justified by the
general usage, it takes the pin on an
emergency and does not call it stealing.
The scrupulous person goes pinless at
the cost of being a less competent and
efficient member of the body politic,
but is not the less confident and satis
fled. The scruples which fairly tear
the character of scrupulosity are those
which warp the judgment and obscure
the perception of the relative import
ance of things. The man who is gov
erns, and by them may be a guide to him
self, tut he is no guide for others; his
conscience and his reason are not on
sufficiently good terms. And it may be
observed that nobody can be sorupnlous
all round ; a pet scruple often makes a
clean sweep of collatteral obligations.
The scrupulous temper is liable to large
and eccentric omission where the con
science is off its guard. People can not
aot as members of a family or a com
munity whose notions of private duty
cover all their view and engross their
attention.
We live in this world in many capac
ities, all imposing moral duties, of which
common sense has to adjust the claims
where they seem conflicting; but com
mon sense, even candid and unselfish
common sense, is despised and abhorred
by the mind possessed by a scruple, or
regulating itself by a code of scruples.
The duties that can not be reconciled,
or will not fit in, are set aside—over
looked as not of obligation. We know
of a clergyman who had a scruple against
reading any of the words in italics
which occurred in the lessons for the
day. He simply passed them over as
not dictated by inspiration. It was in
different to him that he made nonsense
of the Word of God, which it was his
office to set forth ; he saw one side of
his duty so very plainly that he saw
nothing else, and we need not say was
utterly unpersuadable. Nor need
scruples be of this absurd type to show
an equal want of grasp of the leading
idea. It would appear that the capac
ity for a large general view is never
found in conjunction with this micro
scopic activity of conscience. All
scruples are conscientious, and carry
with them a sort of religions obligation.
But it depends on the character how
deep this goes. Many people scruple
to play a rubber who will plunge into
reckless speculation without a twinge.
It was a conscientious scruple which
induced Pepys, on receiving a letter and
discerning money in it, to empty the
letter before he read it, “that I might
say I saw no money in the paperand
this is only a type of the action of a
great many scrupulous persons, who
desire to profit by the consequences of
a certain oonrse of action without incur
ring the responsibility of it. And,
short of this, Bcrnples constantly stand
in the way of an honest perception of
right by stopping at the letter. A mind
given to small scruples has the judg
ment in leading-strings, and often misses
the flash of truth amid the minute ques
tions which occupy it. Perhaps the
most com non form of hypocrisy is this
self-deception.
But, on the other hand, it is no easy
matter to settle what are scruples—that
is, conscientious demurs about small
things. What were treated as such at
one time are afterwards discovered to
be broad principles. Reformers are
charged with scruples and unnecessary
niceties, but the scrupulous temper
which fastens naturally on minutiae is
not the reforming temper. The so called
scruples of some minds have founded
sec a and parlies, and changed the face
of society. It was quoted as an absurd
scruple wheii Lady Huntingdon, then
“ queen of the Methodists,” having got
her danghter named lady of the bed
chamber to the princesses, resigned the
appointment, as she would not let her
play cards on Sunday. Society would
not apply this term to such an objection
now. Real scruples, the growth of a
certain habit of mind are not catching,
we suspect; they are characteristics,
though oircamstances may befriend and
develop them. Yet every age has itj
own fashion of scruples. A formula
which at one period everybody accepts
without doubt cr hesitation, at arother
suggests scruples at every t orn—not the
same, but fittirg the temper of objec‘or.
To himself they seem original, the birth
of his own questioning intellect, and in
fact with a family resemblance to his
own mind ; but the age is responsible
for this particular form. Scruples he
would have had ten, twenty, or fifty
years age, bnt not these particular
scruples. Originality is but a relative
term. It is much more original, for in
stance, in these days, to start a difficulty
about eating ohickens or rabbits till the
eater is satisfied that the rule of the
Apostolic church has been observed as
to the manner of their killing, than to
have scruples about the Thirty-nine
Articles ; for, to most people, the first
question has been settled for and
all, ages ago, the other is a habit of the
day, and scruples are contageous.
Scruples that interfere with the easy
flow of social intercourse, and induce a
sense of estrangement and incongrnity,
will always be equally unpopular. Scru
ples of dress, diet, diction, precision of
statement, humanity, amusement, ultra
honesty, ultra veracity, arc of this class,
as setting up a higher standard than the
current one.
The sensation at Watch Hill, this sea

Miss Maria R. Audubon, grand-daugh

taught to swim by her father almost be

One of the hardest things to do is to
let well enough alone, and this is not
less strange than the fascination which
prompted a man to pick tip a hot poker
