;; /arm nab ®oust!;o[b. r Old-time Customs. Prom the Southern Cultivator. To the progressive, successful far mer, there is no period in the year of nbsohttot rest. One operation com pleted, another springs up before him. One crop made, another waits to be started He keeps step to the " ceaseless round ” of nature —no jar rings, no clashings, no stagnating— his movements are indefinitely varied, but perfectly harmonious, Just how, however, iu a Southern farmer’s life, there is a period of com- : parutive rest. 11 is corn and cotton J crops have been laid by; the cease- j less study on his part to make no i false step, to make every “ lick tell,” and to save his crop from grass, which, during the months of May and June, with great persistence and power as serts its birthright to the soil —these heavy draughts upon his brain hare ceased. His laborers, too, after hard and incessant work for many weeks, may now be allowed to slacken their gait and breathe more freely. In the olden times it was customary to cel ebrato the victory won, by a barbe cue for the hands, and, in many local ities, by social dinners and mutual inspection of each other’s farms by the farmers. For these good old practices, broken up by fanatics, van dals and thieves, we desire to enter a plea. They were founded in true wisdom, and should survive the changes through which wo have passed. Those who aro familiar with the negro character, know how much he appreciates little favors. He is too much like a child to bo very grateful. You may treat him well in general, and pay him liberal wages— these he will consider matters of right, and will leave you at the ond of the year to join one who tickles his imag ination with big tales. But “ oeca sious,” frolics, celebrations, etc., sink deep in his heart and memory. In olden times, how hard the negro would work at a log rolling or corn shucking, for drink of whisky and the privilege of joining in the song and the laugh. Asa matter of pol icy, then, have a barbecue when your cron is laid by; invite to it not only the regular hands on yonr farm, but auoh day laborers as you may have employed, and who Lave behaved well. Do not invite the trifling fol lows about you, who would not work with any regularity, but only at those push of times," when extravagant wages could be exacted. Leave them *t in the coid—maybe they will do better next year, A revival of the eld-lime practices will not be con strued by them into courting or pan dering on your part, bnt be regarded as evidence of a kind heart and of a good man; and next Christmas you will find Uneasy to make contraote with them. We have the profound eat contempt for the white mau who brings himself down to the level of the negro, and ofens the way to so- cial equality. But as the negro is almost oi)r Bole dependence for oora mon laborers, it h neither wrong nor beneath tbe self-respect of a gentle man to control him by indirect ap peals to peculiarities of his nature. It implies neither taking advantage of the negro, nor a lowering of the dig nity of the employer, and it docs no wrong to one’s neighbor. The nexyhborhood club is another of the good old institutions which ought to be revived everywhere. So cially considered, thay were delight fhl; as a means of progress, as slim ulanta to enterprise, energy and men tal activity, they were beyond value. They accomplished much more than county and State societies. There was no room for sham—for one rich acre well cultivated to brag on, and fifty acres |*oor and grassy, hardly paying the expense of cuUira’don. Their tendency was to stimulate oach man to have his farm, including hou ses, stock and crops, in such condi tion that ho would be proud to have them seen. Each one strove to be equal with -the best farmer in the neighborhood. An “esprit de corps” was developed, and every one “ mag nified ” his calling. Now is a fitting time to revive these clubs—the busi ness of the farm does not revuire the eloae personal attention demanded duripg the past four or five months, and the mind seeks relaxation from its long strain, in social interconrsc. If a few in each settlement move in the matter, others will very rapidly be drawn in. Cain’s Foot Broth for the Sick. Boil two feet in three quarts of wa ter until it is wasted to three pints.

VEGETABLE The startling drawback on nearly all me dicinal agents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification they have also deb'litated the system. To obviate this difficulty physicians have long sought for an agent that would purge, purifyand strengthen at one and the same time. Their research has at last been rewarded by a dis covery which fuliy realizes the fondest desires of the medical faculty, and which is justly regarded as the most important triumph that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This import ant desideratum is Dr. Tutl’s Vegetable Liver Pills, which purify the blood and remove all corrupt humors and unhealthy accumulations from the body, and yet produce no weakness or lassitude whatever, but, on the contrary, tone the stomach and invigorate the body timing the progress of their operation. They unite the heretofore irreconcilable qualities of a strengthening purgative and a purifying tonic. Dr. Tutt’s Pills are the most active and searching medicine in existence. They at once attack the very root of disease, and their action is so prompt, that in an hour or two after they are taken the patient is aware of their good effects. They may be taken at any time without restraint of diet or occupa tion; they produce neither nausea, griping or debility, and as a family medicine they have no riVal. Price 25 cents a box.
