NINETY'-NIKE IN THE SHADE.
A MACON OPS, »T WATSON.

Oh for a lodge m ■ gardan of coeumbora!
Oh for an ntbtrij or two at control!
Oh for a rala which at midday the dew
cumbers!
Oh for a pleaanre trip up to the pole!
Oh lorn tittleooo-otory thermometer.
With nothing oat zoroe all ranged in •
rowl
Oh for a Mg doable-barret hydrometer.
To meaaare tbia moisture that runs from
ay brow I
Oh that this cold world were twenty times
colder!
(That's irony, red hot, it seemeth to me,)
Oh for a turn of its dreaded odd shoulder I
Oh what a comfort an ague would be!
Oh for a grotto to typify heaTen,
Scooped in the rock under cataract east!
Oh for a winter of discontent, seen!
Oh for a wet blanket judiciouslT east!
Oh tmr a soda fount spouting up boldly
From every hot lamp post against tbo
hot sky!
Oh for a proud maiden to look on me coldly,
Freezing my soul with a glance of her
eye!
Then for a draft from a ‘cup of ool* pizan !'
And oh for a resting place in the oold
gr*re!
With a bath in the Styx, where the thick
shallow lias on
And deepens the obill of the dark ran
ning were!

“Hoope" are dangerous things to fool

“Does the razor take hold well?" asked
tbs smiling barber. "Yes,” replied the
i.nhappy victim, “it takes hold well, but it
don't lot go worth a cent."
There are two gallons of whisky per
year manufactured for each inhabitant of
the United States, and it's a dear case that
somebody's got to go without.
The use of the editorial "we” is illustrat
ed by a Southern paper as follows: "If we
eeaape the hog cholera this season, there
will be a large surplas of of pork next win

A lady acquaintance the fol
lowing conundrum: Wbst is the worst
case of youthful profanity mentioned m the
Scriptures? Job, who cursed, the day he
was born.
This ia-the kind'of weather that makes a
man wish either that Adam hadn't been so
successful as a backslider, or that some
patriot would'invent a pair of linen trousers
that button around the neck and kafe arm

Mask Twain, speaking of anew mosquito

Now is the time for lovers to get spoony
over ice cream, she taking a few pretty
dabs at hia vanilla, and he borrowing a

A clergyman observing a poor man by

A Weatside man who saw a load of coal
at a boose and arranged to go over and
borrow part of it after the other man went
to bed, got around that night and found
that it had all been put in the cellar and
oarefully locked up before nightfall. He
remarked the next day that it was shocking
to s« e how little trustfulness people seemed
to have in human nature.
A New Jersey editor loat his best gold
pen and holder a few days ago. After
making a thorough search all over the office
end accusing a dozen tramps of its theft,
he happened to remember where he last
placed it, and bending down the top of his
ear, discovered no less than fourteen pen
holders of various styles which he had lost
hi the last twelve months.
He waltaed out es the front door, follow
ed by a washboard and two bars of soap
and as he straigbtend himself and walked
down the street, he remarked: “A man
must draw the line somewhere or he can't
be boss of the house; and 111 be banged if
111 pump more than one barrel of water for
WO washing, and there ain't no woinau can
make me do it, unless she locks me in."

Hints Fob Tst Month.
Os oourse shallow culture is the iilea
now. Keep the sweeps running in all
summer cultivated crops, and always let
this work lay by the crop clean, and free
of all notions weeds or grass. The far
mer who bag kept bis crops clean until
tbis date, has now little trouble ahead,
and with the resignation of a Christian
man, who has done the best be could
with the talents committed nnto him, we
must now leave the rest with him who
doeth all things well.
Having harvested a fine provender and
oread crop, we must not be content with
that, but continue to labor so as to pre
vent s recurrence of the cry of scarcity
of food. To this end we advise, enlarge
yonr esculent crops, flow peas in late
corn, or in drills. Tbeshiney (speckled)
pea will make a full crop sown in July.
Cnt |x>tato vinca fifteen inches loDg,
plant them as yon would slips, burying
the middle and leaving both ends out.
Sow largely of turnips. Plant a second
crop of Irish potatoes. If August is a
seasonable mouth they will be very fine,
and may be eaten all the winter as they
are taken from the ground.
It is a shame upon us, that any fanner
in the South should ever lack the ability
to spread a bountifully supplied table.
Almost every month in the year we
should plant something that would give
ns at harvest time food for man or beast,
remombering that “bacon and greens"
shonld not constitute the bill of fare of a
well-to-do Southern farmer. Wo have
had want staring us in the face annually
in many parts of the South since the
war. Let us provide against such trials
in the future by beginning to-dny to pre
vent it.
Threshing grain will oonsume much
time this month. If tbis is done by a
"traveling thresher,” bo sure to require
the owner to run his thresher at least ten
minutes before you allow a bundle of
your grain to enter it; and require this
as soon as he finishes one crop, before
he begins upon another kind of grain,
otherwise you ean never have pure grain.
Cheat, smut, oookle, and disease, are of
ten spread by these travelling threshers.
If time can be had, don’t let it be
called idle. Spend it in olearing up
about the premises. Iteraember that
cleanliness is a fee to tniusma and a pre
ventive of doctor’s bills.
[Sural Carolinian.
Flat Tiuimih may be put in from the
30th of this to the same dale in next
month, the crop from late sowing not be
ing so large usually in quantity but bet
ter keeper*. A sandy loam, naturally
good, or well enriched, is the best Bail
for these roots, and newly oleaned land
or a fresh turned sod seems to snit them
better than any other ground. Super
phosphates are peculiarly grateful to
these crops, and ashes also muke a valu
able application. The land ought to be
well plowed and harrowed. The seed
are generally sown broadoast, and light
ly harrowed or brushed in. Sow as soon
after the ground is proparod as possible,
as the seed germinate quick and so es
cape the fly.
Fodder Corn-—A crop of tbia may be
put iu up to the middle or even the end
of the month. Its value will be appreci
ated if needed either for me wheu green
or cured. Sow in furrows or drills from
two and a half to three foot wide. Rim
the cultivator through the rows two or
three times. Out when the pollen falls
freely from the tassels. If to be cured it
shonld be out and put up in moderate
sized shocks, or, if convenient, piled
agaiust the fences, making the layers say
a foot thick. When fully cured remove
under oover.
Hat Harvbst. —This, too, will need
to be forwarded as much as possible.
Timothy especially requires to be out
before the seed so fully mature as to
allow the quality of the hay to deterior
ate. The best time to cut is when the
seed iu the milk etxte, and eve should
be taken not to out too olose to the
ground, whioh injures its future growth.
This gross should be cured as quickly as
possible and gotten under oover.
Live Stock. —See that working ani
mals are fed and watered regularly. Put
tar iu ths troughs of sheep as a protec
tion against the fly. A little salt sprink
led will ensure its application to their
noses. Hogs ought to have the run of a
clover field now, or some green food.
Fade Potatoes. —Keep these dean by
frequent workings uutil they are in blos
som. No crop is more injured by weeds
aud grass. An occasional top-dressing
of ashes, salt and plaster mixed—say one
bushel each to the acre—will be found
serviceable.
Fences. — After harvest have these
looked over and necessary repairs made,
and dean out the oorners.
Vegetables should never be washed
until immediately before being prepared
for the table. Lettuce is made almost
worthless in flavor by being dipped in
water some hours before being served.
Potatoes sutler more than other vege
tables through the washing process.—
They should uot he put in water until
just ready for boiling.

TESTIMONIALS.
Atlanta, July Ist, 1874.
DR. BIGGERB- Dear Sir : In the use
of your Southern Remedy in my family, I
have found it the most pleasant medicine
for children to take, and the most satisfac
tory to cure I have ever met: I have used
it now for several years, and never allow
myself to be wiihout some of it on band,
and its immediate use saves all trouble and
danger. I have always felt that if you had
no other claim to the public confidence
thau this specific, it alone should give it to
you, and troth fame aud furtune added, if
yon would only sufficiently advertise it to
let the world know its healing power and
benefits. Rcspootfnlly,
O. A. LOCHRANE.

Supreme Court of Georgia.
EUREKA! EUREKA! (I have found it.)
My Wife and two children wore down
with Bloody Flux, We had two doctors,
as good as any in the city, and found no
relief. My baby, 7 months old, while
teething, was expected to die for two
weeks, when being induced to try Dr. Rig
gers' Southern Remedy, the relief of each
was marvelous, aud are at present doing
well. I tried it on myself for the same
disease, and it proved a success.
