The Brooklyn Argus says the dissolving view he presented of tho imfiiortnlTiiv- ingslone, with scarcely enough clothes on him, as lias been happily remarked, to wad a alugle-bnrrcl shot-gun, flying in dismay before the imaginary apparition of Scipio Africanus Stanley, brought tear* to tho eyes of tho tnoab hardened wretch present.

That beginning con' lists in creating no neir debt*, l’ay up hereafter and sink incumbrnnees by In stallment*. But you must, have this, that and the other? No, you must not,if you have not got tho money to pay for it. Fight the good fight of self-denial and lay hold of simple corn bread for radons, rather than incroaso the amount of your indebtedness. Sot before your soul the blossodnos* of tho man whom nobody owns by being his creditor and whom no body can dun. Tub best "patrons of husbandry" w< know of aro the women. Don't wo rood "the world was sad—the garden was !T cold, otc., etc., till woman chopped down tho weeds and nudortrash with her littl grubbing hoo—cleared out all tlio fcuce- cornera and made everything ready for crapping ? Therefore when theso boasted patrons of husbandry in broodies pntc<V the woman with Cores. Pomona, and ruch like inanities, they don’t comprehend tho situation at all. There's no husbandry of any kind worth a cent till woman takes a hand at the business and then it begins. Woman is worsliipful mistress of that lodge. . Kit Karson.—One of the most read able books, especially for boys, that we hitto looked oyer lately, is a narrative of tho life and adventures of this famous frontiersman, a copy of which Minors. Brown & Co. send us. Carson is perhaps tho best known man of his class that has ever lived in this country, and tho story of his career and wonderful adventures is of intense interest. It is told by J. S. C. Abbott, who, we have reason to believe, ' has not, according to his usual custom, overdrawn tho picture. For a Christmas present to a boy fond of wild adventures and hair-breadth escapes, this book would bo just the thing. '^tii frmil/ of the war, being forced by tho gunboats of the Yan kees to change their baao from tho sea board, to a log shanty m Baker connty, never enjoyed oa good health in their Jivfs, as during-tlie year thus spent ol most ont of doors. Constructed of log* covered with clapboards, without ceiling, and glimpses of the stars to bo bad through the open shingle roof, they were yet •fmedariy face from quids in the se ven- ,t wenthtr in tbul frail habitation, though reared in ceiled and plastered houses, ’ ■ We make it a rule also to raise one window at least, at night, even in tho dead of winter. How can Dr. Hall’s notions be reconciled with tho fact that persons with diseased longs, oro recom mended to join bunting parties to tho West, and sleep for months without shelter on tho open prairie. We have ScOtl invalids greatly benefit tod by such jaunts. When iB the open air heavily clad in furs sud^orer garments;-with the thermometer at or below zero, is there not the greatest possible disparity be tween the warmth of tho body, and tbo air wo breatho ? Yet who calls such ex posure unhealthy. Draughts of courso should bo guarded against, bnt wo believe a plentiful sup ply of pure wholesomo air, it matters not how cold it may bo if the body and chest are Sept warm, is for more conducive to health and vigor, than tho semi-putrid atmosphere of a closo and heated dum ber, which perhaps is breatliod over nnd over again by a half dozen persons.

A Key West correspondent of the Tri bune wjritcs that tho business of cigar making from Havana tobacco, at that place, is almost entirely in tbe bands of Cuban refugees. There are about 15 fac tories. largo and small (mostly small,) and they employ about 1/100 hands. The wages vary from 918 to $45 a week, and as not only men bat women and children are employed, many families have a re spectable income. .The cigar, made may well bo mistaken for a genuine Havana, and is intended to compete with it. No pains are spared to make it first-class and Havana-like. The Havana tobacco uklhT7 Havana hands manipulate it, and in some cases even tho water used in tho manufacture of the cigar is imported from Havana. The result is an article which proves a most acceptable substitute, and would deceive 99 smokers out of n 100. It is sold at 33 per cent, less than the bast Havana brands, and then proves re munerative. The average monthly pro- duel' of; tlio factories is about 1,000,000 eigars, “DuiairtrUioT^l lias foreclosed more and fifty-Hens-irrU Grant, Alexander A Co. propose to bnilil a railroad from Toccoa city on the Air Line road to Elberton, if the people of Elbert county will raise ?1 naytheyiciin bare it finis spring. The Hon. Martin J.

Oars was mado principally by aliens, strangers and fools. Therefore, just so soon as our impoverished people can stand the bur den of a convention, it should bo called, that tbe wickedness and folly unjustly fastened upon us may bo changed into wise nnd judicious Laws, and our people indulge themselves in the freedom and luxury of a government of their own.
