T ’lIE BOARD of Commissioners of the “Georgia

those interested, to this Institution as being now in readi
ness for the reception of pupils. The enlargement and
repairs of the building, provided for by the Legislature
of 1)^55 and 1856, have been entirely completed, and
the whole edifice, being well arranged, and happily
adapted to the education of this unfortunate class, pre
sents a most tasteful appearance. Comfortable accom
modations can now be furnished for over one hundred
pupils. Will not the friends of thie Institution in every
county in the State, under whose eye this notice may
fall, urge the parents of all indigent Deaf Mutes to
send on their children and avail themselves of this noble
clmrity which the State has generously provided for
their wants? We particularly solicit the aid and co-oper
ation of all ministers of the gospel of every denomina
tion, in behalf of the Asylum, and request them to as
certain the residence and Post Office address of all the
parents of deaf mutes in the State, and inform the
Board of the same.
Those who make application as beneficiaries should
bring a certificate signed by two or more Justices of the
Inferior Court of the county iu which such applicant
resides, certifying that he or she is over seven ami un
der twenty-four years old. in indigent circumstances,

I wish I had a dozen pairs

Here’s a big washing to be done—
One pair of hands to do it—
Sheets, shirts and stockings coats, and pants,
How will I e’er get through it.
Dinner to get for six or more.
No loaf left o'er for Sunday;
And baby cross as he can live,
He’s alawys so on Monday.
And there's the cream, ’tis getting sour,
And must forthwith be churning;
And here's Bob wants a button on—
Which way shall I be turning?
’Tis time the meat was in the pot,
The bread was worked for baking,
The clothes were taken from the boil—

Hush, baby dear, there, hush—h—sh!

Oh dear! oh dear, if P—comes home,
And finds things in fids bother,
He'll just begin and tell me all
About his tidy mother!
How nice her kitchen used to be—
Her diuner always ready
Exactly when the noon bell rang—
Hush hush! dear little Freddy!
And then will come some hasty word
Right out before I’m thinking—
Thay say that hasty words from wives

Now isn’t that a great idea,
That men should take to sinning,
Because a weary half sick wife,
Can’t always smile so winning!
When I was young I used to earn

And hours of leisure double.

From the Cotton Planter.
Plantation Work for April,
Whether or not the necessary prepara
tions of the soil have been made, which
will secure the fullest prosperity of the
crop now being planted, is not a matter of
present inquiry, as it is now too late to
materially change it. The wise and pru
dent planter will note the various influences
affecting tlie crop as it progresses to
maturity, with a view of improving here
after such defect as his experience shall
detect in the preparation'. The time and
attention of fhe planter being now, as has
been the case for perhaps twenty days
past, engaged in the very inportant work
of planting his seed, it would answer no
valuable purpose to further cumber his at
tention. Seed time is now at hand, and it
behooves every planted to be up and doing.
Having planted the corn crop by this time,
and perhaps having all your cotton land
bedded up, you may be now ready to com
mence planting the seed with the first of
the month; if, however, there be any
preparatory work claiming your attention,
and tlie weather he at all lowering or
changeable, to defer the planting of cotton
seed to the lOtli of the month, is good and
prudent economy. There is nothing after
proper preparation of the soil by pulveriza
tion and fertilization, that so certainly
contributes to the success of a cotton crop,
as the early continued, prosperous growth
of the young plant after coming up, which
can only be secured by planting the seed
at the proper season. Then we emphatical
ly say to the planter, in this and higher
latitudes, from many years’ experience
and carefully noted observation, and we
assert it, without the fear of successful
contradiction, that if there be any portion
of your cotton land imperfectly prepared or
roughly bedded, the first ten days of April
cannot he so profitably employed with all
your force in any other work as in properly
preparing such laud previous to planting
your cotton seed. When your land is
all properly prepared, your plans all suit
ably devised aud arranged, with the neces
sary appliances in tlie way of drills and
harrows in hand, the auspicious season ar
riving, your cotton crop may be planted
in a very few days, and well planted.
There is no reasonable over-estimate to be
made of tlie time employed in doing this
work well—its advantages arc perceptibly
felt in expediting all the subsequent work
of the crop.
Too many of our planting friends, not
withstanding the importance of the cotton
crop attach hut very little importance to
the manner of planting the seed. Every
planter knows tlie value of a good stand,
yet very few appreciate the value of .a
good and proper stand of cotton plants on
the land. I3y this we mean to he under
stood the exact number of plants per acre
that should stand on the land, and tlie re- j
lative position they shall sustain to each |
other. A perfect stand, and the best of
course, is to have standing on tlie land the
number of plants, properly distributed, that
the soil may he able to supply with food to
the best advantage. It is to the interest,
manifestly, of every planter to ascertain
and know before commencing to plant his
seed—which we may with a very good
degree of certainty—the quantity and
value of the fertility contained in his soil
intended tor any crop. The cotton plant
derives, as do all plants, much of its food
from tlie atmosphere, hut to enable tlie plant
to receive and appropriate this food so as
to convert it into fruit, it is necessary that
the art and judgement of the planter be
brought into requisition. You may have
your plants so thick on the land as to re
quire a larger quantity of soluble fertility
than the soil contains; the result is spind
ling, imperfect plants; they arc stunned,
and have no vigor from the soil, and have
no capacity in consequence thereof to re
ceive and appropriate that furnished by the
atmosphere; the plant makes its forms for
fruit, blooms. &e., hut all the starved fruit
falls off, imperfect and the planter deceived,
and deceiving liimself lays the blame to had
seasons, “too wet or too dry!” So you
may sustain injury in the opposite extreme;
you may have too few plants on the land,
hut the failure in the yieldarises here from
a different cause altogether though the
same winds blow and the same rains fall
or droughts come? In this instance, on the
same land, the plants are large, healthy
and vigorous, fruit at every joint, and fre
quently duplicated, where, it should he,
hut the crop is not a remunerating one,
because there are not plants enough on the
land to consume rtie soluble food which 1
your industry and considerate care had
stored up for it.
There is no additional argument neces
sary to impress the truth ot this position
upon the mind of any planter whose judg
ment has been awake to the teachings of
experience and observation. The golden
highway to success lies happily between
the two extremes: by however much you
approximate it, by just so much is your
labor and pains-taking remunerated, all oth-
ertkings equal. But there is an exact,
best perfect point; at which the planter
will obtain from his labor and soil the great
est advantage. It is to this point, from
theory and practical experience on the
field, that we invite tlie attention of our
planting friends. Then we insist upon it,
that it is a matter of the first importance
that the seed be planted in such manner as
to secure this perfect stand of plants on the
land. The experience of all planters has
proved, long since, that it will not do to
rely upon the judgment of an ignorant
negro to chop the plants out to a stand,
with a task stake to make! however thick
the plants may have come, up in the drill.
We believe that a machine, light and
handy, may be constructed, by which
three hands may be enabled to plant ten
acres in the day, perfectly and in such
manner as to have the plants stand in such
relative position to each other, throughout
tlie acre or field, as tiie fertility of the soil
will warrant, to be healthy vigorous and
fruit-bearing during all the season.—Un
der a perfect system of planting, thus
arranged, the productiveness of the cotton
plant is only limited by the quantity of
soluble fertility which the planter may put
in his soil, due allowanc to he made, of
oonrse, for the perfect or imperfect culture
that it may receive. In few words, then,
we have to state that it is the true, interest
of the planter to adopt that plan in plant
ing his seed, that will, to the best advan
tage, equally distribute tho plants over the
land in greater or less squares, propor
tionate to the fertility in the soil.
There is other important plantation work
to he done this month ides planting cot
ton seed; by the 20th of the month you will
perhaps he through planting your cotton
seed; your corn will then require your im
mediate attention; it must he plowed and
hoed aud thinned out to a stand. This
work should be well done. The weather
is.yet mild and cool; your mules and horses
are in fine condition, and you may plow
the middles of your corn rows well; you
cannot plow in your corn again with safety;
it should he swept hereafter, simply to
keep the surface pulverized and the grass
and weeds hack. You should, therefore,
plow it well now, leaving the ground mel
low and smooth about the hill. Have no
tears of going into the ground deep with
your scooters, pretty close about the young
corn, while the roots are short and in no
danger of being mangled; hut as yon de
sire a certain and good crop of corn, don’t
plow near it again.
Toward the close of this month you may
have potato slips to put out; have the land
well prepared and made rich, and by put
ting out a few slips early, you will have
some fine eating potatoes by the middle of
July to the. first of August. To secure a
fine yield of patatoes, (we mean sweet
potatoes,) you should have the land made
rich, suflicently so to produce at least
thirty bushels of corn per acre; a poorer
acre will not prodnee one thousand bushels
of potatoes.
April is a busy month in the plantation,
the planting of the crop is to be completed,
and the regular work of its subsequent
culture to be commenced. Remember
that it is the first grass, that springs up
among and with the young corn and cot
ton, that is most detrimental to the crop; it
is, therefore, a matter of the first im
portance that your work now be well done.
By this we mean to have no grass or
weeds—not a spear—in the hill with the
corn or cotton; if yon do it, the grass thus
left receives all the benefit intended for
the crop, and thus nursed, outfeeds the
young corn and cotton, being natives to
the “manor born,” and choke it up; when
you get hack to work among it the second
time, yon find that the grass has taken
deep root; and matted itself so firmly in the
lull, that the crop has made hut little pro
gress, is weakly and in a stunted condi
tion; and it is at this period—your bauds
pushing after a “taNk”—that your stand
of cotton, from a planting of three to four
bushels of seed per acre, is ruined; in pul
ling out tlie grass, that was tender and
scarcely perceptible at the first working,
and was easily removed or covered up with
a little soil.
This may be regarded by many planters
as a very small and unimportant matter; it
is with us, however, an all-important mat
ter. It is, nine cases out often on old
land, the “grave” of that fine stand of
young cotton, which was the remark of the
planter and overseer when it first came up.
The grass must be : Jmoved; the young
partly smothered cotton comes up with it,
and the stand is ruined. We, therefore,
press the importance of perfectly clearing
out all grass at the first working, that the
young crop may get a vigorous start be
fore the second coat of grass springs up,
which is easily overcome.
The Stock.—Yes, this very important
feature of the plantation economy must
not he neglected. Your family and your
negroes must have some milk, and those
pigs that should be putting on a pound of
bacon per day to hush theory of “more
meat,” must all have your care. Give
your cow lot. attention e\ ery day, and see
that yonr milch cows and your yearlings
and calves are improving in their condi
tion. Think not because a little grass is
springing up in your cultivated land, that
your cattle and sheep need no further at
tention. This kind of stock attention dries
many murrain hides in April! They must
yet have food, if you would have milk and
butter; and they should have salt every
two or three days, and once a week at least
sulphur in their salt. Your sheep require
the same attention, and perhaps it might
he well to add to their attention a dead dog
or two\ Your plow mules, too, though
you see them plowing every day, require
your careful attention. See that they are
curried every day, that their maingers be
kept clean, that they eat kindly, receive
their water regularly, and their shoulders
washed once a day at least; and if you
would have them always hearty, fat and
sleek, have a supply of poplar poles in
the lot for them to gr.aw after eating. To
all this, if you would have yonr system per
fect, keep your troughs supplied with rock
salt.
iSwallowing an Indian.—There have
been many laughable incidents related of
courts, justices and effeers of the frontiers
but we have seen nothing that is more lu
dicrous that the following. Among the
Indians who, on the first settlement of Cher
okee county Ga. gave trouble to the courts
was a notorious old vagabond named Swal
low, who was continually on the docket of
the civil or the criminal side.
On a certain occasion he was the defen
dant in a cause tried before a jury. The
evidence having been submitted and the
jury charged, they retired, and soon after
came in with a verdict, which was handed
to the solicitor. Now, the reader will be
kind enough to btar in mind that the solic
itor was of an excitable temperament, and
whenever unduly exercised he invariably
stammered and ‘stuck.’ On this occasion he
beganjo read.
‘We, the jury, find that the said defen
dant, Swallow, an Indian.—
Here, as our friend Billy Martin would
say, the solicitor’s month ‘hung fire,’ and
he tried again.
‘We, the jury, find that tho defeftdant.
Swallow an Indian’-and here there was
another refusal to ‘go off.’
The eyes of the whole court, judge, jury,
’lawyers and spectators, were upon the so
licitor, who was by this time in a sweat.’—
Just here Jim H , who sat almost
under him, looked up aud inquired in an au
dible voice:
‘And did he do it?’
‘Yes he did!’ was the solicitor’s indignant
reply-
Then, said Jim, “I think the punishment
was unlawful—it was both cruel and unusu
al.
The Two Cords of Wood.
Just at dark, one November evening ;
three children occupied the large kitchen
connected with the establishment of far
mer Grant. A bright wood fire blazed
cheerfully in the wide chimney, while from
the crane, the suspending teakettle was
announcing as loudly as possible, the hour
of supper was approaching- By the
bright, hut fitful light, one young girl snt
reading; ano tlier stood at the window
watching tlie cows as they walked demure
ly from yard to the stable, while a boy of
eleven summers was seated on a cradle in.
front of the fire gazing steadily at the flames
a^they shot upwards, hut with an appear
ance of abstraction, indicating that his
mind was elswhere.
Softly Ellen advanced from the window
and touching her sister Ruth to call her
attention, whispered: Just look at
Thomas, lie’s in a brown study, as teacher
said this afternoon, I do wonder what he
is thinking of.
Ask him, responded Rntli, glancing at
her brother, and then turning to her hook
again.
Thomas, called Ellen* What makes
you look so sober to night? Did you miss
at school?
The boy gave a deep sigh, and turned
to his sister with a smile, saying, “O
Ellen, you can help me if you will; only
you must first promise me not to tell any
one.”
Ellen promised, and Thomas led her to
the further end of the room, and liis moth
er had come in, where he made known to
her his plan.
“Last night,” said he, after you and
Ruth had gone to bed, I heard father aud
mother talking. It made me feel so sad
1 could not go to sleep. She had been
bringing in tlie clothes, and kept coughing
as she always does when she works hard.
Father told her that she must go to taking
doctor’s stuff that did her so much good
last winter. At first she did not answer;
hut pretty soon I saw her put up her hand
and brush away a tear. “There are so
many things to he bought for the children,”
she said, after a while, “that I don’t like
to spend money for medicine, I don’t of
ten cough so much.”
“I know that,, too,” replied father, hut
you must attend to your health. \\ hat
should we all do without you?”
“I sometimes think,” said mother, “that
my work is almost done, and if it is God’s
will to call me away, he will provide for
you and our dear children.”
“I couldn’t stay to hear any more, for I
had tolgo into the entry to keep from sob
bing aloud. O, Ellen, what could we all do
without mother.”
The young girl turned around, and gave
her mother a piercing glance as if to satis-
iy herself that her brother had cause for
his solicitude, and then asked.
“But what can yon, or both of us, do to
help her?”
1 mean somehow to buy her a bottle of
that medicine,” exclaimed Thomas im
pressively, but how to do it is the question.
Dr. Jones had a load of wood carted to
day, and he want’s a man to saw it. I
would go to-morrow and ask him give mo
the job, and tiie medicine to pay, only
father wants his wood piled up Jto-morrow
before the snow comes.
Ellen stood for one moment returning
her brother’s gaze, eagerly, “Ruth and I
will pile it for you. We’ll get up very
early, and do our stint before breakfast,
and then we shall have the whole after
noon.”
Thomas joyfully accepted this offer,
and readily obtained the job from the kind
physician. Before night he had piled the
two cords in tlie shed and sawed nearly a
quarter of it.
“Well my little workman,” said the
doctor, driving into the yard as Thomas
was hanging up ,the saw preparatory to
leaving. How much have yon earned this
afternoon.
A bright thought flashed across tlie hoy’s
mind and in true Yankee style lie answer
ed the question by asking, “Doctor, how
much a bottle was the cough medicine you
gave mother last winter?”
“Half a dollar I think. Is she sick
again?”
The hoy then communicated his wishes
and with a flushed face inquired of the doc
tor if he would be willing to let him have one
bottle to carry home with him.
The good man was evidently moved by
this unexpected proposal. He made no
reply except to invite tlie boy to his office.
When there he talked more freely, and
ended by giving him a small powder for
mother, with directions for taking it, in
addition to tlie desired cough medicine,
and promised to call himself the next day.
At an hour later Thomas sat with his
sisters by the fire, and communicated to
to them the joyful results of' his after
noon’s labor.
They then proposed to give the medi
cine to their mother as a token of affection
from her three children, ( ‘for urged Thom
as, “I could not have done it if you had
not helped ine.”
To say that Mrs. Grant was gratified
would he but freely expressing her emo
tion when the love-token was placed in
herhands.
With moistened eyes she gave each of
them a kiss, and added in a subdued voice,
“God will reward you *my dear ones.
The blessing affixed on the Fifth Com
mandment will he yours, for you have in
deed honored your mother.”
God did bless them in rendering the
medicine effectual in restoring the health
of their mother, whose life he prolonged
for many years. She saw her children
growing up useful, happy and respected by
all who knew them.— Youths Companion.
Another Fusion iu Philadelphia.
The regular correspondent of the New
Y'ork Tribune writing from Philiadelphia,
oil the 23d March, and referring to the
nominations for the office of Mayor and
other city officers, says that the Know
Nothing party and Black Republicans
have fused and will support the same
ticket. The writer says the union of the
two parties is “very cordial, and is not
likely to be disturbed by any dangerous
bolting.” “The action of the Americans
in Congress who came up so manfully to
sustain the Republicans opposition to I.c-
compton, has had the happiest effect on
public sentiment here, and gone far to
ward commencing a union which now shows
every indication of being a lasting one. I
team from various portions of New Jersey
that a similar feeling of fraternity is grow
ing up there also. Clawson and Itohbius,
both members of the House from that
State, are both Americans, and through
out the whole Kansas contest they have
uniformly given to the Republican eause
a firm support- It is evident that old
asperities are dying out, and anew feeling
of cordial co-operation taking its place.
