One of the principal features of the Middle Ages is the recognition of the fact that Christianity assigned to woman anew place iu the social order of the world very different from what it had been before. The deep respect accorded by that epoch to women could not but exercise a most powerful and beneficial influence of hu manity; for when man, confident in his physical force, resigns alone, we can never expoet to see real human culture develop itself. There now arose anew kind of worship of the beautiful, and female beauty in par ticular, and that in a higher arid more re fined sense than had been in the non- Ghristian world. The Greeks, the Romans and the Arabians bad bestowed praise upon women, as necessary to their happi ness, but they treated her only as an in ferior, and even as a slave. The Christian world sot before itself a now ideal. What man now strives for is that the lady whose affections lie endeavors to win should recognize his personal worth; that, she should prefer him to other suitors; that see should love him because she honors and esteem hint. Such a demand is based upon the sup position that man considers woman his equal; nay that he looks up to her as a su perior being; tlio endeavor he makes to deserve the favor of her he loves, and to become worthy of her, reacts on his own conduct. Love raises him above all that is common and vulgar; it becomes with him the mainspring of every noble action; lie can henceforth neither say nor do any thing of which he would be ashamed be fore her. Cultivation. Having made the growing of sweet po tatoes and plants a speciality for several years, also the housing and keeping of them over winter, perhaps a few hints on their culture, etc., will be of interest to your many readers. I always plant my potatoes in ridges, first plowing my ground about four inches deep. (I used to plow very deep/ for them, but have come to the conclusion that shallow plowing is best for sweet potatoes.) I then use the harrow aud roller until the soil is thoroughly pulver ized; then throw two furrows to tether with a iwo horse plow, and smooth or level the tops of the ridges with the hoe. The ground is then ready for setting the plants. Wo are generally set out plants iu the evening, say three o’clock until night. We make our ridges about three and a half feet apart, and set the plants about 18 to 20 inches apart in tho ridge. In dry, hot weather, set the plant deep and pour on each plant about a half pint of water; then draw around it dirt enough to keep the wet soil from baking and get ting hard around the plant; never water but the one time, and never wait for rain. If these directions are followed, and your plants have been grown as they should be, you will lose but very lew plants from trans-planting. Cincinnati Times That every day lias its pains and sor rows is universally experienced, and almost universally eonfoseed; but let us not at tend only to mournful truths; if we look impartially about us, we shall find that every day has likewise its pleasures and its joys. Florida has a volcano in an impene trable swamp, and the alligators loaf around it and tickle themselves that they liavc a big thing —Detroit Tier l‘less. High colors—Tho>e in the rainbow. The Savannah News says: Hon. Ben H- Hill, in an interview in the Baltimore Gazette, did not express a preference for any Presidential candidate because of “the sensitiveness of the public mind of the North in regard to the South in politiss.” The South prefered that the North should select the candidate, and only asked that it should bo the strongest man. Ho continued: “The currency question I look upon aN a subordinate one. Restore honest government, the currency will adjust itself and soon be all right. It is to be hoped that the matter will be sdtiled at St. Louis witiiout division and without the interposition of the South. If so tho entire Southern vote will be cast for the nominee. One of the crying evils of those times is tho tendency and disposition of girls to get through girlhood hurriedly and get into womanhood, or rather into young lady-hood, without waiting to enjoy the beautiful season of girlhood. Speaking on this point Bishop Morris says: “Wait patiently, my children, through tho whole limit of your girlhood. Go not after wo manhood; let it come to you. Keep out of public view. Cultivate retirement and modesty. The cares and responsibilities of life will come soon enough. When they couie, you will meet them, I trust, as true women should. But oh! be not so nowise as to throwaway your girlhood. Rob not yourselves of this beautiful sea son, which, wisely spent, will brighten all your future life. ” The mule has cut a figure in the cam paign already, and now tho cow makes her picturesque and gothic entrance. The Indianapolis Sentinel make a successful draft on tho barn-yard for a good sized Morton scandal. It finds a bill for SIBO.IO paid out of tiie general fund while Mr. Morton was governor, which it says was for his cow feed, or rather feed for his cows. There are other bills, amounting to about $ 1000 for wood, coal, gas, etc., which are said to have been for Mr. Morton’s private expenses. This the Sentinel fiendishly culls a part of Mr. Morton's “war record,” and evidently would like to cry: “Bristow had his mules, Morton his cows, and—other can didates may profit by their example!”— Savannah News. - —— Not Any for Him. This is the season when advertisements of refrigerators and ice-chests spread out in a newspaper like a mortgage on a small corner lot. It was advertising iu the Free Press that attracted a Nankin farmer into Detroit and into a Woodward avenue hardware store yesterday. When lie mentioned tho fact that he would like a refrigerator, the proprietor welcomed him witli a sunny smile, and the clerks cheer fully harked their shins against the stoves us they flew around. “Will you look at these ice chests?” asked the proprietor as they came to a long row. “What do I want to keep ice in a chest for?" growled tne farmer. "What I want is something to keep provisions cool and nicy in hot weather.” “Well, here you have it. Here is the best refrigerator made.” The farmer opened the doors, looked the box over and around, and seemed much pleased with it. Presently he in quired: " IVhat's the principle of tho thing— how does she cool off the provisions?" “You put your ice right in hero, shut the box and away she goes,” was the ■ reply. “Ice!” gasped the farmer. “Why, of course. You can’t run a re frigerator without ice, can you?’' The farmer turned without a word, walked down stairs and out to his wagon, and was getting in when the hardware man hurried up and asked : “What’s the matter?” “Do you think I’m a four-cornered fool?” howled the agriculturalist. “Do you think I'm going to buy that high priced provision asylum and then keep ice, too?’’— iktroit Free Cress. Mary K. Dallas writes: “The moment a girl has a secret from her mother, or has received a letter she dare not. let her mother read, or has a friend of whom her mother does not know, she is in danger. Tho fewer secrets that lie in the hearts of women at any age the better. It is almost a test of purity. In girlhood do nothing that, if discovered by your father, would make you blush.” An eastern paper having had consider able to say about “raising chickens by hand," tho Galveston News responds:— “Such information is not needed at the South. The whole colored population know how to do it, and an enterprising freedman can raise more pullets in a single night, on his way home from prayer meeting, than that Eastern editor could raise in & year with all his science.” j Though years bring with them wisdom, yet there is one lesson the aged seldom learn, namely, the management of youth ful feelings. Age is all head, youth all heart; age reasons, youth feels; age acts uuder the influence of disappointment, youth uuder the dotniuiou of hope. | CHARLES LANDRUM j —4 - with IPHILETUS P.
