For the Georgia Harold.] Still nobler lists in life’s braVc tournament The busy scenes of this stirring age pre sent- *, Nobler than from chivalric days portray’d ; In them gallant spirits are now array’d ; No brazen trumpets their entree proclaim, No herald recounts their virtues and fame, No gazing throng with loud plaudits ap prove Their deeds of daring, their kind works of love, Save these to Faith’s mystic eye is given In “cloud efi witnesses” that lean from Ileav’n ; No chaplet is wreath’d to reward their strife, • Except that, hope awaits in crown of life. Silent, untiring, their course they pursue, The good of man, glory of God in view. The wcrrld’B benefactors, they humbly strive To bless with good the age in which they live. Brave Templars, knighted at science* altar, Who girded with Truth’s flaming scimetar, Have gone forth, resolved the work to pur-* sue, With toil of mind Nature’s realms to subs due, Until each element as vassal meet, Shall pour its hiddon blessings at man’s feet. True Knights es the Cross, valiant and bold, Tn panoply wrought in Heaven’s own mold, With Faith as their shield—word of God their lance. With the banner of Christ as they advancp, Their bosorrs burn with zeal to overthrow The dark hosts of Hell—man’s myriad foe. On. on speed ye, as dread angels of light, To chase from the demons of night. How vain that dreaming spirits then should yearn For by-gone days of chivalry to return, This age now so rife with thrilling events, to heroic minds the chance presents, To win for itself, honor and renown Far brighter than the tourney’s fading crown. It was the custom erst of ancient knight, As host to perform the courteous rite— When those whom he had feasted in hall Btd adieu, for the stirrup-cup to call; And as it was placed to the lips of guest, The benison for his journey express, N )w for each of those, whom in the Muse’s bow’r We have sought to regale for one brief hour, As we have evoked before them to pass, In dim reflection from weird’s fancy glass, The pictur’d scenes of chrivalric arena In bright and varied panorama— We would for them joyous blessing bespeak, As we call for cup foaming to the beak. Kind Reader! that thou mayst thy path adorn, As belted knight of the Cross be theu sworn, With its weapons divine engird thy soul, Then with honor wilt thou come to life’s goal, And when Death, dread herald on thee shall call To hang up thy arms in his silent hall, Pavilioned in life’s lists as a conqueror, The summons will not be doom of terror, But only translate thee to God above, To receive crown of life, thy meed of love. | CONCLUDED ] Jlisfellanco«s. Electricity Rivals Steam. —A new ins vention is described in the late papers, which will substitute electricity for steam as a mechanical power. The cost per day is estimated at thirty-five cents. Planting machines, and other mechanical arrange ments have been successfully attached to this wonderful electrical engine. If the machine now in construction in New York, works as beautifully on a large scale as its smaller predecessors have, a ship will soon pass over the ocean with a streak of tame lightning in the hold. This dangerous ele ment appears in this grand role in such a minute form that it can be put in a smaller trunk than is carried by a fashionab t young lady to a summer resort. ter By invitation of one of our physi~ cians we visited the residence of a negro womm who has in her stomach three liv ing snakes. The movements ot the snakes can be plainly seen on the outside of the stomach, and are constantly in motion. They have the appearance of beiog about three feet long, and about the thickness of a commod. sized walking-cane. The wo man seems to be in good health, but has a wild, ferocious look. She can not account for this singular freak of nature. — owen9> boro Shield. The French Vote. —The total vote on the Plebiscitum stands as follows : Yes, 7, 336,434; No. 1,560,709.

Clover, in enriching and improving the farm, is next to barnyard manure in value and importance. Indeed, in many places where winter wheat is largely grown, clover may easily be made of more benefit than the usu al amount of manure made and ap plied. For there will only be barn yard manure enough to use on part of the wheat and corn land, while the whole of both crops may be made to follow clover. And we must be lieve that clover is not yet sufficiently appreciated, for if it was, but very little wheat or corn, on all good wheat land, would be allowed to follow any other crop but clover. Now there is not the least difficulty in arranging an managing crops so that this may be the case. Always sow clover with wheat, and plow for corn before the clover is run out; and then seed to clover with barley or some other spring crop after corn. This clover the next year, or the year after, will be again broken up for wheat. The main crop will in neither case be plowed under. The one after wheat will be used for hay and clover seed or pasture, as most convenient. The crop seeded next after corn will, if good, be mowed early, and the second growth after starting a month, more or less, as may be convenient, can then be plowed under for wheat. When clover is intended to improve the soil pasturing is poor policy. It should never be done in the spring before plowihg for corn, nor before plowing for wheat after the first crop is mowed for hay. Nor shoud there be any pasturing on new seeding in the fall, unless the growth is very large, and then not closely fed. In deed, as a general rule, it is poor economy to pasture clover, for feed ing off the tops prevents the large growth of roots required for the great est improvement of the soil, while with both the tops and roots checked, the general growth must be much less than if neither was disturbed, and the actual improvement will be in proportion to the amount of tops and roots grown. A great advantage in growing clover, is that the improvement thus aecurod absolutely costs nothing The clover crops taken off pay all ex penses of seed, sowing, use of land, and securing the crop, and usually a profit besides. There is no expense for preparing the land, as this is done for the crop the clover is sown with. Still, if the crop of clover seeded with a spring crop should be light, it may be best to plow it all under for wheat. But with good farming, clover seeded so soon after corn will generally do well. And then with good crops of clover, the clover stubble plowed in as above directed—all the spring growth turned under for corn, and all the new growth, after the clover is mowed, for wheat —we say man aged in this way, the clover, with the large amount of roots in the ground, and stubble and new growth on the surface, will afford all the green manuring needed, with good land and good farming, to grow good crops, and secure a fair measure of improvement of the soil. Here, too, is a point in green man uring not well considered and appre ciated. Many writers and farmers object to plowing under clover be cause it can be cut for hay, fed and nearly all the fertilizing properties saved in the manure. But such per sons seldom appear to consider the great amount and value of the clover roots in the ground, or by thus seed ing often, and plowing up while the clover is still in full vigor, a very good green manuring may be secured, and the clover hay saved for feeding and making manure besides. Now here is a double advantage and profit, that is mostly lost in only seeding •nee in from five to six or eight years, and then not breaking up again until the clover is all run out, and its fertilizing properties exhaust ed by the June and other grasses that have come in. The great value of clover hay for making manure, is a strong point with many that oppose the use of clover for green manuring and this point is not made without reason. With a large supply of good clover hay, and a suitable proportion of grain to feed to fattening cattle and sheep, a very rich and valuable pile of manure may be made. The addi tion of a portion of oil-cake to the feed, will, of course, improve the ma nure. But as one of the principal reasons for feeding oil-cake is the nitrogenous matters thus secured in the manure, clover hay will be a good substitute in supplying nitrogen also. Indeed, there is no other way in which American farmers can ob- tain nitrogen and nitrogenous ma nures, in anything like as cheap and full supply as by growing clover. This great advantage may also be secured both ways. Besides the val uable barnyard manures made as shown here, the roots and other por tions of clover plowed under will also contain a large amount of nitrogen, a portion of which, either as ammonia or the different nitrates, will thus be secured to succeeding crops of grain. Clover also adds largely to the amount of available mineral food of plants. It contains a large percent age of potash and lime, and consider able phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid and chlorine, all of which are valua* ble for cultivated plants. These sub stances are not merely gathered from the surface soil where they are availa able for the long tapr-roots penetrate deeply into subsoil, and secure a large portion of these mineral ma nures from sources out of the reach of grain crops. The growth of the large, long roots acts as a wedge in dividing and loosening up the ground so the air, warmth, and rains can more freely enter the soil and subsoil, and thus help convert a portion of the inert mineral matter into available food for plants. Thus the growth of clover not only secures a large amount of mineral manure in the plant, but opens the way for, actual, ly leads to an increased available supply in the soil. THE STATE FAIR PREMIUMS. The lo.st number of the Plantation contains the following letter from Mr. H. I. Kimball, the livest, most public spirited and liberal man in Georgia: Atlanta, Ga., April 16, 1870. lion. B. C. Yancy , President Georgia State Agricultural Society : Sir. —Mv communication to you on the 7th instant, offering a special premium of for the best bale of cotton raised in the State of Georgia, was written hastily, and without that mature reflection which the import ance and general interest of the matter demands. Simply offering a premium for the best bale of cotton, would, I am satis fied, debar a portion of the largest cotton growers in the State from par ticipating in competition for said premium, and would not meet the ob ject and ends which I desire to ac complish, viz : the advancement of the material growth and prosperity of the agricultural and mineral inter ests of the State. It is to these interests that we must look to make Georgia the Empire State of the South and a power in the nation. If we would have influence, we must be prosperous. This is as true regarding a State or a nation as of an individual—to be prosperous and successful, we must not only be in duslriouß% but systematic and energetic. I am of the opinion that by a pro per use of fertilizing properties, and labor saving machinery, that even the old and worn-out acres of Geor gia will again blossom, and yield to her people a richer harvest than ever before. The great object to be attained in agricultural pursuits is to produce the greatest yield loith the least amount of labor. Your Society is capable of exert ing a powerful and most wholesome influence throughout the whole State towards the accomplishment of this object, by impressing the people with the grand idea that it only re** quires energy and perseverance to prove the new system of labor vastly more remunerative than the old. It was to assist the Society in the the accomplishment of this object that I offered the premium referred to. I therefore most respectfully re quest that my proposition be amend ed as follows; I propose to place to your order, subject to the decision of the Com mittee, SSOO, to be offered as a special premium for the largest and best yield of cotton (the quality and quantity to be considered in the award) which is raised during thq. present year on jive acres of land in the State of Georgia. And that North Georgia may be encouraged to exhibit what she can do for the advancement of these in terests, I now propose to offer an ad ditional premium, and place in your hands the further sum of SSOO, to be offered as the following premiums, viz : Two hundred dollars for the best five acres of wheat. Two hundred dollars for the best five acres of grass. One hundred dollars for thp best collection of minerals collected from the soil of Georgia. I would furthermore suggest for your consideration that you require competitors entering for these premi ums to pay a special fee of oO per cent of the premium proposed, and this sum to be devoted to the benefit of your Society. This question, however, I leave entirely to your own judgment. When you arc in the city please do me the favor to call at my office, as I wish to confer with you about the best method of encouraging coun ty agricultural socities. 1 am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, 11. I. KIMBALL. FEMALE BEAUTY AND ORNAMENTS. The ladies of Japan gild their teeth; of the Indies paint them' red. The pearl of the teeth must be died black to be beautiful in Guscrat. In Greenland the women color their taces with blue and yellow. How ever fresh the complexion of a Mus covite may be, she would think her self very ugly if she was not plaster ed over with paint. The Chinese must have their feet as diminutive as those of the she'goat; and to render them thus, their youth is passed in tortures. In ancient Persia an aqui line nose was often thought worthy of the crown ; and if there was any competition between two princes, the people generally went by this crite rion of majesty. In some countries, the mothers break the noses of their children; and in others press the head between two boards, that it may become square. The modern Persiar s have a strong aversion to red hair; the Turks, on the contrary, are warm , admires of it. The female Hotten tot receives from the hand of her lover, not silks nor wreaths of flowers, but warm guts and reeking tripe, to dress herself with enviable ornaments. In China, small round eyes are liked ; and the girls are continually plucking their eyebrows, that they may be thin and long. The Turkish women dip a gold brush in the tinct ure of a black drug, which they pass over their eyebrows. It is too visi* ble by day, but looks shining by night. They tinge their nails with a rose color. An African beauty must have small eyes, thick lips, a large flat nose, and a skin beautifully black. The Emperor of Monomotapa would not change his amiable negress for the most brilliant European beauty. An ornament for the nose appears to us perfectly unnecessary. The Peruvians, however, think otherwise; and they hang on it a weighty ring, the thickness of which is proportion ed by the rank of* their hnsband3. The custom of boring it, as our ladies do their ears, is very common in sev eral nations. Through the perfora tions are hung various materials; such as green crystal, gold, stones, a single and sometimes a great number of gold rings. This is rather trouble some to them in blowing their noses; and the fact is, as some have inform* ed us, that the Indian ladies never perform this very useful operation. The female head-dress is carried in some countries to singular extrava* gance. The Chinese fair carries on her head the figure of a certain bird. This bird is composed of copper or gold, according to the quality of the persons ; the wings spread out, fall over the front of the head-dress, and conceal the temples. The tail, long and open, forms a beautiful tuft of feathers. The beak covers the top of the nose ; the neck is fastened to- the body of the artificial animal by a spring, that it may the more freely play, and tumble at the slightest mo tion. extravagance of the Myantses is far more ridiculous than the above. They carry on their heads a slight board, rather longer than a foot, and about six inches broad; with which they cover their hair, and seal it with wax. They cannot lie down, or lean, without keeping the straight; and the country very woody, it is not uncommon to find them with their entangled in the trees. When ever they comb their hair, they pass an hour by the fire in melting the wax; but this combing is only performed once or twice a year. The inhabitants of the land of Na tal wear caps or bonnets, from six to ten inches high, composed of the fat of oxen. They then gradually anoint the head with purer grease, which, mixing with the hair, fastens these bonnet* for their lives. —U Israeli a Curiosities of Literature . SgL.
