56 THE COUNTRYMAN. TURNWOLD, GA., NOVEMBER 10, 1862’ A Recreant Southern Literatenr. “ Every reader of fiction has heard of Mrs. Terhnne, whose nom de plume is ‘Ma rion Harland.’ In a late number of the New York World is found the following mention of the lady in a notice of forth coming books : ‘ Sheldon & Co. will publish, in a few days, a new novel, by Marion Harland, au thor of ‘Alone,’ ‘Hidden Path,’ ‘Nemesis,’ &c., called ‘Miriam.’ The large sale of her previous works has rendered Marion Harland the most popular female writer in this country. ‘Alone,’ and ‘Hidden Path’ each had a sale of about 40,000 copies. The scene of this new story is laid in the dark and bloody ground of Kentucky, and the work is dedicated to George D. Pi en tice, editor of the Louisville Journal. Ma rion Harland, although born and brought up in Richmond, Va., married, and is now living in loyalty, in Newark, N. J.’ The house in which Marion Harland lived, and set the nib of her pen in mo tion, is pointed out to every curious liter- ateur who visits Richmond. On the break ing out of the revolution, she was reported to he. devoted in her attachment to her state, and to the holy cause of the South. This devotion seems to have vanished wholly away 7 , and now we find that she is so far yankeeized as to dedicate her new book to that model yankee, George JD. Prentice. Marion Harland is of puritan origin, and held the history of her ances tors in the highest regard. This venera tion for the fanatics of Haarlem never left her. This is but another evidence of the ut ter impossibility of Southernizing a puritan. While we turn away with soirow from so melancholy an example of lack of fi delity to our cause, we, at the same time, turn with pride to the Southern devotion of such gifted beings as Miss Evans, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. French, and others, whose pens have, and will hereafter, embellish our literary history. When the war is over, we shall no longer import our books with our dry goods, but bring into life, and sustain a purely Southern literature. It is idle to talk of a great nation without a na tional literature. We shall never be re spected in the highest circles in Europe, unless we show that we .are bookmakers, as well as gunmakers.’'—The foregoing is from the Mobile Tribune. Sensibility.—“Sensibility would be a good portress, if she had but one hand. With her right she opens the door to pleas ure, but with her left to pain.” To Dye Cotton or Wool. “ A lady friend sends us the following recipe for dy eing cotton or wool brown : Take the bark of the root of a common wild plum—boil in iron or brass, as most convenient until the dye looks almost black. Strain, and add a small quantity of copper as dissolved in a small quautity of the dye. Add the article to be dyed. Boil an hour or so. Wring out, and dip in strong cold ley. When dry, rinse in cold water. This gives a genuine, bright brown, which is the prettiest contrast tor blue; and when check ed in together, it makes a dress becoming enough for the proudest southern dame or belle. Ladies, try it. - ” To Cure Chills. “Two oz. Peruvian baik ; 2 oz. cloves, finely pulverized ; 1 oz. cream tartar. Mix the whole together, dry. Take a small table-spoonful three times a day r , in half a tumbler of hard cider, or vinegar and water. To be taken before each meal.— A tea-spoonful for a child.” ADVEKTISEM ENTS.

The Countryman is a Little Paper published on the editor’s plantation, 9 miles from Eaton- ton, at $1 per annum, in advanCe.—1 do not profess to publish a news paper, for, under the circumstan ces, that is impossible. My aim. is to model my journal after Addison’s Little Paper, The Spectator, Steele’s Little Paper, The Tatler, Johnson’s Little Papers, The Rambler and The Adventurer, and Gold smith’s Little Paper, The Bee:. neither of which, I believe, was as large as The Countryman. It is my aim to fill my Little Paper with Wit, Humor, Anec dote, Essays, Poems, Sketches, Agricultural Ar ticles, and Short Tales. I do not intend to publish any thing that is dull, jdidactie, or prosy. I wish to make a neatly-printed, select Little Paper—a pleasant companion for the leisure hour, and to re lieve the minds of our people somewhat from the engrossing topic of war news. This journal will bedivided into quarterly volumes, each of which will make a book, when reprinted, containing 400 octavo pages of the most interesting matter found in the English language.—No back numbers can be. supplied now, but the volumes will be reprinted and bound hereafter.
