SOBiTI.ES. Early Tomatoes. — Hon. D. A Comp ♦on writes to the Southern Farmer as follows: ‘These are most readily grown on deep, sandy soil; but as all farmer’s gardens are not sandy, the following method will be found highly -advuutu. jreous to those whose soil is a heavy loam, approaching clay ; Make steep, conical hiHs,a foot or more in height,and two and one-half feet in diameter at the base; in the tops of these set the plants. Water thoroughly and immediately cover the surface of the hills slightly with dry earth, to prevent the ground from baking. The roots will soon spread through every part of the mound, and being so exposed to the rays of the sun will grow amazingly. Do not be afraid the heat will burn them up—the tomato came from a hot country, and will endure heat and drought that would be fatal to Northern plants. “Should the drought be excessive and the vines droop somewhat, dust them with plaster. This will attract moisture enough at night to support them during the day, besides furnishing them w-ith ammonia. Hoe aud plaster frequently. When the tomatoes are tho size of crab iipples pull off the smallest, and also pinch off the tops of the plants. Let ihe vines fall and remain directly on the ground, that the fruit may have the full benefit of the heat of thesun and ground. By this method ripe tomatoes may be had full three weeks earlier than by flat culture io the common way. ‘Farmers aie advised to start their plants in small squares of inv*erted sod in a slight hot-bed. Such plants are moved in perfect safety, are more stocky in habit, and in every way better than plants grown thickly in soil. • *1 have tasted no SSrly tomato better than the Early York, and no i«!- e vmie ' ty better than the F*Jee. r A New Style of Floor Covering.— A0 exchange says : tffiave all your old newspapers, and *vhen you get enough for the purpose, make a paste as for putting on the wall, lay dosrn one by one, pasting them till your floor is covered, then let it dry; then fay another in the sa.no wuy.- Wbeu agaifl dry get some wall paper of 0 suitable color and paste all over it.— When dry, go over it again with a good coat of varnish, und you have a nice covering for your floor, which will wear 2lEig .« a carpet, and look as well as oil eloOi. This is a cheap method ot covering bedroom- which are not much used.'* Josh Billing* says: “I a™ vio lentlyopposed tew ardent spec-ills as a bevrfdge; but for manufacturing P«i fthiHk liU'g of '« taste^ood^ Kitty’s Rebellion. tJY JENNY GREENWOOD. On a sultry summer afternoon, some seventeen years ago, little Kitty ran in from her play for a drink of lemonade which stood on the table. ‘Please, mamma,’ said her mother, as she turned the glass. ‘Kitty tan’t say pease,’ replied the lit tle maid. Now Kitty had said ‘pease’ a hun. died tiroes, and usually delighted in saying everything she was told. She quite excelled in conversational powers lor a year-and a-half old. For the first time in her short life, she had taken a notion that she would not do as she was bid. So her mother set the glass down again uitfasted, and the child ran back to her door-step as before. But it was very warm, and presently the little feet came pattering back, and the thirsty red lips were up again for a drink. ‘Kitty say please.’ ‘Tain't say pease.’ So the baby went away thirsting again. This experiment was repealed per haps half a dozen times in the course of the afternoon, at first playfully as it seemed, but as the wee rebel began act* ually to suffer from heat and thirst rath er than say ‘please,’ it became a serious question how long she would hold out. Supper time came, and Pet ran to her high chair. ‘Mamma, lift Kitty up 1’ ‘Please, roammu, lift Kilty,’ said her mother, gently. Instantly the eager little face fell.— Baby shook her head—muttered “tain’t say pea 66,” and turned away. Her fath er and mother and the rest of the chil dren sat down to the table, but who eat supper while that poor little outlaw stood back by the wall moaning with hunger and thirst! The mother yearned to take her 1n her arms and give her food and drink; but how could she? The little one knew that one dutiful word would bring her all she wanted, yet she refused to speak it. The ques tion fairly at issue—should the child obey the parents, or the parents submit to the child ? It is an old and common di'emma, and in thousands of house holds the child entries the day; but Mrs. Hart did not believe God meant that to lie the order of the world. So she took her baby to her own room, and set before her very tenderly and Be rioualy her naughty behavior. She knelt down and jwayed the Savior to make her good and obedient; but after all Kilty could not say “pease" any better than before. At length, distressed and tired, and fairly alarmed about tfic Tfitle creature, wlio had ®ot tasted drink since noon, she carried her to her father and begged him to take the case in hand. Mr, Hart began to talk with the young culprit playfully, coding doubling he should soon bring her round, lie gave her a great many words to speak, which she did all very readily tilt the trouble some word ‘please 1 came along; that she could not do. Year-and-a half un derstood that to say that was to submit. So he grew serious, and told her he should have to whip her if she did not mind. Now Kilty and whipping were two things never before Brought, of in the same breath. She had always been an uncommonly sweet and gentle child, and nobody bad ever guessed how much grit was lutontin that little bosom. Nothing else would avail, however, aud the whipping had to come Still the baby remained obstinate and far from righteousness. Feverish and exhausted, with parched lips crying for drink, yet inflexibly re fusing" to speak the little word which would bring it, she was put to bed in her crib. All the warm night she tossed and moaned in her unquiet sleep, or woke crying from thirst; but even then, sleepy and miserable as she was, she would only say, ‘Tan’t say pease,’ when the water came near. For the father and mother that was a night of sleepless wretchedness, relieved only by prayer. They really began to fear that the child would sooner die than to submit to au thority. ‘Oh, pshaw, never mind the please; give her drink,’ many a father -would have said. ‘Poor little thing! I must let the minding go till another time,’ most mothers would have thought; but Mr. and Mrs. Hart did not see it so. If it was like death for a will to yield after eighteen months’ growth, whnt would it be after months and years of indul gence? God had committed to them this soul of his creating, to be trained for Himself; if she could not be made to obey her father whom she had seen, how should she become obedient to her Fath er in Heaven, whom she had not seen ? The very fact that her will was so strong, made it the more impe: a ive to their minds that it should be brought under the control of her conscience ; they saw what a cruel tyrant it would prove if left to hold sway. The longer the struggle wi s protracted, the more like ly it seemed that the result would be a filial one, and the more important that the result should be light. Then the other children, who had been watching this new phase of family history with a kind of solemn dread—should they learn that the authority they had been taught to revere, could after all be trodden un der the feet of the baby? It would not do. It had been early explained to the little one that it was her Heavenly Fath er’s command that she should obey her parents, and that she was resisting his will ; that father and mother felt that they had no right to annul his law.— So the night wore away, and the morn ing broke, but brought no peace to tue household, weighed down by the per* of its young rebel. the awoke worn and ttlißPSt sick, but stub born as ever. Free will, indeed ! What a grand, awful mystery it is ! How, shriued in a dainty, delicate morsel of flesh, it can look out and defy the world ! Terrible agent of evil—glorious worker of good ! Kinkiest of creation—a sovereign hu man°w ill ! vVhat wonder heaven and hell contended for little Kitty s will, bo they do for every one. Happy the child whose parents steadfastly keep the right side in the conflict! Kitty found an ally in the morning. A woman who occupied an adjoining tenement, having learned the state ol things from the children, came in to plead for her. She assured Mrs. Hart that site was killing the child ; that it was downright cruelty to treat her so ; that if she had a little girl, she would never see her suffer when she could help it. AH this fell on a soar aud achin» heart. The mother had already been tormented with fears that the heat and thirst and excitement would really be the death of her poor, nanghty little dar ling. She tried to think of some compro mise by which Kitty would be relieved without a sacrifice of parental govern ment. At last she placed a mug of milk in a low chair, and left the little girl alone in the room, while her father aud mother watched her unseen. They saw hea come up to the mug and press her hot little hands against its sides and begin to raise it to her thirsty lips, then suddenly set it down with a piteous look, and went away moaning. It was a cruel battle between Desire and Honor, for such a little heart. Again the little creature would come up and look wistfully into the miig'-full of rnilk —shake her head mournfully, and turn away. Kitty would not slink out of the difficulty, though her pa'enls would let her; she or they must openly surrender. This little display of character made them clearer than ever that they should do the child a eruel wrong in helping her to break dowu the demands of her own conscience. In the course of the morning, Mrs. Ilart was relieved to see the family physician drive up to the door, fohe hastened to tell him the whole story and ask whether she was risking too much. He advised her to “put it through ; the little thing couldn’t stand out much longer.” Moreover, the good doctor straightway conceived a little strategem for bringing her to terms. It was a great treat for any of the children to ride, with him, and one to which Kitty had never yet arrived; so that when he proposed to take her this morning, she flushed up with delight and began to caper about the room in high glee. ‘Run and ask your mother to please put on your hat, then,’ said the doctor. Instantly the bright little face Jaded ; she lost all desire to go, if there was a ‘please’ to it. So the expedient failed. It was getting towards noon—nearly twenty-four hours, during which Kitty had tasted neither food or drink. Per suasion and authority had been exhaust ed upon ben, and still she wandered about the house, a . wan, discontented little object, often crying, but as obsti nate as ever. Ahnost heart-broken to see her so, the mother took her in her arms once more and carried her to her chamber.— Once again she showed the little girl how wretched her wilfulness was mak ing herself aud all the rest, and how it was grieving the dear Savior. Then she knelt, and with tears implored that bles sed apiFit who-can ttielt evefy-beftrty io subdue the stubborn will. Suddenly the baby threw her arms around her neck and burst out, ‘pease, pease, pease, pease, pease, pease.’ The grateful mother covered her with tears and kisses, and canted her down to the sitting room, where she sprang into her lather’s arms, crying, ‘Pease, pease, peasef’ us if she would never be done. Now she was all radiant with love and peace. The other children came running in to hear how Kitiy could say please, bhe was ready to hug and Ki»a everybody. The whole family siood around laughing and crying, to see her drink her cup of milk, and hard ly able to let her alone long enough to drink it. The house was full of joy. The bat tle was ended. Bight hud triumphed, it had been a terrible struggle, but it was once for all; from that day to this, Kitty ilart has shown no disposition to resist lightlul authority. Iler will was not ‘broken’—that is an ugly phrase—it is a good strung will yet; but it was brought under her conscience. It was rescued from being mere wilfnlcesa. These parents had tried a 1 along to make their child understand that to sist them was to disobey her Father in heaven, and that this was the head and front of her offending. As time went on, they found, to then surprise, reason to believe that she had understood it so well that in yielding to them at last, she kud also submitted her self to Ilim. Mature years and new ex perience deepened and developed her Christian life, but it never seemed neces sary for Kitty to be converted alter she was a year old. It appeared that the Redi emer had crowned their prayers and fidelity, and ended that long 'contest by changing the heait of stone to a heart of flesh, and sending His Spirit into it crying Abba, Father 1 Ah, these cries in child hearts mean more than we think 1 Eternal issues are pending when we little dream of it. Congrcgalionalist. The Mind is the Man. —The mind is the man. The body is simply the in strument through which ihe mir.d mani fests itself while on earth. The mind is manifested through forty or more or gans. Each is primary and independ ent in its function, doing its own work and not doing the work of any other.— Each of these powers is manifested by or through a particular organ or por tion of the brain. The power of each organ, all other things being equal, is in exact proportion to the size and quality of that portion of the brain through which it is manifested. The mental powers are possessed originally in dif ferent degrees by different individuals, and also by the same individual. One possesses ten talents, another five, an other one. Each mental power grow’s stronger and becomes more skillful by proper exercise. Our accountability is just in proportion as we make a good or a bad use of these talents. Each mental power was created for the pur pose of doing good, and was intended to be properly used. Aw Awful Sinkf.r. —ln Arkansas, Eider Knapp, •while baptizing converts at a revival meeting, advanced with a wiry’, sharp-eyed old chap into the water. Asked the usual question whether there was any reason why the ordinance of baptism should not be administered.— After a pause, a tall, powerful looking chap, with an eye like a blaze, who was leaning on a long rifle and quiet’y look ing on, remarked : “Elder, 1 don’t want ter interfere in this yer business any ; but I want to say that this is an old sinner you have got hold of and I know that one dip won’t do him any good If you waut to get the sin out of him you’ll have to anchor him out in deep water over night.” fl®* A lady gave this reasou for not knowing the color of her minister’s eyes : “When he prays he shuts his own ey< s, and when he preaches he shuts mine.” CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1870. How Madge Tilton Lost Her Lover- BY RUTITELLA SCHULTZ. ‘This will do, Jane.’ Madge Tilton took fretn the hand of her maid the article indicated by her words—a white skirt, fresh from the laundry, and threw it on the bed. ‘But it is torn, miss,’ objected the girl, holding to view a large triangular rent. ‘Never mind ; the ruffling is lovely.’ ‘Mayn’t I mend it, Miss Madge V ‘No; I’ve kept Mr. Waterbury wait ing too long already. Make haste and button my boots.’ But the girl was dissatisfied with the decision of her mistress. Button-hook in band, she rose from her knees, and throwing open a wardrobe, said in a deprecating tone : ‘Please, miss, these are all in older. Wouldn’t you bn af ter ona of them ? ‘Jane 1 I can Dot allow you to dic tate to me in this manner. When your advice is asked, you may give it—not before. lam partial to the trimmings on this skirt, and shall wear it. The fact is, you should have repaired it as soon as it came from the wash.’ ‘I hadn’t time, Miss Madge ’ ‘No more, Jane. Don’t talk to me of lime. Here clasp my bracelet. Now, bring my gloves, and see to it that there isn’t a stitch wanting in my wardrobe when I return.’ With these words Madge Tilton swept from her boudoir and descended to the drawing room, where Clarence Waterbury had been wailing her ap pearance lor the last half h<fur. Now there were some ladies of that young gentleman’s acquaintance—his sister’s for instance—who would have incurred his severest displeasure had they committed a like breach of polite ness. But on this occasion, and, in deed, very generally when lie called on Miss Tilton, a detention of thirty or more mortal minutes was much less disagreeable than he would have had his sisters believe. In fact, I think he enjoyed it. Do you wonder at this ? You need not. He was in love. On that particular afternoon in early June,be was abundantly compensated for his long wailing, when she entered the room and extended her two fair hands to greet him, She looked so neat, so sweet, so trim, and, withal, so airy and graceful in her snowy pique trailing on the blue velvet floor; her dainty jacket to match ; her white chip hat trimmed w-ith forget-me-nots ; her jet ornaments and little black parasol. If he had ev er sftfferSu a daubt to dwell Id his mind, it was now banished. Ilfi resolved that the foi tunes of that day should seal bis fate. A picnic composed of about twenty young friends, was to be held a few miles distant from the city. The day was one of June’s loveliest, and the drive through the suburbs, and out into the (poultry, was to Madge one of unus ual interest. She saw in every glance of her com panion’s dark eyes, and beard in oveiy tone of his rich voice, that she was lovely, while he regarding her earnest ly, could not (ail to see and lightly in terpret the varying color of her cheek, the dow nw ard sweep of her long lashes, and the soft cadences of her voice. Arrived at the place appointed, they found their companions awaiting them, just as all pic-nickers and others ought always to wait for the tardy—enjoying themselves to the best of their ability. Time passed in the pleasures usual to such gatherings, aud when the rural feast was over the company dispersed in couples through the woods. How many love vows were whispered in the 5..i1l solitudes, aud how many fair faces blushed beneatli the shadows of the greenwood on that golden day in June ! Only Waterbury and Madge remain ed near the edge of the forest, under a large oak. The former leaned against the tree, silently regarding his compan ion, who, seated in a camp stool, was wreathing a chain of wild flowers.— Gradually she became conscious of his steadfast gaze. Blushing, she rose and tossed the gailand over her head, letting it fall upon her shoulders and descend in festoons over her dress. As almost every woman, at such a moment, knows that the supreme hour of her youth is at hand, Madge knew that this hour had come to her. She turned, and taking the gariand from her shoulders, hung it on a low branch of the tree, and said: ‘Where is the view you prom ised me V ‘On the other side of the hill,’ lie re plied. ‘We shall have to go to the top, though not to the highest point of the hill. The walk is very pleasant, but you must gather up your dress, for the path is thickly intersected with briers.’ Madge, accordingly, lifted the heavy trail of her skirt, and threw it over her arms. No sooner had she done so than Wa terbury changed color, and turned away. She flushed scarlet. There was no room for apology or explanation. It was of little use to let the folds of her dress fall over the hole that, was staring like a great reproachful eye into her face. Yet she did so with a vague sense of lelief which forsook her again when-she saw the expression of shame and disappointment that filled his eyes, and the painful constraint of his man ner as he turned and offered his arm.— She accepted it with' some slight re mark, and a forced laugh But hccou’d not respond in the same spirit, and lit tle was said. By the time they reach ed the hi 1 top his manner bad so chi IK ed and distressed her that she was una ble longer to assume a careless air. ‘I am so tired,' she said, sinking upon a fallen tree; ‘let ns go back,’ Someth ng very like a sob followed her word*; and Waterbary, overcome with tenderness and pity*, seated himself beside her. ‘Sit here and rest,’ he returned, but could say nothing further. Though her face was averted as if some object in the distance had fixed her attention, he saw that she mas very pale. And when, almost as much agitated as her self, he took her hand from the moss on which it lay, he observed that it trem bled violently. But lie forbore, even by tint lightest pressure, to give expression to the tend rnei-a flooding his soul. How different the scene he bad pic-- lured to himself! ‘I will lead her herp,’ he had said only the day l afore, when on that very spot he had viewed (he r >. niamio beauty of the scene*. The rock browed, pine-cr<>wned hill; the brook rushing to meet the river in the valley; the summer sky above, and the song of birds, and whisper of the breeze around him; the wild flowers blooming in every sunny nook, and the mossy trunk of the fallen tree—ho had regarded them all as contributors to his happiness. But the flowers, the birds, the over shading trees and prostrate oak ; the deep soli tudes, the blue dome of beaveD, and the river gemmed valley—all were there; even she was by his side; yet with what different feelings from those he had anticipated did he look upon the scene! That he deeply loved Madge Tilton was never more evident to Waterbury than at that moment. But an untidy wife 1 the thought appalled him. Not, indeed, that he had judged her to be untidy from the circumstance of the af ternoon. Unfortunately—or, perhaps, fortunately for hirn, he had on a previ ous occasion seen one or two plaits of her dress fastened to the waist by a>pin. -At the time he supposed her unaware of the fact ; but it came fucibly to his mind at the sight of the torn, white skirt, and at the same moment he re. membered having once seen the soiled spring of her crinoline protruding from beneath her dress. His conclusions, of course, were inevitable. ‘No, never 1’ was his mental exclama tion ; ‘never, though i loved her inadly, could I marry a woman whom I knew to be ’ At this moment a gay group came bounding through the shrubbery in search of Madge and Waterbury. The party proposed returning home, some of the more weather-wise having predicted a storm. And as storms are the usual accompaniments of pleasure excursions, the point was readily conceded ; Wa terbury and Madge joined the party in the valley, whence they all departed for their several destinations The bitterest moment Waterbury had ever known was that in which he bade Madge Tilton farewell. But it was soon over. He was gone, and she did not know, she could not suspect, how he strove to keep the love light from shin ing in his eyes; or how, when his hand touched hers with fashionable Formality, liis heart ached to clasp her in his arms. To her it seemed a cold, calm part ing. She knew that it was forever, but she neither fainted or dimmed her lus treus eyes with tears. As in the case of that animal which submits to the shears only when compelled by the vise, the loss of her lover was for a time un heeded in the torture of her humiliation. ‘All for the gratification of an idle whim!’ was her first bitter reflection But, upon mature deliberation, she came to a different conclusion. It was this : To her besetting sin of carelessness, she hfd sacrificed her fondest hopes— her dearest It was a hard tf.sk—lbis standing in sell-judgment—discrirainately and sil mercifuily laying hold of her darling folly, and exposing it to the impartial and penetrating eye of an awakened conscience. But, with the help that is never lacking to those who seek, she performed it; and, though the ordeal was painful, the effects wore salutary and lasting. Keep your Ashes for Manure.— The American Agriculturist says: Wood ashes make one of tiie most valuable fertilizers within the reach of the far mer. The unleached article has the more potash, but the leached is thought to be quite as valuable. In leaching they shrink a good deal, and lime is usually added, which increases the val ue. They are generally sold, too, at a iess price. Ashes are well suited to all farm crops, and are very beneficial in the fruit yard and orchard. Most far mers sell wood in the cities and villages, and rather than go home empty they should carry back ashes and other fer tilizers, to replace the potash, lime and phosphoric acid that have been carried off in the crops and animals sold. Ash es show immediate effect from their ap plication, and at the same time last long in the soil. They are very highly ap predated in the onion growing districts, but may be appied with equal advan tage to ordinary farm crops. They should be kept as near the surface as possible, spread and harrowed into the seed bed or applied directly to the grow ing crops. Make a business of saving, buying and storing ashes during the winter for tho next season’s operations. Farmer’s girls are expected to understand housekeeping, but sometimes a bard barren life of toil begets in them a disgust, which leads to extreme care lessness and indifference in the nicer parts of home duties. Beware of this, I pray you. Study grace and beauty in the folds of a cur tain the arrangement of a table, tho posi tion of a chair —the amount of light and shade to give the right effect to all. Take the prettiest way of doing things, and you wili soon discover a charm in toil, and the effect on your own natures will be ennobling. Do not begrudge five minutes to trim a dish with green leaves upon the dinner table, not for getting to twist a spray of flowers or leaves amid the dark or gold of your hair ! Somebody’s eyes will brighten to see it, and, ere you are aware, you will become “a trap to catch a sunbeam.”— Country Gentleman. Cuke for Neuralgia.—Some time since we published, at the request of a friend, a receipt to cure the neuralgia, Half a drachm of salammoniac, in an ounce of camphor water, to be taken a tea spoonful at a dose, and the dose to be repeated several times at intervals of five minutes, if the pain be not relieved at once. Half a dozen different persons have since tried the receipt, and in every case, an immediate cure was effected. In one, the sufferer, a lady, had‘been affected for more than a week, and the physician was unable to alleviate her sufferings, when h solution of salammo nine in Camphor water relieved her in a few minutes.— Aka Californian. The quantity of milk drawn from a cow per annum, depends more than some imagine upon the milker. The best cow in the world may soon be spoiled by careless and irregular milk ing, whereas an ordinary animal may be made to yield much more ot the de licious beverage than usual, by the right performance of this simple operation. To find a good cow is not an easy thing —but still more easy than to find an accomplished milker Motto tor a rejected Buitor— He would, and she wouldn’t. He could, but she couldn’t. - SAVANNAH CARDS.
