BUiue to control and direct tho affair* j
of the country : j
“ Some people are always looking
forward to troubles and difficulties!

plained to her mistress that she was

that she migiit get married Home day, J
and that she might become the mothei

fall into a hot, oven and gets burnt to '

“ A utory is to hi of an eminent
Methodist circuit rider to this effect :
Being id the home of a man of this
sort, lie was informed that a freshet
Imd raised all the streams, and advised
not to prosecute his journey any fur
ther. Assuring his friend that he
would continue his j airney, he mount
ed his horse. * You may be üblo to
cross such cris ks as come in your way
tomorrow and next day,’ said the
growler, ‘but how will you manage
Big Sandy ?’ 4 My dear brother,’ said
the preacher, *1 have been traveling
a long lime, and have found i’ to boa
good rule never lo crons a riwr until l
get to i/.’
“ Our very ardent sticklers for Dem
ocratic principles might learn a lesson
from this. Let us all wait and see
whether wo are required to take a
4 new departure’ before we start, and
let us aee wliut the platform is before
we swear w« will not get on it.
44 And, in like manner, let us e
whether we can get. the reins of Gov
ernment in our hands, before we de
termine what we shall do with the
XIV and XV amendments. It will
then be time enough to dispone of
them.”
A Correction.
Wo Are in roceipt of a communica
tion In which tho writer complains
that we hare done injustice to an esti
mable young lady in Cherokee county,
by stating, in a recent issue of our pa
per, that we were credibly informed
that she was in the habit of taking
frequent rides on horseback in com
pany with a negro. We are totally
u> acquainted with the party, and on
ly mentioned what was told us by a
resjionsible, Christian gentleman, who
lives iu the neighborhood, and whoso
name we can give if necessary.
It is not our intention to do injus
tice to any one, and wo take great
pleasure in giviug lo the public the
statement furnished by our c»»ire
sjxMident, and hope it will be satisfac
tory to the aggrieved young lady and
her friends.
Our correspondent, writing from
Barnwell, S. C., says:
" Die circumstances are these: The
\ mug lady iu question, a few woek-t
ago, weut fr<Hn this State and county
where she had been laboring for uiue
month*, as teacher, to f pend her three
month* vacation with her parents who
live in Cherokee county, Gu. Her
health hud become slightly impaired
by constant application to her duties,
and her anxious mother suggested rill
ing on horseback as perhaps the best
exercise for her. The young lady
knew but little about riding, henco tlio
necessity of some ouo to accompany
her. Her brother cannot at all times
find time to do so, and in order that
someone shall bo uear in case of acci
dout, her cautious mother vtu*y proper
ly sends along with her a trusty and
respectful house boy as au attendant,
not a large bwk nigger , as your corre
spondent has it. And thus ends this
story of sfx'iat equality, that has such a
wonderful effect upon the sensitive
nerves of jour correspondent.
Respectfully,
A Friekd of the Family.”
We hope that the above correction
aud explanation will be publishod, so
far as is necessary, iu order that am
ple justioe may bo done.

Hen Don't Warn I Southern
Trade.
In a conversation ft (lay or two since
with a prominent tobacco merchant of
this city, and a gentleman who stand**
high ns u Christian and an honest
man, be told us that on a recent vi»it
to New York, be went into the great
tobacco f ietorv of Hie Lorillards. The
i ••bjec.l of his visit wuh to make sons
x enaive pureh.ises of siuiff and to
bueco, ns he, like nenrly every dealer
in the South, had tr ded more or less
1 .vith this firm. Before making his
pin chases, be informed the business
man of the concern that be had been
solicited by the Lee Monument Assoei
at ion to establish ngenreis in that ci’.y
for the sale of the picture of that im
mortal hero, and in tho course of n
business transaction, asked the mana
ger if be would not subscribe for one.
b’or a reply he received the following,
given in a most abrupt and insulting
manner, -‘Sir, I would not permit the
picture of such a traitor and rebel to
come into my house, if I knew it—
much less to encourage the building of
a monument to his in- m <ry by paying
my money for it. I think it uu insult
for you to ask me to do such a thing.”
The Atlantiau asked Mr. Loriliard
if he di«l not care f.»r the Southern
trade. To which he replied, that lie
would not give one cen for it.
It is unnecessary to ndd that the
gentleman felt insulted at the remarks,
and changed his mind about purchas
ing the goods.
Would it not be a good idea for
• >ur merchants, in ordering goods in
lino, to remember this insult to our
section? The Lorillards have striven
harder than any otln r house of its class
to obtain onr trad *, and have grown
rich u]M>n it. Hardly a house through
out the country but what has a flashy
card of these men hanging in their
stores as uu advertisement for their
goods.
The spunky old gentleman referred
to in this artii lo immediately wrote
home to his partners to take down all
such signs, and uever }ierunt ouo of
them to be put up again.
We have heard of several otner gen
tlemen in the country doing the same
thing, and will cease to trade with
any bouse which offers such an insult
to the noble dead. —Atlanta Sun.

spreading themselves like the green

como to nought and to lick the dust

to grief and that right speed ly. “A

remember that the “ wages of iniqui

any good. They may build their flue
houses and magnificent barns, bu!
there is a curso upon them, and if
they stand, they will stand as monu

t&T The corn crop in Cherokee
county has recently suffered serious

I that a gre .t pari of it is lying pros

j gathered soon. Taken altogether, the
present year has been one of disasters ;
and farmers have labored under many
difficulties ; yet things might lie icorae,

Tli© iliimorou* in Farming.
’The Qitnchita (La.) Telegraph sends
!his broadside into the trilx* of nil
cot ton on-the-brain planters:
Planters generally understand their
business. As here may bo few, how
ever, who do not, we offer them a little
gratuitous advice.
It. is a well settled maxim, that corn
grown in the West is better than that
grown here. It comes further, and
goes further, grain for grain.
Asa crop for twelve or thirteen
months, corn will not answer at all.
Planted in March, you can’t work it
safely after June, and you are bound
to get it out of the field in October or
November, at the farthest ; otherwise
it will rot. Asa manure for next
year’s crop, peas, or cotton is much
better.
Corn is objectionable, because it
does not need any bagging or ties ;
you can’t send your wagons to mar
ket fifty or sixty miles if you raise corn,
and bring back pork, bacon, lard, etc.
Corn is a good provender for stock,
but not so good as cotton seed, and
they are just tho thing to make soou
pork of pigs.
In tho spring when the weather is
not warm, and tho earth loose and
dry as in summer, corn must necessn
ily be worked. It will not wait, and go
through 44 Juno sweat,” like cotton.
Horses and cows grow much fat tor
on cotton blooms than green corn,
and a roasted cotton boll is superior
as an article of diet to a roasting ear.
Little children will ciy before they
are out of 44 their little beds” for roast
ed cotton bolls. Try it.
In summer, fall and winter, yon
will lmve very little lo do, if you plant
corn. You will be conqx lied to keep
your hands employed to improve your
fences, set out orchards, raiao stock,
build out houses and lots, and do oth
er wholly unnecessary thiugs, so as
to kill time until tho uoxt planting
season opens. Or, if you prefer it,
you may reduce yoiu laboring force,
and curtail your pay roll. This, how
ever, is never desirable to a country
where there are no taxes to pay—like
ours for instance.
Il is a result of growing corn, that
tho country always has a surplus
stork of poultry, of meat, and some
money to lend at interest, or to invest
iu public works. It is much belter to
buy provisions in the West for cash,
to operate at home on a credit, with
one eye on bankruptcy, and to appeal
to foreign capitalists to build your
railroade, etc.
It is a grand thing to have a com
mission merchant, and support him
lil »ei*:«lly-—and let your old minister ;
and Id* horse starve !
44 What’s the price of cotton ?’’ How
could you ever ask that question, till
ing your mouth with the words, if you
should make a fool of yourself by
raising n Hood crop of corn ? People
would laugh at you. And how could
you ever draw a draft and lmve the
thrilling pleasure of having your draft
44 protested ?”
“My father’s house,” said a little
boy to another, “is finer than your
father’s, because it has a cnpuloon it.”
“ No it is not finer,” retorted the other,
4 because my father’s house has got a
mortgage on it.” If you raise plenty
of corn, you will never get to the emi
nence of a mortgage on your house,
and you will die without a big succes
sion for the lawyers and courts to
light over.
No Restating tli© Women.
A Berlin correspondent of the New
York Nation relntes tho following ns
having come under his own observa
tion :
44 On the entry of one of the Montz
regiments, (the eighty-seventh, which
was recruited iu Nassau,) I witnessed
a little incident which is worth being
narrated hero. Tho regiment was on
its way to the Sehlosplatz, when a
stout, resolute peasant woman broke
through the ranks, put away
the officer at the head of his squad,
and embraced her husband, loudly
crying, 44 He lias belonged to you long
enough, now he is mine once more,
and you will never get hold of him
again P
When the other women standing ,
along the street, and eagerly watching
for their turn, noticed this unceremo
nious procedure, tliero was no longer
any re-strumt ; they all broke into tbe
lines, and each one seized her son,
husband or sweetheart. The Captain
could not «l< 'end himself agaiust this
invasion, and good naturedly suffered
to pass what- he could not stop, and ;
led Ir.s men and women to the Belli os- |
plptz, where, amid the cheering of tho!
people, the women assist'd tho sol-;
•hers in unstrapping their knapsacks, j
r In Id their needle-guns, while in the !
otlnr hand < aeh curiud a bundle of j
modest citizen’s clothes, and afterward!
all ato and drank merrily together.”
We clip the following item l
from the Courier Journal:
Mr. Josiah Newnan, an officer in'
the Young Meu’s Christian Assoeia
; tion, at N wton, L. 1., left home quite
! suddenly the other day. The most
curious part of the story is that he j
got six or eight htiudred miles from
I home before he found out that the
woman he had taken with him wasn't
his wife. At least wo suppose ho
; didn’t find it out any sooner, or he
! surely would have carried her back.

*‘ well known New Orleans
Munster, walking along the street a
few days siutv, met a lady for whom
he had recently performed the mar
riage service. Desiring to renew the
acquaintance (for the la iv had inter
est, and him greatly nt the time,) be ac
costed her with tho remark :
"Madam, did l not have the pleas
ure of marrying you a few days since?”
‘I was married a few days since sir ’
"Yes- I thought I was not mista
ken. I married you.’
“Indeed ! \\\ H, J thought my hus
band was a much younger man than
you are; but I have not seen enough
of him to make his acquaintance thor
oughly. By the way, my dear, my
chignon is getting shabby; please give
ine some money to buy* a water-fall.
Evidently this was more than the
minister bargained for, and with a
hasty Ihiw, accorapained by "No, you
arc not the lady—l’m mistak in,” he
took his leav.— lndex.
A pious negro woman was once
caught by her master stealing a goose,
and the next Sunday partook of the

costed her us fallows:
‘‘Why, Hannah. I saw you to-day at

"Yes, tank de Lord, inassa, I was
lowed to be dar wit de rest of His
family.”
‘‘But., Hannah, I was surprised to
see y< >u there,” lie said. ‘‘How is it
about the goose ?”
She looked a little surprised, as if
she did not understand tho question
but catching the meaning exclaimed :
‘‘Why. sab, do you think I’se a gwine

Punch told the story some years
since of a man who loaned an umbrel

not returned, and on another wet dis
agreeable day, he called for it, but
found his frioud at the doqf going out
with it iu his hand.
’‘l’ve come for my umbrella," ex
claimed the loaner.
‘‘Can’t help that,” exclaimed the
Iwirrower, ‘‘don’t you nee that I am
going ont with it ?”
‘‘Well—yes,” replied tho lender, ns
tonished at such outrageous impu
dence—yes, ‘‘but what am l to do?”
‘•Do ? ’ replied the other, as he threw
up the top and walked off—“Do as I
did, borrow.”

Exuberant Health
Is a blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with
strong constitutions and vigorous frames are
apt to neglect the precautions necessary to
preserve these precious endowments. In
deed, as a rule, the most healthy and robust
a man is, the more liberties he is inclined to
take with his own physique. It is some
consolation to the naturally weak and feeble
to know that they can be so invigorated and
built up, by a proper use of the means
which science has placed at their disposal,
as to have a much better chance of longlife,
and exemptions from disease and pain, than
the most athletic of their fellows who arc
foolish enough to suppose themselves invul
nerable, and act accordingly.
It is not too much to say that more than
half the people of the civilized world need
an occasional tonic, to enable them to sup
port the strain upon their bodies and minds,
which the fast life of this reckless age occa
sions. In fact, pure, wholesome, unexciting
tonic is the grand desideratum of the busy
millions, and they have the article in Hos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters. Kt is a stnminal
medicine, i. e. it imparts permanent strength
to weak systems and invigorates delicate
constitutions. Its reputation and its sales
have steadily increased. Competitive pre
parations have been introduced ad libitum.
and, as far as the public is concerned, ad
tim/xrum, in the hope of rivaling it; but they
have all either perished in tho attempt, or
been left far in the rear. It has been the
great medical success of the present centu
ry, and it is quite certain that no proprieta
ry medicine in this country is as widely
known, or as generally used.
