A MISTAKEN IDEA. ■There is u mistaken idea, preva- I lent among the youth of this country, ttint it is a duty, not only to nvenge hu insult, but to be on alert to an insult, on any occasion. Many a deadly duel has been fought and many a promising life has been sac* rifieed, because of this over sensitive notion that a mun must not miss an opportunity to avenge a fancied wrong, says the Rome Tribune. This idea is altogether at variance with every noble sentiment and every i> stiuct of reason and common sense. Every breach of good manners does not amount to a deadly affront and neither does every rude remark rise to the dignity of an insult demand ing a summary revenge. These mat ters should be weighed carefully be fore tbiy are acted upou. Of course men, young or old, say and do things, on the impulse of the moment, that they should not say or do if given tin e for i t flection. There fore they should barn to control tit- ir impulses. It is much easier to pejpetrnt a wrong than to remedy a mistake, amt the way to live agrt < nl ly with your fellow men is to Le slow to anger cr to resent a fancied wrong. He not t v-iron ly to take offense. Cultivate a spirit of forgiveness and learn to overlook things that may worry and annoy for the moment but the effects of which soi n pass away and are forgotten. This is mue i better than to be eternally engaged n a fend or a wrat gle over some tii- Mil matter, which ueitler dignity nor om r demand that you should re sent.

The water melon industry in the South is a peculiar one ; and each year sets it increasing in volume and if the season i at all favourable the water melon crop is one of the best paying crops the Southern farmer cau make, as teing specially a cash crop and c ming in at a lime of the year between other crops such as the early truck crops and the main farm nope, it fills the gap in a very satis factory manner. The question is often asked why is it that the Northern markets never get the extraordinary sweet and lus cious water melons you find through out the home markets of the South ? The reason of that is that the best shipping melons and those that will ship s itisfactorily to the North are (f an inferior quality ; to get a good shipping melon it h is to nave a tough rind, and thick as well, and the real sugary thin rind melon will not ship to any distance, but it has been prov ed by practical demonstration, that by using potash liberally in the fer tilization of the so l it sweetens the melons and tends to toughen and harden the rind of the most ttiin and tender varieties, so that there is a possibility of being ab'e to ship as far North as we choose even our very best varieties of this crop. In this latitude melons for ship - ping to far away markets have to be planted the last week of February or lirst week in March and if a late frost in March should come along after the plants are up, we have to cover them with sacks or p iper, a double fold of a piece of newspaper held down by a lit tle soil ut the edges is ample protection for quite a tew de grees of frost. I find a water melon crop dots best to follow a root crop such as po tatoes, either Irish or sweet, or to follow immediately a winter crop of turnips, carrots or beets, the soil should be well plowed and just, in the best condition possible before planting. Water melons require but very little nitrogen for a fertilizer as the vines draw about ull they want from the atmosphere. A httle cot ton seed meal for a starter should be applied, say about one hundred pounds per acre at the last harrow ing before planting, also at the same time not less than four hundred pounds per acre of sulphate of pot ash will go far towards making a satisfactory crop. About a week be fore planting tune lay off tho land in checks, eight feet each way is quite wide enough, in liese checks work about a shovelful of well rotted sta ble manure and about a pound of acid phosphate that analyzes not less than fourteen per cent of phosphoric acid, all this has to be well mixed with the soil in the hill and the hills left level with the ground, because as a rule March is a very dry mouth here and if the hills are raised above the level they ari opt to get too dry to sprout the seed good and grow satisfactorily. My reason for usiug stable manure at all is that it helps to warm the soil in the hills and give the plant, a good send off towade a successful crop-bearer, in this way you will observe there is quite a hea vy application of potash but being in i the sulphate it goes a long way to help sweeten the melons and to pre serve them from rotting or taking the blackhead, more particularly if it gets rainy weather before the cop is ready to market. I have tried Ku'u lt ami Muriate of Potash but iiud Sulphate to be decidedly the best, lviunit and n’t give such a tough and huid mid, and melons grown with it me somewhat subject to Black-head. Muriate gives a tougher and harder -and iliKti Ivun't but not near sweet, or sugary a* the sulphate gives A great many growers use cotton seed meal exclusively ; this may do uu seme soils particularly where there is lime iu its composition, or it the previous crops had been well dosed with Potash, us it is very sel dom that the crop that it is used tor takes all the IMash giveu it, and that is one extraordinary good poiut in I tne use oi l’otasb, that it stays right there in the soil waiting to bo called up for some future crop, but if there is no I'otasu in the soil, a crop of wa tei melons made with cotton seed menl will net ripen a third of its bids, the other two thirds will rot before they get full grown ; but iu growing 1 wut'. r melons to perfection ode has 'gut to know the nature of his soil, | what it contains of the three neces [ sary elemeuts, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and Potash, particuluily potash, und whatever is deficient for the sue cess ot tin crop has got to be adde i in the most available form possible. Cn old laud rich iu humus andorgau ic mut.tr. Potash sweetens the soil aud the result is a sweeter product let it be a water melon or anything else. Our Warm sandy soils of the South being deficient iu lime and rich in saccharine matter is preeminently the home of luscious auu sweet fruit and vegetables of ail kinds. I find the longer I goou usiug aud experimenting with potash of all kinds, the better 1 like it and when I hear (as I often do) people say that “this Potash crazs” as “is all nonsense,” and that just as good crops were made before Potash was ever heard of a6 there is made with it. I know for a fact that tho j e people who speak thus nev r proper ly tested it or tbev would talk in a different su-am. Potash as a fertili zer has come to stay', and in proof we find its use yearly largely on the increase, and in a very few years the Farmer and Ti uit Grower who wdl not use Potash iu one shspe or other will have to take a back-seat, a his products wdl be so much inferior that no one will pitroeize him. C. K. McQcarrik. D -Funiak Springs, t la. About Politics, I noticed in the last iscue cf vonr paper that, one of the prominent an and intelligent citiz ns of Pike county ; s reported as saying that h ■ hd be come and sgusted with politics, and almost decided that he would Dever vote again. I am not* surprised to hear such language from a man of integrity and refinement. I cannot doubt for a moment that there are thousands of goo 1 and intelligent men in our coun try who have long siuce become dis g isted with the harangues and an gry speeches, in and out of congress on the currency question. lam w<dl pleised with the plat form of Col. I’. R. Mills, of Spalding county. He favors honest money, and so do I, and that a dollar,wheth er of silver or gold, should be woith 100 cents, and that a gold dollar should be worth no more and no les than a silver dollar. 1 heartily indorse Col. Mills when he says that he does not believe it right to discriminate against either metal, and that so long as silver dollars can be made in vel lie equal to gold dollars the same should be coined by the government. I remember that. Alexander Bamil ton, one of the ablest financiers that this or any other country has ever produced, said, on a very important occasion, that to contract the curren cy of any country meant poverty and suffering. Now is it a fact that our congress is utterly unable to approx innate to the amount or volume of money needed to transact the busi ness of our country ? An editor of a Boston paper said not long since that he verily wished that there was a Darnel Webster in the United .States Congress. Let me right here respond to the Bos ton editor by saying amen, and that it would be well to have a Henry Clay, too, that the united efforts of the intellectual gianis might, as in goneby days bring about a reconcilia tion between hostile parties touching the vexed question which lias so long been agitated, anil upou which our leading men have divided. In conclusion 1 will venture to say that we need a few more men in Con gress who are larger than a poluicul party. I feel a greater solicitude for the welfare and prosperity of my country than I do for the success of any political party. J. Bush. Quick in effect, heals and leaves no scar.
