the world enforces its dominion over
every Hiding question of manner and

the perils of ridicule. If you think it
right lo ill if-r from the times, and to
make a stand for any valuable point o I

Easj' Way to Improve Soli.
A sandy soil is greatly improved
mixing clay with it. The clay renders
it more retentive ofmoisture and gasses
both of which promote the growth of
plants. Clayey soils are very greatly
benefited by the addition of sand.
The presence of some sand in soil
chieflv composed of clay makes it eas¬
ier to work whother the plow, harrow
cultivator or hoe is employed. The
roller will not crush a lump of hard,
dry clay, but it will completely break
down one composed of a mixture of clay
and sand. In fact, large lumps are not
likely to bo found in soils where there
is a considerable araouut of sand; neith¬
er will a bard crust bo formed nor deep
cracks open. Nearly pure sand or
clay is unsuited to the growth of valua¬
ble plants but by combining the two
the foundation of a most excellent soil
may be formed. It is not uncommon
for one part of a farm to abound in clay
aud another in sand When this is the
case an effort should be made to com¬
bine the two. Sand often lies on hills
and ridges situated above the deposits
of clay and when this occurs the former
can be easily carried on to the latter
by the use of the scraper. To carry
the clay to the sand it will be necessary
to employ a wagon. Two pieces of
land, one composed of sand aDd the
othor of clay, may best* situated that a
cart or wagon can be advautageously
employed in carrying both. When
this is done, a load of sand can bo taken
to the clay land and a load of clay
brought back. The conditien of clay
land may be greatly improved Vy com¬
bining with it any snbstance that will
serve to render and keep it light. Corn¬
stalks. sawdust spout tan bark and
vegetable rubbish of any kind may bo
plowed in to excellent advantage. Peat
and swamp muck are valuable to apply
to either clay orsand, and can generally
be cheaply obtained.

A Sunday school teacher in Maine,
who bad grown eloquent in picturing to
Ins little pupils the beauties of heaven,
finally asked: “What kind of little boys
go to beaten?” A lively little four year
old boy held up his hand. “Well, you
may answer,’ said the teacher. “Dead

Corn Song.
1 was mails to be eaten,
And not to be drank:
To be threshed in a barn,
Not soaked in a tank.
I came as a blessing
When put in a mill,
As a blight and a curse
When ruu tkrongh a still.
Make me up into loaves:
And your children arc fed;
But if into drink.
I will starve them instead.
In bread I’m a servant,
The eater shall rule;
In drink I am master,
The drinker a fool.
Then remember the warning—
My strength I’ll employ,
If eaten to strengthen,
If drunk to destroy
Catching Cold.
The etiquettes of protection against
cold are settled by the majority and the
majority, up to a certain age, are not
liable to cold from draughts, unless
they are uuusually out of condition.
They have healthy skins, they live
habitually out-of-doors, or they are
strong enough to stand the daily douche
of cold water which makes those who
can bear it insensible to draughts.
They therefore settle that the true way
of avoiding cold is to face its causes,
and “harden yourself,’ which is per¬
fectly true for them and perfectly false
for their victims; and they denounce all
wrappings aud especially all unusual
wrappings as “effeminate,’ coddling,’
and the like. They have extinguished
the skull cap, the wollen veil, and the
comforter/ aud they prevent the gen
eral resort to sand-bags aud India rub
^® r edgings tor lolding-doors aud
Prench windows - They “want the air,’
I tbe y say, and never can imagine that
they may b© selfish in warning it.
They have a moral popishness about
them as bad as the early risers. Air
even very cold air, injures very tew peo¬
ple Indeed, though curiously enough,
the uneducated, who have only in¬
stincts and not knowledge, are of a
different opinion; but currents of colder
air, popularly called “draughts/ do iu
jure a minority with sensitive skins or
relaxed membranes very much indeed.
—London Spectator.
Castleberry of Forsyth county is
seventy-eight years old. He has uot a
hair on his head, his beard has ali couoe
out, and he has no eve-brows or eye¬
lashes. He says that ho has been
troubled with a strange feeling in his
bead, and that some time ago he com¬
menced loosing his hair, until now his
face is as smooth as a hoy’s and his
head as hairless as the palm of the
hand. The loss of bis eye-lashes and
eye-brows gives birn a very singular
appearance .—Dahlonega Signal.
Obligation to Parents.
If you perceive that anything in your
ways makes your parents unhappy, you
ought to have no peace utuill you have
corrected it; and if you liud yourself
indifferent or msttus.ble to their will
and wishes, depend upon it yours is a
carnal, disobedient, ungrateful heart.
If you love them, keep their comiuaud
uiems, otherwise love is a mere word in
Hie mouth, ora notion in the fancy, but
not a ruling principle in the heart.
They know much of the world, you ve¬
ry little; Hast them, there fore, wbeu
they differ from you aud refuse compli¬
ance with your desire. They watch
over you for God, aud are entitled to
great deference and cheerful obedience.
You may easily shorten tho lives of af
fsctionate aud conscientious parents by
misconduct, bad temper aud alienation
from their injunctions. Let not this sin
bo laid to your charge.
