THE FUTTJBE IS BETTES THAN THE FAIT.
Not where long passed ages sleep,
Seek we Eden’s folded trees, \
In the future, golden deep, ■ ■*
Are its mystic harmonies. ‘
All before us lies the way,
Give the past unto the wind ;
All before us is the Day, *
Night and Darkness are behind.
Eden with its angels bold,
*c. Love and flowers and coolest sea,
Is not ancient story told,
But a glowing prophecy 1
In the spirits perfect air,
In the passions tame ‘and kind,.
Innocence from selfish care.
The real Eden we shall find.
shall come,
P at ' e nt the striving,
heart at home,
**n?inking wise and faithful living.
When all error is worked out
From the healt and from the life;
When the sensuoua ia laid low
Through the Spirit’s holy strife.

-True and beautiful and sound;
Then all Earth is sanctified,
lip springs Paradise around.
- .- BACON AND^GREENS.
BY HON. WILLIAM It. SMITH.
I have lived long enough to be rarely mistaken,
And borne uiy full share of life’s changeable
scenes,
But my woes have been solaced by good greens and
bacon,
And my joys have been doubled by bacon and
greens. ; *
Wl at a thrill of remembrance -e’en now they awa-
ken.
Os childhood's gay morning and youth's merry
scenes,
When one day wc had greens and a plate full of
bacou,
And the next we had bacon and a plhte full of
greens. _
Ab, well I remember when sad and forsaken,
Heart wrung by the scorn of a miss in her teens,
How I rushed from her sight to my loved greens
7~ ~ and bacon,
And forgot my despair over bacon and greens.
When the banks refused specie and credit was sha
ken,
I shared in Hie wreck and was ruinetWn means,
My friends all declared I had not ‘saved niy bacon,”
But I lived—for I still had my bacon and greens.
Oh, there is a charm in the dish rightly taken,
That from custards and jellies atul epicure weens--
Stick your fork in the fat—wrap your greens round
the bacon,
And you’ll vow there is nothing like bacon and
greens.
If some fairy a grant of three wishes would make
one.
So worthless as I—and so laden with sin, .
I’d. wish for all the greens in the- world—then the
bacon—
And ffien wish for a little more bacon and greena.
- ‘ postscript.
I return to confess that for once I’m mistaken,
As much as I’ve seen of this world and its scenes,
There’s one thing that’s equal to both greens and
bacon.
And that is a dish of good bacon and greens.

BUT LOVENGOOD’S BADDY ACTING HORSE.

“ Hold that ere boss down to the yearth.”
“He’s spreading his tail fly now.”
** Keep him whar Ije is.”
These and like expressions were address
ed to a queer-looking, long-legged, slim t-bo
died, white-haired, hog-eyed, funny sort of a
genius, fresh Trom a second-hand clothing
store, and mounted W ‘Tar-pole,’ a nick-tail
ed, long. poor horse, and enveloped all over
in a perfect net-work of bridle reins, scrap
pers, martingales, straps, circingles and red
ferreting, who had reined op in front of

UeVdead as a still worm; poor old Tic key

“ What killed him Snt ?” said an anxious
inquirer.
•• Why, nothing, yo tarnation fool; he
jist died standing up at that. Warn’t that
good pluck 1 Froze stiff; no, not adzgctly,
but starved fust, and then frozed afterwards;
so stiff that when dad and me pushejl him
over, he jist stuck out so, (spreading bis arms
and legs.) like a carpenter's bench, and we
whited seventeen days for’ him to thaw, afore
we could skin him. Well that whs—dad an’
me, (counting his fingers,) dad ab’ me, Sal
an Jake, —fbol Jake wc used to call him for
Phineas, an Simeon, an JonAs, an’
Chariot can, an’ Casbus Henry
Clay, an’ Noah Dan, aiff^atherino second,
an’ Oleopatry, Antony an* Jane Lind, an’
Tom Bullion, the baby and the prospect, an’
inarm herself, all left without atiy burse to
crop with. That was a nice mess for a spec
table family to be slushed about in, wsrn’t it?
t declare jf I didn’t feel like steelin’ a horse
sometimes Well, we waited and rested,
and waited until well onto ffiraw berry time,
hoping some stray’ horse room ‘tape along j

drive me and-we’ll breakup corn ground
and then the old quilt (that’s inarm) and
the brats can plant or let alone, jist as they
please,’ ■ v< . . ■
s “So oat he goes to the papaw, an’ peeled
a right smart Chance of bavk, an marm an’
me made gears for dad, and they become him
nightly j then he would have a bridle-—so 1
git„ an old umbrella what I tound—it's a fet
tle piece of iron, sorter like onto a pitchfork,
ye know—ap’ we bent and twisted it sorter
into a bridle bit, snail shape, (dad wanteff it
curb, as he hadn't worked for some time, and
must sorter feel his oats and go to cavortin.)
Well, when we got the bridle all fixed on
dad, he champed his bit jist like a real horse,
(he always was a most complicated old fool,
cnyhow, an’ marm always said So whet! he
warn’t about,) then 1 put on the gears', an’
out dad an* I goes into the field, Ia lqgMmT
dad by tho bridle, and totiu’ the gopher pWfil
ou my hack. t
“ When I came to the fence I let down a
gap; that made dad mad; he wanted to jump
the fence on all fours, boss way. I bitched
him into the gopher, and way he went, dad
leanln’ for’ard to his pullin’ right peart, and
we made sharp plowin’, dad goin right over
the bushes and sprouts same as a rani horse,
the only differonee is, he weivt on two legs.
Presently we came to a sassafrass patch, and
dad, to act np his character as alioss, bulged
sqaar inter it, an’ tore down a hornets nest as
big as a boss’ head ; and all the tribe kivered
him rite strate. He rared once or twice, an’
fetched a squeal wus nor ary horse in the dis
trict, au’ sot into runnin away jist as natural
as ever you seed.
“ I let go the plow and hollered woa. dad,
won, but ye mout as well said woa to a loco
motive. Jewbilikins, how be rnn! When
he come to a bush he’d clear it, gopher and
all; pr’aps he tliot there must be another set
tlement of bald hornets iu it; and that it was
safer to go over than thro, an* quicker done.
Every now and then he’d paw one side of
, his head with fust one fore leg and then totli
er; then he’d gin himself an open-handed
slap, tbht sounded like a wagon whip, and
mimin’ all the time and carry-in’ that gopher
jist about as fast and high from the yearth ns
ever a gopher was carried. I swar when be
cum to the fence he busted rite thru it, taren
nigh inter seven panels, scatterin’ and brea
kin* the rails mightily ; and here he left the
gopher, gears, swingletrees, and klevis, all
mixed up, not worth A durn ; most of his
shirt stuck to the broken end of a splintered
rail, and nigh onto a pint o’hornets staid
with the shirt, a stinging it all over—the bal
ance on ’em, about a gallon an’ a half, kept
on with dad. He seemed to run jist adzact
ly as fast of a hornet could fly, for, it was
the tightest race 1 ever did see; down t{mi
the grass they all went, the hornets Sorter
makin it look like smoke all around dad’s
head, and he with nothin’ tin but the bridle,
and nigh onto a yard o’ plow line sailing bo
hind him, I seed lie was aimin’ for the swi
min’ hole in the creek, whar the bluff is
over, twenty feet perpendicular to the wa
ter, and it’s nigh onto ten feet deep. To
keep up his character as a boss, .when he got
to the bluff he jist leaped oft’, or rather tie
jist kept on runuin’. Now, rite tliar, boys,
he overdid the thing, if that was what lie
was arter, for tliar’s natty boss darned fool
enough to leap over sicli a place; a mqle
mout have done it, but dad warn’t. acting
mule. I crept up to the edge and looked
over. Thar was old dad’s bald head, for all
the world like a peeled ingun, a bobbin’ up
and down, and the hornets a sailin’ and cir
clin’ round, turkey buzzard fashion, and ever
once in m while, one, and sometimes ten ’ud
make a dip at dad’s head. He kept up a
peart dodgin’ under; some times they’d hit
him and some times they’d hit the water,
and the water was kivered with drowned
hornets.
“ • Wh|t on yenrtli are you doin’ tliar dad?’
says I.
“ * Don’t (dip) yon see these inferncl var
mints (dip) onto me V
“ ‘ Wbnj!’ sed 1, 4 them are hoss flies thar;
ye ain’t rally afraid of them, are ye?’
44 4 Hoss flies!’ sed dad ; 4 they’re rale (dip)
genewine bald hornets, you (dip) infernal
cuss.’
44 4 Weil, dad, you’ll hare to stay thar till
nitc. and arter they go to roost, you come
home and I’ll feed you.’ \
44 And knowin dad’s unmodified natnr, I
broke from tliem parts and sorter cum to the
copper mines. I staid hid till about next ar
ternoou, when I seed a fellow traveling, and
sed 1: 4 What was goin’ on at the cabin’ tills
side of the creek when you passed it?’
44 * Why, nothin’ much, only a man was sit
tin’ in the door with oarry shirt on, and a wo
man wad greasin’ his back and arms, and
his head was about as big as a ten gallon
keg, and lie hadn’t the fust sign of an eye
all smooth.
“‘That man’s my dad,’ se.d I.’ | *
“*Been much filin’ in this neighborhood
lately !’ sed the traveler, dryly.
‘•‘None wuth speakin’ ol personally or
pertieulailv,’ sed I. V
44 Now, boys, 1 haiht teed dad since, and
would be afeard to meet him in the next ‘ten
yufurs. Let’s drink.” , {

HAXIHB FOB HARRIED WOMEN.
1. Let every wife be p-rsnsded that there
are two ways of governing a family ; the
first is, by the suppression of that which will
belong to force ; the second, to the power of
mildness, to which every strength will yield.
One is the power of the husband; a wife
should never employ any other arms than
those of gentleness. When a woman M
enstoms herself to fay, 1 will, she deserves
to loke her empire. *
‘2, Avoid contradicting your husband.—
Wlwn we smell a mho it is to inhale the
sweets of odo; we likewise look for every
thing that is amiable in women. Whoover
is often contradicted feels insensibly aversion
for the person who contradicts, which gains
strength by time, and, whatever be her good
qualities, fs not easily destroyed.
k3* Occupy yourself only with household
Airs ; r wait until your husband confides to
you.those of higher importance, and do not
give your advice till he asks it.
4. Never take it upon yourself to be a
censor of your husband’s morals, and do not
read lectures to him. Let your preachings
be a good example, and practice virtue your
self to make him in love with it.
5. Command his attention by being hind
to him ; never exact any thing-'and you will
attain much; appear always flattered by
the little lie does you, which wilt excite him
to perform more.
6. All tnen are vain; never wound his
vanity, not even in the most triflingi instan
ces. A wife may have more sense than her
liusbanfi.lmt she should never aeem to knowit.
7. When a man gives wrong couusel.
never make hin feel that he has done so, hut
lead him on by dogrees to what is rational
with mildness and gentleness, but when he
is convinced leave him to tho merit of haw
ing found out what is jnat and reasonable.
8. When a husband is out of temper, be
have obligingly to him; if lie is abusive,
never retort; and never prevail over him to
bumble him.
9. Choose well your friends, have but few,
and be careful of following their advice in
all matters.
10. Cherish neatness without luxury, and
pleasure without, excess; dress with taste,
particularly with modesty; vary in the fash
ions of your dress, especially as regards col
ors. It gives a change to the ideas, and re
calls pleasing recollections. Such things
may appear trifling, but they are of mare
importance than is imagined.
11. Never be curious to pry into your
husband’s concerns, but obtain liis confidcnse
at all all times, by that which you repose in
him. Always preserve order and economy;
avoid being out of temper, and be careful
never to scold ; by those means lie will fiud
his own* bouse pleasanter than any otlusr.
12. Seem always to obtain information
from him, especially before company, though
yon may pass yourself for a simpleton.
l3- Never forget that a wife owes all her
importance so-that- ot her husband. l<eave
him entirely master of his own actions, to go
and eome whenever he thinks fit. A wife
ought to make her company mumble to her
husband, that be will not be able to exist
without it; then he will not seek For pleasure
abroad, if she do not partake of it'with him.
HOW TO PBEVENT COLDS.
If people were blessed with common sense
and a little wholesome self-denial,’ they
might often escape severe colds and fevers
by resolute measures adopted in season. A
correspondent of the 44 Evangelist” sends
tbe following communication, giving an in
fallible recipe for a bad cold if it ia handled
in time. Perhaps some of our readers may
have courage enough to maketbe experiment.
44 There is, probably, not a man, woman or
child, who is not as often ns (pica a year af
flicted with a severe cold, ends iu ,a
cough or catarrh ; and thousands there are
who die every year of consumption, brought
on by taking cold. He, then, who should
discover a certain and effectual remedy ’ for
tliis complaint, would be justly regarded as
one of tlie greatest benefactors .of the age.”
The writer does not profess to have discov
ered such a reiftody, bat he wishes to atteat
the truth of tlie following certain a:td effec
tual expedient for preventing ajgftold. A
cold cannot be easily bn> MUkan be
prevented, it4* of no impoi-taßctpfijfcJutow
how it may Ist cured. vtir' 1
“ a bad and, like measles (FmmmLjjtF.
other simiiarailments, will run its coiMBM
about ten dafrs,iu spite of what may be Wmt
for it antes* remedial means are
for it within forty-eight hours of Ita incen
tioo. Many a useful life might be spared t<S
be increasingly useful, by cutting a cold
short off in the following safe, but simple
manner. On the frstdny of- taking a cold,
there is a very unpleasant sensatiou of chil
liness. The moment you observe this, go to
your room and stay there. Keep “it at sneh
a temperature a* will entirely prevent this
chilly feeling, even if it requires 100 degrees
of Fahrenheit. • * / ‘ r 'M
“In addition to this, put your foet in wfti
ter half leg deep, as hot as you can bear it,
adding hot water from time te time, for a
quarter of an hour, so that the water shall be
hotter than when you put them in. Then
dry them thoroughly, and nut On thick,
warm woolen stockings, even if it be ftftin
mer—fiir summer colds are most dangerous
—and for twenty laiurs eat not *n atom of
food, tint drink as largely as you desire of
any kind ot warm teas, and at the end of
that time thft told will be entirely broken
without any medicine whatever. Efficient
as the above means are, not one in a thou

arc by the hope that a odd will pass away
of itself. Nevertheless, this article will now
and then pass under the eye of a wise man
who does not choose to rmi the risk of try

Tlie above expedient ia a severe one fur

From the Montgomery Mull.
•• cornua a amd aoivo out.”
In the y earl 84-, when the whole country i
Wsgt*lUd end excited wheat Miller's pro-1 <
pbecy in regard to the destruction of the j
world, your correspondent happened to he i
living ina very quiet and retired village in <
the eastern part ol North Carolina. This *
village wai situated on the bank or a broad
river, not far from its entrance into Pamjien
Bound. Its inhabitants were a qniet, sociable, 1
hospitable people’ who pawed the time in a j
pleasant way among themselves, far ttepars- <
ted from the world of commerce and the in- <
tercourse of large cities.
Among the rest was a worthy eld gentle
man who possessed considerable property,
and was generally esteemed as a man of hon
or and probity, but who had one particular
weakness—he could not resist the sedcutive
influence of the bottld. Nearly every night
he would have to bo earned borne by his
friends and deposited iu bed. His wife made
every effort to reform bim, but with out suc
cess. j ‘ ‘ ‘7! ;
“I-will-drittk,” be uao to say—having a
habit of pronouncing each word’ slowly and
separately, “whenever-I-please—damned-if
rl-doa’t. And-whats-is-inore—l'll driuk
goqd-liquor!”
About tlife time—perhaps the very night—
that Mtller had fixed for the final (femme
tion of the world by ire, it so happened that
a large old Wooden bouse, situated on the
bank of the river, took fire in the dead of the
night. A fire, of course, ws* a rare circum
stance, lit so Small a village. They had not
one for 20 years. The villager* were sud
denly awakened from their slumbers by the
cry, and tho reflection from tiie burning
bouse made the broad river look like a sheet
of burning flame. The impression that “judg
ment day” had come seised upon every mind
—-particularly those who saw the rifer and
diu not see the burning house. And sneli an
amount of shrieking, praying dtv., has never
been heard before since the world was nude.
Our convivial friend Mr, J——, had been
put to bed that night, particularly ‘‘mellow.’’
His good wife was oue of the first who was
awakned by the fiery glare of the flames up
on the water. Impressed with the convic
tion that it was‘‘judgment day,” she shriek
ed w ildly to her husbaud, and roused him
from his drunken stupor.
“Oh! Mr. J——said she, wringing her
hands with terror; “judgment! judgment!—
Oh 1 Mr. J—, judgment has come at last!
judgment! end you are not ready!’’
With such wild cries, often repeated, did
she seek to arouse her husband to a Sense of
his condition. Slowly turning himself over
and rnising his head, he looked out of the
window upon the apparently burning river.
“Judgment—did you-say I” replied he—
"jndgmtnf ! Well-if it is a-coming—let it
-come. I’m- ready. Jan#! (to a servant
girl who had entered the room) hand me-Tmy
breeehes-Hiid my-watch. I—camc info-tin
war Id-naked — i>ut I-am damned if I-gn out
naked /”
Calling also for It bottle of “old rye,’’ he
was delibeately making his preparations to
start fif the next world, when a messenger
entered and announced that if was only n
house on fire.
• After that bis wife, and friends made no
further effort to reform him—but gave him
up as a “ gone case.’’ He still lives at tliis
day—no doubt as determined as ever, not to
“*out nuked.” Esskx.
