At- the close of the war, being almost pros trated with chronic disease of the chest, with an invalid wife and a family to support, and not a dollar in anything available, noth ing in the shape of money except a few hun dred in “ Confederate,’’ I was at a loss to know how I would be able “to make both ends meet.” Various schemes of making a living presented themselves to my mind, but my health was too much impaired to un dertake any of them. Making a virtue of necessity, J concluded to stay on my farm, consisting of about 300 acres of third quali ty land ; about forty acres of which had been in cultivation, barely yielding its former occupant a support. I hired a black man regularly last year and paid him out of the crop; hired my corn gathered and husked; bought seed wheat at $2 50 per bushel; hired it sowed and harvested; have had considerably more land cleared up r ditched and fenced; a large garden newly and sub stantially enclosed, which is now tilled witn cabbage, beets, onions, peas, beans, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, okra and tomatoes. I h ive not been able to do a week’s work in eighteen months, except the lightest sort of jobs—consequently had to hire my farm work done, paying for it entirely out of tho proceeds of the farm ; I have kept the stock, most of which I had on hand, two horses, nine head of cattle, fifteen sheep, fourteen hogs, and eleven pigs. My “ out-hogs” have been well fed on corn twice a day and are'now good pork ; [ have pigs about sev en months old, that I have kept up about six months—have fed them twice a day on c >rn and butter-milk; they are now fine phrkers, and will, I think, make my next year’s meat, besides nine hogs, eighteen months old at killing time, that I expect to fatten for market. I have sold enough ba con to furnish my sugar and coffee. Besides what E have paid out for work,l have sold twen ty bushels of corn for cash, and have nowon hand thirty bushels of corn, and enough old bacon to supply my family until next summer. From thirty hens, I have sold about fifty dozen eggs since early in spring, and we have had as many as we wanted f«*r use; have sold enough poultry to buy my wife’s dresses, and have now one hundred nice spring and summer chickens; I have old sweet, potatoes as nice as when fresh dug, and the finest prospect for a crop of sweet and Irish potatoes I ever had ; a fine crop of sugar cane, (sorghum,) tobacco, etc, growing. I think 1 will have at least seventy-five bushels of wheat and rye, judging from the yield already threshed. This year I am hiving cultivated, by freedmen, thirty acres in corn, and above five acres iu oats, the latter nearly all cut and shocked, and yield ing about one hundred dozen. About one lialf of the corn is now laid by in fine condi tion, having been plowed and hoed five times each ; about one-half of the corn is drilled, with cow peas betweeu the hills of corn, which, I think, will nearly fatten my hogs I have enough leather on hand (home tanned) to supply my family a year or two; also the greater portion of my fall and spring wool not yet made up, and enough home made silk to supply my family for years; I do myself all the milking, and from the same cows that our servant girl formerly milked a gallon per day, I now milk from three to four gallons. Very respectfully, F. S. S. Madison Cos., Ga., July hth, 186(5. \ Saving Flower Seeds. —lt is not too late yet to save the seeds of many of our fine annuals. The best way, however, is to watch the ripening of the seeds generally— take with you little paper bags or boxes, carefully labelled with the name of the seeds which they are to contain, and then select from the choicest specimens one kind at a time, rejecting those not sufficiently matured as likely to mould and injure the rest. In the matter of preserving of both flow , er and vegetable seeds, there is much neg lect, and the absence of flowers about many homesteads is in a measure to be attributed to this neglect. The ladies ought in all cases to take charge of the flowers—it is naturally their province and should he their delight. It is a good method to exchange seeds with neigh bors and friends; for though the distance may be short, yet a slight change of soil frequently has much influence in preserving the fine qualities of the flowers. We think we can see, within the last few years, a great increase in flowers around our homesteads, and we rejoice at it, as we al ways think more kindly of the in-dwellers. Pity that this fascinating recreation—for fascinating it ought to be to every properly educated young woman —is not more univer sally apDreciated and indulged in. I Quince Marmalade. —Wash and wipe the quinces, and take out any dark spots there may be on the skins. Cut them up without paring, cores and all; cover them with water in the preserving kettle, and boil them until they are soft enough to be rubbed through a coarse hair sieve. Then weigh equal quantities of pulp and refined sugar and boil the mixture an hour, stirring it steadily. Made with nice brown sugar it is good, though not quite as handsome. When brown sugar is used it should be stirred an hour and a half. • Put it into moulds or deep plates, and when it is cold put a paper over it, pasted at the edges and brushed with the white of egg. Marmalade can be kept for almost any length of time. Baked Quince. —After coring without paring, boil until tender enough for a straw to penetrate them. Fill the core with su gar, put in a pan with some of the water in which they were boiled, and bake in the oven until they are light brown. Eat with cream, and you’ll be ready to declare that no other fruit is so delicious. How to Keep Out the Moths.— A good old lady gave the best recipe to her niece, whom she found one day examining her wardrobe. It had been copied from an old fashioned book, and was this : “ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.” The application of this ancient re ceipt is very simple; Look over the ward robe, and bring out all that can be spared— blankets and shawls, coats and cloaks—and send them to the poor in time; let the wid ows or the destitute have them before the moths have begun their inroads. “He that hath two coats let him impart to him that hath none.” This will do more to keep out moths than all the cedar closets or snuff and camphor, in the world; and will be likely, if done in a Christian, generous spir it, to secure the blessing of Him that iuak eth rich, and doubly sweeten what is left. Cure for Hog Cholera. —A friend in Quincy, 111., sends us the following recipe, which he obtained from a certain gentleman who has tried it, and says it is a certain cure for hog cholera: 6 oz. May apple root, pulverized; 6 oz. polk root, pulverized; C oz. saltpetre, pul verized ; 1 lb. sal soda, pulverized; 2 lbs. unslacked lime. Pour two gallons boiling water over the whole. Wheo cold, add eight ounces of tincture of assafootida. Dose —Two ounces of the mixture to one quart of swill for each hog.— tit. Louis Times. (Sbiluarn. Sister Elizabeth Camp, was born in Jackson co., Ga., June 27th, 1800; mar ried to Bro. B. S. Camp, and joined the church in 1820, and died Oct. 7th, 1866. On the night of the marriage she and her husband resolved to erect the family altar, to which she proved faithful until death.. On sth of October, she received a stroke of paralysis. She could talk but little and that but a short time. She soon went i«to a state of unconsciousness and remained so until she breathed her last. Though the family were not permitted to receive her dying charge, yet they were not as those who have no hope. I have been the pastor of sister C. for two years, and have often met her, both at her own home and the house of God. She was always glad to con verse about religion. I think I never saw her when she did not eujoy peace with God. She has gone to heaven to meet with a part of her family, w’hich are already there. She leaves her husband and fiv*e children to mourn their loss. May they all so live as to meet their dear mother in heaven. Pastor. ■ Rev. Eli Williams, died in Coosa co., Ala., July 4th, 1866. He was born in Kershaw Dist., S. C., May Ist, 1797, professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, at eighteen years of age, was licensed to preach at 33 years of age. He was a man of deep piety and adorned the profession he made “ by a well ordered walk and godly conversation.” He was useful as a preacher in the local ranks, (was never itinerant). He was a good citi zen, a devoted husband and an affectionate father. Father Williams was a pillar in the Church of God, where he lived. He was much troubled in his last days about the condition of the church, and often sighed for “ the old days of Methodism.” He was greatly afflicted for many years before his death. He was confined to his room for five weeks before his death and suffered im» mensely, (his disease being gravel). But in all his afflictions he was never heard to com plain at his suffering, but his prayer was that grace might sustain him in the affliction. A short time before his death, he called his family around him and admonished them to meet him in Heaven. He has left a devot ed family and many friends to mourn his loss ; but their loss is his infinite gain. Let me die* the death of the righteous. E. A. West. Mary Elizabeth Williams, daughter of Morris and Susan Cousins, died July Bth, 1866, in the seventeenth year of her age. She was married to E. F. Williams Decem ber 28th, 1865. She professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, in 1864. She was a dutiful daughter and an affec-> tionate wife. She was a woman of a wafm heart and a sweet spirit, and much beloved by her husband and family, and a large cir cle of friends. She was sustained by grace in her last affliction, though it was of long continuance. In her last hours she spoke of departed loved ones as being, around her and inviting her away to the home of the blessed. She was often heard to repeat the words, “ Sweet is the day of sacred rest; no mortal care shall seize my breast.” In her last moments, she could say, “ Jesus ihe vision of thy face, Hath overpowering charms, Scarce shall I feel death’s cold embrace. If Christ be in my arms.” E. A. West. SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE Sister Martha J. Sharpe died at the residence of her son, Robt. D. Sharpe, Esq., near Sylvania, Ga., Sept. 2nd, 1866, aged sixty-five years. Sister S. had been a consistent] member of the M. E. Church about 30 years; 15 years of which she resided in Savannah. She was the subject of sore affliction during the last six or eight years, and was mostly con fined to her room during the last year of her life. Never has the writer witnessed a brighter example of patience and Christian fortitude than was displayed in her case. Though her disease was of such a character, for months before her death, as to deprive her almost entirely of her relish for food, yet she had food which the world knows not of, and her last words were “Jesus is the only source of true happiness.” During her last illness, she was often visited by the ministers of our church, myself among oth ers, and we found her ever ready to testify to the love of Jesu.s. Thus, full of faith and patient resignation to the will of God, she passed away leaving a large circle of relatives and friends to mouru, hut not as those who have no hope. J. M. Stokes. Hezekiaii W. Ftrobhart, about 43 years of age, died at Binnaker’s Camp Ground, Barnwell Dist, S. C., June 13th, 1865. He had been a member of the M. E Church about 16 years, lie lived for sev eral years on the Blackswamp ct., S- C. Conference, and filled the various offices of class leader, steward, and Sabbath school superintendent, with credit to himself and the church. He enjoyed the power and practiced the virtues of our holy reli gion to an eminent degree. He suffered in tensely, but bore it only as a Christian can endure, while ripening up for his reward in glory, retaining his consciousness and faith to the last. He has left a widow, two children, an aged and sainted sister, with numerous relatives and friends to mourn his death He was a good man, husband, father and neighbor. We mourn our loss, kiss the rod, and wait and hope to meet again where the wicked cease to trouble and the weary are at rest. • J. Robt. Coburn. Mrs. Frances M. Steagall, wife of Benson Steagall, and daughter of C. F. and •Mary A. Maddux, died in Rusk co, Texas, Sept. 15, 1866, in the 34th or 35th year of her age. She was horn in Warren co., Ga , and joined the M. E. Church about her 15th year—was a firm member and a consistent Christian. In her was the assemblage of the graces of the Christian religion. She was a devoted daughter, wife and mother; she had many friends to minister to her in her last sickness; but they could not save her. Death in her had a shining mark at which to thrust his fatal dart. Her disease was congestion of the brain, so that for sev eral of her last days she lay in a stupor, and could give no expression of her prospects, it was a matter of grief to her affectionate father that she could not talk to him. Du ring a former attack of illness when her re covery was despaired of, she, with great composure, gave directions about her house hold affairs, children, etc., and said she was ready. Her father says they sorrow not as those who have no hope and feel that she has gone to heaven. P. N. Maddux. Tribute of Respect, Ry Ebenezer Lodye 210, Coicihee , Ala.
