2ly Dear * * * * * *?Your letter
describes " the weather in Philadelphia,
bright and warm. Some
persons attribute our unseasonable
warm weather to the approach of
the Gulf Stream. What do you
say lrt ~
1 had given up all hope of being
able to gtve you the least idea of
what could possibly have been the
cause of a change in the regular
and long established course of the
current ot the ocean ; but it happened
that an extra amount of tea
got tpto my cup?i couio not sleep,
thinking over your question. At
first, 1 thought of calling to my assistance
a mermaid, but as she belongs
to the sea I bad doubt; secondly,to
ask the assistance of a fairy,
but aa she dances in the meadow
there was anothor doubt; I then
thought of a myrter?one who had
passed through the fire and yet
not consumed, who had been cast
among wild animals and whose
feet had been licked by the fierce
the lion. Who should it be) A
maul Nol A woman? Yes 1
Why? Becanso when a woman
describes her travels she makes her
worlc deeply interesting by entering
into particulars, which a man
may neglect tor some objects of his
partioular policy ; a worn <n stands
on the broad platform of leaving
others to iudge for. themselves.
Thecla has been described as being
blessed with great beauty,
faultless fi are, virtue and Christian
character ; therefore I decided
to ask her help. She accepts the
mission. She will answer your
question on the supposition that the
Gulf Stream has shifted. If there

ofiposite the strait of Gibraltar,
she was suddenly and very unexpectedly
driven by the current
to the westward?her back had
been turned on Spain, and she was
moving comparitively slow. She
was disappointed at this, for the
usnal course of the Gulf Stream

the first Christian that ba6 been'
forced from the true path. She,
however, came back, for with a
circuit, or bend in her courso she

towards the coast of Africa ; then
went on due South, as though nothing
had happened, except that the
speed, by this deflection of the current,
had dreadfnllv impeded the
onward progress of her chariot.

They walked away from the valley
of Cuzco to the shore of Lake Tit icaca;
there, as the sun rose over
the snow-capped Andes, they knelt
near the shore of the Lake, and worshipped
the sun. They then turned
west, and after travelling over
the mountains, as tho moon shone
her light through a gorge in the
Cordilleras, they prayed again and
worshipped the moon. They came
down to the coast of South America

Thocla repeated aloud the third
verse of the seventh chapter of
Deuteronomy.
The man took the Red Sea for
his seat, and the woman took a
seat in the Mediterranean. The
Isthmus of Suez they used for a
tea-table, 'Ihe woman took sugar
from the 6ugar-dish and put soiue

worst of humanity which bring dis- treBs

the honest old Indian. * t
As the light appeared over the j
desert of Sahara, Thecla was awak *
encd by music *, the sound fell hp
on her ear mingled with the splashing
of oars in t ho calm sea. As
the sound neared, she heard these
words of the song:
" Row brothers row, the stream runs Cast?
Tbe rapids are near, and the day-light's past."
She gnzed upon the approaching
boat, rowoo by a single man
lie suddenly ceased, and lay on
his oars, struck with wonder and
respectful awe at her beauty and
her craft. He politely raised his
hat and bid her " good morning "
in the Fortugues tongue. Thecla
ennuired what ha was doinir in :
such a small boat. He replied, j
looking significantly at lier chariot, ;
411 ana a poor fisherman on my ,
way beyond the cnrrent." 44 Then |
you do not fish in the Gnlf Stream?1' ;
44 Yes, but there are more fish in ]
the cold water than in the warm." |

44 Do fish from cold water sell bet- ter
in market than fish from warm
water ?" 44 No, there is no differ- '
ence as to that, bnt shouldn't X go ,
where I can catch the most fish!1'
44 IIow is it you have always been
fishing, and always poor ?" 44 Well,
yon see there never was such a

' "Has what the priest tola jon

1 mind I do not complain?he pays
as I now catch many more fish than
I used to do, I must pay more into

' lately, both in the GnlfStream and

Plant Corn.
The advice and criticiam conained
in the annexed, although
ntended for the planters in Geor
jia, may be as appropriately adtressed
to agricnltaralists iit South
Darolina:
A word to farmers before the
5rops are so pitched as to crowd
out corn. Not one man in ten makes
mough corn, and not one in bunded
has a sufficiency of small grain,
ind very few raiso enough grass.
Jutil small grain and the grasses
iro more liberally cultivated, the
lecessities oi the country demand
i great ideal more corn. It is a
Mistaken idea that cotton planting,
:o the exclusion of grain crops, is
he most profitable system of farmng.
The men in this country who
oave made most money by farm
ing, are tlioee who have raised
corn and bacon. They not only
Tarnish cotton planters with those
indispensable articles, butlrcqnently
hold mortgages on their lands
for money loaned them.
One fact of this sort is worth a
peck of theories. If you would i
prosper, plant corn, sow small
grain, ana cultivate the grasses.
After these things are done, do
rote the remainder ol your time
and labor to the prodoctiqn of cotton,
and whatever it brings can be
invoeted in railroad or other stocks,
or loan on good securities at high
rates.
What does it profit a man to
make a thousand bales of cotton,
if it takes all the surplus after paying
for labor and fertilizers, to
purchase corn, bacon and other
supplies, which ought to have been
made at home t
?? Difference
in the Quai.ity of
Eoos.?;The tfoumaL of Agriculture
says, though most farmers
keep fowls and raiso their own
eggs, there are many who have
not learned the difference there is
in the richness and flavor ot eggs
produced by well fed liens, and
those from birds.that have been
half starved though our winters.
Tliere will be some difference in
the size, but far more in the quality.

stance, and the albumen, or white,
clear and pure ; while the contents
of the other will be watery and
meagre, as in the parent fowl, to
properly carry out and complete
the work nature had sketched.?
In order, therefore, to have good
eggs, the fowls should be well fed,
and also provided, during the
months they arc unable to come to
ground, with a box containing an
abundance of fine gravel, that
they may be able to*grind and
prepare their food for digestion. Of
eggs, those from the domestic hen
are decidedly the best, but those of
ducks and ge^rae may he used for
some of the purposes of domestic
cookery.

A Word to the Man of the House
The first duty of husbands is to
sympathise with their wives in all
tlieir cares and labors. Men are
apt to forget, in tho perplexities
and amiovunces ot business, that
home cares are also annoying and
try the patience and the strength
of their wives.
They come home expecting sympathy,
attention, but are too apt to
have uoue to give. A single kind
word of look that tclla his thought
of her and her troubles would lift
half the weight of care from her
heart. Secondly, husbands should
make confidants of their wives,
consulting them on their plans and
prospects, and especially on their
troubles and oinbarrassments. A
woman's intuition is often better
than all his wisdom and shrewdness
and her ready sympathy and
interest is a powerful aid tor his
efforts, for their mutual welfare.
Thirdly, men should show their
love for their wives, in constant
attention, in their manner of treat
ing them, and in the thousand and
one triflingoffices of affection which
may bo hardly noticeable, but
which makes all the difference between
a sad and undefined longing
and cheery, happy existence.?
Above all, men should beware of
treating tlieir wives with rudeness
uiiu incivility, ns u nicy wuro me
; only persons not entitled to their
consideration and respect. They
should think of the sensitive feelings
and their need of sympathy

however, sometimes turns people's
heads 60 that they forget this.
The late Col. Colt was himself a
practical mechanic. l*y his will
lie left to his nephew an immense
fortune. At the time of Mr. Colt's
death, tho nephew was learning
his trade in his uncle's shop, working
diligently in his overalls by
day, subject to the same rules as
other apprentices.
On his uncle's death he became
a millionaire; but, choosing a
guardian to manage his property,
he continued his labor and served
his apprenticeship. Now, as he
walks the rooms of his fine house,
or drives handsome and costly
teams, he has the consciousness
that, if his riches take to themselves
wings and fly away, he is
furnished with the means of getting
an honest livelihood, and muy
make a fortune for himself.

its accompanying dirt are not dishonorable
