IF- J m < - - luuuume chevron was tlic funniest little French woman that ev cr danced a polka, ller figure was so diminutive and her features so wizened, and her whole appearance so comical, that yon felt an involuntary impulse to take her between your thumb and fore-finger, and blow her into the air, liko a dandelion. She would have mado an admirable model for a witch uikju a broomstick. Yet nevertheless and notwithstanding, Madame Chevron was a power in the land. She had a mind and a will, and an energy of the Napoleonic order. Within the high and imposing stone walls of her Young Ladies* School, were gathered three hundred pupils, the children of the best and noblest in the land, ller corps of teachers were famed for their accomplishments and learning. u The whole art of government consists in knowing }>ow to choose your agents,''said the great Napoleon ; and Madatno Chevron believed that the whole art of education consisted in knowing how to choose her teachers, ller income was very large, but 6iio spent it all in paying her teachers, for she loved not money, but success.? But it wo6 not this alone which gave her school its great popularity. Mothers usually choose the school for their children, and it was whispered amongst these anx ious and watchful mothers, that Madame Chevron understood the arts of beautifying beyond all living women. She must have had some magic and potent spells ; for auo mane plain girls pretty?protty ones beautiful?and beautiful ones more superlatively beautiful. Awkward girls became gi aceful? grave girls becarao gay, and sourtempered girls became as sweet as a May morning, under her enchantments. Therefore wo young law students, who were domiciled not three miles from the Chevron school, thought we had good rea sous lor pronouncing Madame a sorceress. For wo did not like her?not a bit did we?for the simple reoson that she did not like us. No admission did we over get within tho Paradisical walls which held tho three hundred beauties ; and thereloro in revenge we hung around the grounds, throw notes over the enclosure, inerelv, as we said, to spite tho " old uragon ;M but really because I was in love with Annie M., (VUton with Fanny D., and Carroll with Kate JB. For, truth to tell, no one could stay long in the vicinity of the Chevron school without losing his heart. -1j> Augusto Chevron was the brother of Madame, and very different from licr in pergonal appearance, tie far as site and good looks went, but he had the same peculiar grey eye, and the same smile. He was the organist at the church, nnd a general favorite with all.? One 8nndav morning, he and I wore seated on the steps of the church, waiting for the old bells to chime the hour for service, when J asked him? " Auguete, how in tlio world <)oes your sister manage to make all her pupils so pretty I" 44 Oh," said he, 44 my sister is an artiste?she understands de arts of drees." 44 But," I said,44 they all wear a uniform?surely one style of dress does not become evory style of beauty." 44 Ab," be replied,.441 cannot make yon understand?it is a uni form, and yet it ia not a uniform? yon see de color of de dress is one tint which suit everybody, and den de trimmings are de color Which Suit dft MfliwiUf . -n?r? .??* ? *?VM 9 and den n?y sister giv? so much attention (o de complexion and de heir.

First, the Freshman class, and let me attempt to describe their dress?the dress which Augnste designated as " a uniform and yet not a uniform." The color worn by the whole school was a soft fawn tint. The Freshman class wore as trimmings an edge of embroidered violets; around the skirt, around the neck and around the wrists. The violets were white, bine, purple, and particolored. Their Lair was worn long and flowing, confined just- behind the ears with a bandeau of bine velvet. Their hate were of white straw and ornamented with a sinfie cluster of violets. rlhose with lue eyes and very fair, fresh comElexions wore white violets?the loiides with hazel eyes wore bluo or pnrplo violets; tho brunettes with black eyes wore the gorgeously colored heart's ease?the particolored violet. Then came the Sophomore class, or, as they were called in tho school, tho lilies. Their dress was precisely liko that of tho Freshman class, except that their embroidered edges wero of lilies, and their lints were also ornamented with lilies. The pnro white lily, tho rich yellow lily, the brilliantly spotted tifirer-lilv. and th? lntrfmia lotus of ligypt, wore all represented ; each young lndy wearing that which suited best her complexion, oycs and hair. Then catne the Jcnior class, and in this was my inamorata, Annie M. They were the rose class?ev cry shado of rose from tho rich white of the Dcvoniensis to a vel vcty crimson, almost black. Annie had a lovely complexion and largo hazel eyes, and sue wore tho Souvenir do Malmai6on ; (I was not learned in roses, but Annie had told me this during the Christmas holidays, when she and 1 were both temporarily released from the surveillai.ee of 44 the old dragon.,?) The Senior class had tho great privilege of changing their flowers with tho season?snow-drops, ?fce., with tho earliest spring; roecs, &c., for early summer ; dahlias, ?...1 ?.. -^1.

The Jndgo looked lovingly at ids palo and delicate Alice, and said, ' Yon are right, nay dear Madame ; and pray ten ine what other regulations you get from the Bible.1" " The manner in which their dress is ornamented, I get from the Bible : 4 Thou shalt make fringe* (in Hebrew, ornaments resemHtng flowers,) upon the fonr quarters of the vesture, that ye may look upon them, and remember all the commandments of the Lord to do them? Could you imagine a more beautiful law ??wearing ornaments resorcbling (or imitating) flowers, in order to remind tbe wenrer constantly of bis or bor duty to God 1 What an effect It has in ennobling and dignifying even s\ui> nprmnnli anst in rnn.Oflu * n r* the demoralizing vanities and conceits of fashion.

My yonng ladies are also required to wear their hair as the apostle directs, viz; as a veil; ana this custom is peculiarly conducive to health, for it protects the delicate ears and neck, just as nature ordains, and it is chiefiv through these organs that sore throats and bad colas originate." 44 Well, Madame,n said my uncle, laughing,441 confess yon surprise me extremely.

Judge Lottgetreet was born in the city of Augusta, in September, ( 1790. lie received his academic training at the celebrated school of the Rev. Moses Waddell, at Willington, S. O. Thence he became a member of Tale College, where he graduated in 1S13.? Next he studied law. After his admission to tho bar, he married Mies Parks, and settled at Greene* borough, in Georgia.

Hut amid the lieat thereof, one ot his children died, and this event so affected him, that ho withdrew from tho contest, and began to sock the Christian ministry. In 1838, ho beoaino a Methodist min| ister, and officiated at Augusta, Georgia. In 1889, Judge Longstreet was clocted President ot Emory College.

He was in politics n State rights I mnn. lie was n busy writer in the department of religion and politics. Judge Longstrcet's humor was born, and 6eems to have died in tho "Georgia Scenes," as his other humorous work, "Master William Mitten," is more or less a failure, and stood relatively to the " Georgia Scenes" as does " Paradise Regained " to " Faradiso Lost." * Jtidgo Longstreet was, in his day and generation, a man of mark. | *? e snail, nowevcr, leave to others, better acquainted than wo with his life and genius, to nttcmpt an | analysis of liits career and character.

[Coluinlia I'lcrnix. Turnip*. Tho most 6ucces6iul grower of turnips we have known, made it a rulo to sow the seed in the last three or four days of Juh'. This allows time enough to raiso roots of the largest size, 6uitablo either for stock or tho market. A few days sometimes make a marvelous difference in tho product. For table use, where quality is more desirablo than size, tanners usually sow from the 10th to the 20th of August. Indeed we have heard some persons say that the first of Kpnln.nilini' U tint laU> ? ? -W ?av? ?x/V iwfcV J UUH ? C havo never succeeded in raising anything larger than an egg when sowed at that time.

If the season is favorable, fair sized roots may be raised on rich ground seeded in Julj; but as they require a long time to como to maturity, the earlier the hotter. The best success wo have ever had was from seed planted in tho middle of June.? The only objection is, that the tops aro liable to be infested by lice in tho fall; but in these days of scien tific insect exterminators, they arc not to be feared.

There are a great many ways of earning an honest penny, which have never entered into the heads of our people, for the simple reason that we hare always lived nnder the delusion thai there was no money in anything but cotton.
