ExtensttfiT of the Qreiifiht and

A bill lias been introduced into
the legislature, praying for the
privilege of extending, the road
to Aeheville, the most direct and
I feasible route?either from Green
I ville or Spartanburg, as may be
I deemed most desirable. This bill
asks for assistauce from the State
I to the extent of $10,000 per mile,
I so that the old road can be ?n?
[ complete order?new irron, etc. I
As it is a measure which will,
doubtless, redound to the bene
of the State At large, the bill
should meet with but little opposition.
A Western connection,
via Abbeville, is desirable, and the
sooner it is made .the better.?
With due deference the old Bine

put through, while the other is
being talked over. By the wa}*,
the Greenville Railroad Company
have already contracted lor over
4,000 tons of new iron, and arrangements
ore being completed.'
by which a portion of the old r<?ad
bed will be changed, and new
and more desirable locations selected.
The road, since it has
been'in the hands of the present
Company, has promptly paid all
its obligations?for labor, material,
etc?and has, we are reliably
informed, paid otf many old obligations,
besides paying the interest
on all the bonded debt of the
company, including the few sec
una mortgage bonds ont?which,
*V&ii.f lit ilfe present
condition, was a bio to do lima
much, any business man will
leudily admit, that with the proposed
improvements?the placing
of the road in first-rate order?the
company will be fully able to

outlay. The Greenville Railroad,
placed in an improved endi ion,
will be of incalculable value, not

Fai:mkk8, Keep Accounts.?
Farmers who never keep accounts,
and of course are nearly always
in debt yearly, have enormous
store bills to surprise them.
They doubt the honesty of merchants,
and families are berated for
extravagance.
Receipts and expenditures arc
never uo'ed ; the profits and losses
in any branch of farming are uu
known. Unconsciously debts mul
liply, lor it requires much less
time and ability to disposo of
money than to acquire it. AOcounts
properly kept, would ad
inontsli them when to spend and to
clieok up. Carelessness in one
particular is apt to foster and beget
carelessness in otIters; consequently
such fanners have little
system in the building of residences,
barns, or outhouses.?
Fences are jxairly kept tip, and a
systematic rotation of corps is seldom
practiced.?N. Y. Farmer.
Thk Law or Fijbatiov.?The

And if the opinions of certain

caution. Chief Justice
Parker, of Masachnsetts, announces

During the lost session of the

presented claims for interest due

Butter. -Every one has seen
bntter, anil most perrons are fond
of it; but it is doubtful whether
many persons know bow butter is
made. If you ask your mother,
she perhaps would tell you that it
is made by churning milk. If your
curiosity w'j .'nilk is churned, ?nb
might not be able to tell yon.
Bntter is made from milt
which everybody* knows is white.
The reason milk is white is because
it is composed mainly of j
water and oil. These are mixed
together and form whijt is called
un etnulsi n. if you will put
some water and oil in a vial and
ehake it, the water and oil will
look white, just like inilk. Milk
is nearly all water. The oil that
it contains is covered no in littlj
sacks of a substance called casein.
These being lighter than water,
rise to the top, and are called
cream. Churning breaks these
sacks and permits the oil or butter
us it is called to float on the top
of the milk. Shuking milk turns
it sour, because the sugar which
is in it unites with the oxygen of
the air and turns it to luetic acid.
Bk a Man.?Foolish spending,
is the father of poverty. Do not
be ashamed of work, and of hard
work. Work for the best salaries
or wages you can get, but work
for half prico rather than be idle.
Bo your own master, and do not
let society or fashion swallow up
your individuality?bat coat and
boots. Do not eat up or wear out
all that you earn. Compel your
selfish body to snare something for
profits saved. lie stingy to your
own appetite, but merciful to ot.rers
necessities. Help others, and
ask no Indn for vniir?u?1f R?n il??t
you hi'g proud. Let your pride
be ot' tlic right kind.
Be too proud to bo lazy ; loo
proud to give up without conquering
every difficulty ; too proud to
to wear a coat that you cannot
afford to buy; to be in company
that yon cannot keep up with in
expenses ; too proud to lie. or steal,
or cheat, too proud to bo parsimonious.
