The experience of planters who have been most successful in raising Oats is that September is the proper time for sowing. Hear what the. Southern Cultivator says; "Fall oats were badly winter-killed this year? .Spring oats have been unusually line. It will be unwise to conclude from this that Fall oats won't do. Our own experience and the best information we can get from all quarters is, that Fall Oats are the most certain crop of the two, and especially is this true, if they are planted 011 rich land, or if well fertilized."

The following beautiful lines were in- , dited by Mr. James It. liandall upon ' the death of General T. J. Jackson. The circumstances which occasioned the poem were these: Gen. Jackson's ( troops, after a long and weary march, were so much fatigued that when a halt was ordered almost nearly every man j was asleep. The noble old Hero guard- < ed the camp alone that night: 'Twas in the dying of the day, The darknessgrew so still, The drowsy pipe of evening birds '> Was hushed upon the hill. < * n j.

For once in the world things happened as they were expected to. A carriage rolled into the yard?a lady stepped to the ground. "Well, papa's deceased paafcritr's daughter, Miss Iiue, was a legality. With her mass of golden hair, vherj rosc-and-lily face, her goracQus! figure, she was affluently lovely.'- ij was quite awed by her appearance,! but she seemed a source of inspira-j tion to the gentlemen.

' .17 -X 1 herself at the piano. But one, two, three weeks passed md I didn't feel the least bit acquainted with her. She appeared to be ten years ^lder than X, in mind and manner, though she was not more than half that my senior; and I knew sometimes that she was actually talking (own to me kindly. She didn't do that with the others for papa was fond of an argument, iiwl tlipv used to talk over my head for hours together. Nemour never entered upon discussions, but lie eeraed to get acquainted with her .lircctly, and they soon established m actual intimacy. One day it struck me into a great j a blank to think that he cared more for her than for me. .Very soon after this T had chills md fever, and was confined to my room three week. Papa was anxious about me, because I never had been very strong. lie could not spare his little "Slippers," as he called ine (for the steps I had taken for him since I had been his housekeeper,) and watched over me day and night. There was one other ivho should have showed solicitude, yet, alas! Nemours voice went under mv windows, and I knew 4/ ^ r who else was in the boat as I listened to the splash of the oars? but he never came to kiss me in those dreary weeks. Miss liue came in sometimes and isked leave to do something for me; was,indeed, faultlessly kind; mt her presence fevered and 'distressed me. She was to stay all "Winter, ber jau'se papa was attending to some jusiness for her, and it was better ttf have her by. IIow I shuttered is I looked forward to that Winter, and anticipated the blow which I Ull/ Ili USb UUIIJV. I came down at last on papa's irrii. And there was Ncmour and Miss Kue sitting cozily in the jrcakfast room, and talking about ;lic Elgin Marbles. I turned giddy md white as a ghost. They all locked round me, and Xcmour from pity and remorso, I felt,) hissed my hair and wasted bits of jands. I was dumb and unresponsive. IIow could they all seem so jlad, I wondered, and such a wrong .joing on ! At breakfast it came out that japa wanted to go North to attend :o lands he owned thcie, and that \fis3 Hue was to go with him, to /isit her friends in that locality; :hat both wore to return in a fortnight. Oh, if she would go and never :ome back ! I thought. JVly heart iched miserably. It was of no use for Xeraour to seem so glad to see :ne again-; I knew it all for a miserable sham. I could not- expect iim to love me when she was by? ;>oor plain child that I was?and *et, and yet he was so precious to nc that a very colossal passion acked me when I tried to give him o her. Oh, I knew that I loved iim?loved him?so purely, so truy! and he was ray all. -She must iav$.others?dozens of suitors for her lily hand. But she went away, and if I had \ot known?oh! if I had noi 'cnown?I should have thought that ic loved her?that lie loved me. I could not speak her name. I lever mentioned it to him.

They had come. I stoom up to Tieet them?to gaze bitterly upon Miss Rue's beauty. She came in upon papa's arm. [Ic looked so proud, so glad, she iad so sweet an aspect!

"They pulled the wool Dver my eyes completely." .No disappointed man could speak like that. I began to feel a little foolish. Ij weiiL uwuy aiiu got papa m a corner after a while. "Why didn't you tell your Slippers?" I began, reproachfully. "My dear, I was afraid you didn't.like her. I have been miserable about you ever since she has been here. You have had some thing on your mind, Nelly; the doctor tells me so." "Papa?oh, papa! I have been 30 foolish. I thought Kemour was in love with her!" "Why he wasn't I don't know, excepting that when you are as : miserable as you can be about ; tilings, they never turn out as badly i as they might." "'! Letter from Newport, Rhode Island. The following letter, which we clip from the Southern Christian Ad- , vacate, with it3 crisp and sparkling ; comments upon current topics, and-1 its pleasant mention ot some well known Abbeville people, will not be uninteresting to our readers : Bear Brother Kennedy : The bath of this fifth Fall dnv invigorates me, and I write. This has been a delightful holiday to me. Off the coast of Maine, at Biddleford Pool for two weeks, with kind friends, I felt the pulse of the great sea, aud caught the spirit of the j grand scene. Then down to Bos- ( ton, and a run up to Concord, Mass., , and about three hours with Ralph Waldo Emerson, who is grander than the sea, "by just so much as i inind and soul are superior to [ju j' external to them. I was not at all : disappointed in him, and the refreshment of that afternoon abides. He inquired most particularly about Mr. Barnwell, of South Carolina? : his old college and class-mate: spoke in the most enthusiastic terms of liim ; and also spoke of other Carolinians with the greatest . deference. I came down to Hartford, hoping < to see Dr. Bushnell, but he was summering it off in Vermont. On j Sunday morning I got into a class room with some devoted Methodist people and sat with them most heavenly, in Christ Jesus. Ileafd Dr. Ivatel preach at 11 A.

A run clown to Philadelphia for the feeble "wife who had been resting oft the weariness of the trip, : (from Columbus, Miss., via St. Louis, Springfield, Toledo, Niagara, Detroit, Montreal,) with beloved relatives, and we came to Newport i in time to witness the marriage of; .Miss Fannie Sims, daughter of Dr. J J. Marion Sims, and >fr. Chas. Ed. ; Gregory, both of New York. The wedding occasion was in keeping with the style of the place and the position of the parties. The bride- 1 groom is reported very wealthy? j ' ^?-> Kfl-i Arnnna Olid JILiSil rUSlUCIJUi; Uli l/lix v* v/j wiiu the richest presents of the bride, ( from Pari.'?, and from other distant j places, gave token of the high con- i sideration in which the pure, modest and noble-hearted girl was held. < Ilcaven smiled ou the occasion, for 1 the day was one of the brightest, ' sweetest, softest. I sat in the 1 church just behind the French ] minister, the Marquis do Xoialles, ] and the Marchioness. The latter , was a Polish Countess before her , marriage. They were about the simplest and most unpretentious in their bearing of any people I have seen. They were both at the reception. On last Sunday morning I was < invited by Dr. Sims to witness the 1 most difficult aud remarkable oper- 1 ation he lias ever performed. There < were about ten doctors present, the ' Drs. Francis (sons of the great 1 Doctor of Xew York, now deceased) 1 and Dr. Peasler among them. Dr. ' Harry Sims, son of Dr. Sims, also j aided. The operation was to remove J an ovarian tumor from the leftside, ] the patient, a lady forty years old. The adhesion was entire, and the * complications were such as to de- < maud the utmost tact and skill, and h yet the bold surgeon went through!* it all without a falter, and accom-jl plished the work in less than forty js minutes, removing a tumor weigh-1< ing ninety pounds, and leaving the N patient quite comfortable. It is j > now the sixth dav, and she bids | f fair to recover. The sensation j among the physicians of the place;! was most profound. It was an event 11 in my life, and having to preach}| within an hour after, I felt like get-1 i ting down and crawling like a worm j < to the pulpit.

If a gentleman calls upon you, 1 do not hesitate once in a while to ( ask him iuto tho taraily room, or give ' >-our parents to understand that you I want them to come into the parlor to i ico your company. Tho young gen- | ( .icni'in who (loos not. wish ho nr>no. i sionally in the company of your pa- | rents is not worthy of your society. , 3. If a friend, of either sex, calls upon you when it is your duty to be at family worship or at pravcr-meet- 1 ing, let it be ko known. A true gen- j tleman or a true gentlewoman will not be offended. i 4. Bo a true lady at home, cspoci- I ally at the table, else you will forget ; to act the lady abroad, Sit straight; oat deliberately. Don't bow your ( head too low to eat and drink. Don't j go to work picking your teeth or ( paring your nails alter the meal id i the presence of others. Some gentlemen spend-two hours a day pickiug : their teeth. Don't rock or put your 1 feet on another's chair, or look at a ' person's manuscript while he is writ- 1 ing, or take a book from him, or ask i him what he has in a package. Every ] exhibition of idle curiosity is annoy- f ing to a refined person. < 5. Do not address a person without { speaking out the namo. Some per- j sons will tako hold of your arm, or , look at you. This is impolite. Speak! out the name?Mrs, , or Mr. or Miss , or the given uame. G. Don't speak in a loud touc unless : your friends are deal. Do not whis- 1 per in company unless it becomes ( necessary to nay something of impor- 1 tance to your mother. If an old gen- i uomun oners you ins easy enau, uu 5 not take it.; and- be sure not ta let 1 your motor do anything for tho com- , fort of your visitors if you can do it yourself. 7. You will of courso never look behind yon.to notice a person who lias passed, nor staro at any one on ( the streets, or in the stores. If you . bavo fine clothes do not bo ambitious 1 to display them on the streets or in < the church. The drawing-room offers j Dpportunitics sufficient for tbe wearing of extra jewelry and an expensive apparel. f 8. Fix on an hour for retirement, und do not deviate frcm it except ? jnder an extraordinary pressure of , circumstances. You need not hesi- , tate to tell your friends that you J must be home at ten o'clock.

( Other things being equal, the f courteous and affable always have ( the preference over the blunt and r rude. Whether it is the selection v rf the store at which we deal, the , employer whom we will serve, the j workmen we will - engage, or the j road we will travel, this element j will largely influence our choice. , [n the instructions which a general .. manager of a leading railway lias \ - i i 1 T.^ tiSUea tu Jiis suuuruiuuu's, iiu a. Treat people as if you appreciated uid were willing to acknowledge * ;lieir custom. Try to accommo- c late and pleuse. In short, act as c my good business man would to [ lis customers. Don't treat people c is if you were conferring a favor m them by letting them ride.

Such orders [ ully recognize the policy of pleas- 1 ng manners and their necessity to insure success. To be really wor:hy and enduring, politeness must 1 )e based on kindly feeling. An t jld proverb says, 'If the staff be * .'rooked, the shadow can not be s straight.' So if our hearts are i ;old and hard, they will not cast 1 :he shadow of kindly deeds aud gentle manners.
