who have been most successful in
raising Oats is that September is the

.Spring oats have been unusually line.
It will be unwise to conclude from this
that Fall oats won't do. Our own experience

are the most certain crop of the two,

THE LONE SENTRY.
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. <

Slumbered the men of might,
As one lone sentry paced his round '
To guard the camp that night. I
A grave and solemn man was ho,
With deep and sombre brow. '
The dreadful eyes seemed hoarding up, <
Some unaccomplished vow.
His wistful glance peered o'er the plain, ,
Beneath ?he starry light,
As with the murmured name of God i
He watched the camp that night. j
The future opened unto him
Its grand and awful scroll; f
Manassas and the Valley march, <
Come heaving o'er his soul.
llichmond and Sharpsburg thundered

With that tremendous fight

We mourn for him who died for us
With one resistless moan, ,
While up the Valley of the Lord,
He marches to the throne.
He kept the faith of men and saints, 1
Sublime, and pure, and bright; <
He sleeps, and all is well with hi in
Who watched the camp that night.
Brothers, the midnight of the causo ]

The demon Goths pollute our sotl

For once in the world things happened

was quite awed by her appearance,!

Queen Victoria's cooking, and papa
related my culinary struggles before 1
the family had consented to the i
advent of a negro cook and resigned
themselves to hoecake and ba- ]
con and cabbage as staple articles
of food- Though it wasn't as bad <
as that, for I could, and did, make 1
oream "biscuits beautifully, and prepared
deviled crab to perfection,
papa cofirmed. 1
After breakfast we went out to
look at the Spanish bayonets, 1
which had blossomed, and then:
Cato brought the buggy around
and the gentlemen went in town.
jtfow, I was a little thing, and
hadn't the least bit of confidence
3r dignity, and it was a great relief
to fiud that Miss Rue didn't expect
it of mo, but directly called me
"Nolly."and nrenared to entertain
? ' .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?

But she went away, and if I had
\ot known?oh! if I had noi
'cnown?I should have thought that

I could not speak her name. I
lever mentioned it to him.
That fortnight, it went by like

"Why,'Nelly !?why, my dear!
^ttleNelly!" he stammered, anni-i

And then a carriage drove into

They had come. I stoom up to

and smiling as no man with a
sorrowful heart could do. When
we were alone, I whispered:
"Dear, did you know ?"
"Not a bit of it," he answered,
brightly. "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." "'!

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. M., and
preached for him at night, lie
came down with me to Kew York
next day, and made me feel quite ,
comfortable in speaking of the night
before. The Doctor is over fifty?

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

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. To what is poor 1
humanity liable ?, As I looked about I'
amid the splendor of the wedding!'
occasion, two days after, how ten- <
derly did I foci toward the frail *
humanitv that was underneath it <
all! 1'f never think or speak hard j I
of a woman a train. To see the en- j i
thusiasm of the patients of Dr. h
^ims, when they speak of him, is as)<
refreshing a3 was the sun of thi.sJ i
morning.
I have had the delight?tliat is
the word?of meeting here Mrs.
Gen. McGowan aud her daughter, ,
from Abbeville, South Carolina. iJt
One of the earliest recollections of (
my childhood, was a slap J got from (
Mrs. Lewis "Wardlaw, the mother J
of Mrs. McGowan, for going to her i
house with the measles. This is l
tho daughter nhe feared would takej;
them. The General's daughter isK
a facsimile of himself in indopen-l
deuce of thought, and originality!1'
too, as well as in unaffected refinement?altogether
such as a Carolinian
delights to meet abroad. Miss
Susie has been at School in Stauu- \
ton, Ya. j
Dr. Sims assures me that Mrs. <
C. has nothing seriously the matter c
with her, and claims her for a few !
months, that change of climate and
rest may build her up. Twenty
years in the itiueraut work, embracing
the war, certaiuly entitles her
to a respite.
How a man's love for his own
home and people augments, as from
an outside standpoint he contem- i
plates them. Oh! my people ! my ;
beloved South! The morning com- -1
eth! The dark night of tempest
and terror passcth away, and the '
sun of thy prosperity will rise! <
My heart weeps within me as I
think of the wrong perpetrated on -
a people so capable of bearing it .
with dignity, and it leaps to know <
that vindication will come. <

Hints on Politeness.
1. Girls should rise when an elder
person of either sex enters the room. ,
2. 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. They
nrill CXCU30 you, for you must have *
pest, and have it regularly, in order (
to pass the coming day cheerfully ?
ind profitably.?Central Baptist. I

TIio Value of Courteous Manners. (
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 ..

- i i 1 T.^
tiSUea tu Jiis suuuruiuuu's, iiu a.
Treat people as if you appreciated
uid were willing to acknowledge *

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

Rather seek to make the line popular,
because its business is depend- \
?nt on the good will of the people. \
foil need not be ashamed to let c

knowledge this.' 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. Yet they act and j
e-act upon each other, and the (
to corrnnt fho shadow mavL
nduce us to reform tlic substance. (

Republicanism in England'?'
Oharles Bradlaugh, the English agtator,
is now on a visit to this
jountry and has been interviewed
oy a correspondent of .the New
York Herald. lie a/inou;ices the
ollowing as his policy :
"Our policy is to promote and1
igitate in England by constitution-,
il means, and only by them. The,
)bjcction to that policy by the arisocracy
is that it it is impossible
;o establish a republic in a monarchy
by constitutional means. The r
government of England is not by: a
nonarch but is by a Parliament.,
Well, the monarchy is not heredity
but elective. The sole right
>f the reigning sovereign to rule ia
ierived from Parliament; thereore,
if, in Parliament, we can buo:eed
in repealing nthe act of settlenent
conferred in the 13 Will., 4, (
vhich gives the present sovereign
md House of Brunswick the only
itle to the Crown, then the throne >
jecomes vacant and may be filled
jy any other person selected by the
lation, or the superior executive
luthority, as the nation may direct
hrough its then Parliament"
His chief supporters are to be
ound among the artisans and meihanics
ot the great cities, and his
jrca^st opposition comes from the
luftled aristocracy, and the clergy
>r the established church.
