Never set a lien in a box above the ground, but on the ground always. It a person is so situated thai the eggs can't be set on the ground, mi ino nest about three inches deep with fresh earth, then make the rest on that, and at tiio end of the lirst wck, wash them off* in milk warm water; do the same at the end of the second week, and if the eggs are imprcguant, every one will hatch. It an egg gets broken and the other eggs get smeared over with it, the eggs so smcaied will not hatch unless washed clean. Eggs require a certain amount of moisture tor them to hatch well. When the chickens are, hatched eontine them for twenty-four hours and do not feed them; after that food with tho yolk of hard boiled eggs for two or three days, then with mush without salt for a few days more, then feed with meal and water.

Mil Khitok it) your paper of the 20th inst., \ on adopt an ait'cic in your c litoii 1 collimnsaccredited to t he Now York World, which contains four counts ngnisnl t he late (lenoral C'onlei enee ot the M. IC. Church, South, all ol which arc incorrect, as may be seen in the published proceedings, and are calculated to mislead the uninformed. We ask that yon do that able body of ecclesiastical legislators, and the large body of Christians whom they represent, the justice to place this denial as conspicuously in your columns as the charges against them appealed. 1st. In the first paragraph ol the said article the late General Conference of the Methodist Kpisoopal Church, Sout h, is represented as having passcd|a new law on the subject ol temperance. The General Conference enacted no new law on the subject of temperance. They simply defined the spirit of the old law which forbids "Drunkenness, or drinking any spirituous liquors, unless in cases of necessity." The church has ever held that the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is deleterious to piety and good morals; and il if iu n o it* ??An ?/ 1 - .v .??.u m iw line iti uo <i uevorago, it was wrong to make and sell it lor that purpose. This interpretation 0} the law was unquestioned, until within the last few years, when such a tide dI demoralizing influences set in as to induce some of her members to endeavor to evade the spirit and practice of the law by appealing to the letter saying "making and selling spirituous liquors are not named in the letter of the law, and therefore it is not unlawful." The action of the General Conference simply defined the spirit of the old law as it was accepted and practiced from the foundation of the church in 6rdor to meet the quibbling referred to. While all the pulpits of the old and new world are raising their warning and denouncing voice against this most destructive evil; while thtroomtnon voice of humanity is raised against it, the arraignment of the Methodist church before the public for doing the same cannot he explained on any principal of charity or justice. 2d. 'Idle second paragraph seeks to make it appear that the General Conference pronounced against fine music in divine worship. All that was said and done by the General Conference on this subject was to enter a protest against the tendency in some places to convert the church of [?od into an opera, and cogregational singing into praise of proxy. Nor did lliey inact that ministers should lead the singing as the paragraph would appear to show, but they expressed the opinion that the ministers are the conservators of the public worship, and that they should exercise their aflico to suppress meretricious and 1111levotional music in the house of God. The Methodist elturch is noted lor her high-souled devotional music as opposed to the operatic. ;3d. The third paragraph would lead ns to suppose that the General Conference took new grounds upon the subject of dancing. The Methodist I'.hurch Ktdl holds views on that subject which were syehronoos with, and . ver antedated the foundation of the Christian church, which every inlorined reader ot ecclesiastical literature knows full well. Heathen writers condemn it as a social evil, and the church at large has over deemed it at ^Vn Indeper WAYBOHO, S. C., SAr enmity with piety and devotion. The Methodist church is not uni<pie on this Buhjecl; she occupies common grounds 1 with nil the other churches ; hut sho j may he more rigid in enforcing her l >rt?eo nt h I 1 The Methodist church for years j adopted the wise policy of avoiding us far as possible special legislation, and , laid down general principles for the ! 1 government of her members. But in I these latter days the spirit of worldli- i ness and disobedience to law in its I spirit and practice, having taken j shelter behind the letter ol the law the i General Conference thought best to i leave the quibbler without excuse, and declare against dancing in the letter | of the law as the church has always done in tlie spirit and practice. That the church should be arrainged for making her practice consistent with a well accepted principle ot Christendom does not look fair. 4th. The fourth paragraph presents ! the General Conference as agreeing to organic union with the M. E. church, North. They did receive fraternal messengers lroni the General Conference ol the M. E. church, North, empowered simply to expicss fraternal regard. They did appoint fraternal messengers in return with similar instruction, and also a commission to meet a similar commission from the General Conference North to adjust questions, (chiefly involving ownership of property) which since the war have proved harriers to Christian charity bid ween these bodies. But they declared most emphatically against organic union with theiu. Thus it is scon 11?t. the impressions intended to ho made against the M. 10. church, South, ui tho four paragraphs of the paper arc untrue a.ml unjust in every particular. 'l'ho Methodist church stands now whore she over stood, hold to maintain the principles accepted by Christendom, and notwithstanding the socnlled "Asceticism" and "Puritanism." by t he admission of the article in question, from being one of the youngest ?>l the sisterhood of churches, she has grown to be one ol the largest and most influential.

CnursTtAN Communion.?The Christian World gives in very plain words . the difference between the Baptists of Knglaml and America on the question of Christian communion. It says; "In respect of freedom of commun- \ ion, the Bapt ists of the States are jusj ( a century behind the Baptists of Pugland. A hundred years ago it was held by Baptists to be scandalous lor a person who had been immersed to i sit down at tho Lord's Supper with , one who had only been sprinkled; and that is just the state of tilings prevailing on the oilier side of the Atlantic ' to-day. Nearly every Knglish Bap- i tist professing to any sort ol education is now ashamed of this species ol bigotry; and it may be hoped that the leaven of common sense Christian charity, which certain brethren seek < to put into the American churches, ,v will have its wholesome elfect in due ( time." [From the Union-Herald.] i The situation of affairs not only in t this State, but throughout the 1 Tiled _ JJ J States, is very much mixed. Jn tins State we are on the eve of a campaign, ' and all the elements, inside and out- 1 side, conspire to make it one of the 1 hottest Hummers on record outside of i the State; the American press are pouring their broadsides into our craft. Whenever an editor of any of 1 the metropolitan or provincial press ' of the country is troubled with in- i digestion and grows querulous, he , turns to South Carolina and finds any . amount of material for any amount of healthy "cussing." The worst of it * ip., that wo cannot say aught to a good * (h-ul that is written against us. We c might turn upon them and hay, that , corruption "breeds its maggots in the sun" in other States as in our "more sunny chine;" but wo don't know { the lacts there, while all that they < have to do is to send some live news- ' paper man down here, and almost ( anybody will tell him anything he wants to know, and perhaps a good deal more, according to the quiet or ' inflamed condition of his imagination* , ile that as it may, there can bo no doubt about the desperate state of affairs. There can bo little doubt that some man will have to ho elected as Governor who will restore confi- * deuce to our people and to the country at large. It is altogether too soon to ( point out me political Messiah ; but it I may bo Haul, with Homo reliance upon our laith and credit, that if wo wore tbo Israelites and the Governor of this State was our Moses, wo would prefer to turn to Pharoah and give him a square stand-up-light before we would trust to cross an ordinary ditch, much less ailed Sea, no matter how accommodating the waters might bo. j mm <m>m m m i wmrnm?0w^m i im mn rmmfwrnrn-* ir <r irlont Journal. run DAY, -I UXK 'J 7, I Suuv?l Oout of a HiIV.

It was one ot those nights in midwinter, when the wind sweat over the land makiiif i 7 r> everything tingl*5 with its frosty breath, that f was seated hetore a blazing lire, surrounded by a jolly half ctozcn hoys ami an old balchelor, A. Peter (liven, about forty and eight years old. It was just the night without to make those within enjoy a good story, so each of us had to tell his favorite story, save .Mr. (liven, and as he was a jolly story teller, we were somewhat surprised to hear him say, "I have no story to toil that would interest you,'1 so we had to lind other entertainments lor a while, w hen ono of the boys told mo to ask him how it happened that he never got married,. tSo I did. "Well, gentlemen," he began, "it does not s< em right lor me to tell how that happened, but as it is about myself, I don't care much. Von see when I was young we had to walk as high as live miles to church and singing school which was our chief enjoyment. lint this don't have anything to do with my not, getting a wife, but 1 just, wanted to show you how we had some trouble them days in getting our sport. .Joint Sr .th and 1 were like brothers, or like 4.Mary and her l imb.'

So home we went with the girls. When we got to the end of the lane I told the girls we proposed going all the way.

So we stepped out on the torch, but just as we did so the skv I kVHH lit v>p l>y lightning, and one trcnendous thunder peal rolled along ilio Mountain sides. Its echo hud not lied out in the far oil' vales until the ain began to pour from the garnered ullncss of the clouds.

We didn't have far to go, as the bed stood near the head of the stairs. John was soon in bed, but as I always was a little slow and full of curiosity, 1 was looking around the little room. At last 1 thought I would sit down on a chest, which was spread over with a nice white cloth, while I drew off my boots. Ho down I sat, when, stars of the cast! I went plump into a big custard pie! I thought John would die laughing, lor lie said I smashed that custard all to thunder and the plate right in two. You see wo had to bo awful quiet, so the old man would not hear.
