A PATHETIC BALLAD.
BY MM. It. K. BL1FEINS.
In Manchester a maiden dwelt,
Her name waa Phoebe Brown ;
Hor cheeks were red her hair was black.
And she was considered by good
judges to be by all odds the best looking
girl in town.
Ilcr age was nearly seventeen
IT or avm xrr>rr> nnnrklincr briaht
-J 1 O O '
A very lovely girl was sho?
And for about a year and a ball
there had been a young man paying attention
to her by the name of Reubin
Wright. .
Now Ruebcn was a nice young man
As any in the town;
And Phoebe lovod him very dear?
But on account of his being obliged
to work for a living, he never could make
himself agreeable to eld Mr. and Mrs
Brown.
Ilcr parents were resolved
Another she should wed ;
1 A rich old miser in the place?
And old Brown frequently declared
that rather than have his daughter manyReuben
Wright, he'd sooner knock him
on the head.
But Phoebe's heart was brave and strong
Sho feared not Darent's frowns *
And as for Reuben Wright no bold,
I've hoard him say moro than fifty
times that (with the exception of Phoebe)
he didn't care a d?n for the whole race
of Browns.
So Phoebe Brown and Reuben Wright,
Determined they should marry ;
Three weeks ago last Thursday night
They started for old Parson Webster's,
determined to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony, though it was tremendous
dark and raided like the veryOld
Harry.
But Captain Brown wa^ wide awake;
IIu loaded up his gun,
And then pursuod the loving pair:
He overtook 'em when they'd got
about half-way to the Parson's, and then
Reuben and Phoebe started off upon the
run.
Old Brown then took a deadly aim
Towards young Reuben's head ;
Bnt, oh! it was a bleeding shame.
He made a mistake and shot his only
daughter and had the unspeakable anguish
of seeing her drop tight down stone
dead.
Then amraiah fiflM vnnnn
And vengeance crazed his brain;
Ha drew an awftil jack knife out.
And plunged it into old Brown some
fifty or sixty times, to that it is very doubtfill
about his ever coming to life again.
The briny drop* from Kusben's eyes,
In torrents poured down :
He yielded up the ghost and died?
And this melancholy and heart-rending
matter terminates the history of Reuben
and Phoebe, and likewise of old Captain
Brown.
THI END.
LOTS.
A violet peered from the window sill,
One sultry summers day,
And the noontide silently camc^md stole
The violet's bloom away.
Bntacloud swept lazily over the sky,
The noontide fell in vain,
And the zephyrs were reawakened soon
By a gentle August rain.
The meadow and woodland rejoiced
anew,
The pool and streamlet sweHed,
And a single drop from the flood was all
The violet's goblet held.
Yet when the evening canopied the

The violet united below,
For the pearly bestowal revived her
heart,

presumed that during Janua y you had
your garden well manured, not with fresh
stable manure, but with that from the
now lot, well rotten ; fowl house manure
Is very good; or stable manure will do if
well rotted and applied early, a little
Wrbed ashes will not hurt. If you did
not spade eery deep, eay Eileen or eighteen

that were planted early should

for early use; it come early and has
fine ears. This may be planted till the

Carrots should be planted now ; they
will grow as deep in the ground as you
will spade and manure. I find it very
convenient to plant two rows near each
oth^r, say about eight inches, and leave a
space of about fifteen inches betwen the
next two ; it gives better room to pass and
, cultivate. Ac.
The first favorable weather in this
month the various kinds of bush beans
might be planted, if the weather will not
permit until the middle or Inst of the
month. The thousand to one is one of
i the best bushbeans cultivated. It is not so
early as some of the other kinds.
Plant early bush squash. A little stable
manure will be von* well here.
If you have not n good asparagus bed,
1 get the seed and sow them at once. Sow
i tlicin in drills about n foot wide: manure

Suggestions to Young Mothers.
Rive so early in the morning, that you
may bo able to secure at least half an
hour for readiug the Sriptutes and prayer
before your domestic concerns require
you attention. You will find this exercise
admirably adapted to prepare and
strengthen you to encounter, with a becoming
temper and spirit, the trials and
vexations of the day.
Accustom your children to make prayer
and praise to God, the giver and preserver
of life, the first employment in the
morning, and the last at night. Remember
that the duties of a mother un.
transferable; therefore, except in cases of
; unavoidable nc easily, never suffer the
devotional exercises of jour children to
be superintended by another,
i See that your daughters rise early, and
that they employ themselves al>out such
domestic affairs as arc suited to their years
and capacities.
Never suffer your children to require
services from others which thev can perform
for themselves. A strict observance
of this rule w ill be of incalculable advantage
to them through every period of life.
Let all the young memtars of your
family be regularly washed and combed,
before breakfast; never |>ennit them to
treat you with so much disrespect as to
appear at your table in a slovenly condition.
It should ever be remembered that
the highest respect which a child can pay
is due to its parent. This respect may l>e
insured by forming correct habits in
youth.
"Pray, may I ask," said an English
bibliopole of distinction, at an agreeable
party where we had the pleasure to meet
him the other evening, "may I ask whether
in America the law matrimonial entitle*
a man to marry the cousin of hit widow!"
"Oh, yea," answered, a legal gentleman
of eminence, who was present,
"that ia admissible; hut there has been
some doubt in our courts as to the propriety
of a man's marrying the sister of
his decsased vsxftT "Oh, ay;" repiiod his
querist: "In England, it is somewhat
different. TKtrt it has been, and is still
held, that no man can marry the cousin
of his widow, because, before he ha* a
widow, he must die himself!" The 'catch'
was adroitly plied, and, when exposed,
created roars of laughter. The recently
agitated question, touching incidently the
marrying of a wife's sister, was what di
verted the reflection of the guests.?Knickerbocker.

for some years past. Several cases have :

Manufacturing in Columdia.? We have
frequently noticed the nanufacturing tendencies
of Columbia, although the result have
not yet become sufficiently important to challonge
attention abroad, it became necessary
to the great interests of the place for the
future, that every additional development of
capacity to produce something new and useful
"at home" should be noted, in order properly
to encourage the expenditure of new
effort for new result.
We examined with much pleasure the other
day a amall Iron Slidng lathe, manufactured
in her town by Mr. D.-IIuckins for Mr. Cooper,
jeweler. The castings weremnidin Charleston,
but the patterns and finising of the
work were executed in Columbia. As a spoimen
of mechanic,it will compare with any
thing ever brought from the prolific North,
and we trust that, should any of our readers
ui-mre hi puwHCHs any similar nuicie in m?
way of machinery, they will call upon Columbia
mechanics hafore looking elsewhere.
The lnthe may be examined by curious at

the most rigoroussn inspection will sustaia

The Soil of the South for
1852.
IN May, 1860, a number of Planters living
In Georgia and Alabama, met in Columbus,
Ga., and formed themaelvcs into an Agricultural
Society. Tbe advantages of such
an association were at once apparent, and
with the view to contrbutc as much as possible
to agricultural improvement, it was determined,
at a meeting of the Society in January,
1861, to establish an Agricultural Journal.
As the result of that action,
44 THE SOIL OF THE SOUTH,"
mode its appearance in the month of March
last It was hailed w ith universal approbation.
nnD from that dav to this, it has stand.
ily and mpidly increased in circulation and
public favor. At the recent great Fuir in
Macon. Ga.. it was by a unanimous vote of
the members recommended to the patronage
of Southern Agriculturists, and elected to
be the
ORGAN OF THE SOUTHERN CENTRAL
AGRICULTUR A I. ASSOCIATION
It will hereafter be published under the
auspices of that association, and will be the
medium of communicating officially, all intelligence
pertaining to Its interests and objects,
by a resolution of the Executive Committee,
the publisher is authorised to send
a copy of the paper pratuitovsty to all Agricultural
Societies in the South that will send
their oddr?M tc the office of publication.
The columns of the Soil of the South will
