Having left the home of my childhood, and sojourned for fifteen years in one of the most fertige sections of the Southwest. I may be pardoned for offering a few suggestions to any who may be on-theverge of-emigrating from this their native State, to try the uncer tainties of what they suppose to be abetter country. My experience has been, that farming is mucb surer of success here than there. All a man needls here is a plenty ty of energy and a determination to succeed, and without these qual ities he will not succeed any where. The disasters to which the crops are subject are much more numer ons there than here. The expenses of carrying on a farm are much heavier. The yield of a crop for a term of years is much less uniform there than here. When there is a good crop made it is more than can be gathered, but this is of sel dom occurrence. When there is a failure it is an entire one. IIere we are sure df making something' every year, be it ever so little. Nere we havi health, good water, and passable roads in winter. There more or less sickness (gener ally more) muddy lime water, and -well, there is no adjective that 'will convey any idea of the roads* in 'winter. If a man intends to work himself in his farm, he will find it much more trying to his health and constitution there than here. Veg etation grows very luxuriantly, and :the dews are so heavy that one can seldom go, on foot, in a field in the forenoon, without becoming drench ed. Many of the old settlers carry quinine in their pockets and take a dose every morning in the year round. I worked in my farm there and it gave me chronic chills, from w:hich I suffered three years. The doctors gave me so much qui ~nine that it nearly destroyed my hearing, and quite destroyed a good portion of my earnings. I work here in ny farm without any injury to my health, though it was very much impaired when I returned. I find hard work agrees with a man here. Young men, take my advice, pull off your coats, roll up your sleeves, take hold of the plough; ~and hoe- bandies, and quit thinking about "going west" to try to make -a living easily for there is simply no such thing possible. "By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou cat bread."-SMALL FARMER, in Rural Carolinian, May No. Fi.OWER GARDENING FOR LA DLES.-Ladies should be their own -flower gardeners. The greater part of the work is light and fur nishes pleasant exercise and recrea [tion. During the warm season, - teearly morning hours and the sen for evening should be cho snorthie operations of the gar den. "But I am not strong enough," do you say'? This is just the way to acquire strength. Be gin very moderately, allowing some stronger person to do the heaviest work. An hour or two of light, ac tive and pleasurable employment, out of-doors, each fair day, take our word for it, will prove more benefi cial than the best tonic mixture that your good and much respected doc tor, with all his skill, can prepare for you. Try it. You will soon be able to use the light hoe and *spade, which we recommend you to procure at once, with case and pleasure. The quack's female pills find few patrons among the wives! and daughters who cultivate their own flower gardens. The idea L\.:\D WAsHIING.-One of the greatest ob'eetions to our farming operations in this country is the tend..mev of our rich soi, to wash off and rapidly deteriorate in fertility. Ani(t -t r misfortune is the indiffer ence with which many farmers treat this important subject. It is plain to any observing mind that a fi.d of r ch, fertile soil will yield dotble the amonnt of one that has been thu3 neglected, and suffered other malpractices. I have in my mind now the case of a so-called farmer who allowed an old road way, a quarter of a mile in length, to wash so deep a plough could hardly cross it, when ten minutes wi. h a spade would have prevented it. And ofteni we see large, im p issable ditches form through valuable land with no effort to stay ti.e fearful waste. This, with a fearful vuice, verifies the old say ing, "a stitch in time saves nine." A few hints in regard to reme dies are in order. First, the land can be ploughed so as to help the case by running the furrows cross wise of the rills. I prefer to have the water flow in straight rills at regulir intervals, and to prevent these from washiig deeper, back corn-stalks, large green weeds, fine straight brush, etc., in the bottom, and allow the grass and weeds to grow in these ditches. Thus the water has something to wear on, and with a little care much soil can thus be saved. But the best man ner to preserve the fertility of the soil is, as any intelligent farmer knows, to seed down to grass, es pecially clovers, not forgetting the inportance of the proper use of manre.-Western Farmer. - - STARTING MELONs.-Thc following unique planr which we find adrift with out credit, is said to be the one long in use by a man who has had remark able success in growing melons. We suppose it would answer equally well with squashes and similar plants: "I dig holes twelve inches square, eight or ten inches deep ; fill up with well rotted manure to the surface. On this put two inches of soil. Then take a four-inch flower pot.; set in the cen ter; draw the remainder of the soil around the pot, until the soil is about four inches deep, then giving the pot a twist round withdraw it. This leaves a hold four inches deep by four wide. In this drop five or six seeds, and cov er to the depth of three-quarters of an inch. Over this place a pane of six by eight glass, pressing it lightly to fit close. I then give no more attention till the plants are touching the glass. Then go through taking a small stone, raise up one end of the glass with it ; this admits of a circulation of air over the plants and hardens them. In about three days more remove the glass entirely. By this time they will be in the rough leaf; thin out to three plants in a hill, draw a little fine soil around them, up as as high the seed leaf, and the work is done." CUCUMBER PICKLES.-Put into a jar or barrel one pint of molasses to each gallon of cold water; add the cuumbers daily, as you pick them, having them first washed with a feath er brush, and see they are not scratch ed or bruised, and that the stem is cut, not broken or pulled off. Put a weight on them, and when they have become sufficiently sour remove them to the cellar or a cool place, but never let them freeze. If more liquor is needed, add molasses and water as before. Since horseradish was recommended in the Rural New Yorker a few years since, I have used it with the best re salts, and now put it among all piekles to prevent scum or mold. Add spices if desired. These pickles are as good as cucumber pickles can be made, will keep a year and ready for use at anly time after the first few weeks. I think all housekeepers, to whom it is new, will hail this recipe with delight, as I did, for I was tired of "saltitg down," and too much of a temperance woman to use or make whisky pickles for my family. VARIETY PICKLE.-One gallon of cabbage finely chopped; half pint green peppers; half gallon green tomatoes ; one quart onions (chopped fine and the juice drained from them); four tablespoonfuls mustard; two of gin ger ; one of cloves; two of tumerie-; one ounce celery seed ; two pounds su gar; a little salt and half gallon good cider vinegar. Mix well and boil twenty minutes. Anything like snaps or cucumbers cau be chopped in before boiling. Geutlenmen think this pickle very fine. The London Field records the complete and wonderful restoration of a lot of chickens badly afiiicted with the gapes, by means of a feed of tallow candle melted and mixed with a quart of oatmeal. The same cure has been repeatedly tried with invariable success. Let no man make light of this prescription. isceUaneens. Important to Taxpayers. JUDGE GRAHAM'S DECREE AFFIRMING THE RECEIVABILITY OF THE BANK OF THE STATE BILLS FOR TAXES. The following is the decree of Judge Graham, the substance of which has been already announced: In the Common Pleas. Charleston County, First Circuit-The State ex rel. the Union Banks, vs. Wil liam Gurney, County Treasurer, Charleston County. The relator tendered bilis of the corporation known as the president and directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina for payment of taxes due to the State. The tender was made under the section of. the charter of the corporation which pro vides that these bills shall be received for taxes and money due to the State. The county treasurer refused to re ceive the bills so tendered, and appli cation was made for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not is sue to compel that officer to receive the bills so tendered. The county treasurer has filed his return, and the relator has filled his reply to the same. The case so pre. sented is in no material respect dif ferent from the cases which have been before the Supreme Court of this State and of the United States. In the cases of Wagner vs. Stoll, and Robb and Lowndes vs. Gurney, all the questions now before the court of the United States, the judgment of that court declaring that the bills of this corporation should be received for taxes, adopted by the Supreme Court of this State in the cases refer red to, a mandamus has been ordered to go from this court to the county treasurer to receive the bills of this corporation for taxes. I consider, therefore, that the ques tion of the receivability of the bills of the corporation known as the presi dent and directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina, for pay nient of taxes due to the State, is final ly and conclusively .settled by the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Supreme Court of this State. When the State became bound by its obligations to ic ceive these bills for taxes and money due to it, such portions of the general tax as were applied to the wants of the subdivisions, then called districts and now called counties, were levied by the State itself. Now they are levied by the counties, but in the ex ercise of a power given by the State who is responsible to the State for misfortune or malfeasance in office ? There is much forcein what is said, that when the State assumed the obli gation to receive those bills for taxes. all taxes were due to the State, levied by it and applied as it directed in the districts. now called counties. It is true that the power which the court now exercises in regard to taxa tion is the power which the State gives to it, and, moreover, it is true that a qualification of the power of the State in regard to the, mode in which a.tax is paid, would seem to follow the exercise of the power if delegated. . But the question is not free from doubt,. and if the taxpayer has the right to pay taxes in the coun ty in these bills, it is proper that it should be so affirmed by the Supreme Court. The judgment of this court is, that the bills of the president and directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina are to be received for taxes due to the State ef South Carolina, but not for taxes due to the County of Charleston. Let a mandamus issue to William Gurney, county treasurer of Charles ton County, to receive for payment oIf taxes due to the State the bills of the president and directors of. the Banik 'of the State of South C4rolina tender Ied by the relator. This order will,be applicoble to all other cases in which tender of such bills bave been made and mandamus asked for. R. F. GRAMA M.

Its mother, hearing its cries, worked her way to the bottom of the well, caught the child's clothing in her teeth, and climbed with it to the top.
