! \ VARIET Y. _ Meohnnioal Aid in Agriculture Two distinot classes, which iuny bo tonned tho old school and thc now, nt present operate in tho field of Agriculture Tho former, with a stubborn tenacity, hold to tho tools and modes of working ns handed dowu to them by their ancestors, actually driving tho same Woodon plow that their fathers drove, cutting their fields of grass with tho heavy hand soytho as did their progenitors, laboriously boating tho flail in tho very same manner ns thoy boat tho grain from goldon sheaves j and wo recollect to havo seen, and that too with in the past few years, thc ox used upon thc threshing floor to tread out thc grain. It will bo noticed that this class of farmers disdain to uso mechanical assistance in their agricultural labors, considering them ns ono of thc many humbugs of thc agc, "hard cam ed" dollars out of thor pockets. They argue that their fathers lived and prospered on those broad acres, and why should not they do thc same? But they admit that they do net prosper ns did their ancestors, though follow ing faithfully in their footsteps, plowing, sow iug and reaping precisely in tho same manner) Using tho sumo tools, and lacking not thc habits of iudustry whioh distinguished those that wrought before them j yet tho stubborn conviction faces itself upon their miuds thal . they do not grow richer, but rather poorer and their fields grow less productive. TI103 often lean upon their gates or rest upon th? hoc handle and discuss their situation witl their neighbors, seemingly endeavoring t< 'BOIVO tho knotty problem j they lamcut thci hard lot and and thc unprofitableness of farm ing, nnd envy that class of mechanics wh have a greater shnro of money than themselves *vVc regret that ideas of this kind arc earl instilled iuto tho minds of their sons on daughters, who, nt an carly agc, barely fledj ed os it were. ' 1 order to better their cond tion, lcavo their parental homo and seek cn t ploy men t in towns and cities, eagerly graspin thc opportunity of a clerkship with a salar that cnn barely give support, consoling then BCIYCS with Mic idoa that as farming "do? mot pay," they arc no worse off than thc would bc at home. Another generation will see this class < old school agriculturists disappear from tl: field of action, and thc class of scientific faru ers will havo filled their places-a class-wli believe in the progress and improvement an hesitate not to turn from thc manner in whic their fathers wrought. They value thc muscle, and sock to do their work by tho ni of steam or animal power, ond such mcchai ical combinations os can best assist to perter what was ouoc accomplished by thc "sweat * the brow." They have oalled thc genius 1 tho mechanic to their aid, aud, as a resu tho mower, tho reaper, thc threshing machin and scores of other inventions have been pr -duccd, accomplished thc desired end. As one of tho result, of this employment machiuery, wo soc tho loss hours of notual 1 bor consumed and a greater amount of wo: finished in a better manner. No farmer ci now prosper without mechanical appliance and thcao being among thc stern demands tho present time their best points aro broug out and to "pay." Without them failure an evident certainty. Thc lifo of thc ag oultuvist is fast omerging from one of scry labor to that of intelligent and pleasant c ploymcnt, bringing, when rightly conducte golden sheaves of harvest, laden with thc orease of au hundred fold from thc seed or inally sown.-American Artisan. Too Muon LAND.-Wo know a farn who, ten yoars ago owned ono hundred a fifty acres of land, and was doing well ; ho m owns five hundred and is worse off than foro. And why ? Because this large fa is a great expense to him ; ho cannot afford keep it up in good condition, and it hm like a millstone of caro about his nook. I wifo and hi? children, both sons and d.\ughte aro obliged to work hard to keep thc gr machino running. Wc presume his boys dare they will loavo home as soon as tl R?O old enough ; and tho girls say they 1 die before ohoy will marry farmers. Ncit sons nor daughters aro educated as they sortro to bo, they oannotbc spared for this fr woik on thc big farm. Now wo declare tl such a farm is a curso to its possessor and family, and an injury to tho wholo agricul ral intorest. If that man wants to savo hi self and his household, he should sell at le ono half of his land, improvo thc romain? to ruako it moro productivo, reliovo his cl dro? from bondage, and try to make his ho a comfort. He will livo longer, lay up as ge a property, and will train up a moro intclligi nnd'a happier family. [ Am en'ca n Agricul tu ral isl, VNPREPATD.

THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.-It is said that President Chant has chosen September ns tho timo for tho elections in Virginio, Mis sissippi and Texas, when thc crops will havo been harvested, in order to allow colored men a fair chance to vote." "Wo do not know wdicro he gets Ins infomation regarding South ern crops. In Mississippi and Toxaa, nt least they will all hnvo been laid by by tho 1st of July, aud September will find th6 negroes in tho midst of cotton picking, and ono of tho busiest seasons of thc year. Thcso clcotionsj should bo held late in July, or by tho 1st o August nt farthest, in which ovent tho time lost just previous, during and subsequent to thc election will not bo sovcrcly felt. THE Washington Chronicle, of Monday, says: ''Governor H. K. Scott, of South Car olina, has arrived in this city, and is stopping at Willard's. Ho is cn route for Cincinnati nod Louisville, where ho will meet other gen. tlcmcn of South Carolina, who visit those cit ies in thc interest of tho Bluo llidgc Railroad, Iwhich is a short link of road through tho Blue Ridge Mountains, oonnooting Andcrsou, South Carolina, with Knoxville, Tennessee Whon oomplctod, this road will givo tho shortest routo from tho great West to tho South At lantic sea coast, and will do muoh to develop thc commercial and agr i cultual resources of | both South Carolina and sections of other adja cent States.

A BETTER CURRENCY.-We arc told by a Northern exchange that wo arc soou to have currency that it will bc impossible to counter feit, aud thc old poper fractional and other wise, will bc called in and destroyed. Thc only paper money that has ever defied thc skill of counterfeiters is that issued by thc Rank of England.

Grant may invito Leo to dinner, may appoint Longstreet to high office, may othcrwiso favor Southern men onco our foes, but thcro is no fear in thc country that by these steps thc sharp liuo of distinction between loyalty and treason will bc rubbed out or even blurred; but Johnson could not do half this without twioo thc suspicion of his motives and tendency.-2Vew York Herald. SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL MAGA ZINE.-Thc State Agricultural Society, yes terday, endorsed, os its official organ, an acriculturnl magazine, to be published by Walker, Evans and Cogswell, of Charleston. Tho ilfst number of thc magazine will appear about thc 1st of August, and thc nome of thc publishers is a sufficient guaranty that this j ong felt want jf South Carolina is about to bc well supplied. OIL AND COTTON.--Thc Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer says: "Tho announcement that thc late destructive fire in Madison was prob ably caused by thc contact of cotton material with oil, ought to admonish tho public of thc danger of such a contact. Mr. A. 1). Brown, whose mechanical experience and observation arc valuable, informs us that if cotton is sat urated with boiled oil and afterwards exposed to tho sunshine, it will ignite in fiftcon min utes; and, that its ignition, .when left in thc shade aftor such a saturation, though a slower process, is hardly less certain. He hos known several instances of combustion producod by thc saturation of raw cotton and cotton good8 io oil, both when afterwards thrown out into thc sunshine and whon loft in a boase No doubt there aro other light substances ucarly as liable as cotton to take firo after contact with oil. Thc terrible disastor at Madison should put all persons on their guard against occidents from tho same oauso. IMPROVINO OUH COMMON FOWLS.-A se lection of cockerels for stock birds may bo mado by thc time they weigh ono and a half or two pounds, and are flt to market as broil ers. Large, full-breasted, brood-bucked, flat iron shaped, strong-limbed, small headed birds should bc chosen. They will of course beta ken from the curliest broods, and thus come from tho best carly laying hcus. It makes a groat difference in thc stock what eggs are batched ; those of many hons ought novor to bo hatched. It rarely pays to winter moro than twice, any but very superior hons, of ohoioo breeds, and rnising well marked chick ens. Keep only ohoico lions ovor winter, but thin out tho ranke and fill thom with young pullets. In selecting pullets ono should bo guided by tho character of thc hen tba*, hid tho )gg^ in each particular caso, if possible; by their Iorgo sizo, carly maturity, perfection of geno ral characteristics and by their health and vi vacity. Espcoinl points should bo a (\\\\ breast, straight brcat bono, a fiat baok, brood bo tween tho shoaidors, deep body, small, short, dolloato logs and foot, small hood, full olear oyo, and smooth, unruffled plumago. Such will bo gent?o, quiet, and familiar) if not, thcso points must also bo sought. [Tlte American Affrictdturalist.

Another Ku Klux outrage. As White as Snow-Isaiah 1: 8. That is a beautiful thought of tho lamented Dr. James Hamilton : Suppose that every ono woro to mark in golden letters tho text which has been tho moans of saving his soul. Tho Apostlo Paul would mark tho words, " Saul, Saul, why persccutcst thou mc ?" for it was those words, spokon by Jesus from tho daz zling light, that made him a now oroature - In tho Biblo of tho Macedonian jailor, tho letters would bo found at Aots xvi, 31 : "Bo lieve on tho Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt bo saved;" for ombracing this simple offer ho rejoiced, believing in God with all his \ house. Martin Luther would print thc text, " Tho just shall live by faith/' in gold ; for that text, spokon by tho gent?o lips of tho vicar-general, guided him to pence ; and tho young monk of Erfurth, rcduocd by fasts, and tears and struggles, to thc verge of tho gravo, found rest in thc wounds of Jesus. In tho Biblo of Bunyan, thc mark would bo found at, " Yetthoro is room." It was thro' tho lattice of theso words that ho lirst saw thc cross, and ho thought God had put thom into tho Biblo to moot his spooiul caso. And tho ironsido soldier would indicate Eccl, xi, 9 ; for it was thoro tho bullet stopped, whioh, but for tho interposing Bible, would have piorcod his bosom ; and whoo tho battle was over Lc road, " Bejoico, O young man, in thy youth, and wulk in thc ways of thine heart, and in tho sight of thine eyes ; but know thou that for all these things God will bring theo into judgment." But who can tell how many would enshrine in gold a text whioh has oomfortcd millions, nod which is destiued to comfort millions more ; or what words do we so instinctively turu to, in directing aux ious souls to Christ, ns these : " Come now, and let us reason togcthor, Baith tho Lord; though your Bins bo ns scarlet, they shall bc as white us snow ; though they bo red like orimson, they shall bo as wool."-Monitor. WAU ALWAYS SELTISH.-War is purcly) intensely selfish. A natiou fights, not for tho welfare of its enemies, nor for tho general good of mankind, but for its own pride, am bition or other iutcrcsts. Individuals may bc disinterested; but nations have little regard for thc brotherhood of their voce. They commonly act. on tho principal of n baso, all engrossing selfishness, aud glory in it ns the very nemo of their aspirations. "A States man," says Channing, "is expeoted to take advautagc of tho woakuoss and wants of other countries. How loose a morality governs thc intercourse of States ! What falsehoods and intrigues are licensed by diplomacy i What nation regards nuothcr with true friendship What nation makes sacrifices for onothcr'f good ? What nation is as anxious to perform its duties ns to assert its rights ? What nation lays down thc everlasting law of right, cast3 itself fearlcesly on its principals^ and chooses to he poor, or to perish, rather than to do wrong? Can communities so selfish, so un ! friendly, so unprincipled, so unjust,'bc expec ted to wage righteous wars? Especially if i with selfishness arc joined national prejudices) antipathies and exasperated passions, what else can bo expected in the public policy but inhumanity and crime ?" LET Us II ELI? ONE ANOTHER.-This lillie sentence should bc written on every heart and stamped on every memory. It should bc thc golden rule practiced not only in every household, hut throughout thc world. By helping one another, we not only remove thorns from thc pnthway, anci anxiety from thc mind, but wc feel a seusc of ploasuro in our own hearts, kuowing wc aro doing a duty to a fellow oroatnro. A helping hand or an encouraging word is no loss to us, yet it is a benefit to others. Who has not felt thc pow er of this little sentenco ? How soothing, when perplexed with some task that is mys terious and burthonsomo, to feel a gentle hartd on tho shoulder aud to hear a kind voice whispering: "Do not feel discouraged sec your trouble-let me help you " What strength is inspired-what hope created, what swoct gratitude is felt, and tho great difficul ty is dissolved as dew boucath thc sunshine. Yes, lot us help ono another by endeavoring to strengthen and encourage the weak and oppressed, that life may glido smoothly on and tho fount of bitterness yiold sweot waters and ho whose willing haqd is over ready to aid us, will roward our humble endeavors, and every good deed will bc as "broad cast upon the waters, to return after many days," if not to us, to those wc love. CONCEIT.-Hardly anything is more con tomptiblo than tho conceit whioh rests merely upon Booinl position-thc conceit of those wh< imagine that thus they arc divorced from tho day of common mon, of those who shrink with horror from tho plea of work, something which dogrades by its vory contact, and yet, who rory likely, owe their prosont position to somo not remote anoostor, who, recognizing his call to work, lived more honestly in thc world than thoy do; and was not ashamed of j BOUA/L-thumbs. It is ono o? tho meanest things for people to bo ashamed of work from whioh thoy draw their income, and, whioh glorified their ancestors moro with their soiled aprons and black gowns, than themselves with their ribbons and Uno jowolry. It might bo a fino thing to bo like tho lilies, moro glorious ly clothed thun Solomon, and doing nothing, if wc were only lilies. Advantageous position is only an eraphatio onll to Work J and whllo those who hold tlie advantage may not bo ppm* polled] \o manual drudgery, thoy should rooog ni*o tho faoo that manuol drndgory may bo pcjrformod In tho samo spirit as that which oharaotoriaes their own work and thoroforo that it is equally honorable, HR that scoffs at tho crooked, had need go very upright himself. IT DON'T PAY TO ADVERTISE.-Don't it? Tho man who says it don't pay to advovtiso is, just as likely ns not, doing it in some way, all thc time. If tho merchant hangs a few of j his goods outsido of tho door-he is advert?s, lng. If thc cabinet maker hangs a chair or other article of Furniture at his shop door, he is advertising. If a mau loses a horso 01 n cow aud tells every ono ho meets, ho is ad vertising his loss. Tho Doctor who has a boy to run iuto church and call him out in haste, is advertising. A man cannot do business without odver. Using, and tho question should bo, tho best way to advertise If you hnvo a lot of perso nal property to sell, which is best ; to writo out a few notices thst not one in fifty will stop to read, or go to the printer and hnvo a lot of well displayed posters ? If you aro in business of any kiud, is it not better to keep a regular standing advertisement in your homo paper, that will stare your friends mid customers in tho face every week, rather than trust to thc old fo?ry idea of-"Oh, they all know mc?" But soys Mr. Suvcall, advertising costs money. Very true, and so does everything else ; and it is a good thing for you that ad vertising does cost something. If it did not, every littlo worthless oonoeru would stand as good a ohauoo for beiog known as thc ycry best and most usoful. If you want thc people to know that you havo anything to sell, ad vertise it iu your home paper first, then in your neighboring papers. Thc man who has a reputable business, and spends thc most in a liberal system of advertising, is thc one who makes the most money. This is a truth well verified by thc experience of those who have tried it. A wagon may bc made to ruu without greasing, but its bard work ; so a man may manage to scratch along without adver tising, but bc will be very upt to sec bis ad vertising neighbor going uiiead of him at a 2.40 gait.-Independent, Gray ville*, Ul. MISCEGENATION.-Lieutenant George P. Wood, of Boston, Mass., was married on thc 25th ultimo, at Beaufort, by Hov. Arthur Waddell, a colored preacher, to Susan UlniCr, a colored girl. Wood, wc urdorstand, is from a respectable family, and held a commission in a Massachusetts regiment, known as thc Bay State Cadets, during the late war. His gen eral appearance is that of a gcutlcman The evening after their marriage Wood and Susan promenaded Day-street in company with another colored girl, and, on Monday morning, took their departuro for St. Helena Island, where Wood has a store on one of thc planta tions of his uncle, Mr. George Frost, a well known importer of silks iu Boston, Mass. Susau is a native of Beaufort, and was owned before and during thc war by a planter on thc coast. THE number of people who have lived upon thc earth since the creation has been estima I ed at about 27,000,000,000,000,000. This sum when divided by 27,801 00) thc numb-1 of squire miles, gives 1,811,522,080 to n square rod, and 5 to a square f >ot. Suppose a square rod capable of being divided into ll graves, each grave would contain 100 person ; so that thc whole earth has been one hundred times dug over to bury its inhabitants, sup posing they had been equally distributed.
