A WOMAN'S LETTEK. My letter's late by one Jay.

Simpll Cciie pott Dyspepsia.?Milk and lime-water arc now frequently prescribed by physicians in cases of dyspepsia and weakness of the stomach, and in some cases are said to prove beneficial. Many persons who think good bread and milk a great luxury frequently hesitate to cat it for the rca eon tlint tliu milk will not ?lig?6t readily : sourness of the stomach will often follow. But experience proves that lime-water and milk are not only food and medicine at an early period of life, hut also at a later, when, as in the case of infants, the functions ol digestion and assimilation have been seriously impaired. A stomach taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper food, inflamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise unfitted for its duties?as is shown by the various symptoms attendant upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, dysentery and fever?will resume its work, and doit energetically, on an exclusive diet of bread and uiilk and lime-water. A goblet of cow's milk may have fonr tablcspoonsful of limewater added to it with good effect. The way to make lime-water is simply to procure a few lumps of unslaked lime, put the lime in a stone jar, add water until tluylimo is slaked and of about the consistency of thin cream ; the lime settles, leaving the pure and clear lime water at the top Great care should be taken not to get the liuic-watcr too strong. Keep to the direction as to the consistency, and when the water rises, pour it oft' without obtaining any of the lime.? The lime-water is also very good to apply to burns and scalds. In slaking the lime, particular care should bo taken that none of the particles fly into the eyes.?AW York South. Two Darino Leaps koii Like.?A correspondent at Davidson College writes us of an incident which occured two or three days ago near that village, and which reads something like the deeds of (kiring of the days of Ivanhoo, when men cared not to faco death itself to win the smiles of ''woman fair." A young gentleman, a son of one of our well known public men, was out horseback riding in company with a holy friend, when the horse ridden by the young lady became frightened and ran at full speed riown a long, steep hill. Uur hero niiioediately spurred after her. When the horse of the lady was about entering a thick wood, with the self-possession of a .Joan of Arc, she slipped her foot from the stiirup and threw herself from the Hying animal. Her gallant escort was immediately behind, and his horse coming suddenly upon the prostrated lady, sprang over her and dashed into the wood. His rider finding him unmanageable, and being solicitous for ths welfare of his companion, sprang from the horse while he was going at full speed, unmindful of the oonsequences of so dangerous a leap, and landed upon the ground unhurt. He then ran back and had the pleasure of finding the lady wreathed in her usual bright smile*. and unhurt.? Charlotte Observer.

Editors :?Iu my last I urged* that we should rear sheep and goats, as well its hogs and cattle, and why not breed our horses and mules ? Wo can do it cheaper than buying, if we would raise but half the cottou wo havo hitherto done, by sowing a clover patch, lucerne and millet, which grow well here. Lucerne is well adapted to out hot and dry summers, -and is vrty as well as uutritious. Clover is well known . to be the very best vegetable fertilizer iu colder latitudes than ours. The pea-vino is perhaps its equal and better adapted to our cliuiate. As we have found that we cauuot produce cotton hero under twelvo cents per pound, it costing that price to raise it, why not turn our attention to the cereals, grasses and to stock raising ? At least, all we require for use. I am confident froui an experience of forty-five years in plautiug and the rearing of stock, that we can produce our own provisions at a less cost thau buying fhciii. and live stock also. No one need fear that he can find a ready market at home for all the surplus grain, peas, potatoes and live stock that ho can produce and rear, and hay also, at remunerative prices, A more important item will he attained by this course in the improvement ol his lands. I will take the liberty of quoting a part of a letter frouVau esteemed friend and practical planter, living in Richland County, and who owns about a thousand acres of medium Cedar Creek land.? He is well known as a close calculator and economist, and successful stock raiser and farmer before our late war, and a member of the Legislature. Ho writes. Aug. 21st, as follows : "1 plant no cotton. 1 am now breaking up stubble land preparatory for small grain. That is the crop for me. I can make more money at it thau any thing else, besides the manifest improvement of my lands. All the lands 1 cultivate improve ten per cent, per annum. A mau who wears out his land is a poor farmer and a meaner sinner. He is a lbol too. That's my bank?my very capital. If 1 exhaust that 1 am wasting and waning, Hoside*;, 1 am bringing evil, hard times and poverty upon those who follow me. If I impinve my land. I increase my capital. Production will not wear out land. Had, foolish cultivation does that. I can make full erous every year, and th ; land improve too. I never pasture cultivated laud. JIc is a loot who will do that. It is ruinous. 1 will tell you what 1 regard the best rotation for crops oil hill laud that is liable to wash : 1st year, peas in horizontal rows ; 2nd, wheat; .'5d, oats; 1th, p :as again, stubble to be turned in August ; grain to be sowed and borrowed in well, with no other plowing.? No pasturing. That land will improve 10" percent, per annum. A still better course would be : Sow peaH broadcast, 2 bus. to acre 1st duly ; turn under 1st October, and sow oats with harrow. Repeat this course i every year, ad infinitum, and the laud will in, ! crease every year 2(1 per cent. The mass of j our people in farming are foolisTT, hopeless, | incorrigible and incurable idiots.

Rcas I have found to yield a j hall' crop or more sowu from 10th to 25th j.lune, and 1 would prefer that time, and I turn under 1st to 15th October. 1 have j never tried ha it twing small grain, but think it would answer well. It would seem, less than two bushels of peas would suffice for an acre of land. I sowed one to one and a half, and thought it thick enough.?sen ex in X< wherry Heraltl.

From fifty hens I saved about ten barrels of the pure hen guano during the year. What 1 save from November to April I compost in the spring with soil. First 1 spread in a circle soil to the depth of three or four inches. Then I spread hen manure about an inch deep ; then I spread another layer of soil, and then a layer of manure, till the heap is completed, using about four time the bulk of soil that I do of manure, the last layer being soil. The top of this compost heap I make (lat, to catch the rains ; then I cover it with any refuse bay or straw, tlmu place some sticks of wood or hoards against the covering to keep it in its place, and in two or three months it is ready to use, having become thoroughly incorporated with the soil; but, as the season for planting is then past mostly, 1 leave the heap till the next spring, when I use it with what I compost iu November. Perhaps it would bo better to make a compost in March, where the climate will admit, and use the manure for crops planted the last of May or early in June ; but 1 can discover no loss by keeping it till the next season. A gill of this compost iu a bill of corn will be equal in effect to a half-shovel of stable dung. Krighuin Young didn't, put on historic airs when it came to the '-last words."

V An Kstate Worth $2,000,000 Divided b Among Seventeen Wives and Forty/our w Children. c Salt Lake City, September 3.?Brighaui Young's will w;is read to day in tho presence of all his wiv;s and children aud u a few 'friends. Brighnui Young, Jr.. Hi^aQnoD a,u* Albert Carrington are 8 jjJBfctr as his executors. The estate is u ^largely real estate, and is probably worth a $2,060,000. Tho will was made four years b awp, and his youngest child, born of Mary v \^u Cott, was then three ycurs old. Brigluyn Youug was the father of fifty-six chil- u dren, 4ud left seventeen wives, sixteen sons u and twenty-eight daughters. The will aims r to make au equitable division of the prop- I erty butwccu all the wives and children, r with no preference to any. a Most all of them have already had some- ' thing deeded to them. On this a valuation 1 was set. and it is to be charged to the reein- a ionts as part of their share, though uot nee- 1 cssarily at the valuation he put ou it. That 4 is to be equitably adjusted, when the estate ' is divided, upou the youngest child couiing 1 of age. Meanwhile the income is to go to ' the various mothers according to the nutn- 8 her of their children, aud they can withhold f Lit if. tho children behave badly. All are provided for as far as their present needs ' arc concerned. Ilis first wife and Amelia 1 arc giveu a life interest in the Amelia Pal- s ace?a large, modern, new, fine, house ; but ' ho is known to have changed his mind about ' that, chiefly because they declimnl it for reasons best known to themselves, although 1 nothing in or out of the will has as yet come ' to light showing it, and they are not other- ' wise provided for except by their share of tho income. Deceased held many interests ' in trust for the church and for individuals. 1 His executors are directed to turn them ' over properly. The church is forbidden 1 by law to hold moicthan 850,000 worth of ' fropcrty; and no it was largely held by < Jrigham Young in trust His friends will not entertain the notion that he ever abused that trust. There is no inventory of the property on the estate, and it is widely scat- ( -Lorcd. With the country prosperous and ' full of money, it would be worth twice the ' above valuation. Decently Hrigham Young | 5 cudowed au academy with lauds at Prove and another at Logan?the latter with 12,000 acres.

A Snake Story.?At Cox & Brown's nil, some three miles from Beltou, a small uako, belonging to the tribo known to a reat mauy as the "king snake," has taken ip his abode regularly, and nioon^ the rats nu uiiuu no is n "reii aosiroyor. tiojias lecouic quite tame and gentle, and often, vheu the keeper of the mill takes a uoouiay nap, his snakoship will crawl around ud over him, and frequently lie quietly ipon his bosom. We have frequently heard, ather traditionally, that this species of ser>ent was harmless towards man but was a elentless enemy towards all other serpents, ud as substantiating this idea we will reate a further incidont couecruiug the snake indcr discussion, which comes to us through in authentic source. One day reeoutly a nedium-sized water moccasin was seen lying >n the sand below the mill, and ere long the cing snake was seen approaching him cauiously. He crossed the small stream which uus from the race below the wheel and very lowly nearcd the moccasin, all the while iwaying his head froui the right to the !?*t. L'his motion was more and more contracted .he nearer he approached, untilVhcn with11 a lew inches of his victim, he lay for some time perfectly uiotiouless. Then sud!cnly ho darted upon the moccasin, caught liim by the back of the neck, and proceeded .o coil himself around hiui. When ho had nado several coils lie freed his mouth hold jpon the moccasin's neck nud by making oops of his body and inserting his head .hrough tliem, he tied himself in two or hroe or four knots around his victim's body, which must have been very tight indeed, '"or when he had remained there some ten ninutcs he loosened himself and crawled riumphantly back to the miH, leaving the lead body of the moccasin upon the sand. ?Anderson Journal.
