A WOMAN'S LETTEK.
My letter's late by one Jay.
Hut truth is, Jenny dear,
Ned Grayson came on Sunday?>
It seems he's always here,
lie, and young Fred McKeuzie,
They staid three blossed hours,
And ma was iu a frenzy?
lie brought some lovely tlowers.
I mean to tell you, Jenny,
The news and everything,
But I find there isn't any,
Oh, next week, Ned's te sing
With the Mozart Club at Irvin ;
I'll manage, dear, to go,
The Fates and weather serviug?
L don't want tna to knew !
Jen, lovers urc a nuisnnoc !

A solitaire, like Susan's ;

I cried and wouldn't wear it ;
How, underneath the sun,
Do girls contrive to bear it?
This narrowing down to one t
Poor George, the foolish fellow,
Began to storm and tliig,
And turned qnitc green and yellow?
I hate that sort of thing.
New, Ned is always quiet:
T think his cool, gray eye,
Would still an Irish riot,
Or- make a regiment tly,
But what's so very funny
About him?Ned 1 mean ?
lie hasn't any money ;
1 heard fiom Clarence Grocn
Just how he's situated?
Keeps hooks for Webb & Ware.
Ab, well?those things arc fated !
George owns a million, square.
Yes, dear, Fate trims the corners,
Hough-hew tlicm as we may !
We can't go clad like mourners,
Or weep the livelong day;
Hut, oil, don't hrcathe it, Jouny !
I'd marry Nod, you sue,
Without one single penny,
If only lie loved me !
Ah, well?well?well?that's folly,
But sometimes, Jen, I've thought,
llo, too, seemed melancholy ;
Quick glances that I've caught.
Looked full of speechless sadness :
There goes a silly tear,
To lilot the page -what madness !
Good-bye, pet, George is here.
We dine at Ella Johnson's.
P. S.?I must decide?
He wont stand too much nonsense?
The crepe ceines full yard wide.
Don't get tho bnif, it fades so ;
Have train and split-up sacipie.
Per organdies arc made so.
My heart aches. Love to Jack.

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

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

OUR PLANTER8.
Messus. 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. Their
1 dcterioaling farms, their empty garners.
' poor stock, and general in deb ten ess and
' | poverty prove it. The fanner who does not
j inijaove his land and have a surplus over
j all expenses every year is a dolt and a robi
ber,"&c. This is strong language, but ncrcr{
thelcss true. 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

dropping from the roosts by bens be
carefully saved in barrels, and every spring
and fall this manure be composted with any
good soil or muck from swamps, and so kept
a few months,-its value for any crop is equal
to i'eruvian guano, and it may, I think, be
estimated at fifty cents per fowl per annum.
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.

THE WILL OF THE PBOPHET. 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. He had determined to endow 1
one at Salt Like, hut did not live long '
enough to do so. A person present at the 1
reading of the will says it seemed to he 1

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.

SOUTHER^ HEBREW. H
A weekly journal, devoted s^Hvibt?0flw^0$Vjb*93
Judaism and Humanity, Art, Science, Literatim
and general Inroriuation. J&Q
The establishment of a Southern Jewish jqur- nal
in tho interest of Judaism and the disMM|^.?9
nation of its truths, would, we think, be no Su- sjtJ ^Jh
perfluous addition to the list of journal* of-liko
character issued at the North aud West. Rely^vi.
ing therefore ou the encouragement of eur co- .
leligionists in general aud on the support of our
Southern brethren aud friends in particular, we 1
hare decided to venture upon this New Southern
Knterpriae, and shall, about the first week in
September, present for the favorable consideration
of the public.
The Southern Hebrew,
combining all requisites necessary for carrying
ou nn instructive and interesting journal, it
shall be our aim to submit a paper, replete with .
all that is calculated to engross tho attention of '
those eager to welcome and entertain such a
visitor to the home circle. Under able management
in all departments, with the aid of minis-*
ters. teachers and the native talent of others in
this soclion of the couutry, we hope to maku
this journal n valuable ai^junct to the Synagogue*
and the religious school. A hearty "God speed"
has already been given us, and fresh impetus to
our energy, which is deeply gratifying to the
laborers in the vineyard.
The Hebrew will ba the organ of no special
claSS, nor will any particular shade of opinion
be advocated in its columns, *>ut shall cheerfully, i .
endorse the right and the truth whencesoever
they may emanate. In mattersof religiousopinv
ion, as well ns on any important subject, we shall
be Indejxndent in Everything?Neutral in Nothing.
This being the only Jewish journnl issued in
the South, Tiie II kiihew claims to possess superior
advantages 11s an advertising medium, with
rates equal to the lowest.
With your aid and encouragement, we trust to
be able to realize every reasonable expectation.
