There are a great many things you ought to do and still a greater number that you had better not do, Foremost and prominent among the latter is to undertake to reform a drunkard by marry ing him. Depend upon it, if you caunoi keep him sober during those days of tin average woman's strongest influence over wayward nu n, the season of courtship, tlu Unnnn. ..ill I... i...? ...OA,... VUUUViVn Hill UVJ U^illllOb OUVI'IMO. I.'WIIIV Vrouien have succeeded in this labor of love but there arc 10,000 failures to one success. It is a fiel 1 of missionary labor that few of the sex are fitted to enter. If John gets drunk once a month whilst ho is billing and cooing, depend upon it ho will require semi monthly seasons of Bacchanalian recreation when ho becomes a benedict. A man who gets drunk is necessarily a bad or foolish man when he is under the influence of liquor, and is very apt to soon become a bad man whether drunk or sober. The romantic idea that a woman who can reform a drunkard is deserving a crown of glory is all the veriest bosh. They would be shocked by the suggestion that a man who mariics a fallen woman and restores lier to a life of virtue would bo deserving the praise of all mankind. The 1 tter would be a much easier task than the former, and more likely to succeed. The debasement in one case is generally incurable, and scorns the influence of kindness and affection ; whilst in the other the opportunity to escape from a life of degradation would in most cases insure hearty co-operation with the Missionary in such a field. Hut the drunkard, as is generally the ease, may be addicted to a number of other vices, each one of which ought to be considered as repulsive as that of drinking. Still we find pure, virtuous, refined and delicate women risking their lives and happiness in the delusive hope of rescuing and restoring them. Instances of the terrible failures in this missionary field are to be found in every street and lane of a great city, with the accompaniment of scores of the desolate widows and orphans of those who have staggered into drunkard's graves Slill the experiment is tried by new votaries who think they can succeed where other! fail. It is a terrible delusion. Love ami devotion are powerless on a drunkard.? Nothing but an iron will and a limitless that lew women possess can chock the career of a uian who has once taken hold of strong drink, lie must become subject to her will, and be restrained from evil courses '*y a power stronger than love or kindness.? There are enough men who become drunkards a/fcr marriage for all reasonable pur poses of experiment, without taking tli-ni fully trained in a career of vice ami debauchery. Therefore we say, 4 *0 iris dou't do it!" ? - - - - - - -A Peculiar Suicide.? Dr. Martin who committed suicide in Candelaria recent ly, says, the the Tuscarora (Ncv.) Minim News, did so in a remarkable manner, li is said that he, with a number of others, wort enjoying themselves in a bibulous" way ai Jones's saloon. In the midst of their drun ken songs he suddenly grow grave and pos itivcly sober, lie drew the crowd around him and told theui how lie had fought against his iiiii|iieiichable thirst for litjuor, but all in vain. Me said that lie was certain that lie could become somebody if hi1 W 1111 111 lilt I k a f i# in J !? ? ....... .. ........ ..... .... , the hour of one o'clock I will leave this vain and sinful world. Hut. hoys, as a last favor, allow ino to do so hy music," The crowd, all of which were his friends, .-uni tnoncd up the Italian players, and to the music of the harp and the violin lie took n dose of morphine. Everybody regarded ii ns a hoax ; and thought the stuff he took was salts. After a while he dropped peace fully asleep in a chair. O.ie hy one tin crowd left the saloon, until none were lefi there except the sleeping Martin and .Jones Not wishing to arouse him from such :i seemingly peaceful sleep, Jones locked up the place and retired lor the night. I'pon opening the saloon in the morning Martin was found dead. Lkt it Ai.onk?"No, liijuor won't hurl you if you li t it alone," said one man, with a sneer, to another who was making a stronc fight to liavi it kept out of town by law? "You needn't meddle with it.

Talley, the pioneer of the watermelon industry in IjOWndes coun'y? I (?a : Mr. Talley is a strong advocate of the watermelon, and has experimented with it in more ways than one. He says that watermelons not only albed excellent pas^ turage for hogs, but that they are a good, preventive of cholera. He has never lost a hog from cholera since he has been planting melons. After all the marketable melons have been leathered he throws those that are lelt into heaps, taking pains to break every melon as lit. easts it into the ^ heap. In a few days they begin to sour and lenient, and the hogs prefer them in this state to any other, K.ich heap finally becomes a mass of sour mash, and the hog8 will continue to cat it as long as there is a piece of rind or a seed left. Melons thrown together in this way will furnish all the food , necessary for two months or more. In fict, the hogs will not leave them for anything else, and will fatten every day. Mr l'a I ley says that he is satisfied from experience that it would pay every farmer who raises hogs to plant a few acres in water melons for them every year. lie pastures his hogs 011 the remains of his melon crop through the months of August and September, and they get as fat as they can I it ir 1 a - - . . ...? run. lit? uoes nui aucLupi to account upon any known theory or scientific principle, for the fact that melons arc a proventrve ol cholera in hogs, bat he says that experience has satisfied him that the same is a (act. nevertheless. Atone time the hogs of a neighbor of his, separated from his own only by a cross fence, nearly all died with the cholera, while his never showed the slightest symptom of the disease. His hogs were pastured on i watermelons, while bis neighbor's were not. Finally he gave his neighbor the privilege of hauling as many melons as he wanted to , his hogs, and as soon at the melons were given liiem the deadly havoc of the cholera ceased. Mr. Tallev furnishes other instances whieli seem to clearly establish the fact 1 that the watermc.on is not only a good 1 fattcuiug food for hogs, but a sure preventive of cholera. . 1 Sl.MlM.E ilo.MK ItKMKDIKS?Nearly all 1 of the following remedies have been tried . and found efficacious, and we therefore couimcud them to the careful consideration of our numerous readers : Ivy INmsoxi.nw.?b'or dog.wood or ivy poisoning the following in said to bo an infallible remedy : Roil wood ashes enough to make a strong lye; wash the poisoned parts in (his, let it remain a few minutes and wash oil in soft, lukewarm water, when dry anoint with grease.

Gospel /limner. ? Timk to IN. ant Hottom Coun.?Strictly bottom land, with alluvial soil, and which dries of! l iter in the spring than adjacent uplands, should be planted in May. Knr? lier plantings are exceedingly apt to be destroyed by tbe bud worm. If planted when upland usually is, the corn might escape (he bud worm, but such land is ordinarily too cold cud wet at that period to admit of planting. We have planted that description of land fdir many years Irom the middle to the last of May witn'good results and great immuuity from bud worms. There is no successful preventive of bud worm, if the corn germinates about the time they begin their activity. This time varies with the spring ; if it is warm and early the worm appears earlier than when the spring is cold and wet, from the 10th of April to the 10th of May they commit greatest depredation on corn in thin latitude. Kerosene acts much like gas tar?do nut think it any better?gas tar has proved rather tiie best remedy with us. ? Southern Cultivator. ('l.oVKlt is not apt to give good cuttings more than two seasons. The plant usually becouies exhausted by that time and dies. Especially is this the case if it is allowed to mature a lull crop of seed, which it will be apt to do if the second crop is not mowed. It is good practice not to cut the second crop the year that one proposes to plow it under, because a large quantity of vegetable matter is thus added to the soil, and because if a full crop of clover seed is ploughed in the land may at any subsequent time be reset in clover, (without reseeding) simply by sowing it down in grain or grass. Hut if it is d"sired to perpetuate the clover mow it twice ;i year. riaster is hum to improve on, where it suits, but sometimes ashes make ;.n excellent dressing for clover.
