"HAWK, YOU MAY GO NOW!"
Mr. Editor: There is in our district a
certain notable swamp, at the head of which
lived old Squire . He was about four
feet four in height, and so bald that flies
could 'not light on his cranium: carrying a
hankerchief in his hat, had so worn off" the
hair that a few long grey straggling locks
alone, denoted that he had ever been blessed
with such an apendage. In short, "He
had no hair on the top of his head." The
glitter of the sun upon it, so dazzled the eye
that it resembled the polished crest of a helmet.
So much for the Squire. He was not
afraid of auy thing. We shall see.
One afternoon he ordered a couple of his
boys to go to the thicket, at the head of the
swamp, and rake straw. One of these was
a "runaway" rascal, who, on one occasion,
when caught, gave his name as Gen. Hawkins,
and was commonly called "Hawk."
Towards sunset a brace of mischievous
youngsters went into the swamp to prepare,
privately, a "Dumb Bull;*but, while fixing

his companion, who immediately ran towards
the house, shouting?
"Massa! massa!!"
"By blood," said the Squire, "what's the
matter now ?"
"Oh, massa ! de Ellewan is in de swamp."
"I'll be dad blamed if he is any such
thing, go back to your work you lazy villians."
But go they would not, even for whipping,
so the Squire had to go in company,
swearing his favorite oath, "By blood, I'm
not afraid."
The young men had seen the flight and
return, but kept still until the Squire had
abused Hawk for being a coward and put
them to raking again, swearing they had
heard nothing, when the string was gently
pulled.
"Hear dat massa ?"
"No, I didn't hear anything much," but
the old fellow pricked up his ears. Another
pull.
"Hear dat ?"
"Yes! what is it?"
"It's dat varmint in de swamp."
A stronger pull.
"Hear dat, massa ! can't I go?"
"N-o, not yet!" but the old chap stepped
about and showed uneasy symptoms. Another
vigorous pull and the Squire shouted
out, "H-a-wk, you may go now!" he leading
the way to the house, at two-forty speed,
singing out, "Open the gate, by blood,
h?IPs in the thicket!"

BEADING A LOVE LETTER.
Ad amusing instance of Hibernian simplicity
is afforded by the following little story;
told us by a friend, in whose words we give
it.
Molly, our house maid, is a model one,
who handles a broom like a sceptre, aud
who has au abhorence for dirt, and a sympathy
for soapsuds, that amount to a passion.
She is a bustling, busy, rosy cheeked, brighteyed,
blundering Hibernian, who hovers about
our book shelves, making war upon out
papers, and goes about thirsting for new
worlds to conquor, in the shape of undusted
and unrighted corners.
One day she entered our library in a con
fused and uncertain manner, quite different
from her usual bustling way. She stood a!
the door with a letter between her thunil
and finger, which she held at arm's leDgtli
as if she had a gun-powder plot in her grasp
In answer to our inquiry as to her business,
she answered: "An' may it please yer hon
or, I'm a poor girl, and han't much larnin',
and ye sees, plase yer honor, Paddy 0 Keil
ly, and the better than him doseu't brathe

"We guessed at her embarrassment and of
fered to relieve it by reading the letter.?
Still she hesitated, while she twisted a bit o:
raw cotton in her fingers.
"Shure," she resumed, "an' that's jis
what I want, but it isn't a gentleman likt
yerself that would be knowing the sacret:
between us, and so," here she twisted th<
cotton quite nervously, "if it'll only plase ye;

A FIGHTING TUHK.
? Pierce Pungent," in the New Yorl
News, tells the following good story :
"During the operations of the allies in th<
Crimea it was resolved to carry the water ii
from a beautiful spring of the finest Crotoi
to the camp. Leather pipes, or hose, wer<
employed, which were laid on the ground
One morning while the water was being sup
plied, the minaret sounded to prayer, anc
one of the Turkish soldiers immediately wen
flop on his knees to praise Allah? Unfortu
nately he went down right upon the hose
and his weight consequently stopped thi
current of that 'first of elements,' as Pinda
calls water in his first Olympiad.
"Get up," cried an English soldier. <Vou
ley vous avez, la boote, mon cher Monsieu
le Turque," cried a Frenchman with his na
tive politeness, " togit up."
"That ain'tthe way to make a Turk move,'
cried another, "this is the dodge." So saving
he knocked his turban off. Still th.
pious Musselman went on withhisdevotious
"I'll make him stir his stumps,'- said a
nother Englishman, giving him a remarkable
smart kick. To the wonder of all, stil
the unturbaned, well-kicked follower of th
Prophet went praying on as though he wa
a forty-horse parson. "Hoot awa, mon?I'l
shew ye how we serve obstinate folk at auli
Reekie," quietly observed a Scotchmanhe
was, however, prevented, for the Turl
having finished his Allah-vis en allah,'
rose and began to take off his coat?then t
roll up his sleeves, and then to bedew hi
palms with saliva, and then to put himsel
into the most approved boxing attitude, a 1;
Yankee Sullivan.
He then advanced in true Tom Hyerstyli
to the Englishman, who bad kicked him 01
the lumber region. "A ring! a riog 1'
shouted the soldiers and sailors, perfect];
astonished to see a Turk such an adept in
the fistic art.
The Englishman nothing lothe to have a
' bit of fun with a Turk of such a truly John
Bull state of mind, set to work, but found
he had met his master?in five minutes he
had received his quantum suff. As the
Turk cooly replaced his coat and turban?he
turned round and said to the admiring bystanders,
in the pure brogue?"Bad luck to
ye, ye spalpeens; when yere afther kicking a
Turk, I'd advise ye the next time to jist be
sure he's not an Irishman"
The mystery was solved?our Turk was a
Tiperary man!
Tiir Way a Yankee Made A Dozen
Chickens.?One of those peculiarly slab
sided, gaunt lanKees, wnicu IUC yil/uuv
soil down East produces in abundance, lately
emigrated and settled down in the vicinity
of Chestnut Hill. He was the very picture
of a mean, shifty Yankee, but as he put
! himself to work in good earnest to get his
house to rights, the neighbors willingly lent
him a helping hand. After he got everything
fixed according to his notions, a
thought struck him that he had no chickens,
and he was powerful fond of sucking
raw eggs. He was too honest to steal theui,
and too mean to buy them. At last a thought
struck him?he could borrow. He went to
a neighbor, and accosted him:
"Wal, I reckon you haint got no old hen
nor nothin' you would lend me for a few
weeks?"
" I will lend you one with pleasure," replied
his neighbor, picking out one of the
finest in his coops. The Yankee took the
hen home, and then went to another neighbor
and borrowed a dozen eggs. He set
Kon An the errsrs. and in due course of
V..V -v-- w- OO '
time she hatched out a dozen of chickens.?
The Yankee was again puzzled?he could
return the hen, but how was he to return the
eggs ? Another idea?and who ever saw a
OO
Yankee without one??came to his relief:
he would keep the ben until she laid a dozen
eggs. He then returned the hen aud the
eggs to thei; respective owners, remarking,
as he did so :
"Wal, I guess I've got as fine a dozen of
chickens as you ever laid your eyes on, and
they didn't cost me a cent nuther."
A Duel Settled by Cash.?A Frenchman
was to fight a duel with an American ;
the conditions were that but one shot should
be exchanged, and that the preference should
go by lot. The Frenchman got the first
chance, but failed to hit bis adversary. As
the Yankee lifted his weapon the other called
out?
"Hold, I will buy your shot!"
All were astonished at this, but his opponent
answered :
I "What will you give !"
i "Five hundred pounds ?"
1 "Nonsense!" cried the Yankee, taking
; aim again, "[am a good marksman ; you
set too low a value on yourself!"
"You estimate me at too high a price;
but I will give you a thousand pounds."
"Agreed," cried the Yankee, and the du
! el was at end.
A Texas Woman on Know Nothings
i ?Some gentlemen traveling in a stage1
coach near Austin, Texas, had for a fellow
passenger a talkative lady, who soon inform
ed them that she was on a visit to one of her
neighbors to congratulate him upon having
recently used up a Know Nothing in a pub
lie debate. .Seeing a chance for fun, one oi
r the gentlemen at once begged permission tc
I introduce the other as Lieut. Toy, a leading
spirit of a Nnow Knothing Lodge down the
country. 'A Know Nothing is he?' ques

POTATOES, CLEARING LAND
AND OLD ORCHARDS.
Dr. Cloud?Dear Sir: Desiring to dc
useful as well as benefitted, I will give my
views in answer to your correspondent, "A.
H." Lime, after long exposure to the atmosphere,
or Plaster is a good application to
the potatoe vines, for though it will not kill
the bugs, it prevents, in a great measure,
their ravages and adds very much to the
crop.
I have had but little experience in clearing
lands, but should select the season when
the greatest amount of vegetable matter
could be retained on, and incorporated with
the soil.
When old orchards of peach or apple trees
become exhausted, it is a good plan to sow
small grain and pasturing to stock, not feeding
too bare before again plowing aud sowing,
continuiug the practice until the desired
effect is produced ou the trees?this is the
course of reasoning?the green pasturage derives
by far its largest amount of nutriment j
from the atmosphere, aud when plowed uu- |
. der, together with the droppings of the ani- J
rnals, returns more to the soil than is taken
from it; if on the contrary the gain is suffered
to ripen and taken off, the soil is minus
just so much as was needed to perfect the
grain, and there may not be enough of the
same essential material remaining in the soil
for the trees to fully mature their fruit?a
crop of grain can be taken off advantageous,
ly to the trees, only when there is too vigorous
a growth. Where the object however
is the best possible crop of fruit, the ground
should be cultivated for that purpose alone.
It is generally admitted now that trees with
low heads are best for this climate, and in
practice, where a regular system of pruning
is acted upon, they do unquestionably pror
duce the finest fruit, are longer lived, can
| be planted nearer together, not so apt to be
injured by storm, and their appearance so
, fioe, that the verriest utilitarian would Hesitate
to turn his cattle into them.
Throughout the South there are immense
numbers of peaches annually fruited from
seed, and among them doubtless, many very
fine varieties that seldom get known be.
yond the localities where they were raised;
r it is very desirable that they pass through
. the hands of the Pomological Society. I
< would be happy to assist in this matter,
r Respectfully, Geo. Kidd.
t The Horse Charm ; or tiik Secret
> for Tamino Horses.?For the oil of Cum;
min, the horse has an instinctive passion?
! both arc natives of Arabia, and when the
horse scents the odor, he is instinctively
[ drawn towards it.
' The oil of Rhodium possesses peculiar
, properties. All animals seem to cherish a
5 fondness for it, and it exercises a kind of
subduing influence over them.
The direction given for taming horses is
" as follows:
5 Procure some horse castor, and grate it
* fine; also get some oil of Rhodium and oil of
1 Commin, and keep the three separate in air
f tight bottles.
' Rub a little oil of Commin upon your
" hands, and approach the horse in the field,
J on the windward side, so that he can smell
; the Cummin. The horse will let you come
5 up to him without any trouble.
> Immediately rub your hand gently on the
> horse's nose, getting a little of the oil on it.
} You can then lead him anywhere. Give him
5 a little of the caster on a piece of loaf sugar,
apple or potatoe.
Put eight drops of oil of Rhodium into a
1 ladies' silver thimble. Take the thimble
'bo 'liiinih nnd middlo fincror of vour
uginvwu v??v D~- ? j
1 right hand, with the fore-finger stopping the
1 uiouth of the thimble, to prevent the oil
1 from running out whilst you are opening the
r mouth of the horse.
' As soon as you have opened the horse's
mouth, tip the thimble over on his tongue,
' and he is your servant. He will follow you
3 like a pet dog.
He is now your servant and friend. You
can teach him anything, only be kind to him,
be gentle. Love him and he will love you.
? When to Fatten Swine.?Most farmers
delay this business quite too long. It is
' a well-ascertained fact that fat and flesh are
1 laid on much more easily iu warm than in
> cold weather. No food is wasted now, in
1 keeping up the heat of the animal system.
^ The porkers should not be allowed lo run in
3 the road or the pasture after the heats of
Summer are past. If in lean condition they
j maybe penned by the middle of September
^ and put upon full feed. We believe four
pounds of pork can be made now cheaper
than three pounds can be made next November
and December. Not only is the weather
r greatly in favor of the farmer, but he has now
3 on hand a multitude of perishable articles,
3 in the field and garden, that can readily be
6 turned into excellent bacon. There is the
refuse sweet corn, which swine will eat greedily,
leaf, stalk and car. There are the beets
and the cabbage leaves, the unused summer
squashes and tomatoes, that will rot unless
' < ' . L rpi
e J transferred to tne iecaiug iruugu. xucac
I fresh articles mixed with the corn meal diet,
! promote the thrift of the animals and keep
v I up good digestion. In the winter this kind
of diet is scarce, and the uniform meal and
'; corn soon sates their appetites and they do
: not gain as much in flesh.
r : When the process of fattening is begun,
} the pigs should have all the food they will
e eat up clean, until they are ready for the
i. knife. A squealing pig is a cry that should
t never be heard about the farmer's premises.
0 It will not pay.
Keep out of a hasty man's way for a
e while; out of a sullen man's all the days of
your life.

WHISKEY AT PUBLIC PLACES. .
If there be any one who is not fully satisfied
that it is wrong for whiskey to be sold
at public gatherings, let him observe the
conduct of his fellow-beings at a place where
it is sold, and then, while the scenes he has
witnessed are fresh in his memory, go to a
place where none is to be had, and carefully
note the difference. Quite recently we had
an oppportunity of making an observation of
this kind ; and as the privilege of observing
the actions of men at the public hustings
where no liquor is to be had is seldom enjoyed,
we think it worthy of note.
A 'tax-gathering' was the occasion in both
instances?the popular excitement in regard
to elections was about the same in both in-i
iU ? mnwl ntiorflntor nf tllO two com
siance.>?mc iuw?i vu<..??.?
munities was about the same?at one there
was no liquor on the ground and at the other
there was an abundance.
Now note the results : at the former the
people transacted their business and at an
early hour in the day, dispersed to their
homes. There was no noise?no loud talking?no
cursing?no broils; while at the
latter; there were all these exhibitions and
many others of a similar character calculated
to wound the feelings of every man possessed
of a refined sense of moral appreciation.
And such is always the case wherever intoxicating
liquors are sold or giveu away at a
public gathering of the people. The habit
of association and intimation are such that
men will do as other men do?one drinks
because another drinks and because somebody
gives the social invitation. It always
has been the case and will until proper disapprobation
frowns it down.
Iu consequence of the presence of iutoxicating
liquors at such places, our tax-gatherings
and elections have become little else
than annual exhibitions of drunkenness and
fights, so much so that a large, very large
proportion of all such cases are traced to such
places and such causes, until the sublime
dignity of the common Law has been so sorely
vexed that it is a thousand wonders that
it has not Ion? since declared that such a
-- ? 0
mischievous cause of trouble should cease to
exist.
When will the good time come when we
shall see the various public gatherings convened
and adjourned without the presence of
villianous whiskey ? Would that some good
Prophet, faichful as Daniel, would arise and
predict its speedy coniiDg. We fear that
time is yet far off; whiskey has a hold on the
affections of the people stronger than the love
of a brother and its company will not be relinquished
'without a struggle.' Yet there
j are hundreds of citizens, having no sympaJ
thy in common for the temperance reform,
who would gladly hail the ushering in of the
era when the sale of liquor at public assemblies
shall be interdicted. They have witnessed
the ruinous, debasing system until
they have become thoroughly disgusted with
j it, and would gladly embrace an opportunity
of recording their disapprobation of the custom.
A reform is loudly called for upon this
matter. In view of the enlightened policy
of the day, it is a little strange that this vestige
of barbarism should yet be tolerated in
our midst. Thousands, thousands are heartily
ashamed of it and would rejoice at its
removal. How shall it bo effected? Simply
in the same manner that you obtain other
favors fram the Wands of your Legislature.
Talk about?speak about it?write about it.
All great measures, manifestly popular with
the people, always find the warmest friends
among the great body of Lowgirers.
RUINOUS DRINKS.
The subject of adulterated liqur seems to
be commanding universal attention. The
topers themselves begin to evince some fears
that there may possibly be mingled with
their daily draughts jucies of 'the insane that
maketh the reason prisoner.'
The crimes of the spirit manufacturer were
deep and dark enough in all truth, while he
pursued a seemingly honest course in the
preparation of his beverages; but he who
avails himself of the chemical knowledge recently
imported by a French chemist, whereby
the most common grades of spirit is counterfeited,
and made to imitate the most costly
brands, by the use of such poisons as oil
of juniper, caustic, potash, nitric and sulphuric
acids, strychnine, coculus indicus, copperas,
oil of cognac and other drugs of equal
i virulence and violence, is actuated by the
same spirit that nerves the assassin's arm to
take the life of a fellow-being for the sake
of coming into possession of his money. This
may seem to some too bold and unqualified
an assertion; but if the question is nicely
examined and man's moral responsibility towards
his fellow-man properly investigated,
a verdict of yuilty would be universally rendered.
S&" There is no telling what one drinks
| when he thinks he is drinkiug wine of the
| best quality. As an instance some spurious
i wines of Oporto were recently seized by the
! Portuguese Oovernineut, which were made
j of molasses, alcohol and some colored substance.
Thousands of pipes of this mixture
have heretofore been sent to England, to
the continent and elsewhere. Some wine
lately confiscated in Paris was made of water,
| alum and elder berries.
So says an exchange; and it is incontesti|
bly proven, that more subtle and deadly poii
sons are the chief ingredients of the bran;
dies, whiskey, <fcc., manufactured now-a-days.
i While we were in Asheville, a few weeks
, since, a man partook of a single drink of
j whiskey at a liquor bole. In some five minI
utes he was prostrated and would have died
i in a few moments, had not a physician succeeded
in extracting the stuff from his stom'
?' kuf fVip DrtoMr r?rn.
| UUI1. I' c uuui-i.-nauu i/u?v ??nounced
it a clear case of strichnine poison.
There are hundreds of such cases occuring,
but the warning is little heeded It seems
that men will drink, although they know
j that poison and the devil are both in the cup.
Spirit of tl\p Apr.
Those who adulterate, know that the in|
gredients they use will act as a poison upon
i the system of every person so unfortunate as
i to drink of their beverages. Can a man
j be innocent, who for the sake of a wicked
gain, mixes a deadly poison with something
intended for the public to drink ??
j Would he be held blameless if he mixed a
I poison with the meat on the market sham
blcs ? Would the farmer be suffered to go
unscathed by the vengeance of the law if he
mixed some poisonous ingredient with his
flour whereby the quantity might be incrcasi
ed. Not at all: suoh men would be hunted
down, and the vengeance of an outraged populace
reeked upon their unfortunate persons.
Is the vocation of the manufacturer of adulterated,
poisonous liquors more sacred than
that of the producer of flour.?Spirit of the
