"WE'VE GOT A BABY."
The following letter, which bears internal
evidence of being & bona fide epistle, was
picked tip in one of our streets yesterday:
Utioa, May 12, 1859.
Brother and Sister Stebbios?We have
got a live baby at our house, a little girl baby?that's
so. How I wish this might find
yon in the same situation. Yon know I always
wiahedyou well. But our baby is none
of your common babies. She langhs (and
cries) so pretty, yon can have no idea how
alia io Tt: in dflf?ii1fld liv the best
uauuovuio ouo <0. *w
of judges (her mother and me) that she is
the handsomest child that ever lived; and
everybody says, 'what a pretty child, how
muoh she is like her father;'?children will
resemble their parents, yon know. I would
not take twenty dollars for it; no sir, no
temptation. Perhaps you think I'm a fool.
Who cares?guess you'd be a fool if you had
such a baby. I wish your domestic affairs
would come to a crisis, (cry-sis.) You must
excuse all mistakes, for I'm so delighted and
transported chat I expect there is a right
smart chance that I may go crazy.
Why you can't think how I acted the day
the little stranger came along. Mrs. Boardman
and I were the attending physicians,
and what she didn't know I didn't either.
Felt a little considerable scared, looked for
my hat two, three, several times, and wondered
how &r it was to Texas. But after
the excitement was over wasn't I tickled
some. If it hadn't been for that white hat
of mine I couldn't have told which end my
head was on. I went up stairs a dozen times
or less after my hat?went and looked at the
baby and forgot it every time. Sold a man
some goods on 'tick,' and charged him, 'to
one baby sixpence per pound.' But I'm
calmer now; think I shall entirely recover.
** 4 * -i t.l? ft nnnnintv
.Begin to tnina mac uauy amt su^u ?
affair after all. Its quite a night institution.
It takes one half of the bed, and right in
the middle, and I have to sleep all round on
the edges. Can't roll over and kick as I
used to?might wake up the baby. And if
I just happen to roll on the little thing in
the night, then there's a fuss, for my wife
would make a great ado if I should kill the
that baby. She sleeps with one eye open.
I'll tell you about how I get along nights.
The other night I went to bed as usual, got
into a snooze, when my wife called 'John !
John ! there's a mouse in my band-box, and
it will ruin my bonnet.' _ Well, I rolls off
the bed rail and made a wake for the bandbox.
Mouse takesthe hint and leaves, and
I balance myself on the bed rail again, go to
sleep, and dream of tbe old soDg which
says, 'bless me, this is pleasant riding on a
rail.' But soon I am awakened by my wife
(watchfnl creature) calling'John! I guess
chat mouse is in the lower bureau drawer
where all the baby things are.' So up I got
onoe more and made a plunge for the bureau,
and mouse leaves as usual, while I
like the old Quaker, wish for some profane
person to d?n that mouse. Well, I get
on the rail once more and dream of sending
an order to Chicacro for mouse traps. Well,
I dream away awile, till I am once more awakenedby
the old familiar call,'John!
John! the baby wants tending to.' Well,
I sit np and hold the light while she
well, no matter, you mean what I know.
The next morning I have to be careful
in using the towels, for 'all is not gold that
glitters/ But I must keep still and stand it
all for the dear little baby, mother's little
preoious lamb.
Good bye; yours as much as possible.
DIGHTON.
P. S. Our baby's name is Fanny Louisia.
N. B. Don't forget the baby's name. D.
Spectacle Story.?A good story is told
by a dealer who had advertised eye-glasses,
by the aid of which a person could read easily,
the finest print. A well-dressed Irishman
called at his counter one day to be fitted
to a pair of spectacles. As he had remarked
that he had never worn any, some
were handed to him that magnified a very
Kttle. He looked hard through them, upon
the book set before him, but declared he
could make out nothing. Another pair of
stronger power were then saddled upon his
nose, but unsuccessfully as before. Further
trials were made, until at length, the almost
disoouraged dealer passed to him a pair
which magnified more than all the rest in his
stock. The customer, quite as impatient as
the merchant, at having tried so many, and
glowered through them at the printed page
with all his might. 'Can you read that printing
now V enquired the dealer, pretty certain
that he had hit it right this time at any rate.
'Divil a bit,was the reply. 'Can you read
at all?' said the merchant, unable to conceal
hie vexation any longer. 'Read it all ?' cried
the customer. 'Tber's not a single word
among them that I can identify his fatures/
'I say can you read at all V exclaimed the
1 1 * A- A.1? J ?TAn !' ellAnto/1
dealer liDpaneuny. *uut wiu juu ouuu^u
the Irishman, throwing down the spectacles
in a hnff. 'If I could read, what would I be
after baying a pair of spectacles for? You
cheat the people wid the iday that your glasses
wud help 'em to read print easy, but it's
a big lie it is ! Ah ! you blackguard, you
thought I'd bug 'cm without thrying 'em!'
And he left the store, muttering 'humbug!'
Had a Call.?Our city was for some
years enlightened by the presence of a Rev.
dandy duck, who meant exceedingly well,
and did pretty well. A congregation in a
Western city learning of his fame, and having
no shepherd, invited this our Mr. X
to assume the vacant crook, deputing to carry
their offer, a much-respected deacon, commonly
called, in abbreviation of his first
name Epaphras, 'Uncle Emfus.' Uncle Em
rus came, told his errand, and caused a
church meeting to be held, that he might
lay the case of his own distant church before
it. The pathetic appeal with which he opened
his business was this :
'My brethren, I have come from a long
distance to lay before you the condition of our
church in the wilderness. We read in Holy
Writ that, upon a certain occasion, our Lord
directed two of his disciples to go into a certain
village, saying unto them, 'Straightway
yc shall find an ass tied; loose him, and
bring him unto me.' My brethren, among
you we have found the ass tied. Permit me
to loose him, and lead him away. And if
you ask, as of old, why I do it, in like manner
I answer, the Lord hath need of him.'
They let Uncle Emfus untie the ass, and
lead him away.
M6P* The railroad between Kingston and
Rome, in Georgia, if it is not a one-horse
concern, is a mighty slow team. A friend of
ours rejoicing in the name of Tick?a telegraph
man, too?was riding upon the lightning
train on this road, when he spied a
negro toddling along with a pack on his
back. In the exuberant generosity of his nature,
Tick screamed out: 'Halloa, uncle!
come aboard?come aboard, and ride to
town!' The polite and glistening African
touched his beaver and replied: Beg pardon,
massa, but I can't; mus' git dar soon,
and habn't got de time to spar !' When he
met Tick in Rome a short time afterwards
he expatiated warmly upon the merits of
the safe road. Said he; 'It is the cheapest
road in the the United States?you can ride
on it all day for a dollar /'
Warning to Serenaders.?A young
gentleman of a musical turn of mind one
night serenaded his Dulcinea, aided and a|
betted therein by a party of deluded friends.
Next day he visited the serenaded fair one.
'Her eyes,' he says, 'betrayed the fact that
she had passed a sleepless night, and with a
palpitating heart, we tendered our hypocritical
sympathy.' Oh, Mr. yawned the
lady 'there was such a noise in the street last
night! Some policemen were taking an intoxicated
colored man to the station house,
and he screamed and swore so dreadfully,
just as they came in front of our door, that
the whole neighborhood was aroused. The
policemen seemed to expostulate with him
in vain, and it must have been an hour before
they could get him away!' Just then
the gent rememberd that he had a sick
friend near by, and went to see him at once.
Pretty Hard Ice.?Deacon Johnson is
a great temperance man, and sets a good example
of total abstinence as far as he is seen.
Not long since he employed a carpenter to
make some alterations in his parlor, and repairing
the corner near the fire-place it was
found necessary to remove the wainscoting,
when lo! a discovery was made that astonished
everybody. A brace of decanters, a
tumbler, and a pitcher, were cozily reposing
j there as if they had stood there from the bej
ginning. The Deacon was summond, as he
beheld the blushing bottles he exclaimed,?
'Wa'll, I declare, that is curious, sure enough.
It must be that old Bains left them
when he went out of this house thirty years
ago.'
'Perhaps he did,' returned the carpenter,
'but. deacon, the ice in the pitcher must
have been froze mighty hard to stay all this
time.'
S&* A jolly fellow had an office next to
a doctor's. One day an elderly gentleman
of the old fogy school blundered into the
wrong shop.
<Dr. X in ?'
'Don't live here,' says P, who was in full
scribble over some important papers, without
looking up.
'Oh ! thought this was his office.'
'Next door.'
'Pray, sir, can you tell me has the doctor
many patients ?'
'Not living.'
The old gentleman was never heard of in
the vicinity again, but the story was, that
Dr. H. threatened to sue P for libel. However,
he came to think better of it.
Saving Time.?A clergyman, who enjoys
the substantial benefits of a fine farm,'
was slightly taken down, a few days ago, by
his Irish plowman, who was sitting at his
plow, in a tobacco field, resting his horse.?
The reverend gentleman, being a great economist,
said with great seriousness?'John,
wouldn't it be a good plan for you to have a
stub scythe here and be hubbing a few bushes
along the fence while the horse is resting?'
John, with quite as serious a countenance as
the divine wore himself, replied : 'Would
not it be well, sir, for you to have a tub
o' potatoes in the pulpit, and when they are
singing, to peel 'em awhile to be ready for
the pot?' The reverend gentlemen laughed
heartily and left.
B@F Some years since there was a great
gathering of people at Augusta, Maine, to
take into consideration the subject of building
a dam across the Kennebec river, at that
point. The meeting was followed by a big
dinner at the Mansion House, and the liquor
law being then a thing not thought of, the
bottle circulated freely, when Frank A. was
called on for a toast. Frank immediately
staggered to his feet, and grasping the back
of bis chair with one hand, and holding aloft
with the other a tumbler of 'Old Jamaica,'
responded somewhat emphatically?'Gentlemen,
dam the Kennebec! and improve its
navigation,' and set down amid a roar of applause.
The dam was built.
A Boy's Definition of the Ohio.?A
correspondent writes us as follows :
<1 heard the other day a clergyman telling
of his experience as a school teacher, in Cincinnati,
some years ago. He gave to a school
of small boys, as a subject for composition.
'The Ohio River,' and one little fellow
brought in the following: 'He was born at
the creation. His father is the Alleghany,
and his mother is the Monongahela. He is
bigger than both his parents. It is not
known when he will die.'
S&" 'What did you give that blood-mare
of yours, the other day, when she had the
bots?' asked a Wall-st. broker, of a friend
Tniir. Tolon/I {A ninf. nf anirits r>f tnr.
111/1X4 JLJl/U? iOluuu. j/.-w w w ??
pentine.' 'Good morning'?'morning;' and
they separated. Two days after, the same
parties met on the street. 'Say, look o'here,
I give my mare a pint of turpentine, and,
by Jove, it killed her.' 'So it did mine,'
was the reply. 'Good morning'?'morning.'
Losing a Day.?'I say, Pete, in gwine
round de world, trablers tell us dey lose one
whole day.'
Dat am nuffin, Sam, when you can make
em up again.'
'How you gwine to make em up agin?
tell me dat ?'
'Why turn round and go back agin, nigj
ger-'
fiST"'Why do you always walk with a stick ?'
said Smith to Robinson, on meeting him in
the streets; 'except the infirm, I regard those
who use walking sticks as idlers, with nothing
to do.' 'Qaite the reverse,' replied Robinson
; 'I look upon tbem as active and industrious
persons, who always have something
in hand.'
'Joe, why were you out so late last night ?'
'It wasn't so very late?only a quarter of
12.'
'How dare you sit there and tell me that
lie? I was awake when you came in, and
looked at my watch?it was 3 o'clock.'
'Well, isn't 3 a quarter of 12 ?'

WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD
FARMER ?
If the Disposer of human events should
permit this world to stand a thousand years
longer, the time will surely come when every
man who tills the earth will be compelled to
be a good farmer or starve to death. This
is a strong expression, but as true as it is
strong. Old fogyism may continue to denounce
those who labor to improve the agri
culture of the South ; but the time will come
when their posterity will see their stupid folly,
and be forced to improve tho soil which
their ancestors butchered. The day has already
come with England, France, Germany
and Ireland, where agriculturists are compelled
from true necessity to study their profession,
and improve their systems of farming
economy, to an extent limited only by
their power to do bo. If they were to pursue
the course that planters of the South are
now pursuing, in less than twenty years, they
would either starve to death, or be forced to
leave "their own, their native land."
Eut the question arises, what is "a good
farmer?" There is much diversity of opinion
on this question. Sometimes the men
who run over the moBt land per hand, and
drag out of the soil the most money, regardless
of the wear and tear of land, and team
and force, are called good farmers, yea, the
best farmers. But that is not true! I admit
it not. To do so would be equivalent to admitting
that the doctor who made the most
money, regardless of the lives he destroyed,
was the best doctor. The one would be about
as true as the other?both are utterly
false.
A "good farmer," according to the best
and most intelligent agriculturist of the
South, is the man who improve* his land, and
the appearance of his place, improves his
stock and takes care of his force. And I
think this definition of the term is correct.
No man, however intelligent on other subjects,
no matter how much money he may
be making for the time-being, should be conai^ororl
a ((crnnd farmer." in the strictest
sense of that term, who grossly neglects the
improvement of his soil and force and stock.
No man who cultivates the hills and permits
his fields to wash into yawning gullies, and
turns them out for his children to reclaim,
at the cost of much labor and expense, or
leave their old homes, or starve, is to any
extent, whatever, a good farmer. No man
who denounces agricultural improvement,
and agricultural journals, totes corn in one
end of his sack, and a rock in the other end
to balance it because his "daddy" done it
can possibly be a "good farmer."
Potatoes?New and Old.?Our friend
and neighbor, J. A. A., favors us this week
with samples of his sweet potatoes, of the
old crop and the new crop. The latter are
finer than any we have yet seen. It is curious
to know too how they were raised?
planted in raw piney woods new ground that
I* a *3 n wlnttt in if fTin Ko/lo nrv
DCvci liau a pun iu iv j vtiv v&ua iuhuv up
with the hoe, the 'draws' set in thera, and
nothing more done to the patch except once
cutting the bushes?an experiment worthy
of every farmer's attention.
The old potatoes are as sound as silver
dollars. The plan of saving them is one
which has enabled our friend to have potatoes
on his table from one years end to another.
We give it for the general benefit:
Edgefield Advertiser.
J. A. A's Plan of Sa ving Sweet Potatoes.
?"Always dig before frost and when the
ground is very dry; have your beds ready
by raising them about ten inches above the
ground, then put on dry straw about one
foot deep, then put on the potatoes, about
twenty five bushels in a bank, next put straw
one foot deep on them, then dirt at least
one foot thick well packed. Shelter them
with a good shelter to keep them dry. Leave
no air hole, but rather try to exclude the
air entirely. Patatoes thus put up are not
effected by the changes of the weather, which
generally rot the potato. If dug when the
ground is wet they are almost certain to rot."
Insects on Stock?A Remedy for ?
Dr. Cloud?Dear Sir:?I see in the June
number of the Cotton Planter that Mr. J.
A. W. P. wants some of your many readers
to inform him what will kill lice on hogs,
and if the same remedy will do to apply to
cattle. I gave my remedy a fair and impartial
trial this spring and applied the same
remedy to hogs, horses, mules, and cattle.
To hogs (all sizes and ages) give one teaspoonful
of coperas and two of sulphur, well pulverized.
sav to one hundred head: I nnt
this into a half bushel of coarse meal, and
make a little wet salt and stir all until mixed
and give it so that all will get some, and
give this twice a week?for three weeks if
very lousy. I give the same quanity to horses,
mules and cattle?one teaspoonful of sulpher
in meal wet and salt, as I do for hogs.
The lice killed a great many of my hogs cbis
spring, and were so bad that they eat all the
hair off of some, but now I have not got a
louse among my hogs or cattle, and they are
all getting fat. If you think this worthy of
notice you can give it to your maDy readers.
Respectfully, W. C.
Louisiana, 1859.
Pigs and Pig Troughs.?W. J. Pettee
says, in the Boston Cultivator : ?If pigs are
troublesome, by getting into the trough,
and thus rendering their food unpalatable,
a remedy is found in nailing slats an inch
wide across the trough, leaving a space of
from four to six inches, according to the
size of the animal. This will be found to
have the desired effect, and also will do away
with the crowding and fighting so common
among pigs when eating.'
Cucumbers, to Pickle.?Put the cucumbers
into salt and water, for three days,
then scald them with weak vinegar, and let
them remain three days longer. Scald some
strong pickling vinegar, with a few onions,
black pepper, allspice, cloves, ginger-root,
and horse-radish ; pour the whole over the
cucumbers, and keep them in jars for use.
Gerlcins, which are small cucumbers, are
pickled in the same way.
For Sore Throat.?Take one gill of
warm water, and the same of sweet milk,
mix together, and sweeten very sweet with
crushed sugar. Gargle the throat often, and
and a speedy cure follows.
Blacking for Harness.?Take three
sticks of the best black sealing wax, dissolve
in half pint of spirits of wine; to be kept in
a glass bottle, and well shaken previous to
use. Applied with a soft brush.

The reason why, is that by Nature's own process it restores
the natural color permanently after the hair becomes gray ;
supplies the natural fluids, and thus makes it grow on bald
beads, removes all dandruff, itching, and heat from the scalp,
quiets and tones up the nerves, and thus cures all nervous
beadache, and may be relied upon to euro all diseases of the
scalp and hair; it will atop and keep it from falling off; makes
It soft, glossy, healthy and beautifnl, and if used by the young
two or three times a week, it will never fall or become gray;
then reader, read the following and Judge for yonrMlTM
New York, Jan. 0,18301 !
Messrs. 0. J. Wool) & Co.?Gentlemen: Having heard
a good deal about Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, and
my hair being quite gray, 1 made up my mind to lay aside
the prejudices which I, in common with a great many persons,
had against all manner of patent medicines, and a
short time ago 1 commenced using your article, to test it for
myself
The result has been so very satisfactory that I am very
glad I did 40, and In justice to yon, as well as for the encouragement
of others who may be as grey as 1 was bat
who having my prejudice without my reasons fof setting It
aside, are unwilling to give-your Restorative a trial untU
tbey have further proof, and the best proof being occalar
demonstration, I write yon this letter, which you may show
to any such, and also direct them to me for further proof,
who am in and out of the N. Y. Wire Railing Establishment
everyday.
My hair Is now itsnatnral color and much improved b
appearance every way, being glotaler and thicker and mneh
more healthy looking. I am, Yoars Respectfully,
HENRY JENKINS.

Prof. Wood?Dear Sir: Your Hair Restorative has
done much good In this part of the country. My hair has
been slightly diminishing for several years, caused, I suppose,
from a slight burn when I was quite an infant I have
been using yonr Hair Restorative for six weeks and I find
that I have a fine head of hair now growing, after having
used all other remedies known, to no effect. I think It the
most valuable remedy now extant, and advise aU who are
afflicted that way to use your remedy.
You can publish this if you think proper. Yonrs, Ac.,

prof. wood?Dear Sir: Your Hair Restorative is proving
itself beneficial to me.. .The front and also the back
part of my head almost lost Hs covering?was In fact bald.
I bave used but two half pint bottles of your Restorative,
and now the top of my bead Is well sttraded with a promising
crop of yonng hair, and the front Is also receiving Its
benefit. I bave tried other preparations without any benefit
whatever. I think from my own personal recommendation,
I can Induce many others to try It. Yours, respectfully,
