There is a certain little but very important village up in the mountains of Virginia, which was once encumbered with a "Board , of School Commissioners," or rather, a com- , mittee for the superintendence of all affairs j pertaining to the education of the young. Being in want of a teacher, they advertised ( in the county journal for "a well-disposed , moral man, who was capable of teaching the < dead languages, did'nt chew tobacco or ] drink whiskey." After a week or two, a j raw-headed Yankee made his* appearance, , a pine stick and knife in one hand, and a cake of ginger-bread in the other. < The committee assembled, stroked their , beards and looked wise. f "Well, sir," said the chairman, eyeing ? the candidate from head to foot, "do you | possess the necessary requisites for a public ( school teacher ?" s "I guess I do," answered Slick, whittling . his stick. j "Do you understand latin ?" asked one \ of the committee-men, a dutch farmer. j "I guess I do," replied Slick, again , rounding the end of the stick with his knife. "Well?let's hear some of your latin," ^ said the Chairman. ? "Quambo hie squashicum et pumkinicum ] linqum," responded Slick, drawing his coat , sleeve under his nose. "Dunder?" exclaimed the dutchman, L * ?

A QUARREL ABOUT A STRAW. A STORY FOR CHILDREN. There have been a great many quarrels imong grown up children?called men and (vomen?about straws, or things of no more importance. Robert and Rachel were growing up ][uite tall, for the latter was between eight ind nine years of age, and her brother a fear older; they ought, therefore, to have known better than to quarrel. A sad thing it is for young people to give way to i hasty temper. Rachel and Robert were at play togethjr, under their father's study window, he tvith his humming-top, and she with her skipping-rope, when Robert, seeing a long straw on the ground, and picked it up and aegan to balance it on his finger. This he lid very cleverly for some time, till his 3ister who was fond of a bit of mischief, jave him a push, when down fell the straw ;o the ground. Robert, instead of taking the act in a good-humored, way, rose up nto a passion, and angry quarrel took jlace. "You are a provoking thing, Rachel! I vanted to see how long I could balance the 1 T straw, and now you have prevented me. I iav& a great mind to break your skipping ope, that I have." "Break my skipping-rope, indeed, you >as8ionate boy! Do you think 1 am a shild ?" "Yes, I do think you are a child, and a rerry silly child too. You are always dong some ill-natured thing or other; I vould not be a meddlesome girl for the vorld." "And I would not be a foolish, passionite boy on any account. You are always >reaking out in your temper, and speaking tgainst girls, and giving yourself airs; but ! will leave you to play by yourself." In a very tossing manner Rachel walkid away, and soon began to skip and sing, ;s though she was happy. Robert, too, eemed to be altogether taken up with his lumming-top, whistling louder than usual, hat his sister might hear him. You cannot keep up a fire long without uel, and anger, like a fire, requires feedng to keep it burning. In spite of Ravel's singing, and Robert's whistling, their learts did not feel rightly. By degrees hey came nearer together, and at last said lobert, "Why cannot you come and skip tore, Rachel ? There is plenty of room." "So I would, Robert, if I should not be n the way of your humming-top." "Oh, you would not be in the way at. 11, and if you were, I would move farher off. I was foolish in talking about reaking your skipping-rope; I did not lean to break it." "No, I did not think you did. It was 1 rrong in me to call you names." s "And I also said many things I ought ? nt to nave spimeu. ( "It was all my fault for pushing you ,*hen you were balancing that straw; but [ you will take it up again, I promise not o touch you at all." "And I promise that if you do, I will ot again be so foolish as to go out of temper, about it; kiss me, Rachel, and let us e friends. You are a kind sister to me, nd I ought to be a kind brother." "And so you are a kind brother, Robert, nly a little bit quick in your temper, and am quicker still. But now pick up the traw, for I should like to see how long you an balance it wi hout letting it fall." Robert turned round to pick up the traw, and saw, to his surprise, his father oming into the garden. The truth flashed n the minds of both Robert and Rachel at nee, that though they had thought their ather was out walking, he had been in his tudy all the while, and must have seen nd heard all that had taken place; their aces were almost as red as the roses on the ieds that surround them. "And what has been the matter ?" said heir father ; "for your faces tell me that ,11 has not been right with you. What has ?en the matter ?" "I quarrelled with Rachel, father," said lobert, "but I was out of temper. I am cry sorry that I went into such a passion." "It was my fault, indeed, father," said lachcl: "for when Robert was balancing , straw, I gave him a push and made it fall: t was mv fault." i "My dear children," said their father, 'I know all about the matter ; and though ' ' am glad to hear you own your faults, and ry to excuse one another, yet I really did eel ashamed and grieved that my children hould be angry and quarrel about a straw. t is not only weakness, but wickedness, to ;ive way to bitterness. If you love one ,nother, you should bear with one another, [hough you now are friends, you cannot dot out from your memory the ill-natured vords you have spoken, and the hard names rou have called each other. Do be more vatchful over yourselves; for 'He that lath no rule over his own spirit is like a :ity that is broken down, and without walls.' ?rov. xxv. 28. And do also be more eariest in your prayers to your Heavenly Fa,her, that a spirit of love may be given you. \sk him to help you by his Holy Spirit, hat you may be more and more like Jesus ; ind you may learn how to forgive one an- < )ther." i TIIE LORDS' DAY AT HOME. "The general aspect of this holy day which we would encourage," writes Dr. Hamilton, "is not that of sternness, of morbid sensitiveness of crouching will worship, but that of settled, solemn stillness. One word would interpret all we desired as best agreeing to it, without and within?serenity. We rejoice when it breaks in elementtal peace ; with balmy breath and cloudless beauty. We rejoice when it departs with the tranquility of a sunset which is disturba/l Ktt nn nnrrrv blast-. or tmnnpst, rnok. Yof ew VJJ ww ?"6V ? 1 more do we rejoice when the tumult of the people is still. The collisions of life no longer chafe. The dizzy wheels of society stop. City, village, temple and home, lie bathed in unearthly calm. "Our appeal is to Christian parents. Do you respect the Sabbath and teach your children to respect it ? Is it the memorial of your roof-tree ? Is every duty and pleasare, journey and visit, subordinate to it ? Do you let them see that nothing is suffered to interfere with it ? Do you instruct them in the peculiarities of your faith ? Do pou impress upon them the ordinance of this day ? The remembrance of the Sabbath day is the life of Christian families." Great talent renders a man famous, great merit procures respect, great learning esteem, but good breeding alone insures love and affection. |Jrjrartuirttt. Fron tlio Chronicle and Sentinel. TO SOUTHERN" FARMERS. Permit one of your number to address to you a few words, the result of his own reflections upon the state of things as they now exist. Unaccustomed to the use of the pen, he does not expect to attract you by anything but homely, common sense. When the people of the South realized that their resources were exhausted, and their cause lost, they, with one voice, gave up the contest, and accepted the terms proposed by the Government, and it is a source of pride to-day, that they have adhered to the bargain on their side, through "evil and good report." The bitterest enemies we have, amidst all the abuse and vituperation which they have unsparingly heaped upon us, have never had hardihood enough to charge the contrary. We were all bankrupt when the war closed, and the question forced itself upon each one, "What can I best do to ~.?oa1P on/1 +Vi/vao urbn UllfcltC a 3UppUll> 1UI III J OCll Cfr&tvi vuwgv ?, depend upon me?" We were not all agreed as to what our true policy was. Some of us thought we ought to plant cotton sparingly, and raise grain and stock, so as to be independent of the rest of the world. But the majority were of a different opinion. They thought there was an opportunity to jegain a portion of our lost wealth. Cotton was bearing a fine price. We had the lands. The old laborers would hire, and, by using what little means we had, and all the credit we could get, we would make a bold push for the recovery of our section from its terrible condition of bankruptcy and destitution. The first season was unpropitious, which, with the bedevilment of Bureaus, &c., made a failure. We lost all we had, but the West prospered as of yore, for we still bought her corn, bacon, mean whiskey, et cetera. The east made her usual profits, because we still bought her products. The Government was content because we still paid heavy duties and onerous taxes. The second year is coming to a close, and Our Heavenly Father has been more than usuilly beneficent in his seasons: but cotton bas fallen below the cost of production, md we are left far behind where we started two years ago. These are stubborn facts, lot of the imagination, but facts which every man feels. What shall we do ? Complain and growl and do the same thing over igain ? I hope not. Growling will do no rood. " We have no rights to complain ajout. True, the cotton and tobacco tax ivere expressly in violation of the Constitu;ion, hut we have paid the tax and shall lave to continue to do so. Growling only nakes us contemptible, and is only matter >f amusement to the men who impose the sax. The victim robs the tyrant of the best ialf of his triumph who berfrs his oppressions with dignity and firmness. Shall we ipply to^Congress for relief? Never! Have rou any faith in a Congress who now, when he fact is made manifest that ninety-nine nen in every hundred who planted cotton his year have been ruined by the operaion?the crop not being sufficient to pay he expense of making it?still adhere to i tax of twenty-five per centum on the jross production ? They promise to take t off the next crop. Noble fellows! Does mybody believe there is any sincerity in heir action? I pity the poor creature vho is green enough for such creduility. Choir motive is too apparent to deceive mybody. If they had been in earnest in vishing to help the South, they would stretch forth the hand now, when they see he waves cngulphing us. No; they see he game is likely to work to their own mrt. They fear we will not plant a crop >f cotton unless some strategy is resorted .0. The West would like to sell more of ler commodity to us, whether we prosper >r go to perdition, and they hold out this >ait to get a crop in the ground, and when hat is accomplished and we are so far :ommitted tnat retreat is cut on, an excuse vill be found to put the tax on again. If ve are as wise as ten-year-old boys ought ;o be, we shall not be in a condition to ;hank them to take the tax of the crop of 68?we shall not have a crop to take it iff of. Our present distress grows out of )ur idiocy in failing to raise our own supalies. If the forty-odd millions of dollars that vent from the single city of Atlanta this pear to the west, for provisions, were now n the pockets of our own people, where it should be, we should not near the hourly ;omplaints of approaching starvation. The ;ruth is, the time of making money by 'arming is gone by in this section. We icvcr did make much above the natural ncrease of negroes, when we had the powir to concentrate all the labor we employed, knd now, when labor is so uncertain, and laily becoming more so, it is impossible to nake anything raising cotton. The people >f the North may or may not believe what diey assert about the improvement of the negro. We will not dispute with them on that subject. We kaow he is vastly more iemoralized and unreliable than he was as i slave. We know that it is worth his labor to watch him and keep him from stealing more than his work will amount to, and if he is left unemployed, the responsibility is not with us. We were anxious to do the best, both for him and ourselves, but, backed up as lie was, by the agents of the Government, he has become lazy and trifling, and to carry him further with the cotton tax on his back, is asking a little more than I am willing to bear. 'i. he only road to independence for us is in strict economy and the cultivation of such crops as will give us a sure support at home. We have been the overseers for the rost. of the world lin to this time. We had no ogency in bringing the negro to this continent. He was forced here by others for their own aggrandizement. We have had all the plague of taking care of him?have taken all the cursing and abuse on his account?have worn out cur lands to sustain him and build up other portions of the earth; and, as soon as they felt they could get on without him, they have ruthlessly broken the bonds whicn bound him to his duty and turned him loose to poison our existence with his thefts and robberies, and now ask that he shall rule us for the time to come. But I am not going to write anything about politics. I am no politician. I have no faith in politics or politicians. I only present this view to show you the folly of relying on the negro as a laborer. Let him take care of himself. Let us plant only cotton enough for the consumption of the mills in our midst and such as may be erected. There are a variety of crops we can make for market. We have c jood sale for wheal and with the same care and pains we cai compete successfully with any portion ol the United States. Our wheat is heavier, makes more and better flour than the wheal of the North, and that we can get intc market a month in advance of them. We may raise our own stock of all kinds, and supply other markets after a few years. Hay may be made very successfully witb us. I speuk from experience when I say this, for I have made the crab-grass hay the last summer, and sold it at fifty dollars the ton. Now, all this looks well, but will the peo?le fall in f This is the question. ''Am in favor of legislation on the subject ?" By no means! I have no more faith in legislation to make a man plant correctly than I have to pay people out of debt. But public opinion may do a great deal tc bring us to the right way. Now, before nvxanminian^o n*a marla fnr Or?<?fVl?r VPftTV ui i (mg^ux^uvo aio ui?uv *v? trMvwMv* j v??? j let us agitate. It has been fashionable for some years to use the word "traitor" in connection with those who do not think the man who will plant a full crop of cotton the next year, will, whatever he intends, prove an enemy to his section. I am not asking others to do what I am not doing myself. I have means to plant a heavy crop of-jcotton another season, with the land and' facilities to make it, I will say equal to any; but I have resolved not to do so. I make this resolve in the spirit oi patriotism, and call upon my countrymen to go with me in this good work. Adopt the plan and we will drive want from our doors, and be independent, let the wind blow as it may. Follow our old track and ruin and starving slavery will continue to be our heritage. Georgia. EFFECTS OF PERLASH. * If our friends can in any way teach their wive , daughters, or cooks, f to keep the pearlash out of their bread, all the yellow people, especially the yellow children, who are supposed to be turned yellow by the fever and ague, and billious fevers, will soon be turned white- It is a great mistake to suppose that the yellow countenances of the West come from bile, when it is the enormous quantity of pearlash eaten in the I bread that is reflected through the skin. Bread is the staff of life, it is said?and so it is?but it is the staff of death, too, in this country. Bad bread kills about as many people here as bad rum. So many people eat poisonous pearlash for bread, that they die by inches. Dyspesia, that great monster disease of the country, that deranges the liver, brings on costivcness, and thus finally kills the human victim, is half the time "pearlash." Here in the East?out of New England?we have driven off the pearlash salseratus cook, but not altogether. Pearlash lives here yet in bread, but in cities and towns we have nearly whipped out the murderers. In the distant Western towns, beyond the good hotels of the lakes and rivers, Pearlash, under the name of Salaeratus, is King. It is not any wonder, then, that the people of Bthe East turn yellow West, and sicken, not of fever and ague, billious and congestive fevers, but of pearlash three times a day.?Journal of Applied Chemistry. ? ^ Secure the Leaves.?The woods are now full oHeaves. Indeed they appear to be more abundant than ever, but fanners do not value them as highly as we think they should. Eor barnyards especially they are profitable to haul in. They are obtainable too when there is little pressing work on hand. Gathered up in heaps they can be readily loaded in carts and wagons with close shelvings by using either a cloth some two or three yards square, or with a wooden rake and the arm. Hogs are very fond of them for litter, so are cows; and for compost they are excellent. As oat straw is now usually fed to cattle and rye straw commands a high price in the market, there is nothing left for the purpose of littering but wheat straw. Hence forest leaves should be held in higher estimation than they commonly are.?Germantown Telegraph. t # 4 Thorough Tillage.?At one of the Irish Agricultural meetings, one of the speakers remarked, and the truth may be well applied in this country: "What brought out the immense agricultural wealth of Scotland ? and what enables the small farmer in Belgium, who, on 7 or 8 acres of light, sandy land, was able to do better for himself and his family, than we can do on twenty or thirty acres of land in this country? It was not by allowing three fourths of a light tillage farm to remain in poor herbage, and making the other portion pay the rent. It was because the farmers in these countries he alluded to, make agriculture a study, a duty, and a pleasure, and because no man there would keep one single acre of land more in his possession than his capital and his means would enable him to cultivate." Poison Oak.?Having suffered severely and often from the effects of the Poison Oak, I can recommend to those similarly troubled, a cure quite as effective and much less disagreeable than Iodide of Potassa, as published in your last number. The application of coal oil to the parts affected, twice eF-fchree times daily, will afford speedy relief and in a few days effect a cure, as 1 have proved in my own case, several times this season, and for the last time this week. I am pursuaded that in cases of erisypilis. Coal Oil will prove equally effective.

This is a secret worth hundreds of thousands tc farmers and the State.

Wagon Tikes.?A newspaper writer says his wagon tires "wear out before they gel loose," and the reason is he saturates the felloes thoroughly with linseed oil before the tires are set. The felloes are placed in hot oil for about one hour, and are thus rendered perfectly water-proof, so that th( shrinking and swelling that loosen the tire are prevented. Dry Cows.?A corrspondent in the Q-er mantoum Telegraph says: On no account stint a cow in food be cause she is dry, for if you do, a poor call will be the result; for while dry, the co^ has two lives to support, hence the fact ol her going dry, that the substance before given in the ft>rm of milk may go on in the form of food for the calf. \ ik ? otMfe tftfium. p 1 TERMS?IIV ADVANCE t > SPECIE.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 1 OF VIRGINIA. 1 rivHE Subscriber respectfully informs the public | X generally that he nas accepted the Agency of the above Company, and is now prepared to issue policing of LIFE INSURANCE. The solvency of the Company is certified to by the Court Officers of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commended to those who deelre to support a "Home Institution. jTA. McLEAKfr At the store of J. & E. B. Stowe. THE OHJECT Of this Company is to insure life?not indeed * to prolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to continue the exertions, investments and benefits of your life to your dependents, alter your life Is terminated. However well prepared a man may be in/i spiritual point of view to meet the "king of terrors," if he De possessed of a thoughtful mind and a feel- ^ ing heart, he can but look with sad forebodings to m that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive his fond wife and helpless children of that support ' and fostering care which his ann has furnished. He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the ? gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind those whom be loved, as vagrants roaming tho friendless, tbornv paths of public charity! Yet, alas 1 how many do it 11 when a small present outlay would gild their troublous road with ease and comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Header, are you not liable to this sad death-bed reflection of the unseen trials you bequeath those you leave behind, bv neadectinir this cAeav vrottciion which we now urge upon you? If your mind were easy on this subject; if you could feel when you "shuffle off this mortal coil" your family were provided for. you would be relieved of tho carklng anxiety that fills every worthy mind at such fears: you would be better prepared to pursue your avocation with mental comp<; .ure and zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill the piace of a fond father, yet we do aseert, what you know to be true?money will prove their beat earthly friend when yoo are gone; and you can leave them this certain friend now while you are living. Can you?'will you reftise it ? Business men are considered rather improvident who do not insure their goods and houses against fire. Now, your house may never be burned?it 'My stand a hundred years; but your life cannot lart so long?your "lamp of life" must,bum out some day. You argue it is prudenttomsureagainst uncertain misfortunes to your property, and yet neglect a certain event which will and must t come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and prudence? We admit and assert the prudenco of w the first, but assert the greater wisdom and neccs- | sity for the last. Ask yourself tho question, are yon doing right to neglect this opportunity to provide effectually for youn family in case of your death, while you have.it in your power? And -1 bear in mind?now. this moment may be your last chance?death is after you! When once his "rugged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," the ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be o- J pened to the sighing hearts von took card of while I you lived. Remember! only while in health?be, fore age, with attendant diseases come upon you? before yon begin to loiter in sad sickness on the ve*ge of the grave?only while living?mentally . and physically living?can yon obtain a Life Insurance Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is always the final victor?and while we do hot urge this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving bosom to know you have provided for your femily before that trvmg hour comes. By having your life insured you 'tdisarm the sting" of poverty and want to them. We imagine now we hear the wail of suffering from some lone widow, while she examines the merits of this business, as her shivering group stand around her scanty fire and cry for bread: "Oh I that my husband had insured Ids life! If he could have foreseen my lamentable state he would have done so. He was kind 1 and good to all, and supposed that all would be kind and good to us; but alss, how mistaken! He provided well for us while living; but if he had insured his life, its benefits would have continued to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, for J many such a scene has really existed. A .

Tne insecurity of property, ana the uncertainty of life, appeal powerfully to every man upon whom devolves a family for support, to invest a part of his income in some permanent way, to provide for them after his death. The following are examples showing the annual premium upon $1000for life: Axe. Annuel Prem'm. Age.
