OBEYING OBDEBS.
An old chap in Connecticut, who was one ,
of the most niggardly men in that part of
the country, carried on blacksmithing business
very extensively, and also hoarded all ,
his own hands. And to show he envied the
men what they ate, he would always have a
howl of bean soup dished up for himself to '
cool, while that for the hands was served
up in a large pan just from the boiling pot.
The old fellow had an apprentice who was ,
rather unlucky among the hot irons, fre- ,
quently burning his fingers. The old man (
scolded him severely one day for being so r
careless.
"How can I tell if they are hot unless
they are red V* said the boy. (
"Never touch anything again until you *
spit on it; if it don't hiss it won't burn." P
In a day or two the man sent the boy in
to see if his soup was cool. The boy went
in?spit in the bowl, and, of course, the
tsopp did not hiss. So he went back and
told the boss that all was right.
"Dinner!" cried he.
All hands run-; down sat the old man at SI
the head of the table; and in went a large ^
spoonful of the hoi boiling soup into his ^
mouth. ^ ? c<
4iOood heavens!" cried the old man in a "
freafc rage. "What did you tell me that w
e for, you young rascal ?" ^
"I did not lie," said the boy, innocently. ^
"You told me that I must always spit on ^
everything tp try if it was hot, so I spit in n
your bowl and the soup did not hiss, so I t(
supposed it was cool. c<
Judge of the effect upon the jours. That
boy was never in want of friends among ^
the journeymen after that. 01

A ease was recently tried in one of b
the courts of Ohio about the soundness of
a horse, in which a clergyman, not conver- e
ant with such matters, appeared as a wit
ness. He was a little confused in giving 81
his evidence, and a blustering lawyer, who "
examined him, at last exclaimed: "Pray,
sir, do you know the difference between a n
horse and a cow ?" c
"I acknowledge my ignorance," replied 0
the witness. "I hardly know the difference ?
between a horse and a cow, or a bully and 11
a ball, only that a bull, I am told, has horns 8
and a bully (bowing with mock respect to
the petti-fogger,) luckily for me, has none." ?
"You can retire, sir," said the lawyer, .
"I've nothing more to ask you."
A Mistake.?A friend of ours traveling t
through one of the rural precincts of the e
county, a few days previous to the election t
farce, rode up to a farm and thus accosted i
a tow headed urchin, who was seated upon i;
the top of the gate post: f
"Bub, where's your pa?" t
The little reb replied: "Pa is just gone
down there beyant the cow-shed to dig a t
grave to bury our old dog Jack. The darned \
old fool killed hisself a barkin' at a radical 1
candidate for the State Senate. Be you i
one?"
Our friend rode on.

GlVB IT UP.?We have an acquaintance, s
an old man, whose young people pester him a
greatly with conundrums. He got into a t
drowse the other evening at church, but ii
recovered himself partially just as the c
preacher gave out the text, 'How are the v
mighty fallen?' Imagine bow mortifying t
to his friends and family, as to the parson, v
was the scene when our friend looked up t
inquiring at the preacher, and in the meek- v
est possible tone replied?'I will give it up!' o
A SOUTHERN CHEESE FACTOKY.
A correspondent of the Ashville Newt
ind Farmer, give's the following particu
are of a new enterprise recently started in j
Buncombe County, N. C.: '
Not quite a year ago, Mr. N. W. Wood- <
in, the owner of the lands upon which the
Factory is situated, left this place to visit 1
;he State of New York. While there he 1
nade the acquaintance of Gov. Horatio 1
Seymour, the present President of the <
Dheese Factory Association of that State, 1
irho induced him to visit many of the Cheese <
Factories there in successful operation.? <
Phe flattering results in that State caused j
klr. Woodfin to seek out every information j
joncerning it, with a view to introducing i
A WAof Axn Po ino (
fU bUC J^cvpc V/i ff VOVVAU AWIVU vaivuuu
;he subject of Cheese making, as a means 1
>f recuperating their lost fortunes and to <
change the production of their farms. 1
The intelligent and practical mind of Mr.
iVoodfin saw at once that if Cheese Factories
were profitable in New York, where
jrazing lands are worth from $100 to $200
jer acre, and labor much higher than in
;hese mountains, it would be much more
)rofitable in Western North Carolina,
vhere equally as eood grazing lands can
>e bought at from $1 to $10 per acre, and
abor much cheaper, while our climate and
rater, being cooler and purer than in New
fork, will enable us to produce a better
juality. He immediately induced Capt.
idwards, one of the best Cheese makers in
tfew York, and who was highly recommenled
by Gov. Seymour, to pay a visit to
Juncomb and examine the country. In
ranuary last, Mr. Edwards came here,
ook a survey of the country and pronoun?d
it equal to New York for Cheese making
_ _
A cuiupauv r? us luiiueuiaiciy iviuiru, ?
}apt. Edwards was employed to superin- c
end the Factory, and sent back to New t
fork to procurie the most complete and c
iest machinery. At that time there was j
lot a tree cut, from which any part of the 1
iresent buildings were erected; but the '
odefatigable energy of the members of the t
Company in an incredibly short time felled a
he huge forrest trees, erected suitable i]
uildings, made a good road of tvp miles in '
ength, and by the time the machinery ar- ?
ived, on the 27th day of April, everything t
ras ready to receive it. v
On the 28th of April 1868$ (the day af- a
sr the machinery arrived) the first cheese i'
ras made at Elk Mountain, weighing 40
ounds, and is as fine an article of cheese h
s any made in any country. g
Quantity of Cheese now made v
daily, 250 to 260'tt>9. ii
Number of cows milked, 180 a
The whole quantity of Cheese
made since April 28th, 8000 lbs. J*
There are two sizes of Cheese made; one
ze weighing about 40 lbs. each, the other *
om 8 to 12 fibs. The prices adopted by ?!
le Company are for the largest size 20
?nts per pound, for the smaller size, by 8
le single Cheese, 25 gents per pound, but r
here three or more small ones are taken ?
le price is reduced to the same as for the "
irgest size. This price brings it within
ie reach of every one, and if the Compa- ^
y does nothing more, it deserves the uni- P
;d support of our people for having redu- 81
2d the price of that article of food. r!
The Factory employs fifteen hands. Of
iese, three are females; two, as milkers
nly, and one in the vat room. The male r<
mployees are engaged, between the morn- a
ig and evening milking hours, in various
ther duties on the farm.
About ntty nogs are Kept "lat ana nourihing"
upon the whey from the vats. t'
The Machinery was made by Messrs, a
Williams, Ralf & Co., Utica, Oneida Co., a
f. Y. h
Thus, then, in ten months after it was
rst thought of, the Machinery has been n
lade, in New York, and delivered in Bun- \>
ambe County, N. C., the forrest felled, n
m buildings erected, 180 .cows purchased, a
ad 8000 pounds of superior Cheese made, a
hich finds ready sale, in and near Ashe- b
ille, at the above prices, and gives the t]
'actory earnings, since the 28th of April, t]
ot two months?the respectable amount of w
1,600! Such energy and industry is en- h
tied to the highest praise, and ensures to a
ae enterprise a profitable career. p
A| an enterprise, for the general good, r,
; cannot be over estimated. Already we a
ee its influences permeating through every a
ection of these Mountains. Cheese Fac- f
jries are to be established in other Coun- a
ies, and with them will our farmers be en- v
ouraged to change their system of cultiva- i
ion. The grasses and rotation of crops s
ill soon make our old fields put on a living
reen verdure, from which the lowing cat- i
ie will yield, morning and evening, their a
olden reward to the owners, while the n
mds will be constantly improving in price t
nd quality. t
We are unable, in this number, to give j,
etails of the process of Cheese making, g
ut as it will be our pleasure to often no- e
ice the success of this Factory, we shall 0
mbrace another opportunity for that. b
we cannot close tms article witnout as- a
tiring our readers of two essential particuirs
in the Elk Moutain Cheese: e
1st. Its cleanliness. Everything con- f(
ected with its manufacture is scrupulously g
lean. No lady in the land is more cleanly
r fastidious in her bread and pastry, than t
re Capt. Edwards and his excellent lady a
a everything connected with their Cheese, t
o that none need fear "eating dirt" in it. D
2nd. Its quality. We profess to be a t
;ood judge of cheese, and we unhesitating- j
y pronounce the Elk Mountain Cheese (
iqual, in every respect, to any cheese we
lave ever tasted. And why should it not
>e ? Captain Edwards is the best cheese 1
naker that could be found in New York; e
he machinery used is the Sc. ne as that used t
n the best Northern Factories; the process 3
3 identically the same, the pasturage is e
ully as good, and our cows yield as rich \
nilk, while our climate is far superior. s
We ask our Southern merchants to turn s
he current of their cheese money up this t
vay, and we promise them they will be de- 1
ighted with the change. The Company is 3
low ready to fill all orders. s
7 yDestruction
of Stumps.?We have
leard of two methods for getting rid of
tumps, which, as they appear feasible i
md inexpensive, we hope some reader will c
ry, and report upon. Bore with a two- t
nch auger to the heart or centre; fill the g
avity thus made with sulphuric acid, or r
rith crude petroleum. In the first case, c
he acid becomes the destructive agent ?
rithin a few months; in the latter, when
he stump becomes saturated, as it will,
rith the oil, it is fired, and will then burn S
ut to the last particle, like a candle. b

HOME.
Home, thou sweet and endearing word!
Long after the echo is hushed, and the
sound is borne afar on the passing breeze,
its holy influence remains, breaking upon
the heart a mystic spell.
What is home ? Is it only one's dwelling
place, or one's country? A place
where the body is clothed and fed, where
nre go out and come in and&ld shelter from
the rude tempests of our native land! No,
10 ! It means something dearer and mere
exalting still. It is a spot we have cherished,
and around which our affections have
fondly clustered since earliest childhood.?
Not only a spot of earth, but it is an oasis
in the heart's desert, a green isle in 4tmemiry's
waste," to which we often turn with
inhering gaze. 'Tis there we have loved
ina been loved. 'Tis there the holy and
aappy influence of pious parents checked
)ur wayward nature and brought us to reject
on the'realities of life. There, around
the hearth-stone with fond ones, sweet associations
and pleasures, no where else to
)e found, tilled our cup: with: jo v. Some
>ne has said, "home is where the heart is;"
md is true, for our earthly affections are
centered upon home because there the greatest
amount of earthly happiness has resulted
to us, just as our chief affections
should be centered on God and heaven, as
;he source of all our spiritual comfort, and
lappiness. There is associated with home
;he idea of a calm and peaceful rest, a quietude
from the busy, noisy throng of earth's
'teeming millions." A forgetfulness of all
lemporal cares and anxieties; a sweet peace
tnd comfort of mind, never felt by the exle
and stranger. The Terr -round carries
vith it something sweet aUd impressive.
To an exile (and who aire not exiles in
his land of war and desolation 1) the hope
>f a return home gives wings to iq&uy a
ardy hour. He has parted from cUee.and
mjoyment, rest, and the sweet comforts of
ife, but his thoughts and hopes of a return
n the future light up his darkened pathray.
Ah ! sighs one, when this way worn
ask is done and these wanderings and toils
.re over, how happily will I return to rest
a the bosom of those I love at home 1 Yes,
'when this oruel war is o'er," may-we pOor
xiles be permitted to go back once again
o the spot we loved in youth, if but to
reep over the ashes of a ruined homeBtead,
nd the graves of "loved ones" gone to rest
a heaven. .
If the thought of a return to an earthly
iomc is Bweet, oh ! how soul-oheering and
lorious the remembrance of a home in heaen,
to which weary pilgrims are journeyag,
and where there is a "fullness of joy
nd pleasures forevermore li' We are exles
from a Father's mansion on high, and
e has promised us a safe and happy ream,
if through the mediation of his son,
re enter upon the high way, and fight vaantly
as "soldiers of the cross." How
weet the reflection, we will sooner pr later
eturn to inherit promised joys! Were it
ot for such hope as this, how many a thirstJg
traveler would faint by the way ! but
is heart is fixed on home, Sweet Home,
rhere the fountain of living water gushes
ure from beneath the throne ! There his
ainted soul may go outr and in, and find
est eternally. Oh! that final rest, after
lie storm of life is past! That rest at home!
Sweet rest in heaven!" May we all, kind
eaders, be permitted to enter into that rest
t home. C. F. H. .

A LOW-COMEDY MULE.
In the spectacular performance of Humpy
Dumpty, now running at the Olympic,
small mule is introduced, and is made to
ppear quite comically, by the dexterity of
is heels.
About a fortnight ago the regular anilal
fell ill, and an amateur was substituted.
Vhen one of the characters touched the
ew mule to make him kick, he began in ^
dmirable style. He kicked off the fellow, ,
nd kicked him twice before he touched the
oards. Then he ran towards several of J
he other dramatis personce, and kicked
hem. Every object on the stage, whether j
laterial or mental, he kicked off. Next ^
e began on the scenery. He kicked down
whole forest, three good-sized cottages, a 1
icturesaue cascade, a e-ranite nrison. a
-j-- 7 " ? ? ?
obber's cave, a royal palace, the Rialto,
nd Vesuvius in eruption, and was about to
ttack the "grand transmutation scene"
rom "Midsummer-Night's Dream," when
rope was thrown around his neck, and he j
ras dragged off by the whole strength of
he company, assisted by all the able-bodied
upernumeraries. ^
The audience, many of whom supposed
he obstreperous mule part of the performnce,
were delighted at his energy, and de- ^
landed, with deafening plaudits, a repetiion
of the scene. The uproar was so great '
hat the manager came out and said that an ^
atermission of fifteen minutes would be
;iven to enable some of the actors to recov- .
r the breath that d?d mule had kicked
ut of them, and pledged his honor that the j
rute should never make another appearnce
on the Olympic stage.
At this the audience roared louder than
ver, and for nearly half an hour the perormance
was suspended by the universal .
;uffaw.
Every night since, the kicking mule has
ieen called for, and the manager of the the,tre
has, in consequence, inserted an adverisement
in the daily papers that the anioal
was mysteriously knocked in the head
he same night of his successful debut.?

THE; DI8C05TEJfT E|> COUPLE. J
An old die contented couple, who had
hard work to procure the necessaries of
life, were conertantly complainitig of the :
Caulks and failings of others, instead of
seeking, by Divine help, to rectify their
own.
"All this trouble and sorrow in the
wwTTT&fSftnQKi and Eve," the old
gentleman would exclaim, "If /had been
Adam, I would never have allowed a wo- \
man ta-lsad me into inch a Bcrapfi..''
A wealthy and pious lady lived near 1
who had frequently relieved the old man 1
and his wife; One day, when passing, she
overheard them grumbling, as usual, about
Adam and Eve. She felt anxious to con- |
vince them of the importance of heing con- 1
tented with the station in which Provi- '
dence had placed them, and how wrong it
was to be thus constantly murmuring at
their lot in Tife.
The next morning, the lady's servant, in 1
livery, came to the cottage, with a mes- 1
sage from his mistress, requesting that the '
ola couple would go up xo her mansion.
The looks of discontent vanished for !
once, as the old folks were delighted with 1
such amark of distinction from one so very ]
rich.
' ' * * ' ' ' -0 j
On arriving at the mansion, the lady received
them most kindly, and thus addres- 1
sed them:
%"I have s^t apart two rooniB in my house j
for your use, and, so long as you attend to |
my wishes, you will be allowed to remain ,
here, and have everything needful for your
comfort. But, if you disobey any of my j
rules, you will be immediately turned out,
and sent back to your mud cottage."
"Thank you! thank you,, kindly, ma- 1
dam!" responded the old man.
"IJeyer fear our doing anything against (
your wishes, ma'am," added the ola woman. ,
"Very well,." said the lady, "then you
will find a home here for life."
Everything necessary for their comfort
was provided, and all went on well for some ,
time. There was one thing that somewhsft
puzzled them. 0
For several days there was placed on the 1
dinner-table a covered dish, which they j
were desired not to touch. .
"My lady desires me to Say, that every
dish is at your service, except that one," J
Baid the servant.
On one such day, having nearly finished
their hearty repast, the curiosity of the
old woman was greatly excited as to the
contents of the forbidden dish, and she
said to her husband:
?4 Whatever can it be?" . <
- "Never mind," said the old man; "we've
^capital dinner without it." ?
"As the lady was doing us good, she
might as well let us taste every dish," ad- r,
ied the old woman. f
"Why, yes, she might as well have done
it handsomely," rejoined the husband. p
' "There can be no harm in looking," p
mntinued the old woman! "the lady will lc
aever be any wiser for that." I
The old man was silent, and silence t
serves to give consent. He was almost as f<
jurious as his wife about the strange dish,
rhe temptation -wka strong, and the longer e
it was parlied about, the more irresistible a
it became. a
"She'll never know we have looked," a
repeated the old woman, as she gently took 3
tiold of the cover, and. very cautiously t
raised it on one side, and then stooped e
lown to peep under. ?
"Oh! oh!,oh!" exclaimed the terrified .
}ld woman, as she started back and upset
the dish cover on the floor.
Out jumped a mouse !
The upr9ar aroused the lady of the house,
who, suspecting what was the matter, was
quickly at the door.
"What! is this the return you make for
my kinduess ? You, who were so ready to
blame Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden
fruit, could not you obey my trilling
request ? You have now forfeited the
privileges I conferred upon you, and must
therefore leave my house immediately, and
return to your mud cottage. Never, in
future, blame Adam and Eve again, for
what vou evidently would have done had
/on been in their places!"
IRVING AND THE THIEVING BOYS.
Mr. Irving was* full of the milk of human
kindness, but even he could'nt sub- '
mit composedly to the robbery of his oruhards.
The following incident will show
bow he stopped it:
When he first moved into this region he
was much annoyed by thefts, which some
bold boys perpetrated upon his fruit. He
determined to stop their visitations by a method
peculiar to himself. Learning from
the gardner that they were on the
premises, after placing him in a certain
spot, with instructions how to aot, he,
from the opposite side, came upon the boys
unexpectedly, but having recently settled
in the neighborhood, they were not familiar
with his appearance, and kept pocketing 1
bis apples with the utmost nonchalance.
He singled out the lad who apparently assumed
the post of leader, and thus addressed
him: 4'Boy,
those are very poor apples. I "
know of a tree on which there are far better
ones."
"Where is it?" asked the weary mar- (
rauder. 1
"Over yonder," pointing to the cottage.
"We're afraid of the old gentleman." }
"He is not there now. You will be per- j
fectly safe; but make no noise lest we be <
overheard."
In a few moments the party were on the ]
march for the new foraging ground. Mr. l
Irving leading. They advanced in single 1
file, and sought the shelter afforded by the
east side of a prickly hedge. . Ere long \
the voice of the gardner was heard near i
them. j
"Be quiet," said the leader, or we shall ,
be discovered. "Keep near the hedge, 1
every one of you."
Fear made them hu^ closely to the covert,
which tliey imagined only concealed r
them from the dreaded proprietor. The '
thorns pricked them sorely; but the great- r
er danger which was imminent made them J
indifferent to the pain inflicted by the
thorns.
Soon they approached the desired apple
tree, and as they gathered round it, saw ^
the gardener approaching from a direction
which made escape impossible.
"Boys," said Mr. Irving, "this is the
tree I spoke of, and I am the owner?Mr.
Irving. Do not be afraid," he continued;
"I shall not punish you; the prickly hedge t
has done that sufficiently already. I only f
ask that when you want to eat my fruit,
you will come to me and ask for it. I da
not lite to have my property taken away
without my permission."
The ringleader in. this affair gave the
writer, in after years, the details of it him- i
self, and added'that the rebuke was so {
thorough he never robbed Mr. Irving's or
any other apple orchared again.
A CONTENTED MIND.
"I saw the most splendid doll down
town," said Carrie. "It was as big as
baby, and it had such beautiful curl; hair,
and parian arms and feet?not old kid
ones, as my doll has. I wish it was mine."
"Better wish fo; a contented mind, Carrie,"
said grandma. "I must tell you a
story: .
"When I was about your age, I was
rerv fond of dolls, too; but we did not have
such handsome ones as children have now
a-days. , I never had any except a rag
one, with bead eyes, but was continually
wishing for a German doll, made of wood,
with a painted face. One day, my mother
told me to get ready for a walk with her,
saying that, 'after I came home, she would
give me money to buy a doll, if I still wished
for one.' ; I was delighted. We went
to-the poprest part of the town, and entered
a small house, hearing a little girl singin?
as we opened the door. I was surprised
to find she was the only person in
the bouse, and that she was blind. She
sat in a chair by the fire, knitting, and
seemed very happy. We sat down, and
mother told ber she had brought her little
girl to see her, and asked if she did not
feel yery lonely when her mother was away.
