gtonwwttjs ? GEORGIA ANECDOTE!. Many good things have been published as the sayings of Judge Dooly, of Georgia, but the following is, so far as we know, new to the types: His residence was approached by a long lane, some mile and a quarter in length, leading through the plantation, and far from comfortable, on the. burning August day of the incident. A neighbor, possessed of more lodes than brains, rode down this i and without dismounting at the yard gate, i some five hundred feet from the dwelling, ' he began to call aloud and wave his hat, as ] if the house was on fire. Judge Dooly came ] out in great haste to learn the cause of the i noise, and was saluted with, "I say, you i haven't seen Mr. Williams about here to- 1 day, have you?" "No," said the Judge. - * i "Well, that's all I wanted," said the fel- j low as he* rode off. ] Dooly waited till he was nearly out of I sight up the long lane, and then commenced < to blow a horn which hung in the porch; I and when the horseman turned to see what 1 it was, the Judge in turn began to beckon < with his arm and shout for him to return, j which he did at full speed. Arriving again i at the yard gate, Dooly came out to him. \ "Come up here. I want to speak to you." i - ? ^ n So the man dismounted ana came up to i the porch. The Judge paused in his walk i and said, fiercely: i "No, sir, I have not seen Mr. "Williams, < and hang me if I want to see him! That's ] all, sir; you can go now." < Judge Andrews tells of another occasion i when, to use a Southern phrase, he was l "taken down," by one of his audience dur- < ing a political address. He was a candidate s for Governor of his State, and was explain- j ing to a large crowd how his friends had i pressed him to be a candidate, and that the t office was seeking him, and that he was not seeking the office. 5 "In fact," exclaimed he, "the office of i Governor has been following me for the last I ten years!" - 1 Just then a tall countryman in the audi- < ence arose and shouted: "But here's yer 1 eonsolation,-Judge: You're gaining on it i all the time, and it will never catch you!" ?he prophecy was literally fulfilled. Opposed to Insurance.?A certain i Dutchman, owner of a house, had effected < an insurance on it of eight hundred dollars, i although it had been built for much less, t The house burned down, arid the Dutchman t claimed the full amount for which it had f been insured ; but the officers of the com- i Danv refused to Day any more than its ac- t r v if v tual value?about six hundred dollars. He < expressed his dissatisfaction in powerful ; broken English, filling up his remarks with some choice Teutonic oaths. "If you wish it," said the cashier of the insurance company, "we will build you a house larger and better than the one burned down, and we are positive that it csfti be done for even less than six hundred dollars." To this proposition the Dutchman objected, and was at last compelled to take the six hundred dollars. Some weeks after he received the money, he was called upon by the same agent, who wanted him to take a policy of life insurance on himself or on his wife." "If you insure your wife's life for J$2,000," the agent said, "and she should die, you would have the sum to solace your heart." "To ter tuyvel, mit you," exclaimed the Dutchman. "You 'surance fellers is all tiefs! If I insure my vife, and my vife, he dies, and I goes to de office to get my two tousand tollars, do I gits all de money ? nnt nm'to rrrm vill H?.TT tn TTIft ? *she awj uvw J ' - van^ worth two tousand tollars, she vas -i vorth about six hundred tollars. If you 1 don't like to take six hundred tollars, we ^ vill git you a bigger and better vife.' " ? A COLORED IDEA OF BUSINESS. j We find the following scene in the Sa- | vannah Advertiser t report of a recent trial ( of a negro for stealing cotton : t During the progress of the trial a very t black young man was placed on the witness j stand by the prosecution, to testify as to ] conversations had with the prisoner. When j asked what he was talking with him about, , the witness said, "about how each other j were prospering in business." ( "What was your business at that time ?" i "I was in de hog business!" i "He was in the cotton business vas he?" < "Yes sir." ] "Well, where are you living at now ?" 1 "I'm boardin' at de jail!" < "What were you put in there for ?" j "Stealin' hogs." "How many did you steal ?" "All de man had." j "How many was that?" "Only one." "That was the hog business you were in; was it?" "Dat was de business." "Did you ever steal any cotton ?" "Oh yes." "Did you tell of it afterwards ?" "No need to do dat, dey caught me at H. A Tough Case.?A little darkey was recently found sitting on the step of a fashionable house not far from Saratoga, crying pitifully. "What's de matter with you ?" asked a colored woman. "De matter's 'nuff? double trouble all over the house. Fadder am drunk? mudder am gone home wid cloze?sis broke the looking-glass wid de broom-stick?de baby got her eyes full of kyan pepper, and little Ned Anthony put de mustard on his hair for goose grease.

IIowT I Did It.?I hitched my chair close up to hern, shet my eyes, and shudderinglv said : "Sally, I have been hankering arter you for a long time?that's so! I love you from the foot of your soul to the head of your crown, and I don't keer who nose it." With that she fetched a screech, and arter a while she sez: "Uriah!" "Sally" sez I. "Yes," sez she, hidin' her face. "Glory, galory !" sez I. "I can jump a ten rail fence. Hooray?hooray !" With that I sorter sloshed myself down by her side and clinched.

Nature indicates that most trees, shrubs, and plants will flourish most satisfactorily, endure longer, and be everyway better when they send a strong tap root deep into the ground. And this fact is more particularly true when the subsoil is porous, that ^ long tap root will readily strike downward, as far as the stem grows upwards. Were it not a habit of the tree or plant to send down such a taproot, it would be advisable to cut it off. But many nurserymen will persist in cutting this root off at all hazards; because they say ten roots will push out at the end of the stump where the taproot was severed, which will be more serviceable to the growing plant or tree, Shan only one taproot. Those ten roots, it is true, will be more idvantageous in sustaining the life of a tree, for two or three years, long enough for selers to get trees off their hands, and get iheir money for them, even by warranting ivery tree to live one year. Most men ffiink if they can make a tree live one year, ;he difficulty is all over; they may now lount on a satisfactory ana successful growth. But there never was a principle nore erroneous. Every tree needs the adrantage of a long taproot, to go down deep nto the dry earth, and bring up moisture n dry weather, when the surface roots canlot furnish one drop of water to the growng plant. Therefore, when a tree, or bush, >r vine is transplanted, make a deep and .arge hole with a long crowbar, four feet leep, put the taproot into it, and fill the rancancy with sand. If there is no taproot, i)end down a lateral root into the hole, and jncourage a taproot to strike deep into the joil. We are seeing the superlative folly, ill over our country, in the failure of trees ind vines, of all kinds, of cutting off the laproot Shrewd nurserymen have hoodwinked md bamboosled fanners long enough, by naking them believe that the taproot should )e cut off. Nature is a more reliable guide ;han the instructions of a nurseryman, who san sell more trees and make more money iy recommending a practice that is diametrically opposed to Nature's law. ? -rv rrti \T About Flows and flowing.?xne JNew 5fork Committee appointed to superintend ;he trial of plows, has reported, and we jondense the following: Taking New York is a basis of calculation, the committee find ;hat there are 80,000,000 acres in the Uni;ed States now under the plow. Assuming ;hat every plow turns over fifty acres aninally, it will require 1,500,000 plows to iccomplish the work; and if a plow lasts, >n an average, eight years, it will take L87,500 new plows every year to supply ;he demands of our country, without countng the large number exported. The num>er of plow manufactories in the United States is 423, and the value of plows anlually made about $2,000,000. It is esti nated that the plowing of land requires the abor of one million of teams, of either oxen >r horses, for eighty days in the year, and ;hat, counting in the labor of the men required to manage the teams, the cost of Doth annually is fully $20,000,000. It is ilso assumed that if the plow having the east draft were brought into use, to the jxclusion of all others, it would reduce the jost of plowing forty-two per cent., or $8,100,000 annually in the United States done.? Cin. Times. Description of the Ramie.?This new ;extile plant is drawing more attention than my novelty presented to Southern cultivators since the war. A number of plantations in Louisiana and Mississippi are this rear devoted to its culture, as they former? "towa fn nnffAn Tf L ou atia siornnl ad. I J n WO VV VVVVVJU* AV MW VMV vantage over cotton?it can be harvested md handled by machinery. Ramie belongs to the nettle family; the int or fibre, used for cloth, is the inside >ark, obtained, as flax is, by Breaking, or )therwise getting rid of the stalk. It yields wo or three times as much as cotton per icre, and requires less cultivation. When Droperly handled, the fibre is of the most lustrous white color, a little rough to the touch. The cloth made from it, has a rich, jilky hue, and lasts a long time. It does aot give a cloth agreeable to the touch, as cotton or silk, but for all outside fabrics, md especially for muslins, it is generally raperior to either cotton or linen. At present, it sells in London for sixty cents a pound. To engage in raising ramie, a Southern farmer needs only to obtain the :uttingp, and a machine for cleaning the 5bre, which will cost about $225. * * How to Get Big Crops.?As a rule, farmers are much more ambitious to get big prices, than big crops. There are few farms whose average production could not be doubled in a very short time by more capital and labor. It is safer to use capital in farming than in almost any other business. The credit of the plow is quite as good as that of the loom and anvil; and the capital will come, if it is called for. Use more manure, and get thirty bushels of wheat where you now get fifteen, and eighty bushels of corn where you now get forty. The quantity of grain per acre is mainly a question of manure and tillage. A big compost-heap makes a full grain bin. With high manuring, the soil needs deeper stirring and a gradual bringing up of the subsoil to the surface. With the present horseharrows and cultivators, nearly all the cultivation can be done by horse-power, at a great saving of expense and a great inAMAnan AP tl \JL V4IV ViV|yu? Stormy Days.?Let these be employed by the farmer to good advantage, cleaning up the barn, setting the barn and house cellar in- order, mending tools, and other things that may be broken; helping the good wife, if possible, cutting up roots, cutting hay, and many other things that will suggest themselves. Some farmers that we have known remind us of the old Dutchman at whose house a traveler stopped one rainy day for shelter. The house leaked badly, and the traveler asked the owner why he did not repair it, when he said, "You surely would not have me go out into the rain to do it, would you?" "But why not do it in fair weather"Why, it does not leak then !" So some persons are always putting off and putting off, never quite ready to do the job. This is a bad way. JBg1* Wood ashes contain all the inorganic ingredients which growing trees extract from the soil, and in consequence are justly regarded as the best fertilizer for apples, pears, peaches, plums, etc. a* tfu (Siwfc. | HONORING A MOTHER. "Charlie, come in; I want yon," aaid a sweet, womanly voice to a little boy who was playing marbles on the sidewalk in front of a nice brick house. Now Charlie was very busy and in the midst of a delightful game. He was as happy as could be. To quit his play then was like quitting the table half through dinner, Wouldheobey? We looked with interest to see what he would do. What would you have done ? Charlie replied, "Yes, mother," and picking up his marbles, started off with a smiling face and a bounding step up the sidewalk, and in at the end door of the house. A fine boy that, I thought, as I lookeci af- < ter him. I wonder who he is? What a 1 beautiful thing it must be to have a little i boy or girl that will mind at once, and with i a happy, loving heart!. I wondered what 1 would become or that boy, and wished to \ see more of him and learn his history. . i I used to walk past that house every ' week, and always thought of that blue-eyed 1 i. . i * ii mi .i A . /?i j. . Ugnt-nairea Doy. xne inougni 01 mmmaue : me happy. I saw a great many naughty children. Once I spent two or three days i in trying to find a naughty boy who. ran i away from his home ana overwhelmed his 1 parents with grief, and when I found him 1 some one had stolen his coat and hat, and I bundle of clothes, and all the money he 1 had. Once I chased after a truant boy and 1 girl several hours, and at last, late at night, i found them in the woods, wet through, cold ! and frightened almost to death. They had i disobeyed their mother and gone to play < instead of going to school, and both of; them were sick for several weeks in conse- < quence of their folly and exposure. A boy that minds?he is a jewel. I had been in business a year or two,and 1 in that time had had several boys, but it 1 was next to impossible to find one that would mind. At last I -was quite out of patience, and determined that I would have no one who could not bring the best: recommendation and stand the closest test. Several applied for the place, but no one suited us. At last came a blue-eyed, flaxen-haired youth of twelve years, with a bright honest face. There was something engaging in his aspect. Had I seen him before ? What is your name ? "Charlie Warren, sir. I live in Franklin street. My father is a carpenter, but he is lame now, and cannot work, and I have got mother's consent to go into a store if T ran find n nlno.p." It was the very Charlie whom I had seen playing at marbles. I remembered the cir- | cumstance, and knew that he would mind. I did not need a recommendation for him, but gave him the place, and twice ae much pay as I had promised to give. 1 Charlie came to work on Monday morning. ft seemed hard for him the first week 1 of work, but he behaved like a man. The boys in the next store came in and made ! his acquaintance. One morning I heard 1 two of them trying to persuade Charlie to 1 go off with them down to the wharves in ' the forenoon and see a boat race that was 1 to come off. "No," said Charlie, "mother 1 told me to mind my business, and I am paid 1 for staying here, and don't think it right to go off without my employer's knowing it." That was a brave word, and I thought , more of Charlie than ever. That was ten years ago. He has been ! with me ever since, and proved to be the ' best clerk I ever had. Yesterday we put , up a new sign, and on it, in large gilt letters, was Charlie's full name. The store J is his own. He is now a prosperous, prom- 1 ising young man, and- if he lives will be a I rich, honored man. And all this because : one bright morning he minded his mother : when she called him. From such little things do gfeatresults come. Always mind and it will be always well with you. Ladies' Repository. \ ? HOW QUARRELS BEGIN. 1 "I wish that pony was mine," said a lit- ] tie boy, who stood at a window looking down the road. "What would you do with him?" asked Kia hrnfhpr "Ride him; that's what I'd do." "All day long ?" "Yes, from morning till night." "You'd have to let me ride him sometimes," said the brother. | "Why would I ? You'd have no right to him if he was mine." "Father would make you let me have him part of the time." "No, he wouldn't!" "My children," said the mother, who had been listening, and now saw that they were beginning to get angry with each other, , and all for nothing, "let me tell you of a j quarrel between two boys no bigger nor older than you are, that I read about the ; other day. They were going along a road, talking together in a pleasant way, when : one of them said, ; 'I wish I had all the pasture-land in the world.' The other said, 'And I wish I had all the cattle in the world.' 'What would you do then?' asked his friend. 'Why, I would turn tliem into your pasture-land.' 'No, you wouldn't,' was the reply. 'Yes, I would.' 'But I wouldn't let you.' 'I wouldn't ask you.' 'You shouldn't do it.' 'I should.' 'You sha'n't!' 'I will!' and with that they seized and pounded each other like two silly, wicked boys as they were." The children laughed; but their mother said, "You see in what trifles quarrels often begin.

A Sevebe Hit.?A contemporary relates that a lady who advocated dancing said to an aged minister of another denomination "Well Mr. N , with all your objections to dancing, you will be obliged to admit that it is not half so bad as to be in another room at an evening party, drinking, or playing cards, or perhaps slandering one's neighbors." Mr. N replied: "I candidly confess, as you say, that it is not half as bad as either of these, and if the members of your church are obliged to drink, gamble, slander their neighbors, or dance, I say, by all means, dance?or, which is better, stay at home. As for our church, we are not obliged to do either." fpsceUanemia ,|ttirtes. CURE FOB THE PULES. , Mr. N. Pruden, of Jersey, Licking conn- ; ty, in this State, sends ns the following re- j cipe for the core of the Piles, which he de- < sires ns to publish for the benefit of the af- 1 flicted: Take half a pound of new-made butter, \ free from salt, one pint of juice of the poke t root, (which some call garget,) and one com- t mon tablespoon-full df gunpowder; put i them together and simmer the compound over a slow fire until the water*is all out. Then, as it is cooling, stir it a little at intervals, to keep the powder from sinking. Anoint the parts affepted twice a day, for a few days. This has cured ninety-nine [ out of a hundred of all kinds of Piles. U c the disease is not at the surface, a swab ^ must) be made to reach it, if possible. This i is often necessary with bleeding Piles. The month of May is the beet time to make " the salve as the root is then the most juicy; 1 and can be easily grated and strained. But if made in the winter the root can be p boiled, and use the tea according to the P strength. #' . ' , . 0 Mr. Pruden adds: This has been a cure > in New Jersev for more than fifty years, fi ind never known to fail of a cure but twioe. fv [t has never been patented, not peddled an til within a few years. I. gave a recipe e to a man who has since been getting rich * t>y it. My ancestors always gave it away a to the afflicted when called for and never ? intended any one should speculate on it. 9 [ have long intended to publish it, but could b never think of it when I was at a printing- ? office. I now send it to you, with the hope v you will give it to the public for the benefit of whom it may concern.?Ohio Paper. \ 3 ? ? * How To Sweep fhe Floor.?In the days of Puritan grandmothers no girl was 4 considered fit to receive proposals of mar- riage until she could make a good hemlock broom; but in these later times, many a ' young lady not only offers herself in the < matrimonial market, but absolutely gets J married, and undertakes to manage ner i house without knowing how to use a broom * that spme one else has made. We have f seen a broom used so unskilfully, that one J would think the person engaged in using it [ was endeavoring.to transfer the dust from ? the floor to the furniture. It requires some ] science, or at least skill, to use a broom t well. To do this skilfully, the handle J should incline forward and not backward. If the top of the broom inclines forward : beyond the part next the floor, it will prevent much of the dust from rising into the air, and will carry it along by a gently sliding motion towards the place where it is to J be disposed of. If, on the other hand, the handle of the broom inclines backward, the f dust is sent into tho air by a kind of jerk, to the detriment of everything in the apart- a ment. More than this, it wears off the ^ threads of the carpet quicker, injures the 2 paint more, if the room is uncarpeted, and * iestrovs the broom sooner, than if the 1 V # I m ' sweeping is done in a rational way. A i brush of bristles is always better to sweep [ ft carpet, as it is less liable to "kick up a \ dust," or to injure the texture of the car- J pet.?jV". Y. Observer. j Let Us Help One Another.?This lit-. . tie sentence should be written on every 1 heart and stamped on every memory. It should be the golden rule practiced not only in every household, but throughout the world. By helping one another, we not on- 41 ly remove thorns from the pathway, and anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sense J of pleasure in our own hearts, knowing we j are doing a duty to a fellow creature. A ? helping hand or an encouraging word is no * loss to us, yet it is a benefit to others. Who t has not felt the power of this little sentence? a Who has not needed the encouragement and f aid of a kind friend? How soothing, when I perplexed with some task that is mysterious and burthensome, to feel a gentle hand on 1 the shoulder and to hear a kind voice whis- ?' pering: "Do not feel discouraged?I see pour trouble?let me help you." What strength is inspired?what hope created? what sweet gratitude is felt, and the great difficulty is dissolved as dew beneath the sunshine. Yes, let us help one another by endeavoring to strengthen and encourage the weak and lifting the burden of care from the weary and oppressed, that life may glide 3moothly on and the fount of bitterness yield sweet waters ; and he whose willing hand is ever ready to aid us, will reward our humble endeavors, and every good deed will be as "bread cast upon the waters, to return after many days," if not to us, to those we love. To Whom it May Concern.?The Lockport Daily Union gets off the following first rate paragraph: "If you wish to keep a town from thriving, don't put up any more houses than you can conveniently occupy yourself. If you should accidentally have an empty dwelling, and any one wants to rent it, just ask him about three times the actual value of it. Demand a Shylock price for every spot of ground that God has given you a stewardship over. Turn a cold shoulder to . every mechanic or business man seeking a ] house among you. Look at every new 1 comer with a scowl. Run down the work ; of every new workman. Go abroad for c wares, rather than trade with those who j do business in your midst. Fail to adver- ' tise, or in any manner support your papers, t] so that people abroad may not know whe- i ther business flourishes or not. Wrap yourself up in a coat of impervious selfish- 8 ness. There is no more effectual way to retard the growth of a town than actions t like those enumerated." Care of the Eyes.?Looking into the fire is most injurious to the eyes. The * stimulus of light and heat united soon des- ! troys the eyes. Looking at molten iron 1 soon destroys the sight. Reading in the J twilight is injurious to the eyes, as then thev are oblicred to make great exertions. Reading or sewing with a side light injures i the eyes, as both should be exposed to equal degrees of light. The reason is, the sympathy between the eyes is so great that if the pupil of one is dilated by being kept partially in the shade, the one that is the most exposed cannot contract itself sufficiently for protection and will ultimately be , injured. Those who wish to preserve their " sight should preserve their general health ( by correct habits, and give their eyes just work enough, with a due degree of light. ] Prices Realized by Relics.?A tooth of Sir Isaac Newton's was sold in 1816 for the sum of ?780. It was purchased by a i nobleman, who had itset in a ring which he constantly wore on his finger. The prayer book.used by King Charles L when on the 3caffold, was sold in London in 1825 for 100 guineas. The two pens employed in signing the treaty of Amiens were sold in 1825 for ?500. A wig that belonged to Sterne was sold at public auction in Lon- . Ion for 200 guineas. The hat worn by Napoleon at the battle of Eylau, was sold in Paris in 1835 for 1920 francs. The pens ised in Paris for signing the treaty of peace i ifter the Russian war, were presented to ;he Empress Eugenie, by whom they have t 10 doubt carefully been preserved. ? 1 h fotMle !
