The Fat in the Fire.?A gentleman who had carefully trained up his servant in the way he should go, so that when his wife was present he might not depart from it, sent him with a box ticket for the theatre to a young lady. The servant returned when the man and his wife were at dinner. He had, of course been told in giving answers to certain kinds of questions, to substitute the masculine for the feminine pronoun in speaking of the lady. "Did you see him ?" said the gentleman, giving him the cue. "les, yes," replied the servant, "he said he'd go with pleasure, and that he'd wait for you, sir." "What was he doing ?" asked the wife, who, with the usual penetration of her sex, thought she had discovered a mouse in the meal. "He was putting on his bonnet," was was the reply. And the scene closed upon an extinguished husband. Some years ago, Col. Kamsey sa* one of his slaves going one morning, Bible in hand, to church. Knowing that Dar was not a person of literary proclivities, the Colonel said: "What are you going to do with that Bible, Dan?you can't read it ?" "No, Massa, can't zactly read 'em, but I can spell 'em out a little." "What't the use of spelling it out ? You can't urn derstand it any way. The Bible, for instance, says that 'the very hairs on our heac ? 1 ? >T 1 1_ are numbered. now you navn i any ntui on your head?nothing but wool. Whai do you say to that ?" "Yes, Massa, I 'sped dat's so; but I spell out a little verse, whicl say, dat on de las' day de sheep dey wil go on one side and de goats on de todder Now de sheep has de wool, but de goats de^ got har jus' like white folks; and I 'spec uat dey ain't gwine to be saved?dat's wo I 'spect!" A Puzzled Yankee.?Jinks tells a goot story of a man on a Mississippi steamei who was questioned by a Yankee. Th< gentleman, to humor the fellow, replied t< all the questions straightforwardly unti the inquisitor was fairly puzzled for an in terrogatory. At last he inquired: "Look here, Squire?where was yeot born ?" "I was born," said the victim, "in Bos ton, Tremont St., No. 44, left hand side on the 1st day of August, 1820, at 5 o'clocl in the afternoon ; physician, Dr. Warren nurse, Sally Benjamin." Yankee was answered completely. Foi a moment he was stuck. Soon, however his face brightened, and he quickly said "Yaas; wall, I calculate you don't re " ' -f i :?i collect wnetner n was a name ui ? unu house, do ye ?" A Droll Epitaph.?The wife of goo( Deacon A bid farewell to this vale o tears in the goodly town of D , in Con necticut, leaving the widower disconsolat< indeed. After having laid her in her quie: resting place he ordered a costly marble t< be erected over the loved and lost, and witl the name and age, the following inscription "Let her rest in peace." The sculptor either a bungler or careless, found, aftei carving the words, "Let her." he had no sufficient room to finish the sentence, 8< concluded the initials of the other word; would convey the meaning. We can im aginc the consternation of the good Deacoi and the pious friends of the worthy de ceased at seeing so irreverent a motto 01 her tombstone?"Let her R. I. P." A case of negro aristocracy came of in the town of Staunton, Va., recently. One of the Northern "school inarms,' who is there employed in teaching th< "freedmen," told a sprightly negro gir that she "must not call the woman witl whom she lived, mistress?that she was a: good as anybody." Pretty soon the girl asked her teachei what business she followed before coming South to teach. "She was a basket maker, was the re ply." "Well!" said the girl, gathering up hei books and making lor the door, "I'm noi going to sociate will you any longer?yoi say I is ekil to my mistriss, and she don'i sociate wid basket makers!" jgg?- In a religious excitement in Boston a person met a christian neighbor who tool him bv the hand, and said:( "I have become a christian." "You are a christian, then, all at once,' said the other, "you profess to act strict ly on christian principles. I am glad of it I congratulate you. Suppose we now have a settlement of our little accounts be tween us?pay me what you owe." "No," said the new convert, turning or his heel, "religion is religion, and busines: is business." ggf Many years ago a Boston lawyer go lost while travelling in the woods, on Cap< Cod. Coming to a house, he rode up t< the door and accosted the lady of the hous< as follows: "Madam, if you will tell m< who I was, who I am, where I am, anc where I am going, I will give you a dollar.' "Y')U were Kent, the minister; you ar< now Kent, the lawyer; you are in Fal mouth woods, and you are going to th< devil." lie handed her the dollar and rod* on. The lady happened to know him. ? fig?* A little fellow had a dirty face, an< his teacher told him to go and wash it. Hi then went out and stayed for a few minutes and then came back with the lower half o r 1 . A_1 ul ms countenance toierauiy oieau, urn the upper half wet and dirty. "Johnny,' said the teacher, "why did you not was! your face ?" "I did wash it," said Johnny "Why did you not wipe it, then, all over ?' "I did wipe it as high as my shirt-tai would reach," was Johnny's conclusive re P ly A Dutchman once met an Irishmai on a lonely highway; as they met eac! smiled, thinking he knew the other. Pat on seeing his mistake, remarked with a loo! of disappointment,: "Faith, an' I though it was you, an' you thought it was me, an its nayther ov us." The Dutchman re plied": "Yaw, das ish dhru; I am anunde man, und you ish not yourself; we pe bot some oder podies'" jfcgr* "My son," said a veteran at the foo of the stairs, "arise, and see the newly risen luminary of the day, and hear th sweet birds singing their matin songs o praise to their great Creator; come whil the dew is on the grass and tender lamb are bleating on the hillside; come, I say or I'll be up there with a switch, and givi you the cussedest licking you ever had." JtgriniJtowd fJepartttteat THOUGHTS ON A RAINY DAY. Editors Southern CultivatorI have long been thinking that the cotton growing portion of these disunited States, have been pursuing a phantasmagoria, that has led them through swamps of mud, across lagoons of quagmire, all dismal and dark, instead of along the high way decorated with flowers and fruits, and grazing herds and playful lambs, and colts and kids, and fat sleek stock of all kinds, and full cribs of corn and wheat, and rye and oats, and smoke houses laden with plenty of fat bal con and lard, and syrup and sugar, i Oh, how pleasant earth should seem, blessed as we are with a mild, genial climate, fertile soil, and everything in nature , and art, to make us God's peculiarly happy ! people. True, the past has been rough, and our best blood has been poured out like i water on the land we love, Jehovah may aci cept our sacrifice, consecrated upon the altar of liberty, and yet lead us through pleasant places, where the vallies are all smiling, and the people are all cheerful.? 5 But will he do it, if we close our eyes to the 1 past, and like blind leaders of the blind, > afill nnraiiA a r?mirsa nf sninirlal follv. that [ blasted our hopes in 1867, and plunged our ' cotton country in the slough of despond ? > What if having run against the breakers in ' 1867, we remember the lesson, and steer " our bark in the clear sea of peace and ' plenty, and each one of us say I care not 1 what course others may take, I will raise : my own provisions and after that what cot^ ton I can ? Messrs. Editors, we have got^ ten a fine price for our cotton. Our half j crop of 1868 has brought us more money ' than our full crop of 1867; are we fools, that we can't see that God sent the cater' pillar to teach us a lesson ? But alas! c where is our cotton money. We have not 1 squandered it in luxurious living; true, but what do the newspapers say. "From one j to twelve thousand busheis of grain pass r daily over the State road, and there has a already passed twenty thousand mules." * ?Dalton Paper. j "A Big Sale.?The largest sale of mules made at this point this season, was made yesterday, by Wm. Bouden, of Millersburg, j .tsourDon county, ivy. xie sum twenty mul^ for the round price of $225 each, and twenty others at $190 each to Pennington, of Montgomery, Alabama?making an av [ erage of $207, for forty head, out of the . same lot."?Extract from a Mule Trader i ' Letter, to the Paris Kentuckian, January t 29th. If from one to twelve thousand busheh ' come over one road daily, how much to the ' South during the season, and how manj c mules and hogs and horses, and thousands of pounds of salt pork and bacon and flour \ This is where the money goes, and we poor 1 deluded fellows, in our haste to get rich f with cotton at twenty-five cents, can't see - that if we raised all that we spend our mon; ey for, and after that what cotton we could, t that we could then get fifty cents per lb. > as easily as now 25 cents, to say nothing l of the pleasure of feeling that we were in: dependent of the Negro and the Yankee, , and the grain grower, and the mule and the r hog raiser, and that for one half the cotton, t we could realize double the money. ) Let us for a moment speculate as to the J the effect of this course. We would need * no emigration societies?Othello's occupai tion would be gone, in the grain growing - States; the high price of cotton, would l make our cotton lands eminently desirable, and consequently valuable; emigration r would flow to them, and those who own them would have an inexhaustible treasure, , to bequeath to their children. We would not need more than one-half the laborers | that we now have, and instead of being at the mercy of a lazy, thievish, demoralized 1 impudent set of negroes, we would again 3 establish our supremacy, and dictate our own terms for employment, or have their places filled with intelligent laborers of our ' race. Labor would succumb to capital, in stead as now, capital to labor. Are tnese ideas visionary ? I challenge controversy, and can prove by actual demonstration, that ' I point out the road to happiness, ease, peace and wealth. "Why should we send 1 our raw cotton thousands of miles to have it spun and wove, when at our doors the swift running brook is ready to do our bidding? Forget not the past?pursue wis dora in the future, and not only raise your own corn, but your beef, pork, mutton, syrup and sugar, hogs, horses, mules, and wear the fleece of your own sheep. Then . my countrymen, your darkness will be turned into light?your poverty into riches? 5 your gloom into rejoicing, and your misery . into happiness, and our down trodden country will rise like the Phoenix out of its own x ashes, and blossom as the rose. 3 Yours, respectfully, GEO. W. C. MUNRO. j. COTTON AND PROVISIONS. ? The question of how much cotton should > be planted this year, will be settled in a ? few weeks. The only advice we have felt j at liberty to offer our readers has been, I make ample preparations for a provision ' crop, and after that, plant as much cotton ; as can be well manured, well cultivated, and . nicely picked out next fall. Even when ; cotton commands a <jood price, it is doubt? fuf policy to rely on foreign supplies of food?the crops of the North-West may be short, or European demands may draw ofl 1 the surplus. Moreover, to use a homely e but expressive adage, it is not well "to have i all our eggs in one nest"?the season may C I C.? ' 1 DC a very puur uuc iui uuuun, uut vcij ^ for grain. A farmer should diversify his crops?at least up to the point where they 1 begin to clash with each other. One ol the most serious objections to the cottor crop, is its incompatibility with other crops 1 From January to January, its calls are al y most incessant?especially is it difficuli to manage small grain in connection wit! n it. "Whilst, therefore, we have no disposi ^ tion to join in an indiscriminate outcry . against cotton, we should be exceedingly ? glad to see the cotton crop brought withir t legitimate bounds, and other crops advancec to their proper dimensions in comparisor with it. In the language of Bishop Pierce rj"we protest against the cotton screw e i stretching out its long arms, as if it woulc take in all the farm." Another very important consideration, which we hope oui t readers will not forget, is, that farmers whe - raise cotton to buy provisions, are very e often compelled to force sales of cotton al f ruinous prices. Witness the experience oi e 1807?one of the most disastrous years ir s the history of cotton planting at the South , and much of that disaster due to the very e circumstance now under consideration.? , Southern Cultivator for April. IpsttJlatNtfttsi JMidfjs. THE LAST TENNESSEE MONSTER. Onr sister State of Tennessee is becoming famons for sensations in the line of horrid beasts and buried cities. The monster snake captured last fall is now eclipsed by a wonderful frog recently discovered and captured in a cave a few miles from Columbia, in Maury county. Mr. A. P. N. Matthews, and his brother Lem Matthews, vouched for by the Columbia Her aid, as truthful citizens, tell the story ? The frog was first discovered by a party of boys, whose curiosity led them into the cave, and whose fright impelled them to a more hasty exit. A party of gentlemen then essayed to test the report of the boys, found the animal, and were driven back by a ten feet leap it made in their direction. The rest of the story is given as follows : Mr. Porter having some matches, the candles were lighted, and with the light came back the courage of the little boys. An advance of a few steps brought us in sight of the monster again. Mr. Matthews sent to his house for a large goods box, which soon after arrived. The box was dragged in and the top removed. The box was pushed by Messrs. Dixon and Due towards the frojr : Mr. Matthews, usinff the top as a shield, succeeded in getting behind the frog, and by throwing stones at it for some little time, made it change its position to a place near the wall. The box . was then pushed slowly up and covered it; the top was slipped down, the box turned over and secured by a few nails, and the prize was ours. Right glad did we all feel at our success, and with high hearts we commenced the work of dragging the box out of the cave, which we accomplished after much labor ; and we lifted it into a cart and started for ; the residence of Mr. W. D. Matthews, to ; have it weighed, as I had no balances that ! would draw enough at my house. A rope i was tied around the box and the frog and \ box were weighed together. The frog was then turned out into a chicken coop and the box weighed, and showed that the frog i weighed ninety-three pounds. : I will be willing to make an affidavit of , this fact before any Justice of the Peace in ' Maury county. Those present who saw 1 the weighing can attest to this. It is, I , dare say, as rare a curiosity as was ever found in our country before. Mr. Mat( thews measured it while it was in a sitting r posture, and its height was exactly three f feet four inches. Its eyes, as near as we could guess, were two and one-half inches i in diameter. The color of the breast or i belly was a dark yellow, while its back was ' a dark green, and apparently mossy; i around its neck are two distinct red and ' one dark stripe. From the centre of the head, or rather commencing from the top /-vnn 4-UrkMA n v?q onrvomntlv Q I UOUtl C UI tllC UUOC) bixcig c*i ^ wiva^ ?* i thousand light stripes sprangling out from a common centre like rajs of tight. Its , feet are of large proportions and are perfectly black. ABOUT^MONEY. , My chum pulled out of his pocket a half s sheet of paper folded like the back of an , old letter, and began rea%)g notes there, in a slow and sententious way : "Money \ is the concentrated essence of Labor. A [ man who has a thousand dollars has a thou. sand days work in his one hand. If he r knows its value he can*move about among | men with the force of a thou^nd laborers, that is, with a hundred and twenty horsei power. l "To know the force of money, one must know labor. [ "When one man has money and another i has not, they contend for its possession.? ; This is trade, or robbery, according to cir[ cumstances. "There are three uses of money?the use - of getting it, the use of keeping it, and the - use of spending it. Consequently it classi fies the bulk of mankind into money-get, ters, money-keepers, and money-spenders. - Except the misers we read of in novels, men do not love money for itself any more ; than soup tickets, or baggage checks, or promissory notes, or title-deeds. The love [ of money is the pleasure of mental func tion in getting, or keeping, or spending. . The sponge and the spendthrift are equally . guilty with the miser. "The class of money-getters includes - merchants, gold-miners, pickpockets, poli. ticians, and professional beggars. Ameri[ cans are great money-getters, but they do t not care to keep. Hence this is a country . of great incomes but small fortunes. "The class of money-keepers is small. Literary men are not found in it. Lawyers . are good at keeping money, particularly if Ia ~ *vArtnln'o \f AnQTr lilrn onmn ! It 13 ULUC1 JJtvpit o. iuwiiv^, i>nu uuuiv other essences, has a pungent, sweet taste; but to be kept, must be corked tightly. It evaporates in the open air, and the vapor consists in interest. A mortgage is a condensing instrument which enables a money keeper to evaporate a money-spender. "The class of money-spenders includes ; the majority of mankind. It is natural to spend money before? we get it. We are all born to this, and cost a great deal before we earn anything. The power to get into . debt is essential to the happiness of all shiftless people, including most of the Governments of Europe. College students and ' married women, who ha ve no legal capacity to bind themselves, satisfy this propensity F by getting their fathers and husbands into debt, if possible, t "Money is like gunpowder. To make it carry, charges should be carefully measured 1 and well rammed down. Its explosive > power depends on the tightness with which r you hold it. Scattered loose, it fizzles F away with no effect. i "To become wealthy, one must both get . and keep. To be useful, the wealthy man -must be also a judicious money-spender." t JIarvers Maaazine. 1 V I . Ax Easy Place.?Rev. Ilenry "Ward r Beecher, some time since, received a letr ter from a young man, who recommended i himself very highly as being honest, aad II closed with the request: '-Get me an easy i!situation that honesty may be rewarded." , To which Mr. Beecher replied : r "Do not he an editor if you would be 1 easy. Do not try the law. Avoid school keeping. Keep out of the pulpit. Let : alone all ships, stores, shops and merchan>: dise. Abhor politics. Keep away from ' 'lawyers. Do not practice medicine. Be t;not a farmer nor a mechanic; neither a f soldier nor a sailor. Don't study. Don't i think. Don't work. None of them are , easy. 0, my honest friend, you are in a r hard world!

FINITE superior merits of the "Singer" Machines I over all others, for Family use or Manofaetnring purposes, are so well established and so generally admitted, that an enumeration of their relative excellencies is no longer considered necessary. Our new Family Machine, which has been brought to perfection regardless of time, labor or expense, is now confidently presented to the public as incomparably the best Sewing Machine in existence. The Machine In Question is simple, oorapae^durohlo anrt hnuntifnl Tt ifl nnint llcrht. mnnlno and capable of performing a range and variety of work never before attempted upon a single Machine-using either SILK, WIST, LINEN. OR COTTON THREAD, and sewing with equal facility the very finest and coarsest materials, and anything between the two extremes, in the most beautiful and snbstantial manner. Its attachments for hemming, braiding, cording, tucking, quilting, felling, trimming, binding, Ac., are novel and practical, and have been invented and adjusted especially for this machine. New designs of the unique, useful, and popnlar folding tops and cabinet casts, peculiar to the machines manufactured by this Company, have been prepared for enclosing the new Machine. A faint idea, however, can at best be conveyed through the medium of a (necessarily) limited advertisement; and we therefore urge every person in quest of a Sewing Machine by all means to examine and test, if they ean possibly do so, all the leading rival machines before making a purchase. A selection can then be made undetstandingly. Branches or agencies far suppiyingthe "Singer" Machines will be found in nearly every city and town throughout the civilized world, where machines will be cheerfully exhibited, ami any information promptly furnished.
