jfrtnaatotre ftparfmettt, A TSATELEB'S STORY^ ~~ Between Caleba Swamp and Line Creek, in the "Nation," (Georgia,) we saw a considerable crowd gathered near a drinking house, most of them-sitting and smoking. We stopfled to see what was the matter. It was Sunday, and there had been a quarter race for a gallon of whiskey. The firet thing I noticed, on alighting was the singular position of one of the horses of the party. He was kneeling down and standing on bis hinder feet, his head wedged in between the ends of two logs of the - grocery, and he was stone dead, halving evidently* run directly against the building at fall speed, causing the house to partially fall. About five paces from the horse lay the rider, quite senseless, with & gash In his throat which might have let out a thousand lives. As I said, most of the crowd were seated aud smoking . .. , . . - , ? i . "What is all this ?" I inquired. "What is the matter here ?" . > "Matter!" after a while answered one, in a drawling voice,, giving.a good spit, and refilling Ki? mmitli with a new cud. "Matter enough; there has been a quarter race." J "But how came this man and horse killed ?" Tasked. "Weiy answered the chewing and spitting gentleman, "the man was considerably in liquor, I recen, and he ran hishoss chuck against the. house, and that's the whole on it." 'Has a doctor been sent for ?". inquired one ^ reckon there ain't much use of doctors here," replied another of the crowd. Burnt brandy "Would not save either of 'em, man or hoss." - # "Has this man a wife or children ?" inquired L . "No children as I knows on," answered a female, who was sitting on the ground a short distance from the dead, man, smoking composedly. "He has a "wife then ?" I remarked. "What will be her feelings when she learns the fatal termination of this most unfortunate race ?" "Yes," sighed the female, "it was an unfortnnate race. Poor man!lost the whiskey." "Do you happen to know his wife ? Has she been informed of the untimely death of ner nusDana i weremy nes.t iuqiune?. "Do I know her ? Has she been informed of his death?" said the woman. "Well, I reckon you ain't acquainted about these parts. I am the unfortunate widder." Amusing Scene in Court.?Last week, in one of the New Orleans courts, a negro was called as a witness. The judge, who is noted for his austerity, held out the booltgnd the witness was sworn, and was, of course, Expected to kiss the book. But the witness was unused to criminal proceedings, and entertained curious ideas of the manner and propriety of swearing, and stood erect: "Why don't you kiss?" demanded the magistrate. . ..... "Sar!" "Ain't you going to kiss ?" was again inquired. "Sar!" repeated the astonished darkey, evidently mistaking the meaning of the court, and surprised beyond measure at such an invitation. "Kiss, I tell you!" thundered the judge. "Yes sar! ves sar!" exclamed the frightened and trembling darkey, nerving himself for the contemplated" embrace, and without more ado the long arms of the son of Ham were thrown around the judicial neck, and before he could be prevented a stentorian smack resounded through the court room. - ""'Quit, you beast?help! hejp f! ahoqted the magistrate. But the^ritness enjoyed the luxury, and the embrace was renewed with unction. "Take him off! take him off!" cried the court, while the loud Bhoutfe of the spectators testified their appreciation of the fun. At last, however, the officers of the court interfered, and the half-stranded iudee was rescued from the clasp of the liberal witness. An Indian Story.?Don Piatt, in a Washington letter, says: "I hope in the pantaloon business the Senate will be more successful than _ was my friend Dr. Taylor, for a short time Indian agent. He gathered up the clothes provided the Indians, by our Government, and after a deal of labor got the Indians together, and proceeded to put on the wearing apparel. He had no end of trouble teaching Mr. Lo the uses and beauty of the inexpressibles, and for a while the savages strutted about proud as turkey-coeks. But in less than an hour the head man of the tribe, feeling uncomfortable about that portion of his person where the legs efcd, you know, reached around with his scalping knife and out out the seat of his breeches. The other Indians followed suit, and the.Government pantaloons presented in the rear a summer ventilation more comfortable than seemly." Jte*F"Not long since an elderly lady entered a railroad carriage at one of the Ohio stations, and disturbed the passengers a good deal with complaints about a "most dreadful rheumatiz" that she was troubled with. A gentleman present, who had been himself a severe sufferer with the same complaint, said to her: "Did you ever try electricity, Madam ? I tried it, and in the course of a short time it cured me." "Electricity," exclaimed the old lady, "yes, I've tried it to my satisfaction. I was struck by lightning about a year ago, but it didn't do me a single raossel o good." A Misunderstanding.?The boarders were assembled one stormy evening in the parlor a fashionable boarding house in Boston, when a rather antiquated maiden lisped out the remark that she loved a rainy day, and always availed herself of one to arrange her drawers. "So do I," groaned an old sea captain, "I overhaul my drawers andsbirts too, sometimes, and sew on a button where it is wanted." Mademoiselle did not faint, but there was an angry rustle of her silk as she swept from the room, leaving all to exchange a suppressed titter for a good hearty laugh. SHaF Of course our children are not all of an age?one is twelve, another nine, and Jack, the "nubbin," is five. A visitor coming in one day, questioned the children in regard to their lessons. The eldest replied that she had to get grammar, arithmetic, geography, etc. The second got reading, spelling and definitions. "Ana what do you get, my little man ?" was asked of Jack, who was busy spearing the cat with a wooden sword. "Oh, I gets readin', spellin' and spankin', and I gets up in the mornin', too." ? ? ? A fast man undertook the task of teasing an eccentric preacher. "Do you believe the story of the fatted calf?" "Yes," said the preacher. "Well, then, was it a male or female calf that was killed ?" "A female," replied the divine. "How do you know that ?" "Because, (looking the interrogator in the face,) I see that the male is still alive." B@T A correspondent writes of a California woman to whom he showed a twenty-five cent note of our postal currency, specimens of which are rare in that hard money region. She turned it over and over with keen curiosity. "It seems very strange to me that this should be money," she said ; "it don't look like money." "What does it look like?" "Well," (hesitatingly, and with the utmost sincerity) "it?looks?like?a label for an oyster can!" fhil#mi'& jfepartmrnt. -'THE CHANGED SPRING. A long, long time ago, in a country a great way from durs, a company of travelers were passing through a desert. From the expression on many faces of gratitude'and relief, one would Infer thdtthey had just passed through some great danger. There were old. whitehgirea men, leaning on their staves and cheerfully keeping up the wearisome march. There were family groups?a father carrying a child of two or three years, a mother with a babe on herhosom, and older children following; there were young men and maidens, with uplifted brows and firm, elastic step. Their leader was a man in the prime of life, of resolute bearing, eyes wherein shown the light of great hope, and brow and mouth betokening courage and endurance. There was a great hope set before this people. They had just escaped from bitter enemies, who had long held them in bondage and fear; And they were journeying toward a new land that shoiild be to them a home?a home of freedom and.neace. For a while the glorious thought made them forgetful of the wearisome way; but as the day advanced, the burning rays of the sun coming down on their unsheltered heads, and scorching sand beneath their feet became almost intolerable. Tired, hungry, thirsty, they still pressed on, mothers soothing their little ones as best they could; all looking eagerly for somaspring where they might drink. The sun went down and no water had been found. All else could be better borne than this terrible thirst. Wearily they pitched their tents and lay down, hoping that the morrow would bring relief But when the toilsome march had been resumed at break of day, and many a mile of hot desert tsaversed, stdl no spring was in sight, and night again drew her curtain around them. Another and harder day, and they were nearly fainting, when, as evening drew nigh, they saw in the distance what they hoped (oh, how intensely!) might be a stream. Forgetting their aching limbs, they pi essed on with new courage and reached it Oh! joy beyond expression!?it was indeed a spring! Eagerly tbe half-fainting pilgrims pressed mound to drink?but what! The waters were bitter, intensely bitter, for it was a salt or mineral spring. Many threw themselves on the sand in utter despair. Old men sat silently down, faint and exhausted. And mothers' fears fell like rain over their pleading little ones, while they tried vainly to hush them to sleep. Where, meantime, was the leader ? Withdrawn a little from the rest, calm and undis mayed, he lifted up his heart iu earnest prayer. Then, with confidence that it would be answered, with brow and eyes hope-lighted still, he compelled his tired feet to larther effort. "Where is he going?" asked one and another. "There is no knowing?he is such a strange man." "Perhaps he thinks to find water?here, in this desolation!" "Only think of his bringing us all to such a pass! I do not believe we snail ever see the country he tells us about, and we cannot go back." "I wish we were back again," chimed in another. "You do? I do not, I am sure. Forced to labor beyond our strength, hardly fed or clothed, and subject always to the will of our cruel masters! I would rather, a thousandfold, risk life in attempting to gaiu freedom than remain in bondage!" "But how can we go on ? And what do we know of any such country ? I wish we had never listened to his deceitful promises." "Hold! He is not a deceiver. He really believes in a Land of Promise, somewhere in the direction we are going, and that God has called him to lead this people." "Well, perhaps he does; Dut we might have known better than to give heed to his vagaries." "Ah! there he is." "Coming so soon ? What is that in his hand?" Calmly, quietly, the man approached the little spring and threw into it a piece of wood. The young bark showed that it was just cut from a tree. A tree of peculiar properties it was, for it proved a perfect antidote to the bitterness of the waters: they were no longer bitter, but clear, sweet and refreshing. What an eager band pressed around, drinking till their thirst was quenched, and they felt new life in every limb and nerve! Mothers, their worn faces dripping with glad, grateful tears, held their children to the stream's brink. And after a night's refreshing sleep, with renewed hope and courage the travelers went on their way. Ere long they reached an oasis, where they found twelve gushing springs, and a multitude of palm trees threw their cool shadows on the soft grass. There they encamped beside the waters, enioying the rest and refreshing tenfold, for the wearying journev thither. the name of this place was Elim; and the Promised Land proved not a dream, but a rich blessed certainty, answering fully to the faith of him who led the people. You know this was Mose3, and the people were the Israelites. "Then tlii9 atory is true ?" you ask. Yes, dear children ; there are many stories in the Bible as wonderful, and more beautiful than the fairy-tides you love so well. They are mostly written very briefly, and the more you think about them, the more you And out their beauty. Let me say, our duties, and the experiences of life are sometimes like the watars of Marah (which means bitter,) and we think we cannot accept them cheerfully. But let love come into them, a real desire to be good and do good and they gradually become changed to us, till we can own them fraught with truest blessing. Children's Hour. How to Make a Mother Happy.?"Why, mother, how bright and cheerful you look tonight ! What has happened ?" "I feel very happy, my dear, because my little boy has reallv tried to be good all day. Once when his sister Katie teased him and he spoke quick and cross to her, he turned around a moment after, of his own accord, and said he was wrong, and asked her to forgive him. I believe I should grow young and never look tired or unhappy again, if every day my little boy and girl were as thoughtful, unselfish and loving as they have been to-day." Here is a grand secret for you, little ones.

DEAl GEIfTI/Y. The religion of the Bible is full of gentle- i ness. It teaches us to act kindly towards not ' only our friends, but also towards onr en? 1 mies. It makes a lamb out of a lion. 'Natu- "j rally there is something coarse in our disposi- : tions, and our judgements are often harsh and i cruel. In our unregenerated state, we love none but those who love us, and hate all those < who entertain different opinions from onr- i selves. The gospel of the blessed Jesus removes these asperities from the surface of our ' character by changing our hearts. -The gospel is full of charity and meekness. Still, one of the must difficult things in the work of the Christian is to imitate his Saviour iii his gentleness. Too often we treat with harshness, those who do not see a#wc see; and too often we are too severe in censuring.- Wje deal hard blows upon those who are guilty of sins from which ivelhink we are free. A spirit ( of excommunication rises up in lis against i those who sin, as we suppose we do not sin, ' whilst we are ready to excuse the conduct of those who are guilty of the same sins which deform our Christian character and mar our spiritual happiness. . ( We are so constituted, and so situated, that < we mast judge; but it is our duty to judge righteous judgement. There is a moral beauty in gentleness that commends it even to the ungodly. It makes the man, who possesses it, lovely," influential and happy. There is a , moral deformity in harshness that renders the possessor odious to others ; and it is a -source of misery to himself. Jesus wept over $elu- i ded Jerusalem. He hated and exposed the sins of its inhabitants, but dealt gently with the transgressors. Gentleness' is a more : powerful'weapon to demolish the strongholds of Satan than harshness. Few, if any, can he j driven by cruel treatment savingly to em- < brace the Saviour; but by gentle persuasion, 1 many can be induced to forsake theirsins and "turn unto God with full purpose of and en- , deavors after new .obedience" Deal gently with the humblest child of God, for angels are i his ministering spirits; deal gently with the 1 sinner,. Jesus loves him and advocates his 1 cause at the mercy seat on high; deal gently ! \?ntVi all Ond's erAftinrAs. for God deals crentlv 1 with you. The goodness of God, the gentleness of God, should lead us to repent of our ( harshness. , \ i "PERFECTLY WILLING TO DIE." j Well, my friend, what if she was? Must we, therefore, be sure of her salvation ? What i an unreasonable notion this is, and vet how 1 commonly received! The writer, and doubt- i less the reader, has known many instances in 1 which the bare declaration of freedom from 1 fear in view of death, was acoepted by the 1 friends of the dying as unquestionable evi- * dence of a heavenly destiny.. One who has < lived without God, never exhibiting the faintest token of a genuine work of grace in his heart, when the final hour comes, whispers to sorrowing friends, "Meet me in heaven;" or, "I am not afraid to die; I am perfectly willing to goand immediately all anxiety about 1 his salvation ceases, and when he is dead, one 1 says to another: "He is better off! He is cer- < taiuly at rest." Only a day or two ago, while ' returning from the burial of a lady who died l without having ever given any other sign of < interest in eternal things than an expression < like the above on her death-bed, the writer i overheard one friend saying to another, "Well, ' poor thing, she is better off?I am sure she is; '1 for, of course, when people are dying they know where they are going to." < Now, it is time this ipischievous error was torn up by tire roots and flung to the winds. Upon whose authority does any one believe that the approach of death brings to the view ' of the dying his eternal abode ? Has God said so ? Search his word and see. When I xl woo OOIQQVV^ 11T1? LILC Hltti Lj X Uicpn^u it (w uciwjhf . w?* der the murderous missiles of the infuriated mob, we are told: "He saw heaven opened and Jesus standing at the right hand of God." That was in the age of miracles, when supernatural visions were often granted to.men. And^yet even in that age we hear of no other instance like this. God has no where promis- i ed such a thing to his children, or threatened such a thing to his enemies, as a revelation, in the dying hour, of their future destiny. It is true that many Christians have died rejoicing, pointing their weeping friends to glorious sights which their eyes alone beheld. And it is true that many ungodly persons have died wailing and pointing in terror to the horrible scenes which rose before their maddened gaze. But can any reasonable person doubt that such dying visions are creations of the mind, : and derive their hues of light or shade, not from the real spiritual character, but from the i nature of the disease, from the education, or 1 from the temperament of the individual ? It would be easy to refer to instances in which persons of undoubted piety, whose lives had shone with uncommon lustre, approached 1 deatli with trembling, and shrank in horror from the touch of icy fingers. And quite as easy to adduce cases of notoriously wicked persons dying with calmness, and declaring their willingness to depart. "Don't tell me how he died," said one; "tell me how he lived!" Ah! that is it. Jesus < said every man shall be judged according to his deeds, not according to his death. Be- < sides, it is important to remember that many 1 dying words, which seem to be spoken under the guidance of reason, are really the utter- < ances of unconscious minds. < A gentleman, not long since deceased, an 1 eminent jurist and an eminent Christian, re- 1 lated, in the hearing of the writer, the follow- ] ing remarkable fact: He had often, while in j health, thought how glad he should be to die 1 a death which would manifest to the world 1 the value of the Christian hope, and fill his 1 " * ' 1 A. /\^ 4-lr*a!? cir\y_ 1 friends AVitn corniun m uic iuiuot 1/1 i/ucii Dv/i"j ' row for him. He had even thought of particular words which he should be glad to utter ! as his last. He was taken sick; the disease i increased in violence until at length his life was despaired of. As friends stood around him watching his failing breath, expecting the death, stroke every moment, it came to pass that he uttered the very words which he had often wished might be his last. The sentences 1 were complete, natural in structure, in even- ' particular indicating an unclouded intellect. 1 All around were impressed and comforted. But he recovered; ana when these expressions j were repeated to him, he astounded his friends by declaring that he had no recollection of 1 them?that they were unconscious utterances. 1 If he had then died, his last words might often have heen quoted to illustrate the power 1 of grace to support the dying, while in fact j they were nothing but empty sounds. The Lord grant that when Ave die we may leave ' something stronger to support the hopes of our ' friends that we rest in heaven, than dying J words or visions. The Lord help us to furn- ; ish them the evidence while we live that Ave ! are Christ's. * * * 1 4*$?'

( Lubricating substances, As oil, lard, and i tallow, applied to nibbing surfaces, greatly les- 1 Jen the amount of friction, partly by filling ' the minute cavities, and partly by separating the surfaces. In ordinary cases, or where the ' machinery is simple, .those substances are best 1 for this purpose which keep their places best. ' Finely powdered black lead mixea with lard, is for this reason better for greasing carriage.' wheels than some other applications. Drying oils* as linseed, soon become stiff by drying, ! apd are of little service. Olive oil, on the contrary, and some animal oils, which scarcely dry at all, are generally preferred. To obtain ; the full benefit of oil, the application must be i frequent According to the experiments, made with : great care by Morin, at'Paris; the friction of ' wooden surfaces on wooden surfaces is from ' one-quarter to one-half the force applied; and 1 the friction of metals on metals, one-fifth to ' one-seventh?varying in. both cases with the " " . ? v _ J kinds nsed. Wood on woon was airamisneu by liyd, to about one-fifth to one-seventh of What it was before;'and the friction of metal on metal whs diminished to about half what it was before.; that is,the friction became about ' the same in both cases after the lard was applied. To lessen the friction of wooden surfaces, lard is better than tallow, by about one-eighth or one-seventh; and tallow is better than dry soap about as two is to one. For iron or wood, tallow is better than dry soap about as five is to two. For cast-iron on cast-iron, polished, the friction with the different lubri- 1 eating substances is as follows: Water, 31; 3oap, 20 ; tallow, 10 ; lard, 7 ; olive oil, 6; lard ana black lead, 5. When bronze rube on wrought iron, the 1 friction with lard and black lead is rather . more than with tallow, and about one-fifth more than with olive oil. With steel pn bronze, the friction with tallow and with olive oil is about one-seventh less than with lard and black lead. As a general rule, there is least friction with lard when hard wood rubs on hard wood ; with oil, when metal rubs on wood, or metal on metal?being about the same in each of all these instances. In simple cases, as with parts and wagons, . where the friction at the. axle is but a small portion of the resistance, a slight variation in . the effects in the lubricating substance is of less importance than retaining it$ place. In more complex machinery, as horse-powers for thrashing machines, friction becomes a large item, unless the parts are kept well lubricated ' with the best materials. Leather and hemp bands, when used on irums fbr wheel-work, should possess as much Eriction as possible, to prevent slipping, thus i voiding the necessity of tightening them so much as to increase the friction of the ixles. Wood with a rough surface has one-half more < Eriction than when worn smooth; hence mois- } ^ningand rasping small drums may be use- ? ful. Facing with buff leather or with coarse j shgjk cloth, also accomplishes a useful pur- ' pose. It often happens that wetting or oiling ] bands will prevent slipping, by keeping their j surfaces soft, and causing them to fit more closely the rough surface of the drum.

' Editors Cultivator:?For many years past ( the columns of the agricultural press have i teemed with articles denouncing the cnlture of cotton to the exclusion of corn. This does all ( very well to write about, and looks like it was i patriotic, but if a planter can make a bale of cotton where he can make only ten bushels of j Corn, how much patriotism is there in the fact j that he has lost the difference between ten bushels of corn and five hundred pounds of cotton ? j I have long been satisfied that I can make a , bale of cotton on my light lands where I can only get ten bushels of corn; and although I am satisfied it is to my pecuniary interest to 1 make the cotton in place of corn, yet it is convenient, if not profitable, to raise the food for the stoci;. But, Messrs. Editors, is corn (I mean Indian corn and maize) the cheapest and most nutritious food for stock? From experiments that I have made for the last ten years, I am satisfied that the oat is more nutritious, , is a healthier food, and more abundant in its yield. I feed my stock entirely on sheaf oats passed through a cutting machine; they have neither corn or fodder; and, although they pull the sub-soil plow, thirty, inch Dickson sweep, and the horse hoe, they are in better \ order than my neighbor's that are gorged with corn. Now,- Sirs, with the firm belief in the superior value of oats as food for horses and mules, I have been endeavoring to get the best variety of oats, and I have got it at last In your September number, last year, there was an advertisement of a Ramsdale Swedish oat, ( raised in Vermont, of remarkable qualities. I did not notice the advertisement until Feb- | ruary, but ordered some of the seed immedi- . ately. I commenced ordering by the quart, by mail, but I was so well pleased with the appearance of the grain, that I increased the ^ order to pecks and then bushels. Suffice it to . say that I planted ten acres in these oats, fin- ' ished on the 24th of February. I gave the land bone dust, and planted half a bushel of ; seed to the acre, (there should have been three pecks,) but, notwithstanding the thin planting, ( it was the most magnificent crop I ever saw, the stalks averaging six feet high all over tho ; field. The yield was greatly diminished by a . long drouth in a most critical time for the oat, from the ninth of May until the ninth of June. Just when the milky grain was in the boot, : there was not a drop of rain. Frequent show- . ers after this brought them out, but not to give them full perfection. I am satisfied they would j liave done better planted in the ia.ll. I plant- ] ed fifteen seed in my garden from which I gath- < ered six quarts of clean grain. I gave a neigh bor a pint of seed, whicn he planted in drills, ' and gathered three bushels of oats from the , pint of seed planted. They have proved rust ' proof, as my wheat crop, all around and in J - the same field, was ruined by rust, i intend to plant some two hundred acres in them this fall, and will have some three or four hundred bushels to spare. I will send you the advertisement for your September number, and will also send you a sample of the oats by express. Very truly, yours, Chas. A. Peabody. Columbus, Ga., July 1869. Irish Potatoes from the Seed.?Editors Southern Cultivator:?Your correspondent, (Dixie Farmer,) in the August number, desires information as to the propagation of Irish Potatoes from the seed found in the ball growing on the top of the haulm. When the balls are fully ripe, he should wash free of pulp, and dry the small seeds as done with those of the tomatoes. In the spring, at about the time of sowing the tomato seed, he should plant them in good garden soil. At the first years product, he will find small tubers, from the size of a buck shot, to that of a musket ball, and that of the second year, ranging from the size of a boy's marble to that of a persimmon. The third year's cultivation will reward him with the full fized potato. He should bear in mind that sach separate vine of the first year produces a variety differing from all others; and therefore the product of each vine should be numbered ind kept separately from the others in a box ' sf sand during the following winter, in a dry ( place, out of the reach of frost, or the box so pfepar^itfay-be depbshidiin jM? toofeto hill. By good and careful cultivation, ne may expect to originate some new and:valuable variety. All should be planted and cultivated in exactly the same manner, m order to test the surliness of maturity of the different tubers. Out of a dozen or more varieties be will not fail to produce some of value, and free from the diseases induced by cultivation from the same dock of tubers in the same soil for a succession of years.
