He arrived at his destination late in the evening, and was invited to the cottage of a former to partake of supper, previous to the display of his eloquence. . . The former had two sons, twenty to twentyfive years of age, and to them a temperance lecturer appeared somewhat more tnan an ordinary man. Brown had great difficulty in drawing them into conversation, but at length the ice was broken, and the following colloquy was the result: "I suppose you've both affixed your names to the pledge long ago ?' queried our friend. "Which?' "I presume you are both temperance men, and nave pledged yourselves to abstain from the use of everything that intoxicates." "The which,"stranger?" "You don't get the idea, clearly. I was ex- [ pressing the hope that you do not indulge in intoxicating beverages." "Ehr "That you do not indulge in the inebriating I cup.'V' "Sirr - .. , I "Do either of yondrink iiquor t That's what I I'm trying to get at" "Wial, stranger; 111 bedogon^d," exclaim-1: ed the eldest, "I didrl*t? knbw "bUt* ye was a talkin' French jabber. Why didnt ye ax the j thing right eout? Sam and me don't drink no liauor to speak on, 'cept hayin'and harvist,; and then we drink right smart. So does fay-; ther and everybody Ground here. Ef ye talk French staff in vfer lecture, stranger, 'twon't 1 do much good, I tell ye, for nobody won't1 know a word wot you means, in this yer neck J1 0' timber, sartin and sure." I Brown declares this to be the best lesson iu I < rhetoric he ever received, and he made an \ unusual effort to adapt his words to the com- j 1 prehension of his hearers in that "neck o' r i timber." Other speakers may profit by the ': hint A Settler.?A teacher in a western county i, in Canada, while making his hist visit to his 1' "constituents,^ came into conversation with ' j an ancient "Varmount" lady, who had taken j, up her residence in the "backwoods." Of ] course, the school and former teacher curae 1 j in for criticism, and the old lad>v in speaking of his predecessor, asked:: "Wa'al, master, what ao you think he larnt the schollards ?" "Couldn't say ma'am. Pray what did he , teach?" "Wa'al, he told 'em that this 'ere ' airth was r?*md, and went round ; and all that ; sort 0' thing. Now, master, what do, you . think about sich stuff? Dou't you think he , was an ignorant feller ?" Unwilling to come 11 under 1-Via eatpomrv nf the ignorant, the teach- i er evasively remarked: "It reallv did seem ; strange stUItliere areiuauy Teamed men who teach these things." "Wa'al," says she, , "if the airth i^fcalnd, and goes round, what' holds it up /" "Oh, these learned men Say . that it goes round the sun, and |hat the sihi , holds it up by virtue of the law of Attraction.'^ ; The old lady lowered her "specs,1' and by ^ way of climax, responded:?"Wu'al, if these high larn't men sez the son holds up the airth, ? I should like tu know what holdtthe airtk Tip when the mn goes down /" Bat* A mad recently- entered a restaurant in a Western town and ordered a very elaborate dinner. He lingered long at the table, and finally wound up with a bottle of wine. Then lighting a cigar he had ordered, leisurely sauntered up to the counter and said to the proprietor: "Verv fine dinner,, landlord; just charge it to me; f haven't got a cent" "But 1 I don't know you," said the proprietor, indignantly. "Of course you don't. If you had you wouldn't let me have the dinner." "Pay for the dinner, I sav!" "And I sav I can't" ' "I'll see about that," said the pro-1 prietor;^#ho snatched a revolver out of a drawer, leaped over the cfunter and collared the man, exclaiming, as he pointed it at his head, "Now see if you'll get away with that dinner without jpaying fpr it, you scoundrel ?" "What is that ydft^nmd'm your hand ?" said 1 the impecunious customer, drawing back. "That, 8p, is a revolver, sir." "Oh, that's a revolver, is it ? I don't cai-e a straw for a revolver ; I thought it was a stomach pump !" 1 ? ? i Brooking the Nigger.?While a boy of < I ? t ? i i lourteen was nstrnig lor trout m a aeep orooK, j a stout darkey commenced teasing the lad bv throwing mud at him. The boy, although little, was smart, and swinging the butt of his i fishing rod round, Cuffee found himself in deep j water, struggling in which our friend left him i' and ran home. His dirty appearance attracted j( the attention of his mother, who was highly s indignant to think that her son had been so ; treated by a black boy, and demanded, "Did < you brook the outrage?" "No, mother," he ! replied, "but I brooked the nigger." j i When the lute Lord Erskine, then going 1 the circuit, was asked by his landlord how he had slept, he replied, "Union is strength; a fact of which some of your inmates seem to be unaware ; for had the fleas been unanimous last night, they might have pushed me out of J bed." "Fleas!" exclaimed Boniface, affecting i! great astonishment, "I was uot aware that I'J had a single one iu the house." "I don't be-' lieve you have any single ones," retorted his j1 lordship, "they are all married, and have uu- j commouly'large families." IA Quakeress, jealous of her husband, j watched his movements, and one morning ; actually discovered the truant kissing and j hugging the servant-girl. He was not long in j discovering the face of his wife, as she pee|>ed j through the half open door, and rising with all ! the coolness of a general officer, he thus ad- j dressed her: "Betsey thee had better quit! peeping, or thee wilf cause a disturbance in : the family." ? ? S&" A surgeon being once sentto a gentleman ! who had received a slight wouud in a duel, j sent his servant home with all possible speed for a particular plaster; and on his appearing > very uneasy at tne delay, the patient, turning j a little pale, said to the surgeon, "Sir, I hope ! there is no danger!' "Yes, indeed, there is," j answered the disciple of Galen, "for if the fel-; low don't make haste, the wound will heal be-1 fore he returns." OaF The other afternoon, in Buffalo, an exci- j ted individual with a well worn carpet bag in 1 one hand, an umbrella iu the other, and a shawl I hanging over his arm, accosted one of the i street gamins at the comer of Main and Ex-11 change with the question: "Say, bub! which's ! the quickest way for me to get to the Erie ; railroad depot?" "Run !" was the laconic re- j sponse.

I must &y^ f|4 }|like * 8??^ 1 many other planters, was skeptical on the sub- j ject of making a good article of Syrup out of Sorghum, ana as to Sugar, we had all come to j the conclusion it was in the Sorgho only as t grape sugar, as all had failed'to get it in any ( other form. One of Dr. Passmore's circulars ( having fallen into ipaiy hands,.ai'ter readiqg it, f I determined to go up and see him. I did so, , and found him ready to give me all the infor- ' mation I desired. I bought two sets of ma- ] chinery from him; one I put up at my home j place, the other near Reidsville, in Spartan- ( burg District. At the same time I bought my j machinery, I also bought a lot of his fresh Im- ( phee seed. - I harvested! idyfeane tfie,4hst of ( August and first September, and set my works ( it! nnoMfmn of nrw>p T must sav I WHS COIU- , Ill V|lVlWiWVU vmvw* ? ? ? _ - ^ pletely taken by .siu-prise when I turned off , ray first batc-hof syrup, at its clear, bright appearance and delicious flavor; all the peculiar , acid of the sorghum was gone, and with it that nauseous vegetable matter that made it so | disgusting to the laste of many wheit, ma^in ' our old way* TlioW have on thy t?VTo a'syi-up / made on my own farm fit for thd table of an , epicure, and a great deal superior, in ray opin- < ion, to any of the chemical syrujxs sold in your.! , city from the North. As to sugar, I have not , made a batoh of syrup that has not shown j strong tendencies to granulate. If you drop { it on the floor, or head of a barrel you are , filling, in a few moments it is sugar; aud at ] the presentriting aljh my barrdr rrfysfttjiP < have la^*qna?titi?^^ifectil5";g^yafed ] sugar in them. I had no room suitable for j granulating my syrups, ;but I am perfectly , satisfied if 1 had, all my granulating boxes ] would hav*?*- bean. fall 6f dense nainsh sugat. j Dr. Passmore, it hisl\^ks J&r (jrefcnvjllej , has near five thousand pounds of mush sugar. ? Mr. Alfred Taylor, near Chick Springs, has j fifteen or twenty boxes. j Mr. T. S. Arthur, Jr., of Pickens District, , aud others, who have worked the process fhe , past season, speak of it in the highest terms ] ?all have made a complete success. I know , the process is all that is claimed for it, and , that a fiue article of both syrup and sugar can ] be made with less cost and trouble than our j old way of nuakirig inolasses. There is no , handling the juice or syrup?the juice flows j from the mill to the first deficators, thence j through swing pipes and disk to the coagula- ] tore, thence through pipes to second deficators, j thence through swing pipes to fiuishing pans, and thence to cooler in sugar house. The pro- i - i ? it I, cess is very last nia&iug, on me siutmeuu u?l fery 125 to 150 gallons of syrup a day, with , leas labor than it used to take me to handle , twenty-five gallons. 1 When I first commenced, great prejudice ] existed against sorghum and the humbug pro- ; cess of making it, ( as they called it); but all , are now satisfied of its success and great use- ^ fulness, and a great many who said they would never plant an acre are now making their ar- , rangeinentsto plant the coming season. Now, > Mr. Editor, as this new enterprise has proved a success beyond doubt, it opens up to our , Southern planters a new source of wealth, and ; more especially to those on our own sea-board, , who have failed so often in their crops. In sorgho we have the surest crop we can plant; , no caterpillar can destroy it, and although , drouth affects it, nothing to compare with any other crop. I noticed the last season corn i fields blasted and almost without a single ear, : near a field of sorghum that looJfpd green and beautiful, aud when ground turned out sixty- , five to seventy-five gaHoDs of syrup. The , syrup brings easily in our up country from SI , to $1.25 a gallon. The sugar will class with j best Orleans. Now we ask our cotton friends ] to look into this business, atid see if it don't : show abetter thing than cotton, without any ; of the uncertainties attending it. Themachin- j ery costs comparatively nothing to work up j fifty or one hundred acres of cane. The two, with royalty, will cost $650. It will work up fifty acres. The No. 2 from $750 to $850; will work up from 100 to 200 acres. Four pounds of seed will plant an acre ofland. 1 This can be obtained from Mr. Passmore, at ! Breenville, at a cost of 15 cents per pound, the tame he pays those who raise the seed for him. 1 Now I believe in the maxim, "diversified in iustry?a nation's prosperity." We of the ' South have gone too long on the one idea system | af planting. Let us look into and take hold of 1 ill new discoveries that will help build up our old State once more. * j * * S. R'. WESTMORELAND. |HmtersvUle, So. Ca. \ Tiie Staff of Life.?A year ago the press uf the whole Scuth urged the planter to direct [lis first and' sturdiest efforts to the cultiva- 1 tion of breadstuff's. Three years' experience of cotton planting had proved that it was un- ' wise to risk a fortune on one cast of the die, ' and that it was useless to make cotton for sale J at a high price if the proceeds were to be con- ' sumed m buying bread and meat We have now the results of another season before us; a season of desperate exertion and unusual cost. Larger sums than ever before ! were spent in fertilizing the soil, strenuous at- j tempts were made to produce a mammoth ; crop of our staple, and the end of it all is,?a ' cotton crop 400,000 or 500,000 bales larger 1 than that of last year, and a general scarcity 1 of corn. In this State the cotton crop will be' 1 less than it was in 1868, and corn must be . bought steadily until a new crop comes in. : That they cannot be independent while they trust to one crop alone, the most obsti- ' nate planters will learn in time. Why will they not try the experiment now, and plant full crops of cereals in this new-born year? With well-filled eorn cribs, with a full supply ( of hay and fodder, with a stock of cows and * sheep, they cannot come to want. They can, besides, command at all times the best labor in the markets. And we firmly believe that they can make more hard money by diversifying the crops than by giving all their health, wealth and strength to cultivating cotton. 1 alone. The cotton which bleaches the fields may crown our hard endeavor, but what we lean on most is?bread, the staff of life.?Charles- 1 ton News. 1 INVENTION OF A STEAM PLOUGH. ] A new steam plough, recently invented ; in Rochester, which has attracted great attention among the farmers in that region, is de- ' scribed as follows: "This steam plough is an ordinary double cylinder steam engine and ( boiler, mounted on two main wheels, five feet . in diameter, of eight inches in tread?two smaller ones being placed in front for guiding ?and weighing altogether about two tops. ' The distinguishing feature lies in the main or * driving wheels. The rim of each wheel is per- " forated in twelve equj-distant places, ^pd through the apertures twelve spoon-shaped "anchors," each seven inches long by five inches wide, are made to operate in the following way: [ 1 As the wheels revolve, the anchors are made j to protrude from and enter the earth to any < desired depth, withdrawing as they pass under J i the centres of the wheels, and thus, it is us- J1 sorted, obviating all back strains, and its con-! i sequent waste of power. The hold taken on 1 the ground by the anchors is reported to be so 1 great as to withstand almost any strain; and ] m case they meet with an obstruction through 1 which they cannot penetrate, the springs < which hold the cams and levers in position i recoil to allow them to withdraw into the ] wheels until the resisting object has been passed ? over."

Some persons, with the b4t of motives, advocate ;he untenable doctrine that without a revelation from heaven, we can discover nothing by he light of nature. Others assume the equaly untenable position that the light of nature s of itself sufficient, and that there is no need )f the Scriptures. There is danger connected .vith both these theories. God is dishonored )v both ptiriies, in .that his works are iii both nstances treated with contempt. No man does God any honor by saying that ;he light of nature is insufficient'to discover iny troths; "but on the contrary casts a seri>us reflection on his Maker's works. Nor loes any man speak advisedly, who says that h'e light jbf nature renders a fuller and clearer evelation unnecessary. There can be no reasonable doubt that the ight of nitilfe was sufficient, when Odd creaed man, tor all the purposes for which it was lesigned; but it would be worse than speculaion, to s&y that man never would have needid any other revelation if he had kept Ids first state. This conclusion can be reached in no >ther way than by sujpposing that the light of lature, as it existed in man before the fall, nade him omnicient But, since the fall, the light of nature is not is penetrating as it was before the fall. The (visest men are constantly making egregious blunders which have their origin in ignorance. Those things* which are-of most importance to be understood well, are not understood at ill; other things are seen as through a glass larkly. Without the Scriptures, tne origin if the human race, tlie creation of the world, md the introduction of sin into our world, are Involved in impefietrable darkness. The jpeculations of the most scientific men with regard to the creation of the world, when the Bible is.uotmade the guide, are wild and fanciful. The light of nature never oan reveal iow sin entered our world. It can discover ;he.?fact, but how or when sin entered our A orld are as difficult to account for without a revelation as it is for man to account for the introduction of sin into heaven. The Bible loes not inform us how,Mr under what circumstance Satan sinned. It merely reveals the fact, and that is all that we know or ever can know until God sees fit to reveal it to us by * 1-*? T-a. t_ xl__A Jl motner revelation. 11 may oe Uiat we uevei will know how it was possible for sin to enter heaven. One thing is cure, the simple fact ia ill that we know at present, and this knowledge is due to the Bible. ' The light of nature never could make the discovery. The teaching of the Bible in reference to the introduction of sin into the garden of Eden is of vital importance. The light of nature can discover [he existence of the racfc that sin reigns in our bodies, but the Bible reveals how man, made in the image of God, became a sinner. The consequences of sin are experienced by us all. They are fearfW $nd wide-spread. The whole creation is cursed. We see this with our eyes and feel it in our bodies. The air we breathe is loaded with disease and death, There is no difficulty in making this discovery, but it is impossible, without a revelation from heaven, to discover a way of escape from the direful consequences of sin. The light of nature never can make this discovery; The world by wisdom, merely human, never can discover how we can escape the wrath of God in this life and that which is to come. Lay the Bible aside and not one trace of any thing that resembles pardon and forgiveness can be seen, in either tne works of creation or providence. We need a revelation from heaven to make clear to us those things which are discovered obscurely by the light of nature, and to reveal those things whieh are of vital importance tc us as immortal beings, and yet are beyond the reach of the light of nature. Without the Bible, man, under the most favorable circumstances, has never advanced in a moral and social point of view above a serai-sdvage. The only way that virtue and vice can be distinguished is by an appeal to the Scriptures. Nc man can learn his duty?what he must do and what he must not do?by the light of nature Neither can any man learn how to discharge bis duty without the revelation contained in the Scriptures. \ ; ^ [Original.] J- THE TURNING POINT. The most critical period in our lives is be tween boyhood and manhood. We then take the path that leads to usefulness or rush head long into the ways of infamy and ruin. Our destiny seems then to be suspended for a mo meat upon a pivot. A wrong step may seal our destiny for tame and eternity, whilst a decisive stand, taken on the side of virtue, may strew our path through' life with flowers. At this critical period there are some thingt carefully to be avoided and other things punctually to be performed. Then we are undergoing a most critical examination. W* :e and prudent men are pondering every word we utter, and critically watching every act we perform. They do not expect to find us as wise as the grey headed sire, but they do expect ue t? walk in wisdom's ways. They expect us to start life's journey In the practice of virtue ivnd morality. The things to be avoided at this period are idleness, bad company and irregular and irreligious conduct. The easiest way any young man ever undertook to blight bis temporal prospect, blast his hopes for eternity and render himself a curse to society, is to turn idler at twenty-one. It is hard to imagine the dwarfing effects which idleness has upon the soul. It heggars words to describe it. Any trade oY occupation, however humble and degraded it may be regardad, is preferable to idleness. A man may sweep the streets and be as happy as a King und as holy as a saint; but no man can play idler and be either happy or holy. Idleness leads us to associate with bad men, and associating with bad men leads us to associate ultimately and forever with lost spirits. Irregular conduct at twenty-one may keep lis out of useful and lucrative positions all our days. Irreligious conduct may cast a suspicion upon every act of our live*, and cause us to heave many a bitter sigh. It may be that in the exercise of His wonderful grace, God may reclaim the wayward youth and make a child of Jesus of him in his old age; but this is very doubtful, and even if such should be the case, the sins and faults of our youth are no honor to us in old a^e. The recollections of our past sins are always attended with pain. The sins of our youth cover our moral characters with scars which we see aud feel although they may he invisible tn nfl.oru mav nanlon the crimes which produced these moral deformities, but He uever removes them. Like the cuts which may have been inflicted upon our bodies, the)1 may heal up and get well, but the marks oi the wound goes with us to the grave. The July way by which a young man can expect to spend a serene old age, loved and respected by his associates and enjoying the approbation of his own conscience and basking in the smiles of his heavenly father, is by being diligent in business, fervent in spirit serving the Lord. [Original.] KINDNESS. There are some things that cpst us very lit Lie and yet they are worth more to us in oui journey through life than coffers of gold. It costs us 110 more to be courteous in our maty tiers in our associations with our fellow men than to be harsh and morose. Yet the formei jecures tor us the esteem and respect of ali those with whom we have any dealings, and the latter makes us hated and detested. Wt lose sight of our own interest when we resorl to harshness to accomplish our ends. In nine cases out of ten more can lie done by kindnesf than even by force. Brute beasts appreciate kindness and reciprocate it, but their mali cious passions are aroused by harsh treatment Cruel treatment may make us feared anc dreaded* btit never day edand revered. :Thei;e | is far more power in a smile than a scowl. 0 God deals very kindly with all his creatbres. The last thing He does is to treat any i of His creatures harshly. Never does He re-1 sort to this but when kindness will answer no purpose. He hears and answers theory of the, young lion, watches the falling of a sparrow opens His hand and liberally supplies the wants of every thing that lives. He crowns ; his people with loving kindness and tender* mercy. The kind treatment which we receive from God should incite us to be kind and gentle to all those with whom we are brought in | contact. We would thus open up a fountain of pure bliss from which we may always quaff draughts of fruition. ? / f || farfcviUc (^quircr.
