LOVE~AND REVENGE- ' j
A correspondent in a Minnesota town writes
the particulars of a little incident that transpired
in that vicinity, which may be epitemized
^?~
A youth was deeply enamore^of a maiden,
who lived some half mile across ihe creek.
His gushing affections were rectgfoc?-ted.
Another young man in the neighborhood'was
nursing just the same sensations, only he was
minus the supreme bliss of the reciprocation.
Thereupon he plotted a scheme for revenge
upon his hated and more successful rival. It
was the custoriTpf the damsel to walk back,
of evenings, w<^ber lover to the creek, over
which he had constructed, for his own convenMj^RB|^Ha|^^Tiission,
a little foot-bridge of
one Sunday night, while

and half off from above, leaving them resting
iust as usual. Fastening one end of a clothesline
to the frail structure, he seated himself
with the other end clutched with determined
^rasp, up stream. He waited and waited?the
moments seeming hours, and the hours days,
and it was not until nearly midnight that his
listening ears were greeted by the sound of
approaching footsteps. The happy couple,
absorbed wholly in their own converse and
dreaming of no danger, stepped on the bridge
and walked slowly to the middle, the customary
place of parting. They Hug?red over the
^last words, and there were many good-bys,
_ _-JSyfc^l^v.broken-off pauses which were very"

wound the cord tight ly around hwHand, planted
his feet firmly, and just as the murmuring

within his coat-sleeve that ^

leaving the irate lover to get himself and his

I GUESS I'M THE MAN.
A farmer living in Oxford county, Maine,
went down to a town not a thousand miles
from Portsmouth, for the purpose of purchasing
a yoke of oxen, as he had- been informed
that there was a lot of very fine stock for sale
by one of the wealthy land owners of that
place. Arriving in the best farming district
of the Cumberland county town, o'ur friend
met a man driving an ox team, of whom he
epquired:
"Can you inform me where Mr. Wall
lives ?"
"There is a number of Wall's living around
here. Which one do you wish to find ?" returned
the strauger, who was a stout-built,
keen-eyed man, habited in homespun, but
beariug in general appearance unmistakable
tokens of ease and comfort, so far as finances
were concerned.
"I don't know what his Christian name is,"

some very fine oxen."
"Well," responded the stranger, "they all
own pretty fair oxen."
"But the one I wish to find has oxen for
sale."
"As for that, sir, I guess they'd any of 'cm
sell if they could only get their price."
"But," exclaimed the Oxford county man,
"the Mr! Wall I wish to find is wealthy."
. "Ye^T-wU*-1 reckon there ain't any of
? them very bad off," replied the other with a
nod.
"My Mr. Wall," continued our friend, hesitatingly,
"has been represented to me as being
a very close-fisted man, and not scrupulously
honest in all his transactions."
With a curious twinkle in his eye, and a
gentle pat upon the paunch of his near ox,
he said : "To tell the truth, sir, I guess they
are a close-fisted set all round, and I never
heard that honesty run in the family. Isn't
there something else ?"
"Yes," replied the searcher for oxen, desperately,
"they say he has been caught in the
act of robbing his own brother's chicken
coop."
The stranger bpwed and smiled.
"I guess I'm the man ; come with me and
I'll show you aB fine a stock of cattle as you
can find in the State; and if you know what
oxen are, there is no danger of being cheated."
A Good Joke.?The scene described below
is said to have taken.place in the Kentucky
Legislature in the winter of 1867 : A member
from one of the mountain counties was a
persistent reader of the Louisville Journal,
and each morning, as the House opened,
would commence reading his favorite paper;
about the same moment some member would
move to dispense with the reading of the
journal, [i. e. the record of the previous day's
proceedings,] and our mountain member
would lay down his paper. He stood this
for some time, but one morning, rising from
his seat after the usual motion, he exclaimed
at the top of his voice: "Mr. Speaker I've
sot here for more'n a week and submitted to
the tyranny of this House! Somebody, every
morning moves to dispense with the reading
of the Journal, and I've lost every paper
I've bought for a week by it: and no man
has ever moved to dispense with the Democrat
. or Courier; and, Mr. Sneaker, I won't stand
gli it any longer! Mr. Speak?." Here the
???|| balance was lost in the general laughter.
An Irish Custom.?From Rockwood, 111.,
jU we have word that Roley B., a ready witted
.j ^Irishman, stift lives, and is able to get outside.
_ n "Rolev, have you heard the news?"
l?jB"No, what news ?"
i^2"Why, the devil is dead."
' a word," said Roley, but putting his
-'?nd in his pocket, and pulling out a ten-cent
'^Mi-plaster handed it to his questioner, who
IISKawhat it was for. "Why," answered
y, "in the ould country, where I came
^55qpi, it was the custom to give the children
something when the parents died." Whereat
there was some laughter, but no more enquiries.
jf A funny limb of the law had an office
next door^to a doctor's shop. One day an elderly
gentleman, of the fogy school, blundered
into the shop.
"Is the doctor in ?"
"Don't live here," said the lawyer, who was
(in full scribble over some old documents.
"0, thought this was his office."
"Next door."
"Pray, sir, can you tell me has the doctor
many patients T'
"Not living?'
The old gentleman told the story in the vicinity,
and the doctor threatened the lawyer
with a libel.

THE OAT CROP.
We have advocated an increase of the oat
crop so often and so warmly, that we are almost
afraid our readers will regard it one of
our "hobbies." Upon that point we are not
competent judges, but we have abundant evidence
that many of the farmers of the South
agree with us, that oats are the cheapest food
for stock that they can raise. At the proper
time last fall, we vrged our readers to sow
largely of this grain. Now that the time has
arrived when another sowing may be made,
we repeat the exhoftation. Sow down in oats
all the good land you can possibly spare, and
be sure to include some you had intended for
cotton. The first open weather after the middle
of February will be a suitable time to begin,
and sowings may continue on uplands
say to the 10th of March, or later if the
ground is rich. On bottom land, sowings
may be continued until April. One bushel
to the acre will be sufficient for the early?
one and a half will be better for the late sowings,
as the plants which start late will not
have the same opportunity of multiplying by
stooling as the early sown. On good land we
prefer the brown "rust proof" oat. Unless
the land is good, however, it will not grow
high enough for the cradle, if the season is
dry. The Ramsdell Norway Oat has proved
in this section very tender and easily killed
by cold. Nearly all sown in this neighborhood
was badly injured by the freezes of last
winter, and the same thing has happened
again the present winter. v
. In connection with a small grain crop, we
would also urge the sowing of grass and clover.
Clovery requires clamor lime soils, but
some grasses will grow on almost any kind of
land. This is especially true of orchard
grass, which taking it altogether, is the best
suited to the uplands of, the South?for wet
lands red top or herds grass is better. From
the middle of February tothemiddle ofMarch
is the proper time for sowing grass and clover
seed. This may be done by scattering the
seed on the grain sown in the fall, and brushing
or lightly harrowing it in. Where the
grain is sown in the spring, immediately after
plowing in the small grain, and whilst the
ground is still loose, scatter the grass and
cldver seed, and brush or roll lightly. 15 to
20 lbs. of orchard grass, and 10 lbs. of clover
seed will be enough for one acre. On many
farms, there are patches of low grounds too
wet for cultivation. All such, not covered by
stagnant water, may be rendered very valuable
by being well set in herds grass, which is
one of the best hay grasses we have.?Southern

What Can be Done in South Carolina.?Mr.
W. A. James, residing near Bishopville,
says the Sumter Watchman, gathered,
last year, from a. twelve-acre field, an aggregate
of six hundred and twelve bushels of
corn, or fifty-one bushels to the acre. This
was in addition to a "wilderness" of peas (estimated
by him at six bushels to the acre,)
lruiu wuiuii ciguuwu iiuc pursers were prepared
for the smoke-house, and his milch cows
streamed their rich currents of milk, to say
nothing of the unusually heavy crop of fodder
gathered.
The land upon which this corn, etc., was
made, was such as, it is estimated by Mr.
James, would have yielded about thirteen
bushels to the acre, without fertilizers; applied,
were forty bushels of cotton seed and
two hundred and eighty pounds of Peruvian
Guano to the acx*e. The land was well broken
and the manure all put down two or three
weeks previous to planting. The corn was
planted about the 10th of March, in rows five
feet two and a half inches apart, with a distance
of twenty-one inches in the row, and
cultivated in the usual way.

City Life and Farm Life.?The present
age is the beginning of mighty progress in !
agriculture, and we may therefore look forward
with confidence to better cultivation, '
larger crops, improved stock, and more perfect
implements of husbandry. The intelligence
and skilled industry of the country are ;'
to be largely involved in this movement, and
it is important for us know and understand
how best to nromote this ereat obiect. The i
" " 1 * i o ? ,
auestion naturally arises, then, what-can be '
one to make farming more popular with our >
young men, so as to induce them to become
farmers and help forward this work ? We ]
must first make them feel that the pursuit of
the farmer is a dignified and honorable one; 1
that i t as honorable to be a farmer as a lawyer, t
doctor or a merchant. We must create an
enthusiasm among our boys, and teach them f
that the labor of the hand is not incompati- 1
ble with the brain. With the mind to help *
the hand, labor becomes light. We require
an earnest love for the calling. How can one i
enjoy greater independence and freedom than '
as a tiller of the soil? Think of the folly of J
exchanging the independent life of a farmer 1
to the narrow life of a clerk in one of our ci- ?
ties, doomed for a lifetime to measure tape and 1
grow effeminate behind a counter, earning t
hardly enough to pay for one's board and 1
clothes. Boys, stick to the farm; educate
yourselves for the work ; cultivate the mind i
and so add intelligence to manual toil. Make i
your home the centre of taste, refinement, f
beauty, honesty, frugality and industry, and j
out of these will spring the purest life and
tht^ioliest example. There is no object that l
^^uome, when surrounded by these adoni- i
ments which are dictated by native simplicity
and a. natural love of beauty. It is the stuff <
out of which States and empires arc built. It i
is the summit of civilization.
The Peach Borer.?At a recent meeting
of the Missouri Horticultural Society, Prof.
Riley gave some information on the peach
borer, an insect which is very destructive to

Mounding around the but of the tree is a
remedy which prevents the moth from laying
its eggs at the base of the trunk. But the
mound should be leveled down early in the
spring, and rebuilt about the first of May.
Experiment in Planting Cotton.?A
planter, near Columbus, Mississippi, experimenting
on one acre, set his cotton plants
three and a half feet apart, each way, thinning
to two stalks in the hill, and cultivating
in the same manner as with corn. The yield
was more than double that grown in the old
way, and in respect to the maturing of the
bolls, advantage was found in the readier access
of the sun.
? ?
A young farmer asked an old Scotchman
for advice in his pursuit. He told him what
had been the secret of his success in farming,
and concluded with the following warning :
"Never, Saundie, never?above all things?
never get in debt, but if you do, let it be for
manure."
t&* The grass should not be allowed to grow
around young trees after being planted, as it
stunts their growth and utterly ruins them.
The ground should be kept clean and loose
around them, until, at least, they are of bear

ROTHSCHILDS.
The three richest private individuals that
have ever been on this globe, are three brothers
by the name of Rothschild. One of them
resided in London, but died a few years ago.
It is said that when he died he had on hands
thirty-five millions of dollars. The other two
are still alive, we believe, and reside, the one
at Vienna, and the other at Paris, and are
said to be equally as wealthy as their brother.
These men are Jews, and the first thing
that is known of their particular family, took
place during the French revolution, which
commenced in the year 1790. At that time
their father, Moses Rothschild, lived at Frankfort,
in Germany. When the French army
invaded Germany, the prince of Hesse Cassel
was forced to leave his province. As he passed
through Frankfort, he called upon Moses
Rothschild, at that time a banker, in very
moderate circumstances, and asked him to
take charge of his money and jewels. The
Jew hesitated, but after much persuasion,
consented to take them upon condition that
he would not be required to receipt the prince
for them. The conditions were agreed to.
In a short time after, the French army invaded
Frankfort and carried off every thing
that they found which was valuable. Rothschild
had taken the precaution to hide the
money and jewels of the prince of Hesse Casgel
in his garden; but left his own jpcposed to
view. The French plundered and ^carried off
all that he had, which amounted at that time
to only about twenty-five thousand dollafs.
They made no search for the valuables of the
prince. They never suspected that Rothschild
had hidden away anything. So soon as
the invading army departed, the Jew opened
the money of the prince and commenced operating
with it. He began to flourish and
grow in wealth. When peace was restored,
the prince of Hesse Cassel came to Frankfort
to see Moses Rothschild about the money and
jewelc which had been deposited with him several
years before. He had little idea that he
would get them, lie Knew tnat tne 1? rencn
had been in Frankfort, and had searched every
place for moneyv and the probability was
that they had taken every thing he had left
with the Jew. He also knew that, even had
the French not succeeded in getting his money,
it would be very easy for Rothschild to
say that they did, and in that case nothing
could be done, for he had no receipt for the
deposit. To his astonishment and joy, however,
he found that Rothschild was ready, not
only to return everything that had been deposited,
but also five per cent, on the money.
Rothschild related how he had saved the
money of the prince by permitting his own to
be exposed, and that he had made free to commence
business again with the money, he had
saved. The prince was delighted that his
money was safe, and was so impressed with
the honesty of Moses Rothschild, that he per-.
mitted the money to remain with him at a
very low rate of interest, and also commended
him to many of the princes and crown heads
of Europe.
This one act gave him a reputation for hon
esty, and on several occasions he was employed
by the heads of government to raise large
loans of money by which he made vast sums
of money. It has been said that the money
of his three sons maintain the wars of Europe
and bring about peace. How true this is, we
do not know, but one Jhing we expect is true,
the Rothschilds control the money market
of the world.
A FRANK CONFESSION.
"You have come home sooner than I expected,"
said Mrs. Holmes to her son Henry,
who had received permission to pass the afternoon
with a couple of boys at the mill. The
mill was a small hamlet near Rock Pond. It
consisted of a number of houses built near a
grist mill, whose machinery was turned by a
stream from the pond.
Mrs. Holmes noticed that Henry's face did
not look as bright as usual. "Don't you feel
well ?" she asked.
"No ma'am, I don't feel very well; but I
am not sick."
Henry spoke the truth. He was, in fact, a
very truthful boy. Everybody believed what
Henry said. Is the same true of the reader ?
"Has anything unpleasant happened ?"
asked Mrs. Holmes.
"Yes, ma'am," said Henry.
Mrs. Holmes waited for him to tell her what
it was that had happened. He finally, with
a good deal of effort, said: "I have not been
as good a boy as I might have been."
"I can easily believe that; but what have
pou been doing?"
"You told me I must not go a sailing on
;he pond, and I did go." His eyes filled with
;ears.
"I am sorry to hear you say so, but I am
*lad you did not attempt to conceal your
ault. How did it happen? Tell me all
ibout it.
"We went to the mill and played a good
while, and were happy, and then we waded
jp the stream to the pond; the water was not
nor than ankle-deep anywhere. There was a
i>oat tied to atreehv the nond. and James
said, "Let us have a sail." I said I didn't
rvant to. I didn't tell the truth, for I did want
o, only I didn't wan't to do what you had
sold me not to do."
"I do not see that you did wrong in saying
vhat you did to the boys. It was not wrong
or you to desire to sail, so long as you rerained
from doing so out of regard to your
jarent's wishes."
_ "The worst of it is, I did not refrain. At
rae as I sat on a rock and saw them in a boat.
Then a man came along, and asked why I
didn't get in the boat. 'They need you to
steer,' he said; 'don't be disobliging.' Turning
to the boys, he said: 'bring the boat up
here, he'll get in.' I did get in, but I felt so
bad that I could not steer well, so the boys
got angry with me, and we had a quarrel. I
didn't mean to disobey you, but did, and I
arasorry for it."
"I freely forgive you, my dear boy, and
God will forgive you, if you pray to him."
Henry felt a good deal better after he had
thus made a confession of his fault. It is a
very common practice for young persons to
conceal their faults. Henry could have concealed
his fault, and his mother would probably
never have found out that he got into the
boat, but he would have had a very uneasy
feeling. "Wrong-doing is always attended by
an uncomfortable feeling. The best and
quickest way to get rid of it is to confess our
fault with the full purpose of forsaking it.?
The Mother's Magazine.
Jesus Christ Whispering.?"What is
conscience?" said a Sunday school teacher
one day to the little flock that had gathered
around to learn the words of life.
Several of the children answered?one saying
one thing, and another, another; until a
little timid child spoke out:
"It's Jesus whispering in our hearts."
Does Jesus whisper in your heart ? When
you do right does he approve? When you
do wrong, does he rebuke ? Does he make
your heart sad when you have sinned, and
happy when you have done rightly? Be
thankful, then, for this, and remember always
to heed the Saviour's whisper, and study his
word, and pray to know his will, and then you
will be safely guided to his heavenly home at
last.

INTEMPERANCE.
It is with a kind of ruluctance that we approach
this subject. Not that we have any
conscientious scruples about the duty of ad*,
vocating temperance in all things as a Christian
grace ; but so much has been said and so
little done to promote Bible temperance, that
we almost despair. We are ready to advocate
almost any scheme that seems likely tef
promote sobriety amongst the human family;
but it does seem that the work of reformation
must commence farther back than most of us
think. Does not the church need reformation
with respect to this thing ? The church must,
we think, use more rigid discipline with regard
to drunkenness. We do not mean Synods
and Conferences and Associations must issue
edicts on this subject. We have had enough
of these already. Those who are the constituted
rulers in the house of God?the guardians
of the Christian congregations?must re-'
gard intemperance in the light in which it is
"a_J iL. - :

and ruinous not simply to an individual's estate,
but to his soul's eternal welfare. To be
plain, the church must censure those who indulge
their sinful appetites and thus bring
disgrace upon the church~-r?dsrain upon
themselves. ;
; It is no use to abuse the poor inebriate, or
to villify the keepers of dram-shops, so long
as the professed people of God pursue the
same course unscathed. This thing o^judgiDg
a man by his profession is not scriptural.
Those who patronize dram-shops are really the
perpetrators of all the crime which originates
in them. i
Drunkenness is ruinous to soul and body,
to the individual and to the mass. Most of
the political evils which we are now suffering
had their origin in drunkenness^ It is doubt*
ful whether the guns given to th? colored
people by the rulers of South Carolina, have
done more to make a fool of the colored people,
than the vile whisky which is vended by
those in power for electioneering purposes.

PREACH CHRIST.
On one occasion the celebrated orator, Patrick
Henry, asked Dr. Archibald Alexander
what ministers of the gospel meant by preaching
so much about free grace. No doubt
many a worldly minded man has been astonished
at hearing the ministers of the go*p?^
dwelling with so much emDhasis and earnest
o A
ness upon Christ and him crucified. Why
not preach David, or Samuel, or some other
one, or all of the prophets? Why not hold
tb 'se men up before the multitude as a patera
worthy to be imitated? There are many
traits of character both in Old Testament
saints and New Testament martyrs which are
worthy of imitation ; but in strict propriety,
the gospel is not preached only when Christ
is preached. It is well enough to preach morality.
By such a course much temporal
good may be accomplished; but if Christ is
not proclaimed as the author of all genuine
morality, little will be accomplished for eternity.
To preach Christ is to proclaim him God
and man?the Saviour of sinners. The Bible,
And not reason, is to be our text book. There'
I is something about the mode of existence of
tasus Christ which no wan can undem&nd^
No human mind can comprehend the fact
that a being can have two natures, and at the
same time be but one person. The Bibles
however, does teach that Christ Jesus was
both God and man. All the attributes of
deity are ascribed to him. He is called by
names which are applicable only to God. He.
is represented as the creator and preserver of
all things. His eternity is coextensive with
that of his Father; his power and glory are
equal to that of God. In fine, whatever belongs
essentially to God belongs to Christ Jesus.
Not only so, but whatever is due from
the creatures to God, is due from them to Je.
/II _ x Ti. il . _ /? x. x.
6US L/nnsc. it is me auiy 01 men to pray to
Jesus and to extol his name. It is also the
duty of angels to worship him.
Whilst Christ is set before us in the scriptures
as the mighty God, the maker and creator
of all things, by whom kings reign and
princes decree justice; he is also presented as
the babe of Bethlehem?born in a manger?
grew up in the family of Joseph and Mary;
lived a life of poverty and affliction, $nd was
at the age of about thirty-three, cruelly put
to death on the cross between two notorious
thieves. It is admitted that this is a great
mystery. We need not try to explain how it
was that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of
God. Farther than the Bible explains, it no
man can. This is not the. only mystery in
the world. We are surrounded by mysteries,
and out own being is an inexplicable mystery.
The air we breathe, the water we drink, and
the food we eat are produced by strange combinations
and unions. We do not say they
are unions similar to that of the divine and
human nature in the person of Jesus Christ.
We know nothing beyond the facts in either
case. In the case of the union of the divine
and human natures in the person of Christ,
we know and can know nothing but what tho
Bible teaches; of the chemical unions whicb
exist in the air we breatiiejag^ljjf^g^^y
^^^^JJrjrtfjS^noth^g and can know
DOtmng Dill wnai nature reveaio. ^ A
To preach Christ, then, we concludtPH ft?
declare that he is God and man?two natures
but only one person?and the only reason
that need be given for such proclamation is
that the Bible teaches it.
To hold up Christ as an example is also included
in the idea of preaching Christ Many
men have existed who, in some particulars,"
were worthy of imitation. Job is worthy of
imitation on account of his patience; and the
meekness of Moses may be practiced with
safety; but neither Job nor Moses can be tar
ken as models in every particular. Great
and good as these men were, they had faults.
Christ alone was holy, harmless and without
sin. The ^Psalmist says he always set Jesus
before his face. No man can live a consistently
pious life in any other way. Jesus
Christ must be set before us as a patern. Happiness
in this world consists in imitating Jesus
Christ, and happinesB in heaven consists
in being like Jesus. Preaching, in the Bible
sense of that term, is nothing but presenting
and offering Christ Jesus to sinners as their
Saviour.

THE "SINGER" NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE, ,
WITH ATTA0HMEHT8 FOE ALL KIHD8 OF WORE,
Is fast winning favor in the Household, as shon^^^|
by the Sales of last year, amounting to sigh
six thousand, seven hundred and eigftyone
Machines, which far exceed-fBflLe X
of any other company!
:o:
This new FAMILY MACHINE is capable of a
range and variety of work such as was thought
impossible, a short time ago, to perform by Machinery.
We claim, and can show those whom it
may concern, that it is the cheapest, most beautiful,
delicately arranged, nicely adjusted, easily
operated, ana smoothly running of all the family
Sewing Machines. It is remarkable, not only for
the range and variety of its sewing, bat also for
the variety and different KINDS OF TEXTURE
which it will sew with equal facility and perfection,
using Silk Twist, Linen or Cotton Thread,
fine or coarse, making the INTERLOCKEDELASTIC
STITCH, alike on both sides of the
fabric sewn. Thus beaver cloth, or leather, may
be sewn with great strength and uniformity of
stitch, and in a moment this willing and never
wearying machine may be adjusted for fine work
on gauee or gossamer tissue, or the tucking of
tarletan, or ruffling, or almost any other work
which delicate fingers have been known to perform.
Purchasers can soon be convinced that our new
Family Machine embodies NEW and essential
principles?simplicity of construction?ease of
operation?uniformity of precise action at any
speed?capacity for range and variety of work,
fine or coarse, leaving all rivals behind it:
THE FOLDING CASES.
The New Family Machine may be had in a variety
of folding covers and cases. Some show in
polished surface only the grain and tint of the
wood, while others are finished in all the elaboration
of art.
:o??
THE ATTACHMENTS
For Hemming, Felling, Ruffling, Braiding, Binding,
Cording, Gathering, Tucking, Embrqjdoring,
land so forth, are not- only numerous, put now ^ .
tomughtto great perfection. Most or them can be
attached or detached by a simple move of the
hand. The quality of the work can only be fully
annreciated on observation and examination.
MACHINE TWIST;
LINEN THREAD, SPOOL COTTON, OIL, AC.
We have and shall keep in stock at oar Central
Office and Agencies (on spools of various sizes)
Twist of all sizes and colors, Linen Thread, 8pool
Cotton, Oil, and all other articles necessary in the
use of our Machines.
We wish it understood that we manufacture the
.Twist sold by us: that we shall dm to have It excel
in quality, and exceed in quantity, for a given
price, that of other manufacturers, and that the
Twist (made by us in our new and extensive
mills, supplied as they are with the most improved
machinery and aklllecMabor) can be relied on
for the desirable qualities of uniformity of size,
evenness, length of thread as marked on each
spool, strength, excellence of color, and beauty of
