There are a great many kinds of doctors? big doctors and small doctors, old school doctors, and doctors of the new school, and doctors without any schooling whatever. There are doctors of laws, and doctors of sons-inlaw ; ear doctors, and doctors difficult to get the ear of; tooth doctors, nail doctors, and doctors who go at you with tooth and nail; eye doctors, and I. O. U. doctors; eclectic doctors, electric doctors, and doctors not of the elect, who go it mostly .on tick. Thus ;we have cold-water doctors, and doctors who "straw" it a good deal; root-doctors, and doctors whose motto is, "Root hog or die 1" Spiritual doctors, and doctors very much out of spirits; magnetic doctors, and doctors who haven't any magnetism in them?or much else; laying-on of hands doctors, and doctors who will take anything they can lay their hands on, except, perhaps their own physic. Sweat doctors are numerous. If they don't sweat their patients, their patients sometimes make'tHem sw^at. And there are a few doctore who are compelled to sweat around a good deal to get their pay. Among Indian doctors are the full-bred, half-bred, corn-bred, and doctors never bred at all?at least not bred to medicine?the latter class being far the most numerous. As a general thing, Indian doctors, as they call themselves, know nothing whatever about Indians; many of them never saw one. But that is nothing strange in medicine. Men have nracticed medicine all their lives with out enjoying the slightest acquaintance with it. Herb doctors are popularly supposed to spend a large portion of their time in meandering through the fields culling herbs. Nothing of the sort Lots of them wouldn't know catnip from "penny-rile" if they saw them growing. They cull their herbs at the druggist's. There are lung doctors and doctors with very little lungs, although tolerable livers. Doctors are good livers as a general thing. The throat doctor appears m a variety of forms not strictly recognized in medicine. The hangman is the most thorough throat doctor we have. His remedy?a stricture of hemp?rarely fails to cure the most obstinate throat difficulty. Few persons have ever been heard to complain of tneir throat after the first application. Bar-aeepers are another variety of these doctors, whose mixtures, also, are too familiar to many people. Cold water is the safest thing for the throat as an inward application. pAmvii* rlrt/ifAiKi worn nnifn nnnn 1 o * onmn I ^rr uvvwio nwiw V|UIW ovrnv ; years ago. They don't pepper so much as they did, though many doctors are peppery enough. Mustard doctors are in the array for the most, unless they are mustered out. .Caocer dootors are almost as numerous as cancers themselves. Every cancer doctor exhibits so many cancers he has taken out that I have sometimes wondered if they didn't take it out in cancers. I was once shown a tumor so large I asked the doctor if space was valuable, why he didn't stick his patient away in a glass jar, and let the tumor walk' around. Cora doctors should not be overlooked. Some of them are very skillful in taking off a obra. A corn doctor took off a corn for me once, and he took it off so far it was nearly a week before it got back again. No man who hasn't horse sense has any business trying to be a horse doctor, although he may get a diploma to doctor men. Even the constitution of a horse may be broken down by unskillful treatment, yet in selecting a physician for ourselves we occasionally forget that. The horse doctor sometimes gets racte kicks than coppers, though he is one of the few privileged persons who is excused for looking a gift horse in the mouth. The healthiest town I ever knew was out in Illinois, one Summer, when the doctors went .bast to attend a medical convention, neglecting to return for several months. The doctors found, when they did get back, that their patients had all recovered, the drugstores had busted, nurses had opened dancingschools, the cemetery was cut up into building-lots, the undertaker had gone to making fiddles, and the village hearse nad been gaudily painted and sold for a circus-wagon! Although I have metaphorically gone for the doctors, let nothing I have said be construed as reflecting upon them as a class. They are good humored, and can, therefore, take a joke, and for the most part are charitable and humane. I have a good many friends among the doctors, yet they are the very last men I want to call on.?"Fat Contributor - ? An innocent, honest yeoman, from Big Creek, was in our office yesterday, contemplating in wrapt attention Hart's painting of the game of life and death. The poor fellow in the painting has lost everything?is checkmated?and his guardian angel looks down pityingly, while grim Death grins grievously. The gooid man's bosom was surcharged with strong emotions. He was conscious of keen sympathy with the loser. In fhct, he thought he recognized the likeness, and was told it was a picture of a noted prosecuting attorney. The truthfullness of the painting burst suddenly upon him. "It's bad; haint it ?" he ?T olliia All Ck UTAH 1/1 VtJ KUVU^UU UV IlVUiU corad to that end ; but thfe devil is a durned fool.

Anecdote of the Road.?A lawyer, riding through a town, stopped at a cottage to inquire the way. The lady of the house told him he must keep right straight on for some time, and then turn to the right; but said that she herself was going to pass the road that he must take, and that if he would wait a few minutes she would show him the way. "Well," said he, "bad company is better than none?make haste." After jogging on five or six miles, the gentleman asked if he had not yet come to the road he must take. "Oh! yes," said she, "we passed it two or three miles back; but I thought 'as bad company was better than none,' I would keep you along with rae." S6?*In Scotland they have narrow, open ditches, called sheep drains. A man was riding a donkey one day across a sheep-pasture, and when the donkey came to a sheep-drain he would not go over it So the man rode him back a short distance, and turned him around and put the whip to him, thinking, of xl _ A _ J__l _ /? i. 1J course, mat me aonaey, going so iast, wouiu jump the drain before he knew it. But not so. On they came, and when the donkey got to the drain he stopped all of a sudden, and the man went over Mr. Jack's head. No sooner had he touched the ground than he got up, and, looking the donkey straight in the face, he said: "Very well pitched. But how are ye going to get over yourself?" "Let me Alone."?An Englishman and a German were traveling together in a diligence, and both smoking. The German did all in his power to draw his companion into conversation, but to no purpose; at one moment he would, with a superabundance of politeness, apologize for drawing his attention to the fact that the ashes of his cigar had fallen on his waistcoat, or a spark was endangering his neckerchief. At length the Englishman exclaimed, "Why can't you leave me alone? Your coat tail has been burning for the last ten minutes, but I didn't bother you about it." + Jgy* A little Buffalo girl wants to know if fleas are white?because her uncle told her that "Mary had a little lamb with fleas as white as snow." g?partracnt. IF I WERE A SUNBEAM. "If I were a sunbeam, I know what I'd do: I would seek white lilies Rainy woodlands through. I would steal among them, Softest light I'd shed, Until every lily Raised its drooping head." "If I were a sunbeam, I know where I'd go: Into lowliest hovels, D&rk with want and woe; Till sad hearts looked upward, I would shine and shine; Then they'd think of heaven, Their sweet home and mine." "Art thou not a sunbeam. Child, whose life is glau With the inner radiance Sunshine never had? . Oh I as God hath blessed thee, Scatter rays divine, For there is no sunbeam But must die or shine." Bonnie Christie?Two boys were in a school-room alone together, when some fireworks, contrary to the master's express prohibition, exploded. The one boy denied it; the other, Bonnie Christie, would neither admit nor deny it, and was severely flogged for his obstinacy. "When the boys got alone again: "Why didn't you deny it ?" asked the real delinquent. "Because there were only us two, and one of us must have lied," said Bonnie. "Then why not say I did it?" "Because you said you didn't, and I would spare the liar." The boy's heart melted?Bonnie's moral gallantry subdued him. When school resumed, the young rogue marched up to the master's desk, and said, "Please, sir, I can't bear to be a liar?I let off the squibsand burst into tears. TKio maatpr'a pvo orliat^nftrl nn t.hfl Hfilf-ftenu ser, and the unmerited punishment he had inflicted on his schoolmate smote his conscience. Before the whole school, hand in hand with the culprit, as if they were paired in the confession, the master walked down to where Christie sat, and said aloud, with emotion: "Bonnie, Bonnie, lad, he and I beg your pardon: we are both to blame." The school was hushed and still, as older schools are apt to be when any thing true and noble is being done?so still, they might have heard Bonnie's big boy tear drop proudly on his copy-book, as he sat enjoying the moral triumph which subdued himself as well as the rest; and when, for the want of something else to say, he gently cried, "Master forever!" the glorious shout of the scholars filled the man s eyes with something behind his spectacles, which made him wipe them before he resumed the chair. The King and the Ants.?According to Jewish and Mohammedan tradition, King Snlnmnn mVirt ma a mi CO hovnni) oil ntllpr mPtl W.uujvsu, "v " . ? ? knew the language of animals, and could talk with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. A rabbinical story is told of him, which is in this wise: "One day the king rode out of Jerusalem with a great retinue. An ant-hill lay directly in his way, and Solomon heard its little people talking. "'Here comes the great king,' he heard one of them say. - 'His flatterers call him wise, and just, and merciful, but he is about to ride over us, and crush us without heeding our sufferings.' "And Solomon told the Queen of Sheba, who rode with him, what the ant said. "And the Queen made answer: 'He is an insolent creature, 0 king! It is a better fate than he deserves, to be trodden under our feet?" "But Solomon said: 'It is the part of wisdom to learn of the lowest and weakest.' And he commanded his train to turn aside and spare the ant-hill. "Then all the courtiers marveled greatly, and the Queen of Sheba bowed her head and made obeisance to Solomon. " 'Now I know the secret of thy wisdom. Thou listenest as patiently to the reproaches of the humble as to flatteries of the great.' "? John 0. Whittier. I A Good Example.?All the children were wondering what they could do for "our baby." Baby is a year old, and can walk and almost talk. She notices everything, and looks as if she would like to give her opinion about everything the others do. Katie thought she would like to try and make her a dress all by herself, but Nellie said, "Mamma, don't you think it would be better for us to make her something together?" "I have been thinking," said their mother, "that there is something I would like you to do for her. Baby needs a good example set her far more than any pretty thing you could make her this morning. When you aud Katie were quarrelling over the baby-house, I saw her watching you all the time. Do you want her to do so when she grows up?" "Oh, no, indeed!" they both said, looking ashamed. "Then you musn't let her see you do it. She imitates you in all she can. Now here is something you can help each other do for dear baby: have only loving words and acts between each other. If she sees only these, she will be far more likely to grow up loving and gentle herself."?Child's Paper.

The teacher crossed the room and stood by another, who had been Willie's companion. "Freddie, were you not gone for the water longer than was necessary ?" For an instant Freddie's eyes were fixed on the floor, and his face wore a troubled look. But it was only for an instant?he looked frankly up to his teacher's face. "Yes, ma'am," he bravely answered ; "we met little Harry Braden and stopped to play with him, and then we spilled the water and had to go back." Little friends, what was the difference in the answers of the two boys? Neither of them told anything that was not strictly true. Which one of them do you think the teacher trusted more fully after that ? And which was the happier of the two? "Mother, mother," cried a young rook, returning hurriedly from its first flight. "I'm so frightened! I've seen such a sight!" "What sight, my son ?" asked the rook. Oh! white creatures, screaming and running, straining their necks, and holding their heads ever so high. See, mother, there they go J" "Geese, my son; merely geese," calmly replied the sapient parent bird. "Through life, child, observe, that when you meet any one who makes a great fuss about himself, and tries to lift his head higher than the rest of the world, you may set him down at once to be a goose." 1 ? J6T "I'll tell your mother of you," said one little girl to another. "Tell her," answered Maggie; you cannot tell her anything naughty of me that I don't tell her myself." That is right. Let every boy and girl tell mother when they do wrong, and I am sure they will not keep doing it. An old farmer said to his sons: "Boys, don't you ever wait for for a summit to turn up. You might just as well go an' sit down on a stone in the middle of a medder, with a pale atwixt your legs, an' wait for a cow to back np to you to be milked." "George," asked the teacher of a Sunday-school class, "who, above all others, shall you wish first to see when you get to heaven ?" With a face brightening up with anticipaI tion, the little fellow shouted, "Gerliah J" paling Ut the JFxiixik. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [.Original.] SAUL. In the history of Saul, the first king of Israel, some very remarkable events transpired. The life of Saul was a failure?full of grave blunders, both in a moral and political point of view. Still many very important lessons may be learned by carefully studying Saul's history. Some of the incidents which took place in his history are, when not carefully examined, strange and mysterious. A care-1 ful examination of all of these incidents can* * .1 * X? ot iau to oe ootn interesting ttiiu pruuuiuje to the Christian. Soon after Saul commenced to reign over the children of Israel, the Philistines, the bitter and constant enemies of Israel, gathered themselves together to fight against the Israelites. The Israelites seem to have been greatly demoralized. Some of them fled from the country, and those that followed Saul did it tremblingly. There seems to have been some understanding between Saul and Samuel that the latter would, at a certain time, come to Gilgal. The understanding was that Saul would remain at Gilgal for seven days, during which time Samuel would come to him in order to discharge his duties as priest for the army and Saul, before going into the battle. Samuel did not arrive until late, perhaps on the seventh day. The people commenced to scatter. They were anxious to get some excuse to leave. Saul grew impatient and ordered a burnt offering and peace offerings to be brought to him, and because Sam.%?! nian faaIt if nnnn ViimoolT fn UC1 WOO UUb bUCIC ao luua IV Ujiuu KW offer up the burnt offering. No sooner had Saul completed the work of sacrificing, than Samuel came and at once rebuked Saul severely for this act "Thou hast done foolishly," said Samuel, meaning by the word "foolishly," wickedly. Acoording to the constitution of the Jewish nation, Saul had no right to officiate at the altar. He did not belong to the sacridotal tribe. > We might be led at first to conclude that this act of Saul's was an evidence of piety. Such, however, is not the case. It was an evidence of the want of piety. True and genuine piety consists in doing our duty and confidingly leaving the results with God. Saul attempted to force results. He undertook to secure the favor of God by doing an act which it was not lawful for any one but a priest to perform. Saul could have profitably at that critical juncture of affairs engaged in prayer. That he did do this, we have no evidence. The probability is that he did not. This act of Saul shows that he was of an impetuous nature, and that like most of us, be had very little confidence in the providence ? ^ * -r. i .? j n i 1 j 4 1 J Ot <jod. it snows mat oaui naa not learneu to "rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him." It shows more than this. We may infer that religious acts are sometimes evidences of a want of piety. This may seem to be a plain contradiction; but are not the religious acts of all of us sometimes the evidence of our sinful lives and more sinful hearts ? I do not mean that these religious acts are acceptable to God, nor do I say that these acts are really religious acts, but to human appearance they seem to be such. In fact they spring from fear and dread, and many other causes, none of which resemble faith. After this unfortunate occurrence, Samuel went from Gilgal to Gibeah, and Saul and the army which he was able to control, went there too. The Philistines encamped, it is said, in Michmash. Gibeah, Jerusalem and Michmash, were all in close proximity, which ^hows that the Philistines had pretty well overrun the whole country. Whilst the two armies were thus encamped, it seems that Jonathan, the son of Paul, proposed to his armor bearer to make an attack upon a garrison of ttie rnilistmes. it ib evident irom me connections, that Jonathan made known his plans to no one but his armor bearer. According to all the rules of warfare, this was an unwise and rebellious act. No doubt, however, Jonathan went in accordance with the Divine intimation. The garrison of the Philistines is taken by Jonathan and his armor bearer, and a general rout of the Philistines commenced. Soon Saul and the whole army of Israel join in the battle and the Philistines are smitten with a great slaughter. Saul, in order that he might accomplish as much as possible, issued an order that no man should eat any thing during the day. He backed the order with a curse. This was another foolish act. His greed defeated his design. The soldiers became hungry, faint and weak, and consequently many of them were not able to pursue the Philistines to much advantage. Like many a one since him, Saul attempted to accomplish too much, and the result was, he did very little. It would have been eminently proper in Saul to have issued an order forbidding plundering; but it was foolish to forbid struggling soldiers to take any food. Jonathan, who seems not to have been present when this foolish order was given out, whilst passing in the pursuit of the enemy, put forth the rod or staff which he had in his hand, and took up a piece of honey comb and eat it. Night came on, and after the people had gorged themselves with food, Saul proposed to pursue the Philistines and spoil them during the night. In this proposition there is much of the coward, tyrant and ' i v _ _i mad-man. nis soiaiers were weary, ana many Israelites were at that time residing amongst the Philistines, and hence the expedition would have been attended with much damage to many innocent families. The priest, Ahiah, who seems to have arrived in the camp after Samuel left, proposed that God be consulted with regard to this expedition. God, however, in his wisdom, refused to give any answer respecting the proposed pursuit. Saul, and no doubt the whole array, came to the conclusion, that some sin had been committed, and that God was angry with them. Saul, in a self righteous spirit, proposed that a test be made, and that he and his son Jonathan be on one side and the people on the other. It seems that the matter for which the lot was proposed to bo cast, was to discover who had violated Saul's wicked and imperious order. Saul and Jonathan were taken and the people escaped. Lots were then cast between Saul and Jonathan, and Jonathan was taken. Saul, in a vindiotive spirit, declared that Jonathan must be put to death ; but the people interposed and recued him. The question might be asked, "Did Jonathan sin against God in eating the honey which he found in the woods ?" We answer most positively, no. He^is not charg ed by God with any crime. The lot only declared that Jonathan had violated the order of Saul. This was the truth, and Jonathan readily acknowledged that he had eaten a little honey; but asked if it were possible that he would be put to death for such a thing ? The people magnanimously said no, and Jonathan was rescued from the hands of a foolish king and cruel father. We are not to conclude because, the lot fell upon Jona- j than that therefore he was guilty of any sin i against God. I JVgrifultural f^jrattmeot. From the Southern Cultivator for November. THOUGHTS FOR THE PRESENT MONTH. Cotton has opened this season so rapidly, that probably little remains to be picked. We have never known it to open so early and so rapidly. If crowding it on the market has worked detriment to the farmer by depressing prices, the early gathering of the crop may be of great advantage in clearing the way for next year's operations. One of the greatest evils of.cotton planting, is thenncessant labor it requires from January to January again. This year some two months will be liberated from its exacting demands. This will give an opportunity for putting wheat in nicely, and pressing forward the turning over of land. Select a dry time for ploughing in the seed. Experience has shown this to be a very important element of success. Two acres of very rich land will furnish a family with bread ; surely every farmer in the South can afford to sow that much. FALL PLOUGfllNG. Procrastination is natural to most of us. We need the spur of a present necessity to urge us forward. One says, "I shall have a plenty of time after Christmas to break up all my land. I have always done it heretofore and can do it again." Perhaps he forgets, however, that there have been seasons when in order to get it done after Christmas, he was obliged to plough when his judgment told him it was too wet. Granting an abundance of time, however, it is vastly better to plough before than after Christmas. Land turned over in the fall, will invariably be soft and mellow in the spring?this cannot always be said of that turned over in the spring. The air will have brought its chemistry to bear on the former, and the frosts will have pulverized it vastly better than clod-crushers, harrows and other human implements could have done. The vegetable matter turned under will have had a longer time to decompose and get ready to nourish the succeeding crop, and last of all, abundaut experience has de raonstratea that crops grow oetter on lauploughed than spring-ploughed land^ Ih spring-ploughing, the land, as said before, is very apt to be too wet. Even if the surface is dry enough, the underlying clay may be, and often is, entirely too wet, and at each successive breaking, the plough presses and solidifies the soft plastic clay into a compact layer or "hard-pan" through which water can neither descend nor ascend with auy degree of facility. Again, packing rains are likely to fall soon after spring ploughings; these run the land together and cut off the entrance of the air, with all its beneficial results. In addition, it is bad policy to throw this hard work on the mules so late in the season, giving them no time to rest, and prepare for the exhausting work of spring and summer. It is very important to begin* the planting of a crop with stock in the best possible condition. A very common mule in good condition will carry his row with a really fine mule, if the latter is puur turn wuru uutvu yy 1 in pjcviuuo ucavj work. Discussing the relief of work stock' oq the i farm, brings up again the question of waterpower for ginning and other like operations. We desire to awaken attention to this very important matter, and the present is a fitting time for "prospecting," because it is one of comparative leisure, and the streams being low at this season, one would not be led to over-estimate the amount of water at bis command. The first thing to be ascertained is the amount of water available. This can be done by selecting some place in the stream where there is the greatest fall, and turning the water iuto a trough nearly level, letting it fell into a barrel or hogshead, and observing accurately with a watch the time necessary to fill it. Half dozen or more of these "timings" should be made, and the average or mean result taken. From the known capacity of barrel, calculate the amount of water for one minute in cubic feet. The next point is to ascertain the amount of fall which can be had. This may be done by running a level line with an ordinary rafter level from highest point in branch to a point opposite to that in the branch where it is supposed the gin ought to be placed. Having reached this point, place an ordinary carpenter's level in position at the ground, ana sight along its upper surface, and mark the point where the line of vision strikes a pole held upright in the branch. The distance between this point and the surface of the brauch gives the required fall. Having the amount of water and the foil, the power of an overshot wheel may be computed by the following rule: Multiply the weight of water 111 109. aiscnargea upon ine wheel in one minute, by the distanoe in feet from the centre of the opening in the gate to the surface of the tail race; divide the product by 33,000 and three-fourths of the quotient obtained will be the horse-power. Example : The volume of water discharged upon an overshot wheel is 100 cubic feet per min-1 ute?the height is 15 feet; what are the horses'power? 100 >4 62.5* >4 15 2.84 33,000' which multiplied by 1=2.13 horses power.?. If the stream is too small to furnish thej amount of water required in any given case, the difficulty may be met, without backing the water in the stream, by conducting the water to some ravine or basin, and throwing a dam across it, so as to allow the water to accumulate during the night for the next day's work. In that case a foot or so of the height would of course be lost, but the amount of water could be doubled. > Unless a "shoal" is present in a stream, it is seldom regarded as suitable to a water power?the plan proposed is wholly independent ofshoals, as it proposes to take advantage of a very gradual fall, extending it may be for a long distance. The plan proposed obviates also the difficulty of backing water upon a neighbor, or of sacrificing bottom land to secure a pond. Conduct the water along the hillside, make the pond upon the hillside, save all your bottom land, get aqjood water power and in the summer, when the water is not needed for driving machinery, it will be all ready to irrigate the hillsides. Facilities for thus doing, exist on thousands and thousands of Southern farms. "We shall consider that we have done a good work, if we succeed in directing attention to them. * Weightin lbs. of a cubic foot of water. Fall Ploughing for Corn and Cotton. The many and great advantages of fall ploughing seem to be almost entirely ignored by the Southern farmer. Fields which have been in small grain are pastured to exhaustion, and what is left by the cattle is permitted to dry up and blow away or lodge in the fence corners. Corn fields are similarly treated, in fact are trampled alJ winter by stocK, witn very little benefit to the animalaand much damage to the land. This is one of the deep ruts in which we are running and out of which we must get before we can find easy traveling. On the stubble fields, cow peas, or some other good green mature crop, may be sown and ploughed in just after the grain is taken off, to grow and be turned under before frost; or, if nothing better can be done, the stubble and weeds may at least be treated in this way, while there shall yet be manurial value in them, as may the stalks and grass of the corn field. In either case the vegetable matter will have time to decompose and become incorporated with the soil before planting time; and the earth turned up will get the full advantage of the mellowing influences of the winter frosts. Land thus prepared in the fall is very quickly and easily put into condition for planting in the spring. Remedy for the Hair Falling Out.
