COULDN'T TELL.
A few evenings since, a Mr. Slocura was
reading an account of a dreadful accident
which happened at the factory in the town
of L., which the village editor had described 1
in a great many words.
"I declare, wife, there was an awful accident
over to the mill," said Mr. Slocum.
"I'll read the 'count, wife, and then you'll j
know all about it."
Mr. S. began to read.
"Horrible and Fatal Accident.?It becomes j
our melancholy and painful duty to record j
the particulars of an accident that occurred
at the lower mill, in this village, yesterday j
afternoon, by which a human being, in the I
prime of life, was hurried to that bourne from '
which, as the immortal Shakspeare says, "no '
traveler returns."
"Du tell ?" exclaimed Mrs. S.
"Mr. David Jones, a workman, who has ,
but few superiors this side of the city, was :
superinteuding one of the large drums?"
"I wonder if 'twas a bass drum, such as
has 'Eplubust Unurn\ printed ou't?"
"When he became entangled. His arm |
was drawn around the drum, and finally his
whole body was drawn over the shaft at a
fearful rate. When his situation was discovered,
he had revolved, with immense velocity,
fifteen minutes, his head aud limbs striking a
large beam a distinct blow at each revolution."
"Poor creature; how it must have hurt
him."
"When the machinery had been stopped,
it was found that Mr. Jones' arras and legs
were macerated into a jelly."
"Well, didn't it kill him ?" asked Mrs. SIocura,
with increasing interest.
"Portions of the dura-mater, cerebrum and
cerebellum, in confused masses, were scattered
about the floor; in short, the gates of Eternity
had opened upon him."
Here Mr. Slocum paused to wipe his spectacles,
and his wife seized the opportuuity to
press the question:
"Was the man killed?"
"I don't know?haven't come to that place
yet ; you'll know when I have finished the
piece."
And Mr. Slocum continued reading:
"It was evident, when the hapless form was
taken down, that it was no longer tenanted
by the immortal spirit?that the vital spark
was extinct."
"Was the man killed??that's what I want
to come at," said Mrs. Slocum.
Do have a little patience," said Mr. S., eyeing
his betterdialf over his spectacles. "I
presume we will come upon it right away."
And he went on :
"This fatal casualty has cast a gloom over
our village, and we trust that it will be a
warning to all persons who are called upon
to regulate the powerful machinery of our
mills."
"Now," said Mrs. Slocum, perceiving that
the narrative was ended, "now, I would like
to know whether the man was killed or not ?"
Mr. Slocura looked puzzled. He scratched
his head, scrutinized the article he had been
perusing, and took a graceful survey of the
paper.
"I declare, wife," said he, "it's curious, but '
really, the paper don't say !"
HOW A DANBURY MAN* SOLD AN AGENT.
A young man was in town, Friday, in the
interest of a new heating apparatus. He heard <
that Major Pinkney was building a new house,
and speedily hunted up the veteran.
"I hear you are building a new house ?" he
said to the Major, in the tone of a man who
didu't care to commit himself.
"I have built it."
"Exactly ; glad to hear it," said the agent. ;
"Have you made any arrangements for 1
heating the new building?" and the agent ,
looked anxious.
"Well, no," muttered the Major, with a
stare, as if the heating of the building was an 1
idea that had entirely slipped his mind. 1
"So much the better for you," exclaimed I
the agent, "I think I have just the article you 1
want?combining economy, heat and cleau- ]
liness. We have sold thousands of them ]
throughout the country, and have yet to hear
of a single failure on the part of the heater '
to do all that is claimed for it. It is the sum '

ings, and I am quite confident that I can j
demonstrate to you the superior advantages ,
which this heater eujoys above all others.
Where is your new house?"
"On Essex street," said the Major. (
"Suppose you jump in the carriage with me
and take a drive over there. I should like to (
see it." j
The Major consented, and getting his over- ,
coat, he mounted the seat with the hopeful
and e'oquent agent, and they drove off. On
the way, the agent rapidly went over the 1
many favorable points of the admirable heat- 1
cr, and was much gratified at the impression <
he had evidently made on his companion. ]
Arriving infront of the new building, a large
and rather unpretentious structure, the agent :
said :
"What are you going to do with this, Major?
Make a tenement or boarding-house of
it?"
"Oh, no," said the Major, as he carefully
reached the ground and looked innocently
around, "it is an ice house."
"What?" screamed the agent.
"It is an ice-house," repeated the Major.
"Sold, by thunder!" exploded the agent,

A Cute Clerk.?It is related that a dry
goods merchant was very hard on his clerks,
and when a visitor left the store without a
purchase would discharge the clerk. He took
up a position near the door, and as customers
passed out he would inqure if they had been
properly served. On one occasion a lady was
negotiating with a clerk for a shawl, but the
sale was not made. The clerk called the lady's
attention to the old gentleman, who was,as
usual, standing near the door, waiting to waylay
the lady with the customary question.
"That old man," said the clerk, "is crazy. He
may attempt to stop yon as you go out, and
you had best avoid him, as he is sometimes
dangerous." The lady started for the door,
and, as the old gentleman approached her,
gave a shriek and darted out. The merchant
was greatly astonished, and, walking back to |
the clerk, asked : "Do you know tnat iaay r
"No, sir," replied the clerk, "but I think she
is crazy." "You are right," returned the old
gentleman, "she must be crazy."
tesT A farmer who was pestered with crows,
hit upon the plan of soaking some corn in
whisky and placed it in the field so that the
crows would get drunk, and then he designed
to kill thera. After soaking some corn all
night, he put a bountiful supply in the field
early next morning, and in about two hours
he went out to see how things were progressing,
and mark what followed. One old
crow, a little larger than the rest, had gathered
up and taken possesion of all the soaked
corn, and had built himself a bar out of some
clod3 of earth, and was retailing the whiskysoaked
corn to the other crows, charging
thera three grains of sprouted corn for one
soaked grain. He hadn't the heart to kill !
creatures that acted so much like human be- j
lugs.
BSfA German peddler sold a man a liquid for J
exterminating bugs. "And how do you use ;
it ?" inquired the man, after he had bought {
it. "Ketch the bug un drop von litte drop !
into his mouth," said the peddler. "Pshaw!" !
exclaimed the purchaser, "I could kill it in
half the time by stamping on it." "Veil," |
said the German, "that is a good vay too."

THE STORMS OF LIFE.
From the cradle to the grave is a short >
voyage. We begin to die as soon a9 we begin ;
to live. Short as the voyage is, it is a tempestuous
one. No one passes from shore to
shore without being tempest-tossed, and nearly
wrecked on some dangerous, but unseen rock.
Some, apparently, are blessed with a smooth
sea ; but it is only in appearance. We have
the authority of two trustworthy witnesses for
saying that man's days arc few and full of
evil. The Bible, and the universal experience
of men, testify to the fact. No man passes
from time to eternity without experiencing,
in some way or other, that the wages of sin is
death. Every man finds out, to his sorrow,
that it is an evil and a bitter thing to sin
against God. The rich man may spread like
the green bay tree; his coffers may he filled
with gold, and all the desires of his heart may
be gratified ; but the cup of his bliss will be
mingled with a bitter which nothing can hi
sweeten, and his every joy will be accompa- Sf
nied with an agonizing pang. If we miss the ^
port of heaven, and fail to enter the haven tj
of eternal rest, gloomy is the present, and still
more gloomy is the eternal future that awaits k
us. ol

RETRIBUTIVE PROVIBEXCE. c;
If we would study carefully the providences ai
of God, we would learu to fear and dread him, t!
if we did not learn to love him. The deal- h:
ings of God with us all are fearful, as well as 01
wonderful. In nothing save, his power aud S?
love to save, does God- so gloriously display
himself as in his retributive providence. No S?
one, except the individual who contradicts the fi
testimony of his own senses, will deny that in a
His providence, he rewards the good and pun- 7'
ishes the wicked. The former are not, in this .
II
world, fully rewarded; neither are the latter
punished as their crimes deserve. To both
these is given tangible and ocular evidence, S
that God has an arm that is full of power, is
and that he is able and determined to meet ^
all his promises, and execute all his threat- ^
enings. _ ?
It is a very noticeable feature, in the dealings
of God with us, that as we do, so we are A
done by. Once there was a poor old blind M
man, who, through the infirmity of age, was tl
forced to take up his abode under the roof of ?'
his soo. The blind old man oiten oroae me
w
plates upon which his meals were served. ?]
This greatly annoyed his daughter-in-law.
The son determined to make for his aged a
father a trough out of which to eat his food, gi
Followed by his little son, he weut to the ^
woods and commenced the unnatural task. v<
The little boy, who was tenderly attached to |j('
his aged and afflicted grand-father, asked his g,
father what he designed making. He was Is
told "a trough for yourgrand-father to eat out bi
of." The child replied, "That will be so nice. w
Father, when you get old and blind, I will
make a trough for you." This illustrates (j(
what we mean by retributive providence. ai
Pharoah, King of Egypt, drowned in the Nile aj
the helpless babes of the children of Israel, w
and God turned the waters of the river into
blood, and ultimately drowned Pharoah and P(
all his proud host in the Red Sea. David j
caused Uriah to be killed with the sword,
and by the appointment of God, the sword gt
never departed from his house. David took w
i /? n i ^
tne vvue or uriao, auu vjuu, iu me cautuc ux
.lis retributive providence, permitted Absalom,
the son of David, to enter his father's ^
tr
tiarera as a degraded beast. David acted '
secretly, but Absalom perpetrated his crime
aefore all Israel and the sun. pc
The principle which seems to be manifested lii
u the dealings of God with us, is that he A1
pays us in our own coin. In other words, as J)1
ve do, he does, or causes to be done to us. Ou s
;his principle we find that the cheater is cheat- \v
;d ; the deceiver is deceived ; the liar is lied to. th
The most fearful aspect of the subject is that G
3od often visits the iniquities of the fathers fo
md mothers upon the children. We do not
pretend to be able to understand, much less c[
explain, why God thus deals with us. This yc
loes not change the existence of the fact iu gi
the least. Is it not a fact that drunken fath- 1}1
srs are cursed with drunken sons ; adulterous .
narents with lecherous sons and daughters ? V_
How often do we hear individuals say it runs ^
in the stock of certain people to be guilty of }n
such and such deeds. The reverse is also or
true. The seed of the just is blessed.
BY THE WAYSIDE. g(
Two aged men entered a street car a few h<
days ago, in a neighboring city. Oue of w
them, who was paralyzed, said in reply to a P<
question of the other as to his welfare: "I a
have a very large interest in the next world." w
When asked, "How are you off for this ta
world?" He replied, pleasantly, that he had th
enough to meet his wants while he lived, and ai
then again he added, "But I have a very a
large interest in the next world." The con- in
versatiou attracted the attention of other pas- a
sengers, and one of them who narrated it, said vi
that those words kept ringing in his ears all pi
the rest of the day. He could not get rid of al
the deep impression made by the singular oi
earnestness and happiness of the old disciple. 01
Surely this is the beauty of old age, its ta
joy and blessedness, the calm assurance of a ni
portion beyond this life in "the inheritance ct
of the saints in light." m
Little, too, did the veteran think of the m
power of his reiterated sentence upon the
hearts of fellow-travelers, who did not even
know his name. Yet these wayside utterances
of warm-hearted Christians are often 01
the most eloquent preaching, both to unconverted
people aud to believers, who happen to ai
overhear them. Our unconscious influences
are frequently the best or the worst that we
exert. S1
But the best of all is when the pilgrim life (
draws near its close, and when the staff and ' ^
sandals are soon to be laid aside, to feel that j
"our best and largest interests are in the next I 01
world." That treasure grows at more than :
compound interest. Its value increases as i
the vision of it widens like the firmament, j 'r
These riches cannot "take to themselves wings ; w
and fly away." It is a life interest for eterni- j g1
ty, and faith only asserts its own divine pre- j Sf
rogative, "while we look not at the things j
which are seen, but at the things that are not
seen, for the things that are seen are tempo- ! d
ral, but the things that are not seen arc eter-1
nal."
The old age which is brightened by this :
nrnsneet. cannot be the senile, sour, morose, lc
f - V-J*-'-J
unlovely thing that we sometimes see. But tl
this is the beautiful, golden sunset of the !
human autumn. It has "the promise of the , bi
life that now is and of that which is to come." ; "J
And this is the inventory which another old
disciple once made for his fellow-Christians : i
"All things are yours, whether Paul or Apol- ai
los or Cephas, or the world, or life or death, w
or things present, or things to come ; all are ; A,
yours; and ye are Christ's and Christ is !
God's." Has the reader a share in this?"ail )*<
things ?" I
Happy are they who dare venture out
in the open street with the name of Christ! I
upon their foreheads, at a time when so many g(
are ashamed of him, and hide him (as it were) is
under their cloaks, as if he were a stolen Sa- j ai

DANDY JIM.
There was onco a little kitten
Whose name was Dandy Jim,
And his mother, let mo toll you,
Was very proud of him.
His tail was long and graceful,
And his eyes a pretty brown ;
His coat was black and silky,
And soft as eider down.
Hut Dandy had a habit,
When his mother washed his face,
Of struggling and of kicking,
Willi a very ugly grace.
At lirst sho tried to coax him,
And called him darling kit;
But naughty little Dandy
Was unwilling to submit.
Onco a week he thought sufficient
To wash a pussy cat;
But his mother, it is certain,
Thought dillcrcntly from that.
"I shall keep you dean and tidy,"
The wise old pussy said,
"?)r, if you quite prefer it,
You can stay out in the shed.
"Not until you're some weeks older,
And know how to catch a rat,
Will you, my dear, he able
To decide," said pussy cat.
A riXclfoF SALT.
George went to the meadow to carry a
ticket of salt for the cattle. "How odd,"
till George, "that nothing can live without
lit! What is salt?" "Why, salt is salt to
e sure," said the plowman. That is so, but
ie answer did not quite satisfy George.
There is a metal called sodium, which
mks like little silvery globes, and it is a sort
f cousin to gold and silver. If these little
lobes in their way over the world meet and
re breathed upon bv a yellowish-green vapor
illed chlorine, they vanish in an instant;
ud in place of the two, sodium and chlorine,
lere is a grain of salt. It is a happy thing
i nature that these do come together very
ften, otherwise we should have no salt, and
dt is necessary for all sorts of life.
It is found almost everywhere. It is in the
reat oceans; there are also salt lakes, and
* 1 . 11A
lit springs, and salt mountains, ann sail
elds. Spain has a great mountain of salt;
nd Poland has some wonderful mines, where
ou are let down into a pit; and come to
orkshops where hundreds of men are hewig
out blocks of pure white salt, which shine
nd sparkle in the lamp-light like diamonds.
In America there is a famous salt lake,
alt spring are very common. The sea water
pumped into broad flat pans, and left in
lesun to be dried up. When it is dried up
le salt is left in a crust ou the bottom of the
ans. There are also great salt works in
Ingland.
If water gives us salt, so also does fire,

found very near its burning mouth,
he people of Iceland, too, often carry whole
agon loads of salt from their burning Mount
[ecla.
There are plants likewise which can yield
small supply. By the seashore grows a
-ay, prickly, homely plant, called saltwort,
ur soda mostly comes from the ashes of this
?ry plant. Do you know the curious and
retty ice-plant ? It sometimes grows in garms
; oftener in green houses. This is a
'eat treasure to the people of the Canary
lands, who raise it in large fields, pull it up,
irn it, and drive a good trade with the soda
hich they get from its ashes. What stores
"useful things are to be found in nature.
Animals which live on vegetation especially
slight in salt. Wild beasts on the plains,
id deer, as well as cattle in our barnyards,
e fond of it. Indeed, life would perish
ithout salt.
A man weighing one hundred and fifty
)unds has in liirn a pound of salt at least.
!is body needs it in order to be strong and
lalthy. If this is 110 longer to be had, his
;sh falls away, he loses his hair, his eyes
ow dim, his bones become soft, and his
hole system breaks down.

Our Own Bible.?Do you know, dear
lildren, the pleasure of having a Bible all
>ur own? There are people who would
ve a great deal to have a Bible. We have
tely heard a story of a little girl who conived
a singular way to procure one. She
red in a village in the mountains of Abeyn,
and there they have not the happiness
see missionrries who bring Bibles to the
habitants. She was told that, at Nimes,
le could he bought for three francs.
This poor little girl had no money, but she
id two rabbits of her own. She resolved to
) on foot to Nimes, which is five miles from
;r home, and she carried her two rabbits
itli her. She went to a book-seller, and pro
ised to him to exchange her two rabbits lor
Bible, to which he consented. Rejoiced
ith her bargain, she returned to her mounin
home, happy to have in her possession
ie precious book she had desired so long ;
id she made a good use of it. She learned
verse every day ; and how often they came
to her mind many days after! They were
comfort to herself and to others whom she
sited ; for she often told them some of the
recious words of the Lord Jesus. We wish
1 of our young readers would learn a text
Scripture every day, and say it to papa
mamma the next morning at the breakfastible.
Often a text of his dear little ones
ight be brought to papa's mind in his busy
ires in the course of the day, or into dear
amma's thoughts, when engaged with her
iany household duties.

God Loves Bad Children.?"What kind
children does God love?" said a Christian,
le day, to the children of a Sunday school.
Grood children," "Good children," was the
aswer from several voices.
The teacher was silent, and the scholars
ere perplexed to know what answer he dered
thera to make.
Presently lie said, "Jesus loves bad chilren."
The children were surprised at this, and
ie girl anxiously asked whether it was really
ue.
When she was assured that it was really
ue, because it is written that God loved the
orld, and in it "there is none that doeth
ood, no not one," she burst into tears, and
lid :
"I am so glad then, for I am a bad child."
Thus the "Gospel of the grace of God" first
awned upon a little child, and melted a reellious
spirit into tenderness and tears.
Unwise Ambition.?A mouse saw a swal>w

"Oh, how much better to be a beautiful

Ided the foolish mouse.
It tried very hard, indeed, jumping about
id stretching its legs till something like
iugs grew out of them. As soon as it could
y, it said to the other mice :
"You cannot expect me to take notice of
du any longer. I am a bird now."
"You a bird, indeed!" the mice answered ; I
fou are only a bat!"

ROTATION OF CROPS.
j One of the greatest drawbacks to the rapid
! and permanent improvement of the lands of j
i Eastern Virginia, (and we may add of the ]
i South generally.?Ed. So. Cult.) is the en!
tire absence of any regular system in the rota!
tion of crops. It is by no means uncommon
| to see the same crop cultivated upon the same
| land year after year, until the elements of
i fertility arc completely exhausted, and then
j the land is turned out, to grow up in pines j
I and sassafras. Even where this course is not!
I adopted, another almost equally exhausting j
| takes its place. Corn, wheat and oats alter- |
I l _.t.? ? :..t i
! mue uuun utuur, wiuioui uuy uuurvtfuiug ici ur j
| izing crop, or even a year of weeds and rest. 1
.Still another method,and one which those who :
practice it, think a great improvement on |
those heretofore enumerated, is to allow the i
laud to rest a year or two, growing its own j
covering of weeds, which are permitted tori-'
pen their seeds, to bring trouble and vexation j
upon the cultivator of the succeeding crops. ;
All these methods are in direct opposition to j
improvement, and calculated to impoverish
the land, or at best, make it difficult and un- j
profitable to cultivate. It is to the prevail- i
aricc of systems like these, or rather to such j
entire neglect of all system, that we are in- !
debtcd for the present poverty-stricken ap- |
pearance of our farms, and the general !
and growing disposition to leave the farm i
and try our fortune in other avocations.
Many of our he3t farmers limit their rotation I
I to four or five shifts, and cultivate from :
two-thirds to three-fourths every year, and
this, too, without keepiug any considerable
| amount of stock to supply the necessary ma-1
! nure to make those crops good aud paying ones. !
If for these large, expensive, and very fre-!
qucntly unremunerating fields over which the
farmer labors tediously year after year, a !
smaller area, well prepared and well cultitivated,should
be substituted, the farmer would
soon find thathis account of Drofit and loss would
be on the other side of the balance sheet. It
isa difficult matter to lay down rules for a rotation
adapted to all land. But a safe rule will
always be to have at least one-half the land
in some crop that will improve, rather than
exhaust the soil. Our own preference is to
plant corn upon clover sod, and for our own
land would adopt the following rotation:?
Corn upon clover sod, oats, pens sown immediately
after the oats are cut, to be turned under
for wheat in the fall. Clover should be seeded
upon the wheat to remain two or more years,
and then to be planted again in corn. We
do not pretend to say that is the best system,
but it is better than no system at all. Another
rotation practiced by an experienced
and successful farmer, is wheat upon clover
sod, corn, oats seeded to clover, two years
in clover, then wheat seeded again and permitted
to remain two years. This gives J
corn, J oats, } wheat, and the remaining half
in grass.
It will require some years of improvement to
annKla fVio nnnr lanrla r\P T^.ncf-orn Virrrinia
and North Carolina to produce a crop of clover
that will add materially to the fertility
of the soil. In the mean time the field
pea will answer every purpose as a fertilizer;
will grow upon the poorest soil, and possesses
the further advantage of requiring only
one season to perfect its growth and yield its
return. The experience of those who have
tried it long cannot fail to convince us that as
a preparation for wheat it is equal, if not superior,
to clover. It would be well, then, for those
who are prepared to comence a course of
improvement, to give at least one field to the
growth of this crop as a preparation for
wheat.
Most farmers have mnch more open land
than they can cultivate properly, and many
are, from sheer necessity, they think, permitting
it to grow up in bushes. If the farm,
instead of being permitted to run to waste in
this way, could be put under a judicious system
of culture, a rotation in which green manuring
crops occupied the land one-half the
time, the increased fertility would soon add
so greatly to the crops that there would be no
necessity for cultivating a large surface to get
the necessary amount of graiu to keep the
farmer going. Land can be more cheaply
improved by plowing under green crops than
by feeding stock to make manure. At least
it renm'res mnoh leas eanital to imnrove that
| way than by feeding stock. But if the farmI
er is successful, if he improves his land in this
way, the time will soon come when he can
keep stock cheaply ; when the keeping of
stock will become, as it were, a necessity for
his increased crop, and will have so filled his
purse, that he will have a surplus to invest,
and he will naturally enough invest in something
that will add still more to the fertility
of his land, the increase of his crops and the
filling of his purse.?Southern Planter and

FARM AND PLANTATION TOPIC'S.
HOW CAN WE RAISE COTTON CHEAPLY?
As we suggested in our last number, it is
not wholly, or mainly, on account of small
i ;? c
crops or low prices una uur miming iiiiis iu
pay a fair profit on the capital and labor eraployed
in the business. We may make better
crops, and that is one of the points to be
kept constantly in view, but we shall hardly
get higher prices than the average of the past
few years. The principal difficulty with us,
however, lies in the cost of making our crops.
The outgoes are too heavy. The expense of
making a bushel of corn or a pound of cotton
is too great. To make farming more profitable,
we must cheapen production. If it costs
fourteen cents a pound to make cotton, it is
evidently a losing business, when we get no
more than that for it in market, less the factor's
commission. But suppose we can make
a pound of cotton for ten cents or for seven
cents, then the lowest prices likely to rule for
a long time to come will give us a profit.
How to make cotton cheaply is what we want
to know. Planters, let us have your experience
on this point. Let every one who has
- ~ ,4 in nm'nr* nnof n-f* r\rr?r]n/>tinn
j SUl/UCt/UCU 111 1 CU UUillg VUU VA |U VV4UVV4VK
in the cotton crop, either by improved methods
of cultivation, or by labor saving appliances,
tells us how it was done. What is the
lowest cost at which upland cotton can be
j made per pound of lint ?
MAKING A GOOD BEGINNING.
i A bad beginning may make a good ending,
! as the adage has it, sometimes; but a good bej
ginning is much better?iu fact, in farming,
; at least, things generally go wrong through
j the whole year, if our operations are not
promptly and judiciously commenced at the
i beginning of the season. It is easy to get off
the track, but hard to get on again. Above
all, as we have repeatedly urged, make your
arrangements for good provision crops of all
| kinds. After this do what you can in cotton.
| All the teachings of the last few years point
I to diversified industry as the policy and hope
of the South. It is well that we grow cotton.
I We can grow it with profit, if we manage in
; a sensible way ; and the world wants and must
| have it; but if we grow nothing else, we shall,
j as we have done in the past, enrich others j
j while impoverishing ourselves. Aim to make i
the plantation or the farm self-sustaining, j
j There are crops which it would not pay to
! raise for market, which it does pay to raise ,
! for home supply. Cotton is a good thing, but i
, not to eat!
EXPERIMENTS, AND IIOW TO MAKE TIIEM. j
Experiments in agriculture are often ex-!
ceedingly deceptive, and thousands of farmers
are yearly led astray by them. But experi
ments properly made and carefully recorueu .
are nevertheless of the utmost value. Prop- j
erly made experiments take account of many
circumstances, such as the nature of the soil
and its previous treatment and condition ; the
character of the season, whether dry or wet,
and the amount and quality of cultivation
given the crop. It is for the want of this careful
discrimination that they are deceptive,
and often mislead instead, of guiding aright
the novice and the inquirer.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER FOR 1874. ;
, i
IX issuing our prospectus of the TWENTIETH J
volume of the ENQUIRER, we are gratified .
to announce for the approaching year greater Lit- '
crary attractions than we have ever heretofore ,
olfcred?having secured the services of f
POPULAR WRITERS j
Of distinction, as contributors to our columns, i
Among those as writers of Fiction, whom wo are '
now at liberty to mention, are Mrs. NELLIE 1
MARSHALL MeAFEE, of Kentucky, and Mrs. f
HENRY DEAS, of California. i
Already is Mrs. Deas favorably known to our '
readers, as a brilliant and entertaining writer ; 1
and we can safely promise that the next story we '
shall publish from her pen isone of greaterpower (
and more fascinating stylo than any she has ever 1
yet written.
Mrs. McAfee, though hut recently engaged as a f
contributor to the ENQUIRER, is well known in '
the world of letters, having commenced her lite- f
rarv career bv writing for periodicals in 18153, and (
having been remarkably successful in every effort. <
J. Wood Davidson, in his11 Living Writers of the j
South " published in 1809, says : "She is just past
twenty, and seems full of youthful aspiration, and
hopes, and life. Sho puts her impulses, feelings
and thoughts into literary forms with wonderful
facility." Her second publication, entitled 'Lis 1
hi/ Fire" a novel of passion-life, earnest, intense ?
and full of pathos, appeared in 1809, and was well
received by the public. The New York Round ?
Table spokbof the volume as being all "perpetual
splendor," and that the writer in her special delineations
of character, displays abundant capaci- ;
ty to excel.
The tirst number of the new volume will con- "]
tain the opening chapters of a thrilling and high- J
ly exciting story by Mrs. McAfee, being her latest
literary effort, entitled 1
"DESTINY; OR HOUNDED DOWN."
This Story will run through several numbers
of the ENQUIRER, and will be followed by .
" IIOLLINGWOOD HOUSE," a charming 1
Story, written in Mrs. Deas' most entertaining
and captivating stylo. These will be followed by a
other ORIGINAL STORIES, from the pens of
the most popular writers, which, with Mr. LA- g
TITAN'S regular contributions to the "Sabbath
Reading" and "Children's Departments;" Miscellaneous
Reading, adapted toall tastes; tho Agricultural
Department, containing practical and
useful information for the farmer and housewife ; I
a column of Humorous Reading every week ;
"Scraps and Facts," embracing light current \
topics; together with a compcnd of tho News of
the Day; Correspondence from abroad, in which
tho sparkling letters of our REGULAR TRAVELING
CORRESPONDENT, "Nkmo," will bea
prominent feature; Commercial and Market Rennrtq
and Editorial Articles on annronriato sub
jcets, will, we feel assured, render the ENQUIRER
an acceptable visitor to all its readers. i
It is the aim of the proprietor to make the
ENQUIRER A LITERARY AND FAMILY c
NEWSPAPER, acceptable alike to all classes of
readers and a welcome visitor to the Home Circle,
unwarpcd by party, creed or section; and the
features which have so greatly contributed to its
popularity?securing for it a circulation attained (
by no other secular weekly in the State?will remain
unchanged. "l
