<?tttt0M Jjepartraent, JOHNNY AS A CLERK. Hence the only live business-man in t store, when the old lady from the country g out of the wagon and came in, was the erra boy, Johnny. He was a sharp boy, who km everything. Therefore, he was glad for t opportunity of showing his employer what good clerk he was. The old lady want pant-buttons. As he didn't know where find them, he told her they were out, but expected a cart load from New York eve day. and asked her to wait for a day or until they Arrived. "Now, ray dear madam," said Johnc smiling and rubbing his hands as he had se the clerks do, "let me sell you a new dress-pi ? tern; the one you have got on looks like wasn't built for you in the first place." The old lady thought the dress was "rig peart." "Well, yes," said Johnny, "it is sort peart," but it would look a heap pearter you was to set it off with one of our diamoi cluster breast-pins for thirty-five cents. The breast-pin was purchased. "Now," said Johnny, "do you comb yo hair ever?"* The old lady began to lo mad. "1 don't mean nothing," continued t young villain; "some very respectable peoj do comb their hair. We have people in tl town who have got so in the habit of it tb they take their hair off and fasten it to a chi and comb it like blazes every night." And Johnny sold her a jute switch, and big comb that would have taken the cock burs out a mule's tail. Then Johnny inquired if any of the fami were sickly, and hearing that the old m was complaining, persuaded her to buy soi crape and white gloves to have ready in cti of emergency. When the proprietor returned from dinm he found a pyramid of young watermelons the counter, and a peck of the littlest peacb he ever saw on the show-case. This was t kind of cash Johnny had received for $ worth of goods. Johnny was in the back ya dissecting the healthiest-looking water mel of the lot. The scene was painful to listen to from 1 other side of the street. If Johnny's waj were raised as hierh as he was. he would be receipt of about $1,000 an hour. For fifu minutes an uplifted boot with a boy hoveri on the toe of it, in a sitting position, was 1 most attractive feature of the landscape in 1 back yard.?San Antonio (Texas) Herald. TEACHING A LANDLORD. Not long since two York men visil Kansas. They stopped at a hotel one fo noon, and after dinner one them walked do to a barber's shop to get shaved. The sb was shut, the barber having gone off to ta his after dinner-nap. Then the York m walked back to his landlord and said: "With your magnificent country, which the garden of the world, you ought to be 1 most prosperous people on earth. That y are not is due to the fact that you don't tend to business. You do not look out; coppers. Here's your barber shut up a gone when he might have earned ten cents shaving me. Now he don't get it, for I'm ( ing to shave myself, and save my ten cents, have a razor in my valise, and if you w show me to a mirror I will shave myself." The landlord said the barber was a shi less cuss, who like most Western men, could: compare with Pennsylvania for attention business, and patience in scooping in t dimes; but he hoped they would all impro in time, and then he showed our friend int( rnom wViai-p hfi fnnnH a {rnnrl-sizpH mirror, a shaved himself. Soon after he joined 1 companion and congratulated himself on t success he had in saving ten cents, and tea< * ? q ?^ ' ? ? A fUr toa t pair paid their bills and went to the depot take the train. On their way the man w hadn't shaved said: "Pretty reasonable house, that; only o dollar for dinner and supper," "Only a dollar!" said the other, "whj paid a dollar and a half!" and a little ft ther explanation showed that he had be charged fifty per cent more than his compt ion. So back he went, and demanded of t landlord an explanation, and got it in th< words: "The fifty cents extra is for the use of room. You don't suppose we can have c rooms turned into barber shops for nothii do you?" And the man who shaved himself went the depot, a sadder if not a better man. 1 don't brag much of his adventure since his turn to York, and it will be sometime bef( he will attempt to give another Western m a lesson on financiering.? York, Penn., Dm crat. (Jomparative.?He was "too lull tor utt ance," but occasionally he would mut something to himself, when the 'Squire woi request him to keep quiet; but no sooner woi he get through making his requests than Iss would begin his mumbling. Finally t 'Squire got on his dignity, and put the folic ing to Isaac as a settler: "Now, Isaac, have requested you to keep quiet several tim and if you open your head again I will fi you five dollars for contempt of court, a send you to jail for drunkenness." This f Isaac out of time, and he arose from bis se walked to che door, stopped, and retorted in t following energetic way: "'Squire, if th would stall-feed you for forty years y wouldn't make half as good a man as yc father. I knew him, and he was the darnd meanest man I ever did know." Them Chickens.?Yesterday, as we w< passing a street'beyond the Atlanta Medic College, and on which a number of negrc reside, we heard an old negro calling out hifi wife "Manda, ia you got dem chickens corral] in the smoke-house like I told yer ?" "No; an' I like to know whar's de mat wid you dat you's so 'tickler about dem chi< ens all at once," she replied. "Nebber you mind! I knows whar's matter, and dat's nuff till dem chickens housed. When I hears dat dem niggers ol dar^n de next yard is gwine to hab a party morrow night, I wants to be shore dat i chickens doesnt' 'tend it?you hear me ?" The chickens were at once locked up.?? lanta ( Ga.) Constitution. Wasting Powder.?Mr. and Mrs. Jer were preparing to go to prayer-meeting, a f days ago, when the camion was roaring ii distant part of the city to call the voters tc political meeting. Mr. Jenks was sitting w: his hands folded, looking into the fire, dou less contemplating the sinfulness of polit and politicians. The cannon roared, and t reverberations almost shook the house he v sitting in. "That is a shameful waste of powder," remarked. "It ain't no such thing, you old brute," plied the amiable wife, as she stood before 1 glass arranging her toilet; "I haven't a more powder on ray face than you have." Warm.?An eight-year old boy of the Noi End sent the following rather warm epis to one of his playmates: "Dear Minnie i lc thee i ador you don't show this to your moi er. if i don't love thee may the lions tf my heart out may i be thrown from a thi story window if i don't love you may i be tc in 3 halfs by wild beasts but i do ansa this, get good paper and leave 1-2 a sh< for me you are a pretty girl and I'll ha you.

A New Import.?A show-case contain! fancy cards, etc., "specimens of the work do inside," stands in front of a Trenton, N. < printing-house, and a placard is attached to t same, which reads, in large letters, "Han off." A few nights since some witty newsb gave quite a new import to the card by u: king it read "Hands off?on a drunk 1" . f epaitwea [Original he THE CRISIS. rQt The Southern States, when viewed with : nd spect to agriculture, are in a critical com ew tion. We hear much said about the fins he cial crisis of the country, agd about the pol 11 * ical difficulties under which the Southe people labor; but the agricultural conditi ke of the South is as alarming as either its fins iry cial or political condition, so The truth is, our people have not accept the condition of things which was broug >y? about by the results of the war. Ten yes en have passed away since an end was broug to the war between the States ; and still 1 have not, as yet, become accustomed to t hi new state of things. Most of the farmers the country are rowing against both wind ai o' tide. Generally, for the last ten years, t ^ seasons have been good and the price of t Q(* produce remunerative; still, money is scan It is true that in some few instances money ? nJfint.v. That is. there are numbers '.of im ur ? j- ' ok viduals who are annually accumulating; b it is not bo with the multitude. Why is tl be the case ? This is a grave question, and 1 *!e do not pretend to be able to give a satisfacl ry answer to it, even to ourselves, much li .jr to all who may desire an answer to it. Sti some suggestions may be thrown out whi I a will shed some light on the subject, le- Id the first place, aud perhaps first in poi of importance, there is no sort of concert ? action between land owners and labore EID The land of the South is owned by white m< ne J _ and the negroes are the laborers. These t' classes act toward each other as if they m er, afraid of being cheated. They have no cot on dence in each other. It matters not whi l?8 one of the parties is most to blame, the resu of the case remain the same. Neither pai r(j seem to understand that what advances t 0Q interests of the one, will ultimately advac the interests of the other. The laborer mat ;he no effort to preserve from decay the propei J68 cf the farmer, on whose plantation he labo 10 He breaks, with impunity, tools and machii 560 ry, and cultivates the soil with no referei to its preservation.

Another reason for the languid state of i , riculture in the South is, there are too few borers to support the total amount of 1 re* population. More than one-half of the wh WD male population are mere consumers. Th depend upon watching the comers for a li' 1 e lihood. The negro men, who are the labore an proper, are too few to support the whole p< . ulation. l,1B It may be added that those who do lab ' 6 neither labor bard, nor to advantage. Poi ou bly, our genial climate has a tendency P * make us lazy and careless. Possibly, t very productiveness of our Southern soil I P gets idleness in its inhabitants. Wbate^ y may be the cause, sure it is, that the Southe people do not work as the people do in t jj Northern and Northwestern States. Bots in Horses.?Rarv savs: "In tw< ift- ty-seven years' time I never had a horse n't die of the bots. I believe that almost eve] to body is convinced that the bots come fr< he eggs or nits which are deposited upon t ve horse's hair by that troublesome fly rese > a bling a bee in color. This has always be nd my opinion. Now it is generally known th lis a horse that has the bots does not appear he suffer until he is too far gone to be cured.

Whether a hoi be inclined or not to have the bots, this re r I edy will do him no harm." ir- A correspondent of the Department of A en riculture says: "It appears from remarks in- different writers that noue know of any c he tain remedy. I know of a remedy that ?e safe and certain, discovered in the followi way: About thirty years ago a friend a mine lost, by bots, a fine horse. He took frc iur the stomach of the dead horse about a gill ig, bots and brought them to my office to expe ment upon. He made preparations of eve tQ remedy he had heard of, and put some 3e them into each. Most of them had no eflfe re- a few affected them slightly, but sage t >re more than anything else killed them in fifte an hours. He concluded he would kill them no- using nitric acid, but it had no more effi upon them than water; the third day th were as lively as when put in. A bunch er* tanzy was growing by my office. He took tor Handful of that, bruised it, added a little w Id ter, squeezed out the juice and put some i 'Id they were dead in one minute. Since then tac have given it to every horse I have seen affi he ted with bots, and I have never known it ,w* fail of giving entire relief. My friend h i I another horse affected with bots several yet eSj later. He gave him a dose of tanzy in t 06 morning and a dose of salts in the eveuit ud The next morning he took up from the e >ut cretions three half pints of bots."?Farme at> Union. he --? ey Manure.?"More manure" is a cry whi ou multitudes of farmers raise every year. Tl )Ur is true not only in the East, but equally so gat many sections of the West. These men ] cognize a great and imperative need. Th know that without manure no great degree jre success can be attained in their busine ;al But it seems to me that many of these m )gs overlook a point of equal importance with t to one upon which they are so well inform* They seem to forget that quality is just as i ted sential as quantity, and that while it is nec sary to have manure, it is also very deBiral I? 1 iL.i L:_L 3_ T L _ ler lu uuvt) iuut uuauuio ui a mgu graue. x uvj ;k- this opinion because I see a great many far ers who are constantly wishing that they cou de make more manure, throwing what they ha is into open yards where it will be exposed I )er months to the sunshine, winds and storms, to- be injured by each and all of them. Inste ny of taking pains to save and keep in its b< condition the manure which they have, th At- allow it to go to waste, and spend time in ic regrets that they have no more.

His teacher became disheartened t it- and went one day, during the noon recess, to % rn consult Andrew's mother respecting her future f oa plans. The teacher found Mrs. Jackson at ' in- the wash-tub. After the usual salutations t were passed, the teacher made known the ob- t ed ject of his visit. He began by relating An- t ;ht drew's idle habits and aversion to books and * irs love of play and mischief, and concluded by cht advising Mrs. Jackson to bind her son out o we to a tanner in the neighborhood, to learn the H ' - - - ... tr t i t be business ot tanning leatner. iurs. tiacabou, of who had heard the teacher patiently, but ad without stopping her washing, now raised up, he and in her broad Irish accent said, "Oh 1 man, ^ ill whip Andrew ; he'll make a man yet."

It was coined 1 we in 1652, and the date was not altered for a ^ ;o- period of about thirty years. Three sizes of J88 pieces were coined, bearing the values, respec- r 11, tively, of three, six and twelve pence. On one ch side of these coins was the word Masaihiuets, and a pine tree; on the other side, New Engnt land and the date, 1652, below which was the ^ of value of the piece. * re. The mint master was allowed to take fif- t m, teen pence out of every twenty shillings for 5 wo his trouble. He amassed an immense fortune f ire by his trade. Henry Sewall married his ? ifi- daughter. She was a fat, rosy cheeked girl, f ch On the evening after the marriage, her father ' Its had a large pair of balances brought into the < ty room in which the company were seated. The t he young wife was placed in one disk and "pine ' ice tree" shillings placed in the other, until a . tea perfect balance was effected. This money was < tv nriwpn tn Henrv Sewall as his wife's portion. < V fc,- ' J - - ? re. Henry Sewall afterwards founded Newbury, ( ae- in Massachusetts. i Original. J ed, THE BLACK HOLE. The East India Company, for the purpose ] of protecting its trade, erected a fort at Cal- ( !g. cutta. Governor Drake incurred the anger < ]a- of the Nabob of Bengal, by unjustly impris- ' ihe oning a merchant by the name of Omychund. ( ite The Nabob raised a large army and advanced s iey against the fort. So soon as Drake saw that ? t j the fort was to be attacked, he determined to { jp' leave, believing it could not be successfully , defended against so large an army as that i or, under the Nabob. Drake, with several of 1 the principal men in the fort, collected their 1 most valuable effects and escaped on board a ( ,he ship. 1 The defence of the fort devolved on Hoi- 1 rer ^ well, the second in command. He and the he men under him made the best defence they < could, but were unsuccessful. On the 26th i of June, 1756, the fort surrendered. Now the 3D- . . . ] t0 tale of the horrid sufferings of the prisoners j ry. begins. i >m Calcutta is in about the same latitude as ' he the Island of Cuba. It was in raid-summer. 1 m" About six in the evening, the fort, with one en hundred and fortv-six prisoners, fell into the ' l&t 9 m t possession of the Viceroy of Bengal. He asp0 sured Holwell that the prisoners should not de be hurt. Some of the subaltern officers, howith Pvnr, '""r" cmrivgccl nu aouwuut | ve of the number of their men that had been Ies killed during the siege. So soon as it became 16' dark, they were surrounded by a guard of m. near five hundred soldiers, and ordered to march into the barracks. Here the soldiers .g- surrounded them with fixed bayonets, and orof dered them to the southern extremity of the ? Bf" barracks. At this point there was a prison 18 called the Black Hole. It was eighteen feet square, surrounded by massive walls. There )m was a door which opened in the inside on the of north side, and two windows closely barred ri- with iron bars on the west side. Into this 1 ry small hole one hundred and forty-six men were driven by force. Several of them were ct' severely, and some of them mortally, wound Q ed. Holwell, not suspecting anything, ied by the way, and the rest, like so many sheep, ;ct followed. So soon as they were all in, the ey door was fastened. Every effort was made to ?* break the door down, but as it shut from the a inside, this was impossible. The men had scarcely room to stand. The perspiration beI gan to flow in torrents. Some one suggested 3C- that they strip off all their clothes in order to that they might make more room for themselves, and also decrease the exhausting heat. 'Z8 This was done, and a momentary relief was secured. |pr * Holwell begged one of the gup.rus, who r8' stood near the window, to go to the commander and have the prisoners divided, securing k one half in some other place. For this ser- j 1ja vice he was promised a large reward. He in went, but came back and reported that no dire vision of the prisoners could be made. Holey well doubled the amount of his promise. Still he was unsuccessful, giving as his reason for failing, the fact that the viceroy was asleep, \ jje and no one dared wake him. The poor prisoners were worn out when es- they entered the Black Hole, and the intense es- heat and the profuse perspiration soon brought on a feeling of great weakness. They had not room to sit down. The heat and perspiration brought on the most painful thirst. The ve cry was raised by all "Water! water! For 'or God's sake, give me water." Some one of the to guard brought water, but the only way that it ftd could be got into the Black Hole was through 2St the bars of the windows. Ouly a small quan- r He wa*er? at a ^me? cou^ be thus introt0 duced ; and so intense was the thirst of all, ! 3ir that much of the little conveyed into them, re, was wasted by snatching it. By nine re. o'clock, most of the prisoners?all except those 'er nearest the windows?were delirious. The guard was abused and intentionally insulted ut by the prisoners, with the hope that it would }aj fire upon and kill them. So great was the ,11. anxiety to be shot, that each one was desirous e to that he would fall at the first fire. ? ire By midnight, the greater number of those c ^ imprisoned had fallen dead, and the stench I and heat of the place was so great, that all e to wished tor death. At iour, in tne morning, . the Viceroy awoke, and the terrible condition of things in the Black Hole was communi- e . cated to him. j! j An order was sent to open the door and let Ie. the prisoners out; but as the door opened into * ,er the room, it was impossible to open it from the * ice outside, until the dead were removed. This of task had to be performed by the few living ? )a* prisoners within. So weak were they, that al- e y' though their lives depended upon completing cjj the task promptly, it took them twenty min- a ,a. utes to perform it. Of the one hundred and t to. forty-six who were driven into the Black t he Hole, only twenty-three came out alive, and 18- several of these died afterward. Those who t survived preserved their lives by standing as ? near the windows as possible. Holwell and f n<5 several others, who had not stripped off their ^ 3g shirts, supported life by sucking the perspira- ^ tion out of their own shirtsleeves. o THE FAMILY VISITOR. PROSPECTUS.
