Itomofflusi ?epartotrttt. FOB THE HEATHEN. The other day, when the wind whistled a sad toned jig around the Battery, a little old man entered the saloon in that vicinity, and asked the bar keeper if he could leave some tracts there. A whole car load, if you want to, was the prompt reply, and the little old man placed a package on a beer table and softly said : There's no nobler cause than the cause of j the heathen. We should all contribute a small share of our wordly wealth to shed the Gospel light across the seas. A pair of boxing gloves were softly reposing on a table, and the little old man felt of them and went on: It makes me mad to see such sinful things lying around when the cost of one glove miorhf aorra a Qrmls in Africa. hree or four of the boys had dropped in, and the saloon keeper winked at them and replied: Do you want to earn $5 for the heathen ? Verily I do. Put on the gloves and knock me down, and I'll ante up enough cash to convert a whole regiment of African sinners. The cause is noble, the inducement great, mused the little old man as he toyed with the gloves. The boys encouraged him to go in, desiring to see him knocked wrong end up, and he finally got out of his overcoat with the exclamation : It can't be a sin to box for the cause of the heathen. The saloonist meant to lift him over one of the tables at the first blow, but the blow was warded off very handsomely, and the little man sighed. Ah?um ! the heathen walk in wickedness, and they have souls to be saved ! Look out now,'said the saloonist, as he got in a left hander. Verily I will, and I will give thee one in return for the heathen. He struck a staggering blow, and the saloonist didn't fell quite so enthusiastic as on the start. He took the defensive, and had all the work he could do. That's another for the ignorant minds on the far-off shore ! sighed the little old man, as he knocked the saloonist against the wall. There wasn't any science about him, but he struck to kill, and his arms were flying around like the spokes of a wagon wheel. Don't crowd a feller, called the saloonist, as he was being driven back, and he got mad and put in his hardest Iicxs. ne meant 10 smash the little old man's nose as flat as a window glass, but he could not do it. He got in two or three fair hits, and was beginning to regain his courage, when the aged stranger sorrowfully remarked : My friend, the heathen call, and I cannot tarry much longer. Take this one, and may it broaden your views on the heathen question. Receive this one in the spirit tendered, and you may be sure the five dollars shall be a beacon light as far as it will go. He delivered two sledge hammer blows, right and left, and the saloonistgot the last on the ear as he dodged the first. He went over in beautiful style, and as he regained his feet, felt in his vest pocket for the wager. If you'll come round here to-night and do that over again I'll double the money! he ^ growled as he paid the wager. My road points towards Bosting, softly replied the old man, and I cannot tarry. Let us part friendly, for I only boxed thee for the heathen's sake. I gave to thee, thou hast given to the heathen, and now farewell!?San Francisco Call. The Damages.?A colored citizen of Ohio maintains a family dog about six inches high and eight inches long. The said dog never tried to snap afiy one up until yesterday, when he attacked a pedestrian and nipped his leg. The pedestrian at once called the owner of the dog out-doors and demanded damages. "What's de proof of de bite ?" inquired the colored man. "Right there," replied the victim, exhibiting a black and blue spot. "And what's de damage?" "Five hundred dollars!" "Shoo ! you can have de dog for a dollar!" "Makes no difference," continued the man. "I don't say that he has inflicted five hundred dollars' worth of physical damage. I estimate that at only two shillings, but I can't lie awake of nights and think of hydrophobia for no small sura." "I can't never pay dat sum." "Then I'll sue you." "Very well. I'll adjourn de suit till de bite gets well, and den whar will your proofs be?" The man reflected a moment and said : "I see. We must come down to physical damages." The colored man knocked the dog in the j head with a spade, and as the animal kicked its last, he remarked: "If you have been hitren hv a do?. I don't know nuffin about it. j I used to own a little dog, but he's dead now. If dar's any more talk 'bout damages round heah, I'll climb over de fence and hurt some white man !" There wasn't any more talk. The Doctrine of Transmission.?A Canadian, boy in the quiet town of St. Catharines, had been punished by his father by solitary confinement for lying. He showed on his release that he had been employing his time in theological reflections, instead of using it for self mortification. He asked his father: "Pa, did you tell lies when you were little ?" The father, perhaps conscience smitten, endeavored to evade the question. But the child persisted. "Did you tell lies when you were little ?" "Well, no," said the father; "but why do you ask?" "Did ma tell lies when she was little ?" "I don't know myson; you must ask her." "Well," retorted the young hopeful, "one of you must have told lies, or you could not have j had a boy that would do it." A Sad Family.?The family had received j a telegram to the effect that Richard, who had been West for several years, would return to ! New York this morning with his bride, so the family were at the depot to welcome the pair. There was considerable hand-shaking, and no little kissing, and Richard and his wife passed out ahead. i "Mar, mar, she's got red hair and big feet," j whispered one of the boys, as he trotted beside his mother. Say nothing, Henry?say nothing!" she grimly replied. "We've had measles, mumps fire, debts and deaths, and now here comes another great family sorrow. Seems as if the Lord had sot down on us as a family, but we've got to keep kicking and smiling as long as we live!" Where he Came From.?As the train stopped for ten minutes, and that individual who goes along tapping the wheels with his hammer was passing rapidly by the smoking car, one of the windows was hoisted and a torrent of tobacco spit was ejected, which completely deluged him. The machinist paused for a moment, and wiping some of the streams from his person, said to the offender: "Mister, what part of the country did you come from ?" "Me!" said the spitter, puckering his lips for another expectoration, "I come from Kansas." "I thought so," said the machinist, "for if you had lived in Massachusetts or Connecticut, they would have had a water wheel in your mouth long ago!" The Question.?Two young gentlemen were discussing whether or not etiquette demands that a young lady, upon parting at the gate or door, shall ask the young man to call again. "Certainly it does," urged one. "Certainly it doesn't," said the other. "I go to see a young lady who knows what politeness requires and she never asks me to call again." J^gricnttitwl fcpartweut. I LUCERNE. Alfalfa, as it is called in Spanish, or English, Lucerne, (Medicago sativa) has been known from the time of Larius. It was transplanted from Persia to Greece about 500 years B. C. It was extensively cultivated in Europe, and especially in the South of France, as a forage plant, but I am persuaded that its value is not as fully understood and appreciated as it should be in the South. I have experimented, for the last eight years, with Red Clover, Orchard Grass, Hungarian Grass, (or German Millet) and Lu T nlono fVio lnttar af-. t.hft hpftrl nf all i;Cl UCt JL f/IWVV VUWaMVVwa *?v - ?... It gives the greatest amount of green food or hay, than any other plant we have, and with the least trouble after the first year. I am satisfied that Lucerne caunot be excelled for soiling purposes. It has helped me wonderfully, more than any other grass, for carrying out the plan of soiling, which I adopted several years ago. It is well relished by all kinds of stock, both green and dry, and is exceedingly nutritious. In some respects it is decidedly superior to red clover, as in being perennial, and consequently remaining long in the soil, one seed will last for ten years or more, producing good and profitable crops. When once fully established it will yield heavy crops, and may be cut, if on rich soil, once a month. I have cut it as often as eight times in one season. Its yield commences much earlier than clover and continues later in the season. It stands the winter better than clover. Drought does not seem to affect it. In the dryest weather, when all other vegetation is drooping, Lucerne will be fresh and green. Its effect is to improve the soil rather than exhaust it, since it sends its long fusiform roots into the subsoil. Its roots have been known to reach four feet down in the ground. It is a well known fact that all leguminous, broad leaf plants derive also a large portion of their nutriment from the atmosphere, while the luxuriant foliage serves to shade the soil and thus increase fertility. We would urge every one of our readers, who has a horse, cow or pig,, to prepare a small piece of ground and seed down in Lucerne at once. The seed can be had at any of the drug stores in Charlotte. I have ordered some lately for some parties from Wil son & Black, Charlotte, at fifty cents pound. Nine years ago I paid eighty cents per pound. To succeed in growing Lucerne, a soil neither too light nor too stiff should be selected, very heavily manured, broken up very deep, if possible subsoiled, and rendered mellow by successive plowiug and harrowing. Lucerne may be sown either in drills or broadcast, with or without grain. Twelve pounds of seed are required for one acre if drilled, and twenty pounds if sown broadcast. I have succeeded best in sowing in thespring, from the middle to the last of March, in drills at a distance of sixteen inches apart, covering the seeds lightly. The cultivation of Lucerne is somewhat more difficult than that of any other grass the first year. The plants are very tender the first year, and weeds are very injurious, and crowd out the young plants, which are slow in starting. For this reason sowing in drills is to be recommended, as the hoe or cultivator can then be used. As soon as the young plants are a few inches high, they should be weeded carefully, and the intervals kept clean. This weeding and cleaning should be done several times during the season. Lucerne should be cut as soon as it blooms, since, if left longer, the stalks become woody, if cut much before, it is watery and innutritious. One or two cuttings may be obtained the first season on rich soil, thoroughly mel lowed, and prepared by-careful tillage, cultivated clean until the plants are well set.? Rev. A. L. Stougu, in the Shelby Banner. MILLET. I have been growing millet with success for a number of years; and as I think very highly of it, and believe it would be more generally cultivated if its good qualities were better known, I am induced to tell what I know about it, hoping thereby to benefit some other farmer. What I say is about the common millet; I have as yet had no experience with the German variety. Millet is an annual grass, having a soft stalk with numerous long blades, and a fine, large head filled with nutritious seeds a little larger than clover seed. It is of rapid growth, and matures in eight or ten weeks from time of seeding. When cut at the proper time and well cured, it makes excellent hay, as nutritious as timothy or any other grass, I think, which is eaten greedily by cattle, horses and sheep. The soil best suited to this grass is a rich, sandy loam. It will do well on any rich land not wet or very stiff, but it must be in good earth or well manured. It should be thor ! oughly broken with a two-horse plow and harrowed fine, and the seed sown and harrowed in. It is best to roll it, too, but it is not n?cessary. On good high land, sow half bushel of seed to the acre, but on rich bottoms I find three pecks enough. Millet is easily killed by frost, and should not be sown until April, after frosts have ceased, and may be sown from that time until the 1st of August. By sowing before the middle of May, I have frequently made two crops the same year on the same land. For hay it should be cut as soon as it has attained its "full height, while the heads are yet green ; when it begins to turn yellow, and ripen, it is less valuable, and cattle do hot relish it. On good, light highlands it will yield one or more tons of hay per acre, and on rich low grounds two tons at least. It yields from thirty to sixty bushels of seed per acre. By letting a few acres ripen a supply may be kept UP* I know of no objection to millet, but have heard that some say it is injurious to horses. Too large a feed of the ripe seed might do the j same harm that too much of any other very rich food would do. I think no such objection can be raised if it is cut at the proper j time. I have been feeding it to horses and mules for several years, and have observed no bad effects from its use.?F. Guy, Chesterfield county, Va. Beautifying Country Homes.?A wri! terin the April Wide-Awake concludes an article entitled "Tree-Planting for Children," as | follows: To those who live in the country upon farms, j let me say?first, plant your trees about your ! | homes, then about the farm. Learn that he ! who plants a tree beautifies to that extent his j | home and benefits every member of the family. A country home is never beautiful with-; j out trees, and the love which unites the faini-1 j ly is robbed of oue its happiest modes of ex- j ! pression and sympathy. In the improvidence | i that has ever ruled in our country, in the j I struggle to turn all things into wealth, may be j 1 found the secret of our wintry villages?the i desert fields, the cheerless, uninviting door ! yards; and we marvel not that as the refining i influences of education are felt, the Western : woman cries that she is "huugry for the sight J of a tree!" Nowhere is the beauty and utili-1 ty of tree culture recognized. Forests are cut j down like weeds. The most serviceable natu- j ; ral hedges that shelter us from the blighting ; i wind are slaughted for fire-wood. The lands j of the homestead, instead of growing rich and j more attractive to children?richer rn actual i value as well as in the loving traditions that should heap up with every generation?which j , should finally stamp every spot of gronnd j with some reverential or endearing memory? ! I are wholly bereft of their charms. I It is foryou, young friends, to change this. Beautiful, tree-surrounded lands?the wooded hills?the shady slopes, are the nurseries in j which love germinates and grows strong among the children of God?and they are the j natural iuspirers of reverence for him. The j i bleak, naked, cheerless homes and fields are j the natural concomitants of sorrow?of ex-1 ceeding poverty. They are fitting areas in j 1 which to expiate sius. leading far the jMrirfltb. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] GRACE. The word grace, which occurs so frequently in the Bible, literally means a gift. Hence, when we are told in the scriptures that "we are saved by grace," the meaning is that the whole process, from beginning to end of rescuing us from our lost condition, is a gift of God. God gave Jesus Christ to save sinners, and God gives sinners to Christ. The Holy Spirit gives sinners the power to believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit gives them power to exercise this gift. Every redeemed soul may, with absolute truth, cry out, "I am what I am by the gift of God." All that the sinner has that is his own, and all that he can ever have that is not the gift of God, is sin. Everything else, from the least to the greatest, is the gift of God. If he is in Heaven his title to his present place was given him, and his fitness for Heaven was a gift of God. All that he can say is, "I was washed in the blood of the Lamb and made what I am. I did | nothing to merit my present bliss. I only was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. I only followed Jesus, and he brought me through great tribulation to this glorious place and gave me a crown of righteousness." Every sinner must say, "I am not worthy of the least of thy mercies. I have merited nothing. Jesus found me a lost sheep going astray, and he brought me back to God." i [Original.] LOYE JESUS. We should love Jesus for many reasons. We should love him because of the kind care and merciful providence which he exercises over us. However tenderly a mother may love her babe, her love is feeble as compared with the love which Jesus Christ cheerishes for poor, lost and ruined sinners. With ten fold more care he watches over all creation than a tender hearted and loving mother watches over her darling child. No mother has loved so much and done so much for her sweet babe as Jesus Christ has done for the worst of I the human family. No man can 3ay, "Jesus | has no love for me." No man can say, "Jesus ' has done nothing for me." He gives all being ; he supports and sustains all in being. ; His gifts are so great and so many that no created being can even attempt to bestow them. Jesus died for sinners. Jesus offers to i save sinners from the curse of a violated law. ' Jesus does save with an everlasting salvation | all that put their trust in him. No human i being can say, "I went to Jesus and asked him t to save me, but with a frown or with an air of ( indifference he gave no attention to my entreaties." No man dare say, "I went to Jesus but he rejected me." This is one lie that 1 no human lips can frame to tell. Jesus saves , all who come to him. His love is as bound- i less as his own being, and the efficacy of his 1 blood is as powerful as his creative energy. We should love Jesus for what he is; for , what he has done for us ; for what he is doing i for us, and for all that he has promised to do for us throughout an endless eternity. The heart that is not moved by the simple story of the Cross, is dead in tresspasses and sins. [Original.] . PROYE GOD. Evidently, the curse of God is resting up- ] on this land. Our country is desolate, our cities are burned with fire, and Btrangers de- ( vour our land in our presence. Thousands , of our young men died by the sword, and a wail of sorrow went up from every hearth- ' stone. Our rulers are rebellious and com- J panions of thieves; every one of them loveth i gifts and followeth after rewards. Such, al- ] so, was the condition of God's ancient people. 1 As God is an unchangeable God, we may , expect him to deal with us as he dealt with j Israel of old. < If it be asked, why is God so sorely afflict- ! ing us? we reply, on account of our sins. , "Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground." As individuals, and as a nation, we have for saken God and he is shaking his rod over us. Sin, and sin alone, is the cause of our suffering. We may have some difficulty in ascer- j taining with certainty what may be our prevailing national sin or sins ; but we may safe- ' ly conclude that as a nation we are heinous : sinners in the sight of God. It may be that, as a nation, we have become notorious Sab- i bath-breakers; or we may be, as we are called by some other nations, a people notoriously addicted to drunkenness and profane swear- | ing. We may be guilty of violating all the 1 precepts of the decalogue. It may be that we trample under our feet each and all of the , ten commandments. < Whatever may be our sin or sins, either as 1 a nation or as individuals, our duty is clear. ! We need be at no loss as to what God re- , quires us to do that he may remove his .af- ] flictive providence. The Bible is full of in- ] struction on this point. Hear what God says by the mouth of the prophet Isaiah: ! "Wash ye, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; I cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek ^ judgment; relieve the oppressed; judge the < fatherless; plead for the widow." This in- ' struction is general in its character ; but it is < sufficiently particular to enable us to discover 1 what is our duty under any particular circumstance. God positively declares that if we ] will forsake our sins he will return unto us ; and bless us. He graciously offers to blot 1 out our transgressions. "Come," says he to < us as individuals, "and let us reason togeth- < er" about this tiling. No proposition ever : was fairer. Come, and in view of all the facts, let us see what can be done to bring < about a different state of things, and one that is desirable. There is not a sinner in all , Christendom with whom God is not ready to < enter into a conference concerning his sins. Not only so; but God graciously offers to ; defend us with his Almighty power and bless i * - A if ?,;n i? < US Willi HIS iuuiilit; guuuuese 11 yvo yyiii uluj return unto him. Hear what he says: "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the < good of the land." Again he says: "I will rebuke the destroyer." And again he says : < "All nations shall call you blessed." These, ' together with thousands of other promises, are plain. Every one can understand them, ! and all can see that God promises to bless the good man, for time and for eternity ; to ' bless him in his body and in his soul, and so to bless him that all who see him will at < once discover that he is blessed. God even < goes farther than to make the promise. He ; challenges us to try him. "Prove me," he i says to every one. This is not a vague thing. On the contrary, it can be subjected to the | most rigid test. God promises that if we will J be a willing and obedient people, he will bless 1 us now. It is our duty, as individuals, honestly to ; try God ; to put him to the test and see and 1 experience whether he is faithful in fulfilling ]! his promises or not. "Prove me," he says to ; the man beset with difficulties. "Cast all your j < cares upon me and see if I will not bfar : them," are the challenges which God makes to us all. Is it not madness for men to Strug- 1 gleon and on, when relief is so easily obtained ?;' Accept of Jesus Christ and we are saved ; j saved from the disappointments of sin in this world, and its endless ruin in the world be- J yond the grave. ( YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. VOLUME 32.--1870. THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER is now in its twenty-second volume, and is a large twentyeight column newspaper, handsomely printed.on clear, legible type, and devoted to the Political, Social, A oricultural and Commercial Interests of the South. We are enabled to promise increased attractions in all the different departments of the paper, conspicuous among them being the SERIAL STORIES, written expressly for its columns. As a non-partisan, independent family newspaper, the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer can be as well judged by the past as by any promise which we might now feel disposed to make. An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper business?of which timeat least one-half has been unremittingly devoted to the management of the Enquirer?fully convinces the proprietor that the plan he adopted on assuming control of the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in the present day. The true mission of the newspaper is to place before the public facts as they may exist, unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives; and the nronrietv of this course is fullv attested. not on'y by the success of the Enquirer, which can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any country newspaper in the South, but also by many other of the most popular and widely circulated papers of the day. The course thus indicated we shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Circle, and acceptable alike to all classes of readers. Hence, the news department of the Enquirer, whether of matters at home or abroad?political or otherwise?will be conducted with the utmost care, and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented, free from sectional or party bias. LITERARY DEPARTMENT. The original Serial Stories are an attractive feature of the paper, being from the pens of the most sprightly and entertaining story writers of the day, and abound with dramatic plot and stirring incident. HISTORICAL SKETCHES. The Historical Sketches of the Early History of South Carolina will constitute an important feature of the volume. These Sketches are written by Rev. Robert Lathan, and commencing with the earliest settlement of the State in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and progress. To the writing and compilation of these Sketches the author has devoted much thought and 'extensive research. Besides the colonial history, they will contain the stirring scenes and Important events, the anecdotes and incidents?legendary and authentic?which have never before been fully published, connected with the Revolutionary history of the State. Much of the material of these Sketches being traditional?many of the events portrayed having never been in print? and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, familiarstyle, they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not only in our own State, but by every one having a iust appreciation of the history of a noble ances try in their struggle forliberty and independence.

THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. In addition to the above features, Rev. Mr. Lathan will continue his regular contributions to the "Sabbath Reading," and the "Children's Department," which, under his management for the past six years, have been an importantattraction ; ind with the usual melange of Miscellaneous Reading adapted to all tastes; the Agricultural Department, containing practical and useful information for the farmer and house-wife; a column Bf Humorous Reading every week ; "Scraps and Facts,"embracinglight current topics; a compend if the News Abroad and at Home; Correspondence; Commercial and Market Reports; Editorial Articles upon appropriate subjects, intended to promote the prosperity and welfare of our people, we hope to make the Enquirer replete is an entertaining and instructive Family Journal.
