A Southern paper tells the following: Soon after the battle of Prairie Grove, Confederate officers of rank went into the Union army to negotiate for an exchange of prisoners. Three Union officers were detailed to negotiate with .them. One day, while the commission was in session, an old gray headed, gray bearded Arkansas farmer walked in and asked: "Is this the provo's offis ?" Some one attempted to explain, but the old fellow being quite deaf, did not understand, and said: "Yes, I'm a good loyal citizen; I've got my protection papers; I've been and got paid for my forage. It's all right." "Look here," said Col. W., of the Union array, "you had better be careful what you OA ? alvAllf l/*r?aUw * *l*Ana o??j ?uuui juui jv/jaujr y uuu t jruu sew luusc gentlemen over there?" pointing across the table "jo where the Confedederate officers Bat in their gray uniform. The old man took out a pair of dilapidated spectacles, and fitting them on his nose, closely examining the gray uniforms with their velvet collars and brass stars. His bands trembled violently, and he seemed quite frightened, but he collected himself and said to the Confederates: "Well, gentlemen, I meant no offence. I don't know?fact is, I've alius been a Southern man. I've jess got one son, and he is with Marmaduke. The only other man grown in ray family that's fit for sarvis, is my darter Sallie's husband, and he's with Rector, and? "Hold on, old fellow!" cried Col. W., "what about your being a loyal citizen ?" He looked at the other side of the table. Theu he readjusted his spectacles, scanned the blue coats, took off his handkerchief from about his neck, blew his nose, leaned both hands on the table, and said : "Well, gentleman, this is a little mixed, but you just go on and fight it out among yourselves. I can live under any government." QurcK on the Trigger.?"You will please observe," said old Mr. Lambwell as he led us through his school the other day, "that the boys are required to display the utmost attention to quietness and discipline, and in a short time become divested of that most annoying disposition to tease each other. In short, they soon settle down in all the gravity of mature years under the wholesome system I have introduced." We at this moment arrived in front of several boys who were standing around a bucket of water, and one had just charged his mouth with the contents of a tin cup, while the old gentleman was stooping to recover his pen from the floor, when another passing behind, snapped his finger quickly beneath the drinker's ear, and caused hira, by a sudden start, to eject the contents of his mouth over the pedagogue's bald pate. Starting upright, with his hair and face dripping, the master shouted: "Who did that?" The party unanimously cried out, "Jim Gun, sir." "Jim Gun, you rascal; what did you do that for ?" Jim, appalled at the mischief he had done, muttered out that it was not his fault, but that Tom Owens had snapped hira. This changed the direction of old Lambwell's wrath, and shaking his cane portentuously over Owens' head, he asked, "Did you snap Gun ?" The culprit, trembling with fear murmured : "Yes, sir; I snapped Gun but I didn't know he was loaded." 8?" A woman read in a paper that the best way to keep boys in the house in the evening was to make home cheerful and attractive. She did so. She purchased games of various kinds, lit up the parlor each evening, threw open the piano, invited young people of both sexes, and had dances, and music, and refreshments, etc. But she didn't succeed in keeping her two boys home oftener than two evenings out of a possible seven. The mother concluded that they must frequent a very attractive apd cheerful place, indeed; and one night she got on their trail, and going up a pair of rickety back stairs, to a dingy, dirXl_* J _ /? J I A 1 ~ ly inira siory room, sne iouna ner iwo noys and four other youths sitting around a dollarand-a half pine table, engaged in a game of six-handed euchre, with a candle sticking in a greasy porter bottle which threw a ghastly glare over the scene. She now wonders if there is such a thiug as making home too attractive and cheerful for the boys. "Times have changed since I was a gal," exclaimed Mrs. Goodington, reflectively, laying down the paper in which she had read of the large amount of gold used annually in teeth-filling, and pushing her ancient spectacles up onto her corrugated and equally ancient forehead. "Yes; times has changed since I was a gal. You never heard such a fuss about teeth in them days. That was afore people took to feeding on calomels and bourbons and such trash. They didn't have the toothache much, but when a tooth did become defrayed, they had it distracted at once and without taking chloroform or any of your new-fangled aesthetics ether. And as for sticking gold into their mouths, why, bless you ! they had all they could do get bread enough to put there to keep soul and body together." And the old lady's face assumed an unwonted sternness as she reflected on the degeneracy of modern times. Not for Joe.?Joseph was a scoffer and a "bad lot" generally. Meeting an officer of the American Bible Society the other day, he chucklingly asked : "You give out a good many Bibles in the course of a year ?" The officer said : "Yes, very many." "And what do you suppose becomes of them ?" "They fall into hands that need them, I doubt not." "Well," said Joseph, producing a book with the look of a man who would say, "Now I've got you," "where do you suppose I got that?" The man of Bibles couldn't say. "Got it in a rum shop. You gave it to a sailor and he sold it for a glass of rum !" "Well," said the other, "I am glad it has fallen into your hands, Joseph. I don't know any one who needs it more." Joseph doesn't know as he made much of a point after all.?Boston Transcript. j??" "Well, I've sold my dog," said he, as I he leaned aeainst the door-iamb. "Have i you though ?" "How much did you get ?" inquired a by-stander. "Seventy-five dollars." "Well, somebody got bit on that trade," remarked bystander No. 2. "Oh ! no, I threw in a croquet set, an old campaign flag, my last years's fishing tackle, an army overcoat, aud?let me see. Oh! yes, I let quite a good second-hand buggy go with it. Oh ! that's a mighty good dog. He's worth all I got for him." S&~ "Why, my dear old fellow," said a horse jockey, trying to sell a horse to an Irishman at the market the other day, "that 'ere hoss has traveled a mile in two minutes and twenty seconds." "I belave ye, sir," answered j the intelligent son of Emerald, "but I'll wager me ould brogans he was aboard a railroad train when ye timed him." Gilbert Stuart, the portrait painter, is said to have met a lady in the streets of Bos- j ton who accosted him with : "Ah, Mr. Stu-j art, I have just seen your likeness and kissed 1 it because it was so much like you." "And ' did it kiss you in return ?" "Why, no." "Then," said the gallant painter, "it was not i like me." 9 ^ ^ "Biddy," said a lady to her servant,1 "I wish you would step over and see how old Mrs. .Tones is this morning." In a few min-; utes Biddy returned with the information : that Mrs. .Tones was 72 years 7 months and i 28 days old. ' She Jam atttl |itesidc. TO RESTORE LANDS DEPRECIATED BY COTTON. An editor was traveling with a young companion, in a private conveyance, through the county, and seeing the fine plantations that were formerly as rich and productive as we could desire, but now worn and gullied from hill top to valley by constant cotton culture, remarked to his young companion : "What is to become of our country and its inhabitants?" The young man answered and said, "Bermuda grass will restore it to its former value, and its owners make more money than those who ha^e worn it out by cotton culture." Diversity of farming is our only hope; stock raising, sheep husbandry, and a cultivation of grasses, and sowing grain is the * -11 -1 only wise policy, it win maue our utuus blossom like ike rose, poar into the laps of its owners teeming riches, and render thern independent of the North and West for all that now supplies their wants. In fact the country is now too poor even to produce cotton to buy supplies at the present low price; and, even if it was worth 30 cents per pound, it would be bad policy to grow it exclusively, as the landa become poor and less productive every year, and we would ultimately have to abandon thorn and go West tcr seek "Green fields and pastures new" where the soil is more productive. We must change our sys tem of farming. Bermuda grass will grow and flourish ir this latitude, and even stop comparatively large gullies in a year or so. Stock of all kinds prefer it to any other grass ; and it is first in the Spring to put out and the last in the Winter to die. And, when partially protected by pines, remains green all Winter, affording fine grazing for cattle and sheep. If any one has his plantation well set in Bermuda grass, then he is well prepared to make money, and can restore his lands to their original fertility, and can make more money than if he planted four times the area in cotton. For the farmer the rais ing of sheep is one of the most profitable enterprises. No animal except the goat will live and thrive with so little care and attention. They are at the same time the best of fertilizers and good farm scavengers, as they feed upon many plants that are great pests and hard to destroy, except by their browsing. Poor land will furnish good pastures for sheep, and wilPimprove so rapidly that it may be brought into a high state of cultivation in a few years. The fleece, under the the most unfavorable conditions, will more than pay for the cost and care of raising the sheep. And where can you find anything better to the palate than a nice fat lamb, either fried, roasted, or boiled, or baked, whilst scientists have demonstrated that no other flesh is equal to it, or so wholesome, for either young or old, sick or well. But the selling of their carcasses should be a secondary consideration, although it may pay handsomely in spring and fall. The best ??1 u I.,. n,Ul, UUlUJttlS SUUUJU UC OClCUIrCU, tuuo^ niui Iiuiuj, compact frames and fine wool, and then, by judicious crossing with a Spanish merino buck, your flock will soon be all that you can de sire. The deg is the great enemy of the sheep raiser, and nothing but a dog law can remedy the evil; and one should have been enacted at least ten years ago, but it is never too late to do gdod. From two to four hundred acres in Bermuda grass will graze five hundred head of sheep and one hundred head of cattlp Any one, who can commence with this number of acres in Bermuda, can become independent in a few year's time. The plan is this, have a five or ten acre lot fenced in for folding the sheep on every night, and very soon they will come up regularly to be penned. In a fortnight the lot will be rich with the deposits of their manure. Then break up well and keep the lot in good condition by keeping it well ploughed. Change your sheep to another lot of five or ten acres, or you may have, if preferred, a twenty acre lot under one fence; and fold your sheep on this area longer, until every foot of it is thoroughly manured. And, in thefgll, manure with superphosphate, and sow in turnips, and it will produce enough turnips to winter all your sheep and cattle; and, by fencing off so much as they will eat in a week, the manure from the sheep will make the lots rich enough to produce one hundred bushels of corn per acre?or a bale of cotton. Have also ten or fifteen acres well prepared and manured and sow in barley and rye, and you will have green lots in the spring that will feed your stock, ewes and lambs, until the grass springs up in the fields. These barley and turnip lots can then be planted in corn and peas; and when the corn crop is ripe and housed, the pea crop can be fed to the sheep, and the vines ploughed under; and with the droppings of the sheep, it will be in fine con dition to sow either in turnips, or barley, or rye, ready for winter pasture. By this process you can make permanently rich, in a year, one hundred acres, which will be amply enough for all practical purposes. The balance of your land can remain in Bermuda grass for pasture. The increase of your sheep will double every year?a ready market always at .hand for your surplus sheep and 1 lambs at remunerative prices, in spring ana fall, their fleece more than pay all cost of wintering, whilst your lands will be improved without the necessity of hauling manure or purchasing commercial fertilizers.?Crawford, in Charlotte Democrat. Cure for Wounds.?As soon as the wound is inflicted, get a little stick?a knife or file handle vill do?and commence to tap gently on the -/ound. Do not stop for the hurt, but continue until it bleeds freely and becomes perfectly numb. When this point is reached, you are 3afe?all that is necessary is to protect it from the dirt. Do not stop short of the bleeding and the numbness, and do not, on any account, close the opening with plaster. Nothing more than a little simple cerate on a clean cloth is necessary. We have used and seen this used on all kinds of simple punctures for thirty years, and never knew a single instance of a wound becoming inflamed or sore after treatment as above A raong other cases: A coalrake tooth going entirely through the foot, a bad bite by a pig, several instances of file-shank through the hands, and numberless cases of rusty nails, awls, etc., but we never knew a failure of this treatment.?Scientific American. - ? How to Feed Bran.?Bran or ground feed is best fed to cows upon moistened bay ; it being mixed with the hay, all will be eaten together and raised and masticated. But if it is not fed with cut hay, it should be fed dry and in a small quantity each time, for if fed alone it is not raised and remasticated, i but goes on to the third and fourth stomachs. If fed in slop it is swallowed without mastica-! tion, and mixed with little or no saliva, but j if fed dry, it cannot be swallowed until it is j mixed with sativa, and the saliva assists in i digestion. When food is masticated, the act j of rumination causes the saliva, and the saliva assists in digestion. When food is mastica-1 ted, the act of rumination causes the saliva i to flow and mix with the food. We have ex-! perimented and find that when fed alone, j dry ground feed is better digested tnan wneu 1 fed wet.?National Live Stock Journal. What Five Sheep Will Do.?Five sheep ! will enrich one acre of old, wornout mowing I land, in three years, so that it will produce ' one and one half tons of hay per year, for i several years, by a slight sprinkling of seed j sown each year in early spring. Five sheep will produce manure in winter to the value of ten dollars by giving them suitable bedding, i Five sheep will get their living through the summer on one acre of ground ; the pasturing 1 of the same woukl be three dollars.

ROBERT LATHAN. fOriginal ] BUSYBODIES. This word is found at least three times in the translation of the New Testament in common use. The word so translated is different, in each instance, in the original Greek. In 9d Thp.q. 3: 11. verier a adzomenous is the word used. In 1st Timothy, 5 :13, periergoi is the word rendered busybodies. In 1st Peter, 4th and 15th, another word?allotrioepiskopos?is used. In the third chapter of the second epistle to the Thessalonians, Paul gives sundry directions concerning the manner in which disorderly persons are to be treated. The disorderly persons referred to were not drunkards, or adulterers, or Sabbath-breakers; but idlers. "We have heard," says the Apostle, "that there are among you," that is, members of the church of Thessalonica, "some persons who conduct themselves disorderly." Their disorderly conduct consisted in this: They did nothing?had no trade, vocation or calling by which they could make an honest living, and busied themselves about trifles. The best description that can he given of the persons that Paul, in the third chapter of Thessalonians, calls "disorderly," is to say they were lazy, without energy, never, or seldom, engaged in doing anything profitable, and ever employiug themselves in some trifling thing. If we will picture to ourselves a man or woman too lazy to work, and thus make a comfortable subsistence, we will have presented to our minds the disorderly persons spoken of in this place by Paul. These persons were not immoral, in the usual sense of that word, for the Apostle directs that they be treated as members of the Church, entitled to its privileges. No doubt, the same kind of disorderly persons may be found in Christian congregations of the present day. Of such it may be said, they are a good kind of people; but, unfortunately for themselves, for all those whom God, in his providence, has madg dependent upon them, for the visible church and for society at large, they are a good-for-nothing sort of people. Of them it may be further said, they do little positive harm ; but less positive ? guuu? With regard to the manuer in which these lazy Christians are to be treated, Paul is very explicit. Those who walk orderly, or those who labor and thus provide things honest in the sight of all men, are cominauded, in the name of Jesus Christ, to withdraw from all social intercourse with "those who do nothing except vain things." They are directed to notify all those who trifle away their time^n idleness, that unless thev "work and eat their own bread," that is, go to work and provide for themselves and households, they will be debarred the privilege of associating with those who do make such provision. No doubt the busybodies spoken of in the j third chapter of second Thessalonians, were tinged with officiousness, for it is a notorious fact that those who have no regular business of their own, are generally, if not always, officious. From such persons it is the duty of all good Christians to withdraw themselves socially. The busybodies of whom Paul speaks in second Thessalonians, were, most probably, both male and female; but those spoken of in first Timothy were females. In the fifth chapter of the first epistle to Timothy, Paul gave his friend and "son in the faith," instructions as to the manner in which he should govern the church. One class of troublers in the church of God, in Paul's time, were the idlers who had crept into it. Paul had no time for those drones, it mattered not whether they were men or women, single or married, widows or widowers. Since Paul wrote as he was moved by the Holy Spirit, and as no Scripture is of any private interpretation, may we not conclude that God has no patience with idlers? The busybodies, concerning whom Paul charges Timothy, were young widows. Some of these, he says, learu to be idle and gad about from house to house. * i . L.4. 4i This would oe Daa euougn; out mey uiu uui stop here, but contracted the habit of talking and meddling with other people's business. Idle women, it seems from the Apostle, as well as idle men, are prone to become offieious. No doubt, the officious meddlers in the time of Paul and Timothy were, as that class are now, adepts in disturbing the peace and harmony of Christian congregations. These lazy idlers traffic iu scandal, which they zealously retail while gadding about from house to house. They are tools in the hands of the great arch enemy of souls. The busybodies spoken of by Peter, are very different characters from those spoken of by Paul in his letters to the Thessalonians and Timothy. The busybodies of Peter are found in bad company. They cap the climax of which murderers, thieves and evil doers form the steps. The word "allotrioepiakopoa" is very significant. It is a very uncommon word. So far as we are aware, it never occurs only in the fourth chapter of the first epistle of Peter. There is no difficulty, however, in fixing, definitely, its meaning. For anything that we know to the contrary, Peter "coined" the word to describe a class of the human family that no other single word will describe. "Allotrioepiskopos" signifies a self-constituted bishop, or overseer of other men and their affairs. The Apostle does not say that there were, in any of the congregations or among any of the professed Christians to whom he addressed his letter, any of these would-be-bishops ; but that such a thing was possible is taken for | granted. There has always been in the world, a class of men who never have any business of their owu, but who set themselves up as the overseers, or bishops of the affairs of every one in the community. The Apostle Peter classes them with murderers, thieves and mischief-makers. It is scarcely possible to express the contempt in which both Paul and Peter held these busybodies, and the judg ment of all men is in perfect harmony with that of the inspired Apostles. What can be more disgusting than to see a lazy lounger attempting to play the part of an overseer over either the temporal or spiritual affairs of his neighbors ? It must beget in every generous bosom a feeling that is close akin to hate for that individual who wastes his time in prying into the business of his neighbors. Who so contemptible as a lying tattler r me aevu has no more faithful servant. By him, the peace of Christian congregations and neighborhoods is destroyed. Busybody in the devil's service, truly such an individual is. Whoever will read carefully the passages of Scripture in which "busybodies" are mentioned, he will find that idleness leads to those evil habits which are denoted by that word. Idleness leads to gadding about from house to house, or lounging at public pluces. This makes the idler an iitolerable bore. The next step is ; lying. The idler soon becomes addicted to ' this most pernicious habit. Why it is, may t not be easily explained; but it would be con- j trary to the observation of the majority of I persons, to find one of those veritable gad-! abouts who was not a most uotorious liar, i The final result is soon reached. The lying gad-about becomes an uumitigated meddler in things that no way concern him, and stirs 1 up9trife]and dissension in families, in Christian congregations, and in neighborhoods. The busybodies spoken of by Peter,seem to j have reached a point not attained by those spoken of by Paul. From the language of Peter, we would infer that the persons whom j he calls alliotrioepiskopos, and which we translate busybodies, deserved to be punished in the same way that thieves and murderers are punished, or made to suffer; but Paul advises the Thessalonians to treat the "periergadzome 1 nous," or busybodies, as Christian brethren ; hut not to associate with them. The differ- j ence, however, is not a difference of persons, but a difference of degree in the same class of person?. From all that is said of busybodies, we are ' led to conclude that idleness is a most dangerous thing. Paul says: "If any provide not for his own, and especially not for those of his own house, he bath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." Christianity elevates man, developing all the noble instincts of his nature. The heathen feel that it is the duty of parents to provide for their own households. Hence the professed Christian who does not do this, has never felt the elevating power of Christianity, and is, notwithstanding his professions, more degraded than the majority of the heathen. Solomon says: "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands'to sleep; so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy want as an armed man." This is bad enough ; but it is not all. Poverty and want, brought on by idleness, is attended with a moral and intellectual degradation which beggars description. It produces liars, tattlers, meddlers, drunkards, pilferers, Sabbath-breakers and mischief-makers generally. Idleness is the source of more evils to society than, perhaps, any one thing. Hence, the Apostle Paul most authoritatively enjoins it upon all Christians to provide things honest in the sight of all men.
