The raft was just emerging from Lake Popin as the squall came. In an instant it was pitching and writhing as if suddenly dropped into Charybdis, while the waves broke over it with tre? mendous uproar. Expecting instant de? struction^ the raftsman dropped on his knees and commenced praying with a vim equal to the emergency. Happening to open his eyes, he observed his compan? ion, not engaged in prayer, but pushing a pole m the water at the side of the raft.

Agricultural Societies. Tho following article from the Lynch burg ("Va.) flews, on the subject of Agri? cultural Societies, is quite as apppropri ate to this State as to Virginia; and we commend it to the attentive considera? tion of our readers: While everybody is so deeply concern? ed for the reconstruction of tho Union, it is somewhat remarkable that so little at? tention is given to a subject of equal, if not of paramount, importance?the recon? struction of the State in her social and industrial interests. The impression seems to prevail to a great extent that everything depends upon tho admission of our Senators and Representatives to the Federal Congress, and national poli? tics, consequently, absorbs the popular at? tention to tho exclusion of domestic and local affairs. Now, while it is conceded that representation in the National Gov? ernment is a very sacred and valuable light, yet there are interests nearer home of even greater practical importance to every citizen of the State?interests bo intimately connected with our prosperity as individuals and as a pooplo, that they are really indispensable to it. Tho suc? cess of the President's policy, the admis? sion of our Congressmen, and the restora? tion of our State to a position of perfect equality in the Union with all tho other States?desirable as these things are, they will not cure our worst ills, they will not restore our lost fortunes, nor put into our pockots the money necessary to meet our wants. It is not a doctrine of sordid ma? terialism that the dearest interests of a people depend upon the development of their natural resources and the increase of thoir wealth. Money or wealth, as a means is a sine qua non: food and raiment for the body, education for tho mind, can? not be procured without it. It is roquired for building and keoping up railroads and canals, for erecting churches, and for the support of ministers and teachers. A sago has said, "Tho greatest public benefactor is he that causes two blades of ' grass to grow where only one grow be? fore." It cannot be disputed that agri ! culture is our chief resource as a people ; and to this fact are we mainly indebted for the nobility of character for which the South is distinguished. Whatever, then, I may tend to the improvement of agricul ! ture has a just claim upon the attention and active support of every one among us. He cannot be wise or innocent who , looks with careless indifforenco upon any measure of enterprise tending to the pro? motion of general prosperity. It is in this view we urgo the propriety of resus? citating the Stato Agricultural Society, and the revival, under its auspiccB, of the annual Fairs, which created such a whole? some interest in the popular mind before the war. The industrial pursuits and in? terests of our impoverished section need every stimulus that can be applied to them. Nor let it bo supposed that the necessities of the people aro sufficient for this purpose; avarice is blind, and cannot see boyond a present temporary advan? tage, often obtained at the price of future permanent injury. Especially in agricul? ture, will it not do to labor with reference merely to immediate gains, without re? gard to the future. Tho worn-out old fields all around us attest tho folly of such a policy. What wo want is, that gener? ous rivalry among the tillers of the soil which tho comparison of results at tho fairs naturally inspires, that intelligent electism in farming which overcomes the obstinacy of ancient prejudice, and com? bines the elements of success drawn from various and numerous experiments. The system of annual Fairs is the most effi? cient agency for producing these results that has yet been employed, and deserves to be perpetuated. But there aro many more benefits re? sulting from Fairs. It gives to the far? mer and his family an opportunity for pleasant and profitable recreation, once a year, in a visit to them, where they meet with a vast concourse of colaborers and kindred spirits, have an opportunity of inspecting and procuring the latest im? provements in agricultural machinery, and buying and selling superior stock and seed ; and they learn, by the most infali ble tests, tho extent of the State's resour? ces, and the relative value of lands in the different sections. The advantages of those Fairs to mechanics are too obvious to be repeated, and to all classes, indeed, the benefits to accrue from them seem to us perfectly apparent. We call upon our brethren of the Press, then, in all por? tions of the State, to raise their potent voice in advocacy of the early resuscita? tion of these powerful engines of material prosperity and enlightened advancement. ,-o ? Tho Richmond correspondent of the Danville Register tells the following anec? dote about Gen. "Alleghany" Johnston, on the march to Bristoe Station in the fall of 1863. The General was riding along the road, and perceiving one of his men up a persimmon tree, hallooed out to him: "I say thorc, what are you doing up there ? Why ain't you with your regi? ment?" "I'm gettin' simmons, I am," replied the soldier. "Persimmons, thunder! They are not ripe yet. They are not fit to eat." "Yes, but General," persisted the Con fed, "I'm trying to draw my stomach up to suit the size of my rations. If it stays like it is now I shall starve." The General had nothing further to say, but rode on. -? ? There seems to be no doubt but that Stanton will soon retire from the War Department, and that Lieut. Gen. Sher? man will succeed him, for a term, at least, as Acting Secretary of War. ? It is thought that Judge Paschal, an extreme radical, will be elected to Con? gress from tho Fourth District of Texas, owing to divisions in his adversary's ranks. ? Mrs. Martha Carson died, recently, in Bibb county, Georgia, aged one hun? dred and three years, six months and three days. She had cut three sets of teeth, tho last being small and like a squirrel's. ? A negro was hanged in Chicago on the 10th ult. The night before a woman applied to tho deputy jailor for the privi? lege of being hanged in his place. She gave as a reason for her benevolent inten? tion, that she was unhappy. Her modest j request was not granted. The Winter of the Heart. Let it never come upon you. Live so that good angels may protect you from this terrible evil?the winter of the heart. Let no chilling influence freeze up the foundations of sympathy and happiness from its depths; no cold burthen settle over its withered hopes like snow on the faded flowers; no rude blasts of discon? tent moan and shriek through the deso? late chambers. Your life path may lead you amid trials which for a time seem utterly to impede your progress, and shut out the very light of heaven from your anxious gaze. Penury may take the place of ease and plonty; your luxurious home may be ex? changed for a singlo low room, the soft couch for a straw pallet?the rich viands for tho coarse food of the poor. Summer friends may forsake you, and the unpity ing world pass you with scarcely a word of compassion. You may be forced to toil wearily, steadily on, to earn a livelihood; you may encounter fraud and base avarice which would extort the last farthing, till you well nigh turn in disgust from your fel? low beings. j Death may sovor the dear ties that bind you to the earth, and leave you in fearful darkness. The noblo, manly boy, the sole hope of your declining years, may be taken from you, whilst your spirit clings to him with a wild tenacity which even the shadow of the tomb cannot wholly subdue. But amid all sorrows, do not come to the conclusion that nobody was ever so deeply afflicted as you are, and abandon every sweet anticipation of "better days" in the unknown future. Do not lose your faith in human ex? cellence because your confidence has been betrayed, nor believe that friendship is only a delusion, and love a bright phan? tom which glides away from your grasp. Do not think you are fated to be mis? erable because you are disappointed in your expectations and baffled in your pur- | suits. Do not declare that God has for? saken you, when your way is hedged with thorns, or repine sinfully when he calls your dear ones to the land beyond the grave. Keep a whole trust in heaven through every trial; bearadversity with fortitude, and look forward in hours of temptation and suffering. When your locks are whito, your steps falter on the verge of Death's gloomy vale, still strive to retain the freshness and buoyancy of spirits which would shield you from the winter of the heart. Home Virtues. In the secluded scones of home life, by influences direct and indirect, are many of those traits of character formed and tested which most ennoble our nature, and which are more serviceable to the world. In tho outward intercourse of life, the thronging mart of worldly interest, tho character assumes forms and expressions which do not belong to it. Blinded by self-love, or soothed by the flattery of the world, tho heart is hidden from itself, and we appear, are for the moment, bettor than we are! But in the privacy of home the heart wears no holiday dress. It is thero just what it is; and the thought speaks out its native language. To its virtues come thronging no public honors and praises. Home with its wide field of unob-Btrusive duties is spread alone before tho eye of divine approval, and its labors are illuminated with the light of holy lovo. Youth nevor wears a brighter beauty than when, leaving the gilded pleasures of the world, it seeks in seclusion to min? ister to tho comfort of an aged or infirm parent. Nor does intellect over beam with greater lustre than when the pride of reason bends to listen to the counsels of a mother. Tho continual recurrence of petty cares, little labors of love, and constant oppor? tunities for trifling acts of kindness, like the chisel of tho sculptor, mould and pol? ish tho heart in perfect symmetry. And doubtless a wise hand hath so mingled the cup of daily life that, by its calls upon our charity, pationco, and self-control, we may be fitted for our nobler, higher homo. Not a day comes without its pe? culiar trials; its duties which cali for ful? filment glide away forever. The infant brother prattles, disturbs us, and passes on to manhood, but the patience his child? ish caprices fostered is our enduring pos? session. Tho infirm sister or parent calls now for ceaseless activity, self-denying effort; a few days, and the wild flowers tremble above her, and we rejoice in the privilege of having ministered. And thus with all the duties which flow from that sweet word?Home. They are the school for the highest talents, the opportunities for the noblest efforts, finally to be crown? ed with tho "Well done" of heavenly ap? proval. -o Little Things.?The prcciousness of little things was never more beautifully oxpressod than in the following morceau by B. F. Taylor: Little marten-boxes of homes are gen? erally the roost happy and cozy; little villages are nearor to being atoms of a shattered paradise than anything we know of, and little fortunes bring the most content; and little hopes the least disappointments. Little words are tho 'sweetest to hear; little charities fly furtherost and stay longost on the wing; little lakes are the stillest, and little farms the best tilled.? Little books are the most read, and little songs the most loved. And, when nature would make anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes it little?little pearls, little diamonds, little dews. ? About one thousand negroes, lately living in Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee will depart from this country for Liberia, about the first of next month.
