MY JEALOUSY. A PRETTY IilTTIiE STORY. -0 t:I just wish you'd tell me!" said Min? nie, with the least perceptible pout on her pretty lip. Now-, Minniowas a round cheeked, rosy, Httle maid, with big biu'e eyes, fringed around with brown lashes and a coy dim? ple that sometimes came out on her cheek and sometimes on her chin, but always where you least expected it. And, more? over, I havo no objection to impart to the reader, (in strict confidence, of course,) . that she was my Minnie?mine, by virtue of the diamond engagement ring that sparkled so knowingly on her Iittle_ left trand. So of course I had the privilege of tantalizing her, and I used it, too. "Woman's curiosity!" said I, with a shrug of my shoulders, "and ferainino jealousy!" "Nonsense!" said Minnie, coloring up. "I- suppose men are nevor curious nor jealous, either ?" "Never!" quoth I, with a smile of calm superiority. "Then you won't tell mo, Clarence ?". "Tthink ma chere, your curiosity and the other emotion?need a littlo discip? line!" Now, why on earth I wanted to be so provoking, I can't tell; the natural per? versity of man, most probably, for there was no other reason that I should not have told Minnie Rives jus', why I was obliged to go home early that evening?a Masonic lodge meeting, and nothing more important. She did not say a word, but turned qui? etly away and went up stairs for my little bouquet of heliothrope and geranium leaves that she generally fastened into my button-hole before I went away. And in the very instant chat she closed the door, I saw the downward flutter of a lit? tle slip of white paper from her dress. Instinctively I stooped to pick it up ; and as 1 stooped, I could not avoid read? ing the characters inscribed thereon, in a clear, masculine chirography: "5. 11.?At Mason & Dobcll's. No disappointment this time. B. M." I felt the crimson flush mounting to my temples in a burning current, as 1 read . and re-read tho mysterious words, "E. M." Didn't I remember that Edward Mason was Minnie's second cousin, and a provokirigly handsome fellow at that ? Had I forgotten that people used to think what a "pretty couple" they'd make be . fore I stepped to tho tapis ? "E. M.," in? deed! And I clenched my fists involun ' tarily as I crumpled tho pap3r inside its grasp. '?And what are you looking for, Min? nie?" She stood with one hand resting lightly on the door-knob, glancing uneasily round the floor, .while there was a guilty flush on her cheek. j "1?that is?have you seen a little slip of paper lying about?" "No!" I uttered the falsehood with deliberate calmness, even while the tell-tale billet lay in my hand. So?she was anxious about it, eh ? She didn't like the idea that I should have an insight into her little arrangements with ? llE. M." Ah! false and fair?all women are alike. "I am going." "Good night!" I held her hand a moment in mine; but I. did not kiss her as usual?tho iron had entered far too deeply into my soul for that. ? "5?11." Of course the wholo thing was as plain 'as daylight. To-day was the fourth of the month?it was simply :an appointment for the morrow, at eleven o'clock. I ground my teeth us the truth flashed across my brain. "No disappoint? ment this- time!" I would like to have challenged Edward Mason to mortal com? bat on the instant, were it not that duels were entirely out of fashion. What busi? ness had he to lay down the law to my Minnie? But there was one comfort? Jack Dobcll was ray old friend; he would not see me wronged if he could help it, and I promptly resolved to appeal to Jack for aid and justice. I glanced at my watch. Nine o'clock? too late for the Masonic meeting, and cer? tainly too late to seek out3Ir. DobeM, who was at his counting-house long before this. And 60 I lighted the gas and sat down to chew the cud of my own bitter medita? tions. The more I meditated on my in? juries, the more furious I became, until, as tho clock chimed midnight, I took my final rosolve. I will not be made a fool of?I will east her off aa unworthy cf my love; but first I will possess myself of a clue to this great mystery and accuse her boldly to her face. So I went to bed to dream fitfully all night of the monster sheets of phospho? rescent paper, with "E. M.," dancing scarlet fire all over the expanse. "Is Mr. Dobell in ?" Yes, Mr. Dobell was in, and one of the clerks respectfully ushered me into the little private office where my friend Jack was sitting over a voluminous pile of let? ters*. "Dobol-, I want you to do me a great favor?will you ?" "Certainly, if I can." "I looked up at the clock?it wanted just fifteen minutes to eleven, and I hur? riedly confided the wholo story of my wrongs to Jack's honosti breast. He stood stroking down his red whis? kers reflectively. "My dear fellow, I really think you'ro attaching too much importance to a more trifle." "A trifle!" I bit my lip until the blood came. "It's very plain to see that you'ro not standing in my peculiar position, Do? bell." '"Shall I send for Mason ? He is in tho shop, I have no doubt." "You will do nothing of the Bort." "Well, then, what is it you require of me?" "Listen, then. She will come hero, probablj', at eleven, to?seo Mason, con? found him !" "\Velirr "Where will he be most likely to re? ceive her ?" "In this room. I suppose." J "Is there no place where I coultf be an unseen auditor of their conversation ?" "Why, there's tho wardrobe, tut?" "Say no more?tho very place !" I ex? claimed, exultingly. The clock struck eleven as Mr. D'obell took his leave; and I hurriedly ensconsed myself in tho wardrobe, with my head against the collar of Jack's business coat, and m'v lower extremities in a perfec? grove of linen dusters and obsolete pan? taloons. Africa and Sandwich Islands ! . It was getting decidedly tropical! I wiped* the dew from my glowing forehead. Why didn't Minnio come if she was coming ? I pushed tho door a quarter of an inch open. , , Shades of Fahrenhit, how hot it was ! A thermometer would certainly havo stood at a hundred in this close atmos? phere! I was streaming with perspira? tion ! my hair was as wet as if I had stood in a summer shower, but I would have cheerfully remained there all day to detect the monstrous conspiracy between my Minnie and "E. M." One o'clock. Decidedly, this was get? ting rather monotonous! I was inclined to bo very sleepy, but it wouldn't do to yield to tho blandishments of Morpheus. If I could have indulged in a cigar! But my patience was not destined to go ontirely unrewarded. Just as I was anx? iously waiting for tho relentless clock to strike two, there was a flutter of silken garments on my ear?the sound of Min? nie's sweet, familiar voice: "I am sorry I lost that memorandum, Edward." (Sorry ! I heard it!) "It isn't of any consequence, Minnie, we'll make it all straight." (Would he ?) "Let me see," said Edward, reflective? ly. "Five yards at eleven shillings. When do you want it finished ? "By Thursday; it'B Clarence's birthday." (I pricked up my cars attentively.) "I think I can promise it to you by that time. I was sorry to disappoint you be? fore, but we really hadn't a bit of any? thing in the shop that was at all appro? priate for a dressing gown. Tho materi? al is elegant?crimson leaves, you see, on a fawn-colored ground." "Beautiful!" ejaculated Minnio, cxtati cally. "And yon want it lined with crimson silk, with crimson cord and tassels ?" " Of course. How pleased Clarence will be !" (If there had been a crack in tho bot? tom of that wardrobe, I must assured!}' havo fallen through it, so exceedingly small did 1 feel.) "Dear Clarence," went on my innocent Minnie, "I don't think he felt very well last night, he was so strange and abrupt in his manner." "Very likely," yawned "E. M.," with a provoking indifference. "By the way, Minnie, in what direction aro you going?" "Homo, of course. Clarence may call this afternoon." (My devoted little darling! I onl} wish that I and tho wardrobe were in the midst of that Lybian deaert; or some equally distant spot.) "Then I'll escort you. Dobell will bo back presently, and there's no necessity for my staying here. Just wait half a second until I got my hat." Tho blood in ray whole veins seemed turned for a second to ice, and then again to fire. What a blockhead I had been not to foresee this emergency; I held my breath and clung desperately to the inner handle of tho wardrobe, as I felt Edward Mason's touch upon the outer. "Why," soliloquized that young gentle? man, in a puzzled tono of voice, "what on earth ails this door handle?it won't turn." And he gave it an energetic wrench that defied all my efforts to impede its revolution. Tho door flew open, and I stood rovealed among tho coats and dus? ters like a modern edition of one of Bel zoni's mummies! "Hallo !" ejaculated Mason, staring at me in blank astonishment, while Minnie's eyes grew bigger and bluer than I had deemed it possible for eyes to be. "Well!" said Edward", resignedly, "I'd like to know how you came here?" I wasn't going to favor him with any explanations; sol turnedsomowhatsheep? ishly to my littlo betrothed. "Minnie?darling?you'll think me very ridiculous aud absurd : but I confess that, that?" I courageously drew tho slip of paper from my pocket and placed it in her hand. "I found that on the parlor floor last night, Minnie; it excited my curiosity, and I fancied all sorts of ridiculous things. So I camo down here to?" "To hide in a wardrobe," said Miss Minnie, mischievously. "Man'scuriosity ! and to find out what I meant by coming to sco poor, dear Edward?man's jeal? ousy ! I didn't suppose that such emo? tions existed in the masculine mind." "Minnio!" I pleaded appcalingly, while that coarse wretch, Edward Mason, burst into a laugh that jarred ou my every nerve. "I won't tease you any more, Clarence," she said, putting up her roso-bud lips for a rcconciliatory kiss. Isn't a woman always ready to forgive any fault that springs from too much de? votion to herself? To Minnie's credit be it spoken, that from that day to this, I havo never beard a word of tho wardrobo business. But then, to be sure, I had been particularly careful not to mention tho well known fact, that women are jeal? ous and curious, in my wife's presence. And I am writing this littlo confession in tho identical fawn-colored wrapper, with crimson palm-leaves, trimmed with eord and tassels to match. ? In the midst of a stormy discussion a gcnlteman rose to settle the matter in dispute. Waving his hands majestically over the excited disputants, he began: "Gentlemen, all I want is common sense." "Exactly," Jerrold interrupted, that is precisely what you want!" The discus? sion was lost in a burst of laughter. ? Never fret about what you can't help, because it won't do any good. Nev? er fret about what you can help because it you can help it do so. When you are tempted to grumble about anything ask yourself, "Can I help this?" and if you can't don't iret; but if you can, do so, and see how much better you will feel. J Advice for Both Sides, The following reminds us of one of the old spclling-boolc stories concerning a farmer and a lawyer, in which it finally turned out that "it was your bull that gored one of my oxen" : A countryman walked into the office of a lawyer one day, and bogan his applica? tion. ''Sir, I have come to get your advice in a Case that is giving me some trouble." "Well, what's the matter?" "Suppose, now," said tho client, "that a man had ono spring of water on his land, and his neighbor living below should build a dam across the creek through both farms, and it was to back the water up into the other man's spring, what ought to bo done ?" "Sue him, sir, sue him, by all means," said the lawyer, who always became ex? cited in proportion to the aggravation of his clients. "You can recover heavy damages, sir, and the law will make him pa}' well for it. Just give me the case, and I'll bring the money from him." "But stop," cried the terrified applicant for legal advice. "It's I that havo built tho darn, and it's neighbor Jones that owns tho spring, and he threatens to sue me." Tho keen lawyer hesitated a moment before he tacked his ship and kept on. "Ah ! well, sir, you say 3'ou built a dam across that creek. What sort of a dam was it was it, sir ?" "It was a mill-dam." "A mill-dam for grinding grain, was it?" "Yes, it was just that." "And it is a good neighborhood mill, is it?" "So it is, sir, and you may welJ say so." "And all your neighbors bring their grain to be ground, do they ?" "Yes, sir, all but Jones." "Then it's a great public convenience, is?it not?" "To be sure it is. I would not have built it but for that. It is so far superior to an}- other mill, sir." "And now," said tho old lawyer, '-'you tell me that Jones is complaining just be? cause tho water from the dam happens to put back into his little spring, and he is now threatening to sue you. Well, all I have to say is, let him suo, and he'll rue the day as suro as my name is Barns." Wut gum and tedtn. Pork Raising. WHAT KIND OF HOGS WE SHOULD RAISE. Editors of the Southern Cultivator:?As many families have not access to a daily market, to procure fresh meat, bacon is tho most convenient substitute, and for persons who aro exposed to the cold, or undergo hard labor, just as healthy as beef or mutton, and may be grown nearly as cheap. Tho plan cf raising hogs from the corn crib exclusively, as was the mode in Georgia, under the old rule, must pass away, with many other customs of the good old times, gone never to return. What method of raising, and what variety of hogs is best adapted now to Georgia is the important inquiry? Ic is ruinous to grow cotton at the rate of 300 to 600 lbs. to the acre, and then purchase bacon from the West. Lately, a friend was showing mo his hogs, and explaining their valuable quali? ties. I differed with him and called his attention to the hogs of a neighbor. Iiis answer was, my hogs are an industrious set?they will travel miles to hunt mast and provide for themselves; while those you like stay around the house, lay in the sun, get mangy, and starve. This will illustrate two varieties, and two distinct methods of raising hogs. Ore was a long-legged, large-boned hog, cov? ered with a heavy coat of hair, and would forage for miles on tho neighbor's crops, and whip the dogs off when attacked. These hogs, when penned for two months and well fed, and fully grown, will weigh 175 lbs. These hogs were well adapted to tho earlier civilization of the country, when open land was plenty, and the range good, and at the time was true economy ; but at a later date, was a pro? lific cause of trouble and enntity between neighbors A farmer moved from Geor? gia to Arkansas?he built Georgia fences. The first year his corn fields were depre? dated on in spite of all he could do, by the hogs of a neighbor living four miles oft*. Asa last resource, to rid himself of the pest, he caught one of the hogR, after a long chase, and penned him up for future operations, lie killed a bear much easier I than he caught the hog. Some days after, \ seeing all the hogs in his field again, he sewed the hog in tho pen up in the bear skin, and turned him in the field. The hog, in great disgust at his now clothing, started to join his companions who, see? ing their mortal enemy coming after them, started off at the rate of bear catch the hindmost. Tho last heard of* them was six miles off, all moving for life, and the bear still after them and apparently the most frightened. They never came back to visit him or even their owner. Pork raised in this way is now a costly dirt. Some seasons, the corn consumed is worth more than tho meat produced. The hog is, of all animals, the least dainty in his food?ho is omnivorous; but the food is by no means a matter of indiffer? ence, when the quantity and quality of the flesh comes to bo considered. Hus? bandry, in regard to the hog, comprises two distinct periods?the growth of the animal and its fattening. We cannot advantageously raiso a hog that is too quiet, (or as my friend would say lazy.) So wc must adopt a medium coure, and get such a stock of hogs as can be raised on pasture, and thus save tho corn crib. In tho West, very little corn is consumed by the growing hogs. Hogs that aro to be raised in tho pen, and fed on grain, should bo of tho small quiet kincL, coming rapidly to maturity, such as tho Cobit or Guinoa. The Irish Grazier and tho Woburn would bo well adapted to our purpose. Thoy can bo made to weigh at 15 months old, 200 to 000 lbs. Supposing a good variety of hogs to have been selected, and only thoso having good points chosen as stock hogs, let the pigs come in August, whon it is intended to keep them 15 months old; for the reason that a pig-San bo kept much cheaper through tho winter, than a largo hog, and by winter the pigs arc strong enough to stand the cold. When it is intended to lorco tho animals in ten months, as can bo done, the pigs should corao in Fcbrua ry. As soon as weaned, the pigs should be put on clover or good grass pastures, and kept in good order?not fat; for it has been found by expert Ace that very fat pigs do not grow as largo, or havo as much red flesh as those kept in good order. When it is desired to push them, feed on field peas, ground to coarse meal, (or other nitrogenous food,) as they produce muscle or red flesh on grass, oatsand rye, until ready for fattening; them' they may be put on chufus, or ground peas, which contain large fat producing elements in very great proportion, and are cheaply grown; and finally, tho fat hardened-on corn meal, for which there can be no sub? stitute. We may sum up in a few sentences. Wc want pastures, and a grazing, quiet hog?one that comes rapidly to maturity, and will take on fat when required, (which all varieties will not do;) one that will mature in months; not a corn crib hog, or a wild Arab, to forago on the commu? nity?one that stays at home. A favor? ite amusement of certain new citizens of the United States in this part of the coun? try, is Pussum hunting, which often ter? minates in a hog lound! With plenty of good food, the diseases of hogs are few but simple, except cholera, of which I am not prepared to treat. The same land and labor can be made to produce in a given time as great a weight of pork as any other meat, and at nearly the same cost; but for persons who live near a daily market, and light work, it can never compete with the lighter meats. As the country becomes thickly settled, lighter meats, as fowls, domestic game, fish, &c, must supplant bacon. -* Turnips. If full crops of the Buta Baga and Aber? deen varieties of Turnip seed have not been already sown, delay no longer. A rich, light loam suits the turnip best, but it will grow and do well on almost any kind of land, well prepared and manured. The planter should select the best ground he has. break it deep and pulverize well. If he has manure enough he should broad? cast it over the ground before plowing; if not, the land should be trenched, (after being plowed as deep as possible,) with a scooter, or narrow-shovel, and the manure distributed in the trench, and then the trenches covered by a light turnplow, and tho ridges formed ; the seed put in with a drill, if to be had. A bottlo, with the mouth covered by a piece of sheet lead, perforated like a pepper-box lid, makes a very good apparatus for sowing the seed. The ridges should bo about 20 inches apart, and the seed so put in that tho plants will stand about ten inches apart in the drill. Thus planted the after cul? ture of tho turnip becomes an easy mat? ter. We of the South havo never properly estimated the importance of this crop. In Europe it is second to scarcely anj'thing else oxcept the wheat crop. Ilorses, cat? tle and sheep arc fed with the turnip, and thrive and do well upon it. Here, the turnip is equally important in an economi? cal husbanding of our resources. It may bo made lo yield as well, and wc may save the trouble and expense of gathering and housing the crop, whfch they have to incur in Europe. If our people, could be once induced to try the experiment fairly, after that the Buta Baga would be found to be one of our most valuable staple pro? ductions. It is not too soon to begin to prepare the ground for the later varieties of tur? nip, which should be sown about tho 20th of August. The best varieties for the ta? ble are the Whito Flat Dutch, and tho Bed Top, also, a flat turnip. These aro the earliest varieties. Atthesamo time these are sown, the CMobo and Norfolk, field turnips, should also be sown. They come later, and wili stand all the winter, retaining their crisp ness and sweetness. These varieties should be sown also for stock. The yield per acre is enormous, and they are inval? uable as a food for stock. A similar pre? paration and manuring of tho land as prescribed for Buta Baga, is requisite for the successful growing of the other varie? ties of the turnip. A correspondent of the Southern Agri cult arid, sa}*s: To such a state of perfection have the English brought the culturo of turnips, that they have revolutionized the agri? culture of the Kingdom, and the turnip crop of England is annually worth moro than the Cotton crop of the United States. Sow common turnips in August, Septem? ber and October. The Buta Baga may be sown from 20th July to September; should be planted in drills, two lect apart, and thinned out to twelve or fourteen inches. The Buta Baga is destined soon to work a great change in South? ern agriculture. They aro as casilj' man? aged us the common turnip, are more nu? tritive, keep much longer, and afford greens equal to collards, if not superior. Stock of all kinds are fond cf them, and from their rich golden color, sweet and delicate flavor, arc unsurpassed for tho table. Farmers, try the Buta Baga, and learn how it saves the corn-crib! Tho Buta Baga is not inclined to seed in this climate; but this is a benefit rather than an objection, as thereby tho root keeps sound much longer. A correspondent of the Rural American gives the following, which rs an English mode, and which ho has proved in this country: To prepare tho seed before sowing, take a dish that is large enough to hold all the seed that is intended to bo sown, and turn on enough now milk to cover tho seed; let it soak six hours, then drain it dry; take sulphur, and put on a good quantity, mixing it thoroughly beforo sowing; the milk causes tho sulphur to adhcro to the seed, and as tho seed vegetates, the strength of tho sulphur so impregnates tho young plant that tho turnip fly will not molest it. -^-:? A Few Hints on Wheat Culture. Farmers arc beginning to think about preparing their ground for wheat. A few words on the subject may not bo inappro? priate When the ground is properly pro pared, and tho seed properly sown?the wheat crop, on farms distant from market, is one of the most profitable. There is but; littlo wheat put in as it ought to bo. In too many cases, tho ground is plowed but once, and then hut three or lour inches in depth. Can a heavy crop bo expected from such a preparation ? Tho soil should be plowed to the depth of, at least, 12 inches, and it should be plowed two- or threctimes before tho seed is60wn'. Sortie practice sub-6oiling. and say that it pays thertr abundantly. By this depth of plow? ing, not onl}* is there more plant foci fur? nished?not only can tho roots run- down deeper into the soil, and thus be able to better withstand the upheaving of the earth by the winter frosts?not only can they better crtdure th9 severe drouths of the succeeding spring, (such as we have just passed through); but what is more important than all, the great depth of soil furnishes an excellent drainage for the winter rains, allowing the water to work down into the'soil, and to gradually -work: off, thus preventing winter-killing by the plants being heaved out by the constant thawing and-freezing, and the upheaval of the soil, where it is moist, exposing the roots of the plants to tho drying winds and cutting frosts. Not a winter passes but in some seetion- or other, or in all sec? tions, we hear that the wheat is "winter? killed." And so it is, when put in so shallow: but, when put in properly, no such complaint will be hoard. In selecting ground for wheat, choose that which is rolling and naturally well drained. In the Northern climate, where snow falls and lays upon the ground all winter, this is not so important. But here, where we have rain instead of snow, where it thaws one day and freezes the next, or docs both on tho same day?it is a matter of tho first importance. It is also important to plow the ground in what are termed back furrows, leaving open or water furrows to carry off the surplus water. We urge the value of the drill in put? ting in tho seed. It can certainly be done more evenly, and tho plants will be less liable to bo heaved out. The- yield will also prove greater. Seed is a matter of tho first importance. None but the plumpest and best should ever bo U6cd. It should be fanned and re-fanned, and ai'l tho foul seed and. light kernels blown from it. Then it should bc washed in lime water, or other pickle, re? moving everything from the kernel that may affect the health of tho plant. The little oxtra labor used in cleansing and purifying the seed, will reward one a hundred-fold. Then cheat or chess, oats, &c, will be strangers to- the coming crop, tho succeeding spring, and tho field will be a pleasant sight to behold.? Valley Farmer.
