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."

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
