On a warm summer alternoon, a lazy breeze stole through the windows of a lit? tle hot district school-house,- lifting the ?white curtauis, and'rustling the leaves of ? the copy books that lay open on the desks. Thirty or forty scholars of all ages were bending over their writing, quiet andbusy; the voice of the master, as he passed about among the writers, was the only sound. But though silent, this little, hot school-room had its heroes and heroines as certainly as the wider sphere of life. The bell rings for the writing to be laid by; and now comes the last exercise of the day, the spelling, in which nearly all the school joined. At the head of the class is a delicate little girl in a blue dress, whose bright eyes and attentive air show that she prizes her place and moans to keep it. Presently a word, which had passed all the lower end of the class, came to Eunice. The word was privilege. "P-r-i-v, priv ?i, pri vi?1-e-g-e, privilege," spelled Eu nice. But the teacher, vexed with the j mistake at the other end of tho class, mis- j understood her and passed it. The little \ girl looked amazed ; the bright color came into her cheeks and she listened eagerly to the next person, who spelled it again as she had done. -1 instil'," ut?K* , "raker your place." "I spelled it so," whispered Eunice to - ' herself tears springing to her eyes as she passed down. But, too timid to speak to the master, she remained in her place, in- j wardly determining soon to get up again. But her trials were not over. Many ex-1 pedients were tried in the school to keep out the arch enemy of all teachers?whis? pering. At length the following was adopted: The first whisperer was stood j upon the floor in front ot the teacher's I desk. Here he acted as a monitor; as j . he detected another he took his seat and i the next offender kept a sharp look-out, ! to'find. some one to take his place; for at the*close of the school the scholar who -*iiad the whisperer's place was punished very severely?as the school phrase was, "took a fending !" This plan appeared to operate very we1!, every one dreading Being found the last on the floor; but J - though it secured an orderly school, many i of-the parents and scholars doubted its justice. The boy who was on the floor when Eunice lost her place, was an unruly, surly fellow, who hnd?smarted for his faults often before; and as school drew near its dose ho began to tremble. The instant Eunice's whispered complaint reached his ear, his face brightened up; he was safe now. And when the class was dismissed, he said "Eunice whispered, sir." Eunice rose, and in a trembling voice re? lated what she had said; but the teacher saw no excuse in it, and she was called to take the place of the ungenerous boy who had told of her. Books had been put away, and the waiting school looked on in sorrowfulness as Eunice left her seat to take the dreaded punishment. She was one of the best scholars, bright, faithful, sweet-tempered, a general favorite. Every one felt that it was unjust; and many angry glances were cast at the boy who was mean enough to get a little girl whipped. Overcome with shame and fear she stood by the side of the desk, crying bitterly, while the teach ' er was prepaiing to inflict the punish? ment. At this moment a tall boy stepped out of his seat, and going to the desk, said: "Are you going to whip Eunice, sir?" "Yes, I never break my rules," the teacher said. "We will not see her whipped !"?? said the boy, in an excited voce. "There is not a boy here, but one that would see her whipped. Whip mc, sir, and keep your rule, if you must, but don't touch that lit? tle girl." The master paused; the school looked on tearfully. "Do you mean to s;.y you will take her punishment ?" asked the teacher. "I do, sir," was the bold reply. The sobbing little girl was sent to her seat, and without flinching, her friend stood and received the punishment that was. to have fallen on her. The school Was dismissed, and the boys paid him in admiration and praise for all he had suffer? ed, while the grateful little, girl blessed him from her heart for noble and generous boy, who had saved her from the greatest shame and suffering. I said the litt.le school had its heroes, and this was one of them. Do you think this conduct admirable ? Now for the moral. The punishment received by this noble boy was Christ-like; it was ono of suffer? ing from his own free will the punishment that was to have been borne by another. You see?do you not?that this is just what Christ did, who bore our sin in His own body, on the tree?the Saviour of moii. iiuw great trie gratitude each of us owes such a friend.?Bui-he's Weekly. Tjie Crooked Tkee.?A child, when asked why a certain tree grew crooked replied: "Somebody trod on'it, I suppose when it was a little fellow." How painfully suggestive is that answer! How many, with aching hearts, can remember the days of their childhood, when they were the victims of indiscreet repression, rather than the happy objects of somo kind- direction and culture! The effects of such misguid? ed discipline have been apparent in their history and character, and by no process of human devising can the wrong be recti? fied. The grand error in their education consisted in a system of rigid restraints " without corresponding efforts to developed cultivate, and train in a right direction. ' ? There is dignity about that goin? away alone, wc call dying?that wrapping the mantle of immortality about us; that putting aside with a pale hand azure cur? tains that are drawn around this cradle of a world; that venturing from home for the first time in our lives; for we are not dead, there is nothing dead to speak of, and we only go off seeing foreign countries not laid down on the map we know about. There must be lovely lands somewhere starward, for none even return that go thither, aud we much doubt if any would if they eould. Ho\v Victoria Reproved a Flirting Daughter.?An anecdote illustrating Victorias admirable good sense and strict domestic discipline, came to rac directly from one who witnessed the occurrence. One day, when the queen was present in her carriage at a military review, the princess royal, then rather a willful girl of about thirteen, sitting on the front scat, seemed disposed to be rather familiar and coquettish with, some young officers of the escort. Her majesty gave several re? proving looks, without avail?"winked at her, but she wouldn't stay winked. At i length, in flirting her handkerchief over j the side of tho carriage, she dropped it? j too evidently not accidentally. Instantly I two or three young heroes sprang from i their saddles to return it to her fair hand, i but the awftrl voice of royalty stayed ! them. "Stop, gentlemen," exclaimed the ! queen, "leave it just where it lies. !Now, I my daughter, get down from the carriage, and pick up %your handkerchief." There was no help for it. The royal footman let down the steps for the* little royal lady, who proceeded to lift from the dust the pretty piece of cambric and lace. She blushed a good deal, though she tossed her head saucily, and she was doubtless angry enough, but the mortifying lesson may havo nipped in the bud her first im? pulse towards coquetry It was hard, but it was wholesome. How many Amcri \ can mothers would bo equal to such a piece of Spartan discipline. -o-? A Pretty Foot.?What is prettier than a pretty foot? What more captivating Unra-tt Httlo boot covering a high instep, and coming down neatly over the toes, with a bewitching tassel dangling at the top of the close-locking. In nothing is aristocracy so marked as in the pedal extremity; the thin nostril, the long fin? gers, tho narrow palm, aro evidenco of gentle blood, but far less so than the round ankle, the high instep and the hollow be? neath, through which, as the high bred Arab says, a stream of water should be able to flow while the possessor is stand? ing. The flat splay foot on the contrary, as surely tells of want of pedigree as its mis-shapen excrescences, its corns and bunions drive away affection. The horse shows tho purity of his extraction by clean limbs, neat pastern a-nd sny?ll hoof; and the same result is noticeable, in more or less animals. Man falls in love as read? ily with a seductive foot as with an at? tractive face ; he finds in it a thousand expressive movements; its firm tread speaks of a decided character; its quick step denotes anger; its elasticity of mo? tion assures him of liveliness and good humor; its hasty tread denotes impatience; its subtle glide signifies cunning; while the q.uiot but marked footfall guarantees him an affectionate disposition. The face often deceives with an alluring smile; it is taught or trained by design or habit; openness is guarded and confined; but the foot speaks its own language, unrestrained and untutored ; and the male sex own a debt of gratitude to fashion for giving back honest feet to tho future adorncrs of human existence -o Tueatrical.?During Mr. Kean's per? formance of Richard III, some years ago, at the Park Theatre, New York, a great Vermontcr, who was a stranger to the mimic, art never having been at the thea? tre beforo, took a seat in the pit, pretty near tho orchestra, and was observed to watch the performance with absorbing interest. ITe never joined' in tho ap? plause bestowed on tho performers, nor in the hisses lavished on tho "supes," but silently and admiringly looked on at the play. He heard tho drum beat to arms onBosworth field?heard Richard's soul stirring address to his army, and that of Richmond also?he saw the onslaught, and heard the clash of arms, and stilf did he preserve his silence, but when at length Richard comes reeling in, overcome al? most by the loss of blood and the disas? ters of the day, crying out at tho top of his voice? "A horse! ahorse! my kingdom for a horse!!': the vermontcr rose and "sung" out,? "Look here, stranger, I haint got no horse, but I have a first-rate bob tail marc round hero at the stable?as sure footed a critter as ever cantered ; just hold on there, I'll be blamed if I don't bring her to yon right off!" The Vermontcr, as the}' say in critical narlancc, "brought down the house." Soul Anxtkty.?Ah ! if one could go through all his soul, hall by hall, chamber by chamber, story by story, and see how vast the mansion is, how it gets out of re? pair on every side, and how many vermin arc' perpetually seeking to make lodg? ment in it, he, methinks, might afford to havo as much anxiety for that soul as a housewife has for her house, whose work begins with ei*cry da}- and never cuds ; and who, with brush and broom, and with servant following, incessantly searches, searches, searches. And yet, some shin? gle is off, some paint is gone, some glass is broken, rats and mice are in the walls and partitions, hero and there are webs with their victims on them, and dust and dirt everywhere You cannot keep even a house in order; and when that house is this wondrous house of tho soul, with trooping thought and feelings that no army ever equaled for numbers, is there no occasion for apprehension on account of that? And every work that a man is called to as a disciple of Christ,is one that should keep him waked up, not by a vul? gar fear, but that salutary apprehension which goes by love. **- o ? The pleasant story is told that when the Rev. Dr. U.-\ of Scotland, ob? tained the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, a fanner in the parish took an early opportunity of stating the news to his shepherd, with whom the minister was a particular favorite. "You will be glad to hear, Johnny, that the University of St. Andrew's has conferred on our minister a doctor's degree." "I am in no ways sur? prised at that," said the shepherd." "Mair than- twenty years ago he cured my wife of the colic, lie should have been a Doctor lang syne!" ? A good natured fellow, who was near? ly eaten out of house and home by the con? stant visits of his frriends, was one day complaining bitterly of his numerous visi? tors. "Shure, an' I'll tell ye how to get rid of em," said an Irishman.. 'Tray how?" "Lind money to the poor ones and borrow money from the rich ones, and neither sort \ will lver trouble yc agin." mid ?>arrirn. High Manuring. Will' high manuring pay ? This is a question which in the practice of farming is becoming a very important one, and its decision will involve another important question, viz: whether farming, like other kinds of business, will give profitable em? ployment for increased amounts of capital, or whether this amount is in a measure fixed and cannot be exceeded with a pros? pect of a fair interest for the principal so invested. Or to put the question in a more open and easily understood form: Can a far? mer who has his farm entirely or partially paid for, obtain a better interest by invest? ing his earnings in artificial manures, than he can from Government or other popular loans'? I can now point out farmers who are (in addition to all the barnyard manure which they can manufacture) using from one thousand to fifteen hundred pounds of bone dust per acre, and to one in particu? lar who in addition to a liberal coat of barnyard manure (such as would have sat? isfied most of us,) gave his wheat a top dressing of twelve hundred and seventy five pounds of home-made superphosphate, per acre. Some of his old-fashioned neighbors shake their heads and say "it won't pay," "can't do it long," &c. &c; but he has been carrying on in the same place for several years, and can raise crops which surprise those who know what was taken oft' the lnnd before he came into possession of it, and yet he says he docs not think that he has reached the amount which will give the best interest for the capital in? vested. His axiom is that he can afford to buy his farm over again, and with phosphate at $65 per ton put on at the rate of twelve to thirteen hundred pounds per acre, his old fashioned neighbors seem to think he will not be long bringing about the above expenditure. Hut what plays the mischief with us old fashioned folks, is, he has figures for all he doc?, (and "figures won't lie,'' a fashiona? ble lady to the contrary notwithstanding,) and can show us doubters it all in black and white. He can show that the above top-dress? ing, put on at a cost of $40 per acre, will increase his crops as follows: Corn, 20 bus. at SI.00, S20.00 Oats, 20 bus. at 50, 10.00 Wheat. 15 bus. at 1.50, 22.00 Hay, 1 ton at S15.00, 15.00 SG7.50. And that in addition to the above in? crease, he will, after mowing twice, be able to stock the field at least one-third heavier than before it received the phos? phate. In addition to the above, by increasing his hay crop he increases his ability to winter stock-cattle and fatten others on grain, ard thus is continually in this ratio increasing his stock of *arm-yard mauure, which, although valuable, I have not count? ed in the above calculation. He and I are both satisfied that the capi? tal thus invested pays him at least twenty five per cent, and lasts for seven or eight years, and at the end of that leaves him an increased value in farm-yard manure fully equal to the amount of the invest? ment. The truth is, we look upon capital in Vested in this way as being so much chargeable to the land, and not as capital invested in a business in order to increase future profits. In this respect (and in many others.) the English agriculturists are far ahead of us. A renter in England will often expend one-half the first cost of the land during the first year of his lease. Our American farmer will at once ask "Why don't he- buy ?" My answer is that he forms no exception to the rule that all men are governed by self-interest, and he finds it more to his interest to invest his money in applying manure to land not his own than to have his money invested in the land as owner: the land belongs to some of the nobility who rent it to good men upon the long-lease system and give themselves no farther trouble about it. I know of farmers who will read this article owning and carrying on good farms who have money invested in morgages at four and five per cent., when they might as well have it invested in their own farms to a much greater advantage to themselves. To show that I do not confine myself to theory alone, I will state that I have land now under crop on which in two years I have put two thousand pounds of bone dust and five hundred pounds of phosphate per acre, and next year expect to raise a crop, and can say that no investment ever paid me better.?Cor. Germantown Tele graph. The A i la nth us.?There is a great hue nnd cry throughout the West just now against tho Ailanthus; but a writer in the Cincinnati Times thus defends it: '-The Ailanthus tree is a native of the north? ern provinces of China, brought from (here in 1750. The tree wilt grow in any soil, and to a large size where scarcely any other tree will grow at all. It grows so- rapidly that it may be cut down for fuel every fourth year. As fuel, the wood is superior to that of most other trees; for open fires I prefer i', to any other wood. It makes a. clear bright flume, and throws out a great deal of heat. Its charcoal is of a superior quality, and its ashes rich for potash. Its wood burns well when green, and every branch and limb may be cut up into stove wood,, leav? ing no brush on the ground. The wood is hard and of a fine grain, and well fitted for cabinet making. Sooner or later our farmers must, grow wood for fuel and for cabinet making, and the Ailanthus tree oilers itself as the most available tree for that purpose.?Scientific American. Manukiku TltKES.?Now is a good time to put some manure round your fruit trees. The fall and early spring rains will carry the soluble elements into fresh soil and cause them to start with fresh vigor into early spring and summer. Apple trees will send out their roots a great distance for food. We recently cut oft" roots a dis? tance of forty feet from an apple tree. Thus a single tree may extend its roots across the diameter of a circle two hun? dred und fifty Jeet in circumference. We arc inclined to the belief that manure should, not be placed close to the trunks of the trees, but at a distance of a few feet troiu ?wui.?ALiine Farmer. About Mules, The Louisville Industrial "Gazette" says, "Few of the farmers of this country are aware what a debt of gratitude they owe George Washington for the introduction of mules into general use for farm pur? poses. Previous to 1783 there were very few, and those of such an inferior order as to prejudice farmers against them as unfit to compete with horses in work upon the road or farm. Consequently there were no jacks, and no disposition toinereasethe stock; but Washington became convinced that the introduction of mules generally among Southern planters would prove to them a great blessing, as they arc less lia? ble to disease, and longer lived, and work upon shorter fectf;, and are much less liable to be injured thau horses, by careless ser? vants. As soon as it became known abroad that C?3 illustrious Washington desired to stock his Mount Vernon estate with mules the King of Spain sent him a jack and two jennies from the royal st'ibles, and Lafa? yette sent another jack and jenuie from the island of Malta. The first was a gray color, sixteen hands high, heavily made and of sluggish nature. He was named the Royal Gift. The other was called the Knight of Malta; he was about as high, but lighter made, black color, and a little fiery, even to fe? rocity. The two different sets of animals gave him the most favorable opportunity of making improvements by cross-breeding, the result of which was a favorite jack, which he called Compound, because he partook of the best points in both of the original jacks. The General bred his blooded mares to these jacks, even taking those from his family coach for that pur? pose, and produced such stubborn mules that the country was all agog to breed some of the sort, and they soon became quite common. This was the origin of improved mules in the United States. Though over seventy years ago, there are now some of the third and fourth genera? tion of the Knights of Malta and Royal gift to be found in Virginia, and the great benefits arising from their introduction to the country are to be seen upon almost every cultivated acre in the Southern States. Notwithstanding the enormous increase of late years, arising from a sys? tematic course of breeding in the Northern States for the Southern market, mules were never more valuable thau at present, or more ready sale at high prices. -o Saltix?t Stock.?"So far as I know," wrifes a retired firmer, but an attentive reader of our paper, "stock growers are very generally following in the footstep of their forefathers, by occasionally giving a stiuted. quantity of salt to their stock. " In the Summer they often throw it on the ground, in the pasture, and being so starved for salt, the stock will often cat the ground because of its being impregna? ted with salt. One of the greatest errors now practiced by our stock growers, is the neglect to give their stock the requisite amount of salt. I should as soon" think of stjnting my stock with water as salt. My mode of salting lor a number of years has been to keep a sufficient quanti? ty of salt in a trough in my pastures and }-ards, so that my stock may have free ac? cess to it, and eat of it as often as they wish, and as much as they wish, always keeping up the supply. I think our stock know better than we do when they want salt and how much they need. They as well know whe-n they want salt as they do when they want water, and when they have eaten all they crave, they will cat no more. When they have grass in the Sum? mer they will cat salt every day. Cows will give more and better milk b\ having free access to salt than when deprived ol lit. A great share of the diseases among stock, is in consequence of their being stinted with salt. I would caution not to give free access to salt at once, but in? crease the quantity by degrees for about two weeks, otherwise they may be starved for salt and eat so much as to injure them." -o How to Make Suricn-PnosruATK.?To one hundred pounds of water in a half ; hogshead tub, add slowly forty-three pounds of sulphuric acid, (oil of vitrol.J To this add one hundred pounds broken bones. To be stirred occasionally and the hones will be dissolved in three weeks. Then add four times its bulk in muck (dry if you have it.) The tub should be kept covered. If the material is kept hot, three days will do it as well as three weeks, if cold. To dissolve bones without acid. To a flour barrel full, put one-half bushel hard wood ashes, then alternately a layer of hones and ashes, ending with ashes; add water sufficient to wet, but not to drip; brine is much better. In time these bones will dissolvo. This mixture is a powerful fe rti 1 i/.c r.?Ma in c Farmer. Regularly Sold. ? Two gentlemen from New York, one of whom had been in California nearly a year, and the other just arrived, were accidentally overheard in the following conversation at the Sut tcr House, Sacramento'. The new comer was lamenting his condition, and his folly in leaving an abundance at home, and es? pecially two beautiful daughters who were just budding into womanhood? when ho asked the other if he had a fam? ily. I "Yes, sir, I have. I havo a wife and six children in New Y'ork?and I never saw one of them." After this the couple sat a few moments in silence, and then the interrogator again commenced : "Wcro you ever blind, sir ?" "No. sir." "Did you- marry a widow, sir ?'r "No, sir." Another lapse of silence. "Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and six children living in Now York and had never seen ono of them'/" "Yes, sir?I so stated it." Another and a long pause of silence. Then the interrogator inquired : "How can it be, sir, that younovcrsaw one of them ?" "Why," was thcrcsponso, "one of them was born after I left." "Oh ! ah!" and a general laugh fol? lowed. After that the first New Yorker was especially distinguished as "the man who has- six children and never saw ono of them." j United States District Court.?This Court, which has heen in session at Green? ville for six weeks, adjourned on Saturday, 14th inst. The presiding Judge, Hon. Geo. S. Bryan, has gained hosts of friends during the recent term. An immense amount of business has been disposed of. The case of the United Sates vs. George R. Crump, William B. Davidson and Frank Arnim, charged with violation of Internal Revenue laws, was the jast one ott trial, and occupied the attention of the Court some fifteen days. The offence charged was somewhat complicated invol? ving the violation of various clauses of the Internal Rei-crme Act; such as distillation without having paid the special tax -f not keeping books specifying the quantity dis? tilled; distillation of vinegar and whiskey in the same establishment, <fcc. From the evidence it appeared that Cap? tain Ara?ffi was employed by Messrs. Davidson and Crump to conduct some vin? egar works in Hamburg, near Augusta. Captain Arnim, it was alleged, distilled whiskey without complying with the law. He, however contended that he only recti? fied some inferior whiskey into good whis? key. He called it clarifying. He also said he made low winos out of molasses for the purpose of turning it into vinegar, and that this had been regarded by the in? formers as distilling. Messrs. Arnim, Davidson and Crump were indicted together, although the two latter endeavored to show that if whiskey was made'at the vinegar works, it was without their sanction, and that they nev? er knew anything about it. This state? ment was sworn to by .Messrs. Cru-mpand Davidson in their defence. A verdict of "Guilty" was rendered, and the defendants sentenced to pay a fine and costs, in all amounting to ?12, 400. or tobe imprisoned for one year. ? A certain judge, who was notorious for carrying the precise and formal habits of the bench into private life, was one day entertaining some friends at his table, and asked a magistrate, who was present, if he would take some venison. "I thank you, my lord," was the reply, "I am going to take some boiled chicken." "That, sir,'' testily answered the judge, "is no answer to my question. I ask you again if you will take some venison, sir, and I will trouble you to say yes or no, without fur? ther prevarication." -? ?
