Editor : Since the close of the war, I gee that a great many young men have been thronging to the towns and cities in search of congenial employment?something easier and and more respectable, as they imagine, than working on the farm. The towns and cities have long been over crowded; but still the mi? gration from the farms continues, and it is feared that unless it is checked in some way, the men of the South will become traders in? stead of producers. I would advise the young men to remain at their homes and learn to produce the wealth that the South needs, instead of drifting to towns and cities where they can barely eke out a living, while the agricultural interests of the State go to ruin for the want of proper persons to direct them. What the South needs at the present time, and will continue to need for some years to come, is labor. There is no lack of lawyers, doctors and editors, in any of the Southern States. There is hardly a spare seat in any of the learned professions. The various depart? ments of trade are more than occupied. Men versed in politics are quite numerous enough to look after the public interest. There is no place unfilled except in the field of manual la? bor, and that place, which is certainly the most honorable, is the one which the young men ap? pear to be unwilling to fill. It is not to be denied that in the early days of the republic, farm labor was not regarded in as favorable a light as it is now. The farmer in those-days was a drudge. He knew little, and oared little what was going on in the world out Bide of his one or two hundred acres. But it is not so now. The farmer has become a power in the country. It is not necessary to trace the cause of his elevation. It is sufficient to know that the laboring classes stand as high in practical culture as any other portion of the community. They possess as clear an intellect, as sound a judgment, and are capabie of as apt an appreciation of public questions and inter? ests, as men brought up in the active centres of business and politics. No farmer now consid? ers himself beneath the merchant or profession? al man in the qualities which constitute manly dignity. In brief, all intelligent men have learned to regard labor in its true light?as one of the most honorable and dignified callings in which man can be engaged. With the spread of intelligence, the social prejudice against manual labor has died out, and at the present time there is no class more respected, or more worthy of respect, than that which develops and utilizes the wealth of the soil. The present generation of Southern planters and farmers must disappear befora many years. When the men who have directed the labor of the South for the past twenty years shall have passed away, others ought to be at hand to take their places. The South will need a great deal more labor in the future than she needed in'the past; and unless she can command capable hands and brains to do it, she must go the wall. But if all young men of the present generation abandon their country homes and crowd into the towns and cities, seeking employment as clerks or in the professions, there will be none to attend to the farms and plantations when the men who now direct the agricultural interests shall have ended their days. It is a popular error that life in the towns and cities is much easier and more pleasant than life in the coun? try. The truth is that where one young man who abandons the farm for the store or the office succeeds, two are almost sure to fail; and their failure very often ends in dissipation and ruin. If the young men will be advised, they will stick to their country homes and let the towns and cities alone. Their talents will com? mand more influence, and have a wider field for profitable development on the farm than behind ainy desk or counter. They are sadly needed in the country, and I trust that they will apply their labor and energies where they are most Reeded. Mr. Editor: I throw out these suggestions for what they are worth, and should any young man be influenced by them, my end will have hsen accomplished. Plus. A "Headless Horseman"?How he Rode at Woerth.?At the battle of Woerth it is said that at the third charge of the cuirassiers avhorse w3s to be seen going at full speed with a headless rider. The mutilated corpse was that of M. de la Futzun de Lacarre, colonel of the Third regiment of French cuirassiers, who had been decapitated by a cannon ball. Most people on reading this would declare that it was a mere sensation paragraph, totally devoid of truth. Such an occurrence, however, would not by any means 6eem to be an impossibility. Not long ago we directed our readers' atten? tion to an interesting article published by Dr. Brinton, surgeon to the Philadelphia Hospital, on the instantaneous rigidity which forms thcoc casional accompaniment of sudden and violent death, such as results from wounds of the head or heart. The startling phenomenon some? times seen on the batrie-field, of the retention in death of the last attitude in life, has not es? caped the observation of military surgeons, al? though the facts connected therewith have not been.studied with the attention that they de? serve. Those who are familiar with the de? scriptions that were given of the Crimean bat? tle-fields, particularly that of Inkcrman, will remember that the various attitudes and the expression of the features of the dead were dwelt upon. The report of M. Chenu contains a short account, chiefly based' upon, the com? munications of M. Armand and rerier of the attitudes of the dead in battle during the Cri mein and Italian campaigns. At Magenta a Hungarian hussar, killed at the same time as his horsey remained almost iiL saddle,, resting on his right side, the point of his sabre carried forward, as at the charge. This rigidity gene? rally follows sudden and violent deaths,, but not invariably. Dr. Brinton, among his cases,, gives one of a very striking kind. He says that a man wounded in the left breast at Bel mont, Missouri, found a stray mule, which he succeeded in mounting. While in the act of riding the animal he died ; but his corpse re? tained the upright mounted portion,, and on its becoming necessary to appropriate the mule to the use of a living wounded soldier the body was found to be so firmly and rigidly set as to demand a certain amount of positive force to free the mule from the clasp of the legs. Dr. Brinton isJedyto conclude, from his own-obser? vations and those of others, that this battle? field rigidity is developed at the moment- of death, and that the cadaveric attitudes are those of the last moment and act of lue.?Zon 4on hancet. ? A young gentleman who has just married ! a little undersized beauty, says she would have i been taiier, but she is made of such precious ' materials that Nature could not afford it.. I Yive La Woman! We published a telegram a few days since in which it was stated, referrina to the election in Wyoming Territory, that "Mrs. Howe, wife of the United States Marshal, was the first lady who ever voted for Delegate to Congress. La? dies voted generally throughout the Territory. They cast 171 votes at Cheyenne precinct." Now, here is something practicable and tan? gible. While Elizabeth Cady Stanton is dou? ble-shotting her guns and blazing away, through her paper, at the horrible men in the East; ?while charming Anna Dickinson stands, in a pair of No. 7 slippers, and belches forth her arguments of thunder from the rostrums of Massachusetts; wc find the dear girls away off yonder in Wyoming Territory marching up to the ballot-box in one solid invoice of calico and depositing their ballots with as much noncha? lance as if they had been wearing pantaloons long before they immigrated to that land of milk, crinoline, woman's rights and honey. Is it possible that the success of the female Wyomingos in asserting and maintaining their rights is attributable to the fact that there are no Cady Stantons and no Anna Dickinsons in that favored land ? If so, we advise the suffer? ing "female women" of New England to place their noisy leaders and orators in confinement; discontinue the mutterings of the Revolution, and let their rights come ''dry so," as seems to have been the case in Wyoming Territory, Glorious country, that Wyoming! Mrs. Howe, wife of the United States Marshal, sings a snatch of "Rock-a-bye baby on the tree-top" to the "heir apparent," buckles on her five shooter, rolls up her pants, lights her cigar, cautions Mr. Howe "not to let that child fall out of the cradle," and marches off to the polls to add her influence and power to the cause of woman's freedom and woman's rights. But Howe about Howe? Does he vote at all ? or doe3 he stay at home and mind tho baby while his innocent wife fixes up things at the polls ? Possibly Mrs. Howe says to Mr. Howe: "Be a good boy, now, Johnnie. I shall go right to the polls, deposit my ballot, and work for the cause until nearly sundown; then I will return and let you go and vote. I will allow you fifteen minutes to get to the polls?ample "time?only two miles distant." Of course, Howe didn't say a word?not in Wyoming? and then comes "the "tug of war." We feel sure it would be absolutely safe to bet ten to one that Howe's baby was teething, and that it was subject to frequent attacks of the colic; that during the absence of bis spouse it became necessary to use nine bottles of sooth? ing syrup, four bottles of paragoric, and one of the old lady's slippers. Suppose, too, the battles around the polls waxed warm, and it became important for cara sposa to strike a few "hefty" blows "from the shoulder" in order to maintain the dignity of the sex. And suppose all this occupied her time until the close of the polls. Then what becomes of Howe and his vote ? That's what's agitating the country from centre to circumfer? ence, and what's "stopped the Pru-sian ad? vance."? Wilmington Star. -o Rich Jews.?Our rich Jews of New York have much inherited wealth, and as they al? most invariably live within their incomes, a Jewish family is certain to get rich. This murdered Nathan has been making money steadily ever since he was a youth, and only death put a stop to his affluence. To his name may be added that of the Harts, the Noes, the Simpsons (famed as pawnbrokers,) the Bern heimers, the Levys, the Moses, the Emanuels, the Isaacs, the Solomons, the Davids, and oth? er scriptural names, as noted for wealth. The rich Jews do not dash in the fast way for which "Young America" is noted. The only sporting man of high rank that I know among them is August Belmout. He lives in grand style in Fifth Avenue, aud keeps a fine stud of finely bred horses. He has been for thirty years the head of a banking house which bears the name of Rothschild, and is the American agency of the great European capitalists. Belmont is too fashionable to bend himself to the letter of Hebrew ordinances and customs. He is not one of the stricter sort, aud wandered so far into the Gentile world as to marry the daugh? ter of an American Commodore. The affair made great excitement at the time, and the fashionable world was quite indignant that the niece of "Perry on the Lakes" -should marry Belmont. The bride, however, had a deed of ' a Fifth avenue mausion to start with, aud if the course of domestic life has not subsequent > ly run smooth, the world has not discovered it. I The Jews are masters of the gold market, as any one may know who enters that noisy room where this commodity is daily sold as an arti? cle of merchandize. In addition to these Hebrew magnates of the gold room, there are a few heavy mercantile houses, the chief of which is Hcndricks Bros. These men have dealt in metals, which, if not gold, brought golden profits. They are among the chief holders of copper, tin, &c., and have for years invested their profits iu real estate up town, which has become immensely valuable. They now own houses, block after block, and fronijhumble beginnings have acquired a posi? tion among, the chief landlords of this city. These men make little noise in the world. In? deed, the Jews as a class do not seek notoriety. They have a fame of their own, that is among their own nation. Every family in the Fifth avenue svnagogue is duly canvassed, and their rank is silently taken according to the land, bullian or jewels they are supposed to possess. Wealth holds a sway of vast influence here, for no class acknowledges its power more than the Jews.?Trog, A*. Y., Times. The History of Iron.?The history of Iron is the history of civilization. The rough, shapeless ore that lies hidden in the earth folds in its unlovely hosoni such fate and fortune as the haughtier sheen of silver, gleam of gold, and sparkle of diamonds may illustrate, but are wholly impotent to create. Rising from his undisturbed repose of ages, the giant un weildy, swart and huge of limb, bends slowly his brawny neck to the yoke of man,, and at his bidding, becomes a nimble servitor to do his will. Subtle as thought, rejoicing in pow? er, no touch is too delicate for his perception, no service too mighty for his strengths Tales of faerie, feats of magic, pale before the simple story of his every-day labor, or find in his deeds the facts which thev but faintly shadowed forth. And waiting upon his transformation, a tribe becomes a nation, a race of savages rises up philosophers, artists and gentlemen. Com? merce, science and warfare liavc their progress and their vicissitudes; but underneath them all, unnoted it may be, or treated to a superfi? cial and perhaps supercilious glance, yet main? spring and regulator of all, runs an iron thread, true thread of fate, coiling around the limbs of man, and impeding all progress, till he shall have untwisted the Gordian knot, but bidding him. forward from strength to strength, with each successive release. No romance of court or camp surpasses the romance of the forge.. A. blacksmith at his anvil seems to us a respec? table, hut not an eminently heroic person ; yet, walking backward along the past by the light which he strikes from tho glowing metal be? neath his hand, we shall fancy ourselves to be walking in the true heroic age. Kings and warriors have brandished their swords right royally, and such splendor has flashed from Excalibur and Morglay, that our dazzled eyes have scarcely discerned the brawny smith who stood in the twilight of the background, ami fashioned with skillful hand the blade which radiates such light, but passed through all the land, changing huts into houses, houses into homes, and transforming into a garden by his skill the wilderness which had. oeen secured by the sword. ? "You have lost some of your friends,. I see," said a traveler to a negro whom he had met on the road, dressed in deep mourning. "Yes, massa." "Was it a near or distant rela? tive ?"> "Well, purty distant?about twenty four, miles," was the reply. , Stone Mountain. Is located in DeKalb county, seventeen miles east of Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the greatest natural curiosities in the world, being a solid, solitary mass of gray granite, rising to an altitude of more than one thousand feet above the surrounding plain. It is about seven miles in circumference, and viewed from any point presents a most singular and peculiar ap? pearance. The finest view, however, is from the north side, where the walls are perpendicu? lar. The scenery is sublimely grand. The tall trees at the base have the appearance of garden shrubbery, while the bold walls of the rock ap? pear to stand forth as an evidence of nature's majesty and man's insignificance. Viewed from the northeast, the immense walls of the rock, which have been washed smooth by the rains that have coursed down them forages, look like waves of the ocean, whilst afar to the south imagination can trace the course of streams and rivers. The entire surface presents the ap? pearance of an immense pyramid, the walls be? ing uniformly smooth, with the exception of certain patches supplied with soil and vegeta? tion. Scattered about at various points you find boulders, entirely detached, but resting on the sides of the mountain. Some of these would weigh from fifty to one thousand tons, and are so evenly balanced that the power of a few men could hurl them from the summit to the base of the mountain. Near the summit are the remains of an an? cient fort built by the Indians. It formerly ex? tended around the entire summit and defended every point, the only entrance being through a natural passage under a large rock, where only one could enter at a time. The whole length of this fortification was about one mile. It was about six feet high and constructed of granite. On the north side, at a point where the walls arc perpendicular, is a singular cave, which, though an object of great interest, has only been entered twice. The only practicable way of entering it is to swing down four hundred and fifty feet, the cave being situated nearly half way from base to summit. It is a circular hole, formed with as much accuracy as though it had been cut out by the chisel of an experi? enced workman. It penetrates a distance of a few feet, when it becomes too small for a person to advance farther. Beyond that point it wi? dens out and shows every evidence of being the opening of a great cave. It is known as Eagle's Nest, having long been the abode to a nest of these birds. The only living thing found by the last explorer was a frog, which aid not give any information, concerning its residence. Within a short distance of Stone Mountain, is a fine mineral spring, which, together with other natural inducements and splendid hotel accommodations, render it a favorite summer resort.?The Period. Loss of Mind in Old Age.?Fatuity from old age cannot be cured, but it may be preven? ted by employing the mind constantly in read? ing and conversation in the evening of life. Dr. Johnson ascribes the fatuity of Dean Swift to two causes: first, to a resolution he made in his youth that he would never wear spectacles, from the want of which he was unable to read in the decline of life; and, secondly, to his ava? rice, which led him to abscond from visitors, or deny himself to company, by which means he deprived himself of the only two methods by which new ideas are acquired or old ones reno? vated. His mind, from these causes, languished for the want of exercise, and gradually collaps? ed into idiotism, in which state he spent the close of his life in a hospital founded ny him? self for persons afflicted with the same disorder, of which he finally died. Country people, when they have no relish for books, when they lose their ability to work or to go abroad from age or weakness, are very apt to become fatuitous, especially as they arc too often deserted in their old age by the younger branches of their families, in consequence of which their minds become torpid from the want of society and conversation. Fatuity is more rare in cities than in country places, only be? cause society and conversation can be had in them upon more easy terms ; and it is less com? mon among women than mcu, only because they seldom survive their ability to work, and because their employments are of such a nature as to admit of tliem being carried on by their firesides, and in a sedentary posture. The illustrious Dr. Franklin exhibited a striking instance of the influence of reading, writing and conversation, in prolonginga sound and active state of all the faculties of his mind. In his eighty-fourth year he discovered no one mark in any of them of the weakness of decay usually observed in the minds of persons at that advanced period of life. I cannot dismiss this subject without remark? ing that the moral faculties, when properly regulated and directed, never partake of the decay of the intellectual faculties in old age, even in persons of uncultivated minds. It would seem as if they were thus placed beyond the influence, not only of time, but often of diseases and accidents, from their exercise being . so indispensably necessary to our happiness, more especially in the evening of life. The Kev. Dr. Magaw, it is well known, had lost, with his memory for events, his conscious? ness of place and time, by a paralytic disease; and yet in this situation he retained for several years so high a sense of religious obligation, that he performed his devotions morning and evening, and at his meals, with as much regu? larity and correctness as ever he did, even in the most vigorous state of his mind. "As the Twro is Bent the Tree is In? clined."?We often hear mothers wondering why their daughters are so indolent, or so ig? norant of household matters, or so careless in their habits. They complain, and scold, and fret over it, but they make no attempt to teach them any better. The fault lies with the moth? ers themselves; instead of training their girls to habits of industry and neatness, instead of instructing them to household ways, they have allowed them to grow up without any training at all. Girls arc not going to learn these things of their own accord ; they must be taught from the time they are old enough to learn, how to be neat and industrious. 1 he teaching of them must be systematic, beginning in their early years; it will not do to train them a month, then leavo them three months to do as they please. Education is, after all, the mighty ma? gician that turns everything into gold. Moth? ers, educate your girls to be neat and industri? ous,, and you will never have to complain that they arc not scat and industrious women.? Train them carefully in household ways; teach them to make puddings, and cakes, andpickles, and preserves; show them how tobe tidy about a house, how to do everything in the neatest manner. Teach them by precept and example ; it is worth the trouble ; for, instead of having drones and slatterns about you, you will have well trained and useful helps. A Curious Charge?A man named Henry Richardson, has been put under bond in New York to answer a charge against him that he was a manufacturer ofnearness fowls, and guil? ty of cruelty to a common domestic fowl, gen? erally known as a rooster, by cutting off its bill, or beak, piercing-out and'destroying both eyes, taking a portion of its brain out, pulling the feathers from its head and neck anu then skin? ning the same, after which the skin was so drawn ap as to. make the said rooster appear headless. According to the testimony, Richard? son was in the common practice of performing this operation upon roosters, which were sold for the purpose of public exhibitions, and the unfortunate fowls, after undergoing the opera? tion, lived in great pain and torture for periods rangaing from, one week to two months.. Ho was bound over to answer.. ? A teacher, catechising his scholars, put the following question : "What was made to give light to the world?" "Matches," cried one of the youngsters, after a short pause.. The Rival of Niagara?The Great Cataract of South America?750 feet High. The following article, written for the London Times, gives a detailed account of the great cataract discovered on the Potora River, a tributary of the Essequebo River, in British Guiana, South America: Although I am anxious that Mr. Brown, as a discoverer of the Great Kaieteur Fall, and the director to the successful expedition which we were permitted to accompany, should have the telling of his own story, yet I can understand that his friends will be anxious to hear at once of his success. The fall has a clear descent, according to ba? rometrical observations taken simultaneously by Mr. Brown at the bottom, and by Mr. Mitch? ell, at the top, of 750 feet. Above, the Potaro glides smoothly in a slight depression of the ta? ble of conglomerate sandstone, and disappears over the edge in a body which we estimated at eighty yards in width, and of depth uncer? tain in the centre, but shallowing rapidly toward either bank. When Mr. Brown dis? covered the fall in April, the rocky channel was completely covered, and the stream must have had a width of at least one hundred yards. At present it is diminishing in volume, and, as the Indians assured us, will continue to do so till October, when only the central and deeper portion, about one-third of the whole, will re? main. The best time, therefore, for a visit is in spring, at the end of what appears to be the rainy season of this elevated tract. As we saw the fall I cannot imagine any? thing more beautiful. The central portion, which is never dry, forms a small horseshoe or re-entering angle, and the water in this part preserves its consistency for a short distance from the ledge. But everywhere else, and here also, at a few feet from the top, all semblance of water disappears; it breaks up, or blossoms into fine foam or spray, which descends in the well-known rocket-like forms of the Staubbach and similar waterfalls, but multiplied a thou? sand times, into a small dark pool, over a semi-circular curtain of precipice deeply hol? lowed by the action of the spray. The cavern behind the fall is the home of thousands of swallows, which issue from it in the morning, and may be seen returning in their multitudes at night. The fall itself is one vast descending column of a fine dry looking, snow white sub? stance, bearing a resemblance in color and con? sistency to the snow of an avalanche, but sur? passing all avalanches I have seen in size and in the oeauty of the forms taken by the mate? rial of the fall. Rainbows of great splendor were observed, one from the front of the fall in the morning, one from the summit in the after? noon ; but this last reverted, forming a colored loop or ring, into which the whole mass seem? ed to precipitate itself and disappear, and dart out underneath, black and foaming, at the gorge and outlet of the pool. On carefully working the mean result of five separate observations taken simultaneously at the top and bottom of the fall, Mr. Brown found that they gave the total height of the perpendicular fall and cataract as 871 feet. The depth of the cataract was subsequently taken at the edge of the pool on the western side, by an aneroid barometer (it being impossible to car? ry a large barometer to the foot of the fall,) and found to be 81 feet, making the height of the perpendicular fall 736 feet. The width of the river 200 yards above the fall was 134 yards, and the greatest depth 15 feet 2 inches, 5 feet less than at high water. Less Food.?Less food means temperance, precisely this ; nothing more or less. It does not mean the temperance reform; it means simply the avoidance of excess. It is the ex? cess, or the little too much, that hurts. It isHhc feather that breaks the camel's back. And is it, then, so hard that little can be avoided? Yes, that is it; we must have a little more; there is a little more room in the over-crowded stomach. And what is the consequence ? Sim? ply a little uneasy feeling. Sometimes this is all, but not always. It is, however, always a hurt, that will be felt by-and-by, and more as the individual persists. But even for the pres? ent, with many men, it is a bad thing. A per? son will feel stupid; he will have the blues, because the stomach, through the nervous in? fluence, affects the whole system, making the body dumpish and the mind dull, and the indi? vidual anything but agreeable. Now, this is a common fact; we sec it everywhere, every day, every meal; people "hog it;" that is the word. Why not just cut ofT the little excesses, and thus be cheerful, be healthy ? Some men do this. Reader, try it, and you will thank us. Remember, it is not hard; the habit is soon formed, and then you will be in a new atmos sphere; you will live a new life. Think not you arc the one aimed at; we are all more or less at fault here. Much, much more happy as a race should we be if wc paid more attention to diet.?Country Gentleman. Spexd Wisely.?Look most to your spend? ing. No matter how much comes in, if more goes out, you will always be poor. The art is not making money, but in keeping it; little expenses, like mice in a barn, where they are many, make great waste. Hair by hair, heads get bald. Straw by straw, the thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by drop, the rain comes into the chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if the tap leaks but a drop a minute. When you mean to save begin with your mouth: there are many thieves down the red lane. The ale jug is a great waste. In all other things keep with? in compass. In clothes ehoose suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the main thing. Never stretch your legs further than the blankets will reach, or you will soon be cold A fool may make mon? ey, but it needs a wise man to spend it. Re? member it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one going. If you give all to back and board, there is nothing left for the savings bank. Fare hard and work while you are young,, and you have a chance of rest when you arc old. ? A tight place?a bar-room. ? Dyeing for Love?coloring your mustache to please a woman. ?

"Never be critical upon the ladies," was the maxim of an old Irish peer, remarkable for his homage to the sex; "the only way that a true gentleman ever will attempt to look at the faults of a pretty woman is to shut his eyes." ? "Sam, how many logs have you sawed, eh ?" "Why, ma'am, when I've got this ana three others (lone I'll have sawed four." ? The fellow who was told that the best cure for palpitation of the heart was to stop hugging and kissing the girls,, said:.- "If that is the only remedy which can. be proposed, I say let it pal? pitate." ? A lawyer at Terre Haute lately went to an editor's office to cane him. The doctors have dug three bullets out of his frame, and say there is another one that they can't find, which will probably kill him. ? A girl in California broke her neck while resisting a young man who was trying to kiss her. This kind of foolishness always load to trouble. Just think what her imprudence cost that girl I If she had stood up to the rack and taken her fodder bravely she might have been alive yet, and saved her parents the price of a cemetery lot and an expensive funaral. ?
