The Dignity of Farm Labor.
Mb. 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

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.

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..

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.
