MY WIDOW.
Jones advised me not to marry her?-he said
she was. too young and pretty.
' Farn um advised De to be an old bachelor?
told me ?. man past forty simply made a fool of
himself by matrimony.
Tewksberry?a man who is notorious for nev?
er minding his own business?told me she had
uad a love affair with Harry Birmingham, be?
fore he went South.
Alien shook his head, and said Clara Myers
might be very pretty, but he liked - somebody
matarer and more settled. (N. B.?He married
his housekeeper the next week and she is ma?
ture enough for Methuselah himself!)
Everybody thought I was trying a dangerous
experiment; but I didn't pretend to suit every?
body?so I simply suited myself. I went quietly
to church with Clara Myers, and married her j
one glorious January morning, when the old
St. Paul's was fringed with, glittering icicles,
' and the'brisk wind was freighted with the par?
ticles of flying snow, like a battallion of dia?
monds on a double quick.
' Sie was-nineteen and I was nine and thirty.
She was as beautiful as a rose bud, with a
(thy, pretty way, like a timid child, and I am a
rough old codger, sound enough at heart, but,
like a winter apple, unpromising on the exte?
rior. 1
In short, we are as unlike as May and No?
vember, and the good natured world shook its
head, and said; "No good could come of such
an unequal match." But she said she loved
ine, ana I believed her. Nobody could look
into Clara's bine eyes and not believe her, you
see.
And the* next day I made a will and be?
queathed all my property, unconditionally, to.
my wife
"Are you sure you are doing a wise thing,
Mr. Folliott ?" said Mardyn, the lawyer, push?
ing his blue spectacles upon his forehead, until
he looked like a bald old. gnome, with a double
'pair of eyes. "You see she is very much
younger than yourself, and?-"
"Please to be so kind as to mind your own
Business," said I, brusquely. "Don't be offen?
ded, Mardyn, but really people seem to sup?
pose I am not able to attend to my own af
, "Just as you please." said Mardyn, in a rage,
"I am a mere tool in your hands." .
Tbatfsit exactly." So I signed the will and1
went home to Clara.
"Oh, Paul, yon must not die I" said Clara,
with a scared took, when I told her what I had
done. ''"Nobody ever loved me as truly and i
generously as you have done, and I don't know
what I should do if yon were taken away !" I
'There was a young Birmingham, if all re- j
ports were true?" I mischievously began, but
the curl on Clara's lip stopped me.
*-^**A mere butterfly," she said haughtily, I
"without brains or principle. Paul, Paul, 11
have found a shelter in your true loving heart,
and I mean to nestle there always!"
And then she cried?this foolish, soft-hearted
Sttle wife of mine.
Jon? and Tewksberry might have called th is
Klicy. Farn um would have said it was acting,
it it was very pleasant, and I felt more than
ever like a man who has found some precious
iewel, and wears it, like an amulet, on his
breast.
. Bo things went on until the firm of which I
was managing partner, needed to send some one
to Calcutta to see after a tu roan ed scoundrel of
an agent, who had absconded with more money
than we could well afford to lose. Morrison
was old and feeble?Hewitt's wife lay very ill,
so I was the one to go. I kissed-. Clara good
bye.as cheerfully as I could, fully expecting to
Je back in three months or so.
I had to follow the agent up into the moun?
tains of India?I fell ill. of one of those bur?
ning climate fevers in tie bungaslow of an old
native priest, and tha months flew by, until j
it was more than a vcu.r before I found myself \
on the deck of the "Bl uo-eyed Mary," steaming
into New York harbor 1
And, all this time, Clara had never heard a
word from me! -
Shad written to her to prepare herself for
what seemed almost like my rising from the
dead, but I had affcjiwards found my letters
in the pocket of the neglectful native servant
.who had undertaken to deliver the mails to the
Calcutta office.
"But it don't matter so much, now!" 1
thought, she will be the more delighted, poor
little girl I
And then a cold chill seemed to creep
through all my veins, like November's wind
suddenly breathing across a bed of flowers!
. Clara had heard nothing of me for nearly
fifteen months?what might not have happened
in that time ? All thai. Tewksberry, and Jones,
and Allen, and ail- the other prophetic ravens
of my acquaintance had said, recurred to my
mind, like the burder of an uneasy dream! I
had been counting the days, the hours, the very
minutes until we should touch port?but now
that my feet rang once more upon the pave?
ment of my native city, I actually dared not go
feome.
" I turned into a down-town restaurant, where
I had been wont to go, in the days of my bach?
elorhood, and slunk in that dark corner?the
twilight was just falling, and I was sheltered
by the partition.
Hush? I that was Tewksberry's voice, harsh
and jarring, as of old.
"Just what might have been expected," said
Tewksberry. "Pretty and young widows don't
go begging in this market 1"
'ToUiott might have known it," growled old
Farnum. "Poor Folliott! there was some good
points about him, too! Sad thing, that, very
sad thing!
"We must all die," said Tewksberry, grave?
ly.
'Tes, but a fellow would naturally prefer dy
Hrgrin his bed to being carried off by an East
Indian fever and buried in the jungles 1"
I shuddered. Had I then come home to my
own funeral as it were ?
"And she's going to marry young Birming?
ham after all I" added Farnum.
The paper dropped from my hand.
"I could have told Folliott so when I found
out what a confounded idiotic will he had
made," said Tewksberry. "So gold has fallen
again. Just my luck : I seid out to-night!"
I stayed to hear no more, but staggered out
in the darkness with the idea whirling through
my dizzy drain?my Clara was mine no long?
er!
It was unquestionable what Tewksberry had
said, I might have anticipated some such end.
She was too young, too lovely for such a rough
old fellow as I was. My widow?what a curi?
ous sensation the words gave me as I mentally
pronounced them.
Under my own windows, with the rubyred
light shining through wine-colored damask
curtains, I stood there feeling as Rip Van Win?
kle might have felt in the play?like a dead
man walking on the earth once more. Voices
and lights were within, I opened the door softly,
and crept into the tall. I
The drawing room was ajar. Clara herself,
stood before the fire, iu deep black robes, with
a frill of white crape on her auburn gold tres?
ses?the awful sign, und symbol of her widow
nood. Directly opposite, stood Harry Birming?
ham, looking diabolically young and handsome
in the soft light. -
"Clara, Clara I" he cried, "you surely are not
in earnest. You will reconsider I"
"My answer is fimtl 1" she responded. "The
time might once have been when I fancied I
had a childish liking for you, Harry Birming?
ham, but that time has long since passed away.
I gave my heart to the best and noblest man
that ever breathed?Paul Folliott?and in his
r"ave it is forever buried. I loved him once ;
shall love him on into eternity! I never was
half worthy of him, but?"
And Clara's voice was choked with sobs.
"My love, my darling?my own precious
wife!"
How I ever got into the room?how I man?
aged to make Clara comprehend that I was my
own living self, and not a ghost had arisen
from the shadow of the sepulchre, I cannot tell
to this day?neither can she!?but I know that
oung Birmingham somehow disappeared, and
was standing with Clara clasped to my breast,
the happiest man that ever breathed God's
blessed air.
For Jones, Tewksberry, Farnum & Co. were
all wrong?and to use the words of the ortho?
dox fairy stories, slightly paraphrased, I and
my widow "lived happy ever afterwards 1"
Let the Childben Alone.?Let your chil?
dren alone when they gather around the family
table. It is a cruelty to hamper them with
manifold rules and regulations about this, and
that, and the other. As long as their conduct
is harmless as to others, encourage them in their
cheeriness. If they do smack their Hps, and
their cuppings of milk and other drinks can be
heard across the street, it does not hurt the
street; let them alone. What if they do take
their soup with the wrong end of the fork, it is
all the same to the fork; let them alone.
Suppose a child does not sit aa straight as a
ramrod at the table; suppose a cup or tumbler
slips through its little fingers and deluges the
plate of food below, and the goblet is smashed,
and the table-cloth is ruined ; do not look a
thousand scowls and thunders, and scare the
poor thing to the balance of its death, for it
was scared half to death before; it "didn't go to
do it." Did you never let a glass slip through
your fingers since you were grown ? Instead
of sending the child away- from the table in
anger, if not even with a threat, for this or
any other little nothing, be as generous as you
would to an equal or superior guest, to whom
you would say, with a more or less obsequious
smile, "It's of no possible consequence." That
would be the form of expression even to a
stranger guest, and yet to your own child you
remorselessly, and revengefully, and angrily
mete out a* swift punishment, which for the
time almost breaks its little heart, and belittles
you amazingly.
The proper and more efficient and more
Christian method of meeting the mishaps and
delinquencies and improprieties of your chil?
dren at the '.able is either to take no notice of
them at the time, or to go further and divert
attention from them at the very instant, if
possible, or make a kind apology for them;
bat afterwards in an hour or two, or, better
still, next day, draw the child's attention to
the fault, if fault it was, in a friendly and
loving manner; point out the impropriety in
some kind way ; show where it was wrong or
rude, and appeal to the child's self-respect or
manliness. This is the best way to correct all
family er rots. Sometimes it may not succeed ;
sometimes harsh uiei-.sures may be required ;
but try the deprecating or the kindly method
with perfect equanimity of mind, and failure'
will be of rare occurrence.?Dr. Hall.
Finding a Fortune.?The BaltimoreJwicr
ican is responsible for the following:
The following, which reads like an Arabian
Nights story, is vouched for as being strictly
true: In May last Mr. Win. Briugham, segar
dealer, No. 666 West Baltimore street, purch?
ased a dwelling, No. 936 West Baltimore street
and since that time it has been his custom each
fall to dig a pit in the cellar attached to his
residence wherein he stored turnips, potatoes
and cabbages. On Thursday last he went into
the cellar for the purpose 6f digging up some
of the turnips, ana while thus engaged his pick
struck upon a stone, which he removed, and
was surprised to find beneath it a box about
one and a half feet square. Upon attempting
to lift it up he was still further surprised to
find that it was exceedingly weighty. The
thought now flashed across nis mind that be
had discovered a rich treasure, and as a conse?
quence became exceedingly nervous, but man?
aged to retain composure enough to remove the
box from the cavity where it lay concealed and
knock off* the top. Upon the removal of the
top five canvass bags, rather rotten with age,
met bis gaze, and to sum up the matter the bags
were-filled with gold and silver coin and curi?
ously wrought gold chains, in all valued at
about $7,000. The money was of foreign coin?
age, and bore date from 1742 to 1795. It is an
old saying that "Blood cannot be extracted
from a turnip," but in this instance Mr. Bring
ham has accomplished a still more wonderful
feat, as he succeeded in extracting gold from
a turnip. The finder of the above treasure is
a remarkable man as far as money is concerned.
A short time since he received a handsome sum
by the death of a relative, and a few weeks ago
he drew several thousand dollars in a foreign
lottery, and now he adds to his good luck by
finding a gold mine in the cellar of nis house.
? A Massachusetts woman, lately deceased,
before her death, in order to keep her memory
green in the mind of her husband, wrote a
number of letters, which she post-dated, and
confided them on her death-bed to a friend,
with directions to post one to him on the last
day of every montn. In the spring-time of
his mourning the husband was rather glad to
receive the pseudo communications from the
spirit world, but when time had cooled the
heart burnings of his grief and another woman
presided at his table, the postman's arrival with
a posthumous letter at the end of each lunar
revolution became very malapropos, and quite
destroyed, with its dismal memories, the pleas?
ures of his honeymoon. His freshly cliosen
bride, too, became jealous of these mysterious
missives and threatened to tear out the eyes of
the author, but, on being told who the author
wa?*, contented herself with burning the episto?
lary productions of her predecessor as often as
they came.
? We met an old darkey trudging along with
a heavy side of bacon, which he had just
bought, swinging over his shoulder. We ob?
served that lie was miserably clad, and we felt
sorry for him, for a bitter cold wind was blow?
ing. We remonstrated with him: "Why do
you sjieud your money for meal? you'd better
buy a coat." This old gentleman of African
decent stopped, looked us full in the lace Ibra
moment, and said in most solemn tones, "Mas
sa, when I a.v my back for credit, ;! gives il ;
when I speak to uU (laying his hand upon his
'bread basket') it calls for de cash."
? The majority report of the Ku Klux
Committee declares that "the negro must be
protected." Of course, he must be, but, inas?
much as the (roveminent has been more than a
mother to him for tfcc la<t six years, and has
expended tens of millions of dollars in giving
him a fair start in life, we can't see what more
it can do for him, unless il will build lu'm a
castle, give him a thousand armed retainers and
a national bank, and make it a capital offence
for a white man to go within ten miles of him.

Worn-Out Lauds.
In SoUth Carolina, and in ail the Southern
States that we- have seen, there are vast bodies
of what is called worn-out lands. The name
is appropriate. These worn-out lands are lite?
rally ruined. All the top soil is wasted away.
The hills have been washed down into the
branches, creeks and rivers. The destruction
of the hills has been the destruction, in many
cases, of the bottoms. The clay which has
been washed down from the hills has been de?
posited on the bottoms, thus entirely covering
up all the fertile soil of the bottoms and ren?
dering them unfit for cultivation. There is
scarcely a farm in South Carolina in the sec?
tion best adapted to cotton tbat is not disfig?
ured, and its value materially injured by gul?
lies. These are the facts in the case. What
has been the cause, is the practical, question
which demands a solution ? To the farming
part of the community this is an important
question, from the simple fact that this wear
and tear system is still going on as rapidly as
ever, and if something is not soon done, large
sections of the State will be rendered scarcely
inhabitable. i
Various reasons would be given by different
individuals for these enormous and innu?
merable gullies that are to be seen in all the
cotton growing sections of the State. Every
farmer would try to shift the blame from him?
self on nature. Some would give as a reason
for those worn-out fields, tbat the land is so
hilly tbat it cannot be prevented from wash?
ing. Others would assign as a reason the fact
that the soil is composed of clay and very fine
sand, both of which are easily floated and car?
ried off by even a moderate rain. .This is true,
but South Carolina has only her share of hills.
There are hills in western Virginia, hut they
are not ruined by gullies as most of our hills
are. The true cause of the gullies and worn
out lands in South Carolina, is found in the
system of farming, which has been practiced
in this 8tate since the first introduction of cot?
ton. The cultivation of cotton will rum any
land if continued for a number of years. We
are aware that there are many persons who
will deny this statement, but unfortunately for;
them they have to make the denial in the face,
of facts. Everybody knows that it is impossi?
ble to cultivate hills in cotton for a number of
years and prevent the soil from washing away.
Every root and in fact all vegetable matter is
worked out of the soil and there remains noth?
ing to. hold it together. To protect these hills
from washing away, they ought to be sown, in
grass or clover. This will most certainly pre?
serve the soil. We have seen hills in Western
Virginia so steep that a cow or horse could notj
ascend them in a direct line, and yet there were
no'signs of a gully on their faces. These Vir?
ginia hills would wash away if they were cul?
tivated as ours are. Properly cultivated, land
will never wear out. The soil of England is
richer to-day than it ever was. We suppose
that it woula be impossible to find a gully in
either of the three Islands that form the king-1
d <m of Great Britain.
In this country, we work on the principle of
the prodigal. Our motto is, "come easy go
easy." Land is plenty and cheap, therefore
there is no need to save it. This is a desperate
principle. Land ought to increase in value
and in price in proportion to the length of
time it has been under cultivation. This is the
case all over the world except in the Southern
States. What is the reason these form an ex?
ception? Simply because we Southern people
make it a point to ruin a plantation ana then
get up, like a Sytbian, and go some place else.
Some may say a man has a right to work bis
land as he sees proper. Nobody doubts this.
A man mny be said to have a right to make
himself poor and miserable, and then to get rid
of his misery, he has aright to starve himselfto
death. When we say he has a right to do these
things, we only mean that the laws of the coun?
try would not force bim to do otherwise. We
do not believe any man has a moral right to
let his property go to ruin by practicing an er?
roneous system. There are some people who
are continually complaining about this poor
old worn-out State. To such we would say, go
to work and renovate the old State. You may
travel all over the world and not find as lovely
a spot us your own home. There is much
worn-out land in South Carolina, but it can be
reclaimed and made rich. To do this is a small
job com pared with settling in the wilds of the
West.? xorkville Enquirer.
Economy of the Garden.
Of all the small economies which become a
planter?and they are many?a good kitchen is
the chief. Indeed, it is a great economy, and
not a small one. The larger the plantation the
greater need for it, and the gre *er economy in
it. From the garden may com?, .lore than half
the food required for human wi \ts during six
or eightmonths of the year; aud if hah"^he
food of a small laboring force is an item" worth
saving, half the food of a large force is of pro?
portionable importance.
The want of economy in details, is the bane
of the plantation system of the country. If all
the losses of a year in small wastes, and small
neglects were saved up on a large plantation,
they would be found to amount to a fairjtfqiriv
alent for the proprietor's personal labor and at?
tention. It is the misfortune of our -landed
proprietors that they will think they have not
time to give details, and that the w?rk on the
crops of cotton and corn afford no opportunity
for a garden. It cannot however be disputed,
that one acre in a well cultivated garden will
afford more good than ten acres in corn; and
every particle of it is available for man or
beast in its season. There will never be plan?
tation gardens, while planters think a garden
can only be worked when cotton and corn do
not require the labor. The routine of the farm
is an endless, unceasing round, from seed time
to harvest; and if the garden is left till leisure
comes in the farm labor then there will never
be a garden.
Half the continuous labor of one man, with
occasional help only of a horse and plow, will
easily cultivate a rich acre of garden products
that will yield half the food required for thirty
men, the greater part of the year. See the
simple list of the chief vegetables, those that
arc most popular, aud moat acceptable to la?
borers, and at the same time cheapest and easi?
est to produce in unlimited abundance. These
are cabbage, turnips, Irish potatoes, egg plant,
okra and tomatoes. The three first named
alone would constitute a valuable crop, yield?
ing unlimited quantities of wholesome food for
the year round. The six varieties named are
the chief vegetables of all those in general use,
and if onions or schallotts be added, the round
is complete, and no laborer would have a want
in addition. Not one of them requires skill jr
unusual labor in the cultivation, and every oue
yields abundantly. The seed of each is easily
and cheaply had, and probably every ordinary
negro in Georgia possesses the requisite
knowledge for planting and raising them. Any
plantation that afforded an abundant supply of
such food would, or ought to be a popular home
for negroes.
it is usually, or certainly very often the case,
that there is not even a supply of vegetables for
the proprietor's family on the large plantations,
or at most there is a mere apology for a garden
in which may grow a great stand of long stem
collards, a few volunteer tomatoes, with red
pepper and sage along the borders, aud perhaps
a solitary sunflower or two. Such a garden as
would be an ornament and a pleasure, aud af?
fording twenty or thirty varieties of vegetables,
is unknowu, except among city gardeners.?
Those who could have them with least cost are
wholly without them, and the negro laborers
scarcely sec a vegetable the year round.
It would add to their health, contentment and
welfare if laborers were amply supplied with
vegetable food; and the resources of the gar?
den, if made to count in the feeding of them,
would materially advance the welfare of the
planter himself. Our soil and climate are fa?
vorable to more abundant yields, than any oth?
er part of the world, of all that is essential food
of men. We have the least expense and care
in producing, and the results that can be at?
tained are surprising from very small effort in
the right direction.?Banner of the South.

in his favorite attitude?standing with his

went to see it, and everybody exclaimed, "Oh,:

said : "That is right, gentlemen ; as fast as you
are weighed pass out." No one else passed
