Llia&a'n aunt coming to visit me for the first time since my marriage, and^ I l?on't know what evil genius pfompted the * wickedness which I perpetrated toward ,my. wife and an? cient relation. ^ ? .?.if dear," said I to my wife on the day before my aunt's arrival, "you" know Aunt Mary is coming -tOrn^rrow^;;well, I forgot to mention a rather annoying circumstance with regar^fo Her. She is very deaf j. and although she can hear my voice, yet you. will be "obliged to speak extremely loud in order to be heard. IUwill be rather inconvenient,-but I know you will do ..everything in your power to make her visit agreeable." Mrs. - announced her determination to make herself heard, if it was in her pow? er. I then went to John N-s-, who loves a joke about as wellas any body I know of, and told him to be in the house at 6 p. m. the following evening, and felt comparatively happy. I went to the railroad depot with a carriage next night, and when I was on my way home with my aunt, I said: "My dear aunt, there is one rather annoying infirmity that Annie (my .wife) has, which I forgot to mention jjefdre. She is very deaf, and although she can hear my voice, to which she is accustomed, in it"rordraary*tones, yet you will be obliged to speak extremely loud in order to be heard. I am sorry for it." . iiorit Mary, in the goodness of her. heart, protested that she rather liked speaking aloud, hid to do so would afford her great pleas? ure. The carriage drove bp?on the steps was my wife-^in the window was John N-, with a lace as utterly solemn as if he had buried his relatives that afternoon. "I am delighted to see you," shrieked my wife, and the policeman on the opposite side was startled, aud my aunt nearly fell down the steps. ? I "Kiss.me, my dear," bawled my aunt; and .the windows shook as if with the fever and ague. I looked at the window ; John had dis? appeared. Human nature could stand it no longer. I poked my head into the carriage and went into strong convulsions. WKen P went into the parlor my wife was helping Aunt Mary to take" off her hat and eape; and there sat John with his face buried in his handkerchief. ""'"Did you have a pleasant journey?" sudden? ly went off my wife like a pistol, and John nearly jumped to his feet. "Bather dusty," was the response, in a war whpop, and the conversation continued. . The neighbors for blocks around must have heard it When I was in the third story of the building I heard every word. In the opigjfefr?ltb"e>evening -nry aunt took occasion to say to me: 'How loud your wife felksf^ iiw - - * I told\heT"deaf persons talked loudly, and ISiat my; 'wife^beTng used to it, was not affected "by the exertion, and that she was getting along very nicely with her. ... Presently .my wife said softly?"Alf, bow -loud youraunt talks 1" "Yea;" said I^'all deaf persons do. You're letting along with her finely, though; she Hears every word you say." And 'I rather think she did. . -Exalted at their success of being understood, they went it hammer and tongs, till everything an the mantel-piece clattered again, and I was' seriously afraid of a crowd collecting in front of the house. Bui the "end was near. My aunt being of an investigating turn of mind, was desirous of ?finding out whether the exertion of talking was injurious to my wife. So?"Doesn't talking "?load strain your lungs?" said she, in an un? earthly whoop, for her voice was not as musical as it was when she was young. '.It is an exertion/' shrieked my wife. 'Then why do you do it?" was the answer? ing scream. "Because?because?s-ou can't hear if I don't." FT*.}*** * * "?hat l" said aunt, rivaiinga railroad whis? tle ajstjS^nU*7 I 7*r :/ ?*-* I began to think it time to evacuate the premises; and looking around andseeing John .gone, X stepped into the back parlor, and there he lay flat on his back, with his feet at right angles with his bddy,-ralling; from side to side with his fist poked into His ribs] and a most agonized .expression of countenance, but not altering a-sound. I immediately and involun? tarily assumed a similar attitude, and I think from, the relative position of our feet and heads .and our attempts to restrain our laughter, apo Slexy mustinevitably have ensued, if a horri le groan which John gave vent to in his endeavor to suppress his risibility had not be "tr?ved our hiding-place. 'Jfn, rushed my wife -and aunt, who by thfs 'time comprehended the joke, and such a scold? ing as I got then I never got before, and I hope .aever.toget again.- .. I inow not what the end would have been if John, in his endeavors to be respectful and sympathetic, had not giveu vent to such a groan and a hoarse laugh that all gravity was Upset, and we screamed in concert. ' Ilcnowit was wrong, and all that, to tell such ar-falsehood, but I think that Mrs. Opie herself would have; laughed if she had seen Aunt Mary's expression when she was informed that her hearing was defective. ! ?

It is claimed for Stuart Mace, a young 1 man of Moulton, Iowa, that he is constructing the smallest steam engine in the world. It* cylinder is to be the size of a grain of wheat. Maj. Calhoun, of t?ue--Columbus (Ga.) Enqui? rer, has been lecturing the" Grangers of Seale, Ala, He told some veW!homely yet whole? some truths- We qiiote ;s fw of his remarks : "If the-Southern soldier worked on**-tenth mseLves aa they did for the Con sun in his-twenty-four ...bpurs d not shine on a land more glo ri ?3sfaU'..._ He goes on/^^ow'tne peorjle. that it is not the lo.w;--price;'?t cotton that naakesJfer^tifftes, but the want of!energy, business maoag^Dabnt aifti forecast. Men are the architects- of their own. misery. He tells the people that King Cotton is a tyrant. "Yes, Cotton, he is the tyrant king that has too long lived on the life-blood of his subjects, who has improvorished them by dazzling dreams^of wealth, and sickened the hearts of the people-by hope long deferred. I will not, i however, throw the whole blame on King Cot tton. He had, and still has, allies nearly as dangerous. One is extravagance, the other false prid&; and still another called inconsis? tency,*, which, while catering to-;the*spirit of patriotism in the.planter's heart, .gives* him, on, the other hand, a perfect contempt for Southern enterprises, Southern manufactories, indeed, for everything Southern but King Cotton him? self, and, then, thiaJKing is fed by a food called fertilizers, which he demands from his sub? jects, and the more they feed, him the thinner the^old King gets,"and the thinner he gets the more infatuated become his subjects, and to feed the King on fertilizers they rob themselves of food." 1'-? (f ..,, He fells the people to make their own bread and meat, and be more anxious to be happy and comfortable, than rich. The means he points'out clearly. Organize as formers; sell more than yon buy ; improve your homestead, and count improvements as" capital laid up; tickle the sub-soil by deep plowing; make farming honorable by being intelligent and in? dependent ; beautify the homestead, as a means of cultivating taste and refining life; and, above all, get out of debt. Major Calhoun is a Northern man, and here is what he says: "My faith in the future of the South I have tried to show by casting my lot with her. I see, in the no distant future, the South freed from the thraldom of New York, and her Elanters freed from the slavery of debt and the onds of ignorant culture. 1 see a Southern port obtaining the money our section now givas to the great metropolis, and foreign ships whitening Southern ports with their sails, as they-come to bear us the produce of their lands or the labor of/heir shops, and take back, in exchange that fabric for which the civilized world opens its purse?cotton. But the day is nearing, if we be but true to ourselves, when, instead of shipping to foreign or Northern ports the raw material, we can send them with frofit to ourselves the manufactured articles, can see the time, though I may have passed away,, and you and your descendants, when this State and the cotton States of the South, will be the recognized home of every kind of manufacture; and when, instead of cotton be? ing King, cotton will be our subject and the whole world our tributaries, for the world needs nothing that, with intelligent labor, we cannot produce. The day of dreamer's, the day of demagogues and politicians, is passed ; and the day of earnest, honest workers has come, and |t is /or you, the farmers, within the hear? ing of uiy voice, to'decide whether you will live to see *it 'or not. Follow out the course you have been pursuing, and your last hours will be troubled by visions of mortgagos and liens. Pursue the pathway of honesty and common sense, and you w'ill live to see the South prosper; her mines worked; her facto? ries smoking with, the incense of industry ; her fields well tilled; her people eating home'-made food and wearing home-made clothes, while their hearts in charity are open to the world." Ignorance aud Crime. There are some things that are indissolubly connected. The tie that binds them together is so strong, that the only possible way by which a dissolution can be effected is by a to? tal destruction of one of the things which it connects. Ignorance and crime may be men? tioned as thus connected. Never did a shadow follow a substance with more certainty than crime follows in the wake of ignorance. Be? fore ignorance, the fair prospects of individual and national wealth fall, as the ripe grain falls before the sevthe of the reaper, or the trees of the forest fall before the axe of the woodman, j In the van of ignorance, there may be fields waving with luxuriant harvests and homos happy in the enjoyment of peace and plenty; in its rear there is nothing but fields overgrown with thorns and thistles, and dilapidated homes inhabited by tenants gaunt with hunger. Ignorance is both a crime and the originator of crimes innumerable. The ignorant are, by an irreversible law of nature, doomed to suf? fering, to ignominy and to shame. These things fall to them as a portion, by the fixed law that punishment follows crime, as the effect follows the cause. The crimes which are originated by ignorance are innumerable in multitude, and*hideous in shape and degree. They embrace all those crimes which militate against the individual and general good of every community. In the black catalogue of crimes, which have their, origin in ignorance, is included every species of iniquity, from the robbing of a hen-roost to cutting a man's throat in the dark watches of | the night, and then plundering and carrying off his valuables. Ignorance is an expensive thing. It is not simply a cancer that kills the patient, but it is worse. It is not simply a mildew and blight which causes bright pros? pects to wilt and die; but it is like Pharaoh's lean cattle?it devours and consumes every? thing good within its reach, and, like the horse-leech, it cries, "give, give." It con? sumes the rich productions of the earth and still its gauntness increases. Like an untamed, and undomesticated wild beast, it breaks over th? enclosures of law and order, and destroys, without mercy, the rarest trophies of art and science. Like a whirlwind, it never ceases to destroy until its powers have been wholly ex? hausted. What arithmetic can enumerate the expense which ignorance annually indicts upon the world ? Behold those massive struc- j tures of brick and stone, whose doors and win? dows are barred with iron rails! These are some of the necessary expenses of ignorance. To protect the innocent, to secure justice and right to the weak, against the iguorant intru? sions of the strong, cost, in dollars and cents, a sum equal to all the other expenses of civili? zation. The court expenses of the United States amount to a sum sufficient, annually, to build a harbor at every port, that would shel? ter every vessel in the world* Every County in South Carolina expends sufficient, annually, in the administration of law and justice?in Eunishing and restraining the fgnorant?to uild and maintain a school in every heighbor hood. The producing cause of all these ex? penses is ignorance? ignorance of law and ig? norance of right and justice. The expense entailed upon the world by ig? norance is not all the evils that flow from it. What countless woes1 are unnecessarily inflict? ed upon the human family by ignorance! It causes the tears of the orphan and widow to run down like rivers. It makes the heart, once happy, to be sad. It robs the world of all its sweets, and sows broadcast and with an un? sparing hand, ovils innumerable. It hastens to the gallows and then to the grave. It pulls down the home that protects from the storms of winter and wards off the burning suns of summer, and exposes us to the inclemency of the weather and the merciless pity of an alien? ated world.? Yorkville Enquirer. A Merchant on Farming. The following is an extract from an address by Elliot C. Cowdin before the Westchoster (N. Y.) Agricultural society. "It has beejg'rny tot, as an active merchant, to mingle with'men in almost every station of society, in many of the nations of Europe; and I am convinced that no class in any country of the world is so thoroughly independent, pos? sess many real comforts, and discontent con? nected with their vocation, as the farmers of America. Always an honorable pursuit, farm? ing is remunerative when properly prosecu? ted; and as a general rule, if is more univer? sally successful than any other calling. You may question this statement until you careful? ly consider it. , "Let rae say to our young men, be not envi? ous of the merchant or the banker of the bust? ling city; but rather bear in mind that of all who chase after wealth along the slippery paths of commerce and finance, scarcely one in a hundred reaches opulence, a few more obtain a competency in soason for old ago, while nine- j tenths miserably fail ere they have fairly star- 1 ted in the race, and, for the most part, die poor. "Neither let our young men be lured from rural life?its duties and its dignitaries, its toils and its rewards?by the glittering bauble of the learned professions. Lawyers, physi? cians and clergymen, at the very best, lead liborious lives. The ^greafc body of theso are 3u.;ro drudges, hard-working men, who pursue the noiseless tenor of their "way, and gain a bare subsistence. If any of them rise above the common mass, it is usually the result of years of intense study and tireless application to their one pursuit; which, unless tney are a marvel of good luck, will surely undermine their-hfealth, and very likely afford-nothing to their heirs except that professional fame which is among the most evanescent of earthly pos? sessions. Labor throughout the, unive*se?,-is the established order of things. "The successful farmer must observe, study and try. IJke all other pursuits, he gains by what he does with eye, Drain and hand. He must nofonly accumulate facts with care, but trace them to their original source, examine their relations to other facts, and then skilfully apply them to the particular case before him. He must never forget that his avocation is" ah art and a science, and like other arts and sciences, is governed by the law of progress. Alas, how many farmers cultivate the soil to? day just as their ancestors tilled it generations ago, and usually for no better reason than that their^grandfathers get the example which they blindly follow." The Best Bank.?We have been repeatedly assured that farming don't pay, and the boys hayjj. believed the assertion and gone to clerking, or teaching, or trading?business' 'they call it. But recently the books.have been opened?the books in which the accounts of all the occupations are kept, aDa< being footed, we see what really pays and what is unprofi? table. Bankers, supposed to be a sort of nobil? ity, have smashea; many of their clerks have proved to be great rascals: railroad obligations have gone to protest; factories have stopped to liquidate, and crowds of the richest and grand&jt of mortals, shuffling mil? lions ?ldollars, often in a day, have Bhrunk down to be quite common. How is it with the farmer? Has the panic touched him? Does he lie-awake, thinking ?T the hard-times? Not much. It is true that if he owes more than he is able to pay, or if he has bought more land than he can work, he is in trouble, and now something must be sacrificed ; but this dilem? ma was bound to appear, panic or no panic. Moat farmers are out of debt, or they owe so little they can see their way clear, and the sun rises and sets as aforetime ; the cows give milk, the butter comes, henB lay eggs, hogs fatten, and the country grist mill runs just as though Jay Cooke-had never smashed and his satellites with him. The truth is farming is an institu? tion founded on such a solid financial basis that it can never break. The farm is not only a bank, it is a mint, making its own money, which is worth just as much for the use of mankind as it was 2,000 years ago, and as it will be worth 2,000 years from to-day; and although this money is not exactly the same as greenbacks and specie, it is better, for it under? lies all others, and goes before them, and makes all other things that are worth much under the stars possible. , And yet we have been hearing all along that this institution of the farm does not pay. Let a man "travel this world all over," like Rosin the Bow; try every thing, be j every thing, he will come at last to see that the suresfcthing is a farm well stocked and tilled, and that there is no warmer place on j earth than "by the farmer's kitchen fire.? Tribune. The Confedebate Forces.?In the No? vember numbers of the Eclectic and the Land We Love, 1869, an interesting and important correspondence was published between Dr. Joseph Jones, Secretary of the Historical So? ciety, and General S. Cooper, ex-Adjutant Gen? eral of the Confederate States. From that source we glean the following facts for the ben fit of those who are not so fortunate as to have preserved a file of the magazines. Such facts are startling even to those who participated in the Southern struggle: - 1. The" available forces of the Confederate army did not during the war exceed 600,000 men. ' . 2. The Confederate States never had in their defence more than 200,000 men in the field at one time. 3. From 1861 to 1865 the Con federate forces actively engaged were only.6?O;?OO. 4. The total number of deaths during that time were 200.000. 5. Losses of prisoners counted as total losses on account of the United States policy of ex? change, 200,000, 6. The loss of the Confederate States army by discharge, disability and desertion amount? ed to 100,000. 7. At the close of the war the force of the Confederate army was less than 100,000. 8. Out of 600,000 men 500,000 were Tost to the service. These facts are takeb from calculations made witlrgreat care by Dr. Joseph Jones, submitted to and approved by General S. Cooper, Adju? tant General of the Confederate army.?Mobile Register Bttstness Law.?The following brief reca? pitulation of business law is worth a careful preservation, as it contains the essence of a large amount of legal verbiage: It is not legally necessary, to say on a note "for value received." A note made on Sunday is void. Contracts made on Sunday cannot be en? forced. A note made by a minor is voidable. A contract made with a lunatic is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of intoxication, cannot be collected. If a note is lost or stolen, it does not release the maker; be must pay it if the consideration for which it'was given can be proven. An endorser of a note is exempt from liabil? ity if not served with a notice of dishonor with? in tweuty-four hours of its nonpayment. Notes bear interest- only when so stated. Principals are responsible for the ads of their agents. ?-? . Each individual in a partnership is responsi? ble for the whole amount of the debts of the firm. ' Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. The law compels no one to do imposibili ties. An agreement without consideration is void. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A receipt for money is not always conclu? sive. The acts of one partner bind all the. rest. Dry Yards.?How many barnyards there are in which there is not a dry spot large enough for the cattle to lie down upon, where the mire and muck are so deep that the cattle sink in over their hoofs! Swine, too, needs a dry place in their yard, and a warm shelter at night. We have sometimes found them frozen to death, they were so unprotected. The "fines and costs" were more than the expense of re? pairing would have been. Poultry, also require warm quarters, and do not always get them. Every time a man shivers this winter, let him ask himself whether his animals are having the same experience. " ? All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? There are 71,264 miles of railroad in the United States. ?

W. C. BROWN. Dec. 19,1873. [Certificateof Col. John Martin, of Anderson Co. I take pleasure in saying that I have made and used Black's Improved Fertilizer on my corn and cotton this year. The corn grew o?T as fast as any I ever had. My cotton was fine. I used Etiwan Guano in the same field, and the cotton manured with Black's Improved Fer? tilizer was fully equal in every respect to that manured with the Etiwan. The cotton manured with the Fertilizer opened sooner than the other. Some of my neighbors examined my crop, and said the Fertilizer beats the G uano" but I am sure it was fully equal. JOHN MARTIN.
