v WO&tAN A5D WINE, aar mart etyls daixas* Pop! went the gay cork flying, Sparkled the bright champagne. Bythe light of a day that was dying, He filled up their goblets again. Let the last, best toast be woman, "Woman," dear woman," said ha, "Empty your glass; my darling, * When yon drink to your sex with me. But she caught his strong fcrown fingers,* t And held them tight, as In fear, * *f And through the gathering twilight Her fond voice fell on his ear. "Nay, ere you drink, I implore you, By all that you hold divine, Pledge a woman in tear-drops, Rather by far than in wine. "By the woes of ffie drunkard's mother; By his children who beg for bread; ," -By the.&te of her whose beloved one Looks on the wine when 'tis red ? By the kisses turned to curses; By tears more bitter than Jbrine; By many a fond heart broken, Pledge no woman in wine. "What has wine brought to woman ? Nothing but tears and pain, It has torn from her arms her lover, ' And proven her prayers in vain; And bar household gods, all shattered, Lie tangled up in the vine? Oy I prithee, pledge no woman In the curse of so many?-wine." 4" T Below we give the sweet hymn, "Nearer Home,'L by Phoebe Gary. This accomplished writer has gone to that "Home," of which she sang so plaintively: , One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, I'm nearer my home to-day | Than I ever have been before. Nearer my Father's house, Where the many mansions be; Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. Nearer the bound of life. Where we lay our "burden down; Nearer leaving the cross, _ . Nearer gaining the crown. But the waves of that silent sea Roll dark before my sight, That brightly the other side Break on the shore of light. O, if my mortal feet Have almost gained the brink \ If it be I am nearer home Even to-day than I think. Father, perfect my trust, Let my spirit feel in death I That her feet are firmly set On the rock of a living faith. A gentleman in China, intrusted with pack? ages for a young man from his friends in the United States, learned that he would probably be found in a certain gambling house. He went in, but not seeing the young man, sat down and waited, in the hope that he might come in. The place was a bedlam of noises, men getting angry over their cards and fre? quently coming to blows. Near him sat two men, one young, the other forty years of age. They were betting and drinking in a terrible way, the older one giving utterances continu? ally to the foulest profanity. Two games had been finished, the young man losing each time. The third game, with fresh bottles of brandy, had just begun, and the young man sat lazily back in Ms chair, while the other shuffled his cards. The man was a long time dealing the cards, and the young man, looking carelessly about the room, began to hum a tune. He went on, till at length he began to sing the hymn of Phoebe Cary, above quoted. The words, says the writer of this story, repeated in such a vile place, at first made me shudder. A Sabbath School hymn in a gambling den! But while the young man sang, the elder stopped dealing tue cards, stared at the singer a moment, and throwing the cards on the floor, exclaimed: "Harry, where did you learn that tune?" "What tune?" "Why, that tune Son've been singing." The young man said he id not know what he had been singing, when the elder repeated the words with tears in his ?yes, and the young man said he?had learned { them in a Sunday School in America. "Gome," said the elder, getting up; "come, Harry, here's what I have won from you: go and use it for some good purpose. As for me, as God i sees me, I have played my last game and drank my last bottle. I have misled you, Harry, and I am sorry. Give me your hand, my boy, and say that, for old America's sake, if for no oth? er, you will quit this infernal? business." The gentleman who told the story (originally pub? lished in the Boston News) saw these two men leaving the gambling house together, and walk sway arm in arm; and he remarks, "It must be a source of great joy to Miss Cary to know that her lines, which have comforted so many Christian hearts, have been the means of awa? kening in the breast of two tempted and erring men on the other side of the globe, a resolution to lead a better life." It was a source of great joy to Miss Cary, as we happen to know. Be? fore us-lies a private letter from her to an aged friend in this city, with the printed story en? closed, and containing this comment: "I en? dlose the hymn and the story for yon, not be eause I am vain of the notice, but because I thought you would feel a peculiar interest in them when yon know the hymn was written eighteen years ago (1842) in. your house. I composed it in the back third story bed-room, one Sunday morning, after coming from church; and it makes me very happy to think that any word I could say has done a little good in the world." Sumac?Sumac is largely used in tanning the finer kinds of leather, especially in the man? ufacture of the hard grained moroccos and similar goods. It is also employed as the base of many colors in calico and de lair.e printing. Probably the consumption of this article thougbout the country for all purposes aggre? gates more than 20,000 tons, of which about two-thirds fire imported from Sicily, not be? cause just as good sumac can not be grown in this country, but because, until a few years ago, our people, did not know its value, or in what way to prepare it for the market. The sumacs of Virginia, Maryland, and Tennessee in particular are said to be the best in the world, and even their worst varieties have been officially pronounced by experts to be better than any imported from Sicily. Almost every farmer has a clump of these bushes. Tbey are called by some "shoemake," by others "red shoeraake." Probably many farmers may have tried to kill them by cutting down. If they have, they know how difficult a task it is. It grows like asparagus, all the better for being cut; and when once started upon a lot and cut close once a year, it is as easy to cut as corn fodder. . The only trouble is in curing it properly. This must be done with all the care that is bestowed upon tobacco or hops. Exposure, after cutting, to a heavy dew injures it, and a rain storm detracts materially from its value. It is cat when in full leaf; and when properly dried is ground, leaves and sticks together. An acre in full bearing will produce not less than three tons; and when fit for market, it is worth from eighty to one hundred dollars a ton. The "manufacturers," as the curers are called, pay one cent a pound for it in a green state. ? i A Sumac mill costs about $3,000. The Com? missioner of Agriculture gave an outline of a mill in his report for 1869. If thirty farm? ers would unite in an effort to establish a sumac mill, each planting out a few acres, says the Ohio Farmer, we hare no doubt the enterprise would prove far more remunerative than either corn or wheat, and be the means of inaugurating a hew enterprise in their State. There is no danger of an overstock. The de? mand is daily increasing, for hemlock is grow? ing scarce, and every day new tanneries and dye houses are going into operation.?iSfezffre tifie Amerian. ?

Oh, it grieves us to see the number of youug men who leave the old homestead to seek the humbler position of city clerks! abandoning the old roof which has sheltered the father and grandfather, and perhaps a generation farther back'; forgetting the tree whose broad f?ilage shaded the play-ground where with brothers and sisters (some of whom have been gathered to an early grave,] the days of childhood were so happily passed.

Ask him how often the heart aches in contemplation of stocks unsold and bills maturing which he can scarcely meet. No, there is too much of care in the life of a -merchant; and do you never forget what you should always consider before leaving the country for the city; take 100 boys entering manhood, make merchants of 97 and farmers of 3, and in twenty years what is the result ? There will be more wealth aggregated in the hands of the three farmers than will be found with either fifty, sixty or even seventy of the others. Do not consider this extra va gant, for carefully prepared statistics give us this astounding result, that ninety-seven per cent of all who enter mercantile life fail in business. So stick to the old farm, boys?become bene? factors?make the two blades to grow where only one grew before. See father is bending with age.and mother's locks are silvering; don't leave them, boys?they want to see your smiiing, happy faces around the hearth and at the table?they need your strong arms and stout hearts about the farm. Don't follow the example of the freedman and leave the old folks as soon as you are free.

And when you go to the city, see how the factor will hang around you for a commission on produce, and the dry-goods man will welcome you to get some of the hard cash which it has brought. Stick to the old farm, boys, and be useful, independent men.? North-East Georgian. Fence Law* Surely the General Assembly will not ad? journ without doing something upon this im? portant subject. Fencing, splitting, hauling, resetting, putting up fence is one of the great? est drawbacks to successful agriculture in our section of the State. The old system of clear ing and "skimming" land has left us with an immense amount of old-field, now grown up in sedge and pine. This land is more readily brought to a high state of cultivation than woodland can be cleared. Then you have not the disagreeable roots and stumps to encounter, which are so much in the way for several years in new ground. With the use of six dollars of fertilizer, there is many an acre of this old field which readily returns its two to four hun? dred pounds of lint. There is a fair profit for the labor; but if new fencing is to be put around every acre of old field that is restored to cultivation, it is an immense reduction of the profits, and this reduction falls upon both landlord and ten tan t, and is a real incubus on the prosperity of the country. Now, why this drawback? Why this con? stant labor of building and repairing fences ? It is unnecessary, and any law which compels it is unwise. Men of information and judg? ment, say that the annual expense of fencing is worth more than all the cattle and hogs in i the country. There can be no doubt if the system of fencing was abolished, and people fenced in their stock, they would at once im Erove their stock. They would keep fewer ead, feed them better, take more care of them, and get better breeds. , Already, all over the upper portion of the \ State, at least, rail timber is getting scarce, and we are cutting down and wasting our forests for no profit. In addition to this is the im? mense amount of labor and expense without return. We admit that there is a difference between the upper and lower counties in this respect. In the swamps near the coast, there is a good deal of cane and swamp grass, but the range pasturage up here amounts to very little, and a little clover, which can be readily grown, is worth much more. In Virginia they have a fence law, which is left to the counties?each county could adopt or reject for itself. It seems to have worked well there, and might very well meet our diffi? culty of adopting a law which will suit both up and low country.?Greenville Republican. ? The French cooks of New York gave their annual ball on Wednesday evening, and as usual the entertainment proved an eminent success. The attendance was very large, the majority of the spectators and dancers being French, and the ladies all tastefully and many of them elegantly dressed. The supper was of a style which is only seen once a year, and that is at this ball. The best cooks of the large hotels and clubs annually vie with one another in the construction of the most marvellous specimens of mounted pieces for their table, and the sight to an epicure was simply magnificent. There were three tables, running the whole length of the room, and at every three feet there was one of those wondrous pieces mor.tces, which made somebody say that it took more genius to be a successful cook than a triumphant general. One, at the end of the principal table, repre? sented a full grown bear, with skin on and climbing a tree. Around were roosters in all their fuss and feathers. Upon removing the skin one saw the bear roasted whole in the most approved style, larded and ornamented with truffles. Removing the feathers of the roosters one found them fully cooked and that most sacculently. Another dish was a represen? tation of the famous yacht Henrietta, done in sugar, every sail perfect, from the flying jib to the maintopsail, all marked out most beauti? fully, even to the men. Much of the culinary skill had been lavished upon the fish, which had been prepared in all manner of ways never dreamed of before. Altogether the ball was a great benefit to all concerned. ? The most artful dodger is a married man who lives in this city. He points with pride to the shattered wall opposite his seat at the breakfast-table, where the tea-cops, salt-cellar and slop bowls that she heaved at him struck. ? Mrs. Green, a Kansas widow, wants to marry again, and as a recommendation she says she used one broom for fourteen years. Sitting Up with Her. She was expecting him Saturday night; the parlor curtains were down, the old folks noti? fied that it was healthy to go to bed at eight o'clock, and Johnny, bribed with a cent, per? mitted himself to be tucked away at sundown. He sneaked up the path, one eye on the dog, and the other watching for the "old man," who didn't like him any too well, gave a faint knock at the door, and it was opened and he was es? corted into the parlor. He said he couldn't stay but a minute, though he didn't mean to go for hours. She wanted to know how his moth? er was; if his father had returned from York State; and if his brother Bill's rheumatism was any better; and he went over and sat down on the sofa, so as not to strain his voice. Then conversation flagged, and he played with his hat, and she nibbled at the sofa tidy. He finally said it was a beautiful evening, and she replied that her grandfather predicted a snow storm. He said he guessed it wouldn't snow, as the moon wasn't crooked enough to hang a powder horn on the end, and she said she didn't believe it would either. This mutual understanding seemed to give each other cour? age, and he wanted to know if she had seen Bill Jones lately. She hadn't, she said, and didn't want to. Then they went to talking about the donation visit which was to be given Elder Berry, and he carelessly dropped his hand on hers?his right hand, while his left arm sneaked along the sofa and got behind her shoulders. She pretended not to notice it, and he looked down at his boots and wanted to know if she thought mutton tallow rotted out boots faster than lard and lampblack. She couldn't say, but she had an idea that it did. He had just commenced to lock fingers with her, when she discovered that something ailed the lamp. She rose up and turned the lamp down a half, making the room look dim. It took him five minutes'to get hold of her finger again, and she pretended to want to draw her hand away all the time. After a long pause he lowered his voice to a whisper, and said he didn't see what made folks love each other. She bit her handkerchief and admitted her ignorance. He said that he could name a dozen young men who were going to get married right away, and his left arm fell down and gave her a hug.? Then he went over and looked out of the win? dow to make sure that it was or was not going to snow, and, coming back, he turned the light down a little more, and then sat down and wanted to know if she didn't want to rest her? self by leaning her head on Ms shoulder. Ah, me! We have all been there, and who of us cared a cent when the old clock struck twelve, and we five miles from home? The old man was fast asleep, the watch-dog gone a-vis? iting, and the handsomest girl in the country didn't see why we need be in a hurry. The Evils of Using Tobacco. The following article, taken from the Coun? try Gentleman, so thrillingly sets forth the fear? ful results of using tobacco that the most hardened sinner must repent and hasten to be wise after reading it: First experiment, a hog was shut up in a tight pen, and his only food was one-half pound of tobacco a day. In one week he had lost four pounds. Second, a mule was placed in a stall without food. Two plugs of tobacco were placed before her twice a day. She grew gradually restive. On the third day one plug was forced down her throat, when she tore the experimenter's ear with her teeth, showing jthe bad effect tobacco has on one's disposition. It was then found necessary to muzzle her so that ! she could not open her mouth. At the end of eight days she died. Third, a dog was nailed up in a tobacco hogshead. At the end of four days he was taken out much reduced, i Fourth, another dog was enclosed in a tobacco barrel and rolled down a steep hill. Within two years that dog went mad I Truly these are Satan's nets I I could cite plenty more of such experiments. We all know that a single drop of the oil of tobacco placed on the end of a dog's tail will kill a man in a minute. Of four men lately killed on the Erie Railway three were smokers, and the father of the other an inveterate chewer of tobacco. On the bodies of the two men washed ashore after the late storm on Lake Michigan, papers of tobacco were found. In my own neighborhood, a very distressing accident, by which a most estima? ble lady, the mother of seven lovely children, broke her leg, was occasioned by a pair of run? away horses running into a fence that sur? rounded a field of tobacco. Miss Chloe Flat foot .recently died in the county adjoining mine at the age of 118 years. She had both chewed and smoked over 100 years, and as she had no disease till the time of her death, it is only fair to suppose that it was tobacco that killed her. For so long a time was Satan spreading his nets for her; but I think Mr. K. will agree with me that he must have her sure now. But why multiply examples ? You know how it is yourself. So, Mr. Editor, do not go on helping spread these nets, by showing in your paper how to grow large crops of tobacco, any more. Bather interline the book of Prov? erbs with the remarks of our second Solomon. Only let roe add a word of caution to that gen? tleman. Hoes he, let me ask, use tea or coffee ? These are other nets of Satan as much as to? bacco. Hoes he he eat mince pies and use sal eratus? More nets. Does he indulge in ice? creams or oysters ? Let him beware, lest, when he least expects, Satan, in scooping in bis to? bacco-users, fly away with him 1 Graham bread without salt is his only salvation. Maey, the Mothee of Washington.? A Virginia member of Congress had introduced a resolution looking to the finishing of a monu? ment over the remains of Mary, the mother of Washington, which repose in the burial ground near Fredericksburg, Virginia. It seems that the corner stone of such a monument was laid many years ago with great ceremony?Gen. Jackson and other distinguished men being present; but that since that time nothing has been done towards building the shaft. It would, perhaps, be better, suggests the Phila? delphia Ledger, to wait until we complete the monument to the memory of Gen. Washington before erecting one to his mother. As theoret? ical monument builders the American people doubtless excel all others. The alacrity with which we vote monuments to the memory of the illustrious dead is worthy of all praise, and our failure to erect them of anything but com? mendation. The way we build, or rather do not build, monuments, reminds one of Micaw ber's manner of paying his debts. He canceled his pecuniary obligations, it will be remem? bered, by giving fresh I. O. U.'s when pressed by his creditors, and after doing this felt, as he expressed it, that he had "discharged a duty which he owed to society." Neatness.?A girl's everyday toilet is part of her character. The maiden who is slovenly in the morning is not to be trusted, however fine she may look in the evening. No matter how humble your room may be, there are eight things it should contain: a mirror, washstand, water, soap, towel hair, nail and tooth brushes. These are just as essential as your breakfast, before which you should make good use of them. Parents who fail to provide their child? ren with such appliances, not only make a great mistake, but commit a sin of omission. Look tidy in the morning, and after the dinner work is over improve your toilet. Make it a rule of your daily life to "dress up" for the afternoon. Your dress may, or need not be, anything better than calico; but with a ribbon, or flower, or some bit of ornament, you can have an air. of Belf-respect and satisfaction, that invariably comes with being well-dressed. A girl with fine sensibilities cannot help feeling embarrassed and awkward in a ragged, dirty dress, with her hair unkempt, if a stranger or neighbor should come in. Moreover, your self-respect should demand decent appareling for your body. You should make it a point to look as well as you can, even if you know nobody will see you but yourself. , Has He a Call to be a Husband ??Has he a call to be a husband who thinks mote of his horse than his wife ? * Has he a call to be a husband who spends six evenings out of the week away from home, and complains because his wife will go Thurs? day evening to prayer meeting?

Has he a call to be a husband who loses money by betting on elections and horse races, and when he becomes involved attributes it to his wife's extravagance ? GtTANO.--It has been asserted by Prof. Ed? wards that Guano?which for years has been so extensively imported for certain qualities of land?is not the excreta of birds. The recent researches of Dr. Habel tend to support this view; for, when the portions of guano which are insoluble are brought under microscopio examination, they are found to consist of skel? eton remains of animals of marine origin, and frequently of animals to be found alive in the neighboring seas. It is stated that ships riding at anchor around the guano-producing islands, frequently pull up the guano with their an? chors. This is strong evidence against the old fashioned excreta theory. The new conjectu? ral proposition endeavors to account for the existence of the masses of guano in the Chin cha islands by the action of heat, or chemical action, or both together, working the necessary changes for the conversion of the animal re? mains into the well-known fertilizing sub? stance of commerce. ?

January, inheriting Iiis father's talents, and improving on his experience, has achieved a success in advance of their former history, owing to his increased patronage he has perma? nently located in St. Louis; the numerous let? ters he is receiving, and large arrival of pa? tients, justify his move to this central point. We would advise all afflicted with Cancer, Scrofula, Fistula, Piles, <fcc., to apply to him, as he possesses perfect control of those diseases, without paiu or the knife.
