"Ainn this Stewart's Grossing V* We find, the following little narrative going tiie rounds of our exchanges, and as there is so much of "human nature," in its uncultivated stages, we give it as related, as it is more than Erooable an actual fact. Here it is as related y the author: Formerly we coold never tell why so many good things were related of steamboat captains and clerks. We understand in our elder days, and can readily see how contact with all sorts J *of people naturally brought awkward positions to those frequently brought in contact with all manner of characters. Gradually the good things are now falling to conductors ? railway travel having almost brought steamers to the banks. And, of the conductors on the Georgia railroads, it seems that those on the Southwestern Railroad, while they have, possibly, the most general run, suffer more from "outlandish folk," traveling southward to see kinfolk, than any class which I have noticed. Some days since, jnst before the train ran out from the car-shed in Macon, I was dis? turbed while reading the morning paper, by the entrance of an old lady who was slightly, deaf, wondrously fussy, and fearfully made; in fact, very fearfully made for an old lady, ?hignon, flounces, and all those indescribable things which the younger of fashion's devotees so patiently bear, were hung around her in profusion rare. After the train moved out, the conductor appeared at the door, and "tickets" came re? verberating adown the aisle. I took advantage of the occasion to find out for what point Mrs. J-was bound, and saw that the ticket she handed the conductor was from "Macon to Americns," but she requested the conductor to let her know when the train arrived at Stew? art's Crossing?which is about four miles from Americus. This he of course readily agreed to do. I engaged the old lady in conversation, and found that she had been married to Mr. J about two months; that she was his third wife, and he her second husband. Furthermore, I ascertained that he had some relations in one of the lower counties, and that a visit to them was the object of her journey. She seemed anxious to make as good an impression on them as possible, as she told me in the inno? cence of her heart, because they were not as well pleased as they should have been at his third marriage, especially as he had married rather an old lady. We chatted pleasantly until we reached Jackson?about the third station from Macon, I think?when I left the old lady to medita? tions. The nest station was Powersville, and when the train reached that point she called the conductor to her and asked him if that was Stewart's Crossing. He replied that it was not, and told her to give herself no trouble, as he would teil her when they reached Stewart's Crossing. In feet, that as it was not a regular station, he would come to her and let her get ready in time. I conld see, however, that sne was ner? vous, restless and excited. The train stopped at Fort Valley, when she grabbed her reticule, and, calliBg the conduc? tor, wanted to know if that was Stewart's Grossing. His reply was very brief, but to the point: "It is not, madam." Off went the train again, and as the whistle sounded for Marshalville, the old lady again grabbed the precious reticule and called the conductor. "Mr. Conductor,, is this Stewart's Crossing?" "No, madam, I will tell you when we get there," was the amused conductor's reply. Away we sped, and Marshalville vanished, only to bring us, somewhat behind ;ime, how? ever, to Montezuma. The reticule was grabbed again, and again the conductor called. In he came. "Is this Stewart's Crossing, Mister Conduc? tor?" "It is not, if you please, madame; I will certainly let you know when we get there, so you need not ask me," said the irritated con? ductor. Oglethorpe was passed without further an? noyance, but when Anderson ville was sounded, the old lady was at the highest pitch of ex? citement, and as the conductor was assisting a lady with three babies through the car, she grasped his sleeve with one nervous hand and er reticule with the other, and asked, with all the earnestness of her excitable nature? "Mr. Conductor, ain't this Stewart's Cross The usually good-natured conductor was vexed?you could see it all over his smoothly shaven nice. "No, ma'am, this is not Stewart's Crossing. I have told you I would let you know when we got there, so be quiet and give yourself no un? easiness." The old lady was twitching all over with excitement as we steamed away and left An dersonville vanishing behind. The conductor came and took a seat by me, and while dis? cussing the comparative merits of broad and narrow guage railroads, forgot everything else. At length fie looked out of the window, and immediately grabbing the bell line, said: "Bless my life, we've passed Stewart's at least a mile." Stopping the train, however, he had motion reversed, and we ran over a mile back to Stew? art's Crossing, when he went to the old lady: "Stewart's Crossing, ma'am ?" "Are we there?" she asked. "Yes, ma'am ; hurry up and get off as soon as possible ; we are behind time, aud had to rnn back nearly two miles for you." The old lady seemed woudrously calmed, and said with the greatest simplicity: "I don't want to get off here. I want to go to Americus." "Don't want to get off here?" thundered the conductor; "what in the thunder did you want us to stop here for ?" "I didn't want you to stop here," she meek? ly replied. "What did you want to know when we got here for, then?" "Because," smilingly said the old girl, "my old man told me when I got to Stewart's Cross? ing that it would be time to put in my teeth" If you never heard a roar you ought to have been on that train. Amid the fuss the bell cord had some o' the most violent pulls it had experienced in some time. The old lady reached Americus and was met by some kin, who took her off the conductor's hands. He, however, pondered over it well, and I overheard him tell the conductor of the up train, when they met, that he never could treat a toothless woman with that veneration which they deserved again?especially if she had a reticule and wanted to know when he passed a ! way-station. ? A few days ago an old colored woman stepped into the telegraph office with a letter in her hand, saying that Bhe "wanted that let? ter sent by telegraph to Atlanta," whereupon the operator took the document and was about to break the seal, when the old lady jumped at him saying "don't you br?ck de letter open, I want um to go jist as he is." ? Never was a more truthful paragraph than this, which we clip from an exchange; "When a man discontinues his local paper be? cause he feels aggrieved at something in it, he merely transfers his name from the subscrip? tions list to that other list quite as large?thoso who borrow the paper every day; he never stops reading it. h ? Among several other items of general in? telligence, a Missouri paper mentions the fol? lowing : "The State Senator from this district is a liar, a coward, and a horse thief, and he can find us in our ofiice at any time during business hours."

Postage on Newspapers and Periodi? cals.?The postoffice committee of the House of Representatives have agreed to report a bill providing that on all newspapers and periodi? cal publications mailed from a known office of publication or news agency and addressed to regular subscribers or news agents, postage shall be charged at the following rates : News? papers and periodical publications issued week? ly and more frequently than once a week, 1$ cents, and on those issued less frequently than onne a week, 3 cents for each pound or fraction thereof. On the receipt of such newspapers and periodical publications at the office of mailing, they are to be weighed in bulk, and the postage paid thereon by a special adhesive stamp. Newspapers?one copy to each actual subscriber residing within the county where the same are printed, in whole or in part, and published?go free through the mails, but the same shall not be delivered at the letter-carrier offices or distributed by carriers unless the postage is paid thereon as by law provided; and newspapers and magazines reciprocally in? terchanged between publishers, not exceeding sixteen ounces in weight, to be confined to a single copy of each publication, go free through the mails. All mailable matter of the third class may weigh not exceeding four pounds for each package thereof, and postage shall be charged thereon at the rate of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof; but noth? ing, heroin contained shall be held to change or amend section 134 of said act. Affidavits are to be made by publishers or news ageuts to secure their adherence to these provisions, for the violation of which penalties are pre? scribed. Good Night.?How tenderly and sweetly falls the gentle "good night" into loving hearts, as members of a family separate and retire for the night. What myriads of hasty words and thoughtless acts, engendered in the hurry and business of the day, are forever blotted out by its benign influence. Small token indeed; but it is the little courtesies that make up the sum of a happy home. It is only the little courte? sies that can so beautifully round off the square corners in the homes of laboring men and wo? men. The simple "I thank you" for a favor received, will fill with happiness the heart of the giver. True wealth is not counted by dollars and cents, but by the gratitude and affection of the heart. If a home oe happy, it is of heaven the truest earthly symbol. If a home be hap? py, whether the owner possess a patch of ground of one or a thousand acres, they are in the end wealthy beyond mathematical calculations. Then how much more lovingly are the sable folds of night gathered around the happy homes; how much more confidingly do its mem? bers repose their weary bodies in the care of Divine goodness, soothing their overtaxed minds to the realities of a beautiful dreamland; awakened, refreshed and invigorated for the coming day's labor, by having bid their loved ones an affectionate "good night." And if, during this life we have faithfully attended to all these little courtesies, these little soul-needs, if we have guarded carefully all "God's hearts" placed in our keeping, at the close of its brief, yet eventful day, how much easier to bid all our dearly beloved ones a final "good night." The Eucalyptus in Algeria.?It is al? leged that it possesses the power of absorbing the poisonous gases from the air and rendering healthy the districts in which it is planted. Its alleged wonderful sanitary effect in un? healthy districts of Algeria,* where its has been planted, is cited in proof of its value as a dis? infecting tree. Its leaves possess the same effect as quinine in the cure of chill fevers. Mrae. Bodschon, who introduced the new tree into Algeria a few years ago, thus writes to an English gentleman in Rome: "If you could see the fragrant forests of Eucalyptus here, where ; fever-breeding plaius formerly existed, but are such no more, you would be thankful for what you helped me to do. Please send me some more seed, especially of the red gum (Eucalyp? tus Colossa,) which stands any amount of sun, and grows magnificently in the desert. I never did a better work in my life than planting this Eucalyptus in Algeria." If what is alleged of the Eucalyptus be true, why may it not be successfully introduced all around the Gulf coast of the Southern States, and to a distance of seventy-five to one hundred and fifty miles back from the sea? As it becomes acclimatized it will grow hardier. The French expect to revolutionize the climate, productions, and sa? lubrity of Algeria with it, and the Romans are fondly hoping that it may eventually be the means of restoring health in summer within their walls, and rendering habitable once more their fertile Campagna, over which disease and death have long brooded.?Parit Letter to Chicago Tribune. Utility of Frequent Stirring of the Soil. There are many farmers that only plow to kill the grass and weeds. Killing grass is but a small portion of the real benefit derived from frequent ploughing or stirring of the soil. The oftener a crop is ploughed, if done judi? ciously, the better; for it is only when the soil is well broken an pulverized that the dew set? tles freely upon it, and one good night's dew is equal to a good shower of rain. There are some that think the dew falls like a gentle misty rain \ this is not the case. As soon as the sun sets the heat imparted to the earth begins to fall by radiation into space; if clouds be present, the heat is mostly returned again ; surface chilled. The cold of the surface chills the air lying above it and causes a deposit of its water?hence the dew. Those bodies which cool quickest receive the most dew?black soils more than light soils, rough surfaces more than polished. The fresh broken soil cools quicker than the hard ground around it, hence the at? mosphere deposits its moisture in the form of dew upon it. The gardener that works his garden during the burning heat of Summer, when all the plauts look wilted and drooping, has faith that the evening dews will operate on the freshly stirred earth to give life and vigor to the growing plants. And when he goes into the garden in the morning the ground looks as if it had been watered, and all the plants full of life and vigor. So it should be with the farmer. The farm is only a large garden. The same principles of culture which double the crop or cabbages, peas and cucumbers, will double the farmer's crop also." "But I cannot make one or two hundred acres a garden," he will say. Make twenty acres a farm garden then, and get a larger crop than you will from the old fashioned method of slip-shod culture from one hundred. Plow not to break the roots of com or cotton to make it grow, but plow to stir the soil, to give free access to the moisture and gases of the atmosphere to the unbroken roots of the plants you cultivate. The dews which will settle on well-broken, pulverized lands will greatly take the place of showers, and carry a farmer through a drought with safety. Don't IYt Your Eggs all in One Basket. ?Figures do not lie, it is said. Well, perhaps they don't; but they sometimes tell the truth in such a way that it is more deceptive than a downright lie. Figures are made to say that cotton planting is the most profitable branch of agriculture. This is true, no doubt, but, then, these same figures are made to show that cotton planting is a losing business, and all planters, or at the best, most of them are be? coming bankrupt. There is a good deal of truth in this too, we fear ; and while our read? ers are at liberty to reconcile these statements as best they can, we will just say that our ex? perience and observation has convinced us that the most prosperous agriculturists in the Union are to be found among the "small farmers" of our upper and middle country?men who put their own hands to the plough, plant largely the provision crops, especially small grain, grow clover, and the grasses, raise a few sheep, and give some attention to stock generally. Their eggs are not all in one basket, and what? ever may happen in the cotton market, they are sure of something to fall back on, and their stock, are ensured against want. If cotton does well and brings a good price, they sec the col? or of the money, (or a part of it,) which it brings. We have never discouraged cotton planting in the South. We reiterate what we have often said before; but we have felt it a duty io protest against the ruinous "all cotton" system, and we expect to continue to do so. ?Rural Carolinian. ? A very good story is circulating in Wash? ington at the expense of Mr. Morrill, of Maine. It seems that the Senator was out for a walk on Sunday evening. In passing a leading colored church, he was so pleased with the singing thai he went in. He bad been seated but a few minutes when a colored dignitary approached him, and said in substance that the church was for colored people, and they preferred to be left undisturbed by white people during their services. Mr. Morrill immediately retired. A few days before he had been earnestly working for the passage of the civil rights bill. ? A few days ago a hungry party sat down at the well-spread supper of a sound steamer, upon which one of the dishes contained a trout of moderate size. A serious-looking individual drew this dish toward him, saying, apologeti colly, "This is fast day with me." His next neighbor, an Irish gentleman, immedirtely inserted his fork into the fish and transferred it to his own plate, remarking, "Sir, do you suppose nobody has a sowl to be saved but yourself?" ? "I hope, Mrs. Giles," said a lady who was canvassing for a choir at the village church, ! "you will persuade your husband to join us. I am told he has a sonorous voice." "A sono? rous voice,marm ?" said Mrs. Giles. "Ah, you should hear it coinin' out of his nose when he's asleep 1" ? "Lewis," said a father the other day to his delinquent son, "I'm busy now, but as soon as I can get time I mean to give you a flogging." "Don't hurry yourself, pa," replied the son, "I can wait." ? Susie Liberty, of LaCrosse, has thirteen lovers, and every one of them exclaims, "Give me Liberty or give me Death !" And she's a red-headed girl at that. ? "Ah I" mused Smith, as he contemplated his extensive collection of New Year's bills, ''how true it is that in the midst of life we are in debt." ? The reason why a watch is called a watch is evidently because it is always on its guard. 1?s THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY.

"The Blood is the Life," and health can only be enjoyed in its full perfection where the blood is kept in a pure and uncorruptcd state, hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health, beaut}', buoyant spirits, long life and happiness.

In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the blvod, and neutral? ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pulastion. Dr. Pemborton's* Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will POSITIVELY effect this desideratum, expolling every trace of disease from tho blood and system, and leaving the skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL.

THE celebrity of the January Infirmary, established in Murphreesboro, Tenn., in 1848, associated the above name with the treat? ment of Cancer until they became synony? mous, lx>th passed away with the war. But great discoveries, like truths, live forever. Dr. J. O. January, inheriting his 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 uo is receiving, and largo 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 ho possesses perfect control of those diseases, without pain or the knife.
