From ihr New i'm k Evcniiiy Volt, Ours is supposed to bc au agc of en lightenment, and we arc accustomed to look with something like contemptuous pity upon thesiiper.stitionsof.our forefath ers, conlident thai we never should have reasoned wi illogically as they did ; but lhere i? reason to believe that supersti tions of i he absurdest sort are as common now ns they ever vere, the diUc.vuee between u- and oui grandfathers lying chiefly in our Smaller readiness to pro claim our belief i i charms, and our tail h in portents. Hard-headed men of busi ness, who never grow visionary in thc matter of an investment, sometimes carry buckeye* in their trousers pockets as a cure for rheumatism, or lucky-hones to keej) off ill-fortune ami bankruptcy. Every quack in the land docs a thriving business, trading upon the insane cred ulity of sarto men and women, and if some charlatan should advertise paeloliau wuter at u dollar a pint, ho would draw umney remittances even from Wallstreet, ii: all probability. The only wonder is thal no shrewd swindler has made thu experiment. air. Anthony Comstock has recently made some arrests among thc qu;" ks who advertise love powders for salo at uncommonly high prices, and his discov eries arc painfully interesting. Thc transparent absurdity of the pretense up on which these malo and female swin dlers trade is mit sufficient, it apocara, to protect even young; women wno have hcen brought tip in intelligent families and educated in good schools from falling victima to thom. They reud advertise ments in which some man or woman offers for sale certain drugs, which, it is alleged, if administered surroptiously, will make tho person to whom they nro given love tho person who gives them. 'X*?*c jToUi?***" *?vc!*?crs know oTcoiirdw *??\? this mustio n lie, in the very nature of the case. They know, or they ought to know, that thc affections are not material and aro not to bo neted upon by material agents. Thoy know that theso adver tising quacks cannot be better skilled in tho compounding of drugs or more learned in their properties than men of scientific attainments ure; and they know that quacks aro necessarily petrous of bad character, swindlers, cheats ; and yet they beliovo their transparent and self evident falsehoods, and send money to thom, nnd get powder, which, in utter ignorance of tho chemical nature of the drug thoy give, they surreptitiously ad minister to some young man, refusing to reflect that if i. drug given openly will not produco a esr tain effect, ?ts secret administration cannot in the least change either its nature or its influence. Two, nt least, cf tho letters which Mr. Comstock secured wero from young wo men of this city and Brooklyn who ought to have known better, mid there is hero a lesson for parents. It is not difficult to guess what sort of literature those young women have been accustomed to read. Tho symptoms of arsenical poison are not moro certain than ure those which manifest themselves in such cases as these, of poisoning done to tho intellect by unwholesome literature of the senti mental kind. The o young women have been allowed to grow morbid over senti mental romances, and their condition is as truly one of menial diseuse us is that of the veriest lunatic at Blooniiugdale. Tho recklessness with which parents permit their children thus to poison and ucbauch their minds is a crying evil of our time, and its ill resulta are not by any means confined to such slips as tboso which the young women have made in this case. Sentimental suicide is not uncommon, and worse things even than suicide befall young women sometime:,, as the direct result of morbid sentimen tality that comes of long indulgence in feverish literature. Even when no startling revelation of ill is made, great harm may bo done, and many a woman's life has beeu made wretched by tho early stimulation of her imagination, and her early schooling in romantic notions of what lifo and love a'nd marriage are. Ou no other subject whatever is it moro important that young persons of both sexes should have sound, sensible, wholesome views ; on ao other are unsound, senseless and unwholesome notions more generally prevalent, and upon no other ia tbero so much sickly nonsense written and printed. Every wife learns, if she does not know it before marriage, that good, sweet bread is more potent than any love powder to retain the affection of a man, and that a tidy house, a neat person and a cheerful face are more winning j lu a woman renn any magical charm cnn be. Tho pity is that these truths are not always impressed upon the minds of maidens, and that . v. I j DDuviiiiuilii.iilj 13 }>v< lilliiw. iv fasten itself tbero instead. A BAD BULB THAT WON'T Wonts BoTn WAY***--Tom Hamilton, of Beau fort, an independent colored rico planter, ono of tho most liberal L* the centennial legislators and a recent delegate from Beaufort to tho Republican Convention, in a conversation a day or two ago said, in refcrenco to tho proposed plan of dis charging employees who vote against the interests of their employ? ?..a, that ho con sidered such a course fair and square. He said ho know it was done at the North in largo factories and with the tenantry of .England, and, moro to tho point, he expected every man employed by him on his rice field? to vote with him, and if thoy did not, ho would get men who would. Hamilton is a regular Republi can, was tba tr.?T. who nominated Cham berlain in the convention, and a man of ?oiisitiesablc influence; in Beaufort Oounty. -iH? ?? ' " -."What's th? .difference,'' asked a Centennial vU?tor, pointing to Memorial Hall, "what is the differenco between that building and a /ein in a young lady's arin?" "Why ono'a an art gallery ami the other's n gal artery." They car ried him off ia an ambulance, Tho Abuse of Titles. Tho Augusta Chronicle and .Sentinel \ makes tbe following observations upon the Indiscriminate custom of affixing ?iii - ?- _., .-., . mn.- v-r j/./i.iM. MIUll . Nearly every person ono meets in the street now-n-days is a Colonel, and the rest are Judges and Generals. In the South we are greatly given to clapping titled to persons' names, ?vi John 1 huj uix'a Western joke of tho ERO who, when leaving '? crowd of strangers on a steam boat wharf, by calling out "good-bye, Colouel," received a volley of "take ear? of yourself, ole fei," is peculiarly appro tjrialu to tili.-, section. The practice has ?eeo carried to such an extent here since the war that aenuiblc men, really having a right t? A title, have grown disgusted and begged to let it be dropped, nota bly, General Breckenridge, when trying a cause at Lexington, after his return from Europe, requested a brother lawyer, who spoke of him as "General." to call him simply ".dr. Breckenridge." If titles were confined to those who hud some right to them, or if thc right titles ?vere given, it would be bad enough, for i in this country tte many men have held office of some description that the streets of every city are filled with military he roes and civic dignila*??. ,?Ju> bad as that ia it is infinitely* Worse when no re flect that fully half thc mon who respond to the call cd' "Colonel" were never in the army ami that nine-tenths of Mic "Judges" wero ueverou the bench. Men are even promoted regularly as if regular soldlcs. We protest thut we have known men starting among un plain Mister who rose by regular giaduation to be Cap tains, Majors and Colonels ! livery man who ls at all prominent at the bar is a Judge, every man who runs for any office no matter how insignificant is Honora ble, and every mau in any tvulk of life at all well known is Colonel. A man who once has a title always has a lille. It clings to him like a burr lo a sheep's wool, and there is no gelling rid of it, no maller how annoying or inappropriate it may be. Gu thc other hand occasionally a tuan misses II'title justly his due, am] enough standing lo make seed. Barley shou'd be sown thick, say three in (ive bushels on good hind, 1 --.s on poor land There is no end, in fact, lo inc benefit derive 1 from a ??omi, vigorous pa.eh of barley during the whole winter. For milch cows nothing is be.'.er th in an hour or two daily on the barley patch. It will give rich milk, and plenty of it. Tito calves will ku?p fat on it also, and mey have their iiiru ?d'an hom* or iwu, aller the cows are mit. lt is needlesi to say how SIS-?C;? will thrive on it, and how convenient ti help it is for ewe.? niter lae' lambs begin io rome.

But do not pas.ii'c il in wet, reiny days, because the soil and Hie ...op will he greatly damaged by ibu I ramp ing.-Exchange. Manners lu Church. Good malmen hi church require rever ence in behavior, and hence wc must ox ..i...jc ;.?:!:. ?;..... conversation both iicforc and during and immediately after the services. Chatting, whispering, moiion ing-all such conduct is out of piece where people have come together to en gage in the most solemn act of which they are capable. What a spectacle for angels, who ever convene with God's people in their worship, to ba witnesses of tne nnimalcd tattle of two worshippers, who should be subdued into awe at the thought of being in the presence ol* God 1 I have sometimes taken my seat in con gregations just ?us thc services were on tho eve of beginning, and there was in tho church audible throughout, u con fused buzz, H hieb made me feel that I' hud not come to worship God, but merely to be entertained for au hour. As for talking during divine worship, to charac terize lt as ill-mannered is r ot enough it is wicked. At the conclusi?n of wor ship I would not have friends debarred a recognition of each other in a quiet way -especially U it admissible thus to notice a stranger who may chance to bc near: but an immediate entering into general hand shakings and hilarious conversation must go far toward stifling tho devout impressions which may have been in spired during worship. It is also in bad taste to make tho church the place for the show of line clothes. There may be occasions when it is suitable lo nut on the costliest and richest dress winch thc means nnd the conscience will allow; but to make the house of prayer a scene for the exhibition sf tho lotest fashions, and thus to appear before God, is out of all character. The plainest raiment which is in keeping with the usual habit of a person is most conaiatent with tho gravity of religious worship. Thoroughly relined people are ilwaya averse to making a display of themselves. True worth craves neutral liuts. Least of al) do well-cultured per 10ns wish to^drnw tho gaze of a congrega ron to them-elves, when they and others ? ire mot for the seiinus matter of religious nstruction and devotion. They desire, Uso, that as far aa possible all distinc tions of rich and poor, great mid little, mull disappear in '.he sanctuary; tba". :hus, by an appearance of equality, the lowly may be encouraged to attend pub lic worship. If there is ono place where i true heart wanta to bo free from the iflectatioii, or even the acm bianco of as lumed superiority, it is in the presence of :he great God. "The rich and the poor neet together ; thc Lord Ts thc maker of hem all." Bi. ?LEY.-It is time now to consider md pr?vido for a patch of barley for IVinter grazing. There should bo an icrc or two of tho richest lots about every ionic dead sown for this purpose. Break ip thc land thoroughly and mnke it as rich as possiuiu. Put on all tho stable nanuro to be had and then add 200 to 100 pounds of good commercial manure. 3ow after tho middle of September, and login to pasture OD it in December. It nay bo used freely till M .-.rc li 1st; then, f tho stock ure withdrawn, it will make "rom 40 to GO bushels of seed per nero, or nay be cut for green feed just before and liter it heads out. Ono acre will furnish iberal daily food for soiling eight or ten lead of cows or mules, and still leave ?vc know of one or two men who received nost flattering promotion in the army ret who Lave escaped any military prefix in civil life. But these are shilling ex ceptions to the general rule. So preva lent has become tho habit of bestowing titles that it is no unusual thing for two ?entleiueu when introduced lo accost each other a-? Colonel. If the stranger shows age and is known to be a lawyer he is probably saluted as Judge. Astuto politicians take advantage of the prevail ing mania sud have no acqaintauces tie low thc grade of Judge or Colonel. The custom bas become an intolerable nuis ance and exposes tho Southern people to the ridicule of educated and refined strangers who travel in this section. Can nothing be done to abato it? As wo have societies for the promotion of tem perance, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and societies for the suppression nf vice, cnn we not have ?o each, community a society for thc enp pressiiin of titles? Let us declare that ire will set our faces sternly against all Judges and Honorables except where the person)* addressed actually occupy ofHcial position, and that we. will abandon tho idiotic habit of calling every man we meet Major acid Colonel. Let os increase the nurnber of Misters and eliminate the civic and mi?tnry dignitaries from socie ty as much as posible.
