Any one who i8 disposed to try a hear? ty laugh must make the necessary prep? aration before reading the following amusing sketch of a bashful young man : John Jackson was a very industrious, hardworking young man. of twenty-three years. Being the eldest child and the only bod, he had always remained at home, assisting his father upon the farm. John was much respected by every one in the neighborhood in which he lived, and many a bright-eyed aud loving dam? sel had secretly thought that she would, like to change her name to Mrs John Jackson. But John could not be fooled in this way, for he was no "ladies' man." The fact was that John was a very bash? ful young man. He would rather hoe potatoes or mow hay all day than under? go the ceremony of an introduction to a young lady. Not that John disliked the dear little and loving creatures?far from it. We believe that he, in common with all bashful, well meaning men, entertain? ed the very highest respect and admira? tion for them. And this, no doubt, was the principal cause of his bashfulness. He felt that they were the weaker vessels and superior beings, and that he was unworthy to associate with them upon terms of equality. But we cannot stop to moralize. Nancy Clark was a gay and dashing girl and was the daughter of a respecta? ble farmer whose lands adjoined the Jackson farm. Nancy was a pretty, saucy little buxom lass, and she liked John Jackson. When they were children they attended the same school, and as he was a few years her senior was usually her champion in the childish disputes that arose, and her companion in going aud returning. At last John became so much of a young man as to be kept at home from school, as she had been in past years. John in the meantime dis? covered, too, that he had been growing in stature, and it seemed as if he had been growing oui; of shape. His feet and legs appeared very awkward ;' his face pained him, and taking all in all, he was inclined to think ho, was not more than half put together. Now the truth was John Jackson was really a fine looking young man, and nothing but his admiration of Nancy could have suggested any such foolish thoughts about himself. As the novelisls say, it was on a lovely day in August. The heavens were clear, serene and beautiful?the trees were laden with golden and delicious fruit> and the beautiful birds twittered their warbling bongs of love in the branches. The earth?(there, we have slid down to the earth once more ; such lofty and elevated heights, they, make our head dizzy.) We were about to say that the earth had yielded her bountiful harvest of a year's grass and clover^and honey? suckles, which the noble yeomanry of Ohesterville had garnered within their store-bouses?bu!; upon second thought concluded to word it thus : "The farm? ers of Ohesterville were done haying." John Jackson's sister had a quilting that afternoon. His father had gone to "Keith's Mills" to get some wheat ground for the occason, and John was left at home to repair some tools to be ready on the next day to commence mowing the meadow grass. Suddenly it occurred to John that if he remained about the housejin the afternoon, he would certainly be called in at tea time and required to do the honors of the table. This, John could not be induced to accomplish under the state of his bashful mind. To avoid this, an idea flashed across his disturbed mind to leave the place, so he quietly shouldered his scythe and stole away to the meadow, half a mile distant, fully resolved that he would not leave there until it was so dark that he could not see to mow, and thus avoid seeing any of the girls. The meadow was surrounded on all sides by a thick forest, which effectually shut out what lit tle air there might be stirring. The sun poured out its rays as though the little meadow was the focus point where the heat was concentrated. John would mow and sweat?sweat and mowed until he was obliged to sit down and cool off. Thon it occurred to John that if he took off his pants, having on no drawers, it would be more pleasant and much more comfortable to him* He thought there could be no impropri? ety in it, as he was entirely concealed from observation, and there was not the slightest reason to suppose that he could be seen by any person. So John found himself stripped with no cover save his linen?commonly called a shirt?he resumed his mowing. He had not the slightest idea of him being disturbed in his secluded position, and he was just congratulating himself upon the good time he had haying, and the lucky escape he bad made from meeting the girls, when he chanced to disturb a huge black snake, a genuine twister, with a white ring around Ms neck, who thinking that his rights and liberties were being enroached upon, placed himself in a defensive attitude. John was no coward, but he was mor? tally afraid of a snake. "Self-preserva? tion" was the first "passage" that flashed upon John's mind, and "legs take care of the body" wa3 the next. Dropping his scythe and spinning round like a top, he was ready to strike a 2.40 gait, when, at that moment his lordship, the snake was near enough to make a strike and hooked his crooked teeth into John's shirt, just above the hem. With a tremendous spring he started off with the speed of a locomotive. His first jump took his snakeship straight and clear from the ground, and as John stole a hasty glance over his shoulders, he was horrified to find the snake securely fastened to the tail of bis shirt; while the speed with which he rushed forward kept the snake straight in the air at an angle of ninety degrees with his body. Here was a quandary. John at once thought that if be stopped the snake would coil himself about bis legs and body and squeeze him to death ; if he continued the race he would soon fall from sheer exhaustion. On he flew, scarce daring to think how his dreadful race would end. Instinctively he had takeu the true course for home, when a feeling of relief and security came over him. Suddenly flashed across his mind the true state of affairs?his father gone, the big quilting?and worst of all, meet? ing the girls in his shirt-tail! This new horror sent the blood back curdling about his neck, and ho came to a dead halt. In a moment he felt the body of the cold, glassy, clammy suako in contact with his bare legs, his tail creeping around them in a sort of an ooziug way, as though his Bnakeiihip only meditated a little fun, by way of tickling John upon the knees. This was too much for John to endure. With a yell, such as a man never utters save when in mortal terror, poor John again set forward at a break-neck pace, and once more had the pleasure of seeing the snake resume his horizontal position, somewhat after the fashion of a comet. On he flew. John now forgot the quilting, forgot the girls, forgot every? thing but the snake. His active exercise (he paid particular attention to his running;) together with the excessive heat, had brought on bleeding at the nose, and as he ran, ears erect and head thrown back, his chin, throat and shirt bosom were stained with the flowing stream of blood. As he approached the house his first wild shriek had startled the qailters, and out they rushed to ascertain the cause, wondering if it was not some mad Indian prowling about. By this time John had got within a few rods of the barn, still running at the top of his speed, bis head turned so that.he could keep one eye on the snake, and with the other observe what course he must run. The barn for a time was a shield to conceal him from the girls. He knew that they were in the yard, having caught a glimpse of them as they rushed out of the house. A few more bounds and he would be in their midst in bis awful predicament. For a moment modesty overcame fear, and he once more halted. But the snake, evidently being too well pleased with his new and rapid transportation, manifested his gratitude by again attempting to enfold the naked legs of our bold hero within his icy embrace. ' With an explosive "ouch!" he was urged forward by "circumstances over which he had no control," poor John bounded onward. The next moment j he was in full view of the girls, and as ! he turned the corner of the barn, the snake came around with a whiz some? thing after the fashion of a coach-whip. Having reaching the barn yard, to his dismay he found the bars up ; but time was too precious to be wasted in letting down bars. Gathering all bis strength by the time he reached the bars, he bounded over them high into the air? the snake ditto?and as he alighted on the other side, his snakeship's tail crack? ed across the upper bar, snapping like an India fire cracker. Well, this just made John get up and git, and he set forward, now utterly re? gardless of the presence of the girls, for the .extra crack of the snake's tail as he leaped over the bars, seemed to have banished all the bashfulnessand modesty which surrounded him, but ho still had the pleasure of finding the ugly varmint hanging on in a straight line, drawing steadily at the hem of his shirt tail. The house now become the center of attraction, and around it he revolved with the speed of thought. Every time in each revolution as he turned the cor? ner, his snakeship came around with a whiz which was quite refreshing and amusing to the girls. While describing the third circle, as he came near the group of wonder struck girls, without removing his gaze from the snake, he managed to cry out: "CALL A MAN 1" The next moment he whisked out of sight, and, as quick as thought, reappear? ed on the other side of the house crying out: "CALL A MAN 1" And away he whirled again turning the corner so rapidly that the whiz of the snake sounded half way between a whistle and the repeated pronunciation of a double-e. Before either of the girls had stirred from their tracks, he bad performed another revolution and bawled out: "CALL A MAN I" Away he flew, but his strength was rapidly failing. Nancy Clark was the first to recover her presence of mind and seizing a hoop-pole, she took her station near, the corner of the bouse, and as John reappeared, she brought it down upon the snake with such a force that it broke bis back and his hold upon John's shirt tail at the same time. John rushed into the house and to his room, and ai tea time appeared in his best Sunday suit, but little the worie for the race, and to all appearances cured of bashfulness. That night he walked home with Nancy Clark. The New Year they were married, and now, when John feels inclined to laugh at his wife's hoop, or , any other peculiarity, she has only to say: "Call a man," when he instantly sobers down. I Wide Rims on Wagon Wheels, The Legislature of this State has made several efforts to enact a law requiring the rims of the wheels of heavy loaded wagons to be made considerable wider than they now are. While such laws would in time be beneficial to the far mere, aa well as others who would have occasion to move heavy loads, the inde? pendent Massachusetts man would be very likely to feel that the Legislature was infringing upon his individul rights guaranteed to him by the constitution. But that a wide rimmed wheel for heavy loads is much the best, so far as we know, it is believed by everyone who has an opportunity to try it. On a farm a cart with wheels that have rims six inches wide is much belter than one only two inches and a half; the wheels do not cut the sod when passing over the grass land like the old narrow rim. Those who have had opportuuities to test it, are satisfied that a load can be drawn over the farm easier on wide, than narrow rims, and it must be evident even to those who have had no opportunities to test it, that such wheels will do far less injury to the land. If farmers and others interested wouid look into the matter a little they would soon become convinced that whenever they buy new wheels they had better or? der those with wide rims. If the custom could be introduced, it would require but a few years before it would become general, without aDy law. When all heavy loads drawn over our roads arc drawn on wheels with twice or three times as wide rims as they now are^ our roads would not only be in much better condition than now, but the ex? pense would probably be reduced one half. While it may be ;i question whether any one ought to be compelled to widen the rims of his wheels, there, is but little doubt it would bo for Iii? interest to do so, whenever he finds it necessary to buy new ones.??lmsachiwff'* Ploughman, ?

There i3 no sky without, ils cloud no gold without its alloy. Hillside Ditches?Terracing. Will you please say in your next Cul? tivator whether it is best in making hill? side ditches to throw the dirt on the upper side or the lower, or would you do away with all hillside ditches, and instead make terraces? Please give me your advise on this saving land subject, for I believe it is the vital one of the day.? J. H. S. ANSWER.?Ditches are indispensible where water accumulates above a field and naturally flows down through it. One or more ditches at the upper edge of a field are very necessary in such a case. Where the slopes are steep or very long and washes have already started, we find it easy to control the water by a combi? nation of ditches and terraces. After the terraces have become well established and firmly held by grass and weeds, and after the incipient washes have been stopped and obliterated, then the ditches may be filled up. Where land is fresh and has no washes started in it, terraces alone will answer, but as a general rule it is well to begin with ditches and end with terraces. If ditche3 are made, let them be wide and deep enough to carry off the water of the heaviest rains, one that can? not do this will cause more harm than good. Dig the ditch deep enough for the lower edge to hold the water; when the dirt taken out of the ditch is not thrown up into a dam, but is scattered broadcast on the land below, a little nar? row dam on the lower side of a ditch is a very poor dependence; let the ditch be deep enough and wide enough to hold the water without a dam. Give it good fall, not less than one foot in sixty; a ditch is more apt to fill up, than wash out too deep. If it tends to wash out too much, a few obstructions placed here and there along its course will correct that. If a ditch is cut through turfy soil, the dirt may be thrown on the upper side to advantage; but if the dirt is loose, the first big rain is apt to wash it back into the ditch at certain points, and filliug it up cause it to break over. We prefer to throw the dirt broadcast below the ditch and leave an unplowed strip three or four feet wide along the upper margin of the ditch to keep its upper edge from be? ing cut down by the water as it runs into the ditch. This strip is soon set in grass and weeds, which check the force of the water and filted the dirt out of it. The lands between ditches are terraced just like any other, the lines of terraces run? ning across the ditches, so that when the ditches are finally obliterated, the terra? ces will be continuous across the field. You are entirely correct in holding that the saving of the soil from washing is the vital point in the hill country. Hold the soil, hold the manure put in it and deepen it from year to year, until a soil proper, eight or ten inches deep, is secured, and it will truly be a bank of deposit from which the largest dividends may be drawn.?Southern Cultivator. . Throwing Out Hluts. When a Georgia farmer found out that his son John was sparking a certain far? mer's daughter for a year or more without settling any question, he called him out behind the stack and said to him : "John, do you love Susan Tinker?" "I guess I do, dad." "And does she love you ?" "That's what I dunno, and I'm 'fraid to ask her." "Well you'd better throw out a few hints to-night and find out. It's no use wearing out boot leather unless you are going to marry her." That night at ten o'clock John came home a wreck. His face was all scarred up, his ear was bleeding, his hat gone, and his back was covered with mud: "John I John! what on airth is the matter?" exclaimed the old man, laying down his paper. "Bin over to Tinker's," was the reply. "Aud-and-" "And threw out a few hints to Susan." "What kind 'o hints?" "Why, I told her I'd been hoofing it two miles four nights in a week for the last year to set up with her while she chawed gum and sung through her nose, and now I reckoned it was time for her to brush her teeth and darn up her stock? ings, cure the bile on her chin and tell the old folks that we're engaged." "And her father bounced you ?" "No, dad, no; that's where I'm con? soled. It took the whole family, includ? ing Susan, two hired men and three dogs, and then I wasn't mor'n half licked. I guess we moved on 'em too soon, dad?I guess it wasn't quito time to throw out hints."?Savannah Record. Romance of a Boating Accident. St. George's Bay, N. F., May 22.? A French brig arrived here Thursday from Saint Malo, North of France, bound on a fishing expedition toPort-au Choix. She diverged from her course to send on shore Miss Louise Journeaux; who was rescued from a small shell boat at sea about twenty miles from the Island of Jersey. Her story is this : That on Sunday, April 18, haviDg left church, she went out boating with a gentleman companion. While rowing, the oarsman lost one of his oars, and in the effort to rescure it he lost the other. Being a good swimmer, he unhesitatingly jumped over to recover his oars. Meanwhile the wind was freshening and the tide was setting from the shore. He lost sight of the boat and must have sunk. Miss Jour? neaux was then alone, and during the two days and nights was drifting about in her fragile craft, which was almost filled with water and at the complete mercy of wind and tide. When the French brig providentially arrived on the scene she was in a most hopeless con? dition. She was taken on board the brig and cared for, and failing to rerch Jersey was brought 2,000 miles away from home to the West coast of New? foundland. Meantime, Fame, her com? panion, succeeded in reaching shore, and a boat was dispatched in search of the missing shell boat, but without success. Fame was arrested next day and exam? ined before the Mayor of St. Hellers, and committed to custody on a charge of murder. The sentry at Elizabeth Castle deposed that about the hour of the oc? currence he heard cries of murder oft'St. Heller's harbor.

Atlanta, Ga., May 2i.?The strong personal tone that has been given to the joint discussions between Gen. Gordon and Major Bacon, the rival candidates for the Governorship, in their tour through the State, has aroused partisan feeling everywhere as it has not been aroused for a long time. Every commu? nity is divided into factions on the ques? tion whether Major Bacou did right in quitting the army in 1863. So great is the tension on public feeling that Pat? rick Walsh, on behalf of Major Bacon, and E. P. Howell, for Gen. Gordon, have decided that the joint discussions shall cease with the engagement for to? morrow. It is remarked that the propo? sition to abandon the prearranged pro? gramme came from Major Bacon's friends. Now that each of the candidates can make separate dates for speaking, free from the presence of his adversary, it is feared that the personal reference of each to the other will grow more pointed. ?

The Ravages of a Terrible Curse, That Claims its Victims by Thousands? The Horrors Unearthed Among a Few of the Unfortunates of Atlanta, the Home of the Patent Medicine Man, Atlanta Constitution: Atlanta, although in many respects re? garded as a healthy city, is not unlike all other inhabitable portions of .the earth, in claiming her share of victims of the monarch of all dreaded ailments?blood poison. A Constitution man was dele? gated to investigate some of the most notable cases in Atlanta, and in his rounds made the following appalling dis? coveries: Miss Chapman Interviewed. "My name is Mary Chapman, and I live at the corner of Williams and Cox streets. I have been a dreadful sufferer from scrofula and running, eating scrof? ulous ulcers for six years. Have been waited upon during the time by seven Atlanta physicians, also used various ad* vertised remedies, without the least ben? efit. The eating sores on my neck were a mass of corruption almost down to the bones. My throat became so much affected that I could scarcely swallow, my food lodging in a portion of my throat. I was reduced to 90 pounds weight?being a mere skeleton. In this condition I commenced the use of B. B. B., and found great relief in the first bottle. When I bad used five bottles my health had so much improved that the ulcers had all healed, the swelling sub? sided, my appetite returned, my skin be? came active, my strength returned and I gained 44 pounds of flesh. I am now healthy, fat and hearty, and am able to do a3 much work as any woman, and feel as happy as a lark." Uliss Wallace Questioned. Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs George Fickland, 41 McAffee street, and from her own lips the reporter learned the following appalling story: Several months ago she became almost totally blind and deaf. Her bones be? came the Beat of intense pain, her joints were swollen and painful, and eventually her whole body and limbs became cov? ered with splotches aud small sores. Her appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles were paralyzed. To the reporter she said: "I had blood poison and rheumatism, and before one bottle of B. B. B. had been taken I began to see and hear. When I had completed the use of six bottles my eyesight and bearing was fully restored, sense of taste returned, all splotches disappeared, sore? ness all healed, and my strength and flesh restored."
