Bermuda Grass. ; Mr. FnrroR: You were greatly inter? ested last year in my cultivation of lucerne and Bermuda grass. I have mowed three crops from my one and one fifth acres this season to the 19th July, getting in all thirty wagon loads. The lasu load I had weighed to ascertain the' yield. > 1 sold it readily on the streets'^ $1.50por 100 pounds. Taking the weight of this load as an average, and it was below rather than above, and the rate at which it was sold, I have already bar vested from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds good hay, worth over $160. The cost of har vestingr including hire -of mower, will not exceed an outlay of $10: ..cost, of production, thirty wagon loads; of bare yard manure; home made,' broad-casted over the plot last winter, worth say $25. I harvested five -crops from tho same piece of ground last year. How does this compare with cotton raising,? Northern .hay, you., know,..is mcreasiog as an article of Commerce *u> our cbiihtry. ? ? . B. P. WT ~~.The Cnlturo of Tobacco. Mr.^Editor ^ As it has. .heen some Itime'sincejl noticed anj-Word $f-encour? agement on the culture of tobacco, Z will give the readers of your paper some dots "on"the "subject of the filthy weed, as it may be of some benefit in the future to those whose intention it may bo to go into the business. ' For the past three years it has been a question among our farmers whother wc could grow tobacco successfully in our- State, or whether it would bo profitable if grown. Notwith? standing all. that lias been said about tobacco; very littleof it has oeen planted in our County. If we doubt it growing :successfnlly, how will we know until we try it? If' we doubt there being any mvney in it, how will we know until we have given it a fair trial ? \Ve have a risk to run fa any crop we grow, and this year has been very risky on all crops, especially the cotton crop, which, at present,' looks very discouraging to its r . ..ter. Yet cotton is the great king, -aud it is useless to say we will lay it down and try to make money out of any? thing else. Wo think there is money in cotton - simply because wc use to make monkey-by growing it; But there is no money in it now, as it costs what it will bring to make it. There is no money in anything that costs its value to make it. I have laid the rusty-bladed cotton hoe aside, and am cultivating 3,185 plants of tobacco. My rows are. 3J by 4 feet. The Spring , having been favorable on all plants, X had little or no trouble to secure a stand by the 10th of Jane. I am well pleased with the cultivation of it. I plowed it with a cotton sweep-twice and hoed it one lime. I found it very easy to manage up to Jane, tbat'heing the month for the horned worm to make its appearance. Since then I have gone over the. plants twice a week, and now consider myself somewhat an expert in the- worm-killing business.. I am now succoring and toppi?g. I find tho suc? coring equal to the worming, which is very - constant,' but not very hard work. I would ither cultivate tobacco than cotton. T'do not know-how much ray crop will bring en the market. Give us a tobacco factory at Anderson, and let every farmer in tho County plant a'fialf acre in the v-oed, and we will -soon be convinced that it is a money crop.- Tobacco has built towns and cities in Virginia and North Carolina. It will do the same thing here. D, H. G. Dibbling Cotton. . This mode of planting cotton is resort? ed to on account of bad seed; and bad. seasons. About twenty-five years ago was the first and last lime I bad to resort to this mode of planting. The former time, was on account of- fine seed, to make. J them go as far as possible. I then: could not understand the reason of so bad a stand?seed, season aod mode of plant? ing being good.. This season having Slanted defective seed, and the season eing the worst I remember, I had to resort to dibbling in order u> save the litlTe that come up. Ten hands were em? ployed a day and a half opening, drop? ping and covering. The work was very well done. The result was a complete failure. Perhaps there are not 500 stalks thus planted now standing. I havo heard of others who met with the same result.. Now, it is of importance to know tohy? thd sejed will not come. I have thought a great deal about it, and the re suit of my thoughts is this: The holes for the reception of seed are made with the corner of a hoe: ? Ten or fifteen seed are deposited in the bottom of this small space; the seeds ar6 piled one upon the other and the earth surrounds them as a whole not coming in contact with each. One separately; as it should, to effect per? fect, germination. The result is that if they do so germinate it is imperfect, and the plants are puny. And even if they survive, they are almost sure to die after they are thinned. The plants all being jammed together, the surplus ones cannot be taken out without lacerating the roots of the one left. The mechanical obstruction of one seed to. the other on account of being massed together, prevents the germination and the necessary laceration of the roots in thinning are the causes, I think, of the above result and I am sure I shall never dibble again, and would advise others never to do it. ' There are now being manufactured cotton -planters to space cotton, but tbey will bo objectionable for same reasons. X W. Crawford, ? ;.j .\. ? Cold "Spring, S. C. "??/^?_' What tSrcw From a Negro's Foot. ' . *? It was rather an amusing incident that first brought to the attention of a truck farmer, of Charleston, S. O., tb? impor? tance; of firming the soil. It seems, that a gentleman'o? color, having the consti? tutional weaknesii "for chickens peculiar to..some of his race, got into a henroost aud. helped, himself bountifully. In ?evading; the high-road, he struck a -bee*'| line through a newly sown .turnip field, where he left tracks that led'to his detec? tion. But these tracks did more. They ?hbjwedi. io Squire Buncombe^, whose chickens had suffered,, that wherever the foot of the- colored citizen had fallen, there he had a "stand" of turnips, arid nowhere else'(for they had been loosely sown 'and the weather was dry). The lesson was heeded and has been worth tens of thousands of dollars to the farm? ers of South Carolina, who, it Beems, were never before sufficiently alive to the importance of firming the soil until'the unfortunate negro showed him the way,. ?Peter Henderson, in American,Agricultu? rist. ., ... . ?.The'people of the United States use 150,000,000 steel pens annually. ,'. ? Tho rival factions of tho Oconce democracy have'mutually, agreed on a fair compromise of their differences, arid peace is now fully restored. THE OPEN DRAW. "Now, promise me, Royal? Please promise!" Grace Arden looked up into her lover's face with wistful blue eyes and cheeks stained with faint crimson. Royal Meriam looked at her with the laugh of conscious superiority. "What nonsense, Grace! As if there were any real danger ?" "There is always danger, Royal, in your business, and with?with that habit 1" s 'iHabit>.>Grajpe ? - Now you are going r. 'little'-' too -far.- ? I don't drink any more than , other men.' It is not a confirmed "ha?it with me and never will be." "Good-by, Royal!" "You won't kiss me ? You are vexed ?" "Only sorry, Royal. Because I know that papa will never let me marry a man who drinks I" Royal Meriam turned on his heel, and he strode away, muttering something about "narrow-minded old fools, who expected every one to be cut after their own pattern." But he had walked only a little distance wheri the cloud cleared away from his face, and the old, careless, good-natured smile once more came back. "Dear little Gracie 1" he said to him? self. "Perhaps she's right, after all. I believe I am getting to be moro fond of a stray glass than I ought to be, but of course there's no danger. A man can always control himself. Still I'll go back to-morrow and make peace-with the little blue eyed kitten, and if she wants me to promise, why I'll promise." The "Shepherd's Arms" was an unpre tendiug little village hostelry through whose drawn red curtains the evening lights shone cheerily, and Royal Meri am's boon companions welcomed him, uproarously. "You're .coming to the end of your rope,'old fellow," said one. "The super? intendent, is going to strike everybody that drinks' a social glass off from 'the list. Says it aiu't business-like?can't afford to run any risks." "I don't know what tho world's coming to, for my part," said another, looking into the bowl of his short black pipe. "A man might as well be a slave and done with it." "I've heard something of it before," said"Meriam,.carelessly. "I don't know but what it is a wise enough regulation, on the whole. But there's one thing cer? tain: I'll drink the superintendent's health to night, if I never do again." A general laugh echoed this assertion of Royal Meriam; and in the hour or two that followed poor Grace Arden's piteous request, Grace Arden's tear brimming blue eyes were entirely forgot .: v- ? - ?- * ?? I "Drunkv^I drunk 1 i Never was more sober in my'life. Yes, yes, I know it's time to start, and here I am fresh as a cricket." ... Royal Meriam swuug himself to his place on the glittering, fire-throated lo? comotive with the careless ease and light? ness of a mountaineer. . "Go ahead," he called out.. ' The depot-master looked curiously at him. "You:mhy not: be drunk,5' said he, soito voce, "but you have been drinking, my fine fellow and you'll get reported at. headquarters before the world is twenty four hours older." So saying he drew a little leather mem? orandum-book' out-of his vest pocket, and wrote down the words, "Meriam, engineer, Flying Dart," upon it, with the slow, mechanical ' accuracy of one who corisidersin his own mind." Meriam fully believed in his own as-, sertion that ho was not drunk*. He bad been .drinking a good deal, but then he knew his head could stand more than the average 1>Fbrains. He felt a sort of lightness?a jocular, content?as he sat there at his post'. The lights along the' road sparkled more prominently than usual; the stars seemed to shino with unwonted .^brightness/and" once or -twice* he/chught himself huskily, answering some one who bad not spoken. All of a sudden he grew sleepy?his brain seemed to become confused. "All right," said.he?"all? right L I'll back the Flying Daft against any engine on the road. Why, she couldn't go wrong if she, was. to try. ?Are we?are we'far frbin trie draw-bridge?" The fireman suddenly started to hin feet, with a hoarse, gasping cry. "The signal ?" shouted he. "The red light! Stop her, for God's sake! Sound down breaks! We are on the bridge, and the draw is open!" In less than a second the mist and drowsiness; and:the fatal lethargy, seemed to clear away from the engineer's brain, and he bad fully comprehended the awful terror of their position?tho express train rushing at dizzy speed toward the yawn? ing gulf, beneath "which lay the black river. The signal I And he had not seen it. Mechan.cally he sounded the whistle, sharp and shrill?two brief, unearthly shrieks?and then sprang out into the darkness, through which- the red light streamed like an eye of sullen fire. He had done what he could to save the fated train, and he gsasped blindly at the one- chance in five hundred for his own life. Ho sprang, and striking, .against tho beams, lost all consciousness in the in? stant that tho train skimmed by him, its long array of lights gleaming and vanish? ing, and faces here and there looking out of the windows, all unconscious that they were going to Death! * * * ?? * # -- A bleak December day, with the snow flakes clicking against the window-panes, a wood fire crackling on the hearth, and Grace Arden's light figure coming and going like a little br^wn-robed Sister of Charity?Royal Meriam's eyes vaguely took in these things, lying among his pillows, before he remembered? Remembered! Remembered, that he was an outcast among men?a murderer. "Grace," he gasped, "tell me. How came I here ? How was T saved ?" "They found you on * j bridge, dear. Hush ! You must not ta;g much. You are very weak and feeble. You were quite unconscious, and terribly bruised." "And?the train? Was .it totally wrecked ?" "It wasn't wrecked at all," said Grace, with brighted face. "For tho draw was notvopen.". , >Oi: "Not open ?" "No; it had been, but was just closed again, and the men had not yet taken down the-open signal when the express rushed on without any warning whatever. They stopped it on the other side and missed yo?." "No one was killed then ?'.' he shudder? ed, feeling as if a mountain of horror was lifted from his breast. ? "No one.", j . "Grace," he whispered, hoarsely, draw? ing hor ;down to him.- "I: was?drunk. If that train had been wrecked the blood of all those helpless passengers, men, women and children, would nave been on my head. God be thanked that He has not punished me as I deserve." * Royal Meriam, a prematurely old and crippled man, lived to atbue for all the faults and follies of his youth. He never re-entered the old profession?he had nerve enough for that, he was wont to say, even if they would kave trusted him again; but he*worked'hard and honestly for his bread, with Grace his wife stand? ing .loyally by his side. And never in ail the long years thatioilowod did a drop of ardent spirits over pass his lips. "I have had my lesson," he said. ?

Isaac and Rebekah, That is a beautiful story of Isaac and ?ebekah as recorded in the Bib!e; Then the other of Jacob serviog seven years for his heart's idol and being cheated by his father-in-law Lab?n, at the end of his long courtship, which, according, to the record, "seemed unto him but a few days." There is none of the marry in haste and repent at leisure about that union. Where is the young man of this modern time who will serve father-in-law seven years.for his Rachel, and, after, having the older sister Huldah put off on him ; will plow, sow and reap, milk the cows and feed the hogs three years more for another one? Talk about mother in-law ! Why, all the black deeds of all the mothers-in-law of the present tirao do not equal the outrage of Laban. But to return to Isaac. There is some? thing peculiarly touching in his case. His wooing by proxy was a risky venture. Suppose the servant who was sent on this erraud had palmed himself off as the principal in the transaction?the party of the first part you know; what might have beenthe result? But this servant was the oldest trusted Borvant of Abraham ?a man who "feared God"?which was the assurance of his fidelity and that the interest of his young master was safe in his care. He was neither Congregational, Methodist nor Baptist; but ho feared God, that was sufficient. , Isaac had got to be about 40 years of age and it'was timo foriiim to marry ; though in our time of life with half the bachelors it is timo to die. But Isaac had spent most of his time in the open air. We don't learn that he drank poor whiskey, or smoke and chewed tobacco. I do not think he belonged to any club, or that ho ever saw a latch key. No, he went to bed with the chickens and rose with the sparrows. We hear of his going out in the field to meditate at "eventido," but it could not have been much after sundown, for be was able to see Rebekah coming on a camel. Besides, this wa? an extra occasion, when some variation from the routine of his usual quiet way of life might be tolerated. Isaac was about to change the whole course of his life, and most men in his situation would desire, or at least would do well to meditate at eventide. Ho was interested to know what kind of a woman the servant would bring him for a wife. If he had seen the girls around him, frizzed, banged and bustled, or arrayed in the abominations of modern fashions, ? as a sensible man he would have made up his mind that if the proposed Mrs. Isaac would come to him in that way to send her right back to her respected pa? rents, But Rebekah was none such, She was innocent, fair and modest, too; for we learn that she took a veil and covered her face when about to meet her future husband. Then there is another good thing recorded?Isaac loved her "and was comforted after his mother's death." Isaac was wise in not marrying before the death of his mother. Of all the bad positions in which a young wife can be placed, that of being brought to the house of her husband's parents is one of the worst. Isaac brought his wife into Sa? rah's tent, but Sarah was no longer there, else I doubt if Mr. and'Mrs. Isaac could have passed an hundred and twenty years without some blot of a family quarrel to disfigure this otherwise clear record of connubial felicity. And now young man, don't marry un? til you can bring your Rebekah into your own tent. No matter if your tent is made of five-cent muslin; better that than to begin life in a place with the old folks. ? I do not know all that may be human nature, but I have learned by experience and observation, that female nature can? not be kind to a son's wife. I could cite many cases in point ; one where not twenty-four hours ago the young husband died. The mother and sister, engrossed in ' their own selfish sorrow, leave the girl-widow alone with her infant and her deeper sorrow, as much a stranger in "Sarah's tent" as she would be if among entire strangers. The innuendoes, the insinuations, the open accusations that?"if my son had not married as he did?if. b? had not overworked to support a wife?if \o had not been neglected, he would have beeu living to-day!" v Snch unjust remarks may be caused by spleen or indigestion ; but they wound just as deeply all the same. Isaac did not marry to gratify a passing fancy, but for a'worthy purpose, Sweet sixteen did not captivate him by the arts of the modern drawing room. Rebekah was a working girl?not a fashionable doll. She was well fitted to be the help? mate of an honest, independent working man. . When. Isaac took her to be his wife he did not tie around his neck a bundle of weak' nerves, artificial wants and pampered caprices, or a distorted anatomy. No; he locked arms . with physical, and mental perfection, 03 near as that can bo found on earth, and 120 years of comfort and felicity followed as the natural result. Young man,.study the life and charac? ter of Isaac. Young woman imitate the graces of Rebekah; then both of you go and do likewise. J.' Or C FEATHBBSTON- c. c. KEATIIEHSTON.

In 1878 there came on my hand what was thought to b9 a carbuncle, which ran its course several months, broke, and finally healed. The next spring knots, or nodes, came on my arms, which were thought to be rheumatic, and I took gal? lons of medicine from the best physicians in Cuthbert, Ga., where I then resided. About this time my left limb below the knee commenced swelling at a fearful rate, and finally came to a head and broke. Both arms were sore, and I could hardly bear my weight standing, and kardly know how I managed to live through it all. About this time we moved from Cuthbert to Atlanta. I began to despair of ever getting well; the sore on my limb was a regular eating ulcer, now about three inches in length, two inches in width, seeming to be down to tbe bone, and discharging about a cupful of pus (matter) per day: my arms still ruuning,.my sleep disturbed, and I sometimes thought I would lose my rea? son. A friend called on me one day, Mr. A. J. VanDuzee, rind recommended B. B. B., and was certain it would cure me. Iii a short time I got my son to get me two bottles, and I saw the improvement from the very fir3t.
