Joined with a lovely foature ? Be shs meeker, landor, than Turtle dove or i ellcan, lr she be not so to me. What care 1 how kind she be ? Shall a woman's virtue move Me to perish for her love? Or bor well-deserving known, Make me quite forget mice own ? Be she with that goodness blest, Which may gain her name of best. If she be not such to me. What eire I how good she bo ? 'Cause her fortune seems too high, Shall 1 play the fool and die ? Those that bear a noble mind, Where they want of riches find. Think what with them they w.mld do, 1 hat without them dare to woo: And unions that mind 1 see, What cure I how great she be ? Great, or good, or kind, or fair, I v< ill ne'er f l o more despair. If she love me, this believe, I will die ero ehe shall ?rleve: If she si in Lt mc, when I woo, I oin scorn aud lee her KO; Toe ii eho bo not BO lor me. What care I for whom she be ? HINTS ON AGltlCULTUHJS. The Ramie Plant. Tho ramie belongs to the nettle family "Whoever uaw a luxuriant uottlo in a fence cor? ner awaiting tho unwary to make hts bauds stuart, has nearly a true picture of tho ramio in ita appearance. The ramie, standing singlo, is inclined to make many side shoots or late? rals, which is especially the caso thc lirst sea? son. As soon tts it has been once or twice cut down, close to or rather about ona inch under tho ground, and the roots have boconio strong? er, a largo number of ratoons will sprout from the roots and bulbouns, and le v or no side shoots will BIIOW themselves. Tho shoots or ratoons from tho roots will stand close and push each other up. These closo standing ' shoots contain tho host fibre; thoy aro hollow, almost as much so as cane. As soon us the fibre has tho proper strength the stem begins to color a lit flo darker near tho ground. Tho size which tho plants reach in a certain time varies according to richness and kind of soil, as well as v eather and mode of cultivation. As a general rule it may be said as soon as tho stems have reached a little more than four foot, tho fibre will bo ot good quality, but does not get hurt if left uncut till it reaches eight to ten feet in length. COIiTOR?. It cannot bo too much recommended to have the piece of land intended for the ramie deep? ly cultivated; sub-soiled to fourteen inches would not be too deep, and this is tlie most laborious work in the whole cultivation. The first year weeds have to be cut out, but this will givo but httlo trouble. Tho second year the plaut will have so many rotoons that other ?liants will have no room to vegetate. From his timo tho cultivation wili give very littlo trouble, except ono ploughing between the rows early in tho spring and atter each cutting, and manure over tho fields during tho winter season. The field ought to bc laid oil* in pieces of about twenty rows in width, and a passage left for a cart ol' wagon. Tho rows ought to be about four feet apart, and tho plants in tho rows half that distance. When tho field is ready for planting, a furrow is made every four feet,"about three to four niches deep, and in these furrows tho plants aro placed, with littlo more care than negroes^ plant sweet potatoes. The furrows ought to be made so that the rain will not stand too long, yet all heavy washing ought to bo prevented. Hooted plants as well as layers ought to be covered with earth nearly to the top; roots ought to bo cov? ered with earth two or three inches deep. In case some plants or roots should not grow, the vaoancies should bo filled as soon as possible, and always the best plants taken for this pur? pose, BO as to get an even growing field. As Boon as the plants have reached seven to eight inches in height, they should b:> topped (as in the nursery) to force out side shoots. When these latter aro grown to about five or six .inches in length, tho plant has a kind of bushy appearance; then tho plant is hilled nearly to the top. It is now lott to grow until it has reached nearly tho height of three feet, when it is cut down oven with tho ground, or bettor, one inch below. Tho fibre of this first growth can be used, but is not perfect yet, because tho roots and bulbs aro not large enough, and there are as yet too many side shoots. A few days after this cutting, a groat many ratoons will make their appearance on the sur? face. The whole work now consists in keeping out all weeds. This second growth will be, under similar circumstances, a great deal more rapid than the fir.it was, aud can be out when about four feet high; each growth will have fewer aide shoDts, and soon they will disappear alto? gether. The planting in the held ought to bo done in the spring, but can be continued until the beginning of September. Those which aro planted lato should be covered in winter with straw or leaves, because thoy aro too young and tender to resist severo frosts. Those planted early in spring and summer do not need any firotection, as they will make roots eighteen to wenty-four inches deop. All refuse matter fall? ing off in cleaning the fibre ought to bo fed or cured and put in the barn for winter nse. All the manure coming from tho plant ought to bc carefully gathered and put back on tho field. In thia way, sueh a field will give a rich return for many years, without nood of being replant? ed. Tho experience in regard to soil ia yet limited, but it is certain that a rich sandy loam suite tho plant very well. The plant can be grown so far north as the earth does not freeze more than four inches deep in winter. The best portions of this country wiil be tho southern part of Texas, and tho States of Lou? isiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. USE OF THE It AMII:. Tne ramie is useful in two ways. It con? tains, first, r silk-like fibre . of "uncommon strength and fineness; and, second. Ibo refuse furnishes an excellent food tor stock, which in 3u an ti ty compares favorably with clover. Tho bro will not only replace the cotton, but ia bound to be a strong rival to flax. In strength its fibre is nearest to silk, and as soon as there is a little more experience and intelligence brought into requisition, by the oultivation and manufacture of the textile, it will be found to bo the best substitute for silk. Suppose this plant to have none of this use? ful fibre, its cultivation would be of immense value as food for stock, in a great many por? tions of the South. Another most important point in introducing the ramie hero, is its easy oultivation. The ?rst year it requires no more work than sweet potatoes, and thou the main work ia in harvesting. Tho quantity of fibre will be more and the price double that of cotton. In case a field should be ploughed up after a series of years for some other purpose, then the roots and bulbs will make excellent food for hogs, or can be manufactured into a durable dye. The fenoes have to bo kept in good order, because if cowa and hogs are onca accustomed to it, they will break down a poor fence to get to it. During the winter cows can be turned into ramie fields, but hogs and horses should be kept out. So far this plant has no destruc? tive enemies. The so-c*!!ed nettle worm sakes its appearance some Seasons, but never burta the fibre; it is satisfied with the lower leaves of the plant, and is in this way harmless. Besidoa, if they were as destructive as the cot? ton worm they could not Injure the crop very much, as each cutting is matured ina very ; short period of time. .?HQ'II li ft A IN AND MUSCTJIS, .y The Pood for Knelt. Dr. Albert .Hollows' book, "How not to be Sick," has some good suggestions about food. We quoto a portion of what be says in regard to BRAIN V70BKEMH. It has been proved by analysis that tho more active the brain, the more phosphorus is used np and thrown off by the system, clergymen using np more on Sundays, and lawyers on court days, than at any other times, and yet our professional mon have lived as other men live-eating what bas come before them with? out considering whether the elements they take are adapted to develops stupidity or mon? tai vigor; eating, perchance, such stupefying articles as ham or fat pork, and white bread and butter while making or preaching a ser? mon, and such phosphatio food as trout and other fish, with unbolted bread, vegetables and fruit, when idle or rusticating. But a lit? tle observation would show a vast difference in tho quality of Bernions, whethor mado and preached on carbonaceous or phosphatic diet; and tho estimate of the old divino, "if the number of tons of beans and pork preached to every Sunday while tho owners wore asleep might bo offset by an estimate of tho uumber ot congregations, not only in New England but iu Old England, and all tho rest of tho fat and starch-eating world, who are put asleep by ser? mons made from stupefying principles extract? ed from tat pork, fat beof and superfine flour." "Iho nitratos and Phosphaten of all meats and vegotables are partly soluble and partly insoluble; and, thereforo, in soaking in cold water, all lose much that is important, espe? cially to tho thinking man. In cold water, al? bumen is dissolved or lott, but tn hot water tho albumen is coagulated, and mostly re? tained; but in hot water as well as cold, tho soluble phosphates are lost. Neither fish, nor meats nor vegetables should, therefore, over be pickled in brine, nor should they be boiled unless in a little water, as in the admirable ar? rangement of Zimmerman or Durcklee, whore all tlie soluble material;-, as well as all tho flavor, are retained in tho water that is neces? sary to koop up tho steam, and being used as gravy or soup, all tho elements aro saved as nature intended. In roasting, or broiling, or, indeed, in any manner ot cooking, caro must be taken nor to burn up or otherwise destroy or loso any of tho juices of either vegotablo or animal food; especially is this important for thinking men, and for those whoso digostion is full-tho power of tho stomach, as woll as thc power of the blain, being dependent on soluble phos? phorus. And especially is tli3 power of tho Btotnach dependent on tho flavor of tho food. Let any one try tho experiment of cooking meats, tish, potatoes, carrots, turnips, or any other food-animal or vegetable-in a steamer in which the fl ivor and all tho steam are dis tilled'back and saved, and compare tho taste of these with thui of ibo samo food cooked so that all these elements aro lost, and he will bo astonished at the difference in the. flavor, digestibility, and mental and physical energy imparted by it. MUSCLE WOBKEB8. From the chapter on ''Food for Laboring Mon," wc make sonio valuable selections also." Tho kinds of food most wanted, because eaten when not wanted, by tho system, are tho most expensive. Tho article most used when not wauted, is supe; lue flour, out of which has been bolted a largo portion ot its nitratos sud phosphates. This being used with butter and sugar, furnishes very little but heating mate? rial. The next, article on which most money is expended and wasted, because most used with other articles containing enough ot car? bonaceous elements, is butter, which con? tains not a particle of strength or lite-giving material, and therefore useless except with food deficient in carbon. And another arti? cle most extensively usod and for tho same reason wasted, is sugar, which though use? ful with too acid fruits, and as a part of a meal in which is too largo a proportion of nitrogenous food, is worse than usoless iu con? fectionery, cakes, Ac., especially if eaten be? tween meals, and when food ts not wanted, as it not only adds to the superfluous heat, but causes fermentation in the stomach and bow? els, aud causes, or tends to cause, flatulence, colic, dyspepsia, and tho thousand and ono troubles of tho digestive organs, which wo aro apt to impute to green vegetables and fruit, when tho fijct is, these extra carbonaceous sub? stances, in ?hcir passage out of the system, ambarruss the digestion of natural food, and ?ause it to give us these troubles; and this ?B proved by thc fact that those who avoid theso ?xpensivo and useless articles may eat as much ts they choose of green vegetables and fruits, md they give them no flatulence, produce no irritation. Our forefathers, who lived on boans, peas uuboltod grains, and tho meats, vegetables, and fruits as they came from their fields and guidons, cooked in tho simplest manner, best calculated to developo thoir natural flavor, and prepare them for digestion, were not troubled with flatulence, colic, or indigestion. And our ibreniothers were not tho pale-faced, flabby nuscied, toothless, chlorotic, consumptive, md sentimental iace, as aro their degenerate laughters of the prosent generation. Even JUT far tiers and thoir wives and daughters iavo become terribly degenerated. Instead of ;he robuat and healthy men, and tho i'ull mested, healthy, rosy-cheeked, beautiful wo? llen of former generations, wo?soe a people ilmost as feeble and sickly as the city pooplo. V.nd the reason is aDparont. The outor crust )f the wheat, and tho buttermilk, which con ains tho nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron, on vliich strength and energy, mental and physi sal, and beauty of complexion depend, is given ;o tho cattle and tho pigs, while they tako themselves, instoad, tho buttor, fine flour and sugar, whiob contains only tho heating and liseaso-producing carbonates. The robust Irishman aud Scotchman, also, who comes hero with strong, energetic mue jles, and sound tooth, from their oatmeal, wheat and barley cakes, with their potatoes, tmttoimilk and cheeso, soon tall ?nto our starch and grease-eating habits, and become, JV at least their children become, OB pale, puny and toothlees as pure-blooded Yankees. LYNCH I1A.W. A Terrible Trogt ?ly in Tennessee. We clip the following particulars of midnight murders perpetrated in JDyersburg, Tennessee, anthe night of tho 5th, from Neal's State Ga zotte, published in that place : In our last issue wo stated that three mon, James Evaus, Giles Moody and Bud Evans, were beiug tried in this place, charged with aorse-stealing, and that it was supposed they belonged to a well-organized baud of outlaws ihat have for same time boen a terror to :hts section of country. Up to Friday light thoir trial had nat been concluded, md they were remanded to jail until the next, 1101.ung, being in tho custody ot Sheriff Shaw and a guard of seven men. At about nie o'clock the next morning (Saturday) tho ail was quietly surrounded by about one hnn lrod and fifty ormedtnen, disguised, and com nandod by th reo officers. One-half, tho my s :eridus visitors were dismounted, the roinain ier on horseback, all uniformed in black, trira ned with white, each man having a wido whito 3and around his hat. Their Appearance at tho ail was sudden, and the sheriff Baw at a glance .0 resist was madness. Ho and his guards mrrendored, were relieved of their arms, and, ;ogether with tho jailer, placed under guard in ".ont of tho midnight cavalcade. The jail keys were secured and tho prisoners taken out ono it a time, each having his arms tied behind lis back with a long white rope, which was al* owed to drag on ibo ground. Af I er the prisoners were placed near tho iheriff and his guards, tho mon who had taken ipon themselves tho fearful responsibility ot looming throe human beings to instant death :00k up thou silent march, not an unnecessary word being spoken by either party. At the wooden bridge which spans the Forked Deer at this placo they halted. A few minutes was jiven the prisonor?-Bud Evans, Giles Moody md James Evans-for prayer, after which a de? tail ol eight mon was allotted to each as execu? tioners. Each ot tho prisoners wero then sta? tioned at a different point, several yards apart, when the fatal signal was given and the details fired their dreadful volley, and Moody and James Evans fell dead in their tracks, pierced with a dozen bolls. Bud Evans was only wound? ed, and he ran a hundred yards, uttering such yells as can only come from the doomed and despairing, lie was pursued and shot, dying in front of Mr. Alfred Stevens' residence. The sheriff and bis guard were now released, and in ten minutes the masked horsemen, who had executed their horrible work with a stillness, coolness and military precision that was truly surprising, had en? tirely disappeared in different directions. After they had Ult, the sheriff, together with such citizens as had been aroused by the firing,. went for Squire Sampson, when an inquest was hold over tho bodies of tho slaughtered men, and a verdict rendered in accordance with tho abovo facts. The dead bodies were then taken to tho courthouse, where a large crowd of excited and wondering men feasted their eyes upon the ghastly spectacle until tho remains were conveyed to their homes, about ton miles from Diersburg. And thus ended the most frightful tragedy that stains the his? tory of Dyer County, the perpetrators of whioh are supposed to bo non-residonts of this country. -Jenkins having made inquiry, reports that five of ibo European sovereigns are baohelors one hos been divorcod, without going to Chica; go; twenty-six of them aro married, especially the Sultan of Turkey, and six have loft their consorts by death..
