-? ON SPRING.
Oh t the spring time id coming
With song, liiril, boo and flower ;*
Anil the long bright dnys arc dawning
On grove and mm-lit bower ;
On the hill top, in the mendow
It* hnlmy breeze will play,
Ever bringing Rome sweet token
From opening leaf and spray.
Oli! the spring time incoming.
With Peace 011 rtu golden wing;
War-storm huah'd and red flag furled,
We may reap, and work and sing;
While we watch the cornfields ripen
'tfcath the ttuuHght'd kindly ray,
Let uh tlmnk the hand that scatters
Those blessings on our way.
Oh ! the spring time is bringing
Joy to childhood nnd to sage,
Freali bloom and hope to sunny youth,
And light for the path of age ;
Ilursta of tmixin from the gre?n\voo,d,
And soft murmurs from the stream?
All these tell ub of the spring time,
Brief and bright na life*n first dream.
From the Cotton J'lanirr and Soil.
FEEDING HOGS UPON COTTON 8EED.
pk. Cloud?Bear Sir : As I have been
n constant reader of the Soil of the South
for the last five years, and an overseer for
the last eighteen years, without any intermission,
with the exception of two days
during that time, and have been raising,
flattening and killing hogs, more or less, all
the time. Therefore, if you will allow mo
a small space in your valuable paper, I will
give 3'ou and your readers my experience
in feeding hogs upou cotton seed, and the
woights and average of my hogs for the
last three years. There has been a great
deal said about feeding hogs on cotton
?eed ; a great many people think that cotton
seed will kill theiu. I am muc.Ii of
their opinion, if tliey let tlicm go to tlio
seed beforoiliev have been hented, they are
bui$ to kill them. The way I manage
them is this : I haul my seed out after
they, have been thoroughly heated, and put
them iu a close pen, so that the stock can
not get to them any more than they can to
my corn, which is in the crib. As I haul
them out, 1 put about one gallon of salt to
the wagon load ; I have the salt sprinkled
all through the seed as I throw them out of
the wagon. They are then ready for feeding
to the hogs?I mean to hogs that I intend
to kill at the expiration of the year.?
I never let my sows, pigs nor shoals have
any cotton seed. I commence feeding my
pork hogs about the 1st of February?I
feed them about six months in the year,
once a day, upon cotton seed.
For the sake of convenience, I feed them
in the morning with Lhc scud, at night with
corn. I give them from one to one and a
half ears of corn a day per head, nil the
time that I am feeding them with the
cotton seed. They keep fat and growing
all through the summer and fall. Now, to
prevent iny sows and pigs from the cotton
Beed, I have a lot of about one half acre,
made close and strong, with a pig-pen made
inside of this lot; I also have a good strong
gate to let my sows and pigs through into
the lot.
Now to get them separated, and to their
places. The first thing the bog-feeder does
in the morning, ho goes and opens the gate.
The sows being accustomed to being fed in
this lot, they all run in, the hog-feeder
Knocking Uaci such as he does not want to
go in the lot. Uc then feeds the sows and
pigs?the pigs in the pen, the sows in the
lot. The gate is made fast so they cannot
get out; this is all done with very little
trouble to the hog-feeder. He then goes
to the seed pen, throws out about as many
seed as he thinks the pork hogs will cat up
clean, (the hogs have followed him from
the regular feeding place.) He then returns
b.ack to the lot, opens the gate, aiul
the sows and pigs go out at their leisure,
but before they can get to the seed pen, the
pork hogs have eaten all the seed; so they
get none.
I put my pork hogs up invariably by the
tirst or the middle of September; I put
them in a lot of about two acres, where
they bavo plenty of water to drink and
wallow in. I feed them three times a day
with corn, in the usual way, for some time;
I then, to ehapge their food a little, boil
enough for one feed oncp a day?I boil it
husk and all?rtUrow iq a few ashes and a
little stilt, which they eat very readily ; I
will also occasionally cut off a few green
potato vines and throw to them, which is
a considerable treat By feeding them in
this way, they grow and fatten (t]l the
tiipe. I kill thein about the first of De
cember,
Now I will give you the weight and
average of my hog* for Uie last three
4 years:
In 1854, killed Q8, weight, 21,787, peerage, 2221
M 1865, w 87, " 10,597, ? 226*
? 1866*. " 104, " 25,718, " 248*
These Logs vera about eighteen months
old, uport an average?-none of them over
that age, but bomo a little under.
Now, Mr. Editor, thero are n great many
farmers in this prairie cobntry wbo have to
bny pork or bacon nearly all the time, and
pay upon an average for pork, Q i<2 cents,
bason 10 1-2 cents, which amount to
something worth saving, which cao be doii^,
with a littlo trouble and care, and a few
cotton seed properly managed.
Yours respectfully,'

Wo make ilio following extract from nn
article in tlio Now York Ji'rpress :?
Servant* and masters, children nnd fatlicm,
wives nnd husbands, nro llto organisations
of Boctn\ life?nnd governors, nnd governed,
tlie organization of political life.?
The Apostles Paul,?as well as our Saviour
everywhere and at all times taught subordination
nnd obedience, in each nnd nil of
theso relationships. It is nowhere contended?that
in the eyes of God, tho soul of
the African is not of equal importance to
that of tho whito man,?but depriving the
African of n vote is no more injustice than
depriving tho wife, the mother, the iristet,
the daughtor, or the mnle minor or the
alien. To mankind are given different talents,?for
different purposes,?to some ten
talents, to softe five, to some but one,?thus
" to every man according to his several
abilities," showing the inequality of God's
gifts to man, and the intended inequality of
social and political organizations. It does
not follow then, because we are the children
of one common father, that society
should be of one dead level, and there should
be no servant to obey a master,?no children
to obey a parent,?no wife to be subordinate
to a husband, &c., &c. The ten
and five while talents of society see no right
in the African one talent to govern them,
or to be put on equality with it, and yet tlie
souls of all are enii.il in tliA pvm nf ?
and to whom much is given, of them much
shall be required.
Paul of all the Apostles,?being in tho
midst of the Bond as well as the Free?with
thousands and tens of thousands of slaves
before him?under the Roman Government
where slnvery was ever of the harshest kind
?nevor?never?it must bo remarked, j
preached an Abolition sermon?but on the
contrari', ever, just the reverse.
Wo need not add on |;erfi the celebrated
Epistle of Paul to Philemon?the Christian
Minister residing at Colosse?who owned
tlio fugitive slave Onesimus and whom Paul I
sent back from Rome to his master, at Co*
iuss?. j.'hui nrsi convened Unesunus to
Christianity, and tiia fugitive slave's religion
then caused him to desire to l>e sent back
to his injured master, while Paul pleaded
eloquently for his kind and Christian reception.
To understand what that Slavery was to
which Onesiinus was restored by rani-, we i
must look to the Roman laws of Slavery,
and compare them with the American.?
Philemon?under the Roman Law, could
have put Oncsimus to death. Qnesimus
could not contract a marriage ; Oncsimus
could o%yi\ no properly?but all his acquisitions
belonged to Philemon. A runaway
slave (fugitive) could not lawfully be received
or harbored?to conceal him was
furlum. (Hence, the Apostle obeyed the
law in surrendering the fugitive.) The
master was entitled to punish tlio slave
wheuevcr he pleased, and it was the duty
of all authorities to give Philemon (the
Christian Minister) aid in recovering Oncsimus.

ture in war, as well as by bis mother's
slavery (jure gentium.) (Onesimus may
have been captured in war. The Apostle
does not tell ue.) A free person might become
a slave in various ways, in consequence
of positive law (jure civile.) A free woman,
who cohabited with a slave, might be made
a slave he^elf. Slaves were made of those
who evaded military service. The State
owned slaves (servt jiublici.) Slaves were
obtained through war and commerce. The
century before Christ there were two servile
wars. Athenseus states?that very
many Romans possessed 10,000 and 20,000
slaves; a freedman under Augustus left at
his death 4,116. The games of tbe^mpbi.
theatre required an immense number of
slaves. The Gladiators in Italy, (13. C. 73)
under Spartacus, defeated a Roman Consular
army, and were not subdued till B. C.
71, when 60,000 of them were said to have
fallen in battle. Slaves of great beauty
and rarity were not exhibited to public gaze
111 me common slave market, hut were
shown to purpliaser8 >n private. Slaves
that came from the Bast had thejr ears
bored. Eunuchs (slaves) brought a very
high price ; and Martial speaks of beautiful
boys who sold for as much as 100,000 or
200,000 sesterces each?$4,420 or $8,840
of our money. Literary men and doctors
brought a high price. The offences of
slaves were punished often with barbarity.
Runaway slaves and thieves were branded
on the forehead with a mark (stigma.)?
Slaves were also punished by being hung
up with weights suspended to their feet?
Masters might work their slaves as many
hours in the day as they pleased.

A GARDEN NOVELTY.
Tho Egyptian pen i* nn instanco of vogct^Dlo
rcaurrectlon, or at least resuscitation.
It is n fragment of tlio old lifo of Egypt?
n Irno typo of I ho luxurious fertility of tlio
classic country of tlio Nile, nnd unquestionably
tlio most truly historical of any escu- ,
lent wo possess. Tho circumstances "that
led to tho discovery of ilirs companion yf
mummies nnd inhabitants of pvraminds,
are in themselves as interesting as tlio plant
itself is distinct from every known member
of its useful family. During the ozplorn*
tions of Egypt by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson,
a vase was found in a mummy pit, the ago
of which was computed at about three
thousand years. This vase, herinetrically
scaled, was presented to the Brish Museum ;
Mr. 1'ettigrew, the librarian to the late
Duke of Sessex, proceeded to open the
vase to ascertain its contents, and in so doing
unfortunately broke it in pieces. The
interior contained a mass of dust, and a
few gtains of wheat and vetches, and on
examining further a few peas were found,
entirely shrivelled, of a resin yellow color,
and as hard as stone. It was known that
mummy wheat had been resuscitated after
an interment of fivo thousand years; and
it was determined that the first peas ever
found in a mummy vase should be subjected
to the experiinont of revival. Mr. Pettigrew
accordingly distributed amongst his learned
friends these dessicated peas, reserving three
for himself as mere curiosities. Those who
tried to grow the peas failed, and no more
was thought about them till the remaining

Ilighgate. Mr. (irimstone tried liis Land
at them, subjected them heat and moisture,
and, after {thirty days, one miserable
plant appeared above ground. By patient
caro and ingenious cultuie, this plant was
brought to prodcnco nineteen pods, which
wero ripened and planted the next year;
and thin was the foundation of the stock
which is jnst beginning to be known as the
Egyptain pea. Botanists were as much
delighted as antiquarians at tho speess of
the experiment, for it gave them a new variety
of the greatest value and most distinct
character. Its blossom is unlike every
other pea; it more nearly resembles a bell
than tho wings of a butterfly, and is veined
with green lines on a white ground. Tho
blossoms break at every joint in clusters of

those few shriveled seeds, a palatial benediction.?National

An Unfortunate Habit.?Somo persons
are in the habit of dwelling upon and
greatly magnifying every little injury they
recoive at the hands of others. They thus
render themselves very disagreeable to
those in whose ears they are continually
pouring their complaints ; and at the same
time greatly injure themselves in the estimation
of such, whilst they are contributing
very much to their own personal misery.?
IIow much better would it be, were sucb
persons to bury their little troubles, or at
least to Keep uiem ontirely out of sight I?=
It is to be presumed that they do not sufficiently
reflect upon the true nature of their
'conduct, else they would be more careful
to avoid it than they are. Jamieson forcibly
exposes the groat folly of such conduct
by the following. illustration:?"A man
strikes me with a sword, and inflicts a
wound. Suppose, instead of binding up
the wound, I am showing it to everybody,
and after it has been bound up I am taking
off the bandage continually and examining
the depth of the wound,'and make it fester
till my limb becomes greatly inflamed, and
1 1 1 ?
I nij guuursu neaun is materially aifccted ;
is there a person in the world who would
not call me a fool! Now, such a fool is he,
who by dwelling upon little injuries,.or insults,
or provocations, causes them to agitate
and inflame his mind. How much
better were it to put a bandage over the
wound, and never look at it a^ain."?German
Reformed Messenge.

FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD UV A CAVERN.
IS. O. Hquiroa' liotea on Oentrnl America
describe a wonderful cffuMon 6f n ilufd ronemhling
blood near the to\ynof Vitud, in
t,lio S.t?te of Honduras. It nppcars tlmt
thero U continunlly oozing nn<l dropping
from the roof of a cavern a rod liquid
which upon fulling coagnlaU-a so an to pro
cUely resemble blood. Liko blood it corrupts,
insects deposit tlicir larva: in it; and
dogs and buzzards resort to tbo cavern to
eat it. Attempts have several times been
made to obtain squio of this liquid for the
purpose of analysis, but in all cases without
success, in consequence of its rapiil decomposition,
whereby the bottles containing
it were broken. The small cavern or
grotto during the day is visited by butzards
and hawks, and at night by a multitude of
vampyre bats for the purpose of feeding on
the unnatural blood. It is situated on the
border of a rivulet, which it keeps reddened
?v I via (I Diunii 1IV Wl II1C 11??UIU| WIIIOII llilb
tho color, taste and smell of blood. In approaching
the grotto,disagreeable odor
is observed, nnd when it is. reached tliere
may bo somo pools of the apparent blood
in a state of coagulation Dogs eat it
eagerly. J *
The peculiarities of the liquid are considered
duo to the rapid generation in this
grotto of some very prolific species of infusoria.
The California State Journal, remarking
on the above, observes that the
estero of the town of Monterey contains a
species of blood red infusoria, (the larvaj
of water insects,) which at certain seasons
of tho yo/?r smells precisely like fresh fish,
or, on exposure in a vessel, like putrid fish.
It) some seasons it has been foun<l drieil in
flakes, and of the intense color of Vermillion.
Camphor vs. Strychnine.?The many
eases of suicide and murder by means of
strychnine which have occurred recently in
England, have caused considerable inquiry
respecting the deadly drug in qqestion.?
A Mr. D. Wilson M. R. C. S. E., writes to
the London Times, that camphor is a certain
and sovereign antidote to strychnine. In
his communication he says :
Your impression of this day (February
18) records two more instances of life having
b^en destroyed through the potent
agency of strychnine.
The great importance of an effectual
antidote being made universally known
must be ray excuse for begging a place in
your columns for this brief communication.
In vol. ii., page 554, of the Lancet of
1848, Dr. Pidduck rotates an interesting
recovery from poisoning by strychnine.?
The patient was a weekly man, afflicted
with neauralgic pains, for Which a quarter
of a grain of 'strychnine was taken .by mistake
instead of one-sixteenth of a grain.
jjive grains ot camphor wore administered
in an emulsion, and almost immediately
after taking the dose the spasms
ceased.
Another successful recovery is reported
by Dr. Tewkesbury, of Portland, Maine,
viz: A boy waB seized with convulsions
after eating a biscuit containing one grain
and a lialf, for the purppie df lcilling rats.
The spasms were bo severe t!&t'immediate
death seemed inoviUb.ia.tljpughay the usual
remedies were resorted to* .Capaphor cpuld
not be introduced into the stomach on account
of the locked .jaw. Strong injections,
therefore, of^ camphor were used and the
body immersed in a camphor bath, and in
a few hours the boy was comparatively
well. ?
Young America.?Qp Saturday evening
a little boy not four- years of age, while
going down Broadway, N. Y., was stopped
by a crowd'of men, seated in front of the
Broadway Hotel. One of the company,
who had durinc the Avoninc mnrlfl r^nnnf/wl

M Sonny, <Joes your maraiuy know you're

passed on leaving tbe crowd convulsed with,

The Turkish soldier marches to meet tbe
foe with the same nonchalance as he smokes
his pipe. He is taught from his birth that
the moment of his death is fixed, and that
a whole charge of artillery aimed at his
heart would miss liiiqjf destiny had d&reed
