BEWARE OF TEMPTATION, OR. Honesty the Best PolicyIt was six o'clock in tlio afternoon. At this timo the great wholesale warehouse ot Messrs. llubbard & Son was wont to close, unless the pressure of business compelled the partners to keop open until ialnr. Tiio rintm nf r?l,?c.inr? usually devolved upon Edward Jones, a boy of fourteen, who find lately been engaged to perform a few light duties, for which lie received the sum of fifty dollars annually. IIo was the44 boy," but if lie behaved himself so as to win the approbation of his employers, his chance of promotion was good. Yet there were some things that that rendered this small salary a hard trial to him?circumstances with which his employers wero not acquainted. His mother was a widow. The sudden death of Mr. Jones had thrown the entire family upon their own resources, and they wero indeed but slender. There was an older sister who assisted her mother to sew, and this with Edward's salary, constitnted the ontiro incomo of tho family. Yet, by meausof untiring industry, they had contrived thus far to live, using strict economy, of course Yet they had wanted none of the absolnto necessities of life. Bat Mary Jones, Edward's sister, grew sick. She had taken a severe oold, which hod terminated in a fever. This not only cut off the income arising from her own labor, but also prevented her moth or iruui nccuminuiuiiig tut iiiucii ua she would otlierwise bave been able to do. On tlie morning ot tho day on which onr atory commences Mary bad expressed a longing for an oratigo. In her fever it wonld buve been grateful to Iter. It is hard indeed when we are obliged to deny to those we love what would be a refreshment and a benefit to them. Mrs. Jones felt this, and so did Edward. u I onlv wish that I could boy yon one, Mary," said Edward, just as he set ont for the store. 44 Next year I shall receive a larger salary, and then we wont have to pinch so much." " Never mind, Edward," said Mary, smiling faintly, UI ought not to have asked for it knowing how hard yon and mother lad it to get akmg without me." 'Don't trouble yourself about that, Mary," said Mrs. Jones, soothing^ though her heart sank within her at tfie thonght of her empty larder. u Only got well, and we halh^et along well enough afterIt wae with (be memory of this scene that Edward went to the store in the morning.

Portions of our uppor country ?the northern counties of South Carolina and Georgia and Western North Carolina and East Tennessee for instance?are admirably adapted to the profitable cultivation of the' Irish potatoe. On the Sea Islands and in tho coast region also, we have in some localities suitable soils for their growth, but our prevailing sandy lands and hot, dry climate, cannot be considered naturally best fitted for this crop. It rcqn res moisture and coolness. To succeed,, therefore, on light, sandy soils, we must seek artificially to produce these condi tions to sneli an extent as is practicable. We should first dig into the soil, (which should alrondy be rich from previous manuring.) a large quantity of vegetable mat| ter?sv* amp-muck, soil from the woods, decayed leaves and garden I ofuse : then?an important nointr ?give it ft good dressing of wood ashes, And finally plant early, so as to give tlio crop the advantage of tho most favorable part of the seftson to mature. In our modes of planting and cultivation, we should al6o have tho same princi* plo in view. Plant (in January or February) in deep furrows or trenches about tlireo foot apart, first scattering into them some half rotted straw or other litter from tlio stables, lot or elsewhere. Place the sets about eight inches apart in the trenches, and scatter some well-rotted stable I manure over them. A slight dressing is best if tho ground be already rich. Too much animal manure injures the quality of the tubers, though, under favorable circumstances, it may increaso the quantity. Your trenches should be so deep, that when the sets are sufficiently covered, the snrface will be below the general level, that tho plants may get tho full benefit ot* nil the rain'that may fall near tliein. After the plants come np, hoe them well; and when there is no longer any danger of frost, mulch the whole natch heavily with u pine straw, leaves or some othor suitable material, to keep the roots cool and retain tlic m .nature. Directly after a rain, is the best time to apply the mulch. We wait till the fro6ts are ovor, because the evaporation irom the damp mulch lowers the tompera-1 tore so mnch a9 to render the plants more liable to be cut down, if the mulch cannot be obtained, keep the ground frco from weeds by shallow level culture tilT the I vines cover the ground. Dig as yon require the tubers for use; but if the ground bo not mulched, your crop will totally disntq ear? especially if planted In sandy soil'? as soon as summer comes on, all rotting in tho ground. The choice of varieties is a very important matter here?much more so than ai uie r*oi tu?many kinds prov ing utterly worthless with ns. The Mercer and Western Red have been favorites, but are being discarded in favor oi newer sorts, among which Jackson Whit e, Early Goodrich and Early Rose inav be mentioned as well tested and shown to be adapted to our climate. "The difficulty of keeping our early crop through the summer, renders it necessary for ns to procure seed potatoes from a cooler climate, and they are nsually bought at the North, and sometimes at a very high 'price. Our mountain region slionld furnish them in abundance at a lower rate, and with no liability to get frozen on their way.

In getting in, however, her linger was caught by tbo door, wUicb shutting upon it, jammed it terribly, an(i held it so fust rhat she could not withdraw it. She uttered no cry, made no movement; her pain and agony must have been intense. There was the finger crushed between the panels; to speak or to endeavor to withdraw it would disturb her lord?would drive the I figures and arguments from his head. So there stayed the finger, every momont more painful, until, they readied the 1Iou6c; nor did Disraeli bear a word of it till long after tho famous debato of that night had become history. All that evoning the faithful wife sat in tho gallery, that her husband's quick glancing eye night not miss her from it; she bore tho pain like a martyr, and like a woman who loves.

If wo mistako not, e ho jstands well among tlio white ti people of Charleston. The mem- v hers of the Legislature from Edge t field invited him hither to make a li speech. JIu made his appearance e on Saturday hist, and addreseod ii he people, mostly negroes, from q ho Court House portico. The meet- o ng was cdled to order and pre t sided over bv Philip Eichelberger, t A'ho, like Daddy Cain, is also e known to famo. As a presiding f officer, Phil, is neither steady, flu- c cnt, nor graceful. All his little announcements, statements and in- i troductions are hastily concluded c with a convulsive snap, as if he t wished to snap hiiAself and his do- I hided tpllowcrs out of the free air 1 of heaven into the murky shades t of the more congenial Club House, li While not in active duty as Chair- ? man, he eits in feariul ryid ponder- a ous stillness, as if his mighty mind a were evolving gigantic proposi- u tions from the profundity of its mysterious self. t Cain's sjiccch was such a \ one as entitles him to the respect j of all colors and all parties. It i was full ot good sense, good feel- t ing and good advice. And it was t moreover, well delivered and in c excellent English. Unlike the " great mass ot radical speakt rs, he r saia not u word to mislead the ne- i\ grocs ami array tlicm in rcvcngful spirit against the:r former masters and tho white race generally, lie said a good deal upon many topics . of tho day. calculated to enlighten i them, lie strongly advised them j not to expect land from tho Gov- j eminent; and assured them the j only feasible way to get land, was j to work and pay for it. Nor did he . toll them to demand $2 per day as wages, and do, for the same, about g ten cents' worth ot work. At the conclusion of Cain's , speech, which gave much pleasure < to white and black, and had a decidedly good influence upon both,a , motion was made that a committee . be appointed to wait upon gentle- | men of " the opposite party " and fi invite them to address the audi- i cnce also. This committee waited ( upon Gen*. Gary and Butler ; and, { as Gen. Butler remarked, in his j brief speech, made their request ? in such fair terms a- d generous ' spirit, that they (tho gentlemen aforesaid) could not rcfuso to meet them half way, and consent to ad < dress them. Gen. Butler endorsed and reite- , rated the ainicublo sentiments of ? Cain, and said that ho was glad to bo enabled once more to raise his voice in affairs concerning the wel mrc 01 ma own jdistrict. 11 is re- i marks were brief, but wiso and < well-timed. j Gen. < Jary followed, in the 6nme I spirit, but did not conclude with- I out painting to the nudicnco a pic- I turo of carpetbaggers and scalawags which was at once truthful, i scathing and amusing. The i?ccroca seemed to relish it decided- , jv. Pity they would not heed General G.'s warning. Tho chair man, however, did not relish this i part of tl o show at least, as was evinced by his pantomimic snaps i and jorks. After tluec cheers tor tho different speakers, the meeting adjourned.

' ' '' I The Printing OAoe is a School. For a young man who is not altgcther a fool, who has had the Jvantages of an ordinary educaon, the printing office is undoubtedly a capital school for intollectuI advancement. In regard to eneral knowledge, no class who ibor for a living can approach the * rinter. The stndions among tfrertt, ' tlieir natural gifts be not below 10 level of mediocrity, have equal kances with the members of the o called professions, to acquire oth worldly honors* and litorary line. From the days of Caxtou ) those ol Franklin, and from his ays to our own, the craft has prouced eminent men iu profession nd every walk of life. A printer is generally a critiq, lot only of language and punctuaion, but of the intrinsic literary nerifs of whatever eorr?<??* nnder lis hand. It is impossible that ho hould be otherwise, since so great i part of his life is made np, as it rero, of facts that onforce rcflecion. The labor that employs his mnds gives his mind neither ex-. rcise nor care. Dis fingers move ntuitivcly to the exact points re[iiisito for the proper appointment f his work, while his mind seizes lie idea sought to be conveyed by he writer whose work he is engagd on, and is only expelled thereroni after his judgment has passd sentence upon its merits. Many a one, without knowing t, possibly owes some nnknown lornpositor or proof rcador much nore reputation as a writer than ic would bo willing to acknovtfedgc. If by changing of a sen encc without affecting its meanin ic can give its meaning, ho can ,ive it strength or smoothness, as , good printer asks no questions bout the master but changes it at >nco. There arc some printers, it is me, who can never learn the daiuest rule of composition or lunctuation. To snch a one might ve use the identical words spoken >y a well known di\ ino, speaking 0 a young, but particularly silly andidate for ministerial orders : 1 Young man, you have mado a nistako; you have been called to mother?the cornfield." -< ??
