THIS WORLD OF OTJR8.
This id" a wretched world of ours,
Since the loss of Eden's bowers;
Instead of the lovely Tree of Life,
It yielda ub briars, thorns, and strife.
Tliis is a dreadful world of ours
When the war god on It lowers?
Crushing t' e heart with grief and fears,
Filling sweet homes with bitter tears. This
is a crucl world of ours
When ruled by rude and wicked powers,
vt mo irumpie on me laws 01 aiaie
That thoy themselves niBy elevate.
This is ft changing world of oiirs
Clear to-day?lo-niorrow showers ;
Winter ami Spring. Summer and Fall,
Dirersify this rolling ball.
This is a beautiful world of ours
Clad in green?adorned with flowers;
Ahove, a radiant, starry sky?
Below, rich landscapes greet the eya.
Tliia is a splendid world of ours.?
Seas and plains, and mountain towers;
Forest and field in beauty robed,
All make this world a glorious globe.

TWO WAYS AND TWO ENDS.
Two boys, >vh.o<n JL shall cull James
and Charles, occupied jLbe s^ipo desk
schoo/j anj recited in th.c same class.
JFirst, they studied book keeping, tfocri
navi^atiojo, .then something else, but
nothing pleased tlio indolent Jamo*.
One day thoy were studying surveying,
and James began to mark on his
slate, as ho had done beforo, saying :
fi O dear, 1 am tired of these links
.and chains, and equares and triangles.
What use wiil this ever bj to me?
And besides, I can't understand it."
"I kuow, replied Charlc3, " it is a
hard study, and 1 don't see what use
it will over be to m.o. But my father
,j f* knows more than i do, and bo t*et me
to study surveying, and I am going to
v atudy it, whether it will bo of any uso
) to moor not. And aa for unders anding
it, I novor saw any study I conld
oiot understand if 1 put my mil d to it.
I should be ashamed to bo conquered
I -by links and chains, or any thing elm;
1 find in surveying. You don't
catch mo playing tit a too till m\' lesson

Thus 6at these two boys sitJo* by
.side. Tlio or.cf.tud.ied and tho 'other
played. Tho one always had his lesson
well learned-; the other mi?Rcd ?
or, if ho could do it, he would deceive
his teacher by looking in his book at
recitation. Aid there they formed

took lor his motto, "Business first, and
then pleasure;" and be was always applying
what ho had learned ai tch.ool
to some useful puiposo. ,But James
found business as urej3<>me as his studies.
Ho was always intent on amusing
himself, and instead cf .making
ibis employer's .business, hi4 own, he
- was -always studying how .to do as
little as he could and keep his place,

. wealthy merchan^, owning ships and
' stocks in railroads. lie was.a direc?

But James did not pleiso his employers,
.and never stayed long at one
^place. After a wbilo his father sot

TBIALS OF THE STEAM PLOW.
Public curiosity has been largelyexcited
within a few days by an appearanco
on our thoroughfares of a
cumbrous machine, a etoam engine
drawing a train of plows. This st eam
j plow, jas it is technically known, is an
| invention whi.ch is the property ol
j Messrs. John Fowler & Co., of Jjocds,
England. It has been in uao in the
v;illcy of tjie !Nilo for some time, and
| there, \y.o are assured, is an estab{
lishcd improvement. Messrs. Jjonw?
street, Owen & Co., havo given the
I large influence of their name, as
ngctits, in prcsonling the novelty to
the C'Otiujdcra'Ucn of planters in the
S-uth
Mr. Max Eigtli, f >rmcrl5r chief engineer
on the staff of Pasha Ilahn,
when that pasha held tho vice-royalty
in Egypt, camo with the niachioo to
j superintend experiments macjo with
it. Having witnessed in Egypt the
operations of tho plow, ho is eon;
vii.ei-d that it will bo a9 successful
j hero as it was on the Nile, and yostcri

uu uu iu?; 'iair grounds. A large comI
pan}' witnessed tho trial, atnong whom
j wore feveral gentlemen whoso - occu
{ pation from boyhood has been tbut ol'
| planters.
About two acres were plowed in
the prosencc of the partjr. The earih
was raat.li d with an old gr&wth of
grass. It had been tramped, and besides,
the noil was naturally heavy,
and, by late rains, was unusually wet.
The sod was turnod beautifully to a
ploa-n^n's eye; atap average depih of
ten or twelve inchos. An obstruction
wni) put on the field, and the plow was
guided to avoid tho obstruction with
quite as much facility as if the motive
power was cattle or mules and the
stilts were held by an exacting plow
man. A stump in tho way was torn
up remorselessly. In such matters as
this theory amounts to little, but the
unanimous opinion of the planters on
the ground, all of whom watched tho
operations of the plow with tho deepest
interosjb, was that it was a decided
>ucc<y3s. After the plowing, expep
ineiiAs were made with.tbelocomotive,
paBt-ing .over plowed ground, and
crossing a bridge, with the view of
showing itB adaptability tq plantation

NAPOLEON AND THE .SAILOE BOY."
Io is rclatod that when Napoleon
Bonaparte was encamped with his army
at Boulouguo on tho 13ril;sh Channel,
one of his Bhips captured an
English vessel, among whoso crow
waBa line, sturdy, youug English sailor.
This lad was permitted to wa ?
der about within tho French linos;
and often did ho stand on tho shore
and gaze over the waters of the Channel,
while ho thought upon his homo
in England, and ol his dearly loved
mother. At lenirlh hin lonyinir to cs
capo grow so intense that ho dolor
mined, at all hazard*, to make an attempt.
Oito day, as ho stood nour tho water,
watching tho flight of a number of
birds which took their course towards
England, and vainly wUhed that he
1 could accompany tin 111 in their rapid
flight, he paw ancmp'y hogshead comb
(loat'iig slowly towards the beaeh, impelled
by tho breeze. At onco a
thought that ho could make
?
use of it in forwarding his plans,
look poss? sii(.n of his mind, llo carefully
hid it away and bogan to wot k
from day t-> da}- in forming it into a
I clumsy b,iat. It was a tedious undertaking,
as ho was compelled to u*e
the givutusl precaution t.o avoid attracting
notice or exciting tho suspi
oious of his captor-1.
liut at length, after many weary
days of labor, he saw his boat, such
as it was, finished. It was . an unsightly
craft, untarrc'l, without compass,
k.cel, sail, or rudder. He had
procured from some neighboring trees,
a supply of willow sprouts which he
bad woven around it in' order to
strengthen it. Th.e thought of launch
ui? iui tu 111 Bui'ix u jruu vessel upon
tho stormy sou, way enough to affright
tho boldest sailor who over trod ft
deck. Yet, impollcd by his love of
home and of his mother, ho was about
to. make a 8orious effort in this rude
contrivance to cross the British
(Channel.
Qa a iia''K ai>ii biui'tnj pight, he
managed to get, nis uoat to tlic water's
edgo, and was just about to put
to sea when to bin sore dismay, ho
was caught iir the vory act by a
French guard. Great was the ridicule
heaped upon him by tho soldiers.
as they examined his tub.
Bui at Ieng:?h, by some means or?
other, the story reached tho oars of
Napoleon himself, whoso cariosity
was was exoited, aud who ordered
tho lad and his vessel to bo
both brought into his presence: After
looking at them lor a momont, he
exclaimed,
"Hash young man, you must havo a
sweet-heart, in England, whom you
dearly love, or you would never have
thought of making a voyiigo in such
n. thinif no tliof "
'*1^0, sir," repled tho lud, " I* have
no sweet-heart; but I have a mother
whom I dearjy love,.and whom 1 have
nojtseen for many years. It was my
longing to Bee her that led me to attempt
escaping." " *;'
41 And so you shall boo hor," suid
Napoleon.
Thu9 saj'ing, ho gave the young tar
a piece of g"ld,-and commanded that
\ ho should bo forwarded uudor a flag

THE GOOD FATHER.
The father of a family was detained
in tho metropolis of the kingdom on
important business ; tho mother and

GARDENING FOR WOMEN. I
i There is nothing better for wives !
and daughters, physically, than to j
have tho caro of a garden?a flower

than to spend a portion of every
paasirg da> in working among plants,
and watching tho growth of shrubs,
and trees, and plants, and to observe
the opening of flowers from week to '
work as tho season advances? Thun '
how much it adds to the enjoyment, to ]
know that your own hand* have plan- '
Led and tilled them, and liavo pruned :
and.trained them?this is a pleasure1
that requires neither great riches nor
profound knowledge. The humble
cottage of tho laboring poor, not loss
than their ground*, may bo adorned
with pet plants, which in duo time,
will become redolent of rich perfume,
not less than radiant with beauty ,
thus ministering to tho loyo of the
beautiful in nature. The wife ordaugh
tcr that loves home, and would seek
.tu mako it tlio best place for liusbr.ni|
and brother, is willing to forego some
gossipping morning calls, fur the sake
of having leisure for the cultivation ot
plants, and shrubs, and flowers. ThC

Dr. Camak communicates to the
Southern Cultivator tho following fropa
the "'l'ransactions of tho Southern
Contral Agricultural Society:" ,
Okra belongs to tho family of the
cotton plant, and like cottonl it' is extremely
tonder, consequently will not
bear planting beforo tbo last of Aliircb
or the first of April. It may bo.planted
in drills ilireo feet anart. and as it
' f '
increases in size, thin out to Ihreo feet
in the drills. '$o haye early "Gombo
^ouj)'* the earliest pods should be
saved for seed, but those stalks from
which pods for eatihg aro gathered,
should not be allowed te mature seed.
As fast as the pods bfecome hard and
Unfit for the table cut them- off.* Tbey
will, if left on the, stalk, destroy its
productiveness.' -By keeping them
free from ripening seed-pods, tbey
will yield uptjl frost. Ol&ra, jn good
epilv will ma fie almost i* tree, but it ib
no advantage to have sijch monstrons
stalks, as .it is difficult to gather the
pods, and the roots take up as much.
Douriahment as a .treo, whjefr mostly
goes to the forfldfttion of stalks, with
but little benefit'to tbo pod. Any
soil that will grow cotton will grow

Wink.?Commenting on an articlo
in the Cultivator, the editor of the Macon
Journal and Mesuciu/er says :
The subject ol' grape culture and
wine making lias attracted much attention,
for many yearn in this btate,
and it in timo the question was settled,
as to what grape is the host and most
sure of a profitable result to tho cultivator.
.Not being duly constituted a
judgo on this subject, the writer will
givo his individual opinion. He haB
now vinos of llio white and black
Scuppernong of thirty yoftra of ago,
j Irum soed procured by Scott Gray,
| from North Carolina?also vines from
I other Bourecp. The black is now ox1
toiinivc ly cultivated in Homo sections,
I a.s producing wine of a.bettor or more
j Plrciigth of body than the white, but
' docs not yield an equal quantity of
| juice. There ia a variety of tho black
i but recently como to notice, in tho j
I vicinity of this city, which ripens a |
j month Inter than ai?y oilier. It is of
an ovul form, willi ft thin fckin, vory
juicy, and extremely productive. The
writer would i?ivo it as his view of the
subject, that every other vino might
bo abandoned for Ibo Scuppcrnong,
from Atlanta to the coast, as a mattor
of profit. Tho juico of tho two kinds
has been mingled ia tho making, and
some considered it an improvoment of
tho wino. For this, tho writer obtained
tlio premium at tho last Agricultural
Fair, held at Augusta, ovor

useful and moro universally loved than
the apple. Why every fUrmor in tko
nation has not an apple orchard,
where the trees will grow ata!l, is one
. of the mysteries. Lot every family
lay iu from two to ten or more barrels,
and it will bo to them tho most economical
investment iu- the whole
range of culinarios.
A raw mellow opplo is digested in
an hour and a half; while boiled cabbage
requires five hours. -Tho most
UuaiLUiui assort wmcu can bo placed
on tho table, is a baked applo. If ta
icon ircciy ul broaiilast with ooarso
bread and butter, without moat or
<
flesh of any kind, it has an admirable
effect on the general system, often removing
constipation, correcting aciditics,
and cooling off febrile"conditions,
moro effectually than tho moat approvod
medicines.
If lamilies could bo induced to substitute
the apple, sound, ripo and luscious,
for tho pies, c;ikes,candios, and
other sweetmeats with which their
children are too often indiscreetly stuffed,
thero would bo a dimunition in
tho sum total of .doctor's bills in a single
year, sufficient to lay in a stock of
ibis delicious fruit for a whole season's
use.?Hall's Journal.
Sei/ectino a Cow?It is sometimes
tho C'igo that tho best judges will
bo decoived. A cow of very unpromising
appoaranco, coarso in tho neck,
largo boned, and socond or third-rate
jnilk marks generally, will, now and
iben, turn out to be first-rato,- while
another . with those - mai-ks largely
dovelopcd, fino in tho boad and flock,
and promising every way, will provo1
unSatisfuotory. But a failure in .this
case is rare^ Let tho hoad be light,
tbo forehead broad, tbe. hern ratber
_ tbtn and. clear, the eye clear and prominent,
tbe neck tbio, and?th? fore-quar*
.tera ratber light, -the back straight,
tbe kindjqtt&rlers well dovelopcd, wide
over tbe -loins, tho oaroaso deep, tbe
uddgr coming forward and well shaped,
tbo Bkip soft to the touch, the toats
well sot, not too large tiOf too small,
tbo tail long andt tbio, like a whip-lash.

IIeadqr's 2d Military District,
Charleston, April 11, 1867.
General Orders No. 10.
Tbo gonoral destitution prevailing
among tbo population of this MilitaryDistrict
cannot bo reliovod without
fl fFi i n cr m nono ^ah 41?a -i
1V1 UiVJ UU V UlUplUClib
of tboir industrial resources. The n?turo
and oxtont of the destitution demand
extraordinary measures. Tlio
people are borne down by a heavy
burden of dobt; the crops of grain and
garden produce failed last year; many
families have been doprived of shelter;
many more need food and clothing j
needful implements and auxiliaries of
husbandry aro very scarce; tho labor*
ing population in numerous localities
aro threatened with starvation, unless
supplied with food by the Government
of the United States; the inability of
a large portion of tho people to pay
taxes leaves the local authorities with*
out adequate moans oi relief; and tho
gravity of tho situation is increased by
tho general disposition shown by creditors
to enforce upon an impoverished
-pooplo the immediate collection of all
claims.
To suffer all this to go on without
restraint or reraody. is to sacrifice tho
general good. The rights of creditors
shall be respected; but the appeal of
want and suffering must be hooded.-?
fllovod by these considerations, the
following regulations are' announced :
They will continue in force, with such
modifications bb the occasion may require,
until the civil government of
the respective States Bhall bo cstabfished
in accordance with the requirements
of the Government of the United
States.
Th? Hommanding General earnestly
desires and confidently believes that'
tho observance of these regulations,
and tho co-operation of all persons
concerned in employing fairly and justly
tho advantages still remaining to
them, will mitigate the distress now
existing; and that tho avenues of industry,
enterprise, and organizatira
thus opened, will contribute to 1 he
permanent welfare and future happiness
of the people.
I. Imprisonment for tho debt ia
prohibited; unless the defendant in
execution shall be convicted of fraud*
ulent concealment or 'disposition of
bis property, with intent to hinder
delay and prevent the creditor ;
recovory of his debt or demand. And
the prceedings now established in?->
North and South Carolina, respectively,
for the trial and determination of
such questions, may be adopted.' v
II. Judgments or decrees for the
