From tk* Home Journal. Tales of tha South. ST A SOUTHERN MAN.? CANINK 8 AQACITT. A friend of mine, William P. Gould, Esq., of Greene county, Alabama, owned, many years ago, a Newfoundland dog, of remarkable size and beauty. Carlo, for that was bia cognomen, posseting an uncommon share of the docility sagacity, and adhesive attachment for persons characteristic of bis race, was of course, a primo favorite with bis roaster and the family. His usual places of resort were the yard and lots immediately around the family residence. 13e- 1 yond the*e he seldom strayed, either in the purvuit of game or to follow a nersnn ho liked. His muster went ohe day into the woods, near the house, to shoot squirrels. Carlo, impelled by uncommon frenk of playfulness or affection, followed him, but kept some distance in the rear, as if conscious that, I being uninvited, be came unwelcome to the sport. A few caressing words and pats upon the bead sufficed to restore his confidence, and he trotted along close upon the beelsof bis roaster, stopping when he did, but nerer venturing to circle through the woods in quest of game. A large fox squirrel ran up a tree closc by the sportsman who levelled his gun and hot it dead. The noise which it made in falling upon the dry leaves attracted the attention of Carlo, who rushed forward, seized the carcass, and began to shako and 1 rend it with great violence. The voice of | Lis master commanding hira to put it down was unheeded. The destructive instincts of the dog triumphed over his habit of prompt obedience, and ho tore tho squirrel into fragments and scattered them upon the ground at tho base of tho tree. Irritated at the disobedience of his favorite, the sportsman whipped him severely with a branch which he tore from a bush, holding him by the leather collar which was fastened round his neck. The dog howled most piteously during the infliction of tho punishment, and ran back home tho moment he was released. It was quickly noticed by tho family that some great change had come over the gay andfrolicaome Carlo. Ho discontinued his almost constant visits to the house to receive Til-- r-?m- w.. ? VI me utlllliy. WUI1 llfOOping head and tail, and, most rueful expression of face, he glided mournfully about the premises, and, when called, especially by his master,, would hasten to hide himself from view.in some covert place about the yard. He showed, by his actions as plainly as words could have spoken it, that he felt himself to be deeply in disgrace. As he persistently rejected all overtures of reconciliation made by his master, tho affair teemed to be as incapable of adjustment, as it was of explanation, between the offending and offended party. After several days spent in ?this way, Carlo disappeared, and was not to be found anywhere upon the premises. Could it be possible that he had gone involuntary exile to atone for his fault? Or had lie, imitating the folly of lordly man, made way with bis own life, to cancel bis disgrace and escape the taunts of bis fellow dogs? There was no end to tbe conjecture in th$.. family a to the cause of his disappearance, and no end to the search for his retreat. But he came not to the accustomed call, and there was neither footprint nor sign to tell whither be bad gone. In the evening of the second day of bis absence bis master was seated in the front piazza of tbe family mansion, engaged in reading, when Carlo suddenly walked in with a large fox squirrel in his mouth. Go-1 log siraignt up to Ins master, he deposited the carcass at bis feet; be looked up into bis face, and gave a few short yelps, waggittg his tail all the time, and looking the cry picture of canine content and delight. The squirrel b&d evidently just been killed, as the body teas still warm, and allowed unmistakable signs that life had been extinguished ^by the pressure of teeth and clawp. at once recoverei his cheerfulness and returned--bis former habits. He had erred, repented and atoned for bis offence, and remained ever after to the end of bis 4*7* a privileged favorite in the family of Abe owner.

Toward* the close of his life Watt wns distressed by the apprehension that his mental faculties were deserting him, and remarked to Dr. Darwin: "Of all the evils of age, the loss of the few mental faculties ono possessed in youth is the most greivous." To test his memory, he again commenced the study of German, which he had allowed himself to forget; and speedily acquired such proficiency as to enable him to read tho ianguago with comparative ease. But he gave a stronger evidence of the integrity of his powers. When iu his seventy-fifth year, he was consulted by a company at Glasgow, as to the mode of conveying water from a peninsula across the Clyde to the uumpnny a engines at Ualrtlarnock, a difficulty wiiic.li appeared in them almost insurmountable, the plan suggested by Watt proved that his remarkable ingenuity remained unimpaired by age. It was necessary to fit the pipes through which the water passed to the uneven and shifting bed of the river; and Watt taking the tail of the lobster for his model, forwarded a plan of n tube of iron similarly articulated, which was executed and laid down with complete success. A few years later, when close upon his eightieth year, the aged mechanician formed one of n party assembled in Edinburgh, at which Sir Walter Scott was present. Ilo delighted the northern literati with his kindly cheerfulness, not less than ho astonished them by the extent and profundity of his information. "The alert, kind, and benenevlent old man." shvs Scott, "lmd bin nii?n tion alive to every one's question?his infor' mnlion nt every one's command. Ilis talI ents and fancy overflowed on every subject. One gentleman was a deep pliilolugist?Iio ! talked with him on the origin of the alpha- 1 bet, as if he had been coeval with Cadmus; another, a celebrated critic?you would have j said tho old man had studied political economy belles-lettres all his life ; of science it is unnecessary lo speak?it was his own distinguished walk." The vast extent of his 1 knowledge was remarked by all who came in contact with him. "It seemed," said Jef- ' frev. "as if every subject that was casually ' started, had been that which ho had been accupied in studying." Yet, though no ' man was more ready to communicate knowl- ! edge, none could bo less ambitious of His- ! playing it. _ ' "lie was," says Mrs. Shimmel-Pennick, in tlio vivid portrait she has drawn of him in 1 her autobiography, "one of the most com- 1 plete specimens of the melancholic temper- J ament. His head was generally bent forward or leaning on his hand in meditation, ' his Bhoulders stooping and his chest falling ! in, his limbs lank and unmuscular, and his complexion 6allow. His utterance was slow and uniinpassioned, deep and low in tone, 1 with a broad Scottish accent; his manners gentle, modest and unassuming. In a company where he was not known, unless spoken to, he might have tranquilly passed the t whole time in pursuing his own meditations, j WI.Oll l,o -< .. .IV <ihi?ii;u n ivkiii, men ul ICllurs, ^ men of scincc, nay, millitary men, artists, . ladies, even litllo childen thronged around 1 him.

Washington's vis- I it to Salem, Mass., during his second Presi- t dential term. At that place, as at every other along his journey, ho was received with the liveliest demonstrations of rejoicing. I Magnificent preparations were made for bis reception at salem. From a great distance around, all the people came to welcome the p Father of his country. The military were in full force, and put on their most martial airs. The aoldtorr-of the Revolution made tneir appearance in large numbers to meet 0 their old commander. All the women And children of Salem and the region round about were collected together to add to the a importancwand grandeur of the reception. Ik A committee of reception was appointed, /< one of iU mejpbere, who chanced to be a Quaker, was selected to act as spokesman for the occasion. u A great speech was perhaps expected for b so great a.) occasion, a long speech exhibiting thoir distinguished visitant as immeasurably "above all Greek, above all Roman n fame." t< Well, at the appointed time Washington v rode up to thfetow.n,' where he was thus addressed by ttn&pokesman of the' reception AAmmitloA f, "Friend Washington, we arc glad to see u thee, and in tbe tame of the. people, we give 9 thee.ft hearty welootfte to 8nfem.w Thtf wept the entire speech of tbe Quaker orfttor, sod Washington Mid H was more ^ grateful to bim than any with, which he J had been b#&te& 6tt Wtfjourney. 9 \^ouW w^ the ipeake^ and writtrt of 0 oaf dftyoonsplt the wilfattairif'filtererta of wellpnbHe generally, by ft oloeer ap* t? | ildJfcslTiin IftQuaker like, brcfitjr,aj|jjjpHc- *t Uyifci riHttriffi ' *7^ When and how to apply Manure. If we consult nature?taking lier processes as our guide?we shall see her vegetable fertilizers applied in the fall?and Ihere can be no better evidence that this is a most favorable timo for manuring the soil. Circumstances, it is true, may reuder it advisable to vary from this time, and it is one of the objects of the farmer's study to bo able to modify natural laws, and to choose in some cases, convenience as his guide. The more perfectly, however, he understands Nature the better he can command her, but generally the closer will be his obedience to her teachings. Nature makes no mistakes?she never practices false economy?all progress is by due obe-1! . t uiunco 10 ner laws. Tli^ application of manure in autumn pre-supposes that it lias become partially decomposed during the summer, and that it will become well rotted by the following spring, wben needed by plants upon the resumption or commencement of their growth. It is thus ready for their use, and this is one material advantage of applying manure in autumn. Another advantage is, that this decomposition has reduced its bulk without deteriorating its value, (if properly carried on) rendering its tiansportation less expensive, while at tho same time, the team and tho roads are in better condition for the woik. The summer season, too, has afforded time for composting the stores of the barn yard with muck and other vegetable matter, thus increasing largely the amount and valuo of both classess of material?an imnortant ohient fr? to the farmer. Nature, if asked the question, "How shall wo apply manure ?" answers, u On tbe surface." She has no operation analogous to plowing?and while we may think we have improved upon her methods?as we undoubtedly have in this and other respects, we still may learn wisdom for the example. In applying manuru to sward land in the sail, let it be spread up on the nirface?the growing grass will keep it in place, will keep it moist, and will gradually work its decomposition. When we would plow in tlio spring, it is in the right state ?nd position for our use?for the use of the succeeding crop?and practice proves this lo be one of the best method of manuring sward for any crop. In applying manure an stubble land, it would be well to cover it immediately with the gang-plow or cultivator, incorporating it as thoroughly as may be with the surface soil. In spring, before sowing, let the land be plowed to n proper Jepth for the crop applied, and the result lias been in the cases in which trial has jeen made?a better crop than from maniring in the spring in the usual mannner. ?

"I don't know," aid she, with a pouting lip, "unless it is be:auao I am sitting beside a goose." Nature has not conferred upon us n reponsible existence, without giving us, at the iame time, the strength, rightly exerted, to neform its duties. The Hod. J. J. McRea, in his eulogy on 3eneral Quitman in the House of Represenatives, on the 5th inst., stated that he "fell l victim to the National Hotel disease, sbich had proved so fatal to so mcny disincuishd men." This was the belief c,f General Quitman himself.
