Keep Good Natured.
Your Friend,
CO-A-COO-CHEE,
Iton 1Torch 1914

Good nature is a gem which always shines
brightly in whatever ground it is set 1t cheers the
darkness of misfortune and warns the heart that
is callous and cold In social life, who has not
seen and felt its charming influences? Ifyou want
to be happy yourself and make every body else
happy, be good natured. DON'T let little matters
rile and ruffie you. Nobody gains anything by be-
ing cross and grabbed. A friend has injured you
the world goes hard-you want employment,
but can'tsget it-or you can't get your honest dues
or the fire has consumed or The water has swal-
lowed up the fruits of many years of hard labor
or your merits are overlooked, or your faults mag
nifed-or enemies have traduced, or friends have
deceived. Never mind: don't get mad with any
body don't curse the world any of its creatures
keep good natsued, and our word for it, it will all
come right. The soft south wind and genial sun
are not more efIectual in clothing earth with the
green grass and sweet flowers of spring, than is
good nature in adorning the hearts and lives of
men and auomen too, with blossoms of kindness and
Affections and those flowers of virtue whose fra
GRANGE goes up to heaven.
To be good naturcd, it is not necessary to sub
nit to imposition or insult: but it will generally
be found that man who will resort to such means
is coward, and not worth noticing in any way,
unless it be to laugh at his Inconsistencies. The
good natured man is generally brave, generous,

Story for Children.

A farmer brought FIVE peaches from the city; the
finest that were TO be found But this was the first
time that the children had seen any fruit of the
kind. So they admired and greatly reioiced over
the beautiful peaches, with the red cheeks and soft
pulps. The father gave one to each of his four
sons and the fifth to their mother
In the evening, as the children were about to
retire to sleep, the father inquired, "Wel, boys,
how did the peaches taste?"
Excellent, dear father" said the eldest g it is
a beautiful fruit, so juicy an so pleasant, have
carefully preserved the stone, and will cultivate a
tree for myself"
"Well DONE" said the farmer; tits husbandry to
provide tor the future; and is becoming to far
mer."
81 ate mine," exclaimed the youngest, land
threw away the stone, and mother gave me half OF
hers. o, that tasted SO sweet and melted IN my
mouth.''
"You," said the father, shave not acted very
prudently, but in natural manner. There is still
time in your life to practice WISDOM"
The second began, 81 picked up the stone which
my little brother threw away, and cracked it open
it contained kernel that tasted like a nut. An(
my peach sold, and got for it money enough tt
to buy twelve when | go to the city,,
The farmer patted him on the head saying
that was indeed prudent, but it was not natural TO
child. May heaven preserve you from being
merchant"
"And you Edmund" enquired the farmer.
Frankly and generously Edmund replied, I"
carried my peach to George, the son of our neigh
Dor, who is sick of a fever He refused to take il
but laid it on the bed and came away"
Now said the father, "who has made tn
best use of his peach?'
All exclaimed &c brother Edmund"
But Edmund was silent, and his mother embrac
ed him with tear standing in his eye.

STATES Ev1DENcE.-A good story is told of
George White, notorious thief, in Worcester
county. He was once arraigned for horse stealing,
when it was supposed that he was connected with
an extensive gang, which was laying contributions
upon all the stables round about. Many induce
ments were held out to White, to reveal the names
of his associates but he maintained logged 81
lence. An assurance from the court was at last
obtained, that he should be discharged, upon
which he made oath to reveal all he knew Of his
accomplces. The jury were accordingly suffered
to bring IN verdict of mot guilty." when he was
called upon for the promised revelations. 4 shall
be faithful to my word, said he; understand then

CULTURE OF THE CUCUMBER.

Twill state fact relative to the planting ofcu-
cumbers which came under my observation, and
which is worthy of being known. shall at least
give a further trial myself of its reality; though
cannot conceive there is a doubt remaining GU the
subject. Last spring friend of mine and myself
were planting cucumbers at the same time. was
planting mine as usual in gardens, by mixing a
small portion Of stable manure with the earth, and
raising the hill an inch or two above the surface Of
the ground. Observing is, he jocosely remarked,
Let me show you how to raise cucumbers.' Never
having much luck in raising them, cheertully a.
greed to his proposition. He commenced by ma
king holes in the earth, at the distance intended for
the hills, that would hold about peck-he then
filed them with dry leached ashes, covering the
ashes with small quantity Of earth. The seed
were then planted on a level with the surface of the
of the ground. was willing to see the experiment
tried but had no expectation of anything but a
loss of seed, labor and soil. And imagine my as
constituent, Notwithstanding drier season never
was known, and almost universal failure of garder
vegetabes,) when beheld the vines remarkably
thrifty and as fine crop of cucumbers as any one
need wish to raise, and continued to bear for Ions
E time, unusually so in fact. Twill not philosophers
or moralize on this subject, but say to all, try it
and ms cad of throwing yonr ashes in useless
: heap to stumble over, near your door, put it t.
its proper use, and reap your rich reward Oht

March SOth, published at Van Buren, Ark, has
the following:
On the 22d inst inst, Mrs. Steward, Of our
county, and her niece, a young girl, were fording
Frog Bayou, near this town, on one horse, the
stream being high and very rapid, in company
with her daughter a young lady, who was. riding
another horse. While in the act of fording the
stream, Mrs S. and her niece were thrown, and
the little girl foated down the stream some fifty
yards. The daughter, who was riding alone, very
coolIy rode out to the opposite bank, sprung from
her horse into the stream, and swan after and res
cued them both, bearing them safely to the shore
She was compelled to swim nearly fifty yards after

Think of Death,

In your mirth, in your vain delights, and vain a
musements, think Of death. When ambition be-
comes the ruling passion think of DEATH When
tempted to crafty the evil propensities of the
heart, think ofdeath. When you defer religion for
the present, think Of DEATH. When you reflect up

perceive that writer in the last Register COM
plains sadly of the appearance of the people in ma
nv of our churches on the Sabbath. Some are
listIess some stupid, and some fast asleep. For
myself | do not wonder that the congregation feel
like sleep, and the preacher like despair, within
the walls of not a few houses of public worship.
The truth is, people are complained OF for dong
what they scarcely help, any more than a
mouse can help dying within an exhausted receV-
err. Can we expect the brain to do its duty, when
we let nothing but venus blood, as lifeless pop
by juice go up there to keep the nerve-strings in
action?-Just consider the condition of the major
| ity of our churches on the Sabbath. Soon after
the congregation have left for the day, the house
is shut up and there is shut up in it, the atmos-
phere which has been hereft Alarge portion of
its vitality, by The many lungs that have been suck
ing it out for hours. These deoXygenated, I'M
| healthy remains, continue growing more corrupt
till the next Sabbath morning, two hours-and
more generally, it is probable, one hour-before
the assembage of the worshppers. If proof is
wantinga just go within the doors at the first open
ing and see, or rather smell and feel. Is the ee-
ment of life now let in from the great, pure temple
of nature, through all possible avenues? BY no
means. The doors are set open II may be-and
