sKind words, !, continued the friend. are
like The gentle rain and refreshing dews; /;
but harsh. words bend and break, like the
angry tempest. They first develops. and
strengthen good affections, while the Others
sweep over the heart in devastation, and
mar aud deform all they touch. Try him
with kind words; they will prove hundred
fold moro powerful"
The father seemed hurt by the reproof,
but il lett him thoughtful. An hour passed
sway ere his son returned. At times during
his absence he was angry at IT,, delay, and
meditated the infiction of punishment. But
the words Of remonstrance were in his ears,
and he resolved TO obey them. At last, the
lad came slowly in, with clouded counten-
ance, and reported the result of his GRAND.
Having stayed far beyond his time, he looked
for punishment, and was prepared to receive
it with an angry defiance. To his surprise,
after delivering his message he had brought,
his father, instead Of angry reproof and pun
ishment, said kindly.
avery we'll, my son, you can 60 and play
again r.
The boy went out, but he was not happy.
He had disobeyed and disobliged father,
and the thought of this troubled him.
Harsh words had not clouded his mind nor
aroused spirit Of reckless anger. Instead
ofjoining his companions, he went and set
down by himself, grieving over disobedience.
As he thus sat, he heard his name called.
He listened.
"Thomas, my son." said his father, kind
ly. The boy sprang to his feet, and was
almost instantly beside his father.
"Did you call, father :"
al did my son. viii you take this pack
age to Mr.. Long for me T.
/. There was no hesitation in the boys
manner. He looked pleased at the thought
of doing his father n service, and reached
his hand for the package. On reaching
il, he bounded away with light step.
"There is power in Kindness" said the
father, as he sat musing after the lads de-
parture. And, even while he musing sat
over the incident, the boy came back, with
a cheerful, happy face, and said
sCanI do anything else for you, IA
ther |" .......r
Yes, there is power in kindness. The
tempest ofpassion can only subdue, constrain
and break but in love and gcntlcness.t there
is the power Of the summer rain, the dew of
the sunshine.

A Bold Boy and q Coward.


Two boys were one day going home from
school when on turning a corner of a street,
the biggest Of the two called out, "A fight! !
a fight! let US go and see."
NO." said the other, "let us 70 home /;
we have nothing to do with the quarrel, and
may get iuto mischief"
you are coward and sfraid to CO." said
.ac ...c cc.her and offhe ran.
The youngest went straight home, and in
the afternoon went TO school as usual. when
the boys laughed Mt him a great deal for not
going to the fight. But he had learned that
true courage was shown most in. barring
blame when II is not deserved, and that he
ought to be afraid of.hothing but sin. a.
A few days after, these boys were all bath
ing, when one Of them got into deep water,
and began to drown. The boys were all
afraid to go near him, and got cut of the
water as fast rs they could. The lad
would very soon have heen last, had nes
the hoy Wild would not go to the neht.
and bad been laughed at by them a. a
coward, just then come up. He at once
threw OF his clothes, and springing into the
wster,just reached the sinking boy In time
and by great effort brought him to shore
The other boys were an now much ashamed
and confessed he had more courage then any
Of them.

Culture Of Corn.


AS the time for planting corn Is now at
hand, and as all know our country has
seldom, if ever, been in worse fix for provis-
ions, thinkit behooves every planter to put
forth all the energyand skill he may possess
to try once more to fill up the empty corn
houses that present themselves at every
plantation We have any knowledge Of
have concluded to give to your readers
my plan Of planting and cultivating corn,
(provided you think it worth place in your
paper.) My field of operations has been in
Middle Georgia, and for the last twenty-one
years in Monroe county, in the red, stiff, hilly
lands.
AS all of urhilly land should be planted
in drills, l shall say nothing about corn in the
hill or check.
l commence by running rows on our
average quality lands, about six feet wide
this should be done with coulter plow
put in as deep as a strong mule can pull !;
following in the same furrow with common
sized shovel. Drop the corn two feet apart a
good guide is the track of the plowman ;
following with cotton seed that have been
heated just enough to prevent them from
sprouting putting in the drill abut three
times as many as you would sow for the
purpose of planting to get stand of cotton; !;
following with coulter, running one furrow
on each side ;ths will cover the corn lust
deep enough without scraping off, Plow.
out the middle as you plant, breaking them
very deep with good square pointed scooter
or coulter. So soon as the corn has some
four blades, run the coulters round as close
and deep as possible-following with hoes,
thinning out to one stalk, and putting fresh
dirt to the little corn. The middle now should
be plowed with small shovels or large scoot-
els, according to the condition and kind of
land. In about twenty days give another
good plowing-leaving the last or middle
furrow. The ridge should be split by the
best plowers-at the same time drilling nv
peas in this furrow; following blythe best
plowers One furrow will be sufficient 10
cover the peas. This mJde Of planting peas
will insure good crop nine yearsout of ten.
In abou' the same length oftime as before,
give your last blowing. This should be
done ligtly, running three burrows on either
side of the peas; be sure to follow the plows
this time with the hoes-drawing up fresh
dirt to the corn, and cutting oua every thing
except corn and peas.
BY this mode of planting and culture,
have seldom failed to make corn and peas.
As you discover, am quite an advocate for
the use Of the coulter on stiff lands. .r
Hoping that the Soil of the South may
be the means of much improvement In
agriculture in Georgia, will trouble you no
further at present.-!SoH Of the South.

FATHERS and MOTHERS,
The Power Of Kindness,

"Tom! here" said father to his bow
speakingin authority. The lad was at.play
lie looked towards his iather, but did not
leave his companions.
"Do you hear me, sir spoke the father
more sternly than before.
With an unhappy face and reluctant step,
the boy left his play and approached his pa
rent.
"Why don't you creep along at e spairs

Hook to be obeyed instantly. Here, take
this note to Mr.. Smith, and see that you
don't go to sleep by the way. Now run as
fast as you can 60"
The boy took the note. There was a
cloud upon his brosv. He moved away. but
at slow pace. =
"You Tom +! lie that doing what ordered!
is that going quickly7 called the father,
when he saw the boy creep sway. eff you
are not back in half an hour, will punish
you"
But the words had but little effect. The
boys feelings were hurt bythe unkindness
OF the parent. He experienced sense Of
injustice, consciousness that wrong, had
been done him. BY pature, he was like his
father, proud and stubborn; and these qua
litiea of his mind were afoused, and he IN
dulged In them, fearless of Consequences.

Collie in Horses.

During the spring and summer, horses
ses and mules are frequently subject to at
tacks of collie. From the several years ex-
penence, have found. the following to be
an intalble remedy: So soon as the ami
NAL shows signs of collie, put three ounces
of landanum in quart Of castor oil, mix il
well, then drench with it; and nine times out
of ten it will relieve the suffering and faith
ful animal. But should the attack be so se-
we're as not to be relieved with this remedy
take plug of common chewing tobacco eut
it in several places on each side, grease the
hand and arm well, and insert II as an iniec.
ton, In the mean time let, two hands con.
tinually rub the animal under the belly,back
and forwards, with board or rail. have
a fine brood and work mare that is very sub.
ject to these attacks. In two instances, the
latter alternative relieved her when the for
mer failed, and that too when I had given
her up to die 1t is at least worth trial

AGRICUL 7 U RAJ.

If is true that "the children ofthis world
are wiser in their generation than the chill
dren of light" it is no less true that the
God of this world has blinded their eyesn
When Mr.. Editor-when let it be asked
with all the emphasis Of deep conviction and
earnestness of imminent ruin; When will
the cotton planters of the South open their
eyes to the fact, that crop of two million
OF bales will bring the more money than
n crop of two and half or three
millions? We toll and struggle through
the whole calendar, from Christmas to Christ
mas again, devoting to the cotton crop our
best lands and our best energies, and there
by cyhausting both: and all to swell the
number of cotton bales to an amount that
must in the very nature of things, depress
the price to a figure below remuneration.
and keep it there. Then look at the disas-
trous consequences which are inevitable by
such course. Cattle on the lift, or down
beyond the hope of resuscitation; skeleton
frames reeling to the plow, they have not
strength to move; corn-cribs empty, and
lighthouses desolate. In sections visited
by the severe drought of last Oar, the lit
tie money that was realized from the little
price of crop, has all gone to Cherokee and
Tennessee for corn. The bacon is vet to
be bought, either on credit or with the
money borrowed at high rate of interest :;
in either case involving the hapless purcha-
ser in debt. An argument of five minutes
Will convince any man that all these calam-
tiles may be avoided, and their opposite bles-
sings secured by planting smaller crop
ofgrain. Indeed almost every man is alrea-
dy convinced of that fact. WIZ is il, then,
that we all @confess the wrong and still the
wrong pursue?" Each individual is aware
that his diminished cotton crop will have no
effect upon the market, and in order TO get
mis- snare OF the money, ne must plant mis-
full proportion Of the coston. Now, Mr.. Ed
itor, l for one, am resolved to pursue a
different course, from the full conviction that
Ills TO my individual interest to make full

ceed so far as to have gran and pork to sell,
l at least will endeayor to void the huinilia-
ting necessity Of being compelled to pay
away all, or nearly all the proceeds of the
cotton crop for those indispensable necessa-
ries. And until every planter is consin ced
by practical experience, that, let Others do
ss they may, 1t is for his individual interest
to do likewise, then, aod not till then, will

lam aware that it is maintained, upon quite
formidable authority, that the extent Of the
crop has no influence in determining the
price; and a learned Professor attempts TO
prove that to be true, by the extent of the
several cteps Of the last ten years, and the
relative prices obtained for them. But an
argument based on thoss data is ineomplete.

Still undisturbed by trace ofmen.
Slumbers the quiet Silver Spring;
More like a breathing fisifs scene,
Than aught where foot Of man hath been
More like spot where natures face,
Reflected glows with added grace
More like gem from heavenly fingers,
Where all the light of beauty fingers
The forms that suddenly intrude
Upon thatlovely solitude, @
Start back amazed, breathless, spell-bound,,
Lest their own tread's intrusive sound,
Call forth the spirit of the deep,
From their unholy steps to keep,
That sacred scene, where naught of earth
No erring child of mortal birth
Should e'er appear-that cleaning deep,
Where heavens light seems ne'er to sleep.
The boughs that hang above its breast,
Wave like rich green curtain there;
Or bathe their leaves in languid rest,
And woe no more the absent air.
Deep, deep beneath, the eye beholds
A forest green, its leafy folds
Swaying before the gushing streams,
That shoot like radiant arrowy beams,
Of silver light from chasms vast,
Where gaping mouths and hidden caves,
Their huge and solemn shadows cast
In vain to reach the upper waves.
And whirling shells and pebbles bright,
That form those searchless depths are
driven
Rejoicing in their home of light,
Take all the rainbow hues of heaven.
Glowing with light the rocks beneath,
Like FURNISHED plates of silver shine,
And each within on emerald wreath,
Seems like some Naiad's sacred shrine.
The birds that carol DER the spring,
AS joyously their songs they sing, ,
Behold within that mirror bright,
Their own soft plumage bathed in light;
And dreaming that the absent mate
Hath found beneath another sky,
Sing DER their lore songs long and late.
To call him to the nesting tree.
No eye hath secn-no heart hath dreamed
OF spot more bright, more pure than this,
From natures face if love e'er beamed,
lis here she prints her warmest kiss.
And this was once the Indians home,
Where he was wont to worship love;
Here dreamed he of those joys to come,
In the great spirits fields above.
And here beheld the opening way,
To bliss that ne'er should pass away;
And here in chants at morn and even,
Sang praises to the spirits birth =
Deeming the scene less bright than heaven
But far too bright and pure for earth.
Long did the Indian gray-haired sires,
Rehearsc around their social fires,
A legend strange that marked this spot,
Which, as they deemed, foretold their lot;
How when the red and white man met,
The spirit warned them of their fate.
