A81irnltnral.
From The Soil Of The South.
Farm Regulations.

Mr. EDITOR A little work has been
recently issued from the press-Duties of
Masters to Servants-published by the
Southern Baptist Publication Society, at
Charleston, S. C.-price, fifty-five cents
which will be ofimmense value to all mas
tiers, and particularly to the young, who
are but now in their novitiate. The work
is composed Of three prize essays, which
have received the sanction of an able COM
mittee. They are all excellent-the Nell
vile Letters, by the Rev. G. F. Sturgis,
of Greensboro, Ala, being rather the
fullest and best adapted 70 our use as
agriculturists. These letters are written
by man unquestionably well versed in
the matter. Having for many years car
ried out nearly, ifnot all his plans, Ispeak
from experience. The many regard cook
ing all food for negroes, making up all
their clothing, and giving long rests, to
be lost time; they will reluctantly try the
plan; or if they do, it will be as is said cc
certain persons acting on the principle,
"condemning with faint praise" usually
make my corn, meat, provender, DC, DC,
and yet crop Of cotton, equal, ifnot larger
than my neighbors average. cultivate
as much land and as well. prefer a
little more time be allowed at the incoming,
especially at this season. Three hours is
not too long. Never permitting any
description Of labor Mt nooning, except such
as must be done to work animals-horses
and mules-not even washing clothes
half of every Saturday being allotted for
this, the year round.
My order to my overseer is, regular
beds to be made up, and house swept out
by daylight in the winter time, and brak-
fast eaten before going to work. In the
summer, beds made up, and houses swept
out at noon This the women can do
whilst the men are feeding and currying
their plow animals. Having fed negroes
from my own garden and had all food
cooked by woman delegated to this pnr-
pose, for twenty years, can speak conf.
IDENTITY rs to the plan. l suppose my ne
groes may steal occasionally, but know,
from feeding thus for twenty years, that
if half a pound Of bacon was not enough,
that long before this time | would have
discovered it. During these twenty years
| have overseed my own hands one hall
the time myself and speak entirely from
personal experience. 1hope your readers
will purchase the work, believing that not
one will regret the bargain.

Too Many Lovers will Puzzle Maid

foung Susan had lovers so many that she
hardly knew on which to decide;
lhey all spoke sincerely, and promised to be
AL worthy Of such sweet bride.
In the morning she'd gossip with William
and then
The noon. would be spent with younp
Harry,
The evening with Tom; so among all the
men,
She never could tell which to marry.
Heigh no! I'm afraid
Too many lovers will puzzle maid.
Now William grew jealous and went awav
Harry got tired of wooing;
And Tom having teased her to fix on the d,v
Received but frown for so doing;
80 among all her lovers, quite left in the
lurch,
She pined every night on her pillow,
And meeting one day a pair going to church
Turned away, and died under willow.
Heigh no! I'm afraid
Too many lovers will puzzle maid.

PosT OFFICE ENvELoPEs.-The post
route bill passed by Congress contains a
provision authorizing the post office de-
partment to cause envelopes to be made,
with suitable water marks OH the paper
identifying them as official, and with a
printed stamp, for single or double post
age with suitable device. These enve-
lopes are to be sold at all the post offices,
at the price of the stamps now sold-with
the very small edition of the actual cost of
the envelopes. This will enable rersons
to deposit their letters, prepaid, in the
post offices, at all hours, without trouble
or inconvenience, and without the risk of
having double postage charged Oh let
ter, by reason Of the stamp slipping of, by
the time the letter gets into the office, if
not before, as is too often the csse now. 1t
will also admit Of the safe transmission of
letters by private hand, when preferred,
without violation Of the post office laws,
which, after the lst of October, will be very
stringent on the subject.

Reply to Kate.

You are very much mistaken dear Kate,
In your somewhat vague allusion,
That should Sweetest damsel) of late,
Arrive at such base conclusion.
And besides, you observe the thought is rash:
To ponder well my decision;
The future could no brighter fash,
Than with our nuptal collision.
MY heart is warm as the MONDAY sun,
And yields to mild impression;
she who is neither bought nor sold has won,
From me this earnest confession.
With you I'll welcome the proffered pleasure,
LII dream not of the cares of life,
butwith emotion grasp the priceless treasure,
In you the person of my wife.
A deplorable case mine you suppose,
And so must dearest Kate;
Nor ne'er shall bask in such dread renn.e
Knowing that you and may mate.
80 well be happy in our modest rank,
And joyfully rest contented
But I'd much rather 'twould be bri.ay b,ank
than with the children be tormented.
