AND MY HEART Too.-A few years ago, whep
it was the custom for large girls and larger
boys to attend district schools, and when flag
citations were more common in school than at
the present time, an incident took place in a
neighborng town, which is worth recording.
One ofthe largest, plumpest, and fairest girls
of the school happened to violate one of the
teachers rules. The master, a prompt, ener-
getic fellow of 25, summoned her into the
middle of the floor. After interrogating the
girl few moments, the master took ruler,
and commanded her to hold out her hand
She hesitated, when the master, in blaze Of
passion, thundered out-"Will you give me
your hand ~ "Yes, sir. and my heart too, "
promptly replied the girl, at the same time
stretching forth her hand to the master and
eyeing him with a cunning look. A death
like silence reigned for a moment in the
school room a tear was seen to glisten in the
master eye , the ruler was laid upon the
desk, and the hlushing girl was requested to
take her seat, but to remain after The school
w0' d'SmiHed' In three weeks after the
school finished, the teacher and the girl were
married. Palmer Journal.

TALLEYRANp.-At a small private party in
Paris, one evening, some difficulty was found
in making up a whist table for,the Prince de
Talleyrand. A young diplomat present, who
was earnestly pressed by the hostess, excused
himself on the grounds of not knowing the
game. " Not know how to play whist, sir -
said the Prince, with a sym pathizing air ,
" then, believe me, you are bringing yourself
up TO be a miserable old man :"

sY Such Exhibitions as those which the
Agriculturists and Mechanics Of Virginia are
now making, are not only cheering In the
highest degree to all who have interest in
those avocations, and what member of the
community has not, but even in political
point Of view, their importance cannot be
over estimated. We regard the immense
multitude which is assembled here this DAY
rs an infinitely better evidence OF the abiiity
of Virginia to vindicate her rights as men,
Der of the confederacy, and to defend her
institutions successfully against Northern
aggression, than If highly disciplined army
Of so, 900 soldiers were mustered here, ready
to march to the battle field. There is no
limit to the resources and recuperative ener-
gies of agreat agricultural people, and, when
to these are added, mechanical and manufac-
turing industry, we havethe elements of an in.
dependent State, one that asks no favors of
the world, can supply herown wants of every
kind, and possesses the strength to compel
respect and proper treatment from others
Virginia has long suffered from the neglect
of these plain and simple means of attaining
wealth and power; means which have been
employed by the Northern States with such
eminent success, while the South, devoting
her best energies to politics, has continually
lostpolitical power. She is on the right track
now, however. The day of windy speeches
and paper resolutions has gone by. The
South no longer looks for succor or even for
hope to politicians or orators. She relies
upon the strong arms of her farmers and her
mechanics. Virginia possesses rich and
wide domain, and as great resources for man.
ufacturing as for agriculture. These annual
exhibitions will give powerful impetus to
the interests of the farmer and mechanic-an
impetus which will be felt in every county,
town and neighborhood of the State, and
which will go on increasing for years to come
A bright day is rising for Virginia. The pro-
gress of abolition aggression in the free
States will be met by the progress of practi
cal industry in the slave States; and thus we
shall gain in the power of resistance quite as
rapidly as they gain in the power of aggres-
sion.'

al IateHigencer says that an old and expe-

poisonous substance, and unsafe to be eaten.
He says that oysters and crabs never move
1.-THE former especially from their original
beds; and in the absence of rain or fresh
water. requisite to their healthful growth,
they absorb poisonous substance which in
fact after they have been taken from the wa
ter short time, kills them, and they turn to
or assume an unnatural color.
He says rain and frost are absolutely requi-
site, after protracted drought to make either
oysters or crabs safe diet.
In the Northern cities. deaths have occur
red lately from this cause. We would there
fore put our country friends on their guard
against imprudence in this respect.
