WOMAN IN TEE GARDEN.

Much in these days are said about the sphere
of woman. Of this vexed question we have
nothing to say. The cultufsof the soil, the
body and soul are our themea; Rich soils, heal
thy bodies, pure, cultiyasrsg soals, these are
what we are aiming at And to this end we
recommend that every country woman have
garden that she keeps and dresses with her own
hands, or at least that she supervises and mana
ges. The culture of strawberries, gooscberries,
currants and garden vegetables are as delightful
and profitable as anything in which woman can
engage She may sprinkle her garden with
flowers. All the better for that. A SNOWFALL
in this corner, rose in that, dahliall bed there
and moss border here will not be out of place
Only let the substantial and useful constitute
the chief part. A touch of the ornate, like
ribbon on good bonnet, is not in the least OBJ
ectionable. In all the schools the girls study
botany. In all families the women ought to
practice botany. 1t is healthfu1, 1,sfiaaslnS and
useful. The principles Of horticulture are the
principles of botany put into practice: Farmers
study agriculture, why should not their wives
and daughters study horticulture? II any en-
poyment is feminine, it would seem that tlls Is.
A rich bed Of Strawberries bush OF blackoer-
ries OF currants, a border OF flowers produced
by ones own hand, what can well afford amore
rational satisfaction We say to all our coun.
try sisters, have garden, if it is only small
one, and do your best with it. Plant it with
what pleases you best, with good variety, and
see what you can do with it. What woman
cannot raise beets, tomatoes, melons, onionss
lettuce, and furnish her own table with them?
What woman cannot plant a raspberry bush or
current or gooscberry, and tend it well ? Come,
good woman, study your health, your usefulness,
your happiness, and your children's also.

CURE FOR LEAEY RooFS.-We have smali
timed roof, nearly fiat which, in defiance OF the
efforts of carpenter, tinman and painter, persisted
in leaking, from the day it was built until last
fell, when we applied coat of cement described
below, which has thus far proved perfect cure.
We mixed the cement as thick as it could be ap.
piled with a paint brush. The receipt is from
the Scientific american.
give years ago we applied cement, com.
posed of white lead paint, whiting, and dry white
sand, to small tin roof that leaked like sieve;
it soon became nearly as hard as stone, has never
scaled off, and has kept the roof since then per-
fectly tight. 1t was put on about the consis'
tency of thin putty"
This cement is excellent for filling up cracks
in exposed parts of brick buildings, pointing up
the roofs of houses, stopping up seams in the
roofs of buildings, closing cracks in cellar floors
and walls &c. White lead and sand, without
the whiting, also make an excellent cement fol-
seams and cracks. The Scientific american
gives the following receipt for Slaters' cement
Skaters cement for stopping leaks around
chimneys is composed of linseed oil; whiting
ground glass, and some brick dust. 1t is good
cement for this purpose; also for closing the
Joints of stone slept to houses"

RISING IN THE WoRLD.-You should bear
constantly in mind that nine-tenths OF us are
from the very nature and necessities OF the
world, born to gain our livelihood by the sweat
of the brow. What reason have we, then, to
presume that our children are not to do the
same }? If they be, as now and then one will
be- endowed with extraordinary power OF mind
those powers may have an opportunity Ut de-
veloping themselves; and if they never have
that opportunity, the harm is not very great to
us or to them. Nor does it hence follow that
the descendants of laborers are always to be Ia
borers. The path upwards is steep and long, to
be sure Industry care, skill, excellence, in the
present parent, lay the foundation of a rise,
under more favorable circumstances, for the
children. The children of these take another
rise and by-and-by the descendants OF the pre-
sent laborer become gentlemen. This is the
natural progress. 1t is by attempting to reach
the top at a single leap that so much misery is
produced in the world; and the propensity to
make such an attempt hos been cherished and
encouraged by the strange prof. jects that we have
witnessed of late years for making the laborers
virtuous and happy by giving them what is
called education. The education which speak
of consists in bringing children up to labor with
steadncss, with care, and with skill to show
them how to do as many useful things as posi-
BILE; to teach them to do all in the best man
ner; to set them an example in industry, So
briefly, cleanliness and neatncss; to make all
these habitual to them, so that they never shall
be liable to fall into the contrary to let them
always see good living proceeding from labor,
and thus to remove from them the temptations
to get at the goods of others by violent or frau
dulent means-W William Goblet.

The MANNERS OF YOUNG AMERIcA.--Ac cores
pondent of the Tribune, who was present at the
sumptuous dinner given at St. Louis to the rail-
road excursion party, thus comments upon the
manners of certain New York sprigs at the
table:
cat the dinner-which was not railroad
dinner at all, but an ample provision for four or
five hundred more than partook of all the del
cacies of the season-one thing was observed,
which it would be unfair to mention were it an
isolated case, but which illustrates frequently
observed characteristic of young New York, not
greatly to its credit One or two parties OF
youths, who are in society," began their dinner
by empting all the strawberry dishes within
reach into their own saucers, and putting all the
bottles of wine they could lay hands upon, after
filling their own tumblers, under the table to
keep for future use. During the residue OF the
dinner they conducted themselves on similar
principle-the principle that obtains among ami
mails who are not in society," 1t is at Fifth
avenue midnight supper table that such man
ners are learned~
These are the fast and fashionable young fel-
lows who, at social parties, rush in like fools
"where angels fear to tread" who monopolize
the best wines and the best viands at supper
tread on everybody's toes in the crowd, with
the nonchalent air of the jackass dancing among
the chickens; and who think it the height Of
good breeding to get as " tight as bricks" when
ever they can get hold Of the O. P. (0ther
Peoples) brand of wine. They smoke in omni-
buses, stare modest women out Of countenance
and make themselves disgusting generally. But
so long as they can boast Of rich Governors
to pay their bills, "society" tolerates, tailors
trust, and fools fatter them.-New York Mirror

BIRTH OF NAPOLEON Asingular facthas been
recently developed in Paris. The parish register
in that city, recording the marriage of ofNapoleon
with Josephine, states Napoleon's actual birth
day not as August Is, 1863, as reported by him
self. and given in all his biographies, but as Feb
ruary S, i76S. The register of the marriage,
signed by Napoleon and Josephine, is attested
members men of the family. 1t would seem that
when Napoleon found himself on the way to
power, he did not wish to have 1t alleged against
him that he was not Frenchman by birth. He
dropped letter in his Italian name becoming
Bonaparte instead of Buonaparte, } and declared
himself born in August l769, instead of Februa
ry, l76S, because beween those dates, Corsica
had been annexed to France. Ihe latter date
therefore, made him Frenchman.

Mount Pleasasss, college.

This Institution, as most ef our readers are
aware, is located at Huntsville. The buildings are
excellent, and the location is not excelled in the
State, as it combines health, good society, and is
easy of access from all directions. The College
has just closed the first year of its existence under
highly favorable auspices, and its friends and the
public feel safe in predicting for it, great success
and usefulness.
Rev. VIM. THOMSON, under whose management
it has heretofore been, has accepted the Presden-
cy of William Jewell College, at Liberty. His
place will be supplied by Prof. W. r. RoTHwELL,
ripe scholar, and experienced teacher. G. F.
RoTHwELL IS Professor of Languages. Miss B.
M. RAGLAND is Principal Of the Female Depart
ment, and has been connected with the Institution
since its commencement. The services of other
competent teachers have been secured, and by the
opening of the Second Sesson-Second Monday
in September-all the chairs will be filed.
President RoTHwELL is we'll known in this
section of the State, having been engaged in teach
ing for number of years past. We are satisfied
he will, if possible, add to the deservedly high rank
the College has attained under its Former President;
and as he expects to be permantly connected with
the Institution feel safe in predicting that the
hopes of its friends will speedily be realized.
The terms are moderate-board low. For spe-
cialities, address VIM. D. MALONE, Secretary

PEnuRY.-The Anti Bentonites who renegaded
from the American Party, think very hard of be-
ing exposed, and accuse those who hold them up
to public execra:ion, of being guilty of perjury
Now these rascals know that all obligations of Sc
crecy were removed by the National and State
Councils the same bodies that imposed them)
and that they were removed, among other things,
to enable the members Of the American Party 10
expose them, and refute their lies and ISLANDERS.
Stewart admits he was a member O. the Know
Nothing Party. So does Gen. Clark. Both these
gentlemen took an oath not to tell who they met in
the councils, and also, that they WI uld notreveal
that they were members themselves. If it is per-
jury to publish that they members, it is alike
perjury for them to admit 1t themselves.
Scamps who were expelled and kicked out of
the party, have their lips sealed-but gentlemen
who withdrew, or continue members, are at per-
feet libe rty TO speak as they please.

MI. Collins.

Our information from Mr.. Collins Is Of the
most cheering nature. We conversed with gen.
teman yesterday who heard him speak at Linneus,
on Monday. Herepresents him as being as good
a speaker as LiNpLEY, and as troublesome to Gen.
Clark as that gentleman was to Maj. c. F. Jack
son. He so riddles the vulnerable standard-bear-
er Of the Nationals, that many of his own party
drop him as they would garment infested witt
the smallpox.
We understand Mr.. Collins will speak in Fay
cite on Monday, the 9th, and pass to Randolph
Macon and Shelby, and address the people O.
those counties. We have not seen list of hi
appointments, but suppose they will be published
in due time.

IN the 'Wide wide Word,'' set of Landlords,
who purchase fewer goods from their tenants, than
can be found In the vicinity of Glasgow, send to
St. Louis for sugar, salt, and in fact, the greater
portion of their goods, and collect their rents in
cool Cash. They are the men who should feel a
deeper interest in the prosperity of Glasgow than
all others, yet they do more to discourage the mer-
chants than any other set of men in Howard, Ma
con or Randolph counties. II, as some predict,
the trade of Macon and Randolph is turned to-

their houses and take the rent in sugar, salt and

Forget Names.

We ask the people to forget the name of Demo-
Graf, and American, and look at the two candl-
dates for Governor-their present and past histo-
nv. STEWART is Yankee, raised in free State,
where slavery is hated, and shareholders scout
ed. ROLLINS is KcntuckiGn, raised in slave
State, is identified with slave holders, in pecu-
MARY sense, in Education, and all that is calcu-
lated to make man true TO the South.
Now. Just looking at the men, and their rails
ing, and forgetting party names, aud purity ties,
which enc oughtto be Governor of Southern
State? Just look at the subject in that light, slave
holding reader, before you vote. And Recolect'
the Yankees have got Kansas, and it Is a poor
way to keep them out of Missouri, to elect one
Governor.

A sick Candidate Taking Medicine

The correspondent of the "Leader," writing
from Springfield, and trying to excuse Stewart
for his lame speech, says:
"When he concluded, he was nearly exhausted
having been quite ILL., and forced 10 have recourse
TO active medical treatments"
The correspondent of the ''Intelgencer,' wri-
ting from the same place, and about the same
speech, tells what was the matter with him, and
what kind of medicine he took, as follows:
she at last concluded-completely exhausted,
and about m!f drunk, having often, DURING HIS
DISCOURSE, drank water, considerably SEASON
ED WITH WHISKY"
Now if there is anything in the Cincinnati Plat
form, or Nebraska Bill, that authorizes National
candidate for Governor, TO take a jug of whisky
with him on the stump, and get half drunk, while
addressing the people, we should like to see the
clause section.
