''Unioa" zo.pitality in Esas...oo.

The Nashville Banner relates the follow
ing:
A worthy friend from the farming districts
who occasionally drops in upon US to get the
latest news, narrateS the following. A travel
er passing through his neighborhood, on horse
back, stopped ut a modest cottage on the
roadside, and asked for shelter; rs it was quite
dark and raining. The "head of the Tanily"
came to the door and accOsted him with:
What do you want3"
Il want to stay all night" was the reply.
"Whnt are yer?''
This interogatory was not fully understood
by the Traveller and nc asked an explanation.
II mean what's yer politics." rejnined the
former. Air yer fur this Union or GgIn it?"
This was poser, us the traveller was not GER
tain whether the man was Union Man or n
secpssionist, and he was anxious to 'tie up for
the night-so he made up his mind and said.
My friend, am for the Uuiou and COnsti--"
stranger, y-s-O-lI kin kum in e.
1t is needless to add that the traveller dis
mounted, and both man aud beast were hUspi-
tably taken care Of for the night.

HoHEE LIFE.

If home life is well ordered, the children
having according to age, work time, play
time. books, games and household sympathies,
they will love home and find pleasure there
Give the little ones states and pencils. and en-
courage their attempts TO make pictures
Drawings will amuse them when noisy plays
have lost their zest, or are unreasonable; and
the art will be useful in after life. Have them
read to each other stories and paragraphs Of
pour selection, and save the funny things, and
pleasant ones you see in papers and books. TO
read TO them at your leisure. You cannot
imagine how il viii bind them to you. But
choose well for them, for the impressions made
upon their minds now will last when the hills
erumble. Have them sing together, and sing
with them. teaching songs and hymns. Let
them sing all day like birls-at nil proper
times Have them mutually interested in the
same things, amusements and occupations,
having specified time for each, so that their
habits will be orderly Let them work to-
gether in the gard,n-boys and girls both
need out-door-whilc the parents eyes direct
and sympathise and the loud voices blend in
loving accord.

A southernor ON sscession.

4 Southern gentleman who resides in Au-
gusta, Georgia, writes thus
If the South were merely let alone for six
months, we would probably try at the next
general election to get back. The new tariff
will open both eyes and pockets to cents
per pound ON cheese to 5 cents on butter
to 215 cents on sugar, 211G to % cents on to-
bacco, affect every one. and that sensibly.-
Prices have advanced and are still ascending.
Our regular army has 80 enlisted in this city,
and as many in Savannah. Nine-teuths of
our youth go constantly armed, and the COM
mon use Of deadly weapons is qnitc Disregard
ed. No control can be exercised over q lad af-
ter he is fourteen or fifteen: lie becomes Mr.
SO-and-so, and acknowledges no master. While
our free trade doubles our tariff. our postal fA-
cilities will also be increased. Letter postage
will probably be raised to ten or twenty-five
cents, and off the immediate line of the railways
there will probably be as much rs one mail
d week. Of course, therefore, we will like se-
ccsSion the better as We become the better &c
quaintcd with it.

New Method Of Rehnihr euaiF.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Through the European

era import of which shall briefly state, in tlsd
expectation OF soon being enabled 70 place n
minute account before the public. IL related
to new process Of clarifying sugar, whethet
obtained from cane, sorghum, Imphee, Maple,
or Beet, without the use Of animal black, BY
adding to tile syrup three-thOusandth part Of
plaster, {sdlphate Of lime;) and to a procfsS
iiscoloring sugar. by adding SIX per centUm
of the bydrate of the perotyde Of iron. pro
pared by treating solution Of the chlorohy-
dratc Of iron with lime, and washing tho pre-
cpitate with agitation and decautaiion, or, -
ususal, upon a filter:
These simple processes may be tried, upon
q small scale, at nominal expense. Tia
sulphate Of lime separates the AlbuminouS gab-
stances. which, il left untried, would prevent
refining.
II this method shall obtain in mandlacfnF-
ing sugar from the substances herein named,
the economy will be great; for / am informed
that essays made in France in the manuAo-
ture Of beet sugar dcmonstrte an increase Of

I searching winter is upon upon upon Us, and
lays his icy hand on the starving poor. Ad-
ded 10 the rigor Of the season are the affiic
7 tions Of money panic. They need shelter

Alas that the human tympathies should

fact urer discharges his help. The merchant
cnrtails bis expenses. The independent wrap
their possessions around their hearts and
smother their noble impulses Hundreds OF
genial souls freeze into stolid indifference up
on a financial pressure. The consequences
are that thousands are driven to want and
privation, and not a few driven TO

eitive nature, when starvation and beg
gary lrown him in the face How keen
the remembrance of better and happier days!
How biting the reproaches of their more for
tnnate brethrenl What if they have been

percd with mercy. Think of their trials,
their sufferings! Think Of their humanity

Wo have within q week met with such
touching cases Of abject poverty as caused
our very heart to bleed. Young men and
young women, once happy in their bright
homes, now wandering like outcasts honest
industrious, intelligent, yet crushed by load
of misfortunes some among them so tinid

their necessity wearing the meekest eOun

MannrinR Panr.rraan.

Pear-trces require care. and few soils are 70
well adapted TO their growth but require prei-
~ high manuring. The best manure for this
purpose is bone dust; ashes are also good. tor
the potash is needed. In soils deficient in iron,
the scalcs that collect around the anvil, ap-
piled to tbe soil, have an excellent effect

apply the manure literally. II Jon have pears

Case of Rebellion.

In vicuw ofthe numerous parngrSwhs in the
papers, the orders Of the GoAernor and the
Legislative debates upon the subject Of q moro
thorough organization Of the militia Of q State,
the question who is Liable to perform military
duty out Of the State is subject Of general
discussion. We believe that in case Of DRAFT

United States for force to put down rebel
lion, all upou the list Of the enrolled militia.
which includes every male citizen between the
ages of IL and IS years, would be liadle, wheth-
er belonging to a military company or not.

ETERNITY.

Eternity is the only theme that confuses,
humbles the proud intellect Of man. What is
it? The human mind can grasp any defined
length of time, however vast; but this is be-
yond time and too great for the limited con-
ception Of man. It has no beginning, and it
can have no end. 1t cannot be multiplied, it
cannot be added unto, you may strive to sub
straet from it but it is useless. Take millions
of years from it, take all the time that enters
the compass of your imagination, it is still
whole aud undiminished as before-all calcu-
lation is lost.

they cum monstrous near having q fight over

got to be daylight. and they found that they
had been climin' the same fence all night not
more'n u hundred yards from whar they first
cum to it.
Bill Sweeny sez he can't account for it in no
