Mr.. Editor:-I desire to inquire of you
whether you can tell the public where
all the young and ardent Tennesseans
are who are reported to be on the line
Of railroad from this place to Atlanta
what are they doing?- Pare they waiting
for other men to fight the battles and
open the way to their homes and fam
lilies, while they are pleasure taking at
the different towns and watering places
Of the country? If this be true, it is
a shame, and their cheeks should be
manrled with a deep blush of disgrace
to be thus idle when the country needs
their services so much. The Governor
calls for a Tennessee state force, and
each Of these young bloods should ne
port themselves for duty, without de-
lay. Keep them stirred up until they
act their proper part in this great
struggle. S.

How 10 hnye Good CIaer.

Professor Horsiord, OF Harvard University,
has recently published receipt loE improY.
] ing and preserving cider, BY means Of which
] the progress OF the yinous and aeeiie fsrmen-
tations may be arrested al pleasure, and the
. cider preserved in Just such a state as may
be desired. A correspondence ofths Boston
Journal says; Il. "a 10 j. -t-g g
Put the new cider into clean casks or
barrels, and allow it 70 iermsnt from one to
three weeks, according as the weather is
cold or warm. When it has attained to
lively fermentation, add 10 each gallon three.
fourths Of pound Of white sugar, and let
the whole ierment again until it possesses
nearly the brisk, pleasant taste which Il Is
desirable should Be permanent. Pour out a
quart OF the cider and mix with it one quar-
ter OF an ounce OF sulphile of lime for every
gallon the eask contains. Stir until it is
intimately mixed, and pour the emulsion
into the liquid. Agitate the contents Of tho
cask throughly or low minntes, then let it
rest that the cider may settle. termenta-
tation will be arrested at once, and will not
be resumed. 1t may be bottled in the
course OF a few weeks, or it may be allowed
to remain in the cask and used on draught.
II bottled, 1t will become sparkling cider,
better than what Is called Champagne wine
Professor Horsford, Cambridge was the
! first to use the sulphite Of lime Tor this
purpose, and to him is due the credit Of
first calling attention to its usefulness. 1t is
no respect deleterieus, as the sulphite, into
which the sulphate is changed by the libera
ton Of sulphurOus acid is entirely insoluble
and remains at the bottom Of the vessel.
! The writer has cider prepared in this way
two years since, which has remained un,
changed. and is now beverage OF unsur.
passed excellency. The sulphite Of lime, no
tha s1Phates, must be used. ,4. .,. 4s,;i.

Lndies' Condolences.

TWO men, be they the dearest friends in
the world, when they have once lighted their
candles and said good night, think no more
OF one another, and feel no lack ofons another
until they meet at breakfast the next morn.
ing. But two women, two sisters, or two
dear friends, are not satisfied with talking all
day down stairs, they must need talk half the
night in their bed room. Some prying
novelist says somewhere that female ma
ture is such that confidence cannot be per-
feet until the back hair is let down; but we
DO not know enough of ladies' toilets to know
whether this is the right explanation. If it
be we feel quite sure that many husbands
would be quite satisfied to allow the back
hair to be let down in the drawing room; at
any rate from the Withdrawing thither TO
the announcement Of tea. As it is, the poor
man has creeping sensation that he and
his house, and his friends, and all his affairs
are being discussed just when he is anxious
to forget them sll in sound slumber. We
commend the question to Investigators OF
Social Science: Why do women delight to
chatter in bed rooms, while men, if they do
chatter, invariably chatter down stairs?

lisa sad thing when a person, old or
young. goes through his work in eowed
spirit. / do. not mean goes through 1t in
a jaded, heartleSs way merely, bat goes
through Il in the bare hope Of escaping blame.
a great part Of all that IS done in this world
isdone in this way. Many children, many
servants, many clerks, aud even several par
sons, go through their daily round, thus. !
do not say how poorly that work will usually
DO done which the uaa wishes just to get
through without any reprobstion, but think
how unhappily il will be done, ard what q
miserable training Of heart and mind II is
1t seems 10 me that few people do their
work heartily and really as well as they can
And people whose desire is merely to get
through somehow, seem to their work as at
level below it. The man who honestly
does his best, works from above; bis task is
below him; he is master OF it, however bard
1t may be. The man who hopes no more
than to escape censure, and who accordingly
aims at nothing more, seems to work from
below, his task is above him, be is eOwed by
it. Let as resolve that we shall always give
him praise when we can. You will find ma
ny people who are always willing to find
hult with their servants, il they do anything
wrong, but who never say an approving word
when they do right. You will find many
who do the like az to their children. And
ouly too often that vretched management
breaks tho spring Of the youthful spirit. Yes,
many little children are cowed, and the re-
suit is either 8 permanent dull quiescence,
never to be got over, or fierce reaction a.
gains, the tyranny that embittered early
yesrs-are action which may sometimes cast
off the bonds of natural affection, and even
Of moral restraint. How it encourages and
cheers the cowed little fellow, growing up in
the firm belief that be is hoPelsssly wicked,
and never can do anything to please any one,
to try reward as change from constant pun.
ishment and bullying. have soen the good
effect upon such an one Of kind, approving
word. How much more cheerful the work
will be dcns how much happier man he
will be that does it! A poor fellow, who
never expects that he can please, and who
barely hopes that he may pass without cen
sure and abuse, will do his task very heart
flessly. Let US prslse warmly and heartily
wherever prsire is deserved. Aud live weigh
the matter, we shall find that great deal OF
hearty praise, is deserved in this world on ey-
cry day that shines upon 1t. -.
