Earning q Farm.

Having read in the Country Gentleman
several wavs for young man desIrous of
obtaining a livelihood by farming to do so,
| thought perhaps few ideas | might sug.
gest wOuidnot he out of the way. Although
young and inexperienced myself, in the ways
Of working and by the means Of which a
farm is obtained, have often heard my
father speak Of his experience, some Of which
| will briefly relate. At fifteen years his
mind was fully made up to be a farmer. To
that he devoted his energies, and, boy that
he was, was fully assured that he would
never have any other vocation. At eighteen
he bid adieu TO father and mother, and start
ed with nothirg but an axe, which was all
the kind parent could give but his blessing,
and piece Of bread and cheese from the
thoughtful mother. He left the parental
homestead, Travelled thirty miles, there found
employment, and from that day to this never
has known want. For the next five years
he labOred partly by the month and also by
working farms on shares. In those days,
when working farm on shares, you boarded
with the family, including washing, and bad
one.third Of the profit. In the next FIVE
years be laid UP S500-was then married,
bought a small farm for $3.50, paid $3.50
down, with five years to pay the balance.
He worked il eight years, then sold, and
was worth at that time $2,l00. Worked q
farm on shares for two yeaTs-was then
worth t3,l0O. Then bought q farm for
s4,5O0, having Il so arranged that the pay
ments would be made from the grain and
meat raised on the farm. When that was
paid for, sold again for $500. By improv.
ing in fencing and building, the farm is now
worth $4,000, Many young men, who
commenced with nothing, have now good
homes, surrounded with all thu comforts Of
lifa. Working farm on shares, he thinks,
is quite as profitable for young man as
working BY the month. GhaHAa

The KING OF DAHoMEY's AMAZON GUARDS.
Attached to the King Of Dahomey's army
there is a troop called " the Amazon Guards." !"
The West African Herald thus describes
them :--"The Amazon Guards, as they
have sometimes been styled, are the most
extraordinary troops that we have ever
heard or read Of. They are three thousand
in number, all females, and display such a
degree Of bloodthirstiness and hardihood
as to bear greater resemblance to host Of
mad tigresses than to human creatures.
They utterly despise death; they show no
mercy to any living being in war; they are
mad after blood, and seem not to know
what fear means. They are, in fact, = troop
Of devils, so to speak, whose hideouS wild.
ness Of manner, and tho savage madness Of
whose demeanor, in times Of excitement,
are so appalling and inhuman, as to lead
many welljudgng person to Opine that
these dreadful creatures are periodically sub
iect to some species Of drug which has this
effect. The dress of the Amazons consists
of pair Of loose trousers, an upper gar
ment covering the breast, and cap. They
are armed with gun, knives, and daggers; /;
some have blunderbusses, others have long
elephant guns, while the remainder carry
the ordinary musket. In their military ex.
ercises they display good discipline, as we'll
as wonderful dexterity and agility"
MAKING HoME ATTRAcr1vE.-Some one
writes both gracefully and forcibly: "IwOuld
be glad to see more parents understand that
when they spend money judiciously toimprove
and adorn the house and the ground around
It, they are in effect paying their children q
premium to stay at home, as much as posi-.
bic, to enjoy IL; but that when they spend
money unnecessarily in fine clothing and
jewelry for their children, they are paying
them apremium to spend their time away
from home-that is, in those places where
they can attract the most attention and make
the most display" 'l'
REMEDY FoR SoUAsH BUos.-A strong
solution of aloes-say two ounces TO gallon
Of water-is said to be an efftctual, and is
certainly cheap remedy for the pests which
destroy squash and melon vines. This solu.
tion, Il Is said, will repeI rose bugs and the
green slugs that destroy roses and grapes.

Jacksonport Re-captured.

It is reported and confidently believed that Jack sonport has been retaken by our troops under It. Col Burleson, of Col. Parsons regiment of Texas cavalry, supported by the gunboat Maurepas, commanded by Capt Fry of the Confederate navy We have every reason to believe the report, as it is known to us that an attack upon Jacksonport was in contemplation several days ago. It is said we captured good deal of commissary, quarter master and ordnance stores and took and destroyed about 3J0 bales of cotton, that the federas had collected and carefully stored in the place.
 A fight was expected yesterday near Searcy on this side of Red river. A foraging party of the enemy, about one thousand strong was believed to have crossed to this side and our troops were pre- pairing to attack them.
 We expect stirring news from White river the coming week. Our generals do not intend to per nit the enemy to punder and rob our people with impunity. Our policy will be to harrass and cut them off in detail, and then meet them in pitch battle whenever they attempt an advance They must advance or retire very soon, as they have eaten out the country around them.

Obituary,

THOMAS II PARKER, 2d Lieutenant, in company E, Of the l2th Arkansas regiment of volunteers, commanded by E. c. Jones, was born in le27, in -, and emigrated to Gibson county, Tennessee, where he intermarried with daughter of James Elliott. h. 1850 he cmicrated to Hot Spring county, Arkansas, where he continued to reside with HIS family, engaged in the business of farm
 ing beloved and respected by all his neighbors and acquaintances for his manly virtues. In 1852 he made 8 profession of religion and joined the Mis- slOnary Baptist Church, and up to his death was consistent member, being exemplary. humbly walk ing before God. Being strong and unhinchng State rights man, and feeling 1t his duty to defend hiS rights in the battle field, he volunteered and was mustered into the service of the Confederate States at Arkadelphia, Arkansas, on the 20th of July, 1851, as a private in the ranks, but on the 20th dIy of September following, he was promoted by the unanimous vote of his company to the office of I'd lieItenant to fill the vacancy occasi0nel by the resignation of H. B. Gibbs Lieut. Parker was good soldier--cool, brave and effective, and one ot the best officers in the regiment; suffice it to say, he always did his duty soldier, officer and christian gentleman with courage, frmness and kindness.
 On the 5th of May, (nst.) he left Memphis Tennessee, under orders as a recruiting officer reached his residence on the 18th, and died on the l5tl inst, at o'clock, A. m, of camp fever sur rounded by his devoted wife and six lovely chidra, anu anxious IrIendS. 1he writer was at home upon sick tlrlough, and upon hearing of Lt Parker's arrival repaired to his house few miles distant. on the l4th and found him very sick, but able to converse and give report of his labors anG doings and of he company to the writer satisfactorlv.@ The writer left and returned home in the eyening and be.ore lie could go back to see him on the morning of the 18th inst, he received the startlng news tmt the patriotic and good man was no more, but had fallen asleep in Jesus, to be awaked in the great daT ot the Lord to reign with him where wars will have ceased.
 The Confederate army has lost gallant soldier the State valuable citizen-the church an ex. emplary nember-the wife and children devoted husband and kind father. May the Deity bless tho mourning family and sanctify his friend; and breth ren, Anhn' ED. c. JONES.
