The ground should be rich and well bro

ton as might be expected TO produce a
good crop Of corn. It ought to be laid out
in ridge about three feet apart. A shall
low furrow run with small pIow along
the centre Of each ridge prepares the ground
for the seed. The pods, which cout4in
from one to three peas each, must be bro

one foot to eighteen inches apart, and Gov

Some farmers cover these lateral vines with
earth. while others leave them bare all the
time. It is not agreed which is the better
mode. When ripe, one bunch Of vines will
have from one to two quarts Of peas.
Some planters cultivate them ia hills, like
corn, but prefer drills. One acre will
produce from thirty-fvs to ffty bushels OF
peas. which usually sell at one dollar a
bushel in our market.

Helm Yourself.

People who have been bolstered up and
levered along all their lives are seldom good
for anything in a crisis. When misfortune
comes they look around for somebody to
cling to and lean upon. If the prop is not
there down they go. Once down, they are
as Helpless ascapsized turtles, or unhorsed
meu in armor, and can never find their feet
again without assistance. Such silken fell
lows no more resemble self made men who
have fought their way to position, making
difficulties their stepping stones, and de-
riving determination from defeat, than vines
resemble oak, or sputtering rushlighls the
stars of Heaven. Effort persisted in the
achievement, trains a man into self reliance
aud when he has proved to the world that
he can trust himself, the world will trust
him We say, therefore, that it Is
unwise to deprive young men of the ad-
vantages which result from energetic ac
lion, by boosting" them over obstacles
which they ought to be able to surmout
alone. No one ever SWAN well who placed
his whole confidence in cork jacket; and
if then breastiug the sea of life, we cannot
bouy ourselves up and try to push ahead
by diut of our own energies, we are not
worth salvage, and it is Of little coDsequen-
ce whether we ''sink or swim, survive or
perish"
One of the best lessons father can give
to a son is this "Work, strengthen your
moral and mental faculties, as you would
strengthen your muscles by vigorous ex-
ercise. Learn to conquer circumstances,
you are then independent of fortune. p
Men of athletic minds who have left their
marks on the eras in which they lived,
were all trained in rough school. They
did not mount to their high position by the
help of leverage they leaped the chasms
grappled with the opposing rocks, avoided
the avalanches, and when the goal was
reached felt that but for the toll that hsC
strengthened them as they strOve it could

Advertising.

AuVSL G4S4uS'
The Rural Gentleman, of Baltimore. says
great many sensible things in the follow
ing article:
We would now at this season of the year
address a short article to our advertisers,
and especially those who do not advertise
regularly. Generally all our articles are
written for readers, but we think advert
sers need a lecture occasionally as well as
readers. But one would hardly thIuk this
should be the case, for men who advertise
are generally men of good, sharp. business
ideas, aud, as general thing, are men who
are successful in business. Take the
world over, and ask all the merchants who
have retired rich the true secret of their
success ask them what it was that first
brought them into public favor, and they
will tell you it was a judicious system of
advertising. But the question first to be
solved by all who intend to advertise is /;
what is a proper & profitable mode of using
the printers ink 2 And before answering
this, We must know what class of custom
you wish to reach. If you are doing an
entirely city trade, it is only a waste of mon
ey to advertise in country papers; and the
same may be said if you are engaged ex-
clusively in a country trade it will only be
throwing away money to make use of the col
umns of the city dailies. But if your trade
is with the country people generally, then
use the best country papers published in
! the section in which you desire to trade
and give them a good advertisement-not
such as you sometimes see in the papers,
making great deal of fuss when they have
| but very little to sell. Advertise TO sell
! Just what you have to sell, and keep it al
ways before the people, and above all, dOn't
do your advertising spasmodically-- is
to say, advertise for a few days and then
stop month, as most people do, arguing
that it is no time to advertise in dull sea
sons. A greater mistake was never made
for it is during the dull season that people
have time to read the papers, and by so of,
ten reading over the advertisement OF firm
that the buyer begins to think he is ac'
quainted with the same, and very naturally
finds himself vending his way to the house
whose advertisement he has seen and reaC
so often during the dull winter or hot sum
mer months.
Some men fully understand the use o
the printer. and make him lend heavy
hand toward gaining the fortune we ar'
looking for. Why may not others do tht
same for surely " hat has been done cal
be done again and We earnestly hope oul
friends may be induced to make an effor
in this way the coming year.

General Grant.

The following sharp criticism upon Gen
eral Grant is from the Louisville Journal {:
eve think that the whole country un-
derstands the truth that Grants march from
Washington towards Richmond in the face
of Gen. Lee was one of the most disas-
trous campaigns ever undertaken. He was
brave or obstinate enough. He would
whenever or wherever Lee chose to stop
and throw up battle-wOrks, advance and
attack him at a terrible expenditure of life.
and in every case he was repulsed. And at
each repulse he would walk his army
round, make a flank movement, giving an
other disastrous battle, getting another
most bloody repulse, and then going again
into the fankirg business. At last be got
to City Point on James river, after losing
a hundred thousand men. There he stop
ped.
"Fhe senior editor of the journal was in
Richmond in the winter Of 1865, and we
know that the Confederate officers, soldiers,
and citizens had no more apprehension of
Gen. Grant than il he had been on the other
side of the ocean. His proximity didn t
keep a man or woman awake a single min
ute. The whole terror was in regard to the
march of Sherman. And it was Sherman s
march and only that which conquered Lee s
army and all the other Confederate armies.

If You Want a Kiss, Take it.

There's jolly Saxon proverb
That is pretty much ike this,
That a man is half in heaven
When be has a woman's kiss
But there's danger in delaying
And the sweetness may forsake it ;
So l tell you, bashiul lover,
If you want kiss, why take it,
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this
Never let q laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss
There's royal way of kissing,
And she jolly ones who make it
Have q motto that is winning
If you want 3 kiss, why take it.
Any fool may face a cannon,
Anybody wear a crown,
But man must win a woman
If he'd have her for his own.
Would you have the golden apple +;
You must find the tree and shake It..
If the thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, Why take Is.
Who would burn upon desert,
With a forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny Summer
For bleak and Wintry sky?
oh l tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it
For the sweete part Ofloving
Is to want kiss, and take it.

Wonderful Meehanism--A Steam Man.
The Newark Advertiser says that Mr..
Ladock Deddrick, a Newark macbinist, has
invented a man that, moved by steam. will
perform some of the most important func
tious of humanity, standing upright, walk
ing or running. as be is bidden, in any di
rection, and at almost any rate of speed,
drawing after him a load whose weight
would tax the strength of three stout
draught horses. The man stands seven
| feet nine inches high, the other dimensions
of the body being correctly prOportiOned,
! making him a second Daniel Lambert, by
/ which name he is facetously spoken Of
among the workmen. He weighs 500
pounds. Steam is generated in the body
/ or trunk, which is nothing but a three
horse power engine, like those used in our
steam-fre engines. The legs which sup
dort the automaton are complicated and
wonderful The steps are taken very nat
urally and quite easily. AS the body is
thrown forward upon the advanced foot the
other is lifted from the ground by a spring,
and thrown forward. As each step or pace
advances the body two feet, and every rev.
olution of the engine is capable Of making
more than a thousand revolutions a minute,
it would get over ground on this oalcula-
tion, at the rate of little over mile a min
ute. As this would be working the legs
faster than would be safe on uoeveu ground
or on city cobble-stones. it is proposed to
run the engine at the rate of 500 revolu-
tons per minute, which would walk the
man at the modest speed of half a mile a
minute The fellow is attached to com
mon rockaway carriage, whose shafts serve
to support him in verticle position. These
shafts are two parts of iron, which are
made fast in the usual manner to the front
axel Of the carriage, aud are curved 50 as

cause he is not posted up, not having read
the papers. And in the family circle what
an influence the newspaper has--ths chill

frivolous smusements aud gives them an

parent would consent to go without news

too. He may think be can get along with
out it because he is out of the world, and
hecan have the reading Of the paper from
his neighbOF's shop or store, and learn
what is going on from others. They ought
to read for themselves. II however, they
think they do not need paper for them

so, and those wRo.have not taken q news
