Many aman u rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing In
their pockets, aud thousands with
good, sound constitutions, a good
stomach, good heart and good limbs,
and a pretty good heud.piccc, are
rich. Good bones care better than
gold, tough muscles than silver, and
nerves that flash FIRE aud carry energy
to every function, are better than
houses and land. II Is better than
landed estate 10 have had the right
kind Of father and mother. Good
breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds and
horses. Education may do much to
check evil tendencies, or TO develop
good ones, but It is good to inherit
the right proportion of faculties to
start with. That man is rich who
has q flavor of wit and fun in his
composition. The hardest thing to
get along with in this lite is ones
own self. A cross, selfish fellow, a
desponding and complaining fellow,
a timid, care burdened man--these
are all born deformed on the inside.
Their feet may not limp, but their
thoughts do. A man of fortune, on
the brink of the grave, would gladly
part with every dollar to obtain a
longer lease of life.

"The AuspiclOus Time"

The following extract is from the
abel pen of Gen. D. H. Hill, editor
of The Land We Lore, and should
be carefully peruscd and acted upon
by every one:
"Now is the auspicious time to be-
gin in our desolate but still beautiful
South, to correct false notions about
the servile nature Of work. Those
with us who have no need to work
with their own hands belong gener-
ally to that class who shrank from the
hardships Of the march, and the dan
gers Of the battlefield. Their purple
and fine linen tell of speculation and
extortion, the widows tears, the Or
phan's wall and the dead soldiers
blood! Away with them Poverty
is now the true badge of nobility.
1t speaks eloquently Of heroism, pa
triotism, obliviousness of self and
selfish interest, generous sacrifice of
everything upon the altar of country.
No blazoned coat Of arms ever so
plainly proclaimed honorable blood,
as does that old faded uniform. Take
heed. o, ye heroes of many hard
won field, lest you bring a stain upon
your bright escutcheon. There is a
cowarlice which shrinks from duty,
as well as a cowardice which shrinks
from danger. 'Tis just as unmanly
to fear "the worlds dread laugh as
it is TO fear the shot and shell of an
enemy's battery. It is just as igno-
BILE to neglect the obligations at home
as to evade the service owing to the
country. lou have been true 10 the
land Of your birth, be true to those
who are bone of your bone and flesh
Of your flesh. Your mothers, wives
and sweethearts have not blushed for
your want Of manhood in the field !;
let them not blush for your cffemin-
acy and slothfulness at the Greside.
But we believe in the enduring man
hood Of the Southern soldier. We
believe that he will meet toll and
poverty IN the same noble spirit with
which he has met privation and peril.
His is no soliling to be crushed by
hardsbips and to be cast down by
trouble. The lion in the path Of the
timid and irresolute Is but con-
temptible cur to him."

The Greenville Times of the 10th
says: Some weeks since wcnoted the
fact that some acres on the Roach
plantation had been devoted to broom
corn this year, and stated our opin-
ion that the crop would yield great
er return than the same extent Of
land planted in cstton. We have
since been informed by Mr.. Putnam,
who had the broom corn planted,
that Il netted $50 per acre, exclusive
Of the value Of the seeds, which are
said TO be better than oats for stock,
and superior to wheat for distilling
purposes. This was a mere expert
mental crop, and did not receive the
attention in cultivation that Il should.
Planted and cultivated as il should
have been, Mr.. Putnam i satisfied
the yield would have been a third
greater.

FALL PLowIyo.-All land with
tenacious clay sub-soil, is greatly ben
edtted by being plowed in the fall.
The clay is turned up aud exposed to
the action Of the frost and the atmos-
pherc, and its condition is greatly
amclorated by this exposure. The
insects which have taken refuge in
the earth, are disturbed, and many Of
them destroyed in their winter quar-
tiers. The weeds and rubbish are
buried, to rot aud furnish fertilizing
material for the other crops. The
spring work is so much advanced aud
shortened. Seed can be got in the
ground earlier, which is generally
very important. Oats in particular
should be sowed early, and on fall
plowed ground. The weather is now
cool, and the horses are in good con-
diiion for work. Put the plows 10
work, brother farmers, and save time
in the spring.

Important Legal Decision.

The Court Of Appeals Of the State
of New York is the highest tribunal
in that State and its court Of last
resort. A very momentous case has
been before il for consideration, in
volving the question of legislative
competency to restrict suffrage. As
corrollary, the question of Con-
gressional restrictions was affected.
The case OF Green vs.. Shumway ct
al, was decided by that court on the
22d instant, and excited general ut
tention and remark. This decision
explicitly afirms these two PROPOSE
tions:
First-That the test oaths cannot,
under the Constitution Of the United
States, be required by Legislation as a
condition Of the right of suffrage.
Second-That. the Legislature Of
the State Of New York has no power
to establish by law any qualification
whatever for electors in that State.
1t follows that Congressional in
reference Is equally unconstitutional.

Tho Department " Agriculture
fspofs that the correspondence be-.
iseen that branch of iho Govern.
ment and farmers Ia all parts ol the
country has been very voluminous
and indefinite concerning The Weld
of wheat, furnishing numerous and
contradictory elements Us TO quantity.
On the one hand, Il Is stated that
from q variety of causes the wheat
crop Of this year will fall short Of
that of 1867, while In opposition to
this view cases ARE mentioned of
thrce-iold acreage with half nm nv.
cragc yield, giving hily per cent.
aggregate increase, notwithstanding
the loss numerous returns declare
the present the largest crop IN many
years, and the majority, in view Of
the general increase in acreage, show
better result than that of last year,
after accounting for losses in the
yield. II may be stated, however,
that the average yield per acre Of the
whole country is scarcely equal to
that of 1867, but the increased area
sowu will secure an aggregate some
what larger than the product Of that
year. The hay crop is excellent,
while oats is only middling. The
area of corn planted is large and tho
return per acre will be entirely satis-
factory. Potatoes promise full
yield in some localities, while in
others a different aspect is presented.
On the whole, however, the potato
crop of this year will not equal that
Of 1867. In all the Middle States
fruit has failed. Apples are not worth
gathering, save for family use, and
the quantity will hardly reach that
point. The yield Of peaches was
small, but pears did better in most
places. On the whole, the product
of the country coming under the no
tice of the Department of Agricul-
ture have been more abundant in the
present year than in the one just
past, and for such result let US be
Observation-Disclosures Age.

People rarely achieve anything of
account unless they preserve their in
dividuality. 1t is developing native
faculty that brings power and effect
i've skill. People succeed or fail just
as they preserve individuality and
develop what nature has implanted
within them. A man with acapacity
to run a clam cart will fail as a me-
chanic. A naturally good mechanic
will make poor preacher. A man
who is only equal to tape and calico
will never be poet. A dealer in
junk will not be likely to be a good
politician. The moment a man steps
out of himself he becomes nobody,
and though some do not have to step
great way to reach this point, they
should never make il. Stick to your
individuality. 1t is your only hope.
If there is not anything under that
hat Of yours, then YOU may as well
collapse-the sooner the better, both
for your own aud for examples sake.
