Profanity.

The habit of using profane language is alarm
ingly prevalent in many communities, and that
too by men of sound judgment and common
sense. 1t is strange why man, civilized, en-
lightened man, will pollute his lips with vile
language, when he knows it is contrary to reasa1n
and peliteness, and violation OF Gods holy law.
For most of the violations of the moral law man
often tries to justify himself by offering some
excuse, but for the of profane language there
cannot be the shadow of an excuse rendered.
Yet it is no strange thing either in high or low
circles, to hearsthe name of the Supreme Being
appealed to- on the most trihing occasions.
Parents set the example-children follow t.
and thus the wicked practice of erofaneing =
LoTds e..a faaliTting Tao arr with s..e
sounds of oaths and blasphe,nies is kept up from
enc generation to another Is it disposition to
appear brave, that causes such language to be
used? Instead of showing bravery, it betrays
the want of true moral courage.
All will admit that profane language is impo-
lite, and most Of these who are guilty of this
cla and moral outrage, refrain from it on certain
occasions In the society Of ladies and in the
presence of some venerable divine they will. for
the time, withhold such language, but as soon as
this restraint is removed, decency and morality
would blush to hear the vicious oaths that are
uttered How unreasonable and unthoughtfu
Do you imagine, O man, immortal that when
you have no human being near to restrain you.
that you are rot in the presence Of your maker !?
Reflect He hears those horrd oaths and His
name profaned and He will not hold him guilt
less who taketh His name in vain"
ut chlls my blood to hear the blest Supreme
Rudely appealed to each trifing theme.
Maintain your rank! vulgarty despse;
To swear is neither brave, polite, wise.
You would not swear upon the bed of deaths
Reflect! your Maker could stop your breath. "
Let those who are not guilty of this crime
this outrage upon moralty-labor earnestly tc
impress upon those slaves Of profanity, the i'm
minent danger Of such vice, and the propriety
ofaspeedy and thorough reformation.

Questions for a Wife.

Do you recollect what your feelings were im-
mediately after you had spoken the first unkind
word to your husband? Did you not feel
ashamed and grie%ed, and yet too proud to admit
it? That was, is and ever will be your evil
genius. 1t is the temper which labors inces-
sanity to destroy your peace, which cheats you
with an evil delusion that your husband deserved
your anger, when he really most required your
love. 1t is the cancer which feeds on those un-
speaking emotions you felt on the first pressure
of his hand and lip. Never forget the manner
in which the duties of that calling can alone be
fulfilled. Ifyour husband is hasty your example
Of patience will chide as well as teach him.
Your violence may ALLEVIATE his heart, and your
neglect impel him to desperation. Your sooth-
ing will redeem him-your softness subdues
him; and the good natured twinkle of those
eyes, now filing beautifully with priceless tears,
will make him all your own.

Advertising Sales of Propety.

The Lancaster Intellgencer, III soaking of
the Importance and great advantagel of adver
t'slns sales of property in the newspapSs, in ad-
dltlon to having hand printed, yruthfully
says:
"A newspaper is read by hundreds tho never
see the notices which are posted in tla taverns
aud store rooms. Every subscriber toa country
paper reads all such advertisements carefully.
lie knows who is selling out and exacty what is
omerea Tor sale. The advertisements IRE topic
OF conversation when friends meet, and arrange
nlents are made for attending sales. The result
Is large crowd, spirited bidding, and realization
of ten, twenty Or fifty times what it cost to ad-
vertise No money is so sure to return a large
profit as that spent printers ink 4 single
additional hss,-sc4 single article will pay all
it costs to advertise a sale of personal property
in newspaper. Is it not strange then, that any
one should fail to advertise? Let our friends
think of the matter"

Take clean, water-tight barrel, or other suit
able cask, and put into it half bushel of lime.
Slake it by pouring water over it, boiling hot,
and in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly until thoroughly siaked
When the shaking has been effected, dissolve it
in water, and add two ounces of sui phate OF zinc
and one OF common salt These will cause the
wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which
gives an unseemly appearance to the work. 1t
desirable, a beautiful cream color may be added
to the above wash by adding three pounds of yel-
low ochre, or good pearl or lead color, by the
addition of lamp, vine Or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds of umber, Turkish or
AnIerican-the latter is the cheapest-one pound
Indian red and one pound common lamp black.
For common stone color, add four pounds unber
and two pounds lamp black. This wash may be
applied with CONN, on whitewash brush and will
be found much superior, both in appe arance and
durability, to Common whtewash s..

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE REPUBLI-
cANs-The New York Independent formally
reads Judge Chase out Of the radical party. 1t
says: - .
I'VE now have reason to believe that Mr. Chase
would not accept the republican nomination for
the Presidency, even if it were rendered. We
have equal reason to believe also, that he would
accept the democratic nomination, if it could be
rendered on platform not inconsistent with his
wellknown views of negro suffrage"
Whereupon the New York Post (republican)
remarks: .-
There must be something seriously wrong or
rotten in the republican party, if it is true, as the
Independent so pointedy asserts, that states
man of as high principles and great abilities as
Mr Chase is, stands ready to abandon it, and re-
fuses even to be its standard-bearer. The Inde-
pendent filings Mr. Chase away with quite royal
air; but it viii occur to many, not Mr. Chase s
special friends that party has need to be rich
In statesmen which can drum out man like the
Chief Justice" . ..te. -.

A FATAL SPREE AMONG OFFIcERs.--The
Lawrence KANSAS Republican publishes the
following communication: .
ain the winter of 1864 | was stationed at
Yicksburg, Mississippi While there the officers
we're idle, and drank, usual, great deal OF
bad liquor. One night, when on one of our pro-
tracted sprees, in hall ON Washington street,
Captain Jessup and Capt Sholes thought they
would play William Tell" Sholcs measured
off ten PAGES, planting himself against the wall,
telling Jessup to shoot at tin cup which he
placed upon his head. Jessup was known as the
best pistol shot in the regiment, but demonstrated
little against running such great risk of his
life, but was prevailed upon by Sholes to try his
skill. He fired and just as he pulled the trigger
Sholes raised up little and the ball penetrated
his forehead, killing him instantly. | knew
Jessu2 for more than year afterwards. He
was almost raving maniac, to think he had
killed his best friend, all for nothing else than
having too much whisky aboard"

Reports of the Crops.

The Wisconsin hop crop is becoming one
of the greatest features of Western agricul-
ture. \ Milwaukee paper, of August -,
says: s.The trains 60 out crowded with
Hop piekers, who will commence their work
next week. Thousands upon thousands OF
girls have fed to the fields from this direc-
ton, from Chicago, etc. To-day all the cars
tina, could be had were taken Tor Hop girls.
One man took out /, 800 and others lots OF
from so TO 500. The call TO the Hop-helds
makes it almost impossible TO get girls TO do
Homework, and large prices have to be paid
for them.
Mahaska county, Iowa, last year, had
a.649 hives OF bees, which produced $1,000
pounds of Honey. and 1862 pounds of Wax.
The number Of hives are doubled this year,
but the crop will not be over 10000 pounds.
A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald
writes that in the Lake Erie Island vine
wards, the Catawba vines will not yield one
quarter of an average crop.
II is but a few years since California had
to be supplied with Wheat -four from Chi
and New York. Since July !, OF last year
one hundred and fourteen cargoes OF Whea
or FIVE millions Of bushels, valued at 5000,
900, have been shipped from that state 7
England, doing much to save England iron
famine. and the United States from famin
prices.
The wheat harvest in the State Of Wiscon
sin has all been gathered. and turns out I
be much superior in quantity and quality I
last year. Il is estimated the average yiei
per acre this year will be twenty eushel
while last year it was not more than lively
and will generally hold out weight-that
sixty pounds to the measured bushel. Dul
ing the dry, hot weather in July, there wer
apprehensions among the farmers that til
crop would be small and light, which mo-
proves not TO he the case.
