PoLIr1os AND THE SoUrH.-If the peo-
pie of the Southern States appear to con-
Germ themselves unduly about political
affairs, the fault, if fault there be, is charge
able to the radicals in Congress. The uni
versal desire among the whites of the South
is to 90 to work and make crops that will
pay debt and taxes, and yield a support for
their families. The reconstruction acts and
the military orders in pursuance of them,
require elections to be held with q view to
reorganization and restoration, and suffrage
is accorded to the whites. If they refuse to
vote they will be accused of sullenness, if
they vote for negro supremacy they will dis.
grace themselves, and the only conscientious
votes they can cast are against negroes,
mean whites and AfricaniEation. They feel
if the constitutions which are being framed
shall be ratified, they will be at the mercy
of q race, without education, property or
sympathy, and that they will be degraded
and ruined. If they did not, when required
TO register and vote, use all possible In
strumentalities to defeat every instinct of
their nature The struggle into which they
have been precipitated against their will, is
not against the Government, or against the
restoration of the Union. They acknoWlt
edge their subjugatiOn to the Government,
and anxiously desire to be restored TO the
Union. 1t is simply against negro supre>
macy that their efforts are directed, and
these efforts they have right to make by
virtue of the reconstruction laws which con-
| fer suffrage upon them. We repeat-the
Southern people have been forced into this
contest against their wishes, and can only
act as they are acting. But for the negro
ism with which they are threatened, they
would be unmoyed. They might vote il
any other view was presented, simply to
show that they are not sullen and indifer.
ent toward the Government, but beyond
voting they would not desire to go. TheiI
wish is that the white people Of the North,
and the negroes of the South, shall prescribe
the relations they are TO hold to the Govern.

WHAT CULTURE THE PEACH REQUIRES.

WHAT CULTURE THE PEACH REQUIRES
The peach is known by the best cultiva-
tors as requiring great care in cultivation.
Few things that grow out of the earth will
pay so we'll for the care bestowed. And,
without care, the peach is a failure. This,
We may say, accounts to q great extent, for
the discouragements which attend the eul>
ture of this most delicious of fruits. It is
tender, aud therefore requires care it must
have it or it will fail Not only the amount
of the crop, but equally the quality, will
fail without care. Let no one attempt peach
culture, unless he intends to bestoW the
necessary time upon it. The grass must not
only be kept out, but the ground must be
mellow, and mellow throughout, but es-
pecially at top. FruitgroWers in the east
grow corn or other crops, which require the
stirring of the ground until the orchard
bears. Then, the trees are cultivated as one
would corn. The ground is kept we'll stirred /;
no grass nor weeds are permitted. This,
aside from the effect of the climate, is the
principal thing.

ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.-At festival par
ty of old and young tho question was asked,
which season of life is most happyl After
beiug freely discussed by the guests, it was
referred for answer to the host, upon whom
was the burden of four-score years. He
asked if they had noticed a grove of trees
before the dwelling, and said when the
spring comes, and in the soft air the buds
are breaking on the trees, and covered with
blossoms, think, how beautiful is spring
And when summer comes, and cover the
trees with its heavy foliage, and singing
birds are all among the branches, 1 think
how beautiful is summerl When autumn
loads them with golden fruit, and their gor-
geous tint of frost, think how beautiful is
autumn And when it is sere winter, and
there is neither foliage nor fruit, then 1
look up through the leaAess branches, as l
could never until now, see stars shine
through, 1 think how beautiful is winter p

BACHELoRs.-The Roman Censors fire..
quently imposed taxes on unmarried men,
and men of full age were obliged by law to
marry, unless mentally or physically diSquali-
fed. The Spartan women, at certain games,
laid hold of all the old bachelors they could
get their hands op, and inflicted on them
every mark of infamy and disgrace, drag
ging them around their affairs and handling
them very roughly. In 1859 the English
Parliament laid a tax on bachelors over
twenty-five years of age, of el2 and 10 shil-
lings for duke, which was graduated down
to shilling for a common man. Uncle Sam
has been very lenient to his unmarried neph.
ews at all times, but be might do a good
thing for the war debt by laying a revenue
and ad capitunl tax on them just now As
this is Leap Year, if the ladies use their
privilege, old maids and bachelors who are
not already hardened and inveterate cases,
will not have even the ghost of an excuse
for continuing in the state of "single bles>
sednesa."
