Bathing.

A celtb brated doctor explained how
arterial blood supplied the waste which
was instantly going on in the human
system. The venous blood carries OFF
the efiete matter, and mostly through
the skin. If the seven million pores
were not clean and open, how could the
impurity get out? Let him take a
painfully familiar instance. They all
know what a grog-blossomed face was.
The man had been drinking whisky,
and wine, and porter, and such things,
and his face soon showed a rad errup-
ton. Strip that man, and from the
crown OF his head TO the sole of his
foot you would not find one blotch.
Why, then, were they on his face alone Z
The blood was impure; the impurity
sought an exit, and where? Through
the only healthy part of the mans
skin; through the part that was washed
every day, and exposed continually to
the air. Let the body be kept clean
and disease will pass out.

Great Truths ia Agriculture

Great Truths ia Agriculture.
The farmer who stints his fields, is
as unwise and improvident as he who
starves his working caitle--in both
cases he is diminishing the ability of a
hility ofa faithful servant to bo useful
10 him.
The farmer who obtains from Il field
not properly fertilizod ten bushels Of
grain, when BY manuring he might have
obtained twenty, is selling his labor at
half its value.
lie who does not give back to his
fields rs much as he takes from them
sells their fertility in his crops---and
the fertility Of the soil is the farmers
capital.
The farmer who will keep these
truths in view, and act in accordance
with the rules they suggest will find
his compensation in the increasing pro
ducts Of his farm, in the augmentation
Of his wealth, and in the promotion Of
the general prosperity.

This Beauty OF u Blush,

Goethe was in company with mother
and daughter, when the attcrreproved
for something blushed and burst into
tears. He said: How beautiful
your reproach has made your daugh-
ter! The crimson hue and those sill
very tears become her much better
than any ornament Of gold or pearls.
Those may be hung on the neck of
any woman, but these are never seen
disconnected with mortal purity. A
full blown rose besprinkled with the
purest dew is not so beautiful rs this
child, blushing beneath its parents
displcasure, and shedding tears of sor
row for its fault. A blush is the sign
which nature holds out to show where
chastity and honor dwell"

est hostility, that they will wage fierce
war against him, may be quite con-
lidcntly expected. But wi he be less
useful, effective and powerful on that
account? Is not the game of cencll,
iation and compromise, Of trucking

need of new strategy imperatively
demanded? Does not the present sit
uation Of the country afford the very
occasion and opening for man of the
qualities of Andrew johnson, who has
the boldness and the capacity to arouse
and rally to his support the great pop
ular sentiment and conviction so long
ignored and disregarded by political
chiefs and upon whose corrective pow
er and influence alone. we should be
taught by sad experience, the country
must rely for its redemption and the
safety and perpetuity ofour Republican
system
This Andy Johnson will do. He
may be voted down, he may be abused
maligned denounced and hated, by the
politicians, but he will find support,
encouragement. sympathy, and ap-
plause from the honest masses. Thus
he will establish, organize and give
power to the only agency by which
constitutional and honest government
can be restored in this country. This
can never be done by and through the
partisan chiefs who have been foisted
into the high places of the Republic. 1t
would indeed be a lamcntable and dis
fact, if so important result
should be prevented by the intrgues Of
political aspirants, and the short sight
,dness ofthe Tennessee legislature.

The Icclanders have curious Gus
tom, and Il most cfiectual one, ofpre-
venting horses from straying. Two
gentlemen, for instance, are riding to-
gether withaut attendants, and, wishing
TO alight for the purpose of visiting
some AFFECTS at distance from the
road, they tic the tail of one horse to
the head OF the other, and the head OF
this to the tail Of the former. In this
state it is utterly impossible that they
can move either backward or forward,
one pulling one way, and the other the
reverse; and therefore, if disposed TO
move at all, it will be only in a circle,
and even then there must be an agree
ment to have their heads in the same
direction.

Is the man consistent who prowls

made as useless by u feeble virtue as
by vice.
For all life, ard for each day, it is
better to read before working than to

labor when the head is tired, but the
mind cannot be spry when the mind is
exhausted.
Asparagus, lettuce, and celery, give
more greenbacks to the acre than any
other vegetables. But four elements
are required, near market, good land
great manure pile, and experience in
the business.
Now is the time TO prepare for bud
ding fruit trees. September, the month
in which this work is usually done is
near at hand and every one who in
tends to bud should lay his plans SO as
to be sure and have time for it.
The sooner cherries are budded the
better, but apples may be delayed till
the 10th of September, so may peaches,
This work must be done while the stock
is growing, so that the bark will peel
readily; and it is desirable to do it just
long enough before the growth of the
season ceases to allow the bud to be-
come firmly joined to the stock. If it
is done too early the bud will make a
tender growth, which will be like to win
ter kill, and if the work be neglected
till the growing season is about to close
the bud will not join, and thus the
work will be lost.
The bud should be taken from wood
of this years growth, as they unite
with the stock mnch more readily than
those from old wood. Indeed it it SO
difficult to make buds from old wood
take that it is seldom attempted.
1t is often the case that farmer
could, by spending little time in bud
ding very greatly increase the variety
of fruit on his place. Perhaps some
young apple tree has borne one or two
years and the fruit proved to be worth
less. Let four or five buds of some val
liable variety be judiciously set, so as
to form well balanced top when the
original branches are removed.

o tender Father! is it sin
To love thy noblest creatures thus,
Although no answering love we win?
Art Thou not ever leading us?
And hast Thou sent this love to me,
To calm my heart tumutuous,
And guide me, through my grief, to Thee
. let me love him to the end
Most purely; and perchance some day
He'll take my hand and call me friend,
When time for love is passed away;
When eyes that shine when he is near
Are dim; when golden locks are gray ;
And death, the angel, draweth near.
