WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT.

Through the weary day on his couch he lay,
With the life blood ebbing slowly away,
And the dew on his cold brow gathering fast,
As the endulum- numbered moments passed,
And heard a SAD voice whispering say,
hen the tide goes out he will pass away,
Pray for a souls serene release
That the weary spirit may rest in peace,
When the tide goes out.
When the tide goes out from the sea girt
laEdG,
It bears strange freight from the cleaning
sands
The white winged ships that silent wait
For the aming wave, and wind that's late
be treasures cast on a rocky shore,
From the stranded ships that shall sail no
more;
And hopes that follow the shining seas,
Oh the oC can shuil W in all these
When the tide goes out.
But all that drift from the shore to the sea,
Ia the human soul to Eternity
Floating away from Il silent shore,
Like iated ship to return no more,
Saddest. most solemn of all, a soul,
p using Where unknown waters roll.
8 here she'll the suIging currents tend,
Slowly drifting friend from friend,
When the tide goes out
For our parting spirit pray, oh pray,
While the tide OF life is ebbins away,
That the soul may pass Ger SUMNER seas
Than clasped of old the Hesperides.
A bark whose sail by angel hands
Shall b. furled on u str. nj of golden sands /;
And the friends that stand on u silent shore,
Know ing that we shall return no more,
Shall wish US Joy of a voyage fair.
With calm sw eeC skies and n faVoring air,

AN ACT OF HERoIsM IN THE Pres
ENcE OF Two ARMIES. AT the battle
of New Hope Church, fought late in
May, 1864, an incident occurred that
attracted the attention and elected the
praise Of two gallant armies. This Incl
dent is rather obscurely hinted at, in an
otherwise admirable notice of the late
Col. VIM. II. Martin, of the Confederate
army, which appeared recently.
In the battle referred to, the Federals
along one portion of the line had met
with disastrous repulse. The ground
as is always the case in pine forests
was covered with fallen leaves. These
had been set on fire during the action,
and the repulse of the Federals having
been sudden and decisive, they necessari-
ly left their wounded, who lay thick in all
portions of the woods, exposed 10 more
terrible ordeal than that of battle merely.
They were about to die in the flames,
when Col. Martin, taking the lead him
self, ordered his men from the fortifica
tions, when with switches they whipped
out the fire. At the time they left their
positions, heavy firing from the restor
ed Federal line was going on, but of
course this ceased soon as it became man
ifest that the Confederates were engaged
in a work of humanity to their fallen en-
emies.
As we have stated, this act upon the
part Of Col. Martin was for awhile the COM
mon topic of conversation in two great
armies, and there are very many who
will remember it distinctly. One who
knew all things deep and true, and sad
and strange in human life, has said that
the word 'sHonor' is made lying slave
on many a tomb, while it is often dumb
over the resting place Of ''honOred bones
indeed" That it may not be thus with
Col Martin, whose unknown grave is in
the sands of fair, foreign river, we seek
in simple justice to his memory, to re-
call gentle and knightly incident of bis
life, which cleaned out like star from
the deep murk and gloom of a sanguinAry
war.

A sheep Is about as big as q dog,
though they are better than dogs, cause
dogs kill sheep, but sheep don't kill dogs,
except once when q man wanted to cure
his dog of killing sheep, and so held him
and LET an old sheep butt him until he
broke his bones into little fine pieces,
about as big as tooth and so that was
the way the dog got broke; and 1 guess
he wished he had learned some other bus
iness besides butchering-don't you
There are mostly two kinds of sheep,
ewes and rams. There are principally
several kinds of rams also. There is the
battering ram they had in the olden time
to knock at the gates of cities when they
wanted TO come in. Then there's the
ram that they ram down guns with, 0
wish had gun.) and the hydraulic ram
that they ram up water with. Sometimes
when they wanted to knock down folks
walls in the Bible, they didn't have whole
rams enough to batter them down, and
they had to take rams horns and blow
them down. That they did with the walls
of Jerry Coe. don't know whether be
was any relation to the phosphate of lime
man or not. There is two kinds of sheep,
the South Down, that they have down
South, and the Merino, which is the
Spanish for marine, cause they come over
the sea. They keep the sheep for their
mutton, which is good, when they can't
get turkey, though generally they all
jump out and run away, DO that they
can't keep them.
The way to make them jump is to tie
old barrel slaves to their legs as letters -
The fetters scare them, and they jump to
get away from them. Sheep are troubled
with wool growing all over them, so in
the hot weather they cut it off to keep
them cool. suppose they would have 10
cut off at any rate to get at the mutton.
They spin up the wool into stockings on
Lambs knitting machine, though some
times the grandmotbers knit them with
needles, which, think is the best way,
because it keeps them quiet, and they
won't bother US boys SO much. When
sheep jump and run, one always follows
the rest. / mean the rest always follow
the one If the leader should jump thro'
a key>hole, or over the moon, the rest
would all follow, which l think is very
bright i'll the sheep and in other folks who
always follow the leader; of course the
leader is always right. Lambs are kept
for their innocence, which 1 think don't
pay, very much, though they do gamboI
all the time, which isn't 30 innocent,
though l suppose they are the blackleg
lambs. forgot to mention that there is
another kind of sheep called goats, which,
when you put up at night, have to be
kept separate from the real sheep-the
sheep on the right and the goats on the
left. / don't know as know any more
about sheep, though Cousin Dod does,
cause he keeps 'em, and has got 'em so
they'll jump first rate too.

Duties Of Farmers.

Farming is not only a profession,
but of all professions in embraces the
widest range of scientific PROPOSE
tons and practical facts, and affords
the widest field for the exercise of
the phIlosophic and analytic mind.
Instead of the brightest boys being
sent to medical college for a field
worthy of their talents, they should
be educated practically in the duties
of agriculture.
1t is prominent duty of the farmer
so TO pursue his calling as to inspire
a respect for 1t in the minds of his
children and SO train them that they
shall bc able to pursue it successful
", which can only be effected by his
awaiting himself of every advantage
resulting from the discoveries of
science and the accumulated expert
ence of the past. This will at once
strip farming of almost every dis
agreeable feature, and clothe it with
attractions possessed by 10 other
business.
AS at present conducted there is a
large amount of very disagTeeablt
labor required to be performed il
farming, and it is mainly to this fact
that we owe the desertion of thai
business for others by country boy $
Science and human skill must relieve
this, and undoubtedly will, if the
farmer will avail himself of theil
aids.-Erchdnge.

Improving Garden Soil.

1t must not be forgotten that
every plant, however small or feeble,
takes something from the richness
of the surrounding earth. In order,
therefore. to keep up the fertility of
the garden without mourning annual
expense for fertilizers, it is well to
have an Out-Of-way corner where
withered plants, refuse vegetables,
the litter from poultry houses, bones,
ashes, sawdust, SCOT, movings of
grass, dead leaves, and all such
things may be thrown. This COM
post heap should be under cover /;
and if care be taken to store up all
refuse materials there the result will
be a good quantity of vegetable ma
nure-the best fertilizer for the flow.
er garden and orchard in the follow
ing spring. Before it is used, have
some fresh lime, slaked with brine
till it falls to powder. sprinkled over
the compost, which should be turned
over two or three times, and it is
then ready for use, mixed with
double its quantity Of earth.-Farm-

Hints for Husbands.

When a man has a wife and child
rem, the most important duties of
his life have fairly begun. The er-
rors of bis youth may be obliterated,
the faults of his early days may be
overlooked but from the moment of
his marriage he commences to write
an effable history not by pen and
ink, but by deeds, by which he must
ever afterwards be reported and
judged. His conduct at home, his
care for his family, the training of
his children, his attentions to his
wife, his devOtions to the great in
terests of eternity; these by which
his character will ever afterwards be
estimated by all who think or care
about him. These will determine
his position while living, and infiu-
ence his memory when the grave has
closed over him. And as he uses
well or i'll the brief space allotted to
him, out of all eternity, to establish
fame founded upon the most solid
of fOundatiOns-private wOrth-sO
will God and man judge of him. He
holds in his hands the private veal
and woe of his wife and children !;
and if he abuses this most holy, God
given trust, he cannot hope for mer-
cy hereafter. Many a child goes
astray, simply because home lacks
sunshine. Many wife esteems
death her best friend, because he
who swOre before God to "love,
honor and cherish has forgotten

How to Improve Cotton.

your seed any way you prefer, cover
with a pillow. When the first is up
well, run a broad or light harrow

and if done the same way with the
second growth that comes up. so
much the better; then the last that

To CLEAN PAINTS There is
very simple method to clean most
any kind of paint that has become
dirty, and if our housewives should
adopt it, it would save them a great
deal of trouble. Provide a plate,
with some of the best whiting to be
bad. and have ready some clean
warm water with cloth, and squeeze
nearly dry then take as much whit
ing as will adhere to it, apply it to
the painted surface, when little
rubbing will instantly remove any
dirt or grease. After which, wash
tie part well with clean water, rub
bIng it dry with soft channels.
Paint thus cleaned looks as well as
when first laid on, without any in
jury to the most delicate colOrs. 1t
is far better than using soap, ami
does not require more than half the
time and labor.

KoopmanshOOp's Project.

Koopmanshoop, the COolie con-
tractor, proposes to precipitate the
solution of the Chinese problem by
a bold stroke; for. whereas hitherto
all the CoOlie labOrers for the South
have been drawn from California, he
proposes to import them directly
from China to the Southern planta-
tiOns in large bodies, letting those
now on the Pacific coast remaiI..
What general policy should be
adopted OH the question is a matter
for grave consideration but that the
Chinese are capable of varied aud
effective work seems to he cOnced ed
on all hands. Senator Wade has at
tested his surprise at their skill in
the manufacture of WOODEN fabrics;
that the Chinese are excellent cooks
is familiar experience their rougher
labor is mining and OH the Central
Pacific Railroad is well known to
have been very acceptable and salts
factory; and late writer says that
you may now find them also Gin pa
per and powder mills +; in the borax
works; i'll the hop plantations, fruit
orchards and vineyards ; following
the reaping machines on farms and
working the salt pits on the coast"
Indeed it is the very fact of their
versatility, threatening 10 enter and
perhaps control many branches of
labor or manufacture, that has caus-
ed the restrictive laws to be made
against them in California. 1t is
also in this view that the new project
of importing them by large quaint
ties into the South becomes a very
important one. In that case, though
primarily plantation hands would
be brought over, yet, under the
guarantees of good treatment and
protection which they would be like
ly to receive, many skilled artificers
might follOw-if for nothing else, at
least to supply the various commu-
mites OF their own cOuntrymen with
the products of their work. In this
way a powerful competition with
both the white labor and the freed
man labor of the South would be
created, and this might III time ex
tend through the country. 1t is in
this view that the deliberations and
the measures of the Memphis Con
ventlon become not only locally and
commercially, but nationally import
ant, and will be watched with great
interest.-N. 7. Times.

Protection Against Drought.

The best protection against
drought that can be practiced to a
great extent with advantage, is stir
ring the earth frequently to keep it
light, loose and mellow. Observa-
ton and experiments OH the subject
have demonstrated the good effects
of stirring the soil in dry time in
a most striking manner. When land
that had not been plowed nor stirred
in any way was dry down ten inches,
and there scarcely any moisture
could be preceived, land by the side
of it, plOwed and frequently hOed,
was moist within a few inches of the
top in a very severe drought. The
earth should not be drawn up around
the plants, to make high hills, but
should be broken around them with
- hoe. This treatment will be found
very beneficial to corn or potatoes,
in case of drought.
