From the Southern Cultiyator.1
 Savlng Bacon.

In higher latitude, I suppose, there is little difficulty in saving bacon, but there is, here and South of this. know thou sands of pounds are, if not totally lost, much injured yearly. Hogs of any size should not be killed in unsettled weather. The wind should blow from the north west and ice, be, in favorable places, at least half an inch thick, to constitute what we consider a good spell. The operation of killing, scalding. scraping, should be hurried through as rapidly as possible in order that those who have charge of the lard department may get the fat in time to finish drying" the day of killing, as this will cause the lard to be sweeter.
 The hogs should be cut up as soon as possible, after the days killing has been accomplished, and every piece covered with all the salt that will lay on it without falling off, and spread over the smoke house, so that the animal heat may have an opportunity of escaping by morning Should the weather unexpectedly turn warm, prefer letting it lay spread until the second morning after being killed, in order to be certain that the animal heat is out of it. then have each piece we'll
 
 rubbed with wet salt, on both sides wet the salt with boiling red pepper tea. Whether red pepper exerts any influence in saving the meat, I cant say, but even suppose it does not, it gives the meat a good flavor, and, by the salt being wet, causes it effects on the meat to be deyel- oped more rapidly, which should be the object in every instance, as ours is a changesble and uncertain climate --cold to-day and warm tomorrow. use about teaspoonful each, of soda and saltpetre, to each joint, sprinkled on the flesh side directly over the bone. Pack the pork in boxes or hogsheads, as close as possi- ble. use a sack of Liverpool salt to the thousand pounds of pork, determining that, if my pork does spoil, it shall not be for the want of salt but it does not spoil, and l never saw q tainted piece managed in this way. After remaining in salt from three to five weeks, l rub thick paste, composed of finely ground pepper and came syrup, over the flesh side of each joint. Over this sprinkle fine meal or fou, and pat it with the hand gently as it will stick hang 1t up l do not believe a skipper would trouble it in five years.

Influence of Newspapers.

A school-teacher, who has been en- gagged for a long time in his profession, and witnessed the influence of news paper upon the minds of q family of children, writes as follows:
 1 have found it to be the universal fact, without exception, that those scholars of both sexes, and of all ages, who have access to newspapers at home, when compared to those who have not, are:
 l. Better readers, excellent in pro- nunciation, and consequently read more understandingly.
 ?. They are better spoilers, and define words with ease and accuracy.
 3. They obtain practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires of others, as the newspaper has made them acquainted with the To. cation of the important places of na- tions, their governments and doings on tine globe.
 4. They are better grammarians for having become so familiar with every variety fstyle in the newspapers, from the commonplace advertisement to the finished and classical oration of the statesman, they more readily compre- bend the meaning of the text, and con stantly analyze its construction with accuracy.
 ,. They write better compositions using better language containing more thoughts, more clearly and more con nectediy expressed.
 Those young men who have for years been readers of newspapers are always taking the lead in the debating socic. ties. exhibiting more extensive owledge upon greater variety oi subjects, and expressing their views with greater fucncy, elearness and correctness in the use of language.

Brother Cra.vford,s sermon.

I A Southern exchange gives this as the first sermon off new minister in q l village in that section. He began i apologetically as follows: I You don't see me to-day in the dress allers wear; come among you as a stranger and am now tricked out in my store clothes. I am not proud man, but thought it would be more becoming among strangers. l After this he raised | hymn in which the congregation joined. He then be- gan his sermon:
 My dear brethren and sisters, first and foremost, I'm guinc to tell you the affeetin partin had with my congre- gation at Bethel Chapel After had got through with my farewell sermon as come down outen the pulpit, the old gray-headed brethren and sisters who listened to my voice twenty years, crowded round me and with sobbing voices and fearful eyes, said Farewell, brother Crawford!
 As l walked down the aisle, the young ladies, tricked out in their finery, brass jewelry, geegaws, jim- cracks, paints and flounces, looking up with their bright eyes, and pronounced with their rosy lips-Farewell, broth .er Crawford.
 The young men, in their tight pants, boots, high collars and dashy waist coats, smelling of pomatum and cigar smoke-with shanghai coats and stri- ped Zebra pants-they, too, said. Farewell, brother Crawfordl
 The little chi!dren-lambs in the fold lifted up their tiny hands and small voices, and with one accord said Farewell, brother Crawford
 The colored brethren of the congre- gaiion now came forward (back sheep who had been admitted to the fold un- der my ministry) with tears running down their cheeks, they too said Farewell, brother Crawford!
 As l got on my horse and bade adiou to my congregation forever, l turned to take a last look at the church where 1 had preached more than twenty years, and as gazed at its di- lapidated walls anu moss covered roof, it seemed to say-E'arewell, brother Craw ford
 As rode through the village, the people who poked their heads out of the windows, and the servants who leant on their brooms. all seemed to say-Farcwell brother Crawford!
 As 1 passed along down the high way, through the forest, the wind. as 1t sighed and whislled through the tree tops, playing On the leaves and branch es the burden of salvation, ttoo secm- ed 10 say Farewell, brother Craw- tordl
 Crossing little creek that was gur- gling and singing over it's pebbly bed, as it rejoiced on ifs way to the great ocean of eternity, it too seemed to say Farewell, brother Crawford.
 As l rode along down hot, dusty lane, an old SOW that was asleep in fence corner jumped out of sudden with loud, broo-too, broo-too; she too seemed to say-Fareweh, brother Craw ford!
 My horse got frightened and jumped from under me, and as he curled his tail over his back-kicked up his heels and ran off; he too seemed to say Farewell, brother Crawiordl

 FISHING FOR MIcE.-There are seve- ral ways of catching rats and mice, but in these days, when there is q rage for everything new, perhaps the following anecdote, related by country corres- pondent, may furnish the hint of an original mode of capturing these ami mals:
 Several years since my cousin, Miss -, used to keep district school. Among those who attended it was a little boy of perhaps four years fage, but too young to speak plain. One day, while the others were at their studies, he got possession of pin and string. He bent the pin into the form of q fish hook, tied the string to it, and put on it a small piece of cheese. He had seen q mouse come up through q hole in corner of the hearth, and set himself to bob for it as fit were fish. He was observed and asked by my cousin what he was doing. Fishing for mousse was his reply. As this pastime was not allowed in schoo. hours, the teacher, by way of punish ment, ordered him to continue bobbing for the mouse. So the little fellow sat as grave as a judge, bobbing away, until soon the mouse took strong hold of the cheese. and the boy giving a sudden pull, sprang into the middle of the room, and swinging the mouse around his head, aston.shed the whole school with the exclamation, I thwar, I've got him."

One rAssS Maria.

There was funny little episode on the car that helped to arouse us. At Montana a young man and young woman came on board of the sleeping car, and the former said "Sec here. Mir. Conductor, l want one of your best hunks for this young woman and one for myself individually. One will do for us when we git to the Bluffs, hey. Marier? Ca playful and affection ate poke al 'Marier with his elbow, to which she replies, now, John, quit!D for you see we're goin' to git married at Marier's uncle's when We git there. We might been married at Montana ny, but we took habit to wait till we got 10 the Bluffs, beln' as Marier's uncle is minister, and they charge q gop fired price for hitchin folks at Montan- n.y." Maria was assigned to one of the "best punks, and John was given one not far away. After time the inmates of the car were all slowed away in their berths to go through the inevita- ble alternations of sweltering and freezing.
 During stoppage of the train at one station the voice of John was heard, raised in pleading accents, all uncon- scious that the the train had stopped, and that tones which the noise of the rattling wheels had drowned while the cars were moving, could be distinctly heard by all when they had stopped.
 Now, Mari, you might give feller jes' one kiss"
 "John, you quit, or I'll git right out here and Hoor t back to Montanny in the snowstorm.'
 "Only one little kiss, Marier, and I'll go; hope to die'f don't"
 "John !-"
 Just at that interesting moment a gray head protruded from berth at the other end of the car, and an old man cried out so that all could hear, "Marier, for Gods sake give John ono kiss, so that we can go to sleep some 1 time to-night.'
 | It is needless to remark that peal of 1 laughter rang from ono end of the car 10 the other, under cover of which ohn slunk back 10 the solitary seclusion of his "buas, leaving Maria to the un- disturbed possession of her marriage licenoe, which she interpreted to per init no license to John, until accompa- nied by the proper certificate. And Maria was right---Fat Contributor.

 "Wen, want real lively fellow: put him on that root" pointing to the lower knob of a very tall oak, '.and let's see if he will stir himself.n
 No sooner said than done, and the coon went up the tree like greased streak of lightning. "Yeu satisfied boss, he's lively?"
 "Well yes; but I don't want coon in tree trop.''
 The freedman looked up the tree. whistled. and scratched his head for an idea, and said, sWell boss, dat coon is like carpet-bagger, werry promising when he's down, but when he's up ain't no use to nobody"

SMALL Pox.-From extended and close observation, the following gen eral deductions seem to be warranted {:
 l. lnfantile vaccination is an almost perfect safeguard, until the fourteenth year.
 ?. At the beginning of fourteen, the system gradually loses its capability of resistance, until about twenty-one, when many persons become almost as liable to small pox as ii they had not been vaccinatcd.
 3. This liability remains in full force until about forty-two. when the suscep- ,ibility begins to decline and continues for seven years to grow less and less, becoming extinct at about fifty, the pe- riod of life, when the general reyolu- ton of the body begins to take place, during which the system yields 10 de- cay, or takes new lease of life, for two or three terms, of seven years each.
 f. The great practical use to he made of these statements is-Let youth be -vaccinatcd on entering fourteen. Let several attempts be made, SO as to be certain of safety. As the malady is more liable to prevail in cities during winter, special attention is invited to the subject at this time.-Hall's Jour ral of Health.
