A MOTHERS REWARD.

A gentleman was once visiting o
cottage, where the mother of the fam
lily was true and earnest Christian.
During the conversation he remark
ed how happy she must be to see
every one of her children (and there
were eight of them) 80 early brought
to the Saviour's feet, and following
him 80 closely in their daily lives ;
and he inquired whether she had
adopted any peculiar method in their
religious instruction. The poor wo-
man replied that she had only done
what every Christian mother ought
to do; but on her visitor pressing her
still further, she continued with much
humility:
~ think I may cay I never fed my
infant children without praying in my
heart that God would give mo grace
to nourish them as inheritors of the
kingdom Of heaven. Whilst I was
dressing them in the morning, used
to beseech my heavenly Father to
clothe them with the robe Of Christ's
Righteousness; when I prepared their
meals, I asked God to feed their souls
with true bread from heaven, and to
give them to drink of that living wa
ter, which springeth up unto ever
lasting life; when took them to the
Lords house, prayed to him to
sanctify them, and to make then.
temples of the Holy Ghost: when
they left my side for school, I follow
ed them with my eyes, praying that
their lives might be like the path of
the just, which shineth more and more
unto the perfect day; and in the
evening, when the hour Of rest ar
rived, I used in silence to ask their
heavenly Father to bless them, and
keep them safely in his everlasting
arms"
And truly this mother was reward
ed for hor patient waiting upon God,
richly and fully rewarded. O that

The Peanut.

The spread of the culture of the
peanut since the war has been re-
markable. Ever siLce we can recol-
lect, a few Of the farmers in the neigh
borhood Of our city have been in the
habit Of raising "patches" TO a limited
extent, but they never mado more
than they could put into one or two
carts and send to the daily market in
Norfolk. During ten years before the
war few went so far as to plant two
or three acres; but still the amount
raised was so inconsiderable as not to
be entitled to the namo of staple.
Ono of the results of the war has
been to change tho crops in this re-
gion. The uncertainty of labor has
compelled the farmers to cultivate
plants that require less ground and
less labor to produce a given amount
of money. The culture of corn is
not, as form ~, 80 exclusively carried
on as to o ross the whole attention
of farmers. 1t is found to be losin 2
business to put mans farm entirely
in a cereal that costs SO much more to
cultivate it in tho way of fences, ma
nurel and labor than almost any
growth that could be substituted for
it. Moreover, the citizens of African
descent have an uncomfortable pro-
pensity for stealing corn in any shape,
from tho roasting-ears to the stores
in the crib.
1t has been found that the peanut
will bring far more money to the
acre than Indian corn, and it has
within the last three years been intro
duced very extensively into the coun.
ties from this city to Petersburg. The
money received for the crop in this
city has been during tho last year
upwards of one million of dollars
far more than what was received for
the corn produced on the same farms
before the war. Peas of the best
quality have commanded in our mar
ket So bushel, and an acre we'll pre-
pared will bring fifty bushels, or $50
But this is not the best that has been
done. A fine article has produced
$3.15 and somo of the lands peculiar
ly we'll manared have produced seven
ty-five bushels, or, in money, s238
to the acre. Now, these are not so
large sums by good deal as are pro-
duced by trucks and berries; but
they show that peanuts are very
fair crop, notwithstanding.
The planting and raising arc very
simple. The light soil of the coun-
ties south Of James river seem espec-
tally adapted to it. This has to be
enriched with lime and scrapings from
the forests, &C., with moderate por.
tion Of guano. The lime should be
used to the extent Of ton bushels to
the acre, and the guano ct about the
rate Of ten pounds to the hundred
yards ofthe rows. The peas should
be- planted eighteen inches apart and
one inch deep. The season for plant
ing is about the first of May. ~,
The raising Of this plant is ex
tremely well adapted. to the present
transition state Of our agriculture.

Saddening Words.
j. W. CRA W FORD.
Bold SPRING, Pickens Co., S. G.

There are many euphonious words
in the English language-more per-
haps than in any other modern tongue
except the Italian-of which the
sound 80 harmonizes with the sense,
that they charm at once the ear and
the heart. The vocal body, so to
speak, with which the sentiment is
clothed, seems rs appropriate to it as
a lovely countenance to the possessor
Of beautiful mind.
"Home," "Love," "Slumber," "Ca-
ress," Welcome" belong to this cate
CORY; but it is in certain pathetic
expressions that the agreement of
sound and sentiment strikes us as
most perfect. Poe said that "Never-
moro" was the most mournful of all
words; Byron gave the same melan-
choly pre-eminence to Farewell" and
DR.. Johnson thought that of all phra-
ses '"The last" was the most touching.
"The last look"-''the last sigh
"the last Of Earth )" these are GER
tainly solemn and affecting utterances;
but We think, with a late writer, that
there is more real pathos in the "gone"
than in any other in the language.
To use Spanish, or rather Moorish,
metaphor, it 10 full Of tears" How
it appalls the sense and desolates the
