From the Lafayette dad Journal, Jan g. A Mother Barters Away Her
 Daughter,s Honor.

We have been made acquainted with the details of an affair so terrible in its iniquity that we should hardly credit il but that it comes SO, straight there is, we fear, little room to doubt its truth. The particulars in tho case are quite unfit for publication, Suffice it to say that day or two since the daughter of a widow re- siding in the Fourth Ward, near the verge of Linwood, acquainted neighbor with the facts which we shall relate. She stated that her mother had deliberately bargained for her dishouor with clerk in downtown establishment, in pursuance of which bargain he had come to the house the evening before. The unnatural mother locked all the doors and left them alone together, when her struggles were overcome by main strength. The girl resisted with all her power, and some of the neighbors remembered having heard unusu1l noises. and as they thought, smothercd streams proceeding from the house on the night in question, but investigated no further into the matter until made acquainted with the facts we have stated by the hesrt-broken victim. The girl is about seventeen years of age, and was engaged to be married shortly to most worthy young man The neigh bors, we understand, have taken the mat ter in hand, aud are determined to learn the full particulars of the Gendish outrage If the facts are as we have bean informed. and stated above, they should not let the matter rest until every particular of the transaction is brought out, and the name of the scoundrel who would thus barter for human soul, and of the worse than heather mother who would deliberately sell her daughter to pcrditon, dragged to light and published to the world. The grand jury sits on Monday. If there is anything in the matter they should surely Gnd it out

Hospitality.

Bayard Taylor thinks man is natu- rally an hospitable animal" and de- scribes the difference between the na- lures of the English, French and Ger mans:
 You arrive in England stranger, and present letter of introduction to some gentleman. His reception strikes you as cold and formal; he makes no special offers of assistance, and you are inclined to think that his acquaintance will be of little service. By and by, however, you will find that he has been silently interesting himself in your behalf. He has remembered wishes that you have carelessly uttered and procured you opportunities for realizing them; the want of demon stration has been more than compen- sated by solid service.
 In Paris you find just the reverse. Nothing can surpass the empressement with which you are received. Every thing is at your disposal; you will makesthe man happy by the freest use of his time and trouble. Nevertheless you must beware of taking these offers literally, unless you are prepared fol disappointment. The outgush of be- nevolence has exhausted the capacity for action. A few elegant cards arc exchanged, md the matter rests. In Germany we have the medium between the two extremes-a genial cordial manner, moderate proffers oi service. and conscientious perform ance thereof, whenever it is needed Acts of kindness between strangers are more common than in almost any other civilized country.

A wife Wanted.

Somebody who wants wife pub- fishers the following advertisement in a St. Louis paper:
 WANTED.--I have lived solitary long enough. l Want some one to talk at, quarrel with--then kiss and make up again. Therefore, am ready to re- ceive communication from young la dies and blooming widows of more than average responsibility, tolcrably tame in disposition, and hair, of any color.
 As nearly as can juge for myself I am not over eighty, nor under twenty five years of age. 1 -am either five feet eight or eight feet five l forget which. Weigh 135 3l5, or 53l, pounds-one the three-recol- feet each figure perfectly well but as to their true arrangement l am somewhat puzzled. Have whole suit of hair, dyed by nature and free from dandruff. Eyes butternut brindle, tinged with pea green. Nose blunt, according to Ionic order of architecture, with a touch of the composite, and mouth be- tween a catfish's and alligators made especially for oratory and the reception of large oysters. Ears palmated, long and elegantly shaped. My whiskers are a combination of dogs hair, moss and briar bush-well behaved, fear fully luxuriant.
 l am sound in limb and on the negro question. Wear boot No. 9 when corns are troublesome, and can write poetry by the mile, with double rhyme on both edges-to read backwards, for wards, crosswise or diagonally. Can play the Jews harp or bass drum, and whistle Yankee Doodle in Spanish. Am very correct in my morals, and first rate at tenpins, have great regard for the Sabbath, and never drink unless invited. Am domestic animal and perfectly docile when towels are clean and shirt-buttons all right. l possess a pre-eminating virtue, is that of for giving every enemy whom l deem too hazardous to handle. I say prayers. every night, musouiters permitting as to whether snorc in my sleep want somebody to tell. Money is no object, as l Ieyer was troubled with it and never expect to be. l sould like some lady who is perfectly able to support husband, or if she could introduce me to q family where religious example would be considered sufficient compen- sation for board, it would do just as well.

stock Raising in the south.

It is often remarked that the farmer is moro independent than any other class of people, because he can raise what he wants It is true that almost all his req sonable wants may be supplied by the farm, and it should be his aim to supply as many of them as possible
 One of the most interesting as well as the most profitable branches of farming, especially at distance from market, is stock raising To this branch of agricul- ture we at this time more particularly in vite the attention of our readers. Their system of agriculture has been confined to the growing of few staples crop, for the sales of which they were principally de- pendent upon foreign market How ever remunerative these sales may have been, much of the proceeds had to be ex- pended in procuring many of the neces- sities as we'll as the luxuries to be consum- ed in the family that might have been grown on the plantation and then how sweet the sensation in consuming that which our own hands has aided in pro- ducing
 A freshness in added to the zest which is always wanting in the consumption of a foreign article.
 The mild climate and rich soil of the South seem peculiarly adapted to the raising of stock. To begin right is to be- gin with the very best stock in the coun- try, The additional outlay is at first a little heavier, but that is soon repaid when you have some to sell It may be prudent to not invest too largely at first, so that experience will be gained as the business increases, for all branches of business re- quire some experience as well as theory. In the stock business, some attention must be paid to tho growing of grass. This is the natural food of most kinds of stock, and the cultivation of the artifciar grass will be indispensable to complete success
 Why should farmer in the South buy meat for his family? He can have fresh meat on his table every day in the year, grown and fattcd on his plantation-either beef pork, lamb, veal, mutton or poultry Docs he have that now
 
 The raising, of stock requires attention, close attention--but giving this attention is so interesting that it brings its own re- ward with it.
 The weak must be looked after and assisted the unruly must be calmed and controlled; the herdsman should be familiar with every animal under his care, and every animal should recognize him as a friend, and feel happy in his presence,
 However mild the climate may Le, there are times in the year when stock should bave some protection from the clements, especially the young, the weak and the sick. Many dollars worth will be saved by afiording this kind of protection. The owner of the plantation must not trust too much to hirelings-he must give this matter his own personal attention, and just here is where he will realize the puriost pleasure, and this will lead to profit American Stock Journal.

The Evening uearthstone,

Gladly now we gather round it,
 For the toiling day is done, And the gray and solemn twilight
 Follows down the golden sun; Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
 Stalk like giants through the gloom, Wander past the dusky easement. Creep around the ire-lit room; Draw the curtains--close the shutters
 Place the slippers by the fire Though the rude wind loudly mutters.
 What care we for wind-sprite's ire' What care we for outward seeming--
 Pickle fortunes frown or smile, If around us love is beaming,
 Love can human ills beguile. Meath the cottage roof and palace,
 From the peasant to the king, All are quaffing from life's chalice
 Bubbles that enchantment bring; Crates are glowing--music flowing
 From those lips we love the best; o, the joy, the bliss of knowing
 There are hearts on which to rest. Hearts that throb with eager gladness-- Hearts that echo to our own With which care and haunting sadness
 Mingle ne'er in look or tone; Care may tread the hall of daylight
 Sadness haunt the midnight hour But the weird and witching twilight
 Brings the glowing hearthstone's dowes, Altar of our holiest feelings
 Childhoods well-remombe shrine; Spirit-yearnings, soul-revealings,
 Wreaths immortal round thee twine.

In our own country, Ben Franklin was a printer, and was not born with gold spoon in his mouth. He wandered about the streets of Phil adelphia for work, with loaf of bread under his arm, but kings sat at his feet and listened to his words of wisdom. Jackson was so obscure that 1t is not known when or where he was born, or whether he had any parents.

A NOTED CoRNER.-The Astor House corner is one of tho most famous meet ing places in New York, and certainly the most frequented. It is reckoned that one hundred and twenty thousand people pass that corner every day on foot, and about sixty-five thousand in carriages and omnibuses, making to- tai of one hundred and eighty-fiyc thousand passengers. Sixty thousand vehicles roll by it in day. From four in the afternoon to half past five, one hundred pass in a minute. In Barclay street are two lines of street cars the Broadway and Central Park, and the seventh Avenue, and Central Park-having between them seventy four cars, which give a fraction of over one minute. This relieves Broadway of many thousands per hour. Lovers, loafers, brokers, gam blers, and the countless numbers all going off somewhere to 'meet a man," turn up very often at this corner.

 How TO SUccEED.--If we wish to see what labor does in the world mentally as we'll as physically and morally we are to compare civilization with bar barism, it is labor alone that has made this difl'erence--labor to direct, as we'll as to do. Thus schools have been insti- tuted. This was for the improvement of the mind for without mind to direct the great civilization could never have been accomplished. It was therefore mind first, showig the necessity of mental advantage. To see the force of this more particularly. we are but to have steady eye on the work; no confusion; one by one added and ar ranged. Itis but using the alphabet so to speak-not the great thing we deem ed it to be mastered by the few, by the favored, a complicated machinery. Do what is before us; do it one by one stea- dily, and we shall succeed-we must succeed.
