H. There are dances which though fash
ionable, have ever seemed to me immodest,
unchaste, and indelicate. The evils of balls,
too, are very apparent. But think it neces-
sary to discard dancing of every kind, if for
no other reason than that it leads inevitably
to these higher excesses as all experience and
observation show We are commanded not
to put ourselves in the way of temptation, to
check the beginnings of sin, "touch not, taste
not, handle not, to "avoid even the appear
ance ofevil." joyfully surrender this world
ly pleasure. | am resolved never to dance
again, and am happier for my resolution.

EARLY TRAINING.

The impressions made on the minds OF chill
dren are more lasting than most of lis think
The history of those who have done most for
and against the interest Of society, prove this
conclusively. The promise that God makes
to every parent with reference to this subject
is "Train up a child in the way he should 60:
and when he is old, he will not depart from
it," Noparent can say that God is not faith
ful to fulfill this promise. Observation shows
that He does fulfill it both in temporal and
spiritual point Of view. Those parents who
train their children to habits of prodigality
ger orally see them consume their hard earn
ings in riotous living and those, on the con-
trary, who educate their offspring to habits OF
industry and economy, have the satisfaction
of seeing their sons and daughters associated
with the honorable of the earth.
The same principle exists in reference to
the moral training Of children. The over
whclming majority Of those who are the pill,
lars of society; who support the Gospel; who
have bright prospect for another world, re-
ceived their first impressions i'll early child,
hood. Sometimes the SONS of vagabond faith
ers make good merchants, farmers and me-
cianics but not often. Worthless and tri-
fling fathers are succeeded by more worthless
and more triAing sons. Slovenly mothers are
followed, in regular succession, by slattcrn
daughters. Sometimes drunken fathers have
sober sons, but not often. Sometimes impious
fathers have pious sons, but the case is an ex,
ception to the general rule. There is no limit
to Gods power, but He usually does not do
things by main force.
Little drops of water, little grains of sand:
Make the mighty ocean and the beuateous land.''
The little words and little deeds Of parents
train children either for Heaven or hell

RLOVING THE WHISTLE.

4 "Yankee story" heard by us some two
years ago in England, may not be new to our
readers, since the texture" seems to show the
ciS-Atlantic loom. In our opinion, however,
it is so good that we are tempted to give it at
the risk of its being a repetition:
An Americana veritable "Down EASTER
and not to be mistaken for any other stripe
was riding in an English railway carriage, his
sole companion being an Englishman, equally
unmistakable as typical "John Bull" They
were strangers to one another, and had trav
cled some five miles or more without word
passing between them.
The "whistle" was heard, interrupting their
unsociable meditations when the Yankee,
whose curiosity could not any longer be kept
in restraint, asked what it was for.
"Aw-awv yawned the British. "Signal
we are gawing to stop at station
Jonathan craned his neck out Of the win
dow, but could see no signs of a station. He
said to his travelling companion.
''Of course you cawn't see it, was the re-
ply. Its more than five miles from heaw.
Our railways make such speed, it is abso-
lutely necessary to sound the signal five miles
off, to give the engineer time to stop Oft his
steam, put on the bweak, and suspend the
motion. pwesume you don't make such

Jonathan, seeing that his nationality was dis
covered, 1--WE make considerable time t'other

do nohow. l deesti2ctly remember trayelin'
ona train atween Bosting and the Green
Mountngs Of Varmont, on which was con-
ductor who depended on his whistle. Wal,
as we were streakin' along, we seed bout ten
miles ahead tenn of oxen and wagon with
their driver whippin' 'em acrosst the rails:
Our conductor ordered the .loudest kind OF
screech put on the whistle; and that war the
last thing 1 heard 'ceptin' all fired smash,
that knocked sound out Of my ears, and day
light out of my eyes. reckon mus been
dead for more'n five minutes"
"When | kim to my senses agln, seed the
wagon lyin' on the railway track broke up in
10 Spokes, the oxen knocked into squash, and
the driver lyin' dead on the top Of EN- And
besides the hol of the railway cars war Oft the
track; the passengers crushed and squirmin' ,
and the conductor lyin' close by the engine,
lookin' as if he'd been drawn and quartered.
Jest at that minute the whistle he'd ordered
to be sounded bout ten miles back came past;
but it came too late. Yes, stranger; we tried
the thing in the States. 1t wouldn't do. 1t
want quick enough; and we're now using

John Bull, who as matter of course was
provided witha Times newspaper, made no re.
ioinder; but unfolding the broad sheet, and
raising it so as to hide his ruddy face, remain,
ed absorbed in its contents during the rest OF
the journey.

PRIDE OF AcREs.-Thc banc ofagriculture
in one half of the Republic is the idea that a
man who owns four hundred acres is Sprobably
four times as rich and prosperous as one who
owns and tills one hundred. AS general
practice, Southern and Western farmers have
depended on a hundred acres, ploughed three
inches deep, for three thousand bushels of
corn, when the same store could have been
gathered from fifty acres, ploughcd six inches
deep, and well manurcd.

ART OF GRINDING; TooIs-All steel, how
ever refined, is composed of individual fbres
laid lcngthwise in the bar, held firmly togeth-
er by cohesion; and in almost all farm I'M
plements of the kind, the steel portion which
forms the edge, if from section bar, is laid
and welded to the iron longitudnally, so that
it is the side of the bundle of fibres hammered
and ground down that forms the edge. Hence,
by holding on the grindstonc all cdge-tools, as
axes, drawing knives, kniyes Of reapers,
scytheS, knives Of Straw-cuttcrs, etc, i'll such 4
manner that the action of the stonce is at right
angles with the plane of the ed &C or i'll plain
er words, by holding the ed &c Of the tools
square across the stone, the direction of the

instead ofthc side as as cutting edge. BY
grinding in this manner finer, smoother
edge is set, the tool is ground in less time,
holds an edge great deal longer, and is far
less liable to 'nick out and brcak.-Ge

THE cow PEA.

We have long been satisfied, from actual
experiment, that the common cow pea of the
Southern States, when properly managed, af
fords the best, and, at the same time, the
cheapest medium for the restoration of our
exhausted cotton fields. Its effects have been
as lasting and as marked upon the fertility Of
our soils as that of clover upon the worn and
exhausted lands of Virginia and Maryland.
The main reason why the COW pea has not
been heretofore extensively used as tertll-
izer, was owing to the fact that previous to
emancipation our planters would not give up a
sufficient portion of their lands to await the
rather slow effects of this most valuable tertil-
zer. Now, however, when every planter has
large proportion of his poor lands lying idle,
there is no excuse why the pea should not be
set in every field not absolutely necessary for
corn or cotton.
Now is the best time to plant the pea, and
we desire to give our agricultural friends the
result ofa careful experiment made by plan
ter in Gwinnett county, to encourage them to
make similar efforts.
Our Gwinnett planter had a piece Of old
exhausted land, twenty acres Of which had
been lying in broom sage for number of
years. This he broke deep with turn pillow
| in the Summer and in the succeeding Fall
put down in wheat. The crop, carefully
measured, was little less than ,four bushels
to the acre.
As soon rs the wheat WAS cut, he sowcd peas
at the rate Of two bushels to the acre, Early
| in October the peas were turned under with
deep furrow, and few weeks later wheat was
sown and crefully narrowed in upon the pea
sod. The yield from the crop was nine bush
els to the acre, little more than double the
first years crop.
The field was again sown in peas as soon as
the wheat was harvested, and turned under
as before in the Fall, and wheat sown upon
the SOIL The yield this year was seventeen
and half bushels.
The fourth year, with the same treatment,
he made twenty-seven bushels and this (the
fifth Year, the crop bids fair to make forty
bushels Nothing has been applied to the
land as fertilizer except the COW pea alone,
the production has been increased tentoM.
This actual experiment speaks more for the
pea than any argument which we could make.
We trust some Of our planting friends will
be induced to try the pea on the next crop OF
wheat, and let us know the result of their cX-
pertinent. Chronicle q; Sentinel.
From actual experiment we are satisfied
that the COW pea is the best fertilizer, as a
green crop turned under, (not even excepting
red clover,) to be found in this or any other
country.-W Watchmm.

ECONOMY OF LABoR.-It is Of the utmost
importance that Southern labor should be
economiscd. 1t is we'll known that there are
several weeks during each year when laborers
in cotton fields are almost idle, and that few
colored females now go into the fields. For
idle laborers of every class, there should be
means Of employment. There are many ar
ticles which might be manufactured on every
cotton farm by its cultivators and their taml-
lies, at less cost than that at which they are
furnished, after its profits and transportation
are added, by Northern factories. There are
excellent and cheap griSt mills that require
little power, and brcoms and mats, in the
manufacture of which, colored people have
acquired great skill. Labor as well as mon
cv, must be saved or the South will never
grow rich Cloth, yarns, meal, dried fruit
and dried sweet potatoes, broom corn, molas-
ScS and divers other neceSSaries Of life might
be proftably made, when labor abandons the
fields, on every farm in the South.

How TO Kill. ANrS.-AS the season has
arrived for those pests, the ants, housewives
and others who are troubled with them may
prohabably use the following trap to advan-
tage: Procure Il large sponge, wash it we'll
and press it dry, which will leave the cells
quite open; then sprinkle over it some fine
white sugar, and place it where the ants are
troublesome. They will soon collect upon the
sponge and take up their abodcs in the cells.
It is only necessary to dip the sponge in <cald-
ing hot water, which will wash them out dead.
Put on more sugar and set the trap for another
haul; this process will soon clear the house of
every ant

nut will last longer, but no comparison. to
that cut in August Hickory cut in August
is not subject to be worm eaten, and will last a
long time for fencing. When began farm

for post fencing in the winter. White oak
posts and black oak rails, cut at that time,
would not last more than 10 or - years. In
