gether by the cord of friendship; may it be
one of the blessed helps to smooth the ru6ies
Of life so that the stitches that have hitherto
been ''sepn in tears" may be fringed with
the golden fruit of work well done; and when
at last the fell destroyer shall summons you
to fold the drapery of your couch about
you,' may you be hemmed in by that perfect
love which casteth out all fear.
With the warmest wishes for the prosperity
Of your beneficent institution, am,

Wire for Grape Trellises.

Will you please answer through your pa
per the following questions:
/. Which is the best mode of attaching
W re to a grape t@rellis, by staples or bor-
ing with an auger, and running it through
the posts?
2. Will galvanized wire last enough
longer to pay the difference in the price?
8. What number of wire is most desir-
able for a small grapery?
G.. S. FRENCH.
1. Many persons prefer staples for hold
ing vines to posts, or use nails or parts of
nails instead. Two nails age set in the
form of the letter X: the lower one is first
driven in a part of the way and wire laid
on, when both nails are driven until the
heads touch the wire. Common nails may
be used if first annealed, to prevent the
heads being torn off.
2. Galvanized wire will prove much the
cheapest in the end, besides it is free from
rust, which on common wire is constantly
soiling the clothing of all who come in
contact with it.
3. " ire of sizes known as Nos. 8 and
10, are most commonly used for horizon
tai trellising. Is feet of No. 8 wire will
weigh about one pound-No. 10, 20 feet
to the pound.

Attempt t. Kidnap a Wealthy
Cuban Citizen.

New York, March 2.-Inocencio Casa
nova, a well-known wealthy American citi-
zen. formerly of Cuba, who owns p%lanta-
tons on that island valued at So, 200 900,
visited Havana a few days since, per steamer
City of Mexico, from New York, for the
purpose of selling out his estates. He re-
ceived a formal permit from the Governor
of Havana to disembark, but upon land
ing was Immediately arrested and return
ed to the steamer, which was then on the
eve of departure for Vera Cruz. Inform
ed of a plot against his life among the
Spanish volunteers, he succeeded, Inder
cover of night. in getting to the steamer
Columbia, about to sail for New York. In
the morning a Spanish officer boarded the
Columbus to arrest him as a rebe,, but
the captain of the steamer would not per-
init his arrest while under the protection
of the American flag.
Shortly before the departure of the
steamer a small Spanish boat arrived along
side, with Casanova's daughter. who came,
accompanied by a guard, to tell him good
bye. Casanova stepped into the boat, not
expecting a plot to kidnap him, when an
order was given to shove off and a rush
made to seize him, but he jumped back
upon the Columbia and escaped. Friends
subsequently visited the United States
Consul Biddle and protested against the
outrage that official promised to advise
the State department forthwith. Casanova
has arrived here.

Glover is undoubtedly the most econom-
ical and valuable fertilizer that can be used
in the South. We frequently hear of far
mers sowing clover seed. but they complain
that it don't take, so that they lose their
seed consequently they become discour-
aged, and discontinue sowing their land,
saying they cannot afford to SOW seed to
be lost.
The price for seed is now high. The
times are said by many TO be hard. So
let us economic. If we should leave the
corn and wheat which we plant and sow,
lying on the top of the ground, they would
not take neither would our eabbages or
radishes, and other seeds which we sow in
our gardens, if left in the same way.
Sow your clover seed with spring barley
or oats (the former is better) Immediately
after narrowing the last time, which should
be thoroughly done. To have the ground
well pulverized. instead of the harrow,
which will cover the seed too.deep, cut a
large round brush, (honey locust is good),
lop the inside limbs to make all bear alike
on the ground, and brush your clover seed
In the same way as you would harrow
your barley or oats.
One bushel of seed, sown in this way, on
nine or ten acres of ground, will make
your clover thicker than the same quanti-
ty on seven or eight acres of wheat ground
left exposed to the drought. and to the
chances of falling into the cracks, into
which half of it never finds a resting
place.

Field BeStS.

The Mass Ploughman says The full and
proper name of this vegetable is ~naanqel
~tc,rrzel, a German name. which signifies
root of scarcity. 1t was 50 called by the
Germans. because it wasoften used instead
of bread in times of scarcity or famine. and
this scarcity root was found to be SO pro-
ductive for field cultivation, that it be-
came an object of wide attention as a 6eld
crop. 1t is a variety of the beet. and its
systematic name is Beta attissinad, by
those botanists who regard it as a distinct
species of beet, and by those who think it
simply a~variety of the common beet. Beta
.p,4Laris campestris. others have regar-
ded it as a cross or hybrid between the
common beet and the Silesian. or sugar

Here is the strongest divorce story that

by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zeue. writing from St. Louis, Feb. 21 =
I'm 1S49, Britton A. Hill, a prominent
lawyer here, and his wife, on a joint petit
ton, were divorced by act of the Legisla-
ture. In 1854. the lady was married to
d. Roberts Bareley, with whom she has
since lived. The property which was al
lowed her by the Legislature, is now worth
a million. In 1857. Hill married
again, and during the war Mrs. Hill went
to Europe, and. in consequence of some
misconduct while there, her husband sued
for a divorce. Subsequently she was re-
drowned, which proved false. At
terward she became attached to the house
hold of King Victor Emanuel, and some
ago died, and Hills suit for di-
vorce was dismissed some time last year.
The trustees of Mrs. Barclay, Hills first
wife, brought suit tOcompel Samuel SIM
mons to purchase a pi zee of property, ac-
10 agreement. He refused, on the
ground that the divorce granted by the
was illegal. and a clear title
to the property could not be given. The
question was taken to the Supreme Court
which decided against the Legislature, and
yesterday, to obviate all difficulties, Hill
applied to the Circuit Court for . divorce

Cheap

Did you ever study the ~cheapness of
some pleasures? asks some writer. Do
you know how little it takes to make a
multitude happy? Such trifes as a penny,
a word, or a smile do the work. There
are two or three boys passing along-give
them each q chestnut, and how smiling
they look? they will not be cross for some
time. A poor widow lives in tho neigh
borhood who is the mother of half a dozen
children. Send them half peck of sweet
apples, and they will be happy.
A child has lost his arrow-the world
to him-and he mourns sadly: help him
to find it, or make him another, and how
quickly will the sunshine play over his
sober face. A boy has as much as he can
do to pile up a load of wood assist him a
few moments, or speak a pleasant word to
him, and he forgets his toll. and works
away without minding it. Your appren-
tice has broken a mug, or cut the vest too
large, or slightly injured a piece of work.
Say ''You %scoundrel," and he feels miser-
able; but remark, Il am sorry" and he
will try to do better.
You employ a man pay him cheerful
ly, and speak a pleasant word to him. and
he leaves your house with a contented
heart, to light up his W hearth with
smiles and gladness.
As you pass along the street, you meet
a familiar face, say Good morning" as
though youfelt happy, and it will work
admirably in the heart of your neighbor.
Pleasure is cheap. Who will not bestow
it literally? If there are smiles, sunshine,
and flowers all about us, let us not grasp
them with a miser's fist, and lock them
up in our hearts. No rather let us take
them and scatter them about us, in the
cot of the widow, among, the groups of
children in the crowded mart, where men
of business congregate, in our families, and
everywhere. We can make the wretched
happy, the discontinued cheerful, the af-
ficted resigned, at an exceedingly cheap
rate. Who will refuse it?
