Cheap Pleasure.

Did you ever study the cheapness o.
some pleasures? asks some writer. Dc
you know how little it takes to make 6
multitude happy? Such trihes as q
penny, word or smile, do the work.
There are two or three boys passing
along-give them each chestnut, and
how smiling they look; they will not be
cross for some time. A poor widow lives
in the neighborhood who is the mother
off half dozen children. Send them a
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 load of wood; assist
him a few moments, or speak a kind
word to him, and he forgets his toll and
works away without minding it. Your
apprentice has broken mug, or cut the
vest little too large, or slightly injured
a piece of work. Say " You scoundrel, +"
and he feels miserable; but remark q
am sorry, and he will try to do better.
You employ a man; pay him cheer
fully, and speak pleasant word to him,
and he leaves your house with content
ed heart, to light up his own hearth with
smiles and gladness.
As you pass along the street, you meet
a familiar face; say 8 good morning" as
though you felt happy, and Is will work
admirably in the heart of your neighbor.
Pleasure is cheap. Who will not be-
stow 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 disconnected
cheerful, the afflicted resigned, at an
exceeding cheap rate. Who will refuse
to do it?

RniSinE Melons.

A writer in the Germantown Tele
graph, says:
Farmers ought more generally than
they do, cultivate watermelons. They
are favorite fruit with most persons, es-
pecially children, are healthy, and can
be raised over wide extent of latitude. A
sweet, crisp watermelon, cool from the
ice-house, the spring or the cellar, is as
grateful dessert as we can set before a
friend of hot August day. Among the
most pleasant recollections of my boy
hood are the melons and other fruits that
my father used to raise on the old farm
In later life / was called upon to make
choice Of an occupation; the thought that
these and other luxuries properly be-
long to the farm, and might be mine with
a little labor did much to influence my
choice.
For several years past / have succeed
ed in raising a supply of good melons
for family use in the following manner:
| select high, dry piece of ground slop-
ing to the south, pillow and harrow wei,
lay off the rows seven or eight feet apart:
put from one-half to one peck of manure
in each hill, dampen it with heavy hoe
or mattock, dig up the soil about the hill
ten or twelve inches deep, and two or
three feet over, mixing the manure thor
oughly with the soil. / raise the hills
three or four inches high, put six or
eight seeds i'm hill. cultivate well with
the hoe, and when the plants begin TO
run, thin 20 two plants 10 the hill.

Our readers will all remember the good
advice of Dr. franklin

Our readers viii all remember the good
advice of Dr. franklin
Plow deep while sIuggards sleep,
And you will have corn TO sell and to keep.
Yet few of US follow the advice of that
sage philosopher Deep culture lies at
the basis Of all successful farming
The roots Of plants must not be confined
to a few inches in depth, if We would
have a good crop. A deep, mellow well
pulverized bed must be prepared for
them. They must be supplied with all
the food they will consume. If supplied
with only half they need, they will yield
only half crop-dnd this is why we
only get half crops. 1t is like giving a
COW only half the food she needs and
then expecting her to give full supply
of milk. Again, where shallow blowing
is practiced, the plants easily suffer from
the summer drouths. They wither and
dry up both for the want of food and
moisture Soil broken but few inches
in depth viii easily part with the mois-
ture it contains-for itcontains but little;
but, if broken, the plants have large
supply of moisture and are not affected
by the drouth, at least not materially
If rain falls, the deeply broken soil Will
retain a large fund of the moisture, while
the shalIow-broken soil will hold but lit
tie. The hard pan lying below will not
drink it up, and the water will run of
carrying much of the surface soil with it.
Shallow broken soil is washed away by
every rain that falls, while deeply-broken
soil is capable of holding the rain that
| falls until If masses off quietly A small
piece of sponge can hold but little water,
while large sponge will absorb great
deal. The best method to prevent ground
from washing is, to pillow it deep-to sub
soil it. We have seen hill sides, thai
have been sub-soiled, not injured at al
by heavy rains, while fields with slight
declivity, plowed shallow, have been al
most ruined by the same rains. In grow
ing all kinds of crops it pays to follow
| Poor Richards advice.

Ono NVax Life is BIighted.

A great part of the misery in the
world arises from persons not understand
ing one another; sometimes from selfish
Indifference ON the subject, sometimes
from thinking that to do so is petty and
puerile. Two people, for instance, are
thrown into intimate daily relations
One understands no suffering that is not
purely physical. If he is not hungry, if
he is not thirsty, if he is not cold, if he
has roof over his head, if he is not
bothered, whether necessarily or 9TH
erwise, his life is rounded out. To shed
tear for lack of sympathy, or APP
probation, or love, after that, is to him
lunacv, and to be treated as such, with a
hard, Gradgrind non-recognition worthy
of such a creed.
Now, magazine a sensitive nature,
delicately susceptible to the little
things" so miscalled, which make up our
lives, grieving over rough or Indifferent
words, where tender recognition should
have come at the right moment, like a
medicine tenderness which costs moth
ing, perhaps only a simple word or caress,
or look even--hungeriDg day after day
for something besides the hard practicali-
ties of life; imagine such person keep
ing back as far as possible the unshed
tears, conscientiously, nevertheless, do
ing duty-labor; day after day, week
after week, month after month, with a
heavy heart, and the other eating, sleep
ing, drinking, as Indifferent to the suffer-
ing caused as if life and loyalty were full
filled by these latter conditions.

differing natures have differing limita-
tons; just as one vessel may hold gal
lon and another pint, and each be use
full in its way. Would it not be well for
this stolid nature. voluntarily choosing
such relationship, to ask the question,
whether they may not be real suffering
in these cases though he himself 'snever
felt so, and therefore can't understand it,"
Is it not duty, as well as wisdom, in such
juxtaposition, to make an effort to under
stand it, and not cody to deny its ex-
istence or pronounce it bogus, because
he has only one nerve sensitive to pain
or pleasure where the other has hun
dred?
is pitiful to think how, for the want
of this, some natures, like prisoned birds,

relentless fate, till bruised and manned,
they drop, at least for the time being, in
a hopeless despair, their songs stified,
their wings clipped, and darkness and
silence reigning, where brightness and
music might so easily have come.
Alb, it is blessed that in another world
there will be no such limitations. Else
how could heaven be, with natures one
half paralyzed, as here for want of space
to expand, chilled, stunted, frowned mp
on, denounced, for lack of that charity
without which all else is comparatively

On tombstone as the cause Of death, |

The Central Star, at Goodman, has q
Durant Department, " edited by citi-
zen of Durant," whose graceful jottings
we " guess" to be those of Bro. Chas. I.
Murphy. We clip the following from
the Star of the 9th:
We are again placed under renewed
obligations to the officials of the Missis-
sippi Central Railroad for the generosity
in furnishing half-rate tickets to the ma
sons attending our celebration on the
31st inst
We desire in this connection to place
on record a statement which may be OF
value at future day to some one who
may be engaged in indicating the
truth of history" A few years ago we
wrote to Gen. A. NJ. West, then Presi-
dent of the Mississippi Central Railroad
asking him to pass the members OF the
Grand Lodge, then soon to convene, al
half-fare The General not being 8
Mason, the application was supported
among other statements by the remarE
| that the Grand Lodge was very poor.
The reply was promptly and exactly al
we knew it would be, for We never knew
an unsuccessful appeal to his generosity
The reply was handed to Bro. Power
and similar applications at once made t.
other railroads accompanied with state
ment Of Gen. Vests actions in the pre-
misses: the result was an established anC
permanent regulation among the severa
railroads in the State, to pass the mem
bers of the Grand Lodge at half-fare
To Gen. West, then, the Masonic fra
ternity of Mississippi is indebted for in
augurating policy of such material an,
lasting benefit to them; and we are wei
assured that the body of the craft Will b
unanimous in cherishing the noble act il
grateful remembrance.

David DickSOmss Directions for
Cotton Planting.

Lay off the rows four feet; run the Sc
cOnd furrow seven or eight inches deep;
deposit the fertilizers intended to be used
either with the hand or fertilizer sower,
at the rate of four hundred pounds or
upwards per acre. With a long scooter
pillow run on each side of that furrrOw,
and cover it up. Run the same pillow in
those burrows second time, or the sub
soil pillow, if preferred. Use a good turn
pillow, and run on the side of each of those
scooter burrows, and scooter burrows in
each of those turning burrows, or
a subsoil. Split out the middles with a
large shovel, as deep as the horse will pull
it. That finishes the bed.
When ready to plant, open with small,
short bull-tongue. Sow the seed with
the hand or cotton seed sower-the
cotton seed sower preferable. If the cot
ton seed sower is used it finishes the
whole operation at once.
The earlier cotton is planted the lighter
it must be covered.
Cotton may be planted from the first OF
April till the 10Th of May. From the
10th to the 25th of April, L consider the
best time. You may plant, with high
manurlng, as late even as the lst OF j une.
BY extending your planting over the Ion
gest periods you can raise the largest
crops, the bulk being put in about the
10Th to the Goth of ApriI
In the first working of the cotton, side
with twenty-five inch sweep, with the
right wing tolerably fiat, going very close
to the plant, not exceeding half inch il
the blowing. 1t may be hoed by scrapins
with a sharp No. Scovel hoe any time
after blowing. Leave two to three stalk:
in hill, the width of the hoe being the
space that the stalks should be apart
Some advantage is gained by keeping al
near the middle as possible. You will be
able to see what grass the pillow left. The
shaving of the grass with the hoe will ac
as a second working of the crop. 1t vii
always be safe, if you can, to return tt
the cotton once in three weeks.-Fron

Gossip About Marriage.
Gossip About Marriage.
An old rhymer thus answers which
the best day to marry:
Monday for wealth;
Tuesday for health;
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses;
Friday for losses;
Saturday no luck at all.

w euHeSudy Tie DSob Odl vi dlA
Thursday for crosses;

Saturday no luck at all.
Another writer says: Young ladies
should abstain from listening to any one
whose surname begins with the same let
ter as their own
To change the name, and rnt the letter,
Is change for the worse, and not the
better.
And they would do well to take the
precaution of placing their initials IN
conjunction with those of any admlrer
they incline to favor, and ask, like Nal
volio, "What should that alphabetical
position portend ?" for if, of the united
initials, any word can be formed, they
may be certain the owners of them will
never be happy together.
1t is an unhappy omen for wedding
to be put off when the day has once been
fixed. In Sweden it is believed much
harm will ensue if bridegroom stands
at the junction Of crossroads, or be-
side closed gate, upon. his wedding
morn 1t is bad sign if the bride fails
to shed tears on the happy day, or if she
INDUCES herself by taking last admir-
ING glance at the looking-glass after her
toilet is completed but she may crafty
her vanity without danger, if she leaves
one hand ungloved until beyond tempta-
ton.
The custom of throwing shoes after q
newly-wedded pair, for luck is very old
one. In the Isle of Man, the shoe is
thrown after bride and bridegroom as
they leave their respective abodes; but
the ceremony is generally performed
elsewhere, upon the departure Of the he
70 and heroine of the day on their hon
eymoon trip. In some parts of Kent
the shoe-throwing does not take place
until after they have gone, when the sin
gle ladies range themselves in one line,
and the bachelors range themselves il
another. An old shoe is then thrown a:
far as the thrower's strength permits, and
! the ladies race after it, the winner being
rewarded by the assurance that she will
be married before any of her rivals.
She then throws the shoe at the gentle
men, the one she hits laying the same
pleasing JUNCTION to his heart. Some
thing like this is practiced, too, in York
shire and Scotland. In Germany it used
to be the rule for the bride, as she was
being conducted to her chamber, to take
off her shoe and throw it among the
guests, who battled for its possession, the
successful he or she being held destined
to be speedily married and settled.
