GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES

You think you love the young man who
is coming this Sunday night to visit you!
And he acts as if he loves youl Suppose
he 'declsres himself" and asks you to
become his wife. Are you prepared to
say to him, 81 love and will trust you
thr ough life with my happiness, and the
lives and veal of our children"
He is jolly, gay and handsome, and all
the darts Of Cupid are tWinkling and spark
ling In his eyes; but will those eyes always
find expression from the love of true souI2
To night ne says many pleasant things and
draws pretty pictures for the future. Does
he go tomorrow to q work which gives
promise to the fulfillment of your desire
in life2 Do his ambitions and achieve
ments satisfy your Does his every. day
life shine with the noble endeavor of a
trustworthy MANI IfyOu think, and de-
sire companion in your thinking-one
who can unlock the deepest depths of your
mind, to what strata of humanity does
he belong in the scale of excellence and
morality Is he doing all he can to build
future usefulness and happiness in which
you can share and feel blessed2 These
are questions which the experience of
after years make many women weep in
the bitterness of soul that they were not
thought of before they answered eyes. u

A CORRESPONDENT ofsthe New York
Times writes from Scotland. "Ihere is
pOorhouse accommodation in Scotland
for about two-thirds of the entire popula-
ton. Not that they need it now, but it
will be handy in case they ever do. 1t is
profitable to somebody to build poor
houses, and they give comfortable bsrths
for numerous officials. That which fills
poorhouses is on the increase. Csithness,
with q total population of forty-two
thousand, has one hundred and thirty. two
liquor houses; one to every three hundred
and eighteen of the population. In Edin-
burgh visitor to the police court saw
eighty-one persons sentenced, mostly for
drunkenness, in thirty five minutes"

Important DecisIon.

At the recent term of the Circuit Court
McMinn county, in the case of Alfred
Hanks VS. Calvin Denton, the defendant
plead the statute of limitations-that is,
that the note eued on was barred by reason
Of having been executed six years, after
counting out the time that the statute was
suspended by the amended Constitution OF
the State. To this plea the plaintiff de-
INJURED, alleging that the war itself sus-
pended the statute from April, 1861, to
May, 1865; snd the Court sustained the
demurrer. The decision, we are told, if
it should be sustained by our Supreme
Court-snd it is q point upon which we
have no adjudication-will revive many
an old bat just debt.
We learn the discussion was participated
in by almost all the bar present, from
which it was elected that the doctrine sus-
tanned in the decision of the Court is the
doctrine of the common law, and the doc
triae as now held by the Supreme Court
of the United States. We learn, also, that
a large majority of the members of the
bar in attendance on the Court sustain the

PUFrING UP TOMATOES.

Tomatoes may be put up for winter
use in the same manner that cucumbeu
are put up for pickle. Let a layer of
salt be put in the bottom of cask, then
q layer of tomatoes and a layer of salt
alternating until the caAk is full. Care
should be taken not to have the vessel too
large, as the lower ones would be crushed
by too much weight above.

SINGULAR SUICIDE.
A Stranger Runs Himself Through
a rhreshing Machine.


From the Indianapolis People
A farmer was threshing his grain by
steam power, near Philadelphia, this
county, when a well dressed stranger
drove up in buggy, got out, tied his
horse and came up to the machine. He
first went to the engineer and asked the
privilege of feeding the machine awhile,
and was referred to the feeder. The
feeder seeing no reason TO refuse letting
him try his hand, yielded his post, which
the stranger filed with ability. After
running q short time, he looked to the en-
gineer for more steam, which the engineer
put on; and then, while the machine was
going at lightning speed, he motioned the
man handling sheaves to stop, and as soon
as the teeth were clear, he doubled up his
arms and threw himself headforemost into
the thresher, before the horror stricken
observers had an idea of bis intention.
He was literally torn all to pieces in an
instant. No clue to his identity could be
discovered, his pocket-book containing
thirty dollars but nothing in the way of
papers The citizens of Philadelphia are
still in the dark as regards the name of
the man or the cause of his making away
with himself.

Indeed any man who is farming, hiss his
own stock, implements, labor, ETC., will
only need cash to buy the number of vines
he wants TO plant, as he can do all the
work of preparing the ground, planting,
cultivating, etc., with the labor and stock
already employed on his farm, without
any serious interference with his other
farming operations; besides he Can cult
Vste sweet or irish potatoes, cabbages,
ETC., among the vines for the two first
years; the third year the vines will pro-
duce with an ordinary season at least five
pounds of fruit to the vine, which would
be 81, 900 pounds, all of which can be
sold in the Nashville and Cincinnati mar
kets at the lowprice of 20 cents per pound
nett making total of So, 500 90.
have also statistics before me of the
yield of O'her varieties of grapes, such as
NortOn's Virginia, Ives Seeding, Della
ware, Concord, etc., in the neighbor-
hood of Cincinnati, which yield is from
81, 500 to So, 900 per acre. We have just
finished pressing the grapes gathered from
3 acres of Ives Seedlings, which yielded
1900 gallons of wine, or 500 per acre.

Williamson County HOrse-EhIef
.-ro.E.sl KILLED.

.-ro.E III KILLED, I'D.
On last Friday, F. NJ. Lavender, Sheriff
of Williamson county, received dispatch
from w. P. Tanner, dated at Athens, Ala,
making The following announcement
ED. Mckee, of your county, was killed
here last night. He was a robber. His
horses are here. Benjamin Right is in jail
as an aceomplics." az
On inquiry we learn that Ed Mckee was
son-in law Of O. H. Ellis, who works at
Thomas nall, near this place. He has
been roaming promiscuously over This and
adjoining counties for the past few years,
and we learn, at the time of his marriage
with Ellis daughter, was living in close in
tmacy with another woman, supposed to
be his wife, but whom he denied ever hsv-
ing been married to. The girl, Ellis
daughter, being very young, and attracted
by the fine personal appearance and glib
ness of tongue of Mckee, was induced to
elope with him. He sent the first named
woman to Alabama just prior to his mar
rage. Mckee was not heard of here
again after his elopement with Ellis
daughter until some months subsequently,
when he turned up in difficulty at She!-
byville, with man whose name we did
not learn, in which he stabbed his antsg-
oDist with knife, for which he fed and
for some time secreted himself He sub
sequently had difficulty, as We are in
formed, with Mr.. Ike Robinson, Of this
county about some rent We also hear of
several other bad scrspss in which he was
engaged, and, all in all, he was desper-
stely wicked character.
Right, we learn is the son of a very poor
widow lady, living at or near eheibyviile,
who has large and helpless family of
children. The only thing we have heard
in regard to him prior to his connection
with this affair is. that he vas, some
months ago, placed in the Jail CT work
house at Shelbyville for carrying pistol
or something of the kind, but managed to
escape, since which time he has been
roaming around with Mckee.

thoroughly VSs5tors were convinced OF
the success of the enterprise. and if pel.
PIE VINO doubt the success of grape grow
| ing in Tennessee will come and zee our
vineyards during the next fruitiug season
they viii have, as Sancho Panza said
''proof heaped upon the shoulders IF
demonstration, as they cannot resist the
force of what they see. 1t will give us the
greatest possible pleasure to show visitors
It any and all times through our entire
vineyards, wine house, CELLARS, orchards,
etc. - lE-0l -
Now, sir, as to the profits of grape
culture in comparison with the ordinary
field crops of this State, and as | wish TO
take the greatest number of consecutive
years that the Catswba vines have fruited
near Cincinnati, Ohio, as shown by reli-
able statistics now before me. These
statistics show the average yield per acre,
In wine alone, for the II year., ending
with the year 1856, TO BEG 200 nett. have
selected the Catawba, in this comparison
because it is the most unreliable grape
planted by Vineysrdists about Cincinnati.
ltmakes full crop only once IN thee or
four years, but it is 80 valuable for wins
that grape growers cannos afford to ex-
clude it; besides it pays well, unreliable
as it is. Then take only 10 acres of this
grape for period of II years, yielding
nett profit of $500 per acre per year, as
shown above, and you have the aggregate
sum of $S4, 1000.
Now give farmer 200 acres of good
land worth $1,000, and allow him 10
make 10 per cent per annum clear upon
his investment instead Of one per cent es
before stated, and he will have made du-
ring the seventeen years the sum OF 3d.
600 in the aggregate, showing a balance
in favor of the ten acre VINEYARD over the
200 acre farm to be $50, 400. -a.
1t will be seen that / make no estimate
of the cost of preparing ground, cost of
stock, labor, etc, for either the vineyard
or farm, but give nett profits of each.
Aud as the idea generally prevails that it
is very expensive to cultivate grape vines,
the following shows the cost of preparing
ground, planting aud cul.iVating 10 acres
in vineyard until it comes into bearing:
