A Novel Node of Reform

4 merchant in London bad dispute
with Quaker respecting tue settlement
of an account. The merchant was deter
mined to bring the account into court.
proceeding which the Quaker earnestly
deprecated, using every argument in his
power to. convince the merchant Of his err
ror; but the latter was inaexible. Dcsi-
rous to make Inst effort, the Quaker
called at his house one morning. aud in
quired Of the servant il bis master was at
home. The merchant hearing the inquiry
and knowing the voice, called out from the
top Of the stairs:
Tell that rascal I am not at home"
The Quaker looking up to him calmly
said, "Well, friend, God put thee in a
better mind /"
The merchant, struck afterward with the
meekness of the reply, and having more
deliberately investigated the matter, be.
came convinced that the quaker was right
and he was wrong. lie requested to see
him. and after acknowledging his error,
he said:
~ have one question to ask you; how
were you able, with such patience, on va.
-rious occasions, to bear my abuse?"
Friend, replied the Quaker, Il will
tell thee. ! was naturally as hot and vio-
lent as thou art l knew that to indulge
this temper was sinful, and | found out it

passion always spako loud, and I thought

rule never to let my voice rise above q
certain key, and by careful observation

Extract from The Remarks of JESSIE T. Hur.
cuAsoS, Richmond, VAL
We cannot too earnestly urge upon you
that If barus are to be built, the interval
of time between the cultivation and cut
ting If the tobacco is the best aud most
suitable time. II should not by any means
be deferred. for, however busy you may
be, you can rest assured that you will not
be less so when your fall duties begin to
press upon you. If you cleared new
ground TO use the old Virginia phrusc)
the winter before, every tree which would
answer for barn log or a tier pole should
have been reserved aud taken directly from
the land to the site of your proposed bull
ding. by this you accomplish the double
purpose of cleariug the land of them, and
at one hauling get them in place at the
most leisure tine Of the year, when your
teams, very often, have nothing else TO do.
When logs are cut aud IN place the barn
is more than half built.
But few planters have barn room enough.
1t is often the case that the loss on one
crop Of tobacco, together with the extra
labor Of hosting aud re-housing, &C.,
would more than suffice to build barn.-
No planter should cease to build barns un-
til he has plenty to hold his entire crop at
one hanging. We believe in small barns
for any kind of curing. A house built
16 feet inside and divided into four rooms
and six tier high in the body, is the pref
erable size for fue or eoal curing. For

1t is coming into fashion to abuse John
Chinaman as not coming up to the
standard Of good contract laborer. One
fellow says he is better ior farming t;.an
railroad building, and another fellow
thinks that his farming capacity is not SO
good as his ability as q road construc-
zionist. And SO it is probable the big
farmers and the railroad contractors will
dismiss John in his aggregate capacity
from their employ. This IS ali right. 1t
h'-ncs matters nearer level, because John
is really not bad IS an Independent man,
which his contract with koopmanschap
did not allow him to be. We can afford
to absorb millions Of Cinnamon if they
only come as intelligent, separate, indie
