In the rush and turmoil of business, or do'
me<tc duties, most persons are disposed to
overlook many Of the amenities aud require
mcnts Of society. and in this particular
more especially, forget the great Interest
they have in the education OF their children.
Therefore ne reiteratc, visit the School, and
not only show to the young ladies that you
wish to see if they are advancing, but to the
teachers that you appreciate and acknowl'
edge their efforts. A little more Of the well
done, good and faithful servant, in all the
walks of life, is Of greatest advantage; it acts
like precious oil to the moral and social ma
chiuery Of society.

CLovEE--The kcowec (WalhAll.) Con.
ricr and the Edgefrd Adverriser, both
spesk .of'the fine clover patches TO bc found
il heir towns Now, we doA't like 10
boast, but think that our town can show as
handsome clover fields as any in the coun.
try. Mr. Sam'l. Boozer, for instance, has
| four ffths Of an acre in clover. The neat
! little SOU IRE with itS even and lu>uriant sur.
face Of green leaves and purple blooms is
very refreshing to the eye, and we'll
worth long walk to look at.
From this small patch seven wagon loads,
abou, 5000 lbs, we're taken at the first
moving, and now the grass three feet long
is again ready for the scvthe. This is all
| evidence of what can be done in this beau
tiful land of ours with its fertile sol and
genial climate.
Grass is truly the basis of agricultural
! wealth. Some one his tritely snid that
clover bears the same relative value to 9TH
er crops that faith does to religion. That
upon it ever! thing that nourishes man and
increases his stores feeds and fattens. That
grass makes fat pigs and chickens, butter
and eggs, and the cattle which browse upon
| a thousand hills.
Clover will grow here. All that is ne.
cessary is its proper cultivation. And it
RECEIVERS soil, making q rich and al eadu-
ring sod.
Apart from tie wealth it affords and its
nou:i<hihs protection TO the soil, how at
,ractive and pleasant to the eye when the
o'hcr crops are removed to see this beau:i-
full grass covering the otherwise parchcd
or werdy soil with its cooling, succu!ent
folds, receiving moisture and nutriment
from the atmosphere and returning the same
to the earth, TINS fulfilling a grand ccono-
my and bounty Of nature.
We might say that the grasses which
.<pring 80 fresh and green" covering the
earth as carpet with its lovely lawns and
pretty swa. is make up the poetry and sen
timcnt Of agriculture.
