The way in which the liberal republican
movement is carried on was well illustrat-
ed in this Office Saturday afternoon, when
respectable farmer and republican, from

speetlon copy Of the liberal republican
call and letter signed by +. i .PlLLsBuRY
Govt Phlsbury) inviting our republican
sriendto give his name and influence to
the liberal republican movement. Our
worthy farmer was somewhat surprised At
receiving such an invitation from such
source. and called to inquire how lons
the said Pillsbury had been liberal re,

liberal republicanism, with Governor

Tt is surprising that so many fam
lilies in the country are willing to
live year after year, without cultiva-
ting a single grapevine about their
dwellings. They are compelled to
purchase the delicious fruit for the
table, or not to taste it during the
season. There is a common i'm
preston that to cultivate grapes
perfectly a vast amount of knOwl-
edge and tact is required. To many
the simple trimming of a vine is a
mystery more difficult to compre-
bend than the hardest problem Of
Euclid. This is an erroneous view,
and ought not to prevail. Any per
son of common intelligence can
learn in an hour how to trim and
nournish vines; and, if instruction
cannot be obtained from some ex-
perienced CultivatOr, there are
books filled with cuts and illustra-
tions which make everything plain.
Three vines of as many different
varieties, planted in some sunny
nook, or by the side Of some sunny

will, if properly cared for, furnish
bushels of delicious grapes every
year. Select Concord, a Dele
ware and an Adirondack; make the
ground mellow and rich by the use
of spade and by employing old
manure, finely ground bones and
ashes; and set out the plants. In
three years the rich clusters will ap
pear, and in four years the product
will be abundant. 1t is well to
have vines planted so that the waste
liquids from the dwelling can be
used in fertilization. Ifthere is any
food the vine especially loves, it is
the soapy liquids which accumulate
on washing days in families. Vines
drenched every week with these
liquids will flourish astonishingly,
and extend themselves so as to cover
large buildings, every branch bear
ing fruit. We say to our readers,

Why Don't We Marry?
The Golden Ace thus conclude

The Golden Age thus concludes
an article under the caption, s'Why
cont we marryP'
There is no question that our
costly style of living diminishes the
number of marriages, and indirectly
recruits the ranks of the vicious
and depraved. So long as fashion
demands q style of living which on
ly a millionaire can really afford,
and a Young married couple must
support an expensive establishment,
or be excluded from the circle in
which they moved before marriage,
bar is raised to matrimonial ep-
gagements which only the very
courageous or very INSCRIPTIONS
will have the hardihood to over
step. The opportunities and lures to
a single life of easy indulgence and
dissipation have constantly in
creasing influence over the young
men of our cities; while a contin
uallY increasing number of Young
ladies are educated to a life of ease,
display and extravaganza which on
ly few young men can possibly sup
port them in and be honest. So our
fashions put a premium upon bach
elOrism and vice on the one hand,
and untold waste and wretchedness
on the other.
What is wanted more than any
thing in our society to-day is the
courage on the part of young men
and women to break away from the
present thraldom, and set a new
and noble fashion of independence
and economy. A score or two of
examples of that heroism which de
file the foolish sentiment and Gus
tom of the time, and dares to be
true to the noble instincts of the
heart, and lives simply and honest
~ in a small and quiet way, would
create a reform, if not a revolution.
The question comes to every young
heart: Which shall I sacrifice, the
instincts and affections of the heart,
or the shows and shams of society?
Alas, tnat so many yield the former
to the latter! For love is the reli-
gion of the young; and whOsoeyer
suppresses it for the sake Of display,
whoever sacrifices it for fashion, I
commits a sacrilege for which moth
ing on earth can atone. Love isl
nothing to be ashamed Of or laughed
at, but a sentiment to be cherished
and glOrifed in; and, at any sacri
fee it may require, is cheap so long
as it adds fuel to the precious flame
which purifies the heart, refnes and
ennobles the character, and makes
and WOmanhoOd worth |

Press Dead Heads.

Railroads occasionally complain
Of the deadheading, but no institu-
ton suffers so much from it as the
press. a Witer says:
The press endures the afIiiction of
dead-headism from the pulpit, the
bar and the stage; from corpora
tions. societies and individuals. 1t
is expected to yield its interests; it
is required to give strength TO the
weak, eyes to the blind, clothes TO
naked, and bread TO the hungry; it
is asked to cover intirmities, hide
weakness and wink at quacks, bOl
ster up dull authors and hattor the
vain; it is, in short, to be all things
to all men, and if it looks for pay or
reward it is denounced Is me2n-a and
sordid. There is no interest under
the whole heavens that is expecteu
to give so much to society without
pay or thanks as the press.

Preventing SOWs from DeVOuriRg
their Young.

It is well known that sows not
unfrequently attack and deVour
their own young; or if prevented
from this, will not let down their
milk, so that the yoang pigs neces-
sarily die for want OF nourishment.
When this state of things is not
cansed by a diseased condition Of
the uterus, it is said that the SOW
can be brought to terms by pouring
a mixture of ten to twenty grains
Of spirits of camphor, with one to
three Of tincture of opium, into the
ear. The SOW viii Immediately lie
down on the side of the ear to which
the application was made, and re-
main quiet for several hours in this
position without interfering with
her pigs; and on recovery from her
stupOr will have lost her irritability
in regard to them. The experiment
has been tried in Germany hundreds
of times, according to one of the
agricultural journals, without any
injurious effects. 1t is also said
that the eating Of pigs by the pa
rent SOW can be readily prevented
by rubbing them all over with bran
dy and making the same application
about the nose of the SOW herself

HoM to Rnild Railroads.

We find the following sensible
and practicable plan to build rail
roads through our State, published
in the Bartlett Enterprise, proposed
by W. J. Sykes, Esq, a man whom
no one in Tennessee ranks higher
as thoroughly posted railroader,
and a friend to developing all our
material interests:
If the people on q line of road
have no money with which to build
it, they have that which is as good
as money. and that is land. There
are within three miles of a road,
say for illustration, 100000
acres of land. One fifth Of this
would be siyty-one thousand four
hundred and fifty acres. This
would secure the building of the
road. The owners of this land
would be much richer after parting
with one fifth of their present land,
and obtaining the road, than they
now are, with the whole of what
they now have, much of which they
cannot cultivate, and which is going
to waste. The company could take
One-ffth of the land within three
miles of road. sell it to actual set
tiers who could and would cultivate
it, and with the proceeds of these
sales the road might be built. The
land might be sold on ten years
credit and the notes used by the
company in building the road. The
men who buy these lands would not
cultivate the land they might buy,
but they would assist in cultivating
the other lands. In this way labor
would be obtained and value added
to all the land near the road. This is
the best plan TO secure immigration
and labor. A man s wealth does not
merely upon the number Of
acres he may own, but upon its ca
pacity for production, its nearness
to market and the means of prOcur-
ing labOrers to cultivate it. The
railroad would increase all of these,
and although he might possess few
er acres, he would be much richer.

Charcoal for Stock.

Farmers who raise stock should
give them plenty of charcoal to eat,
and furnish them freely with salt.
Both improve cattle and keep them
IN condition. Salt acts healthily on
the blood; charcoal strengthens and
heats the mucous membrane
throughout the alimettary canal,
and increases the power of the di-
gestive organs, healing any un-
healthy condition existing there
The best plan is to knead the salt
and charcoal together with clay, and
sun-dry the mass, as previously
recommended by US, and then place
it where the stock can have free ac-
cess to It.
