Judge Withers was man of
distinguished talent and ability
His intellect was as keen aud bright
as a Damascus blade, and he
welded it on all occasions, in pub.
lie and in private, most effectual!y.
Every word that fell from his lips
in conversation, on the Bench, or
in public speaking, had a telling
effect. No one was ever left in
doubt rs to his meaning whenyhe
discussed any question. He had
moral courage in a high degree,
and cared not whom he pleased or
offended. He was very sarcastic
and bitter in his denunciations of
men and measures. No one ever
possessed less of the demagogue
than Judge lWithers. No one
ever more conscientiously did
what he thought was right, regard
less Of consequences. He was in
bad health all his life, and some
what misanthropic. He never
courted popularity, and scorned
the base means which others re.
sorted to for this purpose. The
high public offices which he filed
were conferred on him for his tai.
ents, ability and honesty, and not
on account Of any personal popu-
larity which he possessed There

others display signs of pluck in
their preliminary movements, and
then show the white feather when

DILIoENCE.-We find in Scrip
ture that most of the great appear
ances which were made to eminent
saints were made when they were
busy. Moses kept his fathers
flock when he saw the burning
bush +; Joshua is going round about
the city of Jericho when he meets
the angel of the Lord !; Jacob is in
prayer, and the angel of God APP
pears to him ; Gideon is thrashing
and Elisha is blowing, when the
Lord calls them Matthew is at
the receipt of custom when he is
hidden to follow Jesus and James
and John are fishing. The Almigh.
ty Lover of the souls of men is not
wont to manifest Himself to idle
persons. He who is slothful and
inactive cannot expect to have tho
sweet company of his Saviour.

average. That will tell you what
you are going to be. What you
are carrying along with you is
what you will have by.and-by. If
you are 80 conducting yourself
that you have peace with God,
and with your fellowmen, and
with your facilities if every day
you insist that duty shall make
you happy, and you take as much
time as is needful FIR the culture
of your social faculties, you will
not be exhausting lite, and it will
be continually replenished. But
if you are saving everything up
till you get to be an old man, hab
it will stand like a tyrant, and say
"You would not enjoy yourself
before, and you shall not now."-
How many men there are, whe
have ground and ground to make
money, that they might be happy
by.and.by, but who, when they
have got to be fifty or sky years
old, had used up all the enjoyable
nerve that was in them. During
their early life they carried toll,
and economy, and trugality to the
excess of stinginess, and when the
time came that they expected joy,
there was no JOY for them.

A MYSTERY OF BLoop.-In the
Memphis, (Tenn..) Avalanche of
w ednesday last, appeared an an
count of the finding of four flesh.
less blackened skeletons, in an old
privy vault in the rear of what
was once known as the Shelby
House, on Shelby street, near
Gayosa. The skeletons were
found by SOME workmen engaged
in excavating cellar on the cor
ner of the streets above mention.
ed. Since then thirteen skeletons
more have been found, making
seventeen in all that have been
taken from this reeking, unchrist.
iaL tomb for murdered mems
bones. That the bones found are
those Of murdered men there can
be no doubt, as the Shelby House,
in former years, was the abode of
the lowest and most vicious of the
human race. The number of
dark deeds of blood that have
been consummated in this house
and adjoining quarters no man
can tell. All Of the bones as yet
discovered present the same hide
ous, blackened sight, the effects OF
the acids and gases by which they
were surrounded. The fact that
all the skeletons discovered were
contiguous t. the same spot pre-
cludes the idea that they were ev
er deposited there by the rites Of
Christian burial. sa

Select high dry spot, drive
two forks in the ground, 90 that
they may stand 15 to 1S inches
high and such distance apart as
the amount of grain demands.--
Lay a pole in the forks, then set
up row of bundles on each side
of the poles, their butts on the
ground, their heads resting
against each other above the pole.
Continue to set up bundles on

Now place set of bundles on
this foundation, with their butts
projecting a little over the edges
and the tops raised by laying
bundles under them, Sd as to give
the buts a moderate slope down
ward. Now dill in across the
widths with bundles laid horizon
tally, then arrange another set of
bundles along the edges as before,
but drawing in little, so that the
successive courses of bundles may
resemble the successive courses of
shingles on a roof. Then fill
across as before, and so on. The
ends may be built up perpendicu-
larly-but the drawing in of the
sides finally brings them to a
comb" This should be neatly
capped with a ridge board made
of two broad planks nailed togeth-
er and held in position by poles
resting on them from opposite
sides. There is hardly any limit
to the amount of grain which can
be put in a rick, as it's length can
be extended indefinitely.
For feeding purposes, oats cut
as soon as they begin to turn well,
answer best-the straw is not
then SO hard and woody as in the
ripe and the grain does not shat
ter so badly in handling.
Where the oat stubble is not in
clover or grass, it may be planted
in drilled peas. and the plowings
given these will cover enough oat
seed to give good stand Of oats
again in the fall In this manner
quite a number of good crops of
oats and peas may be grown in
succession.
Begin at once to prepare for a
turnip crop. The land intended
for this crop should have a " clean
fallow," that is, it should be plough
ed over and over again ct inter-
walls of a few weeks, so as to keep
it perfectly clean and get it into
the finest tilth. Most of the ma

Rev. gentleman applied to him to

INTEeRITY.-Integrity is a vir-
tue that costs much. In the peri.
cd of passion, it takes self denial
to keep down the appe,ites of
tho flesh in the time Of ambition,
with rs far more dangerous, it re
quires very much earnestness
of character TO keep covetousness
within it's proper bounds, not to
be swerved by love of the praise
of men, or official power over
them. But what a magnificent re
compenso does it bring to any and
every man ! Any pleasure which
costs conscience a single pang is
really pain, and not a pleasure.
All gam which robs you of your
integrity is gain which pro
fits not; il is q loss. Honor is
infamy if won by the sale of your
own soul. But what womanly do,
light does this costly virtue bring
into our consciousness, here and
elsewhere. gbA sfssssa -sf io.n sssj
