we are sure our citizens will subscribe literally
to so good an object. Aside from its intrinsic
merits and great value to the city the attraction
of good band offers, there are associations con-

make every patriotic heart feel an interest in
its perpetpation and support. It's members fol-

HOME INsURANcE.-The East Augusta Mutu-
al Fire Insurance Company will hold call
meeting of its stockholders at New Hope, on
Saturday, the 3lst day of May, (present month";
at P. M. precisely, to tranact important bust
ness affecting the interest of every member of
the Company. All are urgently requested to at
tend. Though the Company has been organized
for three years. there has not been single loss
by fire up to this time. The Company is COM
posed of farmers and mechanics, who have band
ed together for mutual aid and protection With
the present status of the Company, loss by fire
amounting to 81, 600 would cost each member
$500 on the ST. 900 which he may have as insu-
rance on his own property. This is safe, reli-
able and cheap company, and requires no pay
until there is fire and then only so much rata
bly, as will make up the sum necessary to pay
the loss and no more. 1t has no salaried officers.

Killing and Dressing Poultry

As much, ifnot more, depends
on the manner of killing poultry
as in dressing to have it look fit
for market. Too much caution
cannot be used in this branch of
this business One mode of kill
ing fowls, (instead of wringing
the necks, which we deprecate) J
is to cut off their heads with a
single blow of a sharp ak, hang
them up by the legs, and allow
them to bleed freely, and, pluck
their feathers Immediately white
warm. The French mode, which
is highly commended, we. think
far the best, as it causes instant
death without pain or disfgure-
mentand is simply done by open
ing the beak of the fowl, and with
asharp pointed and narrow -blad-
ed knife, make an incision at the
back of the roof which will divide
the vertebrae and causes imme-
date death, after which hang the
fowl up by the legs till the bleed
ing ceases, and pick it while
warmth you desire the feathers to
be removed. With a little care
the skin Of the fowl does not be-
come as torn and ragged as it does
in the old fashioned way of scald-
ing. Another thing, the flesh pre-
sents a better and more natural
when not scalded.

How to Get Plenty of Eggs.

A correspondent Of a poultry
paper says, referring to plenty OF
eggs:
1t has long been known to milk
men that wheat middlings and
bran are about the best of any
feed to- make a COW give milk;
why not the best, then to make
the hens lay eggs! l tried it, and
since then l have had no trouble.
My mode of preparing the feed is
to mix about two parts of bran
with four OF middlings. In the
morning | wet with water about
four quarts of the mixture in a
large tin pan,t taking pains to have
it rather dry, though all damp.
This l sit in warm sunny spot,
south of their shed, land they walk
up, take a few dips, don't seem to
fancy it like corn, and start off
on short hunt for something bet
ter, but always coming round in
a short time, for a few more dips
from the dish of bran. There is
little time during the day but one
or more are standing by the pan,
picking at the bran. j am care
full to mix for them just as much
as they will consume during the
day. At night, just before they
repair to the roost, l throw them
about a pint of shelled corn, well
scattered so that each one can get
a few kernels. If your hens don't
incline to eat this feed at first,
sprinkle a little Indian meal on
it. Ilwould Like all who Com
plain Of not getting eggs to try
my plan, and l think they never
will be sorry.

True Greatness.

Henry Ward Beecher saws
Aaron Burr was a keener think
er than was George Washington
He was q far more ingenious mar
and if he had been a moral man
and maintained moral relations
with his fellow men,and with the
law Of rectitude, he would have
been an able man. Washington
was man of good sense, but he
was not a man of genius in any
direction except of conscience.
He vas a man of singular equity,
great disinterestedness, and OF
pure and upright intent. Saga
cious he was, by a light which
came from integrity. He endur-
ed, having faith to believe that
night was right, that it was safe.
and that right in the end would
prevail. That which made Wash
lngton the only great hero of our
revolutionary struggle was the
light of the moral element that
was in him-not any intellectual
genius which he possessed; not
any rare tact of administration,
or any remarkable executive pow
er. And ifyou look back upon
those names in our history that
have stood the test, you will find
that they have been men who
were fruitful in the highest NOR
al element. And as time goes on
those men who lack these ele-
ments sink lower and lower till
they set below the horizon, and
those who possess then raise high
er and higher, till they reach the
meridian, with undying splendor
to shine upon history and the
world.

Work in the Horticultural De.
partments.

There is seldom a month III
which something can not be done
towards advancing the spring
work. There are many mild days
when things which were neglect
ed in the fall can be attended to.
There is now plenty of time for
reading and no good gardener
will fail to provide himself with
suitable books and papers to en-
ploy his mind during the long
winter evenings. New horticul-
tural books are publishedfrom
time to time; upon different
subjects, most of which contain
some items of interest, and are
worthy of a careful perusal. Dur
ing mild days, rubbish, which
often collects around the barn
and outbuildings, may be ta-
ken away. thus making the
house and grounds look as if they
were properly cared for.-Agri-

The Man who Thought he New
er Prayed.

The Rev. Mr.. Kilpin, passed a
very profance man, and having
omitted to rebuke him, he await
ed him in the morning in the
same place. When he approach
ed,Mr. Kilpin, said.
Good morning, my friend, you
are the mani have been waiting
for.
o, sir, said the man, you are
mistaken, l think.
l do not know you; but l saw
you last night when you were 60
ing home from work, and / have
been waiting some time to see
you.
Sir, you are mistaken; it could
not have been me; l never saw
you in my Lie before, that j know
of.
Well, my friend, saId Mr.. Kill
pin, / heard you pray last night.
Now L assure you that you are
mistaken;I never prayed in all my
life.
o, said Mr.. Kilpin, Ii God had
answered your prayer last night,
you had not been seen here this
morning. 1 heard you pray that
God would destroy your eyes, and
ruin your soul. m
The man turned pale, and
trembling said:
Do you call that prayers l did,
did. .f.rr
We'll then my errand this morn
ing is to request you from this
day to pray as fervently for your
salvation as you have done for
damnation; and may God in mer-
cy hear your prayerl III
The man from that time became
an attendant on Mr.. Kilpin's min
istry, and it ended in his early
conversion to God.

Preservation of Pence Posts

Fence posts, if allowed to be
come thoroughly seasoned before
set into the ground,will be more
than twice as durable and season
ed posts may be made to last al
age by the application ofa heavy
coat of coal tar to the portion.
buried in the earth and a few
inches above the surface of the
ground. Some recommend sea
soning the post well before set
ting it,and when the post-hole is
filled within ten inches of the sur
face of the ground, to apply {
heavy coat of tar and fill up
with earth. Owing to the fact
that fence posts always decay
first near the surface of the
ground, tits not necessary to pro
tect the post more than a few
inches above the surface and g
foot below it.

Dog VS.. Sheep.

Official report show in Ohio an
annual loss of sheep of 81, 900, 900
in injuries "a loss equivalent to
5000, 600 pounds Of wool, Or a
tax of two per cent. upon the to-
tai sum invested in sheep in that
State. 1t is said that in two
years, from 1868 to 1870. Illinois
sank from the sixth to the ninth
rank among the States in the
number and value of its sheep,
and this great falling off is attri-
buted to the proportionate in
crease in the number of dogs, ,and
the lack of proper legislation to
prevent their ravages among the
sheep. In Maryland, the returns
from five-counties report over l.
100 sheep killed in one year by
dogs.

A Good Temper.

Good temper is the sunshine
of the domestic circle, and must
be priced and cultivated accord
ingly. Fretfulness; peevishness.
sullenness, bitterness and anger
must be viewed as so many hiss
ing snakes and driven from every
hearth that claims the distinction
ofbeing happy When tempted
to give way to any ill-feeling, self
restraint mustIbe exercised and
mutual forbearance shown.
Much will be accomplished by
carrying out the determination
that both shall never lose their
temper at the same time-the one
bringing water where the
other brings fire. "Let them
treat each others feelings,vi it has
been well said, with lenity, and.
learn to be, as occasion serves,
blind deaf and dumb especially
dumb. Not sullenly dumb, but
serenely dumb. Not silent from
moodishness and passion, but
silent from reason and affection,
looking out the while like a mar
iner in a dark night for the first
streaks of the dawn, and hailing
it with a grateful welcome. Al
gentle contrast, a wen arranged
diversity, gives relish to mar
ried life. 1t is the necessary con-
dition, however, of such a diver
sity that the parties should view
things occasionally from a differ
ent point of view, and wisdom
will be required, therefore, by
mutual concessions, gentleness,
good humor, and forbearance, to
prevent such diyersities of taste |
and opinion becoming the source
ofquarrel. Irritation; or, to use
a phrase of modern coinage, mag
gle. A clergyman, who had tied |
the marriaged knot for many a |
couple was careful always to
say to the bride as his parting
counsel: Besure never to'haYe
the last word-an advice which
is excellent, but which is surpas-
sed by the recommendation that
neither party should take the first
one.

Bread and Meat.

According to Meyers expert.
'ments, neither man or dog can be
fed economically upon bread
alone. To say nothing of health
a much less amount of food will
support life and strength when a
small percentage of it is com
posed of meat. Persistence in
bread diet Meyer found to make
the tissues watery, land to weaken
the constitution. Yet in this
country, according to our obser-
vation, it is a more frequent err
ror to eat too little than too much
bread.
