A PRGrTy 0RNAMENT 49, Here is some
thing pretty that is within the reach Of
every little girl. Try it;
" Take white sponge of large size, aud
sow it full Of rice, oats, or wheat. Then
place it for week or ten days in shallow
dish Of water, and as the sponge will absorb
the moisture, the seeds will begin to sprout
before many days. When this has fairly
taken place, the sponge may be suspended
by means of cords from hook in the top
Of the window, where little sun will en-
ter. 1t will then become like mass of
green, and can be kept wet by the mere
immersion of il 10 bowl Of water"

CnEEEfUL.-A jolly farmer writes as
follows
The happiest man Just now is the indie
pendent farmer who has barn full of hay,
a cellar full Of vegetables, barrel of pork
and beef, a farm, unincumbered good
wood lot for fuel, and a few " cowpon
bonds" to collect interest on. lie can
laugh at the calamity which threatens the
capitalist who is paying two per cent a
month on his obligations, and mock the fear
that cometh to the mechanic whose only
source of bread and meat may be shutting
down before his eyes"

Our correspondent expresses our views
exactly. We doubt not he has used his
brains to some purpose in his business, and
finds that the profits Of farming, like the
profits Of all other kinds Of work, are pro.
portioned to the thought, intelligence put

GAINESVILLE FEMALE ACADEMY,

EDITORS CHRONICLE: l see it an
nOunced in the papers that DIR. West
is about to retire from the Presidency
of this fourishing School, and that
the Rev. Jas. NJ Wright, A. NJ, has
been secured to fill the vacancy. In
this arrangement, Athens Female In
stitate loses her able President, and
GAINESVILLE Academy secures Presi-
dent of whom she may well be proud.
North Alabama gives up one of her
best educators, and Tennessee gains a
man of sterling worth. Nj. Wright
has devoted many years to teaching
making it his life-work He will come
to his new charge in the full vigor of
manhood's middle prime" ripe
scholar and rich in experience How
ever much we hate to give him up in
North Alabama, yet we are glad to be-
lieve that his new position will open a
wider field for his capacities as an edu-
Gator.
The GAINESVILLE Academy with its
past success and present glory-with
Rev. JAS NJ Wright at the helm-is
bound to have a grand and successful
future. We know something of Mr..
Wright's antecedents, his vast resour-
ces of knowledge, his gifts in impart-
ing instruction, his administrative
ability, and we cheerfully introduce
him to his new patrons, as one of the
first educators of the South.

Greenwood Cemetery.

See, in another column, the adver-
tisement of the opening and dedication
of Greenwood Cemetery and first sale
of lots. This beautiful resting place
Of the dead will, on that day-21st
of June-be the scene of imposing
ceremonies and appropriate addresses
which should secure the presence and
elicit the sympathies of our entire pop
ulation, together with that of the sur
rounding country. There is no greater
outward evidence of the refinement and
moral tone of city than the beauty
of its cemetery and the tasteful care
bestowed upon the narrow beds in
which lie the earthly remains of those
we have loved and buried. To the
people of the adjacent country, this
subject should appeal with peculiar
force. In the vicissitudes offortune, it
may, and often does happen, that the
family burying grounds pass into the
possession of strangers, and fully as
often, neglect and the pillow obliterate
every trace of the spot hallowed by af-
fiction. Would not the former own
ers of such family cemeteries be rem
dered happier, when far away, by the
cOnsoling reflection that the graves
of their dead are cared for and beau
titled by the watchful superintendent
of those entrusted with the careful
keeping of the city cemetery? Such
considerations do, we think, appeal
more strongly to those in the country
than to the citizens Of the town. We
hope the former will view it in this
light and hasten to provide beautiful
and ever protected resting place for
their dead

DIED.

In this city, on the 2ith inst, an infant
son of A. L. and H. Z. Whitaker, aged
days.
In Ihis city, on the sd inst, of consump-
ton, Mr.. e. F. DAVIDSON, in the Slst year of
his age.
1t was my privilege to visit him often
during his illness OF eighteen months, to
which he was meekly resigned. He was
conscious almost to the last, and fully real
lied that he was nearing the end of his
earthly pilgrimage. He met death with
that christian calmness which nothing but
the presence of our dear Redeemer can give
to the dying. "Glory! Glory Glory !"was
the last articulate sound whispered from
his quiyerihg lips. Oh, what an evidence
of the victory he had gained, and what
heritage TO leave his bereaved wife. And
to-day, in the spirit land, among the just
made perfect, he does not whisper but
shouts, Glory! Glory! Glory to God, our
Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier.
"Life's duties done, as sinks the day,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combined to say
How blest the righteous when he dies,

THE rains of the past week, promise
to be productive Of much damage to
crops. Rust is making its appearance
in the wheat fields: But little ground
has been prepared for tobacco, and
from appearances, the plants will be
over-grown before they can be trans
planted. Grass and weeds are
contending, aud too successfully,
for ascendancy, in fields and gardens.
The outlook, therefore, is by no means
fattering to the hopes of the farmer.
