THE AUGURIEs.-Thec city is quiet
ing down after the great stir caused
I by the Conservative Convention
The nominations made by that great
and magnificent body of men are the
subjects of universal congratulatiOn
among Our citizens. IL Is felt that If
the Incompatible ticket nominated
cannst be elected-and elected, too,
by a triumphant maiOrity-no ticket
that could have been framed would
have had any chance of success Be
tween KENIPER and WITHERs the
choice had long since been narrowed
down, and the Conservative masses
were divided between them. Each
had an imposing array of devoted and
enthusiastic friends throughout the
State, who were represented fairly IN
the convention II tnrned out that
the friends of Gen. KEAIPER cOnstitu-
ted large majority, and to his hands
the standard OF our party was COM
mitted. The Swiss patriots IN their
early struggles for liberty were accus-
toned to call the officer who bore
their standard 'EBanneret. General
KEMPER is the Banneret of the Nir-
ginia Conservatives, and all that We

standard he bears and follow him to
a ssured victory. By happy inspire
non the stin of defeat, If defeat there
was, was c iunteracted by selecting
Col. WTHERs for the second place
on the ticket, and his crest, like the
white plume of HENRY of Navarro,
will lead to honor and success. Then
comes that intrepid veteran whose
clarion voice has often been heard in
the political contests in Virginia ami
mating his party and pointing out the
path to triumph Under three such
leaders as KEMPER, WITHKRs and DAN
IEL, with such a spirit as animated
the convention, and with the resolate
purpose everywhere manifested by
the Conservative hosts, may We not
confidently claim that all auguries
are with us ? We all feel victory, as
people are said to feel Christmas

DoN'F GO IN DEBT.-FrankIin said,
''when you run in debt you give an
other power over your liberty. -
Our old friend Franklin was a prscti-
cal man and uttered many wise and
truthful sayings. They were truthful
and applicable sayings in his day,
and are Just as truthful now. Young
men and young women-the golden
rule of life is ''keep out of debt" II
you have not the means to pay for
beef, eat dry brcad-but don't go in
debt. If you can't pay for silk dress,
don't order it, but select calico one
and plank down your cash, but dou't
go in debt. This is how to be free.

AN INcIDENT.-The following
truthful incident is related of Gen.
Pat. Cleburne:
On the march of his division
from Columbia to Nashville, he
spied one Of his veterans marching
along the rough turnpike in his
bare feet, which were bruised and
bleeding. Calling the soldier TO
his horses side, (the General being
mounted) he directed him to pull of
his boots. which being done he re-
quested the soldier to put them on
his own bleeding feet. This the
soldier refused to do saying "thcy
are your boots, General, and not
Mines "Put them on, sir" replied
Gen. Cleburne. l order you to do
so at once; I'm your superior officer,
and will have my orders obeyed-
besides, what does a man on horse
back want with boots on his feet2
The soldier obeysd. In 8 few
hours afterward the brave and self
sacrificing General was killed while
leading a charge at the battle of
Franklin.

To comprehanl q mans life, it is
necessary to know not merely what
he does, but also what he purposely
leaves undone. There is a limit to the
work that can be got out of-a human
body or a human brain, and he is a
wise man who wastes no energy on
pursuits for which he is not fitted,
and he is still wiser who, from among
the things that he can do well, choo-
ses and resolutely follows the best

ham says:

An observant lady says she was
never so much inclined to laugh in
church as on recent Sunday, when
walking down the broad aisle after
service, she saw that every woman
ahead of her was using her left hand
in arranging that portion of her
dress adorning her back, and be-
fore she was aware of it found her
self similarly employed.

MEN WHO Wis WoNEN.-God has
so made the sexes that women, like
children. cling to men, lean upon
them for protection, care and love
look up to them as though they
we're superior in mind and body.
They make them the sun OF their
system, and they and their children
revolve around them. Men arc
gods, if they but knew it.
Women, therefore, who have
good minds and pure hearts, want
men to lean upon Think of their
reverencing a drunkard, a liar, a
fool or a libertiRe. II a man would
have 4 woman do him homage, he
must be manly il every sense; a
true gentleman, not after the Ches-
terfeld school, but polite, because
his heart is full of kindness to her,
because she is d woman; who never
condescends to say silly things to
her; who brings her up to his level,
if his mind is above hers; who is
never over anxious to please, but
always. anxious to de- right; who
has no time to be frivolous with her;
always digniied in speech and act;
who never spends too much upon
her; who never yields to tempta-
tion, even if she puts it in his way;
who is ambitious to make his mark
in the world, whether she encour-
II 4
miliar with her to the extent Of be-
ing an adopted brother or cousin;
who is not over careful about dress;
always pleasant and considerate.
but always keeping his place Of the
man, the head, and never losing it.
Such department, with noble prin-
eiples, a good mind. energy, and
industry; will win any woman in
the world who is worth winning.

Cool WATER FOR THE HARVEST.
One Of the great diseomforts OF
the harvAst field, where ice is not
used, is the mawkish warmth which
the drinking water acquires, after
being carried out to the field. This
may be easily Obviated however,
and a cool dranght always be had.
When the water is carried in large
Jugs, all that is necessary is TO en-
velope them in several folds of coarse
cotton or linen cloths, kept con-
stantly wet. The evaporation of
the moisture in the cloths, keeps the
vessel perfectly cool, and Just in
| proportion as the evaporation OF
either or other exceedingly volatile
substance in a draught is sometimes
employed as an experiment to freeze
substances in the hottest weather.
And the experiment may be made,
in a degree, by successfully wetting
the finger and holding it up IN the
breeze.
If the harvest force be large and
barrel be used, il should be more
thickly enveloped with cloths, and
whatever vessel be used it should
be carefully shaded, but is better II
OA pOScu 70 tnc air W HCHGNIA
water is taken for drinking, enough
should be poured on the cloths to
keep the evaporation perfect.
WHISKY. is said that one hun
dred and thirty thousand places are
licensed to sell spirituous liquors.
Three hundred and ninety thOus-
and persons are employed in these
grog shops. If we add to them the
number employed in distilleries
and wholesale liquor shops, we
shall have at least $4,000 persons
employed in sending their fellow
mortals to premature graves. In
the National Beer Congress, at
their ninth annual session, at New
ark New Jersey, in 1869, the Pres
ident presented statistics showing
the whole amount of capital en-
plOyed, directly and Indirectly, in
the manufacture of beer to be Sl05,-
600, 900, giving employment to So
663 men. Crime is mostly caused
by drunkenness. Criminals cost
America 100000 per year.
The liquor traffic annually sends to
prison 100000 persons, reduces
1000, 900 children to a state worse
than orphanage, sends 90 900 anhu-
ally TO drunkard's graves, and
makes 10000 drunkards. The peo-
pie of America, aecOrding 70 the
report of Commissioners Wells,
swallowed from the counters of re-
tail grOg shops in one year, poison
liquor to the value of 81, ,573, ,4Sl,-
$50. This terrible business against
the laws of God and man is rapidly
increasing, and loudly calls for
some measure of protection.-West-

Two old Dutch neighbors in Pennsylvania
we're proyerbially steady, stupid, and honest
they had carried on their transactions with their
neighbOrs aud each other for years, on the sys-
TEN of ready pay in cash OF barter, but at last
hard times came, aud they were obliged to resOrt
TO keeping accounts.
One day they met for settlement, and after
much hard labor and figuring it was made appa-
rent that Hauns owed Yawkob twenty dollars.
"Well, Yawkob, how must me settle him now
Use got no moneysh."
"Yaw, yaw, neber mind, dat We can settle in
init notesh," said YawkOb, who prided himself on
being posted up in the ways of doing business at
the store.
"oh! yaw, mid notesh. Veil den, you writes
de notesh."
"Dat ish not right" said Yawlob, "you owes
de moneysh you writes the nOtesh-I signs i'm
dat ish de way"
So Hauns set abOut it and produced the follow
ing:
l Wastmoreland knounty, i Owsh Yawkob
dwenty tollars For settle Up wen Hash mon
eysh do Pay him.
Sign, YawkOb.
To which document Yawkob, the creditor, af-
fixed his signature.
Then arose unforeseen difficulty; which of
the two ought TO keep the motel
1t wGs finally decided that Hauns should keep
it-fOr how else would he know how much to pay
YswlIobi Iu due time, when Hauns, the debtor,
got the money, be paid up, and thas raised an
other puzzling question, ended in the conclusion
that YawkOb must take the note in his keeping,
so that he would know that Hauns had paid the
money.

selecting Nyhent for seed.

No fact is more evident than that, if wheat
with which is mixed the seeds of weeds, chess
barley, rye OF other grains, is used for seed, the
crop harvested will not be good clean wheat
1t is equally certain that poorly developed, un.
ripened or diseased wheat kernels cannot be ex-
pected to produce superior wheat. Yet many
farmers knowing these things, pay little atten-
tion to selecting wheat for seed No farmer should
ever SOW dirty" wheat under any circumstances.
This year there should be special pains taken in
many parts of the country where the wheat crop
was almost entirely failure. 1t will be much
better to procure seed from considerable dis
tance and at an increased expense than to rely
on that which is not suitable for the purpose In
all ordinary cases the fact that such is the best
you have is not a sufficient reason.
Care in selecting varieties is also important. II
variety has failed in yOur vicinity year after
year, try something else, no matter how good a
reputation this variety may have formerly had.
The fact that white wheat brings higher
price in the market than the amber or red wheat
of the same quality, should he taken into consid-
Grafton. OF two varieties, equal in hardness,
ETC., of course the white should be selected. In
getting wheat from q distance, if you want it
earlier than that you now have 60 south for it
if later, go north for seed. Do not be induced TO
sow largely of any variety simply because it has
done well in other,paces, especially if these local
tiles are at a considerable distance.-Okio Farmer.

when 90 Deaden Timber.

A correspondent whose communication appear
ed in our last, wishes to know when is the best
time for deadening young timber, to prevent its
sprOuting from the roots. We have before us
| several articles upon the subject, nearly all oi
which say the proper time is when the sap runs
freest, which is generally in the latter part Of
the 9Th month (August)
Most of the articles before run much like
the following from the pen of II. b. Palmer, in
the Ohio Farmer:
In regard to the best time for cutting trees to
deadeD the roots and stumps, and so prevent the
sprouts and stumps from growing, would brief
ly state, that the best time is in the month Of
August, in the old moon when the sign is in the
heart if it should so happen; when the moon
is smallest, if new when it is nearest to the last
quarter when the sign is as mentioned.
During the month of August greater guanti-
ty of sap is excluded from the roots, being in the
body and branches of the tree, than at any other
season of the year-therefore depriving the roots
of the most important nutriment for sending
forth sprouts.
As whimsical as this may seem to you and the
numerous readers of your excellent paper, it is
nevertheless trne, and one trial will convince
the most skeptical. This year the time for cut
ting will be best from the 10th to the 26th of
August.
The same correspondent also wishes to know
what is the best plan for setting woodland in
grass.
This subject is treated at some length in a dis
cussion before the State Board of Agriculture, in
January, 1852.
The plan there recommended is to cut off the
saplings and deaden the useless timber, leaving
from fifty to one hundred trees to the acre.
Grass will do but little good in a thick woods,
and it is difficult TO get it started. The leaves
should be burned off in the fall, and the seed
sOwn the following spring. Perhaps sowing the
seed the same fall would answer well.
1t is very difficult to set woodland in grass,
when it is covered with leaves Blue grass, for
woodland is strongly recommended though other
kinds might be sOwn with it.-Indiana Farmer.
