ADVICE TO PATRONS AND AMATEUR
GARDENERs.-Make your paths
smooth, but don't rake up those
buried griefs. discarded hoop.skirts
or half iorgotton injuries. Hoe out
your enemies, the weeds and all ieels
ing of unkindness that may chance to
rankle in your bosoms. Sow the
seeds OF charity and love, and plant
the principles of virtue in the good
soil of an useful education. Water
the tender plants in your household
garden with good advice, and shield
them from the hot sun of temptation
with the shade of your better exam.
pie. Train the young twigs in vour
family nursery so that they may grow
up straight and handsome trees, that
shall give grateful shade TO the toll
ing wayfarers of the future. Cult
vate the social virtues, so that those
around you may enjoy the fruits o.
your labors for the good of the com
munity. So doing, when the reaper
comes, you shall be ready for thu

If not guarded against, cIarga ihe
object aud purpose Of the movement
/ The business feature Of the grange
has been woiully exaggerated aud
misrcptesenled tor purposes Of gain,
and has had pormcious eject, fom
/ the fact, that many in aud out Of the
order believe this to be The grand oh.
iect and ultimatum oftbe grange.
1t should be remembered that there
is a lime for all things, and in the
grange, there should be a certain
time for.busitess, 50 there coul be some
time devoted to matters equally as
important, yet less practical a nature.
This is necessary for many and grave
reasons, the greatest being, the pres
ence Of ladies, who, though appreci.
ating fully the practical issues of life
nevertheless enjoy the social treat
afforded by the meetings of the
grange, and desire. and justly merit,
some time, in which TO indulge them
selves. And where the whole time Of
the grange is occupied with matters
Of business, there must be, at least
upon the part Of the ladies and young
men, an indifference and wcariness,
which would not exist. was there
more sociobility, and results in the
of members, especial
ly lady members, this because the
ladies love the grange more for its
social qualities than any other at
tribute. Not that the ladies take no
interest in the great battle which is
to secure to the farmer, Lis rights and
privileges, for our experience has
shown .the contrary. The success of
the grange depends largely upon its
social nature and this must not he
made subyelsive to business. The
real merits of the grange, and tie
beneficial results are not so mnch in
dollars and cents as in the higher
principles of intellectual and social
which elevates the
sphere OF the farmer from mere physi. |
cal labor to that Of Intelligent thinks
ing men.
The principles Of the grange, is to
stimulate all legitimate business, by |
raging cash for whatever is bought,
and encouraging home manufacturing
by pa,ronizing them in preference to
sending further off, and thus fully re-
alizing the benefits of the discussions
in the grange meetings, will greatly
benefit farmers socially and intellect>
ually, and as a result of this improve
uent, there will lie financial benefit.
The false impressions made upon the
minds OF many Patrons by ignorant
and schcming men, particularly as re
CARDS the business phase Of the order
has done more towards paralyzing
the usefulness of the grange, than any
other cause, and the masters and
lecturers of TIE several oranges should
at once 1isabuse the minds Of the
members upon this matter. They
should post themselves thoroughly |
upon the objects, aims ard purposes OF
the order, and then impress them upon
the members of the grange. G. X. b.

the use of tobacco in any form, and
after six years OF abstinence, writes as

could not be made the basis of con-
tract between the State and the hold
ers thereof, by which the State would
be bonad to receive them for taxes
due the State after the usurped gov
eminent should cease to exist, and
the legitimate government should be
restored. 1t follows that because
the contract arising under the 18th
section of the bank charter. during
the existence Of the usurped State
government. was not under the pro-
lection of the Federal Constitution,
ib was competent for the legislature
OF the restored State government to
repudiate the alleged contract, and
to refuse to receive the notes in pay
ment of taxes assessed to support
the restored legitimate State govern
ment. The legislature of the usurp-
ing government had no power by re-
epaeting the 9th section of the bank
charter to impose upon the State an
obligation which the legislature of
the restored legitimate State gov
ernment would be bound to carry
out. 1t follows that there was no
error 10 the refusal of the court be-
low TO grant a aperemptory mandamus.

From the Nashyille Union and American.

From the Nashville Union aud American.
About o'clock last evening the Chief
of Police was summoned from the sta
tion-house to a tenement house on Front
street, Just north Of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad to look after a man
who, the messenger said, 'swas trying TO
kill himself" Capt Yater FASTENED to
the spot, not knowing what state Of af-
fairs he would find. 1t was house oc-
eupied by girls of a disreputablee eclass.
The Captain found yoHng man stretch
ed across a bed in one of the rooms, rap
idly sinking under the effects of a heavy
dose of morphia.
DIR. Francis NJ. Hughes was called in
rs soon as possible, bat before he arrived
and in spite of the efforts made by those
present to give relief, the life of the
suffer was despaired of, and the physician
at first thought him past relief. Under
vigorous treatment, however, he revived,
and st last accounts was in fair way to
recover. An empty bottle labeled " So
1ution of Morphia, Coz, was found near
at hand. He had taken the contents of
this, and, as he himself confessed, for
the purpose of terminating his life. The
trouble was about girl who was found
at his bedside exhibiting bitter distress
over, what she felt sure was dying man,
and one who was something TO her,
fallen as she was.
When the young man recovered his
consciousness and speach, he related to
Capt. Yater most painful and ramarka-
ble story. He loved this young woman.
who until recently, for soma time, had
been an occupantof the Woman's Mis-
sion Home He had loved her before
her admission into that institution and
had hoped to extinguish the tormenting
flame by being thus separated from her.
He found it impossible however, and
when she quit her seclusion he sought
her company again and was overcome
with unspeakable misery. He could not
endure the disgrace and shame of mar
rying her aad he could not cease to
cherish her in his affections. Doubling
fearing, and almost made mad with NOR
tiication, shame and remorse, he was
driven to the attempt to destroy himself.
He evinced great anxiety to keep his
name out Of the papers and pleaded with
Capt. Yater to inteTcede for him in this
matter He said he knew the particulars
of the terrible affair would be published,
but if his name should appear this morn
ing his poor mother would die of grief
and modification. He remarked that if
his name should he published, he g would
never live to see his mother again.
The miserable young man is a book
keeper in the employ of a we'll known
mercantile firm of this city No doubt
he expressed the truth when he told
Capt. Yater, as he did, that he had " suf-
fered ten Thousand deaths in the last
