s9r A very picturesque story is told by a
White Sulphur Springs correspondent of the
Courier Journal, regarding the widow of Gov.
Pickens, of South Carolina. "She was very
much grieved," says this correspondent, calm
ly, cat newspaper article concerning herself,
which spoke of her accepting Gov. Pickens
on condition that he obtained Foreign Mis-
sion. She said that it seemed 80 mercenary
and calculating in a girl of eighteen. The
truth was that she was an only child, and the
Mission to Russia was the mothers objection
to the marriage Gov. Pickens was rejected,
and had taken his passage for Europe. He
wrote farewell letter to his lady love, but
before concluding, said it was not too late for
her to change her mind, for if she would tele-
graph him after receiving the letter, and &C.
cept his proposals, be would meet her in New
Orleans and let the steamer sail without him.
She did accept, and few weeks afterward
they sailed together as man and wife. The
marriage proved happy, nothing but the war
interrupting the course of true love. Cover
nor and Mrs. Pickens returned to South Car
olna about the time that State seeded. Dur
ing their residence in Europe, they had made
many purchases of pictures, statuary, furni-
ture, rare laces and jewels. These arrived at
the port of New York in sailing vessel, a
month after their arrival. Everything was
con6scated. Among the articles we're busts
of the Governor and his wife by Powers. A
New York gentleman purchased these at the
sale, and after the war was over sent them to
the owners in South Carolina"

"GooD MORNING" Don't forget to say
"Good morning." Say it to your parents,
your brothers and sisters, your scho oolmates,
your teachers, your servants and say it cheer
fully, and with smile. There is a kind of
inspiration in every "Good morning" hearth
" and smiliugly spoken that helps to make
hope fresher and work lighter 1t really
seems to make the morning good, and to be a
prophecy of good day to come after it.
And, if this be true of the "Good morning."
it is also true of all kind, hearty greetings:
They cheer the discouraged, rest the tired
one and somehow makes the wheels Of life
run smoothly.

SULPHUR AS A CURE FOR DIPHTHER1A.-
A correspondent ola Victoria, Australia, pa
per, gives the following as cure for diph-
iberia:
"Should you or any of your family be at
tackled with diphtheria, do not be alarmed, as
it is easily and speedily cured without doc
tor. When it was raging in England few
years ago, accompanied DR.. Fields on his
rounds to witness the so-called wonderful
cure he performed, while the patients of Others
were dropping on all Sides The remedy
to be so rapid must be simple. All he took
with him was powder of sulphur and quill,
and with these he cured every patient without
exception. He put teaspoonful of -four of
birthstone into wine glass of water and stir.
red it with his finger instead of spoon, as
the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with
water. When the sui phur was we'll mixed he
gave it as gargle, and in ten minutes the
patient was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast and
plant in few minutes. Instead of splitting
out the gargle he recommended the swallow.
ing of it. In extreme cases in which he had
been called just in the nick of time when the
fungus WAS too uealay cIosiuS W allo" Iue
garg Cling, he blew the sulphur through quill
into the patients throat, and after the fungus
had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling.
He never lost case with diPhtheria. If a
patient cannot gargle, take live coal of fire,
put it on shovel and sprinkle spoonful or
two of -four of birthstone upon it at time !;
let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over
it, and the fungus will die. IF plentiful.
ly used the whole room may be filled almost
to suffocation. The patient can walk about
in it inhaling the fumes with doors and win
dows shut"
A gentleman who has had some opportuni-
ties of knowing, says that when the sulphur
is blown in the throat through quill, it is
apt to strangle. This is the only objection
urged against the remedy.

Doctor AND MUsIcIAN.-A correspond
ent of the Concord IN. H. Monitor, says |:
That a physician in that city, who was at
tending a sick musician during convalescence,
suggested to the latter that it would be agree
able to hear little music during his visits.
The musician fell in with the suggestion and
frequently RECALLED the doctor with the con-
cord of sweet sounds. Time sped rapidly
away, and the day arrived for the presenta-
tion of that little bill for medical attendance,
which amounted to about 500. The bill
was presented, but the worthy physician was
surprised and disgusted by the presentation
of the following counter charges, which he
was ultimately compelled to allow For
playing "Oft in the Silly Night" six varia
tions, ten dollars solo, "Sweet Home" three
variations, five dollars; German Waltz"

FLESH CoLoRED.-She was q very dark
skinned lady, and for all the world knows to
the contrary, the blood of a thousand Afri'
can princes might have coursed its way
throug gh her veins She walked gracefully
into city dry goods house and asked for
Aesh.colored stockings. The young man
bowed, smiled and went to work looking over
his stock in trade. Finally, he brought forth
the box, took the top off and displayed lot
of stockings as black as the hinges of mid
night, which he warranted to be all wool. The
colored lady looked at him, and with the fires
of liberty beaming out of both eyes, she ex-
claimed, "Look here, young man, what do you
mean?" The clerk responded, "business,
madam" "Do you call dem Aesh-colored
stockings?" asked the female customer.
"Well, they may be a shade or two off color,
but ah but ah I should judge from your
complexion that they are about the thing" "
said the clerk. "Look here, young man, I
wants you to understand dat when I buys
fesh-colored stockings, I buys 'em like a
white lady, and I wants you to understand
fudder, sir, dat you am not the judge in this
case. Put dem things back and give me
some stockings according to the white folks
grade" 1t was not long before she left the
store satisfied.

The STORY OF NosE.-Monsieur Arago,
the French statesman and nephew of the as
tronomer, is, in spite of his sixty-fve years, a
very handsome man. He has large nose,
of which he is somewhat proud. A short time
ago he was travelling by train to Versailles,
when child who was in the same carriage,
and who had watched Arago for some time
with dilated eyes, began to cry. In vain did
the child's mother, Arago, and another Sena-
tor endeavor to calm the perturbed Juvenile
The poor mother was in despair, and as the
shrieks grew more and more piercing, Arago
felt bound to interfere and see what he could
do. He said to the child, "What ails you,
my dear2 Are you afraid of me? don't
look very naughty, do II" Thus addressed,
the child sobbed out, "Take off your nose"
Arago looked at the mother, who grew very
confused and said, "Ah! Monsieur, excuse
me excuse my son." "But, Madame" said
Arago, "what does he meant" The mother
then explained that she had, during the car
nival, taken her child to see number Of per-
sons in masks and with false noses, and he had
got so excited that he could think of nothing
else. "By an unfortunate occurrence" she
added, 1--WE got into the same carriage as you,
who, for no doubt some good reason, are pro-
longing the carnival. But you see what
deplorable result has followed. Let me then
beg of you to have pity on a poor mother, and
take off your nose" "But, Madame" said
Arago, stupe6ed. "A little more and my
child will have convulsions," shrieked the
mother stake off your false nose" "But,
Madame" said Arago, in despair, "thst is im-
possible; this is not false nose, but my
own" impossible! Impossible!" cried the
agonized lady. "Touch it," said Arago. The
lady gave pull at the Senator's nose, but it
did not come off in her hand as she had ex-
pected. "a thousand pardons," she said,
"but pray, Oh pray, hide 1t with your hat"
So Arago continued his journey, with his
nose in his hat, and the child's screams grad
ualy subsidized. Arago himself tells the story
with much glee.

GERMAN MILLET.

&c. B. D." correspondent of the Wins
boro Register, who was formerly resident of
Kentucky, and is familiar with the cultiva-
ton of German Millet, writes to that paper
as follows:
Messrs. Editors The following questions
have been asked in your paper concerning
German Millet: "What soil is required how
is it prepared; how the planting is done
what should be the average yield in hay and
seed for an acre; and whether this crop ex-
hausts land more than other crops"
Having had some little experience in its
production, will give the result of my Oh
servation as to its growth and culture. In
the first place, the soil should be either new
fresh loan, or it must be highly manured. 1t
is needless to expect good crop of millet on
poor land. A good piece of land having
been secured, it should be broken up with a
two. horse plough and thoroughly pulverized.
The iced should then be sown on top of the
GROUND, at the rate of about one bushel to
the acre, and covered lightly with brush or a
harrow.
Millet may be planted from the last of
April to the first of August with success, but
I would prefer the earliest date for the surest
crop. An acre of land thoroughly prepared
before planting will yield from three thous-
and to FIVE thousand pounds of good hay and
from forty to seventy.Gve bushels of seed, but
that is more than the average yield for mex
perienced farmers, who do things in great
hurry.
I do not think that millet is more than
usually exhaustive of the soil. A crop that
grows with such luxurianee must necessarily
exhaust the soil to some extent, but think
not more than corn or oats. This, however, is
question I have not thoroughly tested, and
/ must therefore leave it to those whose expe-
rience may warrant more accurate opinion
than can give.

The Work OF CHRIsT.-The effects of the
work of Christ are, even to the unbeliever,
indisputable and historical. 1t expelled cru
elty; it curbed passion; it branded suicide;
it punished and repressed an execrable infan.
ticide; it drove the shameless impurities of
heathendoln into congenial darkness. There
was hardly class whose wrong it did not
remedy. It rescued the gladiator; it freed
the slave; it protected the captive; it nursed
the sick it sheltered the orphan; it elevated
the woman; it shrouded, as with q halo of
sacred innocence, the tender years of the
child. In every region of life its ameliora.
ting influence was felt. 1t changed pity from
vice into virtue. 1t elevated poverty
from curse into beatitude. 1t ennobled
labor from a vulgarity into dignity and a
duty. 1t sancti6ed marriage from little more
than burdensome convention into less than
blessed sacrament. It revealed, for the first
time, the angelic beauty of apurity of which
men had despaired, and of meekness at
which they had utterly scoffed. 1t created
the very conception of charity, and broadened
the limits of it's obligations from the narrow
circle of neighbor to the widest horizons of
the race. And while it thus evolved the idea
of humanity as a common brotherhood, even
where its tidings were not believed all over
the world, wherever the tidings were believed
it cleansed the life and elevated the soul of
each individual man. And in all lands where
it has moulded the character of it's true be-
LEVERS it has created hearts so pure, and
lives so peaceful, and homes 80 sweet, that it
might seem as though those angels who had
heralded its advent had also whispered to ev.
cry depressed and despairing sufferer among
the sons of men-"Though ye have lain
among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of
81 dove, that is covered with silver, and her
feathers like gold. d."-Farrar's Life Of Christ.
n@ The life of Jesus Christ was radical
life. It went to the deep root of things 1t
claimed mems noblest, freest action. We
must bring the heroic into the unheroic lite OF
men, demanding of men true bravery and
selfsacrifce, freedom from conventionality.
We must bring mans life up to Him not
bring Him down to mans life. That is The
Christian pastors law and duty, in echo to
the pastorship of his Master. A large part
of the mistakes of the pastor comes OF our
having too high an estimate of his possibility.
If this be true then what we need to make
US better pastors is more Of that Gospel which
reveals man-imperfect. though, with his
hopes. Jesus was the true pastor in the way
in which be showed men what they we're, and
what they might become. He never deceived,
and never discouraged. His talk with them
brought out, at once, shame and hope. And
when Jesus comes to us now, the same power
combined of shame and hope comes into our
