Raising Turnips.

We begin now, long in advance
of the usual time of sowing, and we
urge upon our farmers the sugges-
ton of sowing large crop of tur-
nips this summer and fall. We ask
them to look out now and begin to
select and prepare suitable piece
of land, and as near the homestead
as possible for convenience of gath
ering.
Turnips are a profitable crop, if
grown on rich land. Five hundred
bushels to the acre are often grown
at cost of about fifteen dollars,
including gathering and putting
them in cellar, root house, or
burying them, making the cost only
three cents a bushel. Some varie-
tics may be sown in July, the fiat
variety in particular, which is fire.
quently sown among corn immedi-
ately after the last hoeing. Care
should be taken not to sow the seed
too thick, as thinning out is not
generally practiced when grown in
this way; nor is any wedding done.
This is decidedly the cheapest way
they can be grown. Cover the seed
by brush drag drawn between the
rows of corn. Some farmers object
to growing turnips to feed cows, on
account of giving milk an unpleas
ant flavor but this is obviated by
feeding the turnips, either when
in the morning, or immedi-
ately after mi'Sing.-[N. c. Farmer.

How to Make Farming Pay.

Raise corn and grasses. Feed
them to your stock, save the ma
nure for your own land, and thus
you will make handsome profit of
your stock, and at the same time
add to the value of your lands.
Fine pork, beef, mutton and wool,
horses and mules, always command
fair prices. Cotton does not pay
except as surplus crop, and then
it must be grown at less expense
than is usually put upon it. But
with wheat, corn, hay, peas and
oats, and stock TO fatten, there will
be sure road to independence. All
over the South there are farmers
who are prepared to reconstruct
their farming operations, and to
grow less cotton and more stock,
and we could hope that the number
we're daily increased.

How can a man expect his credi-
tors to believe his stories about
"hard times" "no money" and
''ruin staring him in the face" when
his wife promenades the street at
tired like Solomon in all his glory?
The credit of woman's husband in
the business world often depends
upon the style in which she, her
daughters and sons appear in public
1t is creditable neither to the hon
esty nor COED sense of a family to
live beyond their means, and suspi-
cion and doubt fastens upon indi-
who are known TO be living
a life of financial deception, no mat
ter whether he be politician or
preacher, laborer or lawyer, mer-
chant or mechanic .-Naskpille Anaer

A garden is an assemblage of female
emblems, a harem of metaphors.
There is no woman of any age, con
dition or appearance, but has her
resemblance among flowers. Some
blossom early, like the violet, and
like it, lose their sweetness early;
others reach longer perfection,
like the gillihower The manners
of some women are humble and be-
seeching, like the forget-me-not;
while others look the world full in
the face, like those tall flowers
which follow the sun. One woman
is as full of pleasantness as the
thyme of lovely scent; while anoth-
er's words are like the unpleasant
odor inside the lips of snap
dragon.
Some females are as full of words
as the dog rose is of blossoms;
while others are like the Provence
rose, which has only two or three
blossoms at time, but those large
and fragrant. Daisies are like lit
tie girls; the dafodil is the peasant,
and the columbine the maiden lady
of fifty Some ladies are like
certain vines, Haunting all over with
blossoms, which fail the posessor
with the first frost of misfortune;
while others lift their modest heads
like snow drops out of the icy
ground.
The catalogue is numerous, and |
observation tells whether the sur
face of life be hardened and desolate,
or if there are seeds of happiness

A new beauty, says Truth, has
appeared upon the horizon of Lon
don. She is from the Channel
Islands, and is the daughter OF the
Dean of st. Heliers. Mr.. Millais
was the troubadour who first told
nations that she was beautiful by
offering TO paint her portrait. $50
eiety" has gone mad over her. The
other day, at party, she was posi-
lively mobbed, and more than one
Duchess climbed upon a chair to
gaze upon her. Since the advent of
this beautiful heiress, all former
social lions waste their dewdrops on
the desert air, and vainly roar; no
one pays more attention to them
than if they were common puppy
dogs.

Fortunes are made, as a rule, by
small accretions-a nickel to-day, a
dime tomorrow and a dollar the
next. Sudden fortunes are not oft
en- made and they do not always
stick; but those made by industry
constant ticks, and by honesty, will
stand the test and can be handed
down to posterity with a guarantee
that they will prove blessing and
not a curse.

o George. what a DamseI.

From London Fun.
She was young and fair, and a
tear gIistened in her eye as she laid
her curly head on his shoulder and
exclaimed; 80 George. I think if
/ found you did not love me l
should die.v "My darling" he
answered, passing his hand gently
around her dimpled chin, Il will al
ways love you. Do you think l
would marry you if did not feel
sure of it. In a few days at the
altar / shall vow to love you all my
life, and 1 will keep my VOW" A
lovely kind of beatifc happiness
played for moment like sunshine
on her bps, and then she whis-
pered: 30 George! like to hear
you talk like that; you have been
so good to me. You have given me
a diamond locket, and a gold watch
and chain, and rings that an angel
might wear outside her gloves
and not be ashamed, and if l
thought that one day you'd be
sorry you'd given me all those nice
things and want them back again /
should break my heart" He held
her gently against his manly breast,
and answered with a quivering
voice: 90 my own darling! there
is nothing on earth that could hap
pen that would make me repent Civ
ing you a few tokens of my love, or
make me want them back again
She sprang from his arms like a joy
Gus deer, she shook back her sunny
curls, and, with whole poem in
her hazel eyes. exclaimed: go
George! you have taken load from
my heart. I've come to say that /
can't marry you after all, because
I've seen somebody l like better,
and l thought you'd want your
presents back again

WOmen's Economies and En-
durance.

Ourance.
New York Sun: DR.. Talmage
said, as he began yesterdays SER
mon, that the reason he had preach
ed ten sermons to men and none to
women, was that the women are
better than men. He did not say
this out of compliment or in gal
lantry, although when women are
bad, they're dreadful. Laughter. |
Statistics prove this. They have
fewer temptations, are naturally
more reverential and loving, and it
is easier for them to become chris
tians. "They are in the majority
in the church on earth and / sup
pose they viii. be three fourths of
the population in heaven" In a
beautiful homestead in Bethany a
widow was left to take charge of the
premises. The pet of the house
was Mary, a younger sister, Who
with a book under her arm, has no
appearance of anxiety or perturba
tion. Christ and several friends
arrived at the house. They
did not keep HIM waiting till they
adjusted their dress, and, after two
or three knockings hasten to the
door, and say, "Why is that you?"
No. They were ladies, and always
presentable, though they might not
have on their best If we always
had on our best, our best would
not be worth having on. Laughter.
They thew open the door and
greeted Christ with, "Good morning.
Be seated" Martha went of to the
kitchen, while Mary, believing in
division of labor said, martha, you
go and cook, and / will sit down |
and be good" Laughter. Some
thing went wrong in the kitchen.
Perhaps the fire fire would not burn,
or the bread would not bake, or
Martha scalded her hand. At any |
rate, she lost her patience; and with /
besweated brow, and possibly with
pitcher in one hand and the tongs
in the other, rushed into the pres
ence OF Christ, saying, Lord, dost
thou not care that my sister hath
left me to serve alone?' But Christ
scolded not word,not word. He
seemed to say: my dear woman,
don't worry. Let the dinner go.
Sit down on this ottoman beside
Mary, your humble sister" When
a man comes home from business
and sees his wife worn out, he
thinks she ought to have been in
Wall street, and then she would
have had something to worry her.
He does not know that she con-
ducts a university, a clothing es-
adjustment, a restaurant, a laun.
dry, and a library while she is
health officer, police and president
of her residence. Great laughter.
They have to contend with severe
economy. Ninety-nine out of a
hundred are subjected to it. If
man smokes very expensive cigars
and eats costly dinners in New
York, he is very DESTROYS of making
five dollars do the work of seven at
home. The wife Is banker at home.
The wife is a banker in the house
hold. She is president, cashier, tel
Ter and discount clerk; and there's
a panic every few weeks. Laughter.
This severe discipline will make
heaven very attractive to you.
There will be no rents to pay.
Every man viii live in his own
house which will be MANSION at
hat. If Stewards Fifth avenue
were lifed into the celes-
,ial city, glorious glorified Lazarus,
Who sat in rags on earth, would be
ashamed to enter it.

The hair of children should new
er be plated or braided or twisted
or knotted. Nothing should ever
be put on it except simple pure
water, and even this not until the
scalp is cleaned. The hair should
be kept short, and should be always
combed leisurely and for some con
siderable time, at least every morn
ing, and neither brush nor comb
ought to be allowed to pass against
the direction of the hair growth.
And if at any time any falling off
is observed, and it is desirable to
arrest it sooner than mere cleanli-
ness and improved health would do
it; one of the most accessible wash
es is boiling water poured on tea
leaves, which have already been
used and allowed to stand twelve
hours, then put in a bottle. 1t
should be of moderate strength.

Marriage is the mother of the
world and preserves kingdoms, and
fills cities, and churches, and heav-
en- itself. An unmarried man, like
a fly in the heart of an apple, dwells
in a perpetual sweetness, but dwells
alone, and is confined and dies in
singularity. But marriage, like the
useful bee, builds a house, and
gathers sweetness from every flower,
and labors and unites into societies,
and republics, and sends out colo
mics, and feeds the world with deli
caeies, and exercises many virtues,
and promotes the interest of man
kind, and is the state OF good things
to which God hath designed the
constitution of the world.

Useful Suggestions.

The best way to boil eggs is not
to boil 'em at all. Put them in a
tin dish tight and set back where
the water will merely keep hot; let
it stand from ten to fifteen minutes,
according to the size of the eggs,
or the preference of the eaters for
''hard" or "soft." The effect is
quite different from that produced
by boiling; both the flavor and tex
ture of the egg being so superior
to any other way of cooking by
means of hot water that those who
have tried it will hardly be likely
to return to the old way.

A Heroine Right or WRONG.


We were the witness of a tender
and beautiful scene in 1861. 1t
was early in May, and fair young
Louisiana girl was bidding her
soldier lover good bye. Her head
was bowed upon his breast, and she
was weeping bitterly. But when
he besought her to dry her tears
and display brave heart, she lifted
her head, and looking him proudly
in the face said: 81 am weeping be-
cause you are going where there is
danger and probably death, but"
and the blood mantled to her white
cheeks, ''if you were not going, you
would see me blush and bow my
head in shame Once again we
saw that girl. A division of Federal
troops were attacking a body of
Confederate cavalry near where she
was taking refuge, in cull view of
her house, and the shells and round
shot Kissed over the village and
plunged through its streets, and
there she stood gazing eagerly at
the battle, needless of shot and
shell, as though they had been rose
leaves scattered around her by the
autumnal wind; her hands were
her cheeks were whittier
than lilies; her whole form seemed |
to heaye with excitement; but there
was a battle fire in her blue eyes.
BY heavens we believe that had it |
been possible she would have dash
ed into the thickest of the fight; |
her very soul seemed to glory in
the blaze and thunder of the battle.
That girl had the heart of Richard
Ceur de Lion. But she faded away
with the strength of the Confed
eracy, and then they dressed
her in white robes, folded her hands
on her bosom and laid her away;
and when the last ragged Conted-
crate had surrendered their guns
her. soul had vanished from the
Orleans Democrat.
