MAKE YOUR HOMES ATTRACTIVE.

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIvATOR.-ln my
last letter, l said I would show how to CON-
mence making the farm home attractive. In
the first place, I consider locating the house
close to the roadside, one of the greatest mis-
takes that can be made. 1t looks as though
the farm was not large enough for house, or
that it took up too much room, and conse-
ouently had to be showed off to one side.
Now let the house set back from two to three
hundred yards, on some gentle rise of ground,
in order that the drainage may be good, and
a good view over the field in front secured.
Through this field, Git may be an orchard or
a Meadow grade up neat road and walk,
not straight avenue, but regular irregular
drive, starting at such point on the road as
will give the best view to the homestead. II
there is no choice for start, then lay out an
irregular road, and on each side plant shade
trees of oak, maple and elms. Should there
be little stream of water to cross, so much
the better-then a neat rustic bridge could be
built, which would add picturesqueness to
the approach. At the house do not fence in
a small front yard, but large and sufficient
space to give the place an airy and inviting
look, with a few native oaks or elms (f any
standing, to give sufficient shade. If too
many Of these trees are standing, cut some OF
them away, for zoo much shade is unhealthy,
and imparts dreary look to the homestead
in the winter.
As soon as possible, set our near the fence
line hedge of Euonymus or Mock Orange,
which will in few years relieve its owner of
keeping up fences, and give the place an air
of refinement Prepare the lawn for good
carpet of blue grass on which handsome
croquet ground can be laid out, to give your
daug ughters and children an opportunity Of
exercising themselves, as we'll as affording
them extreme pleasure. Make some rustic
seats and place them under these trees. If
you are not skillful in designing such, get
some books that treats of such rural designs
and you will easily learn how. The time for
making these things is rainy day, or during
the winter At intervals plant out Ever
greens, such a. the Cedars, English Laurels,
Arbor Vitae, jumpers, Magnolia, White Pine,
Bushes Of the Euonymus, and also the diff
ferent kinds of Roses, Spireas, Bulbous roots,
and many others, all of which may cheer the
hearts of the faIniy, as they stand here and
there, making company with the birds in the
spring. ,
1 am aware that a great many who read
this will say: this all reads very nice, but
farmer has no time to do this fancy work-hls
crops must be attended to. Now | shall be
obliged to differ with those who may enter
tain any such opinion. A day every now
and then will accomplish it ALL Besides, it is
not to expected that the work of building up
an attractive homestead can be done in one,
two or five years.
In my next 1 will take up the house and
its convenieuces suitable for farmers homes.

KEEP AN ACCOUNT.

It is very good plan for farmers to keep
strict account of their labor. We know
very we'll that the majority of people dislike
to be faced down by columns of figures, when
the sum total shows decided balance against
them but if accounts are kept, the result will
be that greater economy will be practiced in
the long run, and that efforts will be made
on every hand to make the balance favora-
bls This is the time of the year to begin.
The first thing you ought to do is to make an
inventory of everything you have. Make it
carefully and value all your property. Let
it include your acres, houses, utensils, stock.
machinery of all descriptions, as we'll as notes
and all other monetary matters. If there
are any membranes on your property, put
the,n down. Then make up your estimate of
operations for the coming year, and start out
with the determination to live up to it. As
the year progresses, set down all your sales
and purchases, of every desert ption don't
let cent of expense or income escape. Your
family expenses should have separate place
in the book, so that they may be footed into
the general result at the close Of the year,
and still be so distinct as to show for them.

general pleasures You will find in keeping
your account ofincome, that it is good plan
to run each field separate, so that you can, at
the close, see at glance what your profit or
loss has been on each. Keep dates of times
when fields were plowed, how they were cult
waited, and what the labor on each bas cost.
This will teach the farmer, in short time,
which crops are most profitable. In stock,
keep particular record of each animal, with
pedigree, birth and other remarks of interest.
Keep, as we'll, a general diary of events on
the farm for future reference.
You will find plenty of time in which to do
these things. Keeping an account will take
but few minutes each day, and when you
have once begun, you will be surprised to see
how easily it can be done. There is one great
point to be kept in view always, and that
is, to never run in debt. Shun debt as you
would the fire. Strive to live within your
means, and you will have a net result when
you balance your books at the close of the
year, that will surprise and make you glad

such an immense mass of matter was brought
into existence or how it is kept in being.
This earth revoves on its own axis once
in twenty-four hours. This revolution causes
night and day. At the equator, where the
diurnal motion Of the earth is greatest,
its velocity is more than one thousand miles
each hour. What is this compared with the
velocity Of the earth in its annual revolution
round the sum- In one year-from January
to January-the earth moves round the sun
in an eliptical path six hundred millions Of
miles, or at the rate of more than twelve hun
dred miles each minute! Only by faith can
we understand how such speed as this is at
tainable. Notwithstanding the huge size of
the earth and the frightful speed with which
it is revolving about the sun and on its own
axis, there is not the least disturbance-no
noise, no confusion. A child's wagon, drawn
by it's nurse, makes more noise at each revo-
luton of its wheels, than the double revolu-
ton of the earth has made since God pointed
out to it its paths and bid it move in them.
The Bible teaches US that God made the
sun to rule the day, and the moon and stars
to rule the night This we can understand
by faith. In other words, what God has re-
vealed, respecting creation, in his word, is
credible. 1t may be above our reason, but
not contrary to it. The word of God and
the vague theories of mere philosophers may
come in conflict; but right reason and the
Bible are always in harmony.

an ornament to the Texas medical fra
ternity. Dudley G. Wooten was for
some time law student with Hancock
Il West, and is now taking a course in
law at the University.
The Free Press writes it down that
Col. Jack Hays left Texas because he
found it was in contemplation to put
him in some high position, civil or
military, for which his modesty led him
TO believe he Was unit. In these days
of boundless self-seeking aud ''cheek"
1t is positively refreshing to hear of
such man. II verifies the saying that
the bravest and most worthy are the
most modest and retiring. Hays and
his wife left Ssguin for California on a
couple of Spanish ponies, with only $25
in money. He now resides in or near
San Francisco, and is said to be in
good circumstances. he attended the
last Democratic National Convention at
St. Louis, and was noted for his unss-
suming manners The Free Press
grieves over the absence of Hays and
says: 1.-The presence of one such man
would have been a standing rebuke OF
the severest character to the horde OF
loud -mouthed, brsssy political sspi-
rants and Shiny demssogues who in
fest our State. and are worse lnflic
ton than all the plaques of Egypt"

On the twenIy-nInIh of July next
there will be total eclipse of the sun.
Tne path of totslity will cross the
American continent. The phenomenon
will therefore enlist the earnest atten-
ton of American astronomers, because
it will afford them an opportunity of
repeating the remarkable observations
OF 1859, and of confirming the results
which were reached ON that occasion.
Total eclipses of the sun are attended
with some peculiar phenomena which
furnish astronomers with the means OF
Inferring the physical constitution of
our great luminsry. The splendid ex-
hibition of the corona is one of these,
and another of the red protuberances
which fame around the borders of the
sun durIRg 4 total eclipse, but which
are entirely obscured at other times by
the intense brilliancy of the body of
the planet. Until the spectroscope was
discovered the true significance Of
these phenomena might be surmised,
but could not be determined. As.ron-
omsrs might plausibly argue that the
rapidly changing outlines of the rosy
sdges of the SUI, as seen during total
eclipse, could be nothing else but the
play of incandescent gases; but they
could not settle the point by actual ex-
pertinent, and befole Bunsen and KIr-
chof made their memorable discovery
If that instrument, the spec.roscope, it
would have been deemed the fancy
of dreamer or the rawlings of mad
man to say that body separated from
rs by distance of 23. 600, 900 miles
could be subjected to the analysis of
actual experiment.

HoE. JuHN II. REAGAN has produced
brief of constitutional law and of
Supreme Court decisions logically
shaped add injected into concise
speech before Congress, which attracts
much attention. Lawyers especially
value the production, since the law and
the reason of tbs law controlling inter
s ate commerce and limiting the pow
srs of the several States and of the
United States is thoroughly expounded.
Wise legislation on this subject is more
difficult of attainment and elaboration
than perhaps any other, not even ex-
cepting that of finance. Mr.. Reagan
has mastered the subject and brought
TO its consideration clearness and in
cisiveness of intellect and degree of
patient research which few men could
