held by men at the South for years can
be changed in day, and, therefore, the
freedmen require for few years not on
ly laws to protect them, but the fostering
care of those who will give them good
counsel and OH whom they can rely.
The Freedman's Bureau, being separa-
ted from the military establishment of
the country, requires all the expense ofa
separate organization. One does not
necessarily know what the other is doing,
or what orders they are acting under.
1t seems to me this could be corrected by
regarding every officer on duty with the
troops in the Southern states as agents Of
the Frcedman's Bureau, and then have all
orders from the head Of the bureau sent
through the department commanders.
This would create responsibility that
would beget uniformity of action through
out the South, and would insure the order
and instructions fron. the head of the bu-
reau being carried out, and would relieve
from duty and pay large number of
the employees of the government.

PLEASANT HoMEs.-The homes OF
America will not become what they
should be, until true idea of life shall
become more widely implanted. The
chief end of life is to gather gold, and
that gold is counted lost which hangs a
picture on the wall, which purchases
flowers for the yard, which buys Il toy or
book for the eager hand of child.
Is this the whole of human life? A
child will go forth from stall, glad to
find free air and wider pasture. The
influence Of such home on him in after
life will be just none at all, or nothing
good. Thousands are rushing from
homes like these every year. They
crowd into cities, villages; they swarm
into all places where life is clothed with
Il higher significance; and the old shell
of home is deserted by every bird az soon
as it can hy. Ancestral humesteads and
patrimonial acres have no sacrcdness /;
and when the father and mother die, the
strangers presence obliterates associ-
ations that should be among the most
sacred of all things. We would have
you Ouliu up ioT SouIseiNen anu youi
children home that will never be light
" parted with-a home Which will be to
all whose lives have been associated with
it, the most interesting and precious
spot on earth. We would have that
home the abode of dignity, beauty, grace,
love, genial fellowship and happy asso-
Citations. Out from such a home we
would see ambition taking root, and re-
ceiving all generous culture. And then
VIC would see you and your wife happy.
Do not deprive yourself of such intlu-
ences as will come through an institu-
tion like this. No money can pay you
for such deprivation. No circumsian-
ces but those of utter poverty can justify
you in denying these influences to your
children.-Homc Educator.

GRATING THE PEACH on THE
PLUM.-A gentleman in Bryan County
has adopted the plan Of grating the
peach upon the rapid growing varieties
of fplums with most gratifying results. He
has m orchard of 200 trees thus grated,
from which he gathered fine crop of
superior fruit last summer.
He claims for this plan decided advan.
tage in the coast regiun, and bases his
opinion upon results. The difficulty
hitherto experienced by those who have
experimental with grafiing the peach
upon plum has arisen from the fact that
the peach is a more rapid grower than the
plum, and hence is liable 10 break off at
ihe point of junction. This seems 10
have been overcome by using the quick
growing varieties of plum. 1t is u COM
mon practice to graft the plum upon tie
pcach.-Soufhern Enterprise.

Blythe RoADsIDE.-As one walks along
the roads in the country, if he is an OBJ
servant man, he may learn many les.
sons of value. The dwellers along the
roadsdes may not suspect that their
characters may be read very plainly by
the condition of the road in front oftheir
homes, and the appearance of their sur
roundings. But it is so, and every man
has a certificate of character, exhibited
at his door, or upon his fence, for the
passersby 10 read. For instance, just
now we may see roadsides white with the
wild carrot or other pestiferous weeds.
This shows that the owner is careless aud
thriftless, because he is suffering in
furious weeds 10 multiply, and lay up
future trouble for him that he is selfish
and regardless of what is due to his
neighbor, because he is actually inju-
ring the latter's property by stocking it
with weeds, and laying up trouble for
him as we'll as for himself; also that he
is not law-abiding, or at least, that he
is though citizen, because he OBJ
serves neither the written law which in
nearly every State, obliges every owner
or occupier of property to destroy inju.
rious weeds upon his premises; nor the
unwritten law ofjustice and kindness to
his neighbor, which would impel him
to "do as he would be done by" So it
is with everything about the house, the
garden, the yards, barns, stables, and
fields. A mans character is set forth by
these as plainly as if it we're printed in
the largest type, and hung up for public
inspection upon his front fence. Ac-
tons speak louder than words, and by
our works we shall be judged.
The moral of this little honily is so
plain that nothing further need be said
as to its application. Let every man
Judge himself by it, and not his ncighbor.
Then some good may result. And this
is the very time when action in this re-
gard will be most efiectivc.-Rurai Netv
Yorker.
