There is a dreadful ambition abroad for
being "genteel." We keep up appearances
too often at the expense of honesty, and
though we may not be rich, yet we must
seem to be respectable" though only in the
meanest sense-in mere vulgar show. We
have not the courage to go patiently onward
in the condition of life in which it has pleased
God to call us; but must needs live in some
fashionable state, to which we ridiculously
please to call ourselves, and all to crafty the
vanity Of that unsubstantial, genteel world of
which we form part. There is constant
struggle and pressure for front seats in the
social amphitheatre in the midst of which
all noble, self denying resolve is trodden
down, and many fine natures are inevitably
crushed to death. What waste, what misery,
what bankruptcy come from all this ambition
to dazzle Others with the glare of apparent
worldly success we need not describe. The
mschievous results show themselves in a
thousand ways,-in the rank frauds com.
mitted by men who dare to be dishonest, but
do not dare to seem poor and in the desper-
ate dashes at fortune in which the pity is not
so much for those who fail rs for the hun
dreds Of innocent families who are SO often
involved in the ruin.-IH6 Home JOurHdL

Life in a Norman Castle,

1T was at best hard and comfortless. In
summer it was enlivened by hunting and
hawking, by tournaments and pageantry.-
The gardens which usually surrounded a
castle formed resource for the female por-
ton of inhabitants, who are often represent
ed in the illuminations ofthe time as occupied
in tending the flowers or making garlands.
But in winter there were few comforts to
lessen the suffering, and few resources to vary
the monotony of life The passages in the
romances which hail the returning of spring
are full of thankfulness and delight Chess,
dice, and cards, as well as many frolcsome
games, served, with the aid Of the Ministries,
to afford amusement. The women had their
occupations of spinning, sewing, and EN-.
broidery. Life was lacking in physical com.
forts, and still more in refinement. The din
ing.hall became at night the sleeping place of
a promiscuous crowd of retainers. There
was very imperfect separation of the sexes
at any time Men and women ate with their
fingers, and threw the refuse of their meal on
the table, or amidst the straw on the floor, to
be devoured by the cats and dogs which
swarmed acknowledgement Tuckerman.

The editor of the Savannah Neacs published
n card, as follows: Kind reader, did you ever
know what it was to have man tell you
that if you dared TO do n thing he would
shoot you on sightp If you have never had
your life threatened and ieopardized in that
manner, you really don't know how much
fun you have missed. Only few evenings
ago, just about the time night was drawing
her sable mantle DER the departing day, we
were met on Congress street by young
man, who threatened to shoot us If we pub
lished his name again and really,
now, laying all Jokes aside, the want
Mayors Court are the only things which
keep his little artillery so humble and quiet,
for if he ever waltzes before Captain Jack
again, he is our meat, and don't you forget
to remember it. Now, that was bad enough,
though we had just about recovered from the
shock when we were informed by another
young man that we "would be shot down, if
we dared to publish his name" Well, some
how or other, we got little careless and
published it; but strange to say, we are still
alive and kicking. Now, here, that's entirely
wrong, We thought you were man of
your word, and really didn't think that you
would lie about such small thing as shoot
ing us, and what is more, it is certainly very
discourteous in you to keep, us in such mel
ancholy suspense. If you didn't mean bus
mess, why didn't you keep your tongue in
your mouth and give your teeth holiday
Now, gentlemen of arms, we are getting very
tired of having our friends go around every
week or two pricing mourning goods and
looking at the most fashionable and stylish
goods in the dirk line. We don't mind your
threats, for we are never happy unless we
are in trouble, and while we havn't the least
desire to make mutilated corpse, we wish
you to distinctly understand that we are still
on deck and don't feel the least uneasy, for
men of your calibre would have to muster
extra courage to even shoot with brick and
cut for home.

Silent Men.

Washington never made speech. In the
zenith of his fame he attempted it, failed and
gave it up confused and abashed. In franz
ing the constitution of the United States, the
labor was entirely performed in the COM
mittee ofthe whole, of which Washington
was the chairman; he made two speeches
during the convention, which however, ac-
knowledged the master spirit, and historians
affirm that, had it not been for his great popu-
larity, and the thrifty words of his first
speech, pronouncing it the best that could be
united upon, the constitution would have
been rejected by the people. Thomas JefFer-
son never made n speech. He couldn't do it,
Napoleon, whose executive ability is almost
without parallel said that his greatest diff.
Guilty was in finding men ofdeeds rather than
words. When asked how he maintained his
influence over superiors in age and expert
ence when commander-in- chief of an army in
Italy, he said by reserve. The greatness of
man is not measured by the length of his
speeches and their number.

which brings forth fewer than eight
pigs at a birth is not worth much.
Those which have very low bellies,
reaching almost to the ground, usually
produce but few pigs IN comparison
with the number which might be ex-
pected from them. AS soon as the
SOW has farrowed, water containing
ground barley is given her; she must
be well fed while sucking, that she
may give plenty of milk. She may be
fed upon sour milk and ground barley,
bran, aud oil-cakes well soaked in wa
ter, as all extraordinary diet is likely
to bring on diarrhea, either in the
mother or the young ones, which must
he avoided. Good dry litter must be
given to her, and often changed; the
quantity, however, must not be very
great, for fear of the young ones hiding
themselves in it.
Young pigs are often castrated at the
age of two and half or three weeks,
but they then grow up weaker, smaller
and higher on the legs than those upon
which the operation is not performed
till they are six months old 1t is,
however, less dangerous when per-
formed early; if it be deferred, the
males and females must be separated
both in the sty and on the pasture, till
they are subjected to it. When pigs
are to be castrated, they should for
twenty.four hours previously be sup
piled with food in moderate quantity,
and such as will not swell in the stom.
ach. Great care must be taken in
choosing the animals to be retained fol
breeding. The pigs, after castration,
must be left quiet and fed on clear
wash made of linseed cake and soul
milk till they get well.
Sour milk is undoubtedly the best
and most wholesome nourishment fol
young pigs. When there is no marke
for cheese the most profitable mode o
disposing of the skinned milk is Otter
to give it to these animals. A pi.
eighteen weeks old, fed on a suficien
quantity Of sour milk, will be larger
than one year old fed in difern
manner.
After they have attained the ag
of nine weeks the young pigs must b
accustomed to the same food as tn
old ones, without, however, being lief
in the same sty with them. If they
have not been castrated while sucking
the sexes must be separated until tina
operation is performed. The weakes
of the young pigs must, if possible, b
: kept apart, for the others bite ant
, keep them from their food, and thu
their growth is stOpped.-A. D. THAE

The South.

The South of to-day is more prom.
ising field for investment than any part
Of this great country. In cotton-grow-
ing, sugar-planting, textile industry, in
railroad construction, and many other
directions, unlimited capital might find
secure investment, free FROM the uncer-
tainties of speculation. The intell-
gence of the South is giving thought to
the material interests of that section.
Already the attention of capitalists is
attracted, and the chances are that the
next ten years will mark period in
the history of the new South far excel
ling in real greatness and power the
brightest days of the old regime.
The recources of the Southern
country were, until recently, compare
lively unknown, nor are they but par
TALLY told. The cotton belt has been
remote from market, with few and in
different means for transportation; the
fields and mills so far apart that the
raw material and the process of manu-
facture were strangers to each other.
But the South is already in transi-
ton state, and under more favorable
industrial conditions the time will not
be distant when the cotton plant and
the spindle will flourish side by side, in
a degree of prosperity heretofore un'
known in America. - Industrial News.
