George Washington's "Rules OF ClVllity''
ISouthern Christian Advocate.

Tn one Of The government buildings
in Washington city: among the his
torical relics, is an old manuscript copy
book, written by George Washington
when fourteen years of age. The paper
is faded and nearly ready to fall i2
pieces. "The Mount Vernon rats had
snawed the bottom of the Cases, and
destroyed several of the Rules,' which
originally were 10 in number. Some
of these Rules were quoted in The Ad-
vocute a few years ago, but the return
of the 22d February makes it appro'
pirate to repeat them. They refer to
many points of behavior in matters
more or less important. 1t has been
noticed that none Of the Rules refer to
the courtesies duet woman. Few books
have published all of these Rules; some
Lives of Washington simply refer to
them, quoting none of them. "Spark's 5
Life" copies fifty-seven, and it is from
him that we quote few:
"Nlock rot, nor jest at any thing of inn
portance; break not jssts that are sharp
biting, and if you deliver any thing
witty and pleasant abstain from laugh
ing thereat yourself.
Use no reproachful language against
any one, neither curse nor revile.
"Associate yourself with men of
good quality, if you esteem your own
reputation; for it is better to be alone
than in bad company.
"Be not immodest in urging your
friend to discover secret.
Break not a jest where none take
pleasure in mirth; laugh not aloud, nor
at all without occasion.
"Deride no mans misfortune, though
there seem to be cause.
"Think before you speak, pronounce
not improperly, nor bring out your
words 100 hastily, but orderly and dis
tinctly.
"Speak not in an unknown tongue
IN company, but in your own Ian
guage, and that as those of quality do,
and not as the vulgar; sublime matters
treat seriously.
"Be not apt to relate news, if you
have not the truth thereof. In dis
coursing OF things you have heard,

"Undertake not what you cannot
perform, but he careful to keep your
promise.

Ignorance the Mother Of Pref judice.

The last issue of the Richmond -Ari-
vocate contains an editorial that IS
peculiarly appropriate to the times in
South Carolina, both in Church and
State. No Christian patriot Can look
upon the present disturbed conditions
among a once united and harmonious
people without a feeling ofintense pain
and anxious foreboding with reference
to the future. The most important
lesson that the people of South Carolina
need now to learn is the lesson OF for
bearance and toleration. 1t should he
preached from every pulpit, it should
be taught in every school and
around every fireside, and it should be
impressed upon the people by every
journal, secular and religious.
But it is not our purpose now to
write homily on this subject, as badly
as it may be needed, but to give some
extracts from the editorial alluded TO.
We trust the lessons they teach will
be duly appreciated by every reader.

1--WE cannot put ourselves in the
positions of the politicians Of Virginia
anterior to the civil war. Think of old
Henry A. Wise saying that his hound
would be degraded if allowed to lap a
Whig's blood. The Wing was gen.
tlenlan usually superior in all fine quail
tiles to his competitors. So insaneand
inbruted were partisans; divided mere
~ on theory of government! The
rancor Of politics inflamed cultured
neighbors, provoking personal violence,
family feuds. The war disclosed the
noble characteristics of men mallgned
from the hustings as public enenIes S
end as personally discreditable. At this
distance Of time the harangues Of the
demagogues, nay, verify, Of statesmen,
vilifving the character Of their oppon-
ents, seem disgraceful to a tish-wonlan.
As to the party press, it soiled our
mothertongue IN its abhorrent de-
uunciations Of honorable citizens. And
editors and citizens believed the men
they put in piIlory were wretches. All
this engendered by antasonisns and
ignorance Of each other.
Just here is a moral scholium Let
a man do you mean turn, ana he
will never forgive yo". When per-
sou began to fill little squirt gun

osoph, Of such conduct is: Unless you
can make the public believe ne IS

that you are al assassin of good

The Jerusalem Artlchoke.

AS the name indicates, this vegetable
belongs. TO the sHnfower family having
small, yellow flowers on the matured
stalks that resemble a diminutive sun
flower. The artichoke rests its claim for
appreciation. in the vegetable garden
simply on its quality as a material for
pickles. 1t affords one of the incest and
at the same time the cheapest pickle that
can possiblybe made. A great many per-
sons prefer a welllmade artichoke pickle
TO most every other kind. There is no
crop more easily grown than the arti-
choke, and under good culture hundreds
of bushels can be grown on an acre The
culture is exactly like that of Irish
potatoes, but the artichoke, when
planted early in the spring, Contin-

the killing frost comes. They need not be
dug when the tops are first killed but
the tubers can lie in the ground all the
winter and be dug just as they are ne eded (;
but they must be gathered before the
tubers begin to sprout, v hich they are
likely to do in February. Near the cities
and large towns considerable profit ought
to be derived from quarter or half acre
in artichokes. This vegetable is not ap-
preciated as it should be, though If il
Were, thousand barrels of pickle would
be put up in the south where one is now

as they do any other article of food AS

any. for il is very productive. Medium
sized tuDers cut in half and planted IS
inches in the row, with rows three to
four feet apart, is the simple method of
planting, that only needs good soil and
enough culture to keep the crop clean, to
produce anywhere from $50 to 100 bushels
per acre. Over 1000 bushels have been
grown on an acre, but $50 bushels should
be a very satisfactory crop. The seeds

a Chapter o. Plums.

Plums, though a delicious fruit, are not
so generally raised as many others. The
Practical Farmer finds reason for this
as follows: In nearly all amateurs col
lections plum trees are Improbable. and
have been so for many years. The cause
of this has been the depreciation OF the
curculiU and the disease known as the
plum knots. There is no need TO sus tain
a loss of crop from these causes, es most
all readers Of agricultural and horticui-
tural papers know. remedies. by no means
hard 10 apply, being obtaina Die at but
little cost. The fact is that much of the
literature which the amateur gardener
gets poSsessed~of does not treat of such
matters. Hence, we find farmers and
commercial men much better posted on
such matters, and to them the production
of their plum crop is no great
task Although there are many enemies
of the plum, the only farmida ble ones are
the curculio insect and the black knot.
The curculio is a winged insect which
visits the trees just as the blossoms are
falling. The female lays from 50 to 100
eggs: she works slowly, depositing an
egg in each plum in puncture she makes
in it. But lew are laid day, so that.
it is some two weeks or more before her
work is done. The egg Matching, the

tree; Now, this insect, when alarmed,
has a habitof feigning death, just as a
potato Dug doess and this allows of an
easy way. of destroying it. 1t con-
sists simply of jarring the tree,
when the insect falls to the ground
and is caught on canvas spread there for
the purpose, and destroyed. This is the
method employed by the large growers of

safe and eifectual. This jarring is COM

more insects come down. Some fruit will
be stang In spite of all care, and this
when it falls, which 1t will do before it

chance to perfect themselves. The same
end is obtained by spraying the trees
with some insecticide. The most APP

mixture formed by putting one

300 gallons of water, stirring it well

Raline and Sailing Hay.

When hay sells at So cents per hundred
weight, and sometimes at 30 cents and
81, one may rest assured that it is the
best in the market, cured, baled and
grown properly, says a northern con-
temporary. In making ARRANGEMENTS for
starting good hay crop for the coming
season the work should be planned ahead
so that the highest market rates will be
obtained. II does not pay TO grow an in
ferior nay crop, unless it Is to improve
the land, and even then some seed beside
grass seed should be sown too. With the
exception OF clover fair stand of grass
can be obtained on almost any soil ii il is
thoroughly cultivated and mapured. II is
useless to suppose that a fine hay crop can
be grown on land that has been completely
exhausted with successive of grains unless
manure or fertilizers of some kind are
literally applied. Yet some farmers seem
To have an idea that this can be done.

Remedy for Borers.

The various tree borers are larvae OF
well known beetles. Those most common
and which do the most damage are known
as the fat-headed wood borers. The
beetles which produce these borers lay
their eggs on the bark about the roots of
apple and other trees during the summer,
most generally in June. The eggs hatch
and the young grub promptly begins to
work its way into the wood at the root of
the tree. AS preventive remedy it is
advised TO wash the trunks of trees with
strong soap suds. This should be done
most carefully at the surface of the
ground or among clods or other open rub-
bish which may serve to harbor the
beetles. Whitewashing with lime will
also serve the same purpose. When the
borers are at work they must be promptly
dug out with q sharp knife. Woodpeckers
of various kinds feed on these grubs, and
should be encouraged about the orchard.
