I made a promise whi e at our j Sommer Meeting at Greenville to write yon an article on some Agri cultural subject, while ont among the Halls of Tennessee, whiob I will now try to do, and will take for my sub ject, the practicability of substituting oats for cotton, as oar monied crop. The small farmers of Sooth Carolina all start with'a two horse farm, say one hundred acres of cleared land. We have to start in January," and QB Spring oats ar? rather an uncertain crop, we will begin with the usual half cotton and half corn plan, thirty acres of each, and ten in oats in Jan nary. At the last planting of the cotton we would sow it all in red oats. Now turn over the ten acres of oats stubble, first sowing about half bushel to- the acre, which with what bas been shattered out by reaping will insure a good stand, then break well twenty acres of the land that waa left uncultivated, and sow it, and better plow it io with a gang plow or some such harrow ae the Acme ; by ?his time the corn is far enough ad vanced SQ as not tobe injured by plowing, and we wonld sow oats in sill the corn land? This would give os eighty acres in oats, all re can add five acres ii rbeat, and the first year's work i done. Of course tb? cotton and cori must be eaved, which leaves no rest In January we would break and sob soil fifteen acres for oar corn anc cotton crop, and prepare co ra peel enough to manure it thoroughly Which yon will have plenty of time to do, as we have so small a plow and boe crop. Ten acres of this we would plant in corn and five in cotton; and in March or early in April, we would sows broadcast over the oats one hundred pounds of ?cid Phos phat? and fifty pounds Kaimt to the ?ere, and harrow in with Thomas Harrow. The small crop of corn and cotton can be put in complete order by the time the harvest comet in, and can be plowed aud hoed whenever desirable to do BO. In this way the best results the land can afford will.be obtained, and should at least double the average ail cotton and corn yield. Kow we will specu late on the reasonable reeults of the best crops and the expense : PROCEEDS OF COTTON AND COEN TLAN. 15 bales cotton._$535 00 375 bushels cotton seed. 56 25 300 bushels core. 300 00 200 bushels oats. 80 00 Fodder and shucks_.... 30 00 $991 25 Expense 4 Lands.8400 Feed for same... 160 MK.,:. -560 00 Leaving fur crop.$431 25 OBAIN AND COTTON. 2400 bushels oats, worth... .$960 00 200 bushels corn.. 200 00 60 bushels meal. 60 00 4 bales cotton. 175 00 125 bushels cotton seed. 18 75 Foddder and shucks. 20 00 $1433 75 2 bands and feed.280 00 Leaving for crop.$1153 00 431 25 Difference.$722 50 In making the above estimate and comparison we have confined our selves to what is thought to be a good average of the present cropping, al lowing four hands for the cotton farm, and but two for the grain farm, as it will require two horses in either case. We have lelt ont of tho calculation anything for horse-feed, farm imple* menta, etc., as there would be no ma terial in the cost of each, except in a reaper for the grain farm, and as two moles will only be required part of tba time, a good mare might be sub stituted for one of them, and a colt be raised from her every year, which would more than pay the difference in the expense in farm implements. Tbs neat winter we would prepare five acres planted in cotton for clover, and in March sow it dowa in that ar ticle for bay, not allowing an an> mal to. make a trai;k on it Some .think -oats will not succeed well in Oi?ta stubble"; my impression is that this t'epends very much on the pre? paration of (Ee land ; If properly done, it may. be sown for years on the same land. This kind of farming very materially leads to rearing more animals which increases the manare, and enriches the land, and greatly increases the income. Under this system ourimpoverit-hed coun ry would soon recuperate ber lost strength, and we can become H pros perons and happy people, which I very much fear will never be the case so long as we depend entirely on cot ton, and then the white man can do his own work. J. WASHINGTON WATTS. Before and After Marriage Not unfrequently both men and women expect mo:e from marriage than it is in human nature to yield. In the r mantic courting days the love-making is fresh, and sweet, and all engrossing, and the unreflecting innocents are deluded into the be lief that the bonds of matrimony are alone needed to secure ihera a lire ol love and joy at the high fever heat of the warm, youthful moments. But such an anticipation of heaven on this earth can not be. The beat must cool down and the intoxication of love sober into the tranq ility of friendship. It is a great matter to get safely through the cooling pro cess. The danger is that, when it begins, one or the other, ignorant that its cause lies in the nature of things, may throw the i lame on an innocent partner, and in his or her sweet heart sigh over the awful mis fortune of a dreary unioD. This wou'd not happen so frequently as it does, if as is not often the case,, the husband ?nd wife were to sober down ut the same rate. As a rule, the lady will hold on to tender love making much longer than the gentle man. It is the man that cools, and the wife that is broken-hearted. Among the causes of evil lying nearer the surface theie is our sys tem of courtship, which seems as if especially designed for mischief. To be kind and attentive to the object of one B affection is natural on the part uf both man and woman. But, ac cording to custom, the gentleman must do all the wooing, the labor ot love-making falls to bim, and as a rul-i, he doeB not spare himself. For weeks, for months, for years, he wor ships at the feet of his fair one with compliment, flattery and endless at tentions. He seems the slave of her smallest wish. lu all this there s much acting, often much conscious acting. Marriage is the dropping ot the curtain, with it ends the merry but, in its consequences, melancholy farce. And when he sees the effect of the play, he sincerely wishes it had never been. The attentions cannot continue. Nor is it deeirubie that they should. Yet in getting WfrfeSagj^^^omen ?re taught to?5P .Mw^^^**17 ? Tue arrange mern ni?%fnel to women. It is Jik? the practice of first spoiling children and then punishing them lor he inf spoiled. Tbe Best Tobacco Pipe. The white earthen pipe, porous and permeable to liquids, is put first, be cause it is a good absorber of nico tine ; the metallic pipe is put last, because it allows all the noxious pro ducts formed during the combustion of the tobacco to reach the mouth o? the smoker. The meerschaum, which immediately follows the clay pipe, deserves its place only on coudition that it is not too old. If it ;H sea soned it is as bad HS a wooden or porcelain pipe. The seasoning, ot which poets have sung, may be full of chaims lo the amateur; to the hygienist it bimply indicates that the pipe has had its day, and ia now sat urated with tobacco juice, and that it must be replaced hy another one, or be passed through the fire to puriiy it, as is dune in the ooffae houses ot Holland. Every old pipe, browned with long nee, leaves on the lips aud tongue an acid ai;d strong smelling liquid which irritateo the tissues and corrodes the mucous secretions. When it Eas reached this condition the finest meerschaum ia no better than the meanest scorch throat.-Popular Science Monthly.

When I showed Mrs. Arp my fingera that the peaches had made so clean, it reminded me of the venerable Judge Hillyer, the old patriarch, whom I used to venerate when I was a i oj, tor he was handsome and eloquent, and used language with such precision and accent. He was always looking inti the reason of things-the why and the wherefore, if he saw any thing strange he stopped and pe nised and enquired until he got to the bottom of it. The first time he ever we t to New York, Howell Cobb was bis companion, and Howell had a hard time io getting the judge along, tor be wanted to see everything and know everything. "Now Howet," said he, "just Btop right here and tell me what that is, and what it is for " "Howell do you suppose that all J&hese people . have got pressing business that hurries them along so fast ? ' " Howell have you any idea what that store of Stuart s c> st?" ( obb wan hurrying him along a back street when the judge stomped, and looking ovei a window Bereen into a room, F'.w i he heads and shoulders of two men, going up and down with a curious motion. His curiosity was excited and says he, " Howell what are those men doing." " Oh, I don't know Junius. Come along," said Howell. "We will never get to the hotel if we keep stopping to examine everything you see." " But Howell, I wan't you to look at those men. They are engaged in something very peculiar, and conscientiously, I would like to know what it ?6." Howell peeped through an opening in the Ecree.1 and said, "Why, Junius, they are treading up dough in a trough, they are making b?kerB bread. Don't you Bee ?" The judge was amazed. He looked earnestly at them as they tramped the dough with their bare legs and feet, and with great emphasis, said slowly and distinctly. " Howell, do you suppose their feet are clean?" " I bavn't a doubt of it, Hillyer," said Colb. " I know they are clean by this time " And he hurried him along. Cobb said afterwards that the judge was very fond of bakers bread, but he noiiced that he did'nt eat any more of it in New York. A Word About Babies. [Joe Howard in Philadelphia Pres.9.] Sptakmg of babies, how would you like to be a baby ? A few hours ago I croased Fultuu Ferry, and the boat was packed with people I didn't care about, the children I did. Possioly the children without the people would have been a pronounced nuisance ; but, as it was, I had my ten.per sorely tried and my patience too, as I watched the idiotic way in which tender, thonghtlu , kind heart ed women treated their babies-ba bies who in thirty years from now wiJl know more in a minute than I know in all my lifetime. Whenever I see a woman throw her baby in the air, making the little " cues" pale with fear, breathless and as red and whue as the American flag, I f.el like breaking a commandment, say ing " cu-s" words and braining her on the ^pot, vet they ali do i CT Did you ever think what a baby has to put up wi116 T^T^^BBKothersmoin^^T^j - it and Kqneezj it until its little fa< . ia !-.8 red as a berry and the npse 5 well, the nurse, especially if she frit and wheezy, sticks her fi?gerB i its mouth, rama her thumbs dow its throat and " tootsey-wootseyd" i I its face, till the poor child must wis ? it was where it came from.
