DON'T CROWD. N- sr .s saowN. ýT Don't crowd; this world is broad enough For you as well as me; The doors of art are opened wide The realm of thought is free; Of all earth's places, you are right To choose the best you can, Provided that you do not try To crowd some other man. What matter though you scarce can count Your piles of golden ore; While he can hardly strive to keep * Gaunt famine from his door? Of'* illing hands and honest heart Alone should man be proud, Then give him all the room he needs, JO And never try to crowd. 5 D)on't crowd, prowd Miss; your dainty silk _ Will glisten none the less Becnuse it comes in contact with A beggar's tattered dress; This lovely world was never made For you and I alone; A pauper has a right to tread The pathway to a throne. * Don't crowd the good from out your heart By fostering all that's had; But give to every virtue room- 'r The best that may be lhul; Be each day's record such a one That you may well be proud: Give each his right-give each his room, S And never try to crowd. e THE USE OF A LONG NOSE. The following amusing if improb y able story is told of Mozart at the r time when he was a pupil of Haydn; Haydn had challenged Mozart to ' compose a pie'ce of music which he n could not play at sight. Mozart accepted the banter, and a cham it pagne supper was to be the forfeit. e Everything being arranged between e the two composers, Mozart tool; his pen and a sheet of paper, and in five minutes dashed off a piece of music, and much to the suprise of hlaydn, Landed it to him saying, « "There is a piece of music which C you can not play, and I can; you are to givp the first trial." Haydn smiled contemptuously at the vision v ary presuintion of his pupil, and - placing the notes before him, struck t the keys of the instrument. Sur priied at its simplicity, he dashed away till he reached the middle of r the piece, when, stopping all at once, he exclaimed, "How's this, Mozart? How's this? Here my hands are stretched out to both ends i of the piano, yet there is a middle I key to be touched. Nobody can e F play such music,-not even the t composer himselL" Mozart smiled e t at the half-excited indignation and E perplexity of the great master, and z taking the seat he had quitted, t struck the instrument with such an v air of self-assurance that Haydn d began to think himself duped. Run ning along the simple passages, he t came to that part which his teacher a had pronounced impossible to be d played. Mozart, it must be remark- ti ed, was favored, or at least endow- 'Q ed, with an extremely long nose. ti Reaching the difficult part, he p stretched both hands to the ex- h treme long ends of the piano, and, leaning forward, bobbed liis nose tl against the middle key which no- p1 body could play. Haydn burst into L an immoderate fit of laughter, and m after acknowledging he was beaten, an he declared that nature had endow- tk ed Mozartwith acapacity for mus- bI ic which he had never discovered, et New Orleans merchants and editors as are making wild and injurious esti mates of the probable yield of the preentsugr aop.The Nvcayune behoes hatthecrop is so geod ra that 225,000 hogeheads of sugar bc will be made this fall; and we have as received the annual fngar circular q of Messrs. E. A. Leonvai & Co., of 110 Gravier street, New Orleans, inh which we find that they estimate m the present year's prodnot at 175,- lei 000 to 220,000 hogaheads. th As we have constantly been tray- tn eling among sugar planters through- da out the entire year, and aiding over mei the cane fields in various parishes, we we think that to calculate the yield sk at 160,000 hogsheade of sugar would in be a'rneaonable estimate; but from to all we have seen and learned from for reliable sources, we fear that it wifl en fall short of that last season, which was about 146,000 hogaheads, The for crop is muclj worse than that of thi last year, anit the almost general g failure of stubble can, will make it n necessary to reserve for seed a muc ti larger amount of cane than usual, ha' which wil fully countebaan the orn increased acreage on which our New of Orleans friends are making calcula- ta tioms.-S-ug.r Plwstr. HONOR WASHED IN BLOOD. We wish thee could be a S3ew departure" in t5 tone of *oeity which demands that wounded honor ýh should be washed in human blood. The tongue of slander is glib and active. An evil word spoken in haste is indiscreetly conveyed, and its repetition often exaggerated. Bad blood is generated and human blood flows, desolating the house at hold, leaving widows, and orphans the victims of passion, and wound ed honor washed in blood smells no sweeter for the lurid ablution. These thoughts come upon read ing the sad tragedy enacted last Thursday in New Orleans. Mr. i Rainey having been in business with Mr. Boyd was dissatisfied with his management, and spoke of Boyd as a thief. Boyd called on him and asked him to retract. He refused. Boyd shot and killed him instantly without any warning or threat. Roth parties moved in respectable circles. Boyd was a cotton pressman. Rainey was the book-keeper of a national bank. Has Boyd proven, by being a mur derer-for in law he is nothing else-that he is not a thief? if he *. had never stolen before, has he not stolen a precious life from ,orphan children which he cannot restore? b- Why was this killing? Because ae society had heard the whisperings n; of this foul slander ; and unless to Boyd killed the man who called ie him a thief his friends and ac rt quaintances would cut him as a n- coward and a paltroon. t" How little there is of true cour :n age in all this. How blamable the s whole afair and yet the surface of present society is rotten with this polluted principle. Men should ° learn that time wears out slander, g, and that rectitude of conduct gives h the lie to cowardice. There is true 'fl bravery in leaving the slanderer to , perish in his own corruption. 1- We need a "new departure" to d correct this evil in society, for the k sake of widows and orphans. Planlers Banner, Sept. 13. d [From the Household. It Ttsrh year Daughters Caskery. y A great deal is written about the Is iimportance of training our daugh le ters to be experienced cooks, what n ever their position in life is likely to e be. And that usually means, we d should teach them to prepare a d great many curious disheu in a most l marvelous way, requiring unlimited I, time and patience, not to mention n very generous supplies of ingre a dients. - Now, it may be very valuable at a e times to know all about these curi- c r ous "made dishes," but for every a day use it would be well for us to - tone down our own childrun's tastes. h. - We should strive to give them a taste for simple dishes prepared to Sperfection, rather than for elaborate, -highly seasoned ones. i ,Skill in simple cookery is one of 0 4the fiest and mas useful aceom plishmente a young lady can have. Let her graduate in the art of bread- a making, taking in the whole depart- oi ment. Nothing conduces more to the health of a household than good bread, and every family likes a vari ety in this article. She has here a l wide range for her ingenuity.. Simple mashed potatoes, nicely seasoned with cream, salt and pep-li per, are much better and more wholeeomne than raw potatoes pared round and round, like shavings, and boiled in lad until they are brown and crispL They may not look quite so faeaiful, but I think anyw hungry man would preler the& mashed potatoes.

A "Nw Dpature" at th. While Demoeratio politician., o North and South, are quarreling over a " new departure," which in 4 volves the relinquishment of cher m ished political prejudices, a "new id departure" has been inaugurated at d. Atlanta, la., which may work a m social revolution at the South, and s- eventually place the black man on a s personal as weli as political equality I_ with his persecutors. The occasion la was the commencement of Atlanta n. University for colored students, on 1_ the last of June, an account of 4 which is given by a correspondent r of the Congregationalist. The in * stitution has been in operation but h about two years. At the request of the college, Governor Bullock n had appointed a committee of ten e of the leading men of Atlanta, of n whom a majority were Democrats, 1 r to attend the examinations and n make a full report of the character , a and work of the school. Ex-Gov- 1 e ernor Brown, one of the ablest pol iticians at the South, was chairman of the committee. These gentle men, with many others, were pre e sent throughout the three days of t the closing exercise. They came, n as they all said, with no belief that the negroes could become proficient e in the study of Greek and Latin, or in the higher mathematics. On the s contrary, they expected to have their ideas of the intellectual inferiority of the black race confirmed. They a brought with them experienced teachers, who strove to confuse the pupils by cross-questions. "And yet," says the correspondent, (Rev. e William B. Brown, D. D., of New ark, N. J.,) "after sixteen hours of as fairly conducted and thoroughly searching examinations as I have ever known, including the common i s branches, and also Latin, Greek, , e algebra and geometry, these gentle- I men, every one of them, magnani mously surrendered their cherished e prejudices and theories, and pub licly confessed themselves converts to the doctrine that the black race and the white, as to their power of acquiring knowledge, even in the higher branches of learning, stand 1 on an essential equality." I The proficiency of the colored students was so manifest and ex citedso much attention that large i numbers of ,the leading citizens of e Atlanta attended the exercises on f the last day. At the elaas of these' Governor Brown made a statement in behalf of the committee, in which c he said that their prejudices and v theories had made the negro race a inferior to the white, but these ex- 1 aninations had compelled them to change their theories and conquer a their prejudices. The Board of vial- e tors, also, in their report, gave oami- h lar testimony, as follows: "At every step of the examina- tl tion we were impressed with the ii fallacy of the popular idea (which, 4 in common with thousands of others, a majority of the undersign ed have heretofore entertained,) p that the members of the African u race are not capable of a high grade 01 of intellectual culture. The rigid W cetat to which the classes in Algebra and Geometry, and in Latin and c& Greek were subjected, unequivocal- si ly demonstrated that under judici- W one training, and with persevering ~ study, there are many members of the African race who can attain a g high grade of intellectual culture." on Here is a "new departure" for tli the white raceeof the South more remarkable than the "new depar tare" set in motion by the great Ohio politician, and one which is likely to prove vastly more bene £uial toth. colored people, for if the Somihern white. become eon vineed that the blacks are inelleo- so tealy their equals, a great hainge TI for the beter mass eoour in their ta treatment of thesa.--& ha al --Plaiche, in his "ilecolleetomon" to repeat. the following, as related by pa ld&Maltby, the y brother of the Bishop, was a veryla ahent mas Oneday at Paris, in nc the Lonvas we were at the s sminatm in eonveruataom.

Inoompatibility. , An exchange forcibly and in the ig main truthfully, says: n A woman, no doubt, foals the r- ennui of domestic life more keenly w than a man. He is occupied with at his business, and the home, at the a end of the day, even when he has id to experience a moderate amount a of nsgging, is felt to b3 tn agree ýY able change. But to the wife the ýn utter sameness of existence, after ba the few bright months of domestic n bliss have passed, must be very >f trying ýt Perhaps her solitude inspires her '- with a vague feeling of jealousy, it and she makes herself wretched 1 it over imaginary wrongs. Why, for k example, is he frequently late at n business-can it be business which ] ýf keeps a man in town"so long past 1 4 the dinner-hour? Why does he I d occasionally dress himself with un r usual care before leaving home in i - the morning, and what possible ex- 1 - cuse can he have for doing so? Is n it possible that he can dare to 1 imagine, he a married man, that t any woman would care to look at j him? * * * *1 We never yet heard a really good t and sensible wojnan complain of r the restraints of married life, but r r we have heard much repining from 1 e ladies who had not the smallest r idea of performing their own share t of duty. Their idea of submission a 1 is that it should all be on the side t of the husband, and that the chief e I duty of the wife is to rule in queen- a ly state at home. Fortunately most a women are wise enough to abstain t in time from playing the dangerous I game of queen of the castle. They t find it will not do, or that beyond a e certain line their rule is quietly r ignored or laughed at. The vis a inerti r of a wearied man of business j - has often done more to disarm a a - nagging wife than volumes of argu 1 meat and expostulation. The stolid I husband absorbed in his evening a - paper allows the querulous com s plaints of the wife to pass unheeded, and only hears them in disjointed 1 f fragments. He gains a quiet vic tory, and a few such contests con vince the lady that she is playing a I losing game, and might prudently l keep her little troubles to herself. k 1 A war of words with a woman is a an unwise and dangerous game to play, and when it is persisted in a the results are always most lament- o able. After a straggle continued a for months, or perhaps years, a r. separation takes place on the h ground of incompatibility of temper, a and the foolish pair part only to ti court fresh misery. In the cases which have come under our notice u a little mutual forbearance might C have made domestic life smooth e and pleasant, but each party pos Ssessedalarge share of false pride b and would not yield a jot. Of _a course there are nagging women of who cannot be silenced, no matter of how willing husbands may be to ti meet their wishes half-way, and there are men naturally brutal and p ill-tempered who cannot be "man- gi aged," and upon whom the tact and 01 foresight of a prudent woman is to wholly wasted. gi In such cames asthese there is no tI possibility of domestic peace; sub- ci mission does not bring happiness, an everythng goes wrong, and the whole family are continusily in hot water. These, however, are rare eases, and we do not pretend to deal with them; we are merely con sidering the ordinary husband and wife of the period, whose fault. are on the surface, and who in the main cm ae kindly sad considerate to each fu other. Eccentricities of temper is generally wear off in course of time, in or become lee, disagreeable, andi the pair who have patience toren dure each other generally and by ~ liking or loving in earnest. ma AN INGENIOUd PRAYER,.i cP The celebrated Doiia frar lil Roeeo,rnsm ad to have once bee to ~e e in~ the market-place .t th ses day," maid he, "I will seeif you truly repent your sins."

The preacher writes in 1e the privacy of his study, and can ý5 concoct platitudes or pad out at plagiarism that would be the rein e of the editor and reporter. The 1e lawyer consults his client and or ar ganizes his campaign in private, ic bringing into court only as much 7 as makes for his cause and against the cause of his adversary. The 'r doctor piles his portions and P, launches in his lancet in secret. If d the patient recover, it may be the ºr medecine or it may be in spite of it it ; if he die, it may be pills or h Providence-the physician is scath it less. None of these come to light e that their deeds may be reproved. - Moreover, the work of the press n is continuous, as well as constantly public. There is no peace in our a war. There is no rest for the a weary. Space is no more annihila t ted by telegraph than time by t journalism. The evening and the s morning are not merely the first l day, but all the seven Night is an f nibilated as to all its quantities of t repose. Every minute of every a 1 hour of twenty-four is occupied by t some workers doing some work , that shows itself in the newspaper 1 1 of the day and afternoon. Repeti- i B tion is as impossible as rest. Facts e , are ever new. Comments mast be - as fresh as facts, and the edition is ta remorseless giant that eats up all 1 the seconds. The making of a news- 2 s paper is perpetual motion in a thousand fields. In such a work, demanding ceaseless effort, per w mitting no pause, exacting eternal s and ever-varying exercises, it is - a impossible for wheat to be unmixed of chaac, for accuracy not to be im 1 paired by mistake, for injustice not l occasionally to be done. l - Newspaper Reporter. I A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. --C About fourteen months ago the s h Steamer Right Way exploded her t boilers two miles above Thibodaux, killing some fifteen persons, and 1 h wounding as many more. - > It will be remembered that i several persons, who were standing . on the levee as the fatal steamer 1 I was leaving our wharf, notised and remarked that there was a singular hissing round abotd her morhinery or seam apparatu& In a half hour af terwards she exploded. Captain Ben Lane, who, seated upon a balcony of a hotel at Point Clear Mississippi, witnessed the explosion of the Steamer Ocean Wave, on the 2ith of August last, by which a great number of lives were lost, in writing a description of the same says : "The boat gave out a queer hissing sound some time before the explosion." Can any of our Engineers ex plain this? Is there any warning given by a boiler previous to an explosion? We would be pleased to have some experienced En gineers give us their opinions on this point. Certainly the coin cidence in thee, two cases is re markable, to say the least of it. ___ [&Echange. WIIY CATTLE NEED SALT.
