Profanity. - - S The habit of using profane language is alara ingly prevalent in many communities, and that too. by men of sound judgment and common sense. It is strange why man, civilized, en j l ign ten ea -man, win pollute nis lips wiin vue language, when he knows it is contrary to reasta and politeness, and a violation of (rod's holy law. For most of the violations of the moral law, man often tries to justify himself by offering some excuse, but for the use of profane language there' cannot be the shadow of an excuse rendered. Yet, it is no strange thing, either in high or low circles, to hear the name of the Supreme Being appealed to, on the most trifling occasions. Parents set the example children follow ll. and thus the wicked practice of nrofanrcing . LoitlV t(jJI'3i1usrT.i5o . uir with sound of oaths and blasphemies, is kept up from oue generation to another." Is it a disposition to appear brave, that causes such language to be used ? Instead of showing bravery, it betrays the want of true moral courage. All will admit that profane language is impo lite, and n;ost of those who'are guilty of this so cial and moral outrage, refrain from it on certain oeeastous. In the society of ladies, and in the presence of some venerable divine, they will, for the time, withhold such language, but as soon as this restraint is removed, decency and morality would blush to hear the vicious oaths that are uttered. How unreasonable and unthoughtful! Do you imagine, Oman, immortal! that when ou have no human being near to restrain you. that you are cot in the presence of your maker? Reflect ! He hears those horrid oaths, and His name profaned, and "He will not hold hini guilt less who taketh His name in vain." "It chill my blood to hear the blest Supreme - Budely appealed to on each trifling theme. Maintain your rank ! vulgarity despise ; To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise. You would not swear upon the bed of death; Reflect ! your Maker now could stop youT breath." Let those who are not guilty of this crime this outrage upon morality labor earnestly to impress upon those slaves of ' profanity, the im minent danger of such a vice, and the propriety of a" speedy and thorough reformation.

KtiEKT.L, Deputy IarshaL April 1-3, 1868 2w More CareM Culture of Cotton. There is nothing that does not improve bv carer ful culture. This is proved by all our fruits and flowers. , We were once riding with a friend through his magnificent estate, and he showed us some Indian corn with grains three times the size of the ordinary grains. We asked him bow he obtained such a product, lie answered, 4,by careful selection and cultivation. I selected the Very largest grains out of a crop, , and planting them by themselves in my very richest land, 1 ca.tirate them with the very greatest care,' , . It is a known fact that the jnost charming roses are descended from, the common wild stock, which has ueither btauty nor sweetness of sriell ' but having been properly nurturd for ages, , cli innAiMihiui li 2 h.mviivf.--l 4 ,)1 ten:tk bt i iBas icconwtWqutni uf flowers. . Xot .W he unprovenleut yet fctopptd; for the roses of 1908 wili be far more beautiful, and far sweeter than the greatest boasts of our present florists. So it is with the luscious .peach,-- which was once a rough, wrinkled and foul-tasted bitter almond, and the golden pippin, now, without a peer in the productions of our orchards, was once ihe commou crab-apple, that t wLsted the Jnouth awry like a green persimmon. . i It is straugc that up to the late war the prin ciple of cultivation, in the scientific seme in which we have used it above, was not applied to cotton but such was the lact. The growing of cotton was properly named a i&jntatg interest; for all that was attended to was the mere- planting it in rich ground. The principles of careful selection and of the diligeut cultivation of the plant, were ignored beyond the most primitive processes. All that was required was rich gnatnd, and when that became poor, or gullied, it was "turned out." The consequeuce was that at the - beginning of the kte war, the land in many districts, that twenty years before had been deemed inexhaus tible, had deteriorated to such an extent that the planters were moving further West in order to iiud lands rich enough to plant in. ct iu spite of this wasteful and improvident mode of growing cotton, instead of cultivating, such was the special adaptation of our climate aud soil to the cotton plant, that the product of our third rate soils solar surpassed that-of the very best of foreign lands, that no other cotton but that of America was used fur anything but the coarsest fabrics, and no other, produced a price that justified its being made the production of a country. Ihe cotton of India did not pay, even though the labor of that country cost but twelve dollars a year for the best hauds. It was so worthless that no manufacturer would buy it i&s staple was short, brittle and discolored; it was almost impossible to clean it, aud after it .was cleaned, to spin it. The same was the fact with regard to the cotton of most foreign countries. But the war came, and the supply of England was cut off. Her operatives began to starve aud ter manufacturers saw ruin staring them iu the ace. lhat necessity, which has been ever the mother of invention, caused them to try to invent better machinery ibr the short staple. All would nut do, however, lor nothing could bo made of it. Thft price of cotton went up, up, up, until it justified the employment of scitntijic ctdtivatlwi in India in place' of merely rude glinting. -The consequence has been that the improved methods of growing cotton have produced an article that is fully as good as the best Georgia uptamh and olteu even better, aud our people will be knocked out of the market if they do not pay more atten tion to cultivating cotton with a view to improve its quality to such au extent as to beat the rest of the world. . 31ortover the abolition of the duty on foreign cotton will remove whatever protection our plant ers have thus far possessed, aud unless their cot ton is superior to that of the rest of the world, they can never afl. rd to raise .t. We believe that the planter is gone forever Irom the bouth; but the larmer will alwajsffour ish iu our section. Yet we would not advise our larmers to abandon the cultivatiou of cotton en tirely. As we saili in a foinier, article, there is no reason why it should not be made an auxiliary, money crop on every farm, putting at h:ast a lew acres of it m cultivation. If our farmers will cultivate it with more care than they formerly did, it will pay far better thau ever. lf such is the soil aud climate of the South, that with rude planting it was able to surpass the whole worhl, with proper attention to the scientific culture of this staple to the extent which it has attained elsewhere, we should still have the same advan tage that wc had ten years ago, and again drive all other cotton but that of America out of the Liverpool market.

' "'" '; ' ' " Questions for a Wife. Do you recollect what your feelings were im mediately after you had spoken the first unkind word to your husband ? Did you not -feel ashamed and grieved, and yet tooriroud to admit it ? That was, is and ever will be vour evil jrenius It is the temper which labors inces santly to destroy your peace,, which cheats you with an evil delusion that your husband deserved your anger, when he really most .required your love. It is the cancer which feeds on those un .speaking emotions you felt on the first pressure of his hand and lip. Never forget the tnannei in which the duties of that calling can alone be fulfilled. If your "husband is hasty, your example of patience will cbido as well as teach him. Yoar violence may alienate his heart, and your neglect impel him to desperation. .Your sooth ing will redeem him your softness subdues him ; and the good natured twinkle of those eyes, uow filling beautifullj with priceless teara, will make him all your own. - i Whitewash. Take a clean, water-tight barrel, or other suit able cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime. .Slake it by pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in sullicieut quantity to cover it five inches deep, aud stir it briskly until thoroughly slaked. hen the slaking has been effected, dissolve it in water, and add two ouuees of sulphate of zinc and one of commou salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which gives an unseemly tippearance to the work. It desirable, a beautiful cream color may be added to the above wash by adding three pounds of yel low ochre, or a good pearl or lead color," by the additiou of lamp, vine or ivory black. For fawn color, add lour pounds ot umber, lurk ish or American -the latter is the cheapest one pound Indian red and oue pound common - lamp black. For common stone color, add four pounds umber aud two pounds lamp black. This wash may be applied with acouin.on whitewash brush, and will be tound much superior, both in appearance and durability, to common whitewash. i tm Chief Justice Chase and the Reivbli- CAXS. The New York Independent formally reads Judge Chase out of the radical party. It J8.-. . ... . V e now have reason to believe that Mr chase would not accept the republican nomination for the Presidency, even if it were tendered. We have equal reason to believe, also, that he would accept the democratic nomination, if it could bu tendered on a platform not inconsistent With his well-known views of negro suffrage." Whereupon the New York l'ost (republican) remarks : There must be sodiethim' seriously wrong or rotten in the republican party, if it is true, as the Independent so poiuteuly asserts, that a states man of as high principles and great abilities as Mr Chase is, stands icady to abandon it, and re fuses even to be its standard-bearer. The Inde pendent flings Mr Chat away with quite a royal air: but it will occur to many, not Mr Chase's special friends, that a party has need to be rich ui statesmen which can drum out a man like the Chief J ustice." . . , A Fatal Sfuee among Officers. The Lawrence (Kansas) Republican publishes the following communication: , uIn the winter of 1SC4 I was stationed at Vicksburg, Mississippi. While there the officers were idle, and drank, as usual, a great deal ol bad liquor. One night, when on one of our pro tracted sprees, in a hall on Washington street, Captain Jetsup and Capt. Shcles thought they would play ''William Tell." Sholcs measured off ten paces, planting himself against the wall, tclliutr Jessup to shoot at a tin cup which he placed upon his head. Jesup was known as th best pistol shot ia the regiment, but remonstrated a little aguiiiit running such a great risk of his life, but was prevailed upon by Wholes to try his skill. He fired, and just as ho pulled the trigger bholes raised up a Jit tie and the ball penetrated his forehead, killing him instantly. I knew Jcsso for more than a year afterward. He was almost a raving maniac, to think he had killed his bett friend, all for nothing else than having too much whisky aboard." A few nights since, a party of young gentle men, in St. Joseph, serenaded a young lady. At the close of their musical . performance, a card was stropped from a window, by the young lady, upon which was written the following: r "Com pliments of the young ladies to Robinson's mena gerie.

The "town cf Beaufort, Morebead City, and Furt Macon, lie at the points of the triangle, and about two miles distant from each other, on three sides of the harbor. In front is Old Topsail In let. To the left stretches Core &und, to the right Bogue Sound. Calico Creek is to , these larire waters what the rat terrier is to several - large dogs. It comes round from the left of Morchead, as you face the sea. To the right again is Newport River. , , Beaufort Harbor lies in the tnidst.of thesa surroundings, 83 placid as a lake, nuxch ofithe time. . 't ' ..-?-"? Never was there a place tliat ofTered finer sport ia the amusement of sail boating.-; Th wul boats themselves wo abundant, and cia easily be hired, with boatmen who know how to manage a boat, as well as an up-country man un derstands a wheelbarrow. The route is almost endless, to thed?ort, to the banks, around Uax- ker's Island, etc.',, etc. .. -'zll . . The duck tribes are most abundantly '.repre sentod in this Harbor and the surrounding sounds and marshes. J The highest priced duck is the Mallard, a. large fine-looking fowl. It has dark colored feathers. . ' . ? " The Raft, or Red Head Duck comes next to the Mallird in tpuality, perhaps. - Itialargand the meat fine. , - i Tho Black Head Duck is abundant. A parrel of corn is deposited, convenient to the ranges 'of the Black Head, and in a few days flocks of them gather at the spot, when they are shot : invite him to dine, then -dine on "him. , The poon Bill Duck has a beak almost exactly like the bowl part of a tea spoon. But it would be inipossibb,, in a letter like this, to give you de-fai'f$ of all the Ducks in these waters. There is the little hprig-Tail i'uck, the Dye-Dipper, the Black Brandt, Eel Vot, aud some twenty or thirty varieties in all. . -J ,..fcJ For the most part they are obtained by means of powder and phot. Docks sleep on tho, water at night. A bright light is placed in a canoe, aud the dockers row out into places frequented by thcee fowls, and the light seepis to stupuy theru. The hunters fire into the. flocks, and se cure a good number. 1 hey can pet but one shot at each flock, however, as the birds take to their winjrs at the find fire. . It is rather calculated to nterrupt the slnmbers of the duck family thue to fire upon them, but it is admirably calculated .-.! i - i i i i to give pan ot me uuman jaunty. .a goou urea fast next morning. ' " r '"w" These ducks are divided into two hsbits.'the grass feeding, and the fish-feeding. . The former' arc farmore .palatable. The flesh of-the" fish duck is impregnated with the fish taste, and dis-' liked by- many, but there is a fine grass nt the bottom of the waters, which is an elegant pasture1 for these fowls.. .The 'ducks like the grass, end' the people like the ducks, so it works well all around: . - There are many other members of the feathered tribes here.- The Long Bill Curlew is a noble'' bird and fine for food. Willcts, Snipes, Pea Chickens, and Strikers sbound snd nuurd fine sport fur the summer visitor. Tho. Msn-h Hen: is one of the nwst abundant fowls of the vicinity: It is web footed and makes poor job of walking. It seeks the marshes to lay its eggs and hatch its young often 24 in number, at one setting. They are easily caught, provided you do not mind wet' feet and muddy boots. ,J " - All through this conntrv, there arc whnt are- caiiea marsies. - j ney arc isianon in inc Sirt , water.

The Gull is one of the most abundant birds of J the coast. - It Hires mostly on the -wing. I It floats over the water, and fixing its eye'npon a ,f fish, it poises over a few seconds, then folding its' wings, it drops upon the victim. The Gull is 4 mostly white, but not unfreouently they are fotwd ' mixed with white and black. They will' follow " vessels for mile, to pick up the refuse from the?.' cook's department. - - '.--"''''? s" There are two Hcrrons here! the white and the blue. If there were a red spwics. it would " be a right loyal set. They are reniarkabls for ; their long legs. 'The body is small io jpmpbrtioa to their height. It is a good fisher.' It stands in shallow water, and keeps a sharp lookout for fish, which it has not only a liking for, but faculty for ! catching.
