A man baring married a .woman ; in Tazewell
county, 111., who had already had four husbands,
was asked why he became the fifth. He said :
"I am of an adventurous disposition, and having
heard that her first husband ran away, that the
second hung himself, the third shot himself, and
the fourth drowned himself, I wanted to try my
luck and see what would become of me ; and I'm
afraid." he added with j;V sigh, Vthat I shan't

The solemn ceremony of the last profession
and taking the black veil by two choir novices
was witnessed in the Ursuline Convent, in East
!Mrrisania, Sunday morning, by the relatives
and friends of the youthful candidates. The
nanies of those who have thus separated them
selves for life; from the outer world and its pomps
and vanities j are ; Miss j Harriet : Leonard, now
Sister Mary ISeraphine ! Josephine, :of the Fire

j The hour appointed for the ceremony was half-
si nine, out neiore maz ume ine rienus itaa

The cereiiiony was begun by the entrance
pf-ihe procession at the . hour appointed. The
pupils of the school, in dark dresses of.brown or
blue, and veiled with white lace, came first: next.
jthej novices, dressed in the; black habits of the
order, With white veils over their: hoods and
;apcs, and cajrjjing a crucifix m the right hand,
md a burning: taper in the leYt: then the profess-
ed bistewor the community,, leading j the young
candidates, robed and veiled in blacky and lastly,
the Mother Suppriof. The candidates for pro
fession then seated themselves in . front of the
altar. - I i ; I l l ;; j
The waxeni candles which they had borne in
their hands were placed on a narrow table in
front of them covered with crimsou Velvet. The
canaies arrangea in tripje groups, on me aitar,
gleaming agaiustthe white and gilded tracery of
the screen and tabernacle,' the veiled , figures of a
large nuniberjof pupils and thirty or forty black-
robed nuns and liovices, the motionless figures or
the candidates in the aisle and the conventional
dress or the cngres;ation, made a most striking
and beautiful tableau. iv
The procession had scarcely been seated when

few thoughts, which I
design for. the benefitof those especially who are
tess" experienced in the farming business than
fiyself. The first idla 1 1 wish to impress Is, the
all important one of resuscitating bur worn !out,
bid Jands. ; I say all Important for more reasons
jthan one jf first, a larse portion of the more de
sirable lands of Georgia have been cut down and
much w6rn. and now that!we cannot control labor
as in days of yore, to lclear more fresh laud, it is
pur duty and interest! to bend our energies, with
one hand and one male, it will make more pro
duce than two hands and two mules would make
on ordinary land without the benefit of the fer
tilizer' Hence the expense of the feed of one
mule and the expense of one hand to plow the
mule is dispensed with, while the yield ofthe
land thus manured on half the tiuount of i&nd
the two hands could hive cultivated, will be
equal, if -not superior in quantity snd better in
quality. Lands properly plowed and well man
ured and cultivated, will make as' much on one
acre as three acres will without manure, and tV
ordinary culture. j
I Mr Editor, I have extended this article muph
longer than I contemplated. I plead in extn
na tion .for doing so, my great desire for lb e im
provement in agriculture iudicated in the article.
Trusting at least that some one maybe benefitted
by it, I Sejr leave to subscribe myself with acnti
itients of high esteem. , ;
TheCobn Crop. The Indian corn crop in
s actual iutrinsic value to the country stands
pre-eminent above all other agricultural products,
ana mere are out lew crops wnicn suow mora
plainly the good effects of high manuring and
kilful culture than that of corn. And irfarm
eta by trood cultivation can obtain from five acres
of land as much corn as can be gathered from
ten or fifteen, they can have the surplus to Iy
rest, or for other uses. Thousands of acres.
planted to corn in this country do not yield more
than forty bushels to the acre, which would with
thorough tillage and good inanuri&g produce
eighty bushels or more. But some farmers think
that if they put all the manure on a few acres the
balance of theland will suffer, which is a mis
taken idea. If they have more land than they
can cultivate well, they had better sell the remain
der or give it to a friend, and let it be under
stood that if land is once thoroughly ; fitted and
manured for corn, it will produce a succession of
good crops, which will more than repay the ex
pense bestowed on the corn. Fewor acres plant
ed, io corn and those better manured and tended.
would greatly increase the crop as well as the
profits of raising it.

Goat's Milk.
It is. generally allowed, I believe, by the med
ical facult y at large, that goat's milk is possessed
of great medicinal qualities, being; especially re-
cjouimended for weakly infants and consumptives.
Ijj presume that people attribute its virtues to its.
superior richness, it having many more parts of
sugar in its composition than the richest of cow's
tniik. : ' . " . '. 'I I .
From actual experience it is easy to ascertain
from whence the medicine in gouts tuilk arisct.
If the goat lives naturally, aud is allowed to
choose her own food, she picks out the bitterest
herbs as her choicest repast. If aring had gott's
riiilk highly epokeu of, wo procured one fot fant
ify use last spring, and found her especial delight

! dandelion, hard hack and fern ji food where
she could not browse the twigs she would strip
the b.irk off thoshrubs revealed the source of
the virtue in her milk. The leaves and bark of
the common bitter swamp willow aud sarsaparilhi
she preferred to corn; still the milk was perfect
ly sweet aud free fiom all flavor arising from her
food. . . 1
I She commenced giving milk in May. and nntil
the close of the summer gave two strained mea
sured quarts of milk a day before! shrinking in .
hW yield at all. ! I
In a village one of these little animals is inval
uable. Their keeping is but little more costly
than that of u common sheep, and poe not de
pendent upon the uncertain sweetness of milk
cart fluid, and the often unwholesome milk of
moderately diseased cows. The most important
fact, however, is a statement madb last summer
by a gentleman from New Jersey : That goat
milk fed exclusively to scrofulous children would
effects curd; such a fact having come to his
knowledge; and, too, where the child was pro
nounced incurable. If this be true, people with
children so diseased should make every effort to
afford them this diet. Mrs. C, iu llurul AVio .
