No, indeed," said Jenny. '"Bat, dear mamma, that's just the trouble. The girls were all acfmiruig it at rece?s, wheti Re becca Dale spoke up and said that she . might have as pretty a dress if my papa ' would pay her papa what he owes hire; and I'd rather," she continued as she hung up the new dress and took down an old one, "wear the shabbiest clothes in the world than wear uice things land be insulted." i j AJrafTBliss made no reply, Jennie was , but twelve years bid, yet she spoke some what decidedly, and the mother had late ly begun "to paeceive that l?er children weie nb-Jouger babies.

'But here was a piuch that hurt. It had aN ways,been her ambition to see her family looking nice, and now these debts, that hid hitherto sat so ea3t, were obtruding their lugly presence to mar that pleasure.

Itappealrs, however, that they had an irreconcilable quarrel hi a very, vital sub ject.

"Nice and early, my love," he said correcting tr. "iNo; 1 mean nice aud late, ot course, she answered. "Bur, my dear," he re monstrated, "lime is moueyj as Solomon says.

SMALL ENGAGEMENTS. i How mncli tiro brightness of christian honor .is dimmed by inatlentioTT to ''tri fles" has, by contrast, an illustration iu the following bit of history : "Sir William Napier was one day taking a long walk near Frshfqrd, when he met a little girl about five years old, sobbing over a bro ken bowU She had dropped and broken ji in cringing u oacK Irom tbe hId to which she had taken her father's dinner in it, and she said she; would be beaten on her return for having broken it; then, with a sudden gleam 6f hope, she inno cently Rooked iuto his face and said : ,413ut ye can mend it, can't jy el'' Sir William explained that he could not mend the bowl, but ihei trouble he! could by the "fi.(J . 4 1- . biuu1 i pence 10 pay anotner.

Good byeno use hollering !" ' From the Southern Planter and Farmer THE BESTv BREED OF CATTLE FOR THE .ENTIRE SOUTH. There has been so much said in agri' cultural journals about the different breeds of cattle. Some recommend the Ayrshiies, some the Jerseys, some the Short Horns, and some the Devons. There is no breed that posesses so many good pojiuts combined lor nil short grass sections us the Dvons. All the abovu breeds have qual ities which give them preference for the particular purposes the breeder may de sire lo make of them, butJ'or general piuf- poges and ihe.rougji fare,, of any mum try that is not specially a good grass ecc;i )n ) the Devons will probably take pre-eminence over all other breeds of cattle. The Devon ox is admired above all others for work, and is acknowledge to be superior to all, being hardy, active, docile, easily fed, und has endurance, having a strong constitution. They make good oxu at the age of 10 lo IS years ot age. Dt-von blood crossed with the native cowj or with other improved breeds, w ill convey then peculiar traits of form color of fart hei dowu in the crosses than any other im proved breeds of cattle. The verv first cross oroduces such a vast improvement in size, f.rtu and gener al appearance that the most casual obser ver cannot fail to nwlice it. The differ ence in the value of a call by a Devon bull over that of a scrub fpm lhe same cow would not be less then ten dollars at one year old, and the difference would in crease as 1 her grow older. The general introduction of Devon bulls to replace the scrubs lluit are wandeiiug about over lhe old fields of Virginia and North Carolina would save more than double lhe value of rthe net slock. 1 The most feasible method for the introduction of these animals auionjr8l the farmers is for several farmers to .combine and purchase one for the ue of all! The pure blood Devon cow of ro day id different from what she was fifteen or twenty year? ago. It is no unusual thinz of the nrese:it d.-.y to see a pure blooded Devon cow carrying off the first prize at our agricultural fairs as the best dairy cow. "From trials made in Deibyshire, England, the Devon breed of cows, fed 011 the same pastures, prove quite equal to the Jerseys or Ay i shires iu quan tity of butter. The writer made several trijl of' half breed Djvonsland Short Horns of entne age, raised on same feed to thepge of four years. "In this trial lhe Short Horn grades excelled the Devon grades in height aud length, but iu weight or flesh, the Devon gradei showing more flesh and better condition during the whole term they were fed together. Boih trials proved the Devon stock iheeaf iest fed and hardiest cattle, and the'most profitable stock for all purposes, with ordinary feed. I have seen Devon oen that weighed over 2,000 pounds, and not as fat as l bey might have been at that. ! The Devon! cow is the poor man's cow, the pet of small farms and scant pastures, being docile, (yielding a good product longer than any other known breed ; will yield a fine chance of mil Ic until 15 or IS years old. She is satisfied with little; and with that little coarse. Their butter commands the very best price in the mark et. 1 heir milk is the best of all other breeds, being rich in quality, the cream blending with the milk, making ii peculiar ly suited for the milk dairy. The Devona are being introduced iuto allthe grass sfctiobs of the United States, and some of the largest Short Horn breeders are now turning their attention to lhe breeding j of them. Wherever they have beeu introduced they have met with favor. : :; F. W. Chiles. . Louisa C. ., V.

An Angiista'cbrre!ix)ndent " of the 'Atl.fnta GmstUhtfoA'tofue, under dute of lhe 2d init, as follow of the i merest manifested in that city in the labors of this successful evangelist, who has been conducting a aerie of meeting under the auspices of the! Younjj Men's :i Christian Asso ciation : Perhaps there never was a time before now when religious'feeling wasVlronger,' deeper, or more jrenieral in August. Under the leader ship of Ar. Moody, lhe daily meeting are at tended y immense, crowds), combining all classes and conditions of people. Strong, rough men, who were wont to disregard and laueh at everv iiow exhortation, and who were always '.-arele of the future, are now, in many instances, bending beneath a deep pens? of religions conviction, and are become cerious and apprehensive a to their fjiirittial condi tion. Young ladies and girls have left oft thinking of the giddy ball room, and are turn ing to serious and imperative dutie. Indeed, all ages and kind of men, womeu and children seem to be affected by this unusual fervor that is in the very atni rsphere of Augusta. The city pastors have put on new enery, and are win king with a harmony and earnestness that will of necessity accomplish great results. And so, too, with a great many of the laymen of the different denominations. The Chureh gener ally of ill is ci ly is Jike a spiritual bee hive, and m:my are the workers therein. Mr. Moody I lun k? the cause "of Christ ten-fold stronger upon earth than ever before, and that the treat interest that is manifested in Augusta is but a type of the general spread of the (iopel among the nations of the-earth that is going on. Miss Harriet Tilgham. A heroic girl. She climbs on a house-top and fights fire like a steam engine. Iloanoke Nctcs : We learn that the fiue, large dwelling house near Garysburg owned by' J.J. Long, Eq., and at present occupied by Mr. J. B. Tilgham and family, caught fire at an angle of the roof from the chim ney sparks (it was supposed) about three o'clock ou lhe afternoon of Friday last. There was no male assistance nearer than a quarter of a mile. Mr. T. and his sons were absent, and neaily a mile distant at lhe tira?. Mrs. Tilgham aud her two daughters Misses H irriet and Ella. MrJ. T's little grand daughter, and thu school children, were the only persons in the house. . Very soon after tho alarm was raised, the point of danger was ascertain ed, and Miss Harriet Tilghatn procured a ladder which was in the yard, sorno twenty live steps from the back door, and with it hastened to the house, and then up a flight of stairs to the second lloor and by means of it, after being pla ced iu position, reached lhescultlo. Here she encountered a volume of smoke. Nothing daunted, however, and knowing uo lime was to be lost, she acted without hesitation, and. finally reached th burn ing roof through the trap door, raising the door with her head and turning it oyer so that she could get on the roof and make her way to the fire. ( )o lhe roof a double dangerjawaited her in the risk of falling to t lie ground thirty-six feet or more, and i of heri clothing cutctiiii" lire from the quivering flame, pressing towards her by the high wind prevailing at the tinif. Buckets" of water hid b hi drawn, and carried to the Second florby the school children and some colored friends on the premises, as soon as circumstances would . i . a I - WW . . L permit, ibougti ansa Harriet was on tne roof ten minutes or more bef.rc aid reach ed'her. The buckets had all to be gotten up the ladder, and Miis Harriet lo reach them, had lo go to and from the tiap door, probably twenty feet or more, and sometimes walked upright on the highest part of the roof with a bucket of water in injr hand, and at others crawled along to i Ije fire as best she could. Determined lo subdue thu flames she succeeded and thus through her heroic exertions aud great daring, the property was saved from destruction and (perhaps) some in surance company or other from a large stim i The young lady descended in safely and suffered no inconvenience be yond a few bruises.

" The idea has gotten-hojd' on the public iniud that it is a good thing but a costly on. It is tru that, -when considered siuijdy as a prepa-ation wheat, without " calculating on auy immediate return extiept through the increase of the wheat crop, the outlay of money and labor might form a considerable item; but I am ontideut that a return much u.'ore immediate, aud fVenj if possible, more valuable, may be realized; If fanners would give one field to the pea, to be drilled in w ith one hundred pounds of superphosphate to the acre, aud. after maturity, fed down upon the ground to hogs, the park realised would more than pay the entire expense of the pea erop, ami leave the land almost if nt Tpnte in as good a condition as if the entire crop had been turned umfer. for everything would be left upon the land, except that carried away in the form of fat. I am satisfield that au acre of good peas will mak at least ne hundred pounds of prk, which will pay all thu expanse attndiiiff thecrop twice over. Correspondent of Southern Farmer. CUNNING OF THE ADDER. A corre?pondent of ' the Milwaukee Sentinel states that over thirty years ago, iu Loeds, Greene county! N. 1., his atten tion was one day attracted by the plain tive cry of a c t. Looking into a garden, an adder was seen near the cat The cat seemed to be completely paralyzed by fear of the adder ; she kept up the plain tive cry, as if in great distress, bift did not lake her eye off the serpent, or make any attempt to attack or escape. Soon the snake saw that human eyes were ob serving him, and he commenced to crawl slowly away. "1 then continues the writer of the narrative, concluded to rc lease the cat from its trouble. 1 took a garden rake and put it !on the snake's brtck, and held it without hurting it. As soon as I had the snake fast in this posi tion, it raised its bead, flattened il out, and bl ew, making hissing noise, and something resembling breath or stearr came from its mouth. .When that w.i! th rake, and the i'sH'-ick, lying as if exhausted 1 removed adder turned over oh dead. With the rake 1 turned it orer'on its belly ngain, but it irajnedi tiely turned on its back.
