They should cultivate affection, for levc is of God. Another fault iu our -met hods of j courtship wliich should be e'oiuleinii I ed is. the- want of conversation with ! respect ."'to the peculiar traits of j each ether. The young m an shemld describe to the young lady his j w eak point -;. and she may, in return, ; speak of his good qualities. This w ill prevent, after marriage, many ; mutual recr.iminarioii. 1 j The young man should' state ! frankly to his attiaiiced hiA tiuan j cial condition. He should also le i iiiioruied it she has any property', ; and its nature and value. They j know, mutually, their exact tiuati 1 cial condition. The idea should be scorned that the y oung man may i deceive the young- lady as to his affairs. For the sake of "comfort 1 after marriage thev should act to- ii ' : . i -Mt , I ward each other withentire canelor. f JUJ) FAEM AND OUNTRY' There is too much holding back! :' upon the subject of money mat-j" Hei Grain for the Silth. - ters. A young man should also unde ceive a lady if he has no serious in tentions in reference to her. She will, really, respect him for his frankness in regard to what he might propose doing. If he has no thought of address ing her seriously he should let the fact be known without delay. Young men should also be careful what they say or do in the pres ence of these giggling girls for they often make the best wives. Six out often of them marry sedate men and soon settle down into staid matrons. Men of sober sense do not want wives of sober sense, and giggling girls do not want giggling boys. There is, however, no one rule as to the manner of conducting court ship. All will court as they please in their own wav. In conclusion, take as your motto the golden njde, and do to the young lady in all your intercourse with her what you would like her do to you. The golden rule is a rule made in heaven, and it is applica ble to courtship as well as to all other affairs of life. Do not think i thought os commit an act in ref erence to her that you would not have her think or commit in refer ence to yourself. This makes char acter the basis ""of courtship, and the character is a sacred thing. The Latest in Dances There has beeu much talk ot tlie late fashionable dances, and some people, who have never indulged iu or seen the '-Racquet," may desire to get an idea of it. The waltzing of the period is startlingly unlike that of a half dozen years 'past. The '-racquet," strictly speaking, is neither a waltz nor a polka, the best parts of both are preserved. Some cynical person, who litis only looked at the new dance, thus de scribes it : ! "The music strikes up with, a crash, as though a new volcano had broken out, and the girl will, cling tightly, as though frightened, if she understands the dance, and the young man will reassure her by a gentle pressure, if he understands the dance, or knows anythiug at all. At the second crash, . they dodge, as though some one had thrown a blacksmith' shopat them, and they start in. They begin by imitating3the struggle for life, rep resenting a person who is drowning, but, tit each crash of the cymbals anelbass drum," rhey dodge and shoot to one side, then dart back again, jam each other sideways and ; then, 'as the crash becomes more j terrific and deafening, they try to j drive each other through the floor 1 by main strength, get desperate j and claw and tear and mill. an.. ! the-U all at once, thev -,, ravin.' mail with hydrophobia and delirium ire mens, and gnash their teeth and rave and sutler the most terrible agony and it is all'over. It is a short dance, as the design is amusement, notmurtler. But short as it is, i-. is said to be very sweet.'' The above is from the Xeicn and Observer, and describes the dance to perfection.

A liKimiU ACttyi JiI OF1IE XEVV CEEEAL BEOrGHT FEcAsotH AMERICA BY EEV.j H. hVrtT. V The Rev. H. II. Pratt, oSouth Carolina, was for sometime mis sionary in South America, h pre sented to the public a new Weal, miUomaize. ' It is found in (Uuni bia in large ipiantities, and inns the common food of the woltng classes there ,and is also used for working animals. Mr. Prat (has been ; successfully growing iiin South, Carolina tor several year The cakes made from it, groiindi to meal, 'arc preferred to corn nfhl bread. The Savannah Guano t 'o pany's chemist pronounces it siijl rior in food qualities to w heat. El perimeuts show that from 50 to 1(1 bushels ot clean seed per acre call be raised. Mr. Pratt describe flu plant as follows : "The plant is al lied to the sorghum and Guinea ... , . , , corn lamilies, and should not be - planted where there is any danger . of mixing them, j The grain is smaller and more meally. than the Guinea corn, the. heads are larger and more compact, ami the color is milk white instead lot red. It dif fers from tlie sorghum iu this, that the sugar it contains is fully con verted into corn when the grain matures so that, the pith of the green stalks becomes as dry and tasteless as that of Indian corn w hen the stalk is dead. In Baiv ranquilla, on the coast, - w here w e have a dry season (which is really a drought,) of five or six months' continuance, I have had if planted iu. my garden, and after it had rip ented one crop of seed, I have cut it down to the roots; in the midst of this dry season, and had a second crop, of inferior quality of course, to shoot up at euce from tip reots. I have been told that a. "third crop of fully ripened .seed can thus be made from a single plant. I do not know what this can imply (for the soil at that season : gets dry as a potsherd and nearly as hard,) unless it means that above most other plants this lives oil' the atmosphere', which there is certainly charged w ith moisture from the sea. It was this unlimited capacity to stand drouth which induced me to bring the-seed home, in tlie. belief (hat it would be of incalculable service to i our southern States when our crops I so often Tail 'froni drouth.
