The foregoing table shows the difference in time between Augusta and the
places specified. For instance, suppose you were at Macon, and wished to have
or to know the Augusta time, all you would have to do to obtain it, would be to
observe the exact time of the Sun's passage over the Meridian of that place, and
then find Macon in the table, and take out the difference in time for that place,
and add it to apparent noon at Macon, and you would have the Augusta apparent
time. If you should wish the Macon time at Augusta, you should apply the
" Equation of Time," taken from the top of the Calendar page, according to the I
instructions given, for using that table.
All the places in the table, marked with an asterisk (*), are nearly in the Lat- i
itude of Augusta, and therefore the Sun will rise and set, at said places at the !
same relative hour and minute at which he rises and sets at Augusta. At all the \
places not marked, the Sun's relative rising and setting will differ from his relative
rising and setting at Augusta ; and the difference will increase as their Latitudes
from that of Augusta increase.
A few places in the table are marked thus , which shows that they are
East of Augusta; therefore the difference in time between them and Augusta,
must be subtracted from their respective times, in order to obtain the Augusta time.
At all places in the Latitude ef Augusta, all around the glode, the Sun rises and
seta at the same relative hour and minute, at which he rises and sets at Augusta.

OARD-
Having purchased the entire Stock and good will
of the firms of Barrett, Carter & Co., and Barrett
& Carter, I propose to carry on the Wholesale Drug
Business, in all its branches, in a thorough mercantile
manner, endeavoring to fully sustain the well known
reputation of this house which it has enjoyed for the
last 41 years.
My own experience, aided by the knowledge gain¬
ed from my predecessors, I think will enable me to
select articles adapted to the trade of this section. I
will at all times sell as low as the market will allow,
and by furnishing pure Drugs, and none but the best
articles, together with prompt attention to orders, I
hope to merit a good patronage.
I have now in Stock, and will always keep supplied
with a full assortment of Drugs, Chemicals, Dye
Stuffs, Paints, Oils, Yarnishes, Brushes, Soaps (com¬
mon and fancy), Perfumery, Proprietary Medicines,
&c., &c., to which I would call the attention of buy¬
ers and request the privilege of showing and pricing
my Goods to them before they purchase elsewhere!.

WHITE LEAD,
OILS, VARNISHES & COLORS.
Having recently perfected arrangements with an
old and well established White Lead Manufacturing
Company, I am enabled to offer superior inducements
to parties wanting an article of good LEAH
WARRANTED STRICTLY PURE.
As there are many brands of Lead now being offer-
. ed and sold which possess no good qualities, X feel
certain that a PURE article, offered at a reasonable
price, can but meet a good demand.
In Oils, Varnishes and Colors,
This house having always been heavy buyers in the
market, have facilities for offering them at very lew
prices. In these, as well as LEADS, I shall endeavor
to sell the BEST.
Parties intending to paint their residences .will do
well to inquire of me before ordering elsewhere.
All communications promptly attended to, and any
desired information cheerfully given.

the respiration of the mature bees, but for the hatching of the eggs
and developing the larvae, a fine netting of air vessels enveloping the
eggB, and the cells of the larvae being closed with a covering of air holes.

Salt and Ashes foe Hoeses.—Those keeping horses should,
twice a week,, throw in a handful of salt and ashes. Mix them by
putting three parts of salt to one ot ashes. Horses relish this, and
it will keep their hair short and fine. It will prevent hots, colic,
etc. A little ground sulphur, ihixed with salt and ashes, and given
once in two or three weeks, is beneficial. All domestic animals
will he thus benefitted.

A Lady in the Wrong Bath.—A newly married couple recent¬
ly arrived in New Orleans. Jaded and tired, they would each have
a bath before retiring. They found the baths at their hotels so
situated that a lady and gentleman (especially when the lady is the
gentleman's wife) can take their baths in adjoining apartments.—
But, unfortunately for the happiness of the couple, baths at the
same time were ordered lor other guests who had jost arrived, and
by the most natural mistake in the world, our bride got into the
wrong bath.
It was at that moment of supreme enjoyment, when the warm,
genial water was coquetting with the beautiful form ; when, like
the maiden on the banks of the Ganges, the bride was admiring the
loveliness the water reflected, that the door was pushed gently
open, and a tall, bearded masculine entered.
Of course the lady screamed—indeed, did she. Such a succession
of shrieks have rarely echoed that building, numberless as may have
been its experience in screams.
"Oh, bush; for God's sake keep quiet 1 you'll alarm the city."
" Oh, you dreadful man 1" and the shrieks waxed more loud and
piercing, and the angry little hands beat the water around her into
a foaming cascade like a miniature Niagara.
By this time the whole house was alarmed, and.the patter of run¬
ning feet was heard through all the corridors. The man conldn't
get out, because he was not dressed. He couldn't remain, because
it was immodest. The husband by this time was thundering at the
door, and inquiring in far from calm accents, what the devil was
the matter ?
" Help me 1 help me!" screamed the bride." The horrified hus¬
band heard in reply:
" Wait till I get my clothes on and I'll go !"
He could endure no more, but bursting open the door, rushed like
demon into the room, crying frantically for " Mary ! Mary! My
God, what's the matter ?" But at the same time his eyes lighted
on the stranger, turning madly in ineffectual efforts to resume his
apparel. On him he seized, and, with his fist raised, demanded the
meaning of this intrusion.
It was afforded in a trembling tone, which disclosed his sense of
the peril.
The lady had got into the wrong bath ; he was not aware of her
presence until he undressed; he meant no offense. For mercy sake,
let him out 1
The explanation proving satisfactory, the unfortunate stranger
fled, and the bride was left to the consolations of her lord.
What is the difference between an editor and a wife ? One sets
articles to rights, and the other writes articles to set.

An Old Table.—" That is probably the oldest piece of furni¬
ture in England," said a collector of antique curiosities to a friend,
pointing to a venerable looking table as he spoke.
" How old is it?" asked the friend.
" Nearly four hundred years."
"Pshaw! that is nothing. I have an Arabic table over two
thousand years old."
" Indeed 1"
" Yes; the multiplication table !"
Kustic Courtship.—I hitched my chair close up to hern, shet
my eyes, and shudderingly sed:
" Sally, I've been a-hankering arter you for a long time—that's
so ! I love you from the foot of your sole to the head of your
crown, and I don't keer who nose it. Epluribus onions !"
With that she fetched a screech, and arter a while she sez :
"Uriah!"
" Sally," sez I.
" Yes," says she, hidin' her face.
" Glory! ga-lory!" sez I, " I kin jump a ten-rail fence: Hooray!
hooray!"
With that I sorter sloshed myself down by her and clinched.—
Talk about your night blooming serious! Oh, my! Oh, broom-
straw with sorgum lasses on 'em ! Ef Sally's father hadn't hollered
out, " It's time for decent folks to be in bed/' I du believe I'd staid
all nite.
An Accomplished Justice.—There was once a little gentleman
—one Peter Peterson—appointed as justice of the peace. The first
day his clerk handed him a duplicate writ.
" Well, wot shall I do with it ?" was the query.
" Nothing but sign your initials," was the reply.
" My nishulg—what are they ?"
" Why, two P's," replied the clerk, impatiently.
Cold perspiration stood on the forehead of the unhappy magis¬
trate, as he seized a pen, and, with desperation in his face, wrote
" Two peze."
A good sort of a man in Maine was recently asked to subscribe
for a chandelier for the church. " Now," said he, " what's the use
of a chandelier ? After you get it you can't get any one to play
on it."
To get more than one hundred cent's for a dollar—invest it in a
bottle of perfumery.
Out of Place.—Why is a woman mending her stocking de¬
formed ? Because her hands are where her feet belong.

Utilizing the Old Man.—A newspaper correspondent, meeting
a party of settlers in Texas, inquired from the conductor what the
men in the first wagon were intended for.
" To clear the forests."
" Well," said he, " and what are those in the second for ?"
"To build the huts," was the reply.
" And that old white headed man in the third wagon—what is he
for ?" was the next question asked, to which the reply was given :
" Oh, that's my father ; we shall open our new cemetery with
him."
The correspondent did not inquire further.
An ex-" devil" of a country printing office was questioned as to
the duties of a '• printer's devil." He replied, " to bring in clean
water, carry out dirty water, steal wood, lie, and numerous other
things."
" Papa," said a little urchin to his father the other day, " I saw a
printer go down the street just now."
" Did you, sonny ? How did you know the person was a printer ?"
" Because I do, papa."
" But he might have been a carpenter, blacksmith, or shoemaker."
" Ob, no, papa, he was a printer—likely an editor—for he was
gnawing a bone, and bad no stockings on. The crown was out of
his hat, and his coat was all torn. 1 am certain he was a printer."
Curious Thought.—A little four year old girl asked her mother
" if the angels do not help God to put out the stars every morning."
It was a child's thought, but too holy to be compassed by our
stoical philosophy. The little questioner has not yet been in the
world long enough to forget the language of heaven.
" A Yankee, having told an Englishman that he shot, on one
particular occasion, nine hundred and ninety-nine snipe, his inter¬
locutor asked him why be didn't make it a thousand at once.
" "No," said he ; " not likely I'm going to tell a lie for ©ne snipe."
Whereupon the Englishman rather " ri'ed," and determined not
to be outdone, beean'to tell a long story of a man having swam
from Liverpool to Boston.
" Did you see him ?" asked the Yankee, suddenly—" did you see
him yourself ?"
" Why, yes, of coarse I did I was coming across, and our vessel
passed him a mile out of Boston harbor."
"Well. I'm glad you saw him, stranger, 'cos ye ar witness that I
did it. That was me!"

THE garden.
In the important matter of Gardening, due regard
must be ^ had to all the surroundings, and intelligent
modifications and variations made of, and from, any and
every " rule " which may, or possibly can be, laid down.
Is your garden spot high or low ? Exposed to the bleak
north wind, or sheltered from its blasts ? Shaded by
trees, or open to the Sun ? These questions decided,
proceed accordingly. First—Read all through the fol¬
lowing directions and see if there is not something which
you must prepare now in order to be ready then. WORK!
This is the continual watch-word in the garden. Work !
Work all the time, and success is certain:
January.—Of course your garden has not heen permitted to run to 'waste du¬
ring the few cold months of the past year; hut if such he the case, prepare
the soil at once—it is never too cold to turn up the soil for the action of the wea¬
ther. If no fertilizers have heen applied commence their use immediately, and
as soon as possible, sow Peas, Spinach, Cal-bages, Beets, Lettuce, Radishes, Pars¬
nips, Salsify, Asparagus, Carrots, and Parsley. Plant. Horse-radish and Irish
Potatoes.
February.—In many portions of our favored clime, much progress has heen
made in the garden, and those who have followed our directions for January are
now ready to transplant Cabbages, Lettuce, etc. Continue to plant Peas, of
which there are so many good varieties that it would he presumptuous in us to
discriminate. Beans should he planted now; also, Cauliflower should he sown.
The soil for, should he weil manured and tilled, before sowing seed, or transplant¬
ing. All the seed mentioned in the previous month may now be sown, for con¬
tinuance. Look after the Asparagus bed. In warm, dry situations Squashes and
Melons may be planted, hut have at hand means of protection against unfavor¬
able weather.
March.—Peas continne to plant. Cabbage plants, from winter beds, transplant,
especially Landreth's Large York and Early York, which are superior to the im¬
ported, being larger and bearing the heat better. Remember, to have fine head
Cabbage and Lettuce, deep culture and highly manured soil is required. Onions
and Leeks sow. Turnips, sow a few, they may succeed. Potatoes plant. Car¬
rots and Parsnips sow, if enough were not sown last month. Mustard, Cress and
Curled Lettuce for small salid, sow at least once a fortnight. Parsley sow. To¬
mato sow in warm situation ; Those from the hot-bed may be set out. Peppers
sow close of this month. Melons, both Citron and Water, sow. Cucumbers sow.
Okra sow; also Squash and Pumpkins. Beets and other root crops sown last
month will be advancing; they should be thinned and cultivated. Celery and
