The FLExoRS ANB ExrENsoRs OF THE MIND.
In the anatomy of the hand, we find that the
muscle by which we shut it, is much stronger
than the one by which we open it, and this holds
true to the giving Nad receiving. [Anon.
This is the natural formation of the muscles
of the hand, and the disposition of too many of
the human race tends to strengthen these grasp
ing muscles foi the flexors are much more frc-
quently and mere earnestly put int exercise than
the eKtensors The actions of the body are GO
verned and moved by the impulses of the mind
The scripture doctrine that sit is more blessed
to give than to receive"is rarely Needed in these
days of penury, except by few whose hearts are
open to compassion. The grabbing muscles are
brought into exercise, by some people, ON every
opportunity; but those which open the palm to
bestow a charitable act are in too many eases
suffered to remain dormant until it seems as
though they had lost the power of being moved
by volition.
Charity is an impulse which will open some
hands, but by far tee many epossessed of those
rigid muscles which cannot or will not be relax
ed, be the cries of distress ever so pitiful. And
what iskmore vexatious, those who are best able
to give, in many Instances, are least willing to
relax their grasping disposition. Some honora-
bic exceptions we well know there are; one in
particular to whom we referred, SEINE week or
two since, keeps the eXtensors in constant exer-
cise His hand is always open VIXEN necessity
calls. Would that we could say as much Of
many others who are abundantly able to con-
tribute to the wants of their fellow beings, but
one might as well attempt to extract sunbeams
from cucumbsrs, as to draw a copper from their
purses, even in cases of the most pressing me-
cessity. We could point out many such who
were never known to do charitable act.
Such sort of beings hardly deserve the name
of humanity. They are wholly bound up in
selfshness, ggrandizement, and sefinterest.
They wish to be thought rich. They want to
look down upon others who happen not to he SO
fortunate as themselves, bat who possess more
honesty and honor, as mere serfs who must sub
init to their beck and their nod. These mean,
avaricious, graspiag beings are curse to So
ciety. The rgidity of their muscles seems to
prevent them from exercising those benevolent
faculties which have been bestowed upon them
by the God of nature for the relief of their fell
low beings.
A little exercise of the opening muscles Of the
palm would be highly honorable to certain per-
sons whom we well know, and would not be OF
the least injury to great number of their fell
low beings, and we hope, as the cold winter is
at hand, the eXtensor muscles of these people OF
''much substance" will be more frequently ex-
ercised than the Decentralization transcript.

see these matters discussed freely, openly and

The South Western Rail Road Bank
has lately stepped forward 10 do what the
Bank of the State and she ought to have
done at the start, even against all others.
to aid the credit of the Road. in this grea,
state enterprise. The State is interested
largely in the road-and the South Wes-
tern Bank was chartered 10 make the road,
aud we think these institutions ought to
have given their influence 10 aid the credit
OF the Company.
The South Western Bank receives on
deposile and pays out the small bills nf the
company under The denomination of So
and rhe Town Council of Columbia have
also made them receivable for all dues
to the Town. We think this demnnsrra-
tinn Of good feelings towards the company
was due by Columbia. aud hope our cili-
zens will reflect on The propriely of aidirg
whenever they can The progress of The
Road.
The small change bills are very much
needed throughout the country, aud will
he great accommodation to merchants.
and We should think a convenience to the
Banks. We hope all the Banks will fol-
low the example Of the South Western
Rail Road Bank. and receive them. The
issue ofchange hills by the Bank of the

HAY MAKING.-Philosophy teaches.

us in the correctness Of her teachings, that

with The fork. The objections to the old
mode of curing wholly in the sun, are. in
The first place, that the leaves and finer
parts of grasses, drS, crumble. and are losl
ere the stems and succulent portions are
fit to carry to the barn. In the SECOND
place, thai al intense hot sun is hurful to

our method Of management, which expert
ence has Induced us somewhat to vary.
Our grass is heavy, averaging, perhaps,
2 | 2 2tons To The acre, and abnunds more or
less in clover. Where this preponderates.
or is in any considerable proportion, i've
endeavor to cut when the clover has lust

over in swath, but moi spread or tended,
after three or four o'clock in order that
the wilted Pdrlon may be covered from The

grass cocks, instead of being turned in the
swath. 7 he grass which is mown IN the
afternoon is put into cocks the following
afternoon, having heen turned in the swath

the grass is very heavy or wet. We never
spread from The swab, unless rain falls

to leave The cocks undsturbed two niphts
