A SOUTHERN PLANTER.

The following description of Southern plan

edfor by the New Orleans Tropic
"Now for the picture of the Planter He
wouldn't sell a chicken, nor dozen of eggs,
nor a bushe of peaches, nor calf, for any con-
sideration, He is above that he raises cotton,
he does He rides in a six hundred dollar carri-
age, for which he is in debt, His daughters thrum
piano that will never be paid for He buys
corn which he could raise at ten cents bushel,
and pays sixty cents for it, after 2 l-2 per cent
advance to his commission merchant. He could
raise his own tobacco, yet he pays SO pound
for Richmond scented He could raise his own
hogs-yet he patronizes Cincinnati The con-
sequences are disastrous. Being the possessor
of one staple, he fuctuates with the market Of
that article. He takes the Price Current-he
pays postage--he gobbes down the English
news like cormorant If he sells today he'll
lose-therefore he'll wait for better advices. He
is mixed up in cotton, and is gambler there

moved from an inland town to large city, sigh
ed betterly that all her husbands property, which
was wealth in retired village, would scarcely
furnish an aristocratic dwelling. A minister,
who never slept night without shelter or pass
ed day without food, pinned in secret at the
hardness of his field of labor, and the prospect
of want for his family. These have not rest.
There is a way which Jesus Christ would act
to-day, where he in my circumstances. Certain
words he would speak Certain things do, and
certain things refrain from doing.
Now as many as are thus led by the spirit of
God to do what Christ would, were he here;
they are the sons of God-and if children, then
heirs 4" heirs of God and joint heirs of Christ, "
and part of their inheritance is the deep soul
rest of God, which they may even now enter in
to by faith
Moreover, there is now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh but after the spirit. Then, sure
ly there is way for man to live without feel
ing any guilt or condemnation resting on his
soul. For if man is ever in a state of no con-
demnatiOn, surely he may become feeling con-
scous that such is his condition, and enjoy it as
much.
This, this is rest. To be constantly led by
the spirit of God--to do the will of Christ in my
present condition, through each day of life-to

THE GOOD FATHER AND HIS

He talked to his boys of the beauties of nature
that surrounded them, and showed them in what
wond erful variety of ways beauty is source of
pleasure. He then babe them listen to the songs
of the birds, TO the fall ofthe waters to the thou
sand sounds of earth and air--teachng them how
each added something to the great account of liv-
ing happiness. When the wind blew in their faces
or the sun shone on their foreheads, or the frost
bit the ends of their fingers, he told them how
much each administered to mans enjoyment. ]
the air was fragrant with the flowers of spring, OF
the sweet hay of summer, he explained to then
how the organs Of smell We're made subservien tc
the same great end; and as they looked upon The
different tribes Of busy creatures partaking of the
various food presented to them by their MakerI
munifcence he pointed out how numerous thei
pleasures, how marveIIously provided for, how in
intely spread. "See," saW he, "the great purpose
of Providence; the general lesson Of creation-hap
piness"
Time (said he) is the material out of which
pleasure is made; and he who makes most pleasure
out Oft, is the man who employs it best AM
Edith said, &c fancy understand you, papa No
body can be happy unless he is pleased at some

REMARKABLE FACTS.

Gen. Dearborn, of Massachusettssin lecture
delivered the last winter before the farmers of
the Massachusetts, House of Representatives, de-
cIared that ninety-seven out of every hundred
persons who obtained their livelihood by buying
and selling, failed or died insolvent He was
contrasting agricultural with mercantile pursuits,
and said that rich men should instll into their
sons love Of agriculture He declared that he
would prefer cottage in the country, with five
acres of ground, to the most splendid palace that
could be erected in the city, if he must depend
upon the success of merchandise to support it
He then went on to say, "that having been some
fifteen years in the Custom House in Boston, he
was surprised to find, at the close of his term, ar
entire new set of men doing business there j"
This induced him to look into the subect, anC
he ascertained, after much time and research
that ninety-seven out of every one hundred whit
obtained their livelihood by buying and selling

RELATIVE DECAY OF THE SEXES,

Decay in the male sex is much more rapid
than in the female. In three years ending June
80, 1910, the total number of deaths among
males throughout England and Wales was SIS
600, while the deaths among females were only
400, 05S, giving the excess of male deaths in
three years, of l8,94S. After this statement it
cannot appear surprising that the number of fe-
males in any country should notably exceed, the
number of males. AT the present time, in Lon
don, there are 996, 600 females to SIS, 900 males
or an excess of lis, GOO females. Coupled with
this fact, and obviously depending on it, is the
superior longevity of the female sex. There
died throughout England and Wales, between
first July, 1889, and Both of June 1910, 4,247
females, aged IS and upwards; whereas of the
same age there died only 1854 gentlemen, leav-
ing what is called in the city balance in favor
of the old ladies of ,203 Among the females
who died, II had passed the age Of 100, but
only 40 males There are only three diseases
common to the sexes, which carry off more fe-
males than males; they are consumption, cancer
and dropsy: deaths by childbirth form but very
small fraction of the mortality OF the female sex
The proportion is only 8 per 1000 of the total
mortality and as half million of children are
annually born in England and Wales, and scarce
ly 5000 deaths take place in chldbrths, sc
there is only one death to 40 confnements
The researches of the regiser-general have bro
to light some singular results with reference tC
the proportion in which acute diseases affect thu
two sexes. In the zymotic tribe the uniformity il
is quite extraordinary Thus out of s, 1914 per
sons dying of measles, in 1910, Throughout
England and Wales, 4,143 were males, AM
4,O5l females, difference Of only 90. Again
out of II 1862 persons dying Of scarlet fever il
the same year, 1927 we're males, 1896 were
females-a difference of only 8. On the othe
hand it appears that out of Ia, SOC dying of pnc
monia, SLIT were males, and only 6629 ft
males Out of 22,7S7 dying of commissions
) 1869 were males, and only 1O,0S9 females
The superior value of female life, which thi
and all statistical considerations tend to prove
; and which our insurance offices, by their yarli
ton of rates acknowledge is not attributable
any difference in the original construction of tn
; body, for man is built of stronger materials tina
woman but first to the smaller demand made Q
the vital power during he-middle period OF life
secondly to the healthier condition and temper
ture of the female mind and thirdly, to the les
: er amount of toll and anxiety which in high
cultivated country falls to the share Of women

FOrgiUeness-a Turkish Parabie.-A traveller,
who spent sometime in Turkey, relates parable
which was told him by dervis, and which seems
even more beautiful than Sterne's celebrated fig
ure of the accusing spirit and the recording angel.
Every man, said he, has two angeIs--one on his
right shoulder and one on his left. When he does
anything good the angel on his right shoulder
writes it down and seals it, because what is once
well done is done forever. When he does evil,
the angel upon his left shoulder marks it down,
but does not seal 1.-THE waits till midnight. If
before that time the man bows his head and ex-
claims, " Gracious Allah, have sinned-forgve
mel" the angel rubs that out: but if not, at mid
night he seals it, aud the angel on his right shout

MATRIMONY.

Nature and Natures God smile upon the union
that is sweetened by love and sanctifed by I0w.-
The sphere of our affection is enlarged, and our
pleasure takes wider range. We become more
important and respected among men, and existence
itself is doubly enjoyed with our softer SEX Mis-
fortune loses half its anguish beneath the soothing
influence OF her smiles, and triumphant when shor-
ed with her. Without her what is man? rowing
and restets being, driven at pleas ure by romantic
speculation, ard cheated into misery by futile
hopes-lhe mad victim of untamed passions, and
the disappointed pursuer Of fruitess Joys But
with her he awakens to a new life. He follows a
path-wder and nobler than the narrow road to
self-agg randizement-that is scattered with more
fragrant flowers, and Illuminated by a clear light.

" MURDER WILL OUT, " AND so WILL
TRUTH.
After all the mean and malicious attempts of
wing leaders to turn public Indignation against the
Liberty party for preventing the election Of Hen
ny Clay, they now turn round, and tell US, that
their allies, the Native American party, have done
the mischief They say 'the train of consecutive
causes and effects resulting from this movement
(of Natives) is that James Harper is Mayor of N.
York-T Thomas Woodruff and Lewis C. Levin in.
Congress; James K Polk is in the While House,
and II. Clay Is in ashland, by wing votes" They
then thrash the poor Natives as bad as if they
were Liberty men; and to encourage their south
ern masters, "Resolye, that as wings we maintain
the me national ground The same rejection Of all
sectional divisions TO 'ehich bound OURSELVES al
our first enrotement under the STANDARD of Henry
Clay."-See the Wing rally, Tribune, March %.
So the Native party are repudated by the
wings They no go. Such connection will Of
fend the Catholics and foreigners, aud the wings
will lose more than they will gain Shake them
off, and let them go. Such is Wing .friendship,-
Such the confidence to be placed in their leaders
True, the South may confde in them; but wo to
the Natives, or any other party, out of which they
cannot make wing capital. Will not all honest
men see, and avoid all connection with such par
ty, sold to do evil
Is it true. "that Polk is in the White House and
Clay at Ashland in consequence otthe move made
by the Natives" then surely the Liberty votes did
not place them there. What say you MIR Trbune3
Are the Natives guilty, or not guilty? Shall we
believe you, or shall we not believe you? fyou
now state the truth, and your own allies have
ruined you, what shall think Of all your efforts
to fasen the crime upon the Liberty party, and to
excite hatred against them' Did you say and do
all this ignorantly, without prejudice or malice,
then you should make honorable amends, and do
50 no more. And all honest men should remem-
her, that even the Tribune is not an lnialibe ora
Gle. Now ask men of all parties to remember,
that the wings of New York at their great rally
have publicly declared, that Polk is in the White
House and Clay at Ashland by effects produced by

EARLY PoTAToEs.-The potato may be bro't
forward some weeks earlier in the season, simply
by putting the seed where it will sprout before
planting, If stratum of horse manure (unfer-
mented) be placed in some sunny and unshelter-
ed position-say from three to five inches deep
and quantity of fine garden mould thrown
over it, potatoes, deposited beneath the surface
of the latter, will soon vegetate and be ready for
planting from two to four weeks sooner than
those in the bin,-Chltiuator.
TURNIPs.-Set apart from quarter to half an
acre of good strong land for ruta-baga and other
roots If you have fat spot in your old pasture
grounds, or lap of new soil, throw fence a.
round it, and plant it in roots, If you can yard
your sheep thereon for few weeks previous to
ploughlng, you will find its productive powers
greatly increased,
