value of the lowest grade found, and the
difference reclaimed. Nor is this all.
for reclamations are sometimes insisted
on, even when the purchase has been
made by a sample Of the lowest grade,
on the ground that mixed bales are un-
merchantablc. Thus the planter not
only loses the difference in price between
the lower and higher qualities, which
careless packing has mingled in the same
bale, but is called upon to pay that
difference again. And besides all this,
when the Irregular packing is once dis
covered, as it necessarily must be some
where and at some time, it throws dis
credit upon the planters crop generally,
and thus operates to his disadvantage.
1t sometimes happens that the dis
covery is made here, before sale, by
drawing samples from different parts of
a bale. When this is the case, the fac
tor can seldom obtain more than the
market value of the lowest sample Tho
evil which We have here depicted, and
which is not only attended with direct
loss to the planter, but is also produc-
tive of many vexatious controversies, is
venal in its character, and only repre-
hensible for the confusion it introduces
into most important branch of trade,
and one that can only be conducted with
facility and economy upon the basis Of
good faith in the honesty and integrity
of the planter. These virtues being ac-
corded to him, he owes it to himself, to
his factor, and to his purchaser, to ex-
ercise moro care and vigilance over
those who have his interest in charge.

Woman at Homo.

Heaven did not intend women to be
inmates Of boarding houses. They are
out Of their clement in all such abiding
places.-There are cratic exceptions to
the general rule, but the true sphere Of
a really womanly woman is her own
home-her true mission, to make her
husband and her children happy. Her
heart moro than her head, marshals her
the way that she should 60. Her af-
fcctions; her wifely and motherly love,
instruct her intellect, sharpen her per-
ccption, and give force, energy and pre-
cision to erplans and purposes. Such
woman prayeth not forher sex's rights
|-mourncth not over its wrongs. She
attempts no conventions, covets not the
double-barrelled garments, demands not
a seat OF the bench, post in the State,
Or a vote through the ballot-box.
CoLtcnt with the position assigned TO
all women by the Almighty at the crca-
ton, and which the prophets, patriarchs,
Iapostles, and the Saviour himself, have
ideclarcd to be the most meet and seem
Ily for the "weaker vessels" the good
wife never attempts to ovcrstep the linn
Its Of her appropriate sphere, but makes
THAT sphere charmed circle, within
which the husband and father is disbur-
loucd Of his business cares, and enjoys
fullncss of placid happiness, which the
outside world can neither give ner take
awav. Fortunate is he who hath such
f woman to wife; for she shall not only
smooth .ho roughness of his earthly
tourney, but lead him gently by the
2, lhand towards Heaven.

Mired Cotton-We have, on former
occasions, called the attention Of plant
ers to the existence of an evil which
loudly calls for remedy. We refer to
the culpable negligence of many whose
duty it is to attend to the packing of
cotton, as shown by the frequent discov-
cry Of mixed bales, viz: bales that are
found to contain two, three, or more
qualities and colors. This negligence
Isoftcn leads to vexatious reclamations
and sometimes to expensive lawsuits, a;
it generally happens that the discovery
is not made until the cotton has reach
/ ed the hands of the manufacturer, at /;
distant market. Then, if any portion o.
the bale is found to be inferior in quail
ity to the sample by which it was pur
chascd, the whole bale is reduced to th'
