Hints to Farmers and Planters.

We cut out for publication, some weeks since,
an article recommending to all farmers and plan
tors the making of cotton colnfortables for he
grocs, instead Of purchasing for them blankets
We do not remember whether the article has
been published or not, or whether 1t can now be
found bv our printers. 1t was our intention to
call the notice OF our readers to the article then,
but omitted to do so. We We're struck with the
good scnse and economy of the advice. The
cold weather for some days past, has brought it
to uur mind.
Ii, instead of purchasing blankets, our farmers
and planters would make thick cotton comtorta-
bles for their negroes, it would not only be much
cheaper but much more comfortable for the NJ
gro The consumption Of cotton, in making this
article for general Use throughout the Southern
States. would he enormous. This would open
new demand for cotton. But we would not
continc the Use of the cotton comtortablcS to the
slaves but extend it to the masters, too, and en-
cludc altogether and entirely the Use OF blankets
4 comfortable is much warmer ard better than
a blanket, and will last longer. Some years since
we purchased parcel Of them i'll Charleston, not
for our servants, but for the use OF the house.
They were made however, at the North, where
our buckets, broolns, and axe heycs are made, or
were made few years since. We, therefore,
speak from experience when we say that they
are not only cheaper, but will wear longer and
much warmer They can be made by any one,
who can make bed quilt, and even by those
who cannot stitch neat enough for a quilt. The
negro women, themselves, can make them on eve
ry farm and plantation, of nights and bad wealth

What saving this would be to the Southern
States. How much annually, is carried out of
South Carolina for the purpose OF purchasing
blankets? 1t encourages, too home industry. and
more than that, home Independence. We should

THE SISTERS.
BY CHARLES SWAIN

BY CHARLES SWAIN.
"Sfsters-is the re name-re!atlon-
Nearer, dearer, upon earth!
Is there, through this broad creation,
Tie more sweet in human birth!
Yet how oft that link IS broken
AS Iife's selfish path we roam:
Years have pass'd since we have spoken
Ws-who'd once one heart, one home!
"IfI wronged him twas in terror
Lest her life should be o'ercas;
If wronged him, twas an error
She might pardon now-at last
Three long years, nor yet once near me
She who with me nightly slept;
Oh, We blessed Angels hear me.
Hear me, We who've loved-and wept
"Angels that on earth, when living,
Had dear sisters by your side;
Teach mine opn how sweets forgving!
And how hard thing is prider'
AS she wept-'mid feelings holy
Wond'ring if they e'er should meet;
Some one entered, Slowly, slowly,
And sank humbly at her feet.
Saving-"for her sake who bore US,
Fed us at the same fond breast
Let Gods spirit now come DER us
And this angry spirit rest
Observation-Disclosures"
Upward sprang she with start,
Fell upon her neck and kissed her.
Lip to lip-and heart to heart!
Thus forgiven and forgiving
In each others arms they wept;
Oh, in holier regions living,
One had watch around them kept!
And they talked OF times departed;
OF their mother, what she'd said,
when together, br roken-hearted,
They had knelt beside her bed!
"Ah. could she have thought this, ever,
Thought that we for three long years,
We that loved so much, could sever,
She had died in tears-in tears.
Not in smiles like those she gave us,
Like seraph called to bliss
Let us pray that God will save us
From all future sin like this
And the sister unused in wonder
How a word, a little word,
Had the power two hearts to scvcr
Leaving truth for years unheard.
Long she pondered-but she knew not
Higher aid had lent its store:
That all ANGEL she could view not,
Led her to her sisters door?

= Visit TO The JaH-Have you ever been in
il reader! We don't mean shu, up there. but
have you ever had the curiosity to see how men
looked, who were fettered with heavy irons, and
shut out from all communication with the world
hearing occasionally through their grated
windows the noise and cIatter of the busy world
or, perhaps, the slceful shout of childhood
Prompted by such curiosity we visited our jaila
few days since. There are not many prisoners
there now, but most of them are ironed, and at
every step they take the chains clank harshly 1t
is indeed a melancholy sight, TO see men who
were formed for noble purposes, endowed with
nature ''little lower tan the angels" thus
tettercd with irons and confined within the mar
row walls of q prison. We saw number of
boys at the Jail when we were there; let them
remember that those men were once as they are
now, and let them rem, mber, that the first bad
word, or thought, or act, may lead them on to
the commission OF some crime that will place
them in prison and chains.

Tic Commissioners at IITorL.--The Town
Commissioners have passed an act prohibiting
hogs from running at large in the streets. With
GU, saying anything in regard to the right of
the town authorities TO pass such an act, we
will indulge the hope that while putting it in
execution, they will remember several other
nuisances. Unless they insist upon the cleans
ing OF the numerous sink holes about town, that
polute their neishborhoo1s with their horrible
stencil, the new act will do but little good. And.
when the hogs are penned-if ever they are
the pens will be found worse source olannov-
ance than the hogs at large.

was much gra.ified to behold the ev.-

among our citizens to drive ahead. We
have had a stirring season among our
Lumbermen. Our hotels have been
crowded to their utmost capacity for
some time past. Some new buildings
have been commenced within few
days; Mr.. Rinehart is having a dwelling
erected for himself, and Messrs. }. D..
Marshbank & Co., a new building along
side of their foundry, 100 feet by "a, to
be built of stone with iron roof. Messrs
Heckart & Moore are progressing with
their Saw Mil, and expect to have it
finished very shortly; SO you see that by
next fall our town will be considerably
enlarged and beautifed. You may ac-
count for our prosperity by the fact, that
we have adopted for our motto the words
of Daniel Webster, ave take no steps
backward" but intend to keep moving,
in spite of adverse circumstances.

expense is not increased. The principle upon
which my rod is constructed is in perfect ac-
