It's What you Spend.

"Its what theeu spend, my sou, said
a sage old Quaker, "not what thee'l make
which will decide whether thee's to be rich
or not" The advice was trite, for it was
Franklin in another shape: "Take care
of the pennies, and the pounds will take
care of themselves" But it cannot be
too often repeated. Men are continually
iudulging in small expenses, saying to
themselves that it's only trife, yet for
getting that the aggregate is serious, that
even the sea-shorei is made up Of pettygrains
of sand. Ten cents day is even thirty
six dollars and half year, and that is
the interest of a capital of sx hundred
dollars. The man that saves ten cents a
day only, is so much richer that he who
does not, as if he owned life estate in a
house worth six hundred dollars. Every
sixteen years ten cents day becomes six
hundred dollars and, ifinvested quarterly
does not take half that time. But ten
cents day is child's play, some will eA-
claim. Well, then, John Jacob Astor used
to say, that when man, who wishes to be
rich, has saved ten thousand dollars, he
has won half the battle. Not that Astor
thought ten thousand much. But he knew
that, in making such sum, man acquired
habits of prudent economy, which would
constantly keep him advancing in wealth.
How many, however, spend ten thousand
in few years in extra expenses, and then
on looking back, can not tell, as they say,
"where the money went TO-" To save, Is
the golden rule to get rich: To squands,I,
even in small sums, is the first step towards
the poor crhouse.-ta.1adsRhio I"1ser.

The Ladies In Office.

Maine has taken the lead in the prac.
tical illustration of the Woman's Rights
doctrine, as she did in the Prohibitory Ii
quor Law movement. In the Eastern
District of the County Of Lincoln, Miss
Olive Rose has been elected Register Of
Deeds, by some 260 majority over one un.
fortunate Mr.. Sylvester. Olive was an
assistant Of the late register, and has no
doubt satisfied the public of her competency
and integrity, by the faithful discharge Of
her duties, though she has probably never
worn Bloomer dress, or made a speech
at Woman's Rights Convention. So if
her constituency are satisfied and the law
is not violated, the rest Of mankind, as
we'll as the rest Of womankind, have no
right to complain.
But there are some delicate questions
that may arise out Of this matter. Sup
pose this feminine Register of Deeds, with
the pretty name of Olive Bose, should
captivate some shrewd down-easter, either
by the the beauty Of her face, the charms
of her disposition, or the fees Of her Office;
and suppose Olive Rose should become
Olive Simpkins-nov who would be the
Register Of Deeds? Certainly not Olive
Simpkins; for she would be merged, with
all her rights, property, emoluments, fran
chises and fees, in her husband, jonathan
Simpkins. Then, would Jonathan be the
Register in right Of his wife, Olive! o.

SULPHUR FOR LICE ON CALVES, &C.
The September number Of the Stock Re-
gister quoting from the Genesee Farmer,
recommended sulphur fed to animals a.
death to all such vermin. l tried it on
some calves, so covered with lice that the
outer ends Of their hairs we're thick with
them. Tobacco and other remedies, had
but little effect. fed in salt and meal
giving spoonful to each calf about twice
a week. In two weeks not louise could
be found. A neighbor Who has often used
the same remedy, on all kinds of animals
with perfect success, assures me it should
be given in fair weather, or the animals
housed, else there is liability Of taking
cold and injury being done to the animals.

LILLY DALE.

Twas calm, Silly night,
And the moons pale light
Shone soft DER hill and vale,
When friends all mute with grief
Stood around the death bed
Of my poor, lost Lilly Dale I!
Lilly, dear Lilly. sweet Lilly Dale
Now the wild rose blossoms
Der the little green grave
Meath the trees in the flow'ry vale.
Her cheek. that once glowed
With the rose tint of health,
By the hand Of disease had turn d pale,
And the deaths damp dew
Was on the pure, white brow,
OF my poor, lost Lilly Dale.
Igo (she said)
TO the land Of rest.
And ere my strength shall fail
will tell you where,
Near my own loved home,
You must lay poor Lilly Dale.
Meath the chestnut tree,
Where the wild flowers grow,
And the stream ripples thro' the vale,
Where the birds warble sweetly
Their songs in praise,
There lay poor Lilly Dale!

others. The smooth surfaces are covered
by small fat images in burnt clay, and SET
in stucco. Of these last, there are literally
thousands. In some places, they have
fallen of, with the plaster in which they
were set, and left spots Of naked rock sgains:
which bees have built their hives undis.
turbed. Nowhere in the country have l
seen such display Of wealth, ingenuity,
and industry. But imposing as is this
spectacle, it shrinks to insigui6cance, CON-
pared to the scene which opens on enter
ing the cavern itself. 1t is of vast size,
chiefly in ono apartment, which needs no
human art to render it sublime The eye
is confused, and the heart appalled,, at
the prodigious exhibition ofinfatuation and
folly. Every where, on the floor, over
head, on the jutting points, and on the
stalactite festoons of the roof, are crowded
together images Of Gaudama-the offerings
ofsuccessive ages. Some are perfectly gilded
Others incrusted with calcareous matter !;
some fallen, yet sound; others mouldered; !;
others just erected. Some of these are Of
stupendous size; some not larger than ones
finger; and some Of all the intermediate sizes;
marble, stone, wood, brick, and clay. Some
even Of marble, are so time-worh, though
sheltered of course from changes Of tenn
perature, that the face and fingers are OBJ
liberated. In some dark recesses, bats
were heard, and seemed numerous, but
could not be seen. Here and there are
models Of temples, kyoungs, &c, some not
larger than half bushel, and some ten or
fifteen feet square, absolutely filed with
small idols, heaped promiscuously one upon
another. As we followed the paths which
wound among the groups Of figures and
models, every new aspect Of the cave pre-
sented new multitudes Of images. A ship
of five hundred tons could not carry away
the half of them.
Alas! where now are the successive
whose hands wrought these
wonders, and whose hearts con6ded in
these deccits? Where now are the mil
lions who came hither to confess their sins
to gods that cannot hear, and spread their
vain oblations to him that cannot save ?
The multitudes arc gone, but the super
stition remains. The people are left like
the gleanings Of the vintage, but the sway Of
the senselcss, hopeless system, is undimin-
ished. Fewer bow in these dark recesses,
but no better affairs witness holier devo-
'aUs.. na.y We mos nope great tnings from
the effect of full toleration secured by
the present rulers, and a full tide Of mission
ary effort set forward by American church.
cs? Thanks be to God that a Christian
nation rules these provinces, and Chris
ian community sends forth light and truth.
Happy and auspicious is the mental dawn
which now begins to break! May Chris
aims pray it into perfect day!

A West Tennessee paper, the editor OF
which we take to be Methodist, savagely
reviews Uncle Toms Cabin, denouncing it
as " fling at the Christian Religion in
general, and Southern Methodism in par
ticular," and as being designed "to sink
the social relations of the slave population
of the South, to level with the uncared
for and pennilcss whites Of the North"
In another column of the same paper, we
have the following hint Of the present hap

Advertising-ths Profit and the DUTY.
(Fro. F'sd7eys FfGesiea' 1'safise B.a.-4.]
The true merchant will be liberal out
discriminating supporter Of the press in
his locality. He will not feel an obliga-
tion to pasronize any and everything that
wears the form of a newspaper, but will
scan carefully the intellectual ability and
moral fitness Of those who assume the lofty
responsibility Of public teaching through
the press. He will not encourage the
dissemination nor continuance of journals
edited BY the incompe tent or unworthy;
but If there be none other than these al
ready in existence in his county, he will
combine with men like himself to procure
the establishment Of such journal as is
needed, or the transfer of one already exist
ing into the hands Of some one qualified
to guide opinion and dispel mental dark
ness Such journal he will literally
and steadily encourage and support by ad-
vertising in its columns at good prices, by
urging upon other business men the duty
of doing likewise, and by soliciting his
customers and neighbors to give it at least
their subscriptions, regularly continued and
uniformly paid in advance. By pursuing
this course, the merchant may do very
much toward the diffusion of intelligence,
the predominance of sound principles, and
the publication of morals. He need not
be political brawler nor hsbitual agitator
on any subjcct-there is more excellent
way. He may give to an approved and
influential journal in his county from two
to Eve hundred dollars worth of advertis-
ing per annum, and procure from others,
by the power of his solicitations and ex-
ample, five times as much more; while
each name added to the list of its subscri-
bers extends the publicity of bis announce
ments aud their potency in enlarging his
business. Thus will he exert q noiseless,
influence in diminishing the
of darkness, extending the sway
of virtue, and laying deep and broad the
foundations Of general and personal pros
pcrity. Greely's Prize Essay

LOUISVILLE, Sept. I, 1858.

Flour and Wheat Propects-A heavy spec
ulation has taken place in the flour and wheat
markets in consequence of the news brought
over by the Asia. Considerable advances have
taken place in the prices of those articles
Flour is now quoted in Richmond at Sc % to
Sc 50, and wheat at 81 80 to 81 50 justifying
81 Is to 81 20 in this market. But will prices
be higher? That is the question. 1t is one we
know of great practical interest to many farm
ers who still have their crops on hand. Shall we
sell or hold for higher rates? The breadstuffs
market is almost proverbially fckle-there are
so many slight causes which operate to raise OF
depresS it, that it is impossible, at this Juncture
safely to advise, further than may be done by a
reference 10 the adage: "a bird in the hand is
worth two in the BUSH"
If the Russo-Turkish question be not soon
amicably adjusted, and we have received no re-
liable assurance that it will be so adjusted,
wheat will in all probability go higher; but,
should it be so settled, and apprehensions of a
European war cease, the chances are that the
immense supplies of grain in the United States,
subject to meet the foreign demand, may pre-
vent spirit of extravagant speculation

From the Philadelphia INQUIRER.

THE HoN. JOHN BELL-We are pleased TO
Tennessee, that the Wings have majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature. This ensures a
Wing United States Senator at the coming cleo
ton. And if we may be permitted tic give adj
vice to the Representatives of that State we
would respectfully suggest the propriety of re-
eecting the Hon. John Bell. At this time the
Wings should send their most efficient and
long tried public servants to the Senate of the
United States. In the North the Wings have
very able men, and at the head of this list we
place the Hon. Edward Everett. In the South,
some of our most distinguished men have caca-
ted their seats. 1t is therefore, the more essen
tial that the Wings should have their truly gift
ted men returned to the Senate of the Republic.
Col. Bell is not only highly intellectual man, a
profound lawyer, sound and far-seeing states
man; but a most eloquent public speaker. He
has, thus far devoted his whole life to the ma
ton, and, having ample means and leisure, has
made himself intimately familiar with the vast
and divers flied interests of the country. lie is,
moreover ripe scholar aud accomplished gen.
tleman, whose wide spread reputation does not
belong entirely to Tennessee, but is highly ap-
preciated in all parts of the Republic. We re-
peat, our whole party would thank the Wing
members of the Legislature of Tennessee if
they would once more return Col. Bell to the
United States Senate

STOCKS OF COFFEE-PRICES, &c.-.HeSsrS
E,litors:-I Yesterdays Journal | notice an ar
tcle on the subject of Coffee, written, no doubt,
by some disinterested person who is greatly
concerned for the welfare of US lovers of the
beverage, and fearful lest we may have to pay
too much for it. He quotes from Trueman 4
Rouse's Circular of April lst, who predicted
that at the close of the season there would be a
great scarcity in the States, because the short
crop of Brazil would only admit of sending US
$4,000 bags, and Is cents would be the current
price.
Instead of this being the case, we find i'm
mense stocks in all importing cities. New Or
leans alone has some $4,000 bags against 25,-
600 last year, and very dull at 81 to &c; and car
Cos from Rio still coming in. We find that
his short crop year has sent to the United
States ,035,000 bags against 1874, 1878 last year;
and So ,6l6 the year before.
Messrs LeBreton & Co., of Rio, write on
July 9th that there are large quantities of the
old crop left in the hands of planters; and j..
Gardner, Jr., writes on July lst that the grow
ing crop will reach 38O,00O,000 pounds. This,
at l60 lbs. to the bag is 2.375,O0O bags; and
this they think rather a short crop, and yet this
is 40 per cent greater than the crop of 1913.
Fears are entertained that at no distant day
the product OI DrlZi VIII ldll SuOIC vi Inc uc-
mand because of the Introduction of the slave
trade; but as that has only been for little more
than year, and as it requires about ten years
for Coffee plantation to mature after it has
been planted, we must expect of course this
same ratio of increase to continue for nearly
ten years to come, and the increase TO continue
after that time, but its ratio to change, conform
ing to the natural increase of the slave popula
ton. Irecollect well when in 1850 similar eff
fort was made by the large importers of Coffee:
great scarcity was predicted, and prices actual
ly went up to Is cents for few days. A few
noodles were caught, and then prices went back
to about cents, think. Why there is now
nearly twice as much Coffee in New Orleans as
has been landed at Louisville for year; and
already the new crop is beginning to come in.
When the river rises, we will have glut of it.
Respectfully, MARAClBO.

An interesting case occurred before the Re
corder few days since: 4 pious looking mon
ster in green spectacles, Jed S. c. STERNE,
was charged with assault upon his wife. 1t ap-
peared from the evidence that one year ago, In
New Y ork, he advertised for wife in the Her
aid Among fifty applications for that respon,
sible position, he chose the present partner Of
his SORROWS 1t further appeared (well attes-
ted that his sole object was the most degrading
of all speculations- of her public prositu-
ton upon their arrival in the San Francisco
market. She Indignantly refused 10 obey his
daily horrid commands, and hence the recent
assault His excuse was that she had cost him
three thousand dollars, and he wished to recov-
err the amount The Recorder sent him to the
city prison for six months. The wife was a
beautiful woman, twenty years of age, and very
respectfully connected at home. SO here's one
