Some odd genius gives the following ad-

that which is earned by others:

THE BLESSINGS OF AN OLD AGE.


The venerable Josiah Quincy, senior,
ex-President of Harvard University, hav-
ing been toasted at the alumni dinner,
made an excellent speech, from which
the following is an extract;
''On every occasion, whether in pub
lie or private, an old man was sure to be
reminded of his years. Why was this ?
Old age did not simply consists in length
of days; for, as the the President had
quoted,
Wisdom is gray hairs in man, Ito
And unspotted life is his old age.
fit arose from sympathy, there was
no ground for it; the sympathy was alb
solutely throwu away. So far as his ex-
perience reached, old age was the hap
piest period of life. And why not
Had we not then got rid of the nonsense
oflOve, Daughter, the folly of ambition,
the grumbling of envy, the decisions of
hope? He repeated that old age was
the happiest period of life, provided that
in youth and manhood the individual is
obedient to the laws of nature regulating
health and strength, and leads Iife Of
responsibility and usefulness. In order
to be happy and long-lived, it was i'm
portant that there should be harmony
between the beginning, the middle. and
the end of life, and especially between
the beginning and end. The young
man should cultivate and foster the quail
tiles which he sees to be respectable and
esteemed in the old /; and the old man,
on the other hand, should retain and
perpetuate the feelings and vivacity of
youth"
The ex-President closed with this sem
timent:
"The hoary hairs with which wisdom
crowns the young, and the unspotted
life which is the crown of every man Of
every period of existence. Much
cheering

And the cOnquerOr in his triumph, while before him

GIVE YouR CHILD DAPApER.


A child beginning to read, becomes
delighted with newspaper, because he
reads the names of things which are fa-
miliar and will progress accordingly.
A newspaper in one year is worth =
quarters schooling to child, and every
father must consider that substantial IN
formation connected with advancement.
The mother of a family being one Of the
heads, and having more immediate
charge of children. should herself be in
structed. A mind occupied. becomes
fortified against the ills of life, and is
braced for an emergency. Children
amused by reading or study, are ofcourse
more considerate and more easily gov

not spent twenty dollars for books for
their families, would have given hun

SPIRIT RAPPING.

The latest case of spiritual manifesto
tons is communicated to the New York Tri
bune by one s. G. Chandler. Mr.. Chandler
states that, having been directed by gentle
men of the Spiritual Telegraph office in New
York, he called at the office of man who
held what is called in their lingo "free day
circles" and had the spirits at his command.
Mr.. Chandler then relates the following won
derful manifestations:
story, In the centre of which stood table. ! was
told by Mr.. -, previous to the commencement
OF operations, that could ask questions audibiy,
mentally, or by writing. Mr.. - took his seat
held in their place by circular pieces of wood las.

table 10 such position as 10 form good shouder

lions. thought saw through this jueglery, and
refused to write; but proposed to ask questions
mentally. This Mr.. - refused, and said |

wished to get a communication. He still refused,
ADD ordered ma to leave. To that told him was
nvinced that the whole thing WAS a id humbug.
At that he sprang and jerked me from the chair

close to him, and to try the strength of the spirits
put the toe of my boot against the leg of 'he
bic. Upon this Mr.. - yelled out What do
you wish 10 obstruct the communications of the
spirits for you scamp and "rascsI," &c: and
with the rage of a tiger, he pounced upon me-
striking. kicking, and pushing me to the door Of
the room.
This is the clearest case of spirit-rappang
we ever heard of. If such striking nantes
tations of its truth failed to convince Mr..
Chandler, he deserved to be kicked for his
lncredulity

COTTON MANUFACTURE IN TIE SOUTH.

COTTON MANUFACTURE IN TIE SOUTH.
An able writer, in a Northern periodical
has taken up this subject, and shows very
oonclusively, that the Southern States ought
to become the manufacturers as well as pro
ducers of cotton for the world. From facts
furnished by this writer, it appears that the
cotton manufacture makes up nearly one
half of the external trade of the British King.
dom. The United States furnish four fifths
of the six hundred millions of pounds i'm
ported into Great Britain. The writer proves
by statistics and figures, that the British
manufacture r receives Eve times as much for
converting the cotton into cloth, as the farm
or for producing the raw material, and both
employ the same amount of capital. 1t ap
pears that the same disproportion exists be.
tween the profits of the Southern planter and
the Northern manufacturer. The writer then
sets forth the greater advantages possessed
by the Southern planter for manufacturing,
and shows that the mere saving in the trans
portation would 60 largely to the payment of
the manufacture. He urges that instead of
increasing the product, already too great, the
true Southern policy is to enter largely into
the manufacture, and thus withdraw por-
ton of the labor engaged in the production,
and employ it in the more profitable mode of
manufactures.

who resided near Fincastle, the Salem Re.
CUSTER states that it was oecasoned, in some
measure, by suit Messrs. Kent Paine x
Co. were about to bring against him, for a
DEBT OF $1,000. due them. We learn from
Messrs. Kent, Paine Co. that this state
ment is entirely erroneous. They held Mr..
Webb's obligation for a small amount, but
this obligation will net be due until October,
they therefore had not thought of taking any
steps to coerce is collection.

DIGNITY OF LABOR.

II we see two mer one on the top OF
high eminence, which he has reached py MS
own toll and perseverance,, and another oc-
cupying the same position, bat who was born
on the top, and never had the trouble OF
climbing upward single step. does it not
appear reasonable that the former is emit
tied to rank At least as high in the scale OF
manhood as the latter1 Has he not in fact
given better evidence of his inherent energy
He has shown in the face of the world that
though starting at the bottom, he can reach
the top by his own efforts the other may De
equally capable, but he has never in like
manner demonstrated his capacity.
But the judgment of society is entirely
different. 1t holds that the man who has
been the architect of his own fortune should
rank lower in the social scale than the man
who has inherited position. Nay, 1t man
tains that the self made man, who has climb
ed to the hill top by his own energy ana gu
terprise ia not as worthy of respect as Tue
man Who has upmade himself, and, TOO idie
TO stand erect upon his native hill top, IS roll,
ing in <proAigacy and improvidence to the
bottom. 1t never forgives a man VINO mas
been mechanic or laborer. Labor Is no'
respectable" and the discharged convict OF
a pepitentiary might as well expect, oy
long life of penitence and honesty, to wipe
out the stain of his old disgrace as inc nisn
who has soiled his hands with mechanical
emoloyment ever to elevate himself to the
rank of gentleman" in the opinion 0.
those who look upon labor as shameful ana
| degrading.
But this is not the worst of it. There are
| artisans and workmen who seem by their
own conduct to concede that they are an IN
ferior order of creatures, who make no EFFORT
for intellectual cultivation, who appear 10
have no sort of self-respect. Well, this may
be the fault of that public opinion wnich
brands labor as unworthy gentleman nu'
| they have the power to change that opinion
| and completely scourge such nonsense OUT OF
| society In order to do this, they must learn
to respect themselves, and lay the foundation
of that self respect in intellectual culture
There never was a notion more irrational
| than the idea that any honest calling de-
grades man. Yet, such a notion prevails
extensively even in republican America, not
withstandiDg all its democratic professions
and it will not only continue, but increase
| unless those who are most interested put it
down by their own efforts, not to ape the
manners and exclusiveness Of the upper
| ten. " but to be worthy by their own intelli
| gence and refinement of the upper place.
