Southern ChiyaIry.

The caivaI'y Of the South is somewha,
growing apace, it is not only confirming
sitsel TO The vaIorous State of South Car
olina, but is spreading al! over tie South,
ern States. Almost every pa,,er we see
from those States bordering on the Gulf
4 OF Mexico, we notice rrcounis of duels
being foUghi in that legion. And we OBJ
serve ,ha' his ch!vslric spirit has taken
possession OF Tie Juvenile portion of the
population TT oar Town. Boys. who
some few Heeks since were seen intenIly
playing at marblrs-lo the great deiti-
Inent of their trousers in the vicinity Of
their knees, have thrown aside their every
best toy as being too puerile for their
manly ambition aud have Instituted in its
Stead the aboriginal instrument Of war
flre--ihe Bow and Arrow.
Almost every boy you meet on the
street now is armed to the teeth with
Il Bow and Ar1ow, shooting promiscuous-
lv-here, there and every where. Ger.
lainlv Southtrn chivalry is in The ascen-
dency, aud il his valiant spirit is propa,
gated We shall expect 10 see, ere long,
painting ambition, aspiring 10 military dig
niiv, and for every real or imaginary in
suit or injury, an immediate call 10 "'hc
field Of honor
The young ladies' too seem to gaze up
on these youthful sPortsmen with psrilc-
uiaJ interest, no donbt suggestive TO their
psrcepubic minds, those little white, wing
ed iG.sges-- those messengers of LoVe-of
which they read about liz books of ro-
nance and fancy. The girls had better
be carelul-fvr we nouce Cupid'S inolru-
men, in the hands of some large and pre-
possessing youths-lest they should re-
ceiye stray, swift arrow i'll their suscep-
tible hearts.
We think il essential, before closing
these remarks, 10 caution our young
friends against the great danger these
simple implements of sport are capable OF
doing. an eye can easily be put out by
one of these ihings ; and we know of ali
instance that occurred in this place some
time ago. in which a young lady lost all
eve by an arrow sprung from The Bow.
We no not disapprove of the boy lsh sport
but do no, let your "dander rs,' and in
the heat Of passion, FIRE away with rash,
ness al fellow sportsman you might
knock an eye out or injure him seriously
some o;her way. But be as chivalric as
YOU can, not quaTrelsome, for bear in
mind

Sugar-caDe.

The Chinese sugar-cane, about which
there has been 50 much written of late,
seems to be gaining the confidence OF
practical farmers in the Middle and Nor
thern States. We have read in the pa
pers, some interesting and valuable re.
ports of experiments made with ii last
summer.
Its thought tina, its chief value in our
tegion will be as food for cattle. Though
all kinds ofslock are said to eat /, in pre-
ference TO anything else.
We hope some Of our careful and judi
cious farmers will give i! trial this sea-
son and let Us hear the result A small
experiment will cost but little.

Something to Think of.

We have often thought that if subscrl-
bers TO newspaper, and especially to our
own. would for moment consider how
important il is 10 the publisher TO have his
subscriptions paid punctualIy, and with
out cost to him for collecting them, the
number W ho would neglect 20 comply with
the conditions of the paper would be We
~, very few. Also, very few there would
be, who, knowing that the commission
paid for collecting, eals up every cent of
The publishers profit on his paper, could
rest satisfied to deprive him, by their neg
iecl or delay in payment, Of his entire ear
nings. Their consciences would not al.
low II, neither would their friendly feel
ing toward the 7dbIisher. But many lit
tie think they are doing that very thing
year after year.
