fiin SKxArHxn ANp csors,

within The last few days we hare had quite
a spell Of clo,dy weather and rain, aud IN so,nc
portions of tho District hail. The prosrcc, for
an abundant wheat crop we learn, Ia hnc, and
should The rust not take, tho yield will be largely
over nn average. wo trust the expectations of
the farmer may be realised 10 the fullest extent
aud that the grancries throughout the land, mny
overflow with abundance. Although us yet,
there has been scarcity Of grain In this Section
wo learn, that in portions of North Carolina,
Georgia aud Tennessee, thero is very great dcs.
tituton, and that the poor, in some instances arc
actually dying from want Of food. III lands 10
capable of producing large crops of wheat aud
corn, what can DC the cause of 80 great scarcity
Of the staff of life? Is it a fact that the con-
sunlcrs are outnumbcring the producers. or has
the surplus grain been shipped to foreign mar
kets? This may be the cuuse TO some eXtcnt,
but rather incline to tho belief that il is ow-
ing to other cnuses-namcly, tho mania that
prevails in the Southern States of producing cot
ton at the expense of other crops. This thirst
for raising cotton has weilnigh ruined our coun-
try-in whatsoever direction we travel, dilapida-
ted farms and WORKOUT fields arrest the attention
1t is melancholy to see many broad acres thus
reduced to barrenness by the wretched policy of
planting successive crops of cotton until the soil,
oyertasked. refuses to yield compensation for
the labor Of tilling it. Cotton, cotton is the
theme Of old and young, and men seem to pro-
ceed upon the principle that cotton will supply
all wants. A country is always prosperous in
proportion to the abundance of grain it produces,
and if our farmers would consider this fact and
act upon it, then we should not be dependent OIL
other sections or States for fat hogs and fine hor-
ses. The enormous prices provisions Of ull kinds
are rating at, surely ought to induce people
to change their plans. We have a country ca
pable of producing everything of the kind in
abundance and yet this cotton mania, VIC repeat,
causes continual demund, even in many nstan,
ces, among farmers themselves, of these very Or
ticles Of food they should produce for sale.

Prssentatiom-Among the many reports of

load the papers, we have never found one more
worthy of being recorded than the follow ing,
which we take from the New York Times, Of
Saturday last:
THE Street Sweepers' Presentation-One of the

with thanks; his generous heart was touched,
too, and he unhesitatingly pulled out five cent
piece, and rewarded her: Yesterday morning, as
tile gentleman crossed the same crossing, he was
surrounded by swarm of ragged girls, one of
whom, with many courtesies, proceeded to be
stow upon him a handsome leather medal, strung
on rope.yarn, and inscribed on ono side with
tho facts Of the and the circumstances of the
presentation. Our generous friend shook them
off as best he could, not, however till a crowd of
people who knew him, and who had hand in
purchasing and preparing the graceful token,
had for some minutes enjoyed his annoyance.

AN ARTFUL MIsER.

Some time ago, gentleman called upon
certain nobleman, very wealthy and inordi-
nately mean character, and found him at the
breakfast table, quite alone, and doing his ut
most to catch fly which was buzzing about
the room. "What the duce are you about?''
demanded the astonished visitor, to whom the
spectacle of an old man amusing himself by
catching flies seemed very singular to saw the
least. "Hush!'' exclaimed the other, .I'll tell
you presently" After many efforts, the old
fellow at last succeeded in entrapping the fiy.
Taking the insect carefully between his thumb
and fore6nger, he put it into tn. sugar-bowl,
and quickly dropped the lid over his prisoner.
His visitor, more annoyed than ever, knowing
aShe did the avaricious character Of the man
before him, repeated the question. s.Ill tell
you," replied the miser, triumphant grin
overspreading his countenance as he spoke.-
s'I want to ascertain if the servants steal the
sugar."

ALEXANDER vow HUMBOLDT.

In letter of Bayard Taylor, dated at Ber
lin, the 25th of November, the traveller gives
an account of his interview with Baron Hum
boIdt The following is description Of his
personal appearance:
As looked at the majestic old man, the line
of Tennyson describing Wellington, cane into
my mind: sob, good gray head, which all men
know" The first impression made by Hum
boldt's face is that of broad and genial hu-
manly. His massive brow, heavy with the
gathered wisdom of nearly century, bends
forward and cverhangs his breast, like ripe
ear of corn, but as you look below it, pair
of clear blue eyes, almost as bright and steady
as child s. meet your own. In those eyesyou
read that trust in man. that immortal youth Of
the heart, which make the SHOWS Of eighty
seven winters lie so lightly upon his head
You trust him utterly at the first glance, and
you feel that he will trust you il you are wor-
thy of it. had approached him with nat
ural feeling of reverence, but in five minutes
found that loved him, and could talk with
him as freely as with friend Of my own age.
His nose, mouth and chin have the heavy Teu-
tonic character, whose genuine type always
expresses an honest simplicity and directness.

Of his face. knew that he had been frequent
ly indisposed during the present year, and had
been told that he was beginning to show the
marks of his extreme age; but should not
have suspected MIN Of being ever seventy-fve.
His wrinkles are few and small, and his skin
has a smoothness and delicacy rarely seen in
old men. HIS hair, although snow white, il
still abundant, his step slow but firm, and his
manner active almost to restlessness. He
sleeps but four hours out Of the twenty-four,
reads and replies to his daily rain Of letters.

interest in any part of the world, to escape his
attention. could not discover that his MEM
ory, the first mental faculty to show decay, is,
at all impaired. He talks rapidly, with the
greatest apparent ease, never hesitating for
word, whether in English or in German, and,
in fact, seemed to be UNCONSCIOUS whicl. Ian
guage he was using, as he changed five or six
times in the course Of the conversation. Hs
did not remain in his chair more than ten min
utes at time, frequently getting up and walk
ing about the room, now and then pointing to
picture or opening book to illustrate some
remark.

PRivArE PRAYER -"P Philosophy" said the
good and great Richard Watson, casks rea-
son for the Offering Of prayer, and, waiting for
an answer, never prays at all. Religion hears
that God will be inquired Of by all, thankfllly
bends the knee, toaches the golden sceptre,
and bears away the blessing" An apology
for prayer is neither needed or attempted here,
as we write for those who admit its adapta-
tion to mans utter dependency, and perhaps
who pray themselves. We ask no other rea-
son for calling upon the name Of the Lord than
the single command Of our great Prophet:-
sBut thou, when thou prayes,, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray
to thy Father which Is in secret; and thy Faith
er. which seeth in secret, shall reward thee
openly" This is our authority, our argu-
ment, for private prayer; sitting, as it does,
like jewel on the bosom Of that all-perfeel
book Of divinity, the Sermon on the Mount.
