MONEY.

!. 49, The desire to be rich is not evil of ITSELF
>s,s- It is nonsense for man to stand up and dis
s-S claim the desire for wealth, and urge upon us
the idea that we should be poor. Money is
neither evil Lor good OF itself it has no
moral character. 1t is simply an agent, and
whether it be good or evil depends upon the
v manner in which it is used. 1t is like a
rp zsgord. Whether sword be in the hands of
Benedict Arnold, bathed in his country s
sfoof, or in the hands of a Washington, wield-
ed for Justice and liberty, it is a sword only,
Z, and has not character. Whether it be an
instrument for good or evil, depends on the
character of him who holds the hilt, and not
% tie sword ITSELF So it is with money It is
= an agent; it is a gigansic motive power that
s.s thunders aronnd the world. II tine devil
stands engineer it thunders on, freighted
with untold mischief, scattering oppressfoht
cruelty and wrong. But if it is guided by
s fhe spirit of love and truth, it is like the sun,
shedding light on the world. 1t is an angel
Of mercy and love when directed by the spir-
Is Of Christ

Comforts for Cows.

Now that the cold season is setting in. let
the COWS, especially the milk givers, have alf
Ecedfdl atteftioh. They should be well .hon$
ed and well fed. The stables should be just
moderately warm, well ventilated, clean, and
provided with suitable bedding. Aside from
the mere matter of food and drink, the ami
mails should be kept comfortable! This matt 3
can hardly be over-estimated.
Then, as to fodder part of this, of course,
should be straw and hay and corn stalks but
to expect cows to give much milk on sGt.,
lean fare, is folly. Favor them with messes
of chopped roots, of cut straw, or stalks MIX
ed with meal Of some kind. A favorite 'mcss'
for cattle, with q friend of ours is this Cut
up hay or straw, or stalks, in pieces not mors
than an inch, or inch and half long, put the
provendcr in a tub or tight box, and pour
boiling water upon it then sprinkle on lit
tie salt, and cover the steam ip. When cold,
feed it in messes of a bushel at time Good
as this is, it should be changed occasion lIly. as
culture require variety as well as men
Cows should be salted two or three times u
week IN mild weather. they shonid range b,
day in commodious yard, protected on two
sides, at least, by covered sheds. And this
yard should have pen-stock of running wa-
ter, or trough kept full from good pump,
the first is the best. .

The New England Gait Disease.

The cattle disease WHICH created so much
alarm and anxiety in portions of Massachu-
setlS the latter part of last winter, appears to
have ef'flrely disappeared even in the infected
districts. The Boston Traveller says tfisf
when the disease ceased its ravages early IL
the summer, many predicted that it would re-.
appear in August and Septemibet, With tie
coming of cold rights and cold rains This
WIS predicted with the more confidence as
that his been the experience with the disease
in Holland. But August and September
have come and gone, and we are now in the
last days of October, but with the fearful
anxiety of the cattle raisers of the State, not
one case of the disease has come to light-fiot
One symptom has been discovered. The opinion
begins to prevail either thai there was an I'M.
necessary alarm upon the subject, or that by
the thorough manner in which the Commis-
5ioners acted, the disease has been externiDat
ted, cut up. root and branch. 1t is yet foos9
early to be fully assured upon this point, Sue
there is reason to hope that the
ireadTnl calamity has been avoided.-Cleps-

LOOKING BACKWARD.

It is melancholy business, as Time rows
as one way and we look the other, to see no
sunshine sparkling on the wake of our life boat
~ Better to navigate Iethe than to be haunted
with dismal recollectons. But on the other
= and brighter hand, what pleasant thing it is,
as we near the Green Harbor, to look astern
{ upon shining course. To contemplate, in
the rearward distance, through which we float
ed buoyantly and swiftly in the summer-tide
Of life, the light of our good deeds still lnger-
ing like moonlight on the sea to sit, as it
were, in the serene and mellow twilight of Age,
and review through the telescope of memory,
the thousand isles" of Hopes green archipeIa-
go, and the scenes of esrly friendship, and
G early loves, which are even now cheering with
their matured blessings our peaceful decline.-
- There is no book more pleasant to read than
the records of a well-spent past no sermons
more consoling tina those preached from its
soulcheering texts.

In a Fine CONDITION to secea8.

; Our readers have already been apprised tha
while the West is rejoicing in abundant crop;
blight and mlldew have struck the harvests
of the South. Tfie extent of the dcarth il
the latter section can best be inferred from
the following intelligence direct from the cen
/ ters of Dsunion and Slavery propagandism
The WoodviIIe, (M ississippi) Gazette says
''The reports that we hear Of the Situation
of some families in the northeast portions b
our county are utterly distressing. Some
thing should be done for their relief immcdi
ately. We shall publish call for a meeting
in our next issue"
A correspondent of the Rochester onion, n
Democratic paper, writing from ST. Angus
tine, ForidR,' under date of October 18th
says:
The past summer has been noted as the
hottest and drycst in many years. Ncverthe-
less the Mercury Vas at no time above "a de-

in the Southern States generally, and Florida
has not escaped the prevalent droulh. This
part of the State is not famous for the abund-
ance Of its productions, even in the most fa-
vorable bears and now the yield is small
enough BetSieer' tie ST. Johns River and
the Atlantic lies belt of sandy pine land
I50 miles long and 20 wide. which can be
made fertile only by the most liberal applica-
tion of manure. The climate which permits
crops to be planted cultivated, and maIured
in every month Of the year, is indeed favora-
BILE, but there are many drawbacks unknown,
or very partially experienced at the. North
Among these are burning sun, Which abso-
lutely scorches tender vegetables; insects in
incredible numbcrs-somc of them destructive
to crops, others tormcnting to the inhabitants,
especially to those who have recently come
from the Northern States vermin in num-
bers defying all attempts st e2terniinationi,
which destroy garden and farm products,
poultry, &C.; and last, though not least, an
entire destituton OF good implements and
teams, the horses, oxen, mules, plows, &c. i'll

efficiefit hesbantlry: In short while too
much can hardly be said in favor of the salu-
brity of the country and its beneficial intiu-
ence upon invails, its agricultural character

sing kind Nearly all the corn used here is
from the North. All the -four, hay and

INVESTING MAWEY

Thousands upon thousands of farmers and
others who have been struggling for years,
perhaps, to acquire the means to pay their
debts, are now able to say for once that they
are free. The abundant crops have done a
wonderful work of relief in an untold num-
Der of cases. Providence is smiling upon the
nation-upon tie free States particularly, as
never before. Our growth and development
of wealth and prosperity will be great beyond
precedent. What is to be done with all the
money-with the accumulating millions now
flowing into the pockets of the people? This
is an important question. We have some
opinions on the subject which we should like
to express, and they will be in answer to the
question-"W What shall do with my money!"
Invest money in helping those in business
who are less fortunate than yourself-not neg
iecting, of course, to ask for ample security.
Invest money permanently, by direct don.-
ton for any desirable Improvements in your
town.
Invest money in making yourself and fami-
ly comfortable in your own home.
Invest money in developing and improving
your farm SO that it shall be model to all
your neighbors.
Invest money in educating your children,
for such investments will pay larger dividend
than can be counted by figures.
Invest money in securing for yourself and
yours the cultivation and refinement of every
endowment with which you are favored.
invest money in making yourself acquainted
with your own country and its institutions.
Invest moaey in visiting other lands, and,
if your means will permit, you may go to
1.-The ends of the EARTH"
Invest money i'll seeking out and rendering
aid to objects of charity both at home and
abroad.
Invest money in liberal measure to the poor
and in re@arding lfbera4l5 all who are EN-
ployed by you, or are dependent upon you.
Invest money in reforming the politics of
your country, and, if your purse holds out, in
vest little in reforming politicians.
Invest money in any way that will bring
you heart revenue, for such riches are worth
more than gold or precious stones.
Invest money libefally, and never tire, to'I
make comfortable and happy ;your parents,
brothers, sisters, and all relatives for the
promise is sure, better than the Rothschds
that your dividend shall be "hundred fold
After you have determined your duty in re-
gard to the foregoing, and your duty will vary
according to circumstances, you may perhaps
have surplus money-if SO, invest that on
bond and mortgage, or in good, sound, spe-
cie-paying, well-known, we-offeered, we'll
managed bank-the stock of which has a
quotable market value. This all done, go to
work again, earn more money and invest as
before. Work on, work ever, work as
Christians sfaa' invest for eternity. Independ-
e1ls.

1ashod with their own whips

The secessionists are about to realize that
they alone are to be the sufferers from the ex-
citement they have created. This secession
buster does not in the slightest harm the
North. unless it may be that the commerce of
our large cities experience slight temporary
embarrassment. But southern capitalists find
confidence giving way, and with it their tinan-
cial props. a Washington letter says "the
banks of South Carolina must suspend soon
under the dema Ids already made upon
Them for specie by the return of their notes
from all quarters On Saturday they were re-
fused in Baltimore for railroad fare, and the
discount on them is daily Increasing. A mon
ey pressure is spreading through the south nn-
der fire defensive restrictions of the banks, and
negroes have fallen 80 per cent. in value since
this revolutionary scheme began" A none
tary revulson in the south would prove the
most potent re medy for attempted secession.
1t would be worth dozen federal proclana-
tions against disuniOs.
