HuILING CoTToN SEED. The New
York correspondent of the Richmond
ENQUIRER makes in a recent letter
the following interesting statement;
One of the most important i'm
movements lately introduced, SO far
as cotton planters are concerned, is
thst for huNing cotton seed and the
manufacture Of oil from them, The
.hulled seed in New York sells readi-
ly at los cents per bushel. AT this
price twenty thousands bushels could
be sold tomorrow. The hullea seed
sells by weight of fifty-six pounds
to the bushel. The price of the oil
| is low at the present time, selling at
50 to 81 cents per gallon, according
to quality. The oil cake, or resld-
um of the seed, after pressure, sells
| Ifor the English market, at S27 pei
ton. The sale Of the oil, 1t is SAID
about pays the expense of crushing
the seed. 1t is said that it takes
about three bushels of hulled seed
making the cost Of the rough sect
about 34a cents per bushel. Thl
lis q low figure, and We do not SCI
how it can be made to pay.

EXCESSIVELY LITERARY.-How a
young lady endeavored to adapt her
Style of conversation to the charac-
ter of her guests is narrated in an u
hio paper. Tom Corwln and Tom
Ewing, being on a political tour
through the State. stopped at The
house of prominent politician at
night, but found DO one at home but
a young niece, who presided at the
supper table. She had never seen
great men, and supposed they we're
elephantine altogether, and all talk
ed in great language. "Mr. Ewing,
will YOU take condiments in your tea,
sir?'' inquired the young la6y. "Yes,
miss, If you please . replied the quop-
dam salt boiler. Corwin eyes twin
k!ed. Here was fun for him. Grat-
flied at the apparent success OF her
first trial at talking to big men, the
young lady addressed Mr.. CorWin IN
the same manner, "Will you take
condiments in your tea, sir? " "Pep-
per and salt but no mustard, was
the prompt reply Of tie facetious
Tom OF course, nature must out,
and Ewing and the entertainer roared
in spite of themselves. Corwin es.
saved to mend the matter, and was
voluble in anecdote, and wit and COM
pliment. The young lady to this
day declares that Tom Corwin is a
coarse, vulgar, disagreeable man.

Patience with Children.

One Of the great prerequisites ior
the successful training of children at
home or in the school-room is Pa
tieuce.' Every teacher, whether
the mother or iireling, viii find
her labors made easy by the exercise
of this cardinal virtue. If they let
patience have its perfect work in
their own hearts, it will be visible in
all their conduct, and exert salutary
Influence upon the minds OF the young.
in whose future well-beipg they feel
a deep interest.
There may be hours when, per,
plexed with care and worn out with
undue labor, the mother may feel the
rising of impatience in her heart; but
let her not give way 20 this baneful
emotion, but nip it in the bud before
the fruits become visible in acts
which she may afterwards bitterly
repent. Let no unkind word or
hasty blow be given in anger, lest
the rc cmembrance Of it should prove
a poisonous arrow TO their bleeding
heart, when those loving eyes are
closed in death, and the head which
nestles on ber bosom is pillowed IN
the grave. Children are won by
kind words; but cross looks and
harsh tones deter them from seeking
our sympathy, or giving Us then ,l
confidence. The mother and teach.
er should regard the sports o.
childhood as blessing, join in thel'
innocent amusement, and draw from
thence some useful lesson for then
future consideration. They shoule
learn to look up to her as a ta-ient
in whom they can confde, who wal
bear patiently all their childish follle
and in kindness seek TO improy'
whatever may be amiss in their man
ners or morals.
But should they torn a deaf ear t
to her teachings, and scorn her II
s,ructions, seeming inclined to folio
the evil promptings Of a sinful an
.neryerse heart, she has then need
a double portion of patience to SUI
= tb;s great trial, and el
able her at last to overcome e'
with good and bring them by u
sorce Of precept and example

KIND HEARTS,

And care not for the face;

Pride, dignity, or grace, )
LIE. the mind be filled with glowing thoush'
And the soul with sympathy,
And / care not if the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brilliancy.
What though the cheek lie beautiful
It soon must lose its bloom:
The eyes bright lustre soon Will fade
In the dark and silent tomb;
But the glory of the mind will live
Though the joyous life depart,
And the magic charm can never die
Ola true and noble heart.
The lips that utter gentle words
Have beautyxktheir own,
And more l prize kindly voice
Than music's sweetest tone;
And though its sounds are harsh or shriii,
If the heart within beats free.
And echoes back each glad impulse,
