ASEGDoTE OF STEPHEN GIRARD. - Old Girard
had favorite clerk, and he always said /" he in
tended to do well by Ben Lippincott." So when
Ben got to be twenty one he expected to hear the
Governor say something of his future prospects,
and perhaps lend helping hand in starting him in
the world But the old fox carefully avoided the
subject. Ben mustered courage. " Isuppose
am free, sir, p said he, e and thought would say
something to You as to my course; what do you
think had better do?' Yes, yes, know you

that you go and learn the cooper's traden This
application of ice nearly roze Ben out, but recoy4
ering his equilibrium he said if Mr.. Girard was in
earnest he would do so. al am in earnest = and
Ben sought the best cooper in Spring Garden, be-
came an apprentice, and in due time could make
as good barrel as the best. He announced to
old Stephen that he had graduated, and was ready
to set up business. The old man seemed gratfied,
and Immediately ordered three of the best barrels
he could turn out. Ben did his prettiest, and
wheeled them up to the old mans countiagaroom.
Old Girard pronounced them irst-rate, and de-
manded the price. lone dollar" said Ben, il

The bill was made out, and old Steve settled it
with check for $4,000, which he accompanied
with this little moral to the story:
"There, take that. and invest in the best ERssi-
BILE manner and if you unfortunate, and lSse it,
you have good trade to fall back, upon, which
will afford you good liying.n

CATTLE AND COTTON.

A writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer undertakes
to show that the cattle CROP Of the United
States il worth more, annually, than the crop Of
cotton-and be complains that so much ID said
about cotton, and z the Cotton States,n and about
cotton being king, and all that, while nobody
makes any allusion to the great cattle crop OF
the country.
This writer evidently belongs to the Helper
school Of political economists Helper in his book,
endeavored to show that the hay crop Of the United
States was worth more than the cotton-and he
proved 1t 40 much to the satisfaction of Mr. Horace
Greeley, that that sublime philosopher has been
harping on the subject ever since. Say anything
to Horace about the value Of the South to the
Union in the respect Of her cotton, and he comes
back at yon with the hay crop Of the North in a
manner that is perfectly overwhelming.
Now, the great mistake that all these writers
make is this: The true wealth and resources of tho
country consist not in what is produced and con-
sumed, but in what can be spared for foreign mar
kets, after supporting ourselves This Is the view
Of the case which these modern political econom-
ists altogether overlook.
The South, after feeding and clothing herself,
sends off to foreign lands nearly two hundred mil
lions Of dollars worth Of produce every year-the
greater portion of which is cotton. In other words
the South adds to the permanent wealth Of the
country two hundred millions Of dollars annually
But what does the North export? Does she ex-
port cattle No. Does she export nay? No. She
exports comparatively nothing. Her cattle and
hay are consnmed in this country. She adds very
little, by EXPORTS to the permanent wealth of the
country.
The North supports herself but sends little of to
bring back money into the country. The South
supports herself, and besides that sends off pro
duce enough to bring back two hundred millions o.
dollars year. A planters prosperity is determi
ned by his nett profits not by what he raises anf
consumes on his own plantation. So is It Of o ma
| ton. Need there be any cause Of surprise, then
that cotton attracts the attention Of politicians
more than cattle and hay? We think not-and SO
will everybody else who win take a common.sense
view of the subject.
