Cotton Factories.

We learn from the Washington Dispatch
that a plan is on foot for the establishments
of a Cotton Factory in Washington. We
rejoice at this indication of remaining energy
and enterprise. We hope it will be projec-
ted on a liberal scale. By this means the
true independence of the South may be attain
ed, and by such means only. Talk about
" direct Importation and all that. 1t is only
exchanging the mastery over us from New
England to old Endgland-from the Yankees
to John Bull-each alike a deadly enemy to
the institutions of the South. No, no. We
must do our own manufacturing in the South.
| We have ta1ked about this long enough. The
time has come for US to act. In 1S49,
South Carolina declared that in ten wears
from that time she would "spin all her own
cotton" Well, the ten years have passed,
and she is still about as near to spinning her
own cotton as she was when the prediction
was made. The people of the South raise
the cotton, pay the freight on it to New York
or Liverpool, and then buy it manufactured
there and bring it back home at a heavy ex.
pense, to clothe the negroes in the same cot
ton fields where it was raised! Can such. 3
people talk of Independence ?"

For ever more I!

The S~pringtime Rainbow with its unriv-
allied tints drawn on the gold -fringed canvass
of cloud, pieases the eye for a moment and
then on the wings of the breeze foateth
away, leaving us to muse and wonder on its
faded loneliness. The blasting comets, whirl-
ing through their eccentric pathways, and
the countless starworlds like so many gems
studding the royal diadem of night, or more
like the self-moving, flashing 6re-ships of
God, are all placed beyond our eager grasp
and mock our feebleness to comprehend their
inapproachable glory. Bright human forms,
that we love as we do the mysteries of life,
walk with us a few springtimes through the
devious paths of Time, and then are taken
from our side at a breath, leaving the blessed
affections to crowd in dismal shadows about
the heart with all the agony of a smotherine
midnight of gloom. Why is this? Pilgrim
of earth, WI are born for a more exalted des.
tiny. There is a realm, and it is beyond the
clouds where the glorious tints of the rain
bow simmer celestial hills and plains for
ever; where the stars will be nearer anC
never set, but will glow in native lovelines:
before the unwearied gaze, like the blooming
isles of the sea slumbering on the feecy pill
low of the waves and where those we. low
now and that pass away like the meteor
may stay at our right hand forever!

Good Advice to Young Ladies.

Young ladies should take care not to sit
near the piano, for it is a well-known fact that
that instrument has caused more dreadful
colds than all the thin shoes in the world
The most beautiful creatures, they have no
sooner approached one of Chickering'S pianos,
than they have suddenly been seized with a
sore throat, and have lostin a minute the use
OF their voice. In courtship a lover should
be treated with the same gentleness as a new
glove. The young lady should pull him on
with the utmost tenderness at first, only ma
king the smallest advance at a time, till she
gradually gains upon him, and twists him ul-
timately around her little finger whereas the
young lady who is hasty and in too great a
hurry, will never get her lover to take her
hand, but be left with nothing but her wits at
her fingers ends.

Life Histories.

In all our daily walks in life we find those
who have lived for some, nurFase, and ara
engraving their mark in indelible
characters by every act that they perform,
and in everything they undertake. We say
that there are many such, and yet, compare
lively, how few. In other words, how many
are there who are living out their days with
scarce an object for which to labor, or an in
centive to urge them on. The record of
such a life we have before us. Told in the
simplest strain, it still has all the ~eloquence
that must render it effective, and it could not
fail to reach the heart of every reader
When we peruse such an epistle, we know
that the writer chronicles his own experience,
because such love is the very essence of
tears.
The imagination may paint, and the knowl-
edge acquired from books, or men, may die
tate, but deep down in the human heart
there is another monitor far more impressive,
and who ceaselessly writes with a pen of iron
what we shall henceforth never, never forget.
And thus what stores of knowledge are laid
up for our guidance in future years. How
many a throb of sorrow is imprisoned in those
| little cells, the doors of which, thrown open.
call forth a sob from the trembling strings
that rest within. How much that we would
recall, how many a t%houghtless act, how ma
ny a needless deed. Yet, the hours once
passed are gone forever, and the tears of
a life time can never wash those pencillings
away. AS we think upon the subject, the
words of the poet come forcibly upon US
Oh, find me a spell that can ever unbind
Ny mind from the dreams of the past;
And let me awake from my slumber and find
That it was but a dream, at the last.
Oh, ask me-. in mercy, aot what l have gained,
Think not of its value or sCst;
But turning away from the present attained,
Speak, speak of the loved and the lost!
Go search for that spell amid ocean caves,
For, ..fan many a gem they bear"
If that charm be hid meath the deep blue waves,
IT'S the ~costiiest relic there.
Go seek that spell amid mystical lore,
Retaining its charm to the last,
Fos.this can recall whste'er you deplore,
And again live over the past.

We were walking down our pleasant live

we were attracted by the conversation of two

walking before us:

We turned to look at the subject of their
colloquy he was q pale, slender boy, dressed
thinly and the tears stood in his eyes, ready
to fall, as he looked after his companions as
they passed on down the street. How we
longed to talk to the little fellow, to speak
words of comfort and encouragement to his
sad heart.
Only a drunkard's son! and yet, what
could bring mere disgrace and contempt on
