In the table of agricultural produc.
pms the two items of flax and sor-
ium are very small in the amounts
oduced. The high price of South.
n sugar and syrup show that sor-
raising would be remunerative
op. The syrup can be made as
pod rs the best of Southern molas-
>, while the fact that good light
own sugar, without the acid taste,
n be made has been successfully
monstrated, farmers should give it
,ir attention. Flax raising did pay
FORMER years, but now that we have
home market, both for the seed and
'aw, it makes it one Of the most val
bic productions that can be raised.
In agricultural matters Hancock
unity compares favorably with 9th.
counties, while in manufactures it
greatly behind. More attention
build be paid to manufacturing.

From the EHoruflls Wig, 9th instant.
Those who are in sympathy with re-
turning Rebels are suddenly enamored
of the virtuesof repentance and pardon,
and no parable of the worlds history
has such attractions for them as the
parable ofthe Prodignl Son. They seem
never to weary in quoting this parable
us one eofunequalledb beauty and pathos.
IT IS interesting TO note the points OF
difference between the Prodigal Son
and our returning Rebels: -
First-The PrOdigal Son did not Sc
cede; hewent with his father's consent,
and as the Scriptures indicate, with his
blessing. Next, he rent; he did not stay
and vfllify the old man in his opM
house. He asked for something to starf
hlm in the world; he did not present a
pistol to the old mans breast and ieA
mand his greenbaeks and watch. EJI
received the portion his father gave him
ne,it ne Gia aSt 1's,s ltss,fs nqlpsiel1
he started out ''tO seek his fortune. n
He did not retire to the south side of the,
old mans farm, and join band of rObl
bers who were plundering tho old
man, and his law=abiding neighbors
receiving his portion, he quietly tool
hisjourney into II far country. FinallyI
ne repented of his folly, not becaustl
the old man 1CIipped him into re
Pentance, but because he "canle to him
self" and saw that he had wasted hit
substance in riotOus living, He wen
back home, not with murder in his
heart, boasting how many he hal
Killed, and d5threatening what he wouu
do, but he bowed down in honest COR
triton, and asked all sorts of pardon.
lie didn't return saying, 81 have fought
you four years, and until / was over
powered, but he went back crvint.
Father, have sinned against Heayei,
ana in thy sight, and am no moIe
worthy to be called thy son." and i'm
P!orlnglY said, make me as one of thy
hlred servants."h He went home, b,-
cause, throughout his entire course ri
riotous living, his heart 3CdS there. He
did not return demanding his "rights"
his property and back rents. He Cltl
not ask instant pardon upon the faith Of
an oath of amnesty, but proposed 10
ICOrk$. W -
The story of the Prodigal Son is one
of sincere, deep, heartfelt and UoIuntd-V
repentance for II great wrong. Do oSr
returning rebels come TepcntiHq of their
unparalleled crimes? As long as re-
De!lion showed any signs of success.
did they show any sign of repentance?
Are they coming back because they
!oYe the Union, or were about to ''per-
lsh with hunger?" All who return
Peaceably to their homes, cultivate
friendly relations, and abstain from
hostile acts, discountenanCing every at
tempt at disorder, should be met with
the same spirit and treated with Ie-
niency. When they manifest a hostile
spirit make them bite the dust.

TIME AND TIDE.

The following beautiful and pathetic
ballad is from Mr.. George MIcDonald's
recent book, Alec Forbes, of Howulen,
"a work characterized by the London
Spectator as SScotcli pastoral, without
ANY Ofthe foolish idealism of ordinary
,pastorals, but full of the broad SUNNY
