TIE WAY TO AVOID CALUMNY.-
"lf any one speaks i'll of thce," said
Epictctus, ''consider whether he hath

was told that the very boys laughed
at his singing, "Ah,'' said llc, "then

being told that lie had many enemies
who spoke i'll of him, said: 1t is no

believe them" Hearing at another
time, that an intimate friend of his
had spoken detractingly .ofhim. he
said : 81 asi sure l,e'woula not do it,

cr is sclf-adjusting, accommodating
itself to uneven ground, and to the
direction tho Cultiyator may be gli-
ded.
The application of sclf-adjusting
plows,' to this Cultlvator, is so novel,
that it has excited te surprise and
admiration of all who have scea or
used it. All farmers are aware that
if the common plow strike an unseen
obstacle, such as root or rock, tie
obstacle must either give way or tile
team be brought suddenly to a stand,
or the plow Or harness or both must
break !; and the trouble and expense
accruing from such accidents, are inl=
port&nt considerations: In Staford's
Cultivator this objection is entirely
overcome. The shanks to which the
plows arc attached are pivotcd 70 the
frame work, and to the front shank
is attached chain, which goes for
ward and. passes around a pulley
and then back to the rear shank, the
point of the plows being back Of a
perpendicular line from whero the
shanks are wyotcd to the frame. Now
when the frcnt plow strikes an OBJ
struction, it raises itself until it clears
the obstruction, while the rear plow,
remaining in the ground, ht..:Ass !. = Il
its place again. The rear plow op:
crates in the same manner, except
that the front plow remains in the
ground aud brings it to its place i'm
aeedsatclv. :.
Throwing the plows out of the
ground, is done by means of a joint
in frame in front of the aXletrec.-
The driver, by rising partially fro'a
his scat, and throwing his weight on
the front of the frame work, causes
the joint to 20 down, ard raises the
rear plow entirely eut Of the ground,
while the front plowS fall back under
the axlctrcc. The plows should al
ways be thrown cut before turning
round.
The rlows arc made of the best
cast steel, Of an oblong shape, and
can readily be so arranged as to
make wide or marrow furrow, orso'
rs to throw tile sol 40 Or from the corn.
The depth is easily gaugcd by length

sEzF1snNEss.-It is said sel&s6-
ness has no soul; that it is a heart ,pf
stone encascd in iron: Though THE
spirit of se1fshness aims to- grasp at,
there is, in reality, nothing. So self
sacrificing. It robs its own grave,
mortgages its own bones, and sells
it's own soul. The man whois all for
himself, is better to himself than .
suicide, He perils all the future for
a present qualification; he borrows
pleasure at an exhorbitant rate, 6
usury, and pays by the immolation Of
himself, body and soul. Having no
eyes to see the miseries of the world,
no ear for the wailings of the, wretch
ed, no heart for sympathizing with
distress, he turns away from all, and
seeks to enjoy himself alone. BE
imagines that his own good will be
promoted precisely in proposition as
he can .detract or take from the gener-
al good of society. He concludes
thatindividual and social benefits are
mutually antasonistical. His mis-
takes make him sick to acquire with
out imparting. The consequence il,
his whole mind becomes eventually
narrowed down to the little circle of
self, wherein he alone revolves as
subject, attribute and object. and
he is virtually cut off from association
with his fellow creatures almost
with his God. He is self:sacri6ced.

Since Or cotton is heavily taxed,

not taxed? As | have said before,
the best and wiscst protect OF which
VIC can have against high tariffs and
high taxes on our cotton, is to ~ ,!a.ainll-

consume.
