Good Advice.

The Norfork Doy Book gives the fol lowing excellent advice to our planting friends. By way of selfprotection, they should do two things;
 1. Let them diversity their productions let them blend farming with planting. In the place ofthe unwiso system which has heretofore obtained of planting all their available land in cotton, let them SOW an ample breadth in corn. In place of buy ing their meat, and bread and butter, and cheese, and stock from abroad-from the North and West-let them raise all these. They will not be so rich, perhaps, as by the one crop system, but the elements of substantial wealth will be theirs and their comforts will be vastly beyond those enjoy ed when all products except cotton are un- wisely disdained.
 9 In order to meet the tax with its true remedy, let every man in reach of water interest himself in local manufactures He will thus enlarge his own profits, in. crease population, and attract skilled labor to the South. When once this tide oi skill and money sets towards us, brought hither by the special attraction of cotton the flow will be strong and voluminous For the escape from the cost of transports ton and incidental charges both ways, on the raw material, and the manufactured goods, will enable us to undersell the fac tories of Lowell or Lawrence and there will always be demand in the South fol Southern fabrics greater than the supply Now these are not idle speculations and in genious themes. The facts. sustain them In all the cotton growing States factories are springing up like the men of Rhod erick Dhu, in the mountain pass. Georgia it is estimated, has seyenty-two, either ir actual operation or process of construction while there is movement among some oi the capitalists of Massachusetts herself in the direction we have indicated.

A Lock of Hair.

Few things in this weary world are so delightful as keepsakes. Nor do they eyer, to the heart at least. nor to our eye, lose their tender, their powerful charm. How slight, how small, how tiny memo rial saves beloved one from oblivion, worn on the finger or close to the heart, especially, if they be dead. No thought is so insupportable as that of entire, total, blank forgctfulness; when the creatures that once laughed, and sang, and wept to us, close to our side, or in our very arms, is as if her smile, her voice, her tears, her kisses had never been. She and them al swallowed up in the dark nothingness of the dust.
 Of all the keepsakes, memorials, relics, most dearly, most devotedly do we love a little lock of hair And, oh, when the head it beautifed has long mouldered in the dust how spiritual seems the undying glossiness of the sole remaining ringlet !! All else gone to nothing, save and except that soft, smooth, furnished and glorious fragment of the appareling that once hung in clouds and sunshine over an angels brow. Ay, lock of hair is far better than any picture it is part of the beloved ob- ject herself; it belonged to the tresses that often, long long ago, may have all been suddenly disheveled, like shower of sun beams, over your beating breast But how solemn thoughts sadden the beauty once so bright, so refulgent. The longer you gaze on it the more pensiye grows the expression of the holy relic; it seems to say, almost upbraidingly, "Weepest thou no more for me !" and then, indeed, tear, true to the imperishable affection in which all nature once seemed to rejoice, bears witness that the object towards which it yearned is no more forgotten; now that she has been dead for so many long weary days, months, years; that she was forgot ten during one hour of absence, that came like passing clouds between us an the sun shine of her living, her loving smiles.

A Specimen Of Irish Wit.

A son of the Emerald Isle, but not himself green, was taken up for he was at the time down) near Manassas Juno ton, by a scouting party He wore no special uniform of either army, but looked more like a spy than volun- teer, and on this ground was arrested.
 ''Who are you-what is your name, and where are you from were the first questions put to him by the armed par ty. Pat rubbed, his head, and answered
 Be gorry, gintlemen, this is ugly questions to answer, anyhow, and be- fore l answer any of them. I'd be,afthel axin ye, by we're lave, the same thing.
 We'll says the leader, we are oi Scott's army, and belong to Washing ton'
 All right said Pal, T knowed VIC was gintlemen, for am the same Long life to Giucral Scott
 'Ay, replied the scout, now, you rascal, you arc a prisoner, and he seized Pat by the shoulder.
 How is that, arc we not friends :? inquired Pat.
 No, was the answer. We belong to General Beauregard's army
 Then, yc told me lie, my boys, and thinkin' it might be so, told ye ano. ther. Now tell me the truth, and IT tell you the trnth, too
 fWcll. we belong to the State of Sontl Carolina.'

 Pat was taken to the camp, but as nothing could be made 10 appear against him, was discharged.
