What !, white BOY Can Do.

The Mariana (Fiorida) Courier says !:
"Liitleton Chambiiss, aged Sixte years, son
of Jas. II. Chambliss, Of this county. cul;i-
waited fifteen acres in corn and five acres in
cotlon has housed two hundred and seventy
two bushels Of corn, and picked for the gin
two ard half bales of cotton. With the
usual appliance II" crop Was made by him
solf. Corn at 81 so and cotton at % cents,
rather below than above market price, his
crop would yield seven hundred and seven
teen dollars and fifty cents. This boy has
shown an industry and application worthy of
all praise, and our Farmers Club, by its first
act after permanent organization, should pre-
sent him, an appropriate testimonial of the
appreciation @: the Club Tor his industry and
zeal. This Incident demonstrates that Florl-
da only needs laborers of the right sort to de:
yqIoD ber resources and show her lands equal
to any upland in the latitude
Commenting OH the above, the Macon TEL
eWaph says:
{" it developes another fact of great impor-
tancc, viz: that the hundreds OF thousands OF
young men and boys in the South who spend
their time in idlencss and arc tax upon so
cc.y, waiting for what they arc pleased to
term honorable emp oymcnt' in stores, count
ing rooms, ETC., could ifthey would but make
up their minds to go.to work in the most
honorable of all empoyments, make wealth
for themselves and build up their down-trod-
den country. !,
"The youth Of the South have been reared
with false notions of the duties of life, grow
ing, perhaps, ous of our now extinct institu-
ton of slavery. Negroes are an inferior race,
and the idea has obtained that any occupa'
ton in which they engage is unsuitcd to the
capacity and dignity ofthe sons of gentlemen
They must be educated to the learned protess'
sions in which not one in ten can succeed.
The consequence has been, and still is, that
the large body of our Southern young men
are now adrift in society producing nothing
and living on the labors of others.
" The times have changed, and the lesson
now to be learned is, that I'VE must change
with them We must abandon false notions
and false practices, look upon life as seri'
Gus reality, in which every member of socie-
ty must perform useful part"

uI Wish I Had. a Capitals,

So we heard great strapping young man
exclaim the other day. did want to tell
him piece of my mird so bad. But I'll
Just write to him. You want capital, do you ?
And suppose you had what you call capital? (?
Havn't you got hands and feet, and body and
muscle, and bone and brains; and don't you
call them capital? What more capital did
God give anybody? Oh but they are not
money, say you.-But they are more than
money, and nobody can take them from you.
Don't you know how to use them? If you
don't, it is time you was learning. Take hold
of the first plow, or hoe OF jackplane or
broad ak that you can find, and go to work.
Your capital will soon yield you large in
terest Aye, but there's the rub, you don't
want to work, you want money or credit that
you may play the gentleman and speculate
and end by playing the vagabond; or you
want plantation and negroes, that you may
hire an overseer to attend them, while you
run about over the country and dissipate and
get in debt; or want to marry some rich girl
who may be foolish enough to take you for
your fine clothes and good looks, that she
may support you.
Shame on you, young man! Go to work
with the capital you have, and you will soon
make interest enough upon it, and with it,
to give you as much money as you want, and
make ycu feel like man. If you can't make
money upon what capital you have, you
couldn't make it if you had million Of dol
lars in money. If you don't know how to
use bone and muscle, and brain you would
not know how to use gold. If you let your
capital you have lie idle and waste and rust
out, it would be the same thing if you had
gold; you would only know =, how to waste;
Then don't stand about like a great help,
less child, waiting for somebody to come in
and feed you, but go to work. Take the first
work you can find, no matter what it is, SO
that YOU be sure that You do it like Bill Gray
did bis drumming-well. Yes, whatever you
undertake, doit we'll always do your best. If
you manage the capital you have already,
you will soon have plenty more to manage;
but if you can't or won't manage the capital
God has given you, you vii! never I1T !;ave any
other to manage. Do you HEAR, young

Early Rising.

"Early to bed and early to rise, !" is an axiom
that has stood undisputed the test OF ages,
and who amongst our readers has not seen
the good effects resulting from this system |?
Yet. to make carly rising Of any value to the
health, it is required that we should also re-
tire early, for, without this accompaniment
"early rising" is worse than useless, and is
positively mischievous. Every person should
be allowed to 8" have his sleep out" otherwise
the duties of the day cannot be properly per
formed, and will be necessarily sighted, even
by the most conscientious.
The all young persons, to students, to the
sedertary and To insalids, the fullest sleep
that the system will take, without artificial
means, it is the balm Of life-without il there
can be no restoration to health and activity
again. Never wake up tie sick or-in6rm, or
young caiitll9nu ffr,s ,rsersisgs =. barssrj
ly; let them wake Of themselves; let the
care be rather 10 established an hour for
retiring SO early that their fullest sleep may
be out before sunrise
Another item Of very great Importance is,
do not hurry ND the young and tue weakly.
1t is no advantage to pull them out OF bed
as soon as heir eye: are open, nor Is 1t best
for the studlous or even for the we'll who
have passed m unusually fa,igaing day, to
lump ont Of bed the moment they wake up /;
let them remain without going 10 sleep again
until the sense Of WEAKNESS passes from their
limbs. Nature abhors two things, violence
and vacuum. The sun does not break out at
once into the glare of the meridian. The
diurna llowcrs unfold themselves by slow de-
srccs; nor the ileet,st beast, nor the spright'
icst bird, leaps at once from bis resting place,
b. all which we mean to say, that as no ply
s!olog;cal truth is more demonstrable, than
that as the brain, and with it ths whole rer.
vous system, is rccuperaed by sleep it is OF
the first Importance TO the well l-being OF the
human system, that it have It's fullest measure
of il; anl to that end, the habit of retiring
to bed early should be made imperative upon
all children. No ordinary event should be
allowed to Interfere with it.
We repeat it, there is neither wisdom, nor
safety, nor health, in carly rising, in itself;
but there is all of them in the persistence of
rctrin: to bed at an early hour. winter and
summer.

Nice State of Affairs at washin gton.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Ercning Transcript sends his paper
the following in reference to an agreeable
phase in affairs at the capital of the nation.
The recent action of the radical majority in
Congress will multiply the evil complainedof:
"For some time past, the conduct OF the
negroes who ride in the street cars of this
city has been of such nature, and caused so,
much annoyance to others having occasion to
use them, that the aforesaid portion of our
population have almost enjoyed monopoly
in the matter. Ladies have been compelled
to stand up for a long distance, while .burly
blacks. both male aud female, have satin
comfort beside them. This, cf course, is but
one of the legitimate fruits of that speciescf
legislation which now runs riot. An incident
occurred in one.of the cars, yesterday, which
tends to illustrate the poirtto which matters
have advanced. A lady entered a crowded
car at the same time witE negro woman.
A member Of Congress and an officer Of the
army. who were in company, Immediately
arose to give their seats to the lady, when The
,negress pushed ahead, and spreading out her
crinoine, occupied all the vacant space.
Upon the NJ. c. politely demonstrating with
her. and asking that the lady should 1t least
be permitted to have share of the seat, She
launched at him a volley of abuse, mingled
with oaths. Upon theconductor ejeccing her
from the car, she called a police officer and
ordered him to arrest the member of Con-
gress, upon the charge of stealing her watch
and purse. The case was heard before one o.!
the police justices, the fbcmber, and The cii :

The TorsY THEORY How C,sroR OIL IS
MADE.-As strange MS i; may appear many Of
the colorcd people here cherish the belief that
there is class of physicians who practice
"burking," and are addicted to the dissection
of live human subjects for the purpose of
manufacturing castor oil, and that for this
purpose the doctors prefer bodies with dark
cuticle. This opinion is SO firmly iinpre: sed
on their minds that 10 amount of reasoning
will remove it, and we know many of them,
particularly juvenile Africans, who will not
bulge foot outside their dwellings after
dark. An otherwise intelligent "Topsy,"
employed by us, describes the modus operandi
of these imaginary shoals by saying: "Dey
steal upon cullud persons uuawares, clap
plaster over dcir mo,f to keep um from ho!
lcrin', and den drag UNI away to whar dcy
lay um or table and cut UNI up, and den
bile UNI: down for ile,' This is q cheerful no
tion for those invalids who use the oil of tie
palma christa bean as cathartic. The An
napolis (Md.) Republican states that SINH
lar belief prevails among the coloyed people
in that section, ani it probably exists else
where. How it originated it is impossible to
tell.-Washington Star.

Drcn,n,7roy OF Az ITALIAN OFFICER

DEGRADATION OF AN ITALIAN OFFIcER.-A
painful ceremony took place on the Sd dinstant
in the court of the Casrlc at Milan. Sub
Lieutenant R. condemned fer breach of
trust TO five years Imprisonment, was de.
graded in presence of battalion of the Third
Regiment of Grenadiers and {. detachment
from each of the corps in garrison at Milan.
The troops were drawn up in a square, into
the centre of which r - was conducted BY an
armed escort. After reading the sentence,
the major commanding the battalion addressed
the troops as follows: "Soldiers, f" you see be-
fore you Giuseppe R, who, by his crime,
has rendered himself unworthy to belong to
the army and to wear that honorable uniform
he has, therefore, been stripped of it and
struck of the rolls with infamy. Let every
honest man avoid his company" The priso-
ncr was in plain clothes, had he been in uni.
form, his epauets would have been torn off
After he ceremony, he was taken to the civil
nrison
