THE COTTON PROBLEM.

The Montgomery Advertiser says "the
evidence is culminative and daily increasing
at rate which bids fair to overwhelm the
most skeptical at no distant day, that the
cultivation of cotton for export in the raw
state must be abandoned in the South. We
no longer can hope to compete with foreign
countries since the fact has been estab-
| lished that it costs about twice as much to
produce it here as it costs elsewhere, leav-
ing out of view the American tax upon our
producers of two and half cents per
pound. If this tax should be repealed, as
it possibly may be, the ensuing winter, still
the cultivation of cotton in this country,
except just enough for home manufacture
only, must from necessity be stopped, and
provision crops substituted therefor. And
we shall probably not be able to produce
cotton for our own home manufacturers
without a high protective tariff against the
foreign article-a consumation which we
need not expect, in view of the power Of
Congress and its will, heretofore exhibited,
to legislate maliciously against us whenever
it consents to be ruled by malignant lead
ers.
'The tendency of all purely cotton grow
ing countries is to neglect everything else,
and the daily exports of wheat to Europe
an markets affords strong evidence of this
fact. Prices of -four and wheat now rule
high in Liverpool, caused by the demand
for food from the East India country, which
has taken for its motto the exploded South
ern idea that sCotton is King"

A SENSIBLE WISH.

Speaking extemporaneously is rather diff
fcult until you get used to it. A young
lawyer in New Hampshire, who had never
yet had case in court, was invited to de-
liver an oration on the occasion of the open
ing of new bridge. Itwas fine opportu.
nifty to establish his reputation. He did
not prepare himself, for he had an idea that
that was unlawyer like, and that lawyer
must be able to speak any number of hours
in style of thrilling eloquence at mo-
ment's notice. lie stood out upon the plat.
form, and amid the profound attention Of
his hearers, commenced as follows: 'Fel'

bridge, built by your enterprise, was part
and parcel of the bowling wilderness.
He paused for moment. eyes, fellow.
citizens, only fve-and-forty years ago, this
bridge where we stand, was part and par.

paused. (Cries of ego on.") Here was
the "rub." 81 hardly feel it necessary tc
repeat that this bridge, fellow-citizens only
fve-and-forty years ago, was part and par.

WHAT BREAKS Down YOUNG MEN.-It
is commonly received notion that hard
study is the unhealthy element of college
life. But from tables of the mortality OF
Harvard University, collected by Professor
Pierce from the last triennial catalogue, it
is clearly demonstrated that the excess Of
deaths for the first ten years after gradua-
ton is found in that portion of each class
inferior in scholarship. Every one who
has been through the curriculum knows
that where Hschylus and Political Econo'
my injure one, late hours and rum punches
use up dozen and that the two little fin
gers of Bacchus are heavier than the loins
of Euclid. Dissipation is swift and sure
destroyer, and every young man who fol,
lows it is as the early flower exposed to
untimely frost. Those who have been in
veigled in the path of vice are named "Le-
gion," for they are many-enough to con.
vince every novitiate that he has no securi.
ty that he shall escape similar fate. Lack
of sleep each night, high living, and plenty
of 'ssmashers,' make war upon every func-
ton of the human body. The brains, the
heart, the lungs, the liver, the spine, the
limbs, the bones, the fesh-every part and
faculty-are overtasked, worn and weaken.
ed by the terrific energy of passion and
appetite loosed from restraint, until, like a
dilapidated mansion, the "earthly house Of

bench, with vice at one end, is very i'm.
portant. Here hundred things can be
'sfxed," too numerous to mention. In
such a room an assortment Of good tools
should be kept-saws, planes, augers, bits

ply of nails of all kinds, wrought and cut
and some made especially for 'little jobs, y
that require small nails. The city hard

know any use to which you can put many

be sure to use them all, sooner or later
You also require various pieces of timber,

MUTTON VS.. PoRK.-Physicians recon-
mend mutton as the most wholesome meat
the easiest digested, and best suited to in
valids; while pork, as everybody knows
is. the most unwholesome flesh eaten. In
England, mutton is favoritc dish, and
we apprehend it is to this, rather than tc
roast beef, that the Englishman owes his
robust health and rosy complexion. Oul
people eat too much pork and too little
mutton. And yet, as a cotemporary vel
remarks, "mutton can be produced pound
for pound at less than half the price Of
pork; yields more nourishment when ca.
ten; and keeping sheep does not exhaust
farm to the extent feeding hogs does
Sheep can be kept during the winter on hay
and turnips, or mangel wurtzel, or sugar
beet, while hogs will not do without at least
some corn"

MACHINERY ON THE FARM.

One ofsfhe most cheering indications of
the times is the rapid introduction of i'm
plements in husbandry, especially, of those
that are moved by horse power. In this
matter, the West is ahead of the East, and
the grain. growing districts greatly excel
the dairy regions. Corn, where It'll grown
upon large scale, is now very generally
cultivated by horsepower, without the use
of the hand-hoe. Five times cultivating
is much better than three times hoeing and
much cheaper. Some drill in their corn,
one kernel in aplace and one foot apart,
by horse drill, and claim that they not
only do the work at much less expense, but
get much larger crop. There is no hand
labor about it until you come to the har-
vesting, and even this we anticipate, will
soon be done by machinery. Potatoes are
cut, dropped and covered, cultivated and nd
dug by horsepower, and, we think, will
soon be bagged and binned in the same way.
Wheat is put in by the horse drill, and cut
by the horse reapers The hay harvest is
now all secured by horse power. These
machines are not indeed universally in
troduced, but their economy is so apparent,
and they put the hay and grain harvests
so completely into the power of the farmer
that no man can long afford to do without
them. The manufacture of these machines
has become vast business, giving en-
ployment to tens of thousands of men, and
the demand for them is constantly increas-
ing. They are powerful argument for
clearing out of stumps and boulders, and
for making rough ways smooth. The man
who clings to the time honored tools and
the "good old ways" will be badly beaten
in the market. t.-American Agricuhurist.

with heavy walking stick, and shocked at
the spectacle before him, marched up to
the dogs, exclaiming as he did so:
"Fie, fie, for shame disgraceful you
mean citizens of Frogtown, will you stand
by and"
"Don't thee, don't thee strike my dog,
Deacon Pugh," cried Abraham Miller, ad'
vancing toward the Deacon, who was about
to cut right and left with his cane.
"Your dogs!" shouted the Deacon, with
evident fervor.
"Not my dogs, Deacon Pugh,' said the
Quaker.
"What did you say so for then p said
the Deacon.
81 never said they were my dogs, Deacon
Pugh."
@You did, yelled the Deacon.
"Deacon Pugh, thee speaks groundless'
| ly," said the Quaker.
"You tell q falsehood, Abraham Miller.
| "Thee utters a mendacious assertion,
reiterated Abraham.
"You-you - tell lie!" shouted the
Deacon.
"Thou hast provoked my evil passion,
Deacon Pugh," shouted the stalwart Qua
| ker, sand will chastise thee"
And into the Deacon's hair went the
Quaker.
The Deacon, nothing 10th, entered into
the fight, and we leave them to ''pin and
tuck, " to look to the stranger and Bob Car
ter, who fought and fit, and fit and fought
until Squire Catchem and the constable
came up, and in the attempt to preserve the
peace and arrest the offenders, the Squire
was thrust through the window of neigh
boring matchmaker, doing heap of dam
age, while lawyer Hooker, in attempting to
aid the constable, was hit in mistake, by
the furious blacksmith, in the ribs, and went
reeling down Gumbo's cellar with frightful
velocity.
The friends and fellow -churchmen Of Dea-
con Pugh took sides against the Quaker
antagonist, and then the shop-boys of A
braham, seeing their employer thus beset,
came to the rescue while two Irishmen, full
of fun and frolic, believing it to be 'free
tight" tried their hands and sticks upon
the combatants so indiscriminately, that in
less than half an hour. the happy village of
Frogtown was shaken from it's propriety by
one grand, sublimely ridiculous and most
terrific battle.
Heads and windows were smashed; chill
dren and women screamed dogs barked !;
and so furious, mad and excited became the
whole community, that quiet looker-on,
if there had been any, would have declared
that the evil ones were all in Frogtown.
A heavy thunderstorm finally put an end
to the row, the dogs were more or less kill
ed, child severely wounded, man scald-
ed, wagon broke, the horse ran himself to
death, his owner badly beaten by Bob Car
ter, whose wife and the wives of many 9TH
ers were dangerously scared, the painter
was crippled, dry goods ruined, q Quaker
and a deacon, two Irishmen, lawyer Hook
er, Squire Catchem, and some fifty others,
Fshamefully whipped. Lawsuits ensued,
feuds followed, and the entire peace and
good repute of Frogtown annihilated-all

RUT ONE PAIR OF STOCKINGS.

BUT ONE PAIR OF STOCKINGS.
An old wife sat by her bright fireside,
Swaying thoughtfully to and fro
In an ancient chair whose creaky craw
Told Q tale of long ago;
While down by her side on the kitchen floor
Stood basket Of worsted balls-a score.
The good man dozed DER the latest news
Til the light of his pipe went out,
And unheeded, the kitten with cunning paws
Rolled and tangled the balls about;
Yet still sat the wife in the ancient chair,
Swsying to and fro in the firelight glare.
But anon misty teardrop came
In her eye Of faded blue,
Then trickled down in q furrow deep
Like single drop Of dew;
So deep was the channel, so silent the stream,
The good man saw naught but the dimmed eye
beam.
Yet marvelled he much that the cheerful light
OF her eye had weary grown,
And marveled he more at the tangled balis,
So he said in gentle tone,
sI have shared thy joys since our marriage VOW,
Conceal not from me thy sorrows nowS"
Then she spoke of the time when the basket there
Was filled to the very brim
And now there remained of the goodly pile
But single pair-for him;
"Then wonder not at the dimmed eyelight,
There's but one pair ofstockingsto mend tonight
~ cannot but think of the busy feet
Whose wrappings were wont to lay
/. In the basket awaiting my needles time,
Now. wandered so Tar away;
How the sprightly steps, to a. amother dear,
Unheeded fall on the careless ear.
"For each empty nook in the basket old
By the hearth there's a vacant seat;
And miss five shadows from of the wall,
And the patter of many feet. -.
'Tis for this that tear gathered over my slgnt,
At the one pair Of stockings to mend tonight!
",Twas said that far through the forests wild,
And over the mountains bold,
Was land whose rivers and darkening caves
Were gemmed with the rarest gold;
Then my first-born turned from the oaksn door,
And knew the shadows were only four.
"Another went forth on the foaming wave,
And diminished the baskets store,
But his feet grew cold-so weary and cold
THEY'LL never be warm any more,
And this nook in its emptiness seemeth to me
To give forth no voice but the moan OF the sea-
ssTwo others have gone towards the setting sun,
And made them home in its light,
And fairy figures have taken their share
To mend by the freside bright;
Some other basket their garments fill,
But mine, Oh, mine! is emptier still.
"Another-the dearest, the frailest the last
Was taken by the angels away,
And clad in garment that waxeth not old,
In q land Of continual day.
Oh! wonder no more at the dimmed eyeight,
While mend the one pair of stockings to-night!'
