nounccs that "the beginning of next
week will bring gold enough into the
market to make it a drag, and rates
are likely to yield" 1t speaks hope
fully of the future but asserts that
both parties contcnding for power
will keep the country agitatcd and
business enterprises back" Why this
latter assertion ? Our form of govern
ment neces3itates two political parties
and there never has been time yet
when contention was not in the Ma

everything. The great want is to
show that the loyal men must rule.

Counties without Railroads.

The Harrisburg Telegraph calls our
attention 10 the fact that the only
counties in Pennsylvania through
which no railroad passes, and the limits
of which are not likely to be touched
by railroad, are Fulton, Forest,
Potter and Greene. The Buffalo and
Washington Railroad, now in process
of construction, will approach nearly
to Potter county, while the lately
projected Greensboro and Brownsville
road, it is hoped, will be extended to
Waynesburg, in this county. There
is a vast amount Of railroad work now
in progress in this State, fact which
we are gratifcd to ascribe to an ener-
getic spirit of local development.
Thus the ilimitable resources of wealth
as yet scarcely touched in Pennsylva-
MIA, are to be rapidly brought to light
by the genius of public enterprise.

And round his cottage porch is seen
The honey y-suckle twining;
When banks ofgloom their sweetness yield,
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
Where skies are soft and sunny.
The black-bird clucks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clear,
Yon orchard hides behind its bough
The home he loves so dear;
The gray and old barn doors unfold .8
His ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps ofhoarded gold,

His wife, the lovely charmer,

A Contrast, &c.


b Editors Southern Culiuator /
present you a scrap of history and,
although not SO elegant, tits true,
and may be as useful, as some ex-
tracts that might be made from
Gibbon or Hume, or from Robin
son or Macaulay. About the
year 1890, and for several years
before and after that time, most
of the cotton from this section of
the country, that was sold in Au-
gusta, brought from 6 to g. cts.
There was no railroad then, and
hauling on wagons cost 81 25per
100 lbs., SO that the net yield to
the planter was from A to 5 cts.
per pound. Cotton is a little bet
ter now, even after paying the
tax and converting the remainder
into gold. How are we, at pres
ent, getting along compared with
that time? The contrast is strik-
ing. There were loud complaints
about low prices then; but people
bought plantations and payed for
them and were prosperous and
happy. There are loud complaints
now, and not without cause .lbut
politics aside) may we not see
why the effect of low prices is so
different from what it was then I?
Then nearly every man raised
his ownhorses, mules, hogs, cattle,
sheep, &c. To do this the best
and largest part of the land was
given to grain-corn, wheat, cats
and rye yielding abundance of
food for man and beast. When
often sold for fifty cents per bush
ell corn for less, and other things
in proportion. 5'.'
pgFat horses were en- every farm
and under every saddle. Money
2 only was scarce and yet, there was
plenty oft for all who were, not
running with mouth and eyes
open, and arms extended, seeking
the fragrant, precious nigger.-
How is. it now? Who raises
horses, mules and hogs enough
/ And few as they are how do they
look |? The son rides to town il
boots and broadcloth on a bony
lt7qrs horse or OF bad sl' buggy, The The father

In Bankruptcy.

There is quite a stir among the
attorneys Of Monroe and at the
Registers office, getting up and
filing bankrupt papers. Parties
are daily coming to town from
neighboring parishes seeking ad-
vice, filing their petitions or in
some way transacting business
connected with Bankruptcy. The
number who have applied does
not reach 200, but as nearly three
months must elapse before the 80
per cent. clause goes into effect, it
is generally believed that the ap
plicants will be increased in that
time by several hundred.
Public opinion, we believe, has
undergone little or no change re-
specting the wisdom of the Bank
rupt Act in a great many cases.
But a few individuals are embark
ing in bankruptcy who would do
much better to tough it out. Men
come here, owing not more than
$500, and go into bankruptcy at a
first cost of not less than $3.50,
half of their Indebtedness. Others
owing total Indebtedness rang
ing. from $4,000 down to $500, ap-
ply for bankruptcy and surrender
good houses, lands, stock, &C.,
worth intrinsically the amount of
their liabilities, in order, we are to
suppose, to gain some advantage
over an innocent creditor. This
sort Of bankruptcy is wrong from
beginning to end, and, unless we
are deceived, there will be hereaf-
ter an effort made in the courts to
show that the applicant is not en-
titled to his discharge 0uachita

infalliable remedy yet discovered,
for the speedy cure of founder In

Sunflowers are easily grown
alongside of fences and out-of-

when fed in small quantities to
