Wonderful Story Of True }

A wonderful story is in circulation this
morning about man at Crisfeld who has
been stricken down for blasphemy.
The story runs thus: The man Eve can t
learn the name on Sunday last started off
very early to 60 fishing. His wife tried to
persuade him not to go, insisting he would
be violating the law of God by so doing The
man remarked that he would 90 and
Catch mess of fish before Jesus Christ
was awake"
And he proceeded to the Annamessix riv-
er. On arriving at the shore he sank down
in the sand up to his neck, where he still
remains, Notwithstanding every effort to ex-
tricate him, by digging away the sand This
has been done, and his boots cut to free his
feet, but he still remains there as inextrica-
bic as ever.
Mr.. Wilson, our telegraph agent at Clay
ton, sent telegram last night to learn the
facts in the case, and the operator at Girls
field replied that they were as stated above.
The greatest excitement is reported to pre-
vail there.
We give the item as furnished by the
railroad employees here, without vouching
for it in any way. 1t beats the ghost story.

Now, brethren do not these facts and
figures present it to your minds as an evil of

effects; more to be dreaded and Stunned

the Bohon Upas. We are commanded to
shun it, and exert holy influence upon the
world of mankind, at all times and places.

ALONE

Twas midnight and he sat alone
The husband Of The dead.
That day the dark dust had been thrown
Upon her buried head.
Her orPhan'd children round him slept.
But in their sleep would moan
Then fell the first tears he had wept
He felt he vas alone.
The world was full Of life and light.
But an. no more FOR him!
His little world, once warm and bright
1T now was cold and dim.
Where was her sweet and kindly face p
Where was her cordial tone
He gazed around his dwelling place.
And felt he was alone.
The wifsIy Iove-maternaI care
The seIf-denying zeal
The smile Of hope that chased despair.
And promised future veal.
The clean bright hearth-niee table spread
The charm Ger ali things thrown
The Sweetness in whateer she said
An gone-he was alone
lie looked into his cold wild heart
A Il sad and unresigned;
II asked how he had done HIS part
To one true-so kind
Each error past he tried to track
In torture would atone
Would give his life to bring hers back
In vaIn-he was alonei
He slept at last. and then he dreaEn'd
(Perchanee Ia er spirit woke)
soft light Ger his pillow glesmd
A voice in music spoke
'Forgot-forgiyen all neglect
Thy love recalled alone
The babes leave, oh, IoYe, protect
still am all thine own"

What has become of this excess we can
not discover but it has been expended in
some way, for the State was compelled to
borrow money to assist in paying the inter

uary, 1868, and not dollar of the public debt
has yet been paid.-NashUiJle Union and

What Breaks pown young Men.

1t is constantly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthy element OF
college life. But from tables Of the mortality
of Harvard University, collected by Prof
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
seen the circulation knows that where
Aeschylos and political economy Injuries one,
late hours and rum punches use up dozen;
and that the two little fingers are heavier
than the Ioins of Euclid Dissipation is a
swift and sure destroyer, and every man
who follows it is, as the early flowers, ex-
posed to sntimely frost Those who have
been inveigled in the path of vice are named
4" Legion" for they are many-enOugh to
convince every novitiate that he has no Sc
curity to escape a similar fate. A few hours
| of sleep each night, light living, and plenty
| of " "smashes," make war upon every func-
tion of the human body. The brains, the
heart, the liver, the lungs, the spine, the
/ limbs, the bones, the flesh, every part and
faculty are overtasked, worn, and weakened,
/ by the terrific energy Of passion loosed from
restraint, until, like dilapidated mansion,
/ the " earthly house of this tabernacle falls

CoTToN We clip the following para
graphs from the October Report of the De
partment of Agriculture, and call the atten-
tion of our readers to the fact that all over
the country it is estimated that the crop of
'68 will fall far short of that of 67. A hint
to the wise is said to be sufficient:
The area in cotton is somewhat less than
last year; its culture has been better the
preparation for planting more complete !;
and labor more regular and reliable, as a
general rule Early In the season the
promise was fine serious losses have Of late
been incurred, however, principally from
depredatiOns of the cotton caterpillar, or
army worm, which have proved more gen
eral and severe in Georgia than elsewhere,
very troublesome in portions of
Alabama and Mississippi, and somewhat
prevalent in the Carolinas and in Arkansas.
Heavy rains in Tennessee and the southwest
have caused anxiety, but done less damage
than was expected Our returns indicate
IL smaller crop, possibly by 10 or 20 per
cent, than last year but the complete esti-
mate will not be made till the crop is gath
cred.
it is the aim of the statistician to give
the exact truth, nothing to extenuate, and
nothing to depreciate. Some farmers would
conceal the actual facts of the harvest with
the expectation Of better prices as a result
of the deception. The hope is fallacious (;
the fraud will always be d;scOyed. On the
other hand, there are always buyers who
will give publicity to extravagant estimates
to depreciate prices and magnify scarcity,
after having purchased heavily, to give au
unnatural stimulus to the market Honesty
is decidedly the best policy, for farmers as
we'll as others. In these estimates, while a
doubt exists, it may be proper to give pro-
ducers the benefit Of it, and make the figures
somewhat smaller rather than larger than
the probable result. Acting on this princi-
pie, the cotton estimate for 1866 was placed
at 1885,, 900 bales, and that OF 1867 at ., 34O,-
600 bales, whiles the actual shipments of
the cotton for those years reached very
nearly 2O000O0 and 100000 bales re-
spectively. Could every pound have been
counted in advance, no fairer statement
could have issued from this department
