a Word FOR WvEs.-Little wives :;
if ever halt.suppressed righ finds place
with you, or halfunlOYing work escapes
you to the husband whom YOU love, let
your heart 90 back to some tender word
i'll those first love days; remember how
you loved him then, how tenderlv he
woocd you, how timidly you responded.
and if you can feel that you have not
grown unworthy trust him for the saline
tord love now. If you do feel that
through many cares and trials Of life you
have become less loveable and attractive
than you were, turn-by all that you
love on earth, Or hope for in heaven
turn back and Re the pattern of lowell
ness that won him; be the "dear one"
your attractions made you then. BE the
gentle, winning, loving maiden still; and
doubt not, the lover you admired will
live forever III your husband. Nestle by
his side, cling to his love, and let his
confidence in you never fail and, my
word for it, the husband will be dearer
than the lover ever was. Above all
things, do not forget the love he gave
you first. Do not seek to ''emancipate'
yourself-do not strive TO unsex yourself
and become Lucy Stone or Rev. Miss
Brown; but love the higher honor or
dained by our Saviour of old, that of a
loving wife. n happy wife, blessed
mother, can have no higher station, needs
no greater honor.

The Wonders Of California.

Samuel Dowles thus sums up. in the
Atlantic Monthly, the no,iltics Of nature
IN California:
With suddenly developed vet securely
held wealth as these lew facts illustrate
the future Of California looms before the
visitor with proportions that astound
and awe. Her nature is as boundless in
it's fecundity and variety, as II is strange
and startling in its forms, While Swift
zerland has only four mountains that
reach as high as 10000 feet, California
has n hundred or two, and one, Mount
Whitney that scars 20 1000 feet, and
is the highest peak Of the Republic
She has waterfall fifteen times as high
as Niagara. All climates are her own
any variety which her long stretch north
and south does not present, her noun
tains and valleys introduce. Dead vol
canoes and Snnkcn rivers abound; the
largest animal OF the continent makes
his covert in her chapparal, the second
largest bird of the world floats over her
plains for sarrinn; the biggest nugget Of
Gold (weighing 0j pounds, and worth
S37 400 has been found among her gold
deposits, she has lakes so thin that 4
sheet OF paper will sink in their waters.
80 yoraciouS that they will eat up a man,
boots, brccchcs and all, in thirty day, so
endowed in their fountains that they will
supply the worlds apothecarics with
borax, sulphur aud soda; she has mud
volcanoes and the Yosemite Valley: she
grows beets Of l2O pounds, cabbagcs of

watermclons of 50 pounds, and has a
grape vine Is inches thick, and bearing
$500 pounds in one season. Her men

SENATOR HILL, OF GEORGIA.
Joshua Hill was a Union man,
not only before the Union was de-
stroyed, but after secession had
become a fact. In the long war
that followed secession, his sym
pathies were against his own peo-
pie; his prayers assembled daily to
Heaven for the triumph of the
Northern arms; and he looked and
hoped for the final subjugation OF
his fellow citizens of Georgia and
the South. He, perhaps, counted
the chances; and, thinking North
ern numbers would win, looked
forward to the end for offices and
honors and trust and confidence.
The end came; and after a while
Mr.. HIPS reward came, too. He
was sent to the Senate. Instead
Of being received with open arms
by Northern Senators, and vel
coined as the one man who had
not gone astray, he is kicked con
temptuously from them Selma

An indiscreet compiler Of
the statistics Of social life in
Paris has calculated that the
number of children in the high
est ranks of the aristocracy of
Paris Ito every family is only
two, while in the bourgeoise
every family has on an average
five children, and the proper
ton of children in the lowest
classes of society is still great
or. But he says that while the
aristocratic families generally
succeed in preserving the lives
of their two children, the bour-
geoise lose on an average three
of the five before they are six
years old, and the lower classes
bring up only one child out of
five. He infers from these sta
tistics that the aristocracy is
bbth vicious and exhausted,
while the bourgeoise is virtu-
GUS and ignorant, and the low
er classes are too wretched and
stupid to take proper care of
their children.

The DRUNKARDS OF SAN AN
ToNIo.-The Herald says there is
more drunkenness in San Antonio
(Texas) than any city of its size in
the United States, and adds:
There is something peculiar
about the drunkards of San Anto-
MO; they are nearly all men of
talent and have in their early and
better days held courts, judges
and juries spell bound by their
eloquence, and now know more
law than half the judges of the
Supreme Court OF Texas. We saw
the most talented attorney that
ever argued a case before any
court in Western Texas trying to
sell a magnificent copy of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary the
other day for a few glasses OF
whisky; at another time we saw
the same man attempt to pawn a
magnifcently bound album for Ii
quor. The record of cases before
the Mayor for drunkenness. re-
veals a fearful story which the
youths of our city should study
carefully.

THE KING OF POISONs.-
Within the last quarter of a
century the United States have
buried at least three genera
tons of young men, who went
to early graves through the
baleful influences Of brandy
and whisky. Some of these
young men gave promise of
great usefulness-some were
extraordinarily briIliant-some
were the hope and pride of their
families-but ardent spirits
proved too much for them, and
down they went head-long
among the dead men.
The incorporate use, or the
use of strong liquors to any
extent, except as medicines by
prescription of the most com
petent physicians, is the most
pernicious of all the many bad
habits the naturally noble
youth and young men of Amer
lea acquire. 1t is poison to the
fool and hemloek to the sage
It's the aspen coiled upon the
snow of beauty's bosom. 1t is

crushing down the dearestidol'
of joy and love. One may bt
gifted with talents that NIGH
have swayed the American
Senate in the palmiest days o
its. pride and power, yet intern
perance can make him a de
mon.
The reign of the Caligula o
polsons is daily hurrying mil
lions of youth and young mel
to the grave, to darkness an,

Cotton Receipts---Prospects.


The receipts of cotton in this
city already exceed the whole re-
ceipts of '67 and '68. Up to the
LIST September, 1868, there were
$50, 1000 bales; to the Oath Februa-
ry, 1869, the receipts are 671, 900
bales. The total receipts at all the
Southern ports are estimated as
about equal to those oflast season.
New Orleans, however, has been
favored this season by the greater
success of the planters in the re-
gion adjacent to her port.
Last season the Mississippi val
ley participatedin the general dis
asters which reduced the crop,
whilst this year it has been ex-
empt from visitations which swept
the whole cotton region in 1867
and '68. 1t is almost a certainty
that the total receipts by the first
O. September will reach the fig
ures which we gave as our esti-
mate at the beginning Of the
picking season, to-wit: 900, 200
bales. At the average rates of
cotton during the season the
money value Of this crop will
reach the large sum of 10000, 900
OF dollars.
The product of the whole South
will exceed 100000, 900, of which
there are exported abroad an
amount equal to two-t thirds of the
whole exports of the United States.
Thus it is that cotton still contin-
ues to maintain it's attitude as the
great regulator of the exchanges
of this country with foreign ma
tiOns. It is the basis upon which
our national credit rests. With
out it our vast superstructure of
paper currency would not stand
the constant drain Of specie. The
apprehensi0ns that the abolition
Of slavery and other consequences
Of the war would destroy the cul-
ture of this staple, or, by stimula.
ting it's productions in other coun-
tries, would so reduce it's price as
to render it's profitable culture i'm
practicable in the South, have
been dissipated by facts and expe-
rience. The superior and peculiar
character Of our cotton has been
established by more thorough
proofs than were ever before given.
HencefOrth, the prospects of the
cotton culture in the South will be
considered as beyond the reach OF
casualty or disturbance, from any
of the causes which have hereto
fore interfered with its prosperity.
It may fuctuate in price and pro.
ftableness, but as long as we pos
sess the region which alone Of the
whole earth combines all the con.
ditions for the successful produc.
ton of the article, which is so i'm.
peratively demanded by the great
manufactures of textiles, cotton
must continue to be one of the
most fOurishing of all the pro
ducts of our soil and industry

MRS. ANDREW j OHNSON.-Mrs.
johnson, a confirmed invalid, has
never appeared in society at Wash
ington. Her very existence is
myth to almost every one. She
was last seen at a party given to
her grandchildren. She was seat
ed in one Of the republican court
chairs, o dainty affair of satin and
ebony. She did not rise when the
children, or older guests, were
presented to her; she simply said:
''My dears, I am an invalid" -aEd
her sad, pale face and sunken eyes
fully proved the expression. Mrs.
johnson looks much older than
the President, and her age does
exceed his by few swings of the
scythe of time. She was never
beautiful, but an observer would
say, contemplating her, ga noble
woman-God's first, best gift to
man." Perhaps it is well to call
to mind at this time that it was
this woman who taught the Presi-
dent to read after she became his
wife; and that in all their earlier
years she was his counselor, as
sistant and guide. None but a
wise and good mother could have
reared such daughters as Mrs.
Patterson and Mrs. Slower. When
Mrs. Senator Patterson found her
self the ''frst lady in the land"
she made this remark, which has
been the keynote Of the feminine
department of the White House
from that eventful day to the
present time: awe are plain peo-
pile, from the mountains ofTennes,
see, called here for a short time
by a national calamity. l trust
too much will not be expected of
u.s." When Anna Surratt threw
herself PROSTATE upon the floor of
one of the ante-rooms ofthe White
House, begging piteously to see
Mrs. Patterson, she said: "Tell
the girl she has my sympathy, my
tears, but l have no more right to
speak than the servants Of the
White House." When the "par-
don brokers" trailed their Shiny
lengths everywhere about the
mansion, they neyerdared to cross
a certain enchanted pathway, and
the face Of any lobbyist set in this
direction has always brought up
in the end against a stone WALL
