THE LIGHT.HEARTED
PEOPLE.

There are people who habitu-
ally make the best of things,
not from any shrinking from
pain on their own account or for
others, but simply from natu-
raj and unconqucrable lightness
of heart. These people supply
the oxygen of the moral atmos-
phere, and should be maintain
ed at the publieexpense to keep
it sweet and pure. Even if in
stead Of being, as they generally
are, active and otherwise esti-
mable members Of society, they
did nothing but enjoy life, they
would still be worth cultivating
for the sake of the light and
heat which they kindle. The
only difficulty is how to regu-
late them. They are SO irresis-
tibly impelled to sing songs,
that, in a world where hearts
are unfortunately common, it
is difficult always to keep the
vinegar and the nitre apart. 1t
is unreasonable to expect any
great consideration for the sus-
capabilities Of melancholy peo-
pie from the constitutionally
cheerful, because the very fact
of their being SO implies a GER
tain degree of insensibility,
which involves a corresponding
amount Of blindness to other
peoples sensibility. A genu-
inely cheerful person makes the
best of your troubles, because
they really do not appear to
him very distressing, and it is
for you to decide whether such
a view will act on your mind as
a tonic or an irrritant.

what the South will Gain by
Erecting Cotton Factories.
T From the Macon Messenger.

FROM the macon messenger.
A correspondent Of the
Charleston News, writing from
Orangeburg, S. G., insists that
the subject of building cotton
factories should be constantly
agitated in the South, and that
our people who have been too
long used to accustomed
grooves should swing loose
from the all absorbing idea of
planting, and while they trim
the pillow for plenteous crop,
let them unite in forming com
panies for the manufacture of
the raw material, thereby in
augurating a career of Southern
independence, giving employ
ment to thousands of MANNED
and destitute in our land, and
retaining at home that stream
of wealth that now flows, and
and for a half century has flow
ed northward, enriching that
section TO a degree unparallel-
ed in the history of any people.
1t is folly and superauous to
enter into discussion relative to
the natural resources of the
two sections !; any one at all
conversant with the geography
of the South must be already
convinced that hers is the pro-
vince which abounds in the adj
vantages of water power une-
qualled by the united world,
The rushing waterfalls of
Tennessee and murmuring
streams, ceaselessly coursing to
the ocean from the mountains
of Carolina to Georgia, chide
US with an inertness which
former times may have render
ed excusable, but which is a
standing reproach SO long as
such advantages are neglected
in the future. A few incon-
testible figures will go further
to prove the point than any
amount Of argument based on
mere assumption, and the wri-
ter quotes from DeBow's Re
view for January, 1867, on
&" Southern Manufactures. -
"For instance, from one pound
of cotton you may make four
yards of what is known, in
mercantile parlance, as four
quarter brown muslin. These
four yards will be worth eighty
cents, and thus we see that the
process of manufacturing has
added sixty cents to the value
ofone pound of cotton.
Hence, we may take our two
hundred and fifty thousand
bales, worth $25, 100000, and
if we manufacture nothing but
the most ordinary articles, we
may increase its value to $780,
600, 000-that is, as much as
we realized from our former
crop of one million bales
This statement of the author
made in endeavoring to foster
enterprise in Alabama, and she
is gloriously responding, as
also her sister States. Georgia
alone has in the course of cree
ton about ninety factories.-
What is the aim of the South
ern people at this critical juno
ture of their THE States life
but to revive her wasted places
and stand ON a solid foundation
Of security ? How is this to be
best accomplished ? By i'm
proving every advantage and
blessing placed in our reach by
a benign Providence. Crops of
cotton are made after hard and
anxious labor, and are needless
ly sacahced for one half their
value, and the mills of Lowell.

HYACINTHS.
BY "M. P. f"

! hey crown'd her brow like crown,
With their pink hearts all aglow,
In the blackness of her hair they seemed
Blanchsd to the whitest snow,
O'er her wanswbite neck they trailed,
They lurked in her robes Of lace,
And hung their dainty heads against,
The beauty of her face.
Jewels, nor gems, nor gold,
Her perfect splendor marred,
Only the sweep of hyacinths,
Her snowy forehead starred,
Oh, hyacinths, crowned queen,
Like scepter, your little hand,
Allegiance drew from many heart,
To your baauty's sweet command.
One moment she stood alone,
w Anal by love nude bold, '-s~ ''4e r.
Dared the scorn of her flashing eyes.
And to her my love l told,
She lifted her regal head,
She stabbed my heart with her eyes,
She crushed my pure and honest love,
By the scorn of her grand surprise.
From her foamy robes as she passed,
plucked hyacinth bloom,
For fitting monument to mark,
My dead loves lowly tomb:
The blossoms is sere with age,
And the head which its sisters crowned,
Whitened and bent with many years,
Lies somewhere under the ground.
