NELLY's TEMPTATION AND PRAYEl

NELLY's TEMPTATION AND PRAYER.
Little Nelly was FIVE years old. Her
mother had taken great pains to instill
into her mind principles of right and
truth.
One day she stood at the door of tho
dining.room, looking with great earnest
ness at basket of fine peaches which
was on the table. Nelly knew she
should not touch them without leave,
but the temptation was strong. Soon
her mother, who was watching her from
another room saw her bow her head and
c5verher face with her little hands.
"What ails you, Nelly? she asked.
The child started, not knowing she
was watched.
80, MOTHER" she exclaimed, ri want
ed.so much to take one of the peaches;
but first thought l would ask God II
he had any objections"
@Dear little Nelly ! what path of
integrityand honor will be yours through
life, if, in all your conduct you seek your
Heavenly Fathers will, do no action
upon which you cannot seek his bless
ings."

WHO SHOULD INSURE!
The rich and the poor; the clergyman End
the laymen; the physician, the lawyer, tina
merchant, the mechanic and the laborer.-'
Every one having family dependent upon
him for support should effect an insurance on
his life for their benefit in case of his decease;
the rich because they have the means to pro-
vide ugainst the chances of fortune; the poor
man can spare a little every year for the fu-
ture wants of those who may, be left destitute,
the professional man, while in life and health,
finds sure means Of support for his family,
yet he rarely accumulates fortune: the sal
aried man, because none are more exposed 10
the changes and vicissitudes Of fortune. In
short. Life Assurance is applicable TO all cir.
cumstances in life.
AN EXCELLENT FEATURE.
The character OF this company specially
provides that wife can insure the life Of the
husband for the benefit Of herself and children,
free from any claims, dues or demands Of his
creditors in case her husband should die in
debt or the estate become insolvent.

TATTLERS.

Some little spot OF happy ground,
Where village pleasures might 60 round,
Without the village tattling.
How doubly blest that spot would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Of gossip's endless prattling'"
Every community is cursed by the
presence of class of people who make
it their business to attend to every bo'
dy's business but their own. Such peo.
pie are the meanest specimens of de.
PRAYED humanity which an all-wise Pro.
vidence permits to exist on this cursed
earth. 1t is well known that almost
every person is sometimes disposed to
speak evil of others; and tattling is a
sin from which very few can claim to
be entirely exempt. But the object OF
our present article is to speak of that
distinct class of tattlers who make tale
bearing the constant business of their
lives. They pry into the private affairs
of every family in the neigheorhood'
they know the exact state of one neigh
boris feelings toward another; they un-
derstand every body's faults, and no
little blunder or misdemeanor ever es-
capes their vigilant watchfulness. They
are particularly we'll posted up on every
thing connected with courtship and
matrimony, know who are going to mar
ry whom, and can guess the exact time
when it will take place. They watch
every movement of parties suspected of
matrimonial intentions, and if there is
the slightest chance to create distur-
bance, excite jealousy or "break up" a
match, they take immediate advantage
of it, and do all in their power to keep
people iu constant state of vexation.
They glide quietly from gentleman to
lady, from mother to daughter, from ia
.her to son, and in the ears of all they
pour their dark, bitter whispers of SLAM
der and abuse and at the same time
pretend to be the most sincere friend
of those they talk to. Their black and
nauseous pills of malicious SANDER are
sugar coated with smiles and honeyed
words of friendship.
Tattlers are confined TO no particular
class of society. They belong to all
classes, and operate in all. We find
them rich and poor-"uppcr ten" and
the GLOVER million," in the church and
out of it. They are people who have
no higher ambition than to be we'll in
formed in regard to other peoples pri-
vate business, to retail scandal to their
neighbors, and exult in fendish triumph
over the wounded feelings and bruised
hearts of their innocent victims. Beau
less old maids and childish matrons
make the most accomplished scandal
mongers in the world. They seem to
take to tattling from the promptings of
a natural instinct, and they prosecute
it with an energy that would do infer
nal honor to their great leader-the
prince of darkness himself. Our con-
tempt for such graceless creatures
knows no bounds and we can find no
words in which to express its infamy.
What punishment they deserve we can
not know but God knows, and as sure
as his eternal justice reigns, they will
receive retribution proportioned to
the magnitude of their offences against
the laws of God and the interests of hu.
manity.

PROSPECTIVE.

Considering the damage done to the
crop this year by bad seasons, We must
come to the conclusion that it will be
small one. We think the same result
may be expected every year. Our pres
ent supply of labor it is we'll known and
conceded, will house only a certain
| amount of cotton-something over two
million bales, and this years crop will
probably reach tha figure. five make
more it cannot be gathered, and this well
known fact has kept, and will keep,
cotton up, at near its present figure, pro-
vided we are wise, and retain the con-
troll of the speculator and the market,
which we now enjoy.
Todo this, and always be indepen-
dent, it is necessary that the agricul-
turalists should turn his strictest atten-
tion to the resources of his land; aud
particularly to the discovery, and utillza-
tion of the wealth of fertility which it
contains. To depend less on labor and
more on manure-one is very uncertain |;
the other, is certain as any human event
can be. Search the land intelligently,
AMI perseveringly, and it will yield its
treasures. Mari beds, and the most
valuable vegetable deposits, Ere to be
found scattered over the country in all
directions. Our creeks, marshes, bays,
and swamps, contain large quantities of
a more fertile manure than Guano.-
Bring these deposits to light; make use Of
them, and you have alreadytaSen long
step in the direction of independent.
Our planters are gradually embracing
the idea of farming which obtains at
the North and in Europe. 1t is the
idea of less labor, more manures, and an
intelligent rotation Of crops. If We will
make our own manures, our own corn in
sufficient quantity, raise our own meat,
and if possible develope our stock rails
ing facilities, the sceptre of "king cot
ton" can never pass from our grasp, and
we will always be in position to con-
troll its price.
Our social and labor systems will for
atime operate againstthis Development.
Idleness and crime must be put down
with strong hand; and to do this the
honest, and industrious of both race
must band together; their interest are
identical-they. are in the same boat,
and their duty to themselves, and to
society, imperatively demands that no
means be left untried, to punish the
midnight providers who will soon de-
scend on our field like a swarm of locusts;
unless we have the energy, and honest
manhood, to meet them with swift and
sure punishment.
We have our destiny in our own
hands Let the lights of science and
experience direct our labor, and the
Development of the hidden wealth
which our land contains. Do not stick
to old notions simply because they are
old nots;cns! Move forward with the age t!
and this cotton country will soon be the
Gel Dorado" of America.
