VARIETY IN CRops.-Cotton is
an uncertain plant, and if farmers
embark their: all in it and fail,
disaster and ruin will be certain
for the whole South, which after
years Of war, desolation, and agri-
cultural and commercial reverses,
has so lately and with such great
started out again on the
highway of prosperity and wealth.
It should not be forgotten SO soon
that the diversified and early
crops Of tho past season, small
though they were, brought the
planter money and supplies at q
time when he was driven to the
last extremity Of the season. 1t
is a poor policy which dcvotes the
rich and productive acres of the
South to cotton for the purchase
of grain, -four and provisions at
famine prices. Cotton may fail
or prices may not pay out the
cost of its production, but the
thrifty planter who may have de-
voted a portion of his lands to
corn, wheat and esculents, will be
left IN independent and easy cir
cumstances. Plant plenty of grain
and vegetables, increase your in
terest in cattle and hogs, and our
word for it the end Of another
season will find the people Of the
South in a more prosperous and
independent position than they
have ever occupied.

The Practical Beauties O.
Mormon Polygamy.

A Gentle woman in Utah lately
gave correspondent Of the. Gin
cinnati Commercial this little, but
telling sketch of the practical
workings of the Mormon system !:
"Now, there's Eph. Roberts,
over there" pointing to a stone
house near the mountain-"he
brought a real young, delicate
wife from New York, now going
on sixteen years ago, and she
worked hard, I tell you; why, I've
known her to do all her own work,
when Eph had three hands and
the threshing machine at his
house, and sometimes she worked
out in the field, bound wheat aud
raked hay, which is awful on
a delicate New York woman ;
'taint as if she'd been raised to it,
like we folks-and after all, just
last year Eph. went and married
another woman, a real young one,
not over twenty, and don't you
think, this spring she knocked
Maria - that's his wife - down
with the churn-dasher and scalded
her. Eph. stood by and just said ;
$50 in, Luce kill her if you can
It all started about a churn, too.
Both wanted TO use it at once.
Maria had it, and her butter was
slow a-comin, and they got mad,
and Luce struck her, and then
snatched the kettle right off the
stove and poured hot water on
her feet, so she fell down when
she tried to run out. And what
was the result fnally2 Well,
Maria left him, ofcourse-she had
to, or be killed. It's very nice,
though, for the men. l had a
dozen chances to marry old Nor

man havestwo or three. mon, and
see how they'd like that. There
wouldn't be no murderin' done in
these parts-oh, no! And [ reck-

FIGHTING ExTRAoRDINARY.----
North VS.. SoUTH.-There was,
fight between Northern and South-
ern fowls at New York lately.
Twelve battles were fought, 5000
each, and $4,000 the main. The
Northern cocks were yietori-

of the twelve. A New York
paper says the contest was
almost unequaHed in the Northern
States. The first six fights con-

was considered an outside one.
A New York paper describing the
scene and those present, says; y.
It was peculiar crowd, and
one worthy of study. Imagine

HAS WOMAN A SSoUL.-A fellow
in Cincinnati, Ohio, has published
pamphlet, in which he attempts
to prove, by the Scriptures, th@ a
woman has no soul-that she was
not designed in, nor was she a
part of the creation. That man
is the biggest fool the sdn ever
shone upon, and he is entitled to
a premium for,ignorance and out
rageous SANDER. Woman is the
best and fairest of creation, and if
either sex is devoid Of soul, it GER
tainly is man, In fact we do
know men, whom we have, at
times, deemed soulless; but. never
vet have We found o won on, no
matter, what her position or sta
tion in life, who did not, at times,
give evidence of God-]ike virtue,
truth and charity. She blesses
earth, is a ministering angel on
the rugged road of life; and will
adorn the highest station in the
unexplored regions Of futurity:
Without her, creation would have
been a failure, earth a blank, and
Heaven would lose it's charms if
deprived Of her presence.

How TO GET A HoME,-Co-opel

How TO GET A HoME,-Co-oper-
ative movements among mechan
les and laboring men are attract
ing increased attention in this
country, and must recommend
themselves to the favorable views
of our Southern artizans. The
following is the plan pursued by
a Cooperative Building Society
in New York, composed of five
hundred members: Every mem.
ber takes two shares Of $1,000
each, upon which he pays 81 a
week. At the end of every month
$4,000 is thus collected; when the
members draw lots for the prive-
ledge of using the money in build
ing a house. The winner. then
has the funds loaned to him for
the purpose, and gives the society
a mortgage upon the building for
the amount. Until the house be-
comes finished he pays at the rate
Of five. per cent, or $40 a month,
and after completion at the rate
of ten per cent, or $40 a month,
towards liquidating the debt, free
from interest. When the $4,000
becomes thus returned, the mort
gage is released and the borrower
ownes the house. If a member
wishes a larger loan than $4,000,
say $4,000, he pays subscriptions
in proportion, say $3.50 a week,
from the time of his entrance, and
liauidates his debt in proportion
ate repayments. -.

WHAT is A DRUNK ?-There are
perhaps many who can say from
personal experience that it is a
deuced bad thing. Our object,
however, in putting the question
is to give: scientific answer fur
nished by the North American
RevieW, which says that at the
beginning Of a carouse of a t'!l11E drunk
ard, alcohol stimulates the action
of the heart, which now sends
blood rapidly to the lungs for
aeration. Alarge supply of blood
disks consequently reach the brain
which is stimulated into activity.
The ideas of the drinker now flow
rapidly, at first coherently, but
soon without con .rol; the brain
matters wastes too rapidly, and
delirium ensues. During this time
the volatile alcohol is diffusing
itself through the system, convert
ing arterial into venous blood, and
loading that fluid with a spirit
which has tendency to prevent
change in the tissues, so that the
drunkard gradually becomes stu
pid, falls off. his chairi in the stupor
of sleep, or if too far gone, dies OF
venous apoplexy. -

A Good Garden.

Now is the proper time to lay
the foundation ofa good garden.
This consists in giving a liberal
allowance Of manure and deep
working. Deep digging cannot
be dispensed with. A good gar
den must be good in July and Au-
gust as we'll as in April and May.
How few really good gardens are
found during midsummer! When
ever one is known you may be
sure that deep working at the
start is the origin oft.
1t is impossible to expect a
shallow worked soil to produce a
succulent vegetable during the
dry Summer months. The gene
raj practice is to hasten the burn
ing up process, instead of remedy
ing it. Some gardens, we admit,
receive a fair allowance OF manure,
but by being improperly worked
in the ground it causes the crop
to be FASTENED to it's destruction
whenever the dry Summer COM
mences. If the same quantity OF
manure has been worked in the
ground to the depth of eighteen
inches,- and we'll incorporated with
the soil, the result would be en-
tirely different from the usual
scarcity Of vegetables in mid-sum-
mer. Deep trenching and deep
manuring will allow vegetables
to draw moisture for a long pc
riod. Try it.: is the time to
perform the work, and our word
for it, your reward will consist in
greatly increased crops of vegetu-
bles, as we'll as heightened har-

INFLUENCE OF NEwsPAPERs.-A
school-teacher who has enjoyed
the benefit of long practice in
his profession, and watched close
fy the influence of newspapers up
on a family of children, states, as
the result Of his observation, that,
without exception, those scholars
of both sexes who have access to
newspapers at home, when com
pared to those who have not, are :
l. Better readers, excellent in
pronunciation, and, consequently,
read more understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers, and
define words with ease and aecu7
racy. ,-f r-- ....,-a., ~. .-.-- , ..
3. They obtain a partial knowl-
edge of Geography, in almost half
the time it requires others, as the
newspaper has made them famil-
lar with the location of these i'm
portant places, National Govern
ment, &c.
=, 4. They are better GRAMMAR
ans, for the newspaper has made
them familiar with every variety
Of style, from the commonplace
advertisement, to the finished and
classical oratory ofthe Statesman
they more readily apprehend the
text, and subsequently, analyze its
construction with more alacrity.
5. They write better compost
tions, using better language, con-
tanning more thought, and more
clearly expressed.
From these important facts,
three important things can be de-
Quoted.
1. The responsibility ofthc press
in providing literature which is
both healthful in tone, and under
standingly expressed.
2. The absolute necessity ofper-
sonal supervision of the child's
reading by the parents.

The Future of the South.


.Lippincott's. Magazine for the
month Of February contains, among
many articles of intrinsic merit,
one upon Southern Reconstruct
| tion," written by a most polished
| and forcible writer. We haveroom
for but a single extract in our pre-
sent issue: 'The Future Of the
South" The writer says: -,:s ,
aWe believe that the South has
sas great future before it in the
development. Of its vast resources
Of mineral wealth, aided. by its
favorable location in regard to soil
and climate; but we feel that its
growth depends more upon the
earnestness with which it seeks
the fostering hand of our great
national government than upon
any application that can now be
made of abstract theories of State;
Rights and local selfgovernment.
We believe that its true recon-
struetion in all material respects
is to be sought in closer alliance
with Northern energy and North
ern capital, and that "a natural
union will be formed between the
twoin all the great enterprises that
tend to. the development Of ma
tional wealth and, commercial
greatness, despite political an
tipathies and legislative inapti-
tudes. But last of all, we believe
that her richest treasure, her
creative powers of mind and i'm m:
aginatien, will yet. be employed,
ii union with the more advan:ed
intellects of the n North, in the com
mon work of, thinking and'writing
for the benefit, Of. our own country
and of mankind. Political par
ties may hesitate to align them
selves upon the kasisof aeommon
destiny; capital may shrink from
free. and liberal inEestmentinsnew
and needy fields; churches may
not be wiling to give. the right
| hand of fellowship across the
bloody lines traced by civil war;
but literary men, the students of
universal nature and the explorers
ofthe illimitable fields Of thought,
will meet on their distant voyages,
and feel a grateful. pride in hailing
each other as the citizens ofa,eom-
mon country, and the devotees of
truescience will reunite the several
! filaments that weave the web of
our national life. How glorious
may become that state ofAmerican
society, in which the energy and
zeal of higher latitudes shall be
joined with the grace and ease of
Southern sentiment, where truth
and power shall be subordinate to
love, and, where all alike shall re-
! joice in the oblivion Of great ma,
tional sorrow, we may not now be
able fully to appreciate. "@

DoN'T CULTIVATE ORDINARY
LAND WITHOUT MANURE.-Recol-
lect, it costs you, On our average
soils, ten dollars or more to make
and gather an acre of cotton. If
you do not look closely after your
hands, it will cost you a good deal
more than that. Now, every acre
cufttva vatud, - H, s--;ee1a
crops worth at least. the above
amounts, will not only be no pro-
fit, but run in debt. Larger crops
still are required to obtain u profit
on hired labor. Lands, then, which
will not yield such crops we must
let rest, or manure them sufficient
ly, or we lose money. At least
half Of our poorest soils hitherto
devoted to corn and cotton, should
be thrown out to rest and the bal
ance enriched. How will it take
us to exhaust what little capital
We have left, if for every acre on
which we can make a net profit of
ten dollars we continue to cult
vate FIVE which lack from three
to ten dollars each Of meeting the
actual cost of cultivation. There
are few lands which will not yield
o profit if commercial manures
are judicially applied.

The Ramie.

Or. fnlnpS, OF tne SOutHeIN HU'-
mer, asks, in the January number:
What has become of this fibre
producing plant? Will the peo-
pie of the South let it 60 over
! board? If the Northern country
people had it, no paper could be
seen without seeing the ramie in
all sorts Of style. No expense of
advertising would be spared. 1t
lis one of the plants that should be
brought into acquisition to help
| the South, and it will do it.
We had a kind friend to send
us ten roots. Five of these we
gave away; only three of the re-
mainder vegetated, and from these
three we have had quite a large
increase. Another friend gave US
five, later, and probably too dry,
but planted on same land, and not
one vegetated. ~,...-
We then had one hundred sent
to us to cultivate on shares. We
selected, we thought, the richest
spot possible, and we prepared it
nobly, ditch East and North,
and we thought the land was in
splendid condition, planted with
our own hand, and cultivated
twice, but somehow the land was
too damp, owingto the main ditch
being badly dug out, as it was not
opened at. the mouth, which we
saw not until too late, and the
consequence was the ditch filed
up. We, have made more from
the plants in ourgardent than from
one hundred in "the, richest spot. /"
We have had one years expert
sence, and though we have not an
|: interest remote or near in the sale
of plants, yet We saysif the ramie
does not prove. a success, if there
p
be not good wear in the fabrics,
and money in it, there is no use
in anything but the thirteen
months cotton crop: ~.
As it increases there is no end
toit, iflabor and energy wear not
out. The manufacture Of the lint
from the stalk is cheaper and
reader than pure fax or hemp,
as we have seen these worked,
and the cloth-well, we only ask
for enough for ourself: III

adds: "The ramie can await an
other failure of cotton. 1t will
not fail, and will constantly in
crease, and as it's fibre is stronger
and finer than cotton, it will yet
become the leading and favorite
staple. There is as yet, as the
