COTTON AND PROVISIONS.

The question of how much cotton should
be planted this year, will be settled in 9
few weeks. The only advice we have felt
at liberty to offer our readers has been,
make ample preparations for provision
crop, and after that, plant as much cotton
as can be we'll manured, we'll cultivated, and
nicely picked out next fall. Even wher
cotton commands good price, it is doubt
fuf policy to rely on foreign supplies Of
food-the crops of the North West may be
short, or European demands may draw of
the surplus. Moreover, to use homely
but expressive adage, it is not we'll "to have
all our eggs in one nest'-the season may
be a very poor one for cotton, but very gooe
for grain. A farmer should diversity hi
crops-at least up to the point where they
begin to clash with each other. One O
the most serious objections to the cottor
crop, is its incompatibility with other crops
From January to January, its calls are al
most incessant-especially is it dificul
to manage small grain in connection witt
it. Whilst, therefore, we have no disposl
ton to join in an indiscriminate outer,
against cotton, we should be exceedingl,
glad to see the cotton crop brought within
legitimate bounds, and other crops advanced
to their proper dimensions in comparison
with it. In the language of Bishop Pierce
eve protest against the cotton screV
stretching out its long arms, as if it woult
take in all the farm" Another very i'm
portant consideration, which We hope ou1
readers will not forget, is, that farmers wh'
raise cotton to buy provisions, are very
often compelled to force sales of cotton a
ruinous prices. Witness the experience o
1867-one of the most disastrous years IL
the history of cotton planting at the South
and much of that disaster due to the very
circumstance now under consideration

ABOUT MONEY.

My chum pulled out of his pocket half
sheet of paper folded like the back of an
cid letter, and began reading notes there,
in slow and sententious way: "Money
is the concentrated essence of Labor. A
man who has thousand dollars has thou.
sand days work in his one hand. If he
knows it's value he can move about among
men with the force of thousand laborers,
that is, with hundred and twenty horse
power.
"To know the force of money, one must
know labor.
"When one man has money and another
has not, they contend for its possession
This is trade, or robbery, according to cir
cumstances.
'There are three uses of money-the use
of getting it, the use of keeping it, and the
use of spendingit. Consequently it classi-
fies the bulk Of mankind into money-get-
ters, money-keepers, and money.spenders.
Except the misers We read of in novels,
men do not love money for itself any more
than soup tickets, or baggage checks, or
promissory notes, or title-deeds. The love
of money is the pleasure of mental func-
tion in getting, or keeping, or spending.
The sponge and the spendthrift are equally
guilty with the miser.
''The class of money-getters includes
merchants, gold-miners, pickpockets, poll
ticians, and professional beggars. Ameri-
cans are great money-getters, but they do
not care to keep. Hence this is country
of great incomes but small fortunes.
''The class of money-keepers is small.
Literary men are not found I'M it. Lawyers
are good at keeping money, particularly if
| it is other peoples. Money, like some
other essences, has pungent, sweet taste ;
but to be kept, must be corked tightly. 1t
evaporates in the open air, and the yapor
consists in interest. A mortgage is a con-
densing instrument which enables money
keeper to evaporate money-spender.
1.-THE class of money -spenders includes
the majority of mankind. 1t is natural to
spend money before, we get it. We are all
born to this, and cost great deal before
we earn anything. The power to get into
debt is essential to the happiness of all shift
less people, including most of the Govern
ments of Europe. College students and
married women, who have no legal capacity
to bind themselves, satisfy this propensity
by getting their fathers and husbands into
debt, if possible.
"Money is like gunpowder. To make it
carry, charges should be carefully measured
and we'll rammed down. Its explosive
power depends on the tightness with which
you hold it. Scattered loose, it fzzles
away with no effect.
"To become wealthy, one must both get
and keep. To be useful, the wealthy man
must be also a judicious money-spender.' -

THE LAST TENNESSEE MONSTER.

Our sister State of Tennessee is becom-
ing famous for sensations in the line of
horrid beasts and buried cities. The mon
ster snake captured last fall is now eclipsed
by wonderful frog recently discovered
and captured in a cave few miles from
Columbia, in Maury county. MIR. A. T.
N. Matthews, and his brother Lem Mat
thews, vouched for by the Columbia Her
aid, as truthful citizens, tell the story -
The frog was first discovered by party Of
boys, whose curiosity led them into the cave,
and whose fright impelled them to more
hasty exit. A party of gentlemen then
essayed to test the report of the boys, found
the animal, and were driven back by ten
feet leap it made in their direction. The
rest of the story is given as follows:
Mr.. Porter having some matches, the
candles were lighted, and with the light
came back the courage of the little boys.
An advance of few steps brought us in
sight of the monster again. Mr.. Matthews
sent to his house for large goods box,
which soon after arrived. The box was
dragged in and the top removed. The box
was pushed by Messrs. Dixon and Due to-
wards the frog; Mr.. Matthews, using the
top as shield, succeeded in getting be-
hind the frog, and by throwing stones at it
for some little time, made it change its po-
sition to place near the wall. The box
was then pushed slowly up and covered it
the top was slipped down, the box turned
over and secured by few nails, and the
prize was ours.
Right glad did we all feel at our success,
and with high hearts we commenced the
work of dragging the box out of the cave,
which we accomplished after much labor
and we lifted it into cart and started for
the residence of Mr.. W. D. Matthews, to
have it weighed, as had no balances that
would draw enough at my house. A rope
was tied around the box and the frog and
box were weighed together. The frog was
then turned out into a chicken coop and
the box weighed, and showed that the frog
weighed ninety-three pounds.
will be willing to make an affidavit Of
this fact before any Justice of the Peace in
Maury county. Those present who saw
the weighing can attest to this. 1t is, ]
dare say, as rare a curiosity as was ever
found in our country before. Mr.. Mat
thews measured it while it was in a sitting
posture, and its height was exactly three
feet four inches. Its eyes, as near as we
could guess, were two and one-half inches
| e H. n,
belly was dark yellow, while its back was
a dark green, and apparently mossy
around it's neck are two distinct red and
one dark stripe. From the centre of the
head, or rather commencing from the TOP
centre of the nose, there are apparently
thousand light stripes sprangling out from
common centre like rays of light. Its
feet are of large proportions and are per-
fectly black.

AN EASY PLAcE.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, some time since, received let
ter from young man, who recommended
himself very highly as being honest, aad
closed with the request: "Get me an easy
situation that honesty may be rewarded" "
To which Mr.. Beecher replied:
"Do not be an editor if you would be
easy. Do not try the law. Avoid school
keeping. Keep out of the pulpit. Let
alone all ships, stores, shops and merchan-
disc. Abhor politics. Keep away from
lawyers. Do not practice medicine: Be
not farmer nor a mechanic; neither q
soldier nor sailor. Don't study. Don't
think. Don't work. None of them are
easy. O, my honest friend, you are in a
hard world! know of but one real easy
place in it. That place is the grave"
