Southern Manufactures.

The question of manufactures in
the South is daily growing in lin,
portance, and is attracting the at.
tention Of men of capital and en-
terprise throughout the country
Among those who are giving the
matter the deepest consideration is
the Hon. Amos Lawrence, one OF
the greatest of New England cot.
ton manufacturers, and President
Of the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers and Cotton
Plantcrs," rs well as an economist
Of world wide celebrity. In let.
ter to Gen. Rodgers, of the Ten.
nessee Senate, on tic subject Of
manufactures, he says:
"Ihat your State will become a
seat Of various manufactures no.
body can doubt. 1t seems to be
formed bS nature for that, not less
than. for agriculture. It has all
the requisites IN the greatest abun.
dance; and since yon cannot EN-.
ploy your capital in foreign com
merce, you mnst turn your atten.
ton to this rs soon as you find ont
it can be more profitably invested
than in any other way.
"The old method IF increasing
plantations and plantation hands
having been abandoned, you must
restrict your farming operations to
smaller limits. .
Capitalists will no longer be
farmers as they formerly were,
but you will have farming enough,
for you will raise all you want,
and will have something to send
away. Yonr increasing capital
then must be turned to manufac.
turing and mining. -."
"The more you cap use your
capital in employing the labor OF
the State in manufacturing its nat
ural products, tho more independ-
ent you will be, and the more
wealthy your people will be, the
more intelligent, and if they follow
tho right lights they will not be
less virtnous."--Rentucky Obserp.

lSICnER THAN THE NORTI

RICHER THAN THE NoRrn.-The
New York E:rpreSs thinks that the
South, thanks to 100000 bales
of cotton raised this year-and,
we add, plenty of provisions also
is richer o,day than any other
section of the country. Two and
a half million bales of cotton at
$3.50, 100000, gives the South the
power to command its share of the
currency, as the cotton crop j. one
which finds its principal market
abroad, and prevents an unneccs-
sary expectation of coin. Such a
fact is a most auspicious one for
the South. and will at once have
its influence on capital and popu-
lation, which it invites to the South.
1t enables customers in the South,
who were last year unable to buy,
TO purchase freely during the pres
ent and coming season, and this
is done just now, very largely in
that city. Indeed. the bulk OF
orders in the city are from the
Southern States, and the SJuth
being nearly bare of goods, we are
happy to say they arc very con-
siderable in number.

TIME DOES IT.-Time has a won.
derful power in taking the tconceit
out of persons When a young
man first energies from the schools
and enters upon the career of life,
it is painfully amusing to witness
his selfsufficicncy; he would have
all the world TO understand that
he has ''lcarned ont" that he is
master of all knowledge, and can
unravel mysteries. But as he
grows older lie grows wiser; he
learns that he knows a great deal
less than he supposed lie did; and
by the time he reaches the three.
score years, he is prepared to
adopt, as his own, the sentiment
Of John Wesly: when I was
young | was sure Of everything -;
in a few years, having been mis-.
taken q thousand times, l was not
half as sure OF most things as |
was before. At present, | am
hardly sure of anything but what
God has revealed to maa."

Lucy Stone.

In 1855 she was married to Henry
b. Blackwell, an sEnglishmaI by
birth, who was then hardware
merchant in Cincinnati, Ohio, and
who had for years been identified
with the anti-slavery cause, He
was well educated, honorable
gentleman, and had long been an
ardent admirer Of the brave little
woman, who had never suspected
an attachment of a warmer sort.
When he proposed to her lie said
he wished her TO become his wife
on her own terms. She consented !;
her terms beng the retention of
her maiden name, and the renun
citation on his part of all his legal
rights and authority as husband.
/. Such union could not have
been formidable to her, whatever
it might have been to him. Their
marriage was nothing more than
an agreement to live together
while they were agreeable to each
other, and as there were few bonds
there was little temptation to break
tncm. Perhaps such unions might
&c repeated to advantage between
persons who feel uncertain of O
harmonious future. ...s..
Lucy Stone and her husband
say those who ought tn know
have never repented. They have
lived very happy together for
thirteen years, and are likely to
do so to the last. They have but
one child, daughter, and have
since their marriage resided most
of the time at West Bloomfield,
New Jersey, in the strictest retire
ment.
Lucy sStone--the name of Mrs.
Blackwell always offends hcr-is
very far from handsome. She is
small in stature, has grey eyes, dark
brown hair, well shaped mouth
and handsome teeth. Her com.
plexion is 80 forid as to indicate
rusticity, and her features are not
at all regular, or expressive of
high breeding. Hers is strong
face. and when lighted up loses
much Of its homcliness and strikes
you rs intellectual. Her charm is
in her voice. Turn away from
her and you can well imagine she
is lovely. Look at her critically,
and you almost forget the sweet
tones that have so much to do with
her power of persuasion. She is
extremely kind hearted and
benevolent, and never neglects
any opportunity to do good. She
has been much misrepresented,
ridiculed and abused, but no one
who knows her will say she is not
a true woman, whose aims and
purposes have always been in the
direction of justice, humanity and
right.

The Sick Room.

occasionally whispering to some

intolerable. ........ =.
Another practice, when the pa.
tient is very sick, is that of feeling

a very wise look, sigh and a
whisper. This, too, is intolerable.
A sad mistake, common in a
dying room, is to suppose that the
dying person had lost perception
and also his senses. because un-
able to speak. So far from this
reing the case it is believed that
the perceptions are more keen and
delicate than when in health. AL
ways let it be remembered, in a
dying room, that the departing
friend may hear all and sec ali,

suspect it. How important that
everything in a dling.chamber
should be made what it ought to
be, for the salvation and quiet oi
one who is being broken away
from all dear on earth, and ap,
preaching all that is serious in
eternity. The sacredness and
quiet of the scene ought to be dis.
turbed with great care.
A word more in regard to a
sick room. A great mistake is
made in regard to the length of
prayers, and loud, excited speak
ing in prayers in the sick room.
This is an error, and often an
occasion of great suffering to the
sick.-Church Messenger.

The SCoToH CHURCH IN ROME
In the course of an address deliver
ed in London by DIR. Cumming on
New Years night, he told a story
of the fate of the Scotch Church in
Rome. The Anglicans had a
church here, but it was outside the
city walls. The Scotch, however,
established a church within the
city walls, minister was appoint
ed, and everything went on we'll
that is, without material opposi-
tion. But the instant the last re-
tiring footsteps of the French bat
talions were heard, a message was
sent from headquarters intimating
to the poor Scotch minister that
he must pack up his traps and be
off within twelve hours. A re-
spectful request was sent to the
authorities to ascertain the reason
of this unexpected step, and the
reply was that there was no reason.
The Duke of Argyll, a member of
the Scotch Church happened to be
in Rome at the time, and his good
offices were secured. His grace
went to the authorities and ably
represented the case, but the only
answer he could obtain was non
possumus, which, in more enlight-
cned language, means eve can't
afford it," They had now church
outside the walls, in a granary
over a pigstvc, and were doing
better than when they lived in the
sunshine of success.
