If the South shonld push her
production of cotton beyond
three million of bales, the
worlds supply will exceed the
demand and the aggregate val
ne of the crop remain stationa-
ry. In other words, 3,OO0,OUc
bales will sell for $500, 900, 800,
but an addition of 500, 900 bales
will not add much, if any, to
the foreign aggregate value.
It is trne, abstraciiy, tlat
cheap prices will : inaiate cen
sumption, so as to eul;trge the
demand sufficiently 10 absorb
additional supplies. but this
law of commerce only comes in
play to a great extent when
production has become unprof-
liable, and will cease as soon
as prices return to a handsome
paying rate to the planter. II
is, therefore, a question wheth'

With Madge.

Alone with Madge-with sculptured death
While flowers exhale their languid breath,
Alone in bushes of the night,
With marble mystery, shrouded white.
Like spirits wave the ailiies tall
And bending DER the garden wall,
The willow weeps for her who lies
In awful state, with shadowed eyes.
She wears her robe ofsatin sheen,
With laces rare, and all between
Its folds of richest, purest dye
The palliG moen beams softly lie.
wonder if the roses fair,
Haunting with fragrance all the air,
Blow winter DER the garden bowers,
Through these solemn midnight hours
Blow winter for her burial day,
When low beneath the broken clay
Their velvet petals gently rest
Upon the marble of her breast.
Alone with Madge, whose pulseless heart =
Was once of mine the better part
Young, dead and cold ill lifes fair noon,
Beneath the skies of bloomy June.
Alone with Madge-but word Of mine
Can never break her trance divine,
Her veiled eyes behold afar
Beyond the range of moon or star
The sapphire walls and jasper floor,
Where saints with folded wings adore,
With music of the circling spheres
viii roll through all the coming years

Female Society.

JOnn Randolph, the eccentric
statesman and orator of Vir-
ginia, never uttered a truer re-
mark than this: ''Without fe-
male society we should degen-
crate into brutes." Every day
we are more forcibly impressed
with the truth ef this obserya-
ton, and the young men of the
present day, especially, have
need to ponder these Words
The gentleness of manner, the
sweetness of disposition, the
purity of her nature, and her
natural grace and dignity, are
the irresistible charms which
will prove the salvation of a
majority of those who come
within the sphere of her infu-
ence, for the love and society
of o virtuous, intellectual lady,
is the most effectual safeguard
young men can have against
the temptations so prevalentin
crowded cities. 1t is true, that
men, immersed in business or
absorbed in literary pursuits, or
In the search for political hon.
ors. may, after a manner, live
without the refining, elevating
companionship of the other sex,
but such an isolated existence
is imperfect at best, and there
is no real, heartfelt happiness
to brighten it. Man was not
made to live alone, and despite
his pretended cynicism and dis
like Of woman, he often yearns
for a quiet home, irridated by
the smile of some chosen one,
as the sunlight illumines the
lonely vafe, and his soul is sad
and lonely, without the congo
NAL mate that Heaven design
ed should be his from the be-
ginning. Then in the hour of
trouble, of sickness-what is
man without the tender minis
trations, the soothing presence
and gentle voice of a household
angels her confding ways, her
tenderness, aye helplessness, all
render her inexpressibiy dear,
and the true husband feels in
the depths of his heart, that
life would have no charm with
out her society. All! thank
God for women! This is the
utterance that springs involun-
tarify TO every heart that has
felt the holy power of her love
and presence. With her to lead
one away from the vices and
vanities that beset us, our
heart will grow tenderer, purer
and better day by day. Far
