- $300PER ACRE.-Most ofou
planters run themselves to
death to raise a half bale of cot
ton per acre, which, after un-i
ceasing wear and tear of soul
and body and mule flesh, they
manage to harvest and sell for
$35 Or $40. They begin the crop
on the first of January, and
Christmas day generally finds
them in a stew about it. Our
friend, DR.. John Oswald, living
near Waterford, in Marshall
county, has, we learn, realized
the handsome sum offs $500 from
one acre of ground, and that,
too, without any unusual labor,
and without any vexation. He
planted his ground in onions,
Of which he made an ordinary
crop, and for which he found a
ready market. From one to
three Hundred bushels of onions
can be raised on every acre Of
Marshall land, and they can be
sold readily at from $3.50 to
$500 per . bushel.-[ Holly

PROFITS OF GARDENING
There is a family Of Germans
consisting of three brothers,
who cultivate. cabbages on the
shores of Lake Pontchartrain,
just above Frenief Station, on
the Jackson Railroad. They
have shipped to New Orleans
within the past year not less
than $4,000 worthof cabbaees.
The profits derived from the
sale of cabbages average $4,000
or'$6000 per annum for every
male personin the litGle settle
ment around where these bro
theirs reside. Such statements
may seem exaggerated, but can
be fully proven. Let active and
industrious. Germans in the
North and West remove to the
vicinity of New Orleans, where
land is exceedingly cheap, and
devote their attention to the
raising of vegetables, if they
would acquire wealth rapidly

Habits.

tfi@ - - =
It is difficult to impress on
the young, the Importance Of
things they know nothing Of
by experience; but if the pow
er of habits can be taught them
by an interminable ding-dong,
the lesson ought to be rung into
their ears every day of their
young lives. There is nothing
so iindomitable as q habit,
whether it be good, or bad, and
particularly if it be bad. Good
habits sometimes drop away
from us like an old garment
that. we have become tired of;
but a bad one is apt to cling to
us like a cocklebur on the back
of a sheep. The reason may be
that bad habits come naturally
to our fallen nature, while good
ones are contracted and main
tanned only by a constant effort;
and when the effort ceases, the
habit ceases with it. IF young
people would save themselves
a world of trouble and sorrow,
let them look to theirimanners,
of body, mind and morals. 1t
is not very difficult to contract
good habits in diet, in behavior,
in. business, in reading, in the
methods ofrefection and study,
and in those Qualifications that
involve morals, in the time of
youth, when the plastic nature
easily takes the impress of in
fluences around it; and then is
the time when the youth, by
his own exertions, and rein
forced by all the aid that friends
can lend him, should strive to
fall into wholesome practices;
and then is the time above all,
when he should strive with all
his might and main to avoid
bad ones. One or two evil
habits contracted then will ad-
here to him all through life, il
not severed with blood and
tears, by a desperate effort. al

with one Of these bad habits il

Fruit and Vegetable Business
The completion of the rail-

The completion of the rail-,
road bridge at Louisville, Ky...
and the arrangements made to-
cross the Mississippi with load~
ed cars from Columbus, KY. to
Belmont, No., will enable us to
ship our fruits and vegetables
by rail, at reduced rates, direct
ly to Cincinnati, Chicago and,
St. Louis. By means of refrig-
Grating cars our most delicateF
fruits, like the strawberry and
fig, can be delivered anywhere,
on the networks Of Western
railroads, in perfect condition.
If it pays to ship j, fruits from,
California to New York, it must,
be enormously. profitable to.
ship the same kinds Of truit7-7,
grapes pears, peaches and
equally delicious,
and earlier ripened, from Loui-r
siana to Chicago, not one-third
the distance.
There is no reason why the.
people of the West should not
enjoy. our delicious oranges
from October until May, our
strawberries from December
until June, or figs, peaches,
pears and melons in June, and
our spring, peas, corn, tomat--a
toes, considerably earlier than
they can be, obtained from the
Carolinas for the New York
market, to say nothing Of the
various tropical fruits which
should be shipped from the
West Indies through New Orr
leans.
This lucrative business, re-
quiring but little capital, and
bringing quick cash returns, is
capable, it will be seen, Of in D.,
definite extension, It. # must
soon give employment to an,
immense number of people in,
Louisiana .o'l1slaf a Bssl.ia4sil zni1 rsb
In addition to the shipment
of ripe fruits, the canning and
drying of fruits for market is
also an easy and profitable em-
ployment. The Celeste fig is
being extensively ''put up,pf af7v
ter the manner Of French pre-
pared fruits. It is believed that
the sweet potato can be peeled
and dried by machinery SO as
to preserve all its excellent,
