TREAsUREs.-Every one of us is
treasuring up stores for eternity; the
the good are laying up treasures in
Heaven, whore moth and rust doth
not corrupt, the OWL and impenitent
are "treasuring up wrath against the
day of wrath" What an idea is this
Treasure up wrath Whatever the
impenitent man is doing, he is treas-
uring up wrath. He may be getting
wealth, but he is treasuring up wrath.
Ho may be forming pleasing connec-
tions, but he is also treasuring mp
wrath. Every day adds something to
the heap. Every oath the swearer
utters, there is something gone to the
heap of wrath. Every lilo the liar
tells, every licentious act the lewd
man commits, adds something to the
treasure of wrath. The sinner has q
woightier treasure of wrath to-day
than he had yesterday; he will have
q weightier ono tomorrow than he
has to-day. When ho lies down at
night no is richer in vengeance that
when he arose in tho morning. He ia
continually deepening and darkening
his eternal portion. Every neglected
Sabbath increases his store of wrath
every forgotten sermon adds some-
thing to the weight of punishment.
All the checks Of conscience, all the
rcmonstrances of friends, all that ad-
vice and prayers of parents will be
taken into account, and all tend to in
crease the treasures of wrath laid up
against the day of wrath.-J d.

RETURNING WEALTu.-A careful cs.
timatc. by the Now York cotton bro.
kers, of the forth coming cotton crop,
gives the surplus yield this season At
not less than 100000 bales. The val
NC of the entire crop will not be less
than S250,000,000. Through the me-
dium of successive crops like this tho
South is destined, in a few years. to
recover its old prosperity. A re-or-
ganization Of the system ofmarkctinr
crops since the war enables tho plan.
tcrs TO receive q much !,::...ncr share of
tho proceeds than nvi1re. Now York
and Liverpool havo grown rich and
luxurious from tho commissions char
ged the producer for selling his cotton.
1t used to be said that the cement b.
tween each brick of our uptown pal
aces was moistcned with the sweat of
the Southern laborcr. No doubt
Southern industry did n great deal to.
ward building up the cities of tho
North. Tho larger part of the profits
on a pound of cotton stopped here.
This condition Of things has materially
changed since tho war. Tho South
gets more Of the proceeds of it's toll
than formerly. The distribution off
largo sum rs $250,OO0,OOO over the
South annually, will soon make its
people rich again. In ton years the
sum will more than equal the present
total of our national debt. No doubt
as wealth increases and the people re.
cover the means of working their plan.
tations production will also increase
and at the end of tho decade we have
noted, the South will be raising cot.
ton enough to supply the wants of the
whole world at cheap rate, and with
great profit to itself. What it wants
now Is political quiet, immigration
from Europe, and cheap fertilizers for
tho older States. Fortunately all three
arc promised. The discovery of vast
beds OF q phosphate manure along the
banks of South Carolina rivers seems
almost providential, in view of tho
worn condition Of the cotton lands in
tho Atlantic belt.
