Sound Advice.

|. Hon. Ben II. Hill, one of the Senators
from Georgia, delivered an address lately
in viii ch he said;
with every ingredient more abund-
ant at home, we send to the originally
barren North for fertilizers to give life to
our originally fertile, now deadened soil;
with the finest ores and exhaustless
coal-betls peeping at US from our own
hill-sides, we send North for tools to
work ou fields; with the richest lands on
the cont inent, we send North for bread
to feed our children; with the noblest
trees that ever lifted their tops toward
heaven, if we want finer church in
which to worship, or a more convenient
residence in which to live, we send
North for the plan, for the architect and
for the bui lder. We speRd millions of
dollars sen ding our children North to be
educated, nd refuse the smallest pittance
for the endowment of universities at
home. Our physicians and surgeons
send North for their medicines to heal,
and for the tools that secure skill in
their delicate art. Our lawyers
send North for the books in which
to learn the rule of justice for our peo-
pie. Our preachers send North for COM
mentaries on the Bible to teach their
hocks the way of salvation. Our editors
send North for type to print their papers;
and lawyers, preachers and editors make
long speeches, say long prayers, and fill
whole columns, thanking God for supe-
rior Southern genuine purity and learn
ingl And our politicians, ah shades
of Demosthenes and Cicero, bend down
and hear the matchless periods of true
patriotic eloquence. Our politicians
strut like condescending Jupiters to the
hustings, with Northern hats on their
heads, Northern shoes on their feet, and
Northern coats on their backs, and
prove to gaping crowds their unequaled
fitness for Office, in straining their lungs
as the thunder-gust doth the yielding
clouds, with noisy denunciations of
Northern weakness and greed, and eli
mactic eulogies on Southern power and
independence
"If my humble voice could be heard
by the Southern people / would urge
them to do many things which these very
derided Northern people have done
Endow frst-class universities; provide |
for polytechnic schools in those univer-
sites; honor labor, and make the call
ings of the miner, the manufacturer, the |
metallurgist, the machinist, the agricul- |
turist and the mechanic as learned and |
as honorable as are the learned pro- |
fessions of law, medicine and theology. |
If we do not these things we shall grow
weaker until we be despised as con-
temptible. The stranger = even the
enemy we hate-will come in and pos
sess our heritage; will build up the land /
we neglect, and will be the rulers of the
children we leave behind us.

vested, and to help you make our twenty

five dollars you call the worth of your
days work, while / must labor with
weary limbs and aching head and eyes
to save you one dollar, in mending an
old coat, which, when done, would not
sell for the amount of your ten hours
work"
"You are making out pretty strong
case against me, Lizzie"
No, Frank, not a case against you;
] could not do that; but / am stating
facts. One thing more: | have been at
work three hours since supper, and you
have been entirely idle, not even rocking
the cradle, which / have been obliged to
do halt dozen times"
Lizzie, don't say another word, and
I'll never do SO again." said Frank,
sprnging from the chair to jeg the era
die, where the boy was nesting. You
shall never mend another coat"
Yes, but | will" advancing to the
cradle, "only don't tell me ten hours
work can be done in five minutes, nor
ask me to let the boy squall again"
She lifted Walter from the cradle.
They stopped. to kiss his fair, rosy cheek,
but made q mistake and kissed each
other, while Frank whispered;
" God bless you, Lizzie, never
thought of all this before. won't do
it agar"
Six years have passed by, and Frank
has kept his word.
