Boy Wanted.
boy Wanted-=at this Office to-
morrow morning"
At the time indicated a host Of
boys were in waiting at the gate.
All were admitted, but the overseer
was perplexed as to the best way of
choosing one from so many, and
said he
"Boys, I only want one and here
are a great many; how shall
choose?"
After thinking q moment he invi-
ted them all into the yard and driv-
ing a nail into one of the large
trees and making q short stick, told
them that the boy who could hit the
nail with the stick, standing a little
distance from the tree, should have
the place. The boys all tried hard
ard after three trials each signally
failed to hit the nail. They were
told to come again next morning,
and this time when the gate was
opened there was but one boy, who,
after being admitted, picked up the
stick and throwing it at the nail
struck it every time.
"How is thisT' said the overseer; ;
"what have you been doingY'
And the boy, looking with tears
in his eyes, said:-
"You see, sir, have a poor old
mother and I am a poor boy; I have
no father, sir, and I thought I
should like to get the place and so
help her all can, and after going
homeyesterday 1 drove nail into
the barn and have been trying to
hit it ever since, and I have come
down this morning to try again"
The boy was admitted to the
place. Many years have passed
since then and now that boy is a
prosperous and wealthy man and at
the time of the accident at the Penn
berton Mills he was the first to step
forward with a gift Of one hundred
thousand dollars to relieve the suf-
ferers. His success came by perse-
yerance.

The man whose first bet on the

they must do something to support
the family, to help them along; then
two feelings arise which are their

TIE PRosPEcrs oFGHE SOUTHERN
COTTON PLANTERS.
Eromthe Savannah RepubNcan.

Whatever may be the present troubles OF
aplanters III the cotton States, from all ihforma-
ton wehtve been able TO gather their pros
poets are brighter and more encouraging than
they have been q. anytime since the close, OF
the war. They may be, and are, cramped new,
but we shall DE greatly mistaken n ii they.donot
realize more money and comfort from the
growing crop than they have:any year inthe
last FIVE. And it Will arise manly from the
simple fact That the crop is not mortgaged 10
advance. Several points may be speciaed as
| contributing 10 this result.
In the first place. discouraged by the low
price Of cotton and the. highSprice of proyis-
ions lastyear, they'are giving less attention to
the formerand greater attention TO the latter.
The provision crop, throughout the South, will
be abundant. and hence, after deductipg the
| price of production, which will be compare.
lively small, nearly the entire proceeds Of the
cotton crop will be money in hand.
In the second place, there Will be less pro.
visions to buy the present year. Planters will
ta.get along with the least amount possible;
while that which they are compelled to have
viii cost hem from twenty to fifty per cent.
! less than it did last year. Our corn and bacon
quotations will sustain this statement.
In the third place, the planters are more
! economical than heretofore and the great
body of them could not GO in debt ii they would.
u lSoU CNo a u NAEA3R SbS SAS NHS A"S
tors as well as to themselves, and, asa gener-
al rule, they are cautious and limited in their
advancements.
Another important reason is, the planters
tits year. in; regulating their plantation eX-
pepses, have based their calculations on the
| min1nallnl, and not on the maximum price Of
the staple. Should cotton bring only twelve
to fourteen cents. they will, lor. this reason,
make money; whereas The same price for last
years crop. made on a different calculation,
came pretty near starving them.oQt! To this
consideration. add the prospect ofaiYery short
crop, fully a million bales less than that of last
year, as estimated by the most competent
judges, and we have q large addition to the
actual pecuniary receipts of the.planter from
his years labor.
We think these calculations reasonable and
lair. and We are GID TO be able to say con-
scientiously something for the encouragement
OF our IN fortunate tiliers of the soil: Under
no circumstances. though, should they allow
the promises of the future to tempt them
| from their present path of industry and rigid
economy in all things. This. with a plenty Of
bread every year oil their own producing, will
soon put them on their feet again and render
them Independent.
