BAD Debts,

No position in the world requires a
greater amount Of ability and prudence
thar that of the merchant. No profess
sion demands closer attention and more
constant supervision, and in none is there
so large an amount Of apprehension and
anxiety. The career Of the merchant is
essentially game Of skill. Without
ability it is almost impossible he should
succeed, and without the strictest atten-
tion to details there is no hope Of sue
cess. Yet how futile does it seem that a
merchant should labor all the year round
to accumulate profits, and find at the end
of the year that the balance to his credit
is greatly lessened by bad debts. He la
bors to no purpose for the extension OF
his business, if the result Of increased ex.
ertions is counterbalanced by increased
losses. There is no department Of busi,
ness which requires greater watchfulness
and none in which there is greater iiabil.
ity to failure than in granting credits
The firm that continually assumes hazard
GUS accounts is certain to collapse. The
experience has been, and always will be-
that no matter how profitable may be the
prices obtained, they will never compen'
safe for improper risks. Besides tie pros
poets of positive loss from weak accounts
the anxiety and increasing exertion which
they necessitate is most trying.

Listen to the MOcking Bird.

One of the most merciful phAscE Of
American legislation is that which cares
for the singing bird. 1t is the property
of this chorister that he combines in his
nature the useful in equal proportions
with the entertaining, feasting vigor-
ously, in fact, on slugs, beetles, moths,
field-lice, and other such enemies OF veg
citation, when not charming the AIR with
his dulcet carols. In France the Code
Civile, thanks to the kind provision Of
its founder, the great Napoleon, has =
set title for the protection of birds, and
in some late legislation in Iowa the Same
mild extension is made to the Rgis OF

bird, lark and wren, are ut liberty to
chirp unmolested in our Northwest, and
in plea to the oncoming Legislature
of Georgia voice is raised for the mock
ing bird. The young Of these birds arc
invariably taken from the nest N soon
as found and sent to the North or to
Europe, where they sell at high prices.
and as every brood thus disposed Of is
withdrawn from production q sensible
diminution in the number Of these glo-
rious warblers is noted. Reckless boys,
also, Just learning to use o gun, and
careless how sweet voice is stilled so
long as they make the feathers fly, not
unfrequently kill the mocking bird with
as little compunction as the crow; and
then there are others again who trap
him, though perfectly well assured tho
| full grown bird can never accustom him
self to captivity, and will beat out his
little life against the bars Of the cage.
Despoiling OF the nest, however, is the
great wrong. Only few days since
our local columns noticed a consignment
of two hundred young birds ON single
steamer, and the figures may give some
idea OF the extent to which this spoila-
ton is carried. To prevent the vandal-
ism kindly heart has found room i'll
the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist to
call upon the Legislature OF the State
which assemblies in November--for some
preventive measure, and we trust our
American nightingale may not have ths
voice raised in his favor in vain.- N.

Opium Raising in Tennessee.

The Toledo Blade says: DIR. J. W. Nor
ton, gentleman residing in Nashville,
has for several years past given conSid-
erable attention to the culture Of opium
in Tennessee, in order to stimulate
which he sent abroad for different kinds
ofseeds, and distributed them gratuiously
among his friends and neighbors. 0w-
ing TO the lateness of last years planting
the crop of 1870 proved failure, which
was, perhaps also due to the inferior
quality Of the the soil. To obviate this
difficulty, he obtained seed this year
from Calcutta and Smyrna, for which he
paid as high as $3.50 in gold per ounce.
The crop of the present season has been
success, and the doctor will harvest
from fifty to seventy-ive pounds Of OPT
um per acre, from which he will no doubt
realize n handsome profit. Another
gentleman, Rev. Fountain e. Pitts, who
has followed the example set by DIR.
Morton, and also extensively engaged in
the culture Of the popy, reports similar
success. After three years trial he Suc-
ceeded in raising the best opium popy
seed from Symrna, which he planted in
good land, and now cultivates in pretty
much the same manner as cotton. When
the capsules are ready to scarify, he makes
an incision in one side, and the next ev-
ening scrapes off the gum, which has,
when first gathered, the appearance of
cream. Incisions are then made on the
opposite sides of the capsules, and the
process of gathering repeated the follow
ing evening, which exhausts the capsules
A few hours after the opium is gathered
it turns dark purple color, which con-
tinues to grow deeper until the charac-
teristic opium color is reached. As long
as opium and its products remain med
ical necessity, we may rs well congratu-
late ourselves that it has been demon,
strated that we can raise it ourselves,
and thus probably do away with impor-
ting this expensive drug from foreign
countries; but of all existing remedies,
the ultimate benefit derived from which
is of doubtful kind, and which causes
probaly more injury in propotion to the
good it accomplishes, opium, next to
whisky, takes the foremost rank.

An Unblushing Criminal.

Charleston has recently witnessed an
extraordinary spectacle, and one which
marks the decay of her grandeur. Cha
teaubriand tells that the ruins of the
once magnificent cities of Oriental coun-
tries are new the lurking places of the
beasts of the desert and of unclean birds
that congregate and revel amid their
ruined turrets and crumbling walls
Charleston, the once proud and beauti-
full Queen of the South, seems about re-
alizing the same destiny. The culprit
Bowen, who was snatched from the por-
tails of the penitentiary by a corrupt and
partisan President whose sympathy with
the most odious crimes prompts him to
sacrifice the most solemn obligations oi
public duty-this Bowen having return
ed to Charleston, received grand owl
ton at the hands of his squalid and ab-
ject associates. A large concourse, we
are told, gathered about his harem and
insisted on his occupying a carriage pre-,
pared for his transportation to the Mar.
ket Hall. A large crowd marched in
front and another equally as large fol
lowed behind, cheering most yociferously
while martial bands played the trium-
phant refrain, "Hail to the Chief; the
conauering hero comes" Upon reach
ing the hall this shameless and polluted
criminal reeking with the odours of hi,
sin, arose, and after alluding to the
clouds that dimmed his pathway ex,
claimed:
II thank God and the President Of
these United States, these clouds have
passed away and we are once more per-
mitted to stand face to face in the old
city of Charleston, where we so often
met our common enemy. No one, un-
less our enemies, for moment doubts
that the prosecutions through which /
have passed were brought about for po-
liticnl purposes"
He said that the attacks OF tho oppo-
sitlon press lie nud horne with the for
titude of man feeling his inability to
cope with hellish combinations; but il
they seek to assail the principles OF the
republican party through him, they
would find themselves in the position o.
the proud archer who shot his arrow at
the sun; the luminary moved on, but
the arrow returned and cleft the head o.
the archer.
This, too, took place in tho city hal
at Charleston, which had SO often rune
with the pure logic of Calhoun and re
sounded with the brilliant rhetoric O
the gifted LeGaire; which had shool
with the plaudits Of audiences convulsec
by the sparkling and powerful eloquenc'
Of Hayne and of Preston. 1t was lik'
finding toads and filthy things wallow
ing amid the dust where some classic
fountain once gushed in brilliant cur
rents and sparkling cascades. Nothing
could have been more mournfu to tn
heart or disgusting to the eye; nothing
could have sunk deeper in the soul o
some ancient and respected resident o
that city which was for so long the sea
of elegance, OF wit, of culture and o
genius TKentuckian.

Mother,

Around the idea Of ones mother the
mind Of man clings with fond affection.
1t is the first dear thought stamped upon
our infant hearts, when yet soft and ca
pable of receiving the most profound i'm
pressions; and all the after feelings are
more or less in comparison. Our pas
sions and our wilfullness may lead us
far from the object Of our flial love; we
may become wild, headstrong, and an
CRY at her counsels or opposition; but
when death has stilled her monitory
voice, and nothing but calm memory re-
mains to recapitulate her virtue and her
deeds, affections, like flower beaten to
the ground by a rude storm, raises up
her head and smiles amid her tears.
Round that idea, as we have said, the
mind clings with fond affection; and
even when the earliest period OF our loss
forces memory to be silent, fancy takes
the place of remembrance, and twines
the image of our departed parent with
garland of graces and beauties and vir-
tues, which we doubt not that she pos
sessed.

At this season many persons suffer
terribly from the eruption called prickly
heat. So familiar is it, that all persons
know it. 1t is caused by the solid, per-
spirable matter not passing of in dis
solved state, as should be the case. 1t
is easily cured in one day by using the
warm bath for ten minutes, then rub
bing the affected part with lemon juice.
Then warm water dissolves the salts
that are lodged under the skin; 30 does
the lemon juice. When the eruption
stings and burns, lemon juice rubbed on
the part affected will give relief in few
moments. Possibly strong apple vine-
gar might act in the same way. Per-
sons who cannot get lemon Juice might
use nitric acid dissolved, twenty grains
to an ounce Of water.
