GAMBLNG.-No passion can lead
to such extremities, nor involve 4
man in such a complicated train of
crimes and vices, and ruin whole
families so completely, as the bane-
fulrage for gambling. 1t produces
and nourishes allimaginable Disgrace
ful sensations; it is the most fertile
nursery Of covotousness, envy, rage,
malice, Discrimination, falsehood, and
foolish reliance on blind fortune it
frequently leads to fraud, quarrels,
murder, forgery, meanness, and
despair; and robs us in the most
objectionable manner of the greatest
and most irrecoverable treasure
TINE. Those that are rich act fool
ishly in venturing their money in
uncertain speculations; and those
that have not much to risk, must
play with timidity, and can not long
continue to play unless the fortune
of the game turns, as being obliged
to quit the field at the first heavy
blow; Or if they stake everything
to force the blind goddess to smile
upon them at last, madly hazard
their being reduced to instant beg
gary. The gambler but rarely
dies a rich man; those that had
the good fortune to realize some
property in this miserable way, and
continue playing, are guilty Of a
twofold folly. Trust no person Of
that description, of whatever rank or
character he may be.

LITTLE SINS.

There are two ways of coming
down from the top of a church-stee-
pie one is to jump down, and the
other is to come down by the steps !;
but both will lead you to the bottom.
So, also, there are two ways of 60
ing to perdtion; one is to walk into
it with your eyes open few people
do that; the other way is to 60 down
by the steps of little 8j"S, and that
way, fear, is only too COMMON
Put up with few little sins, and
you will soon want a few more ;
even heather could say: "Who
ever was content with only one sin "
and your course will be regularly
worse and worse every year. Well
did Jeremy Taylor describe the pro-
gress Of sin in a man, First, it
startlos him, then it becomes pleas
ing, then easy, then delightful, then
frequent, then habitual, then con-
frmed. Then the man is impeni-
tent, then obstinate, and then he is
damned. Young readerl the devil
only wants to get the wedge of lit
tie allowed sin into your heart, and
you will soon be all his own. Never
play with the fre-never triAe with
little sins.

HOW TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS

HOW TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS.
In the first place, make up your
mind to accomplish whatever you
undertake decide upon some par
ticular employment and persevere in
it. All difficulties are overcome by
assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your
own hands, and diligently, too. "A
cat in gloves catches no MICE lie
who remains in the mill grinds, not
he who goes and comes.
Attend to your business; never
trust another. "A pot that belongs
to many are ill-stirred and worse
boiled"
Be frugal. "That which will not
make pot will make lid. y "Save
the pence and the pounds will take
care of themselves.
Be absteminous. "Who dainties
love shall beggars prove"
Rise early. "Tho sleepy fox
catches no poultry "Plough deep
while sIuggards sleep, and you will
have corn to sell and keep.
Treat every one with respect and
civility. 'Everything is gained and
nothing lost by courtesy" "Good
manners insure success"
Never anticipate wealth from any
other source than labor +; especially
never place dependence upon be-
coming the possessor of an inheri-
lance. 'He who waits for dead
mems shoes may have to go along
time barefoot"
''He who runs after shadow hath
q wearisome race
Above all things never despair
God is where he is. she helps
these who truly trusts in Him."

FOR THE JOURNAL
HOME IMPROVEMENT

The subject of home Improvement
may include variety of heads, but
we intend only to notice one or two
of them at present. We mean the
development of the natural resources
of our country and the improvement
of her facilities for trade and com
merce. We need in the South min
ers possessing scientific and practi-
cal knowledge to unearth our stores
of coal, iron, gold and copper; we
want enterprizing and perseverlng
men to drain our swamps and secure
thousands of acres of our richest
lands to ourselves and coming gen
erations. Besides this we need
those who will cut canals to connect
our rivers; we want men to build
our railroads. to remove Instructions
from our harbors and the mouths of
our great rivers, and to establish
manufacturing companies all over
the land. We wish to see our ag-
ricultural products increased aud our
barren hillsides in a state of cultiva-
ton. Where ought the South to
seek for these necessarie5 to pros
perity9
Some will say we need foreigners,
Germans, French, Irish or Chinese
to work for us and do our labor and
improve our advantages of position,
sc. Although foreigners would no
doubt do something in the way Of
improving our country, yet we fear
this plan Of getting them to do for
us what ought to be done, would not
do SO wellin the end. Thousands
of these people would by industry
soon outstrip us in the race for
wealth and soon be in a position to
dictate terms to our people. We
would then see our best lands in the
hands Of :heso nations and we would
be worse off after we got them than
before they come.
No, the South only needs to help
herseIf-that'S the plan. Let us re.
fy upon ourselves, and with the as
sistance of the negro, we may, by
degrees, slowly but surely rise to
the position of the most important
section of the United States. But
suppose the colored people refuse to
labor with us for the internal i'm
provements of our country, which
we hope they will not do, let us go it
alone. Let our people advance eau
tiously, with an eye to the avoiding
of debts and develop little by little
the vast resources Of our Southern
land. Look at the improvements in
the Northern and Eastern sections Of
our country and strive to rival and
excel them in internal prosperity
We can do it for we have by far the
advantage over them in natural po-
sition. This advice can be followed,
and hope that it will be followed at
an early date by the South in gen
eral and by Georgia and Cobb coun-
ty in particular. Yes, there is great
room for Improvement in farming,
&c, in our own county and our peo-
pie should see that internal improve
ment is by no means neglected in
Cobb. w. Z. ).

COTTON PLANTING.

To insure 1000 lbs seed cotton
per acre-rain or no rain--take a
two horse Collins turning plow or
any similar one, and run a furrow
from 6 to 10 inches deep and follow
in the same furrow with subsoiler,
and continue this plan until your
field is finished. This leaves your
ground broken to the depth of II or
5 inches, the deeper the better, and
perfectly smooth, light and porous
with no furrow visible. This done.
in early winter is best on account of
the freezes, but if not done then, in
calcuiable benefit is to be derived,
if done now, your field is left upside
down the soil is disintegrated and
pulverized-the poisonous grasses
escape, chemistry is called into play
and that earth which has lain unin-
tegrated and unexposed since the
creation, is now basking in the gen
ial warmth of the sun and open to
the vitalizing and fertilizing infu-
ence of the light and air and these
influences will become more and
more fertile until the planting seas
on. As soon as you complete this
blowing, enter your field with
wide, long shovel-one mule will
easily pull it, and lay off your ground
in deep burrows according to its fer
tility. If it is rich, let your rows
be from 4 to 6 feet apart-if poor
or ordinary, 3 feet, 3 inches-the 8
inches is an old rule for marginal
variation--to be sure of three feet.
Then comes the manuring. If
you use Guano, let one hand
with trumpet or a Dow Laws
| planter, if you wish, follow the pillow
he can keep up casily-and scat
ter in the bottom Of this furrow about
the 10th of a ton of Guano. Let one
ton manure ten acres. Upon the
Guano throw all the manure you can
rake up of every description, OBJ
serving that too much compost may
burn or fire the plant, Il mixture of
compost with woods mould and all
the rich earth you can collect, is adj,
visable. If you have a sufficient
quantity of the mixture land you
will have if you try fill up the fur
row.
Farmers generally plant before
they are ready. You can dispense
with Guanos but it natures your
cotton. The manurins ended, take
an ordinary turning pillow and throw
two burrows upon the one laid off,
and let the list lie until planting,
which is about the 10th or 18th of
April. When ready to plant, enter
the field with the same shovel with
which you laid off and throw up the
two remaining burrows in the un-
broken middle, which plows your
ground afresh-brealls out the mid
dies and covers your list with fresh
earth. Open your ridges with
scooter, just over the manure, so
that you do not disturb or pillow itup,
scatter your seed in the bottom of
this furrow and if you wish top
manuring, spread upon the seed and
among them about 60 lbs Of super
phosphate to the acre, or roll your
seed either in that amount Of Guano
or good ashes, cover them with a
forked plow-two small hoes, about
2 inches broad and 6 inches long,
your cotton comes up in a beautiful
ridge, green, vigorous and big stem
med, betokening the early attention
of the skillful chopper and sider.-
This system will insure 1000 pounds
per acre, and the bolls all open clear
to the top.

THE ISSUE AND THE TRUE DEN
OCRACY.

oCRACY.
The following, from the MARIETTA
JOURNAL, comprises, in nutshell,
the whole gist of the argument be-
tween the Democrats and their
milder brethren, the mush-and-miIk
Conservatives. 1t presents the IS
sue precisely: -Savanaab NelcS.
The Era says, awe arrive at the
conclusion that there is not now a
single hping issue between the ac-
experimentation Democrats and
the Republicans"
How can there be2 The one ac-
complished usurpation, the other re-
cognizes it not only as legally dc
tact0 but de ju,e, and as a settled
thing. There is only one kind OF
Democrat who differs from the Rad
zeal. He must be of the Frank
Blair stamp--one who denounces
the usurpation as unconstitutional,
null and void" He who accepts IT
has no Constitution, and consequent
ly no political principle, and is GER
tainly no better than Radical.
There is no sort of confidence to
he placed in the Democracy Of any
man who is willing to accept the sit
uation forced upon the country by
Radical bayonet rule, and nothing
short "of the Frank Blair stamp" is
worth continental cent. Blair
breaches the genuine Democracy
Let it be called ret hot Democracy if
such a term better express the true
principles of the party. The strong
err i. is the better for the country
The more distinct the Democratic
party stands out to itself, as the eX-
ponent of the true American concep-
tions of civil liberty, in contradis-
tinction to the centralizing and OPP
prossiye tendencies of the Republi-
can party, the sooner the American
people will rally to its standard.
We want positive, aggressive
Democracy. We want a Democra-
cy free and fearless in righting this
country and tho government to origi-
nal purposes. We want a Constitu-
tional Democracy, and not "higher
law" oligarchy, as the ruling power.
We want a peoples Democracy, that
recognizes the right of the people tc
rule instead of the bayonet. We
want Democracy that will restore
national fraternity and prosperity,
and the Union of equal States with
all the reserved rights Of the Com
mouwealth unimpaired. This is, in
short, the true Democracy.
For "milk and water" accept-the-
situation Democrats, no true Demo
crat can entertain feelings of frater-
nity. They are Evolves in sleeps

In the absence of proper newspaper
news, your correspondent has
rooted with a Paul Pry pertinacity
among the brokers Of real estate, the
committees on public improvements,
the scandal mongers, &c. Allow
me to note down pleasant little al
fair which recently occurred here:
Mr.. E. B. Lee, our genial merchant,
found the calico didn't hurry him at
all hours of the day, and his eye wore
a covetous expression as it rested upon
certain piece of grass located in the
public Park, and right square in front
of his store. Now brother Lee has no
penuriousness in his composition, nei-
ther is he recklessly improvident He
loves to work under minimum pres.
sure, honest gain he diligently reaches
for, so it was, the merchant borrowed
hay tool and cut that grass off to
wards the roots, cured the same, and
tumbled it into heaps ready for the
barn, Sympathising friends watched
the movements Of friend Lee with an
interest akin to brimming enthusiasm.
DR.. George r.. Barrett, at u given sig
nal, interviewed the merchant in his
cellar relative to fine cheese. Dur
ing the cheese negotiations-which
night have been more eXtemporane.
ous-several Hu-hltreS gobbled up
the hay and made for strange barns.
People who were looking at Lee when
he gazed over the Park rails and found
nothing to rest his eyes on but here
and there Il Struggling lock of hay,
state that he bore himself calmly, but
there was no speculation in those
eyes a subscription paper was at
once circulated among our citizens,
scrip rollingi in freely. The presenta
ton was made at the reception room
Of the lngraham House, in the eve
ming remarks congratulatory, cosola
tory and condemnatory were made by
several gentlemen present, and letters
were read, written by interested par
ties who were unable to be present.
Dr. G. r.. Barrett delivered a cheese
essay. Hon, J. n. Mead was expected
to give the company song, but as he
had been in water all day he declined
saying that the effort might peril his
reputation for purity Of voice. The
company then took it straight at mine
host Coles expense and departed. d.
