EFFECTS OF TIE HARD TIMEs.-Peo-
ple can draw consolation even from
trouble. Many observing people now
say that the hard times of 1871 may
prove il blessing to the people OF the
South. We think so.
Hard times teach economy, teach in
dustry, teach self-reliauce. When
poverty pinches, debts press. and the
sheriff is ut the door, the children are
taught that they cannot live IN idle
ness, cannot have money to spend for
useless PLEASURES, that they must de-
pend upon themselve and sink or
swim on their own account. They do
not wait to inl crit fortunes, but study
and labor to make fortunes of their
own. If the South would save the
odds and ends which are and always
have heen thrown away, it would make
tie county independent in ten years.
If the Sonrhern people would but place
the true value on dime or picayune,
it would be the beginning of prosper
Ous times. The South wastes forty
million dollars yearly, in her cotton
seed kernel, and many millions in beg
asse, and saccharine matter i'll begasSe.
millions in ashes in the sugar regions
alone, millions in bones and other fer.
tilizers, millions in purchasing pro.
duce, horses, mules, etc, from North
ern and Western farmers, which coult
be raised on Southern soil, millions il
, usury on Northern capital.
Hard times are correcting some o
these things, and may lead to final in
! deucndeuce and continual DrosperitV
, Adversely is said to be a good school
master, though hard one Planters
