The ne-Term Principle.

The Boston Advertiser opposes Mr.
Summers proposition to make the Presi-
dent ineligible. for more than one term
This is the conclusion of u long article on
the subject
But aside from experience there are
reasons enough to continue the fallacy OF
the one-term argument. 1t is assumed
that the hope of reelection in the presi-
/ dental mind is an inducement to bad be-
havior. With the eyes of the nation up
on Chief Magistrate, and an active and
interested opposition on the alert to de
tect and magnify his faults, it should
rather be an inducenent to the greatest
caution, and to the best service of which
human nature is capable of performing

exlgencies when it might be desirable to

confidence he has established; or when

A GOOD CHARACTER.

We often hear of individuals who are said
to have started in this world in abject power
ty. This is not strictly true. Without capi-
tai of some sort or other, no man can do any
thing Ifto be moneyless is all that is meant
by abject poverty, then the declaration may
be true. In fact, it is true in thousands OF
cases but money is not the only capital that
is capable of being successfully invested.
Sober and industrious habits are just as ca
pable of being invested as money. Toa young
man commencing the struggle Of life, good
character is worth more than any amount of
money. Not that money is valueless, but
that good character is more valuable.
There are some things that mere money,
with all its power, cannot accomplish. Gold,
with all its glitter, cannot pass disreputable
person, respected, through the higher and more
refined grades of society. There are some
places in the best stages of civilization that a
man cannot work his way by the force of gold
dollars. Money gives US power at the mar
ket, but good name gives US power where
ever we are known.
To young men and boys good name is of
immense value; but to young girls good
name is their all. All the money in the
world will not cover the smallest stain made
upon young girls character. 1t matters not
from whom the fairest face is descended, or to
whom it is related, so soon as it becomes
SCARED with crime, it becomes permanently
ugly.

"ZE D..N POKAIRE -

1t must be told, this story on our French
friend, Monster LIE Blanc, who was a passen
ger on the Strader few days since from New
Orleans. Shortly after leaving the Crescent
City the French gentleman was introduced to
the jolly Western pastime called poker-a
game he did not understand, Nevertheless
he proved to be an apt scholar, and was soon
found 'blufing' and betting with courage
quite astonishing to behold. Monster, howev:
er, was an easy goose to pluck, and, as will
naturally be inferred, he was heavy loser
before reaching St. Louis.
We met and embraced him (Frenchman
fashion, you know shortly after the steamer
had landed at the wharf. We saw he was
greatly troubled in mind. At his request, we
accompanied him to the Southern hotel. On
our way he spoke in sad, mournful tone:
'Ah, my friend, wat is zat game wat you
call like zis? (and he pushed his cane back
ward and forward.)
We at once comprehended.
Poker! That's it, eh?'
'Oui, zat is himp (and banging the cane
down on the sidewalk.) 'D-n him Eat
game cost me one thousand dollaire!
Again we comprehended. Our French
friend had, during his trip up on the strader,
bet too heavily on 'nairy pair, and had suffer:
ed. We patted him on the back, and told
him not to feel discouraged, that he would
have better luck next time.
No, saire he exclaimed, 4 no ask for more
luck. no play no more-what you call
him-pokaire? No, by d-n, no more! l no
more to hear re name of pokaire in my two
earsp
We reached the Southern, when the French.
man, fatigued by his journey, and distressed
at his loss sought his room. The weather was
damp and chilly. He rang the bell, when q
servant appeared for orders.
4 want you to make re fire to burn-1 want
him hot
Aye, sir: can do that with the poker
The Frenchman groaned, and frightened
the boy with look Of savage despair.
'Ycu d-n rascale' he moaned, If you say
pokaire to me will cut your throat off close
to your head!
The servant hastily left, and saw nothing
of the Frenchman until the next morning
when he found him inquiring the way to the
dining hall. He was not yet in the best OF
humor.
.Zis is ze way to ze breakfastY P he asked.
No, sir, that door leads to an ante-room.
The Frenchman became excited and con-
fused. He muttered through his half-closed
teeth
by care, I shall quit zis house. I.ask for
ze make ze fire burn, and you say he want
pokaire. tell you d-n ze pokaire. I ask
for ze breakfast, you show me to re anti.room
l tell you d-n ze anti lose one thousand
dollaire, and no more anti and re pokaire.''
Saying which he hurried down stairs, where
we met him thoroughly convinced that every
body in St. Louis paid more attention to poker
than to any other branch of business.

APPLYING COTTON SEED TO COIN.

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIvAToR THE
inquiry of your correspondent, "May Pop"
in October number, for the best mode of ap-
plying $50 bushels of cotton seed per acre to
corn, in order to obtain the largest increase of
yield, together with your suggestion to broad
cast at least the bulk of them, brings to mind
an experiment incidentally made by friend
few years ago, which plainly showed the
difference between manurng the land and
manuring the crop.
He had 200 bushels of green cotton seed
which he had intended to broadcast on two
acre lot of corn but the heavy-handed freed
man in the absence Of full or we'll understood
instructions, put $50 bushels on one-half of
the patch, and, consequently, there were but
so bushels left for the other half. These 30
bushels being considered by the proprietor too
small a quantity to broadcast, were sown in
the drill after the ground had been broken
up and the rows laid off. The corn on the
part that had but so bushels of cottou seed
grew off great deal earlier than the other,
and was waist high when the broadcast part
was only knee high. The figures are not at
hand, but the final result was largely in favor
of the corn that was manured in the drill.
The plat was of light, sandy soil, unimprov-
ed, and the original growth forked-leaf black
jack 1t was good corn year and no mate
rial injury was sustained from drought.
If "May Pop" wants to permanently i'm
prove his plat, and make large crop the first
year also, he can accomplish his object by
broadcasting stable manure-making heavy
application-and manuring his corn in the
drill with cotton seed. Cotton seed is not
permanent fertilizer and it is poor economy
indeed, positive waste-to put it where it
will not be Immediately available to the crop.
Leaving out the stable manure altogether,
40 or so bushels of cotton seed and 800 pounds
of Peruvian guano per acre would probably
make so bushels of corn, if all be put down
before planting. That figure, however, can
only be reached by the most thorough prepa-
ration of the soil, and judicious cultivation
accompanied with propitious seasons.
That much I have seen produced under
similar conditions on good clay land. The
cotton seed, 40 bushels per acre, were sown in
very deep furrow and ridged on with a
three-inch. bull-tongue shovel the guano was
then scattered on this ridge and covered with
turn-plow. In planting the corn, cotton
drill was run directly over the manure, and
the grains dropped in the drill at an average
distance of II inches, the rows being 5 feet
% inches apart.
In manuring corn at the rate here indicated,
good stand is matter of the greatest i'm
portance To secure this, at least three
grains ought to be put in place. Corn thus
highly stimulated, moves at "double-quick"
and it is essential for every stalk to have an
even start in the race Replanting the mis-
sing hills is sheer waste Of seed, time and
labor. J. A. H.

FEAR IN CH1LDREN.-No pain is more
dreadful to endure than fear. Few parents
realize how much their children suffer from
this cause. "There is nothing to hurt you, D
is an assurance which does not allay the ap-
prehension. Al underlined something, exist
ing often only in the imagination, is the occa-
sion of just as real suffering as the most tan
gible evil could be. This suffering from fear
has much to do with the almost universal dis
like which children have of going to bed.
They are left alone in some chamber, away
from the family-a wise arrangement so far
as quietness is concerned, and judicious on
ly if the child exhibits no fear. But only
those who remember what horrors possessed
the imagination when they, as children, were
left alone in the dark, can fully realize the
suffering of nervous child. II don't mind
your whipping me, father" said little fel-
low who had been repeatedly punished for
crying when put to bed alone, "if you will
only stay with me"
