Division Of Time.

A Mississippi correspondent of the
Southern Cultivator suggests the adj
vantage of hiring labor on the basis
of a division of time instead of q
division of the crop. He has tried
both plans, and finds the system
greatly preferable to the share plan.
Two years, he divided time, and al
lowed land to his labOrers, giving
them one third of each week, fur
nished them also with one hundred
and fifty pounds bacon per hand.
Lost time was made up by the labor
ers in their own time, or by extra
hands hired. The third year, 1870,
time was equally divided, the laborer
finding himself and family and half
the corn for the teams, the employer
finding land, tools and mules. The
result of the trial being highly salts
factory to both parties for three years,
the suggestion is now before the pub
lie. The hiring season is now at
hand, and in the midst of all the
vexatiOn incident to either money,
wages or crop shares, this new plan
is worthy of consideration and trial.
1t cannot be worse than some of our
present troubles.
We suggested this plan three years
ago; but have never yet seen it tested.
We have no doubt that it would give
more general satisfaction to all con-
cerned than any other system Of en-
plOying observation-disclosures, World

Death.

Soon death will take this chrystal
cup of life and dash it i'm pieces against
the marble of the tomb. A few more
nights and then the night of death
will put its wing over us, and the
cool breeze from the Jordan will
make our sleep sweet. A few more
mornings, and we shall rise from our
beds to dress ourselves in the white
robes of victory and coronation. Into
this world we are born, and our first
utterance is cry; into Heaven we
are born, and our first utterance will
be a song. When the Christian ex-
pires, men say, "close the eyes," but
angles shout, 'give him a palm"
men say, 1--WE must put him in the
ground;" angles cry, "give him q
throneW On earth it is, Farewell!
farewell! In Heaven 1t is, Hail,
and welcomed" 1 take up the full
cup of human tears, and ray from
the throne of God strikes 1t, and /
read thereon, Weeping may endure
for night, but joy cometh in the
morning." . ....

THE myths of geography, as well
as history, are dissolving before the
remorseless criticisms of our age. The
school boys of thirty years ago re-
member well the pictures of the terri
BILE maelstrom off the coast of Nor
way, said to be fatal to all ships COM
ing within its destructive whirl. The
school-boys' faith in this phenomenon
was as strong as the sailors faith in
the Flying Dutchman. But the poetry
has turned to prose i'm this scientific
age, and the whirlpool has lost all its
horrors, like the Scylla and Charyb-
dis of Virgil. A recent traveller says:
There is no such whirlpool as Pom
tipidan As Purchas described, and 1t
is only when the tide-current and
wind at 'loggerheads' in the narrow
straight between Moskenaessoc and
the lofty isolated rock of MOsken,
that any agitation is visible. Some
such circumstance rs this, observed
from the shore, and exaggerated by
The terror of the beholder, doubtless
gave rise to the prodigious legends of
the MaelstrOm.

An exchange says: Mr.. Greedy, on

with hens, double entry. When an
hen lays an egg she runs round the
bases, and when she strikes the home
base, where the bookkeeper is 10
Gated, she sings out Italy one" or
ITALY two" as the case may be, be-
cause some of them are repeaters, and
the bookkeeper gives her credit and
charges her for her meals. In this
way Horace can tell what hens are
Sinking, and how much he makes
on each hen. He says that his ex-
perience is that ROSTERS are glaring
fraud, putting on style all around,
and never laying an egg once In two
weeks.

The object Of this process is to in

bread that the following remarks

Given 100 parts of ordinary wheat,
grinding converts it into 80 parts of
-four fit for seconds bread, and 20

diminishing the weight Of the refuse

The S per cent, which is really the

abandon all efforts to separate this sec
ton from the United States, because no
results have as yet been achieved COM
mensurate with our expectations. The
hope of closing the war by negotiation
has been extinguished. Our resources
are diminishing more rapidly for obvi-
Gus reasons than those of our enemy.
To keep alive such degree of appre-
hension as will lead to the concentration
of large bodies of troops to repress insur-
rection within their own limits will of
itself be an important division in our
favor We should employ money and
talent without stint to give this brood
and civil strife. Let us preserve our
communication with our friends in the
North. Warned by past experience let
us introduce arms more gradually and
cautiously, as far as practicable subsi-
die the leading presses, and through the
ordinary channel of newspapers, as well
as of campaign documents, enlighten
and influence the public mind, and en-
list public men of character and infiu-
ence, whose principles and sympathies
are with us, by indemnifying them
against the hazards to which bold and
decisive action may expose them. With
arms, leaders and an opportunity we
could strike deadly blow. 1t is pro-
per to add that have expressed only
my individual opinions, and do not
know to what extent they would meet
the concurrence of Messrs. Clay and
Thompson.
