TALK PLAIN .

TT is as much of an impossibility
l. for q Merchant to carry on his
Business without MONEY, as it is
for a Farmer or Mechanic to work
without Tools. This is a plain
fact, and we respectfully beg leave
to urge our friends who are indebt-
ed to us for Supplies and Goods Of
any description to bear this in
mind, and to come FORWARD PROMPT
LY and settle their Bills and Notes.
Cotton is at low price just now,
and there is a probability Of its
going lower therefore, you run a
great risk in holding, while you
may make money by selling now.
It would be much more to our ad-
vantage to pay the Planter 20 cts.
for his Cotton, provided we could
be safe in so doing,) than to give
him the present prices. But you
know we cannot have things our
way.
The Notes you gave us for
SIMS WAGONS are now falling
due, and our instructions from the
Factory is to urge prompt payment
according to your promise.
Our Stock Of Goods is new and
complete, and for Cash or Cotton

Chaste Language.

It is important that children cultivate the
manner of framing their thoughts into words.
The cultivation purifes the thought and e!e-
Yates the moral powers. We clip from Inc
Orphans Friend:
Every word that falls from the lips of mo.
theirs and sisters especially should be pure, and
concise, and simple; not pearls, that fall from
the lips of the princess, but sweet, good words,
that little children. can gather without fears Of
soil. or after shame or blame, or any regrets
to pain through all their life.
Children should be taught the frequent use
of good, strong, expressive words-words that
mean exactly what they should express in their
proper places.
IF child, or young person, has loose,
hung-together way of stringing words when
endeayoriDg to say something, he should be
made to "try again" and see if he cannot do
better,
tits painful to listen to many girls talk.
They begin with "My goodness p and in.
terlard it with "oh's |" and "sakes alive !" and
$50 sweet p and $50 queenly," and so many silly
phrase that one is tempted to believe they have
had no training at all, OK else their mothers
were very foolish women. There is nothing
more disgusting than the twaddle OF ILL bred
girls; one is provoked often into taking up
paper and reading, and letting them ripple and
gurgle on, like brooks that flow they know not
whittier.
Ny heart warns with love for sensible girls
and pure boys and after all, four girls and boys
are not this fear it is our fault that 6his great
trust rests in the heart and hands Of the women
of our land. If we have a noble, useful pur-
pose in life. we will infuse the right spirit into
those around US.

Effects Of Tobacco.

The use of tobacco has so much extended
itself in the present generation that we are all
Obliged to make decision for ourselves on the
ancient controversy between its friends and
enemies We cannot form q reasonable opin-
ion about tobacco without bearing in mind
that it produces, according to circumstances,
one of two entirely distinct and even opposite
classes of effects. In certain states OF the
body it acts as stimulant, in other states as
narcotic People who have a dislike to smo-
king affirm that it stupefes; but this assertion,
at least so far as the temporary consequences
are concerned, is not supported by experience.
Most of the really brilliant conversations that
l have listened to have been accompanied by
clouds of tobacco-smoke and great deal OF
the best literary composition that is produced
by contemporary authors is wrought by men
who are actually smoking while they work.
My own experience is that very moderate
smoking acts as a pleasant stimulus upon the
brain. While it produces temporary lassitude
of the muscular system, not perceptlble IN
times of rest, but an appreciable hindrance in
times Of muscular exertion.
It is better, therefore, for men who feel these
effects from tobacco to avoid it when they are
in exercise, and to use it only when the body
rests and the mind labors. Pray remember,
however, that this is the experience of an ex-
ceedingly moderate smoker, who has not yet
got himself into the general condition of body
Which is brought OF by larger indulgence in
tobacco. On the other hond, it is evident that
men engaged in physical labor find muscular
stimulus in occasional smoking, and not tenn
porary lasstude.
It is probable that the effect varies with in
dividual cases, and is never precisely what our
own experience would lead us to imagine. For
excessive smokers, it appears to be little more
than the tranquilizing of sort of uneasiness,
the corsinual satisfaction of continual crav-
ing. have never been able to ascertain that
moderate smoking diminished intellectual
force but have observed in excessive smo-
kers decided weakening of the will, and
preference for talking about work to the effort
of actual labor. The opinions of medical men
on this subject are so much at variance that
their science only adds to our uncertainty
One doctor tells me that the most moderate
smoking is unquestionably injurious, while
others affirm that it is innocent Speaking
simply from selfobservation, find that in my
own case tea and coffee are far more perilous
than tobacco.-Erchange.

ef surprise that so many farmers boys and
girls die OF consumption. 1t is thought that
abundant exercise in the open air is directly
opposed to that disease. So it is; but judg-

essential to the preservation of health under
any circumstances. When overheated, cool off

Tudr;no from nresent indications q n

Judging from present indications great
many persons will be out of money and en-
ployment the coming winter throughout the
country. There will be much suffering SEN
sitive, quiet people, will endure many hard
ships and privations without making, their
wants known. If our more prosperous citizens
will give helping hand and cheerful word
to the unfortunate, they will Tighten their bur.
dens and warm their hearts, and realize one of
the rearest pleasures-that of making others
comfortable. There is an abundance of every
thing ncedful, and no one should be allowed to
suffer for the want of the necessaries of life.

Some few weeks ago three gentlemen and
lady from Maury put up at an cold deserted
mousse on Buffalo, and remained over during
one night. The citizens of the Immediate

asoertained that the "deserted house" had
been reoccupied-in such an unceremonious
manner. A few res0lute boys concluded to
investigate the object of the "new oumeFs,"
and accordingly they called upon their would
De neighbors, and demanded an explanation.
The three gentlemen were recognized, and
they testified to the character Of the lady.
They were suffered to "depart il peace" BY

TO the Editors of the Herald;
Another week has passed away and gone
into eternity loaded with thousands of noor
soula, never to return to these troublesome
shores again and in its turn, presented many
beauties In the panorama of those parts of cur
county over which have Travelled, together
with much of the suffering and restitution.
am pleased to find in the western and
southern parts OF our county good crops of
cotton, and very favorable prospect for corn
# the good Lord sends US rain very soon, but
If not, think corn will be cut short in most
parts. The people have been and are now en-
loying the hay saving season the crop being
a good one and the season favorable. The
people of the above mentioned parts seem to
be doing very well in point of finances and
eatahles. But how sad we feel when the mind
is met with the appalling fact of the destitu-
ton of these parts in point of scripture. In
visiting three hundred families, found one
hundred and fifteen destitutiOns. How sad is
this. We hear great many eloquent speeehes
made, and see many strong efforts TO raise
money to send the gospel TO the heather,
which is all right and proper, and | glory in a
man who gives literally TO this great cause;
but the demand for home missions seems to be
very great when We see so much restitution ia
our midst, and it is to be hoped that our peo-
pie will contribute largely to supply this want
all over the land, as they are doing in some
parts. s
We called upon the congregation Sunday
night, July 9th, at Mt. Nebo, where we receiv-
ed one of the handsomest contributions /
ever saw given. The congregation was small,
but almost every one gave literally and seemed
glad to have an opportunity to give to such
noble cause. The amount from that small con-
gregation was $500; by this you see the
spirit of this people. We also organized q
Church society at Mt. Nebo. We went to
Hampshire on Saturday night, July 18th,
where branch society was organized and a
very nice contribution obtained; from thence
Sunday morning to Hunters Chapel, where
we met with a warm reception, organized an
other society, and took up a collection in
which the people seemed to be very much in
terested. From this place we went to Mt
Pleasant, of which we will report by-aud-by
