Adtioe to the Farmers,

In the present panic no class is sui.

to hold their cotton for higher prices.
Tho News and Courier in comment.
'ng on tho letter cri:iciscs Co.. Al.
ken's advice unlavorably, and claims
that this action on the part Of tho
farmers would dcfraud tho factors
who have advanced them money, and
wo"ld consequently produce a st.ll
greater crash. The News and Con.
r'cr concludes with the following ad.
vice:
call the evils of which Mr.. Aiken
complains arise from the planters
want Of capital. The true remedy,
then, is not to add to the want OF
credit, bus, by punctuality and econ.
omy, to increase both. Thus, in
truth, will the planter be indepen

ought to occupy, and which we hope
he Will soon reach, for with his pros.

DO seen that Col. Aiken was warmly
received, and his address gavo great
satisfaction. Amid all the cant pro

Miss Matte Stevenson.

Some weeks ago this young lady
came, an entire stranger to our city,
from Illinois, for the holy purpose of
nursing the sick-a work which she
performed so zealously and heroically
as to win the admiration of all who
witnessed her devotion, and particu-
larly of the physicians. Her devotion
was truly hrist-like-she died for
others, for suffering strangers. Mon
day, Oct. 13, she was stricken with the
deadly disease, and Notwithstanding
she had the best medical attentions of
Drs. Blackburn, Rogers, and others,
and the kind care of two nurses at the
Walthall lnfirmary, she died Friday,
Oct II, martyr to humanity cause.
The tidings of her death filled all
hearts with sorrow. She was buried in
Elmwood by the Howard Association.
Il gOOdly number of the members, with
other leading citizens, including the
acting Mayor of the city, following her
remains to the cemetery The Rev.
Mr.. BOggs, of the Second Presbyterian
Church, Officiated in the solemn ser
vice at the grave, reading the parable
of the Good Samaritan, and making
an impressive address. after which he
offered prayer, and closed with the
apostolic benediction. And now she
being dead yet speaketh-her life of
two weeks in Memphis will long be an
exemplar and a sacred glory in the
hearts of the people The Howard
Association adopted resolutions as
tribute to her memory. and steps have
already been taken to provide means
with which TO erect a monument over
her remains.-Nemphis Methodist.

To be Rich and to be Married.

1t is often said that girls wish to be
rich aud to be married, as if it were
an accusation against them. But why
should not girls wish to be rich and to
be married? Is there anything wrong?
is there anything censurable ?-is
there anything to be condemned in
either of these wishes?
The world is full of good and pleas
ant things have not girls, as we'll as
men. a right to desire to possess and
enjoy them? Must blood flow slow
and sluggish, because it is in woman
veins? Shall her pulses never leap
with the thrills of an ambition which
IS esteemed honorable in man?
And why should not girls desire to
be married? Marriage Is an lnstltu-
ton possessing both human and di-
vine sanction which it would be quite
impossible to uphold without the CO.
operation Of young women. Then
have they no right TO fake an interest
in it. and, in fact. to look upon it as
opening to them, as it does, their most
important sphere OF action.
There is difference Of opinion as
to whether woman should be sailors.
or doctors. or even voters but no
doubt was ever entertained about their
qualifications to become wives. 1t Is
ridiculous To speak. as If It were 20
their disparagcment. Of the high APP
probation which they instinctlyely
place upon the most important relation
which Nature has ordained for them.
The poet tells Us that
Marriage, if rightly understood.
J. TO the VirtuOus and good,
\ Paradise below.
OF course wealth and marriage, both
honorable in themselves, are to be
sought only by honorable means
Honesty, industry and economy pro-
cure wealth. \ woman who under
stands, thoroughly, and in detail, all
household affairs judiciously, contrib
utes greatly 10 her husbands prosper
jty. and her own. 30 the possession
of all the virtues. aud all the accom-
pli,hments, is the first and sure,t step
towards acquiring the possession Of
good husband.

ADAM FLIDGE'S GOLD.
' cry Respectfully,
n. l.. WHITFIELD, Co. Sup't

Mr.. Adam Flidge, of Muddybrook.
returned from California after an alb
sence of two years, bringing home with
him seven thousand dollars.
The snug sum was considered for
tune in Muddybrook and Muddy
brook accordingly extended its arms To
receive the amiable Adam, although, |
am sorry to say, the Flidge family, be
ing poor, the young adventurer had
never been appreciated by his own
people until the news that he
had made his fortune in California
opened their eyes to his extraordinary
merit
All black, and bearded, and uncouth
in his manners as Adam was, he was
caressed by the first people in Muddy
brook-people gay and proud, who had
formerly noticed Adam no more than
if he had been dog.
And Adam, fresh from the society
of barbarians. and altogether unac-
custOmed to the smiles of the tender
sex, was fattered, bewildered, dazzled
by the bright eyes which beamed fond
" on him now. WOmen's smiles to
him were welcome as the breath Of
Spring to the bleak hills and tempest
tended trees. With heart hungry
for love. ii is 70 wonder that he be-
traved the most amiable of human
weakness; no wonder that even the
not very beautiful Annie Moore led
him willing eaptive-the cold and
eoquettish Annie, to whOme Adam had
offered himself in the days of his pow
erty, and been fatty, contemptuously
rejected.
Seen through eold-bound glasses,
however, Adam appeared no more the
worse wretch Annie formerly cOnsld-
cred him. As the youngest of unmar-
ried daughters, in whose maiden foot
steps she was following fast, the proud
Annie was pretty well qualified to
Judge of Adams newly discovered
merits. She Judged indeed; and when
the stupid fellow, believing every wo-
man true. once more offered her his
hand. she graciously accepted 1t.
Adam almost burst with joy. tie firm
IL believed himself the most fortunate
( fellow in the world, and would not
, have exchanged his happiness with any
individual alive.
But while Adam was happy, some
body was very miserable. To every

is 1T RIGHT.

Is it right for men who profess and
call themselves Christians to pray,
Lead us not into temptation. and
then needlessly expose themselves to
the influence of drinks which have
tempted and ruined thousands.
Is it right for men to ask God to
Give US this day our daily bread,
and then support system that licenses
men to destroy the good grain by con-
verting it into the body and soul-des-
troying drinks?
Is it right TO build churches, chapels,
and schools to help to save people and
at the same time to license men and
women to open shops in which liquors
are sold which will destroy the peo-
pie?
Is it right to license man to sell
drink which will make people drunk,
and then fine men and women for get
ting drunk?
Is it right to license men to make
paupers and criminals, and then tax
sober and virtuous people to pay rates
to keep them?
Is it right to open a public house
and beer-shOp to teach vice, and then
compel rate-payers to pay for schools
to be opened to teach virtue?
Is it right to derive revenue out of
system which demoralizes and de
grades the people?
Is it right to force a public house
or beer-shop upon a neighbOrhood
when the people who live there are
opposed to its being opened?
Is it right to profess to be sorry fer
the evils which spring from intemper-
anee, and at the same time to take no
steps to bring them to an end?
Is it right for people to wish the
temperance cause success, and at the
same time continue to drink and sup
port the liquor traffic?
Is it right for any man or woman
who wishes well to their country to
stand alOof from the only certain cure
for our national intemperanee?
Is it right for a Sunday-school teach
er to teach scholars to beware of the
dangers of the public house, with
breath smelling strong of the drink
which comes from such places?
Is it right for a minister of religion
to preach against drunkenness, while
he continues to use the drink which
alone produces it?
Is it right to admit into Christian
churches, as members, liquor sellers,
who, by their business, are constantly
hindering the spread of the gospel and
leading professors of religion astray?
Is it right to expect God to help
Christian efforts, when these efforts
are tainted with the money which
comes from the ruin of souls?
Is it right to hold fellowship with
the works of darkness, and expect the
light of the gospel to shine into mems
hearts?
Is it right to do wrong, and expect
wrong to produce right?
Is it right to ask these questions,
and if so, what answer can each reader
give to them ?-J ". KirtOH.
