DIR PROSPECTS.

We commence the year eighteen hundred
and seventy-three under more favorable cir
cumstances than any year since the war
closed. We make this declaration without
fear of successful contradiction. Generally,
good crops of corn and wheat were made and
provisions of all kinds are plenty. The cotton
crops, when the price is taken into considera-
ton, was far above the average There ought
to be a great deal of money in the country.
If we, as people, had only learned to be
economical, we are now in fair condition to
rise above all our pecuniary difficulties. In
this country we need something which would
supply the same place in our pecuniary at
fairs that ratchet wheel supplies in machin-
cry. We need, in plain English, principle
fully developed which will enable US to hold
what we get-to save what we make. 1t is
hard for us to get rid Of a come-easy, go-easy
practice which has prevailed at the South from
time immemorial Generally speaking, our
people produce enough to make them rich but
unfortunately spend enough to keep them, if
not poor, entirely too dependent. The miser
and prodigal are extremes The former is
poor in the midst ofhis hoardings; the latter
is poor from his want ofsaving. Those who
are wise enough to choose the golden mean are
blessed with plenty and are comfortable.

THE HOLIDAYS.

The Christmas holidays were colder and
more inclement than usual, which prevented
the outdoor recreations resorted to by many,
and proved a source of bitter disappointment
to several Nimrods, who had intended to avail
themselves of this leisure time for the purpose
of bagging all the game in the adjacent woods
and fields Not that the huntsmen were dis
mayed at the weather-for the cold would only
have added zest to the sport and been exhilira'
ting to the last degree-but after consultation,
it was unanimously conceded that the birds
and rabbits would not come out until the
weather moderated, which sound reasoning no
doubt contributed much to extending the
lease on life of many innocent hares and un-
suspecting partridges. Whether this disap-
pointment tended to increase the consumption
Of egg-nog it becomes us not to say. We
only know that the price of eggs suddenly
went up to fifty cents per dozen, with brisk
demand, and the only outdoor amusement in
dulged in was sleighing on small scale, by
those who could command the necessary out.
