Moral Culture is the True End of Life.

Men ask, What have you got? What
do you know ? What can you do ?
God asks, What are you? On the ans
wer TO that question hangs our des-
tiny. Then all things, all incidents,
all gettings, all losses of this life,
should be measured by their outcome,
the resultant effect on our character.
A possession is good if it makes us gen.
eFous, if, in the use of it, we develop
all those right faculties that pertain to
its handling. But if not, woe TO the day
on which the windfall came Whether
it shall prove to us a godsend, or a
curse, depends entirely upon our use of
it. A loss may be a good if through
its means we develop these graces that
come from the patient endurance of
life's hard aud heavy things. In either
case we are not to estimate them by
what they are in themselves. This is
but superficial, and thus false view
to take. What they make of US is what
determines their value. One of the
first times 1 ever preached without

collection of leaves and flowers, and
grasses. When done, the fire takes It. "
But the best part-the drill and prsc-
tice and knowledge acquired IN making
the collectiOn--these are left, and they
are worth more than a dozen eollec-
tions. The practice and study of col
lecting makes even betsnist. But one
might own the collection forever and
know nothing about it. A painter by
long years of work becomes skilled IN
eye, and finger, and judgment and i'm
agination. At the age of 90 he sells
All his pictures to some one rich enough
to buy them. He has left only eye and
finger, and judgment, and imagination,
and the skill of all these. But these
are as much superior to one of his pict-
ures as God is to the earth he has
made. He is an artist. But the man
who fills his house with mis- paintings
may be only clown. What he becomes
in his work is worth more than all hs
produces or what he gets paid for it.

COTTON MANUFACTuRE.
The other Side OF the Pieaure-yvords sof
Encouragement for the Soutb.

Ahe Other Side OF the Pieaure-VVortfs sof
Encouragement for the south.
To induce parties in Georgia to erect
cotton mills, southern writer the other
day compiled a table of dividends de-
elared by some Of the eastern cotton
and wooien mills in 1873. This table
showed that 26 out of AZ companies di-
vided from 10 to 20 per cent. each. In
order that the south may not be too en-
vIous on account of these enormous
profits the Boston journal undertakes
to picture what it calls the other side
of the history of manufacturing in that
section. the losses and sacrifices oc-
curing during the history of these
mills before those profits were found.
Some Of those mentioned as making
such dividends in 1873, we are reminded

sold at $50 In 81. The Chicopee had
Its capital cut down in 1860 from 500. =
500 to $780, by impairments and
so on through the list. Still, these un-
pleasant "reminiscences need not dis
courage men from engaging in cotton
manufacture, for there are ups and
downs, lights and shades in all busi-
ness, and the success of the mills at
Augusta, Ga, and other places In the
cotton country, shows clearly that with
economical management it is very prof.
table to operate such manufactures in
the south, where all expenses of trans
pCrtation of the raw material is saved.
The results of the Augusta cotton
factory enterprise are such as to en-
courage the southern people to further
efforts IN manufacturing. The Depend
ence of the south on the north for man
ufactured products was shown striking
~ during the war, when, with cotton In
abundance, the wealthiest citizens were
obliged to purchase at enormous gold
prices clothing brought over in block
ade runners, while the poorer classes
the war several praisewOrthy efforts have
been made by southern capitalists to
render their section independent. The
most successful of those enterprises is
the Augusta cotton factory, started soon
after the war. Only sixty thousand
dollars were ever paid in, and the COM
pauy has paid out in dividends 81, ,06S,-
600, has property worth 81 200, 600, at
the lowest calculation, and a surplus of
$265, $40. During the fiscal year inst
ended the company has expended $780,
600 for new machinery and for the en-
largement and improvement of the
buildings. Yet Georgia only consumes
%, COO bales of cotton In her mills,
about one-twentieth part of her own
crop, while most of the other southern
states are without cotton mills, and
have to send their whole crop elsewhere
to be manufactured.-N York San.

Domestic Felicity of George the Third.

Here is q pithy extract from a recent
speech of Bradlaugh in an English
town: Mr.. Disraeli, at Manchester,
spoke of the royalty of this country.
He said that George the Thirds family
were an example of domestic felicity.
He said they illustrated the home of
the nation. I ask you to only imagine
George the Thirds family an example
Of domestic felicity. George the
Thirds grandfather locked up his wife
for thirty years, and in her abseree
lived with two other women. Is that
an example of domestic felicity
George the Thirds grandfather never
spoke to George the Third. George
the Third's,grandfather his wife's
will, George the Thirds father burned
his fathers will, and still Mr.. Disaeli
sets them mp as an example OF domestic
felicity George the Thirds mother
said that her son was the most hcen-
tious. dishonest, and wicked man Ilv-
inc and she wished that he might die
and leave the world. That's au exam
pIe of Mr.. Disraeli's domestic felicity.
When George the Third was mad his
two sons came back to their clubs and
spoke it widely there IN order to make
believe that the madness was lncuraole.
George the Thirds son was drunk the
