Character is a Jewel or Priceless

1t very frequently happens tina
young men damage themselves for life
or at least for many years, by what t
them appear as trifing errors. They
violate the truth, form reckless associa

Thus at the beginning Of life they i'm

of priceless value,' and yet it is easily
impaired and tarnished.
The young, generally speaking, dc
not appreciate its Importance, because
they lack experience, and know but
little of the world and the severity OF
its Judgment. An individual, for ex-
ample, who is in the habit of repeating
all sorts of wild and improbable stories,
who boasts, exults and magnifes, is at
first looked upon with surprise and
caution by intelligent people, and when
detected in some monstrous fabrication,
he is distrusted, despised and avoided.
In silly effort to appear what he is
not and to occupy position to which
he is not entitled, he destroys his char
acter and loses his friends.
The young and indiscreet do not
appreciate the realities of life, but per-
NIT fancy and folly to mislead them.
Not few young people indulge in the
error, that by extravaganza in speech,
recklessness of sentiment and insolence
of manner, they make themselves i'm
portant and excite envy and astonish-
ment among their companions. The
mistake IS a fearful one. The only feel
ings produced among sensible and OBJ
serving people, are those of pity and
If a statement cannot be

which we live? 1t is indeed, an age
of successful experiment. And,
shall it continue to be said, that every
other interest but agriculture, has par
ticipated in the benefits Of this advance
ment in science and the arts.
In the midst of this unparalleled en-
terprise and energy, it would have
been strange if the impulse had not
been communicated to the farmers; we
see them aroused from their lethargy,
and uniting in vast organization, for
the purpose Of building up agriculture.
The operations of the stimulus of the
Oranges, upon individual members,
are rapidly spreading abroad; carrying
the conviction wherever they go, that
agriculture is susceptible of vastly
wider range of usefulness and profit.
The disadvantages under which indi-
vidual farmers labor in making the
necessary experiments todevelope facts
and principles, SO essential to the inn
provement and practice of farming;
the tardiness with which favorable re-
suits become generally known and act
ed upon, and the fact that unfavorable
results are hardly ever known beyond
small circle; are now obviated by
the Grange movement, and agricul.
ture is destined, soon, to be ranked
both as science and an art, and will
occupy most difnifed and honorable
place among the pursuits of man.

COTTON CULTURE.

Cotton is planted in our Southern
States in the latter part of March anc
the beginning of April, in high beds
five feet apart one way, and from eight
to twenty-four inches the other, accord
ing to the richness of the soil. In
about a fortnight after planting, rows
ofdelicate leaflets appear above the soil,
and early in June the plants begin to
bloom, the fields presenting the appear
ance of a vast flower garden. Our en-
craving on page 344 represents the
covering in Of the seed. The crows cen.
slider this great delicacy, and many
expedients are adopted to keep off the
depredators, who would soon undo all
the work of planting. The most COM
mon method is the one shown in our
engraving tin pan suspended from
a couple Of high stakes, which is beat
en- by means Of a stone swinging from
a cord. Familiarity with the sound
breeds contempt even in the cautious
crow, and then he is taught to keep
his distance with the gum Harpers
Weekly.
Oh |! we cotton planters of the South,
read, learn, digest and profit by the
teachings of Harpers Weekly in the
above article on cotton culture. Ye
knew nothing about cotton before, and
we advise you to procure copy of
that paper of the Oath of April, and
have the engraving on page 344 framed
and hung up in your bedrooms to
remind you each morning when you
arise, chow to plant and cover cotton
with hoe," and how to keep the crosus
from eating up all your cotton seed and
destroying your stand.
But joking aside, this article and
the engraving accompanying it are in
keeping with the incorrect information
in reference to the South, that is
usually published in that infamous
paper. During and since the war it
seemed to be the delight of the Har-
pers to have the people of the South
ern States caricatured by their SANDER
ous and lying engravings, which were
about as near the truth as the above
'hort and reliable article upon cotton
culture. When will our people stop
'atronizing paper that delights in
laundering them2

The friends and patrons of the Vim.

solicitude for the success of their fa-

by contributing their useful and in

Agriculture as a Science and an
Art.

Agriculture may be regarded both
as a science and an art; and it certain.
ly, admits of different degrees of skill.
The principles upon which its whole
theory and practice depends, are to be
learned by close application and study,
they are not innate or born in us, like
the terminating principle in the seed
we sow. The ignorant but successful
farmer owes his success to his industry
in initiating others, or to the knowl-
edge he has acquired by observation
and dearly bought experience.
We must regard agriculture both as
science and an art, if we wish it to as
sumo that rank, to which it legitimate
ly lays claim. What has human
genius and enterprise accomplished in
the other walks of life? Genius by
the increasing lights of science and
the dexterity of art, has achieved
improvements in nearly all the voca-
tiOns Of man, that have Outstripped the
visions of credulity itself, by the ex-
tention of old, and the discovery Of
new principles. Need we recount the
victories of genius, the wonders of
inuentiOn, the splendid achievements
of enterprise that adorn the epoch in

THE VIcKsBURG TMEs.-We see,.

notice in the Vicksburg Herald, that
the Times daily and weekly is about
to be moved to and located in our city,
We can say to our readers that it is
the fairest and most out-spoken Repub-
lican paper in the State. 1t will be
ably edited by Capt. ]. L. Lake and
Capt. H. I. Fisher. Outside of poll
tics, it will be first-class paper. We
quote from an editorial of 26th April:
agriculture, immigration and all
subjects affecting the material prosperi--
ty of the State, will receive especial
attention.

sense and meaning Of the terms, is the

CREDIT SYSTEM.

If there is anything more than
another which the Patrons of Hus-
bandry have advocated, it is the doing
away with the whole credit system.
Some Of the good effects Of doing away
with this system Of dealing are appar
ent in our State. Merchants in cities
and towns will tell you, where a farmer
bought one hundred dollars worth of
goods on credit formerly, he has
reduced his purchases to twenty-five
dollars and paid the cash, if he had
not the cash to pay he did without the
articles. In this good work the farmer
has been nobly seconded by his wife
and family; all have economical, all
are economiziug, for the grand purpose
of once more becoming free from the
incubus of debt.
When this "pay as you go system
is fully established, we firmly believe
the merchant will have gained, and
will profit by it as much as the farmer.
Then, he will have no calculations to
make for "bad debts" and the farmer
who does pay will not be called upon,
in the way of advanced prices, to
make good the merchants loss, sustain
ed by crediting doubtful and non-p pay
iny customers.
If we could always keep it before
our minds, that every debt we make is
mortgage, to the amount Of the debt,
on all we have both Of property and
honor, It auould be a check upon, us, since
the acknowledged fact that we have
to pay so to 100 per cent. for articles
on time has not proved sufficient to
keep us from going in debt. "Pay as
you go" or the cash system, is the only
one by which farming can be made
profitable.
In recommending cash system, we
are suggesting no impossibility to
the farmers of Mississippi, 1t is not
the dream of a sickly Imagination, but
it is practical experiment. 1t rests
with the farmers themselves to realize
it in the fullest and broadest sense, and
we have faith they will adoptit. They
have only to deny themselves and FAM
lilies few luxuries, few indulgences,
few coveted objects, and the work is
done.
We are rejoiced to know that this
system was adopted to large extent
last year and will be continued this sea-
son. The farmers of Mississippi are
making noble struggle for indepen-
dence, and with good crops, strict
economy and the cash system of deal
ing, another year will see them self.
and out of debt.
