idea Of our condition as to capi-
tai, I would refer you to two or
three points in our State. In Char
lotte, which is the biggest town of
it's size in the United States, we
have five chartered banks, with a
capital paid in Of ss5o,oOo. Their
deposits will exceed 81, 100000,

and Wilmington some 100000,
and their banking capital is about
half their deposits-total bank cap.
ital in three towns, about $780,
900; deposits s2,9oo,oOo. Now'sev.
sn.tenths Of these deposits belong
to our farmers-such men as you,
down on middle men, and clamor-
GUS for more capital. What do
they do with it? Will they lend to
their neighbors who are in straits
and havn't got well on their feet
since the war, and secure it by
a mortgage at 6, 8, or 10 per cent. ?
Not one in ten. You havn't conf
dence in your neighbor, though he
mortgages his farm; but you put it
in one of these banks on long call at
6 per cent, and your neighbors go
to the bank and borrow it at Is
per cent, to raise the wind for the
next crop. Or he goes to a CON-
mission merchant snd buys his sup
plies, on a credit, at a cost Of over
SO per cent. over cash prices, and
mortgages his crop in advance to
pay for them; and when that mort
gage is foreelosed, your crop gone,
no supplies on hand, and the same
process to be gone over again the
next year, you say, it's want of more
capital. Omy brother, take no Of
fence, I pray you, at the words Of a
fiend,when I say it is a want of COM
mon sense and common charity to-
ward each other. Make your own
supplies, and you will not have to
borrow so much money. Hyou have
any to loan let your neighbor have
it, unless you had rather see the
banker speculate on your money
than him. Nobody blames the
banker or the commission merchant.
If they can run a machine on yoar
money, who should blame them for
it? Not !, for one. Learn to use
your capital wisely before you clam
or for more. Pour your surplus |
cash On your farms, or into manu-
featuring, instead Of the banks,
and you will knock out q middle
man every lick.

To understand the world is wiser
than to condemn it. To study the
world is better than to shun it.
To use the world is nobler than to
abuse 1t. To make the world bet

BREAKFAST.

meal varies even among the people
OF the same nation. The farmer rises
before the sun, and sits down to
his breakfast at five o'clock with
a good appetite. The professional
man rises later in the day, and eight,
it may be nine o'clock, finds him
slipping his cup of coffee. The
Lofdon nobleman is hardly pre-
paredfor it by midday, and the shad-
ows Of evening fall before the Par
isian epicure has taken his first
meal. Tobias Venner, of Shake
speare's time, recommended to per-
sons of sedentary habits couple

sauce and few corns of pepper,
drinking thereafter agood draught
of claret. Sir Isaac Walton break
tasted while fishing, ohfa piece of
powdered beef and radish or two.
The Greeks ate but two meals, the
first at midday, the second in the
evening. The English in the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries
had four meals day. In the six
teenth century my lord and lady
sat down to a repast OF two pieces
of salted fish and half a dozen red
herrings, or a dish of sprats and a
quart of lager, and the same meas
ure of wine. Pepys, of Charles It's
reign, had at his company break
fasts a barrel of oysters, a dish Of
meats tongues, a dish of anchovies,
with ale and wine of all sorts.
Miss Sedgwick writes of an En-
glish breakfast party that the num-
Der of guests is never allowed to
exceed twelve. There are coffee,
tea, chocolate, toast rolls, grated
beef and eggs broiled chicken, rein
deers'' tongues, sweetmeats, fruits
and ices. When Mrs. G.. 81. Hall

the table was headed with early

between sixty and seventy years
old. A breakfast in Scotland con-
sists chiefly of cold grouse, salmon,
cold beef marmalade, jellies, five
kinds Of bread, oatmeal cakes, cof
fee, toast and tea. Southy alludes
to the different preferences Of va
rious nations in regard to- food
when he describes man of uniyer-
sal taste as one who would have
eaten saussges for breakfast at Nor
wich, sweet butter in Cumberland,
orange marmalade at Edinburgh,
Findow haddocks at Aberdeen, and
drank punch with beefsteak if the
Frenchman had obliged him with
an English dinner. He had eaten
a SQUAD pie in Devon, sleeps head
with the hair on in Scotland, and
potatoes roasted on the hearth in
Ireland, frogs with the French,
picked herring with the Dutch,
sour hout with the Germans, mac
caroni with the Italians, and turtle
and venison with the Lord Mayor;
and the turtle and venison he would
have preferred to them all for his
taste, though catholic, was discrim-
mating.

HOW TO BE ACCEPTABLE.

all mankind the fact that q sa-
cred duty which devolves upon
each individual is to keep him
self or herself pure, sweet and
acceptable to those about them
at all times, we should feel that we
had accomplished a work Of price
less value. OF course we cannot
do this, nor can we expect to infu-
ence any large proportion Of the
people in that direction of that clean.
iness which so nearly approximates
godliness. But we do stimulate
a select few to greater care Of them
selves, togreater consideration for
the tastes and feelings of others, and
in this we have sweet and lasting
reward. Thousands5of our young
readers will, by and by, reflect that
to our teachings they owe some.
thing Of their good manners, not a
little of their good morals andEery
much Of their good habits, and they
will, some way, thank us for our
earnestness in their behalf. So we
remember that when we preach
temperance and cleanliness and q
life Of thoughtful purity, We are
teaching our readers an all-impor-
tant lesson, and one which cannot
be too early learned.
There is a great deal Of selfish
ness in the world, and this trait is
manifested in nothing more than in
personal habits. It ought for ex-
ample, to be a sufficient inducement
to any man to abandon the use
of tobacco, to know that the habit
makes him offensive to all the
world. To the right-minded man
it surely would, for disguise it as
you WILL the habit Of using tobac-
co by eating It, or burning it in a
pipe or in roll, or putting it in
the nose, does make the person SO
employing it very dirty, very often
a7e in smell and very d1isagreeable.
The offence does not cease for days
after the poison is abandoned. Its
odor is wonderfully noxious and
wonderfully lasting. It is simply
detestable. Those persons who
contaninste themselves with this
dangerous and unclean herb ought
to be placed in a colony by them
selves, without permission to ap-
proach cleanly human beings BY
this means, and by confning mar.
riages among tobacco users strictly
to the members Of the colony, The
poisoned race would speedily
die out, because strong and
healthy offspring are not possible
from such union. Disease, imbe-
cility and deformity Of boby and
mind and conscience these are
the fruits garnered in the offspring
Of parents addicted to this selfish
vice. 80
In thus teaching our friends how
to be acceptable we are inculcating
a still higher moral-the moral Of q
pure Life. Fer impurity in thought
or act or word is always an offence,
always Objectionable. We demand
Of all the young as well as the old,
that they preserve themselves pure,
blameless and acceptable and free
from the contaminaGons which be-
set humanity everywhere.

For what reason?'
T should like to examine it.
Very well, I suppose tomorrow

Soon after breakfast Mrs. New
ton called on Squire Bent, the own
or of the new block, and initmated
her desire to be shown the corner
house. The request hereadily COM
Piled with; Mrs. Newton was quite
delighted with all the arrangements,
and expressed her satisfaction. #
:Are all these houses for sale or
to let?' she inquired.
Either, said the owner.
The rent is, I understand, two
hundred dollars
Yes, I consider the corner house
worth at least twenty-five dollars
more than the rest
And what do you charge for the
house to a cash purchaser 2 asked
Mrs. Newton, with subdued eager
ness.
-Four thousand dollars cash,
WAS the reply; and that is but a
small advance on the cost
Very well, I will buy it of you,
added Mrs. Newton, quietly.
what did I understand you to
say!' asked the Squire, scarcely be-
ieving his ears.
Z repeat that I will buy this
house, at your price, and pay the
money within a week
Then the house is yours. But
your husband said nothing Of his
intentions, and in fact I did not
know
That he had any money to invest,
I suppose you would say: Neither
does he know it, and I must ask
you not to tell him for the pres
ent.'
The next morning Mrs. Newton
invited her husband to take walk,
but without specifying the diree-
ion.
They stood in front Of the house
in which he desired to live.
Wouldn't you like to go in?' she
asked.
Yes, it is pity that we have
not the key
4 have the key said his wife, and
forthwith walked up the steps and
proceeded to open the door.
when did you get the key OF
Squire Bent?' asked her hus-
band.
Yesterday, when I bought the
house, said his wife quietly:
Mr.. Newton gazed at his wife in
profound astonishment.
what on earth do you mean,
Elizabeth 2 he inquired.
Just what I say. The house is
mine and what is mine is thine.
So the house is yours, Ezra.
sWhere in the name OF goodness
did you raise the money! asked
her husband, his amazement still as
great as ever.
4 havnt been q managing wife
for ten years for nothing said Mrs.
Newton, smiling.
With some difficulty Mrs. New
ton persuaded her husband that
the price OF the house was really
the result of her savings. He felt
when he surveyed the commodious
arrangements Of the new house,
that he had reasons to be grateful
for the prudence of his managing
wife.

The cheap wit which .ally expends
itself upon some part Of woman's dress
has found a mine in the tied back skirt,
which has been most industriously
worked. The point with the critics is
the indecency Of the style which indi-
Gates 80 much of the outline of wo-
mans form; but from this point of view
there is no reason whatever for the
structures Why is woman's form any
more indecorous than a mans? And
Why should not dress outline the form
it covers? II it does not, what is the
object OF a form at all? And why
should beauty in design or art itself be
cultivated? Twenty-Five years ago the
women wore an enormous mass Of skirts,
which rendered them shapeless and oc-
casioned them great trouble and incon
venience. To preserve q necessary and
barrel-ike absence OF form, hoopskirts
we're invented, the first Of which we're

dresses over them aud woman inside

city sidewalk, and six three on o side)

and lampooned for concealing the form;

called, and the classic taste Of the EN-
press Josephine, and the ladies Of the
renowned French salon commented upon

itself, and ought to have been sent
abroad to study painting and sculpture,
| the works Of the old masters and the
principles of all modern art, in order t.
get ideas not utterly disgraceful to mod

abroad. Whether that had snything to
do with getting rid Of hoops and the
more recent studies of form as applied
to dress, matters not. We have, at least
got rid OF hoops, and we have got a
dress that is not obtrusive; that il
nether so straight nor scant nor objec

short-waisted, low.necked, short-sleeveo

made up of parts which have no rela-
tionship to each othe:, but that is rev
table; and on the other eide we have
gradually obtained a public opinion
which is stronger and more permanent
than fashion, which gives dark or neu
tral colors, and almost uniformly solid
fabrics for the street, which enforces the
necessity of restricting street costumes
TO limits that will not sbtrade upon the
rights of others in the street-cars or else

II is lamentable fact that our national

ridicule. II alone, they are at once
preyed upon by evil and designing men,
and few of the modern French cbivalry

fleets so to the disadvantage Of Ameri-

No investment for people of small means

The difference between these bonds and a
