RELIGION nv zHE RA1rELE.

Begin, my friends, with your children.
SPEAK cheerfUIly, bat reve7ently and
solemnly, to them Of the righteOumea
of God. Tell them He i their father.
and tell them He Is their judge. Show
them His face Ofconpa /; show them
His throne Of retribution. Teach them
that He loves the good teach them that
He hates lying, lust and all inquiry, and
that, for His goodness sake, he viii
sweep those who do not hate them finally
into tTibulation- Take care. yourselves,
to touch not the uncIean thing, 50 that
your counsels to your sons and daughters
be not a mOckeEy. Shake OF the first
dishonest penny from your fingers, a. the
apostle shook the venOmous vipeP into
the fire. Stand in awe of your con-
science; stand in awe of the King of
kings. Expect and welcome, from the
ministry of Christ, searching messages.
Pray for prophets who win rebuke you,
as their ancient predecessors did Israel,
for TObbing man by any fraud, for ROB
bing God by keeping back the offerings
at His altar which He requires as your
hands. And when we, your ministers,
are weak, when our lips stammer, or our
courage falters, or our poor lives seem to
empty our words of power, tam to old
Isaiah, and listen to the burden of his
advent vision: Hear, o Heaven, and
give ear, o earth, for the Lord hath
spoken. I have nOurished and brought
up children, and they have rebelled
against me. Wash you; make you clean.
Seek Judgment; relieve the oppressed;
right the fatherless; plead for the
widow. Zion shall be redeemed with
Judgment, and her converts with right
eOuSneas. Say ys to the righteous, it
shall be well with them, for they shall
eat the fruit of their doings Woe unto
the wicked; it shall be i'll with him, for
the reward of his hand shall be given
him. The mouth of the Lsrd hath
spoken it."

CAPITAL In THE SOUTH. The re-
Peated CRY of poverty from the south is
rather anomalous In view Of q constant
succession Of good crops The cotton
now Being marketed, has already reached
S,81S,OOO bales and will probably run
up q total Of $500, 900 before Sept. 1.
The exports of raw eOttons to foreign
countries has rissA from 2,I5S, 900 bales
in 1875 to 2,64S, 600 in 1876, the demand
showing an unexpected elasticity. OF
course, prices have been low, but the re-
turn ON the whole ought to profit che
south. The Charleston News, however,
complains that there is less money In
South Carolina now than there was ten
years ago, and warns the agents of
northern fertilizers that "the planters
are very poor" and can not invest. ID
notes q tendeRcy to rely on the small
grains and make cotton an incidental
crop. There is wisdom in a diversified
ton Of industry, but cotton must always
be the chief reliance of tho cotton states
for profitable agriculture. Thrift is the
great need, whatever the crop.
