the Grand Hotel at Cincinnati, haze come
down to blackberry pies and blackberries, as
each days menu will show, and everybody
calls for them and eats them, and the proprie-
tors pay from 123 to ID cents quart for
them for months together. The fact is men.
toned merely to suggest market for what
nature has so literally bestowed upon US.
Other people and other planters are not 80
blind to the merits and profits of the humble
blackberry as we are. Instance the statement
made to me by Mr.. Silas St. John, the chief
of the Express Company's Office at Louis
Vile. This gentleman informed me week
or two ago that $4,000 pounds of strawber-
ries are shipped daily over one road from .
few counties of East Tennessee and North
Georgia, and moreover that at this season
$4,000 pounds of blackberries are shipped
northward daily over the same route These
berries are not cultivated, but are gathered in
the old fields by the farmers wives and chill
dren, who receive an average from 123 to
Is cents per pound for this fruit the season
through.
Omitting all reference to the Strawberries,
let US figure up the blackberries statistics q
little. Fifteen thousand pounds, at 123c., is
$1,,8675 per dsy-$10, $50 per week-$41 900
per month. Now add, say $4,000 per month
for strawberries, and you have $4,000 per
month as the income derived by two or three
counties from this single source alone!
MILLIONS IN IT!
Go to my cotton planting friends. Why
stand ye idle, with clasped hands, weeping and
bewaiiing your poverty, and praying Sprague
and others to come over and help you to
build your cotton factoriesi The gods only
help those who help themselves. See, the
market is free! The mouths Of the bloated
capitalists of 'the North" are hungrily gaping
for blackberries. Fall to, next season, and
each county can pick and sell enough black
berries to build at least one cotton factory
within its borders! So shall We become
great people, and so shall / attain to be called
the Father Of my Country! G. Mex.

The PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF SUNDAY
Sunday is Gods special present to the work.
ing-man, and one of his chief objects is to
prolong his life and preserve efficient work
ing tone. In the vital system it works like
a compensation pound; it replenishes the
spirit, the elasticy and vigor, which the last
six days have drained away, and supplies the
force which is to fill the six days succeeding
and in the economy Of existence it answers
the same purpose as the economy of income is
answered by savings bank. The frugal
man who puts away pound to-day, and an
other pound next month, and who, in quiet
way, is putting by his stated pound from time
to time, when he grows old and frail gets not
only the same pound back again, but q good
many pounds besides. And the concientious
man husbands one day in his existence every
week-who, instead of ALLOWING Sunday to be
trampled and torn in the hurry and scram-
BILE of life, treasuers it up-the Lord Of Sunday
keeps it for him, and in length of days the
hail of age gives it back with usury. The
savings bank of human existence is the weekly
Sanitarian.

BORROWING BooKs.-Nobody would think
of going into your parlor and picking up a
mantel ornament or tidy, and saying, "Can
take this for few days? I will bring it
back again" But they frequently do so
with your books. Now, books are as much
the furniture of room as anything else, par
ticularly when they are in the parlor. They
are put there to be looked over and promote
conversation, and if they are carried off their
purpose is defeated. Besides, borrowers feel
much less obligation to return books than
anything else Very few people keep more
than ten or fifteen volumes on parlor table,
and though one might not be missed for q
time, yet ifeverybody who came in would ap-
propriate one, the owner would soon be des-
titute

Two S1DEs.-Remember that all questions
have two sides one is the right side, the other
the wrong side; one is the side of justice, the
other injustice. If you take the right side,
the just side, ultimately men, however much
they may oppose and revile you, will come to
your support. Earth, with all its powers, will
work with you and for you, and heaven is
pledged to conduct you to complete success.
If you take the other side, there is no power
on earth or heaven that can lead you through
successfully, because it is appointed in the
counsels Of heaven that justice, and truth,
alone can prevail.

PEACHES AND BLACKBERRIEs THE ROYAL

PuNNING CONCLUSION.
To fix the thing in your mind, it may be
stated briefly in the form Of pun. The Yam
KEGS oan, and the Dixies can't, and thereby
hangs the whole secret of their wealth and
our poverty. But, besides our sin in the mat
ter of peaches, there is also the sin against
blackberries. To explain I suppose no quar-
ter of the globe has been more favored in the
matter of blackberries than has this the late
ly PROSTATE State. The old fields and the
road-sides, and the bitches and the fence-cor-
ners, the cotton and turnip patch, the garden
and the horse lot, the cowpen and the pigpen,
the chicken coop and the dog kennel, the
park and the playground, the camp and the
churchyard, the railroad and the river, all
sing the song of the blackberry, whatever it
is. The birds plant 'em, the winds scatter
'em, the sun ripens 'em, the rain alone fertil'
ICES them, and they grow and abound every.
where in weed-like profusion, and the tramp
alone gathers them. Richland county alone
produces enough Of these wild grapes to sup
ply the world, and yet as a matter of fact
there are not enough gathered to supply the
demand of Richland county. "Have you
any blackberry pies2" asked a hungry party
of travellers of the mistress of tumble-down
shanty on the roadside in one of our upper
counties, after they had asked in vain for 9th
er edibles "Thank you," was the indignant
reply; "thank you, if we is poor, and amt
got no bread nor buttermilk, nor nuthin, we
amt come down to blackberry pies yit!'
