GENERAL REMARKS.


Friday was cold and gloomy day. but this
condition of the weather seemed to have had the
effect to impart (contrarywise) a decidedly
cheerful feeling to several departments of trade.
The sugar men were delighted with the cold,
because they thought it would ripen the cane
and give their constituents a favorable prospect
of making good crops. Sugar is at this time
beginning to come forward more freely, and the
demand for the same is growing most encour-
aeingly, Cotton, as noticed yesterday, is active
and improving, under an increasing convlcton
that the crop this year will be considerably less
than that of last year, owing to the rainy
weather, etc.
Business in Produce for various reasons. is
not as active as at this season OF the year it
should be. The stock of -four accumulates rap
idlv. but receivers are sending it to warehouse,
and our provision dealers are doing nothing
except in jobbng way. the market being duli
and EASY on everything except on mess pork
and bacon.
The above is the general position and OUTLOOK
in the several lines of trade at the close OF the
commercial week, but we are happy to say that
business men and merchants generally are full
of hone. expectation and confidence as regards
| the future.

The New York Shipping List. of the It'll inst,
has a very well considered article under the
heading of Southern Trade and Industries"
in which it alludes to the active and healthful
character of our business. and dwells particu-
larly upon the fact that Southern trade is now
transacted upon better and safer
basis than it was in ante-belum times;
and that the "old plantation system
of mortgaging the future by reckless
purchases of supplies on long credits has been
superseded by cash payments and short credits"
placing in this respect. the Southern trade on
an equal footing with that of the Northern and
Western States. These facts being admitted
we only want to develop the Industrial re-
sources of the South. and the Shipping List
very cogently and strongly urges men of capital
to make their investments in this portion Of
the country as Offering an excellent prospect
for remuneratve return.

cuse it, and 10 show that it is not felt or If
felt it is attributed 10 accident, not to de-
sign and this Is not only easy but natural
IN the house Of friend we will not there
fore, believe that what is so natural in the
house of another is impossible at home, but
maintain without fear that all the courtesies
OF social life may be upheld in domestic so
cieties. A husband as willing to be pleased
at home, aud as anxious to please, as in a
neighbor's house, and wife as intent on
making things AS comfortable every day TO
her family as on set days to her guests,
could not fail to make their own home
happy. The sweetest, most clinging affec-
tion is often shaken by the slightest breath
OF unkindness, as the delicate rings and ten
drills of the vine are agitated by the faintest
air that blows in summer. An unkind
word from one beloved often draws blood
from many a heart that would defy the
battle-axe of hatred or the keenest edge of
vindictive satire. Now the shade, the
gloom of the face familiar and dear, awakens
pain. These, in the elegant words of the
preacher Read, are the little thorns which,
though men of rougher form may make
their way through them without suffering
much, extremely incommode persons of a
more refined turn in their journey through
life, and make their travelling irksome and
unpleasant. How careful we ought TO be
not to darken and mutilate the sweet i'm
ages of hope and Joy and peace, that might
gild the curtains of our companions life,
by suffering these spots to mingle with
them-these shadows of upas leaves to be
in the stream. OF all cruel words
or deeds, those that would darken hope are
the most cruel.-Seiected

SMALL MEANs.-We think that the power
of money is, on the whole, overestimated.
The greatest things which were done for the
world have not been accomplished by rich
men, or by subscription lists, but by men gen
trailyoi small pecuniary means. The great
est thinkers, discoverers, inventors and artists
nave been men of moderate wealth, many OF
them little raised above the condition OF
manual laborers in point OF worldly circuul-
stances. And it will always be so. Riches
are oitener an impediment than stimulus

much misfortune AS blessing. The youth
who lnherits wealth is apt to have life made

because he has nothing left to desire. Hav-
ing no special object to struggle for, he finds

A TRUE Christian living in the world is like
ship sailing on the ocean. IL is not the
ship being in the water which will sink it,
but the water getting into the ship So, III
like manner, the Christian is not ruined by
living in the world, which he must needs do
while he remains in the body, but by the
world living i'll him. The world in the
heart has ruined millions. How careful are
mariners in guarding against leakage, lest
the waters entering into the vessel should,
by imperceptible degrees, cause the vessel to
sink. And ought not the Christian TO watch
and pray, lest Satan thus entering in bring
him to destruction, both Of body and mind Z

The PRAYER-MEETING.-'r successful
churches are the prayer-meeting churches
The people will go where they have rousiug
prayer-meetings, as they find there what
answers to deep want OF their souls. They
are led with spiritual meat aud warm bread
from heaven. The preaching is well, can
not be dispensed with, as 1t affords the
basis of doctrine and the statement of truth
to the intellect; but it was not designed to
stand alone. The prayer-meeting is the
proper application of the sermon and the
people will not care for the sermon with the
improvements omitted Deprecate it as you
may, men will |, ave the church empty which
has only sermons, to crowd those where the
doctrines OF the day are sweetened and vivi-
fed by the STRINGS and heavings of relig-
ious life in the exercises of the prayer circle
at evening. Here is freedom and movement
in the line OF experience If you would
have living and thriving church, maintain
your prayermeetings III full vigor. Be
there; be there TO do something to add to
the Interest of the occasion.-ZiOn's Herald.
