ual word of 1t, good or bad. Sorra bit
of me knows what It's about at ALL"
"And yet you say 1t did you power
of goodY"
$50 1t did, sir. will stick to that,
sir.n
CT don't see how"
Well, now, yer honor, look here.
There's my shirt that the wife is after
washing: and clean and white 1t Is, by
reason of all the water and the soap and
the starch that's gone through It. But
hot drop of 'em all-water, or soap, or
starch, or blue has stayed in dye see.-
And that's just the same with me, yer
honor, AN it's dried out of me; but all
the same, just like my Sunday shirt, Pm
the better and the cleaner after it."
There was more philosophy than he
was aware of in the quaint reasoning of
the man. An impression for good or
evil is often left upon the mind and
bears fruit, when what has caused the
influence has passed away from our
memories.

A New Hand at the Bellows.

During the journey of Emperor
Joseph II. to Italy, one of the wheels of
his coach broke down on the road, so
that it was with difficulty he reached a
small village at short distance. On
his arrival there His Majesty got out at
the door of the only blacksmith's shop
the town afforded and desired him to
repair the wheel without delay.
q" That would gladly do,' replied
the smith, but it being holiday all
my men are at church; the very boy
who blows the bellows is not at home"
"An excellent method then presents
of warming oneself" replied the EN-
peror, not revealing who he was, and he
Immediately set about blowing the bel
lows, while the blacksmith forged the
iron, The wheel being repaired, six soils
were demanded for the job !; but the
Emperor gave him six ducats. The
blacksmith returned them to the traveller
saying:
4" Sir, you have made mistake, and
instead of six soils you have given me
six pieces of gold, which no one in the
village can change"
(" Change them when and where you
can, said the Emperor, stepping into his
carriage; "an Emperor should pay
for such pleasure as that of blowing
the bellows"

His Temperance Story.

An old soldier, relating his experience
at temperance meeting, said that at
one time he got possession of two kegs
of whisky, took them to camp, put q
faucet in one of them, and passed the
whisky around among the boys until
they all were pretty full. About the
time the keg was empty, he said, for
moment his conscience told him he was
doing wrong. He picked up an AK and
knocked the head of the other keg in,
and-(here he was interrupted by the
deacons' startling cry of "Amen ~
"Thanl1 God!" "Glory be to God !')
After the house became quiet, he con-
tinued: Il knocked in the head of that
keg, gave the boys tin cup, and told
them to help themselves"

received as little consideration After
much hesitation biI, pas-ed rbe Senate
appropnaGng g., 500 to carry out the
scheme. This is a friAing pittance when
it is considered that il is designed to en-.
able the Superintendent 10 discharge his
responsible duties; but small as il is, il Is
better than nothing and may do for the
beginning Of a great work which will add
untold numbers to the population, and
immense wealth to the industry and tax
able resources of the State.
Thus far Mississippi has done nothing
to promote immigration, nothwithsand
ing her millions Of waste lands convenient
10 market and fertile soil, which IL
only waiting for the husbandmen to
smile with bountful crops No State
has ever received accessions to its popu.
lation from other States and abroad with
out bureau TO promote immigration.
Texas is case in point. A few years
ago her Legislature appropriated $4,000
10 establish bureau Of that description,
ard placed Gen. Robertson, a competent
man, at the head Of il. 1t was not long
before a small body Of hardy and frugal
Tuetons had entered the Lone Star
State. This served as nucleus, and
now there are not less us, 900 people OF
that race settled within her borders A
dense stream Of immigration has also
poured into Texas from the Northwest,
from the States of Iowa, Illinois and In
diana. Even the other Southern States,
Mississippi among the rest, notwithstand-
ing her Superior advantages, has fur
nished her contributions to the food tide
Of humanity that is pouring into Texas.
These various elements are, one and all,
aiding in the upbuildiug Of a giant com.
monwealth.
Virginia, sterile and worn out as she is
known to be, established her Immigra-
ton Bureau and went to work in the same
way as Texas; and she is constantly re-
ceividg immigrants from Europe and
the Northern States. She welcomes
immigration from every quarter very
heartily, and glad to receive the hundreds
OF English families who have settled in
some sections Of the State. The Eng
lish generally bring goodly sums of
money, and settle in fine farming or
stock raising countries, where they often
accumulate large fortunes. 1t is not
necessary to say that the States material
prosperity will be fully assured, and all
classes will work tremendously together.
Texas, Virginia aud Florida are all
shining examples of what organized
effort to promote immigration, can &c
complish. Other Southern States are
beginning to give earnest attention to this
subject of ali influx of population from
the outer world; and Mississippi cannot
afford to be laggard in tho movement.
