This amount Of clear profits will
more than meet his payments.
Now, Mr.. Editor, another great
advantage such man would have,
is the sympathy of the whois commu-
nifty, because every effort Of his
shows willingness and promptness
to pay up. But how, some will say,
if he has no horse or real estate of
his own. Why, then he must rent
and manage the same way. He must
exercise greater patience and perse-
verance, economize more closely and
time will work him right 4 times ont
of 6.
IA Farmer" does not seem to have
much faith in our Society carrying
out its advice. He imagines every
one is in the same FIX, and that may
be, but he knows that does not justify
him in his Inconsistency. He writes
as member but don't taink, If q
paying member, he attends often
enough to reap the benefits, and
therefore has gotten himself into
trouble with cotton down. i'll know
ga Farmer" and / think I do, he
should not to-day complain of one
dollars debt. He got in and stayed
in by not managing as have direc-
ted after it was made. He finds now
there is no other chance but to make
save and pay out, and will plant
both.side crop-right and left-to
make sure work. I trust he will
succeed anu 6e able soon TO eniuy
the pleasures Of cash trade.
Our people have become accus-
toned to liens and advances, and
have lost sight of the pleasure of
cash trade. A MEMBER OF THE

simply "a waste of our time, q waste |
oflabor and indulgences in social
extravaganza that blinded our senses
and prevented US from laying tip for
a rainy day. Wo cannot bring back
the past, I will bluntly say, therefore
IL was our own fault--our want of a
proper management. Debts were
contracted when cotton was high and
the money wasted. Some, yes many
up to this time have not paid up and
now cry out because cotton is down
10 or cents per pound: 1--WE
cannot pay debts" What strange
inconsistency, can take q bale Of
cotton at 8 cents per ponnd and buy
more than when It sold at 16 cents.
If one has the will, the energy and
manages properly, I say a moderate
debt can be paid. I will suppose, or
suggest, as an instance, a family Of
working man with wife and three or
four children paying tax on real
estate'an personal property, and
plantation necessarics worth 81 900
or 81 500, who has a debt Of $500
hanging over him. He wants to pay
the interest, S1O0 on the principal, his
taxes and support the family in u
healthy, not extravag ant, condition.
Extravaganza heretofore has swal.
lowcd up the earning that should
have gone to the payment of debts.
10 do this, he should Immediately do
away with all luXuries, cut loose
from all time killing and eXtravagant
company outside Of sociel neighhorly
business, simply because the interest
of his family is dearer TO him than
anything else. He should hirelthree
hands beside himself at $50 each and
utilize his and their time TO advan-
tage. because time lost is money
thrown away. Like the slow drip
ping of water, it wears that away
which can never be replaced. The
proper employment Of time is the
more necessary because careless and
speculative management brings on
accidents that generally cause ex-
pense and often destroy the profits,
With this precaution, judicious man.
agement, hard work and ordinary
lands and seasons, he should make
twenty bales of cotton, four hundred
pounds each, $50 bushels of corn, &C

Inent. This property, consisting Of dia-
monds mostly, amounted to over aquar-
ter of a million dollars in value, and
these the plaintiff was required to carry
about on his own person when the lady
had no personal use for them. In order
to facilitate his guardianship over them
when in use, she introduced him in New
York as her brother, so that he could
have the entree to the fashionable circles
she frequented and be at hand well
armed to protect her from any attempted
robbery: He also discharged all the
other duties of travelling courier, and
states that after being taken to Paris he
was summarily discharged without any
compensation after six months of very
dangerous service. His claim for these
six months service is $4,000, and Mrs.
Theresa Bell now enjoys the sensation of
a real attachment, if she never did before
in her life.

IT happens to but few ladies in this or
any other country to be SO overburdened
with diamonds and other jewelry as to
require an armed escort to travel with
them from place to place and to mount
guard over them and their belongings at
private parties and balls. But this was
the misfortune of Mrs. Bell, wife of a
millionaire of San Francisco, now domi.
ciled at the Hoffman House in the city
" New York.
An order of attachment was recently
sued out against this lady by one Charles
Dean, musician, who alleges that she
employed him in January, 1873, in the
City of San Francisco, to travel with hel
in this country and Europe, and to par.
ticularly protect that large amount oi
valuables she found necessary to carry
about with her for her personal adorn.

Heaven.

Beyond these chilly winds and gleemy skies.
Beyond deaths cloudy portal,
There is a land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal.
A land whose light is never dimmsd By
r. shade,
Whose fields are ever vernal;
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair Its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through these enchanted bowers.
The cty's Ginning towers we may not see,
With our dim earthly vision;
For death, the silent warder keeps the key
That opes the gates elysian.
But sometimes, when a-down the western
sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly
Unlocked by silent fingers.
And while they stand moment half ajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar,
And hall reveal the story
oh, land unknown, oh lnnd Of love divinei
Father. all wise, eternal,
Guide, guide these wandering way-worn feet
of mine
Into those pastures vernal.

SIXTY years ago to-day, if we may
trust the records, vigorous infant made
its initial steps in locomotion, and day
and night ever since he has kept up his
tireless tramp, increasing always in speed
and strength until his powerful tread
shakes the earth, and the rumble and
roar of his coming is heard everywhere.
Sixty years ago the first American loco,
motive, as locomotive in. fact, was born
and those wheels, which have revolution
lied the world in their own innumerablt
revolutions, first commenced to go round
Within these three-score years the
healthy infant has developed into the
head of race of leviathans, whose snort
is more formidable than the snort of the
war-horse. The sphere of his usefulness
has grown until the iron-horse obeys the
command of man like thing of life, and
the extent of his domain has become SO
great that his tracks overspread the land
like spider-webs.

RARE PLANT.-In one Of the plant-houses
in the Cambridge Botanical Garden is what
is considered the rarest of North American
plants, Shorita galacifolia. The elder Mi
chaux discovered it in the mountains of
North Carolina in 177S, and his mutilated
specimen, preserved in the berbarium of
the Paris Jardn des Plantes, has until late
ly been the only indication that such a
plant existed in the American fora. Fre-
quent and careful search has been made for
this charming herb by all botanists visiting
the Southern AlleghaIies since Michaux's
years from it's first discovery, was it seen
again, and probably in Michaux's very To-
cality, which, however he failed to record.
The honor of this interesting rediscoyery
belongs to G. M. Hyams resident of
Statesville, N. G. Another and closely al
lied species of Shorita is found in Japan.

The biggest boy in the school at Tattell,
Md, disobeyed the mistress, who attempted
to punish him. He knocked her down and
went home. His father returned with him
to the school, put whip into the teachers
hands, and told her to chastise him all she
wanted to. She thought at first that she
would decline the privilege, and trust to
the effect of her forbearance for the boy's
reformation; but she changed her mind,
and piled the whip until she tainted from
over exertion.
