A wick for lamps is now manufactured en-
tirely of glass by Messrs. Voubriel q Beck, of
Hansu, Germany. 1t is designed chiefly for
use in petroleum and spirit lamps and with
an equal amount of the wick turned up it
gives much brighter light than cotton wick.
In the spirit lamp, too, it is found to greatly
increase the heat of the flame. No sparks are
given off by this incombustible wick, nor does
the light flare in draughts to the extent which
it does with a burning wick hence IL makes
the lamp safer. The smoking is also reduced,
and it is stated that ten per cent of oil is
saved by its use. OF course the disagreeabie
task of trimming the lamp is rendered unue-
cessary, for being of glass tho wick does not
consume, but wastes away very slightly by

The Minister'S Horse.

An intelligent foreigner, visiting Nav
England hundred years ago. would
have noticed two prominent traits as
characterizng the people, One was
sIDgleness of purpose; the other was the
resolnteness with which everything in
terfering with the attainment of that
purpose was pnt inside.
LII yonng man purposed to he far.
mer, or sailor. or merchant. or a
LAWYER. or physroian or clergyman.
hn went forward to what he had mazda
up his mind to be. in as STRAIGHT
road as circumstances would permit.
He might not travel "a the crow flies

linary life to tHke the shortest liue-brt
he went, jogging doRgedly along, up
hill and down hi'l. over streams and
marshes. Like the Roman soldier. he
lived frugailv. and carried as little i'm.
rediments fthe significant Latin name
for haqqage) as possible. He laid aside
every weight. and did one thing.
An snecdote Of m old time minister
illustrates how these two traits gave
character to religious life.
Rev. Noah Benedict was Que OF the
three pastors whose united service in
the church Mt Woodbury., Conn, coy-
erad the long period of one hundred
and fifty wears. He was a good man.

But his pulpit was his FIRST love, and
everything which was likely to tempt
him to Withdraw his mind from that
waa put ont OF the way.
He Ind Young horse, sound. gentle.

parish admired the minister's horse.
Bnt one day. TO his surprise Of his
friends. Mr.. Benedict sold his fsvorite.
One of his astouished neighbors asked
the renaon,
"He was growing unruly," replied
the pastor.
"Bnt I thonght him a very orderly

"No: he was growing qnite unruly."
answered the Minister che once got

time to part with him.
The zea'ous clergyman would allow
nothing TO interfere with his purpose
of life. If any of onr readers wonI1

cutting off the hand and plucking ont
the eye, let them read Matt. xiii. s, 8.
in the light OF this anecdote.

What the South Needs.

1st. What the South needs IS fewer
elections and less politics.
81. More farmers III our Legislatures
81. More agricultural schools SO AS to
make agriculture, the chief souoce OF
our national wealth. more respectable
thorough more intelligent cultme. and
wiser systems OF conducting our farms
4th. We watt more sheep-more
cattle-more 3 hogs-more and better
broods of stock of every class and var
iety
5th. We want more grass and clover
more grain and less cotton.
9Th. We must cultivate less land aud
more thoroughly.
7th. We must raise our own supplies
and become an exporter OF provisions
and agricultural products, inetead 81
importers of the articles.
Sth We must understand that we
have the best agricultural comfy upon
the face of the earth, and that we need
moie brairs and muscle to develop it.
9th. The brightest sons should be
educated for the farm, and the lovliest,
prettiest and smartest girls should bt
encouraged to marry farmers, and sc
lend special charm country life-ane
add more dignity and honor to rura
pursuits.
1Osh. Last, though not least, VIZ
should snbscribe for agricultural paper.
published in our own State, and pur
suade our neighbors to do the same.

Cotton Manufacture in the South.

We noticed III our exchanges an ex-
tract from a speech recently delivered
hy MIR. Awtry in the Legislature of
Georgia on the subject of cotton manu-
facture at the South. It contains mat
ter of general interest inasmuch aa what
is said of Georgia can with equal truth
and foroa ne said of uicsirs;.,->i en-i -
Fact OF every c1ttoa growing State,
We quote the extract below:
Georgia prodnced at lsas 500 900
bales of cotton in 1873. THIS cotton,
at the verw low prices that prevailed.
was worth 32Z, 800. 010 If We had oon-
vorted this raw material into yarns and
exported it in that shsp". it wonld have
added 100 per cent TO it's value. In
steal of S22 800 900 We woulsi have had
3t5, OO0,001. II. after converting ii in>
to yarns, We had made cloth of it, we
would have 80 increased its valna that
TIL. crop would have been nearly equsl
to 60 900, 900. As \ matter Of course l
do not pretend to accuracy in this state
nent but offer it as an appreciation
merely to indicate the very great in
crease in value shat results from the
manipua5ious OF the manufacturer.
The most. cot
ton spinner in New England. perhaps
in the world, over the South ana atten
lively considered our advantages, and
he admitted that he could spin cotton
at from to per cent cheaper than he
could in New England. Bnt the truth
IS we can spin cotton from 10 to 12 per
csnt cheaper in Georgia than New Eng
land. The expenses on one hundred
pounds of cotton shipped here from
Providence. Fall River, or ssLjwell, will
amo.nt to12iper cent Oh present prices.
This expense the 'spinner here can
save. or very nearly save; this gives us
in the item of cost of raw material
clear advantage of 10 per cent. THIS
of itself is good profit. In additlon.to
this We have great advantages in CHI
mate and water power. The only ads
vantage that New England has over us
is in skilled labor; buG that advantage
will be temporary. So soon as our peo-
pie turn their attention to cotton spin
ming in earnest this will vanish. The
point I wish to make is this: If New
England eau export cotton goods to the
old world and successfully compete with
English spinners and others right at
their doors. what could not Georgia sdo
with her nnequalled advantages, if her
energies and capital were once turned i'll
this direction?
