There is q gentleman living IN this
county who informs us that several
years ago be was deep in debt, that
he thought there was no chance for
him to ever recover, and bis stock
and lands we're about to be sold by
his creditors. He could get credit
no where, and as he was running a
large number Of plows, his chances
for making a crop we're slim. He
found q friend, however, who loaned
him money to buy his supplies for
one year, still he did not have enough
to run all bis plows, 50 he cut down
thenumber, and being forced to raise
bis own provisions, planted corn,
oats, peas, potatoes, ETC., and put the
surplus 10 cotton. Next he got lot
Of fine pigs and fatlened them for
pork. What was the rcsultg His
barn and smoke house were filed,
and be did not have to ask FOR credit
the next year. He paid part Of bis
cotton TO bis friend, and the rest "a
bis creditors, and by planting the
same crop the next year, and th'
next, be aoon paid bis debts, aut
made himself an independent man.

higher Education for women.

In the matter of education, men
and women should stand upon an
equality AS our colleges and uni
verslties, and in factour whole social
system, are al present constituted,
women are deprived of educalioUal
advantages that are freely given to
the other sex. There is not a single
obstacle interposed in the way of the
boys, but mountains of obstacles are
raised against the girls. What the
female sex has won in the way of
progress and advancement has been
achieved in the face of the gravest
discouragements. They have been
compelled to fight their way into
medicine and law, and, in fact, into
every walk Of life, which promises
the least emolument. The time has
come to give them a fair chance, aud
when the President Of SO old and
venerable sn institution as Columbia
College advocates the throwing down
Of the barriers against them, the day
0ftheir disenthrallment cannot be far
distant.-N Y Herald.
