ne Honorable, Boys.

Boys and young men sometimes start
out in life with the idea that ones sue
cess depends on sharpness and chicane-
ry. They imagine if man is always
able to get the best of bargain no
matter BY what deceit and meanness he
carries bis point, that his prosperity is
assured. That is a great mistake. En-
during prosperity can not be founded
on cunning and dishonesty. The tricky
and deceitful man is sure to fall VIC
tim, sooner or later, to the influences
which are forever working against him.
His house is built upon the sand, and
its foundation will be certain to give
way. Young people cannot give these
truths too much weight. The future of
that young man is safe who escheWs
every shape Of double dealing, and lays
the foundation of his career in the en-
during principles of truth.

The South il, 1855.

The Baltimore Manufacturing Record
says: Notwithstanding the general de-
preston in the business world during
the past year, the South made very
substantial progress, and enters upon
the new year with brighter prospects
than at any time within the last twenty
years certainly, if not the brightest in
her entire history. The great staple,
cotton, upon which so much of the
South's business depends, was short in
yield it is true but it is partly counter
balanced by the high grade, due TO the
excellent picking weather in the fall,
and to the higher value of cotton as
compared with last year The net re-
suits of the crop, counting the reduced
cost Of production, owing TO enforced
economy on the part Of planters in the
spring, and the full prices now being
received, will make the crop of 1884
Fery nearly equal in value to the pro-
dueers to an ordinary full crop. Added
to this is the greatly enlarged yield of
cereals, fruits, vegetables, etc, grow
ing factor in the prosperity of the South.
While farmers have thus far made good
progress, and are as class more pros
porous than in former years, the indus
trial interests of the South have increas-
ed more rapidly than ever before. The
depression in trade and manufactures
was, of course, seriously felt in the
South as elsewhere, but, despite this,
there was a remarkable growth in man
ufactures, and an immense amount of
money was invested in manufacturing
and mining interests. In the building
of new railroads and the Improvement
of the old ones great progress was also
made.
The new year finds the Southern peo-
pie fairly prosperous and thoroughly
alive to the Importance of developing
their great resources. The South is,
moreover, now attracting greater atten-
ton in other sections of the United
States and in Europe than ever before,
and while her own people are doing an
immense amount of work in building
new mills, furnaces and factories, out
side capital is being invested there by
the millions and even tens of millions.
The present year promises to witness a
activity in the development
of the material interests of. the South,
and we feel safe in predicting that dur
ing 1885 more money will be put into
new manufacturing and mining enter
prises in the South, than in any two
years
