p Salata1y Remark.

When I was q young man, there lived in
our neighborhood farmer who was usually
reported TO be very IDoral man, aud un-
commonly upright in his dealings. When
he had any of the produce of his farm to
dispose OF, he made 10 IN inyariable rule to
give good Recommendations more than would
De required Of him. One of his friends OBJ.
serving him frequently doing SO, questioned
him as to why he did il; he told him he
gave too much, and said it wolid be to his
disadvantage. Now, dean reader, mark the
answer OF this excellent man:
God has permitted me but one journey
through the world, and when L am gone
cannot return to rectify mistakes"
Think of this. There is bat one Journey
thE- life.

THE REPU BLTC

It Will be remembered hy the readers OF

mlrkable letter, in May last. purporti7g g
to be written by Nereus, the God Of the

mony. accompanied Ivy the throwing 2
overheard of sn a ,cbor and buoy, from
the steamship Queen OF tn Psri's, off
Cape FORTUNES, for the purpose of Pre-
empting the waters o. all tn salt seas,
embracing thre. quarters OF the globe
and establishing Republic of the
High Seas" naming Fdslgo Island IS be
seat of government of this vast
domain. The mysterious indivi!ull who
performed this strange act claimed to be

T. the editor OF that paper, Leigh r.

dividual who threw the anchor ovcrbolrl
and who by lincal DISC mt iro
the Morse SEA kings modcstly
pro :l.ims himself to be entitled to
collect tribute of one tenth Of
ell the products of this vast
dominion. The following from
the Farmer of Jan. 1st, is Mr.. Freeman

A Georgia Pine That Bears Aeorns

Captain John L. Martin a prominent
citizen of Johnston County. GsoslSis, has
shown the editor of the Washington,
Ga, Recorder an acorn which grew on
a pine tree. Says the Recorder
Near his plantation home, which is
situated eight or ten miles from this
place. stands the tree.a simonpure pine
which bears the unnatural fruit,
The tree is an ordinary, medium size
specimen Of its kind, and to person.
standing twenty steps away, would at
tract no special attention among the
others standing thickly grouped about.
A nearer inspection. however, would
reveal it's remarkable identity. Thickly
perched upon every twig and how are
to be seen these acorns, varying in
size the same as they flourish on their
parent stem, the oak. Interspersed
here and there upon the tree are the
original pine burs. Captain Martin
considers it most remarkable freak
Of nature, and he is certainly correct
He can form no plausible reason for
the amalgamation and cannot in any way
account for the hybrid state thus es.
tablished. The trcc, with the acorn,
on it. is there to show for itself, and the
captain will take pleasure in showing it
to any one who would like 10 see che

cultural pursuits. At least one-halr of
the remainder are directly dependent
upon the farmers for the means of a
livelihood. We may justly claim. then,
that we constitute the State, yet we do
not govern it, nor are the laws admins
tered in our interest. and few are passed
for our benefit.
We pay taxes and vote and there is
no further use for us. These taxes do
not grow any less. while our ability to
pay them grows smaller year by year,
and nothing has been done to foster and
encourage that interest which feeds and
sustains all others. The negroes used
to be the "mudsills" Of our economic
fabric; but thousands Of white men
land owning farmers-are themselves
slowly but surely sinking beneath the
waves to be added to the foundation
upon which few men and corporations
are erecting their fortunes. Impending
bankruptcy stares thousands in the face,
while other thousands are overseeing
their own plantations for their victuals
and clothes.
An insane system of farming largely
prevails and our lands are growing
poorer year by year. Large Arrears Of
South Carolins are being made . desert

State, which, by reason of soil, climate
and geographical position, might be
made veritable Garden Of Eden. The
negroes will "go Wesr' when the bones
are picked. What will we do? We
are farming towards despair in thus
continuing to impovcrish our lands by
ignorant culture, but nothing Is
