A Remarkable Suggestion.

Recent changes in the cotton mar
ket evoke from the Providence Jour
nal the expression of apprehension
lest the Southern States may be over
doing the cotton growing industry.
Our Providence contemporary grave
ly observes that sis looks very much
as if we were raising more cotton
than is really needed" and it adds
that sit is getting to be a very Sc
rious question whether the Southern
farmers could not make more money
by somewhat curtailing the cotton
crop and devoting little more atten-
ton to other agricultural product"
There have been times in the history
of Southern agriculture when there
was urgent need for incalculating the
wisdom of diversifying products, but
we fear that the suggestion of our
Providence contemporary will strike
the Southern farmers as rather hu.
merous, in view of the fact that they
have just disposed of the largest crop
ever produced, at the highest aver
age price that has been realized for a
considerable period of years. If the
exceptionally large crop had been
sold at low prices in consequence of
an excessive supply, there would
have been room for an excessive sup
ply, there would have been room for
the suggestion of the Providence
FORMAL, but when results have been
as satisfactory as they have been this
year, not only as regards the enor-
nous crop but the price obtained for
it, the proposition that the crop be
curtailed will hardly be considered a
timely one.-JOurndL.

The Idea of the Spinning Jenny.

James Hargraves dropped upon
his knee and rolled on the floor at
length He lay with his face toward
the floor, and made lines and circles
with the end of a burnt stick. He
rose and went to the fire TO burn his
stick. Then he sat upon a chair and
placed his head between his hands,
elbows ON his knees, and gazed in
tently to the floor. Then he sprang
to his feet, and replied to some fee
bic question of his wife, who had not
risen since the day she gave birth to
a little stranger, by loud assurance
that he had it; and taking her in his
arms in the blanket, the baby in her
arms, he lifted her out and held her
over the black drawing ON the floor.
These he explained, and she joined
in a small, hopeful, happy laugh with
his high toned assurance that she
should never again toll at the spin
ming wheel; that he should never
again "play," and have his loom
standing for want of weft.
Our fortune is made when that Is
made,' said he, speaking of his draw
ings on the floor.
'What will you call it?' asked his
wife.
Call it? What, and if we call it
after myself, Jenny? They called
thee "Spinning Jenny" afore / had
thee, because thou beat every lass in
Stanchill Moor ar the wheel. What
if we call it Spinning Jenny"
The Spinning Jenny could spin
twelve threads, instead of one, as by
hand spinning.

How to Educate Women.

Once give full scope to the express
sion of woman's powers, in any and
every form of activity that may cor
respond to those powers relieve
alike from fear of poverty and de-
pendence, and from the tyranny of
enforced inactivity; and womanhood
will blossom into beauty and
strength and loveliness of character
hitherto undreamed Of Especially
in the home relations of women will
this be apparent. As an earnest
thinker upon the subject has said, sit
is inevitable that the removal of any
external pressure of necessity to mar
ry for the sake of a home and sup
port will have tendency to elevate
the standard of marriage, first among
women and then among men," One
of the greatest foes to happy mar
riages is the existence Of the merce-
nary spirit on the part of parents and
daughters. Nothing will so effective
ly remove it as the possession by
young girls and women of satisfacto-
ry, honorable, remunerative occupa-
tions, and the countenance and APP
probation of society in the pursuit of
them. Margaret Fuller said ''No
woman can give her hand with digni-
ty until she has learned to stand
alone" The day is near at hand
when the thoroughly educated woman
will be the one admiringly described
by Goethe as cable, if necessary, to
be both father and mother to her
children Here will be found the
true conditions for forming love-in-
spired marriages, and, as a conse-
quence, the ceasing to be of any 9TH
er kind. And while we open to them
the door of freedom to find that high
est heaven of earthly happiness-the
lone builded upon love and happy
we at the same time furnish
them with key to escape from that
Bastile, that hell-a marriage from
which love and respect have depart

An Inauspicious Beginning.

Preparations for commencing the
construction of that great lighthouse
on Outer Diamond Shoals, off Cape
Hatteras, the plan of which was late
ly described in these columns, have
opened rather inauspiciously. A
steamer, with Captain John +. And
erson, the contractor for the work, on
board, left New York some days ago
for the purpose of taking soundings
on the shoal and ascertaining the
character of the bottom. When the
steamer arrived off Hatteras the
weather was found to be squally, with
a heavy sea rolling in from the south
east, and the shoals were covered
with a white whirl of water, with oc-
casional waves rising % or 30 feet in
air. The steamer could not venture
to approach the shoals, and sounding
was entirely impossible. So the OBJ
iect of the expedition had to be aban-
doned, and it is so late and the peri
cd of winter tempests is so near at
hand that the contractor will post
pone further preparations until May.
There are plenty of predictions that
the lighthouse never can be built, but
the contractor is held by an ironclad
contract, and he stoutly adheres to
his determination to carry it out, in
spite of the fact that there are only
a few days in the year when the
stoutest vessel could live on the spot
where he is to sink his caisson through
20 feet of turbulent water and an I'M
known depth of shifting sands until
it strikes firm bottom. This caisson
is to contain in the beginning 1900
tons of iron. 1t will cost $4,000,
and be constructed at Atlantic City,
120 miles away. 1t may be said with
perfect truth that if this new Halter
as lighthouse is ever completed, it
will be one of the most notable en-
gineering achievements of the age

Choice Selections.

The unrest of this weary world is
its unvoiced cry after God.
The more honesty a man has, the
less he affects the air of a saint.
The religion that don't make peo-
pie religious, is not good kind to
have.
Busy lives like busy waters, are
generally pure. Stagnant lives like
stagnant pools, breed corruption.
1t is always more wholesome exer-
else to discover our duties than to as
sert our rights.
Prayer is not eloquence, but ear
nestness; not the definition of help
lessness, but the feeling of it no fig
ures of speech, but conjunction of
soul.
What are sciences but maps of uni
versal laws? And universal power
but the outgoing of universal mind Z

Christian1ty's Duty to the Tndustr1-
al Slave.

Recent certified revelations have
laid bare the multiplied horrors and
depravities of the tenement popula-
ton Of the great cities, where forty
one out of every hundred families live
each in single room, where the poor
est pay more rent than the richest for
each cubic foot of space and air
These facts put it beyond question
that, in the name of common human
ity, and as sure as there is an ethical
element in Christianity at all. there
are social sins and human equities
which have more urgent and imper-
alive claim on the consideration of
ecclesiastical councils and of weekly
sermons than any question of disc-
pine, ritual, hymnology, or predes-
tination. 1t is not necessary to call
out the names of real estate tyrants
or savage sweaters in New York and
Philadelphia. There is sense of
right, after all, which can be reached
and stirred without personal vituper-
alton, by men called and set apart to
holy offices, if they are sincere and
candid, and if their lives agree with
their preaching. Is it said this would
foster violence and provoke insurrec-
tionary clamor? Telling the truth has
generally been safe in the long run,
and it was never safer than it is now,
when the truth is likely to be told at
any rate. An earnest and patient
treatment of social wrongs by wide
and large-hearted church is as likely
as congress or the courts to heal dis
content and forestall instruction.
Suppose the Churchmen and the dis
senters had seen their duty, and had
discharged it with clearsightedness
and courage; who can doubt that
English statesmen, Parliament, and
people would have found out in less
than three generations that, through
monstrous manufacturing interests
and their incalculable profits, En-
gland, since the factory system came
in, has made itself infamous by the
most hideous and brutal form of
slavery ever known to the civilized
world-the white slavery which, on
vast scale, has tasked, tortured and
slaughtered children under ten years
of age, exterminated chastity and de-
cency in the dwellings of factory
workers, turned men into brutes, and
made society into a hell? Would
Lord John Russell's remark still be
true, that cit takes England forty
years to accomplish reform admit
ted to be necessary %

After Forty.

Aft.r forty, locks grow thinner,
We grow stouter-there's the rub
Linger longer DER our dinner,
Shrink the matutinal tub,
After forty we get lazy,
To the lads the girls resign
They may firt with Dot and Daisy
Whilst we loiter Ger our wine!

Aches and pains distinctly new.
Once a lobster salas lover,
Now we court the homely stew!

Sad to tell, an easy prey;
Leaving lightsomeness behind us,
We grow grIver day by day

And we growl at aught encroaching
On our precious forty winks-
Der stile we cross with caution,
We, once agile as roe;
For life's autumn is our portion,
And it's spring went long ago!
After forty, grey boards claim us
Quite as one of them-ah me!
Men of sixty thus defame us
We are only forty-three!
Old Jim Crow, too, scrawls with pleasure
After forty, on our phiz!
Time who picks our locks at leisure,
Winks at wigs-the horrid quiz.
What's the moral of the matter?
This, and lay it well to heart;
After forty, cease light chatter,
Act no more the STRIPPING part!

In old fogie's ranks plac;

Sam Jones' Sayings.

I'm so glad that | don't preach
like other preachers and I'm so
glad that whenever any one else tries
to preach like l do he can't do it.
Most preachers could learn from
the old darkey down south, who said
Ny sermon will be divided into three
parts-de text, de subject matter,
and de arousements and, seeing it
is SO warm, we'll leave off the first
two parts and take to the arouse
ments.
I've never said vulgar thing in
the pulpit, never. When horse has
sore spots on him he thinks a curry
comb is vulgar, but when he is sound
he likes it.
The dog barks and whines at the
moon, but the moon shines on; and
so your uncle Jones is going to let
folks scold and howl, and he will try
to just shine right on.
The homes of this country are the
key to success, or to failure. And
as many homes have been turned over
to worldliness and folly, multitudes
are going to the devil.
A man will pay dollar day to
have his horse trained right, and be
careful to have it sheltered from ev-
cry danger; but we let our children
came up as they will.
Don't let the bad children get into
your yard, even if their parents are
rich.
You say l don't preach the gospel
but you, poor soul, you would
not know the gospel if you
should meet it coming down the road.
Nine-tenths of the old people are
after the dollars, and nine-tenths of
the young are after good time, and
it is hard to tell which are the biggest
fools
If God loves everybody, then will
not everybody be saved? No. for
love never saved anybody. If it did,

A man gives his wife $50 to buy a
new dress, and she needs it; but she
takes the money to buy coal and pay
rent for some poor woman. She has
more religion than one who rides to
missionary meeting in 5000 car
riage and then pays her monthly sub
scription of ten cents.
1t takes two things to make a
Christian First, to realize that God
loves you, and second, for you to
pitch in and love God all you can.
God never forces a crown upon
anybody who doesn't want it; if he
did the rascal would go and sell it

Prescriptions for Fits.

Though no doctor, | have by me
some excellent prescriptions, and as
| charge you nothing for them, you
can not grumble at the price. We
are most of us subject to fits: and 1
am subject to them myself land ] dare
say you are subject to them also.
Now then, for my prescriptions.
For a fit of passion, walk out in
the open air. You may speak your
mind to the air without hurting any
one, or proclaiming yourself to be a
simpleton.
For fit of idleness, count the
tickings of clock. Do this for one
hour and you will be glad to pull off
your coat the next and work like a
negro.
For fit of extravaganza and folly,
go to the work-house, or speak with
the ragged and wretched inmates of
jail, and you will be convinced,
Who maketh his bed of briar or thorn
Must be content to lie forlorn.
For fit of ambition, go into the
churchyard and read the gravestones.
They will tell you the end of ambl-
ton.
For fit of repining, look about
for the halt and blind, and visit the
bedridden and afflicted, and they will
make you ashamed of complaining of
your lighter Affections.
For a fit of dependency, look on
the good things which have been Civ
en- you in the world. He who goes
into his garden to look for cobwebs
and spiders will find them, while he
who looks for flower may return
into his house with one blooming in
his button-hole.
