North and South.

At a meeting of northern and south
ern business men in New York, Secreta-
ry Hoke Smith told the company that
the south had $50, 900, 900 acres of land,
most Of which was tillable, and only
one-ifth of which was under cultiva-
ton. That fifth supplies the Union with
it's cotton and nearly all the sugar grown
in this country, not to speak of oranges,
melons and other fruit. Hoke Smith de-
clared that one-third of the agricultural
yield of the entire country came from
the one-fifth Of the south that is under
cultivation. Land can be bought at
from SIS to $40 an acre, good land. The
yield per acre is twice as large in the
south as in the north, he said. As to
the mineral resources of the south, they
had not yet been so much as touched,
and. they were unexcelled anywhere.
The secretary declared in the most SOL
emn manner that northern mems inter-
ests would be protected if they went
south to build homes. Southern people
would guarantee it. .t -l.. IT,
At the same meeting plan and scope
committee was appointed to devise ways
and means to bring northern capital and
immigration to the agriculture and mines
of the south. Some Of the best known,
most solid men of both sections are serv-
ing on the committee. ..-

too badly used in marching and fighting
to risk an assault Meanwhile Gilmor's
rough and ready horsemen had galloped
on to the line Of the Baltimore and Phila-
delphia railroad and cut the communica-
tions north. Johnson7s cavalry brigade
performed the same servSce on the North:
ern Central, and Washington was as much
isolated from the north as it had been in
April 1851, that too, with a hostile army
marching upon it across Maryland soil.
Late on the 18th the straining eyes Of
the president his cabinet and the promi-
nent civil and military officials saw from
the bastions of Fort Stevens the gray ranks
of Breckinridge Gordon and Ramseur in
full battle array, closing in on the volun-
teer skirmishers and driving them back
toward the works. The departments had
been emptied in order to man the parapets

the most part had never handled a musket

The Sixth corps veterans had not yet ar
rived. EARLY was for forcing an attack
without delay, but when it came to his
generals they said that the soldiers were
too much exhausted by Che rapid march
from the Monocacy. Positions were seized
upon high ground commanding Fort
Stevens, and the army bivouacked, with
it's pickets exchanging shots with the SEN
tinels guarding the gates OF Washington.
It is needless to say that no sleep came to
the eyes Of the faithful in the capital that
night Wheaton's brigade of the Sixth
corps, vanguard Of the reserves, relieved
the pickets at Fort Stevens in the evening,
and the Confederates soon found out, as
they had done at .Monocacy. that the pros
pect of walkover against militia was at

Out ofWork.

Those three words are the dolefulest
In the English language. There is moth
ing more melancholy than to see per-
sons able and willing to work asking
only the chance to earn their bread, with
others usually dependent upon them,
yet with no work to do. At such times
the civilized man is worse off than the i
barbarian.
But it is exactly at such times that
each person should do the hardest think
Ing of his life. After this hard think
ing let him conclude that he will take
the first thing that offers, no matter
what it is. The man who has adapt
ability will never get left. The man
| who has no adaptability can cultivate
it quickly enough when he has moth
ing to eat Lately an ablebodied young
man passed through small city beg
ging his bread. He had trade, but
shops had shut down. It never had oc-
CURED to this man, whose mind had hith-
erto run in one little groove, to look for
anything else than work at his own
trade. One person at whose house he
begged food suggested to him that he
might earn it instead by doing a good
job Of housekeeping that was needed
just then.
The tramp laughed at first, then
adopted the suggestion. He was good
natured and strong. He set in and
washed windows and scrubbed floors
with a will, and earned enough that day
to provide him with food and lodging for
the next. He found he really had new
trade on which he could fall back at any
time. With this knowledge he went on
his way. He would thenceforth neither
have to steal rides on train nor unman
; himself by begging, for in any village he
, could get window washing, scrubbing
, and cleaning to do.
Whatever work will tide over the hard
; times till one can find regular employ
ment again is to be welcomed. Every
} new trade a man or woman acquires
! gives new weapon with which to fight
the world. The machinist who can dc
+ farm work, the dressmaker who can and
. will take housework, has two trades in
stead Of one and double chance. More
over, the foundations Of many Of the
l greatest fortunes have been laid by per
: sons accepting the work that was near
. est, although they did not like it best al
the time. Fate often knows better what
we want than we ourselves know.
