Everything connected with the prosperity of
the South seems TO Indicate the necessity Of
changing very materially the system of agricul-
ture. Some of our planters, who are favorably
situated find it to their advaptaGe TO keep up
their large plantations and to employ largo
force. Every must. OF course be his own
Judge in this matter. But, as a general rule,
the want of cheap labor to keep the drains and
bitches open, to keep the fences up and a general
system OF improvement OH the farms, plainly in
dlcaes the necessity of reducing tho size of our


f;arrus aud leasing them to good tenants, at rea-
| sonable prices, in order to the improvement Of
the lands.


Skilled labor aud ordinary industry and foro-
cast will soon convince every one, that the sys-


TEN Of small farms offers the highest Inducements


to the future we'll being of the community. We


must try the adoption Of the shift system or
| change of crops leaving lands uncultivated with


a coat Of clover under fence to prevent grazing,


the cultivation Of the cereals and the grasses,
well as every other article needed either for home
consumption or market produce. Let every
| person plant an orchard OF choice fruits. There


is scarcely anything more profitable, and certain
! ly nothing more attractive to make home pleas
ant to a family. -.....-

These prices are one hundred and
twenty five per cent. above the quo
tations for average crop seasons, pre-
viOus to 1860, aud are the consequence,
not of the depreciation Of paper
money, but of deficient supplies.


To the agricultural interests of the
country, therefore, we must look for
relief from the arrangement and de-
preston of business. The artificial
business. caused by the war, carried Us
through the first five years of this de-
cade with apparent success, but Of this
artificial business we have seen the
end, and are now experiencing the.
real fruits. The way out Of our
trouble is not through financial legis-
latiOn or make-shifts of any kind, but
through hard work that will, under
the favor of Providence, cause the
fields to blossom and bring forth
abundantly the food necessary to the
support and comfort of man. The
young men who spend their time on
street corners will accomplish nothing
in the work of recovery; nor will the
surplus men employed in trading, or
behind counters. These
mist be starved into the country,
while to the farmers we must look for
that work which will give strength to
the foundations of business by increas-
ing the supply, and thereby cheapen-
ing the price of food.


It is too early, of course, to form an
opinion as to the next crops. The
winter, thus far, has been favorable to
wheat, and farmers never had great
er inducements to plow broadly for
the spring crops. Labor will be more
in the country than it has
been for six years past, and with a IA
vorable season, we shall, no doubt,
have heavy harvest. With such a
result, a marked improvement in
business would be experienced; but
upon the harvest everything depends.

DR.. WinsloW wisely says there is no


fact more clearly established in the


physiology of man than this, that the


brain expands its energies and itself


during the hours of wakefuIness, and


that these are recuperated during
sleep. If the recuperatiOn does not
equal the expenditure, the brain with
ers-this is insanity. Thus it is that


in early English history, persons who


were condemned to death by being
prevented from sleeping, always died
raving maniacs; thus it is also, that
those who are starved to death become
insane-the brain is not nourished and
they cannot sleep. The practical in
ferences are three:-1st, Those who
think most, who do most brain work,
require most sleep. I'd, That time
'saved'' from necessary sleep is infali-
bly, destructive to the mind, body and
estate. Give yourself, your children,
your servants-give all that are under
you, the fullest amount of sleep they
will take, by compelling them to go
to bed at some regular hour, and to
rise in the morning the moment they
awake, and within fortnight, nature,
with almost the regularity of the ris-
ing sun, will unloose the bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants Of the

When Secured Clnins May be Secured.


Before Judge Blatchford.


In the Matter or Henry c. Bolton, bGaaA57lpt.-This
case Is before Register Ketchum, and on recent
hearing the following point came up:-It Is con-
trover:ed by counsel for the bankrupt, but upon
the part OF counsel for certain creditors. It
Is claimed that creditor having pledge of
personal property given to him by the bankrupt
and third person in the of their business as
coparners cotrading or lien thereon for securing
the payment Of a debt owing to said creditor from
the sad bankrupt should be admitted at meeting
OF the creditors OF tie debtor to prove their debts
and choose one or more assgnees of his estate held
at Court OF Bankruptcy in accordance with the
provisions of the eleventh and other sections of the
act OF Congress of March 1867, to prove his whole
debt without, by so doing, abandoning his security
losing MS lien thereon, or in any manner preudicing
or forleiting his rights to the same.


The Register, upon the above, says-'T am OF
opinion that the creditor having security may prove
his claim to the amount exceeding the value thereof
without abandoning the same; but l think the
creditor Is bound to set forth the valne OF his Sc
curity and that he may vote a creditor in respect
to the overplus proven by him upon the choice Of
assignee

ferred for decision, dsposes Of it thus:-"The view
