BY PRESIDENT J. II. CARLISLE. You very kindly called to f-ce me on your way to the school in which you wiii begin your life work. Before leaving you a?ked: 'Have you any i?ttgee<tinns which you would like to give me'?'' (A man never feels his own ignorance so keenly ks when a younger friend makes an appeal like that!) An unexpected interruption, as you may remember, tiirncl the current of o?ir conversation, and your ijues".ion was left unanswered. Recalling your visit, let me offer a few suggestion*, which will at least show my desire to keep you from repeating some mistakes which older teachers have made before you. Go to this strange neighborhood not only as a teacher but as a titan. The man is greater than the teacher. It is needless to warn >jou against the gross faults and vices ofsome who dare logo into the school room. Public opinion is now exacting, and very properly so, on young teacher*. A profane, in temperate or vulgar leader is a shame and a calam? ity which we suppose very few commun? ities in our State are now enduring. Keep y ur reputation and character above just reproach. As one means to this great end, keep your money matters straight. If you ever ask for credit you will never be refused, and your credit will be always good. Keep as near as pessibie to this ideal standard. Take an intelligent interest in the welfare of the community where you teach. Be the friend, and in all proper ways the advocate, of every good cause and of every worthy man. Be neither a hermit nor an avowed ladies'man. Your education pledges you to be something above either of these. As a teacher, take one or two good periodicals about teaching. Attend ''Teachers' Institutes." Bay some of the freshest, best books for teachers. Keep abreast with your profession. Tin re is no royal road to being a good teacher. There is in it no art, or knack, or trick which may be easily learned. In me? chanics a child's hand may touch au ivory key, and great results may follow. It is not so in teaching. No weak man cau teach efficiently. No bad man can be a good teacher. A cunning, unprin? cipled mau may become an expert defec? tive or police officer, but that is a very different matter. Some rules in a school are necessary, as some sea'folding is necessary to au unfinished building. Buys wera not made to keep your rules. Your rules were made to .help boys. Every boy should be rained to become a man who can be a law to himseif by observing the eternal iaws of right. Do not make a hobby of either punishing or of not pun ishing. ''The maximum of good govern? ment, with the minimum of punishment," is a good rr.otto. When necessary, let punishiu'.-i't be private; Public execu ti :?js of every kind are demoralizing. S.-rijus rrbuke may be ueees-ary. Never speak cuttingly to your scholttrs. Do not needlessly muke issues with them. It is just as possible for the teacher as tor the pupil to be in the wrong. Let juMieo and fairness rule in your school room. This will help to create a cheerful, health ? ful tone and atmosphere. Let Iber? be a-* little as possible of unmeaning work done by your elates. Try to make their mental effort;, definite and intelli? gent. Dr. Edward Everett says he rVpeate the old rule about some verbs gnvvrniivj the accusative and geuitive cases a thousand times before he was so furtu riate as to meet a teacher who thought it worth while to give any explanation. He adds that if the rule had been for the verbs Uvpoisopi these cases it would have been all thesame to him. You may full into the very faults which pr iv-jke you in your pupils. Are they in danger of going mechanically ami unintelligent ly through their work? So uwy you through yours. Are they in danger uf beitrg satisfied with lesson getting? So may you be easily satisfied with lesson hearing, without regard to meaning or results. Your chief work is no1, to de? tect, expose or punish ig-r.<rance but to remuve it. Wake up the minds of your scholars by all means. A lesson from the book, or the newspaper, or from life ; an acci deut in the room, the play ground, the neighborhood; au item from the daily ; a; er; a cyclone or fre-het, or riot; the tower in Paris, or a bird'.-nest in the e:?r:l ? any one of these, or all of them, m.?y. help y?>u. Take advantage of any local historical association. From the gullies around the fcchool house 'o the blight stars above it by night, press ail things into your service as object iesson.N The little spring branch, followed tar enough, will lead you to the grciit ? ui. Wake up the moral impulses and .1 lions of your pupils. Our country U not suffering greatly from lack of sm:?rt men ami women. We need gocd men and women ; wise concerning evil. Aim to prepare your scholars not merely for ex? amination but for life. Build up your ??elf and them by aU means.

But tlio c?'-t of these farm supplies, with interest, must ho deducted from the proceed- of the sale of the crop, and then the question is, whether the farmer makes any clear profit after a fair allow? ance T r tlie rent of Iiis land, the iutere.-l upon his capital, and the w?ge? of the laborers. I'll is is done by the merchant, the manufacturer, and ail ethers engaged it: the various branches of industry. If the merchant in the prosecution of hi* business Uriels at the end of the year Hint he has succeeded in paying the rent of his store room, the wagen of his clerks, and oiher employees, find that he has replaced his capital, with interest and nothing more, he wii! be dissatisfied with the result and come to the conclusion that the sooner he quits the busi? ness the better it. will be for him, He will fiinl that he has not been com nensiited for the risk incurred, and the time and labor bestowed in the prosecu? tion of the; business, and that tlie same amount ol"capital invested at interest, on good real or personal security, would yield him the same income without any labor or trouble whatever. This is true in reference to all the other branches of industry. The farmer must likewise replace his capital, with interest, after all expenses are paid, and make a clear profit besides, or the business of forming cattnot be profitable. The three agents of production are laud, capital and labor. The farmer must iucrease the value of his land by the erection of the necessary dwelling houses and outbuildings, and by manur? ing it so as to increase its productive powers, and the crop must furnish the means of effecting these improvements. This he cannot neglect) becau-e it is one 4if the condition* of his prosperity. Say, in his pdiitical economy, says that tbc other items of his capita! consist of farm? ing implements and machinery, the live stock employed in tilling (he soil, the seed grain and provisions of differed kinds necessary for the support of the working animals und laborers dur inn die progress ol the work, and money enough to pay tin; wages of the laborers. That some of these item.-, of capita! may last for years, such as the buildings on the land, ?arming implements and beasts 0!' husbandry, and that they must he kepi up and renovated, as occasion may require, at the expense of the annual produce cf the concern ; but that the seed grain and provisions of different kinds, and the money f?r the laborer.-.' w:iges are consumed and destroyed during the pro gress of the. work ; but that they are not lost if the cultivator, after deducting from the produce tin: rent of the land, the interest of his c.ipiial; and tiie wages of the laborers, contrive to make the an? nual produce replace them'; so as to put him in possession of a value rqual !?? what he started with the preceding year, ft will he pcrcvi'-'.d, from these proposi? tions, that the annual crop must be suf? ficient to defray ilia expenses i.-f keeping up and renovating the capital, including the purchase of live stock, that if. must restore tl'.ose items of capital that aie consumed in its productinn, ami ihn! 't must covir the items of rent, interest auJ laborers' wages. If if does ibis and nothing more, the farmer has lost noth? ing, because the crop produced has put him in possession of a value equal to what he started with If it doc; not do this the capital has been encroached r.n, an l this cannot occur without loss. Cut, i?'after all these allowances are made k i.s sti the; col to yield hi in a clear profit besides, then it is, and then only, that farming u prufi ablcj and to the extent of this profit there has been an :iclual iucretiso and accession of capital. How obvious it is that the farmer should keep his li.'nks of accounts, stating hi-, receipts and expenditures if he would knoss whether his business is profitable or not. Il would, perhaps, induce the practice of that economy so necessary to his prosper i.y. Cut let us make a calculation fri? th-: purpose of ascertaining, as nearly as practicable, whether he is accomplishing tb--e results. We will take the year 1S80; as the census fur thai year fur? nishes most of the items necessary for such calcuiation. No deductions will be made of ths expenses of purchasing working animal-*, or otherwise renovating or keeping up the capital, as no informa? tion on that subject is to be had, nor of chattel mortgages under one hundred dollars given for agricultural advances, as the index to that class of mortgages did not, at that time, furnish us with their respective amounts ts it now docs, so that the r:suk will be larger thairit ought to ! e. It may he remarked, how ev.r in passing, (hat one < f the items of expense in keeping up the capital, was that of building and repairing fences, which at that lime cost the people of the County the Mini cf ?10,020, an expense from which they have been relieved by the wise adoption of what is commonly known as the "no fence law." Tin1 censusoi J ^S'l slates tiial the value of ;?li fiirm products sold, consumed; and on hand for J S'il was ?1,G?ll, 102; so that we have lue value oi the crop of tm.t year, and this, upon the principle stall d, ought to have been sufficient to cover all the items of.-expense in keeping up the capital, and all the allowances fur rent; interest and wages above mentioned, and to leave a clear profit besides. \V? will take tin' interest on the vain*1 ol the land i:s tin equivalent of rent, and one b.iif the c-tiiii/ted value ..I the live stock as representing the horses, mules and working ox-n, iiia-inue.h a* milch cows and other animals :ire iiiclmh d in this es? timate.

V.< Now, if this sum is deducted from tIi?: amount of the crop sold, consumed, and on hand for 1S70, there will be an over plus of .*j!ll,Sr.2.51 subject to reduction by the amount of the items omitted, the amount of taxes, State and County, and the amount of the purchases of merchan? dise. The question then is, did this overplus leave the farmers any cleai profit after paying for the fertilizers and other farm supplies, with interest, and after the allowance for the rent of the land, the interest upon the capital and laborers? wages, ns has been done in the above statement V Certainly not, and for the reason that the liens and agricultural supplies the next year (I SSO) were in? creased to the sum of ?$0,-l"0.i!?!, to say nothirg cd' the chattel mortgages under one hundred dollars, for the same pur? pose, the amounts of which cannot be given, for the reason above staled. The crop of 1879 did not replace those items of capital that were consumed an;: destroyed in its production, and. there? fore, the necessity of giving !ieu3 and chattel mortgages for supplies' to produce the crop of 1 SSO, and which were charged to the crop of that yuar, This deficiency of production may he said to be fairly represented by the lier.s and chattel mortgages given each year for thi! production of the crop of that year. But the farmer may delude him? self with the notion that this is all a mistake, and that after selling so much of his cotton crop as may be necessary to pay for these supplies, that he can sell the balance when the price suits him, and that this will be clear profit. But uuder such a supposition he abandons all claim to compensation for the rent of iiis land and the interest upon his capi? tal. According to the census of 1>S0, the cotton crop of this County was 21,807 bales, which at -S-I-j per bale amounted to $980.365, so that the whole cotton crop was not quite sufficient to pay the rent, iuterest-and laborers' wages as shown in the;foregoing statement. How then can the biilance of the crop, after paying for agricultural supplies, be considered as clear profii? The farmer has a right to expect that the crop will not only cover all these items, but that it will leave him a clear profit besides, and if it does not do this, then he is not accomplishing ivhat i; being done in ail the other branches of industry. He certainly ought not to be willing to accept hss for his industry and capital than is received by others for theirs, and it is insisted that this result may be attained by the production of our own supplies, and by the saving of the large sums ex pended annually in their purchase. it ih;?y be said "hat if the farmers pro dticc their own supplies they must pro? duce less cotton. Granted., Then ti e question is whether this diminished crop i- not worth quite as much a3:oufe en? cumbered with liens and chattel mort gages under one hundred dollars to I ho full extent of the ptirci::'.v mon?y of these supplies. Besides;.'as it tak.s less time ami labor to raise ot:r" o-.vi giain, hay and other provisions than it does tin; amount of cotton necessary to pay .'or them, would it not be an economy of time and labor to produce them our j selves. There is still another reason j why we should produce cur own supplies, and it.is this: that by so doing we would make ourselves independent of the fluctu? ations of prices in the foreign market upon which wo rely. The newspapers sometimes herald the news of the proba? bility of a European war. What is the consequence? A rise in the price of provision-- of all kinds, which the depen? dent cotton planter lias had to pay, and to the extent of this advance in price he has been an actual lo.-er. Again, one of Ihu most alarming features of the times is the varied and extensive combinations of capital, under the name- of trusts, for the purpose of controlling ihe price of the necessaries of life. They have their origin in that inordinate desire for the accumulation of wealth, which is unwill? ing to wait on the slow and legitimate processes of production to accomplish their desired object, All production which looks to the creation of =ome object nccC'ssary to satisfy a human want is a public beuefu; but those who em? bark their capital in enterprises of this kind do not propose to become producers themselves, or to contribute to this kind of production. Their object is to rob other people of the profits of their indus? try by obtaining control ><f the supply; that they may be thereby enabled to advance ihe price for their own benefit, at ihe expense of the consumer; even though ittwoui!ddeprive the poor uf the ordinary necessaries and comforts of life. Such uses of capital arc injurious t< pro? duction and the public welfare. 11 there he no remedy for this growing evil in the power of Congress to regulate Commerce between the Stale-, or in the poweroi the Courts to declare all .-ucli cambinations illegal and a forfeiture of charter, it is not for human wisdom to predict the con.-e qucuccs to which they may lead. The intensity of this ardor for money making, and some of the phenomena attendant on the progress uI social wealth, would seem to bear out the idea of Gold? n Smith that I Key are due to a decline of religious faith. It is .sufficient to remaik. howvver, that the readiness withi which resort is had to every .-che:;'.-, which inge? nuity can devise lor i;.; acquir men . ought to b.' sufficient wanting to on: people that if they would r--rape beii?j: made the victims of ihi- r. ;.:'.r i y they must inaks h.i-:c lo abandon their cohdi j i i - -1 ?? i if di ps wli nee ami commchn; I lie business of production :.t. home.

A". T. BuoYi.ks; (to roXTi.vi r:o.) Who Via-? "Jack Robinson!" Once upon a lime there was a farmer named Robinson, who was much annoy? ed by the ba-1 habit ? certain wolf had of eating his sheen. Tiie farmer reasoned with him, and even offered to pay for having him sent to a private asylum, where they cured such bad habits. Bill tiie wolf said he preferred to remain a slave to the sheep appetite; for he sus? pected that the farmer (who was of a miserly disposition) might refuse to pay the bids after he had become cured ofhis appetite for sheep. Farmer Robinson then trial to over? came him by means of traps, pitfalls, poisoned meat, and other snares ; but the wolf was awary old beast, and Ibra long time the only way John Robinson knew that his enemy was ?.livc was by the death ofhis sheep. You can imag? ine his joy, then, when one morning he came upon the wolf securely caught by the tail, in a trsp. The farmer approach? ed the wolf and upbraided him. 11c then raised bis slick to beat him to death. But the wolf, who had borne nil his reproaches meekly, stopped him by an imperious wave of his paw, and said, 'Triihee let me say ;\ word." The wolf, as the discerning reader doubtless notices, was a wolf of the old school, and used a certain stalely courte? sy even in addressing a far- er about to kill him, But since the narrator's old wolf English is a trillt; rusty, he will translate the remainder of the talk into ibe language u-ed by common Ameri? cans, ' I am," continued the wolf, "caught by the tail, in your trap; but with one backward spring?about as backward sis die spring of 1SSS?I can be free. I'- is true my tail will be in your power, but your sheep will be in mine, and I assure you they shall suffer lor it. Now, though mytaiibe an old one, I am fond of it, and am willing to restrain my love for sheep somewhat if you will kt mc go tailfulhv" Worthy John Robinson was deeply moved by the words of the wolf, and ciritaled long, wondering what hard terms he might propose without bringing on a backward spring. At length he said: ?'I will let you go on condition that you agree henceforth to eat no sheep of mine." "Rut," exclaimed the wolf, "in that c ise I shall starve !" "Not at ah," said the farmer. "You may eat my neighbors' sheep." Now the farmer knew very Well that his neighbors had no she>.p. The wolf als.i knew it. but from earliest infancy ho lud ken renowned f,?r his great acute uess, m> be merely said : "Mow .-hall I be able to tell your .-beep from your neighbor-)*'" '"You Cdii ask them to whom th."-y be long; and ifth?y answer. 'Jack Robin? son,' you Dili;' leave them in peace.'' "Well," said the wolf, "your terms are pretty hard, but 1 will do p.s you s:ty. Whenever I wish lo eat a sheep, I will ask her to whom she belongs, and if she answers,'Jack Robinson,' I will let her go in peace." Thereupon the Tanner frrecl the woli'a tail from tiie trap, and went; home rtj ;c bog. But his joy was of short dursitib/j, for the wolf develop.i-.j a remarkable quickness of eating, and whenever be met it sheep he asked her lo whom she belonged; and then ate her up before she could say, "Jack R->bitis.?u." The PrcsidenCs Scheine? Wash iNeiTON, September 80.?The President is said lo be giving much thought to the problem of securing a Republiciiu victory in lS'J- without de? pending upon the aid of the State ot New York. The friends of ex-Rep? resentative Gcff, who was defeated in the election of a Governor of West Virginia a year ago, are inameuvritig to get him into the Cabinet by representing that he can control the electoral vote of that State for the benefit of the Republi? can party. To make a place for him they want lo advance Attorney General M?ler to the Supreme beuch. Tiie lu'ciibi'j Star has this about it: "The fact that Mr. Miller has s ?ld out iiis estabii-bmeot in Indianapolis has given rke lo the impression that the President has gone back to bis old love, am! that Mr, MMlcr will go on the Su pr me bench.

With others it is. like a lioness robbed of her whelps. I know an aged mother in my own town whos* sari and grandson were enticed away, and, in her desperation; she seized the sword cane of her dead husband and Trent to the barroom of the town and staggered behind the counter and broke up every glass and bottle and mirror, ami when the owner tried to stop her s'.ie drew the sharp dirk from the cane and ran him from thc housa and thru completed her work. The love for her oti'qiring had armed he: with a wild frenzy and a surpor natural strength; and thai is the same feeiiog that every mother ha-, though they do not show it that way.

Is there no remedy for the oppression.? What cur girl- want i-> a wiilor Sehl, more occupations and more independence. When a girl goes to an industrial school she means business, and t ie State's money will not be wa-te-d on her. Wh<'n a boy is sent to college he dois not always mean business. Most generally he means to have a good time, and lie has it. The money spent on r?t?r girls in training them to practical pursuits is well spent. It lias proven so in Missis? sippi. I: tvi'.i be no experiment here; anil Georgia can. with safety, follow the lead of a State that has always honored women with a peculiar chivalry. Georgia i- three limes as rich as Mississippi in taxable property and certainly ought to .-pond as much for her girls. !i' the wo? men had a vote in electing the members of the legislature the bill would have passed unanimously.

Don't wait on the legislature. A northern man writes to know if it will bo safe to remit to Hilt A rp, or has he got another name. Says he read in p. paper that Bill A rp's son had stolen a horse, arid escaped from the sheriff/and that this has made him du? bious about the family, and he wants to know about it. My boys are worried ] about that. Every now and then some devilish felloe, asks them, which one of the boys stole that horse, and that is what I got for stealing another man's name. The chickens will come home to roost. My friend, that horse thief, is no kin to me and I'm sorry ho is kin to anybody. Hut if you will send the money to the undersigned, the soldiers' graves will eet it. There is io be a big circus here next Tuesday and I wish the soldiers' graves had all the money that will be laughed away that day. But the folks must laugh sometimes I reckon, and that children do enjoy a -how so much, and there has not been one here in three or four year ', so wo are going to le* them go and see the animals. Everybody loves to see wild animals. My wife says she wants to go and would like the pleasure nf my com pa;,y. Well, I don't want to go. My circus time is out, and I may be forced to go. I may be inveigled into it. The women and children need protecting on such occasion?. My fir.-t great grief was because my father would riot let me go to a circus; The tent was very near to our house, ;uid there was a grea* high rock not far away, and my mother let me climb upon it, where I could hear the clown and eeo ft little bit between the upper and lower curtail s, and 1 was happy. The (-t ier boy;' w;-re all inside, and I conic y;t exactly understand why it was right, for them and wrong for me. My father came home ami saw me perched up >n that rock and he relented ami let me go in with my Uncle Jake, ami my happiness was com? plete. An? so our school board voted to give a holiday to the pupils of our public schools, and now there are two or three hundred happy children in Cartersville. "Evil be to him who evil thinks.'' Bu.i.

B. A. Hard on Senalor Kamplon. Washington, October 1.?"My posi? tion in regard to the colonization of tie ncgrces," said Senator Hampton, "has been misinterpreted by numbers of people who thick that I am in favor of using force to get them out of the country. In consequence of this misinterpretation, I have recently received scores of letters, most of them anonymous, of an exceed? ingly abusive and denunciatory charac? ter. I never said a word about forcing the negroes away. There is no doubt in my mind, though, that it would be belter for the South, better for the negro and better for ibe whole country if the dar? kies could be put by themselves. Gen. Grant favored something of this kit.d when he advocated the purcha-e of some of the Western islands. For myself .1 would favor it bill giving governmental aid to the removal and settlement of those willing to emigrate. Then the negroes would have an opportunity of seeing what they could do for themselves in the way of self-government. "The South," continued the Sen.it.-ri 'is destined to become great as a manu faeiuring section, but it does not need protection for its infant industries. In course fabrics South Carolina is aiready underselling the cotton mil's of Lowe! i. The reason why the South must become the manufacturing section of the Fuiteel Elates i- (piite evident. Our climate enables us to work twelve ui wths in tin year. Labor is cheaper and tit'1 cotton is grown right on ihe groin o Tiiese in? ducements are bound lo bring capital to us; Then, in regard to iron, if we can produce that at eleven dollars per ton, as is done, we have no need for protection. The South has superior natural advan? tages, and whatev. r proteeiic-u the Gov? ernment levies simply helps to keep up t:\? competition of the .Vorth."
