The Newspaper.?Ii is a great mistake
in female education to keep the
young ladies time and attention devoted
to fashionable ami polite literature of the i
day. If you would qualify her for con- ,
versation, you must give her something
to talk about?give her an acquaintance
with this actual world and its transpiring
events. Urge her to read the newspapers,
and be familiar with the present
chrracter and movement of our race.
History is of some importance, but the :
past world is dead, and we have nothing
to do with it. Our thoughts and
our concern should be for the world, to
t
hiiuw wnai u is, ana 10 improve its condition.
Let her have an intelligent <
opinion, and be able to sustain intelli- |
gent conversation concerning the men- ,
tal, moral, political and religious move- ,
menis of our times. Let the gilded an
nuals and poems on the centre table be
kept covered with the weekly and daily
journals. Or, if they are left in the book j
siore, ana the table is well supplied with
newspapers, her mental and moral cha- 1
racter and her common sense will not '
suffer on account of their absence. Let i
the whole family?men, women and
children?read the newspapers. And
if any body has a fact or a thought worth ,
communicating, let him not try to make
a big sleepy book, but speak to the
world through the newspapers. Tins
is the way to make an intelligent, republican,
and virtuous population.

A Relic of the "Pirate of the
Gulf.?We are informed by a friend of
ours, who has just returned from a pleasure
excursion to Coillou, and adjacent
Islands on our sea coast, that one of his
men whilst engaged in hunting on the
above named island, perceived at a dis

ground, and after approaching and removing
the sand, it proved to be a quar- I
ter cask which from being imbedded in
the earth, was rather difficult to move. <
The finder's imagination was at once |
raised to the highest pitch?he fancied '
that it was filled with gold, and had been j
buried there by Lafiitte, and his piratical j
crew ; he was so overjoyed jhat he ex- ,
claimed, " it is better to be born lucky j
than a milion aire, and the very grains
oi sana seemed to be changed into parti- '
cles of gold. He rushed to the camp, '
and informed his companions of his good (
fortune, who in company with him re- 5
turned to the spot, and alter examining 1
the cask, found it to contain a prime ar- !
ticle of " Old Madeira," and although .
disappointed in their real hopes, yet by ^
the refined influence of the wine on their ,
imaginations, thoy very soon come to the
conclusion, that they were as rich as

Shortness of tiik Cotton Ckop.? j
In the Madison Journal of the 20th ult., j,
a paper publish*-'! at liicliinond, in iliis j I
State, we find a paragraph somewhat (
more definite in relation to the cotton j
crop than such articles generally are. ; (
The Journal say :?'* The crop of cotton i '
in this parish being all open and a eon- j ,
siderable portion picked, we can form 1 (
someestimateof the comparative amount (
which will be sent to market. In this ;

quite as good, if not better, than in any
other portions of the parish."
The paragraph then gives the estimated
amount of some six plantations, as
furnished the editor, by which it appears
that on one plantation where 500 bales
were made last year, not 250 will be
made this year. On another plantation
it will be 60 against 115; on another
70 against 125 ; on another 50 against
iOO; on another 150 against over 400:
on another, making the sixth, the deficiency
will be about 60 bales?last ,
year's yield not stated. t
These plantations ..are all under the
management of intelligent men, long
engaged in planting.?N. O. Picayune.
