/ The Press and Banner Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1886. When I Remember Thee. I weep when I remember thee, My mother fond and true, When fancy brings thy gentle face Once more before my view. I weep when I remember thee, So patient and so mild So gentle with the stubborn will Of thy wayward child. Oli! many a look of petitionee That knit my youthful brow, Many a thought, unheeded, then, Comes back upon me now; Comes back, aitho' long years have past, Long busy anxious years, Since we upon thee looked our last, And wept our parting tears. Oh, mother, when I think on tliec And thy sweet quiet brow, I know I must have loved thee then, But I feel I worship now. I weep when I remember thee, Upon thy dying bed, When death, with slow but steady aim, Advanced with noisless tread, We saw thy fix'd unconscious gaze, We felt ourselves unknown. Near thee, and yet how far removed; With thee, yet so alone. Oh! mother dear,'twould be a sin, To wish thee back to me; Yet oft i think how should I feel, If such a thing: could be. Oh ! it would seem so dear a boon, A bliss so near divine: Naught but a life's idolatry Could show a love like mine. OUR EXTRAVAGANCE. WE BUY TOO MUCH? WE MAKE TOO LITTLE. Home Wholesome Snjrjffe.stions, Which if Acted on Would add Greatly to Our Prosperity. Associate Reformed Presbyterian. For some months past the ?rent scarcity of money and the difficulty of meeting pecuniary obligations together with the serious inconveniences consequent upon these thinks, has been the talk of the street, th? burden of the newsDHoer and the favorite topic of the poli ticai economist. Low prices for the cliicf products uf the soil, reduced wages, small purchases, precipita'i assignments and commercial failures?these are the order of the day. And all this in face of general crops of unparalleled abundance. In one place corn is tieing burned for fuel, iu another, families are suffering for lack of the very necessaries of life. And may we not well a*k ourselves the causeof these hard times? Thev areattribut-ed-by some to over-prduction, by others to iniJter-eonjann.ption. A high tariff is the scape goat in the estimation of one political party, while another contends that a destruction of the free trade sent iment and tendency of the country would bring speedy and permanent relief. Hut it is not the province of the religions newspaper to discuss the purely political and economical aspects of the case,?except so far 31s they may be connected with and productive of a moral cause. With some the cause is purely a local one. In many portions of the .South farmers and others are in volved in financial straits because of a failure to realize fully their expectations in the various persuits and callings of life. The farmer complains that his fields li.tve not. brought forth as abundantly as he expected, or in other words that he realized only eight bales of cotton where he planted j'or twelve, and gathered but ten busheis of grain when he confidently expected twenty. The merchant alleges that his sales have been much le.-s. his returns slower and his collections smaller than he expected. Hut the simple truth with both tanner and merchant is that they have both projected their plans upon an assumed or fictitious basis and have naturally fallen short, of their calculations. The farmer planted in the spring ior such a yield, making a somewhat extravagant es'imate considering the fertility of his lands and his skill in tanning, at the same time failing to make any allowance whatever for losses that might arise Irom unfavorable seasons and other unseen occurences. And upon this calculation, made in all probability before a seed was planted or a furrow turned, 1 ho farmer nroeeeded to lav in his sunnlies and regulate Jbis manner and stylo of living for tbe year. And as he hits already made a somewhatextravagant estimate of what his income shall be, it is not surprising that he Is even more extravagant in his expeditures. He buys extravagantly. drossesextrnvugantl//and lives extravagantly, all because he expects a mast extravagant yield of cotton and corn. But "when the harvesting period arrives and bills fill I due, the farmer's face wears a more melancholy cast, and his jubilant songs and boasting tulle about "a bale to the acre" and ''(wo hundred bushels of corn to the plow" give place to the pitiful wail of "hard times." His yield lias fallen at least one-third short of ills calculation and by the last day of the year he is just four months behind iu meeting his obligations. Uut instead of learning -wisdom, the process is kept up year alter year until the merchant, to save himself, is compelled to foreclose his mortgages and sell him cut. Doth farmer and merchant are to ' blame, the one for buying aud the other for celling so much. Theshary competitions of trade have fostered the miserable crtxlU. system so univeral at the present time; and it is this credit system that has in turn fostered the extravagant system ot living aud general outlay which Is bringing so many mio u<>pe;e.ss uamtrupicy. The oniy effectual remedy is to abolish as far as possible the credit system and adopt the goixl old plan of buying no more than you can pay for, and pay for at the time you make the purchase. "The borrower" has always been and ever will by "servant to the lender." THEN AND NOW. # The Prices of Long A;ro, and the I Prices of To-Day. In 1807 f?orn sold for 60 cents a bushel, cotton 3 to 4 cents a pound, sugar 30 cents, coffee 50 j cents, shot 20 cents, powder Si, tea $1, pepper <52 cents, nails 25 cents, calico and plaids 75 <-euts per yard, tumblers SI,25 per Sf't. ladies' shoes $2 per pair, salt $,50 a bushel, brady S2 *\ gallon, and twist tobacco 50 cents a pound. People were less in deht then than now. But then people bought necessaries and did without such ioxuriesas tbev could not afford: now they buy luxuries and trp to do without the-necessarles. love for Xcwspnpcrs. , The strong attachment of subscribers to a .well-conducted newspaper is fully confirmed by all publishers, so Ions as a paper pursues a just, honorable and judicious course, meeting the wants of its customers in all respect*, the tie* of friendship between the suh, seribersand the papers areas hard to break by an outside third party as the link which binds old friends in business or social life. Occasional defects and errors in a newspaper are overlooked by those who have become attached to it through its perusal for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columns, and may stop taking it ; but ihe absence of the familiar sheet at their homes and offices for a few weeks becomes an insupportable privation, and they hasten to j lake it again and possibly apologize lor havdngstopped it. No friendship on enrth^is more ] constant than that contracted by the* reader! for a Journal which makes an honest and j earnest eftort to merit its continued support! Hence, a conscientiously c. inducted paper be i *-comes a favorite in tne family. Elements of Nncccm. Young men cannot be told too often that j while a college education is desirable it is ; not necessary to successln life. Some of the greatest men the world has ever produced? j the greatest in all departments, in statesman- ] ship, In literature, in science and'in war?I were denied the advantages that, .result from i a collegiate course. Some of ihcni, indeed, were denied all educational advantages, i There is this to be said: The young man I whom a college education would help to sue-; cess would succeed without it. The elements of succcss are in the man himself, and are no part- of any educational course. In eollegeor out of it the young man lnl&st educate himself. His future depends sorely on his own efforts, and the resources he must- draw upon are to be found only in his own eharae- : ter. He is the architect of his own career, no matter what his advantages or disadvantages. Garden work should now b:>gln in earnest. As soon ?s the ground is dry enough plant peas, let tuce, spinach, early cabbage, mustard, onion sets, and all early hardy veseiables. J)o not neglect the garden. Seven-eight lis of people are fond of nice, savory vegetables. .They supply an actum want in the spring of; the year ami keep the system in crond healthy i condition. Of course a man may live on fried j bacon and bresid the year round, but sueli liv-1 Jng is very poor. There has been quite a change in the Valen-i tine sentiment. A few years ago, the comic j ones, hideous in their uzliness and often ma-j licious in meaning, were quite the fashion.' Now no person of correct taste will use such. I Tiic handsome cards with chaste sentiments and sometimes wiih humorous touches, have | taken the place of these others, and now it. is a, pleas ire to send and receive Valentines. The newspapers came in for another round | ?f abuse at th* hands of the counsel for thej . defense in tlieFerguson case at Abbeville last j week. The lawyers seem to enjoy that sort of thing, and. as it doesn't hurt the newspapers, t' e iawycr< can amuse themselves as much lis they like.?Anderson Journal. j Just received another case of millinery.
