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.

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."

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

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
