When he dies in the ditch, as he is most likely lo die, they j breath a nigh over the swill they drink and say, "alter all, he was a Good Fellow." The feature of the Good Fellow's case, which makes it well nigh hopeless, is, that he thinks he is a (Jood Fellow, lie thinks that his pliable disposition, his readiness to do other flood Tel lows a service, and his J?> 11 y ways, atone lor all his laults. His love of praise is led by bis companions, and thus his sell complacency is nursed. Quito unaware that his good fellowship is tlie result of his weakness; quite unaware that his sacrifice of honor, and the honor and peace of his family, for the sake of outside praise is the offspring of the most heartless selfishness; quite unaware that his disregard ol the interests and feelings of those who are bound to him by the closest ties of blood, is the demonstration ol his utterly unprinci- | pled character; he carries an unruf- i tied, or a jovial front, while hearts ] bleed or break around liiin.

The cracking of a picture placed in the sunshine set Van Kvck experimenting t<> produce a varnish that would dry 111 the shade, tie. found what he sought, and found beside that by mixing it wit!i his colors they acquired greater force and brilliancy, and required no subsequent varnishing; ami so came about the discovery, or rediscovery, ot the art of painting in oil. Mezzotint o owed its invention by Prince Kupert. to the simple incident, of u sonny's gun-barrel being rusted by the dew. Henry Sclent ward, a N uremhorg glass-cut t or, happened to let some aqua-fortis (all upon his spectacles, and noticed the glass was cort'/Xilitil n ml col I onoil \t l.iO'o t !tn t.iiia. fortis had u.uche.l it. Taking (lie hint, no made some liquid accordingly, drew some figures upon a piece ol glass, covered them with varnish, and a|>|i!i<> 1 his cornming fluid, cut awav j the class around his diawing, so that j when he removed the varnish the figures appeared mised upon a dark I ground; and etching upon glass was added to the ornamental arts. Alois ^enelclder, plavrighl and actor, thinkink it possible to etch upon stone in lieu ol copper, polished a slab for the purpose. lie was distill bed bv his mother coming into his small laboratory with tho voqnusl that he would jot down her list of things for the wash, as the woman was waiting to take the basket away. There being ; neither paper nor ink handy, Senefelder scribbled the items on his stone with his etching preparation, that he might copy them at his leisure. Some time afterward, when about to clean the stone, he thought he might as well ; see what would be the effect of biting j the stone with aqua-lbrtis, and in a few minutes saw the writing standing out in relief. Taking tip a pelt-ball j charged with printing ink, he inked the stone, took ofl* a few impressions upon paper, and lie hud invented lithography. The pelt-hall used I?y SeneIelder was long indispensiblo in a printing olliee. A Salopian printer, ! in a hurry to get on with a job, could not find his ball, and inked the l'orin with a piece of soft glue that had fallen out of the glue-pot, with such excellent results that he thenceforth discarded the pelt-ball altogether, and by adding treacle to the glue, to keep it from hardening, hit upon the composition of which printers' rollers have over since hocn made. Three very different discoveries are 1 recorded to have resulted from the unintentional application ol intense Ileal, l'liny attributes the discovery >1 glass to some merchants traveling with nitre, who stopping on the bank j Dt a river to take a meal, were at a loss lor stones to rest their kettles upon, j Putting them upon pieces of nitre, they cindled their fires; the nitre dissolved jy the heat, mixed with the Band, and , he merchants were astonished to sec J i transparent matter flowing over the \ ground, which was nothing else but ^lass. Charles Goodyear had for (rears experimented in vain, hoping to leprive indiarubber of its siisoeptibil* to the action of heat and cold. Con.

Is it that our labor has been unreliable and expensive?

No people can ever he prosperous who are not sell-sustaining. Our tortile soil, exliau tlc.-.s mineral wealth, abumlaut water power and genial, salubrious climate avail us nothing ill annually we expend millions lor subsistence. It is generally conceded that home-grown bread is cheapen than purchased supplies, and tin; observation ol every planter is that t hose Southern farmers who live within themselves are more independent and less incumbered with debt than those j who have relied solely upon the cotton crop. Were it otherwise, it is hazardous for any people to rely upon others for a supply of those articles which are necessary for l heir daily consumption. The horrors of'famine which have more than once cursed the people of India, in tlieir ellbi I . to grow cotton to the exclusion ol bread* stall's would have been repeated in our midst but that we were able to supply our necessities from the teeming loud iries of the Northwest, Wo shrink from the contemplation of what would > he our condition should disaster d. prive us of that resource. During the past year certain portions of Iowa, Minnesota and JJakoto have been invaded by the grasshopper, which has swept their fields like a fire and destroyed every vestige oi vegetation. Imagine your condition should a similar invasion become genera! in tie North West. Couple with this idea, the total failure ol a cotton crop, either from the worm, from drought, 01 any other unavoidable cause. Improbable as such visitations may appear, we have not the power to prevent them, and is it wise to subject ourselves to the possibility of becoming the vie lima oihuich calamities? Depend upon it, our wisest and safest policy is, an Car an practicable, to prod ma; jit borne our necessary supplies. is there a farm in the fcinuih upon wha n ibis cannot be done, ami at the name time produce the average cotton crop as the net result oi the farmer's annual labor? We believe there is not, and you have only to practice this policy for the year 18*74, and harvest tune will proclaim redemption to the South and a return to wonted prosperity. As our constitution expresses it, the | prosperity oi a nation is in proportion to the value of its productions. Then how magnificently prosperous should l>c the cotton -States of this i'nion?

Two fads illustrating these points have just coinj under our observation. ; l\?r several months past the now Tumi;>?ii'building has given cmplovinent to a large niunbor ol skilled ami unskilled laborers. To the lattor, it h is been paying as wages two dollars a day, about as much as two-thirds of tin! school-teachers and clergymen of the country receive. A lew days ago they demanded an increase ol' lilly cents per day. This was more than was paid on other buildings 111 process of construction in the city, and we declined to yield to it, offering the strikers an increase ol twenty five cents, which they refused. They thereupon left work, and appear L<? In; in such comfortable circumstances that they have passed their time since then, lounging in Printing House Square ami the Pity Hall J'ark, m fresh paper collars and new-dyed mustashes, taking an i?s111ctio pleasure in contemplating the handsome lacade of the new leiildmg, so far as it goes, and diverting themselves by throwing tin occasion brick nt the do/en men who want to I tike their places, and support their own families l>y doing the work nt the n asonable i wager, these idlers have refused. The other fact wc have referred to is equally significant. A lawyer advertised the other day for a clerk, requesting applicants to stale age, acquirements, and qualilicatioiKj. lie received in one day over one hundred replies to his adverrisoinent, from men of 20 to JiO )ears of age, all of whom wrote fair hands, some excellent; all were acquainted with the routine business of a law-oflice; some were attorneys already admitted to practice, graduates of colleges and universities, and in several instances the applicants were also accomplished stciio grauhors.
