VHAT DOES IT COST TO GROW COTTON ? This i a question of vast importance to t..e United Swie. Wlo can answer it ? Not one in ten of those that make it :heir staple crop. I venture to say; for cotton planters are as creless in this respect as ihough they were condncting a business of cents and dimes instead of dollars and i ihereorr propose to givo you ap ex ruat from my notes, which I have been taking idurin;: mrty extensive agricultural tour the iat v.inter and spring. not only to show the character of the inforrtnmtion ta1t I have been gathering. hut in the hope that it may induce oithers to come out und give more and and better inlo-nation, or point out any erroars in my statements.

The cost, exclusive or freight nn-l com mnikoin, aid inc(ltding interest. of making I 8.000 pounds upon the 'cant brake hads of Alalmala," last year, was $6.67G. no, a fraction over five cents and two mills a This is considered the richest cation lad inl the wr!d; and. altholugh the crop was called a small one, it %as probably about an inerage ote. The field htaindl upon this place num bered seventy-five, couniing -all over twelve years old, which give a finction less than four and one-third hales to each. Now this crop las to he hauled over about twenty-five miles of tlia worst road it the world, when iver, as they usually are at the time the crop is readj to go to market. and then down the dillicult and dangerous navigation of the Totubighee nver.

Now, it must ho borne in mind that this is nne of the best plantaiions, as well in soil as management, and that this was an extraordinary good crop. It must also be assomed that the land wvill. cotiine Io maintain its fertility and value, and that the sate hands will keep the buildings in repair, as no allowance is made in the ex pense account for such repairs, or there will be a loss under that head.

A shy or awvkward demeanor towards strangels in such position is the certain nark of one not faniliar with the gieat world. If you are presented to a lady at an evening party you should call upon her soon aler. At an evening varty never put a tea cup, wine glasq, glass of water, or cup of lenmonade back upon thea same waiter from which you took it. That waiter will be handed to others, and it will be disa oreefable to them to survey an arr.y of half empty cups and glasses, and perlip's inconvenient to distinguish which 'are fiesh and which have been used. * Anot h er waiter, in every respectable house, follows the first one, for the purpose of re ceiving the cups and glasses with which persons have done, ;nd upon it alone should they be placed. When the servants are engaged in handing tea or-doing twher special service, you should not withdraw any of them fi-ot that duty by sending them from the r 1oom ror any thinigs else-as for a glass of waier, a piece of ice. This is particu larly important at a small party. where there are fetw servants; and where therd absence will be more inconvenient. II, in wualking, you mreet a feiend, ac compatuied by utie whoni you do not know, speak to hothi. Also, if yoti are walking with a friend who speaks to a friend, whom you are not acquainted withi, y'ou shuouldl speaek to the person; and with asnimuch respect and ease as ii you knew tepry fyume 1bma whom yo Ihv ,etegetly bfrwokniows your n ame, and wh~ose name you know, it is polite to salute At dinner, thtere should not be much conversation during the first course, ulhile ihv meats are receiving at tetntiot. At least, during that sea;son the renmatk which are ade should he brief and quiet, and not upon earnest or exciting topicks. Long stories should be avoided, lior the li.,teners have other organs thian the ear, which they are wishing to ex ercise at that time. At a hater part of the entertainment, discourse is ugseea ble. If you are at a small party where tea bs made in the room, you should not en ter into conversation with the lady who presides at the table, and y'ou should not draw your chair close to her. She has need of all her attention in arranging and prepairing the tea-waiters, and she~ also r equires room fur: her ai ms. When you take colfee, ten or s.oupi at table, you should miake no noise in sup ping, nor other .unnatural snmacktings of the mouth, for this is decidedly vulgar.

AN ANECDOTE. 1t was during the panic of 1826, that a gentleman, 'Whon we shall call Mr. Thompson, was seated iith something of a inlancholy look, in his dreary back room, watching. his clerks paying away thousands of pounds hourly. -Thompson I was'a bank-r' of excellent cred-it ; there existed perhaps in the city of London, no safer concern than :hat of Messrs. Thoapion & Co.; but at a moment such a I speak of, no rational reflection was admitted, no formter stability was looked to ; a general distrust was felt, and every one rubhed tn his banker's to 1 withdraw his hoard, fearful, that tFy I next instant would be too late, forget in- entirely that this step wias that of all others most likely to insure Cie ruin he soughlt to avoid. But to iturn. The wealthy citizen sat gloonily watching the outpouring ofIis gold, and with a grim smile listening to the clamerous demands on his cashier, for although he felt perfectly easy and secure as to the ultimata strength of' his resources; yet he could nut repress a feeling of bitterness as he saw constit uent after constituent rush in, and those whom le fondly imagined to be his dearest friends eagerly assisting in the run upon his- strong box. Presently tha door opened, and a stranger was ushered in, who after gazs t ing for a moment at the bewildered u banker, cooly drew a chair, and abrupt. ly addressed him. 'You will pardon me, sir for asking a strange question ; but I an a plain man, and like to coma straight to the point.' 'Well, sir P impatiently interupted, i the other, 'I have heard that you have s a run on .our bank, si.' -well ' 'Is it true ?' 'Really, sir, I must decline answering to-your. very. extraordinary query. If, ho ver youm have any, motoiy in.the . brkw jolu I ad_ better. at once airasif rraitdati~fy' vouieffroCreasier wti instrintly pay you ; and the banker rose, t as a hint for the stranget to withdraw.' 0 'Far from it sir ; I have not ore six- A pence in your hands.' 'Then may I ask wlat is your busi- y ness here I' 'I wished to know if a small sum wonld aid you at this moment.' '4Vhj do you ask the qunestion ' 'liecause if it would, I should gladly pay in a small deposit.' The money dealer stared. 'You seem surprised ; you don't know my peltson or my niotive. I'll at once explain. Do you recollect some 20 years ago when you resided in Essex' 'Perhactly.' 'Well, then, sir, perhaps you have not forgotton the turnpike gate through which you passed daily ? My fither kept the gate, and was often honored b a few minutes chat with you. One Chrisinias morning my father was sick, and I attended the toll-bar. On that day you passed through and I opened the gato fur yon. Do you recollect.it, sir. 'Not I, my friend.' 'No sir; few such mien remember their kind deeds, but those who are benefited by them s-ldoma forget them. I am perha2s prolix; listn however only a fewv moments, and I have done." The banker, wvho began .to feel inter ested, at once assented. 'WVell, sir, as I said before, I threw epen the gate for you, and as I considered ,myself in dluty bound, f wislied you a hiappy Christmas. 'Thank you my lad,' reptlied you-thank you; and thie sanme to you; 'here is a trifle to matke it so ; and you threw me a seven shilling piece. It wvas the first money I eve'r possessed; and never shall I forget my joy on re ceiving it, or your kind smile, in bestow ing it. 1 hong treasured it, and as I grew up, added a little to it, till I was able to rent a toll myself. You left that part of the country, and I lost sighit of you. Yearly, .however, I have been getling on; your present brought good fortune wvithi it; I am now comrparativo-. hy rich, and to youi I consider I owe 'all. So thcis -morning hearing accidenatally that there- was a run on your bank, I coliected all my capital, un4 hive brought it to lodge with you, in case it can be of anay use; rheto - a iTs. sir-here lit is;' and he handed a. bundle of bank notes, to the agita'.ed Thompson.. -In a fewv days l'il call again;' and snatching .up his ia.t, the stranger thraing down his card, walked out of the rooma.
