A New Pledge. One fetture of the te-mperanec revi val is iost et-)'umendab!e. In certhih places a pledge is n1ow cireulattinL Am11ongSOung men by which the sipner: hind tieniselves to refrain froi ask in ather men to drink. There is nthi:ii that is more absurd, in itsli considerd. than. the theory that a man1 is under obligations to pay for the drinks consumed by his friends. No man .thinks of asking a friend out to take a social pair of bouts or a frieIdl-y barrel of flour, and yet he is regZaded as eominitting a breach of etiquette if he ventures to drink with out asking a friend to drink with him. No i'an would feel otherwise than in F-ulted if an acquaintance asked him to accet a friendly fifteen cent stamp, and yet he feels himself insulted if he is nit asked to drink tifteen cents' worth of ardent spirits. The exceed inlr follv of the custom is equaled onilv by the evil influence which it exerts. Many a man is forced to drink by one of a group of acquaintances when he is not in the least thirsty, and he is thus in turn compelled to invite them to drink a second ti'.ne with hin to the detriment not only of his purse but of his health. It is not too much to say thal at least one-half of the ar dent spirit- consumed in New York City is drunk by men who do not want it, but who are compelled by a stupid and senseless custom both to drink whin invited to do so and to in vite others to drink with them who had much rather not do anything of the kind. The pledge against "treatling" ought to produce good results. It commends itself to all sensible men, and the fact of having signed it gives theni a suffi cient excuse for ceasing to observe a preposterous custom. The new pledge ought to be vigorously circulated. and the more signers that can be obtained for it the more hope there will be of putting an end to the folly of social tippling. Interviewing a Chinaman. We asked him if he didn't want some advertising done. He stopped work long enough to say that he charged a dollar a dozen, without ironing. We explained. that it wasn't washing we wanted, but advertising. We told him how much his business would be inUreased, how he'd be richer than the king of the sandwich islands in six wonths if he'd only advertise. This seemed to be clear to him, and his face brightened up as he said "Business belly slow; nobody got no money." We calmly took out a paper t that. We c-arefully explained to him all about fifteen cents a line--one f these things clear aeross here ev ry time the paper was printed. The people, we told him, would read this and thea come to him for washing. He took a deep interer, in the whole tory, and paid marked attention to ur few remarks.

If the youth wished to nake a request of their parents it would be in the po tential inood, may. or might 1 do, have or go, as the case might he, referring to the will of another, with the little word "please" at the end. Thirty years ago, 11he youth were taught how to work; uot many. however, learned to love it. They were taken to church every Sun day, not to be talking during Divine ervice. disturbing the minist3r and those that wisheid to learn. They were in the Sunday Scljool and never got too large nor too well informed to quit it. [lowever, there were but few good lit ALe bovs and. girls, for the good boys ind girls died very young. I noticed, in my school boy days, that whenever the teacher wold s:iy that this or that ne was a good little fellow, he would )e sure to die. I had read in the Bible .hat "there w :IS none good; no, not one." 1lhese things made me afraid of being :alled a good little boy. I way fortu iate enough in that respect to never be 2alled a good little boy; but once my rather came very near it, he called me 1 good-for-nothing little fellow. I :hought it was so, as life was a man of .indoubted veracity; but soon I found :hat lie had prevaricated a little, for ;wo days afterwards experience taught me that I was good for something; yes, [ got it, and it was something boys do iot get these days. Many of those ood, old. strict parents have passed iway and left their sons and daughters, who thought that they were too strictly raised, to till their pliaces: and some are here yet observing how their places will be filled when they are gone, We will see in our next. yours, &C., OBSERVER.

To T m FAMlEIS. -Year.after year, is we have seen nearly the entire pro :eedls of the cotton crop are paid to the unufacturers of the North and the irers of the West, for supplies wherewith to carry on tihe faurmu. We ave counseled and advised thait (aur rmers try to lhe more independent > an effort to produce alt home, hay. ~orn, wheat and por-k which is abso utely requisite to mzanaige the planta ation ; we believe their crops should s divided. if a farmer puts his vhole crop in3 cotton, as many have loue, and the price drops to ten cents >:r pound. lie cannot realize sufficient : meet the actual exp~enses of g.rowing he same imore especially when the Irice of pork and grain is at a high gure. If the farmer would divide s crop so -:s to grow all the grain re ~uied for home consumption, he voti be much inore sure of realizing handsome profit upon the business >f the year. In additio:i to a division >f erops, our f'arwuers should see to it bt work shops of various kiads are stblishied within our own towns and ities for the inanufacture of cloth, ouse-keeping articles, farming uten lis, &c., &c.

Seeiig is Believing. If in this liberal age there are persons to be found who are so blinded by prejudice as not to believe that a medicated stimulant is an i:em of immense importance in the cata logue of humnan remedies. we should like them lo wimness the wonderful effects which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are now produc ing all over the country in cases of intermit tent fever, rheumatism, billieus disonlers, dyspepsia, nervous complaints, constitution al debility, mental depression and premature decay. To be sure these effects are nothing new. The great vegetable invigorant and its cures have been before the people for more than twenty-five years. and in every year of the twenty-tive its popularity has increased Iand its sales blar'e become larger. Yet there are no doubt many :housad% of intelligent citizens who have never had art opportunity of observing for thetmselves the surprising changes which this unequaled tonic and al t ertive prodnees in systems wvhich seem to be hopelessly broken, ani in cases of disease which are to' amenable to ordinary reme dies. I'iob.:bly many of these regard the staitemenlt, made in relation to the sanitary properties of the Bitters with some degree of incre:ltu!ity'. Would that all such skeptics could see with their own eyes what the medicinme is doing for the sick and feeble every where, what a staff of lire it is proving to the aged and inifirmn, what a help in time of trouble to feeble women suffering from the comiplaints and dikabiiities peculiar to the sex, what a protection to health and life m i mahatiot;s districts, wvhat a panticea for all laniguor or depression, what a specific for nal disea.ses in which the system requ.ires to be vitulized and su"tained. Of aill stimulants it is the pnrett an'I safest, of all tonics the most genial, effective and agreeable, of a-l lteratives the leaist violent an~d the most cer tain in its beneficial results.
