CH1APTER I. I was raised in Wake County, North Carolina, by a farmer of moderate means. At an carly age I learned from a conversation be tween the farmer and a neighbor thaitI and the land on which I was raised were mortgaged. to a Balti more firm, who had furnished fer tilizers for the soil, and also to a Raleigh merchant w ho had sold sup plies of Western bacon and corn for the support of the field hands, and Northern hay and oats for the mules. The farnier complained that necessity had forced him to pay a very high rate of interest for the ise of the capital invested in the above mentioned fertilizers and farm supplies, and that he had in addition to pay a heavy fee for drawing and recording the mort gage securing the commission mer chants. I noticed that the mules on the farm were poorly fed, and that as they passed the lot gate they ea gerly nipped a few bunches of lux uriant clover which had sprung up from seeds dropped out of the North~ern oats. The farmer said, as the mules passea on "I would sow an acre in clover, but I need a'l my best land for cotton." I have nothing very remarkable to tell you concerning mny youthful days. I..observed that the hands employed in the field were poorly clad. Most of them wore coarse, cheap Northern made clothes, shoes and hats, and from their rude talk I found that they had very little education. The wives and c-hildren of these farm laborers frequently came to the field, and I saw that the women wore Northern calico dresses and 'that the chil dren were growingup in ignorance. After being picked and packed I was taken to Raleigh. The comn mission merchant said to the far mer : "Cotton is flat to-day, but wve expect it will go up soon." The farmer sighed and remarked: "Well." I guess I went into a large new brick store, and accident-; ly heard the merchant say to tihe clerk. "Insure this bale of cotton; and charge Mr. A.' with insurance and storage." I remained shut up for some time, when the farmer came in one day and the merchant kaid to him: "Cotton is no better, but I am compelled to have some nmouey. I will ship your bale to* Baltimore and do'the best I can with it.". A dray soon came up, and as I was hoisted into it, the merchant said: "Have this bale insured and directed to W. & HI., Baltimore. They will pay the freight and in surance.". -.I was hurried over the railroads t~o Iorfolk and thence by. steamer to Baltimore. I was then stored for some time, when I was sold to an agent of a Rhode Island manu facturer. As I passed outl heard the merchant calculating how much was due him as storage and comn mission on my sale. My purchaser was also busy in getting out his in surance on me and arranging to pay freight on me to Rhode Island. Nothing occurred on the route to my destination worthy of re mark. When I arrived at the fac tory, I found several thousand friends raised in North Carolina. I noticed the women and children seemed cheerful, but none of them wore Southern made shoes or South ern made clothes, or ate Southern bacon. The dray horses were well kept, but did not eat Southern hay or oats. The owner of the factory, *they said, was very rich, - and had made his ?ortune manufacturing cot ton cloth for the New York market. I was hurried through the fac-1 tory and came out a bolt of nice, smooth cloth. I was hurried into a bale of cloth for a New York I I then weit to New York to the I nstablisimient of one of the mer )-ant prines,. and was dellerlited to hear him say to a clerk, "Stnd this bale to Messrs. Tucker, Raleigh." As I had passed over the route be rore it was not new to ine and I re,Ll MafelV inl Raleigh in less ta:i wt. lv eanc I was put on the loto:n of a large pile of e'th, :tl ha vin l nothina else to do I entei d into a little calculation. It was as follows: I have changed, hands often. [,'irst the Raleigh merch nt real ind his profit and storage. Then the Insurance agent. Then the Railroads got their freights. Then ti te :auers got their freights. Then the Baltimore merchant got his stozage and commissions. Then the Northern Insurance agent got his per cent. Then the nianufactu rer got his profits. The New York wholesale merchant got his per cent. Then the railroads and steamers got their return freight, and'the insurance man got another per cent. Messrs. Tucker must have a per bent. and Here a clerk reached down and pulled me out with a jerk, and lo and behold! my old master, the man who raised me, said he would take me, "that he wanted some norrard homespuu," and I was bun dled, and am now at my old home in Wake, expecting shortly to be cut up. CHAPTER II. I believe when Mr. Tucker's clerk br<..ke the thread ofi my dis course, I was inakinga calculation. I had told.how the followin-g per sons realized profits on me: 1. The Raleigh Cotton Factor. 2. The Railroads and Steam lines. 3. The Insurance Ageuto. 4 The Baltimore Merchant. 5. The Northern Railroads. 6. The Northern Insurance Companies. 7. The Manufacturer. 2 8. The Wholesale Merchant. 9. The. railroads on return -r 1 . 'a uac men on return risks. 11. The retail dealer. These parties all sh~ow a deep interest in me, ar.d I wish to say I entertain no unkind feelinigs toward any of them.- The profits they realized from me were legitimate and proper. But, I feel very kind ly for the man who raised me, and when I considered that he paid all these accumulated profits, added to the original cost, I did not wonder that he dressed poorly and wa hard pressed to support his family. I have traveled around and listened to calculating men talk, and I in tend to whisper a word to him through the Crescent. What I want to say is: R,aise your own hogs. Dont buy Western bacon at a high price when cotto~n is liable to be at a low price!i Sow an acre or two in clover. It will save corn and enable you to feed your teams L>etter, and will cost you less thau Northera oats and hay. It'will enable you to feed your cows better. and they will give more and better milk. Your calves will grow larger and make finer cattle. Raise -your own corn and wheat. Don't plant all cotton. If your hand is poor, sow peas and improve it. Save all your bairu yard maiuure. compost your vegetable mould, and don't buy worthless fertil izers. And when I get through whisper iu to the farmer, I want to say a word to capitalists. Cotton must be raised in the South. There will :lways be a demand for the manufactured article. We have water powers in abundance. If Northern manufacturers can pay transportaition~ and insurance on the raw iniat'erial, and manufacture it on the frozen streams of New England, and realize haudsomie profits, why caunot the Southern man ufacturer. who can purchase it at his door without freight and insurance charges. compete successfully with the Northern manufacturer ? Our water powers are as good; streams are sel dom frozen; our climate is better; we can work more days in the year; labor can y had as cheap. Besides making large profits on the capital in vested, you will give employment to our poor women and children, and the cost of manufacturing instead of en riching men a thousand miles away, will be spent with our own merchants and tradsmien, and thus iraprove the condition of our own State. I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do notdesire North Carolinians to invest their capital in factories because I enter tain any unkind feeling for Northern people. I have had enough of sectional ism. I was once known as King Cotton, but my crown if not entirely' ruined, is badly damaged by sectional difficul ties. I only mentioned the North because most of our staple is manufac tured there. I wish to see all our peo p1e, North and South, prosper, but I The Deiure Flirt. A magazine writer says: "The de inure flirt is in miaav respeCts the Vx. aet (pposite of the dashinz fP:rt. The latter looks you straiiht and steadily in the face with elear. unfatering 4 eyes; the former has downcast orbs, sOWnetinws lifte.lide:ly witi gr-1%at uffect. and as sudd-.ily the white hids. with their lon- dark L.shes. fall. T , e deaure flirt blushes a ureat dcil. and is quite simple and modest in mantier. She is also of a lahteryzmos tendency, and her eys fill with beCo!Aing tears )n suittble, occai8n. She is affectiou ate and docile to a creditable Uxtreic. and deports herself ou all occasions in model style. She does the 1poor op pressed,' in telliwg manner. and a man is a brute indeed if, after receiving her soft confidenec, he is not inelined to do battle in h ir bhalf against the world, and does not so express him self to the extent of a Louna fide pro posal, -for better, for worse.' It is a most favorable circunstance for the demure flirt if she is-obliged for sone reason to reside with an runt. Thi-s relative is represented under the strict est vows of secrecy, by the dutiful niece, to be such a monster of iniquity and oppression, and her sufSering un der her sad trials of so terrible a na ture, that th' confidant tears his hair and groans aloud that age and sex urevent him fron challenging the in dulgent and worthy old lady and inl flicting upon her .condign chastise nent. While he fairly weeps at the piteous recital, she beseeches hin to calm himself, and say, she must bear with what fortitude she may have the burden laid upon her. Thereupon the afflicted youth coimnces a speech with 'my poor angel, the result is ob vious." PAsT TRoUBLES.-Don't harp on past t ro n bles.

They are gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Conestion or Inflammation of the Liver and'Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. WALK R'S VINEGAR BITTERs are A erient. Dia phoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxa tive, Diuretic, Sedative. Counter-Irritant, Sudorific. Alfter-ive, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim VINEGAR BITTERs the most wonder ful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bit ters according to directions, and re main long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital or gans wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent, and In termittent Fevers, which are so nrevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo rado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, through out our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarka bly so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably ac companied by extensive derange ments of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these vari ous organs. is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DRi. J. WA~LKER'S YINEGAIR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with whiclh the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy func tions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against dis ease by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR B3ITTERrs. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Pamn in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach,'Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tion of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bot tle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Serofala, or' King's Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Infnmmations, Mercurial affec tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, WALKERa'S VIx EGA RBITTEaIs have shown their great cur ative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronie Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermiittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Dis eases are caused by Vitiate'd Bl'ood. IMechanical Diseases.-ersons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and Miners, as they advance in life, are sub ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKERS Y fNEGAR BITTERS occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, etter, Salt-Rheumi,Blotches, Spots, Pim pes, Pustiiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipe las, Itch, Seurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, urking in the system of so many thou ands, are effectually destroyed and re oed. No system of medicine, no ver nifuges, no anthelminitics will free the ystem from worms like these Bitters. or Femnale Complaints, in young r old, married or single, at the dawn of omanhood, or the turn of life, these Ton c Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood henever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, r Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell ou when. Keep the blood pure, and the ealth of the system will folow. R. H. neIDONALD & CO., Drggists & Gen. A gts., San Francisco. Califor a, & cor. of Washington and Charlton Sts..N.Y.
