Some? times he was in a very pleasant and geni? al hnmor, and sometimes extremely touehv; sometimes in a mood to pore over his old musty law books, sometimes en;r*agcd with his pen, and occasionally, not very often, indeed, disposed for a lit? tle conversation with "us three," as wo prepared our school tasks around the li? brary table. Now and then he would . . lend a helping suggestion in regard to some puzzling example in arithmetic, or an explanatory remark on some Latin *' construction, or French idiom; but he did not liold, he said, to getting lessons for 'scholars, nor to the modern custom of havinc everything so simplified for them that no mental effort was necessary; so we generally had to solvo our difficulties as we could by continuous and patient application. One morning the poor man was more restless and fretful than usual, ile had had a bad night, and kept mother awako so much that she had gone to her room to get an hour's hap while we studied our - lessons and waited upon father. But he V" could hardly be patient with us while we Sid it, lest "our skirts should switog against his muffled feet. ? "Be careful, girls, be careful," be cried, deprecatingly, and flourishing his hands all about him. "It's sore all round I" "We laughed at the idea, but understood - his precautionary advice, and tucked our drapery into the very smallest possiblo compass whenever we went near to hand him anything. "Poor papa," said Rebecca, as she slipped behind his easy chair whero there was no danger of hurting him, and tried ? to soothe him by stroking his hair and stealthily pressing her rich led !iips to the .'.- shiny bald' spot on the top of his head. This medicine seldom failed of a happy .4 effect. "Thank you, dear, thank yon," he said , , tonderly, "Now get your comb and ~ comb me to sleep for a few minutes, if you are not too busy with your books. That comb has a magnetic effect upon me, ybu know." Rebecca was never too busy to do his ' bidding; and by a few passes of her soft fingers and the favorite comb through his thin locks, now changing to an iron gray, she 'soon had him, if not asleep, yet ?pombed' into, a quiet humor. By this time Maria Jane and I woro yawning over our lessons. "How stupid this grammar is," ? said Maria Jane. "Nothing but mode and tense, for twenty pages here. I don't seo see much in mode and tenso; I wish there wasn't any." . "Mode and tense !?' spoke up father, suddenly. "Don't seo anything in mode and tense ? Ah, I'm afraid you are a very dull girl. Mode and tense ? Why, : there's everything in mode and tenso I" - Maria Jane blushed like a peony, not - having tho loast idea that he noticed what she said ; and when he broke out so **: abruptly, and yet so earnestly/she was all ready to recant everything, and to as? sent to any proposition he might make; * especially that she -was a very dull girl, "; and that grammar was an immeasurably interesting and enlivening study, particu? larly its mode and tonso! And she was preparing to submit to a critical catechi? sing on verbs in general, with all their - belongings j while tho apprehension of divers blunders flashed out from herblack eyos, when father began again. "Tos, girls," ho said, addressing us collectively, to the great relief of poor Maria Jane, "there's a great deal in mode - and tense; much deop philosophy, many profitable and practical suggestions. Do ? you see how that can be ?" We were obliged to say wo did not un? derstand. "Well. I suppose not," said father. "But what is meant by mode and tenso ?" * All of us began at once, "Mode is the particular form of the verb in which?" "Pshaw!" interrupted' father, "I don't want any of your grammar book defini? tions. It's the gcnoral idea I am aft*.:*." "Wo wcro posed and silenced; for if there were any other idea, particular or general, than the grammar book sot forth, wo were guitless of its acquisition. . "Mannor and time?manner and timo, girls," cried he, impatiently; "that is the meaning of mode and tenso, in plain Eng? lish. Why, what in tho world is your schooling good for if you can't tell that yet? Don't you see now that modo and tense need not belong exclusively to verbs, or even grammar itself ? That it may belong just as properly to circum? stances, events, actions, men and things, as to language ? Do you soo this ? I'm afraid not, indeed." That wo looked blank onough to con? firm such a fear there is no doubt; but wo had no answer to give, for wo had never dreamed of such a free translation of thoso blind words "mode and tense." "Well, well," father went on, "perhaps , ,1 ought not to expect it at your age; but I trust tho time may come when you will be able to perceive and apply principles whether found in bookB or anything else; in short, to generalize, and not be forever eramming your heads with particulars and details. But now as I havo sadly per? plexed you all, I think I must tell you a story to raako up for it, as well as to il? lustrate tho importance of modo and tonso according to my more enlarged ap? plication of it. Aha! that brightens you at once, I see. Well, shut up your /'ram mars, and you, Eebecca, jU8t move my footstool a trifle?mind you, don't touch my toe?. Mercy ! Well, I suppose vou eouldn't help it. Oh!-? 11 y "Did I hurt you, dear papa ?" said Re? becca, pitifully. "I tried not to, indood." "I know it," answered father, kindly ? "and now pay attention and I'll tell yon my story of mode and tenso ; it's a short one, and perhaps you'll think it a dull one, but it is all true, and affords a very interesting rcranisconco to your father." "Is it about yourself, papa?" asked Ma? ria Jane. "Pleaso toll us that, at tho out? set" "You mustn't be too inquisitive," re? plied father, evasively. "It's enough to know that it is true, and that I know per? sonally tho characters in it; and now don't interrupt me any more." "No, no, no, papa," said wc, all gather? ing a little closer to his chair; a move? ment which he regarded with a depreca? ting ? expression until satisfied that his toes were in no danger. "My friend, Manning, yon know," com? menced father, (wo knew nothing about him, by the way,) "was an obscuro but ambitious boy, and having abilities not of an everyday order, ho early resolved upon turning himself to somo account in the world. But he was a poor man's son, and one of a large family, and tho question was how to bring it about under circum? stances as unfavorable as could well be im? agined. His parents were plain, hard? working, honest, church-going people, having little to do with tho refinements of lifo, but possessing, plenty of strong, good.sonso and innate perceptions of the proprieties of social intercourse. And they had carefully and persevcringly in? culcated the notions which this good sense suggested. Ono rule they especial? ly insisted on?ono, I rcgrot to say, which is too ofton dierogardod by people of their station. They scrupulously onjoined and onforccd, if necessary, a respect and dc ferenco for superiors oithor in ago, condi? tion or character; never allowing an in? fraction of this rule to pass without suit? able robnko or. punishment; a practice which all parents and educators of youth would do well to imitate; for, depend upon it, girls, thore is nothing in the world which so prcpossoeses one in favor of another as civil and respectful beha? vior or address. I care not whether old or young, rich or poor, wise or ignorant, it is tho passport to good will, and has, in many instances, boon the stepping-stone to fortune. Well, my friend Manning, at this period of his history, was as green and untutored a little chap as need be ; bashful and awkward beyond all descrip? tion ; but he had got his losson by heart, though he seldom bad a call to put it into practice. "One bright autumn Sunday, }"oung Manning and one or two of his brothers wero standing on tho terraco of tho vil lago meeting-house; for though they lived at a distanco, they were required to be | punctually at church as often as Sunday came; for these parents, not professedly religious, hold very correct notions about church-going. 'It's respectable,' said they, 'and we wish you to bo respected. We cannot leave you money, but wo will see to it that you acquire right habits." "They stood on the terrace, I said, ma? king their boyish observations on the va? rious equipages of the good town's people as they cracked up their steady old nags in order to flourish up to the church door, thero to deposit their load of women and children. Among tho last arrivals they noticed a horse and chaise which contain? ed only a lady and little girl, both dressed in deep mourning. The lady stopped her horse and lookod around in Borne perplex? ity as to what sho would do with it. Young Manning instantly comprehended tho matter, and springing to her assis? tance, his face hot with blushes, ho took tho reins from her hand whilo she alight? ed, and helped out tho littlo girl; and though she oxprcssod warmly her pleas? ure at his unsolicited politeness and at? tention, his diffidence was such that he could not uttor a single word in reply ; for he had recognized in her a widow la? dy who had very recently taken up her residonce at a fine old mansion not far from tiie village, of whose wealth and grandeur he had heard fabulous rumors. So ho only stood by tho horso, blushing and smiling, till the occupants of the car? riage wero eafely on the ground, and then carefully secured the horse in a neighbor? ing shed, whilo the lady and her daughtor wont into tho church. "Now, girls, trivial and unimportant as this occurrence may seem, it essentially modified the wholo after-life of that lad. It wasn't simply the act itself, but the mode and tenso of it, which had such a power to affect his destiny. Do you un? derstand? The manner and timo of do? ing a thing, quito indifferent in itself, may, and often does, mako an ineffaceable im? pression !" Father stopped short and looked ear? nestly, but very pleasantly. "Yes, sir," answered Rebecca, thinking he awaited somo response on our part ; "yes, sir, but that isn't all, is it ?" "Not quite," roplicd ho with a queer twinkle in his oyes, "unless you arc tired of listoning." "No, indeed, papa, do go on," urged wo all in the samo breath. "Well, thon," proceeded father, "after servico tho widow, Mrs. D., and her little girl, found their horso and chaise at the door, and tho same boy in attendance, with tho samo friendly smilo, and tho samo insurmountable diffidenco holding him tongue-tied. Mrs. D. took a silver quarter from her pocket, and was going to slip it into tho boy's hand as an accompaniment to her thanks, but ho was out of sight tho mo? ment they were seated in tho chaise. "Who is that boy, Elizabeth V inquired tho widow, as they drovo homeward. "I don't know, mamma, but I saw him in tho Sunday school; his class is very near mino," replied Elizabeth. "Indeed," said Mrs. D., "but I might havo known he belonged to the Sunday school, and that he had been carefully trained at homo, too, by his civil and ex? traordinary behavior. Quito extraordi? nary in a raw country lad. I shall keep my oyo on that boy, Elizabeth, for you may rely upon it ho will bo hoard of in the world, whatovor his situation and prospects may now bo." Elizabeth was pleased to hear the lad commended, and added her own remarks to tho same purport. "Through the succeeding week tho lad was often mentioned; and by taking somo trouble his namo and residonco wero as? certained, togethor with certain particu? lars respecting his ambitious purposes for the future; all of which information only served to convince tho widow that she had not boon mistaken in her first esti? mate of tho youngster. "Wo now pass over an interval of ten years, which to my friond Manning were years of stern but resolute struggle and toil. Bent on the courso which had been tho themo of his childish prattlo, ho had undertakon, single-handed, to grapple with tho thousand obstacles which rose, mountain high, between his poverty and a liboral education and professional ca reef. But he had never faltered nor wa? vered in his determination, though some? times ready to sink in unequal contest with untoward circumstances, lie fought his way through a preparatory process, entered cpllego in advance, and finally graduatcd with tho highest honors of his class. "But results liko these, (at least he thought .so.) could never have been achieved," had not his courage, energy and resolution been sustained from some un? known and mysterious source. He felt a conviction that there were somewhere those who watched his conflict with deep and earnest interest; and though he could not conjecture whore they were, nor who, lie determined that those invisible eyes should not witness a defeat. Now and then, in his greatest emergencies, (for these seemed to be understood by others besides himself,) he would find some solid testimonial of interest appearing just at tho moment of need ; and in a manner, so considerate and delicate, as to awaken no other fueling than the liveliest grati? tude. More than once, when he went with a rueful face to make known the im? possibility of discharging certain pecuni? ary obligations at tho appointed time, he found them already canceled; and when ho entored on the study of the law, he was not unfrequently astonished by the arrival at his quarters of packages of books, just tho ones ho needed to aid his progress." Here father looked compla? cently at his own capacious and well filled shelves. "Whon ho was admitted to the bar, and was dubiously casting about for some humblo place whero he might open an office and commence tho practice of his laboriously acquired profession, ho found friends, hitherto unknown to himself, roady to lend him assistance and counsel; saying they had for years been acquaint? ed with his stout-hearted endeavors. How it could be he was unable to divine, but he thanked heaven and them, and made good use of the kindly suggestions. "Soon an advantagoous partnership was offered by an elderly gentleman, of a large and wealthy village, and from this time forth he was a man ! "During all thoso years our poor stu? dent had enjoyed only a speaking ac? quaintance with the widow D. and her pretty Elizabeth; but he soon discovered that his newly-formed business relation was likely to bring him often into the so? ciety of that profoundly respected family, inasmuch as Iiis partner proved a near and valued relative. Of course Manning was enchanted, for his bashfnlness was now somewhat worn off, and?well, to be brief, things took their own course, a course at which none who over knew Elizabeth D. would at all wonder, and?and our j-oung attorney began to bo haunted with aspi? rations of a nature quite different from thoso which had incited and stimulated his literary career. And still more singu? lar to relate, this improvident puppy, with tho full knowledge and consent of the good widow and her charming daughter, did actually consume and squander the very first hundred dollars his profession ever yielded him, in doing the honors of a nuptial occasion with that sweet young lady ! A consummation of bliss which ho could scarcely believe awaited him, till all was over, and he called her his 'lawful wedded wife !'" Father stopped a moment and looked at us as wc listened with breathless inter? est to his story, only afraid of its termi? nating too quickly; but we thought his eyes were a little moist just at this mo? ment, for he went on in a voico some what lowered. "It was not till long after this event that ho became aware how much the mode and tenso of ono trifling act of his boyhood had to do wiih his enviable des? tiny, tor?" At this moment, the library door being ajar, mother hastily entered the room, saying, with an odd expression of coun? tenance : "Husband, husband, what in the world are you talking to the children about this morning? I overheard a few remarks. Come, girls, it is timo to go to school. Start off this moment, or you will bo too lato/' "I was only explaining their grammar," replied father, laughing and putting to his lips tho hand with which she was about to adjust his cushions. We looked at them and then atone an? other, and the truth scemod to flash si? multaneous upon us. " Twas mothor, 'twas mothor!" wo ex? claimed all atonco, and rushing upon her wo clasped her in our six arms and over? whelmed her with a perfect torrent of kisses, wliilo father, forgetting the risk of his toes for tho moment, laughed till the tears run down his checks, and mother chided, and blushed, and laughed alter? nately. Wo needed no other confirmation that father had been letting out family secrets; and after a scene of tumultuous merri? ment, such as that library never witness? ed, to our knowlcdgo before or sinco, wc obeyed mothor's reiterated injunctions, and started off to school with a glorious opinion of mode and tense! -?*-, Ax Infamous Radical Fraud?Or.n Stories Revamped.?The story started by the New York Evening Post, and now going the rounds of the Itadical press, to the effect that two Texan planter refused "to go home until they had shot a negro," and did finally bring down an unlucky darkey whom they chanced to meet, is recognized by the* New Haven Register as an old acquaintance, it having first been published in an anti-slavery almanac, some twenty years ago, to illustrate the prevail? ing cruelty of slaveholders in South Caro? lina. "Afterwards," says the Register, "it was located in 'bleeding Kansas,' and did duty for 'two border ruffians,' who would not leave town until they had 'shot a Yankee.' It is an excellent bit of sensation stuff, but wc question the policy of using it oftener than once in twenty years or so. The in? ventor of the story was remarkable for modesty, or far cunning?as he has never taken out a copyright?but it is passing strange that a man with a thimbleful of brains could for au instant believe such a barbarous act could be committed with impunity in any part of this country. ?. ? A young lady refused to go into the Watcrvliet Arsenal the other day because she had heard that some of the # muskets were without breeches. She veiwed the arsenal from a distance. ', FUTURE PROSPECTS OF COTTON. Those who have held that "Cotton is King," now that the king is dethroned, seem determined that he shall not he even a citizen among us. They prophesy evil of the plant, and advocate the growing of other crops in the Cotton States. "Let us raise the cereals and the meats that we consume at home, and let the world take care of itself. If we grow cotton, let it be only in such quantity as wc can manu? facture at home." This outcry of disap? pointed ambition is very natural and very foolish. The vindictive feelings of a peo? ple will have very little to do with the crops they raise. These will be governed mainly by commercial considerations. Men will raise that by which they think they can make the most money, whether it accords with their political views or not. We cultivate land to get ahead in the world, and to sustain our families, and not to build up or demolish political theories. It is the best economy for the commo7i wealth and for the individual that every locality should raise the crops for which it has the best natural or acquired facilities. The new lands in the north-west will grow wheat very largely, because it pays better than anything else. In the valleys of the Susquehanna and its tributaries, they will follow the rotation, corn, oats, wheat, clo? ver, and timothy, because these crops suit the soil and climate, and pay better than dairy farming. In New York they will raise butter and cheese. About our large cities, they will follow truck farming. In the cotton belt, they will continue to grow cotton for the same reason. The plant flourishes there better than in any other region where it has been tried, and can be raised most economically. When men can make from fifty to a hundred dollars per acre by putting in this crop, they will not plant corn and oats to get half as much. Men will follow dollars rather than dogmas, in their industries. We expect to sec cotton flourish in the South more ex? tensively than ever. With all the de? struction of the Avar, a very large capital is still invested in lands, gins, gin-houses, presses, anrl sheds, and the people have, the requisite skill to raise and send it to market. The plantations may gradually grow smaller under the new order of things, but the old crops, with some slight variations, will be continued. Last year, with an almost unparalleled drouth and other hindrances in the matter of deficient capital and disorganized labor, nearly two millions of bales were raised. With fa? vorable weather, at least three millions of bales would have been sent to market last year. Within a very short period, we ex? pect to see the old time cotton crops greatly exceeded. Violent partisans may wail because thereof, but they cannot help it.?American Agriculturalist. COTTON. Our observation of the reports in our Southern exchanges justify us in saying that the prospects for even a moderate crop arc diminishing. The seasons have been unfavorable, and it now can be cal? culated, within a reasonable proximity, what the yield will be. So far as wc can learn, that yield will fall short of an aver? age, even on the limited breadth of ground planted. The stock on hand is very low, and the quality inferior. It is stated that the amount on hand and on ship-board is less than 100,000 bales, and that probably rot less than 25,000 bales of that on shipboard is bound for foreign ports. The amount, therefore, really available for American consumption, probably not exceeds 75,000 bales, and most of this is of iuferior grades. This, taken in connection with the prospect of a diminished supply and the lateness ot the season, is considerably disturbing the calculation of American spinners and manufactures. It requires about 15,000 bales per week to supply American spindles, and from this date until the new crop begins to come freely into market, say nine weeks, 1.'14,000 bales will be required. It has been shown above that not over 75,000 bales can be thrown on the markets?and it is doubtful even if this amount will be offered, many parties preferring to hold on for better prices?so that there will be 60, 000 bales deficiency, even for supply re? quired by home manufacturers, This may, to a "-rent extent, account for tho New England mills stopping or running short time, and shows the sagacity of those Eastern capitalists?lords of the spindle loom. What our Southern planters may choose to do with their coming crops, or the stock on hand, we do not know; wc give the above facts and figures for their consideration, with the inference drawn therefrom, that there can scarcely be any dccliue in the price of the staple. Columbia Phoenix. -+ ? Mr. II. Rives, who furnished the ed? itor of the Jackson (La.) Flag with the largest onion the latter oversaw raised in that section, and which came from seed planted this season, notwithstanding the old fogy idea that onions largo enough for use could not be produced from seed in a single season, says you must keep the earth scraped from the onion, while growing, if yon want to make them large. J A NEW SYSTEM OF LABOR. Several planters in Hinds and Madison Counties, Miss., believe that they have dis? covered this most desirable modus operan? di ; and as it cannot fail to be interesting to our readers, we will briefly sketch the system. They don't believe that working large gangs of hands, with one or two to watch them is the best way with free blacks. They don't pretend to undertake the raising of meat for their hands. They fence out their woodlands, and then place the blacks in cabins several huudred yards apart, and on the borders of the wood? lands. To each family of blacks they as? sign sucli an amount of land as they can cultivate well, and loau to each three la? borers two mules and other needful arti? cles. The blacks grow corn, cotton, or other things: and halt the crops, after de? ducting* the cost of supplies furnished, is given to the black producers. Living on the border of the woodland, each family of blacks, without trouble, raises its own pigs, which fatteu on the mast in the woods.' When, owing to the drought, there is a partial failure of the corn crop, the wood-buds on the trees are certain to be checked, and thus throwing the strength of the trees in limit buds, there is always a most abundant crop of acorns and oth? er mast. Where there is a gang ol sixty hands, the supplying of meat has been a great trouble. If the meat was purchased from a commission merchant, its cost re? duces greatly plantation profits, and if it was grown on the plantation, it cost much trouble. Heretofore one of the greatest annoy? ances of plantation lite has been the diffi? culty of getting the blacks to take care of the plantation stock, but when each fami? ly of blacks look after its own stock and raises its own meat, the difficulty is sur? mounted. In every gang of a hundred hands there is certain to be at least fifteen lazy ones, and in the field ordinarily the whole gang is content with the pace of the fifteen most lazy ones. Where a fami? ly has its own allotment, and is to profit by the amount of the crop, the head of the family is pretty certain to keep the others well up with the work. Each working family, having its humble home at some distance fron? others, that pilfer? ing which is so prevalent in and about quarters is pretty much done away. The friends of this system are sanguine that its general adoption will give to the South such an organization of labor as it needs?will tend to stimulate production, will advance the physical, social and moral condition of the negro; will har? monize the interests of employer and em? ployee, and cause the Southern States to blossom with prosperity. This system of labor is not unlike the cottier system of Scotland. Its advocates claim that it is infinitely better than efforts to import for? eigners and to learn them to cultivate cot? ton, and to harmonize their modes of working with those only familiar with slave labor.?Exchange. A Barbkr Puzzled?Three brothers, bearing a remarkable resemblance to one another, are in the habit of shaving at the same barber shop. Not long ago, one of the brothers entered the shop curly in the morning, and was duly shaved by a Ger? man who had been at work in the shop for a day or two. About noon another broth? er came in, and underwent a similar oper? ation at the hands of the same barber. In tlie evening the third brother made his appearance, when the German dropped his razor in astonishment and exclaimed, "Yell, mine Gott! dat man hash de facht? est beard I never saw : I shaves him dis mornin', shaves him at dinner times, and he gomes back now, mit his beard so long as it never vash !" - ? Bedbugs, according to a lady corres? pondent, have a great aversion to salt. She states that if the articles and places j infested with bedbugs are washed with I salt water, and crevices in which the ver? min hide arc filled with it they will give I no more trouble. i ? An old miser, who was notorious for self-denial, was one day asked why he was so thin. 'I do not know,' said the iniser; 'I have tried various ways'for "jetting fat? ter, but without success.' 'Have you tried victuals ?' inquired the friend. - ? When Chang and Eng were first ex? hibited in New York, a curious inquirer went up to the exhibitor and asked :? "These the Siamese?' 'Yes sir.' 'Broth? ers, I presume ?' On the whole he thought they were. ? An editor never leaves any money at home for fear of fire, and never carries any with him for fear of robbers, nor deposits it in any bank for fear of speculative bank officers. ?
