Evans & Co, ITO SPOT CASH CLOTHIERS |FHITE FRONT. _ Nagging Collectors. 1 That vicious habit ot nagging col lectors who present bills for settlement is much moro prevalent in thc business worltl than is generally supposed. There are some unfortunate individuals who seem to bo incapable of paying a bill without indulging in some sneering and offensive remark, not always di rect tit thc collector personally, but nevertheless offensive because intend ed for his principal in a mild sort of backbiting fashion. The habit is not always the evidence of ill-breeding, or low-breeding, or . of inherently de praved nature. Some very good men are often guilty of it, led into it by thoughtlessness and thc force of ex ample, but oftener betrayed into it by irritability over some other mutter that has vexed them. This lat ter cause is evidence ot a deplorable infirmity of character, and no man should engage in buisiness who has not self-control enough to deal with every question on its own merits, anti not to vent his spleen on one person to gratify his resentment against another. Such men will never succeed in business, and do not deserve to succeed, and their efforts will only bring them au antepastof hell upon this earth with a fruition of it perhaps hereafter. .'Collectors are a very important part of the complicated mechanism of buisnefis. They aro generally young men who aro making their debut upon tbe stage of life. They have come into the business world from a social atmosphere of refinement and courtesy, and are naturally shocked and some times perverted by exhibitions of bear ishness where they should lind gen tility and manliness. Their intuitions are hs quick as their sensibilities, and they rarely fail to size men up for what they aro worth. They are the coming meii of tho mart, destined to be mer chants, manufacturers, bankers, rail road managers, and princes in other departments of tho business world, and they never forgot the first impression you made on them, and that impression may cost you many a good turn before you go over to thc great majority. "Now there is another thing that should be remembered in this connec tion . The man that pays thc collec tor's bill is tho man that has received the favor. According to any proper rule of business ethics, or common justice, he should have carried tho money him self or sent it to his creditor. Mut when the creditor sends a polite and well-dressed young man to collect thc bill, especially after ho has previously dohvered the goods at the debtors' door, it would seem to bc a matter of the highest obligation on thc debtor's part to put his heel firmly on whatever of the yaller dog that may bc tugging nt his nature, and to treat thc young gen tleman who is doing him the favor to bring his account to him with marked consideration and respect. It is good policy, present and prospective, to do so. if you have a grievance, real or fancied, and if yon must make an ex hibition of yourself, go and soe thc boss, and have it ont with him. Maybe; he is the same sort of fellow you are, and then it will bo Greek meet Greek. Mut remember that the collector is a gentleman, and deserves consideration as sueh."-Psisrsbnrg ( Va.) Imlex.

I don't know, unless they leave their wives and children and go and serve out what their terni will be in the chain gang to bo really to start another crop when Spring conies. They say it is tlie cotton famine, and I think so my self, but what caused tho famine, drought.' No; it is the very worst famine that luis ever befell the human j race-ignorance, and why aro we such fools? If cotton was the only plant we could raise we would have ground to be excused, but where arc our grounds'.' I hear men talk about: the buyer and the manufacturer, and say sharp things when they had no rigid to. If anybody wero to ofTer us a fortune wc would be fools for not taking it. We kohl out a fortune for them and say sharp things because they take it. Now. dear friends, why not have to cents for our cotton'.' Those buyers and manufac turers are not thieves and liars, who mean nothing but to cheat, as many ol' the light-headed farmers think. They see tho fortune and have nothing to do but pick it up. Now let us think about what we are doing. Knst of tho Mis sissippi tho dry weather is general, and west of it there have been Hoods. Now why sell your cotton for 5 cents when you can get double that. 1-et us awake to a realization of our folly. I hoard au experienced man not long ago say that if cotton wero $1 per pound he would raise his hog and hominy at home. Now, why not all do thar, aiid wo could sell our cotton at a better price, bnt if we did not got but 2? cents per pound AVO wouM bo in a veal good lix. Yours truly, ?KA L. F UK KM AN.

SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA-Extreme difficulty of breathing, which is werie at certain seasons of the year and at particular periods of the day, being generally worse at night. The difficulty breathing is increased by violent emotions, damp atmosphere, excess of any kind, strong exercise, running or ascending a flight of stairs. It is also more laborious in a horizontal position, and hence more distress ?lt at night when in bed. The warmth of the bed also has a strong influence on the disease.' The patient seeks relief by sitting upright in bed or bending the body forward and endeavoring to expand the chest cnanicaUy by every possible means. In SPASMODIC ASTHMAthe nerves are deeply implicated, their action seem defective in the respiratory organs. In both cases the difficulty is increased by physical or ntal excitement, and may endanger life if precautions are neglected. Attacke of Spasmodic Asthma generally occur during the first sleep, soon after midnight, when sleep is most sound, or early in the morning, e patient suddenly awakes with a sense of suffocation, tightness of the chest and difficulty of breathing. The respiration is wheezing and laborious, the shoulders are raised and every effort made to enlarge the ?Bt. The puls?is quick, weak and Irregular, the lower extremities are cold.
