have received from Mr. Win. P.
Beasley, of Gretfnsbdro, N. C., through
Major James Sloan, of the same placo,
tM specimen of sugar made from sorghum,
and along with it a pamphlet
relating to th6 process of manufacture
a&d its cost. The sugar is a very fine
ample and good enough for anybody,
being equal in color, brightness and
sweetness to the best refined "A"
sugar. Mr. Bcftsley says : " Of tho
certainty of this process, none neod
have any doubts, for it has undergone
the most thorough investigation and
surmounted the most skeptical doubts."
He reooramends the use of new seed
of the " Black Imphee"?that in common
use being mostly impure?and
says an acre will yield five hundred
pounds sugar, fifty gallons syrup aud
twenty-five bushels seed. At half
these figures, it would be a very
profitable crop. The sugar made by
this process costs from five to eight
cents per pound, and syrup from j
twenty-five to thirty ccnts per gallon. t
The neccBsary machinery is plain ,
and simple, and can bo made at any j
foundry. It consists of <
Two-horse mill, cost - - - - $100 i
Three evaporators - - - - 80 \
Bricks for furnaces ----- 30 ]
Skimmers, &c. - -- -- -- - 30 1
$260 ]
This machinery is sufficient for i
forty acres of cane, and will last ten j
years. New soed can bo obtained
from James Sloan & Sons, Greens- j
boro', at twenty-five cents a pound? t
four pounds necessary to plant an acre. 1
\Vm. P. Beasley is sole agent for Bale t
of rights in North Carolina, Captain i
Thomas S. Preston, of Lynchburg, a
Buiu uguut ior Virginia. ' L
This process, if it be as represented, ^
and we bopo it is, will produce a vast *
effect upon the well-being of the c
Southern States. "We do not know I
the amount of money expended in c
Virginia annually in Bugar and *
molasses, but we suppose it docs not c
fall short of two millions of dollars,
probably it excecds three millions. c
This money all leaves the country, c
and is a total loss. By producing our 1
own sugar, it would bo saved, and we 1
incline to tko opinion that the labor *
neoesaary for this production would
not greatly interfere with or materially
diminish our present staples.?

It Don't Pay to Advertise.
Don't it? The man who says it don't
lay to advertiso ie, ju3t as likely
48 not, doing it in some way,
ill the time. If tho morcliant hangs
i few of his goods outside of tho
ioor?ho is advertising. If tho cabnot
maker hangs a chair or othor ar.iolo
of Furniture at his shop door,
be is advertising. If a man loses a
iorse or a cow and tells every one

Trouble with Cabbages.?The
cabbage plant has many enemies;
those which are particularly annoying
in the early stages of its existence ate
the small white maggot, at the root of
the seedling, and fche cut-warm, after
the plant has. bocn Bet out. Several
small flics of the genus Anthomyia
infest the redwh, turnip apd other
plants of the same family, as well as
the cabbage. The troublosome "maggots"
which iufest the roots of these
plants are the larve of these insects.
A'hey sometimes Attack a aeed bed of
cabbages in soch numbers as to render
all the plants wortblcss. We have
already given the proposed remedies,
such as dusting with lime, ashes, ete.
The latest suggestion we have soen is
to grow the seedling plants in boxep,
elevated six qr eight feet above the
ground. It is said that this plae^s
the plants above the reach of the
parent insect. The ppt-worm?-jvbich

I Tbo List Dollar. ,
He gave it to bis wife with ft sigh,
yet with a look of resignation.
"It is our last dollar," be said.
"But the Lord will provide."
The Rev. James Spring was minister
in the little mountain village of
Thorrville. He was poor, and his
congregation poorer. Often beforeI
ho had been verv near hi* Hniio*
but ho had never got oat until to-day.
"So you've been alway$?feiying,"
sobbed his wife; "but whafeijc to become
of us when this is goq&f^Thcy
won't trust us any more at t&e. store,
and your salary won't ba*ii?e- for
threo weeks, even if you got then.
Why do you stay here, when the people
are so poor."
"I have no other place to go to;
nor money to travel to it, if the Lord
opened the way. My work for the
present is hero. lie feedeth the
young ravens j Ho will surely feed
us."
"I wish I had your faith, but I
havon't. and it won't. r>nmr? tr\ mn
Oh I what shall we dot" and she
wrung her hands despairingly. "My
poor children." <; - .
"Once I was young, and now I am
old," solemnly said her husband, speaking
in the words of the Fsalmtot, "yet
never have I seen the rjgKteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread."
As if in answer to this pious ejaculation,
there came a sudden knock at
the door. All the while the minister
and his wife had been talking, a storm
had been raging outside. On opening
the door, a traveller quite wet through
ontcred.
"I was coming through tho forost
from Maryville," ho said, "and ventured
to stop at the first house I saw.
My horse is in the shed. Do I take
too great a liberty ?"
"Not at all," answered tho master
or the noufto. "Wc have but a poor
shelter, as you see; there is a good
fire at any rate."
For it was in the kitchen where
this conversation took place. Indeed
this humble house boasted no parlor,
and the kitchen was dining-room,
drawing room, living room and all.
The stranger proved to be a man of
education and intelligence, and in conversation
with him, the minister forgot
ftifl tfoilbie, and was rrnrinded of
his earlier and brighter days, when
intellectual compaui<>nship had not
been the rare thing it was now,
among these hills.
At last the storm abated, and the
stranger arose to go. His host aecompanicd
him to the gate, and
watched him until he disappeared behind
a turn of the road.
"See hero James," said his wife, ea>gerly,
when he returned to the house?"I
found thfe on the table near
where the gentleman sat."
It was a fifty dollar greenback,
wrapped hastily in a bit of paper,
that looked as if it bad been torn
irora a pocKet-oooK, ana on tbo inside
of the paper was written tho
verse of the Psalmist, which waa
now apparent the traveller had ove r
heard.
MI thought he was writing the directions
he asked for," said the minister.?He
means it for ns. Thanks
be to the Ix>rd 1 Did I not say, my
dear, ho would provide?"
His wife burst into teal's.
"God forgive mel" she said. "I will
never doubt Again. The Lord surely
sont this stranger to our aid." I
"And he will still provide,*' replied
her husband. "Whatevor my lot
may be, her? or elsewhere, in Him I
trust." A
month after, a letter, a rare event
came to the "Rev. James Spring." It
was as follows: "Tlev. and dear Sir?
The ohuroh at Maryville has unanimnnitv
/*?!!?< .t*
J w ?ur J'UOVUI atu,
The salary is fifteen hundred dollars
and a good parsonage boose." The
letter concluded by- saying r' "The

"Mother, I can't find my seventeen
cents anywhere," said Arthur,
coming into bis mother's room with
quite an anxious face. "I put it right'
here iu my pocket book, and that into
my overcoat pocket. It has been
hanging up in the hall all day, and I
do believe that new girl has taken it
out. Sho saw me have it last night
and put it away.
"Look in your other pockets, Arthur.
A little boy who is so apt to
forget things must not be too positive
that he put his money in his pocket
book. And never accuse any person
of stealing without a shadow of evidence.
That is very sinful as well
as very unkind. What if Susan
should lose her monev and awnun mil
of stealing it? Would you feel very
pleasant about it? Remember the
golden rule."
"Bot mother, she looked guilty
when I said I had lost it, and that I
knew some ono had taken it out of
my pocket."
"Very likely she did look confused
on hearing you make such an unkind
speeoh. She knew very well there
was no ono in the house you could
suspcct of taking it but herself.
You might as well have said bo in
plain words. An innoccnt person is
more apt to look guilty, when accused
of a crime, than one who is hardened
in wrong doing. The latter usually
have ft i'aco made up to suit any occasion.
A gentleman once said that the
most guilty looking person ho evor
saw, waa a man arrested for stealing
a horse, which afterwards proved to
be his own."
"But what has becomo of my money,
mother ? It is gone, that is certain."
"I believe you lost a fine top once,
that it WP8 supposed a little neighbor
had stolen," said his mother with a
smile.
"But I can't have left this down in
the grapevine arbor this winter weather."
"But there are plenty of other losing
places about. Did you have on
that jacket last evening?"
"No. mother T T tind nr> mtr
gray one, but tbenl know I put it into
ray pocket book."
"IM'tiay yoti know, dear, fbr it
may be an untruth. Please bring me
your gray jacket."
Artbur walked slowly up to his
room, but he walked back slowly
still, and looked very foolish when he
came into his mother's room again.
Mother comprehended it all at a
glanco, and smiled as she Baid,?
"I wonder who looks guilty this
time!"
"Ob, mother, I am sorry, but I did
not mean to accuse Susan so wrongly.
I remember now just as plainly as
can be, wrapping up those three five
cent pieces, and two pennies in tbat
bit of paper, and putting it into my
jacket pock )t."
"It is a very serious thing, Arthur,
to make such charges as you . did a
few moments ago against an innocent
person. What if you had moutioncd
it among' your school-mates ? It
would not be long before it would be
told all about?'Susan at Mr. Reynold's
Btcals. I wonder they keep her.' If
she ever wished to get another place
it might be a very difficult master.
Though you contradict the story afterwards,
it would never undo the
mischcif. Many will ippeat an injurious
story, who viil never take the
| trouble to corrcot it. I will pray for j
you, dear boy, that yon may loarn to i
oorvoct tliid sinful habit; and. L hope
you will with me. You never will
improve a bad bobit until you piay
over it. Bun now and tell fciuaati.you
havo found your money; and .try tp I

Of the population of South Caro- ^
lina, 400,000 are colored and 300,000 ?

Emigration helps and so does tho
death rate. A "Times" correspon- ^
dent says that the mortuary reports

there have died 1,208persons; of those
818 were colorod, and 380 white.
That is, more than two nogroes to
one white died last year in Charles- c
ton. llore exactly it is, one negro in c
every twenty-four dios annually; a
while in the same time only one in <j
every fifty-one white dies* f
. The vote of tho Slate is about one t
in seven ; that is, about 100,000 votes '
in rJl. Of these 60,000 are negroes, *
and 40,000 whites?the majority of i
negroes being 20,000. The black race ?
is crowding toward the coast, leaving I
the upper and middle country. This
! gives the mountain Counties ah*eady
a majority- of whito votes; and this ]?
mutuuiy must increase ?on that aide |1

The worst feature I have; noticed
mong our . brethren against the
rosperity of the- cause is, bo few
ike our religious paper, and when
>licited to ta&eit^ their plea is
averty. Many of these poor famiBs
are able to take the New York
edger. I never expect to see any
lurch thoroughly alive and aealisly
at work iu, and soundly conjrted
to, the great cause of Bible
hristianity, with which we are
en tilled until they take and read
jr religious papers.

too much ou what we are

Every Christian should be a Bible

In the first case his religion
developed through the head. In
ic second through the haud. In

ut in all cases it requires the whole
