Of eighty-six mills in the Southern States, Georgia had last year twenty-one or one fourth. The"whoIe number of spindles run in the South was 222.07-; of the.?e G9,782 or about one-third were in Georei* mills oonsuminjr nearly quite as much of the raw material as all the ? other wills in the South combined. The manyfacUire of cotton in the South is bound to become large and extensive. The surplus profits arising from the production of the raw material will necessarily be invested to a large extent in manufactories. First, because no other investment will pay so handf* eome a profit; and second, because there will be nothing else to invest their surplus in.. If laborers could be multiplied by the. mere force of capita), as was the case in the days of slavery. y large amounts of each year's profits would be invested in lobor and lands for increoscd production. But this is not the case now We have a limited ennivlo nf 1-iKaw NIa ?mrvnnf r\P ?\rarlnn. r ouKFV Vl ,u vu 1 v u uiv/uii i/ vi tion, no extent of price will enable planters uow to increase the area of their crops.

T! ey are unable to see why the mere fact that theircapUai is invested iu land, much of it red ei*y, gullhsund light | * . ' * i gaudy ridges, should throw the bulk of gift Hxatioo upon them. Ths result is a V-, Bowing conviction that if this kind ot :. I I I ?L _l. _ _l. ' . Ioperty is sovatuaDie, inose mu auuathe profits of land should also pay eir share for the privilege of making >ps thereon. In other words, land ners are beginning to think that the red laborer, who gets one-third of the >p, ought, in injustice to pay one-third the tax. Under the present arrange. ?nt, bis share of the crop is hett profit, he contributes nothing but his labor e two-thirds which the owner gets, oc 2 other hand, are gross. The entire ,- rr f i'.. expcnces of the furiu are to be deducted in order to show what he actually make: 1 by the year's risk arid trouble. It has, therefore, been suggested th i the land owners of the State insist upor the payment of part of the land tax b} the hired laborer, as a condition in al contracts where a share of the crop ii tlie remuneration. The idea is that h< who shares in the pn fit,' oU'jht also t< sli:irc in th?% burdens Thi-s idea ii founded on justice.

Man pays the bill; p 1 woman loves and worships. Man has more of the moral element, woman more j "of the devotional element; he has the 1 conscience, ?ho the faith; he has the . greater sauity, she the greater sanctity. ^ A Novel Device for Saving Rus ted ottos.?One of the effects of rust r on ootfon is to dry'trp the half .grown bells, and contract and harden the shell _ or case wliich.covei'.s the liut. It raj^ly occurs that this outer covering is so much hardened and contracted as to prevent the boll from cracking or opening u little. This year, however, the rust has been so bad that these rusted bolls do not ''crack." A B i;ke planter came to this city last week and put chased twenty-three little , hammers, one for each of his pickers,i , and a ucntleman from that neighborhood ( informs us that a lively hammering of , cotton howls is now going on there The hammer is carried in a c.ise hur-g at the picker's side, and when a hard boll is encountered a smart tap forced the casing open, and the pbtfon is thus sc' ! cured.

The scene is graphically I described in the Boston papers. Gov. . Cluflin was on the ground, and "spoke earnestly," pnd Senator Wilson "elor quently appealed to the unconverted." i Amid these and other appeals from all - quarters, Doctor Butler stood not only ! unconverted, but unmoved. Whereupon Cluflin having failed, and the Natick ' cobbler having shuffled and howled to i no purpose, "an anxious sister singled - j out Butler and earnestly entreated him j to come up to the alter." But the"anxt ious sister" even could not arouse Butler or bring him up to the stand, where ; th? unconverted were to be specially ; prayed for. Whereupon "a zealous bro titer uo 1 is knees beirured him to 20 for j ward," ai.d "the clergyman in charge i j besought. him, strenously," even pro: i iiiihing "to keep open the meeting all 1 ; night," if Butler would only try to be ; converted.

There is no accounting for taste,'especially when, it runs into a fashion. ... Fifty Years Ago.?A strange incident recently occurred in a furniture auction store in Philadelphia. A tall, white haired lady, dressed in the costume of fifty years ago entered the store and with an air of abstraction Wandered abodt among the old furniture until she came to an old-fashioned piano, which looked moro like a harpsichord or spinnet than the instrument of the Stcinways and Chickerings. She drew a chair before it, and unmindful of the ..-j t> .r attention sue artracieu rroui u ic? persons in the store, she began to piny the old Scotch air of ''Bonnie Doon." This was followed,' without iutcrniptio'n, by "The Harp that once through Tura's Halls," the strange visitor accompanying the instrument with her cracked, piping voice, and those who stood by saw tears Streaming dowD the old and wrinkled chfieks. After singing one or two' stanzas of Moore's melody she struck into the bold strains of the ancient authem, ''Vital Spark of Heavenly Flame," still sobbing as she sung.? When the lino, ''Tell me, my soul, can this be death ?" jtras i;cached, sjie, suddenly stopped playing and buried her face in her hands. So she sat until the attention of the two or three persons present was called away by the entrance of customers, and wheu they again turned totho old piano the weird visitor had disappeared. : ' WEEPINO AT ADAM'S TOMB.?in Judea there is a tonib which the monks, who have it in charge, aver is the one in which Adam, the father and head of the human race is buried.

True, a distant one, but still a relation. The unerring instinct of nature thrilled its relation. The fountain of my filial affection was stirred to its profouudest depths and I gave way to tumultuous emotion. I leaned upon a pillar and burst into tears.
