>v {- . ^ SAD THINGS. "Of all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, "It might have been!'" WuiTTiEn. More and are those we daily see, "It is, but hadn't ought to be." Bbet Habtc. But of all sad words to "beats," and tramps. The saddest are these, "I'm out of stamps." New l'ork Weekly. And of all sad words to the tailor sleek, The saddest are these of "call round next week." New York Commercial Adverliier. But sadder than these have ever been. Is the servant's answer, "she isn't in*" Burlington llawkeyt. But saddest of words to printers said. Are, "liia subscription is still unpaid." Southern Watchman. But sadder than all, when news-boys call, Are the words, "we never subscribed at all." Bulletin. But sadder by far and worse than all When a promise is made to pay in the fall. FLASHES. A rolling mill?a fight in a gutter. The music of tbo future?Sixty days note. A New York company makes gas from water. An honest man is the lonesemest work of the Creator. They who "pine" in their yonth can never look "spruce" in old age. Can a man who has been ridden on a rail'bo properly called a railrode man ? Man glories in his strength ; woman glories in her hair ; butter glories in both. There are few who can dam up a stream of profanity when suffering from an aching corn. Never marry a girl who can be caught four times a day by setting a steel trap on a street corner. Young ladies, these evenings, give _i?. fKan more attention to m? pi?uc? they do to their own ma's. "I came off with flying colors,0 as the painter said when he fell from a ladder with a palette on his thumb. Enny man who can swap horses or ketch fish, and not lie about it, iz just about az pius as meu ever git to be in this world. I sot me down in thought profound ?this maxim wise I drew It's easier for you to love a gal than maik a gal love you."

Sardou says: 'The toilet of an actress is wbat the envelope is to a letter; the one always makes us guess the contents of the other." An English gentleman committed suicide recently, leaving a paper to say that he did so because his wife was a great deal too good for him.

A great deal of ein cooks in at the eye. Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions. Truth ia simple, requiring ooithcr study nor art. Attention to small things is the ceo? nomy of virtue. lie who lets things bo given to him is not good at taking. Who is the greatest liar ? He who speaks moat of himself. It is an industrious man who fully understands his own business. Often our friends are the source of our deepest grief and trouble. A man may travel through the world and sow it thick with friendship. "Guard well thy thoughts, for thoughts are heard in Heaven." Sweep first before your own door, ere you sweep before your neighbor's. Measure not thyselfby thy morning shadow, but by tho extent ot thy grave. ? ! your words ana your acm ions compel the world to honor and prrise you Fishes live in the sea as men do on land?the great ones eat up the little ones. If God were not mindful of his promises than we are of his precepts, we were undone. Occasions of trouble and adversity do not make a man frail, but they sbow what he is. Nothing is more common than to try to reconcile oar conscicnc* to our evil thoughts by our good conscience. Kindness is the music of good will to men; aod on this harp the smallest fingers may play heaven's sweetest tune on earth. The more we practice virtue the dearer it becomes, as two friends Jove oneh other the more, the more they know each other. Greatness afanda upon a precipice ; and if prosperity carry a man ev?r so littlo beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces. Contentment ia a pearl of treat price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires, makes a wile and happy purchase.

All Gotton And .Starve..-. J. The Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia made the following terse and pointed , remarks in a speech recently deli ered by him in that State. lie I said: I tell you to day, I carc not what ] seasons may come, what large crops ( you may raise, still under existing j conditions, you will grow poorer, who produce cotton, and they will ( ever grow richer who handle it after j it is produced. Without a great ( change the Southern States arc O j destined to become so many plania- ] tions, practically owned by the ' Northern people, and the Southern , people so many hireling slaves to | work them! And in this condition | you will reap scarce the wages, and | not half the respect of your former ( slaves. And yet the very reverse of this fate is in your power. Under* the present policy the next genera- j tion of Southern people will become the poorest, the most powerless and the most contemptible of earth's in- j habitants, while under a wise policy tKo nort feneration of Southern v,lv e ( people may become the richest, the most powerful and the most respected of people. Which destiny < will we choose ? ' But you 09k how can this better < destiny be secured ? I will tell you. ( First?Make cotton your surplus 1 crop ! In these five words lie the 1 Samson locks of your future power. 1 Make your own fertilizers by rest-1' ing,fgrassing and manuring yourj.' lands. Thus you become independent I of the guano merchants Raise'' your own provisions. Thus you'< become independent of the pro- 1 vision merchants. Your cheapest 1 and safest line of transportation ' runs from your own fields and hog j pens to your own barns and meat 1 Louses. With no debts for your ] supplies you will need no accomtno- ' dation credits at two per cent, per 1 month. Thu9 you become independent of brokers, cotton factors and lien merchants. You can then sell your cotton at your own time to your own chosen buyers, and will get your own money. None of these things can a cotton planter do who plants on credit, and borrows money to buy'his provisions. But you say ; the Western States raise provisions j so much cheaper, we can make more money by raising cotton and buying from them. This is the teach-; ing of figures, and a greater lie never was taught. Now I affirm it is cheaper for you to raise your own provisions than to have them brought from the West and given to you at the nearest depot free of cost and charges. How is this ? In the first place, if we rai"c five millions bales of cotton we will get no more money for them than we- would get for one-half that number. Then out of the same amount realized you pay for raising! the five millions just double the cost of production. Half the labor and supplies employed in raising five million bales of cotton could be employed in raising supplies without. reducing the value of the cotton ' " 1 .1 I 1 _ ' crop one dollar. Jiuc nan ims iauor would raise more than you needed for supplies. You could employ much of it also in enriching your lands and improving your property in many ways. Then you would couie to the end of the year with your crib full of corn, your smokehouse full of meat, your families full of smiles, yourselves full of independence, and your pockets full of money for in- j vestments. And how would you invest it? In cotton factories on ; the waterfalls which God has sent. all through your country to run spindles. This would make you in" j dependent of Old and New England both. Then, also, you would mine your farming implements of industry, which would make you independent of Pennsylvania foundries and Massachusetts workshops. In a word, every improvement would be built . 1 _1l .L - up in your own country, aim an mc profits of those improvements would go into your own pockets. Go on as you are now going, mak-' ing cotton your chief crop, and slavery is the doom of your children and your children's children for-evcr. A people who depend on j other people for food and clothing are and must be slaves. Farmers Boys. For farmers, the country wants the most energetic, thoroughgoing and wide awake boys that can be found. Hence, if a boy is blessed 1 with that crowning concomitant which moves the world?brains? let him become a farmer. Brains constitute tbe great desideratum in ; agricultural science at the present day. Fifty years ago muscle was the essential requisite. Fifty years ago a fanner was expected to perform every manual labor of the furm by tbe exercise of muscular force,! while at the present day he needs brains more than muscle to enable ; liim In mnnnirn lnhnr.Qn.vinir tools ! ...... ?vr - n | and implements with skill and , efficiency. When the labors of the j farm were nearly all performed by the laborious and fatiguing application of human force, farming was irksome and drudgery. ut now, when teams and steam p wer resound to the bidding of the tiller of the soil, agriculture is the most agreeable pursuit one can desire. True, at some seasons of the year farmers 1 are required to labor early and for, several days. Then, again, perhaps for wbfcks ihb'y will hUV'c e'aSy limbs.; Chinese iVheat Fields. Many readers will be surprised at lie following a'sertions in the jV. Y. Bulletin in regard to wheat fields in China: "Some of the Chinamen who have been forced to return to their native country, learned while here to pre" for wheat to rice as the staple nrliclc of food, and have for some time paid considerable attention to its cultivation. It is now said that their home production is increasing ;o rapidly, that there will soon he a surplus for export- So careful and close is Chinese agriculture, that the wheat never yields less than forty bushels to the acre, anil 2") cents a bushel pays weli. Some authorities have figured out that China has ten times the available area for wheat culture that the Pacific Stales pos- 1 scsscs, and that the labor costs but j i quarter as much. Some, but probibly groundless, fears have been ex-1 Dressed that China may become the | formidable competitor of California ' Cure for Hon Cholera* Being a physician, I studied i carefully the nature of the disease,, irid caine to t!ie conclusion that calcmel possessed all the properties requisite to meet the disease ia all its forms. My mode of using it is t< to take about ten grains to each hog,, md mix it in a little chop feed or oran, and give it whenever you find pour hogs begin to cough, and re- I peat this every day for a week, and iiid at any time when you find them ! coughing, you can give one dose as ibovc. If your hog is past eating, catch it and give it twenty grains by | making it into a pill with a little flour, and, by means of a stick, put it down the swallow, and you need pay no more attention to it. I pre sent this as a perfect cure, and re-: commend all hog raisers to give it a ! fair and impartial trial. G.
