Jy Plant Cotton. Plant plenty of cotton, of course; it always brings tbo money; and with it you will be enabled to pay for your guano?tfcat valuable and indis pensable article, Without which it would be very foolish for any man Jo try to ciako a crop. It is more easily applied, aud so much better than stable manure, and so little troublo to procure. A ride to town or to the depot, and the simple signing of your name to a slip of paper will be the means of obtaining for you all you may desire. Stable manure and cot* ton seed arc too bulky, and require so much li.ore labor to app'y, that by many their use is utterly ignored, und the fashionable, cheap, valuable and concentrated guano has taken the place of the old-fashioned manures. Plant largely of cotton. It sounds big 10 talk about your crop of cotton. It serves to make you interested in the money market and the price of the staple both in this country and in Europe. It. seems to quicken the perceptive faculties, and cause you to j ea'culato how muCh guano you can buy lor so much cotton, for by many this is the purposo for which it is raised; or, if not, it is the only pur pose to which the money received lor it can be applied. Plant largely of cotton and neglect 3-our c orn crop, because if yon make c otton you can purchase corn (on a credit, and meat, too) but if you raise corn und a plenty of it, you will have hit horses, fat cattle, fat hogs, aud money in hand, and then you will be deprived of the exquisite pleasure of asking for credit, aud being some times refused. This luxury will have to be dispensed with. And do you not d Cid re this?of course not, for it t" . . ? . is stub a dengl)tful feeling to owe your factors, to be indebted to your j merchants, to know that almost every man you meet bus your note in his pocket, past due, and to be but ton holed and dunned a dozen times a r.'ny; it adds so much J.o a man's popularity, it is so soothing to your i nerves, so tranquilizing to your whole system; gives jou such au ex cellent appetite, and produces such quiet and refreshing slumbers, that you cannot allbrd to dispense with it. Heing in debt is such a glorious feel ing, so conducive to health and hap piness, that you feel it tob; your duty to yourself, to your family, aud to your friends, to owe, and to do this plant plenty of cotton, for it will he sure to keep you in debt, and if this will make you contented, you will be happy indeed. You can, in j your leisure moments, sympathize i with your neighbor who has a smoke house full of bacon, of his own rais ing; a corn crib well filled with largo cars of the golden grain, who has plenty of money and U troubled about seeking a sale and secure in vestment for his surplus. Go and see him; you can relieve him of his troublo; your plantation lies adjoin ing his, and as a friend, assist him in investing his money by borrowing it, and give him a mortgage on your place. What a satisfaction this will be to you, to know you have done your neighbor good, and to know that in a few years he will have con trol of all your premises, and you be relieved entirely from tbo cares and responsibilities of ownership. What a joke it will be to tell how you have succeeded In making your neighbor with his corn and his meat pay the taxes now, formerly paid by you. Put then he deserves to be punished in this way, because he never was much of a planter; ho only made a few bales of cotton, and was hardly known out of his district; but you are a big planter?you make your hund red bags, and are known in Savan nah as a gentleman who is always in debt, whose cotton crop never real izes a sufficient amount to pay your I expenses for the current year. This is your reputation; do you enjoy it? If you do, plant largely ot cotton. If I you do not like the picture, change your course, aud try to live at home; make your plantation self-sustaining; plant corn, raise meat, and let your cotton crop be restricted to n surplus only, first raising; everything else you need 111 preference to the snowy staple. When you do this, then a change will cotne; you will soon bo your own master, and not be as you are now, and as you have been lor years?the slave of the cotton factor and the commission merchant. Take ndvice while there is time; profit by the admonition before it is too late, and plant more corn.?&Ve?<rWwiYA! ? ( Get.) Messenger. The FasMonr. Jackets are made long. Lace pnrasols aro little usod. Street dresses are to be worn short. Fashionable hoots have round toes. Cream is the color for evening gloves. Ecru colored lace is fashionable for curtains. Half-hose will bo worn again by little children. Fashionable gloves have three and four buttons. Most of the spring hats are pro fusely trimmed with flowers. F'inges with uoepnetted headings will be used for trimming. White underskirts are made with deep embroidered flounces. Pretty ties are of'soft silk, with a delicate spray embroidered in ench end. ?> .Evening gloves extend far up the arm, and have from six to twelve buttons. The few bustles that are worn are very small at the waist and quite large below. Seal-brown, undressed kid gloves are in demand for travelling and shopping costumes. Brown is the fashionable color for gloves; it is seen in all shades, from seal to pale bull". j Black cashmere and tlmp tVeie sacques are mostly trimmed with tape I ring and moss heading. The new high-necked corset cover has it yoke of pulls nud insertion in the front, but is plain in the back. Overikirts are cut long, reaching almost to the bottom of the under skirt, which has vcty little trimming. Blue linen suits, embroidered in white or ecru, a nil gray tinen, em broidered in brown or black, are n^uin fashionable Braids of silk or wool, plain black or mixed with gold, silver or steel thread, are used for-trimmings of silk and damask suits. Handles of new parasols arc mcdiumsi'/.cd sticks of ebony, mounted or inlaid with ivory, pearl, gold or silve?*, or perfectly plain. The Martha Washington hat or bonnet has a standing brim, which is bent in at the front, back and two sides until it touches the crown. Leghorn hats fastened up one side with a bunch of field flowers, and a silk scarf tied loosely mound the crown, are among the new shade hats. Fu.-hionnblc lidies have differ cut pail's of colored stockings for every suit, being very particular that the color should match that of the suit or its trimmings. Handsome sashes are of soft sitk. Those of blue or cardinal red uro bro caded in silver; those of white or black in gray, and those of pink and cherry in gold. The false front of hair, with invis ible hair net, is much in vogue. It is J impossible to tell it is false, so perfect an imitation is it, and then it saves one's hair, which is always injured if I frequently crimped. A pretty way of making the skirt of a dress is to have the front breadth and two side gorts trimmed in any way that may suit the fancy, but the back breadth has no trimming, and ia made into a large double box pleat or Watteau. A hnndsomo wrapper is made of very light pearl-colored merino; the front is made of blue silk; the back has a Watteau pleat, beinningat the neck, where is placed a long barrow ribbon bow; the sleeves are of silk with mcriuo cuff's, having at the outer j eenm a double box pleat of blue silk, fastened with a band of merino. The bottom of the wrapper has a flounce of the merino gathered on to the ski rc so as to form a heading, which head ing is lined with blue silk; the edge of tho flounces has two rows of knife pleated silk sowed on so-as togivc the appearance of e. double rulllc. Too Much Noise fo?* the Pi/.e.? After :> :ost ridiculous and extrava <.? . . p|< :i by a young lawyer, in a trivial ens , tin older lawyer, who had a why bl skying quaint things, re marked. . opening the opposing side of the. case, that this young friend's elaborate plea reminded him of the experience of a neighbor of his who was once engaged in breaking a colt, and the story he told o*' it was in substance like this: Tbc colt hrakcr made his young son hide in the bush, while he himself v as to mount the animal and put him at bis top speed i o the hiding place, and then the boy was to rush sudden ly out and shout "Boo!" tho idea being to prove how well the colt would stand the scars. Everything was done according to programme, hut the result was alto gether too much of a scare for the colt, who kicked up bis heels and put down his head and the old man was thrown over it far into the road on . his head. (.'learing the dust from his loosened teeth he made for the boy with the switch he had cut to drive the colt, and with rage began to dress the astonished young man down,shouting, "What did you do that for ? What did you do that for ?" "But father," said the crying boy, ''you told me to holler "boo !" "Yes," j.said the old man, "but, dang it, ;;it was altogether soo big a 'boo' for si)*small a colt." A Thoughtful Tailor.?A young man from one of the. suburban districts, say tho Danbury Acre?, was in one of our tailor shops getting iheasuryd for a vest the other after noon. "Married or single ?"' 'queried the merchant after taking down the num ber. "Unman ied," said the young man, with a blush. "Inside pocket on the left hand side, then," observed tho tailor, as if to himself, making a moiuorandum to that effect. After a moment's pause the young man from the country was prompted to ask : "What difference docs my being married or unmarried make with the. inside pocket of my vest?" "/*h, my dear sir," observed the tailor, with a bland smile, * all differ ence possible, as you must see. Being unmarried you want the pocket on the left side, so as to bring Ihn y!::;g lady's picture next to your heart." "But don't the married man also want his wife's picture next to his heart?'; queried the i'?xi?tis youth. "Possibly there is an instance of that kiinl,'' said the tailor, arching his eyebrows, "but I never heard of it." Indian Squaws Ueauy to Com pete with the Rrri k Teams or the Would.?(.'apt. McDonald; commander of the famous Snn Fran cisco endcts, has a camp at the foot id' the San Bruno Mountain in Cali fornia, and for several months has been training a company for Indians, including four squaws and five men, who represent as many diffoicnt tri bes. Copt. McDonald id wealthy and eccentric, and it is his intention that California sludl exhibit in tho great Centennial show some of the most wonderful of tho wild inhabitants of California's forests. The Indians arc ?rained in a ligl^uiin/jr drill, in war dances, in the feast of lire, in a ribbon dance, and in gymnastic feats, The squaws, Capt. McDonald thinks, will be able to compete with any team of marksmen in the world. At long range distance they have done some extraordinary shooting. The Iddians arc to be in Philadelphia in May. Their costumes are elaborate and costly. Science and Love in a Cjttage. "Thirty-five out of forty oftlffc young indies who graduate at Vassur marry poor." These arc the words of a gossipping writer,penned in a boubt ftit spirit, and they have been travel ing the rounds of tho press like a little wanderer until at last they have reached the threshold of Vassur itself and brought forth the following racy and elegant reply : "I cxpet to mar ry as poor as a church mouse, ami though I have but one room I shall have nothing but French, German and Latin spoken. I shall arrange my fund lure by the figures of geome try, and do my cooking by the for mulas of chemistry. My husband may receive an annual income of but sixty dollars; if so, I shall keep all his accounts by the rules of fresh mail mathematics; I shall make use of my physiology in dissecting* any cats that may be found prowling in my pantry; When my husband comes home from his daily toil hcwillbiing me some beautiful flowers, and I shall analyze them with au accuracy that will swell his affectionate heart with pride. Then in the evening we shall sit by our only window and I will point out and explain the constella tions, and his tired sou! shall rest in Ihc moonshine of my love, and who shall say that my education at Vassar has not brought comfort and happi ness to our humble home!" A Mouse Swai lot;go ey a Boy.? A curious and very singular accident happened to a son of James OTIelan, who resides en Saratoga street, Cohoes, N; Y. It scorns that Willie, the youngest child, a bright boy of twelve or fifteen years of age, laid down in the corner of the kitchen, and being tired out from play, was soon fast asleep. The fasher was reading at a table placed in the cen tre of the room, the rest of the family wore all in bed, and consequently the house was perfectly still. Suddenly a startling cry came from the child; which aroused the father, who made a rush for tho boy and asked him what was the matter. The boy clasp ed his father in his arms, and with starting eyes exclaimed, "Father, I swalled a mouse, and I feel him biting me inside!" In an instant the father had the house aroused, and a mess enger was sent fur a doctor, who soon arrived and administered an emetic, which had the desired effect, and the boy, after some terrible retching, threw up the mouse, and, strange to relate, the creaturo was alive and active, and made his escape to a hole in the floor. It appears that while the child slept he had his mouth open, and the mouse, which was a very ?small one, got frightened by a mus cular action of the child, jumped into his mouth and down his throat; but how lie remained alive in the boy's stomach is a mystery. ? ???mm, . - . .ii 11 i . ? i - - Benjamin Willis and his two sisters were equally determined on the ques tion of hU marrying?he that he would, and they that he shouldn't. This was in Ban gor, which city is greatly excited by the row in the Willis family, which is wealthy. Benjamin got married, and while in Portland on the bridal trip, the sis ters had him arrested as a lunatic. A medical examination, however, de in mstrated hissouuducss of mind and he was lib."rated. - mm ? m*'t The are thousands of children in this country who have never seen a silver ten cent piece or silver quarter. What a very interesting kindergarten lesson there is now in store for the little folks. Paterfamilias must take the first ten cent piece that comes to him in trade, and carry it to his little blue-eyed darling, and exp'ain to her the name of the coin, its value, and teach her its commercial usese by sending her to invest it in sugarplums. Formerly it was a maxim that a young woman - should never be mar ried until she had ?pun herself a sot of body, tahlo and bed linen. From this custom all unmarried women were termed spinsters. It was iu a New Jcrsoy.?imduy school. The Superintendent nppr? ached a youth of color who was pre sent for the first time, and inquired his name for the purpose of placing it on the roll. The good man tried in vain to preserve his dignity when tho answer was returned, "Well, uiassa calls me Captain, hut my maiden name is Moses." 7 The London Times will scud a Walter press to the Centennial Ex hibition upon which it is printed, this press having been built expressly for the exhibition, with all the latest impeovemenfs. That historic puzzle, tho mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask, is to bo unveiled by August Reise, a German.' The just completed 'ceiisus of Philadelphia gives the population of that city at 817,448.
