Plant plenty of cotton, of course; it always brings Ibo money; and with it you will be enabled to pay for your guano?that valuable and indis pensable article, without which it would be very foolish for any man to try to make, a crop. It is more easily applied, and so much better than stable manure, and so little trouble 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 are too bulky, and require so much n.ore labor to app'y, that by many their use is utterly ignored, and the fashionable, cheap, valuable and concentrated guano has taken the plat e of the old-fashioned manures. Plant largely of cotton. It sounds big to 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 oaYulato how mu6h guano you can buy lor so much cotton, for by many this is the purpose 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 und neglect your corn crop, because if you make cotton you can purchase corn (on n credit, and meat, loo) but if you raise corn and a plenty of it, you will have fat horses, hit cattle, fat hogs, and money in baud, and then you will he deprived of the exquisite pleasure of asking for credit, and being some times refused. This luxury will have to he dispensed with. And do you not desire lids?of course not, for it is such a delightful feeling to owe your factors, to bo indebted to your merchants, tu know that almost every man you meet has your note in his pocket, past due, and to be button holed and dunned a dozen limes a cay; it adds so much to a man's popularity, it is so soothing to your ; nerves, so tranquilizing to your I whole system; gives you such an ex cellent appetite, and produces such quiet and refreshing slumbers, that you cannot ufiord to dispense with it. Being in debt is such a glorious feel ing, so conducive to healtha?d hap piness, that, you feel it tubs your duty to yourself, to your family, and to your friends, to owe, and to do this plant plenty of cotton, for it will be sure to keep .you in debt, and if (his will make you contented, you will be happy indeed. You can, in your leisure moments, sympathize, with your neighbor who has a smoke house full of bacon, of his own rais ing; acorn crib well filled with largo cars of the golden grain, who has plenty of money and is troubled about seeking a safe and secure in vestment for bis surplus. Go and see him; you can relieve him of his trouble; your plantation lies adjoin ing his, and as a friend, assist him in investing his money by borrowing it, and ^ive him a niortyngc on your place. What a satisfaction this wilt 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 nil your premises, and you be relieved cntiiely from the 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 lew bales of cotton, end was hardly known nut of his district; but you are a big planlor?you make your hund red bags, und nro known in Savan nah as a gentleman who is always in debt, whose colton crop never real izes a sufficient amount to pay your expenses for the current year. This is your reputation; do you enjoy it? If you do, plant largely of cotton. If you do not like the picture, change your course, and try to livo at home; make your plantation self-sustaining; plant corn, raise meat, and let your cotton crop be restricted to a surplus only, first raising everything else you need In preference to the snowy staple. When yon do this, then a change will come; you will soon bo your own master, and not be as you arc now, and as you have been for years?the slave of the cotton factor and the commission merchant. Take advice while there is time; profit by the admonition before it is too late, and plant more corn.? Sutuhiyeiifv j (t7?.) Messenger, The Fashion-. Jackets arc made long. Lace parasols are little us-jd. Street dresses arc to be worn short. Fashionable boots have round toes. Cream is the color for evening gloves. Kern colored lace is fashionable for curtains. Half hose will be worn again by little children. Fashionable gloves have three ami four buttons. Most of the spring hats are pro fusely I rimmed with llowers. F'inges with ucopnettcd headings will be used for trimming. White underskirts are made with deep embroidered llounccs. Pretty ties are of soft silk, with a delicate spray embroidered in each end. ?? .Evening gloves extend far up the arm, and have from six to twelve buttons. I The few bustles that are worn arc very small at the waist and quite largo below. Seal-br^wn, 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 buff. Black cashmere and ilrup iVeie sacques are mostly trimmed with tape fring and moss heading. The new high-necked eor.?et cover has a yoke of pulls aud insertion in the front, but is plain in the back. OvcVskirts arc cut long, reaching almost to the bottom of the under skirt, which has vety little trimming. Blue linen suits, embroidered in white or ecru, and gray tincn, em broidered in brown or black, are a&aiu 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 are mcdiumsi'/.ed sticks of ebuliy, mounted or inlaid with ivory, pearl, gold or si I vc, or perfectly plain. The Martha Washington hat or bonnet has a standing brim, which is bent in at the front, hack and two sides until it touches the crown. Leghorn hats fastened up one side with a hunch of field flowers, and a silk scarf tied loosely mound the crown, are among the new shade hats. Fashionable lidics have different pairs of colored stockings lor every suit, being very particular that the color should match that of the suit or its trimmings. Handsome sashes are of soft vitk. Those of blue or cardinal red aro 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 impossible to tell it is false, so perfect an imitation is it, and then it saves one's hair, which is always injured if frequently crimped. A pretty way of making the skirt of a dress is to have the front breadth and two side gores trimmed in any way that may suit the fancy, but tbe back breadth has no trimming, and is made into a large double box pleat or Watteau. A handsome wrapper is made of very light pearl-colored merino; the front is made of blue silk; the back has a Watteau pleat, bcinningat the neck, where is placed a long narrow ribbon bow; tho sleeves are of silk with merino cuffs, having at the outer seam 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 skirt so as to form a heading, which head ing is lined with blue silk; the edge of the llounccs baa two rows of knife pleated silk sewed on so as togivc the appearance of v. double rufilc. - ?^ . - ? Too Much Noise foh tue Size,? After :: iust ridiculousand extrava ?j .. pica by a young lawyer, in a trivial ens , mi older lawyer, who had a way ot s: ying quaint tin ngs, re run rk cd. . . 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: The colt brnker made his young son hide in the bush, while he himself v as to mount the animal and put him at his top speed I o the hiding place, and then the hoy was to rush sudden ly out and shout "Boo!" the ide:i being to prove how well the colt would stand the scars. Every thing was done, according to programme, but the result was alto gether too much of a scare for the colt, who kicked up his heels and put down his head and the old man was thrown over it far into the read on his head. Clearing 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 dreas the astonished young man down,shouting, "What did you do that for ? What diil you do that for ?" "Hut father," said the crying boy, ?'you told mc to holler "boo!" "Yes," ,.saiil the old man, "but, dang it, yt was altogether soo big a 'boo' for strstnall a colt." A Thoughtful Tailor.?A young man fVom one of the. suburban districts, say the Daubury Actes, was in (>ne of our tailor shops getting measured fur a vest the other after noon. "Married or single ?*''queried the merchant after taking dttwh the num ber. "Unmar; ied," said the young man, with, a blush. "Inside pocket on the left hand side, then," observed the tailor, as if to himself, making a momorandum 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?" "Ali, my dear sir," observed the tailor, with a bland .-mile, ' all differ ence possible, 03 you must see. Being unmarried you want the pocket on the left side, so as to bring the young lady's picture next to ycur heart." "lint don't the married man also want his wife's picture next to his heart.?" queried the anxious youlli. "Possibly there is an instance of that kiiM,'' .said the tailor, niching his eyebrows; "but I never heard of it." Indian Squaws ICkai>y to COM pete with tue RlKI e TlJAMS ok the Would.?(.'apt. McDonald, commander of the famous San Fran cisco cadets, has n camp at the foot of (he San Bruno Mountain in Cali fornia, and for several months has been training a company for Indians, including four squaws und live men, who represent as many diflbicnt tri bes. Cnpt. McDonald is wealthy and eccentric, and it is his intention that California shall exhibit in the great Centennial show so/no of the most wonderful of the wild inhabitants of Calilornia's forests. The Indians arc trained in a liglyning drill, in war dances, in the least of lire, in a ribbon dance, and in pytrinnslic feats, The squaws, Cnpt. McDonald thinks, will be able to compete with any team of marksmen in the world. At long range distance they havo done some extraordinary shooting. The lddiaus arc to be in Philadelphia in May. Their costumes are elaborate and costly. Science and Love in a Cjttage. "Thirty-five out of forty oftltfc young Indies who graduate at Vassar marry poor." These aro the words of a gossipping writer,penned in 1 boubt fill spirit, and they have been travel ing the rounds of tho press like a little wanderer until at last they have leached the threshold of Vassal* itself and brought forth tho following racy und elegant roply : "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 furniture by tho 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 freshman mathematics. I shall make use. of thy physiology in dissecting* any cats that may be found prowling in my pantry. When my husband comes home from his daily toil hewillbiing 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 the 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 V??.SESwAI lot.'ED EY A BOY.? A curious and very singular accident happened to a son of James O'llelan, who resides on Saratoga street, Cohoes, N; Y. It seems 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 were all in bed, and consequently the bouse was perfectly still. Suddenly a startling cry came from the child, which aroused the father, who made a rush for the boy and asked him what was the matter. The boy clasp ed his father in his arms, and with starting eyes exclaimed, "Father, I s wal l od a mouse, and I feel him biting me inside !" In an instant the father bad the house aroused, and a mess enger was scut for 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 creature 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 he remained alive in the boy's stomach is a mystery. Benjamin Willis ami his two sisters were equally detenu.tied on Ihe ques tion of his marrying?he that he would, and they that he shouldn't. This was in Bangor, 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 ?nstrated hissounduess of mind and he was liberated. The arc 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 slore for tho little folks. Paterfamilias must take the first ten cent piece that comes 10 him in trade, and carry it to his little blue-eyed darling, and exp'ain to her tho 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 rpun herself a sot of body, table and bed linon. From this custom all unmarried womeu wero termed spinsters.
