It is easy to induce men to buy on time that which they would not buy i( it had to lie paid for on the spot. When cash is to lie paid, men think once, twice nid three times before investing: lint when on time, they don’t think at all l ut buy on a vague hope that it will come out all right in tlic wind-up. Sharpers, well knowing human weakness in this res pect. bait a sharp hook with n credit bait and dangle it temptingly before the eyes, and tlie foolish man is caught, and like the fish drawn from liis proper element and sent whirling through the air. The good book tells us to give to the needy and lend to hint who would borrow of 11s. but nowhere enjoins upon us to sell on a credit to him wlm would buy of us. How may we avoid further disasters and remedy tlie evils of our poverty? By re stricting operations to where we can stand mi our own bottom—h,v ri moving tlie false bottom of credit and chance, on which we now stand, and replacing a sound bottom of bread and meat and milk and butter. Take the poor, sterile, unproductive lands out of the hands of the negro, and turn them over to the hogs and cows and volts and sheep. Let the big corn crib, well lillcd, he the pivotal point in all your farm ing operations, l’ut the plow into such land only as will lie sure to give a generous yield. As to what is tlie most economical way to make so much of your land as you do cultivate generously productive what you will put on it. and how much, and when, is. while vastly important, a sepa rate question. Hut this 1 will say here, if you needs must buy fertilizers, don't buy recklessly and at random just because you can buy on a credit, and when bought, don't put into tlie hands of careless negroes to in sparse ly scattered on old. poor land, hoping to ret fat crops from such a scanty feeding.

Address box O. [ Rev. Mr. Culpepper is assisting Mr. Mc Gregor in conducting a revival here at the ! Methodist church. He preached an excel lent sermon on personal prayer last night that highly entertained and instructed his congregation—it was so different from tlie ordinary line of sermons, it was light and trivial, then grave and severe; it was fan ciful, then profound; it was jocular, there by causing a quiet ripple of laughter; then turned into the grave consider ation of the eternal hereafter, causing a silence that could be felt. He will con tinue the discussion of the same text to day, and the merchants have agreed to close their stores and come out to hear the young evangelist. Hamilton offers a fine field for evangelical labor. For there be here material which by proper mechanism can be turned from an ugly unshapely mass here into a pillar of beauty and use fulness for for the kingdom above. We note with pleasure the great en thusiasm with which the nomination of Mr. Grimes tor congress was received in your city. The people here feel a great interest in Mr. Grimes' welfare and rejoice .11 common with his friends in Muscogee. And may ills course be ever onward and upward and true to the line. Harris county possesses within her bounds a great many curiosities ol' a natural character, to say nothing of her human curiosities.
