SOUTHERN PLANTER..
OWEVER the value of works devoted to tic
important science of Agriculture may hare
been appreciated in former times, the day has past
when it becomes necessary to enter into an elibo-
rate defence of the necessity and worth of iuch
publications, and all practical men are. now con
strained to admit the beneficial influence which they
exercise upon the agricultural industry of the c«un-
try, as well Tn the increased productions of labor as
in the general improvement of the soils. Impretsed
with these convictions, and the no less startling
truths which are daily developing to the mind of
every reflecting man, the necessity of diverting a
poition of that labor now employed in the produc
tion of our great staple, into other and more profita
ble employment; the growth of Bread-stuffs, Pro
visions, Stock of all kinds ; thereby rendering the
Southern section of the Union, less dependent for
all the articles of daily consumption, upon our Eas
tern and Western brethren, and affording a more
ample field for the improvement of our rapidly ex
hausting soils—The undersigned have been in
duced to undertake the publication of the SOUTH
ERN PLANTER, a work which will be exclusively
devoted to the cause of Southern Agriculture and
whatever pertains to the promotion of ,iu> or-icitCe,

through all the Mechanic Arts.
This brief sketch of the objects and designs of
the work, will doubtless commend it to the favora

cation, and to such, without further remark, we
make a direct appeal in its behalf, confident that the

that iiis father was watching over him.—
But that son wrote to Ins lather he was do

And the advice is good! No other erurso

once. Tampering with the enemy is only
courting destruction. But the obstacle is
yet lying in his way—the poor man tells
you of his fiery thirst. And can nothing
be done for bis assistance? How can he
cure this thirst? Water may allay it for
the moment; but the relief is only momen

confirmed, water only increases the horrid
burning.
Here, it we mistake not, is the hidden se

fast its slave. Water cannot quench his

it drowns his thirst for the time, is adding

there is. It is believed thatjjy substituting
a simple draught of milk, this alcoholic
thirst may be not only relieved, but cured.

“You know,” said he, “that a tnan in

“Very good,” replied the man from Pas

iqrs in his pocket; but after a season of ca
rousal with cards in one hand and a bottle
in the other, he soon found himself forty dol
lars in debt with only fifteen to pay. He
threw himself incog, mto a steamer for Pitts
burg, spending ten dollars on his passage,
so that when he arrived there he had but
five dollars. He soon drank it all and wan
dered in the streets of Pittsburg with no
money, no friends, no.home, in this emer
gency he went to a jeweller und sold his
watch for fifty dollars; but alcohol was his
muster and it soon robbed fiitn of twenty-
five of that. Waking up to some sense of
his debasement and wretchedness, and un
willing to be seen by the eye of any who had
ever known hint before, he resolved to find
his wav to New York and throw himself be
yond the seas. When he reached Philadel
phia he was reduced to his lust dollar, and
twenty-five cents of that he spent for drink.
How should he get to New York? The
lowest fare was three dollars. He started
on foot and when fie «cached Jersey City,
he had not a cent in his pocket. The wide
river lay between him und the object he had
in view. Once more he was reduced to rite
deepest humiliation. He asked the toll-man
\vh;it he could do to earn enough to pay his
ferriao-e. “Step,” said he. “into the coal-
Vard nnd shovel coal five minutes and you
may go over!” He did so—a man of public
education and reputable family. He enter
ed the city penniless, friendless, ar.d had he
a friend here, would he have called on him?
No. He wandered through the streets of
this "Teat c **y without a place to sit down,
and in his wandering passed by the good
Samaritan Benevoteut Temperance Society.
The name struck him forcibly. It seemed
to speak to him. It invtted him to enter.—
It promised to meet his wants. But he felt
that he should be disgraced by entering. A
vacant seat near the door allured him. He
took it. A reformed man was telling his
history, how from the depths of degradation
he ha<i risen by signing the .pledge to com
fort and respectability. If that man, said
he, could be reformed and saved, why can
not I be also ? I’ll sign the pledge. He
did so, and when asked to put down the
place of his residence he was sorely tempt
ed to falsify, and had. he done it, it might-
have proved his ruin ; but he was enabled
to speak the truth and say he had no resi
dence. This excited curiosity, and he was
While engaged in this work, he acquired
insensibly the habit of daily using intoxica
ting liquor, though only in moderate quan
tities. On returning to his family, he dis
covered that the habit had become more
firmly fixed than lie had ever supposed it
could be. The want of his “ moruiifg
dram, his noon-day toddy, and his evening
slimT,” rendered him uneasy. Wafer did
not satisfy him. His food had lost its relish.
Surprised and alarmed at the strength of
tfie habit that had thus grown upon him
unperceived, he saw fie was in danger, and
determined, fiow'ever importunate his thirst
might be, to resist it. Such was bis state,
wheu seeing a pitcher of milk on the table,
before setting down Het took a plentiful
draught; arid mark the result. His thirst
was slaked, and he enjoyed his breakfast
with a healthful relish. When the accus
tomed hour of 11 arrived, his thirst returned,
though With -a somewhat abated strength.
A draught of milk again removed it; and
in a few days the cure was completed.—
Rejoiced with the discovery, he communi
cated it*to others who desired to bieak the
bondage in which alcohol was enslaving
them. B The effect in every case, he assured
me, was similar to that which had g
him so much happiness in his own.
This testament of my fellow passenger
brought td my recollection another case
bearnto - upon the same point. 1 had a col
lege class-mate, disstpa.ed—notorious for
hil abandoned life. His evil courses be-
■canre known to the faculty, who, after em
ploying in vain every means ot reforming
him, were forced to proceed to thg last re
sort, and expel him from the institution
This man, on coming to the table alter his
night’s debauch, before partaking of food,
was accustomed to call for milk, and to
drink with eagerness the largest quantities
he could obtain. Having noticed tha al
most desperation with which he seized the
milk, l once inquired the cause. He ac
knowledged the dissipation in which lie had
indulged”the previous night, described the
lacuna thirst which he endured in -conse
quence, and said that milk was the only
thing that could extinguish that internal
fire, or excite an appetite for food.
The above suggestions 1 have been in
duced to make public, ill the hope of con
tributing some aid to Jhe glorious reforma
tion now in progress, among those who
have too long been passed by as lost beyond
recovery. We have at last discovered that

How to Make Money.
Let the business of everybody else alone,
and attend to your own. Don’t buy wliut
you don’t want. Use every hour to advatH
ta'Te, and study even to make even leisure
hours usefuL Think twice before you
throw away a dollar ; remember you will
have another to make for it. Find recrea
tion in looking after your business, and so
your business will irot be neglected in look
ing after recreation. Boy low, sell fair, and
take care of the profils. Look over your
books regularly, and if yon cnn.find an er
ror of a cent, trace it out. Should a stroke
of misfortune come upon you in trade, re
trench, work harder, but never “fly the
track.”. Confront difficulties with unfimeh-
jng perseverance, and they disappear at last.
Though you should even fail in the struggle,
you will be honored ; but, shrink from the
trace, aiid you will be despised. By foliow-
SUel> in<r these rules, however, you “need not say
faff.” Pay debts promptly, and so exact your
dues. Keep your word.
Compassion of a Judge.
A very learned and compassionate judge
in Texas, on passing sentence on one John
Jones, who had been convicted of murder,
concluded his remarks as follows:—“The
fact is, Jones, that the Court did not intend
lo order von to be executed before next
Spring, but the weather is very cold—our
jail, unfortunately, is in a very bad condi
tion—much of the glass in the windows is
broken—the chimneys are in such a dilapi
dated state that no fire can be made to ren
der your apartments comfortable, besides,
owing to the great number of prisoners, not
morqthan one blanket can be allowed to
each—to sleep soundly and comfortably,
therefore, will be out of the question. In
consideration of these circumstances, and
wishing to lessen your sufferings as much
as possible, the Court, in the exercise of Us
humanitv and compassion, do hereby order
vou to be executed to morrow morning, as
goon after breakfast as may be convenient
to thte Sheriff and agreeable to you.
