The Misses Roliin were accompa
nied by white Senator, McIntyre,
of? Colleton,- who is the fiance of
Mjss Charlotte Corday Roliin.—
The Senator, who is a very small
man, was attired in a full evening
dress of black, and in his button
hole bloomed a rosebud which bad
been plucked by Miss Lottie. The
Senator was decidedly the most
graceful dancer on the floor, anp
won unbounded admiration by the
skill with which he executed some
of the.most difficult pas sculs. The
Misses Roliin, of course, attracted
more attention than any other la
dies in the room. Being the lead
ers of the colored ton, and the
moulders of fashion among thet&fe
of the city, this is not to be won
dered at. They were dressed most
elegantly. * * *

It seems that at about 12 o’clock,
Maj. Samuel Dickson, of the South
Carolina National Qnard, who as
should have mentioned before, was
at the ball in his gorgeous uniform,
went into the supper-room for the
purpose of getting something to eat.
The Mftj. bad danced nearly all the
evening, and felt quite hungry,
looked over the table and saw
nothing. The table had been strip?
ped quite bare. The Maj. was
about turning away when he saw
a napkin, and was rejoiced to find
that it covered a plate upon which
lay a pig’s pickled foot.
The Major’s eye glistened ,as
fell upon the prize, and at once ap
propriated it The Maj. had taken
but two or three bites when Sena
tor McIntyre entered the room
having upon his arm the young
and beautiful Miss Lottie Rolliu,
whom he is-engaged to be married
They advanced to the table. The
Senator looked around somewhat
puzzled. He raised nearly every
napkin on the table, and seemed
much chagrined. He finally re
turned to Miss Roliin. and whisper
ed in a low tone.
•’ My dear, I had it and saved it
for you. I had put it on a plate,
and covered it up with a napkin.
I wonder who could have taken it?”
Just then the Senator spotted the
Major in the corner, eating a pig’s
pickled foot. He looked at the
Major very hard. The Mt^jor show
ed no concern whatever. He quiet
ly munched away on
THIS pig’s PICKLED FOOT.
The Senator approached and
said:
“ Major, did yon get that from
under a napkin on the table?”
The Major—“I did, sab,” (bow*,
ing profundly.)
The Senator—** Well, I had
placed it there for a young lady."
The Mtqor (with a straight look)
“ J am sorry, sab; but I have

complished, the stenographer le
arned to New York to write out
in full and dispatch the answers to
correspondents, and the banker was
joined by a second, to whom he
dictated during the remainder of
the trip. But a few years ago, this
now millionaire, whose name is fa
miliar to every one, was a poor
farmer’s boy.' . He began life with
no rich or influential friends to aid
him, but was wholly dependent
upon his own exertions. He, how
ever, possessed a stoat heart and a
resolute purpose, and determined
to improve every moment. The in
cident we have recorded above was
a result of this determination ad
hered to, and reveals the secret of
his great success. Though he has
hundreds of subordinates to do his
bidding, and could devote himself
wholly to ease and enjoyment, be
yet labors constantly, ‘fioFpelrmit-
ting even hours of travel to pass
unimproved. And what is true of
this individual, will be found to be
true of all successful self-made man.
They have begun their careers with
a keen realization of the importance
of time, and of the necessity of
making every moment tell, if they
would achieve prosperity and emi
nence. Those who wait upon luck,
or a stroke of good fortune, to car
ry them forward, will never make
progress, however great may be
their abilities. “ The Creator gives
brains,” declared Montesquieu, “bat
he does not guarantee them.”
• There is .a story’ told of a land
holder, who, unable to make a liv
ing from his farm, and steadily run
ning behindhand, leased half of it
to a peasant for a period of years.
At the end of the time, the tenant
came to him with an offer to pur
chase. Greatly ‘ surprised, the
owner replied; “ This is exceed
ingly strange; pray tell me bow it
happens that, while I could not live
upon twioe as much land, for which
I paid no rent, you are regularly
paying me two hundred a year for
your farm, and ace able in a few
years to purchase it." The peasant
replied: “ The reason is plain—you
sat still, and said, go; I got up, and
said, come; you lay in bed and en
joyed your estate; I rose iu the
morning, and minded my business.”
There is very much sound sense in
this homely response. While the
great mass of humanity take the
world easy, and wonder at the same
time why more.“grist does not
come to their mill," a few are at
work early .amUiotri^ improving
every moment, and tfiey dUSftawly
aohieve financial eucoesa.
The same is true of those engaged
in other than strictly business pur
suits. No matter what may be
their surroundings, their advantages
or disadvantages of birth, they are
the successful men who look upon,
time as precious, and permit no <?dd
moments to go to waste. Efihu
Burritt, while pursuing the avoca
tion of a blacksmith, mastered eigh
teen languages and twenty-two
European dialects. Hale wrote his
Contemplations while traveling on

that one of his friends, an eminent
gentleman of London, learned Latin
and French while ** running bun

translated “Lucretius” while riding
about the streets of.London on pro

—Having oonsidered cotton, as to
fertilising^ preparing, the ground
aud planting the seed, we come
now to the yeiy important work of
cultivation. We often hear it said
that a crop wel} planted is half
made. But we do not subscribe to
this doctrine, W more than to
many otk£?„fftef9: pgr,,, neighbors.
Cjertainly very, much - depends on
gobd preparation, but yery Eiudty
also on good, skillful cultivation-
cultivation based on science, cr the
knowledge we have of the laws of
nature, and their application, as
taught by reason and experience.—
That is my definition of strfehce. • 1
What is the design of cultiva
tion? The common answer ij, to
kill grass and weeds. This is one
main design certainly, but does not
include the whole iptention, for we
may so cultivate as to kill grass and
kill the crop at the same operation,
or materially injure it. Wc do nut
usually cultivate wheat here, as in
Europe, by scarifying and weeding,
because we are not accustomed to
it, because labor is too high, and
because the crop is matured before
weeds seriously interfere. Bat
drilled wheat, scarified in the spring,
will be benefited by the aeration of
the soil, not to say anything oi the
destruction of weeds, and the ac
cumulation of nitrogen in the stirred
and shaded soil.
But we cultivate our summer
crops with plow and hoe, not only
to destroy weeds and grass, but to
keep the surface mellow and per
meable to heat, light and moisture,
and the fertilizing gases of the at-
mosphere, to check too rapid evap
oration, and to induce water from
below, with its fertilizing salts, to
rise by capilliary attraction to the
