Cotton Seed. #„(potton seed, which the planters are sepd thg in such io market, contain tfee life of the'soil ; the lint abstracts but lit tte nutriment frpiq the land, in comparison While seed.' tYlow planters reflect that they are robing tiiemselv’cs and their heirs and as signs by sending their cotton seed to mar fet, instead bAeturning them to the soil as ®pnure. *VVe are literally selling the fat of the land, in parting with the cotton seed as we do. The oil, when expressed, goes to the soap maker and into a hundred other uses; the oil ®a|e chiefly to England and’ BCoflanA, to fatten British cattle- and make richer the well tilled British soil; while the best parfof the seed is totally lost for any farm use ; this the hull, so very rich in phosphates. The hulls of cotton seed, which are tapped # in the south, as most of them arc, are led to milch cows in cities or arc used as fuel. We trust the day will soon come when, if cotton seed must be used for oil making, that they will be worked up near the cot tpn ■fifclds/spAha.t the punier will receive back tne oifcAKe and tile Iftilfa, to be fed to his own beeves, cows and work stock, and returned as manure to his soil. The granges should take up the subject and se« Itosrt’dicirccAUon lands are not rob bed as they now are. A cotton seed oil manufactory is not a very costly establishment, and every neigh borhood should haye one. To all appear awjejfathqy are as profitable as tanyards, whisky mills, or state offices. One of the chief duties of the grange is not only to promote the cultivation of the soil, but to stimulate and educate the culti vators. ' Improvement of farm and farmers is the motto. We can no longer calculate on wearing out lands and the moving west. The west has disappeared in the land of grasshoppers and mountain deserts. No farmers of the vyorld have such mate rials to make ample manure of the richest quality as have the cotton planters. They can, if they will, build oil establishment in thtu’ neighborhoods, and get back the oil cake find hulls';' not only have less corn lo raise, but they will have manure heaps that .will surpass any of the commercial fer tilizers and their lands may be made more fertile each year.—[Co-operative News. How to Make Rag Carpets. ♦ffyftu WanUsamething for your kitchen floor, warm and durable, from spots which can be easily removed, which can be shaken turned, and be as good as new again for several years, use rag carpets. They can be obtained of carpet dealers at from sixty cents to one dollar a yard; but often n smoother and handsomer article can be made‘at home, at least ready for the loom. For this purpose save the old clothes —old flannel, sheets, and under garments, old dresses—in fact, everything which will make long strips. Old clothes of good col ors are doubly vainable. Calicos not too much worn arc excellent material. Cut into strip ; aboutjui .incjli wide, sew end to end and wind smoothly into balls of about one pound weight. Allow from one and one-fourth to one and one-half pounds of rags to a square yard of carpeting. Collect all odd pieces of any color for the mosaic or hit-and-miss stripes. Cut and mix these thoroughly before sewing, so as to make this stripe as uniform aS possible. A few pound.s otremnnnis Jrom a woolen factory, or sifft fislihgX of any needed color, make a fine stripe*, and require little sewing. Do not put too much black into a kitchen car pet, as it is not a strong color and shows the dust more than other colors. A stripe ot several shades of nd brightens up a carpet wonderfully—and who objects to a little brigtness in Mcih White woolen rags take a nice cochineal red, white cotton a durable green from fustic and logwood set with blue vitriol. A cinnamon color may be dyed with copperas. Select a coarse strong warp of some dark color— brown and slate colors arc good—a’lowing ons flrarins4i:d»'of ettr|frtihg. Keep the exact wet ht of rags and warp to compare with weight of carpet when returned, and em ploy a good weaver. Many prefer a kiteh en carpet put down with rings, as it can thus be easily taken up and shaken. Test of Courage.

The world should encourage , true courage, and give it the place it de- 1 serves. Until it does so, we may not be surprised if mountebanks usurp many po sitions, and need not complain because of the recklessness of coarse and brutal men, and the insecurity of life, or that thieves, liars and murderers greatly abound. Too True. An exchange says we are fast becoming a nation of schemers to live without work. Our boys are not learning trades, our farmers’ sons arc crowding into the cities, looking for clerkships and places in post offices; hardly one American girl in a thousand will do housework for wages, however urgent the need. So we are send ing to Europe for workmen and buying of her artisans millions of dollars worth that we ought to make ourselves. Though our crop of rascals is heavy, we do not grow 7 our own hemp; though we are overrun with lads that need flagella tion, we import our willows. Our women (unless deceived) wear Euro pean fabrics; our men dress in foreign clothes; the toys that amuse our young children have reached us from over the sea. Hence it is that we plunge ourselves deeper and deeper into debt to the old world. We arc like the farmer -who hire? his neighbor’s sons to cut his wood, feed bis stock, and run his errands, while his sons lounge’at the grog shops and play billiards, and then wonders why, in spite of his ef forts, he sinks into debt, till the sheriff cleans him out, and he starts west to begin again. We must turn over a new leaf. Our boysand girls must be taught to la bor by learning to do it efficiently. We must turn out fewer professional and more artisans as well as food growers. We must grow and fabricate two mill ions per annum that w'e import, and reduce the foreign debt that we have successfully augmented, year by year. We must qualify our b >ys to erect and run factories, rolling mills, tanneries, ma chine shops, etc.; to open and work mines, fashion and improve implements, and double the present produce of their father’ farms. So shall wc stem the tide of debt that sets steadily against our shores and cease to ’ be visited and annoyed by hard tiims. A private gentleman of France, Mon sicui de la Bastie, has invented a process for toughening gliss, which, instead ofinjuring its qualities in any respect, ren lers it al most as tough and clastic as steel. Pieces ofglass thus toughened have been subject to tests that are really astonishing. For instance, a piece of glass five inches wide and six inches long was placed between two beams and a stirrup suspended from the center, and weights were gradually hung on this stirrup, until 1,376 pounds were suspended before the glass broke; and. what is more remarkable, the glass deflected from a horizontal v< ry considerably, before giving away. Another test was made by placing a piece in a sash ami dropping weights of three pounds on it, at a distance of four feet, without in iking any impression. The process consists of subjecting the glass, when under great heat, to a bath of oil, wax and resinous matters. The invention has been sufficiently tested to prove it an entire success, and we may look to see a great revolution in the u-e of glass. The Famil y Day. —“ Talk of‘family ties’ and ‘family love,’ and ‘family gathering.’ where would they be if it were not for a ‘family day ?' ” said a working man. “What do you mean ?” I asked. “I mean,” he replied "that the Lord’s day is the ‘family day.’ Why, I and thousands of working men would hardly know our own children, if it were not for that blessed .day which blings us all together. Wc arc ' off in the morning before the little ones are up, and when we get home at night they are mostly gone to bed, or they are tired, and so are we, and it’s not very much we ran see of each other at the fag end of the week ; but when that best day comes, that’s nil our own. Then we can gather round the table or fireside apd talk to one another ! and thank Him that He has given nsone day in seven as a holy, blessed 'family day—[Evangelist. Onck upon a time s inn-body wondered ' at what he called the “ tendency of great liirn to die without leaving heirs ot th< ir I iuou to succeed them.” Shakipeaie, Mil ton, Spcnctr, Pope, .lobu-on, Addison, Cowper, Byron, and a great many other , illustrious and distinguished men illustrate I this point. The oil tr day the last of the i favours shared the common doom. Ur was the Marq tis Aimar I of Cavour, nephew of the great Italian patriot, an I the last di rect male member of the family. The heritage ol Count de C tvour, the uncle, i joined to that of his brother, the Marquis, did not exceed $1,200,(MM) in capital mine, and five sixth of it has bevn faqucatheil to :he Hospital of Charity at Turin. A few , legacies go to the testator's sister and her two daitgit.ers. No male Cavour rem&ms.

I desire to call the attention of all those who owe me anything, that iheir accounts and notes are now due, and that I am compelled to have money. We have been bless ed with bountiful crops, and all can pay who are so disposed, as I will take corn, fodder, wheat, oats, rye, cotton, peas, potatoes, pork, and almost everything, in payment of debts due me. So 1 hope my old friends and customers will re spond liberally to this call, for by so doing they will save cost and their good name at the same time. I mean business, when I say that I am compelled to have money. All those who are indebted to the firm of McAfee & Moss must pay ih«ir accounts and notes at once. Those failing to do so, or to make satis factory arrangements, will certainly find their accounts in the hands of collecting officers. I want to purchase 10,000 bun dles of fodder and 1,000 bushels of corn, for which I will pay goods er cash to those not indebted to me. I have now got, and am receiv ing daily, one of the largest and best selected stocks of goods ever exhibited in North Georgia, which I propose to sell very cheap for cash or barter. I am determined to sell as low as the lowest, as my experience in business and facili ties for buying arc not excelled by any in this country.
