Farming on Shares.
This custom in the old cotton
holts of the South grew out of two
causes which, at the time, we saw
noway to avoid—first, from a want
of money to pay wages with, and
second! v, because the negroes had
been advised by tho Bureau Agents
not to farm in any other manner.
These, we say, were the two leading
onuses that led to it, and confirmed,
hr wo thought, by the belief that it
was really the best method of
curing the negro's work. Experi
ence, however, of a disastrous na
ture, has shown the error of the
plan, and the time has certainly
come when farmers and planters
must adopt a different system, even
if it should involve the necessity of
cultivating less ground. This cus
tom has practically resulted in the
negro becoming tho proprietor of
the crop; and all of us who wore ac
customed to the negro when a slave,
ond under good training and order,
know that it was seldom one could
be found, of sufficient knowledge
and force of character, to make
even a “Driver;” and but a small
proportion of those who had that
particular sort of executiveness
were at all calculated to say when
and how a crop should be pitched,
planted and worked, outside the
direction of the planter himself.—
Yet, in the face of this, we now
find them placing their entire plant
ing interest in the hands of one ne-
O
gro, whose only recommendation is
that he can command perhaps one
to six hands. The effect of which
is, that the proprietor has to bear
the brunt of tho ignorance or idle
ness of the entire number, instead
of one. The tenant or rent plan is
only the same thing under another
name, and, if possible, a plan con
taining more i isles. For while
working on the share plan, there is
some semblance of obedience to
proprietary authority, however
tenderly it is dared to be touched.
While the tenant plan at once sur
renders the entire control. Under
this last system the negro is sup
plied with a mule or mules, under
the appearance of sale, and sup
plies of all kinds advanced, with tho
only chance of reimbursement, de
pending on tho success oi the ne
gro in, to him, the new arts of
planting and proprietorship.
Sometimes this is attended by
partial success, but in tho very
large majority of instances, in fail*
>ure of crop—large indebtedness,
which he is unable to pay—tho
mule badly damaged, by ill use and
starvation, and. in most instances,
returned, and quite olten in the
abandonment of the crop before
gathering; this last being practical
ly’ done, by idleness and neglect.
Whenever the negro finds that bis
.indebtedness for vent, supplies and
■stock arc likely to exceed the value
of bis crop, he feels no more obliga
tion to continue work.
Our planters know these things
jiwt as well as we do, yet they seem
not to regard these severe lessons
of experience. llow to plant, with
the negro for the laborer, is the
question. Both question and an
swer are simple, but our planters
refuse to adopt them.
Employ them for money wages, a
certain portion payable at tho ex
piration of every month, the re
rnainder at the end of the year—
eitiier working them in large or
small numbers, as may be most
convenient, we preferring the small
numbers with a well chosen white
man to work in the lead, and to
act its a kind of foreman under the
proprietor. If, then, an idle hand
has been employed, he can at any
time be discharged with only a
prospective, but not an actual loss,
a3 is the ease when farming on
shares.
The fact which we have here
nrged upon the cotton planters are
of the most serious character, as is
shown in their pecuniary condition
and in the appearance of their
homes—for a share cropper, or a
tenant, always refuses to assist in
improving the place, having no fur
ther interest in it, he thinks, than
fer the passing year ; while with
hired hands a man keeps his stock
and cribs in his own hands, directs
•his own planting, and improves his
place as he sees proper. There are
■only a few of the facts involved,
bat sufficient to demonstrate the
truth of all we say, as proven by
the experience of every planter who
has tried either plan.—Rural Tex
an.
Kanssintli.v's tilapeiiient,
“ Yes,” ssid the old lady, as she
wiped her eyes and proceeded to
tell the sympathizing neighbor
about the elopement of her daugh
ter, “ Yes, Mrs. Blobhs, you may
well say it ar’ a dreadful stroke.—
I ain’t had such another shock
since that last spell o’ rheumatiz.
To think that a darter of mine
would do sech a disgraceful thing
after all the care an’ affection me
an’ her father have ravished on her
from her infancy up. I couldn’t
bear up under the affliction nohow
but fer the conserlation of religion.
Religion is powerful enervating in
sech trials as these.”
“Did you not suspicion that they
were contemplating such a move?”
asked the neighbor.
“No, we never suspicioned nary
contemplation. After I’d rnnned
tho coriceted upstart off the premi
ses with the mop, I didn’t think
he’d have the insurance to speak to
Samanthy agin. An’ she seemed to
appear so consigned that I never
respected her of having any under
hand contentions. But all the
time—so I’ve heerd sence—they
used to meet clandestinely, when I
thought Satnanthy was at meeting,
on’ decoct their plans to run off an’
elope. Well, Samanthy has made
her bed, an’ she’ll have to lay on
it. I wash my hands of tho on
grateful girl from this time forth
with.”
“Did you make any effort to in
tercept them?”
“No you see, we didn’t know it,
or else we’d ’a intercepted ’em with
in an inch ’o their lives.”
“ I mean did you try to have
them stopped when you found they
were gone?”
“Yes indeed. Father teloscoped
to five or six towns, an’ give their
prescription—cost him lots o’ mon
ey, too, but he said he wouldn’t
mind spenin’ the price of a cow to
git Samanthy back. But we never
heerd nothin’ from them, and I told
father to let ’em alone and they’d
come home after awhile with five or
six children behind ’em. But 1 tell
you, Mrs. Blobhs, they shan’t set
a foot in this house except over the
dead body of my defunct corpse.
You jest remember that.”

The graduating class at Old Vale, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and odd. had meeting
the day before they were to be made
into Bachelors of Arts; and at this
meeting it was agreed that each man
should announce his intentians as to
the profession he designed to pursue
Ten years afterward- they would meet
agaiu and compare the results with the
records
By that good fortune which helps
the lame and tho lazy, Jenkins had
made out to squeeze through the ex
amination—those designed to catch the
flats —and he was bound to go forth
with as proud a diploma ; s the. best of
his fellows. The President of the
meeting called on the students in al
phabetical order, aud each man gave
expression to his hopes and views. A
smilo rose on every face when he said ;
‘•And, Mr. Jenkins what do you
mean to be ?”
Jenkins bad an inveterate habit of
lisping, which gave additional drollery
to his reply, as lie answered :
“1 am goiu’ to be a ’Pithcopal uiin
ither.”
Ah, indeed; and why so. Mr. Jen
kius ?
“For three reathons :
“Iu tho firth plathc, Tithcopal min
isters alwaytk marry rich wives.’’
“In the thccond platbe, the prayers
are all written out.”
“And in the third plathe, the tlier*
moos ate very short, and them you cau
steal.”
There are three kinds of men iu this
world the “Will’s, the IV out's and
the Caut’s.” The former effect every
thing, the other oppose everythiug, and
the latter fail in everything. “1 will,’
builds our railroads and steamboats.
“I won’t,” don’t believe in “experiments
and nonsense;” while “I cau l.’ grows
weeds for wheat, and commonly ends
his days in the slow digestiou of a court
of bankruptcy.
It runs thusly :
She backed against the garden, while o’er
Her face the warm b'.ood rushes—
’Tis knowledge of ray love, thought I,
That starts the tell-tale blushes.
Then in her car I warmly sighed,
“In vu;u you have not trusted—”
“Get out, you fool,” die quick replied,
“I’m ’fraid my pull-back’s busted!’'
