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.” Asi flCas.y Brolrssiuu. 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!’' itaiiroiul Schedule. Arrival and Departure of Trains.
