Our farmers talk of resting their lands by
sowing them down with small grain. The
English farmer would ask, “If you call that
rest, pray, what do you call work 1” The se
verest crop to which he submits his land, is a
crop of small grain, alwnys manured and nev
er followed by another small grain crop until
an ameliorating crop has intervened. The
lands of .England were once exhausted and
comparatively valueless. It is by a system
which annually improves them, that they have
attained their present enormous value. The
adoption of an improving system gives to lan
ded property an advantage, which few other
kinds of property possess. A share in a bank
or Hail Hoau, costing 9100 inay occasionally
run up a few dollars above par, while it con
tinues to pay the owner a fair dividend. A
E iecc of ground, originally costing 9100, may.

management is general and has given to lan

good interest, increase in saleable value, and
perhaps, in a few years sell for enough to bay

which was originally its equal in value.

generally hold largo tracts of land. Much of
l his,.as we have seen, is annually idle and unpro
ductive. In the cultivation of that portion in
use, we use less land and marc labor, perhaps,
than any other intelligent agricultural popu
lation, whatever. The average of labor,
(steady labor) on a European farm in high
culture, will perhaps not exceed two hands to
the hundred acres. This will include pasture,

There is no dead capital in the case.
In the Northern States of this country, the
average of labor to the number of productive
acres, is perhaps still less. It may be of in
tcreat to offer a few instances taken from the
transactions of the N. Y. Agricultural Socie
ty, the details of which were given under oath.
These instances will show that at the South
we have no practical idea of the amount of in
come. which may he derived from a given
number of acres of land with a small amount
of labor.
J- V. Grove's farm, 234 acres, of which 37
are woods. Gross sales ®G,733,89 cts.;
mount paid for labor, besides the farmer's own
labor, 9520 15 cts.—at the usual rate of wa
ges, this would about pay three bands, yet
there are cash sales of nearly 97000. ■
J. Westfall's farm 202 acres. Gross sales,
94,1*73,44. Paid for labor. $GG3. This in
eludes the labor of the farmer at 920 per
month, and all the labor expended in improve
ments, manuring, &c.
W. Holmes' farm, 185 acres. Gross re
ccipts 90,720. Paid for labor, 9650, inclnd
ing labor of the farmer—equal to between
three and four hands.
L. D. Clift's farm, 160 acres. Gross sales.
$6,344. Two regular hands, including extra
help, paid for labor 941*5-
lt. J. Swan’s farm, 325 acres. Gross sales,
910.771. Paid for labor, 9000.
Wc might multiply thess instances from the
invaluable volumes before us. They are in
deed exceptional cases, being prize farms, but
they illustrate the point at which we are aim
ing, the proportion of labor in the manage
ment cf productive land. It is to be borne in
mind, that in offering those forms for pretni
urns, it was necessary in the specification of
details, to mention the nir.ount of manure, as
no farm would receive a premium which was
not under • a eywtcm cf manngoinent which
would improve it annually-. The returns men
tioned by these contestants indicate an aver
age of from thirty to forty two horse wagon
loads of manure to each acre of ploughed land.
Under such treatment, the older the land is,
the better it becomes—thus not only tho rev
enue of the farmer but hiu capital in land an
nually increases. In entering a country rep
resented by such farmit g, a purchaser will
not inquire as he would at the South. “How
long will this land last,’’ hut, how loDg has it
been improved ?*' The difference in these nat
ural questions in tho two sections of country,
offers a key to the difference in the value of
land.
We cannot forbear giving another instance
originally published in the Valley Farmer, of
tbo farm of a Mr. Gentry of Missouri. The
instances previously given are on a small
scale. This is on a large scale, and on this
account may be more instructive to our large
Planters. This farm consists of 3500 acres
under fence, and mostly in divisions of forty
acres; 1400 in blue grass, 700 in clover and
Timothy meadow, 300 in corn, 100 in oats,
20 acres in millet and the rest in woods pas
ture. There are SO miles of fence mostly rails.
The farm force consists of twelve grown hands
and six boys. Gross receipts from the farm
927,000. This return gives an annual gross
iucome of eight dollars from every acre, in
cluding woods—it gives $1500 to each hand,
man and boy, and allows about 200 acres to
each band. *
Suppose n person hesitating between the
purchase of Mr. Gentry’s farm and one in
Georgia. Wc might suppose him to say, “If
I buy the Missouri farm, U is true I must buy
stock to put upon it: But if I buy the Geor
gia farm it will require a large gang of no
gaoes to work 3500 acres according to the
common plan—this will cost a great sum of
money—on the whole, I will buy in Georgia,
but the cost of this amount of labor must come
out of the lands. And besides, I must con
sider how long this rolling land in Georgia
will last in the cultivation of cotton and corn,
and as it is perishable projierty, I must regu
late my price accordingly.” It is thus, that
our landed property is depreciated in value.
The causes which have been mentioned, we
believe, are those which most injuriously affect
the valne of Southern lands. Wo have only
presented heads of thoughts, for each poiut
would require extended remarks fully to illus
trate. Our defective system of agriculture
has been stated generally, as the cause of the
result we are condcusing, and as particulars
under this general head, we have enumerated
the facts, that our farmers buy land as
erty to be worn out. nut improved—
large proportion of our landed property yields
no annual income—tliat cur system allows no
value to land independent of costly labor be
stowed upon it—that onr succession of crops
is of a most exhausting ni ture and lastly, that
in their cultivation they ir squire an amount of
labor, not known elsewhere in intelligent ag
riculture.
We should deeply regret it, if any person
suppose that these defect i in Southern Agri
culture arc pointed out iti a presumptuous or
captious spirit. The sii aject we are discus
sing, more gravely affectu the pecuniary in
terest of Southern laud folders than any oth
er which can bo present* d for their considera
tion. If there be a process by which their
lands may be brought np'to the standard of
Northern value, the lauls which thousands
now own* and which are of little worths would
bring to their children, iifducnce. We believe
that there is no valid re non why this result
may not follow, and in is comparatively short
period. ‘ J
It involves no censar.t upon the men who
established the preseut order of agricultural
affairs to point out its picscnt defects. They
were pioneers, for tho inast part men ot limi
ted means, encountcrim; the forest, prevented
by necessity from using improved farming
tools, raising stock without difficulty in the
range, and only for their own consumption as
they were unsaleable, where all were produ-

the washing of the sod.
This thought lends to the proper remedy for
the low price of our land. That remedy is the
incorporation into our system of agriculture, of
a feature by which crops, for the improvement
of.the soil directly or indirectly, shall be ai
regularly cultivated as crops for sale. Wheth
er these crops shall bo returned after having
passed through the bowels of farm stock, is a
separate question. We wish to see it regard
ed as much a part of the farmer’s innocent
boast, that he has improved so many acres of
land as that be has sold so many bags of cot
ton.
To do this wc must raise horses, mules, cat
tle. hogs and sheep, for onr own consumption,
and for the supply of the market. Wool is
ready of sale as cotton. It is cheaper in onr
climate, and with proper summer and winter
pastures to raise a pound of merino wool worth
fifty cent* in New York, than it is to raise a
pound of cotton, worth 12 cents in the same
market. The cause of this is obvious. The
increase of a flock of sheep, well managed cov
ers its expenses and the wool is clear. There
is no process by which we can get cotton clear.
Two negro men. with proper enclosure and
pastures, will take care of 1,000 Merino sheep.
It is estimated by competent judges, that the
droppings of 1,000 sheep on an acre of ground,
' ;ht, are equal to 200 pounds of gun-
know what guano costs, and by
counting 305 nights, we may estimate the val
ue of 1,000 sheep, in the improvement of 305
acres of land for one year. The cheapest way
by which wc can raise sufficient stock to keep
our capital in land always increasing, is by
the cultivation of the artificial grasses. In
their cultivation it is only the first cost which
tells—afterwards they work for us without la
bor on our part.
We would begin with the woodland and
woods pastures. An English park is nothing
but a woods pasture, and it pays an annual
interest on a heavy investment. We have in
Georgia upwards of thirty millions of acres of
unimproved lands to six millions enclosed and
improved. Much of this land is perhaps hope
lessly irreclaimable, or at least for many years.
But a vast amount of it can be used for the
purpose suggested. When this is done, what
an addition to the value of the lands, the
wealth of the State and the comfort of the peo
ple ! What an exhaastless means of improv
ing lauds injured by scourging cultivation!
A farmer has $1200 which he desires to in
vest—he is doubtful whether to buy a negro
man or more laud. Suppose he does neither,
but expends this amount in the purchase of
some one of the concentrated manures, applies
it to his wheat land in the fall and sows clover
with in the manner suggested in .another col
umn of this Journal. If his wheat is success
ful), he will get back, Mr. David Dickson tells
us, one hundred per cent on his outlay for ma
nures—if his clover is successful, he will be a-
ble to raise stock enough, hogs especially, to
prevent the necessity of a future outlay for
manure. The land which before this process
commenced was not worth perhaps five dollars
an acre, the fanner would be very sorry to.
sell for fifty dollars an acre, after n good clo
ver sod has been formed upon it. It will more
than pay him the interest of that sum annual
ly withou^labor, and when the sod is turned
under for cotton, corn or wheat the results will
amaze him. A slight dressing of manure on
lnnd deeply ploughed, (a dressing on the sur
face.) will cause clover and the grasses to take
hold and flourish, where their growth was oth
erwise impracticable.
In one word the remedy for the low price of
our landed estate is to adopt a system which
will annually improve the land.
Onr object in this article is to introduce the
right kind of thought into our Agriculture.
We do not meau to say that our fanners do
not think—they do think, and some of them
intensely—but the subject of these thoughts is
too often solely, “How shall wc make more
cotton ?” We would append to this euquiry
an addition, “How shall we moke more cot
ton while wc improve our lauds I” Wo be
lieve both these ends arc attainable.
Wc propose no violent innovations. Wc
would not diminish the amount of cotton and
corn produced, but would increase it. Wc
wish to see this increased production for a
smaller area of land and by high manuring and
skillful cultivation; we wish to see our now
usclsss forests, paying the owner as the park
docs the Englishman, feeding his flocks and
giving fertility to his arable lands. Wc wish
to see the arable land, when made rich and
generously repaying its liberal owners in the
process, afterward allowed that repose from its
toils, which God has ordained that all organ
ised nature must be allowed, in order that it
may properly perform its functions.
The views presented are not novelties. They
are the results of observation upon the prac
tice of others, where landed estate gives for
tune, and a cpntrast with our own practice
where landed estate is sometimes an encum
brance rather than a source of wealth.
Will the farmer allow something of the fol
lowing train of thoughts to pass through his
mindY” “I own 500 acres of land—I can
hardly support my family upon it. I might
sell it for 92.500. If it was in some places, I
could sell it for 950,000 or rent it for 9500 a
year. What is the reason of this difference ?
Can 1 remedy it ?” A thonghtful mind turn
ed to these enquiries will ascertain facts to
the benefit of the thinker and the public. The
improved practice of no one man, can indeed,
materially affect the price of landed estate in
a great extent of country. But it can add to
his income. It will affect favorably the inter
est of his children, and as others follow the ex
ample, the iufiueuce extends, and greatly in
creased products, and greatly enhanced value
of land is the result of that influence. When
an agricultural practice which hasgiven a large
price to land elsewhere becomes general at the
South, there is no reason why land at the
South may not be as valuable as in any other
portion of the globe.
Courtship.
Courtship is the last brilliant scene in the
maiden life of woman. It is, to her, a garden
where no weeds mingle with the flowers, but
all is lovelv and beautiful to the senses. It is
a dish of nightingales served up by moonlight
to the mingled music of manly tenderness and
gentle whisperings—an eagerness that does not
outstep the l>ounds of delicacy, and a series, of
fluttcrings, throbbing?, high pulses, burning
cheeks, and drooping lashes. But, however de
lightful it may be, courtship is, nevertheless,
serious business; it is the first turning point i
the life of woman, crowded with perils and
temptations. There is as much danger in the
strength of love as in its weakness. The kin
dled hope requires watching. The rose tints
of affection dazzle and bewilder the imagination,
and while always bearing in mind that life with
out love is a barren wilderness, it should not be
overlooked that true affection requires solid sup
ports. Discretion tempers passion, and itM
precisely that quality which, oftencr than any
other, is found to he absent in courtship. Young
ladies in love, therefore, require wise counsel
lors. They should not trust too much to the
impulses of the heart, nor be too easily capti
vated by a winning exterior. In the selection
of a husband, character should he considered
more than appearances. Young men indinod
to intemperate habits—even but slightly
rarely make good husbands to the end; they
have no sufficient moral stamina to enable them
to resist temptation even^in its incipient stages,
and, being thus deficient in self-respect, they
c innot possess that pure, uncontaminated feel
ing which alone capacitates a man for rightly
appreciating the tender and loving nature of '
true woman. The irreligious man is like a ship
without a rudder, and he never can make a good
husband; for a house darkened by cold skepti
cism or an indifference to religion and its duties
is never a home—it is merely a shelter; but
there is little warmth in the atmosphere of the
rooms, and every object in them looks chill and
chilling. The indolent man, likewise, cannot
bo expected to make a good husband, for he
neglects his time and wastes his estate, allowini
it to be overrun with thistles and brambles, ani
subsists on the industry of others. Every pre
caution then, is necessary in tho selection of
husband.
Blackslicnr.
The laying of tho iron on the track of the
Main Trunk was completed to Blackshcar on
•the 15th inst, and tho train commenced its reg
ular daily visit to that point on Friday last-—
This new and growing village, tho county site
of Pierce, occupies an elevated plain, crossed by
the Railroad, and though laid out in the primi
tive forest scarcely a twelvemonth ago, contains
at the present time a neat Court House, an Ho
tel, three stores and quite a number of cotnfor
table residences. It is eighty-six miles distant
from Savannah, and about eighteen from Warcs-
boro'.
The Main Trunk is graded ahd ready to re
ceive the iron some ten miles furtht* on, and as
all the materials are at hand, the trains will
soon be running to l'ankeetown, west of the
Great Satillo. The progress now being made
by the contractors, and the comparative light
ness of the work guarantees the completion of
the Road, to the extent of at least twenty-five
miles beyond the latter point, in time to carry
stward the first of the next crop.
The Protltsof Insurance.
I That reliable and well conducted insurance
companies make enormous profits is a fact not
generally known. To show how the case
stands, we copy from the Boston Herald the
subjoined paragraph:
“Of the Boston stock offices, the American
divided 954,000 on a capital of 9300,000, and
had9171,000 reserved profits; the Iloylston
paid a dividend of 10 per cent., with 9121.-
534 reserved profits ; the Boylston paid 20
per ceut. dividend, with 9233,743 reserved
profits ; the Firemen’s 23 per cent., 9175.000
reserved ; the Manufacturers’ 30 per cent.,
with 9245,730 reserved; tho Merchants’ 16
per cent.; the National 27 per cent.; the Nep
tune 20 per cent. Besides theso there are sev
eral foreign insurance companies doiDg busi
ness in the Commonwealth, whose dividends
vary from 20 to 30 per cent.

When his barns are filled
From the fields he tilled;
And he feels that bis yearly task is done.i
And smiling at winter he beckons him on.
A Fi|;Iit xvilli a Shark.
About the latter end of Queen Anne’s wars
Capt John Beams, commander of the York
Merchant, arrived at Barbadocs from England.
Having discmltarkcd the last part ofhLs loading,
which was coals, the sailors who had been em
ployed in that dirty work ventured into the sea
to wash themselves. There they had not been
long, before a person on board espied a large
shark making towards them, and gave them
notice ofdheir danger, upon which they swam
back and reached the boat, all but one; him
the monsUir’ Overtook almost within resrh of
the oars, and gripping him by the small of the
back, his devouring jaws soon ent asunder and
as soon swallowed the lower part of Ins body
tlu> remaining part was taken up and carried on
board, where itis comrade km. His friendship
with the deceased had been long tfiKCfiguishwl
by a reciprocal discharge of such endearing of
fices as implied a union and sympathy of souls.
When he saw the severed trunk of his friend it
was with a horror and emotion too great for
words to paint During this affecting scene,
the insatiable shark was traversing the bloody
search after the remainder of his prey. The
rest of the crew thought, themselves happy in
being on bouril, lie alone unhappy tliat he was
not within rmcli of the destroyer."
Fired at the sight and vowing that lie would
make the dev jurer disgorge, or be swallowed
himself into the same grave, he plunges into the
deep, armed with a large sharp pointed knife.
The shark no sooner saw him but be made fu
riously toward him—both equally eager, tho
one for his prey, the other for revenge. The
moment the shark opened his capacious jaws,
his adversary, dexterously diving and grasping
him with his left hand somewhat below the up
per fins, successfully employs his knife in his
right hand, firing him repeated stabs in the
belly. The enraged shark, after many unavail
ing "efforts, finding himself matched in his own
element, endeavors to disengage himself, some
times plunging to the bottom, then mad with
pain, rearing his uncouth form (now stained
with his owu streaming blood) abovo the foam
ing waves. The crews of the surrounding ves
sels saw the unequal combat, uncertain from
which ol the combatants tho stream of blqpd is
sued ; til! at length the shark, weakened by the
loss of blood, made toward the shore, aud with
him his conqueror; who, flushed with an assu
rance of victory, pushes his foe with redoubled
ardor, and by the help of an ebbing tide, drag

Landing of Slaves.nt the South
The N. Y. Journal of Commerce has infor
mation which appears to be reliable tliat a car
go of slaves were landed at the mouth of the
Mississippi about fifteen months ago, unknown
to the United States authorities. The United
States Consul at Inagua, Turks Island, in a pri
vate letter writes as follows:
1 have just been informed of an interesting
circumstance in regard to the landing of slaves
near New Orleans, and having seen no reference
to the transaction in our American papers, and
feeling confident of the truth of the statmer.t, I
send it to you with all the particulars I could
gather from the author, who was on board.
John James, an English boy, (seaman,) who
shipped on board the English barque Esther
Francis, at St Jago, and was wrecked at the
Uland in January last says that he sailed from
the port of Philadelphia in the Sommer ofl867,
for Havana, in the ship -
-, of New York,
and that he sailed in the same ship from Havana
to the coast ot Africa, where they took on board
a cargo of slaves at a place called, as he thinks,
Baraba, and tliat they landed the same slaves
near the mouth of the Mississippi, (to the North
east of it,) in January, 1858. They landed six
hundred, and lost only about a dozen on the
vovage. That they landed them in their boats
without molestation, there being no settlement
at the spot, and that they immediately proceed
ed from the place of debarkation to. New Or
leans, and reported (as he learned from the sec
ond mate) to be from the coast of Africa. He
says they fell in with no cruisers on tho voy
age, which occupied from six to eight months.
He does not remember the name of the captain
or mate.
I have no doubt of tho correctness of the boy’s
tatement, ami was astonished to know that
such a trade was carried on so boldly on our
own coast.
Northern Testimony.
The following article appeared in the Cincin
nati Commercial, a Black Republican organ.
The views are somewhat extraordinary for that
source, and are, in many respects, similar to the
conclusions of that comprehensive little volume,
“Cotton is King
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
A LITTIjE PLAIN TALK ABOUT TUB FOB-
ElON SLAVE TitADE.
A paragraph in the telegraphic news from
Washington, tire other day, informs tho public
that Senator Seward lias introduced his hill to
abolish the African Slate trade.
About two hundred millions of dollars having
already been expended, and some thousands of
gallant lives sacrificed, in fruitless efforts to do
this same thing, in the same way- proposed by
Senator Seward, it Twty well be questioned
whether the experiment is worth 'continuing.
The efficiency of legislation in preventing any
given evil, depends very much upon the rela
tions existing between the law-making power
and the causes which operate to produce tho
evil to be remedied.
Let us therefore inquire for a moment, to as
certain what relationship exists between legis
lation and the causes of the African slave trade;
and we may perhaps discover the reason of tho
lamentable failure of the united legislative efforts
of civiliflM nations for its suppression.
Why does the African Stare Trade Exist ?
Simply because the civilized world demands the
products of slave labor and will not do without
them. To a very considerable extent, it is a
ucstion of Stomach vs. Sentiment If one-half
lie coffee drinkers of the world were to aban
don the use of that beverage to-morrow, the
slave trade to Brazil would decrease from twen
ty to forty per cent within the next two years,
But whilst fifty millions or more of white phil
anthropists are in the daily use of that agreea
ble drink, the less conscientious planter cf the
raw material in Brazil, will resort to every ef
fort, legitimate or illegitimate, to supply the de
mand, and the price of coffee in New York and
Liverpool w ill determine the amount of risk lie
is willing to incur in a venture to the coast of
Africa for negroes. If coffee will bring him
twenty cents a pound, lie will bo willing to loso
four cargoes of negroes out of every five he sends
for, and if it only brings ten cents, he cannot
afford to risk so much.
When the political philosophers and philan
thropists of France, thought' that “ Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity” required the abolition
of slavery, in their West India possessions, tl.or
had Kcnfio enough to know two things—First
That the proposed emancipation of the slaves
wouldn't have the slightest cflect upon the ap
petite of the French people for Sugar; and Sec
ond, That they could not longer expect a sup
ply of that article from those French West In
dia Islands. They, therefore, immediately and
very wisely set about encouraging the cultiva
tion of the sugar beet in -France. Now, the
French manufacture a great proportion, and
perhaps all of the sugar they consume—but it
s not at all improbable that if every sugar beet
seed there, were destroyed to-day, the negroes
now vegetating along the coast of Africa, with
in the reach of the slave traffic, would commence
suffering the consequences within the next
twelve montlis.
It is said that the price of negroes is greatly
advanced in the South. Why is this t 11 is not
because white men in tho South love slavery,
but because they love money. Slaves make
money for them and they can make more now
than formerly, because there is an increased de
mand for the products of their labor.
Nineteenth-twentieths, perhaps, of all the
cotton manufactured and used throughout the
civilized world is produced by the labor of slaves.
There are a great many other people then, be
sides slaveholders, who nre peculiarly interes
ted in making negroes pick cotton. The slave
holder IS simply the agent for tho manufacturer
of the raw material. The manufacturer in his
turn, is the factor of the jobbers and retail dry
goods merchants; and these again make their
money by selling to the individual consumers.
Hence thu interests of all these classes combine
to make it profitable for the slaveholder to hold
slaves and to increase their number.
Now if there is any legitimate way for legis
lation to counteract the influence of these com
bined causes, there is no doubt tliat in tliat way
their effects could be reached. In other words,
if legislation can be properly invoked and effi
ciently exercised to prevent the consumption of
the products of slave labor, to discourage their
manufacture and to curtail and finally abolish
all commerce in them, then the mischiefs and
evils connected with slavery, are subject to leg
islative control.
The soundness ofthis position is recognized in
tho very cardinal idea of the Colonization scheme.
That great philanthropic enterprise looks to the
development of the resources of Africa by free
African labor, and the consequent supply "of the
demand of tlic world for tropical products, by
this free labor—and that as a necessary result,
slave labor will loso in the consumption, and
thus eventually ,l>c abandoned.
Hut although tliat scheme has been represen
ted by the highest intellects of tho country, and
lias been administered with equal ability and
liberality, its results have been altogether inad
equate and unsatisfactory. Why ? Because
the whole system is based upon an erroneous
estimate of the character and abilities of the
Native African.
God almighty scents to have made that indi
vidual morally, physically and sentimentally
averse to labor; and the Colonization Society
has been unable to correct the mistake ! The
enlightened descendants of the brave Anglo-
Saxon stock of men, who commenced fighting
for the right of governing themselves, and of en
joying the proceeds of their own labor, some six
‘liundrcd years ago, have been guilty of the er
ror of supposing, tliat what is now so perfectly
apparent to them in civil polity, can be equally
so, by the telling, to any other portion ofthchu-
mamfamily! Hence the negro, whose crude
ideas have never yet attained the a l* c’s of the
political alphabet, is to be put at once to the
reading of the Federalist, and is expected to
carry on a government in accordance with its
principles!
This may be all very beautiful in theory, hut
one may be excused for doubting its practical
success. Tho Liberian Republic, therefore, may
not be very confidently looked to, either as an
instrumentality to counteract the commercial
and physical causes tliat contribute to the per
petuation of slavery, or to abolish tho African
slave trade.
■ What hope is there, then, to control or limit
this execrable traffic V In the first place, let the
world no longer satisfy. itself by this miserable
and impracticable cant about slavery and the
negroes. We are all engaged in the slave trade.
We are all responsible for it The man whom
the laws of civilized nations condemn to the
gallows as a pirate, is encouraged by the civili
zed world to do tills very tiling. Mr. Seward
encourages him when he legislates to protect
the manufacturing interests of Massachusclts
and the commercial iifttrcsts of New York.
Let slavery cease to be treated as a question
for politicians to make capital out of—let its
truo relations, physical and commercial as well
as moral anil political, be clearly ascertained and
distinctlv defined, and then, but never till then,
will its difficulties be solved, and its abuses cor
rected, H.
