They are watching me and I .am watching them. It is the same old story— capital against labor. There are tricks in all trades. You can count the bands in a bundle, but you cant count the blades in a hand, and so they can make them heavy or make them light, accord ing to pay.

We noticed that a good many bales of new cotton went into mar- , ket last Saturday, and if this nice weather, and the present low price fur picking continues, it will not be long before the whole crop is on the market.

This day labor A young clergyman and his bride were invited guests at a large party given by a wealthy parishion r. In all the freshness and elegance of her bridal ward rolic the young wife shone among the throng, distinguished by her comeliness and vivacity and rich attire; and when during the even ing her young husband drew her aside ami whispered to her that she was the most beautiful woman in all the company, and that his heart was bursting with pride and lore for tier, she thought her self the happiest wife in the world. Ten years later the same husband and wife were guests at tiic same house, where was gath cred a similar gay company. The wife of ten years ago wore the same dress she had worn on the previous occasion; and of course it had been altered ami made over, ami was old fashioned and almost shabby. Toil and care and motherhood and pinched cir cumstances had taken the roses out of the checks ami the lithe spring out of her form. She sat apart from the crowd, careworn and preoccupied. Her small hands, roughened with coarse toil, were ungloved, for the minis ter’s salary was painfully small. A little apart the ten years hus band stood and looked at his wife, and as lie observed her Jaded dress and weary attitude, a great sense of ail her patient, loving fa i lb fill lies* came over bis heart.

To be an agreeable listener it is necessary to talk now and then, to look the speaker in the eye, and not to interrupt. 1 try not to show superior knowl edge, for there is nothing more disagreeable than to have people all tbe time setting you straight. I do not like it myself; so when some one tells me a story that I have heard before, even if it is a little different in detail, I let it piss as something I am hearing for the first time. I think if any one will talk naturally, speaking with eyes, as well as lips, and without affectation, they need not fear criticism, unless the conver sation is made |>ersonal by one’s own, or neighbors’ affairs. If I were to give rules for becoming a good conversationalist, 1 should say, avoid slang, grammatical er rors and bail pronunciation, be as refined as possible, and let that very refinement be your natural self. Be courteous and discreet, revere sacred subjects, never treat them lightly, even in a joke; ad here strictly- to the truth, and listen intelligently.” I thanked my friend for her hints, and meutally compared her sentiments and actions with the ordinary conversation one meets with.
