Contrary to the law of political egonomy, that every industry must seek those chan nels in which are to be the most favorable °RP w, iWuities for profit,, the. North and West havg, hitherto, almost monopolized the stock breediug of the country. The climate and natural advantages of the North can bear uo comparison to those of Lbe South in Adaptation to this pursuit. TUe rigors of a Northern winter ; tue large outlay of time and labpp necessary for. providing shelter and forage; the brief pasturing season in those latitudes; the mnch larger amount of fo*rd consumed by stall-fed than by pastur- ed animals, and consequently the greater expense attending the raising of the for mer—all these are serious drawbacks in the way of stock raising in the North. On the other hand— the genial climate, and large unsettled tracts ot pasture land in the Sottlh: the immense cane brakes skiriintr the Southern rivers, froin Cape Fear to the Rio Gfande, and forming the finest pastu rage alike for hogs and sheep and cattle; the lung continuance of the spring and summer seasons and the .shortness and comparative mildness of the waters:—all these circumstances combine to afford the most unbounded facilities for the breeding of stock of every sort, and to any extent Shelter except from the winter rainstorms, is almost unnecessary in the Sou th;. And so far as stall-feeding is concerned, there can not be found in any country .upon the globe so wonderful a luxuriance of the necessary veget able supply. The very grasses which have heretofore formed the most persistent foe of the plantef, may be Utilized in iliis respect to an almost unlimited extent Es pecially is this true of the Bermuda grass, which, if left to itself, will in an incredible space of time dbvelope into the richest known pasturage for sheep, There is every incentive for the, South to avail herself of her great advantages in this respect. As is always the case where labor -is diversified, the benefits derived from stock raising would react uprtVi other branches of industry. The manure accumulated during the period of housing the stock would be of the utmost value to the planter; and the transpiwtation of stock would be an important element of profit to railroad and steamboat enterprises The subject is one • the importance of which, can not well be over estimaf ad.— L Chafkston News.

The Girls of Ihe Present. it is terribly significant of the present state of things, when men are free to write j as they do of the women of l heir own iftt tiou, Every word of censure flung against them is t wo-edged, and wounds those who condemn, as much as those who aie con ■detniicd; or surely it need hardly be said' that men hold nothing so dear as.tbe hopyr of their woman, and that no one living would willingly lowei the repule of Iris mother or sisters. It is only when the§e have placed themselves beyond the pale of masculine respect that such things are , written; when they beoomefagain wha* they r were once, they will gather around them the love and honor and devotion which wjyp then an English woman’s natural inherb tanoe.
