All the while the minister and his wife had been talking, a storm had been raging out side. On opening the door a traveller, quite wet through, entered. *1 was corning through the forest from Maryville,’ he said, ‘and ventured to stop at the first house I saw. My horse is in the shed. Do I take too great a liberty T ‘Not at all,’ answered the maater of the house. ‘We have but a poor shelter, as you see; but such as it is, you are welcome to it; there is e good fire, at any rate.’ For it was in the kitchen where this con versation took place. Indeed, this humble home boasted no parlor, and the kitcen was dining-room, drawing-room, living-room and all. The stranger proved to be a man of edu cation, and intelligance, and in conversa tion tiie ministo' - forgot Iris trouble and was reminded of earlier and brightei days, when intellectual companionship bad not been the rare tiling it was now, up among these hills. At last the storm abated, and tire stran ger arose to go. His host accompanied him to the gate, and watched him till he disap-* peared behind a turn of the road. ‘See here James,’ said his wife, eagerly, when he returned to his house. ‘1 found this on the table near where the gentleman sat.’ It was a fifty dellars greenback, wrap ped hastily in a bit of paper that looked as if it had been torn from a pocket book, and on the inside of the paper was written the verse of the Psalmist, which it was now apparent the traveller had over heard. ‘I though he was writing the directions he aeKed for,’ said the minister, . 'He means it for as. Thanks be to the Lord ! Did I not say, my dear, he would provide!’ His wife burst into tears. ‘God forgive me V she said. ‘I will never doubt again. The Lord surely sent tins stranger to our aid.’ .. , , •And he will still pror.de,’ replied her husbaud. 'Whatever my lot may be here or elsewhere, in him I trust.’ BAINBRIDGE, jit a lit.

Fortunate for us if they find us in a teachable frame of mind, disposed to listen to tho lessons of the past and to press forward to the duties which lie before us. And on the farm, no less than in any other Witlk of life, they should from, as it were, the beginning of anew era; anew starting point. WftifAtTe "figirt of past experience we shorn J * lay out our plans for thereto re and Steadily pursue them till we become satisfied they are wrong. If the farm has not paid, depend upon it there is some rea son for it, for fai ming as it ought to be, and may be pursued, is unquestionably profit a. if*le Very nearly nine out of ten of the tfmne population of the globe live directly or indirectly' by the cultivation of the soil. It is the foundation of all wealth, and to say that it doesn’t pay is perieclly absurd. In the nature of things it must pay, and as a general rule, no cion A. it does pay. If, in any individual case, it has failed to give that pecuniary satisfaction which has been expected fiom it, there must be some rea son for it. What is that reason? Search for it and find it out. Ton chances to one it may be removed. It is a great thing to know the cause of failure and a stfll great er to resolve to overcome and remove it. There is no better time than this to lay out the plan of operations for the .year, These long evenings must be improved in some way. In the hurry of spring work, when the body is wearied with toil, the mind will not act with the vigor and energy which now move it, and hence every farmer should have some definite and tangible plan laid out in bis mind and put upon paper; and let him work up to that plan as neatly as possible through the coming year. As to the details of farm work at this sea son, little need be said' They are simple and not very laborous. The stock, of course, must always have care to be kept thriving, must have warm shelter and liberal feed ing. A little plaster should be sprinkled over the stall floors every day. It preserves the value ol the manure and helps to ptfnfy the atmosphere of a close barn. Many (ai - mers expose their stock unnecessarily in turning out to water on very cold days. No doubt a few hours m the yard on mild days is often beneficial, but, as a general rule, the less exposare to severe weather the bet ter. Sheep need clean and well litteied sheds and access to water. The wood pile needs looking aftrr at this season, and a year’s supply should.be secured in advance. Burn ing green wood is expensive, to say noth ing of the trouble it occasions in the house. Wood cannot be toe well seasoned, for when it is thoroughly dry, to all appearance, it will st ill contain about ten per cent of water. But green wood contains about forty per cent. In burning green wood, therefore, we have to use up and waste heat enough in evaporating the sap of every ton so burnt, to boil nearly a thousand gallons of water. Os course* this heat is to a very large extent, wasted. There is no economy in burning green wood. After all the chores are attended to, there will still remain some time to read and study, and it ought to be improved by the use of good books, Money laid out for good works upon agriculture will pay, if they arc read oil ■ ants to wfo y fdnm'vs amlLpianters of . * 'fbs learning. \ 1 Stogie ttl' itß Z ßd '° ld be^ n, r nt f n, the chiapi'MttijT it is next, to impossi ardships of s , „ , . „ - farming/ as it / ;i*goneral thing, is unpopular, :s ver y books so sinifnarlly dis- Btrrts H!'a’./* < t the experiedeft of men whose 4 - J y-. been crowned with success, and J=Sfr OF m’own prosper! mis and rich l>y | 'iLl errors of the past. Look l at Mr. Dav,. of Hancock county; he is a book furi.'d^nps&nrking a p antation which ten years ago emarkable for its poverty more than for other x quality, and yet lie makes one acre produce, with the same amount of labor, from three to ten times as much as the lands of Georgia neighbors. How is this great result accotn* plished? That it is great, and that the same processes adopted generally by the agriculturists of the South would double our wealth in lesß than five years, is beyond all question. The facts are clearly estab lished, and a school boy who can cipher in the Rule of three will be at no less at de** monstrating this conclusions. We take Mr. Dickson’s case because it is an illustrative one. It is not a question of luck, but one of skill and good judgement and any-man who follows his plans is oblig ed to succeed. What, then, is the secret of this gfalGeorgia farmer ? It is simply to pie to the soil every year than you take away from it. Here is a solution of the whole mystery, and we may add that the more you give back the more prosperous, you will become. Mr. Dicksou’s plan in volves no particular skill of cultivation. He ploughs deep, keeps his crops clean and the earth well stired during the growing season. Most planted do this, and yet there is one essential part of his system — the one that vitalizes all his labor and crowns them with success—that most otbe* planters do not observe. It is that which wo have mentioned —the liberal use of ma nures, whether made on the farm or inrpor* ted from abroad, though in every respect experience has demonstrated the superiority of the latter. They are more powerful and more portable, and in the long run the cheap er of the two. We are well aware that the idea of pay ing out money for manures is repugnant to many old. fogies, who are content to lag be hind the race of progress; but all intelligent planters are obliged to see and confess that practical results have established their un reasonable obstinacy. If an acre of ground unaided will bring the value of $33 in cot'- ton, and by the application of S2O in manure you can make it produce SIOO, there is a clear gain of $47 aft«*i paying all expenses. This is a reasonalilb > aicnlation; many plan, ters who use commercial manures great ly exceed that amount of gain Then, why do our agriculturists hold back ? Why not avail thetnselv( S of’Mhis in’*w power that commerce has plated at their command and reap the gioriotls fruits, instead of toiling on yertr atlel* ybur with exp'oded systems of culture, aiid growing poorer and poorer as time advances ? CofUtnon seii’se is a pbpillai pliarse among planters and we commend them to its teachings itHliis matter. It is a grave one indeed, and involves the destiny of mir people for tin* future. And in this connection we would bring to the public attention the claims of those merchants of Savannah who have embarked in this particular business of supplying our planters with the various fertilizers, foreign and domestic. While they seek their own prosperity, they areengaged in a beneficieut work, and we would rejoice to see them all get rich, for we would have ihe assurance that they did so not at the cost of their tin ift and prosperity; though, to speak mure cor rectly, we should reverse the order of cause and effect—the planter will have prospered on the business of the merchant. The lime is approaching for preparing the soil for another crop, and as most of our planters wili have a surplus, let them all invest liberal portion of it if hot the whole, which would be better, in well selected fer tilizers.

At work.— am l w rih- From the Memphis Ledger, Dec'. 22 Cotton Mamifucltire-Our Advan tages as Producers of tl»e Itaw Ula» terial, W« V<v ptt»duce from the Nashvilla BanrieT, | a couple ot week® a „ ttr tiele covering j a report of W. E. Jackson, of the Augusta (Georgia)► Colton M«iiu{acnjrt, lg Company. The article was well-timed, en couraging and convincing, and has been re* published extensively throughout the coun try. Tile. Northern press attempts to party the effect of the blow which has established the fact that a manufactory located here will pay better for coarse and heavy goods than it will at the North. But they cannot deny the facts and results stated in the re port of the President. We are glad that they are stirred up and alarmed about it. It will beget investigation, which is all we need to bring manufacturing capital among 11s, especially when it is guaranteed immu nity and protection, as our Legis'atme, to its credit proposes to do. We have long known that for coarse goods, shv, No. 16 shirtings and heavier fabrics, we bad a great advantage f>r the manufacture. Onr coarse cottons cost more freight to tin* North than then - finer qualities, and by the time they return to us as manufactured goods, we buy them back again at a cost of two to oue, which would be saved to out people, if manufactured here. If we sell a pound of cotton for twenty cents which will make three yards of shirtings, wc buy it back again as shirtings at forty cents, and tweuty cents has gone, for freights, in surance, commissions, jobbers’ profits and manufacturing. It is paid to support a people not of our own section. When we had slaves it may have been more profitable on account of 1 heir health, and insurance on their lives, and their greatest efficiency in the field, employ labor in the production of the staple alone. But that objection is re" moved with the abolition of alavu- -'• “u 4nd c-an ujjjy. , 5 ." ‘ v cft u, e* whole profit if we manufacture at home and save the expenses of freight, commissions and profits in passing from hand to hand. The advantage is great beyond what is supposed by any who have not made the calculation. We are laggards in enterprise if we do not look into the matter. We hope the discussion will open the eyes of shrewd Northern capitalists, and they will avail themselves of it. They will find open arms and great kiudness and every encourage ment and aid from our people if they come here, Banner is doing the work in verm tilating tire matter, and the Northern cap italists are beginning to be stirred and their manufacturers to take alarm at the prospect of competition. Morn is to be made by man ufacturing than by producing the staple, and we are glad to find that the whole North, as well as the South is beginning to see it. With the Georgia factory results, and indeed with most other of our few fac tories, we challenge a Comparison with any factories of the North for the profit made, wdiich are in the excess of theirs. This fact must bring capital d"wn as soon as i t is understood. Factories established here will make one hundred per cent, more on coarse fabrics than they can in any Northern State, as the illustration by the Georgia and othe»* cotto.n mills have already clearly de monstrated. A Northern paper answers that the Georgia factory is an exceptional case, and is managed ty shrewd Yankees who know how to.economize and turn a penny. Very well let them come on and make their pile, if this is the reason. But the true rea* son is in the saving of expenses in freights’ insurance, and profits before alluded to. And other shrewd Yankees will find it, and profit by it, wo may hope. Onr climate suits better, fuel is eiieapei, land cheaper to raise supplies for laborers, and wages will be no greater and perhaps less than in the North. The cotton is at our door, and beginning with the cheapest and selling the dearest, we cati manufacture coarse fabiics cheapsi than they can be laid at our doors from manufactories in any other part of the world. And they who undertake to do it t whether our own people or welcome new comers, will grow rich by the operation. Lazy BoYs.— A~ lazy hoy makes a lazy man, just as sure as a crooked sapling makes a crooked tree. Who ever say a boy grow op in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unless he had a fortune left him to keep up appear ances ? The great mass of thieves crimi nals, and paupers, have come to what they are by beiug brought up in idleness.

The firmness with which cotton continues to he held in Eyghuid, at a time, too, when the crop in the United States has turned out a lair average, continues to excit<?'*nr« prise on the other side of the Atlantic. Those Iwho some months since were of opinion vV " v ' middling New Orleans would decline to 91. per pound, and those who advocated a heavy fall in prices to secure for the manu facturers cheap and safe maikets for tho future, find that they have been laboring under a delusion as regards consumption and production. The best authorities Con cur in the opinion on the whole, there is nothing indicative sis a much lower range of quotations. On the ¥t>:!? *'rt:,~TtTTfTotM visible supply of cotton was only 960,000 ' bales. Last year it was 1,116,000, and in 18G6, 1,298,000 bales. Since that date the quantity has declined to about 830,000 bales a quantity which is wholly opposed to the theory of low currencies. The comparison of the visible supply stands thus: 1868. 1867. 1866. American bales R3G.000 ... .416 000.. .461 ,M)0 Fast India bales 682.000 691.00n., .654,000 Suudiics bales 42,000 109.000 93,000 960,000 1 116,000 1,298,<Xk» The effect of these supplies on prices is seen by the following quotations from the corresponding periods: 1808. 1867. 1806. Middling Orleans at Liverpool, ll£d. Fair Dholhem at Liverpool B£d. Difference.. .3d. 2d. 4d. New Orleans cotton, it will be seer, is 3d per pound dearer than it was in 1867. Tho comparison as legards 1866 show a fall of 4d. per pound. The quotations then cur rent, however, were far too high to tempi ' large buyers toenter the market. The Lou don Merchantile Gazette, speculation upon the extent of the American .Crops, and the future range of values,.says* •‘We still contend dial-an...._BJMe > .‘^f rv ,rr- IT" -AfrV 1 wpt mmm .lipfi this year. If we assume that the total sup ply for the season will exceed 1807 by 100- 000 bales, we do not see how prices can possibly be reduced even 2d. per pound be neath their present well to advocate a diminished consumption in this country; but a great trading. nation like this cannot stand still. Oni home de mand for goods is something enormous, and our export trade is increasing every year, The trade, whatever prices may be ruling here or elsewhere, must be met; and whilst the sales of cotton continue on their present scale, we shall look in vain for any important increase in the stocks in warehouse.” The new crop in India is said to be turn ing out well—so well, indeed, that the exports ft oni Bengal alone, it is believed, will reach 100,000 bales. But, as India estimates are usually much in excess of actualities, effect on the value of the American article is a til to be determined. A Good Receipt. —We have receipts in* numerable for preserving all kitids of fruit* for a long period. Here is a good one *for preserving hoys for a whole lifetime—on the farm. Let every farmer who has hoy* try it. It is warranted to do no harm; Another thing—the boys Want an interest in the business, and the sooner yon give them an investment in the farm or its-stoclL : .. - r the more likely you will be to make fanner* of them: It is true, the laws gives you the right to the avails of their labors until they reach their majority. It May be true that these services are no’more than a fail com pensation for the expenses of their child hood. The intercourse of parents and child* ten should not’always be graduated by the legal scale. You do not want your son for a servant, but for a companion, and a sup port in your declining years. You want to attach him by affection and interest to the soil he cultivates. Begin then early to identify ids interest with your business, a* if he was under no obligation to yon. It * he fancies stock, give him whai ho likes, and let the increase he his. Especially encourage him to plant orchards or vineyards of the finest varieties of fruit. Teach him to bud gt Aft, prune, ripen and market all the fruit* of your climate. Furnish him with all hooks and facilties that he needs to study and to practise pom »l<»gy and horticulture. If pro perly encouraged, he will take an interest in these things very early, and before he is old enough to think of leaving" your roof luVtasles will be formed, and his course ’0 life will be determined. Ilis heart will go down into the soil with the roots of every, fruit tree that he plants, and the orchard* and gardens of the homestead, or of another close by, will be his paradise, from which nothing but necessity can drive him.— Ag ■ftifttt&vrHL NO. 39.
