Kate.
“Oh, isn’t it splendid?” said Kate,
swinging her satchel high in the air, “and
isn’t Miss Wilson kind to let us all meet
at her house ?”
“I love to work for the missionaries,”
said Maud, “you feel so good, so like a
Christian, you know.”
“Yes, indeed, it makes us so much
happier to work for others, than to follow
our own selfish pleasures, mother says.”
“And what a beautiful fair we will
have! Bring all of your pieces of silk
and ribbon, for we are going to make lots
of pretty things.”
“Mother has any quantity of lovely
silks in an old trunk in the garret. lam
going to hunt them up as soon as I get
home.”
“You must come early to the Society.
We want to commence precisely at four
o’clock.”
“Good-bye,” said Kate, as she reached
the corner; “be sure to come at four.”
“Never fear, I will be there at half
past three.”
Kate rushed into the house, nearly
knocking over poor grandma, who was
slowly crossing the floor.
“0, where is mother?”
“I am so glad yon have come, deary;
I have been waiting for your bright eyes;
I want you to thread my cushion full of
needles, so that I can sew on my patch
work.”
Kate was generally very obliging about
the needles, but it did seem too hard to
be interrupted at this important moment,
when she wanted to tell her mother all
about the Society, and get those lovely
silks. She sat down, without a word, but
she never did see such ugly thread, that
would untwist and knot, and would not
§o through those hateful little eyes.
iually they were all threaded, a brilliant
array bristling on the cushion. Grandma
was much obliged, and Kate ran off to
find her mother.
“Where is mother, 0, where is she?
Cousin Anna, do you know where mother
is?”
“Keep quiet, can’t you?” said Cousin
Anna, who disliked children, and consid-
ered Kate as one of the noisiest and
naughtiest girls she ever knew. “Your
mother has got a headache, and you
must stop tramping and romping about
the house.”
“But I must see mother. I want to
ask her if I can go to the new Society,
and to find out in which trunk those silks
are, in the garret. I must see mother.”
“Well, you can not see mother, I tell
you. She is just going to sleep, and
you had better not go rummaging over
any of the trunks, but take care of your
little sister Daisy. She has been driving
your mother almost distracted by her
noise.”
On hearing this charge, Kate rushed
up to her room; she was in no mood for
tukiug care of Daisy. She locked the
door fast, threw her books and things on
the bed, and herself into a great rocking
chair, where she began to cry as though
her heart would break.
“It is always just so ! Mother always
has the headache when I have something
important to tell her. I never can go
any where, or do any thing. 0 dear, 0
dear, I am wild to get at those silks !
And I can not even go to the Society, for
I can not ask mother. 0 dear, 0 dear,
I never was so wretched in my life!”
“Katie, is you in your room ?” peeped
a sweet little voice outside the door; “I
want to saw you.”
“Go away, Daisy, you can not come
in,’Bsai<l Kufcy.
“Just a little minute,” pleaded Daisy.
“No, you naughty, bad girl, go right
away, I am busy.”
Daisy began to cry so loud that Kate
feared Cousin Anna might appear, so she
opened the door. Daisy bounced in, and
perched herself on the bed among Kate’s
things.
“O, what have you got left in your bas
ket?” said Daisy.
“No, you shall not touch my lunch
basket; there is nothing in it but a dry
cracker and an old apple,” and Kate
snatched it away.
“I want to see the old apple,” cried
Daisy, throwing herself down on the bed
and kicking with all her might against
Kate’s hat.
“0, Daisy, you awful wicked girl, you
have broken the feathers and spoiled my
hat,” cried Kate, who seized the child
very roughly, and put her out of the
room.
Daisy screamed and pounded the door
with her little fists. Kate paid no atten
tion, but went on bewailing her misfor-
tunes.
“Now just look at that hat! It was a
fright to begin with, I never can have
any thing decent, but now it is ruined,
and what shall I wear to school beside
Maud’s beautiful blue one? 0, how I
hate to be poor! Maud has three lovely
silk dresses, and I an old one made out
of mother’s, and I have only one pair of
kid gloves to my name. Cousin Anna
would say that is ridiculous. She ‘never
had a pair of kid gloves when she was a
little girl.’
“And there is that child crying out
side the door, but I won’t let her in. I can
not bear to take care of children, and it
is ‘hold baby,’ and ‘mind Daisy,’ from
morning till night. Now the clock is
striking four. O dear! 0 dear! the girls
are all there, and having such a nice
time—my heart is almost broken.”
A loud scream from Daisy sent Kate
to the foot of the stairs; but Bridget,
Cousin Anna, and poor, pale Mamma,
were there before her. Bridget held the
child in her arms, declaring she was “kilt
intirely, for her head was splitted.”
Mamma sat on the stairs, faint and trem
bling, while Kate, almost paralyzed with
fright, felt like a murderess, as she saw
the blood on Daisy’s face. But Cousin
Anna was equal to the occasion. She
declared the child could not be seriously
injured, as she herself saw her fall only
three or four steps. She found Daisy had
cut a little gash in her forehead. She
soon washed the wound and dressed it
with court plaster. Kate began to breathe
again, and sat down by Daisy in the most
contrite and humble state of mind. Daisy
put out her little hand, saying:
“I won’t tell mamma how cross you
was if you will tell me a story.”
“Certainly, darling,” and Kate sat by
Daisy till tea time, telling story after
story, and amusing her in the merriest
way, thinking how much trouble she
might have saved if she had been kind to
her little sister—all the time feeling so
guilty, and conscious that her zeal that
afternoon had not really been to help the
missionaries, but to have a good time and
be connected with a grand affair. She
hoped the missionaries would never know
how selfish she had been; above all, that
Cousin Anna was not acquainted with
any, for Kate was sure, if she was, she
would tell. —Christian Union.
Views on Immigration.
Believe me, Mr. Editor, when I say
that I most heartily endorse your criti
cisms upon the views of Professor Maury
on the subject of immigration. That dis
tinguished gentleman, I fear, has taken
too much of a one-sided view of this
matter when he assumes that we must
look to Europe and to Europe alone for
population, labor, and capital. I am
aware that a heavy per cent, of the peo
ple of the Southern States sympathize
with him in these extraordinary opinions,
and I believe I have the key to the un
locking of the mystery —that is to say,
I have the reason why the Southern peo
ple adopt his views. It is this, to be em
phatic and outright on the subject: The
prejudice engendered by the recent war
toward the Northern States, precludes,
for the present, any well organized sys
tem to secure emigration from that quar
ter. Hence Prof. Maury, as the appa
rent mouth-piece of the Southern States,
takes the ground that they must apply
to Europe for this quota of immigrants.
First, let me remark, that the South
must get rid of her prejudices toward a
people who could be of incalculable ben
efit to her. I make this assertion very
deliberately, and purely from a business
stand-point. It is folly, worse than folly,
to “bite off our noses to spite our faces.”
It is childish in the extreme.
The South, too, will live to see this,
but she ought to see it now. She is suf
fering prodigiously on account of it.
There is no use in chafing, fretting and
frowning about matters which amount to
nothing. We must not allow our pas
sions to get the better of our understand
ing. Business first. We need enter
prise. Therefore we must take the
straight road to these ends.
I do not object, of course, to the se
curing all the .European immigration pos
sible. That is exactly right, but when it
is proposed, inferentially at least, that we
must give the Northern States the go-by,
in the prosecution of this important work,
then I demur. I have my reasons for it,
which I will proceed to give.
The people of the Northern States
have energy; not only that, but tact, in
genuity, skill, and perseverance. Call
them what you may; denounce them as
you choose; associate them with thieves,
cut-throats, liars, and villains, and they
still have a superabundance of that grand
element of life which makes them emi
nently and proudly successful in all they
undertake. They have grown rich where
my Southern friends would scarcely have
made a living. They have done it by in
domitable energy and their unceasing
and patient toil and perseverance. I
would be glad if we had ten in our sec
tion where we now have only one. Their
native life and stirring activity would
benefit us thousands upon thousands of
dollars. They would give anew impetus
to every department of industry. They
have earned, in an honest way, the envi
able character of being a progressive race.
You can’t tie them down—you can’t keep
them on their backs—Sampson like, they
will rise up in their strength and snap
the cords that bind them. The “univer
sal Yankee” is the most anomalous crea
ture on the globe. Turn him loose where
you may, either with or without money,
and if he does not succeed it will be be
cause there is no money to be had. His
vim, his pluck, shrewdness, and his
prolific means of getting along, will not
only secure him a competency, but a for
tune.
We need Northern people in the South,
and especially in East Tennessee, for an
other reason —they have capital. There
are millions of dollars lying idle in that
section, or comparatively so. ,Wc have
taken no pains to procure it. On the
contrary, we have done all we could to
drive them from us. They are not likely
to bring it here and invest it while we
are telling them that wo don’t want them.
Ever since the oloße of.the war, it seems
that we have been painfully deficient in a
sagacious policy. We have used no di
plomacy whatever. We have fallen back
upon our dignity until we have well
nigh ruined ourselves. To-day we might
have had capital iu abundance if we had
sought it in the right way. Paupers
THE METHODIST ADVOCATE. FEBRUARY 7, 1872.
ought not to be too stiff-necked! The
war had swept all our visible means out
of existence, and we should have been
sharp enough to have subordinated the
great resources of even our enemies.
We could have done it, and may do it
yet, if we do not get into a “wild goose
chase” after European capital to the ut
ter exclusion of Northern capital. It is
easier to reach the Northern States than
Europe. We can tap a thousand men
sooner there than we can fifty beyond
the ocean. Then there are a thousand
inquiries coming from the North, con
cerning our country, where we have none
from Europe. Indeed, in Europe there
is little known of Tennessee. Perhaps
it is regarded as a sort of frontier State,
just on the verge of civilization, semi
civilized itself without a single advantage,
and therefore unworthy of attention.
There is help at our very doors. We
have hundreds and hundreds of wide
awake neighbors just across the Ohio,
who would come to our relief if we would
only invite and urge them to come. But
if we adopt Professor Maary’s theory,
we will never get them.
C. W. Charlton,
Commissioner of Immigration.

A Lesson for Cotton Planters.
A leading cotton factor from Macon,
stated to us the other day the following
striking circumstance: A cotton planter,
whose crop was more than two hundred
bales of cotton, came to him (the factor)
and asked if he could put him in the way
of borrowing one thousand dollars of
which he stood in urgent need. “Yes,”
said the factor. He went out and pro
cured the money for his friendj and it
was from a man who always had a sur
plus of money, and who made, usually,
fifteen bales of cotton, but he always
made a large amount of provisions for
sale. The large cotton planters were his
chief customers. This man is steadily
growing rich—the large cotton planters
are growing steadily poor. Planters,
think of it! Here is a case of a two or
three hundred-bale planter borrowing
from one who makes fifteen bales. This
is not a solitary case! Do you not know
of more than one large cotton planter,
who would be very glad to borrow SI,OOO
at this moment from some of the “hog
and hominy men” in your neighborhood?
We asked the factor referred to, if the
debt of the largo cotton planters to the
banks and factors was heavy. “Yes,”
was the reply, “it is fearfully heavy.”
We then asked if there was much in
debtedness on the part of those who made
small crops of cotton and large crops of
provisions? “No,” said he, “on the con
trary, these men, usually, as a class,
have some money to lend.”
The lesson to be learned is obvious.
The crop arrangements for another year
should be made in view of the results we
have considered. It should be the first
object to raise all the food necessary for
man or beast on the plantation. We
know that it is a favorite theory with
some, that it is cheaper to buy bread and
meat than it is to make it. But how
does the theory work ? It ends in the
three hundred borrowing money from
the fifteen bale man. This is tne practi
cal result.
But then pride comes in: “I should be
ashamed to say I made only fifteen bales
of cotton,” says the planter. But would
you not be more ashamed to have to go
to the fifteen-bale man and beg him to
lend you $1,000? We must get out of
some of our old notions. We must learn
to measure our success, not by the num
ber of bales we make, for perhaps, when
it is made, it does not belong to us, but
to the factor or bank. We must make
something else besides cotton, not only
to eat and to wear, but a surplus to sell.
We must measure our success by the
amount of clear money saved at the end
of the year, provided it be not at the ex
pense of the soil. You buy mules, pre
pare to raise enough for your purposes.
You buy corn, have some hereafter to
sell. You buy bacon, raise your own
pork, beef and mutton. You buy fertil
izers, hereafter let the fertilizers only
supplement the amount you are able to
procure from the plantation. Let your
cotton be clear. That this may be done,
there can be no doubt. Formerly, the
object was to have as little bread and
meat consumed on the plantation as pos
sible. Now, it should be as much as
possible. Provisions raised on the place
should pay a large proportion of wages.
There is now a provision market on every
plantation.
Changes in established practices are,
we know, made slowly. While the plant
ers are in debt, it must be remembered
that this debt, first and foremost, must
be paid. How this indebtedness is to be
extinguished, it requires greater wisdom
than we possess. But by degrees we can
fall into the system here advocated. If
it does not lead to rapid, it will, uudoubt
edlp, lead to certain fortune. —The Plan
tation.
Teach your Children to tell the
Truth. —Dr. Johnson said: “Accustom
your children to a strict attention to the
truth, even in the most minute particu
lars. If a thing happen at one Window,
and they, when relating it, say that it
happened at another, do not let it pass,
but instantly check them; you do not
know where deviation from truth will
end. It is more from carelessness about
truth, than from intentional lying, that
there is so much falsehood iu the world.”

NEW BOOKS JUST OUT.
Jesus Christ: His Life and Work. By
E. De Pressense, D.D. Translated by
Annie Harwood. 12m0.,pp.320. Price,sl.
In the preface to this work the author
says: “This popular edition of the Life of
Christ differs from the work that I pub
lished a year ago (and which in eight
months reached its third edition) by the
absence of all that was purely scientific.
It appeared to me desirable in this edition,
which addresses itself to readers of the
most various classes, to avoid, as far as
possible, all debatable and controversial
points. I hope that in this new form this
book, in which I have embodied the most
cherished convictions, will meet with a
wide circulation.”
The following are some of the notices of
the press of the author’s larger work:
Pressense is not only brilliant and epigram
matic, but his sentences flow on from page to
page with sustained eloquence which never
wearies the reader. — Spectator.

THE LAND OF THE VEDA;
BEING personal reminiscences of
INDIA:
Its People, Religions, Castes, Thugs, and Fa
kirs; its Principal Monuments, Palaces, and
Mausoleums; the Condition of Woman under
Hindoo Law; the Incidents of the Great Sepoy
Rebellion, and the Overthrow of the Mogul Dy
nasty, with their effects on Christianity and
Civilization, and the Founding of the Missions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. With a
Map of India and thirty-nine Illustrations on
Steel and Wood, chiefly from Photographs;
Statistical Tables of Christian Missions, and a
Glossary of Indian Terms used in this work
and in Missionary Correspondence. By Rev.
William Butler, D.D. Pp. 550. Price, $4.
This is the most interesting volume on
India that we have ever read. It is a royal
octavo of 550 pages, in large, clear type,
and beautifully printed and bound. It is
published by Carlton & Lanahan, 805
Broadway, New York, in their most excel
lent style. They have spared no expense
in producing it. There are forty-five beau
tiful illustrations, chiefly photographs of
buildings, groups of men and women, and
of individuals. There is just enough of his
torical sketching to enliven and illustrate
the descriptions of men and things, man
ners and opinions. It is a missionary vol
ume, and gives a very satisfactory ac
count of Christian missions in India. The
beautiful map much assists the reader to
understand the text, and the ten tables of
statistics at the close of the volume are
authentic and very valuable. It is, proba
bly, the most valuable contribution of the
day to missionary literature. It ought to
have a quick and wide circulation.
FOOTPRINTS OF ROGER WILLIAMS. A
Biography, with Sketches of Important
Events in Early New England History with
which he was connected. By Rev. Z. A.
Mudge, author of “Witch Hill,” “Views
from Plymouth Rock,” “Christian States
man,” etc. Five Illustrations, 16mo.
Mr. Mudge is a well-known and favorably
esteemed writer of this class of literature. He
excels in description of character and incident.
Though not strictly an original writer, he is by
no means a copyist. Making himself inti
mately acquainted with the more voluminous
works on which he treats,he passes the informa
tion thus obtaiued through the alembic of his
own mind, and in his own clear, attractive
style, presents a condensed view of the subject
in hand, generally accompanied with a few
striking religious thoughts wherever called for.
He has done good service in thus preparing for
young readers an unusually attractive sketch
of this distinguished founder of Rhode Island
and sturdy advocate of religious freedom. The
work is “gotten up” in the usually handsome
style of the publications of this house.

Write Briefly.—Every week we are
sorely perplexed to get into the columns of
The Methodist Advocate all that is im
portant to appear in them. Scarcely a
week passes without something having
been crowded out. The whole South is
our field, and all must have a hearing,
and if all write briefly, very briefly—
briefly as they possibly can —they will
help us greatly, and be sure to see their
articles inserted early. We are glad to
hear from every preacher, in every Con
ference, but we exhort, Write briefly , and
VERY PLAINLY.
