24 Bto Jamflg (BixtU. 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. —Knoxville ( Tenn.) Chronicle. 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.” ! BTQfek alLthe new subsoriboßsVbu can for The Methodist Advocate.

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.

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. NEW BOOKS FOR CHILDREN. Just published : Aunt Deborah’s Library. Six volumes in a box.
