Tn-TO.N- of Cleveland, Tenn., advertised lat year a new kind of sugar cane, Cana "dian, we believe. Sjnie of our citizens invested. It pro ed to b3 nothing hut Atricau cane, and very interior at that. ITc is now advertising "1? iden pro lific corn," pretty extensively in this State. It may hi well enough tor people to investi gate, before investing largely. J Inmbusging is so ojiily prac ticed, that people cannot be too "iiarded in their purcIi.ibCff of ' "new notion. ffoni) oracouxsEL. Good advice is about "the cheapest tiling in the market, and the best fdo, if scrupulous ly followed, ivien it is sound andjifdicioiH. In the tall of the year, when a plethoric crop of cotton becomes an assured fact, grfibrdiiur -unmistakable demonstratioi! that prices nust,1 according to the inexorable laws of supply and demand, rule low, nearly every tanner is ready to exclaim, and does exclaim : ".Well, I shall ccrtanly plant less cotton next yqarK than I have planted this." , It will be necessary in a very short time, for every farmer to come to a determination for himself, on tlio much mooted question of pitching a crop. It is not the fault ol government, that the cotton market is liter ally choked and glutted with this article, by an over produc tion of the snowy staple. The farmers have no one to blame for the low prices, but them selves. According to the pres ent, civilization of 'the world, and until the 'necessity of dis tributing "nior, pocket hand kerchiefs," among the heathen hy'inissio'.iaries. thill cease, and Jhis same heathen shall assume full toilets, cotton must and will rule low," as long as four millions of bales aro annually made iu America. This is as inevitable, as it the fiat had been pronounced by Jehovah himself. Will our farming communi ties, in spit of all the hitter experience through which they liHve passed in the Ia?t few vears i still persist in over. proJ'uctioa ? We. have heard 'intelligent farmers assert, time and again, that it cost more th in tenccnt3 a pound to make cottou. Ljp ton has not averaged this much, during the present commercial year, by more than a cent. It was hoped and believed by ma ny, that'tha new organizationr known as Grangers, could, and would do something, to prevent the suicidal pjliey- pursued by the cotto.i planters As yet, so far as the general public are ad vised, they havjsr' accomplished nothing in the direction allud ed, to. Th? irnth 'is, every farmer must 'determine this question of cotton planting for himsclf. Every farmer must act tor him self, just as hewould on a ques tion involving morals, iot ev ery planter., apply tlio moral qnotation, withaslight varia tion,"when about to determine the amount of cotton he will plant: "I know not what course others in ly take, but as tor me and my house, we will" plant less cotton than heretofore!

The boy who spends an hour each evening lonnging idly on' the street cdrncr wastes, in tho course ot a year, three hundred and sixty five hours, which, if applied to study, would famil arize him with the rudiments of almost any of the familiar scien ces. In addition to wasting an hour each evening, he spends ten cents for a cigar, which is usual ly the case ; the amount thus worse than wasted would pay for ten of tho lcadtng peiiodiodicals ot the country. Boys', think ot these things. Think ot how much time and money you are wasting, and for what? The gratification afforded by the loiinge otrthe corner or the cigav, is not only temporary but pos itively hurtful. You cannot in dulge in them without seriously injuring yourselves You ac quire idle and wasteful habits, which will cling to you with each succeeding tear. You may in alter life shake ficm oil, but tho probabilities are that the habits thus formed in early life will rennin with you to your dying day. Bp wlrncd, then, in time, and resolie that, as the hour spent iu idleness is gone forever, you will improve each passing one, and thereby fit yourself for Usefulness and hap piness.
