is a paramount duty, for fanners :cs for merchants or professionaLjnen, but it is insisted tluit, within his means, the farmer should prudently improve his surroundings and enjoy his existence. Our moralist says: lie has nothing to fear and nobody to envy. Of one thing ho is sure all his days, and that is a suf- 1 (icient living ; and that is what other men are never sure of without a single pang of doubt or aprehension. There is his land : there is his home ; there is all the animate and inanimate machinery of his establishment, and for the rest he looks in profound trust to the bounty of Heaven," If Southern farmers arc not sure of a sufficient living it is because they have not industry or talent like Mr. Uhl, and it may be that in the hurry to get rich, they have become the prey of speculative sharks at Chicago or New York. We dare say that many a Southern farmer to-day is in distress because of yielding to baits held out in cotton futures or other deceptions of that character. The curse of the day, demoralizing everything in town or country, is the worship of money and the rabid desire lo possess it by some royal road. That lust of wealth has distempered our people, merchants and f.irnters, to a great degree, and its pursuit has led to disas

Some of the most elegant private balls ever given in this city took place :it his hotel. On such occasions he was more solicitous about the eclat of the ball than the profit to himself; in fact he would be so lavish in t'tc use of costly (lowers and the articles included in the menu that he would use all the money paid for the entertainment. lie felt honored when the Spanish Minister and bis wife celebrated the first marriage of the present king of Spain by a grand bull in his spacious rooms. In these same rooms Secretary of State Blaine gave the ball to the French and German guests who had come to unite with us in the centennial celebration of the surrender of I'ornwallis at Yorktown. ill* Wortnly always remained sincerely attatched to his Southern friends, and prefered them to all others. 1'ntil Mrs. Johd B.

ntes to happiness. 'J'he fault with only too many of the fanners in this section is not parsemony luit extravagance. When their crops turn out well they spend their money freely. What they need is not only the I'hi method of cultivating the earth, but an avoidance of the pitfalls that beset their path outsidc the farm. We are firmly of opinion that the man of sense who makes his farm pay, and who does not try to get rich via a broker's or factor's office, is, in all essential matters, if sober and moral, one of the happiest of mankind. ?Chronicle, <tnd Constitutionalist.

At about twelve o'clock a very interesting and creditable exhibition of endurance on the part of n colored man was given.
