I trust this may be so, as the present position of public affairs justifies and demands it.

The masses'of the people should be arouse d and warned acrainst the en croachments of despotic power, now readv to enter the citadel of liberty. I trust that you may pai wuii an inspired tonenie. and that. your voice may penetrate every just aud patriotic breast throughout the land.

Some injrcjiious trinket makers have carried their achievements still farther. One of them makes brooches with the most curious designs and fig ures which are kept in motion bv tinv e-alvanie batteries carried by the wearer. These batteries arc constructed of very small strips of zinc or platinum, or of zinc and carbon moistened with an acid solution of the sulphate of mercury.

How to get the Boys to stay on the Farm The boys catch new ideas much more ranidlv than their fathers, and, with the impulsivcucss oi youtn, want to test them. They go to the fairs and sec the fine stock, the new tools, the premium fruits and vegetables. They read the papers, n nicy nave them at home, and li they have not them at borne, thev borrow them People, who read at all, cannot very well keep uiemseives in me aarK in regard to the changes that are coming over husbandry. They do not want to break their backs over the scythe, when a mowing machine can do the work better, and at a tithe of the expense. They want subsoil plows, tile drains, and barn cellars. They want bloodstock in the stable, and in the sty. They want to move a little faster aud .to do business on a little larger scale. The boys have the facts and the anrumcnts on their side, aiul if vou want to retain them upon the farm, you must keep up witn tue times, and make farming a live business. Another thine, the boys want an interest in the business, and the sooner you give them an investment in the farm or its stock, the more likely vou will be to make farmers of" them. Tt is true, the law gives you a right to the avails of their labors until they reach their majority. It may be true that these services arc no more than a fair compensation for the expenses of their childhood. The intercourse of narents and chil dren should not always be graduated by the le gal scale. You do not want your son for a ser vant, but fora companion, and a support iu your declining years. You want to attach him by affection and interest to the soil that he culti vates. lieriu, then, eurlv to identify his inter- i f ests with your business, as if he was under no .1 i:.n... v. ... i t. uv-iauuuB iu juu. it ne lancies stoc, give aim what he likes, and let the increase be hia.

To give employment to - o-.- t w 000 operatives, she has looked to our Searllaad auu uuu-euce plantations. In a single year sh actually paid out 812,000,000 for . a gupply. These facts sufficiently indicate the importance of our possessing the monopoly of supply, aud of doing all in our power to regain the ground w lost by the war. That result is certainly not to be reached by misleading our cotton planter as to their real fiituatiou. To tell tbem that there is nothing to fear from Kgypt is a fallacy.

There is a point bey oud which it becomes more profitable for that country to send England breadstuff's than cotton. It ia to that point our planters must force this rival. o v ui cuuuiwiDiiuu uiaae cut , cru 1 D0X1 Ior 1,10 lact that hUC canD0' devote bevond a gjvcn a(,rc;jge t() cotU)n without- n , ,n,I?rt, tUe ccreals for houw con- sumption, her rivalry would be eminently- threatening.

When the Sultan encouraged cultU vation in Morocco, in 18G3, American aud Egyp tian seeds were imported from England, whiflt jointly produced an article claimed to be equal to the American in quality. Uut the actual cotton operations of Egypt since J8G1 are the best test of her importance as a competitor, and the results of which she is capable in an emer gency. A nd it m ust always be remembered that England is dissatisfied with her dependence upon America for raw cotton, and will lend all possible aid to that country which offers her the prospect of independence of us. Egypt furnished that nation with the following amounts in tho years named : 1801 11.000,000 lbs. . , 59,000,000 lbs. ' 1803 . iK.,000,000 His. 1801 125,000,000 lbs. .18C5 177,000,000 lbs.. These figures are official, and mav l.e tm-torl In 18G4 England paid Egypt over G 1,000,000 for cotton. The ve.ir before the war he v.aid her less than 87,000,000. There is a lemon in these fi'rures.

The ultimate result cannot be donitei. We ore bound to be master of the cotton market if we use our advantages judiciously. To recover lost ground at a single stroke we must throw a full erop into the market; nothing less will suf fice. The planters of the South must bend all their energies to effect this. If they exert them selves they will win, if not they will lose. The prize is certainly worth the effort. ' The losses on a short cr.p one year will be compensated by the gains i a full crop the next orws. Above all, it should be remembered that lhe reign of Radicalism will not last forever, aud that there " is a period coming when we are to produce an annual crop of 5,000.000 biles, to manufacture it for ourselves, and then couvey the fabrics to the great markets of the world by- American means of transportation. England may set that down as a fixed fact. Act. York World.
