!VOiiiaji, who, wili an air, Jiulf of wonder
and half of imtitlereiir'e, replied to JoW
in,uiries, by (lircxKng him to a room up
stairs. lie proceeded thither, and was ad-
niittcd by a woman of exeeeilingly delicate
apliearanee, whose start nt surprise and
anguish, ut once proclaimuJ her the mother
of the euHeriti' child.
" f-he is nut dead, ma'am ; said John,
I ha-tenin' to relieve her probable fears.
" she only fainted.
He placed the light form on a couch, to
which the mother directed him, and waited
for u return of tranquility to permit him to
obey the la-t orders of his mistress. And
while he waited, dishonest heart was deeply
moved by the lamentations of the alllieted
woman, in she strove, for some time vainly,
to recall her inanimate child to life.
I " My little, sprightly Mary," she said,
' this, alone, wa- wanting to complete my
wretchedness. You are my onlj' treasure
hope a!mo-t support ; tor how, or why
should 1 have labored to sustain my miser
able life, if yours had not depended on it !"
Alarmed at the continued insensibility of
the i iiild, John ventured to a-1; j
"Hud vou not fetter send for a doctor, i
l,,,,':.,,," I II nil, l,.r .,.. , 'I,-.., lie I C , '
will tell me which one to call." ' i
"A doetor."' respond -il the woman,
somewhat wildly. "Oh, if 1 hal but a ihd- j

I
winters , mhums, ami How hovv we are I
even to subsi.it, I do not know. Hut let me
try to say (iod s will be done. And to feel
it, too," she continued, sti'UL"'ling to compose
her-elf.
Little Mary, at length, moved, and open
ed Ik r eyes. An cxclamutioii of transport
from the mother, proclaimed this plea-ing
truth to John, who, on afterward, made
known the directions he had received r
'Jieeting the errand t i Mi-s Smith. The
poer won. an was affected l y this kindness
noma st rang. r. Mie ipiicklj- prepared a
note, with which John ha-teiied to the house
ol the dressmaker, .'lis.. Miutli, on reading ;
the liote handed her by John, immediately
ej,elaiiiied
, " How fortunate ! Mrs. Kerry's own dre.

peiid on having it before Christina-., and on '
In ing satislii'd with it, too. Mrs. Sanlord ;
is our very best baud, and I have taken
measures to insure her to have it done
punctually."' I
John a already aware of the " mea-- i
ures" which she had adopted. lie received
the required patterns; but, instead of re-
tun.iii'.' dir. ctiy to Mr.. Sauford's he bent
his steps t i the residence of Mrs. llcrry. ,
lie was an attached and soinew hat privileg

She was deeply
moved bv his desei itdioii of the mother of

over her child. 'I he name, too, uf Salilord,

he had learned at Miss Smith's, the lady's

painful m-ua!ty. She was conscious that

en.leavorin-. alternately, to soothe the little
sufferer, and to draw strength for herself
from the only true source, by halt uttered
petitions to the Throne of Mercy.
Hut, hark ! A rap comes gently at the
door.
Mrs. Sahford opened it, supposing that
John bad probably returned from Miss
Smith's. John was not alone. A lady
entered the room, a single glance at whose
b, nevidenl countenance, assured Mrs. San
ford that Heaven had sent ,,.r a friend.
John wa-, forthwith, di.-patelicd for a phy
sician while he was absent, Mrs. Kerry
obtained many particulars of the sad his-
tl"
f Mrs. Sanloid whose full heart was
pen to sympathy, aud readily poured its
errors into thecal- of the ag'iit ot mercy.
She was a native of a distant state; she
had married early, -Hid with bright prospects
of happiness ; hut her husband jieldedto
the temptation of wine, and wa.ted first his
own patrimony, and then hers, in the pro-iiii-euous
extravagance vv hieh intemperance
commonly induces. He then returned, bring
ing Ids wife and child to this, his native
city. Soon after their arrival he died as
a jury declared an accidental death, leav
ing her to encounter the ills of poverty a
loiie, and in a city of strangers.
Mrs. Hcrry listened with interest to the
widow's niornfiil recital j many particulars
of which strengthened a conviction nlncl
she had gathered from her name, and from
a closer ,erual of little Mary's features,
that the faulty husband and father ha
been anintiinatocoiiipiinioii of herowii cliild

M rs. Sanford could not resist tnis generous
proposal. She remained an honored guest
with Mrs. Merry during the winter, and in
the spring, objecting decidely, to a life of
dependence, she opened a school, in which,
patronized by Mrs. Kerry and her numer

proved to be a large one the receipts

v. hicli brought forward all C"lt-.,i made not
only last year, but tlio e cr..ps, and
paiti.f crops which were held hack, for
various reasons, in the counlry. It was im
portant to those who take an interest iu sm h

possible, how this w.-i. that is, how much
of old cotton entered into those receipts of
! U. Ol.i.OOtl bales.
Three million bales in all the cotton
region, w as reganied as not far from the
mark. Well, if thi- crop reaches :1,0ml,.
000, it is "00,000 t0 000,000 actually larg, r
than last year's. And, if we contemplate
that increase by coinpar-soii, we coii-!e.-s
it is au erroneous one. A crop one

'lhe safest mode to arrive at the actual
annual increase of production is to take the
last live years of production in the aggre
gate, and the live years then preceding in
their aggr gat '. Th; sm ill.-r aggregate
sul traded from the larger h aves the ten

the other. This per edit divided by- live

It is a fact, iu which ail engaged iu rai.-iug
and selling or having cotton should know,
that the annual average increase of one year
over another, fir the la t live year.-, that of
the preceding five years was not three and
a half per cent, that this is. a wonderful in
cr. a-e. 'I Lerel'ore ll the clop readies M,
OotyjOO bales it wili actually be about ten
per cent heavier than la.-t . ar, and six
and a half per cent above the av, rage ;
which, as bef .re remarked, it-elf a heavy
average increase.
As stated in the article to lr. Cb-ud, I
think the reciipt- from to-day forward will

what has been received after this ill other
