One day. in the fall of 1792, when General Washington was President of the United States, a company of Georgia planters happened to be as sembled at the bouse, near Savannah, of Mrs. Nathaniel -Greene, widow of the, famous General Greene of the Revolution. - Several of -these plant-? ers had been officers under the com mand, of the general, and they had called, naturally enough to pay their reepecta to his widow. . - The conversation turned upon .the depressed condition of the Southern States : since the close - of the war. The planters were generally in debt, their lands were mortgaged, their products afforded little profit, and many ot tue younger" and more en terprising people were moving away. The canse-f .this state of things, these.' planter agreed, was the diffi culty of raising cotton with profit. owing to the great labor required in separating the fibres of the cotton from the seeds. The fibres of the cotton adhere so tightly to the seeds, that to get one DOund of clean cotton, without w.mt- iu'gany, used to require a whole day's , labor. It was this fact that rendered tha raiding of cotton so little profita ble, and kept- the Southern States from sharing in the foeperity enjoy- j ed by the States of the North afier the close pf the Revolutionary war. . When the gentlemen had t?en con versing for some time, the idea wai started that perhaps this work could be done by a machine. Mrs. Greene then remarked: "Pentlemen, apply to my young friend, Mr. Whitney; he can make anything." . Few words have ever been spoken on this globe that have had such im portant and memorable consequences; as this simple observation of Mrs. Nathaniel Greene. Eli Whitney, of whom she spoke, was a young Yankee, bom in Massa chusetts and developed in Connecti cut, who had come to Georgia tc teach, and having been taken sick,. bad been invited by this hospitable lady to reside in her house till be should recover. He was the son of a poor farmer, and had worked his way through college without assist ance as xankee boys often do. From early boyhood he bad exhibi ted wonderful skill in .mechanics, and in college he used to repair the philosophical apparatus with remark able nicety to the great adxairation of professors aud students. During his residence with Mrs. flreene he had made for her an in- gehK,!i3 tambour-frame,, on a new principle; &n yVell as many curious toys for her childrbP- Hence her adviceT "Apply to my young friend, jur. wnuney; ne can mate any thing. . . . . She now introduced Mf. Whitney to her friends, who described to him the difficulties under which they labored, ne told them ho had never seen a pod of cotton in his life. With out giving them -any promises, he re solved to procure some raw cotton forthwith, and see what ho could do with it. Searching about tb wharves of Savannah, he found,, at length, some uncleaned cotton, and taking home a bundle of it.in his hands, he shut himself up m a room in the basement, and set to work to invent the machine required. .

Having!set up the mysterious machine in ashed, he invited a number of planters, to come and witness -its operation. Its success ' was complete. The gentle men saw, with unbounded .wonder and delight, that one man, with this young Yankee's engine, could clean aa -.much, in one day as a man could clean by hand in a whole winter. The cotton grown on a large planta lion couia be separated from tho seed in a few days, which before required the constant labor of a hundred .hands for several months, Thus waa the cottou gin invented. 5 ; Happy Hoosiers. l m. limmOm.

'-Well, 'geutlemen, 111 tell you," said the Kentuck ian, replenishing the spacious hollow of his cheek with a quid of tobacco. "That thar dog was thegrealest b'ar hunter of Keia tuck.

I know'd I couldn't shoot 'em all at once, and I know'd if I killed either of. the old 'uns, t'other would make 'it me, for I could see they were mor tal hungry. So says I, 'Rip what'll we do!' Rip knowed what I was sayin', and, without waitin' to hold any confab about it, he guy a growl And pitched right in among them. With that I let, fly at the she b'ar, cos I know'd she was the worst when the cubs was about. Over she rolled as dead as a mackerel.

At fust I thought he was going to tackle me, and says I, i 'Rip, that's downright ungrateful.'. ..With that ha sneaked off in a haff, but I could easily see he was terrible mad yot.

They know the one who stands videtto Has never feared nor faltered yet. Ah, brave the hearts that fearless bold The lonesome vigils of the night; The clash of battle makes one bold. And timid souls are rouseJ in figat; But here no battle sounds there bo, - All silence, gloom, and mystery. Alone; no, not alone, in thought He sees around him faces dear; " . Today the mail a letter brought, And wife and babes are with him here. The fair-faced mother penned the line And signed it "Papa's Valentino."

An old maxim, ''Anger manages everything badly," is illustrated by the conduct of the lion when irri tated. He thus deprives himself -of an opportunity of stealior a march upon his prey, which, alarmed by the beast's violent manifestations, seeks safety in flight. A writer on natural history shows ' by reference to the bee that anger has its usee, though it may be a bad manager when uncontrolled. A hundred lazy animals are fond of honey and dislike labor. Thy would intrude upon the hive and carry oil its sweets, if bess did not have stings and werenot readily ir ritated by interference with their stores. If anger were not a part of bur con- stitutions, says the naturalists, ap plying the bees sting and iritation. the land would be overrun with rogues and dastards; the weak would be bullied and the defenceless robbed.

A late respected general manager of the St. Paul road onjone occasion appeared at the repair shops of the company in Milwaukee and becom ing interested in the work of one of the mechanics remarked: "Younjj man, it seems to me you are not do ing that correctly.". The workman looked up with supreme contempt at the stranger and replied promptly It'a none of your buaintss, you blamed idiot."
