The benefit's of growing green crops and hurvincr them in the soil for the benefit of future crops, nre too well understood to bo questioned by anyone; uu has opened a question in agricultural economy that has not been settled so 2! satisfactorily.

A Pictnreaque Icscriptiou ol His Peculiarities. From tho Hancock (Ky.) Slebsengcr. We delight in tho old-fashioned sturdy unflinching Democrat, lie is the sovereign who has controlled with Mich singular success the destinies of this great country during the whole of her fortunate existence the last decade being excepted from the happy era. Familiar with the traditions of his party, he draws from them its car dinal principles, and advocates those that are still pertinent, heartily and f earlessly. Such doctrines as have ac complished their mission or are no longer fitted for modern uses he lays aside as the ancient jewels of his party to be paraded rarely even as curious ornaments and kept until political rev olution .shall develop other uses for tiieui. fc'trong in his dcuotion to truth, the embodiment of which he sees in his political theory, he revolts at co:n promkc, regarding it as a .sacrifice of principle on an unholy altar, the in cense from which but clouds the po litical atmosphere until the sacrificors may stumble on destruction. The consistent, " imtcrrified,v determined, earnest Democrat, is the man after our o.vn heart.' Bat occasionally gross exaggerations of this excellent individual are .seen, and the object of their creation is not altogether obviou. If every party needed (and po.-.ibly they do) a cer- ti'i'i l.uuiber of bubs to but at locomo- t:cs.thcir eminent utility is conc -ded. , i i i.ocoiu-.mves, iioveer, may re Moppeu j more ellectu.illy and certainly more .-.afelv in other wavs; as K-uHluI'..-m may be checked in, re .-I'OcdiK' bv oilier means ure!y a. id loa.i itiC'se ! the !m;i.:Ctlcah!e Iiom.nr it is ex'.-..;, toidd o:d" iVil .ll e- M t iv ue .

Now this plan of living away at the enemy whenever and wherever he appears is easy and attractive, but not alw ays judicious. This sort of a Dem ocrat is not unlike his opposite, the pioneer lladu:al, in his total abandon ment to his side of the negro question. In every! hing relating to Cutt'ee he sees a " stepping stone " to negro equality, and even forgetting that the 'negro testimony' question is purely judicial, he is ready to "readout " of the party anybody who refuses to see, as he does, its absolute identity with negro suffrage. In fact, those who ditfer with him, even minutely, in any regard are political spies who deserve to be hung, but, by a merciful conces sion on hi-, put, may only be "drum med out" of the party. This individ ual in Tcunes-i e would support Coy. Harris for Senator with a certainty of defeat, rather than Andy John-am with the assurance of victory. Ilo only goes half wav in learning to " laoor and to wait." In short, he mistakes prejudices for prin- ipies, ignores fact-, struggles for impossibilities, revels in j political platitudes, has a remedy for j every political evil generally the j ame for all foretells political results i with the in"st absolute confidence. and. w hctlier correctly or not, is al ways ready to exclaim, "J told you so i" Ilk firmness of purpose and unyield ing devotion to his party, however, are to be admired, and a few of his kind may possibly do well in it.-, ranks as faithful sentinels, but it ia to !e hoped that he is neither growing " more so " nor " more numerous," for too great a " meanness " of him mh'ht be fatal to Democracy. Mr. r.itdey writ s to the Tribune of a talk with Carlyle that the Inter de-canted on the conditio:; of Aineai ca in terms less remarkable for flattery than force.

The two General Assemblies of tho Presbyterian Church of the United States w hich met in this., city last May commissioned their moderators to draft a reply to the Pope's intitation to all Protestants to embrace th opportunity afforded by the approach; ng Council to return to communion wit l the Roman Church. This reply has just been made public. It sets out by declaring that the Presbyterians are not heretics, be cause they receive all the dc ?friies con tained in the Apostle's C; e.ed and set forth by the first six genial councils. Neither are they 8clu-.inc.tjs; for they believe in the true Catholic unity, re cognize as members of the visible Church all w ho profess the true religion, and are willing to maintain communion with them provided they do not exact as a condition tho profession or perfor mance of anything contrary to the Word of Gol. They cannot consent, however, to participate in the delibera tions of the Council or unite with the Pope's invitations, because they hold tho following principles which the Church of Home condemns: 1. That the Bible is only the rule of faith- 2. The light of private judgment. .'1. The universal priesthood of believers I. That the Apostlesnip is not perpetu al, that modern pi elates have no au thority to teaoh or rule the Church, aud mat tllo l,isop oi Lome nas no valid . i . . i i i ( i i iil claim t) supremacy, jurist aiono iicwj , the liead of tiio Church.

Hail Soys 3Iake Had 3Ien. Many years ago, a little boy livol in ancient liome, who was very cruel to harmless aninnls. lie delighted to torture and kill flies, and would pursue the little ereatires hour alter hour with a pin to pierce them through, aud see them flutter and die in agony. Do you think that a hoy so cruel became a kind, loving man 't '.Not ho. As he grow older, ho exhibited the same cruel ! disposition toward nen. At last he j was made emperor of Home, and then 1 hi3 cruelty advanced it a fearful rate. This man was the boo iy Nero, who killed hia own wife, ail ordered his mother to bo assassinated. Nor was much in thia all. Ho delightul so cruel things, that ho irdered the city to be set on lire just .to see how it would look. And whci it was burn ing, ho seated, himscf upon a high tower, and sang and p'ayed ur-ou his lvre. Was this stranje ? Is not a ' cruel boy likely to bcomo a cruel I man? Killing men in manhood is only ! a further development f killing flies in childhood. An aed sea cay.fctm, vho had snent a lonir life uj.on oeoau, said to a lady, " On snv'ooard, 1 can teil in a very short ti1"0 what any sailor was in his boyhood " It was because the boy i-i fa-,er to the man." He adle". : " I ii;ivariably that a bal sailor is ma(p out of a bad boy." When he sr a reckless, profane, vicious " son A tho deep," he at once concluded that he was little better when a lad. Now this is just what might be expect . ed. It is just what is seen in other things. Poor wool or cotton makes poor cloth. Poor cloth makes a poor : coat. Poor farms produce poor crops. Poor timber makes a poor house. ' And so wicked children make wicked 1 men and women. Jfo?f.rJ9 Trc.wry. Childhood. There was a time when I was rery small, When my whole frame was hut aa ell heigM, Sweetly, as I recall it, tears do fall, And therefore I recall it with delight. 1U I f ported ia my tender mother's arms, And rode a horseback on best fathers' knee; Alike were sorrows, passions and alarm"?, And gold, and Greek, and love unknown to me. i Then seemed to me this world far less in size, Likewise it sinned to me less wicked far; Like points in ho&Tcn, I Baw the stars arise, And longedor wings, that I might catch a tar. . I saw the moon behind an inland fadeftf And thought, " Oh, were I on that ialaad thuro ! . . I could find out of what the moon Li made, i-'iud out how iaz&e it is, how round, and how fair !' Wondering, I saw Ufcd'Ssifn, thrcli western Sink in tho ocean's golden lap at night ; And yet, upon the morrow early rue, And paint the eastern heaven with crimson light. And thought of God, the graciou?, heavenly rather, ho made me and that lovely sun on high, And all those pearls of heaven, thick strung together, Dropped, clustering, from his hand o'er all the sky. With childish reverence my young lips did say' Tlie prayer my pious mother taught me ; "Oh, gentle Gol! Oh, iet ue strive always Still to be wise, and good, and follow Thee!" So prayed I for my father and my mother, And lor my Miter, trnd for all the town, Tie-'king 1 kne v net, and the beggar brother, Who. b; nt with age, went sighing up and TLvy -rUhr-l-tho llythc days tf boyhood I'eruhca, And al! tho ghilnws, all tho peare I knew !

Ono of them is iu an office not far from where wo write. Tho lad who has this situation is losing his first point. Ho likes to attend the circus and theatre. This costs more money than he can afford, but somehow he manages to bo there frequently. I lis employers are quietly watching to learn how he go-s so much money for these extra purposes, and they will soon dis cover a leak in their money drawer, and will detect the dishonest boy, and his place will bo ready for some one who is now getting ready for it by ob serving point No. 1. and bv bein? truthful in all his ways. Some situa tions will soon be vacant because tho bovs havo been poisoned bv reading bad books Such as they would not daro to show their fathers, and be ashamed to havo their mothers see. The impure thoughts suggested by these books will lead to vicious acts, the boys thus indulging will be ruined, and their places must be filled. Who w ill be ready for one .f the vacancies? Distinguished lawyers, useful minis ters, skilful physicians, successful mer chants, and practical ariizans must soon leave their places for some one else to fill. Ono by ono they are redu ced to death. Mind your ten points boys ; they will prepare you to step into vacancies in tho front ranks. Every man who wants to employ a boy is looking for you if you havo the points. Do not fear you will ba overlooked. A young person haviug these qualifications, will shine out as plainly as tha brightest star at "he midaiarht hour. We have named ten points that will go toward making the character of a successful boy that can easily be remembered. You can imagino one on each finger aud thumb on each hand, and so keep theia in mind ; they will be worth more than diamond rings, aud you will never be ashamed to show your hand. in os receuuj .urs. parting- ton, her brother and litLo child, hve T T) -A ..1 TIT TT all died suddenly.

There ia one thing which is greatly needed in North Carolina, and that is mail facilities. Since the war many of the old routes hare been revived, but nearly as many remain discontinued. There are many portion of our State in which there are no post offices. In these sections the peopls have to ride many miles to reach even tho nearest office, and consequently receive mails but once or twice a month. Before the war there were offices scattered through out these sections which received semi weekly or weekly mails. The same arrangements could and should exist now. No community can be prosper ous or intelligent if shut oil from the woild. Middle-men buy the produce of its farms at half-price, for the far mer has no means of.kriowiug tho market value of his produce, and is obliged to rely upon his own judgment. Besides, where there are no mail facilities, there 13 but little reading done by tho people. The newspapers, tho great disseminators of information, cannot reach the people, and ignorance of tho events of the day must uecessa rily be the consequence. Another important subject to be con sidered is the effect upon immigration. No class of citizens is so particular about having good mail facilities as the immigrant, it is but natural that per sons leaving the homo of their child hood, to abide in a strange country should wish to be so situated aa to be able to receive communications from the home they have left. It is the thing which does most to make them contented with their now condition and to render them permanent citizens. Thus, one of the first inquiries of the immigiant regarding the locality in which he thinks of settling is rejvird- ing its mail faeilit es.
