We know oi' no more damning or discreditable hjiyinesa than that of feeding weak iijiVfilects on the dishwater dribble of foolish and pointless love stories, aiich a.-5 constitute the staple of verv many of our widely circulated weeklies. The rule with these prosperous publishers seems to /be to print that which will promote the greatest sale and bring in the largest returns. It is easily ascertained that there are more foolish, love-sick girls and "spooney" young men than ajiy other class of readers, and so oar enterprising publishers "make for them." Tlfe more unreal and exciting the fictitious is, the more readers it will have, and the latter will grow the publisher's wallet. The tendency of all each efforts is to deaden noblo aspirations in minds capable of advancement, and to drag down to lower depths of insanity the weak and purposeless souls who can •only follow where others lead. The -operation may be shrewd, and sharp men may seem to thrive on it, but sooner or later they will hs,ve their reward. Wc can think of no severer penalty for such transgressors in this •world, than to be obliged to read what they print. In the world which is to come they will probably far*?, worse.—Packard's

A Lincoln Aaecdote.

The difficulty Gen. Grant has labored under in maintaining his reticence may be appreciated by an anecdote told of Mr. Lincoln:

Before he had got well inured to the torture of Washington politicians he was visited by as old friend from the West, whom we will call Smith. "Smith," said the President, with a rueful visage, "Out in Illinois they used to think me an honest man but here these fellows

Artesian wells arc sunk through the sod of the prairies, through the loiirn. through the gravel, through the hard-pan, which is almost granite, until at last, 1,000 or 1,500 feet bo neath the surface, the hand of man reveals a deep and rapid river, coursing through, those solitary, sunless depths, afc a speed of tea miles an hour, swifter than the Ohio, or Mississippi, or Hudson, or any of the bountiful and imperial streams of this country, flowing as they do through picturesque mountain scenery, stately forest or enameled meadow, amid toivered cities or cultivated fields. And when the shaft has reached that 'imprisoned river, and thenent for the 'irst time has been made through its dungeon wall, the waters, remembering the august syurce on the distant mountain .tops, whence ages ago they tell, leap upward to the light with terrible energy, rising i?i an instant above the surface of the earth, and pouring forth their healthful and fertilizing current to delight and refresh mankind. And with even such an awakening are we gladdened when half-forgotten humanity bursts from time to time out of the depths in which it has pursued its joyless, sunless course, moaning and murmuring through long centuries, but never forgetting its Divine but distant origin. Such was the upward movement out of intellectual thraldom, which wo call the reformation, when the shaft of Luther struck tho captive stream such an awakening, but a more significant and hopeful one, has been heralded for

f.ho

West, North and South, and for all humanity, by the triumph of tho right in the recent four years' conflict, in which all have been conquerors.—J.

Too M»ny Meetings.

The

Church Union

re-echoes the

complaint, that comes up every Sunday evening in ten thousand homes, that wo fill our Sabbaths too full of public services:

Sunday school, at 9 o'clock, preaohing at half past 10, another one at 3, and more yet at 7. What chance is thero for meditation, or physical repose? This is demanded by the body, and that by the soul. We have too much preaching—more than we can digest, and poorer in quality than if we had less. Our worship, our religion indeed, is too formal, too public, and oonoentrated too much in the one day of seven, whieh is apt to bp a burden instead of a "delight, tho holy of the Lord and honorable." While we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, wo should not be gathering and dispersing continually. Wo may be as much mistakeu in thinking that thus we are serving God and growing in grace, as were those who thought that they wore heard for their much speaking. Tho claims of homo are too sacred and important to bo disregarded. Many a child is neglected by parents at "meeting" as well as by parents at parties and balls. More of the spirit of Jesus, and more time at home, are wanted to give a heavenly glow to our fireside. Christians should feel at liberty, then, divide their hours between public and private claims. Characters are different. Some need more of public exercises thai others. "Let every man be fully persuadod in his own mind."

Cotton IMaaufaetnring'.

According to a report recently issued by the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers and Planters, the number of cotton mills in the Northern States is at present 664, running 0,356,020 spindles, and con suming annually 385,952,021 pounds of cotton while there are in the Southern States 86 mills, running 225,004 spindles, and consuming annually 31,415,850 pounds of ootton. In the Northern mills each spindle spins, on an average, 60 pounds of cotton a year, while in the Southern mills each one spins 138 pounds, showing that a coarser quality of goods is manufactured at the South. The number of mills in operation now is 100 less than in 1860. The total consumption of cotton for manufacturing purposes last year was 450,000,000 pounds, which, at the usual estimate of 400 pounds to a bale, equals 1,125,000 bales, or nearly onehalf the product of the United States The total oonsumption in 1868, in Europe and the United States, was 2,094,105,000 pounds, against 1,976, 520,000 pounds in 1858, and 2,284,901,050 pounds in 1819. At 'the prcsunt relative priceB of raw cotton and cotton cloth, there is no profit on the manufacture of the latter.
