Amber Sugar Cane,
Missouri Republican.]
There was recently shipped from Crystal
Lake, 111, a car lead ot sugar made from
amber carte. This was to be followed by
another in a few days, making not far from
Uenty tons as the result of tiie first expe-
riment in sugar-making in that locality.
The product is described as being '-light in
color with a delicate orange tint. It had
also a peculiar luster, and the grain wa-
bright and sparkiing." The gentleman
who visited the factory reports "that the
proprietor of the hotel went to his storeroom
and brought out a fair sample of yellow 'C
coffee sugar, and the two were compared
side by side. The odds were found to be-
greatly in favor of amber sugar. It was
much lighter and brighter, and beside it the
yellow -C, looked dark, dingy, gummy
and lusterless." Gen. Le Due, who has
just visited the factory, and from whom the
information relative to the shipment has
been gained, says "that the proprietors
inform him that there is so much entusiasm
among farmers regarding this new indus-
try that there will be 10.000 acres of the
early amber cane planted in that locality
next year." The factory is well provided
with every essential for making sugar, the
same as the refinery at Faribault, aud will
next year, it is thought, be running so
smoothly as to "tu.in out a car load ol su-
gar every two days.

A Beautiful Thought.
When I look about and sec the children
that are born to-day, or this year, or in
this age coming into the world that has
been nearly all taken up before they arriv-
ed—when I see that thev have not an op-
portunity to labor bread—when I see in
our splendid country that some who do
the mosf have the least, and that others
who do the least have the most—I say to
my self there is somehing wrong; and I
hope that the time will come, when every
child that shall be hereafter invited to our
feast will have equal opportunity with all
others. There is but one way. in my
judgment; to bring that about, and that is
not simply by the universal education of
the head, but by the univeisal education
of the heart. The time will come when a
man who has accumulated his millions of
monay will not be respected, unless with
those millions he improves the condition of
his fellow man. The time w ill come when
the man of genious will not be respected,
unless he uses his best thought ior the
amelioration of mankind. 1 he time will
come when it will be utterly impossible
for a man to go dow n to death, grasping
millions in the clutches of avarice; going
down amid vant destitution and starva-
tion. The time will come when it w ill be
impossible, for such a man to die, without
his exit being followed with the scorn and
execration of a^ true men and women. The
time wi|l come when such a man who is
made to open his hands merely because
his knuckles have been stricken by death,
cannot purchase applause by leaving a
porting of that which has been wrung
from the poor, to be devoted to the glory
of God.—Bob Ingeksoli..
