    Love's Reasons.
VThydo t love my darling ao f
Gooff tin tb, my heart, I hardly know,
I have meh store of reason* ;
Twould take me *ll a summer day-
Nay, saving half that 1 could say
Would fill the circling seasons.
Because her eye* are softly brown.
My dove, who quietly hath flown
To me a* to her hsven t
Because her hair ia toft, and laid
Madonna wise iu simple braid,
And Jatty * the raven ?
Because her tipa we awoet to touch,
Not chill, nor fiery overmuch.
But softly warm a* roses.
Dear lips (hat chaaien while they move,
Lips, that a man may dare to love,
Till earthly lov.-tiwe closest
Because her hand is toft and whits.
Of touch so tender and so light,
Tbst whew her slender linger
Doth fail or move, the man to whom
The ffWarda of E.len whispered " OMRS 1"
Beneath its spell mighj linger f
Because her heart is tmWMnft,
Bo true, so tender, that t oft
Do marvel that a treasure,
80 ryh, so rare, to me should fall,
Whose sole desert -so small, ao small,
Is-loving past all measuiv?
Because she has such stores of moods.
Wo archly amiles, so siatdlv hrivvla,
80 lovingly caresses;
80 that my heart may ncver*uro
Of monotone, or mere desire
Than ahe, my love, possesses?
Ah me! what know or what care I ?
Or what hath love to do with " why"?
How simple is the reason I
I love h< r- for she is my love.
And shall wlnle star* st all shine above
And season follow season.
Farm, Harden and tloueludd.
To Prt Swkkt Cor.x.—The Shakers,
whose dry aweet corn is considered as
good an the best,strip the eorn from the
cob by catting down the ie*ra with *
knife, and then scraping the grains off.
The e rn is then dried in the sun or i
common ovens. The A Men process ol
drviug i* suited to an extensive b;:i
--uesn. When the corn ts dry it is packed
in barrels for market.
CRXAAt Pre.—This requires 3 enps o!
milk, 3 eggs, 2 table-spoonfuls of corn
starch, a piut of salt, butter the sixe of
a walnut, and 2 tahK spoonfuls of sugar
Have the crust ready baked, then scald
If ecp of the milk with the butter and
salt; heat the yolks of the eggs with the
corn starch and the other If cup of milk,
an J add to the scalded milk, with 1 tea
spoonful of lemon extract. Put it in
the crust and bake uutil done. Then
beat the whites of the 2 eggs to a high
froth, add the sugar and spread over the
pie, and brown slightly.
RXSOTATISG Smswiuair.T BEDS.—
Either spado under the plants, oud set
out young, thrifty runners on the same
ground, after giving it a good, liberal
dressing of immure, or make a new bed
in somo other part of yonr garden. Af
ter a strawberry plantation has become
choked up with weeds, it is ranch the
best plan to plow it up and make a new
one. We know that some strawoerry
growers boost of their old thrifty plan
tations. but the modern system of fre
quent renewals is far the best and moat
economical as well as profitable.
WASTED \YATEH.— One acre of meadow
that can be ungated is worth three
acres not susceptible of such treatment.
A large proportion of farms in the East
ern States might, to a greater or less ex
tent, be brought under this system.
Wherever there is a spring flowing from
high ground it may lie gathered into a
small stream, turned into a plow furrow,
and led back and forth across the lower
lands to nourish the grass. Wherever a
stream has a fail of a few feat there its
waters may be carried in lateral channels,
aud made to overflow more or less of the
■oil ahng its banks. Every farmer
should practice with an ordinary spirit
• level until be is able to determine suf
ficiently well where and how he can turn
water upon his fields.
EGG EATING HEX* —A writer in th*
Journal of Horticulture advises any one
who is troubled with bens eating their
egg* to break an egar and dust the con
tent* with Cayenne pepper, tuning the
egg round, so as to get the pepper
be lore the yolk, if possible, and leave
the egg in the offender's nest Or, if
be catches her in the act of eahng an
egg, let him drive her away quietly,
ana place pepper in the remainder of
the egg, endeavoring, as stated alx>ve, to
get the pepper underneath- He will
very soon see her running furiously
al>out with distended beak. If one dose
is not sufficient administer another, a
littl# stronger; bnt one do** has proved
to b* a perfect euro.
Sm-IKKiGATioN op TREES. —A corre
spondent of the P'icifr Rttml Press sug
gests the following mode of sub-irriga
ting trees : When tire tree or vine is
ready to be placed in the pit which has
been excavated for it, have ready at band
two or more buckets of coarse grovel, or
enough so that when poured into the
side of the pit the column of gravel will
reach from the surface to the bottom of
the roots : then fill the remaining space
to within four inches of the top with the
soil intended for the support of the plant;
being careful in so doing not to dis
turb the grave!, but in such away aa to
leave a trench around the outer"rim of
the excavation, which will hold two
buckets at least of water. The water
poured into the trench will fiud its way
down the column of gravel, and the air
be excluded; in fact, trial Las proven it
far better than a wooden spout, or an
opeD hole of any kind for getting the
water down and preventing evaporation.
FOOD FOI DAREX Cows.—Prof. Cook
stated before a Pennsylvania Farmer's
Clnb, that in Scotland be saw in their
native locality the celebrated Ayrshire
cows. He described these as of small
sire, varying from GOO to 800 lbs., live
weight, and milking, on an average,
twenty quarts per day. They are fed
largely on cabbage, which is considered
there the beet food for producing milk.
Our dairy farmers here would no doubt
find equal benefit from feeding cows on
cabbages. As with turnips, there will
be no taste in the butter from the cale
bage, if the cows are milked before feed
ing. Another fact stated by Professor
Cook was, that in the best dairies in
England aud Scotland it wan considered
most profitable to give the cows all they
could. The so'ling system is of course
practiced—and he had seen hundreds
of cows tied up in stall*, where they are
kept from year to year, no disease or
other drawback resulting from confine
ment. They were not only healthy, but
thrifty—and never leave the stalls till
they go to the butcher.
FEED rso CATTLE.— Tn Orange county,
N. Y.. mtik commanding better prices,
the cattle are fed higher than elsewhere.
Some mill feed, or corn meal, is gener
ally given in Summer, always in W inter.
Brewers" grains and sprouts ore largely
used ; a little drilhd corn js fed in Sum
mer, when pastures are failing. In
Winter fodder and bay are fed every
where. The use of drilled corn for Win
ter fodder is general, tut the uae of it
for Summer food is not customary as
yet, though increasing. Roots are fed
in Central New York considerably ; also
in Massachusetts and Connecticut; pre
ference is given to beets as better than
turnips. But the vast majority of dairy
farmers confine their cattle to pasture on
the native grass in Summer, and hay and
corn fodder in Winter, with a little gram
or roots in early Spring to "bring them
in," and "put them to grass" in fair
condition. No variety of grasses is
produced. I have seen only one field of
Lucerne; no Italian or rye grass or mil
let, or orcliard grass, though no doubt
some little is grown ; yet clover, timothy,
and the native grasses are the "stand
bys." On a very few places some rye is
grown for early green food.
COCOAHPT CAKE. — Break eight eegs,
of which set aside four whites. Bt at
separately the remaining four whites and
eight yolks till veiy light. One pound
and a quartorof flour, silted ; one pound of
augar, pulverised ; half a pound of butter,
creamed ; one cup of sour cream or butter
milk, and a teaspoonful of bicarbonate cf
aoda—the two Jitter Ingredient* to be
added the last thing, just before ton ire
ready to bake. Bake in Urge Hit tin
plates, no as to form many thin cake*
(jrnte two fresh saect cocoanuts, and #dd
to them one pound of sifted white sugar,
with the lightly beaten white* of the lour
eggs laid ai )• for the purpose; two tea
spoonfuls ol eorn stasch. Stir all well to
gether, including thecocotnut milk drained
treat lioth nuts. When the rakes are quite
cold, place one in the luttom of a large
chins plate, cover it well with the prepared
ooooauut, and continue thus to neap up
cake and cocoanut in alternate layers, until
all of each material is consumed. If for
other than everyday use, cover the whole
with icing. This quantity makes a very
large cake. If only a small one i* needed,
one cocoanut will answer, with half of
every thins else. Tins wipe supplies a
cake of delicate yet luscious flavor, and
nd otherwise than economical in its piO|or
t.ous.
Dr.ivt Wklib.—A few years ago an
Eastern roan inventtsl a plan by which a
well could be obtained by simply driving
s tube down into the soil. Tlioprocess l
thus drimiM : Upon one end of an
iron tube about two iuehea iu diameter
there ia attached an iron point, of which
he portion next to the tube is some
what larger than the tube, ao that when
driven into the ground it makes a hole
ihrongli which the tube easily follows,
iu the sides of the tul>e numerous holes
ire punched for nlnuit two feet above
the point, and around the tube, ami
covering the holes, ia wrapped and
soldered iu pUue a piece of wiregaiue
>r strainer. To the other end of this
wire is attache 1 a doable nnt, no that
mother piece of pipe may be screwed
mto it- The tubes without the joint
and str. in r are various lengths, so that
as many feet may he u.lnched to the
joint aa desired.* A common pump,
either iron or wooden, is then provided,
and vou are ready to • drive a tttbe
well. '** If you want the ptunp in the
house you bore a hole of suitable sire
ami thrust "the point" through iuto the
ground. Plaeiiig a board over the up|H r
t nd of the pipe, you then drive into the
earth with a aledgo or axe, and when
downnearlv to the floor you attach other
pieces until you have driven deep
enough. In sinking a well out of doors
it ii eustom-iry to dig a small pit for
greater convenience in driving.
Starting la Marrteu l.ife.
I will tell you a story of my own experi
ence in starting in the world. When I
was very young ai d very poor, 1 married
a very poor young man; h* worked out
by the dav or by the month, on the farms
and in onJer that the stormy days should
not consume the income of the fair ones,
Himething must be done. What should
it be f lie had no trade for indoor labor,
except making shingles, Then he had no
shop, and it would cost so much to buy
lumber and build one. Heretofore he had
spent the stormy daya like hundreds of
yenng men iu the country, lounging about
public placet in the village, er at some
neighbor's. He had formed the habit,and
liked it right well.
"Now, said I, "James, if we ever get
anything ahead, the wiuter must not con
sume what the summer yields.'*
"Tree," said he, "but what can I d® P
1 hesitated a moment, looked at the
neatly scoured floor of our little log cabin
and snow white recess and window cur
tains, which, by the way, were pieced out
from worn out garments.
"Get neighbor Wilson to bring you
some titnher. get it sawed, and make the
shingles for half."
" WUtftv," said he: here in the bouse?"
" Yes, here in the house," said I
Year after year passed. In our kitchen
barrels were hooped, chairs were bottom
ed, barley forks were made and sold, and
I nsed t# pack the shingles. And what
of it it I did help liim saw the small tim
ber! All this was done in bad weather,
and the children were growing np enjoy
ing the liberty of making all the litre*
desirable, whenever they were released
from their hours of study. No one on
earth loves neatness better than 1; but I
learned, in time, to sacrifice neatness, in a
measure, to prosperity and happiness.
Husband is nervous and irritable by na
ture, and it will not do in all cases to try
to teach old dogs new tricks, to I have
picked np after him, boots hats and cloth
ing.washed and combed him almost every
Sunday morning, and, as to the boys, they
have made all sorts of farming implements
in the house when they could not play out
of floora; and whatever inrnwent amuse
ment they wished to engage in aside from
mental improvement, they have doue. I
make many efforts to teacb the boys order
about the house,but never fairly succeed.
Now for the result of my course:—We
bave a farm of more thau a hundred acres
well stocked: there are several rooms in
onr honse, but shingles are not made In
any of them. Sometimes when husband
brings in a barrel to hoop fer our own
use, 1 tell him to be careful not to scratch
the paint off the floor. Husband is a
steady, hard working man. and when
night comes, lie is at home; the boys, or
rather young men, are honest, ambitious,
home loving boys. No smoking cigars, or
taking a glass, or lounging about with
them. Stndion*, noble, good and true
they are.— Rural Jftw 1 orker.
A LIVE GENERAL. —I was amused the
other night by a conversation which I
could cot help hearing between a live
"General" and a dozen or so f admirers
who surrounded him. "Were yon in the
i Seven Oaks battle. General 1" asked one
'■ "Well, no, I was at that time speciallyhle
tailed on recruiting service," responded
the General, martially curling his huge
| mustache. " Were you at the Vicksburg
siege ?" asked another. "Xe, I was in
Washington then." A third struck in—
"But you were at Aotietam, I think. Gen
eral. "Well, no, I'm sorry to say I had
not an opportunity to be is that engage
ment; I was sent out West just before it."
"While yon were out West were yon in the
great Lookout Mountain fight!" *• Xo.
sir, I was at that time on special detached
service at New Orleans I believe, if I re
member aright, and soon after ward re
turned to Washington." "I think I have
heard that you did good service at. Fred
ericksburg, General?" *'l hope that I
should have done so, had f the good luck
to be there, but unfortunately, only a day
or two before, I had got a furlough to
come borne to see rny wife, who was very
sick." And so this conversation went on.
ITARRR END or A Couirrsnir.—A few
days since Henry J. Holmes returned to
this city with his bride, whom hetnnrried
in Prairie City, Polk County, lows.
Twenty-three years ago Holmes left the
placejnentioned to make his fortune in
California, the two being at the time en
gaged. The lack nual with most of the
forty niners was his, and after long anil
unsuccessful labor he settled dswn to le
gitimate business, in wbich he managed to
•lowly accumulate property. After a
time he returned to lowa for his bride,
bather broth* r was afflicted with a long
and tcdions illness and the faithful sister
would not leave him. The illness termi
nated in death, a few months since, and
then the lady wrote her betrothed—the
two having corresponded regularly all this
time—that she was free and he might
come again. Holmes was now possessed of
a comfortable competence, and he was
still faithful. He promptly responded to
the summons, married the lady, and is
now settled in the enjoyment ef domestic
happiness. They are a practical conple,
and probably feel no older now than they
did twenty-three years ago.
A NrßstcnT.—Rome kindly ladies in
Ilartford, Conn., have opened an estab
lishment worthy of being copied by other
cities. It is a day nursery for the children
of poor people who are obliged to be away
from home at work. There is a charge
of five cents per day for care and meals,
and the place is made a sort of school for
the little ones—not one of the harsh, con
strained kind, such as the public furnishes
but a sort at home school for developing
character and intelligence.
THE DIFFLBEKOE.-*-" Humph!" said
an Englishman to a Scotchman, as they
were walking over the fields, "oats are
very good in their way, but in England
we feed them to our horses, while here
they are food for men." "An, jnst
see what tine horses there are in Eng
land, and what fine men we havs in
Scotland!'
A Kuaslnn Uhsst Story.
In a certain village—ao the atory goes
—there wna a girl who liatcd work but
loved gossip. 80 she lietei ipilU herself,
bat used to invito the other gitla to her
hou*e, where she fma ted them and they
spun for lier. During one of these spin
ning fount* a dispute arose as to which
of the parly was the IwUml.
" I'm not afraid of anything," inid the
liRV-'one*.
" Well, then," said the soinners, '• if
you're uof afraid, go t!\touch the grave
yard into the eliureh, take down the
llloly I'ietiure from the door, and bring
it here."
•* Very well," aaid she ; " I'll bring it.
onlv each of yoa must spin me a distaff
full.'*
Well, ahe went to the ehureli. took
down the picture, and brought it home
with her. lint then the picture lmd to
lx< taken hack attain, and the midnight
hud arrived. Whc was to take it ?
"(!i uu spinning, you girls," auid the
lany-Kme, "1 11 take it hack myself.
I'm not afraid of anything !"
So she went back to the ehurch and
replaced the picture. As she pasted
through the graveyard on her return,
she saw a corpse in a white abroad sit
ting ou a tomb. It was a moonlight
night, ami everything was visible. She
went up to the corpse and pullet! its
shroud t>ff. ;lta hour forstiiiing hadn't
arrived, perhaps.) Then she went home
earning the shrou 1 with her.
Alter supper, w hen < verybody had
game to bed, all of it sudden the corpse
tupped at the window, saying, "(live
me my abroad ! give mo my abroad !"
The other girls were frightenetl out of
their wits, lint the laav-bones took the
•broad, openet! the window, and s ad:
'• I'liere, take it !"
"No," replied the corpse, * take it to
the place you took it from."
J list then a cook crowed,and the corpse
vanished.
Nut night, at the same hour, after all
the spiuuera had gone to their own
homes, the corpse came again, tapped at
the window, ami -aid :
'* Give me mv shroud H*
Well, thu girl's father ami mother
opened the wiudow and offered the
j corpse its shroud, hut it cried :
" No! Let her carry it back to the
! place she took it from.''
Just then tli ce-cks began to crow—
the eotpu) disappeared. Weil, next
day they tent for the priest and tohl hiui
the whole story, and implored hiui to
help them. The priest reflected i*\\ hde,
then told the girl to com* to mass next
day. So in the morning she went to
mass. The service begun. Numbers o{
people came to it. Hat ju*t nx they were
going to ting the Cherubim Song," a
terrible whirlwind arose. And it anight
up tha girl in the uir, and then flung
her dow non th* ground. And straight
way the girl disapjieared from sight ;
nothing was ever found of her except
her black hair.
BREED OF CATTT-K —There are few
dairies of thoroughbred o' grade cattle
The native cattle of the dairy regiou are
very flue, the nutritive grasses there
have developed their milking qualities,
and forty-nine-fiftieths, at least, of the
milk, butter, ami cheese is produced by
common cattle. But there are consider
able numbers of blood cattle being in
troduced lrow Canada, aud quite a hum
ber of our own people ore brre liog flue
cattle, though their Lents are nearly all
small as yet, rarely over 2J breeding
cow* and generally less. The favorite
cattle for the dairy are the Ayrshi'O,
though some iu Vermont prefer the
Short-horn, objecting to the small sire
and short teats of the Ayrshire. I think
this preference is owing to the fact that
some Canada breeders have been de
veloping the milking qualities of the
Short-horn, aud thus introduced a dif
fereut strain of Strort-horu from those
usually seen. The Holstcius of Mr.
Cbtnery, near Bosh a. are looked on us
an experiment as yet. though where thev
have been tried they are much liked,
["bey are unquestionably heavy milkers,
but it is not decided that they are not
costly feeders, aud whether their milk is
good for butter-making. Uerrit 8.
Miller of Petcrboro, X. Y., has a few fine
Holsteio*, which I did not see. There
is, also, around Qoahen a cross of Dutch
banded (black hind aud forequartera,
white round the laxly) cattle, which aie
much liked. The Ahleruey (Jersey) are
only kept in a few places where high
priced butter is made for rich city poo
p!e. Though they have their advocates,
yet there cau lie no doubt that they have
been ruled out for dairy farming. 1
have seen but very few Devons ; they
arc nowhere recommended.
THE EURLOTMEST op '* DKCMMERS."—
The Journal of (hmmrrct is inclined to
think that a reaction is approaching in
the method of attracting custom. The
employment of din tamers (we arc told)
is essentially demoralizing. It almost
certainly debauches the agent sooner
or latter, and tends by the instrument
: allies used to the injury of the morals
and btthits of customers. Even where
these evils can be avoided it is a most
expensive agency, and tuis will lead to
its disuse, sine ? if employers are not sick
of it, the buyers must see that they have
to support it, and must eventually de
cline to lay in their stock subject to such
costly mnchiue for distribution. It is a
great mistake to suppose that these local
and travelling solicitors of custom are at
idl necessary to the transaction of a large
business. The first essential is brains,
then sufficient credit and capital to pre
sent a desirable stock. Judicious ad
vertising will announce this to every man
whose custom is worth having. Cour
tesy Dd fair dealing will complete what
is thus auspiciously begun. Drumming
leads directly to dissipation and liaen
tionsness; but if it were morally unex
ceptionable, it is too heavy a tax to In
laid upon the distribution of goods.
; Country merchants are growing us shy
! of these red-faced borers us the farmers
are of the lightning-rod agents or patent
| pill iwillurs. Have a stock worth selling,
announce the fact to the public iu the
columns of a newspaper, and wbeu a
customer is thus founa make it for his
interest aud pleasure to come again.
WHAT WAS WASTED.—A Western edi
tor who recently attended a female high
school exhibition, didn't like it because
he saw no indication that the girls pos
sessed any of the essentials necessary to
the making up of a good wife. He per
ceivod, he says, at a glance that tie grail
ualing girls are soon to be married and
demands that they he taught the chemis
try of tae kitchen, the effect of vinegar on
copper, of boiling water on corned beet,
as well as the philosophy of home life—
how to get and how to keep servants,
how gi eat happiness may be got from a
small house and a little money. These
are questions, he a<!d*, worthy of much
tnore consideration than aighings and
longings, and she who has solved the rid
dle, has the philosopher's stone for her
amulet, ha* mastered the great problems
of thrifty living, hew to extract sunbeams

LOOKS. —Men and women mnke their

Lytton siienks in 0110 of his novels of a

How TO UNITE THE ENDS OP LEAP
i TU'E. —Whatever the size of the pipe
may le, procure i block of hard wood,
say four or five inches long, ami four
inches in diameter ; bore a hole straight
, through the centre, so nearly the sire of
the pipe that the blo-k can be driven on
the end of the pipe with a light Hammer.
If one has a act of anger bite, it w ill not
lie difficult to relet*! a bit of the projer
1 -ize to make a water tight fit. Let the
block be driveu rlenr on the oijv, ao that
the end of the pipe will lie fluh or even
with the end of the block. Now place
| the two end# of the pi[H> together, and
drive the block off oue pipe on the other,
until the joint will be at the middle of
the block. If the hole in the block in
made of the proper size, the block will
j tit so closely that the joint will be water
tight ; end, if the ends of the pipe are
dreased off trno and square, the joint
will lie ao strong that it will sustain the
preaaure of a head or column of water
one hundred feet high. Iron pipe may
lie nutted in the same manner. Should
the joint leak n trifle, let ahinglc-nail* IK*
j driven into the WIKHI around the pipe so
is to press the timber firmlv all around
the pipe. This mode of joining pipe
will be found very convenient.
TUB MOPXTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE.
—An affidavit in full by one of the least !
guilty nmong the participants in the
affair, show* conclusively that the terri
ble Mountain Meadows massacre was
an act of the Mormon authorities. It j
will lie remembered that a large company
of emigrants, ou their way to California,
are known to have IKK-U all killed, with
the exception of the yonng children.
When their tun.'.sue re was discovered,
the Mormons set afloat the story that
they had perished by the hands of the
Indians ; tint from time to time circum
stancial evidence hns appeared indica- j
ting that they were murdered in cold
blood by the Mormons iu revenge for
previous outrages upon the latter per
petrated in Illinois aud Missouri. A
competent witness now state* under oath
that the Mormon militia attacked the I
emigrants, and after a fight of several 1
days without result, sent in flag of
truce, offering Hu m protection if they
would lay down their arms. The terms j
Iming complied with, the entire party!
was butchered by their captors.
AKSAHSIXATIO*.—A strange occurrence
(says Gttlignnni) tiaw just lakeit place at
Antwerp. As the chaplai of thoprison,
11. Van Arson, was leaving tlio Church
of St. Carlo liorroraeo. a man cnruo tip
and asked liini if bo would bny a poniard
which lie held out. The priest, greatly
surprised, replied that lie could not find
any use for the weapon, on whioh the
other said, " Then 1 will give it to you
for unthiug and in the calmest manner
imaginable, and without ntiy exeitcraenl,
plunged the blade deep into the clergy
man's breast. He next drew out the
implement, and took to flight into the
church. But on tbe wounded man nt
tering e loud cry, some passers-by pur
sued the fugitive and took him iuto
custody, lie turned out to be a man of
dissolute character, n uuod Hums, aged
4'i, and could not assign any motive for
this etfniordiuary aggression. Hopes
are entertained of M. Van Arseti's re
covery.
FISH. —Tho ca'plin migration is now
in full force, according to a letter from
Newfoundland. The caplius are tbe

around the thiuiKand miles of const.
Along with theni come vnst nnnitsr* of
codfish, when the sen harvest begins in
earnest. All this lias been going on year
after year for centuries, without making
any sensible irapro*iou on the shoals of
cod. The British Fishery Commission
ers remark in their report, that once a
year au acre of good land, carefully
tilled, produce* a ton of com, or 200 or
300 weight of meat or cheese ; but that,
without any culture, the same urea of the
sea yields a greater weight of food to
tho fishermen each week of the year.
The hair on a camel, we see it stated,
weighs about ton pounds, and sells for
more than twenty pomnds'sterling.

MURAL TO TUU ABOVE.
Tilings are not always what they seem
COTTOJI. —lt is estimated that Texas
alone contains land capable of yielding
15,000,000 bale* of cotton annually ;
that in, considerably mora than is
consumed at present by tlie whole cirili
ltd world. The protdem now to be
solved in the South is not that of pro
Juciug cotton cheap with labor free, but
of improving methods of agriculture nisi
chea|H<ning the cost of handling and of
tinn#|>ortation. Sourly all report* from
tho cotton districts promise a larger
supply than la t year, and it is probable
that price* will tend downward for sev
eral mouth* to come. English con
sumers seem so think that a sternly de
j cline in cotton will take place, and that
prices will fall so low that thev will be
enabled to resume working full time af
ter January I, when tho American crop
of the year begins to reach Europe. Our
crops to England in IfTl woraonlv al*>ut
689,000 cwt , lea* than in 1860. baring
1870 and 1871 the import* of American
cotton into Great Britain were 15,662,-
015 cwt, ami from British India 6.898,-
006 cwt, showing an excess from the
United Btatis during the first two years
jof 8,770,049 cwt. The most important
point established by these returns is that
the staple industrv of the South has re
vived, anil is likely to prosper mora un
der freedom than under the former sys
tem of slavery, At present it is gratify
ing to learn that the statistics of th
trade recently published in this country
and in England that the south is rapidly
recovering her former position as the
j great cotton field of the world. From
the report of the British Commissioners
of Customs for 1871, just issued in Lon
don, it appears that tho supply of Ameri
can cotton in 1871 was 9,273,010 cwt.,
i against 6,305,045 cwt. in 1870 and 9,963,-
; 300 cwt- in 1860. With these figures the
American statistics tally very nearly
the total production In 1889-60 having
been 4,760,770 bales, and in 1870-72, 4.-
115,107 bales.— Cotton Planter.
.Serious Distress in England.
A letter from the London sorrespon
dent of the Herald regards the prospsct*
abend during tlie coming wiuter for the
English poor as very gloomy indeed.
The telegrams and mail accounts recently
have spoken of the advance in the price
of ML " Coal has gone np," as the
saying Is, and whether the advance in
price arises from a falling off in the yield,
increased consumption by the manufac
tories, or by reason of the conflicts be
tween the miner* and their muster", the
fact remains the same, that cool ha*
i enormously risen in price from the rale*
cbtfßid la*t year. This of itself would 1
prove a hardship, especially to the
■ jKwrer clashes ; but then then- are other
misfortunes still m<re distressing. The
potato crop lis* fniled generally tbrongh
| out the British Isles. The account* from
the agricultural districts in the English
shires is of the most distressing char
acter. A writer in one of the agricul
tural papers of England estimates that
1,<530,000 acres of the potato crop are nil
hut destroyed, while another equally
good authority declares that ho " hardly
■ over remembers the malady so general
; and the destruction so complete." In
Ireland and Scotland the crop is a'so
blighted,possibly not to the same extant
as in England, hut sufficiently extensive
I to be severely felt by the poorer classes
Jin both countries. The foot and month
disease among the cattle is another
cause for alarm. The disease, which
made itself manifest to a eon-idernl>!e
I extent last ye*, has now re-appeared in
still greater proportions. In Norfolk, in
two weeks, the loss in sheep alone
amounted in value to over one hundred
and twelve thousand dollars. Taking
everything in'o consideration, and With
those facts before n, it is evident that
the approach of winter is regarded with
feelings of dread by the poor, hard
worked and ill paid mechanics, laborers
and working people of England, Ireland
and .Scotland.

his lead down to thu river bank, secretly,
until lie had hidden iu the bank sbotit
•12,000 worth of lead. This he shipped
and went with it down tbi river, reahip
ping it t New Orleans and going with
It to New York, where he sold it, taking
his |iy in gtdd. Perhaps the gold was
heavier tnan the lead, At all events

old fellow, some boys collected around

great fear seised Tom—a fear for his
money-bags. lie snatched Uiem tip and
started to ruii fur the dock, where his
lioat was lying. The boys followed,
hooting Tom stumbled nud fell. One
of the boys, uhesd of tha rest, came
upon him. Tom drew a knife and atabtM-d
the boy through the heart At the trial
which ensued it was shown that Tom
Kelly was mure than half erased, mail ha
was acquitted, but kept in confinement
as a lunatic. Here his instincts sa a
miner stood him in good stead; ho bur
rowed out and escaped. Before long,
Tom was at work in hi* uiina again, but
ho was now more secretive thuu ever.
He built himself a stone house, where
each window was sn embrasure pointing
out of which was fixed a loaded musket,
and the only man who ever got enough
into Tom's confidence to examine the
lions*, says that there was also s Axed
musket eufibtdiog tbo doorway, lie
told this pel sou that he was having an
irou house made for himself that he
thought would lie much more secure.
Iu general it was but little, and only to
mere children, that Tom aver spoke.
And there came a day, some two years
ago, when Torn found it necessity ho
prepare to go to a house where he is
likely to be permanently safe. Two
brothers, almost as uncouth as Tom him
self, came hovering a Unit the dying
man. He asked the priest to bring a
lawyer ; and when this was affected said:
"It yoa wdl send thetu oat," pointing
to his hrotbere, " I will fill all." Hut
the brothers would not go ont of the
house, aid Tom died as mute as he had
lived. Application to the proper au
thorities iu New Y'ork recovered Tom's
gold which be had been too tuueh fright
ened to apply for after his escape. The
brothers left not one u ne of the house
upon another, and they found about
if 20,000 in gold hidden in aud around U-
Out of Tom's cave they took, in addi
tion, it is believed, ore to a value of not
has tbau 9100,000. They divided their
treasures as they found gold or sold ore,
by dealing out* coin or bills aa if tliey
were cards at poker, one to each alter
