"All the papers conclude that the crop can.
not, under the most favorable circumstances,
exceed that of last year. It is too early to ar
rive at positive conclusions, but it appears pro.
bable that the crop will again be short every.
where, except in Florida. Here the prospect
is fair There can be no question that cotton
is much more certain crop here, than in any
other portion of the world. Rich, heavy lands
may be very important, but good seasons are
more so; and here we have them"
When moving into new house, let the first
things you bring into it be little coal and salt.

tide. "I have no pence, my good woman," said
the lady, looking up from the novel she was
perusing with listless gaze; elf had l would

the lady somewhat pettishly.
"Really," she added, as the poor applicant
turned meekly away, {" this is worse than the
streets of London; they should have police
on the shore to prevent annoyance" They
were the thoughtless dictates of the head
Mamma" said bue-eyed boy, who was
playing on the beach at the lady's feet, finging
pebbles into the sea, " wish you had penny,
for the poor woman does look hungry, and you
know that we are going to have nice dinner,
and you have promised me glass of wine. =
The heart of the lady answered the appeal OF
the child, and with blush of shame crimsoning
her cheek at the tacit reproof his artless words
conveyed, she opened her reticule, placed hall.

ment the boy was bounding along the sand on
his errand of mercy. In few seconds ne re-
turned, his eyes sparkling with delight, and his
features glowing with health and beauty, "Oh!
mamma, the poor woman was so thankful, she
wanted to turn back, but would not let her, and
she said, "God help the noble lady, and you

on our way rejoicing" The eyes of the lady
glistened as she heard the recital of her child,
and her heart told her that its dictates bestowed
pleasure the cold reasoning Of the head could
never bestow.
