In Texas 20 per cent. In Mississippi the
decrease is slightly over 25 per cent In
Alabama the .de4icit is something less than
81 56s355 pes cent. In Georgia, where the fall
ing off is greatest, a little more than half
a crop is considered fair average In
Tennessee the two most important districts
are estimated one-half crop, one at two
thirds, and one full crop, (Ar. Ready's,(
where the cotton is manufactured at Nash
vile, and does not affect the estimate at
the ports. In North Carolina, 333 per
cent. deficit. A short crop is set down
for Florida. In South Carolina the ave-
rage deficit is thought to be over 25 per
cent; and in Louisiana, the crop is set
down as 20 per cent. short of that produ-
ced in 1865
Setting down the actual product of 1S-
80 at $500, eco bales, which the writer
assumed at the beginning of his communi-
cation, the above data would warrant an
estimate of the deficiency of 1856 as COM
pared with the previous year, of something
more than one-fourth, which would be, ta-
king that as the figure, 825, 700 bales
making the crop grown this year 2,475,-
600 bales. Then, Dir. Mcqueen proceeds
to discuss the probabilities of the increase
of production on new lands in the fresher
States and arrives at the subjoined conclu-
sion:
Therefore, in view of all these things,
in making liberal estimate of the actual
crop, we may add 225,000 bales to the
number estimated above, which gives the
outside total as 10000 bales, which,
probably, will be found to be about the a.
mount produced,
These deductions may be correct. We
do not feel disposed to dispute Or discuss
their authenticity or non authenticity, not
being called upon to do so. But We ad-
here to our original estimate that the cot
ton crop of 1856 will come very near the
neighborheod of :, $4,000 bales. Time,
which tries us all, including cotton bales,
will speedily determine the value cf the
various calculations that have been made.

I Want to be an Angel.

In the door of New England cottage
sat little child, at the close of a summer
Sabbath day. The twilight was fading
and as the shades of evening deepered in
to darkness one after another of the stars
stood out in the sky and looked down on
the child in his thoughtful mood. He
looked up into the mysterious chambers
above him, and counted the bright spots as
they came till his eyes grew weary of
watching the worlds of light, which to him
were only holes in Heavens floor TO let
the glory through. And the child be-
came so thoughtful in his reveries that his
mother said to him:
''What are you thinking of, my son ?"
He started as fsuddenly awakened from
a dream; and when she repeated her in-
quiry, he could only say
q [ was thinking--"
q Yes, my dear child knew you were
thinking, and [ wish you would tell your
mother what you were thinking Of
ooh, - said he, and his little eyes spark
led in the dark with the thoughts on his
lips, "Oh mother, acant to be an 4nqeE."
And would you tell me my precious
boy, why would you be an Angel ?"
"Heaven is always up there, mother.
and God is there, and the angels love Him,
and are SO good and so happy, [ want to be
good and go there to love God, and be an
angel to wait on Him forever"
There was something like the voice of
Heaven in these childish words, that the
mother-proud of her son but trembling for
her treasure-called him to her knee, and
as she laid his head on her bosom and wept,
she thought she had been warned as in
vision. But she was wise as well as fond
in her affection, and she kissed his fore
head and smoothed his silken hair and in a
low gentle voice, told him to be good
boy, and by-and-by he should be an angel
among angels. His young heart was COM
forted lie sat on her knee for an hour,
and asked strange, deep questions, which
the mother could not always answer; and
then he knelt by her side, and with her
soft hand on his head, he repeated his eve
ming prayer. A few minutes afterward he
was in his cot asleep, dreaming perhaps
of Heaven.
Within less than quarter Of a year,
when the summer was gone, but the mel
low autumn was yet lingering, and the
leaves had not changed to fall, the child fell
sick, and the light Of that cottage and the
joy of that mothers heart went out. He
breathed his last in her arms; and as he
took her parting kiss, he whispered in her
ear, ~ am going to be an Angel P'-Har-

PLEASURES FOR a CHILD.-Blessed be
the hand that prepares a pleasure for
child, for there Is no saying when and
where it may bloom forth Does not eve
ry man remember some kind-hearted man
who showed him kindness in the quiet
days of his childhood The writer of this
recollects himself at this moment, as a bare
footed lad, standing at the wooden fence of
poor little garden in his native village J;
with longing eyes he gazed on the flowers
which were blooming there quietly in the
brightness ola Sunday morning. The pos
SCISSOR came forth from his little cottage
he was a wood-cutter by trade, and spent
the whole week at work in the woods He
was coming into the garden to gather flow
ers to stick in his coat when he went to
church. He saw the boy, and breaking
off the most beautiful of his carnations,-
it was streaked with red and white,-he
gave it to him. Neither the giver nor the
receiver spoke a word, and with bounding
steps the boy ran home; and now, here at
a vast distance from that home, after so
many events of so many years, the feeling
of gratitude which agitated the breast of
that boy expresses itself on paper.
The carnations have withered long ago,
but it now blooms afresh.-Douglass Je,-

OKRA-OKRA CoFFEE-OKRA SOUP
At what period the Okra or Gumbauda'
plant was introduced into North America,
| am unable to state from any books in
my library. The Encyclopedia America
na has no article upon it, although it has
been common garden vegetable in the
Southern and Middle States for more than
fifty years
1t was fast used as a substitute for cof-
fee. And, unquestionaby, it is the best
substitute ever discovered. Some years
ago, writer, I think in the Prairie Far
mer, pronounced it equal to the finest Mo
cha and | can add that [ consider my
self a good Judge of the genuine article,
and / have at least once, without detect
ing it drank the Okra with the usual gus
to.-In fact, as far as [ can discover, the
taste and odOr of the two articles are iden-
teal. | should be pleased to see a COM
parative chemical analysis of the two ber-
ries, SO dissimilar in everything save the
taste and SMELL
The cultivation of the Ol,ra is very sim
pie. The seed should be drilled ike gar
den peas, in light soil, about the first of
May. The plants, to be thrifty, should be
at least two feet apart. When the pod is
about half grown it Is fit for use. 1t is
then as tender as young cucumber, and
viii not burst in the boiling. Take do
zen of these pods, which is a good mess
for a family, and boil them thirty minutes
in pure water (using tin pan instead of
an iron vessel then lift them carefully
with spoon into deep dish, and immc-
diately season with sweet butter, rather Co
piously; then. salt and..pepper,i if prefer
ed.
To make GumbO Soup, cut two or three
pods in thin slices, as you would cucum-
bers for one gallon of any kind of soup
Tomatoes, IN large quantities, and green
corn, cut from the cob, are the usual ad-
mixtures OF Gumbo soup. Too much okra
makes the soup insipid. There should be
just enough to give it a rich mucilaginious
taste.
But the Okra is principally valuable for
boiling. To relish it one must use it for
a season, and then it must be well cooked
Those who are accustomed to It's daily use,
from July to October, would not exchange
it for any vegetable product whatever
[ have cultivated it in Iowa for the last
ten years, and it fourishes admirably-It
should be in every garden, by the side of
the tomato and the egg plant-three inval-
liable and wholesome vegetables, lntrodu-
ced into this country about the same time.

I saw lim-he had come
From his far distant home
In the West;
A jingling purse be showed,
And in the latest mode
He was dressed.
His face was all a smile,
And he discoursed tie while
How he took
Such an interest in the late
Election in his State
For old Buck.
He'd always felt the ties
Of psrty-let it rise,
Let it fail
Twas not for the reward
That ho had worked SO hard,
Not at all.
But efiee he could bear,
As a brave solder could wear
Epaulots,
Which fix his rank, you know,
(Aud the public show
What he gets.)
! saw him after that:
He had "a kinky hat
On hi. head,
His shoes were worn away,
And his pockets seemed to say
mary red"
And loudly he declared
That for party men he cared
Not a jot;
He scorsed their dirty tricks,
And as for politics
Twas plot.
Folks saw the sudden change,
And thought it wondrous strange,
At the best;
Our friend did not explain,
But took an ear J train
