CoTToN-In the period of fourteen years, Bra
iii sent an increase of fourteen millions of pounds
to England; Egypt of thirteen millions; and the
import of other countries rose from three millions
one hundred and thirty-ive thousand pounds, in
1913, to eight millions in 1857. This compare

pulse impaired to the cotton culture in Asia and
Afrca-and it is an element upon which the hopes
of success in those regions are founded-is the

THE CAT THAT CATCHES THE RAT.

You have sung of the upper and bottom dog,
And the dog that goes in for the right,
l will sing of the cat, the noble old cat,
That catches the rat by night!
You may sing as you please of dogs you admire.
And stand up for this one and that
You may keep all your dogs, but most desire
To keep my good rat-catching cat
She's social and quiet, and loveth at eve
TO lie purring, content, Oh the mat;
But quickly she'll jump, you had better believe,
If she hears the least sound of 4 rat.
And as to her fighting, never once saw
Her mix in quarrel at all;
Perhaps she would chidingly put out her paw,
And reproTingly utter squall.
One long winter evening, alone to myself,
As intent at my writing | sat,
/ heard dread sound on the buttery shelf,
Which thought was the shrek of a rat.
l rushed to the scene-it was just as thought,
Grimalkin had captured rat;
And IN my delight that the monster was eaug int,
Three cheers then gave for my cat!
Some cats will sit still and let rat slide,
Not even bestowing pat;
Such conduct as this she can never abide,
My dear Maltese, rat-eatching cat!
There are lazy old cats, and cats that will steal,
And eat al! the cream and the fat;
But give me Old Maltese, that looks for meal
In watching and catching rat.
Then sing of your upper and bottom dogs,
And the dog that goes in for the right;
But I'll sing of my cat-my noble old cat
That catches the rats by night.

ADyIcE.-A modern poet gives advice to
preachers. 1t might be better, and then, too, it
might be worse
When your nerves to speak at all you've strung
Speak honest Saxon, with the plainest tongue.
If Smith Johnson pet vice has shown,
Slash the ulcer-cut it to the bone.
Though Johnson's dollars to the treasury roll
Do not regard them more than Johnson'e soul.
If Smiths liar-thcugh seeming good and pious--
Preach about Smith, and not of Ananias.
These old evasions will not now delude us
If Browns traitor, preach at Brown, not Judas.

A STORY FOR BOYS.

1t is related of Partisan mother, that on giving
her son forty pieces of silver his portion, she
made him swear never to tell lie, and said:
"Go my son; | cons ign thee to God, and we shall
not meet again here till the day Of judgment"
The youth went away and the party he travelled
with was assaulted by robbers.
One fellow asked the boy what he had, and he
answered:
"Forty dinars sewcd up in my garments"
The robber laughed, thinking that the boy only
jested.
Another asked the same question, and received
the same answer.
At last the chief called him, and asked him
what he had. The boy replied:
al have told two of your people already that
have forty dinars sewed up in my clothes
The chief ordered the clothes to be ripped open
and the money was found.
Sand how came you to tell this ?" asked the
chief
Because" replied the boy, Il would not be
false to my mother, to whom made promise
never to tell lie
Child" said the roLbcr, cart thou so mindful
thy duty to thy mother at thy years, and am
insensible at my age of the duty | owe to God ,
Give nc thy hand that may swear repentance
on it."
He did So and his fellows were struck with the
scene.
"You have been our leader in gull t." they said
to the chief, "be the same in the path of virtue"
and taking the boys hand, they took the oath of
repentance on it.
There IS 4 moral in this story which goes be-
yond the direct influence of the mother on the
child. The sentiment infused into the breast of
child, is again transferred from breast to breast
