BUBBLES.

| stood on the brink in childhood,
And watched The bubbles go
From the rock-frctted sunny ripple
To the smoo other lymph below;
And over the white creek bottom,
Under them every one,
Went golden stars in the water,
All luminous in the sun.
But the bubbles brake on the surface,
And under, the stars Of gold
Brake, and the hurrying water
Flowed onward, swift and cold.
stood on the brink in manhood,
And it canta to my weary heart
In my breast so dull and heavy,
After tie years Of smart
That every hollowcst bubble
Which over my life had passed
Still into its deeper current
Some sky-sweet gleam had cast;
That, however | mocked it gaily.
And guessed at its hollowness,
Still shonc, With each bursting bubble,
One star in my soul the less.

Cotton Planting Hereabouts.

Considerable preparations are making
by farmers and others in this vicinity to
test the cotton experiment this coming
season. A good deal Of seed has been se-
cured for that purpose. 1t has been sug
gested that some parties could very prof.
tably to themselves plant the seed now in
hot beds, and sell say in April to be set out.
II there is any trouble about raising cotton
in this latitude it will consist mainly in the
sbortuess of the season. Aud this difficult
~ can he obviAtsd in the way suggested
The seed can be planted now in hot beds,
and the plants will be in readiness to start
in with the growing seasoni in the Spring.
We are told that any time within the next
TWO or three weeks will be time enough to
plant tho seed in hot beds.
We trust that many of those who have
hot.beds will go to work and put in some
seed. The plants will find ready sale in
the spring. There is widespread notion
that cotton planting hereabOuts can be
made success. The experiments last year
were of very encouraging uature-sc
much 30 as to induce general belief tina,
they could be so perfected this year as tc
make the planting of cotton success
We trust that no preparation that viii
make the result more certain than hereto
fore will be omitted.
