COTTON ESTIMATES.

The following notes are furnished to us
from an authentic source, showing that in
Sbme of the cotton-growing districts the
prospects for good crop of cotton and corn
are very poor. But the accounts from some
sections show that there will be a fine crop,
both of corn and cotton. The montely re-
port from the Agricultural Bureau says that,
upon fair analysis Of the reports, the crop
of cotton may be estimated at 500, 900
bales.
To show the destruction to the crop, send
you the following statistics, obtained in Mis-
sissippii

A LEAF FROM LIFE.

Some ten or twelve years ago there an
peared in the Home Journal a little poer
that struck us at the time by tho graceful
thought that gave it birth, and the elegan
finish of its rhyme. The other day w
found 1t floating about uncredited and un
reclaimed
| lent my love book one day.
She brought it back laid it by;
Twas little either had to cay
She was SO strange and SO shy.
But yet we loved indifferent things
The sprouting buds, the birds in tune:
Ana time stood still and wresthed Its wing,
With rosy links from June to June.
For her, what task to dare or do
What perils tempt? What hardships bear?
But with her--ah She never knew
My heart, and what was hidden there
And she with me SO cold and coy,
Seemed like maid bereft of sense:
But in the crowd all life aud 10y
And full of blushfu impudence.
She married l-well-aw woman needs
A mate, her life and love to share
And little cares sprung up like weeds,
And played around her elbow chair.
And years rolled by--but !, content
Trimmed my one lamp, and kept it bright,
Till ages touch my hair besprint
With rays and CLEANS of silver light.
And then 1t CHANGED took the book
Which she perused in days gone by;
And as read such passion shook
My SOUL need must curse or cry.
Nor here and there her love was writ
In old, halffaded pencil signs,
As If she yielded bit by bit
Her heart in dots and underlines.
Ah silver'd fool l-too late you look!
l know it; let me here record
This maxim: Lend no Girl book
Unless you read it afterward!
