WHERE ARE THs PICKANINNIES.-A
correspondent writing from the South to a
New York paper, gives the following starts
ling facts, which foretell a speedy diminu-
ton of the negro population: Some weeks
ago my attention was drawn to a very singu-
lar fact which | had never noticed before,
and that is the total absence of young color
ed children in arms. Ever since then have
observantly kept my eye upon this fact, and
the question has become almost interesting,

Under the old system the parent was, to a
certain extent, an irresponsible being. A
mother troubled herself comparatively little
about her offspring, because, under any cir.
cumstances, in sickness or in health, the
self.interest Of the master or mistress-allow

DoS'r Run THE Cows.-Now, boys, we
have a word to say to you. When we were
your age we always had to drive the cows to
pasture, and go and bring them to. Some
times we got a little late, or were anxious to
get off to play, or COW found bit Of sweet
grass better than she had found all day in
the pasture, and would stop to take bite
and fall behind the rest. That was provok-
ing, and we were apt to give her pretty se-
we're lesson. In fact we we're guilty Of
hurrying them up on many occasions. 1t
was all wrong, but we little knew how mnch
injury we were inficting on ourself as well
as on the cows. Now it is perfectly well
known that over driving causes the milk to
be heated and feverish, especially in hot
weather, and this milk is not healthful ar
ticle of food either as milk or when made in-
to butter or cheese. cows that are abused
kicked, or roughly treated, cannot give good
milk, no process of manufacture can make
it into so good an article Of diet as milk that
is not injured by such treatment. Never let
the dogs chase the cows. A worriment of
this kind not only lessons the quantity, but
Injuries the quality of the milk, and it should
be carefully avoided. Dogs are generally
curse among a herd of cattle, and porticu-
larly so among milch COWS, unless they are
trained to drive and tend them, as few of
our dogs PlOughnldR.

iR- LIFE Insurance DurY,-"I will be as
snred. .''--shyloek. DIR, Cumming says: Every
man ought to insure his life. Some people think
that this is want of trust in God The contrary
is true. 1t is common sense, and common sense is
never iuconsist ent with the Word of God But some
people say, when you insure your life, is it not
something very like gambling or specuating, or at
least something very like not having confidence in
God The Insurance of life is one Of the most
christian things that know for what Is 1t! 1t Il
taking tho load that would crush enc family, and
spreading it over twenty thousand families; 50 that
mere drop lights upon each, instead Of the over
whelming torrent falling upon one. 1t seems to me
beautiful illustration Of bearing one anothers bur
dens. And therefore, let every young man enter
ing upon life, every head of family in life, whether
high or ow set his house in order 80 far as to insure
his life It does not make him die sooner 1t viii
