Japan Glover.

We publish below a. letter from a
gentleman from South Carolina to
A. G. Mayors, Esq, Of Rankin coun-
ty, in regard to this wonderful clio
YER, adding his testimony as to its
value;
RANKIN COUNTY, Oct. 8. 1868.
DEAR SIR-The plant noticed on
your grounds is the Japan clover,
Uespedeza Striata,) a leguminous
plant with small purplish flower,
and containing q single seed in each
legume. 1t is a native OF Japan,
and was not noticed in this country
till about twenty Years; ago. It is
propagated by the seed being carried
by horses hoops, wheels, and by
other natural agencies, and is always
first found IN roads, camping grounds,
and especsalIy in the track Of the
armies during the war. 1t adapts
itself to any situation, growing well
in the shade of trees, or in open
ground, on hills or in valleys, sand
or clay, wet or dry places. All kind
of cattle eat it with avidity, and
thrive as well IN il as on the RED
clover Of Virginia. Tramping on il
does not seem to iniurc it, but it i,
readily DESTROYED by the pillow, onc
turning il under crlen enriches Tho
land. Where il has grown, for sev.
eral years il has choked out all othri
weeds-even broon grass. thinl
it a perfect god-send to our Southern
country, if for nothing else for it,
agen,y in roofing ont noxious weed
with which our lands are cursed ant
l would advise every farmer to get |
few seed, by which he may soon hav,
his place stocked.
Respectfully, yours, -

An UNsPoTTED CHARACTER
Money is a good thing, especially in
these hard times, but there is some
thing thousand times more yalua-
bic. 1t Characteristic conscious
ness of a pure and honorable life.
This should be q mans first aim TO
preserve at any cost. In times OF
commercial distress, while some arc
proved and found wanting, Others
come forth tried as by FIRE. Here one
comes out Of the furnace far more oi
man than before. Amid the wreck
of his fortune he stands erect--a no
BILE specimen of true manhood. We
have occasionally witnessed an exam
pie of courage in such a crisis, OF
moral intrepidity that deserved all
honor. let il be the aim OF every
business man, above all things else, to
keep this purity unstained. This j.
the best possession-this is the capi-
tai which can never be taken fropl
him-this is the inheritance which
he can leave his childron. -ts

Close OF LIFE.-When the sum-
mer of youth is slowly wasting into
the nightfaIl of age, and the shadows
of the past year grow deeper and
deeper, and life wears to it, close, it
is pleasant to look back through the
dim vista Of time upon the sorrows
and fetieities ofi our former years. II
we have home to shelter US, and
have friends to gntber around our
fireside, then the rough places Of our
wayfaring will have been worn and
smoothcd away in the twilight ot
life. while the sunny spots we have
passed through will grow brighter

II claims to have derived from the
