The Tropics.

A correspondent of Leisure Hours" in
ailuding to the MANY poisonous reptiles and
insects he met with in India, thus refers to
some of them with which he was familiar
There IS another most disagreeable nuis-
ance, experienced only by those who go out
in tents or sleep under trees 1t is the black,
hairy caterpillar, called by the natives Kam-
la. >" This is so very poisonous that if it
only falls on any one, or even if single
hair touches the body in any part, it pro-
duces most irritating rash, which spreads
rapidly over the whole body. | did not be-
heve this latter fact, about a single hair, till
l had myself experienced it in the following
way One day I saw small insect of this
kind creeping across my verandah. Know
ing well, how they ought to be avoided,
got bit of a stick TO push it away. |
had killed IT aud got it to the edge when
the stick broke, so | gave it one uch
with my slipper. Immediately after Iwiped
the slipper carefully on mat aud examined
it, to see If there were none Of the haIrs
sticking to it. | could see nothing of the
kind but one at least must have remained
though perhaps invisible, for few days al
terward, having occasion hastily to change
my clothes, some part of them touched the
s'iprers and then was drawn along my leg,
as 1t touched, the poisonous rash arose on
my skin, and for several days [ was almost
helpless, finding relief only from constant
application of butter. How this homeo-
pathic dose of poison acts on the system |
leave for c!everer heads to find out.
The centipede is another most annoying
insect. 1t sometimes creeps over the face
| and hanis of person lying asleep, who
wakes up in the morning with a most pain
| ful itching, which gradually rises into a
dangerous rash. Should the sleeper awake
at the time and attempt to pull the insect
off, it fixes its poisonous claws all the more
tightly into the skin, and will scarce let go
when touched with red hot iron. | have
myself escaped this torture, but have often
witnessed the sufferings of my friends.
! There is another very small prosecutor,
which gives annoyance chiefly to ladies'
| the flying bug This little insect, some
thing like a diminutire beetle, comes flying
into our rooms, during the rains, as sson q
the lamps are lit, and drops on our plates
and dishes, and even into our tumblers
leaving behind very strong and disagree
able odor 1t is sometimes almost anus
ing to observe the confusion caused by few
such little torturers at dinner party.
| was going to speak Of mosquitoes an,
other minor geological annoyances, but
have already SAID enough about what | ma
call the too familiar natural history of India

CLEARFIELD Pa WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER T. 1869
Beautiful AIlegory.

Once on time little leaf was heard to
sigh and cry, as leaves often do when gen
tie wind is about And the twig said;
What is the matter, little leaf?''
''The wind, said the leaf, '.iust told me
that one day it would pull me off, and throw
me down to die on the ground
The twig told it to the branch on which it
grew, land the branch toldit to the tree. And
when the tree heard it, it rustled all over,
and sent word back to the leaf.
DO net be afraid, hold on tightly, and
you shall not go Until you want to. And so
the the leaf stopped signing, bot went on
nesting and singing. And so it grew all
summer long until October And when the
bright days of Autumn came, the little leaf
saw all the leaves around becoming very
beautiful. Some were yellow and some scar
let, and some striped with both colors. Then
it asked the tree what it meant And the
tree said
''All these leaves are getting ready to hy
away, and they have put on these besutitul
colors because of joy"
Then the little leaf began to want to go,
and grew very beautiful in thinking of it,
and when it was very gay in coior,-it saw
that the branches of the tree had no color
in them, and so the leaf said
''Oh branch, why are you lead color and
we golden p
I'VE must keep on our work clothes, y
said the tree, for our life is not done yet /;
but your clothes are for holiday because your
task is over"
Just then little puff of wind came, and
the leaf let go without thinking of it, and
the wind took it up and turned it over and
over, and then whirled it like spark of fire
in the air, and let it fall gently down under
the edge of the fence among hundreds Of
leaves, and it fell into dream and never
walked up to tell what it dreamed about

all the cotton States are organized in
one general congress, for the purpose
of obtaining correct information as to
all the crops, and all these auxiliary to

upon their cotton, and not allow it to

to season. They will then have-only
to contend against the casualties aud

very seriously, at any time, If they

Every furn er should take one or
more agricultural journal. A single
number of the present Journal pub

together with the benefit desired from
these associations, you will learn to
prepare your lands better; to plant
your crops better, and in better time !;
to cultivate them better, and with
more ease, and with better imple-
ments, and to raise more manure, and
apply it better.
fear that some of you pay but lit
tie attention to raising manures, or
even to gather up and apply that which
is dropped about the lot; that YOU do
not raise garden vegetables, which in
fact is very important branch of
economy in family, and the saving
and making the manure to produce
them is more important, because, in
deed, the difference between good
economy and bad, in all things con-
sists in small things, not large ones.
/ hope you will pardon me for my
plain talk, but l have no diplomacy
but truth, and no argument but cam

me the President of your Agricultural
Association. You have made it my
duty to tell you what l think, and L
cannot shrink from duty, and by your
permission shall continue this plain
talk during the year, or so long as l
am placed at the head of your society;
and il you do not improve your modes
of culture, and increase your profits,

No sensible man can believe that he
knows more than everybody else put
together; therefore, he should, if he
is a farmer, read the agricultural jour
nails; go to the Fairs in his reach; test
(as best he cam all the new agricultu-
raj implements applicable TO his parti-
cular class of culture, and then adopt
that which in his judgment is best,
and reject all that is wrong, remem-
bering at the same time, tnat it is his
own personal interest that is either
benefited or injured by his wisdom or
folly in the premises.

BRAINS AND FARMING. - A
writer in the New Hampshire
Farmer, says the great trouble
with too many farmers is that they
rely on muscle alone for success
not that they lack brains, but de-
cline to use them. In other words,
they do not believe in book
farming" nor do they calculate as
clearly as men who have carried
on business as mechanics, manu-
facturers and professional men
generally. On this ground it is
assumed that, when one of this
class turns his attention to farm
ing, he rarely or never makes a
failure Of it, because brains are
made to do the planning, and
muscle, self-possessed or hired,
the execution.

Be she fairer than the day,
Or the fiowery meads In May,
If she be not so 70 me,

Shall my foolish heart be pinned,

Or a well disposed nature,

If she be not so to me,
What care how kind she be?
Shall woman's virtue move
Me to perish for her love:
Or her well-deserving known.
Make me quite forget mine own:
Be she with that goodness blest,
Which may gain her name of best,
If she be not such TO me.
What care l how good she be?
Cause her fortune seems too high,
Shall play the fool and die?
Those that bear a noble mind,
Where they want of riches find,
Think what with them they would do
That without them dare to WOO:
And unless that mind see,
What care | how great she be?

The COTTON WoRM-IMPoRTANT
To PLANTERS IF TRUE.-Another
remedy for the cotton worm has
been placed at our disposal by a
friend who has the interests Of his
country paper as well as his coun-
try at heart. 1t is simple, easy,
perfectly practicable, and said to
be unfailing, and is certainly
worth trial. He says plant the
Castor Bean all round every ten
acres of cotton throughout the
field, and not a worm will touch
it; or still better plan would be
to plant it every few rows through
out the field. If the beans could
not be gathered for market, there
would result no loss to the plant
err, from the fact that the plant is
one Of the best fertilizers known,
and the field would be improved
instead of injured for subsequent
crop. The depredations Of the
army worm cut off our crop last
year, and thus impoverished the
country thousands of dollars
The indications this season are
most favorable for this crop, and
it is but right that our planters
should make every effort to guard
against failure. 1t is well known
that no insect depredates upon the
Castor Bean, and it is probable
that it would be a protection to
the plants.-Gonzales (Texas) In
