Work for the Month.

TO havo O cotton crop nicely
housed, tho farmer should keep
well up with his cotton, as it opens,
during the present month"; he
falls b ,hind now, he will find il v.ry
difficult to catch up later in the
season. The days are still long
and tho weather warm--cvcry-
thing favorable to cotton picking,
except tho hcavy dow. The cot
ton picked during the first half Of
the morning should, by all means,
be summed before being packed
away in bulk. We do not write
this because wo suppose any of
our rca dcrs do not know that
damp cotton ought to be summed,
but because thcro is always a
strong temptation to neglect it.
1t involves trouble, should be
turned over, and must be watched,
to avoid the showers Of rain, etc.,

ing person will agrco with us that
the increased beauty of "samplc," !"

pay tho trouble Of drying. We
cannot, from personal experience,
decide between tho various gins
now before tho public.
Who're it can bo dono without
dotriment to tho cotton crop, it is
desirable to house corn during the
present or carly part Of the ensu
ing month, before the winter rains

is abundant it is well to storo it
away in the shuck, as corn is thcn
less troubled by wccvils or rats.

that wo are, in all respects Of char

The Great are Dying.

Recently throo distin nguishcd
men have passed away--Hon.
John Boil, Of Tennessee, Senator
Fessenden, and Genoral Rawlins,
Secretary Of War. The latter is
said to have boon tho only friend
Of tho South in Grants Cabinet.
Now that he is gone, the duty of
trusting to God FOR protection is
moro apparent. "Vain is tho holp
that man supplies" at best, but
whom those that are friendly are
taken out Of tho way, then we
must say with the Psalmist:
God is our refuge and our strength,
In straits present MD"
Gen. Sherman is tho successor
of Rawlins, pro tem., and if he is
disposed to make amends for the
evils ho has inflicted on US, the
way is open; lot him show Il
friendly hand.
Senator Fessendcn showed him,
self man in the impeachment OF
Andy Johnson. Doubtless he had
very poor opinion of A, j., but
he had too good an opinion Of his
own character and uprightncss tc
be influenced by party considcra
tions to give an unrightcous do,
cision against tho President. He
will be honored for his stand in
this matter, while those who could
stoop to n mean act, to carry party
schemes, will bo contcmned by
posterity, if not by the present
generation.
If Mr.. Bell had been tho only
candidate in opposition to Mr..
Lincoln for the Presidency, Lin.
coin would have been defeated, and
the war with all it's horrors, would
have bcen postponed indefinitely.
But it appears TO havo been so
ordered that three candidates
were to take tho field and weaken
each other, and 90 opon tho way
for Lincoln and tho war and the
ultimate overthrow Of the Gov
ernmcnt.
But lot us hopo for tho best.
Though tho great men die, God
lives and reigns, and may defeat
the schemes Of tho weak and wick
Odd. Il. Presbyterian.

RApIDlTY or TnoUUllrlN DREAM,

stance, and an important poinp OF

rather with which the material
changes on which the ideas de-

pear as if whole series Of acts
that would really occupy a long
lapse Of timo pass ideally through
tho mind in ono instant, We
hnvc in dreams nopcrcoption oftho
lapse Of timo-a strange property
Of mind for if such be also it's
property when entered into the
eternal discmbodicd state, time
will appear to us eternity. The
relations Of space as well as Of
time arc alao annihilatcd, SO that
while almost an eternity is com.
pressed into Il m0mont, infinite
space is travorscd moro swiftly
than by roal thought. There arc
numerous illustrations Of this
principle on record. A gentleman
drcamt that he had enlisted as n
soldier, joined his regiment, dc
serted, was apprehcndcd, carried
back, tried, condemned to be shot,
and at last led ont for execution.
After the usual preparations II

and awakened him. A friend OF
DR.. Abccrombio drcamt that he
had crossed tho Atlantic and spent
fortnight in America. In en-.
barking, on his return, he fell IN,
to tho sea, and, awakening in the
fright, found that he had not bcon

Dlslnfeotants.

Somo ono says that hoxious
eWuUia are absorbed in an incrodi-
bly, short space Of time, if two or
throo onions arc cut in thin slices,
and put Oh q plate, to be renewed
overy six hours. This is just as
true as that tho smarting from tho
scratch of n pin becomes instanta-
ncously unfelt if the porson is
knocked down. The only safo,
hcalthful and eFectual method of
keeping sick room "swoct," is
to keep everything scrupulously
dry and clean instantly remove
every article Of clothing or bod
ding which has an atom Of damp
ness or moisture upon it.; do not
allow even pure water to stand a
moment in the apartment ; let tho
fireplace be always kept open,
with q frequent and free admis-
sion Of the pure and the fresh air
from out doors. This should be
done every two or three hours
during tho twcnty-four. 1t is tho
pure mir that sick pcoplo wnnt,
not an atmosphere loaded with
tho fumes Of onions, tor in a pint
Of air they displaco just as many
particles Of fresh air IA would
burnt sugar, cologno-water, or
the sulphurrettcd hydrogen Of Tho
out house; for be it remembered,
it is not the odor which does tho
mischief SO much as tho deficiency
Of nutritious PARTICLES of tho at
mosphcre which it tal1os the place
of. The greatest humanity we
can show tho sick is TO secure to
them the most important remedies
ever known-to wit: quiotnoss,
cleanliness, and pure air. These
alone would cure threo-fourths OF
all our diseases, but we will not
use them yet they arc every

Once more we dream we're free;
Once more our vivid fancy brings
Sweet mumory's treasured store,
And We tread dear Dixie's soil,
Aud fight our battle DER;

Our lives, our hopes on thee;
On thought We grasp again our swords,
Resolved to dio with Ice.
,Tis but dreaming, Uncle Robcrti
Our banner loved is flrled,
And Of our glorious struggle gone
Scarce thinks needless world.
Our>hopes have gone-our cause forgot,
Unsung our myriad dead:
And from our bosoms yesterday
Hopes shadows cen have fed;
Yet grasping now thy noble hand,
Old memories sweet OF thee,
Arise nnd speed our bonison-
God bless thee, Robert Lcci x.l.
Thy good gray head relentless time
Has siivcrcd whittier now,
And pressed his wvinkled signct OIL
Thy noble, stainless brow
Thy form he howcd-yct durst not steel
The lofty, kirgly min,
That stamped thee, leader Ia ench frnv,
