We know the planters are very sensi-
tive whenever an editor presumes to give
them advice. At the risk of incurr;no,
their displeasure, and perhaps their ridi-
Guile, we viii suggest the propriety of pre-
pairing more land for corn than thew did
last year, and to break their lands atleasf
three inches deeper. The finest steel
plows can be purchased in our market.
and there is no excuse for shallow plow-
ing with the best implements at the COM
mand of the planters, A few practical
men contend that it is cheaper to make
cotton and purchase corn meat, but when
we calculate the cost involved in paving
extra hands, to pick large cotton crops
and the loss Of the cotton in the fields.
the argument in favor oflarger corn crops
is strengthened. -Caddo Gazette.

There Is no doubt whatever but that such
American Grand Lodges as have not ms yet
held their Annual Communications will fol-

taboo every French Mason until the Grand

for its infamous conduct. The letter Is as

TRUST THY GUIDE AND PEAR NOT.
He leads us on
BY paths we did not know.
Upward He leads us, though our steps be
slow,
Though OF we faint and falter by the way
Though storms and darkness Oft obscure the
day,
Yet, when the clouds are gone,
We know He leads us on.
He leads Us on
Through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and oouDts'
and fears,
He guides our steps, Through all the tan
gled maze
or sin, of sorrow, and DER clouded days
Weknow His will Is done;
And still He leads US on.
And He, at last
After the weary strife,
After the restless fever We call life
After the dreariness, the aching pain
The hayward struggles which have proved
in vain
After our tolls are past
Will give us rest at last.

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most efFectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady IL Is COM
bincd from the most active rcmedials that have
been discovered for the expugation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure OF
not only Scrofula, but also those other alice
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ASTHoSY's FINE,
RosE, or ERysrELAs. PDirLEs, PusTuLEs,

BASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, IDENTITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED or IMPURE BIoop. The popular belief
in iD,p,pity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regcnerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Singular Story Of good Fortuae-A Young
Married Lady left 800, 900 By Her
Murdered Uncle IN Germany.

An exemplifcation of the old proverb
that sit is better to be born lucky than
rich" has just come to light in Newark,
New Jersey, in the person of young
married German lady, the wife of Mr..
John NJ Neiber, residing in Prince street,
in the above city. According to reliable
authority, it appears that she and her hus-
band are natives of Wurtemberg, Ger
many. They have only been in this coun-
try some eight or nine months, and had
Just got married prior to leaving home
Twenty years ago an uncle of Mrs. Nei-
Der, named Reisse, left Germany and
started for California, where for time he
made slow progress in the road of wealth.
With sturdy persistence he kept at the
diggings, until at last the tickle goddess
Dame Fortune smiled a most gracious
smile, and in the twinkling of an eye Mr..
Reisse, from being in a state of great need
was the joyful possessor of $14, 900 mug
get. His luck had changed, and in the
course of few years he was worth at
least $50, 900.
In the Golden State Mr.. Reisse re-
NAMED for considerable length of time,
subsequently meeting many up and downs
monetarily. He left there, however,
quite wealthy, came East and settled
down into blissful bachelorhood. In the
mean time he had repeatedly written for
his niece, but she deferred crossing the
Atlantic until she had changed her name.
At about the time she and her newly
elected sposa arrived in New York, the
uncle was half way on his way back to
Germany He arrived in Bremen, where
he was attacked by cut-throats and fatal
" stabbed, so that he died in three days.
1t has since transpired that by the provi-
sions of his will the bulk Of his property
is bequeathed to his niece, who, with her
husband and legal adviser, is now ma
king preparations to start for Germany
on an early day. The fortune left Mrs.
Neiber is said to be in excess of $780,
600. The foregoing statement is vouch-
ed for by several German residents OF
Newark of the highest responsibility. II
it be true, and there appears not the
slightest doubt but that it is, one may
well exclaim that truth is stranger than
fiction. New York Herald

FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure aud proteo-
