"How TO GET RID OF THE Cur WORN" -
Editor Southern Cultiuator: Although not a
farmer, my greatest delight is in the Farm,
Orchard and Garden, and everything of in
terest to these branches of industry, is highly
priced by me.
"How to get rid of the Cut Worm," is of
much interest to the farmer and gardener, and
every one can do it, with but little trouble or
expense-in fact the simplicity of the plan is
very likely the reason why it is not universal
ly adopted. tits, to plant one or more China
Pride of India) trees and every fall gather
the leaves and berries and mix with all the
manure used, taking care to destroy the vi
tality of the seed by heating or otherwise. If
a moderate quantity of the leaves, stems and
berries be composted with all manure used
and applied to the plants, no fear need be
felt of "Cut Worm" There will be none to
trouble plants MANFRED with this compost.
The China tree grows easily and very rap
idly in all the middle and Southern States,
and many persons consider it quite ornamen-
tai. I would be obliged to you if you would
place this matter before your readers, asking
of them a trial, which will prove successful in
every case fair y tested. N. L. CLOUD.

WILLOW HIsTL Les.

BY OLIVE H. wADSwoRTH.
The world is wide awake to-day,
The LATEST drones are bustling,
The brook slips by, the wind is gay,
And every leaf is rustling;
This shady bank, meath beach and oak,
With lance-like grasses bristles,
And you and I, two idle folk,
Sit making willow whistles.
Oh heavenly sunshine of the May,
Succeeding Winter hoary,
What shade can shut its light away,
What gloom resist its glory?
Down through our leaty canopy,
Dart myriad golden missiles,
And gild the brooks, the banks, the trees,
And even the willow whistles.
Such wealth of leaf! such worlds of green!
Such balm, no words can utter!
And all the birds that ever were seen,
Have gathered here to tlutter;
They pertly perch, with heads away
Upon the swaying thistles,
And evidently wonder why
We're making willow whistles.
How dare you, comrade. trifle so,
In these grand forest temples,
And laugh, and beat your sappy bough,
And set me bad examples
Such songs of praises here arise,
And never were found in MiSSals,
And we should hearken, were we wise,
Instead of making whistles.
They say the worlds a vale of tears,
And man is born 10 trouble
The words sound Idly in my ears
Beside the brooklet's bubble;
Friends change, fear, and hopes grow pale,
The tairest project tizzles,-
I'm glad there's no such word as fail
In making willow whistles.
The brook shows back two heads of brown,
Though one'sa prettier color,
4 Titan hue-no need to frown,
I've said but which is duller;
They'll be the same, both yours and mine,
When time their BROWNIES grizzlies,
And then We'll laugh at Auld Lang Syne,
When we made willow whistles.

THE WAYS OF PROVIDENCE.

Gods providential dealings with his people
are often mysterious; but they are always
wise. Rarely do we see or fully understand
what God is about to perform, until the act is
completed; and even then, we see through a
glass darkly. The whole history of the world
teaches US that God made nothing in vain;
but all things were brought into existence for
special purpose. The declaration of God
himself, concerning all the works of creation,
was, that "all was very good" The same is
true respecting the works of providence. God,
in providence, does nothing in vain. Every
act, however small or insignificant it may ap-
pear in the eyes of any of his creatures, is
done with some fixed and settled design.
In their beginning, all Gods providential
acts are small. They are like the cloud that
the servant of the prophet deserted rising out
of the sea. 1t was not larger than mans
hand-a mere speck on the face of the sky.
1t gathered, increased, and spread, until the
whole heavens were covered with blackness,
and the earth deluged in wafer
In the accomplishing of his providential
purposes, God rarely is in a hurry. With
implicit confidence in his wisdom and power,
he takes his time. Sometimes it consumes
the whole of single individuals life to bring
about single providential purpose of God.
Not unfrequently, several successive genera
tous of men pass away before some particu-
lar providental purpose of God is fully de-
veloped.
The means which God employs to accom-
plsh his providential designs, are often appa-
rently insufficient and inappropriate. A sim
gle man is often chosen as an instrument with
which to reform whole continent. Weak
and feeble as the means which God selects
to bring about his purposes may appear, they
cannot be resisted successfully. God never
fails. Whatever he undertakes he accom-
plshes. Men may undertake to thwart God
in his purposes, but discontinue, sudden and
irremediable, awaits them. No man is safe
who opposes the providences Of God. His
destruction may slumber, but like the exter-
mination of the Amelekites, it will certainly
come.

I'm just little boy, you know,
And scarcely can remember,
When people ask how old am,
10 tell 'em four last 'vember.
And yet for all am SO small,
l made so many stitches
For mammals fingers that she put
Her little boy in breeches.
You may be sure that was glad
1 marched right up and kissed her,
Then gave my bibs and petticoats,
And all to baby sister.
1 never whine, now Pm so fine,
And dontget into messes;
For mamma says, if am bad,
She'll put me. back in dresses!
I'd like to tell you how look,
And will, if am able:
My eyes are black, my hair is white,
I'm taller than the table.
Sometimes pass the looking-glass,
And, peeping in, see there
A round-faced, rosy, roguish boy,
And mamma says it's me there.
There's buttons up and down my legs,
I'd count 'em all, but baby makes,
Just now, an awful racket,
She's sitting there. behind the chair.
With blocks and dolls and kitty
A playing "go to mammals house,"
Alone, and that's pity.
think III go and help her some,
I'm sure it would amuse me,
So won't bother any more
To talk-if you'll excuse ME.
But first I'll stand before the glass
From top to toe it reaches;
Now, look there's head, and hands, and fee
And all the rest is breeches!

REMEDY FOR CHICKEN CHoLERA.-B. H.
Knapp, Esq, of this city, in communication
to the Atlanta Sun, states that he has found
a mixture of two ounces each of red pepper,
alum, rosn and sulphur, to be an infalible
remedy for this scourge of the poultry-yard,
and adds:
"Last summer lost more than fifty COM
mon fowls from cholera, my Buff Cochins
not being at all affected. When glancing
over the columns of the Rural Neao Yorker, I
chanced to see the above mixture recommen-
ded, and tried thinking one tablespoonful
in three pints of scalded meal; and though
several fowls were in the last stages of the
disease, they recovered and I have not lost a
chicken since. In severe cases I would ad-
wise giving about one-third of teaspoonful
in a meal pellet to each fowl every day till
we'll. Put a small lump of alum, say the size
of hickory nut, in their drinking water"
