CLOTHES AND WORSHIP.

A writer IN st. PduPs Magazine de-
scribes the worship of fashionable
congregation, as follows:
"Madge Wildfre stuck straws in her
hair, and the humane pitied her; only
the cruel laughed at her. But Mrs.
Smith comes to her devotions with half
a sheaf of artificial wheat on her head
las trimming for two guinea bonnet)
and no one seems to think it an odd
item in her toilet. With a cloth hood,
or part of shawl turned over her head,
Mrs.Smith wouldlook like the good, kind
soul that she is; but with all the beard
of the wheat ears bristling round her
face, she is as little like a sensible
woman as she is like Ceres. Capt.
Horshue-Pinn confesses on his knees
that he is a sinner, and his 'sackcloth
and ashes consist of the tightest gloves
and boots, the 1oudest' of ties, and
jewelry typical of his sporting tenden-
cies. The Lady Angela mourns her
transgressionssn spotless attire, think
ing of that horrid shabby woman who
brushed against her as she came into
church"

SOUTHERN CROP NEWS.
From the Eufaula (AIa.) News.


We learn from farmers that the cotton
caterpillar fly has made its appearance
IN this and adjoining counties. If the
cotton crop is destroyed in this section
by these pests this year as it was last.
the majority of our farmers will be ut
terly bankrupt.
From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger.
We learned yesterday from a
well-known planter, who runs several
large farms IN Lee and DOugherty
counties. that the late rains have given
all growing crops a serious ''set- back. -
Before the rains the prospect was as
fine as could have been desired, pa tic
ularly as to oats. Now, however, rust
has made its appearance everywhere,
and the loss on that crop will be heavy.
Cotton is dying out every day, and corn
looks yellow and sickly.
From the Aberdeen (NIiss.) Examiner
Thousands of acres of corn in East
Mississippi will, in consequence of the
unprOpltlous weather that we have had
of late. have to be planted over again,
and If this entailed no greater loss
than that Of seed, it would be a heavy
burden to our farmers. We have heard
of some few good stands of corn in this
county, but as a general rule those who
have not planted have saved time and
labor and seed.

A Prophetic Vision of the Things to
Come,

A Prophetic Vision of the Things {
Come.
From the Memphis Appeal.
Shades of despair were falling fast,
As through this tranquil State there passed
A "party," filled with spirits choice,
Whose banner bore the strange device
"Twent-ee cents!r
Its brow was dark-its ewes below
Dripped like Niobe i'm her woe;
And DER the hills and valleys rung
The accents Of its plaintive tongue
"Twent-ee cents"
In happy homes il saw the light
of tallOw-wicks CLEAN mild but bright;
Altar the State-hOuse windows shone,
Then from its lips there came grOsn-
''Twent-ee-cents,'
go, STAY" cried friendly voices, crest,
Nor fret with cares Of State thy breast;''
But tears stood in its great blue eyes,
And loud the answer came, with signs,
''Twent-ee cents"
"Far better risk withercd branch
Than trust that shaky Avalanche"
To these kind words of pure good will
A voice replied, far down the hill,
"Twent-ee cents!'
On lection day, when people will
What men the State-hOUSe rooms shall fill,
They still could hear, "a il PRAYER
Were struggling through the groanlng air,
"Twent-ee cents"
Next day the sheriff fellows found
That party living loose around,
Still clenching in its beaten hand.
Ticket; they then could understand
"Twent-ee cents"
Then meath the sod, so dark and cold,
