When female emigration has done its

the impulse of such trying scenes as

placed upon her arms or fingers, that

Use Of Silence.

A pity that so few people understand
the full effect of we'll timed silence
How eloquent it is in reality Acquies
cence, contradiction, difference, disdain,
embarrassment and awe may all be
expressed by saying nothing 1t may
be necessary to illustrate this apparent
paradox, BY q few examples. Do you
seek an assurance of your ady-love's
affection? The fair one confirms her
lovers fondcst hopes by compliant
and asserting silence. Should you hear
an assertion which you may deem false,
made by some one Of whose veracity
politeness may withhold jou from openly
declaring your doubt, you denote
difference Of opinion by remaining silent
Are you receiving a reprimand from
superior? You mark your respect by
an attentive silence. Are you compelled
to listen to the frivolous conversation OF
a fopG You signify your opinion Of
him by treating his loquacity with con
temptuous silence. Again, how much
strife might have been prevented, how
often might the quarrel which by mutual
aggravation, has, perhaps, terminated in
bloodshed, had it been checked in the
commencement by a.judicious silence /?
Those persons only who have expert
enced them are aware Of the benci cial
effects ofthat forbearance, which to the
cxasperating threat, til c malicious sneer,
or the unjustly impu tated culpability,
shall never answer Il word. A soft
answer turns away wrath but sometimes
crring humanity cannot give this soft
answer in moments Of irritation; in such
cases, there stands the fortress of silence,
with doors wide open, as refuge for the
tired spirits until calmcr moments come
Think of this seriously, you who glory
in having the last word.

Celibacy.
Tns CHASTITY OF MEN AND WOMEN

The conditions of life arc more fatal
to men than 20 women. Althou sh the
proportion Of boys born in aly civilized
community is 10i to los to every 100
girls, greater number Of the latter
survive to reach maturity. In fact, in
nearly all countries there is surplus
of women. In England there are lO3
women to 100 men, and in America the
excess Of women is fully five per cent,
while in certain parts Of the United
States, such as Massachusetts, the
emigration of young men has made far
greater disparity in the numbers of the
sexes. From the surplus Of women
there would naturally follow the enforced
celibacy of the moro unattractive OF the
sex.
There are, however, other causes
which also tend to produce the same
result Prominent Among these is the
lack Of chastity among mon. Accord
ing to Mr.. Greg, whose "Litarary and
Social Judgments" has recently at
tractcd much attention, this latter cause
is more powerful than all otheru in pro
ducing tho celibacy Of SO large q um
ber. of English women. His remarks
ON the subject can be applied with equal
truth to the condition of things in this
country, and we, therefore, quote them ),
leaving the moral to bo drawn BY our
readers. Mr.. Greg remarks "Il every
man among the middle and higher ranks
were compelled to lead a life of stainless
abstinence till he married, and unless
he married, we may perfectly sure that
every woman in those ranks would have
SO many offers, such earnest and such
nationally eligible ones, that no ono
would remain single, except those to
whom nature dictated celibacy as a voca
ton, or those whose cold hearts.

selishness, made them select it as

Witchcraft.

The following anecdote of the emf
ncnt Lord Chief Justice Hol. is worth
transcribing: His youth gave no
premontions Of his maturer excellence,
for he was unmanagcably wild, both at
Abingdon school, and Oriel college,
Oxford; and this incident comprises, in
a brief space, what he was then, and
the position he ultimately arrived at
An old, dccrepit woman being arraign
ed before him for witchcraft, he inquir
ed how it was proved; and being ans
wcred that it was by spell, he asked to
see it, and piece Of parchment was
handed to him. Having interrogated
the prisoner ms to how she obtain ed it,
she told him that young gentleman
gave it to her as cure for her daught
er's aguc, which it had cured and many
others. 81 am glad ofit," said Holt;
and then turning to the jury, he added !:
Gentlemen, when was young, thought
less, and had spent my money, l and
some companions equally unthinking
went to this woman's house-then a
public one; having no money to pay our
reckoning, | hit upon stratagcm to
get off scot free. Seeing her daughter
i'll, | pretended l had spoil to cure
her. / wrote the classic line you see;
so that, if any one is punishable, it is 1,
and not the prisoner" She was
acquitted, aud tho Chief Justice amply
recompensed her for the deceit he had
used toward her in former years.

Rust i'll Cotton,

Professor Stubb, of tho Alabama
Agricultural College, says true rust is a
fungus growth simila in its nature to
smut, mildew. etc. In examining with
the microscope the various ESQ called
rust. we find them entirely unlike in
different sections. We have found but
little information Oh this subject, but
since tt is source of much evil to the
Southern plaatcr, perhaps it may yet
elicit some attention from the celebrated
botanists and entomologist of the pre-
$ cnt day. BY examining some leaves
Of cotton we find that they have been
changed to bright yellow, tihged here
and there with red, and with occasional
marks OF brown. On others we find
rusty brown spots on the under side,
resembling incip;cnt rust while again
on others, we find yellow surfaces with
little or no appearance Of vitality, edges
curlcd up, and whole leaf seeming with
cred and dead. The first under the mi.
croscopc, gives no marks Of an insect.
on any part Of the lelf-thc growth is
vegetable, real fungus and is the true
rust. With a powerful microscope we
find the second to be the wo,k Of a min
ute red spider (gonus acarus) which at.
tacks the under side Of the le,ves, pune
turing them until they are stung and
spotted all over and finally fall from the
plant The third is caused by the cot
ton louise Ga specie Of aphis) which pier
ces the QUITE coating Of the leaves, on
the under side. From tho constant
drainage Of the sap by this insect, the
leaves are enioeblcd, curl up, turn yel-
low, and finally fall. Later in the sea
son young Shoots are also attacked and
are often completely covered by these
pests.
But there is another affection of the
cotton plant, which is found very preva
lent in alluvial bottoms, aud sometimes
in uplands. 1t is usually improperly
styled "black rust" but in reality is a
speci' of blight. An intelligent obser
yer thus describes it; "This blight %
pears very sudodnly. One day all of
the plants ola field may seem to be
perfectly healthy and vigorous, while
on passing through the same field son
the next day, many of them may be
observed with dropping leaves, as if af-
fcctcd by the head Of a midday sun. A
few days thereafter all the leaves will |
wilher and fall to the ground, leaving
the stem bare, though still greon and
the ready formed and in some cases
fully maturcd, opening bolls adhcring
to the branches. Alter rema iniug in a
state of apparent lilolcssness for some
time should rain and favorable growing
weather follow, tho affected plant will
often send up sucker from the crown
of the roots, and even sometimes young
shoots from the juncture of the bran
ches with the stem. This is the blight,
aud glance will show wide difference
fr ON the "red rust" In the latter the
leaves turn yellow and are blurred with
red, while in the former they suddenly
withcr and droop without changing to
yelloR, then turn brown and black, and
fall. The bolls also shrivel, dry np,.
and the whole plant gradually dies.
