CorToS SEED AND CoTToN PLANT.
IyG.-In cotton culture it is the
worst of bad management to plant
inferior seed, because it would cost
something to buy the best; but, as
we have repeatedly urged eve J
planter should, by cortinu i sele :
ton and high cultivation, make his
own seed, and take pride IN hav'
ing the best. Begin with the Dick
son seed, or any better sort, il
there be any better; and improve
upon that till you have something
as mach better than the Dick
as the Dickson is better than tile
common. We are accustomed tc
boast Of the perfection to which
cotton culture has been brought
in this country, and with some
reason, but there is still room to'
.improvement-sometEing to learn
by those not too wise il their OWN
conceit to accept new truths. Only
general rules for the culture Of any
crop can be given, when they are
to be applied to various conditions
Of soil, climate and season. Ex'
perience must. determine the ex-
ceptions and good Judgment guide
the planter at every step.-R.Ta'

4 WoRn TO HrsgASDs,-It is not

A WORD TO HUsBASDs.-It is not
sufficient to give your wife money
enough, to furnish her house lux
uriously, and all that sort Of thing.
That is only being a good provlder
not entirely a good husband.
What a wife needs more than this
is love, and that, or rather the de-
monstration of its existence, is
what she. .oftenest misses. Weary
is her woman's heart many a time,
and often, when you know not Of
it, weary unto death. Yet she
could give 10 reason for it that
YOU could understand.
Lies possibilities weigh always
on a woman's soul. What may be
is an awful anguish to her; what is
almost impossible, may be to her
an everlasting dread. Her whole
being is rather ideal than real, and
Just as children see more in their
TOYS than we can, so she sees more
in what you deem life's .playthings
than you could imagine.
The forgotten kiss, the neglected
birthday, the careless look, the
touch unanswered by any respon-
sive touch-to the wife whom you
once courted So anxiously, these
are agonies intelerable. 1t is not
enough that you love her; she eau
never take this for granted; let her
see it, and let other women see it,
and so you will bind her heart to
yours as you could not by the gift
of all the diamonds in Golconda.
i word of praise find appreciation
is easy to give, and you don't
know how it will help her.

The PATENT CoMglSAT1o:, LOCK-
Mr.. Rafferty,, of Darby, has less
faith in the Patent Combinaticn n
Lock" than he formerly had. He
bought one a few weeks ago, and
placed il upon the front door OF
his store. He chuckled as he went
to bed that night to think how he
checkmated the fraternity of bur-
glars. But in the morning he for
got the combination by which the
key was to be fixed, and when he
tried to open the lock he couldn't.
He worked at it all that day, ard
during the entire week he had the
locksmith down from the city en-
deavol.ing to pick the lock, and
meanwhile his business was entirely
suspended, and his customers all
went to tile rival store over the
way. Finally he got a fence rail,
and, leveling it like a battesing
ram, he broke the door to splinters.
When he got in he found that
burglars had had one Of the back
windows open for four nights, and
had nearly cleaned the' place out
while he was agonizing over that
lock. There have been madder
men in Darby than Rafferty,, but
very few who have felt SO mad all
over, from toe-nails to hair, as
Rafferty, does now.-Jiar Adeler.

KILLING GRASS AND BUYING Hay
1t is a little singular that a people
engaged actively for half the year
in killing grass cannot grow grass
cannot grow grass enough to feed
their stock. The mistake has been
in trying experiments, in turtle
efforts to make foreign grasses
whip out natives. If a little Of the
pains taken to grow cotton wss
used to make crab grass meadows
er secure swamp grass, we could
have an abundance Of forage. Any
piece of upland that will grow
twelve or fifteen bushels of corn
per acre ploushed up and narrowed
in April, will yield more money
value for the labor bestowed than
in any other crop.-Ru'ul Caro-
. iniUl.

The Value Of a Newspaper.

A mechanic tells al interesting
story of how he was induced to
take a newspaper, and what came
of it, as follows:
Ten years ago I lived in a town
in Indiana. On returning home
one night-for I am a carpenter
by trade-I saw little girl leave
nv door, and I asked my wife who
she was. She said Mrs. Harris
had sent after their newspaper
which my wife had borrowed. AS
we sat down to tea my wife said to
me:
II wish you would subscribe for
the newspaper; it is so much com
fort to me when you are away from
home"
Il would like to do so" said I,
but you know I owe a payment
on the house and lot. 1t will be
all I can do meet it."
She replied: eff you will take
this paper I will sew for the tailor
to pay for it." :.
1 subscribed for the paper; it
came in due time to the shop.
While reading one noon and look
ing over it I saw an advertisement
of the county commissioners to let
q bridge that was to be built. l
put in bid for the bridge, and the
lob was awarded to me. on whach
T cleared $4,000, which enabled me
to pay for my house and lot easily
. and for the newspaper. Ii l had
not subscribed for the newspaper
I should not have known anything
about the contract, and could moi
have met my payment on the house
and lot. A mechanic never loses
anything by taking a newspaper.

Busting Music.

Our heighbor Chubb has not
much of all ear for music, but he
has spent a considerable sum il
having his daughter taught how to
hammer a piano, and he is proud
of her accomplishments. He was
talking with us over the fence the
other day when a series of dread
full sounds came from his piano,
through the open parlor window.
Presently Chubb remarked:
do you hear that Adeler? Just
listen to that, will you? That's
what I call music"
Then there was a few additional
bangs on the instrument, a flourish
or two, and then more cordant
humping.
"Splendish isn'tit?" said Chubb.
Mary James Dustin the music out
of that machine you observe
Them's the Strauss waltzes, / be-
lieve she is raslin with now. Just
listen"
We remarked that, from the en-
ergy displayed, Mary Jane at least
seemed to be really in earnest.
But whether she was doing Mr..
Strauss exactly right is an open
question.
Il don't know nothing about
music, Adeler," observed .Chubb,
''but I kin tell the real thing when
I hear it, and I kin sit and hear
Mary Jane play them waltzes and
the Maiden's Prayer until it makes
me cry like child"
We asserted that if she played
those compositions as she was do
ing now, it would make anybody
cry. A deaf mute shed tears.
':Listen to that now, will you?"
exclaimed Chubb, as a wild tumult
of sound came from the parlor.
'Isn't that splendid? If you didn't
know it was Mary Jane a-tearln
around among them waltzes, I'd
think it was one of them fellows
who play st the concerts. Let's
go over aud see her"
We entered the house and sought
the parlor. Mary Jane was no.
where to be seen, bnt to the inf
mite disgust of Chubb there was a
red .lraired man, with a fist as big
rs loaf of bread, tuning the pi-
ano. Chubb asked us not to tell
anybody, and we wont. 1t is re-
lated here in confidence, and it
must go no further.-Mar 4Adeler.

up,v AZ YorT Go THE farmer

"PAY As You Co. The farmer
cannot succeed until he learns to
live on what he makes after it is
made, and not on what he expects
to make before it is made. Many
years ago, an economical, thrifty
farmer. was asked by a large cotton
planter, why it was that, though
he was called a poor farmer and
made much less to the hand than
many of bis neighbors, he was
prospering, while they, with all
their broad acres and heavy crops,
were onsta7tly falling in;o debt
and lecoming embarrassed. He
replied: You begin at the wrong
end, you buy your supplies at the
beginning cf tie year on credit; |
buy mine at the end for cash.
This was the true secret OF the
difference. Mr.. McDutfie, in an
agricultural address, delivered
thirty years ago, in the hall Of the
General Assembly at Columbia,
introduced, in connection with TINS
subject, the language OF that
remarkable statesmen, John Ran
dolph, who in the midst Of one OF
his brilliant rhapsodies in the Uni
ted States Senate suddenly paused
and exclaimed with the utmc 81 ten

SPOILED BAcoN.-A colorel man
from the country happened into
Vicksburg, and was looking round
to buy some bdcon. de at last
purchased some of a rascally deal
er at a very low figure, but soon
discovered that it was spoiled. The
dealer refused to take it back, and
the colored man brought the Of
fender before Trial Justice. The
