DEEP -Ploughing is simply
a mechanical action, and as such, is of the
greatest Importance to the growing plant By
proper pulverization, you make the home of
the plant more comfortable, allowing free
movement of its lower limbs, in whatever d-
rection instinct may select Again, when in
proper tilth, the plant can send its spongiole
roots in every direction in quest of food, so
.hat nctaphorically speaking, "no pent-up
utica," made so by barriers of hard, impene-
powers or circumscribes the limits in which it
shall draw its supplies. But good mechanical
action leads to and is productive of chemical
action-so their increased fertility is often su-
perinduced by proper culture Certain organic
and mineral matters in the soil require the free
access of the air in order that the oxygen of
the latter may exert its influence in bringing
the former into soluble or available food for
the plants. The more and deeper stir the soil
quicker and more effective this action. 1t
matters not for this purpose whether we turn
the soil or not, the great object is to let in the
air. Again, by deep ploughing we render the
soil warmer. This can be tested by placing
the thermometer alternately upon shallow and
deep-ploughed lands, and the latter will always
show an increased temperature, and warm
temperature is one Of the favorable conditions
of plant life. Again, we increase by deep
blowing the capacity o! the soil for retaining
moisture, and thus partially perfect it against
drought which our summers usually bring
Indeed, we can not even estimate properly the
great good accomplished by keeping the soil
constantly moist and warm-two things in
sured by deep NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Plantation.

Late one evening a valiant cong
ueror Of cOrnjuice stood on Fulton's
corner and defantly yelled, @Hurrah
for HEIR Unfortunately there was
no one present pious or brave enough
to respond "Hurrah for Heaven and
the Devils champion, feeling him
self cock of the walk, yelled again
and again for the land of his choice.
Presently some one suggested that
Marshal might arrest him for disor-
derly conduct, upon this he became
more violent than ever, and defed all
the Marshals that ever walked to ar
rest him, asserting with the whole
vocabulary of profanity his opinion
of such officers and his determine
ton to hustle the last one of them in
to that red-hot portion of eternity
I for which he had himself expressed
such a decided preference, in case
they attempted to disturb him.
About this time Marshal Rankin
came along, and gently touching his
elbow, snapped out decided request
for his company to the Mayor'soffice.
To say that he wilted would not half
express the truth. His belligerency
collapsed all at once and he melted
down into the meekest little lamb

siyely along with the Marshal he
was overheard to say: "oh Mr.. Ran

As he mounted his horse he said to
himself in trcmulous, terrified
voice, sI-rm going home!" he

Don't Let Your Child Tattle.

Never listen to small unpleasant
statements made by your child, If
they relate to his fellows. Not that
a child should ever be made to feel
that he has no sympathy in his small
troubles, but it justas easy, andeven
easier, to teach him chivalric senti-
mcnt OF endurance while he is in the
beginning of his childhood as it is
afterward. Ifhis companion be self,
ish and arrogant, show him how dis,
agreeable and despicable quality it
is, and instruct him to abhor it in it,
self. Complaining is itself a mean
spirited thing, and tattling is still
worse, and child cannot too soor
comprehend its baseness. And here
wise, strong and careful distinct
ion must be made. While the cbilC
is brought to feel the sympathy o
the mother, and an entirely conf
ding habit is encouraged about mat.
tiers that relate soley to himself, the
small faults of his fellows arc moi
subjects to be included in this conf
dence-they are to remain forever
unspoken to her or to anybody. OF
course we do not mean that i knowl,
edge of criminal conduct in a com,
panion should be told in the most sa.
cred trust and secrecy, as one would
confess their own sins to their Maker.
The small petulances, trifing mis-
deeds, ogantassumptions, demands
for the best positions when at play,
greed for sweetest pleasures by play
mates, very naturally rouse dissen-
sions among small people, just as
they do among maturer ones. 1t is
the mothers duty to discover these
unpleasant habits in her child's COM
napions; and while not encouraging
a statement from him in regard tt
them, she should not permit the prin-
c;ples involved in them to pass with
out making them subjects Of uscfCl
conversation. But the names of the
children who are involved in the
talks about misdeeds should never be
spoken of by the mother. The prin-
ciples of justice and honor are en-,
ough for proper amount of discus.
sion and instruction. To make the
noble qualities of manhood and wo
manhood beautiful, their charms
should be familiar to the child, and
so interviewer in his young thoughts
that selfshness, petulancc, complain
ing, disappearing of others to make
his own way seem right, should all
seem sentiments unworthy Of him.

THE SLY THIEF.

When I was boy of twelve, my father
was merchant in a small village in the
State of Ohio. He paid strict attention to
business, had me in the store good deal
of the time to assist and SO had no need of
the services of moro than one clerk.
One day discovered the clerk, whose
name was John Hammond, in the act of
abstracting money from the drawer. He
coaxed and threatened me, and kept the
secret, but soon catching him at the same
offense again, informed father of the fact,
and Hammond was discharged. The place
was filled by an oldsh man, honest as the
day, and things moved along all right for
two weeks. Then, one evening when father
went to count the cash, he discovered that
two five-dollar bills had been stolen from
the drawer. He had taken them in him
self, not an hour before, and he was greatly
puzzled to account for their disappearance.
In those days merchants trusted their
clerks until they found them dishonest.
We had the old fashioned counters, with a
money drawer on each side of the store.
The drawers, or tills, were simply square
boxes, which showed under the counters,
and bills, silver and coppers we're thrown
in together.
Father questioned me sharply, but
could not guess where the money went to.
He had known Phletus Rathbone, the old
man, for twenty years, and he could not
believe him thief. No one had been be-
hind the counters, but the bills had taken
wings and could not be traced.
Next day was not in the store at all,
until just as they were putting up the
blinds, and preparing to close up for the
night. Father kept sharp eye on the
sort of money taken in during the day;
and when he came to count up for the night
he discovered that a five-dollar gold piece
and two silver half dollars had been taken
from the same drawer which had been rob-
bed the day before. 1t was between him.

would not steal from himself, and neither

Mississippi, in point of health, will COM
pare favorably with any State in the Union.
The mortuary statistics, as recorded in the
ninth Census of the United States, will
bear witness to this statement
Churches of the several denominations
are plentiful, and attended liberally. The
Baptist and Methodist are perhaps the
most numerous, while the Presbyterians,
Episcopalians, Disciples, Catholics, and
others have their share of attendants.
Our State has a good public school sys-
tenn. The average term of the public
achools, in the cities and large towns, is
nine months; in the country, six months;
and the average salary paid to teachers is
fifty dollars per month. Principals of
schools, in which there is an average at
tendance of one hundred or more pupils,
get a salary of one hundred dollars per
school month-twenty days. First grade
teachers get from sixty to seventy five dol
lars per month; and second grade teachers
get from thirty five to sixty dollars per
month.
In no other portion of the world can
labor find better or more profitable employ
ment than in Mississippi. Especially is
this true of agricultural laborers. Here
you have the virgin soil, enriched by GEN.

grasses and heritage, and the soil which

capital excepting your strong muscles and
hard hands, still we'll and good. You are
welcome to the best you can earn for your
self in the State.
