Mr. Charles Ea 'ton of New York. who is fa-
vorably known as q cotton statstcian arrives
at the conclusion that the crop of 1s77-7s will
amount to about 400I 900 bales. T le crop Of
last year, which was ACT 900 bales larger than
this, leaves deficit of $50 900 bales in the visible
are estimated to be considerably smaller than a
year ago. These premises indica that, with
supplies from other quarters of the world equal
to hose of last year, the general supply will
fall short of current consumption by more than
1 600 900 bales.

ALEXANDER PoPE.-Pope was one eve.
ming at Burton's coffee. house, where himself,
and Swift and Arbuthnot, with several other
scholars, were poring over a manuscript CO.
py of Greek Aristophanes. At length they
came across sentence which they could not
comprehend, and as, in their perplexity, they
attracted the attention of q young officer, who
chanced to be in another part of the room, and
who approached and begged leave to look at
the passage. ,. -
"Oh by sll means" said Pope sarcastically
"Let the young gentleman look at it. We
shall bave light directly"
The young officer took up the manuscript
volume, and after a little study and consld'
Grafton his countenance frightened.
1T is but slight commission on the part
of the SCRIBE" he said, "it only wants note
of interrogation at this point to make the
whole Ineligible"
Pope saw in an instant that the officer was
right; but the thonght of being outdone in
Greek translation by mere youth, and red
coat at that, piqued him, and with sharp
bitter twang, he cried out:
"And pray, young sir, what is a note of in
terrogation 2"
"A note of interrogation, answered the
officer, surveying the wien hunchback poet
from head to foot with contemptuous look,
"s q little crooked thing that asks questions"

THE EMPTY CRADLE.


Sad is the heart of the mother
Who sits by the lonely hearth,
Where never again the children
Shall waken their songs OF mirth.
And still through the painful silence,
She listens for voice and tread,
Outside of the heart-there only
She knows that they are not dead!
Here is the desolate cradle,
The pillow so lately pressed,
But far away has the birding
Flown from it's little nest.
Grooming the lullabies over
That once were her babes delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows its upward flight.
Little she thought of moment
So gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart she gathered
Her child for it's good might kiss.
She should be tenderly cherished,
Never grief should she know,
Wealth, and the pride of a princess,
These would mother know.
And this is the darling's portion
In heaven, where she has fled;
BY angels securely guarded,
By angels securely led.
Brooding in sorrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows
Why it is all for the best? g.:
Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches of earthly crown;
Better the early morning flight ss'
Than one when the sun is down;
Better an empty casket
Than jewels besmirched with sin;
Safer than those without the fold
Are those that have entered in !

GREAsING AxLEs.-On the authority of the
Carriage Monthly, more injury is done to car.
riages and wagons by greasing too much than
the reverse. Tallow is the best lubricant for
wood axles, and castor oil for iron. Lard and
common grease are apt to penetrate the hub,
and work their way out around the lemons of
the spokes and spoil the wheel. For common
wood axles, just enough grease should he ap.
piled to the spindle to give it light coating.
To oil an iron axle, first wipe clean with a
cloth wet with turpentine, and tl:sn apply a
few drops of castor oil near the shoulder and
end. One teaspoonful is enough for the four
wheels. Carriages are sometimes oiled 80
much that their appearauceis spoiled by hav.
ing the grease spattered upon their vanished
surfaces.

WATER FOR STOCK.

While many farmers understand the neces'
sity of providing an adequate supply of fresh
water for his domestic animals, there are
many more who do not appreciate Its impor-
lance. The presence Of running water, or
limpid lake on farm, is great blessing, as a
supply of good water is thus provided of which
animals can avail themselves at will, If
the means of reaching it are afforded. But
on hundreds of farms, natural supply OF
water does not exist, and the wants Of stock
in this behalf must be met by artificial means.
There are not a few farms, too, where the
dependence for water consist of ponds that
are supplied by rainfalls and the melting
of the SHOWS of winter. This is poor reli-
ance; besides, the water, in majority of cases,
becomes stagnant and unfit for use, even if
it does not fail altogether, as the heat of sum-
mer comes on.
Observation and experience have taught
US that live stock, especially cattle, fall off in
general condition, and cannot thrive as they
should, when they are deprived of proper
supply of good, pure water. If water Is stag
nant it is quite as unfit for domestic animals
at for human beings; and it should not be
forgotten that the quality as well quantity
of milk, and butter and cheese, depends large:
ly on fresh, hea!thful water for the cows
It will not answer to limit the quantity Of wa
ter that cow shall drink, if full flow of
milk throughout the season is expected. Nor
is it good policy to drive stock half or quar-
ter Of mile twice day that they may slake
their thirst. Loss of time, liability to accidents,
and loss of condition, to some extent, follow
as results of this method, and thoughtful, judi
cious stock breeders, beef! P!producers and dairy
men, do not pursue it. The expenditure of
strength twice day in such journeys is no
incensderable tax on the vitality of the ami
NAL, and this vigor had better be saved to
the growth and improvement of each animal.
Besides, there are other factors that enter
into the problem which will suggest them
selves in each case.
We have incidently referred to cattle par
ticulary, but the same facts hold good with
all descriptions of live stock. 1t is an error
and a cruel one-to think that sheep can do
without water and not suffer. According
to their size they need it quiet as much as
other kinds of live stock, and he who cares
so little for his focks as not to supply them
with what water they require, will find out to
his cost that he is previously mistaken when
he comes to shear his sheep or turn them into
mutton.
On every farm where water is not naturally
supplied in ample quantity to conduct opera
tions satisfactorily and to the best advantage,
it is a matter of economy, as we'll as OF hu.
nanity, to provide it by artificial means, and
to supply all the necessary conveniences to
keep the supply constant, fresh and available
for all the stock on the Western RuraI.
