In Tennessee, 81 per cent. of the cotton
crop has been picked. Si1ty-fve report
that with favorable weather picking will be

The Weld is averaged at l per cent. more
than in 1876 or % per cent. below the Sep
tembcr prospective, and per cent. better
than last wear after the frost which damaged
the crop 20 per cent Owing to the exces-

Cast a Line. for Yourself.

A young man stood listlessly watch
ing some anglers on bridge. He was
poor and detected. At last approach
ing basket filled with wholesome look
ing fish, he sighed:
1sIf now, l had these, would be hap
py. 1 could sell them at fair price,
and buy me food and lodgings"
81 will give you just as many, and
just as good fish," said the owner, who
had chanced to overheaI his words, ''ii
YOU will do me a trifling favor"
.And what is that 2" asked the other.
"Only tend this line till / come back.
1 wish to go on short errand."
The proposal was gladly accepted
The old man was gone so long that the
young man began to be impatient
Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped
greedily at the baited hook, and the
young man lost all his depression in the
excitement of pulling them in /; and
when the owner of the line returned, he
had caught large number. Counting
out from them as many as were in the
basket, and presenting them to the
young man, the old fisherman said:
81 fulfill my promise from the fish yor
have caught, to teach you, Whenever
you see Others earning what you need
to waste no time in fruitless wishing
but cast line for yourself. Rurd
