hard workers. They are generally styleu
"dead BEATS" but the term hardy Goes
them Justice. How do they live! lt Is
generally considered a mystery; ana
vet it is not so much OF a mystery a1tet
all. They live by doing things thas
nobody else will do-by fawnlng ana
cringing and leaning and playing llch-
Spite, and specializing in the character
of those about them. 1t is very dlsa-
greeable to do these things, but 1T pays.
Perhaps it might be said that sucil

them is second nature which demands
no great effort on their part: Ihey

running up larger bill. And no one
who has not watched the career OF such
people has the least idea how long 1t IS
possible to live upon credit: we have

others to subsist for a much larger

People Who Never Work.
[City Iten.l

It is an old saying that the harder
men work the less money they make;
and this is true in a certain general run,
for the very excellent reason that peo-
pie who overwork themselves can not
possibly do first-class work, and how
ever naturally capable of better things,
their productions can never rise above
mediocrity. There can be no finish, no
refinement, no art in the commonplace
ness Of hurried work. Overwork is
necessity with many, because there is
no demand for the far superior products
Of finished and well-paid labor which
require thought and time and art. Con
sequently with many, overwoik also
becomes second nature. There is an
Intoxicating excitement about it; and
the capacitv Of some Americans in GER
tain professions and trades to turn out
vast amount Of hastily wrought work
within certain time, almost exceeds
belief. In Europe certainly the Ameri
can capacity for OverwOrk could not be
credited by any who had not seen it.
But when overw0rk becomes habitual
mediocrity also becomes habitual as a
necessary consequence, Men of great
natural capacity are spoiled for great
things by the total lack of time to cul
tiyate what is in them, and disheartened
by total absence of popular apprecia-
ton of higher and better things.
hut the capacity of certain people to
| live without working at all is not less
wonderful than the capacity Of some to
| work too much. There are people who
in the course Of ten years do not earn
a hundred dollars. who nevertheless are
never in want Of clothes, of shelter, and
of the necessities Of life. Nay, some OF

Cotton picking by machinery has

the problem. He says that it is fact
that the bolls viii continue to ripen
and omen in due time if the plant is cut

dificuIty id separating the cotton from
the boil by machinery, it the stalks can

Invented aud works we'll. But every
fling depends on the truth of Mr..
Gnckeriilfs assertion that cotton in IT'S
last stages will ripen in the stack.-~lst.
Tammany Farmer.
The shybridized worm-proof cotton
which MI. j. D. Clark Of this parish,
will test this year, will all open, it is
stated. in q few days; and natures in
about a hundred days from planting.
Such cotton would be the kind for this
nieker, for by planting succession OF
erops. at intervals Of q few days, the
cotton could be gathered as East as it
opens, and as the opening Of all the
hollis takes place In few days, stacking
the stalks would not be necessary-they
could be taken to the picker at once.
