Faith is the souls clear sight, the inner
eyes
That gaze abroad with more than NOR
tai powers
Beyond theiimits Of this world OF ours;
Tnrough the dark valley that betwixt rs
lies.
1t sees the rearly gates OF Paradise;
The golden streets. the fair immortal
flowers
That bloom perennial IN angel bowers,
And catches glimpses Of the heavenly
prize.
The shadows fly heiore its prescient
ken.
Az melt the misls before the rising day ;
Through The thick gloom it tracks shin

Faith is q grow tn n! pure. ilnnortal birth,
Oft mixed with doubt az virgin gold with

power, AMI The consequent economy
in having first class steam as well az
horse power; or might tell you how
various parties are now working hard
to perfect implements to bar of chon
out and hill cotton by once gong
over it with mule power; or might
tell you that the average price OF the
entire cotton crop could be raised by
many millions Of dollars by the gen
eral adoption Of the best cleaners
and gins, and better handling Of the
crop generally. The extent to which
The introduction ofotheri ri,nproved in
plemonta would lessen the cost Of the
production Of the cotton crop can
scarcely be estimated in price: and,
additionally, the adoption Of such
implements by u planter as will save
him the labor OF one or more hands
increases his labor lorce and sol!es
the lebor problem to that extent.
There is more opportunity tor profit
able enterprise and investment in
this respect than in the operation OF
all he cotton factories thai there is
even remote possibility Of being
built, for the capital required is in
significant compared IL the large
sums necessary to make cotton nam
ufacturing a success. For instance,
a planter producing five Hundred
| bales-two hundred thousand pounds
worth eight cents per ponnd'' sly
teeen thousand dollars, can, BY the
| expenditure Of one thousand or III
teen hundred dollars on his gin house,
improved gins and cleaners, increase
the average value Of his crop at least
one cent per pound, or two thousand
dollars per year, whi,h ia done on
an investment oil one thousand to iii.
teen hundred dollars. If it was only
increased one-half cent per pound, it
would add one thousand dollars to
value OF crop, or nearly one hundred
per cent. on the cos; of improve
mente, and it may he well TO remark
right here, before leaving this snb-
iert, that nnless planters do adopt
these improvements and - biz crop

According TO DR.. VI. Augustus Wilson
a very common cause oi deafness is the
har loning OF wax in the car, and the
uns 3ientific plan that people adopt for
its removal. They generally succeed in
making a bad matter worse. The ear Is
not so exquisitely sensitive TO the pre-
sence Of foreign matter as the eye, and
hence those who v Ork at the ear with
hairpins and toothpicEs are likely TO
iniure themselves irrCparan.Y. Only the
softest materials and the geEtiest pressure
should be used IN clearing The ear. II the
ticking OF watch emu De heard at
a distance of twCuty-ei9ht inches,
the hearing IS good Each car should
be tested by tic watch separately.
Noises in the head, sometimes ringing,
frequently are due % hardened wax ir
the ear. Sudden deafness is sometime.
caused as follows A small mass Of
wax from i'll health or I'm Ieanlness,
becomes hsrd. continued secretion
of wax then blocks up Tie ear tube still
more An iniudiciOus attempt is then
made to remove the wax by introducing,
perhaps, "a match end, pin head or 2
! penholder which instead Of removing
/ pushes down the WAX and packs II
against the tympnnum; or by sudden
drnt1pht or lie net OF swallowing the wax
is suddenly 3 rasscd upon the membrane,
and lass oi sfing Immediately ensues,
because tlc membrane can no longer vi
br1te. The removal Of the wax is in
some cases, especially those Of long
standing, somewhat difficult; but with
gentle treatment and patience may
finally be accomplished and the hearing
fully restored The best ordinary means
for removing wax, when not badly COM
pacted, are halfa drachm OF sodium car.
Donate dissolved in an ounce of water
applied lightly by means OF a bit OF alb
sorbcnt cotton or sponge attached 20 q
