Weeds at the Vest.

! Who has not sat at car window and
almost thanked the weeds for the varied
beauty they give TO the landscape? In
April, the green-sWard is gemmed with
dandelions, from Maine to Minnesota,
and, as the season advances, hundreds
of other weeds brighten the meadows,
and make beautiful the neglected
hedge-rows. The thistle in mid sum-
mer; the cookie in the ripening grain;
the golden-rod and asters in the mel
low autamn-how beautiful they all
are.
Stand at the rear platform of the car,
and see the breeze of the train break
up the gossamer globes of the dande-
lion, and whlrl along the seed laden
balloons, which seem to chase and dodge
one another for miles-th is in June.
In August, the dandelion is gone, and
the prickly thistle fills the air with
down, and upon the wings of the wind
seeks fresh fields and pastures new.
The East is full of weeds, and our
railway trains are carrying their seeds
westward, gradually but surely, every
year. Fully one-third of the labor Of
many Eastern farms is a,eed-billaag.
This is a labor barely thought of on
most Western farms There it is zone
OF the things you read about but
how. soon it viii be q realit,y.! There
are farms at the East, once Weedy, now
nearly clear; held as we hold our free
donor as we should hold it-by eter-
nal vigilance. This is not; near SO ex-5
pensiVe as ploWing,l narrowing, hoe.
ing and summer following. We take
pleasure in commenting early and last
ing vigilance to our brother farmers OF
the West.
Fight the weeds. Keep clean hedge
rows and road sides; Stay, burn, eradi-
cate, EXTERN nate. We are passing
laws in the Eastern States compelling
the careless and thriftless to keep their
road sides clear Of weeds, and Of the
brush in which they harbor. It is not
very thoroughly done as yet. In some
districts, public opinion (which is not
more thrifty than those who make it
seems to be quietly .agin the law In
others, the laws are in some measure
lived up to. and gradually man gains
upon his foes, both in the fields and the
road-ways.
There is no joke about it. The weeds
are in earnest. They will get into the
richest soil--the fairest heritage of the
finest country the sun shines upon.
But they are vulnerable; they are NOR.
tai; and are, We can assure you, foe
men worthy Of your steel. ;'-Aaaerican

What Is d Creole?

Even in Louisiana the question would
/ be variously answered. The title did
not, here, first, belong to the descend
ants of Spanish, but Of French, settlers.
But such a meaning implied q certain
excellence Of origin, and SO came early
to include any native. OF French or
Spanish descent by either parent, whose
non alliance with the Slave race entitled
him to social rank Later, the term
was adopted by-noit conceded to-the
natives Of mixed blood, and is still so
used among themselves. At length the
spirit Of commerce saw the money
value Of so honored a title, and broad
ened its n can ING, to take in any creature
or thing of variety OF manufacture PEE
culiar to Louisiana that might become
an Oh eet OF sale: as Creole ponies,
chickens, cows, shoes, eggs, wagons,
baskets, eabbages, negroes. etc. Yet
the Creole proper will not share heir
distinction with the worthy . Acadian,'
He is a Creole only by courtesy, and IN
the second person Singular. Besides
French and Spanish, there are even, for
convenience OF speech, colored 81
Creo.es; but there are no Italian, or
Sicilian, nor any English, Scotch Irish,
or Z. Yankee Creoles, unless of pa.
rentage married into and themselves
lthorough ly proselyted in, Creole soei-r
ety. Neither Spanish nor Americaa
domination has taker, from the Creoles
their French vernaetllar. This, also,
is part OF their title; md, in fine there
seems to be no more seryiceable, defini-.
ton of the t,reoes OF Louisiana than
this: that they are the French-speak
ing. native, ruling class.
There is no need of distinguish be-
tween the higher and humber grades
of those from whom they sprang.
few settlers, only, were persons OF rank
and station. Many were the children
of the casket-girls. and many were Ct
such stock as society pronounces less
than nothing; yet, in view Of that state
of society which the French revolution
later overturned, any present oyerplus
OF honor may as well fall to the chill
dren of those who filled the prisons be-
fore, as of those who filed them dur
ing that bloody convulsion.-Mr. Cable, /

What shall the motives be
Throughout the present Year,
Shall they be for evil, 49,
Or shall they bring good cheer?
Shall the Angel Reapers
Fer search for wheat in vain?
Or shall hey find store
OF ripened, golden grain?
Shall my heart be growing
A crop of evil deeds?
Or carefully produce
A harvest of good seeds?
shall my hands cease labor
Because the work is hard?
Or shall with new vigor,
DiscouragementS discard?
Shall my life be wasted, gS.5s sgr,.l, !
And time be spent in vain? '4f1a
Or. constantly improve
Each moment for my gain? @
Shall cultivate the thorn
And let the roses go? "a
Or tares cast in the fire,
That flowers sweet may grown
With careful watch, I'll give
The tareS and thorns no room;
Rich graces from the spheres
Within my heart shall bloom.

Bind I'D the golden grain,
They find in me harvest
A life moi, spent in vain.
