Why Watches Stop.

"Watches are so small and their me-

careful inspection to find the cause Of

The Restlessness of Old Age.

Those who have been much with the
aged have observed in them chafing
against the iufrmities Of their years,
which expresses itself in restlessness and
desire for change. They grow weary
of the inactivity which has succeeded the
busy time when they bore the heat and
burden of the day, and so, sometimes,
they wander here aud there, dropping i'll
to visit friend or talking with chance
acquaintance, trying thus to while away
the tedious hours. In mistaken kindness
and unkind affection we often oppress
dear, aged people by our very care.
They dislike supervision. The tender
watchfulness which to US seems due to
their physical feebleness, as we'll as q FL
return for their care for lis in earlier
days., is by them resented as restraint.
1t annoys them. Then, TOO, We try to
take all the work out of their hands, and
that they don't like. Nobody who has
been active and useful enjoys the feeling
of being laid on the shelf.
Grandfather's step is uncertain and his
arm less vigorous than of old; but be
possesses o rich treasure of experience.
and be likes to be consulted. 1t ia his
privilege to give advice; his privilege,
too, at times to go into the field and work
with the youngest, renewing his youth as
be keeps barely up with the hearty men
not half his sge.
GRANDMOTHER does not want to be left
out of the household work. When the
days come around for picking and pre-:
serving, and the domestic force is pressed
into service, who so eager and full of
interest as she? It is cruel to overrule
her decisions, to put her aside because
..she will be tired" Of course she will
os tired, but she enjoys the fatigue, and
rests the sooner for the thought that she
is still of some use in the world.
To those whose homes are honored by
the presence of an aged parent we would
say, deal very gently with those who are
on the downhill of life. Your own time
is coming to be where they are now.
You, too, are stepping westward" ;"
Soothe the restlessness of age by amuse'
ment, by consideration, by non interfar'
ence, and by allowing plenty of occupa
ton to fall into the hands that long for
it. Only let it be of their own choosing,
| and cease to order them as if they were
children. A hoary head at tireside is
crown of glory to the house in which
it dwells. The blessing of the aged is as
dew on the pasture, as the falling oi
sunlight on shadowy place.-PhiladeI'

COTTON CULTURE.
A Greenvillo County Farmor's Experience

|
Editor Enterprise and Mountaineer:
see you have opened space in you
paper for the farmers to give their expe
rence in he cultivation of cotton, corn
small grain, etc.
will give my experience in the cult
vation of cotton by checking aud plant
ing in the hill. Several farmers have
asked me to do so, and will avail mysel
of your offer.
The first item of note in the hill plar
is the cheapness of cultivation with thf
noe. You can make crop this way and
save ut least three fourths of the hoeing
The second item of note is, it will
stand drought twenty per cent. better
than the drill cotton and will make more
dry year or vet. The bolls grow much
larger and the stalks have more on them
to the square foot of ground in cultiva
ton. The lint will be longer. esti
mate that check cotton will make at least
twenty-five per cent. more than cotton
10 a dry season, on the same kind OF
land.
A large boil variety is better for
checking and planting in bill than the
small boil varieties. You want a cotton
that will spread aud fill up the space
between hills.
My plan for preparing and fixing up
the hills is as follows: If land is rich,
lay off rows four feet each way with a
good shovel plow, put hand full Of
compost or other manure in checks,
working we'll in ground with q shove,
spade or fork; then take common
twister plow and list on it going the
opposite way from which land was brok-
en-. then take hoe and go across the
list, following the furrow that was not
listed and dig hole as deep as l want
to cover the seed in checks, and drop
from six to ten seed in hill, as much in
bunch as possible. covering the seed
about three inches deep. 1t is best to
press on the hill with the hoe after the
seed is covered.
For thin or poorer land I check three
by TWO feet and drill.in the manure, and
list and plant in the same way.
The cotton where it comes up is on a
small ridge and can be run around very
close in the list furrows. Break the balks
out at leisure.
/ have left one and two stalks in the
hill. think one stalk is the best for a
large boil variety. Two are better OF
the common cotton.
AS there are various opinions on deep
and shallow cultivation, | will give my
experience. The first working | plow as
deep as possible with cutter pillow. The
balance of the plowings as shallow ~
can we'll be done-preter double foot.
The amount of seed it requires per
acre is one peek of the large boil variety.
There are 1900 hills to the acre and
about $500 seed to the peck-giving ten
seed to the hill-so one good peck will
plant all acre three by three feet.

OLD TIMES.
Arp's "Reminiscences of Fifty Years.

A sweet little girl from Marietta writes
mo a nice letter and begs me to write
something for the children-just for the
children.
] never look upon flock of happy,
we'll raised children without wondering
if they knew how we'll off they are-how
much better of than their grand parents
were some fifty or sixty years ago. 1
would like to see old father time set his
clock back half century just for a
week and put everything like it was then,
and would walk around and have lots
of fun out of these little folks. I don't
believe they could stand it whole week,
but it would do them good to try. In the
6rst place, they would have to get out of
their comfortable houses with plastered
walls and large glass windows and coal
CRATES, and get into smaller houses with
about Two rooms in front and back shed

aud in that shed room they would have
to sleep, and the wind would come slip.
ping in all night and kiss their faces ever
SO nice. They would have to take off all
their pretty clothes, and wear country
jeans and linsey, and they would have to
go to the shoemakers and have some
coarse, rough shoes made of country
leather and no high heels nor box toes
nor buttons. But they would be good
aud strong, and two pair would last any
boy or girl whole year-one pair would
do them if they creased them now and
then and went barefooted during Summer
as We used to do-aIl the store stockings
would have to be dispensed with, and the
elastic too, and they would put on some
good warm ones that we're knit by hand,
and be tied up with rag-no nice hats
from the miliners, with pretty flowers
and gay ribbons flying, but the girls
would have to put on home made bon.
nets nicely quilted, and the boys have to
wear home made wool hats or seal. skin
caps that would last two or three years,
aud stretch bigger as their heads grew
bigger. There would not be found a
store in the whole State where ready
made clothing could be found-not
coat, nor pair Of pants, nor shirt, nor
a skirt. nor doll, nor hardly toy of
any kind. I suppose that some few
things for children might he found in
Augusta, or Savannah, or Macon, but the
country stores wouldent have anything,
not even candy. or oranges or box of
raisins. A boy could 6nd dog knife or
barlow, and be allowed about one
year, but the little girls couldent even
find thimble small enough nor pair
of scissors. Children we're not of much
consequence then, especially girls.
would like to see the clock set back
for one week and see the boys cutting
wood and making fires, cutting wood half
the day Saturday for Sunday, and Sum
day morning sitting down to learn some
more of the Shorter catechism about jus
ti6cation, and sanctifcation, and adop-
tion, and some more verses in the Bible,
and that poetry in the primmer about
