Needless Anxiety

Casting iill your care iihon Him. Peter a., T
This casting care On the Lord does not
excuse us from the most intelligent con
sideration we can exercise in regard to
the matters we are anxious about 1t is
not our ignorance nor our Indifference
we are to east on the Lord. but our anx-
iety and needless worry.
Nor does casting our anxiety ON the
Lord mean we are to cast the needlful
labor which it is oar duty to bestow.
We must give necessary diligence and
persistence. We are always to do such
things as we can do for ourselves. God
does for us only what we cannot do. We
must prepare the soil, SOW the seed, cul-
tivate the crop, and harvest it when
ripe We must leave to God what we
cannot do, and leave it without anxiety.
The sunshine, the winds, the clouds, the
rains. are Gods care. He also controls
the termination OF seed, the growth and
maturity of crops
anxiety is doubt of God, and wrong
because uni just to Him.
Anxiety is useless and vain, therefore
foolish
What, then, does the text teach?
To leave all we cannot do or control
with God and to God, as the seasons and
the hearts of men: Do with anything
you cannot do as you would with your
valuable watch. 1t needs repair. You
cannot repair it; you leave it with the
matchmaker. You know his skill he
has all needed materials, tools and
fixtures. You don't trouble yourself
the matchmaker is reliable,
When we have done what we can, re
sponsibiity ends and so should needless
anxiety. We ought not to find it diff
cult to trust God, the true, ,unchslngea-
bic, and all powerful. He has promised.
See his gracious care in the seemingly
minute and insignificant-the sparrow
the young ravens'-and yet we care Of
much more value See examples of
Gods gracious care of Joseph, the help
less captive; Moses, the feeble babe;
Elijah, the prosecuted prophet; and
Lazarus, the dying pauper.
God cares for u.s. Is not this enough
Does he need our help? Can we do any
thing by self-consuming care? Why in
trude it?
This command obeyed, how much
worryl which anxious people suffer.
should we escaped How much sound
sleep, how much peaceful rest of
soul, should we secure .-Nash0dzze i'd \

{Reported for the VIRGINIANl
Our vicinity as well as the whole valley of Vir-
ginia, seems to be literally burdened with an
abundance of wheat. oats, rye hay and fruits.
And up to this time, the prospect for good
yield of corn is good. This, to the farmers is the
bnsiest as well as the most critical season of the
year. At this season. wheat, oats, rye, barley
and hay all mature, and at the same time, it is
the essential season for working the corn for
the last time. This last working inures greatly
to its earring fore the dPougths. At this time
farmers have great deal at stake. A hay crop
may be cut down and the delay of half day
may cause him to lose half its value by a shower,
turning it black and making it unfit for
market.
We are having delightful weather at present,
however, for curing and maturing hay
a very distressing and perhaps fatal accident
occurred near Stonewall, on the SeaWright farm,
on the 18th inst. young man, by the name of
Clayton, was cutting saw-logs. A tree lodged
near the ground, and he measured off three
lengths of logs and got up on it, cutting it nearly
off; then got down and finished cutting it from
the ground, expecting to outrun it if it rolled
down the hill. 1t fell and rolled upon his legs,
doubling his feet forward and his heels back
ward, MASKING his feet and legs into Jelly
In this condition he was compelled to lay until
take him out.
About three weeks ago another accident oc-
Cured in the same neighborhood. Mr.. Geo.
COOK mad one of his fingers torn off in binder.
During harvest test trial was made of three
bindefs-the Mccormick, the Buckeye and the
Walter A. Wood. The Mccormick carried off
the ribbon. The test was made on the farm of

Mr.. Samuel Click, of Weyer's Cave Depot. While
writing these items, your correspondent with
family, accompanied by Mrs. Sims, mentioned
above, is enjoying the cool mountain breezes and
health restoring waters of Black Rock Springs.
We were greatly surprised to see the improve
ment made here lately. All the accommodation
found at the more noted watering place is found
here.
A large hotel has been erected with capacity
TO accommodate all. Mr.. VIM. Mayo, of Char

large ballroom, and Mr.. Robert Miller, of Mt

alley. There are about twenty three neatly

You may sing of the beauty of spring

That glows on the cheek of the young,
But l sing of a beauty that's rarer
Than any of which you have sing.
The beauty that's seen I'm the faces
OF women whose summer is DER,
The autumn-like beauty that charms us
Far more than the beauty of yore.
But this beauty is seen too rarely. The
faces of most women lose the beauty of
youth too soon. Female disorders are
like frosts come to nip the flowers which
betoken good health, without which
there can be no real beauty. If our
American women would foftify them
selves against the approach of the ter
rible disorders so prevalent among
them, by using DR.. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription, their good looks would be
retained to a 'sweet old age" This
remedy is aguaTanteed cure for all the dis
tressing weaknesses and arrangements
peculiar to women

The Michigan weather crop bulletin for
week ending Sept 81 s.ys: The weather
conditions of the pus: week have been
favorable TO all crops, and the rainfall has
been very beneficial TO new sown wheat,
but there is L seded a good soaking rain to
make the wheat come up evenly. The
wheat sowing is progressing rapidly, al
though some farmers are waiting for more
rain before they sow. Corn cutting is pro-
crossing steadily, and with one more week
of favorable weather the crop will be al
secured beyond the reach Of the frost
Potatoes are ripe and in AR condition.
Buckwheat is now mostly cut Pastures
have been greatly improved during the
past week by the many local rains that
have occurred in the different portions OF

yond the effects Of unfavorable weather
conditions, and to what extent cutting has
progressed
