THE Baton Rouge Advooats says,
reports coming from the alluvial dis
tricts of the State show that two
thirds of the rice fields have been
abandoned on account of two months
drouth, the very low stage of water,
and the inability to procure it, even
where there are good pumping ma
chimes on the plantation. Many rice
planters are from the north, and do
not know that should the rains come
there is plenty of time to raise crop
of rice planted any time before the
first of July. This of course depends
on the fall season; but one consolation
is short crops bring better prices.
Seed rice is high.

All sbs tolls Of the road will seem nothing

There are 90 many bills 10 climb upward,

But Ne v no appoints ne my pathway

That my strength fhsll be as my day;

He loves ne too we'll to forsaks me,
Or give me Que trial too much
All His people have been dearly purchased
And Satan can never claim such.
By and BY shall see Him and praise Him,
In the city OF uneudipg day;
And the tolls Of the road will seem nothing
When get TO the end Of the way.
When the last feeble step has hem taken,
Aud the gates Of the city appear
ARd the beautiful songs OF the angelo,
Float out on my listening ear
When all that now seems so mysterious
Will be plain aud clear as the day
Yes the tolls Of the road will seem nothing
When get TO the end Of the way.
Though now I am foo,sore and weary

And sinking in spirit. I say
All the tolls ~ the road will seem nothing

Cooling fountains are there for the thirsty;
There are cordials for those who are

There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint;
Then III Try 20 press hopefully onward,
Thinking often through each weary day,
The tolls Of the road will seem nothing
When get to the eud OF the way.

The Wonders of the Sea.

The sea occupies th!es. ffths OF the
surface Of the earth. At the depth
of $500 feet, waves are not felt.
The temperature is the came, varying
only tribe from the ice Of the pole
to tho burning sun Of the equator.
A mi e down, the water has pres-
sure of over ton to the square inch.
If a box six feet deep were filed with
sea water ana allowed to evapora,c
under tho sun, there would be two
inches OF salt left on the bottom.
Taking the average depth Of the o.
cean to be three miles, there would be
q layer Of pure salt $50 feet thick on
the bed of the Atlantic. The water
is colder at the bottom than a. the
surface. In the many bays on the
coast OF Norway, tho water often
freezes at the bottom before it does
above.
Waves arc very deceptive. To
look at them in a storm one would
think tie water travelled. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo-.
ton goes on. Sometimes in storms
these waves are forty feet high, and
travel Fifty miles Tn hour--more than
twice as fast as the swiftest steamer.
The distance from valley to valley
is generally fifteen times the height,
hence q wave FIVE feet high will exs
tend over seventy-five feet Of water.
The force Of the sea dasbing on Bell
Rock is said TO be seventeen tons to
each square yard. Evaporation lie o
