Cucumbers.

It is useless to attempt to sow the seed
or grow the plants in the open ground,
until the weather has become settled and
warm The cucumber contains, probably,
the least amount of nutriment Of any
vegetable grown, and receives, perhaps.
the strongest condemnation, especially in
cholera times, yet it is grown the world
over, in enormous quantities, both under
glass, as speciality, and as a field crop
for the market and the pickle jar. AS we
said, week or two ago, that in rhubarb
we had vegetable to take the place of
fruit SO in the cucumber we have fruit
in the place of vegetable. One writer
makes this curious remark: Of cucum-
bers, when dressed with oil, vinegar and
pepper, it is freely used to cool the feel
ings and sharpen the appetite; hence the
common saying Gas cool as a cucumber"
A sandy soil is best for this class of
plants though they may be grown on re
tentive soils, by drawing up the dirt into
hillock, or by mixing a few shovelsful of
sand in the hill In the early cultivation
of cucumbers, before land was drained,
quite hill was drawn. together with the
hoe, to provide against rains or floods
but, except in places very liable to exces-
sive wet, these hills are of more injury
than benefit, particularly in cases of dry
summers.
Mark out the ground the same as for
corn, four feet each way, put shovelful
of manure in each hill, then two inches of
earth, and drop half dozen seeds few
inches apart when coming into rough
leaf thin out to three plants equidistant
from each other.-Pq6vate Farmer.

ALL TOO LATE.
Written for Tho american.

WT2(ten TOR Inc AnlST2CUH
hear weary echo sobbing softly "all too late, "
Some lone heart is yielding sadly. madly to the
doom of fate
Some sick soul is tired of struggling all in van
Tired of toiling onward, upward, tired of storm
and rain.
Some young heart just crushed and bleeding can
not beat,
The weary toll, the lonely journey, tires the
travellers feet;
All behind him lie the treasures of his love,
He in sadness hath forgotten that they bloom
above.
Everywhere are mortals murmuring all too
Late
Losing sight of all the glories where true glorles
wait;
When, Oh when, shall this sad murmur ever
cease?
When shall man in trusting Heaven find sweet
peace:
All have stood on life's wild ocean, all alone,
Listened to the sobbing pillows, when the ship
had gone,
But another ship is sailing DER the sea,
Cease your moaning, weary mortal it will come
for thee.
Cease your murmur only listen, 1T is not too
late
Peace will meet you, victory greet you. up at
Heavens gate,
Death may fold his raven pnions DER the grave,
But he only parts the waters while you cross
the wave.

Flowers and Spanish Moss.

It is possible to have flowers in the open
air all the year round in Louisiana, for it is
seldom too cold or too hot for something to
blossom, and the gardens of city residences
are nearly all large enough to have the
variety necessary to accomplish this result
The plant, if it may be SO termed, that
perhaps strikes the stranger most in New
Orleans and its neighborhood, is the Span
ish moss Long masses of this moss, like
innumerable gray stalactites, hang from
every tree. Is is of greenish gray color
and has long branching fbres or flaments,
and at each bifuscation produces tiny,
trumpet shaped flowers smaller than
tobacco flowers, and of a peach blossom
color. It grows rapidly and is easily
propagated, single thread blown from
one tree to another soon grows into mass
of moss.
In good localities the lunches will grow
twenty to thirty feet long and often single
live oak tree, such as may be seen near
New Orleans, will in addition to the enor-
nous weight of its own branches, carry
over twenty tons Of green moss. A pecu-
liarity of Spanish moss is that it has
neither an alpha or an omega, you may try
but you cannot find either beginning or
an end.
It cannot live on dead tree, because the
bark, among which the tendrils creep has
slipped off. When the tree dies, the moss
soon turns black, and drapes itself in
mourning for its dead mother. Apropos
of flowers we must not forget to mention
fayorite resort near the city, namely, the
Carrollton gardens, place much admired
by strangers. The spacious walks are
lined with the choicest flowers, whose
bloom and fragrance are especially attrac
tive to those who come from the North.

PROPHECY.

VIII winter comes-"But winter comes no
more
For US no mora; our summer fills the year,
Such words she used to charm my lowering
fear.
Not knowing what the near time held in store.
Half true half idle. were the words she spake,
Anon, with all the seasons subtle sweet,
She sank where summer leaf and bloom retreat,
With old-time autumn drift their place to take.
The winter came-but came alone to me-
It's icy lances hurting far and wide;
And now, fast blotted by the SHOWS full tide,
Her delved home may no longer see.
But when the long. wild wind sweeps past my
door.
And dies in music, then seem to hear
The voice beloved that sometime charmed my
fear
"7Ae Uinte1 comes no na0re-t0r us no more ~

Melons.
WATER, MUSK AND NUTMEG.

These in growth and habit are so nearly
related to the cucumber that what holds
good for one is applicable to the others.
Muskmelons require about six feet of room,
and watermelons at least feet, otherwise
SOW the same as the cucumber A sandy
soil suits best, and two or three shovelsful
of manure in each hill greatly aid their
first growth. Strong prairie soil is usually
abundantly rich in itself, and for fear of
wet weather many leave the soil drawn to-
gether little in the plant hills. There is
a great difference in the appearance of
melons. The following embrace the best:
Green Citrons, fruit medium size. Melted,
round to inches in diameter, flesh green
of rich delicious flavor. Nutmeg, fruit
nutmeg shape, skin deep green, finely net
ted greenish yellow flesh, rich and gary.
Yellow Cantaloupe, flesh reddish orange,
sweet and good flavor. Yellow Musk,
very large, deeply ribbed, flesh salmon
yellow, thick and sweet; used in the green
state for mangoes, Mountain Sprout
watermelon, fruit of the largest size, long,
oval, skin deep green and red flesh. Noun
tain Sweet, fruit oblong, flesh red, solid
and sweet. Black Spanish, fruit large,
nearly round, flesh red, sweet and delic-
ious. Ice Cream, fruit medium size,
roundish, pale green skin, thin rind, scar
let flesh, solid, crisp and delicious. Or
ange So called from the rind separating
from the flesh when fully ripe, flesh red,
tender and sweet. Citron, round hand
some fruit of medium size, used only for
making sweet-meats and preserves.-PrG-
sq'se Farmer.

DREAMING.

Sweet memories of long ago,
Steal DER me like a magic spell.
They check my spirits gladstone now.
And yet, love them, ah 50 well;
live again, those bygone years
Which now lie sleeping in the tomb
Each in its shroud of smiles and tears
OF brightest light an deepest gloom.
love to dream of that far-off time,
When all the links in friendships chain
Were true and strong, and in their prime.
Where naught but fragments now remain
For many links long since have persisted,
Some lost, some scattered some remain
While few have furnished which we cherished
la friendships magic golden chain.
love the past, though fraught with pain,
As we'll as joy, and hopes and fears,
Yet, would not bring back again
These precious cherished, bygone years,
For sorrows passed possess charm,
And pleasures double seem to be.
And even fears bring no alarm,
When floating back through memory.
Then let me dream fond dreams of yore.
of years which cannot come again.
Of joys and g1iefs to come no more
OF broken links in friendships chain.
All blend iu one harmonious strain
Which echoes through my inmost heart,
1t brings kind of blissful pain,
would 'twould never more depart.

NEVER TROUBLE TROURIE

My good man IS clever man,
Which no one will gainsay:
He lies awake to plot and plan,
'Gainst lions in the way.
While l, without thought of i'll.
Sleep sound enough for three.
For never trouble trouble till
Trouble troubles me.
We have good share of worldly gear
And fortune seems secure
Yet my good man is full of fear
Misfortune's coming sure.
He points me out the Almshouse Hill
But cannot make me see,
For l never trouble trouble till
Trouble troubles me.
He has sort of second sight;
And when the fit is strong,
He sees beyond the goou and right
The evil and the wrong.
Heavens cup of Joy he'll surely spiIt
Unless l with him be;
For l never trouble trouble till
Trouble troubles me.

The deputy sheriff of Kinds Co., Miss,
was asked by an editor few days since,
how it was that taxes were so reduced in
that county, which contains the State
Capitol. "Well, sir, will show you"
he said, opening the books and showing a
great increase in the number of paid up
poll taxes. Also an increase in the roll of
personal property taxes in other columns.
"That is it, People who once spent their
money for whisky are accumulating prop
erty and can pay their taxes. We are run
ming our schools two months longer than
we did before we had prohibition, and we
have money in the treasury ahead to pay
for the teaching"

The Denver Excursionists.

There is to arrive in New Orleans during
the Carnival seapon large excursion from
Denver, Colo, composed mainly of bust
ness men of that city. It will be remem-
bered that last year number of our mer-
chants went on an excursion to Denver
under the auspices of the Chamber OF Com
merce, and were royalty entertained by
that community. 1t Is but proper, there
fore, that our merchants should endeavor
to properly receive the excursion party
from the hospitable Western metropolis as
q mark of appreciation for the courtesies
extended our own people on the occasion
of their visit last year.-N. 0. Picayuaae.

The True Road to Success.

The longer we live the less we believe
in extraoodinary talents as an element in
success. 1t is by the. sweat of the brow
and not by any sudden inspiration of ge-
MUS, that the ground brings forth seed for
the sower and bread for the eater; it is by
the sweat of the brain that the fields of
the intellect are made to bud and blossom.
If any one would be of use, let him not
seek an easy place. Let Linn take situa-
ton which will tax his strength. The
perservering turtle is sure to reach the
goal before the sleeping fox. In these
days there is need to preach the gospel of
hard work United PresbuteriGas.

Prof F. A. Cutler, of Mississippi, says:
"For the South, Japan clover is, without
exception, the greatest plant that grows
spontaneously. 1t keeps hills from wash
ing, even coming in to fill the washes.
On good land it grows from 10 to "a inches
high, cuts good crop of hay equal to first
class timothy. For pastures from May
18th to the first frost it is as good as any
thing we have, except Bermuda, grass. 1t
will grow when blue grass and other clo-
vers entirely fail. It stands dry weather
admirably. II grows on sand, gravel,
bare clay hills, banks or gullies, pine
thickets or open woods. A patch Of this
clover for summer and Bermuda grass for
winter gives the Sunny South continual
green heritage"

The legislature of Nebraska has passed
a resolution submitting to the people an
alternative proposition to amend the con-
stitution so as to have high license or pro-
hibition, as the people shall decide at the
next general election. This State was one
of the first to introduce high license sys-
tenn, which has been quite successful in
reducing the number of saloons and en-
riching the chief cities and towns by the

Prophesying Smooth Things.

There is temptation which besets
pulpit and pen and tongue to 'prophesy
smooth things and shirk unpopular
truths. Paul did not make himself pop
ular on that corn ship BY predicting storm
and opposing venture before treach-
erous south wind Yet, before the gale
was over he was the most trusted and re-
spected man on board. There is the
ology of south wind and smooth sea that
is becoming very current, and it takes
prodigiouslY in these days. 1t suits human
nature exceedingly. 1t sets low esti-
mate on tie exceeding sinfulness of sin
and its desert of retribution. 1t treats
very gingerly the primitive justice of
God. It hoists no storm signal in the
direction whittier so many souls are lead
ing it practically ignores hell. Even if
the voyage here be with some loss Of lad
ing" it holds out the hope of possible
second probation in the unseen world
However seductive or popular this un-
Pauline theology may be, do not discover
it ON Gods charts, or in his weather
tables. If deceive soul with any such
decisions may not God hold me to fear
full account Love demands fidelity. How
ever smooth the sea, and however fair the
wind before any and every soul yet out of
Christ, let such be lovingly warned that
the voyage will be with terrible loss, both
to lading and to life. In the penitent &C
ceptance of Jesus Christ is the only abso
Lutte, complete, perfect and Everlasting
salvation. Run no risks when your soul
is at stake.-By T. Z. Cuyler, d. d.,

A gentleman who was visiting our Sec
ton of country recently, and who has
spent the greater part of the past fifteen
years in Florida, remarked that he believed
he would make real good real estate
agent in Louisiana. On being asked his
reasons, he said: elm some sections of
the South where I have lived, the real es-
tate agents could sell nothing but climate
and sand, but here in Louisiana they could
sell soil and throw in the climate"

MELONS AND PUMPKIS ON PRAL
RE SOIL.

Our prairie soil is adapted to the cult
walton Of melons and pumpkins, and, in
fact, all kinds of vine crops. Melons may
be raised here in almost endless quantities,
and are, perhaps, as well favored as those
grown in any other part of the world. We
can have them on the markets before our
northern friends get out Of the frost.
Pumpkins are very easily raised, and for
the amount of cultivation and trouble they
are, perhaps, more profitable for stock
than any other crop we can grow. 1t may
be used as substitute for corn. Mr.. A.
w. T. giving his experience. to the Pro-
gressiUe Farmer, says:
Last year planted one eighth Of an
acre Of land, measured, and raised 800
pumpkins OF an average weight of 16 lbs.
each.
My manner Of planting and cultivating
Is simple and cheap. plowed my land IL
inches deep, ran my rows feet distant
each way, and dug holes 10 inches deep
and 20 inches square. then put In one
shovelful of stable manure and cotton
seed, handful of the Raleigh Standard
Fertilizer and two or three shovelsful of
rich earth: after mixing all this well, /
made hill and planted rfy seed about the
10th of April.
The total cost Of manure and cultivation
was 500
They are very easily prepared for feed.
cut and filled 30-gallon kettle with the
pumpkins and boiled till done, and then
put in one peck Of meal, mixing it well
and fed to my hogs.
This Is undoubtedly the fastest and
cheapest process OF fattening meat that |
have ever tried. / fattened, with the
above mentioned, aided by the corn made
on one acre of land, seven hogs weighing
1855 lbs. net.
My meat cost me great deal less than
If had raised cotton and bought it.
find that the best profit in farming re-
suits from well manuring and well culti-
walton and home. made compost is by far
the best fertilizer.
Hope some of my fellow-farmers will
try pumpkins as substitute for corn IN
