has convinced our farmers OF the necessity oi
providing their own supplies while making
good crops of cotton. Their experience last
year proves, too, that crop OF cotton may be
made without incurring as heavy debts as
they have heretofore done, and this fact may
be of benefit TO some.
Experience has satisfied many farmers that
not a great relief after all. The fact is, that

Most people, when setting about
their reformation or conversion, are
much more anxious to spend their
lives in doing difficult or unusual
things than TO purify their intentions
and to renounce self-will in the ordin-
ary duties Of their position ; but this
is great mistake. Far better make
less outward alteration as to actions
and more inward change in the heart
which prompts them. Those who are
leading decent, well-ordered life need
much more interior than extorior
change when they seek to become
more earnest Christians.-Fenelon.
