The Snake In the Bible.

Mythology teaches us that the serpent
has been worshiped as a god, representing
viciousness, deceit, the devil, guile and
deception. BY common consent 1t repre-
sents liar or seducer or deceiver. Moses
represented the snake us a liar. In per-
suading Eve to disobey Gods command
and injunction not to eat the fruit of life
and knowledge it told a lie without bene-
fit to itself and used it's persuasive powers
to mislead Eve, that she and Adam would
be like God, although not sure or positive
of that fact The first pair only obtained
some limited knowledge and that they
must make the first advances in civiliza-
ton and procure clothing to protect them
selves against heat and cold.
Why the serpent was so hard punished
for telling the lie, which was no benefit to
it, can only be accounted for by the idea
that Moses wanted to impress upon man
that it is beneficial neither to self nor ia
Others to promise "a reward for doing a
certain thing when no reward would fol
low. The second instance where the snake
appears in history was when the Lord
commanded Moses to go to the king OF
Egypt and deliver his message to release
the Jews from bondage. Then Moses
pleaded to be excused on account of his
weakness in speech. Had the Lord tested
Moses as he did A brahamp
Moses, full of faith, was ready to dc
what the Lord commanded. He was told
to throw down his staff. 1t would become
a serpent. Moses became frightened and
scared. Still, when the Lord told him to
take hold of the snake by its tail, he sub
United at once and showed his perfect
trust in God and his word He was nc
more afraid. -Minorah Monthly.

A BIG COTTON CROP.-Mr. H. NJ. Neil,
OF New Orleans, the well-known cot
ton statistician, has issued q circular
on the growing crop. After referring
TO his estimate made In July, 1894, Of
the crop OF the season, Mr.. Neil says {:
At this moment for this year the
promise is equal to any previous year
in every state but Texas, and on the
present acreage, ever allowing that
Texas should fall short OF her maximum
production per acre by 1000, 600, the
outlook now is for q crop of at least
nine and three-quarter millions, with
live hundred thousand to one million
more within the range of possibilities.
Ibis figure OF nine and three.quarter
millions is really very conservative,
for a product per acre outside of Texas
equal to lS9l-95 would give 1850, 600
bales and a maximum for Texas would
be 3,95O,0O0 bales, from which, allow
ing l,OOO,O 900 off, you would have Il crop
OF 10. 300, 900 bales. The crop is now SO
far advanced from recent rains and
heat that it will reach maturity and
be independent Of frost at an unusually
early date. Should we soon have good
rains in Texas her crop also would be
near perfection, and the possibilities
for total crop would then be something
enormous" =

Lines suggested by seeing the Confederate
surYiN OrS tle into the eco etcr. ON Memorial
Day,l
l see them slowly marching year by
A l~essening band, to that lone camping
ground,
Where their chan .pions in the days that
tried
Mems souls have grounded arms forever.
Ease has seldom been their portion (;
bronzed by sun
And bit by winters cold, they bear the
scars
And blows Of envious time as valiantly
AS once they bore The buifetings of war.
For them q nations Golfers have not bled
To salvc their wounds with gold ; but
when, worn out
With fatal victories, they left the field,
Where valor long had strove in vain
with might,
Like that great son Of Rome whose con
quering arm
Did not disdain to guide the plow, they
shcathcd
Their swords, and asking aid of none
but God,
BY honest toll redeemed and gloriied
The land their fruitless yalor could not
save.
Sec where they come, an ever lessening
band!
Torn by lifo's storms and chilled by
numbing frosts
or thankless years, they faltcr not nor
fail
In the great strife with human wrong
and woe,
Till, one by one, the great commander,
Death,
Gives word to break their ranks and join
the vast
Encampmont meath the white and ser
ried stones
Where fame shall write their simple cpl
taph;
Not conquered, but worn out with con
quering.
