For this brave old earth must borrow

Sing and the hills will answer,
Sigh, 1t is lost on the air,
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from yincing care
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
G-ieve, aud they turn and go.
They want full measure of all vour
pleasure,
But do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many,
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none TO decline your nectar
ed wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, and it helps you tc
live,
But no man can help you to die.
There's room in the halls Of pleasure
For long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
1hro' the narrow aisles of pain.

MONEY IN SEVEN-CENT COT
TON.
It is Clearly Demonstrated by
a Georgia Planter.

In all address before the Agrl-
cultural Society of Georgia, Pope
Brown, president Of the society,
declared it to be his belief that
farmers and the farming lnter>
est in Georgia are better off to-
day than they have been during
his experience Of twenty years
as a farmer. Mr.. Brown de
clares that he keeps books with
his tenants, and has done SO for
years. When All industrious
negro man comes along who
wants to work he gives him a
onc-horse farm, a mule and a
plow and provisions for the year
until his crop is made. He set
ties with him at the end Of the
year, the negro getting the mon
ey made from his crop over and
above the cost of the advance he
las received. "By reference to
my book" said Mr.. Brown, 81
find that III 1881, when my ten
ants sold their cotton for IoT
and II cents, they did not have
as much money at the end of the
year as they did last year with 7
cent cotton, and all other things
they had to buy lower in pro-
portion. For my part" said he.
Il would be willing to enter
contract now to keep things as
they are for twenty years and
the farmers will have no trouble
in making money who farm or
correct methods. What | fear is
that cotton may go down to 3 !
cents; as long as cotton is 7
cents we can make money"
A comparison Of prices of var
ious agricultural products in
1881 and 1896 shows that during
the latter year the Southern
farmer, in spite of the general
decline i'll prices, got more for
his main Crop-cOtton-than in
1881. In 1896 8 pounds of cot>
ton would pay for as much wheat
as eleven pounds would pay for
i'll 1881. A bale of cotton would
pay for just twice as much corn
or oats III 1896 as in 1881, and
now bale of cotton will pay
for more wheat and twice as
much corn or oats as it would in
1881.
