A CATERWAUL.

A pussy eat sat on a garden wall,
Her tail was erected high.
The sound that she uttered a sereeching
bawl,
But she thought it a plaintive sigh.
He back was a delicate gingerIsh gray,
Her tail was a dirty white,
And each Thomas cat, as he passed that
way.
Said: ooh! what a beautiful sight"
Six gentlemen cats sat under the wall,
And each was a-looking at she;
A concert enchanting they got up, but. oh!
Each sang to a different key.
For n sang in f, one in B, one in G,
In G fat, inD sharp and in E;
What You would have thought a most
horrible row
They thought exquisite melody!
But, as she erected her tail with a jerk,
She looked down on those cats with
disdain,
For though she might shipper and sidle
and smirk.
She thought every one of them plain.
The fact that down in the very next court
Lived a beautiful Persian Tom cat;
She had seen him, and loved him alone,
and IN shore.
She'd have him and none other, that's
- Hntt
But alas! for poor Pussy, he didn't love her
So she needn't have acted so proud;
He didn't admire the shade of her fur,
He could have his pick of a crowd!
Now all you young pussy cats purring
around
With six gentleman cats at yertr call,
Don't be too particular, take who you can
Or perhaps you won't get one at all!
Merry Maker.

GOV. TAYLOR A CONTRIBUTOR.

Every person in this broad land,
old and young, may, at comparative
y no cost, read the glowing words
that flow from his magic pen. Gov.
R. L. Taylor, the great orator and
writer, having retired from politics,
has contracted to contribute to each
issue ofpThe Illustrated Youth and
Age, successor to the Youths Adj
yocate, Nashville, Tenn.
Much Of the matter he will con-
tribute will consist of ssTaylor' Love
Letters to the Public'-glorious pro-
auctions dealing with burning ques-
lions, in which every person is direct
" interested, and which are so
handled as to fascinate the mind, and
at the same time elevate the character
just opposite Of 50 much contained
in many Ct the sensational journals.
Gov. Taylor is known all over the
nation for his boundless humor, his
tender pathos, his wholesome philos-
ophy, and his flights of eloquence un-
surpassed.
While it is a fact that The Illus
trated Youth and Age has already
attained a national circulation we
| predict that its circulation will be
rapidly increased. We are glad that
our 1Genial Bob" is now to be 50
situated that he can serve his country
in the way for which he is best fitted.
Every home may be made better and
every fireside brighter by the constant
visits Of the paper with which he is
connected.
He will continue to deliver lectures
throughout the country, and will soon
publish a new edition of his book
which is now being revised, and which
will also contain his new lecture,
Glove, Laughter and song"

Origin Of the Term ssCotton."


10 the Editor of the State: 1t is an
interesting fact that we have III con, ,
slant use in South Carolina, ana ln9ce9
in other southern States, a work winch
is of Arabic origin. This word is IA,
miliar to all of our people--lt is used
more in the fall than any other season
of the year-at this season 1T is used q
great deal by the white farmer, the
merchant and the negro laborer. MY
readers have probably guessed that
this word is COTTON" 1T comes to us
from the Italian "cotonc," and this IN
turn is derived from the Arabic
"koton." l cannot account Tor this
word among the languages OF the Aryan
races unless the following is the So
luton:
Spain was the first European country
in which cotton was cultivated. 1t was
introduced into that country by the
progressive Moors in the tenth century
and about the same time 1T was also
introduced into Sicily. | suppose the
Moors (who were Il branch OF the Ara
bian race) continued the Arabian name
of the plant when they introduced 1T
into Spain, and thus this interesting
word has become stamped INTO our
language. Ii is Ill interesting SuDlccC
of Study to linguists to consider the
facS that we who live thousands OF
niles from Arabia and have nothing in
common con- with that country should have
rs one of our most common words one
Of Of Arabian origin-one, too, that, was
probably carried to Europe hundreds
Of years ago by the dark-sklnned and 1l.d
~ .,.ayl;l~n Moors rg1f - - - - T,'NMT1
While / am OH the subject of this
word. / will mention that this is the
centennial year of cotton culture IN
What is now Sumter county. we nave
two accounts about the first cultlya-
tion of cotton in this country, and as
they vary a little ! will give them both.
In IN essay on the cotton plant, writ
ten by Governor Whitmarsh B. Sea-
brook, it is mentioned that John May
rant and Asbury Sylvester first grew
cotton in the high hills OF Santcc III
1T9S. In an address delivered by Sam
uel DuBosc in the lower part OF the
State, during the year 1858, occurs tins
statement: ssCotton was first grown III
the district of Sumter, by John May
rant in 1S98.'
