A Story of q Tramp.

One very cold night in December the
farmers children were all sitting
around the fireplace when suddenly
they heard knock at the door.
The farmer went to the door and
there stood a poor ragged man.
My kind man." said the tramp,
could you please give me something
to eat and a place to sleep, for the
right is very cold and have no place
t2 60
The farmer who was a kind hearted
man, told the tramp to come in, and
he gave him a seat beside the fire.
After the farmers wife had given the
man something to eat they asked him
to come in by the fireplace with them
and tell them the story of his life.

A Good Reward.

One day as I was walking about
the yard I found an egg. Knowing that
our neighbor kept hens, went to her
with the egg. She was very thankful
for the egg. A few days passed and
1 was sitting on the yerauda when
saw our neighbor coming up the
pathway. When she came up the
stairs l greeted her and she handed
me a basket. I thanked her for il
and she went away.
When I opened the basket I found
about two dozen eggs in it. Wher
my mother came home ! showed hel
what L had. I was very glad [ gave
the egg back.

A Wicked Shot.

one day hunter was going into
the woods after birds. After looking
around a while he spied a robin. The
robin had just come from her nest
in the tree. In the nest were three
little birds The birds were hungry
and wanted some food.
When the hunter saw the bird he
took a good aim and shot the bird.
The bird fell beneath the tree. She
heard the little birds crying up in the
est for food, but she was wounded
and could not fly up to them. Very
soon the bird died The birds up in
the nest soon died of hunger. That
shot killed four birds. If the hunter
had know it he would have been very
sorry.

Cotton.

Cotton belongs to the mallow family.
One Of it's cousins is the hollyhock.
There are two varieties of cotton, the
upland and the sea island, or the long
and short fiber. The long fiber is the
most valuable.
1t is mostly raised in the United
States. but some of 1t is raised in In
Ola, Egypt, and Brazil.
Cotton is planted in April, and the
first seeds are ready to pick in June.
The rows are about four feet apart.
Cotton needs very rich soil 1t needs
lain mostly when it is being planted,
hut afterwards it needs a dry season.
The temperature must be so degrees.
When cotton is ripe the bolls burst. 1t
is picked by hand. After it is picked 1t
is sent to the gin house to have the
seeds taken out of it. Then it is baled.
The bales weigh about 800 pounds
zach.
There are many factories in the
north. There are q few in the south
The products Of cotton are cloth

off the dead are asleep in the
graves awaiting the time of the rssur-
rection at Christ's second coming,
when all who are IN their graves shall
be awakened and shall come forth, as
the Scriptures affirm; how shall we
understand the experiences of some
who, at the time of their departure
from this life, see heavenly visions Of
angels, and hear strains of celestial
music? w. E. D.
AnsWer.-As it is emphaticauy set
forth throughout the entire Scriptures
that the dead are asleep" in their
graves" and that the dead know not
anything" for there is neither wis
DOM nor device, nor knowledge in the
grave whittier thou goest;" and that
ell viii remain in this sleep Of death
until the awakening time when al
who are in their graves shall come
forth at the voice of the Son of Man;
We must conclude that the dying ones
did not enter at once into Heaven; anC
tf at what they saw was not an actua
glimpse of celestial glories, but merely
a phantasmagoria induced by an X
| cited condition OF the imaginative pow
ers of the mind, with q corresponding
