Upon a aafe estimate not les than 400,000 tons of cotton seed ar used each spring In planting. The ae? to sown lavishly In drills?not dropped at certain distances, as corn?and afte the plants are up the crop Is thlnnm with a hoe. more than nine-tenths o the young plants being cut out. Here we And that the seed used li planting the cotton crop would bring h the market at least 14,400,000. As nine tenth* of thin la wasted, we see here i total waste of over Ave and one-hat million dollars (15.760,000.) It is time for the cotton growers o: the South to call a halt to this ex travagance. The old system of sowini cotton seed in the drill is a remnant <> the times when cotton seed was ;ilmo:t worthless. Since then their value hi.i so much enhanced that a chanjre shoult be made in the manner of planting In stead of sowing the seed In drills dro| them at a distance wanted, and by fnl< lowing this method not only the laboi of thinning is saved, but nearly 400.00 tons of good Cotton seed is saved foi commercial use. and the farmers of th< South are Ave million dollars richer.

The most of the day was taken up in attending to the; usual t usiness of occasion*. The next day the weather was so very bad that there were no services of any kiud in any of our churches. The last 5th i Sunday a Union meeting was to have been held here, but the bad weather prevented its being the succeaa, that was desired, and this was appointed, and as this was a failure in part, still another appointment will have to be made. Miss Rosa Hill of Bell's came over Saturday and bas since been with the family of Mr. J. Henry Bell. Today a week ago, our streams were no longer bank-bound, but were out, covering the greater part of the low lands, because of the heavy rains, for tbe two days before. About tbe middle of tbe week, the frost king, reminded us that be had not left us till the time for his next winter's return, |by giving us evidence of the 7 fact, for two or three mornings light jf frosts were seen in places, not enough to do harm. Yesterday was a bad one, it wa* " rough indeed. a strong cold North-East , wind and an incessant rain, duriug the day and night. Another several days i. set-back to the farming interests.

" Be not discouraged at broken and " spoiled resolutions; but to it and to it I again ! " He who has a perfect love of God ccd have no more hatred of any of Hia creatures thau (tod Himself baa. The power of winning and holding tbe kindly regard of other* is one of the mo*t precious gifts of God, and is the tneaus of a large influence for good. The desire for God, and his glory, and favor, tbe desire to be like Him which comes from setting Him always before lis is a preventive of tbe desire for self. Let us leave anxieties to God. Why need we bargain that our lives should be a success, still less that it should not be a success purchased by sacrifices and sufferings? Never was a sincere thought utterly lost. Never a magnanimity fell to the ground, but there is some heart to greet and accept it unexpectedly, And it is a fact that one never sins, , breaking even the least of God's com mamlments, that the Heart of the ((rent aud loving Father does not yearn over him and long for hits return. The human race it* divided into two classes?those who go ahead and do something and tbo*e who sit Htiil aud inquire, "Why wasn't it done the other way?" We need more in this world thau the calm of quiet circumstances. We may have that and yet be in a tempest, of unrest. What we need is soul rent, and none but Jesus can give us that. Every one experienced in dealing with temptation knows that the fuller glories of God's truth are needed for delivering the soul from the power of Satan's mightiest attacks. ! It is sweet and good to live, but how much ?weeter aud better when we kuow that what we call death will be merely a letting go of that which we, can hold no longer?a canting of}* of I that which can no longer serve us. Let utt think before we h|>enk, Hi nee i ; the word* we munt s|>eak must enter, iuto the life of the world and tuuke it woree or better, and if we err on either Hide, err iu gentleness aud tenderness aud love.
