SEEDS
Vf9 aro sowing, doily sowing.
Countless seeds of good nnd ill ;
Scattered on the lovol lowland,
Oast upon tho windy hill ;
Seeds timi sink in rich brown furrows,
Soft with Heaven's gracious ruin ;
Seeds that rest upon the mirinee
Of the dry unyielding plain.
S'- 's that fall amid tho stillness
OT the lowly mountain glen ;
Seeds east out in crowded places,
Troddon under foot of men ;
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten,
Flung nt random on tho air;
Seeds'by faithful Boola remembered,
Sow iv in- tears, and .ovo, and prayer.
Seed? that lio unchanged, unquickcticd,
Lifeless on the teeming mould ;
Seeds that live and grow and flourish,
When th? Bower's hand is cold.
By a whisper sow we blessings,
By a breath wo scatter strife?
Zn our words ?nd looks and actions
Lio the seeds of death and lifo.
Thou who knowest nil our weakness,
Leave us not to sow alone*.
Bid thiuo angels guard the furrows,
Whero tho precious grain is sown,
Till tho Holds aro crowned with glory.
Filled with tho mellow ripened ears
Filled with fruit of life eternal
From tho seeds wo sowed in tears.
CHeok-tho forward thoughts and passions,
Stay the hasty, heedless hands,
Lest tho germs of sin and sorrow
Mar our fair and pleasant lands.
Father, help each weak endeavor,
IHhkc each faithful effort blest,
Till thine harvest shall bo garnered,
And we enter into rest.
Discovery In Cotton I'ultiirCr
Tho Demopolis (Alabama) Exponent, tolla
tho following almost iucredible stury about
tho growth of a cotton tree, protected from
the frost, which wc republish for what it is
worth, but do not wish to bc understood as
Touching for tho veracity of thc writer:
Io 1807 a planter of thia county, living
some 12 miles from this city, conceived of the
idea that thc cotton plant properly cared for
could be made to bear for more than ono year.
Rc believed that tho vitality of the plant was
destroyed by frost only. Tho result of his
experience, which we will nive itt his own
words, is of unspeakable importance to thc
material interests of the cotton growing conn
try, placing us above and beyond the necessi
ties and uonoyauecs of our present system of
labor.
His account of his success which is far bo
yond1 his most sanguino expectations, is large
ly vouched for, und is as follows :
"I lost a lurge amount of money in 1800,
tho year succeeding the surrender, in my far
ming operations,and despaired, almost, of tho
futuro of tho cotton sect inn. in the many
sleepless- nights I passed thinking over my
own affairs and what the future had in store
for myself and neighbors, whoso dependence
for existence rested solely upon agricultural
productions, of which the culture of cotton
ls tho chiefest, tho main stay, in fact, of the
cotton States, the foundation on which was
built ali they enjoyed of prosperity in manu
facturing, in banking, it) metehaudizintr, in
nil that went to make up thu sum of their
varied industries, threatened, as those inter
C8ts seemed to be, about to suffer extinction
by a system of labor that made tho cost nf
production of thc cotton crop urea ter than
tho value of tho article produced. liy In
spiration, forjt could have; been nothing else,
it occurred to me that could thc annual kill
ing of the plant hy frost be prevented the
plant might become a tree-a fruitful, ever
bearing treo.
''Success has succeeded my most sanguine
expectations, my wildest dreams. I will tell
you oxactly how I proceeded and describo th"
result, lu tho spring of 1807 I selected a
spot of ground, about 40 feet square, plan
ted in the centre a cotton seed, tended it
oarefully; in September I built about it ?
pen some eight feet square and covered it
with glass, kept a thermometer in it, and by
tho aid of n small stove, kept I i f.- nod growth
in thc plant until May of 1808, at which
timo I removed the pen. During the sum
mer of 10S my plant grow till it became a
small tree In the fall of thc year I picked
800 pounds of seed cotton from it and built
another pen on tho same plan, but, larger than
tho first; followed tho same process through
the winter and again moved u y pen in the
spring of '09. That year I picked from
what was then a tree, cotton that ntado a
bile of 470 pounds The treo had now grown
so large that I doomed it safe from frost, and
in tho winters of '09 and '70 I left it unpro
tected, lu tho spring of '70 it bloomed nt
tho saino time with tho poach tree, mid in
tho fall I made from it 1,283 pounds of lint
ootton. At this writing, the treo is in full
bloom- and- premisos at hast thrco bales of
cotton and is the wonder of all who seo it.
'.It is some twenty five feet in height, mens
orrs at tho but nineteen inches in diameter,
shows no signs of decay, nnd will probably
live and bear fruit for years to come. If thi?
statement does not settle the labor question
nothing will. I have endeavored to describe
succinctly tho result of my experiment ; to
have entered fully into all thc minutia would
have occupied H vohtmo, but if this short ar
tiolo snail turn tho nttention of planters to
thc following np of this marvelous progress,
my purpose will have boen answered."
THE SUBSOIIJKII.-There is no doubt but
th*t ?ll kinds of hind--rieb (ind poor, wet
and dry-can be made productivo hy tho uso
of tho eub soil plow. There are many places
whero tho character of tho soil is such, that
vory deep plowing with tho ordinary plow
brings up dirt that ought not to como to the
aurfaco ; in fact, there aro few localities tho
soil of which is not beat on the surface,
eh. nhl not bo turned down deep, and tho un
der olay brought aboyo. Hut thorn is no
land that cennot bo mado productive by the
Uso nf tho subsoiler, which gouges up and
loosons tho dirt a foot or moro below the sur
f?ao.. Double plowing with ono plow in tho
truck of tho other, brings up tho dirt from
tile bottom, and o?sfs it on tho top, loving ?
.<kep furrow for tho front plow on tho next
round to turn tho top soil into. Farmers of
every scotion may set it down as a denfonstrn
ted ?floi, a self ovidont proposition, if wo may
use thc hnguago, tint soila of evory chamo
ter will be greatly bonefittcd for tho spring
drop?, by hoing stirred down deep aa it is
possible togo nt the time of preparing im
printing. If there is too initoh rain on tho
young crop, tho loose earth will let it through
tho Booner; and if there is. n drouth, the
moisture will mofa readily come to the roots
of the crop thon if tho ground was hard a

Untidy'* Ito y.
Io o coiU?ri Minali town on thc Mississippi
lived u man wlio luud? horso-lr iding u busi
ness, ile bought up horses for n city imtrkut,
and was considered pretty good on u trade.
Ono day, a long, lean, quce.*, green looking
specimen ot' tho western county arrived at
dock with ti boat, load of horses. Ile inquired
for the horse jockey.
"Daddy sent mo down with some horses," ,
he Slid, in half idiotic toue.
"Who's he?"
"Daddy."
..What do you want for your horses ?"
"Daddy said you could sot yuro price," was
the response. I
"Let mo go down and look at your horses," .
?aid Drown, and ueeordiiiolj thoy wore soon
ut tho boat.
Drown examined the horses, and mimed
tho pri?e he would giV6 for this one und thnt,
and the country bumpkin made objection, al
though sumo of tho offers we-o not more than
one-half the real price "of . ) animal. Ono
of thc bystanders gently suggested to tho
cou n try mun tnat he was being cheated, hut :
he returned : j
"Daddy said Drown would set tho prico |
himself," and so Drown had itali his own
way.
At last they came to another animal which I
did not look much superior to tho rest.
"I must have moro fut" that anprniel," s dd
the fellow. "Daddy says ho can run some." |
"Knn!" said Diowu, "that nag can't run j
worth a oent."
"Daddy said so, nod daddy knows."
"Why, L'vo got ono np ?it tho stibles that
would boat it, all ludlow."
"Guess not," said tho follow. "Let's try i
'em. I'll bet the whole bout Pntd of horses:
on 'im."
Drown smiled.
"I'll stake fivo thousand dollars against .
your boat load," said Drown, winking to tho
crowd, "and these mon," selecting two, "shall .
hold the stake?."
Brown's live thousand was intrusted to ono i
und tho other wont on bo it'd tho horse bo it. j
One of tho crowd started to renton trato
with tho poor idiotic fellow, but he only re
sponded
"Golly ! dad told me he could run some,
und daddy ought to lose 'em if he wits sich a !
tamal fool as to tell inc that when he couldn't " j
Brown's sleek racer was brought down, and !
Drown mounted him. Tito countryman led
out his animal and climbed on his back, look
ing us uncouth and awl:wald as the horse he
proposed to ride.
The word was given, and they started l
midst the laughter of the crowd. At first
Drown w s ahead, and it it looked as though ;
the poor fellow was to bo badly beaton, win n ,
suddenly he plunged forward and the horse \
jockey was lett fal' behind Such going had
not been seen in those puts fur a loin? time, j
and poor Drown was crestfallen, as thc cheers
of the bv-sVanders fell on his ears.
"I'll take tho spondulix," siid the conn
trytuan, riding up "Dad was right. The
auermul emt uit round a little."
' Drown tried to say it was a joke, but the
fellow would Inve his money,
"1 guess I won't trade to d iv." he said. ?s j
ho put it in his obi, t'ouglt, leather pocket
book. I'll go buck to daddy.'
In vain Drown tried tu in luce him to
fraile, hut he pushed olf ids boat, resolutely
Saying, "I'd better go b u k. and t.dl daddy."
Drown was completely sold, for he knew at
once, that ?ho green countryman was a leetle I
shrewder than people imagined him. ami had
just coine there proposuly to win his money j
fruin him
Next timi be did not ridicule a horse that ':
daddy said could un sonic.

They took their time, mid interspersed tho

istied tho gamo. Juhnsun, being wi.mer, i
raked in tho money.
Jones studied about it a while. Ut; made
np his mind that it w?S not right for John
son to take tho inonoy, as they were neigh
bors-not gamblers, any w.y--and wore only
in tun. Ile said :
.'You aro mit going to take tho money, are j
you ?"
"Yes. indeed. 1 am," said Johnson.
"Well," said Jones, "you had as well lake
it out ot' my pocket."
"Now, Jones, taite that hack "
"1 shall not tike it back ; and if 3011 are
not sa li.-lied, help youiselt in any way you

'. But, Jones. I insist tint you take it back,

"I shall not take it b..ck ; and I now re- |
pent that you Ino! ns well have stolen that
money out ot' my pocket, ll' you wish a dif- j

"Well, then, wo will shoot it out," said j
Johnson.
"Very well, sir," said Jones, "mention

Without further ceremony all tho arranoo

there, and ul once concluded to have the light ; ?

tho shooting, woubt back out unless he could
bo encouraged They knew, on the other 1
hand, that Jones would stand up without ' .
with Hindling. The seconds maded the pistols 1
blank cartridges ami informed Johnson ot the
fact, but did not let Junes in tho secret - (
They did this to make Johnson stand, which,

Hair Vigor;
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which y
is at onco ngreeabloj
healthy, and effectual
for preserving tho
huir. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to ifs original color,
with tho gloss and
freshness of youth.'
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair cheeked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its uso. No!hing can restore tho
bair whoro tho follicles arc destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can bo saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling tho hair with a pnsty pedi
ment, it will keep it clean ana vigorous.
Its occasional uso will prevent tho bair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Freo
from those dolctorious substances which
make some preparations dangerous, undi
injurious to tho hair, tho Vigor cant
only benefit but not bann it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing oho can bc found PO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on thc hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustro and a grateful perfumo.
