THE PATH THROUGH THE CORN. From I/if Xftr Jtruxa/rm Mtttengtr, Wavy ami bright in tlie summer air? Like a quiet sea when the winds blow fair. And its roughest breath has scarcely curled The green highway to an unknown world? Soft whispers passing from shore to shore, liike a heart content yet desiring more; Who feels forlorn, Wandering thus on the path through the corn? A short space since and the dead leaves lay Corrpting under the hedgerow gray: No hum of insect or voice of bird O'er the desolate field was ever heard: Only at eve the pallid snow Blushed rose red in the red sun-glow: Till, one hle?t morn, Shot up into life the young green corn: Small and feeble, tender and pale. It bent its head to the Winter's gale, Scarcely believing spring w as near: Hearkened the wren's soft note of cheer. Saw chestnuts bud out, and camptous blow. Ami daisies mimic the vanished snow. Whore it was born, (In either si le of the patli through tlie corn. The corn?the corn?the beautiful corn, Rising, wonderfully, morn by morn, First scarce as high as a fairy's wand, Then, just in reach of t child's wee hand, Then growing, growing?tall, green and strong. With the voice oft he harvest in its song, ? While for scurn, ^ The lark xmt carols the murmuring corn. Oh, strange, sweet path, formed day by day, How, when and wherefore?tongue cannot say, Xo more thau life's strange path we know Whither they lead us, or why we go; Or whether our eyes shall ever see The wheat in the ear or the fruit on the tree. Yes?who is forlorn? Heaven, that watered the furrows will ripen the corn. SMALL GRAIN CROPS. The notion is very common u'fliong * ^ il _ ' X- 1 our people mat mere is no money iu ue made in this country by raising small grain for market. This may be true, or it may not be true. The fact is, no one in this region of country is prepared to give an opinion on the subject that is worth very much. Our people have so long been engaged in the cultivation of cotton almost exclusively, that generally speaking, no one understands how to make a dollar any other way. It is no doubt true, that money is, at certain seasons of the year, more abundant in a section that is engaged in the cultivation of cotton, than it is in a region that raises grain for market; bat when we look at the final results, we see that people grow more permanently rich in grain grOWinrr inrl m-irmfnptnrinrr rnnntrifVQ than .they do in cotton growing countries. The southern section of the United States is superior, both in climate and soil, to the northern and western. We mean that the soil of the Sjuth, pn an average, Is tiCTTPT than of cither the north or west, and the climate more favorable for agricultural purposes. The southern section was* settled about the same time the northern section was, and much sooner than the western and northwestern sections. The south has boen devoted almost exclusively to the raising of cotton; and the north and west to the raising of grain and manufacturing. In point of wealth, the balance is all-in favor of the northern and western sections. Southern cities grow slowly and with great effort. In the north and west, cities spring up as if bv magic. Land and property of ail kinds increase steadily and rapidly, whilst property in the south is not much more valuable to-day, than it was fifty vears arm. J ~o The state of tilings which is here only suggested, must be owing to some cause, and we do not see any thing so probable as the fact that our people have neglected to engage in the raising of grain and to manufacture. Perhaps there is no crop that can be cultivated, that is so expensive as that of cotton. It requires a whole year to make a crop, and from the time the first furrow is drawn until the crop is sold, there is a continual drain going on. Nothing escapes. The soil is exhausted, and, in a few years, almost ruined; stock of all kinds is neglected, and the result is that all that the majority of exclusive cotton cultivators can do is to keep out of debt. On the other hand, while the gross income from a grain crop is not so large as that from a cotton crop, the direct expenses and incidental losses in producing it are far less; and the balance sheet is in favor of the grain crop. It costs comparatively nothing to produce a crop of oats, and if the land is not pastured it will he improved. The same is true with regard to wheat, rye and barley. To sum up the whole in a few words, it costs every man ? 1 ........ wno IS engUgl'il ill Ugl itunuiv, ?vi anon three times as much to buy his small grain and provender, as it dees to raise it at home on his own farm. The same principle holds good in respect to the raising of pork and bacon. On a cotton plantation, every living creature that cannot work is an expense. It costs actual money to feed it. Its food has to be bought and paid for out of the proceeds of the cotton crop. Some one will, no doubt, ask, "I)o you advocate the abandonment of the cultivation of cotton? We answer, most emphatically, "No!" Two wrongs will not make one right, ft is bad policy to run into extremes.? The true theory of accumulation, as dc monstrated in the history of the past, is sound in what is called diversity of labor, which results in diversity of products.? All corn, or all of any one kind of grain, would he just as had as all cotton. Cotton. and almost all the cereals, can he ^ produced in the south. Nature has made ] . V provision for this, both in soil and cli- ] mate. There are some kinds of soil that are not adapted to the cultivation of grain, but are to the cultivatien of cotton. To plant thirsty, sandy soils m corn, is not attended with favorable reMilts; but to plant all our lands in cotton is a violation of the laws of nature. J Yorhrille Enquirer. Excellent Whitewash.?The following is said to be the very best of the nnmarniK rpcines for whitewashing: v, -v ~ ~ ~ ~I O White chalk is the best substitute for lime as whitewash. Preparation of chalk is called Paris white. This we buy at the paint store for three cents a pound, at retail. For each sixteen pounds ef Paris white we procure half a pound of white transparent glue. The sixteen pounds of Paris white is about as much as a person will use in a day. It is pepared as follows: the glue is covered with cold water at night, and in the morning it is to be carefully heated, without scorching, until dissolved. The Paris white is stirred in with hot water to give it the proper milky consistency for applying to walls, and the dissolved glue is then added and thoroughly mixed. It is then applied with a brush like the common lime white wash. Except on very dark and smoky walls, a single coat is sufficient. It is nearly equal in brilliancy to zinc wmie, a far more expensive article. A load of gravel applied to the ruts and gullies saves the necessity of two applied at the cud of the year. Travel on a well made road does far less injury than the rains and frost. If the inequalities are immediately remedied, travel rather helps than hinders road making.? Every one prefers the well beaten track to a new made road. It is quite possible to distribute tlie repairs so evenly through the year that the road bed may be always in good condition. The loss to the farming community from bad roads is enormous.. It is one of the heaviest taxes they have to pay. It is laid on every article that goes from the farm to the market, and in many cases the tax is so heavy that it swallows up all the profits. Good roads lessen the cost of production; they cheapen the grocer's bill, the millinor'R hill, and especially the .cost of fer """ " " ' 1 v tizers, which are the secrets of economical farming.

Having been tested with the polarscope, the diamond lenses have been found to admit fifteen per cent, less heated rays than any other pebble.
