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. Work the roads to day and
save money.

THESE Spectacles are manufactured from "MINUTE
CRY8TAL PEBBLES," melted together, and afe
called DIAMOND on account of their hardness and
brilliancy.
It is well known that Spectacles cut from Brazilian or
Scotch Pebbles are very Injurious to the eye, because of
their polarizing effect.
Having been tested with the polarscope, the diamond
lenses have been found to admit fifteen per cent, less
heated rays than any other pebble.
They are ground with great scientific accuracy, are
free from chromatic aberrations, and produce a brightness
and distinctness of vision not before attained In
Spectacles.
Manufactured by the Spencer Optical Manufacturing
company, New York. For sale by
J. A. YOtJNO, Camden, S. C.
r>.nnn ?hnm tho* can onlv be obtained. No peddlers
employer].
The great demand for these Spectacles has induced
unscrupulous dealers to palm an Inferior and spurious
article for the " Diamond." Great care should be taken
to see that the trade mark (which Is protected by American
Letters Patent) are stamped on every pair.
