WHO WILL MEET ME FIR3T. Who will meet me first in heaven, When that blissful realm I gain ; When the hands havo censed from toiling, , An J the heart hath censed from pain ; When the last farewell is spoken, Severed, the last tender tie, And I know how sweet, how solemn, And how blest it is to die! As my barque glides o'er the waters Of that cold and silent stream, I shall see the domes cf temples In the distance brightly beam? Temples of that beauteous city From all jruilt and sorrow free ; Who, above its golden portals, First will haste to welcome me ? Who will greet me first in glory 1 (Oft the earnest thought wilt rise? Musing on the unknown wonders Of that heme beyond the skies,) Who will be my heavenly mentor 1 Will it be some seraph brrght, Or nn <in<ral from the countless * Myriads of that world of light! No, not, these for they have never Gladdened here my mortal view, But the dear ones gone before nic? Tliey, the loved, the tried, the true? They who walked with tne lift's pathway, From my soul by death were riven. They who loved me best in this world Will be first to greet me iu heaven. FLASHES.

Observe, ladies, Ketch urn A tipsuoH is thr name of a New York law pfni. When a fellow gets a broken licall, he's very apt to put it to soak in whiskey.

"What is money ?" asks an exehange. "Money is the mis-dog link between several hundred of our subscribers and the editor."

A farmer on the fever and ague marshes of New Jersey has named his i daughter "Malaria." She will doubtless be great shakes of a girl-" "Not guilty, but ought to be lunged," was the form in which a bigamist, in whose favor a technical point had been successfully raised, was acquitted by a jury in Chester, Pa. Poor young thing! She fainted away a' the washtub, and her nose went J- ? - kerslop in tne soap-suds. Some said it was overwork, others, however, whispered that her beau had peeped over the back fenco and called out, ' Hello, there, Bridget! Is Miss Alice liooic ?" r WORDS OF WISDOM. I Coasistancy is a virtue, but obst'nacy is not. He that belpcth an evil man, hurteth bitn that is good. Truth of word, meekness, courtesy, mercy and liberty stir up affection. What we win by prayer, we must wear with praise. The power of God, and not the devil, is to be feared. Modesty and humility make up the brighest crown of great performances. Voltaire once wrote to a friend ; "I hate life, and yet I am afraid to die." He that hath God, hath nil things ; and he that hath him not, hath nothing. True self-denial is harsh at the beginning, easy in the middle, and inost sweet in the end. He that is desperately inclined to his will, is ever most naar to the wrath of God. It is an evidence of great hardness !o he more concerned about our sufferings than our sins. He that prssumeth to understand everything, is thought to be ignorant in ail things. Love reposes at tho bottom of pure souls like a drop of dew in the chalicc of a flower. it is only when we resolve by the aid of n higher strength, and stand deter-1 miucdly upon that resolution, that we succeed. Patience is always crowned with success. This rule is without un exception. It may not he a splended success, but patience never takes anything in hand that it docs not succeed with in some form. God's goodness is shown us every day. He makes the rain and sunshine, and the grain to prow, giving "seed to the sower and bread to the eater." He blesses us with health and life; and for all these we should be thankful to Him. m The Psalmist telU us that "it is a pood j thing to give thaoki onto tbe Lord." i Information for Cotton Growers. In examining cotton do not allow yourselves to be deceived bv a fine e growth. If more than one kind of i cotton is planted, find out which \ 1 grows its limbs closest on the stalk and forms closest on the limbs. Figs v arc not gathered frovn thistles, 11 neither is cotton gathered from i stalk or leaf, but from bolls- It is j 1 a liberal boiling cotton you want.' 1 and not a liberal grower. I will try j to demonstrate this, your land i contains a sufficient quantity of the chemical elements to grow a certain I quantity of vegetable matter. Now ; i if these elements are exhausted, or nearly so, in making wcel there ; must necessarily follow a dearth of Is fruit. Per contra?with only a ' reasonable portion of these clement* i are taken up by a medium growth, the large balance left goes towaids i O O making and fully developing fruit. You may think this cannot be i controlled. My experience tells me s that it can be by proper manuring s and careful selection of se< d. By careful selection for several years I 1 have succeeded in developing a j cotton that inatnrcil almost to the' last form upon land that gave tne a yield, the same year, of two bales' to the acre. I mention tho yield to ' show the land was in good life. Upon ( such land cotton ordinarily is ex-;, pected to grow until checked hy frost.;. When this is the eaoe, of course- a ), very large part of the forms (which , make a' long as the cotton continues ( to grow) are lost, and consequently , you have not derived the full bonefit , of tne chemical elements your land , contains.?Exchange. Make the Horse Work. Horses were designed as beasts of t burden^ to 1^1 ievtf mankind fiwri fa* tiguing drudgery. It does not hurt thein to work hard, if they are treated kindlj. It is not the hfcrd drawing and ponderous loads that ' wear out horses and-make them poor, balky, and worthless ; but it is the ! hard driving, the worry by rough > atul inhuman drivers, that uses up 1 more horse (Tosh, f;lt and muscle ' thanajl the labor the kcatn performs. J Consider the jvmderoils Jottis that many teams are required to cart j1 every day, and several times a day, and yet tlicy appear to grow fatter and stronger every year. They arc treated kindly. On the other hand, i other horsc3 that do not perform1 half the labor soon grow poor, and give out, and the next we hear of ihcffi they die with the harness on. Hard work does not kill thein ; hut; the worrying, fretting, and abuse did the job. Horses will do all the mowing and | reaping on a large farm, thresh the grain, pitch the hay, turn the grind-; stor.c, saw the wood, and perform almost all the luavy labor that far-, mers have been accustomed to do, and grow fat if they are not worried j and jerked and kicked about as if they were a living football.?X. Y. Times. Cut This Out Every person should know how to treat a flesh wound, because one is liable to be placed in circumstances away from surgical and veterinary aid, where he may save his own life, ' the life of friend or of a beast, simply by the exercise of a little common , sense. In the first place close the lips of the wound with the hands and hold them firmly together to check 1 the flow of blood until several stitches can bo taken and a bandage applied. Then bathe the wound for a long tit. c in cold water. "Should it be painful," a correspondent says, "take a panful of burning coals and sprinkle upon them common brown i sugar and hold the wounded part in the smoke. In a minute or two the pain will be allayed, ami the rccov-i erv proceeds rapidly. In my case a rusty nail had mafic a bad wound in my foot. The pain and nervous irritation were severe. This was all removed by holding it in smoke fifteen minutes, and I was able to re" suite my reading in comfort. We | I have often recomtnonded it to others with like result. Last week one of my men had a fingernail torn off by j a pair of ice-tongs. It became very ; painful; as was to be expected. J fold in siifT.ar snruiko Iwentv minutes the ... ~"?3". - - J pain censed and promised speedy recovery." Excellent Varnlsli for Hnrness Procure at the druggist's or upotli- j ccarv's store half a pound or a i pound of gum shellac, according to the quantity desired ; break the j scales fine, and put them into a jug or bottle : add good alcohol sufficient to cover the gam ; cork tightly and place tho jug where it will be kept I warm. In about two, days, if the bottle or jug is shaken frequently, j the guiu will be dissolved and ready | for use. If tho liquid appears asj thick as thin molasses, add more alcohol. To one quart of varnish add one ouneo of good lampblack. J and an ounce of gum camphor Such varnish will not render harness hard ; but it will keep the harness from being soaked with water, and it will keep the surface clean and neat for a long time. A coat of such varnish will effectually prevent the oil in the leather from spoiling !one's hands. Nothing is better to render a farmer's hoots waterproof than an occassional coat of this leather varnish. i . r Facts for Iho Farmers* It is worth while for all farmers, verywhere, to rctnerubcr that tlioough culture is better than three nortgnges on the farm. That an offensive war against the vceds is five times less expensive han a defensive one. That good fences always pays letter than a lawsuit with neighbors. That hay is great a deal cheaper j nade in summer that purchased in ( i\ inter. That more stock perish from famine than founder. 1 hat a horse that lavs ears back, ind looks lightening when any one; i . . ipproaclics, is vicious. That scrimping the feed of fattening hogs is a waste of grain. That educating children properly is money lent at ten per cent. That one evening spent at home in study is niore profitable than ten -pent in lounging around saloons ind taverns. Tho cows should be milked regular, and clean. Sprains. Between the hones of the ankle ind the wrist there are muscles." When by accident these are drawn nit of their nlaces. what we call a sprain is produced. AVIirn <ne is aware that lie lias suffered this species of derangement, the first thing to lie done is to keep the part injured perfectly still, and hy no means use it in the least. The tnuseles left to themselves will return to their) places gradually. Hops steeped in vinegar and applied hot to the injured part will quiet the anguish and restore wholeness. Hut more important than any application is perfect quiet. The Pip iu Poultry. Poultry are sometimes troubled with a disease known as "pip." This is inflammation of the tongue and mouth, with the growth of a liorny seale on the point of the tongue, which prevents the fowls from feeding. Give each fowl a jdnch of powdered chlorate of potash, Rroppjng it into tue tnroai uiki upon ic tongue and remove the scale with the point of a penknife. Fresh Mam*hi: Bad for Pota_ toks.?Fresh manure is hurtful to potatoes. This crop needs old wellrotted manure, or the tubers are apt to be scabby, and to be infested with white worms. Fresh manure may be used for corn without any ill effects. The corn rather likes it.
