Our Orphans.
Dr. Jacobs of the Thornwell Or*
.phanago, Clinton, S. C, writes:
UA little child alone iu the world,
its bright black eyes tilled ? with
tears, came to me held by the hand
of a good woman. Only five years
old, fatherltcs, motherless, she finds
hersolf after a long ride on the csih,
under the core of a friendly travel
or, at tho door of tbo Orphanage.
But poor little thing, she knows
nothing of where who is, does not
- even know the plane from which
?he carne; she has her name writ
ten on a slip of paper as an intro
duction to the kind friends who fin
hereafter to csre for her. She
brings ? littlo package under her
arms,?it is her all of worldly
good. So it was, only a ffw w?eks
ago, but now how different. Tears
are dried. She is opening her
bright eyes to tho h-ssons thai
come to her daily. Falling into the
routine of chapel and school and
dinner and play, she is waking up,
her young soul is speaking through
lips and flngors and fee^ and dim
pled check. Some ono now loves
the little girl. Some one puts her
to sleep at night after hor lip*
have whispered "Our Father." She
is finding a home, she is finding
herself, she will somo day find
God." .
. This little child was welcomed
. to tho loving care of the Thornwell
Orphanage. Every one of the 250
Children in the school of that in

COTTON.
The cot.!on plant haH somewhat

they approach the top, in full matu<
ritv When '.lie plant is young, of
course 'ho leavca are all tender ami
small. TUo plant bears large red
and yellow ilowers which havo no
odor and which givo way to the cot
ton bolls, (about the latter part of
August or later.) The holla are green
ami hard and almost round until,
they open and the cotton if left long
enough will hang from the pods very
loosely and drop on the groupd. The
average height of cotton in this ro>
?ion jh about three and a-half feet
l>nt we often see cotton lour and
live feet tall. Cotton requires a sun
dv soil, an>l does not need much fer
tilizer of any. <<<<scciption except the
natural kind of keeping the grass

implement which makes the holes in
the ground and places tho cottdh
seed into them at the same time
