N Strikes. Tho present low priee of cot ton can be partially ascribed to the strike of the operatives in the print and other mills at Fall River. This, we believe, is merely a temporary thing. We think that the real cause of the lowering of prices is caused by the exagerated statements by the Bears of the cotton market. Our observation and common sense teaches us that there can not possibly be more than an eleven and a half million crop, and through the same medium, we predict a price of 15 cents for cotton by the first day of March, SECURE PATENT Send us a model or sketch of Invention, IK.7. 1 ^/JEUP6 ??<> report as to potent ability, FRC8. 6end for special offer to Inventors before applying for patent: It will roi/Tou: this la no bogus guarantee or refund scheme.

Every one can picture such a scene, even if they have never seen one; bnt this particular time stands out clearly in my memory. It was late Saturday afternoon, a cold and blustering autumn evening. It was the height of the cotton season, and, turning the corner of Broad Street, it seemed as if more business was being done this afternoon than usual, even more than was done on other Saturdays. The street was lined up on both sidos with wagons, piled high with cotton, some in bales and some heaped in baskets, while the pavements were crowded, but mostly with negroes, of all sizes and shapes. I 'saw many funny sights, but they were interesting. I learned more about human nature in those few hours than I could otherwise have learned in a life-time per haps. It was a line opportunity to study farmer, both white and black, the cotton trader, the patient clerk, the eager mer chant, and the general mass of people. After staying on tne street for about two hours, I came home, without having purchased any thing that I either needed or wanted, but 1 felt repaid for those two hours. It was nearly as much fun and excitement as Christmas Eve, and much more interesting and instructive. Rives Lang. Age 16. Third Year, High School. 0m1 T?*mm Bptt M htu ltm?

The alarm of fire Is given. In a few min utsa the fire horses come flying an the street with the fire wagons the people oome running out of their houses to the scene; every body is wild with excitement, especially the occupants- of the house. The fire wagons are soon at scene and the firemen's work be gun. Some of them run into the house to save the occupants and articles of furniture while the others try to extinguish the flames. If the fire happens to occur at night, very often the occupants will run out of the house in their nightclothes, being so excited that they will not take time to get them, and some times they even forget the chil dren. If the alarm- is given soon enough, the firemen extinguish the flames, rnd save most of the things in it; but very often they are too late, and the building is burnt up, and the losses are very great, especially when there is no insurance on the house. vry It' takes a man with a cool head and a brave heart to be a tire man. Probably one of the best illustrations of bravery is shown by ihe fireman of* the large cities; they climb into the highest shories of the burning building and rescue the occu pants while the house is covered with flames; not thinking of their own danger, but of that of the occupant. Sometimes a tire man is burnt up iu the building, while be could h%ve saved his own life easily enough, had he neglected that of the occupants. Ray Little, Age 15, Second Year, High School. Vw Dm IMagt MDM you gc to the funerslt" mm woman asked another. "Yes/* was the reply. '*1 always feci it a doty to go to funerals and iihow tny re spect for tbo dead. " The two moved on, bat their conversation started a train of thought within ma Is it always a tribute of reaped to go to funerals, irrespective of pervuna, as I am aware this woman does! No matter what the rank of the deceas ed, or bow slight her acquaintance, whether private funeral or not, rain or shine, ber presence may lie count ed upon. It msy be gratifying to the vanity of some to have a large crowd at the funerals of their beloved dead, but to most sensible people the oocasion Is too sacred and the sorrow too real to care for the sympathy of casual aoquaintanoes. Friends' facos are always weloome during bereave ment, and it is dutiful and beautiful to express a word of hope when most needed and to aooompany the stricken ones to the last resting plaoe of the dead. But what about the living around us, who are full of life and ambition, or those bur dened with sorrow none may guess t Why not give them "a glad good morning," or an hour or two of yoar society at a time you feel they must be lonely V Wait not until death comes and then rush to tlie i funeral as though you had always been a most cherished friend. I like It not ? this custom prevalent in small towns which permits any and all to attend the funerals of thos? to whom they are almost unknown | and whose motive for going is often sol) euriosity.?
