A lady writes to meo and asks what Is
really metcant by the " needlu's eye " in
the parable of tho rich man. I romem
bor reading somewhere that it was the
smallest gate that gave entrance to the
walled city of Jerusalem, and that a
loaded camel had to be stripped of its
burden and l'end its knoeb to tqueeze
through. And so a rich man had to
give up his riches and come to his knees
before he could enter Iloavon. But
I do not find that in any commentary.
It was just one of tho thousand pro.
verbs that adorned the moral teachings
of the Jews and the eastern nations.
The writings of Job and Solomon and
Confuolus and Mahomot abound In
them. In the Koran is found this pro
verb: " The impious man will find the
gates of Heaven shut and ho can no
more enter than a camel can pass
through a needle's eyo." There is an
other in the Koran which says : "You
will never see a palm tree of gold nor
an elephant pass through a neeWe's
eye." Theso proverbs simply muant

WellI, the word ntegroi Is Sp~anish and
Portugoo for black. The l''rench is ni

l ish corruptedl it Into nigger. The Cen

more English thtan negi'o: and was usedi
without oppi'obrieus Intent ; and can
be found in writiings of' Tom [lood and
Praed and Trevelyn. 1'Te lilh call
them nagers. But as the Latin is the
foundation of all thos~e langanges I
would say that nigoir is really the ori

him whether he wa~s a ntegr-oor a whitie

grinned as he replicd :"M inc fader

him ?'' " Let him etay or pitch htimn

said to me, " I think he is a cros-s he.

Against Selling the Crop in A4

Taeru ii tendency on the part <
bome cotton growers to consider favo,

crop wilich they expect to raise th
amson, and some newspaipors has
advised tLil to try it. inl regard I
Lthe pro posit tn that Southern farme,
shulid sell On it basis of Now Yor
futLures fo. Septem ber and OC)tob(

;ltelltd, Mr. Alfred 13. Shepperso
writes as follows In the Manufacturer
Ixeerd :
"No farmer could sell his crop u
the basis of prices for September an
(O-tober delivory unless he agreed t
deliver it during those months. H
could deliver only a small proportic
of his c''op by that thne, as pickin
usually goes On tiltI DeLmber an
sometimes much later. Ho could oal
zeil with bafety for delivery in Novell
bor and Decenber, and New Yor
futures for thbese months are neurl
half at cent lower than for Septembc
i'elivery. The present price ft
November delivery would leave tlb
fariner, after' paying freight, commi
siOnsB atnd oter charges, about 7 conl
port pound for middling cotton. Thl
should1( net, ho regardedl a very temp,
ing price, since it hlas been exceedt~
during every calendar year with on]
one exception since 1826.
" Should the farmer sell now for di
livery next fail or winter and pric<
before then should advance from at
reason, ihe would have to make a d
posit of money eq(uali to the advane
and the raising oh tis inoney migi
prove inconvenienlt and Lrpensive.
Lhe farmer shoul1 d sell more thban h
crop turn'ted out to be, he would thit
have to buy of his neighbors to mial
up the quantity. In the event of higi
er prnices ruling at thbat time than I
had sold at, he might thus suffer a coi
iilderaible loss, besideo havIng to pa..
witha all of his own crop~ at a lowc
price than his neighbors were recel
I ! , from the condition of his crc
late in the summer, theo farmer shou
feel reasonably confident o1 makia
20L0 bales of cotton, It would be wie
perPhaps, to sell 100 bales for Novet
tier or December delivery against hi
crop if the price was satisfactory. Th
would be safe and perfectly legitimat
and is fecquently done through Sout
ern! factors.
" The old adage that a 't.hoemaka
should stick to his last,' though voi
homely, is nevertheless true in a ge
cral way, thbe exceptios bt, servir
to prove the rule. A farmer shout
not try to he a speculator, ils tral,
Ing, his environment and his facilitid
are alil agaitist his success ain. hiand
cap him in the struggle with mnn
keener wits, greater opportunities an
less lulnate honesty.
" Let the farmer use better an~
more scientillic methods, studyln
closely the needs of his soil so as to gi
tibe greatest yild at tile least cost
pro~duction. Let hIm buy nothing whic
catn be1 plroduceed at hiome.

duced lnto the Unltad States by the
late John W. Blardsley, a nativoof Eng

" Sparrow Jack " Hairdeley, and who
lived in the little two-story house still
standing at Main and Upsal streets,
Germantown. From an anulhaOrlativm:
source it, now appears that the respon

g pest'ferous little birds must he laid
is upon Nicholas Pike, of Brooklyn. Hie,
d it, is stated, brought over with him
A from England in the fall of 1850 about
eight pairs of sparrows, butt they soon

I- experiment, having purchased a num- I
e bor' of sparrows while on his way to
