Glasser, a yonng Israelite, who has been in the grocery business hero for sometime past, surprised every body by selling out on Wednesday evening last and 1 skipping out to parts unknown.

One of the easiest, things n. the world is to find fault with other people. The least thing they do which seems eontrarv to our wuv "J ' i v.*e are ready to cot alter them, i I>111 how (liiiicult it is to see our : own faults; to understand our I weak points anil to remember i that as we see faults in others, j they see faults as bad and per! haps worse, in us. Let us be charj itablo and do as the groat artist who painted the picture of his i monarch, upon whose brow there j was a scar, lie placed his king with elbow resting on a table and his supported on his hand, hut with finger covering the scar. Let us endeavor to place the finger of charity over the scars of God's Children.?The Baptist Enquirer. Plllfrlm Good Cheer. Game was brought in from the woods in abundance,from venison whieh they know well how to roast, to the partridge, which is never so good as when broiled on the skewer. And, above all, they had the turkey, of which they found "a great store'Mn the forest ?the turkey thus early crowned queen of their bounty, and to which example their descendants, even though they may have failed to imitate them in other respects, have always been loyal. These savory meats all garnished their tables throughout that festival. Kettles, skillets and spits were overworked,whilo thus their knives and spoons, kindly assisted by their fingerB, made merry music on their pewter plates. Nor were these viands without : the company of the barley loaf and the cakes of Indian meal, more highly prized then than I wheat fed millions can imagine. ; ?Selected. New Development in Cotton. i Mr. K. 1). Thompson, of Point, | has sent the linrprrer a samplo stalk from his pot acre of cotton, together with the following letter of explanation: 1 This is the stalk from which ll. limb I scnf vou a few davs ago \v;i- < ut. At the time it was pulled up, there were on it 76 (grown bolls, and had it not been pulled up, I am sure that it would have matured that many more. If i you will examine t he stalk closely, I you will notice that the bolls of i cotton grew from the limbs after j the limbs had been formed. This ! is something peculiar. Usually, (the bud forms on the end of tho | limb, and the limb grows on past to form another hud while the first is developing. All through my cotton, however, I have noticed full grown bolls along the I'mbs at regular intervals with half grown bolls between. I i have been a close observer of cot* for iiO years, and this is n devel ment that is entirely new to me." ?Yorhville Enquirer.
