MUCH F Ito M MOUNTVILLK Our Mutual Dependence Homo Karo Holten ltullroml Kucket. The grandest feature in tim crea tive system is, tl.nt not ti single crea ted object lins the innte or inherent power of prolonging its own existence -independent of the existence of some other created object. It must of necessity depend for its existence to a certain extent on the existence ol* something else. Thc tiniest llower that blooms, eon tributes in some way to some extent to the existence of the inagestio oak whose wide spreading branches pro tect its tender leaflets from the temp ests and tlie sun's scorching mys. The grassy mends and flowery vales depend serdure and beauty upon the laughing rills that leap merrily on to wards tlie great oceans. The crashing thunder-bolt that ap palls and terrifies the fainted hearted Contributes greatly to revivifying the parched vegetation hy creating nitric acid in the last descending shower. While this is true of the Physical World it is equally true of the Politi cal. All professions and avocations are mutually dependent by the vory same law or arrangement and if all classes would work earnestly together having the sanie object in view without any one ('lass antagonizing or attempting to place another in a state of suhscr- j viency what a glorious country would we have.

In one yard hore il bl fully two bud high, of a rich bark green color, und by the exercise ol' a little imagina tion one can almost see the gobion butter reflected in its succulent leaves. A Lcxiiigtonhinsaid a lev days ago that this clover grow well in many place- on bis farm, but that it was always on thc richest land be bad, and, as that is thc sort of soil that cotton need-:, be did not Iel the clover have much chance.
