Mixed Farming. Tin- farmer who is now depressed knows full well the cause and sees clearly that a change must be made or lie will soon go to the poor house The allcotton policy has ruined him, and his only chance is to call a halt and diversify his crops in future. A Texas farmer writes to the Farmer’s World: “The exclusive cotton planter is always pushed for both time and money- It will not do to depend on any one crop. A farmer who diversifies is the one who generallv 40 years 32 per cent.; 40 and 45 years | prospers.

His home laid been a religious one. lie was a member of a Christian church, had pious parents, brother and sisters; his family was one in Christ. On grad uating he determined upon a western life among the mines. Fui! of cour age and hope, be started ont on his long journey to strikeout for himself in a new world. The home prayers followed him. As he went lie fell into the company of older men. The;, liked him for his frank manners and his manly independence. As they journeyed they stopped for a Sabbath in a border town. 4>n the morning of the Sabbath one of his fellow- travelers said, “Come, Ictus be oil for a drive and the sights.” “No,” said the young man, “I am going to keep the Sabbath, and I promised my mother I would keep bn in that way.” His road ucf|uaintaneo looked at him for a moment and then slapping him on the shoulder said, “Right my I i-y I lK«raii in that way. ! wish I had Youngninn, you will do. and \u:u will win.” The boy went to church, all honor to him in thatfur-away place and among such men. Hiseonipankinsliad their drive, but the boy gained tbeir con fidence, won their resp.-ct by bis man ly avowal of good obligations. Al ready success is spilling uj»ou that young man.

The address is (piito a leughtliy one, and is mainly taken up by a su nmary of the facts leading to the calls for the convention, and the ti- naneial condition of the imiducers of America. The address s.ivs: “The call for said eoiiference ori ginated. with the National Farmers’ Alliance and industriai l uiou al Ocala, Fla.’, in Deeen.ber, ISW, as follows: “This body gives ii.; .sauetion and call for a meeting to be held about February, !8'.)2, to be composed ol delegates from all organ! oat ions of producers upon a fair basis of repn - seiitation, f-ir tin- purpose of general a-id tliorongh conference upon tin demand ■ of each, and to the end that al! i.i'', .ig:-:-• up i.i a join! set of de mand-. jusl prior to I he next national eauipaigu, and agree ujam the proper methods for enforcingsnehilemands.

For the low nietit can recall to memory Sunday, the 25th day of May, 18(52, almost three decades, when old Stonewall traveled and had our fearless and stalwart band on the run from Winchester to Williamsport. How that rebel battery got the drop on us when a few miles from Winchester, and what a lelrifying sound'•those scorching shells gave as they came whizzing through the air so near, and what a shower of knapsacks fol lowed about that time, and with what s.ad hearts we parted with photographs, letters and clothing from home as we thing them away and passed on! That forced march was a trying ordeal to the men and some of them are carrying Ihe effect to this day.” What Turns The Hair Gray? At a private gathering in London a lady who supposed herself to present a remarkable vouthful ap pearance said to Douglas Jerrold: ••1 cannot imagine what makes my hair turn gray; i sometimes fancy it must be the essence of rosemary which my maid is in the habit of brushing it. What do you think?” “I should rather be afraid, madam,” said tin- witty dramatist, “ tlu-t it is the essence of time!” The wit in this remark, which has often been repeated, saved it from being nonsensical, since to say that tt person's hair has turned gray by reason of age is to give no • piamUion of the cause or causes producing tlu-change in color. Agi cannot fairly be regarded as even a formal cause of this change, since in Ihe ease of some person, the hail turns gray before they reach maiunty, while others attain the ng< of three .-.core years urn! ten without •ilieralion : n the color.

Look upon the bright side of your condition: then your discontents will disperse. Four not over your losses, but recount your mercies. The best way to boar crosses is to consecrate them all in silence to Hod. Do not wait for extraordinary opportunities for good actions, but make use of common situations. Sometimes the vapors that ascend in the morning comedown in copious showers in the evening, so may it be with thc prayers of Hod’s children. Though the trifier does not chronicle his own vain words and wasted hours, they chronicle them selves. They find their indelible place in that book of rcmciuhruucc with which human hands cannot tamper, and from which no being save one can blot them. They are noted in the memory of Hod. There is on.- furnance that melts all hearts—love; there is one halm that soothes all pain—patience; there is one medicine that cures all ills— time: there is one peace that ends ali strife—death; there is one light that illuminates all darkness—hope; there is one Hod who rules over all blessed forever, w ho is worthy of our loftiest praise. “It is not necessary for a preacher to dip into ‘advanced thought’ in order to show the “coinage of his convictions. The first Baptist preacher that ever lived in the world had no relish of the ‘advanced thought.’ IK believed in ‘'miqucnchublc tire: and solemly warned men to tlee from the wrath to come.’ And did he not show thc courage of his eonvictons when he lost his head for relinking in adulterous king:” The soul in its highest sense is a vast capacity for Hod. It is like a iirions chamlicr added on to being uchamhcr witli elastic and contractile walls, which can be expanded, ’with Hod as its guest, inimitably: lint which without Hod, shrinks and shrivels, until every vestige of tin divine is gone, and Hod’s image is left without Hod's spirit. Nature has her revenge upon neglect as well as upon extravagances. Misuse, with her, is as mortal a sin as abuse. The surest, method of arriving at a know ledge of Hod's eternal pur poses about us is to be found in tin use of the present moment.

The modern missionary move ment began as a thought in the mind of William Carey. It grew loapur- pos", and then to an act. The cli- mate was against it. The w inds of opposition beat upon it. But it was hardy enough to stand the cold. A little sunshine from such men as Andrew Fuller and John Sutcliff was grateful to it, but its chief sup port and sustenance was the sunshine of heaven. Carey believed that it was born of Hod, and lie fostered it under Hod's cure. By and by those who tried at first to cut it down began to rejoice in its growth.

To the Editor of The News and (iourivn I have patiently awaited for some Israelite, possibly more well known than i am iu South Carolina, to come forw ard and issue an upjieul to our fellow Israelites to assist Mr. Eugene II. Levy, of New York, who is preparing the history of the Confederates in the war in answer to tlie outrageous diatribes lately pub lished in the North American Review. 1 would like to offer my services through your columns to my core* ligionists in coll,cling a roster of each person an l family of Israel ites tluil serve-1 iu the Cenfcderate cause iu every capacity—who fought or fell in the discharge of their duty, giving to their country all which their country needed of tln-m. I do not claim for my own famiU any more bravery or patriotism than any other Southern family, were they Christian or Jew, but J do not think that any man need be ashamed of my family record. I had: One brother died from exposure with thc M illington Rangers. One brother killed in battle tit Macon, Ha. One brother-in-law killed at Mis sionary Ridge,Ha. One uncle wounded and burned up at Resaea, Ha. One first cousin killed at the battle of Shiloh. One first cousin killed at Oaiiio Mill, Ya. One first cousin wounded at Mal vern Hill, Yn., and my arm shot to piece at Sharpsliurg, Maryland. My old officers and my Id lieuten ant. S. ('. O; can he*.t testify whether 1 failed to do my whole duty or not. Thanking you for your assistance iu what I consider a just cause. 1 am yours respectfully. A. A. Holdsinith. It's a Fart.
