Mixed Farming.

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

‘■Young Man, ton Mill Do.’’
A young man was recently gradua
ted from a scientific school. 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 he world s press is
setting forth the objects of the St.
l/iuis convention.
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

• of producers in this broad land is in
vited to send delegates and partici-
o-ite in its-deli! era! ion-. 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.

The best way to boar crosses is to

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

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

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

which without Hod, shrinks and

has her revenge upon neglect as well
as upon extravagances. Misuse, with
her, is as mortal a sin as abuse.

ment began as a thought in the mind
of William Carey. It grew loapur-

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
