"STAB AT MATEE.”
Sad the mother kept, her station
By the cross k tribulation,
While her Son hung there on high ;
Through her cheerless soul bemoaning,
Rent with grief and inly groaning,
Pierced the sword of agony.
Oh, how sad and sorrow-laden
Was that peerless, blessed maiden,
Mother of God’s only Son !
Pangs—none sorer— then swept o’er her,
Anguish tore her, as before her,
Suffering, hung her precious Onel
Who, unmoved by tendercst ieeling,
Could behold her struggling—reeling
’Neath her weight of sorrow sore?
Who could view, unsympathizing,
That fond mother agonizing
With the child her bosom bore ?
For the sins of her own nation,
She beheld him an oblation,
And with scourges bruised and torn ;
Him, once in her bosom lying,
She beheld in torments, dying,
All forsaken and forlorn.
Mother! fountain of affection,
Fiil me with a deep dejection,
That my tears with thine may flow;
Make my heart be ever glowing
With the love to Jesus owing,
That his favor I may know.
Holy mother ! this boon grant thou,
In my heart the wounds implant thou,
Deeply, of the Crucified;
For me wailing, He bore nailing,
Ruthless railing, dread impaling;
So, with me, his pangs divide.
Let my sorrow, true and thorough,
Blend with thine, till my last sorrow,
For His sad life’s fearful close ;
By the cross I’d join thy station,
Freely share thy desolation—
Al l thy sorrons, all thy woes.
Maiden! of all maidens glorious,
May these pleadings be victorious,
Make me to lament with thee;
In my vision, with precision,
Keep my Saviour’s mournful mis.sion,
Wounds, and death and agony
Let His painful wounding smite me,
Let the daily cross delight me,
All for love of thy dear Son ;
Fired with raptures from Thee taken, *
Then I’d stand, that day unshaken,
When the judgment is begun.
Let my Saviour’s cross and passion
Be my stay and preservation,
By the comforts of Ilis grace;
When the grave shall ope its portal,
Grant then to my soul immortal
In God’s Paradise a place !

Because she is something to a-dore.

It was recently announced by an lowa

Boston lias been preserving “ Gen. La

years, and has just found out that it be

The grasshopper has become a burden
in lowa. He settles on the potatoes and
the peas, and even the Lima beans, and
when he has consumed the latter, he de
liberately pulls up the poles and swal
lows them. He eats the rail fences and
barks the trees, and even digests grind
stones and watermelons. He fills the
balmy morning air with “countless mil
lions” of wings, and makes a buzzing
like to a moving army or a lady’s tea
party. The prospect is not encouraging.
AGRICULTURAL.
THE COTTON CEOP.
Reports have been received by the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange to the
10th of August:
Mississippi. —Letters received from for
ty counties. The weather has been less
favorable than last year. The rain caused
the abandonment of some lands. The
plant is reported well formed and boiled.
A few correspondents report damage
from caterpillar. Reports in regard to
the area planted indicate fully as large if
not better than last year.
Louisiana.— The condition of the crops
in this State is about an average, but
picking will be fully two weeks later than
last season, commencing about the 10th
of September. Fifty letters were receiv
ed from thirty parishes. The majority
of our reports complain of excessive
rams, and represent the weather as hav
ing been less favorable than last year.
The plant is generally represented as be
ing well fruited, though we have some
complaints of shedding, The worms are
reported, but they have done little or
no damage. The area under culture is
estimated to be about equal to last sea
son. Most of our • correspondents give
September Ist as the time that picking
will probably commence, or say two
weeks later than last year. The general
condition of the crop is represented as
being good.
Texas. —Fifty one letters were received
from forty-two counties. Most of our
correspondents complain of too much
rain, though the season will compare fa
vorably with last year. The great ma
jority represent the plant well formed and
boiled. A few counties only report dam
age from the army worms, though their
appearance is generallyspoken of through
out the State. The area under culture
at this date shows a marked increase
over last year. The condition is repre
sented as good, though backward, and
picking will not commence until Sep
tember Ist—say three weeks later than
last year.
Aekansas. —Forty-nine letters have
been received from thirty-three counties.
The majority of reports are favorable in
regard to the weather as compared with
last year, and represent that the plant is
well formed and boiled; the same area
is under cultivation as last year. Picking
will not be general before September 20.
The condition is a fair average. There
is no-report of worms.
Tennessee. —Thirty-five reports receiv
ed from twenty-five counties. The ma
jority of reports are favorable in regard
to the weather as compared with last
year, and the plant well formed and boil
ed. The area under culture shows a
marked increase over last year. No
worms reported except in one county.
The condition of the crops is decidedly
promising. Picking will commence
about the middle of September.
Alabama. —We have thirty-two letters
from thirty counties. Most of our cor
respondents represent the weather as
having been propitious and rather more
favorable than last season. The plant is
unanimously represented as fruiting re
markably well by appearance. The army
worm is reported in seventeen counties,
but no damage has been done thus far
except in the county of Marengo. The
area under cultivation is about equal or,
possibly, a better average than last year.
Picking will be general in this State by
the beginning of September—say about
a week later than last year. The indica
tion is generally represented as good
and promising,
Noeth Carolina. —Sixty-one letters re
ceived from forty-five counties. The
weather has been more propitious than
last year; in fact is all that could be de
sired, and the plant is represented as
well formed and boiled. No report of
worms. The area under cultivation is
larger than last year*, and the condition
unanimously reported as promising. The
lias been before tbe American public
OVER THIRTY years. It has never yet
failed to give perfect satisfaction, and has
justly been styled the panacea for all ex
ternal Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Swellings,
Sprains, Bruises, &c., (fee., for Man and
Beast. No family should be a single day
picking will not be general before Sep
tember 15th, against September Ist last
year.
South Carolina. —Twenty-two coun
ties send in thirty-two reports. Weath
er been generally seasonable, as much so
as last year, causing the plant to grow
finely and to boll well. The average
shows some increase over last year.
Neither boll or army worn is reported
in any instance. Picking will probably
commence in the early part of Septem
ber. The general condition is good.
Georgia.— Ninety seven letters have
been received from seventy-eight coun
ties. The weather has been generally
favorable for the growth of the plant
and the improvement noticed in our last
report has been continued—allowing
planters to some extent to regain the de
lay experienced in the Spring. The sea
son is reported as comparing favorably
with last year, with very few exceptions.
The plant, though small, is represented
as fruiting remarkably well. The army
worm has made its appearance in seven
teen counties, but in only limited force
and no damage has been done. The
area under cultivation exceeds that of
last year. The general condition of the
crop is reported as being flattering. On
ly seven of the letters show complaint,
while all others represent the crop as
good, very good, and excellent. Picking
will be general on September Ist, against
August 25th last year.
Florida.— From this State we have re
ceived but three answers to our inqui
ries. They-complain of perpetual rains,
though reporting the plant well formed
and boiled, and the condition of the crop
is equal to last year. Caterpillars made
their appearance throughout this State,
without, however, causing damage. In
regard to the average, views differ frem
no increase compared with last season to
four and five per cent more. Picking
will commence same time as last year—
from the 15tli to the 20tli of August.
AN ADEOIT EEPEQOF.
A presiding elder of the United Breth
ren church was preaching in Minnesota,
and was much annoyed by persons talk
ing and laughing. He paused, looked
at the disturbers and said: “ I am always
afraid to reprove those who misbehave
in church. In the early part of my min
istry I made a great mistake. As I was
preaching, a young man who sat before
me was constantly laughing and almost
continually making uncouth grimaces.
I paused and administered a severe re
buke. After the close of the services,
one of the official members came to me
and said: ‘ Brother, you have made a
great mistake; that young man whom
you reproved is an idiot.’ Since then I
have always been afraid to reprove those
who misbehave in church, lest I should
repeat the mistake and reprove another
idiot.”
During the rest of tlio service, at least,
there was good order.
The recent test of Fire-Proof Safes
by the English Government proved
the superiority of Alum Filling. No
other Safes filled with
Alum and Plaster-of-Paris.

|g|f) HAIR
jI^G^IIBRENEWER.
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes whits!
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create anew growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes,
State Assay er of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealert in Medicines,

and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by
