baUiinfe it in a flood of mellow sun
shine, the picture appears almost
complete. ’Tis a scene of beauty
upon which man has evc-r gazed with
admiration and delight, and with rap
turcbe has seized the pencil and en
deavored to catch aud transfer to the
ctnvas, some faint'gleam of His glo-
rio is model. But as his eye glances
from the work of art to that of na
ture, he realizes how utterly incapable
is man to imitate in the least degree,
the handiwork of the Creator Of all
God’s great and good works, this is
perhaps one of the most sublime,—
one which not only calls forth from
the mind expressions of admiration,
and even of awe, but one which wakes
.up in the soul feelings of devotion
and reverence to that great Being
whose works are so infinitely- perfect,
reminding, it of the wonderfuL truth
that only man’s siuful nature mars the
holiness of eartli.
Bat in contemplating the beauties
of the natural morn, the mind reverts
to that of which the former is*' but; a
type; mid if the first is grand, how
much more so is the mom of life,—
so full indeed of interest and beauty
tbat Infinite Goodness looks down
upon it With an eye of fatherly love.
And who silali paint the mom of
life, ns it dawns upon the childish
brow, bright and joyous, bringing to
the yp.ung heart the warm, genial sun
shine of affection? All bespeaks of
the s.■•.eaehappiness of innocence; no
cloud is there to dim the brightness
oi the present; while the future,—the
inviting,' alluring future, is written in
the golden colors of hope. And lie.
mistakes who says the years of child
hood glide away in thoughtless play,
for often the ringing langli.is bushed,,
the toy thrown aside; and the child’s
face is winpt in earnest thought, as
scenes of future life flit o’er the mind.
He dreams perchance of unalloyed
happiness, of honor, fame, or glory,
when ho shall have attaiued the years
of manhood, anl these may bo flic re
ward of ibe'patieuffoil of youth. He
almost strives to lift the' hidden veil
of time aud there read his de^ti y^
aud-iuow that the" diirliug wish othis'-
heart, the dream of Lis boyhood- will
be realized—thal he will attain that;
distinction to which his course through
life would lead him. His heart leaps
and his eye.kindles as hope whispers
in his willing ear: ‘‘Be patient/ and
all wi.l lie well.”
Oh, unconscious, cliilvl! Dost thou
not know that the morning of life is
the happiest, the most joyous period
of our ..existence? Thou art , looking
looking only on thesuuny side. IList
thou forgotten that ihe day may not
continue bright? Clouds may' arise
and dim the bright suu of tby bright
hopes; they may gather, and grow
darker and darker, until they blot out
every vestige of its brilliance, and all
tby plans of future greatness fade, like
stunner flowers. Storms will arise,
and in tbe midnight gloom of human
woe and misery, thy stricken soul will,
acknowledge iii the bitterness of spir
it, the frailty of man’s hopes. Thy.
lacerated heart-, torn from all that is
dear on earth; bleeding from wounds
inflicted by loved ones, to whom,
when looked too iu this dark hour for
consolation, turn from thee with cold
ness and reproach; ,thy. heart will re
turn to the days of childhood, and
sigh for th.e happy hours of youth.
"When temptations arise and beset
thee, and the dark waves of afflic
tion sweep o’er thy soul, thy wander
ing spirit will once more seek the
Father of Mercy; and leaning again,
on mother’s bosom, the . infant lips
will murmur the words of that almost
forgotten prayer, “Our Father-—”
Besting there, thy aching head will
find relief, and as the balm of heav-
culy peace falls,: n tby humbled soul,
■thou wilt realize how vain and fleet
ing are the works of man.Thow frail
elans and purposes without the
aid of the "aiding Heavenly Spirit.

His smile greater' ttti'B •'«? wor1 ^ ^
happiness, love, honor, fume, of glo
ry. His commending word sweeter to
the ear than the praises and plaudits
of the counties? throngs of earth.
Thy suu will then break through
the clouds of unbelief and mistrust-
and shine with renewed splendor,
bright even as the early mom:
And when evening approaches and
his'light is paling, if thou art resting
oh the Saviour's arm tby sun-vHIl. set,
and thy spirit sink to repose amid
the peace of an eternal hope, there
tti await tho last morn,-—the morn of
the resurrection, wlie'n 'the glorious
Sun of the Kedeemer’s presence will
shine forever on those who, loved and
trusted Him through life.

The places are ready in every kind of

some of the most important points,

more money than he can afford, but
somehow be manages to be there fre
quently.
His employers are watching quietly'
to learn liow he gets so much spend
ing money; they will soon discover a
leak in the money drawer, detect the
dishonest boy, and his place will be
ready for some one who is now getting
ready for it by observing point No. 1,
and being truthful- in all his ways.
Some situation will soon be vacant
because the boys have been poisoned
by reading bad books, sncli as they
.would not dare to shew their fathers,
and wonld be ashamed- to have their
mothers see. ■/ ’
The impure thoughts suggested by
these books will lead to vicious acts;

men and a planter of large experience:
advocating identically the same theory
and authoritatively affirming its per
fect efficiency.
To (he Editor of the Picayune.
Knowing the nervous anxiety of ali
planters about their crops at this sea-
places are son G f the year, and Hie general fear
of the cotton worm, allow me to sug
gest through your piper to all ,of
them that a means of destruction can
be readily applied, shahid Sieve be oe

ly and- somewhat dangerous use of
‘Paris*Green’ and may be relied on
ith quite as much confidence as any
' the poisons, 'i .
It is known that any violent agi
tation of the cotton stalk or leaf on
which the worm is feeding on causes
them to double Up aud spring oil.—
Getting them to the ground when
very young, very many wonld perish
(if nothing more was done), not find
ing- their way' up to the plant again;
but, to make the thing sure, they
should be buried at once. Willi
many other ways for the accomplish
ment of the same purpose, to get - the
worm to the ground, perhaps the sim
plest would be for two men or beys
and horses or mules, keeping one row
of cotton between- them, to ride from
one end of tbe row to the other, each
holding an end of a piece of bagging
or other heavy cloth twenty-five or
thirty feel in length, so that it would,
in a loop behind their homes, be drag
ged over the cotton row between
them. Passing over in that way, they
shonld return along the same row,
thus pulling the stil s in bo'll <T.irjc-
tions, with two good shakings.
To be still more effective, some
small brush baDging dowii across the
pommd-of the-saddle could be made
to tickle the side limbs of each plant.
And, to 'finish the job, should come
right after, the.plowinan with a “buz
zard wing’ or some similar sweep, suf
ficiently wide to clean out the row with
a single furrow and cover- up tbe
worms, by that time all on the
grormd.
To the hames of the gear, on the
animal drawing the plow,v might- -jbe
attached some brush that would- again
shake the side limbs of tbe cotton
stalks immediately ahead of the
sweep. This operation p ei formed
two or three times—or as often as the
worms might appear in numbers—
has proved as effective as any appli&a*
lion of poison, costs no money, and
but little labor, at at a time when the
labor can be conveniently given, and
does much to keep down the grass and

-There are some cheering signs tor
the agriculturists of Georgia. The pa
pers from every part of the State, and
private letters indicate that the cotton
mania is subsiding, and planters have
concluded hereafter to till tbe earth
by the lights of experience and com
mon sense; We at one time feared
that tli y were impervious to the
truth, but the sheriff and starvation
have at last driven them into the path
of wisdom. :
The Grangers have also contibnted
much to this result, and all honor is
due them' tor their patriotic agency in
bringing it abont. They have preacli-
ed.until-it has-at last come to be
heeded - the-grand economic maxim
that no agricultural people ever yet
prospered- who failed to raise their
own food. ; Reports generally repre
sent that two acres of corn and one of
cotton is the rule of. oui- planters for
1874, They will find it to work well,
and have only to stick to it to work
out the complete redemption. When
Georgia, comes--to, produce her own
bread, she will be the richest State in
tbe Union. To say nothing of other.-.r-
ticles of export, on ly think of her keep

The Approaching Transi’.
The army of astronomer's destined
for the observation of-the great tran
sit of Ye’iius is in motion and rapidly
advancing to.the position assigned it.
No astronomic phenomenon of the
con fury has attracted so much atten
tion or-called forth such lavish labor.
Tbe United States, by the confession
of all, has most largely embarked in
this high scientific enterprise, and her
observers will occupy stations the most
difficult of access of least pleasant of
teunre, but mozl promising of rich re
sults, noth in the Northern and South
ern Hemispheres. The prime object
of the transit observation is to deter
mine tbe exact distance of Venus from
the earth, since in the determination
of this distance are wrapped up the
solutions of the several important
logs, and two or three hors g He'

subsisting his family by the capture of.
game and the sale of skins'. In May;
1873. he owned tlrrty thousand head
of cattle, duly Branded, ranging over
tho plains. He has a family, of nine
children, five of whom arc boys. His
eldest child is a girl, nineteen years of
age: She can rope a steer, kill a wolf
with a rifle, or siraijgtea dbg at arm’s

In the mar’s house is a nail-keg

the pantry is a flonr-barrel almost fill

cattle it is for coin, which is damped
on the premises. He will riot takh'
paper money at- any rate,but is alwnys
ready.to sell steers for gold or silver.
His boys are all familiar with guns/

A member of tbe Saginaw county
bar was recently in one of our thri
ving interior towns on professional
business. In the office of the hot 1
he was accosted by a viry agrcable
gent’e n n.- evi-.'e ly of th< genu
drummer, who wanted to Know
where he was from.” The leg-algen-
tloman not exactly relishing the stran
ger’s familiarity, answered shortly,
‘From Detroit” The next question
was, “For what house are yon travel
ling?” “For my own.” “You are!
May I ask your name?”, “Yyu may.”
Pause—enjoyable to the lawyer, era
b.irrassiug to the other. ‘ ‘Well (des
perately), what is yonr name?”—
“Jones.” “Wbat line are y»n in?”
“I don't understand you, sir.” “What
are you selling?” (impatiently). ; —
“Brains.” (cooly). The dri nnner saw
his opportunity, and looking at-the
other from head to foot, he said riow-
ly, “Well, yon appear to carry a very
small line, of samples.” Biackstone
says he owes that dmnfmer one.
