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.

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 A T;x s As tor.
