the < Ir. nt Lake, ami
the Jeneral name Hu Sz, “ lake
silk." Tho vituoys and slopes of all the hills
are covered with the mulberry, which is cul
tivated with scrupulous attention. Os this
tree there are two kinds, the king and hi.
The former has largo loaves and few berries,
with firm roots, whilo the latter has small
glossy leaves, abundance of fruit and tough
branches.
The Chinese, instead of using both, sepa
rately, combine them by grafting tho iu
upon the king, thus securing a plant with
firmer roots and greater luxuriance. De
cember is generally selected as the proper
month for grafting, and the Chinese say
the graft is full grown the third year. Eaoh
mow, Chineso measure, about the sixth of
an acre, should contain forty plants, which,
aftor tho second year, should produce thirty
catties (40 lbs.) of leaves each, or eight cat
ties of silk per mow, enough to make twenty
pieces of silk cloth.
The leaves to be fed to the worms should
boas fresh and tender as possible, hence
the Chinese practice several modes of treat
ing the plants iu order to secure suckers,
such as transplanting, clipping and pruning,
and manuring heavily. If the stock be old
the sprouts are very numerous, but they
must be clipped off and kept from running
up. A mulberry plantation presents, in the
winter time when bare of leaves, a most
knobbed and singularly unpleasant appear
ance, but in the spring and summer, except
when tho leaves have been stripped, is grate
ful enough—-often completely embowering
the hamlets where a million of tiny jaws are
engaged masticating those milky leaves
which are thereby transmuted into that rust
ling luxury so coveted by the young ladies
of the West.
The silk worm is hatched about the end
of April or first of May in this latitude, a
time, according to the natives who have
their hands full of conflicting interests about
them, that even perplexes heaven —for, say
they, the rice requires the sun, the flax calls
for rain, the silkworm seeks quiet and heat
and the wheat needs cold. Speaking of the
habits, etc., of the worm, it is said to belong
to fire, and dislikes water, hence it eats but
does not drink, and is injured by noise and
dampness. The eggs are always preserved
when the temperature is low, but hatched
when it is warm, and if properly attended
the worms attain,their full growth in twenty
seven days and commence spinning their
cocoon.
The process of feeding is a tedious and
delicate operation and requires no little tact,
gentleness and patience. Hence, even
among this very patient people, bnt few, ex
cept the more patient women, undertake it
with success—men and boys gather the
leaves but the mistress of the family gener
ally attends to the wants of her voracious
guests, who generally occupy the largest ana
best rooms in the house. I have seen them
feeding, (eating) but applied at numerous
establishments before I succeeded. It is
said that they are sensitive to the presence
of strangers, and that a strange voice or
footfall at the door frightens them so seri
ously as greatly to affect and depreciate their
product. Hence the refusal of their other
wise obliging keepers.
They require fresh supplies of leaves five
or six times in twenty-four hours, and are
generally fed three times during the day and
twice at night. While very small the leaves
are cut fine with a knifo and sprinkled over
them as they lie in the large, shallow trays
and baskets; bnt when larger whole leaves
together with the stems on which they grow
are cast in. At the time I looked in upon
them the worms were nearly grown and ate
ravenously. The floor of the room was com
pletely covered with them and trays and bos
kets full were piled np to the ceiling or
slender wooden frames. There could not
have been much less than a million, a n d the
dick of their tiny teeth was very percepti
ble.

Bay father came around the corner, and, im
mediately stepping up to the stranger, shook
his hand warmly, and assisted him to walk
to our house, which was but a little way off.
I could'enjoy uo more play that afternoon,
and when tea-time came I would gladly have
hid myself, for I knew that Ire would be in,
and so tremblingly went into tho sitting
room. To my great joy and relief, the
stranger did not recognize me, but remark
ed pleasantly to my father as he introduced
me : —‘Such a fine boy was surely worth
saving!’
“How the words cut me to the heart! My
father had often told mo the story of a friend
who had plunged into the river to save me
as I was drowning, while an infant, and who,
in consequence of a cold then taken, had
been made a cripple by inflammatory rheu
matism ; and this was the man I had made
a butt of ridicule, and a laughing-stock for
my companions !
“I tell you, boys and girls, I would give
a great deal to have the memory of that
event taken away. If ever you are tempted
as I was, remember that, whilo no good can
come of sport whereby the feelings of others
are wounded, you may be laying up for
yourselves life-long painful recollections.”
A San Francisco school teacher received

The worst case of deafness that we ever
came across outside of an asylum was that
of an old lady who lives across tho street
from the arsenal yard. On the Fourth of
July they fired a salute of 36 guns. The
old lady was observed to start and listen as
the last gun was fired, and then she exclaim
ed, “Come in !”— Exchange.

Mrs. Harriet Howell, relict of the lite
Joseph Howell, local minister of the M. E. Church,
South, died on 10th May, 1870, near Valdosta,
Lowndes eo., Ga., aged 75 year 9.
She was a native of Barnwell District, S. C., had
been twice married, and removed with her late
husband to this county, in 1847, he having shortly
thereafter departed this life, leaving her with sev
eral small children, who have since attained man
hood, and who now rise up and bless her memory,
her only daughter having many years since died in
Sonth Carolina. She east in her lot with the peo
ple of God, more than a half century ago, wa9 a
devoted, pious Christian woman, “whose adorn
ing was that of a meek and quiet spirit,” a lover
and supporter of the M. E. Church, South, who
esteemed it a privilege to entertain its ministers,
who ever received a most hearty welcome to her
hospitable home. She had the enviable reputa
tion of being a peace maker, and lias doubtless re
ceived at the hands of her Lord, the precious bless
ing promised to such. Through her long and
weary pilgrimage, she with patient and cheerful
resignation to the dispensations of Providence,
bore the afflictions, sorrows, cares and trials of
life which fell to her lot. She had been in delicate
and failing health for more than a year prior to
her decease. Two weeks before her death, her
family, believing her death near, surrounded her
bed, when, suddenly reviving, she exclaimed,
, “Call me Lord, why cannot Igo ?” Then repeat
ed various passages from the Psalms with her fa
vorite hymn—“ How happy are they who their Sa
viour obey,” etc., etc., and dwelt particularly and
with emphasis on the words : “T’was a heaven be
low, my Redeemer to know,” adding, “that com
fort is mine.” When her grand daughter remarked
to her, “that is true,” her immediate response
was, “Yes, yes,” after which she bid adieu to all
present, and apparently to “earth’s born care and
sorrow,” observing that “heaven is my home,”
and “I’ll see him when I got there.” She never
theless, continued during the night to repeat por
tions of the Psalms and her favorite hymn, speak
ing no more thereafter, though she lived for two
weeks. Thus has passed from time to eternity,
another of the olden school of Methodists. Who
can estimate the loss of such an one to her church
and the little world in which she lived and moved ?
She rests from her labors. A. J. B.
Benjamin Franklin Petty, jb., son of B. F.
Petty, was bom in Clayton, Ala., Sept. Ist, 1841,
and died April 15th, 1870.
Trained up by a father whose standard of moral
principle and practice was very elevated, he early
imbibed those correct views of conduct which
shaped his character aud life. Intelligent, modest
and quiet, he stood aloof from all association with
those who were depraved and corrupt. He dili
gently gave himself to his commercial pursuits,
and by his promptness and integrity secured the
respect and esteem of ail with whom he had busi
ness relations. He had no taste for the frivolous
pleasures which usually so absorb the young in
social life, and which tend to dissipate and de
prave; but he sought recreation in the bosom of
his father’s family, where intelligence, order and
affection shed their beneficent light, and there in
the cultivation of the domestic virtues, he became
the charm of the home circle, and reaped those en
joyments which tend to refine and pnrify, and
which are the richest and most endearing that
earth can give. During the six months previous
to his death, he was generally confined to his
chamber, and endured the tedium of his long ill
ness quietly and patiently. I visited him regu
larly and held many long and interesting conver-
on those great truths of the gospel, which,
and believed, would give him to be
for an abundant entrance into the
of God. I frequently remarked

riosity to know who it was that he took the
trouble to go to Augnsta to find out. lie remarked
in connection that “Mr. Scruggs is a very intelli
gent man.’’ Our deceased Brother was in his 54th
year. Ido not know that he left any testimony;
for I was not by his bedside when he departed. It
was not necessary, for he had left for our example
years of good deeds and of faith that eould
serve to buoy up any sinking or desponding heart.

child sinking to repose. His journey through the
“valley and shadow” was a safe one. I pray God

Mns. Nancy bLACK, was bom in Surry co., N.
C. In 1823 her parents moved to Ga., where in
1841 she was married to W. H. Black, who sur
vives to monrn her irreparable loss. God blessed
them with six daughters aud one son who is a lo
cal preacher in the M. E. Church, South.
After the war they sought refuge in California,
but God soon removed the loved wife and mother.
She was converted and joined the M. E. Church,
South, at 13 years of age, and has ever since lived
a consistent and devoted Christian. She always
esteemed it a privilege to entertain the ministers
of God, and took great interest in the welfare of
the chuvclt. She was of a calm disposition, not
demonstrative in her feelings, loved and respected
by all who knew her. Her piety was the steady
flow of the gentle river. She bore her sufferings
during a protracted illness of five months with
great patience, never was heard to murmur or
complain. She expressed entire trust and confi
dence in her Saviour; a desire to be fully resigned
to the will of God in all things—whether life or
death—though it was a hard struggle to give up
her family, but grace enabled her to make this to
a mother the hardest sacrifice of all. She was en
tirely rational to the lost—just a few moments be
fore her departure she asked to be raised up in the
bed, her husband then said to her, “my dear, you
will soon be gone! hut our separation will be
short, I will soon join you on the other shore,”
to which she responded, “Yes,” and immediately
expired. J. W. Craig.
Aedesia F. Wyatt, daughter of J. M. C. and
Nancy F. Montgomery, and relict of Elijah Wyatt,
was born in Jackson co., Ga., April 4th, 1799, and
died in Chattooga co., Ga., May 31st, 1870. She
was twice married, first to Samuel Priett, Sept.
10th, 1810, again to Elijah Wyatt, June 9tli, 1831.
She was converted and joined the church before
her first marriage, and lived a consistent Chris
tian, faithful in the discharge of duty and as she had
opportunity in attendance on the means of grace.
Though past her threescore and ten when her
health and the weather would permit she was
faithful to attend the public worship of God, un
til her death. A few weeks before her death she
sent, unsolicited to the writer money for the re
newal of her subscription to the S. C. Advocate.
In its weekly religious feasts her soul delighted.
Her death was very sudden. On the night of 30th
May she retired apparently as well as usual. A
little after midnight she awoke the family of her
son in the mulst of a severe attack of asthma to
which she had been subject for some time. From
this attack she never recovered, but in less than
one hour from the time the family awoke she had
fallen “asleep in Jesus.” Though she gave no dy
ing testimony as to her prospects, yet she had
but a short time before said that she was ready to
go whenever God should call her away. This had
been indeed her usual frame of mind for months if
not years past, and it was her frequent prayer if
God so willed that she might die suddenly. This
readiness to “depart and be with Christ;” togeth
er with almost 60 years of faithful service consti
tute the best commentary on the religion she pro
fessed, aud a rich legacy of instruction and com
fort to her surviving children and friends.

Mrs. Rebecca Ellis, wife of Mr. John Ellis,
and daughter of Mr. Jas and Mrs. Nancy John
son, died May 2d, in Gordon co., Ga., in the 56th
year of her age.
She joined the M. E. Church, when 12 years of
age, professed conversion at the family altar while
her father was conducting family prayer; from
that time till her death she lived a. worthy and
consistent member of the church. The writer
visited her several times during her last illness—
always found her faith strong and her hope of
eternal life bright and comforting. Not long be
fore she died, she was so filled with God that she
exclaimed, “God is with us and I shall soon be in
heaven with Jesus, all is well! all is well!” She
exhorted sinners to come to the Saviour, and
church members to be faithful to their high call
ing. She enjoyed the confidence of all who knew
her as a Christian. The writer witnessed her
death and never saw one more peaceful and happy.
Her afflicted husband and friends sorrow not as
those who have no hope. She is only gone before
them to the better land. T. M. P. Pastor.
Mrs. Ann A. Koger, relict of John Koger, ,wa9
born 23d June, 1788, converted and joined the
Methodist Church 1809, and from that time till her
death, in Colleton co., S. C., May 12th 1870, she
lived a consistent member.
She was a great sufferer for several years previ
ous to her death, but was never heard to murmur.
It was her delight to have the ministers of her
church visit and pray with her. The writer had
known her for many years, and always found her
ready to talk about Jesus and his goodness to her.
She lost her only surviving son about a year ago,
who died triumphantly. From that time till her
death she seemed to decline more rapidly. I en
joyed the privilege of visiting, conversing and
praying with her, a short time before her death. I

found her calm, peaceful and happy, waiting the
Saviour’s summons to take her home to himself.
She passed away as quietly and peacefully as an in
fant falling asleep. She leaves two affectionate
daughters and many friends to mourn their loss,
not however as those who have no hope. In
heaven she waits their coming.

Mbs. Ann B. Beard, relict of John Beard, was
born in Anson co., N. C., and died at Browns
ville, Prairie co., Ark., April 13th, 1870 Jo the 08th
year of her age.
My mother wae rather inclined to shrink from
than to court notoriety, preferring to show her
faith by her Christian walk and godly conversa
tion, ever cautions in word and action that She
might not do violence to the least of God’s crea
tures or his cause which she loved so well. Never
have I heard her use a word that might not
have been fitly spoken in any earthly presence
or complain of her lot in life. I have seen her
bowed low beneath affliction, and I have seen her
rise up from these afflictions and call Him blessed
—showing by her every word and act that she
knew in whom she trusted. Her last illness was
very brief. She did not think that she wonld die,
hence she did not leave auy special declarations of
her acceptance with God, but she left us what is
better still, she left the example of a long and well
■Agent life, about which shone the Christian graces
fullness. E. L. Beard.

Mrs. Elizabeth J. McCown, died in Hogans
ville, Ga , on 6th June, in the 34th year of her age.
She was converted in early life at a protracted
meeting at Mt Zion Church In Jasper co. It is a
source of consolation to her surviving husband
and parents, that she coaid refer distinctly to the
place and hour of her conversion. She gave her
heart to God while sojourning at her aunt's home
at 10 o’clock at night. A letter from her pastor.
Rev. S. M. Smith, indicates that hers was a bright
and happy conversion. At the time of her death
she was a member at Wesley Chapel, Atlanta, and
as far as we learn, lived a consistent Christian life.
She attended ehurch as often as she could—having
a feeble constitution and like ten thousand other
Christians “was glad, when they said unto her let
ns go unto tire house of the Lord.” When death
came it was calm, peaceful, gentle, “as fades a sum
mer cloud away.” While crossing the stream she
exclaimed, “glory ; thank God I am going to rest ”
We mourn, not as those who have no hope.
Henry J. Ellis
Albert Merritt, was born April 11th, 1861
and died May 25th, 1870.
He joined the M. E. Church last summer. His
parents think that his heart was changed a few
weeks thereafter. He was happy. He awoke his
mother at a late hour of the first night afterhe was
taken sick and said lie believed he was going to
die, and wished to go to lieaven and be an angel.
He asked his mother to read 116th Psalm. This
done lie said he wanted to go to the good Lord.
He requested his mother to sing, and went to
sleep. He frequently sang his favorite songs: “I
want to be an angel,” “I want to go where Jesus
is.” He was sick long, and his elder brother Os
car nursed him and prayed for his recovery, and
he was so devoted to him that he said if his brother
died, he wished to die too. God granted hia re
quest and took him to heaven before his brother.

Mrs. Frances C. Keils, relict of GiorgeM.
Kciis, was born Dec. 9th, 1812. In her youth Bhe
joined the Methodist E. Church under the minis
ter of. B««hop Andrew, who was then stationed in
CWdeaton, S. C.
lijthe early part of her Christian life she was a
zealous and faithful Sunday-school teacher; and
some of her scholars, who survive her, speak of
her with great affection as their favorite teacher.
In her latter days, even up to the time of her last
sickness, she was in the habit of taking her grand
children regularly to tho Sabbath-school. Though
mucli reduced in eireumstsnccs after the death of
her husband, she bowed submissively to the will
of God. In her last illness, her sufferings were
intense, but she bore them with Christian patience
and resignation. She died in Charleston, on the
30th May last, in the faith of Christ, and in hope
of heaven. W. P. M.

The following comprise some of the unanswer
able arguments, why every Planter should imme
diately apply for a Policy of Life Insurance:
1. The changes and fluctuations taking place and
liable to occur in commercial affairs.
2. The unreliability of labor.
3. The uncertainty of crops and of prices. •
4. The absence of requisite capital to meet the
Mosses and disappointments which may occur.
5. The certainty of distress which iu most eases
must follow the loss of the head of the family by
death.
6. The certainty of provision for these contin
gencies, which a Life Insurance Policy affords to
every family, in a good compauy.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Company is a
good company, therefore a Policy in the Cotton
States Life Insurance Company is a provision which
will guard your loved ones from waut, or pecuniary
distress in the event of your misfortune, or your
death.
The unprecedented success of this Company is
the best recommendation it can offer, having issued

REV. DR. WILLOUGHBY AND HIS WINE.
12mo, 458 pages. By Mrs. Mary Spring Walker,
author of “Tlie Family Doctor., etc. Price $1.50.
This thrilllngly interesting book depicts In a vivid
manner the terrible influence exerted by those
who stand as the servants of God, and wlio sanc
tion the social custom of wine-drinking. It is fair
and faithful to the truth. It is not a bitter tirade
agniDst tlie church or the ministry. On the con
trary, it plainly and earnestly acknowledges that
the ministry ia tlie friend of mortality and the
great bulwork of practical virtue. It* mission Is
a very useful one. Its object is to prove that the
ministers of tlie Gospel should take part in the
Total Abstinence movement.

Aunt Dinah was an eminent Christian woman.

tion.

It is one of the most effective aud impressive
Temperance books ever published. Tlie evils of
the drinking customs of society, nnd the blessings
of sobriety and total abstinence, are strikingly de
veloped in tlie history of various families in the
communities. Tlie book illustrates the growth of
grace in tlie heart, and shows that
“ Out of the fires of sin and shame,
God is able to garner in.”
THE TEMPERANCE DOCTOR. 13mo, 810 pages.
By Miss Dwinell ClielUs. Price $1.25.
Tliis is a true story, replete with interest, aud
adapted to Sunday-school and family leading. In

that are caused by the use of intoxicating hevera
ges; also the blessings of Temperance, and what
may be accomplished by one earnest sonl for that
reform. It ought to find readers in every house
hold.
