u Weil, Clara, perhaps you aro rbjht.
Do as -you think boBt," said Mr. Grant,
um ho. took- down hib ovorcoat and pre
pared to go out. That was tho way in
* hjeh discussions between Mr. and
Mrti. Grant usually ended, disproving
tho old assertion that a woman will al
ways have tho last word.
Thbj ovoning Mr. Grant had been
longer in reaching that docision than
usual, and it did not soem quite satis
factory to hiui, for ho stood a momont
with his hand on the knob, and then
earae back to his wlfo's chair.
"Well!" she said, somewhat impa
tiently.
"Or course," ho said " you wouldn't
think it was bestunloss sho was ontiro
ly wllliug. Remember, I owe a great
deal to Aunt Margaret."
"Well, I am sure anybody would
say you had repaid her woll."
??My dear," Mr. Grant began, but
she was apparently unwilling to
reopen tho question, and hastened to
say: "I'm sure sho will bo willing,
Kobejft. Don't worry about that.
Leavo It to mo to manage Of course,
there is no hurry."
"Oh, no," ho, said, "no hurry at

" Woll," sho said, with u look of re

" so far, so good. 1 won't say anything

- In her pleasant room across the hall
Aunt Margaret sat in her low rocker
beforo tho grato. Her hands were
busy jtrith hor knitting, but her
thoughts were wandering In the past.
How distinctly she romombored sail
ing bark boats in tbo meadow brook,
playing Robinson Crusoo on its tiny
Island, and hunting tho Spring flowers.
Thon tho happy school days brought a
smile to her lips, and as she recalled the
applo-booB and qulltlngs, tho picnics
and singing-schools, her room seemed
filled with tho prosenco of tho friends
of'hor youth who had shared in those
merry-makings. Again they were
gathered In that very room at her
sister Fanny's wedding, and tho walls
re-echoed with music and laughtor.
Now they hayovanishod. all but
one, thJTone- ~tn airrho world to her
en, and he sitting by her side. Ah,
'that was sixty years ago: or was it
only yosterday ?
Her wedding dross was almost done,
and the preparations for tho wedding
feast wore bogun when Fanny ana
Fanny's husband sickened and died,
leaving two llttlo boys, .Tamos and
Robert and Margaret had said : " Wo
must wait a little, John."
One year, two years passed, and now
John was going West.
"You will go with mo." ho pleaded.
Could sho go and leave her aged
father, her mother strlckon with
Saralysis, and tho llttlo orphan chll
ren r
"No, John, 1 cannot go, but 1 can
not ask youoto wait for mo any longer.
You aro frco. Good-bye, good-byo."
Is that a tear glistening in the fire
light ?
Then came a long, montonous stroteh
of years, broken only by sud events,
tho drowing of James, tho death of
her father and mother, tho nows of
John's marriage. But tho dally labor
was lightened by love, and though tho
joy and hope of youth wore gono, peaco
took their pluco.
Then Robert married, and brought
his wlfo to brighten the old home.
. Vory swoot and goutlo sho was, and
Aunt Margaret wept as if for hor own
daughter when bIio diod a fow years
after. But sho had little time for
tears. There was a baby boy to bo
carod for. How winsome and mis
chievous ho was, and how tho years
which had whitened her hair and
wrinkled hor brow and bent her form
had given him strongth and manli
ness ! How empty tho houso seemed
when he wont away to col lego ?
And then his father had brought
homo another wlfo, and since then?
Ah ! the firo has burned low, and tho
stocking is dohe.
"Good morning, Aunt Margaret;!
> thought I would bring my work and
sit with you for awhile. How pleasant
this room is. It is just such a room as
Mrs. Rogers' library, whoro I visted
last Fall. Hors is all llnished and fur
nished in hard woods ; all that sido of
tho room is lined with book cases,
Her writing desk stands hero, and the
library tablo thero. It is just such a
room as I havo alway planned to havo,
somo time," ami Mrs. Grant chattod on
of other things.
At last sho spoko of tho Home for
tho Aged at Clayton, and said: "I
was tolling Robert tho other day that
I thought you would enjoy it better to
live In an old ladies' homo. Tho ono
at Clayton is very nice. Tho matron
and all tho attendants aro so kind f
am suro you would like it. You could
tako down all of this furniture you
wanted, and your pictures to hang on
tho walls to make it seem homolike.
Of courso it would bo somo exponso,
but Robort Bald ho would bo glad to
moot that."<
Sho had talkod on, kooping hor head
bent over her work. Sho had not soon
tho look of blank amazomont pass ovor
Aunt Margarot's faco, leaving it per
fectly white, but sho hoard a stilled
moan.
M Oh, Aunt Margarot, aro you hav
ing thoso rhoumatio twings again V
Whoro is tho pain this timo ?" sho
asked lightly.
" In my hoart." Bald Aunt Margarot,
making a pitiful attempt to smile.
"Oh, I hope not. Rhoumatism of
tho hoart is vory bad. That is ono
thing I told Robert; at tho homo you
would always havo tho best modical
euro and nursing."
"And then you could havo your li
brary," said Aunt Margaret, slowly.
" Why, yes, perhaps I could, but I
i don't want you to think?"
"No," said Aunt Margarot, "I know
you don't, and I don't want to, but how
can r help it?"
Mrs. Grant madoa numbor of button
holes in silence, then she said:
"Well, what shall I toll Robert?"
"You may toll him I will go whon
evor ho wishes mo to," tho feoblo voico
faltered.
"Vory woll," said Clara, in a ro
lloved tono. "I thought you would
think it was best. Supposo I tell him
the first of April."
" The first of April, why that is noxt
wook ; lot mo stay a littlo longor : just
a few wooks."
"Vory woll," said Mrs. Grant, fold
ing up hor work : " probably tho twon
tioth would bo bettor. Robort has to
go to Clayton thon on businoss. But I
am afraid I havo tirod you with my
long vi-.it : I must go now."
As the door closed behind hor Aunt
Margarot loaned her gray hoad on the
tablo before her and burst into tears.
"To think it should como to this,"
sho sobbed, "that I should bo grudgod
a room to dlo In. Oh, Robort, Robort.'
At last the tears ceased, and lifting
her hoad sho lookod for a long timo
out at tho greoning hills, behind which
for nearly oighty years she had soon
tho sun sotthon, turning sho looked
from tho other at tho white monuments
?'learning through tho troos and mark
ng tho poet whoro so many sho had
loved and cared for restod.
" There Is room for the old woman
there," sho said, bitterly, and tho tears
# tar tod bitterly, but sho kept them back,
and lying down on the lounge fell into a
troubled sleep.
And tho days oaniu and wont, each
bringing nearer tho twentieth. Such
short, sad days, and yet she sought
to hido tboir sadness in her heavy
heart, and busied horself packing and
making preparations for her journey.
Aud Robert was deeoived and thought
she wished to tnake the change; and
when 'Clara's heart reproached her.
she thought of her library and said :
" Sho will soon got used to It and then
she won't mind.
But though she said it over and over
tho morning sho wont away, it was
long beforo sho could forgot tho pa
thetic hopelessness of her last back
ward look.
Whon Robert returned his wife
asked him but fow quostlons; and
whon sho would huvo talked over with
him her plans for furnishing tho li
brary, ho only said: "Do Ba you
think best." And once when she
laughingly aslcod: "Are you not
afruid I will make it cost too much V"
ho sighed and answered: "I am
afraid it has cost too much airoady."
Young James was away at collego,
and when ho heard that Aunt Marga
rot had gono to tho Old Ladies' Home
ho could not understand it. Ho wroto
to her and to his fathor, and neither of
thoir answers satisfied him ; but othor
matter? claimed his attontion. In
Juno ho was graduated with honors,
and a fow weeks after, his murriago
with Elsio Knowlton occurred. Tho
happy couplo took a bridal tour among
tho mountains beforo sottling down
to housekeeping in James' native city.
Thoy plannod thoir return journey
through Clayton and stopped over a
day to visit Aunt Margarot. Eisie had
heard James spoak of hor so often that
sho was quite prepared to love tho
littlo lady who welcomed her so warm
ly. Aunt Margarot wanted to hoar all
their experiences and plans, but James
could get her to say but littlo of hor
self. She enjoyed tho day so much j
that it was hard for her to say good- |
byo when tho time came for them to
leave.
" It seems as if you ought to bo go
ing home with us, auntie," said James.
Thoro was a wistful look in her
oyes, but sho did not trust horself to
spoak.
Thoy woro obliged to wait awhile in
tho rocoption room whoro thoy met
the matron. " Yes," sho said, in
answer to a remark of Elsie's, " this
homo is u great benofit to many an
aged woman. Homo who aro loft in
circumstances of oxtrome destitution
aro supported horo by thoir friends.
A number of our rooms aro endowed
for the uso of tho vory poor who havo
no friend willing or ablo to pay thoir
oxponses. Others aro loft with somo
property but without any family
frionds, and aro glad to pass tho clos
ing years of lifo bore, where thoy ro
coivo tho caro and attontion often
lacking in a boarding houso.
" But thoro is unother class hero
for whom I fcol sorry. Thoro aro old
ladies hero who woro docply attached
to their homes, but whoso children or
grandohildron do not want tho trouble
of caring for them. Thoro is no stig
ma attached to providing for them
as thoro would be in sending them
to tho poor houso. But it is hard to
transplant old people. Of course wo
do all wo can to make thorn happy,
but nothing can make up for tho old,
familiar scenes and faces, nor take
away tho bitterness of tho thought
that thoy were notwantod."
James and Elsio looked grave, but at
that moment their car passed, and tho
conversation was interrupted.
Tho following evening thoy stood
in the library at Fathor Grant's, .look
ing out as Aunt Margarot had so often
dono at tho sunset.
"What a beautiful scone," exclaim
ed Elise, i"and what a beautiful room,"
sho added ; but James answered : "I
had rather see it a? it was whon I wont
away. It was Aunt Margaret's .'oom ;
poor auntie I" and ho sighed.
After a few days they went to house*
keeping iu their own homo, a littlo
farther down tho street. Very busy
and happy thoy woro arranging thoir
furniture, hanging pictures, and de
ciding where many of- tho protty wed
ding gifts should bo placod. At last
, it was all dono but ono room. From
I tho first Elsio had said that her plan
j for that room was a secret, and James
had laughingly declared that she
could not koop a secret two days ; but
it was not until tho morning of the
third day that sho came behind Iiis
chair at tho breakfast tablo and
whispered something in his ear that
mado him catch her in his arms and
kiss hor as ho exclaimed : " Do you
really menu it, Elsio?"
All tho breakfast time thoy discuss
ed hor plan, and James pointed out all
tho objections to it, but Elsio had an
answer for oach one, and at last ho
said as his father had dono, but in a
vory different tono : "Do as you think
best, dear."
A few days after James went to Clay
ton. "When ho camo back late in tho
ovoning Aunt Margarot was with
him. Sho was very tired, and aftor a
warm supper, Elsio took hor oiX to bed.
Thon sho camo back to hear James' ac
count of his day.
" It was all I could do to persuade
her to como," ho said, in conclusion.
"I don't know as I should havo suc
ceeded if you hadn't sent that littlo
note, but that settled it. Aftor sho
had read it, sho leaned back in hor
chair and said, with tho toars running
down hor cheeks: "She wants mo,
sho wants mo. Thank God, I shall dio
in Camden, aftor all.'"
" Die !" said Elsio, wipping her own
eyes, "shomusn'ttalkaboutdyingyot."
Whon it became known that Aunt
Margarot had returned to spend tho
remaining yoarsof hor lifo with James
and Elsio, thoro were many comments.
Robert Grant kissed tho youug woman
fondly, and said : " God bless you, my
daughter," while Iiis wifo doclurod
that it was tho most foolish idea sho
over heard of, and prophesied that
Elsio would soon rogrot it.
But hor prediction was novor verifi
ed, though for livo years Aunt Marga
rot gradually grow moro fooblo, and
needed moro caro, and Elsie was
obliged to givo up many of tho plea
sures of society on her account.
Then tho day camo when sho bont
to catch tho last whisporod words of
blessing. Standing at tho opon grave,
sho seomod to hoar tho words : " As
yo havo dono it unto tho least of thoso,
my brethren, yo havo dono it unto
mo," and returning to hor homo, hal
lowed by precious memories, sho felt
richly repaid forovory sacrifico.
Reversing the Order ok Things.
?A spocial dispatch from Homor,
Ala., says: A case that has puzzled
tho physicians of this community was
was ended today in a singular manner.
About a wook ago an old man named
Weathorow was attacked with a vio

until tho old follow was convulsed with
hysteria. Everything that incdicino
was uapablo of was dono to stop the af

despaired of saving his life. Mothor

Gun in hand sho managed to creep,
without being detected, under tho bod

Tho authorities of Clomsop Collogo
j havo issued a deeply interesting bullo

I which this belongs is Malvaoouo. Okra
I and tho hollyhock arc ombraccd in tho
I same family. Tho word cotton is do
! rived from tho Arabic word koton.
! Skinner, tho etymologist, says cotton
is so called from Its similtudo to tho

Malis cydomis.
An examination into tho history of
tho great materials designed by Provi
donco for human clothing develops tho
romarkablo fact that not ono was as
signed to Europe Asia was liberally
supplied, receiving all?cottou, flax,
the silk worm?audits mountains aro
known to have been tho homo of the
, shoep, which frequently attain the
size of tho fallow deor. Silk was tlrst
mado in China, and tho produco of tho
silk worm was first brought China to
to Constantinople by .two Persian monks
in tho reign of Justinian, A. D. 552.
Flax is indigenous in Egypt and also in
Amorica?(Clavigoro's Moxico, pp. 25,
2<i.) Of the four staple libers used in
cloth making, cotton and tlax aro of
vegetable origin, whilo silk and wool
aro animal products. In this provi
dential assignment, to Africa and
America were given flax and cotton.
Cotton was known to tho ancient
Asiastics and Egyptians, and it is said
to be tho spontaneous production of all
inter-tropical regions. Columbus, Ma
gellan, Drake, Cavendish, Dumpier,
and indeed, nearly all tho early voy
agers and explorers, concur in repre
senting that they saw cotton growing
wild and in great ubundanco in the
West India Islands and on tho conti
nent. Columbus found in St. Salvador,
whero ho first landed, tho women
dressed in "short cotton coats," and
his crew exchanged caps, beads and
other toys for "cotton yarn."
Tho growth and manufacture of cot
ton for many centuries woro confined
exclusively to India. Herodotus, tho
father of history, who lived 445 years
before Christ, writes : "Tho inhabi
tants of that country make their cloth
es of the product of a certain plant,
which, instead of fruit, produces wool
of a finer and better quality than
sheep." Pliny, who lived A. I). 75, in
forms us, "There grows in upper
Egypt, near Arabia, a slirub called gos
sypium, by others xylon, from which
Stulls are made that wo call xylina. It
is small and bears a fruit resembling
the filbort, within a downy wool, which
is spun into thread." The sumu author,
speaking of the production of tho island
of Tylos, In the Persian Gulf, mentions
"Wool-bearing trees that bear a fruit
liko a gourd and " the size of a quince,
which, bursting \\ neu it is ripo, dis
plays a ball of downy wool, from which
are made costly garments, of a fabric
rosombling linen." A late writer has
also observed, that as flax could not bo
successfully grown on tho soil of Ara
bia, and tho climate too hot for tho flue
fleece of sheep, that cotton must havo
been utilized for the purposos of cloth
ing in tho infancy of tho humau race.
Tho Hebrew writers mako no allu
sion to .the wool-bearing shrub. In
Greek and Roman litcraturo only the
slightest notices of it aro to bo found.
This omission seems to bo duo to tho
fact that tho nat ions, bordering upon
tho Mediterranean, wero uttorly unac
quainted with tho populous countries
beyond tho Indus. Virgil, in tho sec
ond Georgic, must beyond all doubt
havo roforrod to the cotton plant when
ho says : " Shall I sing of tho groves
of Ethiopia hoary witli soft wool, and
how tho Soros comb out tho dolicate
fleece from among tho leaves." Prlnco
of tho Latin poets, it was he who was
commissioned by the authorities of his
country to employ his pon In tho inter
est of agriculture, that he might In*
spiro new life and enterprise into the
work of tho husbandman, as woll as en
liven it with tho charms of poetic num
bers. Tho silenco of tho writers of tho
middlo ages, in regard to cotton fa
brics, wnilo describing tho vestmonts
thon In common uso, loavos us to infer
that the cotton manufacturing indus
try was passing through an Interval of
temporary suspension, and that wool
on, linon and silk constituted tho ma
terial from which tho customary cloth
ing of tho people was u.ado during that
period. But Governor Seabrook says,
Noarchus, Alexander's Admiral, de
scended tho Indus .'127 years B. C. and
observed that "Tho Indians woro gar
ments, tho substance whoroof thoy
wero mado growing upon trees;
and this is indeed flax or rather some
thing much whiter and liner thaji flax."
And, " it is certain, howovor, that at
tho timo of tho Ilogira A. I). (122 cotton
cloth was a common material of dross."
Cotton in its wild stato, and ospoc
li'lly In tropical climates, is said to ho
a perennial shrub. Marco Polo, tho
confidential agent of the Tartar con
queror of China, who visited many
countries, "saw cotton growing abun
dantly in Mosul, opposite tho anciont
Ninovah, In Persia, and at Guzzerat,
in which latter place it was producod
from a treo six yards high which boro
twenty years." As cultivated In tho
South, howovcr, it is only an annual
plant.
For four centuries the herbaceous
cotton of India was grown in tho gar
dons of China for tho beauty of its
flowors, boforo receiving any attentlou
for domostlc uses. That great ompiro,
with all its knowledge of tho arts, was
remarkably slow in developing any
progross in tho cultivation of cotton, as
a staplo crop ; whilo its peoplo wore tho
original manufacturers of silk, papor
and sugar; tho first to becomo ac
quainted with the properties of tho
magnot, and tho composition of gun
powder. Nearly a century ago tho
hin du of China that had been devoted
to the production of cotton were ap
propriated to the raising of corn, iu
consequonco of the alarming scarcity
of provisions, by tho supremo author
ity
Of tho two kinds of cotton cultiva
ted in tbo United States tho green seed
or short staple cotton is derived from
tho Herbacoum or Horbaceous cotton,
and Hirsutum or hairy American cot
ton ; tho long staple or black seed cot
ton is derived from the Arboroum or
tree cotton (liarbadonso.)
In 1792 the growth of cotton was lit
tlo known in this country. As a com
mercial urticle it was deemed to bo of
littlo importance. There was a law
against tho importation of cotton from
America. In 1702 tho entiro crop was
138,328 pounds. In 1842, a half century
lator, a wonderful revolution was ac
complished in the cotton husbandry of
tbo Unltod Stated, the crop then
amounting to 785,221,800 pounds?and
almost within the period of another
half century tho yiold of cotton in tho
United States aggregated tho onormou?
amount in round numbers of 7,000,000
of bales with an average woight of 450
pounds por bale.
Cotton is most successfully cultivated
between 30 and 35 dogroos North lati
tude I3ut Govornor Soabrook says in
his "Memoir of the Cotton Plant":
" It is a well authenticated fact that in
1730 as far North as the 30th dogroo
cotton on the 1 garden scale ' was raised
in tho vicinity of, Euton in tho County
of Talbert, on tho' Eastern shore of tho
Chesupouko 13uy. About forty yeurs
afterwards It was cultivated iu St.
Mary's County, Maryland, and in tho
Northern county of Capo May In New
Jersey, also iu Sussex County, Dola
waro."
Tho wonderful discoveries and inven
tions in this country und England iu
tho operations of card spiuning and
weaving cotton?the "Water Frame"
by Arkwright, tho " Spinning Jenny "
by Hargroaves aud tho " Mule Jenny "
by Samuel Crompton, together with
tho Amorican saw gin by Eli Whitney,
gavo birth to tho cotton husbandry of
tho Unitod States.
"Of tho groat divisions of tho'
globe," remarked Mr. Haines, " Europo
was tho last to rccoivo tho cotton man
ufacture, and England was among tho
last to engage in that branch of indus
try. So immonso is tho oxtont of tho
Hritish cotton manufacture at this time
(1835), that tho yarn spun in a year
I would in a singlo thread pass arouud
I tho globe's circumference 203,77t times;
1 it would roach 51 times from tho earth
I to the sun ; and it would encircle tho
i earth's orbit 8i times. The wrought
j fabrics of cotton exported in ono year
would form u girdlo for tho globo, pass
ing eleven times round tho equator."
Tho distaff and spinning wheel havo
havo gonoout of uso, but in their placo
have como tho ponderous machines
I which perform thoir task as if guided
I by thought, and
" With wiry teeth rovolving cards
Holoaso tho tangled knots and smooth
tho raveled tieoco ;
Next moves tho iron band with fingers
line,
Combs tho wide card aud forms the
eternal line."
Somo ono has said that ho who would
know all about cotton must, like Lord
Bacon, take all knowledge for his pro
vince. The influence of the industry
] upon the welfare of mankind is beyond
computation. It affects our habits and
opinions?our laws and legislation. It
creates a vast commerco with wonders
at every stago of its manufacture. It
is marvelous to contemplate tho arts.
Bolenees and financial power involved
in one singlo branch of this industry?
tho art of cotton printing. "Thore
are tho madder and other vegetable
dyos, the brilliant coal dyes, and tho
metallic mixtures to make the dyes
fast; all tho eleuionts which tho chem
ist controls must bo studied in turn?
their produce, collection, preparation,
blending uso and effects. The de
signer searches through all nature for
patterns." Tho skill of tho engraver,
with his tools and copper cylinders, is
brought under tribute. Tho great
staple of tho South, will wo ever utilize
to their highest development tho vast
powers and opportunities involved in
this great sou thorn industry '?
For many of tho historical facts horo
mentioned, tho writer is indebted to
the " Memoir of tho Cotton Plant,"
written by W. H. Seabrook years ago,
who was afterwards Governor of South
Carolina.

sot tho paco for tho famous racers of
tho world of that day, while tho crops
of cotton and corn produced rivalled
tho bestyiolds on tue famed Missis
sippi 1 bottoms.'"
After tho war the " Hampton place"
Eassed into the hands of tho late Col.
i. D. Childs and since his doath has
I boon retained by his sons, W. G. and
L. D. Childs, who foreoveral years cul
tivated it jointly. About six years ago
those gontlomen divided thoir interests
and? tho lands havo sinco been culti
vated separately by them. Capt. Childs
has devoted himself to tho defolop
mont of his part as a hay and stock
farm under the name of "Riversido,"
und tho present condition of the placo
illustrates what can bo dono in farm
ing by tho application of intelligence,
a llborul expenditures of capital, perse
vering onorgy and personal attention.
About 350 acres of tho placo is mea
dow, lying contiguous to the river and
subject to overflow by tho river in its
higher stages. This fact would render
Its cultivation in cotton and corn haz
ardous, but makes the condition most
favorablo for hay culture, and to this
tho intelligent mind of tho proprietor
has devoted it. Tho problems to be
solved wero, first, how to arrest the
destructive olYeets of the river freshets
on the lands itself, which atone point
was threatened with complete isolation
from the rest of the plantation by the
constantly deepening and widening
channels which every succeeding
i freshet cut across it; and second, how
to save the hay after being cut from
being swept away or ruined by the
suddon overflow of tho meadow. Both
these difllculties havo been met, and.
after years of persevering labor and
outlay, may now be regarded as suc
cessfully ovoroomo By planting the
quick growing water willow along tho
j channels mado by tho current when
tho overflow comes a permanent mat*
' tress has boon formed by the growing
j trees which arrests the sand brought
j by the current and deposits it along
: these channels, rapidly tilling them to
I tho original level, in many instances
! these deposits having already reached
livo feet. Thus the inroads of the
river have been effectually checked and
its current made to perform tho work
I of restoration.
Tho other problem, how to savo the
has, hay for sovoral seasons boon fully
solved also and the crop is now har
vested freo from any danger of loss
I from freshets to any appreciable de
gree
Hay making is conducted on tho most
scientific processes and methods, some
of which, the results of observation
and experience, aro peculiar to this
plantation. At the proper stage of
; growth, usually when about two feet
! high, the grass is laid down by mow
j ors of tho most approved make, and
? after being tendered und raked, is
? ready, in sunny weather, in forty-eight
' to sixty hours to be placed under tho
jfheds for curing. Immense sheds have
; been erected in each meadow of capa
city sulllcient to receive tho hay cut
I on that meadow. Under these sheds
j uro racks, in compartments, eonstruct
I ed of light framing timber, tho first
! or lower floor, which is of joists only,
I being raised about ono foot above the
; highest freshet water mark. The hay,
when brought from the field, is lifted
j from the wagons by horse power, con
I veyed by carriers running on steel
1 ways the whole length of tho shed,
I and is dropped in any of the compart
' ments desired. As each is tilled to the
' heigh I of four foot, a flooring of loose
? slats is laid above it, the ends resting
<tn tho framing timber at the sides.
: Upon lid.; another layer of hay Is do
posited and their operation is continu
ed until tho compartments are all
filled to the* root of the shed. By thois
arrangement, as the hay dries and
sett les down in layers a free circula
tion of air i.; secured through tho en
tiro mass under the shed, all surplus
moisture is evaporated and the possi
bilities of mildew or rot efl'ectually
prevented. By these means a hay is
produced which preserves its bright
color and all the nutritive elements of
the glass, and is equal to tho very
best mado anywhere today and far su
perior to the OVOrripenod grass straw
from whi?h all the seed has been
threshed, whioh constitutes the staple
found in our Southern markets and is
sold to consumers under the name of
hay. Indeed, this claim is now so well
established, that to the extent to which
lliis hay oan bo supplied it has taken
the place of Northern and Western hay
in the local market, and is in growing
demand in other portions of the State.
Tho moadowsyiold anaverago of three
cuttings during the season, some sea
sons four being made. The yield per
acre, iT mentioned, would be regarded
by the Eastern or Western hay maker
as incredible. The crop of the River
side meadows this season will bo be
tween 15,000 and 20,000 bales.
The other crops, which at Riverside
are merely subsidiary to the hay c op,
show tho same results of intelligent
cultivation and rich soil. There aro
about seventy aei'OS of corn which is a
marvel to the beholder. The stalks
tower to tho height of twolvo or fifteen
feet, with immense hanging ears of
matured grain, which will requiro a
tall man to reach them and a growth
of fodder so luxuriant, that although
planted live feet between the rows, it
is Impossible to soo beyond a few foot
down the rows. It is estimated that
the yield will reach fifty bushels to the
acre over tho whole Held. A portion of
this crop is grown on land from which
a crop of oats was taken this season
averaging thirty-five bushels per acre.
No manure of any kind was used on
theso crops.
As to the small ora in cotton?
twenty-five acres cultivated by tho
contract hands, six acres per hand,
under the supervisien of the proprio
to", is as line a "patch," perhaps, us
can be seen this side of the Mississippi
to-day. It is five foot between tho rows,
tho stalks averaging six feet high lap
across and aro falling under the weight
of matured bolls, averaging 200 to the
stalk. Fifty bales is at present a safe
estimate of the production of these
twenty-five acres.
Riversido has been favored this sea
son in having tho management of a
thoroughly competent farmer In the
person of Mr.13. 10. Bolton, to whom
much of tho credit is duo for the splen
did condition of Its crops. All the de
tails of the farm show the Intelligent
care and painstaking which are so es
sential to success. All work is syste
matically done, the most approved
labor-saving machinery is used, labor
Is economised and judiciously directed
and controlled and everything come:,
directly under the daily supervision of
Capt. Childs, who gives the same con
stant and careful attention to his farm
interests that a morchant would to his
storo to make It a success.
An object of interest to the visitor ol
Riversido is tho livo stock. A flock Ol
100 line sheep, as many fat hogs and
shouts, a goodly heard of work oxen,
cows and calves, all slock and happy,
and a flno drovo of horses, mules ami
colts, mostly tho product of tho planta
tion, reared at a cost only of such at
tention and subsistenco, as the r<
sources of tho placo easily supplies.

ANSWERED IIIS PRAYER.
A Strange Story from Arkansas?
Floods of Water IVoiu a uioimdic^H
Sky.
Tho town of Walnut Kidgo, Ark., was
still exeited last WCok OVOIJ the recent |
answer that w?s made to a prayer at
a camp meeting near the town. Tho
weather was warm aud tho people
built an arbor in ugrovo and revival
meetings were being held in it. Great
interest had boon manifested and this
fact had added to tho zeal. As the
Uev. Mr. Robinson, a local preacher
of strong lungs, was praying ho asked
tho Lord to bloss them now with rain,
paying:
11 Lord, como down now and pour out
a blessing <>f boido nature upon us, one
of such a nature as we can remember,
one '?hat we can feel certain that it is
from you, and como now."
Hero tho prayer stopped, not because
tho " Amen " wus reached, but because
a flash of lightning came down with a
roar of ten or moro cannons, shatter
ing a huge tree near by, scattering its
branches over tho entire audience,
knocking some senseless wounding
others and frigktnlng all, most of tho
audience bolieving that tho end of tho
world had como. They had scarcely
recovered from tho shock when such a
volume of water came down as almost
to drown them.
This would not seem so peculiar were
it not for the fact that upon tho llu,sh of
lightning uo oloud was visible and stars
! were shining brightly every whero, but
at that moment a small oollln-shaped
! oloud hovered over the audience, and
; from it came tho deluge of water,
j It was a remarkable occurrence, aud,
whether it came in wrath or as a bloss
1 ing, it broke up tho meeting, and but
! a few of those present can be induced
i to go near the ground again. Those
j who have examined the ground think
that not less than fifteen inches of wa
j ter fell, and that in less than five min
utes.
