Nicotine is a distinct property of the tobacco plant, leaves, stalks and 11 . roots, both in green ana ary state and is not generated by and chemical combination of substances caused by heat in the curing process. 2. Besides nicotine, which is a fluid colorless alkaloid acrid, and pungent, tobacco contains a volatile substance, nicotianin, having an empyreutnatic odor, and also a dark resinous extract, having a bitter taste. The properties are poscssed by the plant entire, as also the smoke, and vary in relative proportions according to the type, the dark, rich, gummy type contain ing a greater percentage thereof than the yellow and milder kinds. 3. Tobacco differs greatly from corn and other grains and fruits, in pos sessing but little saccharine matter or other properties such as starch, which is convertible into sugar, which by ermentation produces alcohol. The nicotine in tobacco is unanecteu uy temperature in the curing process, and therefore rematnes unchanged. 4. The chemical laboratory has set tled this question as stated, and ex periments on the farm must decide which type of tobacco and what mode oi culture, curing u.nu uuuagcmcui will produce the staple with the least amount of nicotine. 5. The process of harvesting the leaves of the tobacco plant as they .ripen, uy stringing mem on iwnic or wire preparatory to curing, is not at all new, but was practiced by the plan ters in colonial times, when the bulk of the product was cured without arti ficial heat, . e. dried by sun and air. That this mode has not been adhered to generally since, is evidence rather against it, as the best and cheapest mode of harvesting tobacco. Nor can it be claimed for the product of fields subjected to this mode, as still prac ticed in some ot the States, that it con tains less nicotine than is found in the leaves of plants cut entire by splitting the stalk and curing rapidly by flues Hut it is a fact known to some of the best planters, that the process of curing tobacco by flues developes and fixes in the leaves the greatest amount of sugar, while the diffusion of nico tine from the stalk into the leaves is prevented thereby drying the leaf with the least amount of nicotine or empy reutnatic oil. The nrocess of curiner with slow open wood fires the dark rich gummy export tyie, is promotive of abstract ing the volatile properties of the the plant contained in the stalk by diffu sion into the leaves, consequently caus ing them to hold a larger per centage of nicotine. This is proved by the analysis of "Virginia shipping" leaf, which con tains 4.39 per cent, ot ntcotine while the " bright yellow' ' type contains only 2.70 per cent, thereof. y the process of curing bright to bacco with flues, there is little or no absorption of nicotine from the stalk of whole plants, as by the slow air cur ing or open fire process. This however is the accepted opinion and is not based upon actual experiment. It may be true as claimed by some, that more nicotine is evolved from the stalks of plants cured whole 'and diffused into the leaves, than is to be in the leaves .,..11.1 fmrvi lha cfill-c lh 1 1 1 1 11 , nu icu Ulttn nJlii nix. .nuiiu. stock of Paints and Painters' goods than question is easily settled by analysis, ever before.

It will give me pleasure to have the views of other experienced planters on the subject, whose investigations have eliminated facts corroborative of or antagonistic to those candidly but im perfectly given. It us have the truth and the whole truth about this mutter, that planters may act intelligently and the industry benefited. The man who thinks he has com passed the whole subject of tobacco planting and management of the crop is egregiously mistaken; for there is yet much to be learned, which will, when known, revolutionize this indus try and benefit all engaged therein.

Would I could hold thee thus throughout my life ! When dangers threaten near, protect, de fend ; Tenderly comfort thee in every fear; Love thee and cheer thee to thy journey's end. Too soon the speeding years will give thee strength To reach for lovs in which I have no part ; Another's touch must sooth thy discontent, Another love than mine will fill thine heart. Yet such is mother-love ! I ask no more Than thy full happiness iu all to see ; Unworthy of the great, good name I bear, If thought of self could come 'twixt me and thee. Cut in the golden present thou art mine For me alone thy smile, thy loving kiss ; let separation in the future hide, To hold thy trusting, little hands in bliss ! The Index of a Place. will Writing on a subject which the Gold Leaf has made frequent reference to, but of which it does not claim origi nally, however, the Shelby Aurora very truthfully says: "The hotels and local press are a good index of a place. When a stranger first reaches a village, he forms an opinion of that place from his hotel surroundings, while the press is regarded abroad as an illustration of the progress and in telligence of a community. A dead newspaper is usually found in a dilap- itated town, and a live, progressive town, gives support ana encourage ment to an enterprising press. A newspaper is more than a private enter prise, for it is a public teacher, a dis seminator of local news and a motive power in the development and pros perity of a country. . Then it becomes the duty of every true citizen to help build up and support his county paper and take an interest in its welfare. If the citizens were to pay promptly for their local paper and aid the editor with cash instead of censure, then would our country press rejoice in prosperity. If you wish a good paper, pay cash to the editor and do not ask him to carry you on his credit for two years. It requires omnipotent cash to run a newspajer, and it is incumbent upon you to patronize and pay cash for it." The Two Harvests A New Poem. I SHALL CONTINUE To Improve My DRUG STOCK until it is second to nono South of Rich tnond. My stock of CIGARS, CIGARETTES and TOBACCO Is Complete. WiIson Mirror. I wish every wife and mother in the world to read this picture of a ruined life and a shattered dream, and then guard themselves against a wreck that is mine. I am now a married woman. I was once a loved and worshiped wife, but alas, how sad, how wretched is now the change. Then, I had a happy, joyous, loving husband, and life rolled along most beautifully, for in the radiant sunlight of luminous love-beams, everything was bright and radiant, and wore a countenance as lustrous as gleamings from the celestial scenes above. Children came like blessings from Heaven, and drew our heart-strings closer and nearer and tighter and more sweetly together, and in the dulcet melodyol their raptur ous beatings we heard a blissful and ecstatic enchantment, a music as per fect in its rythm and as mellifluent in its flowincs as the strains that come rippling forth from an angel's lute in Heaven. And thus life passed with out a single note of discord to mar its blessed tarmonv, and without one snag of evil to ripple its placid flow. No dregs of impurity muddled its stainless current, which mirrored lortri and reflected back in all its soilless beauty and spotless radiance the bril liantly beaming and lovingly bending heaven above it. Yes, our earth life was a photograph of that sweet and perfect estate known only to beings in sinless Paradise. But alas, how changed is that once beautiful picture. Over this Heaven loved scene of sweet est bliss the serpent dragged its poison ous trail, and the fairest flowers ot peace and happiness that ever bloomed in an earthly Eden faded and perished and died under the slimy touch of his deadly fangs. Yes, the devil sent an emissary of evil that entered our happy home, and before I was aware of it the hallowed altar of affection and the blessed shrine of devotion, around which we had been so fondly worship ing, crumbled into ruins, and Crushed as it fell all the hopes and all the dreams that once made life so bright and beautiful. Yes, with my own con- oclastic hand I pulled down the glo rious temple of- happiness which love had so grandly and so beautilully erected upon the solid foundation of perfect faith and confidence. Yes, Sampson like, I pulkd down the tem ple, and perished in its ruins, for I i stand now before the world a poor and miserable wreck of what was once a bright and beautiful existence. But let me tell the sorrow draped story of a blasted life, and -point out the step which led me to my ruin. It is writ ten in the heart drops of blackest an guish, and punctuated with the soul ushered sighs of bitterest remorse. Sometime ago a youn man became a frequent visitor'at our home. I soon became free and intimate with him. He tokl me he thought more of mc than any one else, and showered upon me the tenderest attentions. We would take strolls together, and hunted for wild flowers, not once dreaming that I was opening wider and wider the doors of suspicion, and through which was destined to enter the foul mouthed demon of vilest accusation a demon that was to dethrone me in the blessed home where filled with stones and thorns and thistles and nettles against which my naked and bleeding feet would strike at every step I took, j My husband, who was once so bright and happy, was now sullen, morose, gloomy and depressed. Home had lost its sunlight. He found not the flowers of peace and sweet content that once bloomed so beautifully along the blessed walks of home's delightful shade. He heard not the exquisite music that once came trilling forth in such soothing roundelays in the bird like notes of love's own entrancing minstrely of pure and fond endear ment. No ! No ! No ! For him all these things had changed, for faith and hope alike, were dead. I arose one morning, and the worst had come. My husband was gone. A letter, written in a trembling hand, told of the terrible struggle, the painful resolution, the awful step that would make me desolate forever. As I read it the birds were singing in the trees as merrily as ever, the sunbeams were falling as beautifully as they did one year before, the flowers were shedding their fragrance as sweetly as they did in that joyous Spring when love first bloomed for us, and sweetened our own existence. But alas, poor me, for 1 V . 1 " me, the wreckea ana ruineu, tne music of the birds was like a dirge of death, the sunbeams seemed a pall of direst gloom, and the perfume of the flowers was but tnose saaiy signing ouors, ABOUT FARMING. SPEECH OF MR. JAMES H. EN NISS AT MT. HOLLY. Some Practical Talk from a Practical Man that Farmers Would do well to Consider. Wilmington Srar.J Our friend James H. Enniss, Esq., editor of the North Carolina Farmer, and a man of ideas and convictions, delivered an agricultural address at the Mt. Holly Encampment. We have received a copy. The. subject dis cussed was the " Importance of Econ omy on the Farm." Mr. Enniss for more than twelve years has been con ducting an agricultural monthly. His range of reading in that department is wide. His actual experience as a farmer is also considerable. But ob servation is often an excellent teacher and many a man with open eyes sees better where the " leaks" are than the man who holds the quart measure to the spigot. Some persons "pooh-pooh" at the idea of any man's being able to make a good suggestion to a farmer unless he too is a tiller of the soil. Some of the very best farmers we have known, were in a certain sense am-iteur farmers. We heard an old, gray headed farmer of sound under standing, say once that u he had known twenty-five vears earlier the methods of the leading merchant near .J . 0 I i.: ...o- i,it lu ,.r , frm tlif nilkp S U1U1 WUU WU HU "I ri.-, ui "v wnm nf the dend.

No man can follow such a course and prosjier. A double crop could not improve the condition of such a man.' He next discusses, "What to do with Dead Farmers." We regret that our space docs not allow us to copy from him at length. Among other things discussed are Successful busi ness man an economist," and "Econ omy on the farm." He points out at length the many losses sustained by bad management, among them loss of animals, of sheep, in fencing land, and in paying excessive interest. His last point is The possibilities of agricul ture." He says: " In the words of Mr. Jefferson. Let the farmer forever more be hon ored in his calling, for'they who lalwr in the earth arc the chosen people of God." There is an old couplet, the author of which is not known to us.
