BY W. I.. .TONES.
Kr"iu thi- iir.hi i n ( 'ultiv.itor.
November is the wheat sowino-
month of the cotton States. A little
wheat is tint in before and snnifx
after, but the bulk of the crop is
sown in November. It is held de -
sirable not to sow till after frost, to
circumvent the tiv, and this usually
defers the seeding to the iirst of
November. Land tliar litis hptm
rundown with a long series of cot
ton crons needs the rest afforded bv
a small irrain eroo. and mav he a,i.
vantaeeouslv sown in wheat if there
is more of it than is called for by
the oat cinii. Whprp Hip intpnsivo
system is practiced, the super -
abundant land may be very won
utilized in this way. A half bushel
of seed ner :u-ro is' pnmiHi for nrli.
nary land. Sow the hard v. red

Wheat sowing will close up crop
tarm roads; building and repairing
houses, and putting out fruit and
shade, trees. These things, and
others like them, will furnish abua
daut work for all the good, bright
d i s of winter. These could not be
looked after during the pressure of
working the summer crops; and un
less done dnring the comparative
leisure of winter, will not be done
at all.
It will be remembered that wells
fall in autumn and early winter.
This shows that the amount of
water in the earth is usually least
at those seasons. Springs, there -
fore, can be detected and located
better in that neriod than at anv
other time of the year; and every

to catch the water from springs and

if a hole be dug in an undrained
soil, and water stands in it one

four feet deep, water would stand
in the hole three feet or more from
results the water level should be at
least three feet from the surface, so

Imagine her surprise when I

To my surprise the young woman

It was nothing but a wagon rum

and bewildered at the jumble of con
tusing sounds.
The ticking of the clock', chirp
ing of the canary, or dripping of
water distressed her. and the rustle
of her own silk dress made her start
with fear.
I sent one of the assistants home
with her in a carriage, and he said
that the clatter in the streets so dis
tracted her that he was compelled
to hold her in her seat. About a
week afterward she came in

A True Gentleman.
An old English dramatist calls
.Jesus of Nazareth, "the first true
gentleman that ever breathed."
lie is correct, if the true meaning
oi me name is Dome in mind,
though the remark may at first
seem a light one. The Master was
gentle in everything; in carriage,
temper, aims and desires. He was
mild, calm, quiet and temperate,
He was not hasty, nor overbearing,
nor proud, nor oppressive, nor exor,
bitant. He was not, onlv oiiiet to
fbrffive those who had ininrprl Flim
. but He sought them oat. as iii the
case of Teter, that He might offer
them His forgiveness
Again and aerain He illustrated.
by His acts, His own words to His
disciples: "If, therefore, thou art
: offering thy gift at the altar, and
mere rememberest that thy brother
hath aught against thee, leave there
tliy gilt beiore the altar and go thy
way. First be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come and offer
thv sift."
A story of the Crimeau war may,
perhaps, illustrate these words of
the Master, and also teach us that
the true gentleman is anxious to
forgive an injury.
During the first winter of the
siege the British soldiers suffered
from cold, wet, hunger and disease.
