Ill the snowing nnd blowing,
In the cruel sleet,
Little flowers begin their growing
Far beneath our feet.
Softly taps the Spring, and eheerly,— .
“ Darling me you liere ?”
Till they answer, " We are nearly,
Nearly ready, dear!’*
“ Where is Winter, with his snowing.
Tell us, Spring,” they say ;
Then she answers, “He is going,
Going on his way.
Poor old Winter does not love you—

Soon my birds shall sing above you —
Set you free at last !’’

Senator Benton’s Family-
Baron Boileau, who was sentenced to
imprisonment by a French court for his
connection with the Memphis El Paso
railroad affair, is confined in the Concier-
and her sis. Boileau is at Boulogne. She
gerie. M’me children live through the
generosity of their friends. To many
people of the United States this will con
vey more than a passing interest. Nine
or ten years ago Baron Boileau was a
French consul at New York city, trusted
anti respected by the Government; and
popular and’ accomplished in his inter
course with the people of America. He
married, while consul in New York, Su
san, daughter of Colonel Thomas H. Ben
ton. The marriage was a most happy one.
Baron Boileau was afterward appointed
Minister to Ecuador, and it, was while
performing the functions of his office in
that locality that he was recalled and dis
charged Ivy the French authorities.
During his stay in New York he liad
become involved in railroad schemes, and
had been induced in an evil hour to re
commend in liis capacity as an official
agent of the Government the negotiation
of the Memphis and El Paso railroad
bonds. In this he violated the plain law
of his country. Kigid in all such mat
ters, the French Government carried out
the law to its utmost, and imprisoned
lum. Fremont is a brother in-law of the
Baron, and the same court which tried
and found his connection guilty also sen
tenced the General to serve a term of
years. He made his escape from France,
however, and in the absence of anything
like an extradition treaty will probably
keep it good.
There was once a period in the affairs
of Missouri when Colonel Benton was its
political autocrat. Troubles not a few
have come to those whom he nurtured
and loved. Mrs. Fremont is the wife of
a man who has been declared a felon, be
cause of a speculation which ruined his
brother-in law, bankrupted his family,
aud consigned his wife and children to
charity. Another daughter, Mrs. . \V il-
liam Carey Jones, now a widow residing
in Ban Francisco, California, has felt
almost terribly the misfortune of life,
and though not enduring all the' priva
tions of extreme poverty, is supporting
herself and children on the small wages
paid to her as a teacher in the public
schools.
Anecdote of Webster.
When Daniel Webster had reached the
very topmost height of his fame, after
his great speech in reply to Colonel
Hayne, of South Carolina—the speech
commonly known as his “Constitutional
Speech"*—he paid a visit to Iris old home
in New Hampshire, the neighborhood of
liia boyish years and his first manly
aspirations and . stragglings. A well-
known citizen was liis companion. After
going up the rough mountain roads for
a good long while 'Webster pointed out
the nearness of the old parental roof-tree.
“There,” said he,, “is neighbor"—Jones
we will call him—'“there’s our old neigh
bor Jones. I'll stop and talk with him,
and see if he knows me. So Mr.
Webster got out of the wagra and walk
ed on ahead. Soon he met the old man
Jones, and “passed the time of day, as
they say in good, rural New .England.
Webster walked lazily*, loiteringly along
the read, and finally* turning, said
to the seamed, gnarled, ragged old
fanner:
“Wasn't there a family named Webster
once living near you 1 ? I knew something
of a family of that name said to live in
these parts."
“Why, yes,” said Jones. “Webster,
yes, our old neighbor. He had two
likely boys. Les see—Zeke; and then
there was—what s liis name—Oh, Dan 1
—Dan’I Webster." And then Daniel,
leaning on the fence, engaged in a long
talk with the farmer about the "Webster
family a talk quite unnecessary to
reproduce here. The farmer was very
enthusiastic about Ezekiel. Ezekiel W eb-
ster, it should be remembered, was a young
man of rare promise—of even greater
promise than his famous brother; as we
believe the latter admitted in riper years.
He died when but a young man. The
farmer could not say too much in praise
of Ezekiel, to all of which, of course,
Daniel Webster listened with boundless
satisfaction. Bnt finally the latter said:
“What became of the other brother—
Daniel?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Farmer Jones.
“He went away, and I believe is a kind
of a lawyer down in Boston.”—M. F., in
Golden Age.

Is Db. Livingstone Dead?—Although
the opinion of Dr Moffatt that Dr. Liv
ingstone is still alive, and that the recent
report of his death is consequently un
true, is but an expression of individual
opinion, it is still worthy of serious at
tention. Dr. Moffatt was for many years
a missionary in South Africa, and is as
f-.imiliar as any civilized man can be with
the geography of the country. He thinks
that Dr. Livingstone had not reached the
place where he is said to have died. The
Foreign Office at London also seems to
entertain doubts as to Livingstone’s death
and a few members of the London- Geo
graphical Society have from the first
steadily refused to accept as authentic
the unwelcome intelligence.

Labor-Saving Machinery on the
Farm.
An Essay read before the S'.ate Agricultural end
.Mechanical Society, at the Spring Se-tshin of 1873, by
M. L. Donaldson, Esq., of Greenville.
There is, perhaps, no subject bearing
upon agriculture at this time, wliieh has
stronger claims upon the earnest atten
tion of Southern farmers than that of the
"Comparative Advantages of Labor-sav
ing Machinery and their Adaptability to
Southern Labor and Products.' Only
few years back in the history of Southern
agriculture, this subject was one of minor
importance. The necessity of 'substitu
ing mechanical for human labor was but
little realized, because of the abundance
and sufficiency of the latter, under the
old and established system of labor which
then existed; and the implements of
Southern agriculture have ever been
characterized by their rudeness and sim
plicity, it being generally conceded the
best economy to construct upon each
farm, and in the cheapest manner, all the
implements needed for its cultivation, and
with these inferior implements, and labor
so abundant, the natural tendency was to
extensive superficial culture rather than
thorough high farming. Bnt tlie great
political revolution which lias recently
taken place in the United States, result
ing in tlie complete disruption of tlie old
labor system in the South, lias necessita
ted an entire change in her agricultural
economy, The old and beaten track has
been blockaded and must be abandoned.
A new era has dawned, portending a
steady elevation in tlie scale of agricul
tural science never before known in the
South, and it shall be our aim to offer
some suggestions as to the course to be
adopted and the agency to be employed
which would conduce most successfully
to the attainment of tliis desired end.
There are abundant evidences manifest
throughout the Southern States of a rap
id reaction from the paralyzing effects of
the late war upon agriculture, and as the
scarcity and inefficiency of the present
labor system becomes more obvious,
every channel throqgli which relief may
be hoped for is eagerly explored. There
is a certain feverishness and speculative
tendency apparent among Southern farm
ers coupled with many changes of both
theory and practice, all 5f which gives
indubitable evidence of a great lack some
where in the elements essential to a stable
and increasing prosperity, and as a natu
ral consequence a deep interest is aroused
on the question of immigration, the im
portation of laborers from the old coun
tries to make up tlie deficit in Southern
labor. Whether that is the source from
whence the needed help must come or
not, time alone will reveal. We learn
that during the late war a very similar
state of things existed in tlie Northern
States in point of labor to that existing
in the South since tlie war. Labor be
came very scarce and high, caused by so
many laborers enlisting in the Federal
armies, and since “like causes produce like
effects,” we may draw some conclusions
of profit from their exeperinoe. Did they
apply to Ireland, Germany or China for
laborers to supply the deficiency thus
produced? It seems not.
S. Edwards Todd, of New York, in an
essay on improved farm implements, in
1866, (see Agricultural Report, 1866,
page 226,) says: “Our late civil war
stimulated inventors to bring out improv
ed implements, to enable farmers to do
almost everything in the field and in the
bam with horses, oxen or mules. Had
it not been for efficient farm implements
during that long and bloody war, our
fanners could not have mowed their grass,
gathered their hay, or harvested and
threshed their extensive fields of grain.
As thousands of our young men where
called to the field of mortal combat, it
seemed almost like an interposition of
Divine Providence that inventors were
endowed with sufficient mechanical skill
to constract implements with which
horses could perform the labor of the ab
sent son or father who had gone to de
fend his country, and to fight for his wife
and children. Now the infirm and the
invalid, the lame and the lazy, who could
never plough the fields, harvest the grain
or make the hay of a small farm, can ride
to plough the land, ride wlieD putting in
the seed, ride when scattering their ferti,
lizers, ride when cultivating their grow
ing crop, ride when mowing or harvest
ing, ride when raking, and ride in an easy
seat, and accomplish more hard work in
one hour than could be done in ten a few
years ago, even by laboring with all the
might of a strong man.” These facts,
afford proof so conclusive of tlie advan
tages of laborsaving machinery compared
with the old method of human labor with
hand implements, that further argument
in this connection would be superfluous.
But the question arises, does the labor-
saving machinery which lias wrought
such wonderful and happy results in Nor
thern agriculture, and which so clearly
foretells the ultimate glorious triumph of
mind over matter, apply to Southern la
bor and products? Both reason and
experience respond that it does, so far as
those products are concerned which are
common to the South as well as tlie
North, viz: the cereals, grasses, fruits, &c.
and even greater good is destined to grow
out from the general introduction of
labor-saving machinery adapted to these
products in the South than has already
been realized at the North. In the first
place her farms and fields are not so con
tracted, as is generally the case at the
North, affording a broader area for their
indispensable products for home con
sumption at least, which, unfortunately
for the general welfare of 4he country, is
not tlie case at present. The great mania
for cotton.raising which is so prevalent
everywhere, with the scarcity of labor, has
caused them to be neglected.
The leading and far-seeing agricultur
ists of the South have repeatedly urged
the people to adopt the plan of diversified
husbandly, as an indispensable prerequi
site to future independence and prosper!
ty, but as yet to little or no avail. La
bor-saving machinery is necessarily bound
to effect by actual facts and results that
which precept has thus far failed to ac
complish. The “modus operandi" by
which this all-import&it reformation is
to be brought about we propose now to
consider. We find that the inventive
genius of the present day has not ignored
the demands for improved implements,
bearing upon the production of that most
potent of Southern stable, cotton; but
has produced labor-saving machinery
well adapted to every process connected
w ith it, from the preparation for and the
planting of the seed to its shipment into
market, except that of picking or gather
ing from the field. At this point nature
seems to have sent forth her edict; “thus
far and no farther shalt thou go;" and al
though many attempts have been made to
substitute mechanical for human labor in
this most tedious and laborious task, so
far, as we are able to learn, little or noth
ing has been accomplished towards the
attainment of the desired end, nor can we
conceive hour any machine short of one
possessing every known mechanical
movement, with the addition of brains
and eyfes, can be constructed to material
ly facilitate this work. Under the old
much or more cotton than he could gath-1 The Temptations of Poverty.—Pov
er. Now, if by the aid of labor saving ma- erty lias a fearful strain on a man’s hoii
chinery, he is enabled in one fourth of tlie; esty. The poor man who lives an hon
time to produce as much cotton as he can , est life is entitled to more credit than tin
gather, the remaining three-fourths may : man of wealth. The one is forced to
be devoted to the production of those fight against temptation, which comes to
crops most essential to the comfort of him under the guise of want and neoes
both man and beast, which will conse
quently enable the farmer to keep the
proceeds of his undiminished cotton crop
at home. Thus it is, we think, that tjje
general introduction of labor-saving ma
chinery in the South will prove of most
inestimable advantage; it will necessarily
enforce a diversified industry and afford
opportunity for the development of her
many bnt now latent resources. In the
Southern States, the introduction of
labor-saving machinery has been slow,
nor is it a matter of surprise that such
has been the case when we contemplate
the great clouds of depression and gloom
which pervaded the minds of Southern
agriculturists, as they gazed upon the
shattered ruins of the very foundation
upon which all their hopes for prosperity
were based, and tlie effect upon the la
borers, the bulk which, as is well known,
was .composed of negroes, was no
less marked, but was of an entire
ly opposite nature, producing the wildest
enthusiasm. But time and force of cir
cumstances have, to a large extent, closed
the chasm thus formed between the
owners of the soil and the laborers; and,
as before stated, it is gratifying to notice
that a reaction has taken place, and that
a general tendency towards improvement
is manifest, that will prove eminently
salutary and beneficial. Upon almost
every farm, from the verdant mountain
slopes to the seaboard, may be seen labor-
saving machines of some sort. The in
novation is insidious in its progress, like
all other great changes continually going
on around us, both in nature and art, but
of which we are scarcely aware. For
illustration, behold the tiny spears of
wheat or grass, just peeping though the
soil we see it all the while, but cannot
discover the change that has taken place
from one day to another, yet in a short
space of time appears the golden waiving
grain in all its beauty ready for the har
vest. So it is with the great agricultural
progress of the South. There are those
now living and witnessing the operation
of the magnificent cotton gin, propelled
by steam, turning out from eight to twelve
thousand pounds of cotton per day, who
will tell you that in their boyhood days
t| was customary for the farmer to fill his
own as well as his children’s shoes with
seed cotton, requiring that each one
should finger pick the seed from the lint,
until the shoes were emptied, as their
winter evening's task.
And without going further back we
learn that grain was harvested with the
sickles or reaping hook, by which means
it would be hard to say how little could
be done per day. Compare those prim
itive methods with those of the present
time and note the wonderful change that
has been wrought. Now with a span of
horses and a reaper or mower broad
fields of grain are harvested per day.
In the cultivation of cotton, as before
intimated, there are many labor-saving
machines in use—such as fertilizer dis
tributors, seed planters, sweeps, harrows,
cultivators, Ac., by which one laborer
and horse can cultivate sixty acres as
easily as he could fifteen a few years ago.
Cotton seed planters especially have been
introduced with great profit and saving
of labor. Under the old labor system it
was necessary to have four hands and two
horses employed to make any headway in
planting, to say nothing of the time oc
cupied in rolling seed. Now, as we can
attest from personal experience, one la
borer and horse with seed planter with
out any stoppage to roll or rub seed,
performs as much or more labor in the
same length of time and in a more satis
factory manner. Most of the labor sav
ing machinery used in cotton culture, are
automatic in their character and are,
therefore, best adapted to Southern
labor.
As to the adaptability of labor saving
machinery to Southern labor we think
there can be no question. The brief
history of the negro since his emancipa
tion shows that he is susceptible of a
much higher degree of mental develop
ment than lie has had credit for in the
past.
With proper treatment and patient in
struction he may become a skilful opera
tor of all the labor -saving machinery ne
cessary to place Southern agriciflture,
surrounded as it by so many natural fa
cilities, in a state of prosperity unsurpass
ed by any in the known world.
sity: the other has no motive except greed
or ambition to tempt him from the path
of rectitude. Yet when the poor man
sins against the laws of the land how few
sympathize with him, or seek to shield
him from the penalty incurred. He has
no friends, and the heaviest penalty that
can be inflicted is considered light enough
for liim. When the prison doors close
behind him, hope is shut out forever, for
he knows the pardoning power will nevei
be asked to interfere in liis behalf. But
the rich criminal is looked upon as simply
unfortunate; he is lionized; Justice bows
in his presence, and seems to ask hi
pardon for the unpleasant relations which
it bears toward him. If he is convicted
it is au exceptional case; his sentence is
made as light as possible; his prison lifc-
is lightened by pleasant enjoyment, and
cheerful assurance that his confinement
will be short: and soon he walks forth,
the recipient of executive clemency.

Though you may deem it out of place,
I propose to say a few words on house
keeping. The Lord having seen fit to
remove my wife from earth to heaven
some three years since, I have been en
tirely alone some of the time, and have
been obliged to do all sorts of housc-
ork. This morning, for instance, I got
up about six o’clock, made my fire, put
on my teakettle, fed my horse, milked my
cow, skimmed three pans of milk, got my
breakfast, washed my dishes, read a por
tion of the Bible, offered prayer to the
God of the nations and of individuals,
with thanks for his goodness to all man
kind, especially in giving a Savior to die
for the world's redemption. I then did
my week's washing, and was ready to go
at farming twenty minutes past eight.

W anted—An Organ.
There is more or less anxiety in the
Administration camp, says the Nashville
Banner, on account of the lack of a metro
politan organ. The Washington Republi
can is having a jolly fight with Jennings, of
the New York Times, only the quarreling
is all on one side. The Times replies
never a word. A few weeks ago, it had
an ugly paragraph respecting the pro
prietor of the Republican, and since then
nearly every number of the latter sheet
has “gone for” Jennings with a vim and
persistence worthy of a better cause. It
is rumored that Jones, the chief owner
of the Times, is in trouble because of the
ill feeling the Times has incurred in
Washington, on account of its indepen
dence in regard to the Louisiana muddle,
and its sharp comments on the Cushing
matter. The Custom-house ring with
Cockling as its spokesman, it is said,
have taken up the grievance of the Presi
dent and intend to have a new paper in
New York. There is great dissatisfaction
among faithful Republicans over the fact
that in the commercial emporium of the
Nation, th u re is not a single newspaper
which fully defends the Administration.' -
The Graphic seems to be trying to do it,
bnt it has no political influence, and only
speaks to condemn a man like Mr. Dawes,
or to defend one like Aleck Shepherd.
The Evening Post is too independent to
have friends in the President’s household;
the Tribune is considered worse than the
World, and the criticisms of the Times
of late have given great offence to the
President, to Cockling, to Bailer and
others who are considered strong par
tisans. Weare rather under the impres
sion that the organ-grinding business is
becoming flat, strle and unprofitable,
