Too many hours to sow and reap— At last disease and pain ! Weak grows tho never loosened hand ; The strongest rope parts, strand by strand, Beneath a ceaseless strain. Let him who burns hie midnight oil In tho lonely and nnwholsome toil, Think, when he trims his lamp, That thus he trims his life as well, And hasten® toward his last low cell — Its drunkness and its da nip. He who would travel far and long, And keeps a stately stride and strong, Must rest beside the way. A ceaseless pace at first mny win, But he who halts at wayside inn, At last shall win the day. To weary feet all streams are deep, All roads are rough, all hills are steep, As way-worn travelers know. One hour of rest is princelevs boon To him who toils through heats of noon. With painful steps and slow. Then, ye who hope to make your mark Ei e your last night-fall cold and dark, And stand above the throng. On some far, sun-kissed height I thought, Or do some deed no hand hath wrought— Work, rest —and so be strong. —[Lake Mills, Wis. Blackhead, the Vi rate od Colonial Bays. The career of Teach, alias Blackboard, says All the Year Round, throws a cu rious light upon the manner in which his majesty's colonies where then gov erned. Teach went into busiuess at once, and having ‘ cultivated a very good unuerstandig” with Charles Eden, Esq., the-governor of North Carolina— with an excellent prospect of success. His friend, the governor, made no scru ple of convening a court ot vice admir alty at Bath Town, which condemned his captures as lawful nrizes, although he never held a com mission in his lile ‘These proceedings,’ 'adds his biogra pher, ‘show that governors arc but men. Black beard was a typical pirate, possess ed with a mania lor getting married. His friend, the governor, after the manner of the plantation, married him to his fourteenth wife—a young creature of sixteen—whom he treated scandal ously. It is not on record that Black beard like bluebeaid, slew his wives, On the contrary, he had, at the period refen ed to, about a dozen living in va rious places. Obviously he was a man of domestic instincts, modified dy a rov ing life, and liked to have somebody to welcome him home wherever he v\ as. His cognomen of blackbeard was de rived from ‘that large quantity of hail which, like a frightful meteor, covered his whole face, and frightened America more thau any comet that has appeared for a long time. This beard was black which he sufferd to grow fo an ex travagant length ; as to breadth, it came up to his eyes ;he was accustomed to twist it with ribbons in small tails aftei the manner ot our Ramilies wigs and turn them about his ears iin timq ot action lie vsol'ea sling over his shouldets, with three braces of pistols. Ibis was the regular pirate fashion, and its use is obvious. In boarding, the pistol was the favorite weapon of the ravers, who always wore two or three brace in silk sling, hung rather around the neck than over the shoulders- Armed thus, the freebooter was nearly as well off as if he possessed revolver. He bad only to cock and fire, drop one pistol and seize another ready to his hand, without the risk of losing his weapons. This re- liance on the pistol was, doubtless, one reason of the success ot the rovers in close ‘fighting. To add terror to Ins appearance Blackbeard stuck ‘lighted matches under his hat, which, appealing on each side ot his face, his eyes naturally looking fierce and wild, made him al together such a figure that imagination cannot form an idea of a fury from he.l to look more frightful.’ He was a frolick* some fellow, this Capt. Teach, m his grim wav. One day, being at sea, and being a little flushed with drink, he de termined to make a little inferno ‘of his own,’ and to that end went down into the hold, with two or three others, and having filled several pots full ol brimstone, set them on fire, and was proud of having held out the longest against suffocation. Another evening, beinc in a pleasant mood, drinking and playing cards with a tew choice and kindred spirits, he blew out the light, and crossing his hands under the table, fired his pistols, laming one man tor life; and when asked the meaning ot this said 1 ‘lf he did not now and then k 1 one of them, they would forget who he was.’ One eyrie story of Blackbeard and his crew runs thus: ‘Once upon a cruise they found out that they had a man on board more than their crew, such a one was seeu several days among them some times below and some times on deck, ye no man in the ship could give an account ot who he was or from whence he came , but that he disappeared a little before they were cast away in their great shii j but it seems they verily believed it was the devil ” Like many other great bad men, Blackboard did not improve upon acquaintance, and his friends, the pUn tern, at last got tired of his society, lie dress frim the governor of North Caro liw was hopeless, and the governor of Virginia was applied to. This gentleman at once sent Lieut. Maynard with a couple of sloops, to capture the pirate. A desperate fight ensued. After some very hard firing, Blackbeard, after hurl ing on the enemy some ‘newdash oned sort of grenades’ -case bottles failed with powder and slugs-boarded him ; bnt this time met his match, and tell dead, after receiving tweuty-hve wounds fighting like a fury, to. tbe last. Ills bead was out off and swung to the bow sprit of tbe nuwrious sloop. CONYERB, RA„ JUNE >,3:3. 1870. •HiiiHl Up a Homestead. The feeling that you are settled and fixed will induce, you to work to improve your farms, to plant orchards, to set out shade trees, to inelose pastures, to build comfortable outhouses, and each success ive improvement is a bond to bind you still closer to your homes. This will bring contentment in the family. Your wives and daughters will tall in love with the country, your sons will love home better than grog-shops, and prefer farming to measuring tape or profession al loafing, and you will he happy in see ing the contented and cheerful itices of your families. Make your home beanti Ini, convenient and pleasant, and your ebildren will love it above all other pla. ces ; they will leave it with regret, think of it with fondness, come back to it joy fully, seek their chief happiness around their home fireside. Woman and children need more than meal, and bread, and raiment; more than aeres of cotton and eoru spread out all around them. Their love tot - the beauti ful must be satisfied. Their tastes must be cultivated ; their seusibililties humor ed, not shocked. To accomplish this good cod, home must be made lovely, couveniencies multiplied, comforts pro vided, and cheerfulness fostered. There must he both sunshine, and shade, lus cious fruit and fragrant flowers, as well as corn and cotton. The mind and heart as well as the fields must be culv tivated ; and then intelligence and oonr tentment will be the rule instead of to exception. Stick to improve and bo.in tity your homestead, for with tais gmod work comes contentment. A Useless Baby. A couple of days ago a squaw diefl out at Yankee Blade, and the Indians juried her and her infant together, withqjt tak ing any trouble of making a corfcse of the latter. It is a custom of the Piutes and Shoshones to bury the dead : iclber and living child together when th< letter is too young to help itself. In th p in stance they dug a hole, threw life wo man into it and laid the infant oil her breast, covering them with brush- In explanation of tlieir conduct one ofjthein said : ‘Baby no good ; no got milk ;• bimeby heap cry , die pooty soon lany how,’ It would be an impossibility to convince au Indian that lie is doing wrong by thus abandoning a infant as a prey to the coyotes and tear rion birds { it was the custom ot his fathers, and he can see no wrong in it. A white man does not 'ike to interfere in such a case, for to try and rear the child wo’iid be a hopeless task, and no white man would teel justified in dash ing its brains out with a stone. Besides the Indians would teel greatly aggrieved at any interference with this pleasant usage of theirs.—[Austin (Nevada) Re veille. Appearances uYd Beceptivc. Saturday afternoon a Grand river avs - nue grocer found an old.wornout buck skin mitten lying on the cheese-box, and said unto his clerk : ‘Boy, transplant that old dilapidated shred from this grocery to the alley.’ It was transplanted, and hour after the grocer and the clerk had forgotten all about it. Some minds are so consti titled that trifles come and go like shad ows. Along towards night a farmer droped in,eyes wide open aud hair on end, and as he looked swiftly around him he excitedly inquired ! Mil see ad old mi'ten around het'es ? ‘Well, I believe I did. There was one lying around here, and I told Jim to throw it into the alley,’ replied the gro cer. The farmer made for the alley like a shootting-slar, tramped around fer five minutes, aud rushing back into the store called out i ‘That there old mitten had a S2O bill in the peak of it 1’ , ‘No’ ‘Sure's you live it did, and I want it or an other like it 1’ The grocer has been missing since that date. The last seen ot him hs was waltzing around among old juDk dealers and rag-buyers, wearing a sad smile aud claiming to be in search ot an old .mitten valued only as a keepsake from his dead brother’—[Detroit Free Press. ‘Seed His Track,’ The Og’ethorpe Echo says : ‘A cor respondent sends us the following expe rience, given by a negro woman of this county, at one of the colored revivals, recently : Preacher —‘My sister, hab you ebber viewed the Savior in dour trabble ?

It is not to be said that Gen Hancock might be or would be a repetition of our bad fortune, but only that the distaste tor military Presidents that Grant has given, pu aside the claims of all soldiers, however good.— [New York Herald, A Very Bad Boy. A bad hoy thus describes his misdeeds and their punishment in a letter to a of mm : My sister Em has got n feller Who has been coming to see her most every night for some time. Night be fore last just to have a little fun, I went into the parlor, and crawled under the sofa, and waited there till he an’ Em had got settled ;• ami just as he vras asking her it she was witling to become hie dear partner for life, and trust to his strong right arm tor protection and sup port, I gave three red hot Indian wav whoops, and bumped myself up against the bottom of the sofa, and fired off nil old horse pistol that I had borrowed of Sain Johnson, ami my gracious! how that feller jumped up and scooted tor the door ! lie never stopped to get his hat, but went tumbling bead over heels down the door steps. As for Ein, she was just that scared that she sot right down on the fioor, and screeched like blue blazes, till dad and mother came running in, just as they got out of bed, and wanted to know what the matter was. But, Em only yelled louder and pointed under the sofa, till dad got down on his kees, and sa v me there, and pull ed me out the* hm4 leg.

A young man called on his intended the other evening, and while waiting for her to make her appearance he struck up a conversation with his prospective brother-in-law. After a while the boy asked : ‘Does galvanized niggers know much?’ ‘I really can’t say,’ answered the amused young man, aud silence reigned for a few minutes when the boy again resumed : ‘Kin you play chequers with your nose V ‘No, I have not acquired that accom plishments ‘W’ell, you had better learn, you hear me ?‘ ’Why ?, ‘Cause Sis says you do not know as much as a gaivanizd nigger, but your dad bus got lots of stamps, and she will marry you anyhow, and she said when she got aholt of the old man's sugat she was a going to all the Fourth of July pefdeshuns and ice cream gum sucks ; and let you stay home and play checkers with that hollyhog nose of yournJ And when ‘Sis* got her hair, hanged and caiue in, she found ihe parlor de ■gened by all save her brother, who was innocently tying the tails ot two cats to gether and singiug , T want to be an angel.' / 'A Mother’s Secret! LoytW The ni-mhhoijmod.— and L streets (says the VVashington Sunday Herald) was thrown into a state of ex citement yesterday morning by an infu riated middle-aged female clothed in black, with short red hair, and armed with an interesting looking cowhide, with which, with fiendish delight, she cut the air right and left, as she bowled along at leu-kuot speed. Halting in front of a respectable looking house, she attracted the attention of the ininales by throwing a brick against the door. Halt a dozen heads were thrust out of as mauy windows, among them that of a well known young gentleman recently married. The excited woman observed this, secreted her cow hide, and with a saintly smile said : ‘Tom, come down here 1 1 would speak with you a moment.’ Thomas complied with the request, and, accompanied by his blushing young bride, opened the door and confronted his visitor. That ancient institution cleared the frout steps in one bound, caught Tornraey’s left ear in a firm grip, and began to belabor him unmercifully, saying as she did so: ‘You young wretch! You puppy 1 You ungrateful whelp 1 [Whack !j Got married, did you ? Run off from your mother, and manias that ga 1 there, do you?

The newly made bride went into the house, slammed the door, and quiet reigned. A Parable. —A popular preacher re cently quoted the dream of a seer, who s&w a man io great torment in every limb but his righj foot. He asked why wa3 he releafed. ‘This man,’ was the answer, ‘is being punished for his selfish ness and indolence, and was never known to do a good deed, except that he once kicked a turf of fresh grass to a tethered ox, standing in the hotsnn, and for this one act that toot is saved from torment.’ An exchange makes the statement for the good of correspondents, that they need not commence their communica tions, ‘I take my pea in hand,’ as he don’t care whether they write with their toes or with the pen in their month, so 1 they scad the news. How the French Dispose# of Mex ican Robbers. When the French were in Mcx'oo, the stage robberies in the vicinity of Monte rey became almost as frequent as they are getting to be between uerennd King bury. With 1 the practical common sense for which the French are distinguished when they go about killing people, the French general Monterey devised a plan tlmt worked like a charm. lie picked out a half dozen of his smallest Zouaves, and dressed them up as femails, and put them in the stage. Each unprotected female had a short breach-loading car bine concealed under his petilpamts, and they covered their demure faces by veils. Of course, tho robbers surrounded the stage, and the ladies, with an excess of feminine modestv, climbed out of the vehicle, and tell in line with the rest of the passengers, when ot a sudden an epidenec bloke out among those Mexi can patriots, for each lady, on an aver age, destroyed about three of *hem, and the rest lost all taste for female society, and went away disgusted. The ladies returned to town in high glee, but lor a long lime tho Mexican bandits entertained such a lofty venera tion for the gentler sex, that an old bon net and shawl displayed conspicuously in a stage secured it immunity from iu- Wrupliou.—[San Antonia (Tex.)

He de scribes going to see Tom Thftmk, at the Egyptian M*all, in Piccadilly, in April, {846, pit a ticket of admission presented lo him when Ids moans were barely suffi cient to [ rvim> the needs of life, day by day, without a penny over. Tom Thumb's show-rtoom wis opposite Hay - den's studio. Taylor wanted to see Hayden's pasture and lingered about tho door, hoping to get a peep inide, Ho saw a stout, broad-shouldered man talk ing excitedly to the doorkeeper. Ho was about sixty, shabbily dressed, and with a fierce and bitter explosion glauo ed at the crowds hurrying in to see the dwarf. As the ctoor opened to admit llsyden, for it was doubtless Im, Taylor saw two persons inside, and he would not help feeling a Tang of regrot that he did not give np his dinner that day, and add at least one to the fiedtowiug of tho neglected and despairing artist.’ A few days afterwards poor Hayden fell dead by his own hand before hie picture, which few would go to see. while all Loudon was rushing with its shillings to pet Barn urn's monstrosity on the other side of tho hafl. A.— . A Brief Essay on Mules.—The mule is the most unhealthy animal in the world—unhealthy to have around you. He is continually possessed of a year ning desire to strech bimsnlt—especially his hind legs, No man ever sees a mule, when he kicks him. The man is generally seized with obseiiTe vision just at that juncture. We have seen a man gel up after a mule had kicked him—very rarely though—and swear with both hands up lifted that he didn't believe the animal had stiiapd a peg; he looked so imoveable and unconcerned. A mule is a very ‘quick* animal- Great quantities ot that substance lie hidden away beneath his tpe calks. Caution—take our word for this and do not go huutimg around in that vicini ty. . ..

Anew and gigantic seal df the State of California has been designed by a gentleman of that State. It is compos ed of forty-one varieties of wood, al 1 grown in California. The San Francis co Post gives this description of it; ‘The seal i 4 feet and 4 inches high in diam eter, and 12 inches thick. The figure of the goddess Minerva is 2 feet 6 inches high, and the grizzly bear at her leet, carved from Ca'ifornin laurel, is 15 inch es long and inches high. The old ‘forty-nine’ who is digging gold in the foreground, and the landscape represent ing the Golden Gate in the background, are very well curved from woods that harmonize well in color. Tlie obverse of the seal contains a patriotic design, the central figure of which is a gigantic ‘bird of freedom,’ carved from tiega wood in a very artistic manner.’ It will be sent to the Centennial. - ■■ Agriculture is an employment the most worthy of the application ol man ; the most nncieut and the most suitable to; his nature.
