TWO HI/IURES.
BEFORE MARRIAGE.
My Maggie, my beautiful darling.
Come Into my arms, my aweet.
Let me fold yon again to my bosom
So close that l can hear your heart beat.
What! those lUtle fingers leer* sewingf
One's been pricked by the needle 1 see ;
These hands shall be kept free from labor
When once they are given to me.
All mine, little pet, I will shield you
From troubles and *alx>r and care,
I will robe you like some Dairy princess,
And jewels shall gleam in your hair;
Those slippers you gave me are perfect,
* That dressing gown fi:* to aT-*
Py darling, 1 wonder that heaven
Should give *uwb a treasure to imt.
Eight—cine—icn—eleven! my precious,
Time flies so when I am with you.
It seems but a moment I've teen here,
And now, must I say it 7— Adieu !
. 4 „ , . after marriage.
Oh, Meg, you aro heavy—I’u» tired ;
Go sit in the rocker I pray ;
Your weight seems a hundred and ninety
When you pluiup dowu in that sort of way,
You bad better be mending my coat sleeve—
I’ve spoken about it before—
Aud 1 waut to fiuish this novel
And look over those bills Lota the store.
This dressing gown acts like the d—1;
These slippers run down in the he. 1;
Strange, nothing cun ever look dcceut;
I wish you could know how they feel.
What’s this bill from Morgan’s? Why, surely,
It’s not for another new dress?
Look here! I’ll be a bankrupt ere New Year,
Or your store bills will have to grow less.
Eight o'clock! Meg, sew on this button
As soon as you finish that sleeve;
Heigh-ho! I’m so deucudly sleepy,
1'U pile off to bed, I believe.
while the mouutains of Alabama
furnishes an approach to these
sections.
It will thus be seen that the
sections in which those crops arc
grown which I suppose most
Northern uieu desire to cultivate
—for instance, tho small grains,
grasses and fruits—and at the
same time be in a climate uot ex
cessively warm in summer nor ap
proaching that of the North in
winter, with enough of change for
good health and purity of atmos-
herp.but not for discomfort, aie
pher
Viro
coimtry, with the East Tennessee, Norfolk-Blues, until'u climax has!
Virginia and Georgia Railroad run- been reached tips evening which I
uing through it, and the Tennessee ought te.m’ako the whole Ameri- the other dav an<l w
cstern North Carolina, rivet navigable in its centre for c -m ne-mie h u*
Northern Georgia, a over 150 miles; the Middle Tin- was suSbly <
part of Northern South Carolina
und Middle and Eastern Tennes
see and a part of Northern Arkan
sas. Texas has so many railroad
companies puffing her merits that
I need not add my little quota.
In the sections named, auy soil
and climate he may desire can be
gotten by the imigraut, but I
know of no better mode of guid
ing him to them than by stating
the characteristics of the couutry
on the lines of railroads which run
into tho South. First, I will state
that ouly in Alabama und Arkan
sas are there any lands to be taken
by pre-emption or homestead.
Texas has State laws with some
such provisions, but any settler
may rely upon it that all the most
valuable lands have been long ago
taken up by settleis aud specula
tors. In Alabama there arc some
fine timbered uud mineral lands
not yet taken up, as by the law
of Congress they cannot be
bought except for homesteads.
The granitic aud gneissoid soils
and slates of the oldest rocks,
such soils as Westchester county,
all New England Chester and
Berks counties, Pa.; Morris,
Passic, Sussex and Warren coun
ties, N. J.; and Orange, Putnam,
Columbia aud Duchess counties,
Now York, ns a general rule, uot
so rocky, However, arc to be found
in the line of the Richmond and
Atlanta Railroad, all tho route
from Richmond South to Danville,
through North Carolina, Upper
South Carolina and Georgia. The
lino of this road rises from Rich
mond to an average altitude of
800 feet above sea-level iu North
and South Carolina, thence, to full
1,000 in Georgia. It runs through
a strictly Piedmont country, at the
foot of the mountain chuiu. Pass
ing through the same character of
laud and joining the above road at
Wilmingtoh is two weeks ahead I tiA YA,
of Norfolk is seasons, but lauds
are not quite so cheap as beyond
Savannah, where all * truck' strikes
together, though cost of freight
makes up tho difference. The
limestone lauds, the true grass
growing, cattle-raising and dairy-
farming regions of the South fire:
Tlie line of the A. M. and O. R.
R., from the Blue Ridge to Bris
tol ; the whole East ' Tennessee
uessee country, on. the Railroad
from Chattanooga to Nashville; all
north Georgia, with the line of the
Western aud Atlautic Railroad,
from Cartersville to Chattanooga,
forty miles of the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad, the Rome
Railroad, the Selma Railroad and
Dalton Railroad, and the Chero
kee Railroad, West from Carters
ville, all running through it; then,
aliout 100 miles of the Selma,
Rome and Dalton, to Talladega,
iu Alalmma, and the northern part
of Alnltama on the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad. Some of
these lands are held as high as $20
and $30 per acre, some cannot be
bought at any price, others may
be gotten as low as $L0, and some,
perhaps, at $5 per acre. They
are filled with springs of cold,
clear water, more or less limestone.
The true blue grass is native to
the soil, lying in a great valley
between two high plateaus of
mountains. The summer climate
is noted for moderate aud not un
pleasant cooluess. while the high
mountains cuts off the fierce wiu-
ter winds, aud snow lasting for
three days, is a thiiig of wonders.
Heuce, it must in thA future, be a
great dairy region. Aud it will
not the less become as great ns a
manufacturing scctiou, as the best
judges iu England aud America
have pronounced the stores of iron
aud coal bordering on aud in this
great limestone valley as beyond
any reasonable computation.

HIGH A TION TO THE SOUTH.
At the recent meeting of the
American Institute Farmer’s Club,
in Cooper Institute, New York,
Prof. H. E. Coltou rend fhe fol
lowing paper:
In my humble opinion, Mr.
Chairman, the Southern States
offer at this time the most invit
ing field to the intelligent emi
grant of any part of the United
States, and knowing that the at
tention of many is directed there
to, I shall endeavor to so sketch
the soil and climate, the products
and resources, as to furnish a
brief guide to such as are iu search
of a home in that region. In two
of the Southern States, viz.
Georgia and North Carolina, may
be found every variety of soil and
climate and every character of
wild tree or flower , and cultivated
plant of any and every other State
iu the Union. This is owing to
traversing tho same character of for his family, I reckon. How
soil East to West, is that part of many lias lie got in the family ?

from Petersburg to Lynchburg, i mighty cool up here too. I be-

can tell me where the Gove
is?

Well, sakes! I am so glad to
see you’ve got back safe! Gov
ernor, I hearu yoh had money for
the poor folks, and me and my
old mau we had our house blowcd
all over, and my bee-gums all got
smashed to pieces, and all our ap
ple trees got biowed down, and
my darter, she had a nice, new
welcome, and reciprocated its
spirit iu a thoroughly frank and
manly way. Ho was cheered
throughout, and his allusion to the
flag of Eutaw, (which was lifted
and waved as he spoke,) awoke
to he ginned, then we’ll be happy.
