Thou Canst not Forget Me.
BY AMELIA f'EMUr.
Thou ennst not forget me, for memory will fling
Her light o’er oblivion :vi ,irk 4i,
And wherever thou roamelt ft aoinethtug- will
clin « , , . ,
To thy bosom, tlmt whispers of me ;
Though the elionls of thy spirit I now may not
sweep,
OF my touch they’ll retain a soft thrill,
Like the low undertone of the mournful voiced
doe , . . ~,
When the wind which lias swept it, is still.
The loyc that is kept in the beauty of trust.
Cannot pass like the foam from the seas, J
Or a mark that the finger bath traced in tta
dust,
When ’tis swept by the breath of ttwfereene;
They toll me, my Jove thou wilt calmly resign,
Yet 1 know e’en while listening to them,
Thou wilt sigh for the heart M Ml
unto thine
Asa rosebud is linked to the stem.
Thou canst riot forget me 1 too long thou fm?
flung
Thy spirit’s soft pinion o’er mine;
Too deep was the promise that round my lips
clung,
As they spftly responded to thine ;
In the hush of the twilight, beneath the Uue
skies,
My presence will mantle thy soul,
And a feeling of softness will rush to thine eyes
Too deep for thy manhood’s control.
Thou may’Bt roam to thine own isle of beauty
and fume,
Far, far from the land of the free ;
Yet, each wind that floats round thee will mur
mur the name
That is softer than music to th«e ;
And when round thee darkly misfortune shall
crowd .ts *4
Tliou’lt think like the beautiful form
Os the rainbow that arclics the thick tempest
cloud,
My love would have brightened th* storm.
Thou canst not forget me—the passion that
dwelt _ |
In the depth of my soul, could not die;
With the memory of all thou hast murmured
and felt, i j
In tliv bosom ’twill slumbering lie ;
Thou mayst turn to another and wish to forget.
But the wish will not bring thee repose,
For ah 1 thou wilt find that the thorn of regret,
. Will be linked with the sweets of the rose.

White Men All Liars. — lt is a
aucholy fact that since the laws of the
State have been amended so as to allow
negroes to appear as witnesses in all cases,
white people have suddenly stopped tel
ling tho truth. Not one wbi'« person
can be found wbo -V“^7 ,tfS 'lie sanctity of
an hesitates to tell a lie.
That this is the ca*e, it is only necessary
to visit the Mayors court, and listen to
niS&j esteemed
cHizertVßichmond appears as a witness,
there will be Haifa dozen negro witnesses
present to swear that he is not telling
the truth. Some of these are profession
witnesses, and are always on hand, ready
to bo called for in any case that may
coinc up. It is very bad that white men
are incapable 6f swearing to the truth in
these latter days !■*— Richmond Examiner.

Whatever you do, do it well. A job
slighted, because it is app ircntly unims
pojtant, leads to habitual neglbdt, so that
mo a degenerate, insensibly, into bad
workmen.
‘‘That is a good rough job,’’ said a
foreman in our hearing, recently, and be
meant that it was a piece of work, not
elegant in itself, but strongly made and
woll put together.
Training the hand and the to do
work well, leads individuals to form cor
rect habits in other respect; a good work
man is, in most cases, a good citizen. —
No one need hope to rise above his press
ent situation who suffers small things to
pass by unimproved, or who neglects,
metaphorically speaking, to pick up a
cent because it is not a dollar.
Some of the wisest law makers, the
best statesmen, the most merciful judges,
the most ingenious mechanics, rose irom
the great masses.
A rival of a certain lawyer sought to
humiliate him publicly by saying : “You
blacked my father’s boots once.’’ Yes,’’
replied the lawyer unabashed, “and I did
it well.’’ And because of his habit of
doing even mean things well, he rose to
greater.
An Important Case Decided. —An
important case has just been decided in
Fauquier county, Virginia. It involved
about one hundred thousand dollars. It
appears that the plaintiff bought a farm
during the war, and was to pay in Con
federate Treasury notes. The rebellion
was put doivn before the payment had
been completed, and the defendant then
refused to make ot'cr the farm. Plaintiff
then brought suit to compel the execution
of the contract. The District Judge sus
tained the defendant, and ordered the an
nulling of the contract. Mosby was one
of the plaintiff’s counsel.
A North Carolina registrar estimates
that at least one-third of the blacks will

Hon. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, in a
recent speech before a mass meeting of
bheks, expressed the following admirable
v'uws on social equality :
“Men make men equal before th« law ; that
is ,bey confer on them equal civil and poli'.i
ca rights ; but they C moot make them of
equal stature, of equal wisdom, or of the
sane color. No more can they make them
soji&ily equal. S »cial equality depends on
aireement. The laws cannot force it. lam
n* man's equal socially, unless he agrees to
tbe equality, No man has a right to de
mand it against my consent; and this role
isuniversal and all pervading among men
Your race is no exception to the rule. The
htnest, industrious and frugal among you do
oit admit to social equality the dishonest,
die and wasteful of your own color, nor do
Ail© people. Social equality is simply a
icalter of private agreement, and is not to
b» controlled by any public law. Whenever
ike blacks desire social equality, and the
whites agree to yield it, we shall hare it, and
not before. It takes two to make a bar
gain, and I risk nothing in saying that Deith
<v whites nor blacks in the South want to
nake this bargain now. I have but one idea
to add. It is this: There will be social equal
ity in the South between the races, quite as
soon as the same thing occurs at the North ;
ior I happen to know that the Southern peo
ple bare a much higher appreciation of the
black man's honor and character than the
Northern people have.”

Plain Talk. — Dining the discussion of
the suffrage question in tho Conneticut Leg
islature, Mr. llimmersly, of Hartford, said :
‘ Sir, the gentleman of Now London has
suggested that Congress may force negro
suffrage up >o us! Hnd lie seems to think wa
may as well have it now as to wail for Con
gress to force it upon us. I would not go
for the change under any threat that Con
gress may make. Let them try it if they
dare. Let them send on their armed cohorts
aud (heir Generals to say to Connecticut,
“You shall have negro suffrage. If we don’t
resist to the death, then, sir, our free institu
lutiona will be lost forever." [Great appJau«e,
which drowned tho speaker’s hammer.j
That’s the way for freemen to talk ! If

The following example of what good farm
ing will accomplish, was recently related by
Dr. Loring, President of the New England
Agricultural Society :
ITe knew a man iu Massackueeats, who,
in 1825, bought twenty acres of lanJ. Ho
has applied to it all the accurate knowledge
that he could get Tuere is no month in the
yenr that something does not bloom on his
farm ; there is something green tbore always
and he lias always something to send to
market. You walk through it and find ev
erything going on as regularly, acccurately
and carefully at the cotton goes through the
loom. lls has managed his affairs vrith
prudence, accuracy and care, and made from
his farm of twenty acres |>250,000 in forty

Good Hams. —After haras have been
smoked, take them down, and thoroughly
rub the flesh pan with molasses, then irame
diawdy apply ground or powdered pepper, by
sprinkling gm as much as will stick to the
molasses, when they must be hung up again
to dry. Ham* treated in this manner will
keep perfectly sweet two or three years.—
this must he done bofore the fly deposits its
“gg, for after that is done, nothing will stop
their ravages. The above has been prac
ticed in our section for twenty years. No
soaking is necessary. One pint of molasses
and oue and a half or two pounds of black
pepper are sufficient for any ordinary family.
Try this plau, if you want good sweet hams.

but she said that she was going to pass the

a few moments till she could got her horse

Cotton in* Texas. The Houston Tele
graph of the 14th ultimo, says : We met a
Braxos planter yesterday who informed us
(tint ho had finished picking out his cotton,
ginned, baled it, and had turned stock into
the cotton field. lie planted eight hundred
acres of cotton, and his entire crop amounted
to six hales. The neighbors of our friend
have done no better than himself. The
worms tells the story. The cotton moth,
which deposits the egg of the cotton worm,
was seen in great number in the prairies, re
mote from any cultivated grounds. The re
peated and nearly complete destruction of
the cotton crop must doubtless lead to aban
donment, for a few years at least of this
cuhivalien in the ooast tier Jot counties. It
is too precarious : a few reptitiona of the
loss would he ruinous to the largest fortunes.
Circumstances may obange in the course of
years—the worm may disappear, the culti
vation may be resumed, but for some years
the lands must either be abandoned or other
crops substituted for cotton. Our low coun
try planters may as well look this fact square
ly in tbe face, and at once prepare to engage
in something besides cotton, lie who de
votes the bulk of his labor again to cotton is
hopelessly helpless.
Kill thb Weed*.—This is the time when
weeds ripen, if left to themselves. A day’s
work nowj if properly directed, may save a
doaen days’ work next season. Clear out
the weeds from the corn and potato fields,
therefore, cost what it will, and it will save
expense at the end ; of all slovenly practi
ces, l»y far too common amongst us, that
of letting the weeds overtop the potato and
ripen, and shed the seeds on the land, is the
worst. You may mark the good and bad
farmer by it as certainly a-s is any other

Care of Cows.
If cows are worried by any cause, as fright
or over exircise, or are in heat, the milk i*
lessened in quantity deteriorated in quality,
and sours much sooner. Unnatural, rou»h
or harsh treatment affects the mental and
physical condition ot ;he cow, and reacts
directly upon the dairyman, by lessening lire
quality and quantity of milk ; consequently,
he should reaUss tint not only humanity,
bat sefi-interest demands that his treatment
of the creatures under his care be marked by
kindness, gentleness, aud consideration for
their comfort. Domestic animals are not
naturally vicious, and if a uniform law of
is observed toward the cow, the
even balance of the animal is preserved, and
sho becomes attached to her milker, and
yields-her milk generously and trustiogly.—-
The cow should be milked by the same milk
er, and at regular intervals, else she become*
restive and impatient, and the process should
be gently, but rapidly'perforraed.— Rural

In Philadelphia, one pleasantj Saturday
evening, an old lady, whose failing eyes de
manded an unusually largo prayer-book,
started for church a little early. Stopping
ou the way to call on a friend, she laid her
prayer-book on the center-table. When th*
bells began to ohime she snatched what sh*
supposed to be her prayer-book and started
for church, Her seat was at the chancel
end of the gallery. The organ ceased play*
ing. The minister said: “The Lord is is
His Holy Temple;; let all the earth keep sileot
before Him." Iu her effort to open her sup*
posed prayer-book she started the *pring of
the music-box which she had taken instead.
It began to play. In her consternation eh*
