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. ~mm--9** 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. "do "lT*WeuT 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 forfeit their newly acquired privilege, by reason of inability to remember at the polls the names under which they registered. “1 declare, mother,” said a petted lib tie girl in a pettish little way “’tis too bad mother ! you always send me to bed. when I am not sleepy, nnd make mo get up when I am sleepy.

No white man interfered with them in the slightest degree, nor had ever, the curiosity to sit up and look Ht a negro procession. Some of my hands told me the nest morning (hat they wouldn't take any more guos to their meeting*. Think what might have happened If some drunken vag ab»nd hud jeered and hooted at their motley aul abony crowd. lie would have be«u shot down like a dog, and uo ouo could foretell tin end, or in what pools of blood this pocr sufering town would hare been drenched. 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.” I The great curiosity of New Marlboro, Mass., is the “tipping rock,” which is as largo as a load of hay and weighs about fifty tons, but is so nicely balanced that it can be moved by the hand, and is tven made to vibrate by the wind.— It stands upon a roundtopped hill, where there are no other rocks except the one it rests upon, which is even with the sur face, is balanced upon three points, and I ke a table on an uneven floor, it can be [tipped up till it touches a fourth projeo Inon. , 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 Democrats had come up to their doty in ’o4>, not a gun would have bean fired and no peo ple in this country robbed of all that is dear to an American ciUzen. Three times three for “Hammerely, of Hartford I” 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 y '* rs ' 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. — •Cor. Rural American. -UAri^Crntgo^y,—t,s wverj, ajbuyjgh gen erally pretty cute, are no matsl/ for tbs Ja- Jies. Donity takes as naturally to wit as a lawyor does to aclient’s pocket, book. A law* y«r driving through the town of Worcester, stopped at a cottage to inquire his way. The lady of the bouso told him he must keep on straight for some time, then turn to the right; but she said that she was going to pass the road he must take, and that if he would wait a few moments till she could got her horse ready, she would show him the way. ‘'Veil,’ said he, ‘lal company is better than none; make haste.’ Af.er going on five or six miles, tho gentleratn asked if he had not come to the road talw.— •‘Ob, yes !’’ said she, “we have passed it two or three miles back; but I thought had com pany was bettor than none, to I kept yon along with me.” 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 YOB. 2, SO 24 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 American. 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* put it ou the floor. It would not stop; she put it on the seat; it sounded louder than ever. Finally she carried it out while it played tho “Washingl>*y,” an Ifish jig tune. When your wife begias to scold let her have it out. Put your feet up cozily on th* fender—lounge back iu your chair—-light one of your best cigars, and let the storm rage on. Say nothing, make no answers to. any thing. The New York Herald most emphatically regards the California election “as a rebuk# from the people against this mad and dan gerous radical scheme of universal negro suffrage and negro supremacy, and we may looii t 'r the same protest from ILurigjjUaj,, and New \oik in OJtober aud NovemSor.” To Dial vb Rats i offa state* that, being troubled with rats, he caught one and poured keroslno oil oq it, then let it go. The result was, the rats left I for parts unknown, and have not been heard from sinde. The experiment is worth a trisL Could anything be neater than the ne gro’s reply to s young lady whom he offered to lift over the gutter, and who insisted that she was too heavy ! “Lor, missus,” said he, ‘Tee used to Jilting barrels of sugar.” An old toper was heard the other day t* advise a youug friend to get married, “ be* cause then, my boy, you’ll have somebody to pull off your boots wbeu you come hone* drunk.” * . Eli Kimberly, of Guilford, Connecticut, was kicked by a rooster on Saturday last, and was so badly hurt that he is in danger of lockjaw. The frisky bird hit him with a spur in the knee. The road to ruin is always kept in good repair, and the traveler pays the expense of it. The original Bill Arp killed a deer last week that weighed 200 pounds net. Who can beat Bill 1 A race of one mile Dr one thousand doK lars was run in Cincinnatti on Saturday, between two legless men, whose entire pow ers of locomotion centred in their arms.— The winner made the time in 11 minutes and 15 seconds. An old clergyman once said: “When I come to die, I shall hare my greatest grief, and my greatest joy;—my greatest grief, that I have done so little for the Lord Jesus; and my greatest joy, that the Lord Jesus has done so much for me.’* An editor, in a complimentary notice of a valiant General, was made by the omission of a single letter, to call him m “battle-scared” veteran. The poor mai hastened to mako amends in his next issue by saying that he meant ‘‘battle scarred,” but the compositor put it bot tlc-scarred.’’ — Exchange. That printor knew tho truth, and stuck to it. ‘•To see ourselves as others see us,” would not be half so disagreeable as t«y hare others see us as we really are! “I thought you told me Doctor, that* Smith’s fever bad gone off?” “Oh, yes, but It and Smith went off together..
