bout .he darkie. All is silent as the
grave. 1 he G. 1). TJ. S. C. M.JP. breaks
the snell by addressing the noviciat e
tii us:
I. For what purpose are you here?
Answer. To worship the niggers.
II. Who are the niggers ?-
The supetior race of mankind. The
most exalted, wise and beautiful people
of the eat tli.
III. For what was this world made?
For niggers.
IY. Can you give me the origin of
the beautiful race ?
Thev had no beginning—existed irom
the language:)
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
Two brown heads with laughing curl?.
Red lips shutting over pearl?,
Bare feet white, and wet with dew,
Two eyes black mid two eyes blue,
Little girl and boy were they.
K.ittie Lee and AVillie Gray.
Thev were standing where a brook,
Bending like a shepherd’s crook.
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks,
Of green willow fringed its banks :
Half in thought end half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray,
They had cheeks like cherries red ;
He was taller—most a head ;
She, with arms like wreaths of snow,
Swung a basket to and Iro,
As she loitered, half in play,
Chattering to AViilic Gray.
“Pretty Katie," Willie said,—
And there came a flash of red
Through the brownness of his cheek—
I! Boys are strong and girls are weak,
And I’ll carry,'so I will,
Kattie’s basket up the hill.”
Katie answered with a laugh,
“ You shall carry only half;”
And then tossing back her curls,
“ Boys are weak as « ell as girls.”
Do you think that Kattie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed ?
Men are only hoys grown tall:
Hearts don’t change much, after all;
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray
Stood again beside the brook.
Bending like a shepherd'3 crook,—
Is it strange that Willie said—
While again a dash of red
Crossed the browness of his check—
“1 am strong and you are weak:
Life is but a slippery steep
Hung with shadows cold aud deep
“ Will you trust me, Katie dear—
Walk beside me without tear?
May I carry, if I will,
All your burdens up the hill?”
And she answered with a laugh,
“> r o, but you may carry halt.”
Close beside the little broOk,
BendingHike a shepherd’s crook,
AA'ashing with its silver bauds,
Late and early at the sands,
Is a cottage where to-day
Katie lives with Willie Gray.
In a porch she sits, and lo !
Swings a basket to and fro—
A'astly different from the one
That she swung in years agone;
This is long and deep and wide,
And has—rockers at the side !
Hard of Hearing.
A LOVE STORY.
A you’.ig Jonathan once courted the
daughter of an old man that lived down
East, who professed to he deficient in
hearing—hut, forsooth, was more capa
cious than limited in hearing, as the
sequel will tend to show.
it was a stormy night in the ides of
March, if I mistake not, when iightnin
honey 1 What in the mischief-can I do ( Tlvey tell the negro he must go to work
with so much honey? Why, its more ^immediately. He must make contracts
than all this neighborhood has use for.’
Jonathan who was not yet the victim
of despair, put his mouth on the old man’s
ear, and bawled out—
“ I have got gold.”
To this the old man replied—— 1 “ So fcare ^agents out and talk to them. Speak to
I, Jonathan ; and it’s the worse cold I
j ever had in my life.”
i So saying the old man sneezed, wash-
up. -
By this time the old lady came out,
; and having observed Jonathan’s unfortu-
i nate luck, she put her mouth to the old
i man’s ear aud screamed like a wouuded
| Zeno—
“ Daddy ! I say, Daddy, you don’t un-
I derstand him. He wants to marry our
I daughter.”
j Old Man.—“ I told him my calf-halter
I was gone.”
| Old Lady.—“ Why, Baddy, you can’t
understand; he’s got gold; he’s rich.”
Old man.—“ lie s got a cold and the
itch, ch ? What’s the rascal doing here
with the itch, eh ?”
So saying, the old man aimed a blow at
Jonathan’s head with his walking-staff;
happily for Jonathan, he dodged it. Xor
d>d the rage of our hero stop at this, but
with an angry countenance he made after
Jonathan, who took to heels; nor did
Jonathan’s luck stop here. lie had not
gone out of the barn-yard, nor far from
the old man, who run him a close race,
ere Jonathan stubbed liis toe and fell to
the ground, and before the old man could
take up he stumbled over hitu. Jouathan
sprung to his heels, aud with the speed of
John Gilpin, cleared himself. And poor
Sally ! she died a nun. Never had a hus-
baud.

answered tlinnder, that Jonathan sat by
the old man’s fireside discussing with the

North Carolina Witness.
They have a queer specimen of human
nature in North Carolina. Everybody
remembers the celebrated 4 Cousin Sally
Dillard case,’ and here is one recently re
ported, which is not far behind. The
writer gives it under the head of ‘legal
proceedings’ :
Action for work and labor done in cut
ting a ditch on defendant’s land. Plea :
Payment and set off, in bacon and corn
meal.
Plaintiff’s son on the stand—recollects
the ditcliing perfectly, but seems to forget
all about the bacon.
“ You say your daddy did all this ditch
ing? Do you know what he got for it ?”
inquired Col. C. for defendant.
“ lie never got nothing, as I ever heard
on, that’s what he never got,” answered
the witness.
‘ Didn’t your daddy get corn and bacon
from defendant in paying for ditching?”
‘‘Never heard of his getting no corn or
bacon.’
“ What did your daddy and his family
live on last summer ?”
“ Tittles, mostly.”
“ What sort of victuals ?”
“ Well meat and bread, and some whis
key.”
“ Where did he get that meat and
bread ?”
Well, first from one, and then from
the other.”
“ Didn’t he get some of it from defen
dant ?”
“ lie mought.’
“I krow that he mought, but did he?
That’s the question.”
“ Well, he mought, and then again, you
know, he moughtn’t.”
With considerable excitement, and in
tones of thunder:
“ Answer the question, and no more of
this trifling with your oath. Did your
daddy, or did he not get corn and bacon
from the defendant, for ditching?”
“ Well, now, he mought; it didn’t occur
edzactly, you know.”
Here his honor interferes, and with a
stern, judicial frown, addresses the wit
ness thus :
“ Witness, you must answer the ques
tion, or the Court will be compelled to
you s:.y yes or no?”
white men in that style, and they would
tell you to dry up and go to work -your-
,sclf. Put him out—put him out. Be
it known to all concerned that all men are
created equal, especially the freedman.
Let’s have no more of this baby talk io
men it is impertinent and unbecoming
in men pretending to be loyal. It is just
the way slaveholders used to talk to con
trabands. The Radical majority ought to
put a veto on such speeches, and we look
for them to do it.—Louisville Democrat.
Pride goes before a (water) fall.”
Preachers profess to teach people how
to live. Culprits on the scaffold would
like to learn.
At a recent masked ball in Norwich
a young lady was completely dressed in
Newspapers. She made a good “ impres
sion.”
If the wife of a Japanese don’t suit him
he cau send her hack to her parents and
try again. That is to say, all wives are
“ warranted ” in Japan.
Josh Billings says that “-if a man pro
fesses to serve the Lord, he likes to see
him do it when he measures onions as
well as wh«n he hollers glory lialleluyer.”
A robust countryman meeting a physi
cian one day ran to hide behind a wall.
On'being asked the cause, he replied,
“ It is so long since I have been sick that
I am ashamed to look a physician in the
face.”
Collection of Debts.
EVcrybodyMn Alabama, and we suppose
in other Southern States, is looking out
to see what the Legislative power will do
for. the relief of debtor?. It is to be fear
ed that this anxiety to know what will bo
done for them, may lead the debtor class
to overlook what they should do for them
selves.
The very first duty whieh^in these dis
astrous times, ev%ry man owes, jiot to his
creditors alone or chiefly, but to himself,
bis family aud society, is to preserve his
integrity unstained. Much rhetorical
flourish has been expended about “ times
that try men s souls”; hut there is prob
ably no test of human virtue more severe,
than that which, in times like these, calls
upon a man faithfully to meet pecuniary
obligations contracted before the civil war.
Almost every man in the Southern coun
try has suffered great losses, which no
prudence on his part could prevent. The
dangftr-is that men will be tempted to
offset such losses against the just claims
of creditors;
The manfwho is disposed to evade the
payment of his debts, on the ground that
he has been impoverished by the ravages
of war, should remember that his creditor
has been stripped by the same means.—
And that creditors will be doubly unfortu
nate, if, in addition lo his share in a com
mon calamity, he must lose also what that
calamity has not taken from him—his
honest pecuniary claims upon others
We would, if we could, impress upon
every individual debtor, that by the vol
untary payment of his debts to the extent
of his means, he is providing for himself
a better possession than money can pur
chase—self respect and the confidence of
his fellow men. Under ordinary circum
stances, even selfish and fraudulent men
will pay debts, because it is their selfish
interest to do so. He that shows himself
faithful to his engagements, amidst a uni
versal crash, will be trusted always and to
any extent. IIis children will commence
life with the grand advantage of being
descendants of an honest father.
We conclude as we began. Let every
man who looks to a future fur himself or
his family, cease to expect exoneration
from his debts through Legislative action.
Let him pay what he can compound
fairly with his creditors, and begin tho
world anew—ail honest, hold hearted man,
not a sneaking, knavish bankrupt.—Eu-
faulu Xeivs.

At a party the other evening one gen
tleman pointed out a dandified individual
to his friend as a sculptor.
“What!” said his friend, “such a
looking chap as that a sculptor? Surely
you must be mistaken.”'
“ He may not he the kind, of one you
may mean,” said the informant, “ but I
know he chizled a tailor out of a suit of
clothes last week.”
A gentleman was once arguing with a
lady, when at length he stopped.
“ I tell you what, ma’am,” said he,
“ I’ll not argue with you any IoDger;
you’re not open to conviction.”
“ Not open to conviction, sir?” was the
indignant reply; “I scorn the imputa
tion, sir; I am open to Conviction. But,”
she added, aftera-moment’s pause, “show
me the man who can convince me.”
Mr. Uaidecotte, a great session lawyer,
hut knowu as a drealiu! bore, was argu
ing a question upon the rateability of
certain lime quarries, and contended at
enormous length “ that they were not
rateable, because the limestone could
only be reached by deep boring, which
was a matter of science.”
“ You wiil hardly succeed in convinc
ing us, sir, that every species of boring
is a matter of science,” said Lord Ellen-
borough.
A temperance lecturer, discanting on
the essential and purifying qualities of
cold water, remarked, as a knock-down
argument:
“ When the world had become so cor
rupt that the Lord could do nothing with
it, he was obliged to give it a thorough
sousing in cold water.’
“ Yes,” replied a toper, “ but it killed
every darned critter on the face of the
earth.”
What a Pity.
Lizzie.—Did you know Clara was dead ?
Susan.—No! when did she die?
Lizzie.—Yesterday.
Susan.—She has just bough; seven
new dresses, two balmorals and had learnr
ed to paint so beautifully. She was not
spared to wear but three of her dresses.
What a pity. If she had lived to see
four more Sundays our grief would he
more moderate. Oh ! Dear.
Tiie Cotton Chop in Illinois.—The
cotton crop is the largest ever raised in
Illinois, and is rarely exceeded in what
are known as the Cotton States. The
product per acre this year will range from
1,000 to 1,500 pounds of seed cotton.—
The quality is good, is first-rate, as com
pared with upland cotton at the South.
We have heard it estimated that Jackson

ion counties will more than double this
amount. The weather this fall has been
peculiarly favorable for maturing and o-
pening the bolls. We have had no kill
ing frosts yet, and all the late bolls are
maturing, and will be as good as the ear
ly ones, thus making the yield extra
heavy. There are now six gins in town,
running constantly, and they cannot dis
pose of the cotton, even now, as fast as it
comes to market. Wagons are constantly
arriving in town, loaded with the staple,
and our buyers are eager to meet them.
The price has ranged from 10 and 12Jc.

A couple in Winsted, Connecticut, re
cently got married, as they supposed, and
went off on a bridal tour. Upon their re
turn, they were horrified by the discovery
that the inan who united them, was not

a magistrate was fouifd who fixed up the
matter so as to cover arrearages.
A frightful story comes from Bautzen,
in Saxony, concerning the execution of a
man named Botune, who had been, sen
tenced to death for murder. It appears
that at the time of the execution many
thousands of persons were present, and
watched while the condemned man
mounted the scaffold. Arrived at the
top of the steps to the guillotine, Botune,
instead of submitting to the attentions of
the executioner, engaged in a frightful
struggle with him and his assistants. He
hit all who came near him, and fought
furiously, crying out trom time to time to
the public to save him, aud asserting his
innocence' A fresh batch of men came
to the assistance of the executioner, but
even then it was impossible to get the
wounded man under the fatal knife ! At
last, alter a quarter of an hour passed in
vehement struggles, an exceptionably
strong bededa de justice seized him by
his hair and threw him down. He was
tied with the leather thongs usually em
ployed for the purpose, hut more than
once broke them to pieces. At last he
was secured, after a terrible struggle r aud,
having been fastened to the plank, was
thrust under the blade of the guillotine,
which fell immediately and ended the
strife. IIis last words were, “Human
justice is butchery.”
