Thev were standing where a brook, Bending like a shepherd’s crook.

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?

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.

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. ! thirty-nine “ stripes ” as to ask the old ■ deal with you.

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 county alone will produce 10,000 bales, while Perry, Williamson, Saline and Un 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. per pound for seed cotton T he latter fig ure for one load only, so far as we can learn.— Carbondale Era. man tBus : “ I say old man, I want to marry your daughter.” utul stoex aua prop- i bind foot.

Upon their re turn, they were horrified by the discovery that the inan who united them, was not self firmly, as one determined to out with ; legally qualified to do so, and that they it), to the best of my rekerlccu-hun, if were not> in f actj married at . all, whatever they might have been theoretically. But 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.” Pretty Heavy.—Thomas’ J. Carver, special bonded agent of the U- S. Treas. ury Department for Coctaw county, Ala., tried at Mobile before a military commis sion, on the charge of fraud in cotton transactions, has been convicted and sen tenced to pay a fine of $90,000, and to be imprisoned at Bard labor for one year, aud until the hue is paid.
