Tbe Ballad of Farmer Brown.
A SONG FOB THE TIMES, WITH A MORAL.
Old farmer Brown came into the house,
And wrathfully slammed the door;
And flopped himself down inloachaii,
And flopped his hat on the floor.
For, farmer Brown was dreadfully
wroth,
./lud his dander it was up;
And lie looked around with an angry
scrowl,
And wrathfully kicked tbe pup.
“ I’m tired from head to foot,” he said;
“ And hungry as I kin be;
I’d like to have a mouthful to cat—
Is dinner most ready ? ” said he.
The farmer's wife, she was pale and
thin,
And hungry and wan was she;
And her eye was dim and her step
was slow,
And her dress was a sight to see.
“Your dinner is ready,” she meekly
said,
“ And the dodgers arc smoking hot.
Hut I’ve scraped the meal all out of
the box,
' And the last jint's just from the pot.”
“The mischief you have!” said funn
er Hrown,
Heaving a doleful sigh,
Thar’s plenty of bacon and corn in
town
And I’ve no money to buy.”
Up npoke tlie former’s daughter, Wa
rier—
And she hadn’t spoke before;—
“Thar’s cotton out uuder tlie shed, 1
said sl<c,
“ Some dozen bales or more.”
“Cotton, the devil!” said farmer
Hrown,
(It’s dreadfully wrong to swear.)
“ My cotton’s all mortgaged for last
year's work,
With never a bale to spare.”
“ Well, then,” his daughter upspoke
again,
“ If that won't do for feed;
You’ve two or three wagon loads
more
Of Dickson’s Prolilic Seed.”
“Do you think me a bcastV” said
farmer Hrown,
I’m neither cow nor steer;
Aud what if I was? I’ve hardly cnougli
Of seed to plant this year.”
Then said his daughter Maricr, again,
“ ’1 liar's guano, lots,” she raid,
“Thar’s twenty sacks full into the
barn,
And barrels under the shed.”
“Guano? oh, Lud1” said larmcr
Hrown,
“ I need all the precious stuff
To put on my cotton land this vear,
Aud then not have enough.”
But when the larmcr had eaten his
fill,
lie fell into thought profound.
And smoked his tobacco, which cost
at least
Some ninety cents per pound.
And then he muttered—“Thar’s some
thing wrong
About my farming, I swear!
'c don’t have even enough to cat,
Not half enough to wear!
My mules are starving almost to
death,
My cows are dreadfully thin;
Thar's hardly a car ot corn iu the
crib;
And narry oat in the biu!

The limes ain’t like they once have
been.
When I was young and spry;
We had fat horses and mules in the
lot,
And fat hogs left in the sty.
My smoke house groaned with meat.
Wc then had plenty of clothes to wear,
And always enough to cat.
Hyjiqgs! I'll change my habits at
ouce
From woeful experience leam-
This year my cotton I’ll plaut in a
patch,
And plant my fields in corn.”
All you whoso farms are

Who'vc neither corn nor meat—
Just make the resolve of farmer

Mozart’* Death and Requiem
John Chrysotom Wolfgang Mazart
one of the greatest, if not the greatest
of musical composers the world has
produced, was Dorn in Sallzbur$_
1750. His father was an eminent mu
sician; and Mozart was esteemed
prodigy at the age of six years; and
before he was 15 had produced tlie
grand opera Mitliriad&tes, which had
on its first writing a run of 28 success
ive nights at the Emperor’s Imperial
Opera”. He died in 17‘J2, under tlie
following remarkable circumstances:
Mozart, tbe great author, had labor
ed long upon the words and music of
the following lines, //e completed
the production one morning came
down from his room and gave it to
hi* daughter, asking her to sit down
to the piano and play and sing ii for
him while he rested on the sofa. She
complied, and performed the piece
* feelingly, When she
artistically and
had concluded, she asked her father
if he was pleased with it. He appear
ed to be sleeping. She went and
touched him—he w as dead.
FROM ARKANSAS. '
Hot Springs, Garland Co. Ark.,)
August 13, 1873. >
Editors Times :—After having been
pent up here betweeit these two moun
tains for two months with nothing rec
ommended for me to drink but this
red hot water, it was through the ad
vice of my physician, who thought it
best, that I should make a change for
a while, a week or ten days, advised
me to visit Mountain Valley Springs,
which is only twelve miles North of
this place, and there being a regular
hack line from here to Mountain Val
ley Springs the visitors are pnt to very
little trouble in finding conveyance.—
All that is required to insure a seat is
to see one of the managers of the line
the evening before you wish to go and
to have yourself in readines by 7 a.
u, next morning, and they will have
the liackman to call at any part of the
Valley for you. Our party consisted
—the day I went out—of myself three
other'gentlemen and the driver; and
to the latter wc looked too to carry us
sately through, which ho did, after we
having had many jerks and bumps
from the hack in Us uudulating course.
route lay along the valleys w ith
now and then a short but steep ledge
of some of the numerous mountains to
cross over, and at other times we w’ould
be on the side of some huge hill, going
at the rate of 2 forty with many jolts,
and jostles, from the numerous stoucs
that in many places covered the road
bed. Yet despite our ups aud downs
our little party seemed to enjoy the
trip, and most especially, one o*f our
party an old gentleman from the State
of T , who kept tho ballance of the
party busy in answering his many
questions. Five minutes being long
enough for him to get acquainted with
any one, and I presume that if one had
remained witli our old traveler long,
that he would have been familiar with
his history from boyhood up.
The first thing that attracted our at
tention, outside of the beautiful land
scapes, mountains, valleys and spark
ling brooks, was tlie big ChalvDcatc
Spring, of which I gave your readers
a short description in my former
letter. This being a stopping place
for comers aud goers, we were allowed
to rest here a few moments, and, white
looking around wc found that this
Spring makes its rise on th? East side
of a small creek the waters of which
arc conducted across tho creek by
means of a hollow gum, and from it«
appearance must have been cut and
placed thero many years ago. This
Spring is admired by all who chance
to sec it. Aud besides, its great min
eral properties, aud its large volume
of water that is continually flowing
from it, the surroundings are pictur
esque aud grand, aud is much resorted
to by pleasure seekers and invalids
when taking a ride out, and as they
usually drive in this direction they
make it n point to stop aud take u
drink of this cool aud sparkling water,
and admire tho surrounding scenery.
And we learn that in ante-bellum day
just on tho top a little knoll, a fei
paces off, stood a nice hotel which has
cither fallen iuio ruins or been burnt,
nothing left to mark the place, save
two chimneys that arc still standing.
After having refreshed ourselves here
with a cool drink which was handed
by our ever attentive driver, after
which he cracked his whip and off we
sped in the direction of Mountain
Valley Spring. In passing on
our way we came to many romantic
spots, with here and there, the cottage
of a mountaineer, perched upon the
side of the hills, among the rocks be
neath tho umbrageous white oaks,
which seem to have out-stripped all
the other growth, both on the hillside
and in tho valleys, which in its season
affords au akuudaut crop for the
mountaineer’s hogs.
In the valleys many of which are
very fertile, we find small patches of
eoru, peas, potatoes, oats, tobacco, cot
ton, vegetables, etc., besides fruit trees,
pcacltcs, apples and pears, arc grown
and mature finely here. In many
plaees near these farm houses
and even in the yards we find the wild
gr»i>e and muscadine laden with fruit,
spreading its leafy brandies on tho
top of some small tree which knew not
the hand of man in its early training.
Wc must not fail to mention that
in one or two instances along our
route in these fertile valleys, we no
ticed some very line corn growing, al
though it had been somewhat injured
by the drought, yet it was thought to
he good lor oO or t*0 bushels per acre,
and, we were iuformed by a gentle-
who lived here anti knew the
country, that the lands in many places
in these valleys would produce 75
bushels of corn per acre, when the
seasons arc good. We noticed
that Use corn was left two stalks to a
hill and not more than 2 1-2 to 3 feet
apart in the drill. But I learn that
these fertile valleys are not very
tensive. With all our ups and do
going out to Mountain Valley Springs
wc must confess that wc enjoyed the
trip, the cool and balmy mountain
breezes together with the varied and
imposing scenery and the numerous
blight and spaikling streams, with
their crystal like waters winding their
way over their rocky beds at the foot
of these mountains and hills, overhun
with the natural growth which ii
many places has woven rich garlands
of rare and pretty flowers. After
a drive of three and a half hours we
arrived with whole honest at Moun
tain Valley Springs. Af»* r a ’ or y
loll, dinner was announced, and on en
tering the dining room we found the ta
bles spread with many good things,and
one would suppose to have been pre
thick in a trough thatls need to convey
the water to the bath houses. - There
is but very little of this sediment that
forms immediately where the spring
rises. But U is found to form in the
trouj hs soon after it leaves the spring
which we suppose is caused by the ac
tion of the air in some way upon the
water; this sediment is formed
very rapidly so much so as to render
it necessary for the troughs to be
cleaned out every few days which
if net attended to io due time would
impede the progress of the water in
its downward course. The waters of
these springs are said to cure or to
prove beneficial for the following line
of diseases: Dyspepsia, Chronic Diar-
rhee, Paralysis, Gravel, General De
bility, Torpidity of the liver, c.nd for
all kidney and urinary organs, Drop-
r, Pyles, Sore eyes, lnflamato*y
heumatism, and also chronic chills.
For the latter disease tho waters
are said to be a specific; and the Pro
prietor has gone so fax as to say that
for every case of chills that these wa
ters fail to cure in three days that he
will make no charge for a months
board. They must surely be a dead
shot for the latter disease or the pro
prietor would not be so liberal in his
oilers.
We are sorry that we cannot give
the analysis of this water as wo find
on inquiry of the Proprietor that tlie
waters had never been analyzed. They
are, however, said to be strongly im
pregnated with Iron potassium, sul
phur, arsenic, soda, etc. The larg<
spring is said to carry off 1500 gullouo
of water every hour; it is called the
Soda Spring, and with its waters there
arises a limpid, inodorous oil, which
is very perceptible early in tlie morn
ing and can be skimmed from the sur
face, and when drank \o a very
limited extent, acts as a certain,
,*et harmless catharthic. In the
ittlc stream just where all of these
diflereut waters unite are found laigo
quantities of a kind of porous rock ot
an oval shape from the size of a buck
shot to six or eight inches in diameter,
which is formed from the deposits of
these waters. Wc learn thac this
deposit was often obtain and crushed
or ground to a powder during tlie war
and used for a substitute lor yeast
powders. To satisfy our curiosity wc
pounded a small quantity which
proved to us there was considerable
soda in it from the effervescence that
took place when it was brought in
contact with an acid.
These Springs and the lands that
surround them was formerly owned by
Mr. Lockett, who did not go to any
trouble in fitting them up any war.
But for two or three decade of years
hack they were resorted to by invalids
who came here in wagons and camped
out for nceks at a time aud drank the
waters.
Mr. Peter E. Green coming in pos
session of them eighteen mouths a««
lias not only changed their name, (ti
they were forweriv called Locket
Springs, but now Mountain Valley
■prings,) but has put up many kuild-
ags, among which is a large hotel
250 feet long with wide verandas in
front, which not only adds much to its
comforts, but greatly to its beauty.—
The rooms arc large and airy With
good soft matresscs, and clean linen,
aud the nights being rather cool there
was nothing to disturb our quiet rest,
save the meandering cry of the tree-
toad, or locust that inhabited the tall
white oaks that stood near the build-
After spending a week with
our obliging host we again returned
to Hot Springs, where with fleas and
amiders we feci more at home.

streets.
“It isn’t worth three!” cried Mrs.
Pendexter.
“Worse kind of knotty wood,’mem.”
“I won’t give a cent more than
three.” persisted Mrs. Pendexter.
“Werrv well, it’ll be to somebody
besides me,” said the roan shouldering
his axe and passing indifferently on.
He supnosed that Mrs. Pendexter
would call him back and accede to his
terms, but he was mistaken in the bux-
urn widow’s mental calibre. She was
turning indoors again, when to her
suprise, she found herself confronting
Mr. Ferdinand Allaire in his shirt
sleeves.
m your man, ma’am!” said he,
nibbing his white palms briskly to
gether.
“My goodness gracious ejaculated
the widow, “what do you mean, Mr.
AllniroV”
A Job of Wood Sawing.
“Fts.no joking matter, Mr. Allaire,”
said Jemima Pendexter.
‘Ofcourse it isn’t Jemima,* 1 said
Mr. Allaite, rather more soberly, than
he had spoken before. “But ’if jou
come to that, isn't it deal jollier, aud
just as cheap to laugh as to cry?”
Miss Jemima Pendexter was a tall
blooming brunette, with dark brown
eyes, hair satin black, and a good
healthy bloom on either check, *nd
her green gingham dress fitted her
perfectly as if a Broadway modiste had
cut and-made it. Ferdinand Allaire
was a handsome young tellow of some
five or six and twenty, whose dark
sparkliug eyes sent out rqguish gleams
from beneath a pair ol arched brows,
teeth were as white as a fresh cut
slice of cocoanut.
“But mother wants tho money,” per-
do, Jcmi-
sisted Miss Pendexter.
“Not half so badly
ran.”
“It's too bad,” pouted Jemima.
“So it is. Hut really, Jemima, don't
you suppose I would - pay her iti a min
ute if 1 had the money? If. For I'm

Allaire?’
“I mean that little job of wood saw-
g.” said our hero. “Bring on your
ax and saw. I’ll do it for threo, dol
lars and, turn it in towards our small
account. Now, then, ma’am wide
awake, if you please ! x
“Hut—1 beg your pardou, Mr. Al
laire, if you please—you are a gentle-
mau!”
“Very well, what of that? Is there
auy thing to prevent a gentleman split
ting up a cord of wood? A great deal
moxc strengthening to the musics of
the arm than dumb bells and ludiau
clubs, I a ant sure.”
“Arc you really in earnest?”
“Yes, I ant.”
And then Mrs. Pendexter, seeing no
reason why she should not realize a
portion at least of the backboard for
the third story hall bod room in this
practical manner, sent Jack the er
rand boy, down after the ax and saw,
and Mr. Ferdinand Allaire, set brisk
ly to work, whistling* Batiks and Bras
most energetically, as he toiled.
Miss Jemima came aud looked out
of the window, her eyes shiuing mer
ry encouragement, and her mischcvi-
ous mouth framing itself iuto dimples.
Miss Laviauia Jones, the elderly mai
den lady who occupied tho back par
lor, pursed up her lips, aud wondered
‘what ridiculous freak that madcap of
Mr. Allaire would be up to next?*
Young Jcssetny of the Occidental Club
uearly got run over, stairing back in
amazement at seeing Ferdinand at
work; and Miss Addclc Maurice, with
wlioni he had led the Gennas, three
nights before—for our hero was what
wasc&ilcd a ‘society young man’—
stared with all her eyesjaud like the
Priest and Levite in the parable pass-

himself— 1 “what do I care?”
Hut as an open barouche rolled by
and a stick of viciously-minded wood
spun from the rending stroke of the ax
directly into the velvet-cushioned scat,
opposite a tall white-haired old man,
who sat there in dignified slate, our
hero Ipokcd up apologetically.
“1 beg your pardou sir—I didn’t
mean—” ha begau, politely.
And then he stopped, in ainazeinctit.
It was Mr. Laurence Allaire, the very
grim old untie who had refused to
countenance the unreasonable nephew
who presumed to prefer lilcraturo and
the belles-lettres to a seat in tho bank
ing house of Allaire Sc Algrovc.
“Now I’m done past all redemption,
groaned Mr. Ferdinand to himself—
“Uncle Laurence was quite augi

this street just now, of nil times in the
world? IIo cut me out of his will tiirec
months ago, now he will add a special
clause of obloquy and di|gr ace. Well
1 can’t help it?”
Old Mr. Allaire had opened his keen
blue eyes very wide at the unwonted
sight of his aristocrutic nephew split
ting wood, but it had not produced ex
actly the effect upon him which Fcrdi-
naud so darkly prophesied. He sat up
as straight as ever in hts carriagi
gravely meditating,
“Stokes said he to his coacli-mau.
“SirV” said .Stokes.
“Drive to Mr. Fennawinks.”
“Yes sir” said Stokes.
“Didn't kuow the boy had so much

aire to himself, stroking his frost-white
mustache. “The only relative I've got
in the world, after alt: tio use in mak
ing an obstluate old ‘stag^unclc’ of

“Yes sir,” said the lawyer, from his
leather-covered chair, as Mr. Allaire
walked into astuffy little cilice smelling
of law books and stale cigar smoke.
“I want my will restored to its orig-
under the grate.”
“That - * nousenae'. 'said Miss Fen-
dexter.
“01 course it is. Sense is at a dis
