THE LITTLE KOBE OF WHITE.
BT liHS. S. T. I’EEHV.
In a rosewood cradle a baby lay ;
It* mother was stitching, stitching away
On a little robe of white.
One foot on the rocker, she hoped to keep
tier irolicksome baby fast asleep,
To finish her work that night.
In every stitch of the garment she wrought
1 hat loving mother fastened a thought—
Hopes lor that little ono—
And smiled on her babe with a bappv pride
As it slept in its cradle by her side
I ill that little robe waa done.
I lien she folded up the cambric and lace
And kissed her little one’s chubby face,
I hat smiled in its infant glee.
She tossed it up and down in the air ;
I ,rett y y o, >’U look, little babe, when you wear
1 hat new little robe, said she.
******
In a rosewood coftin the babv' lay—
Its mother hud wept the night away,
Watching its dying breath.
W ilb it clasped to her breast she prayed to keep
Her darling baby from going to sleep
in the cold, cold arms of death.
They buried the babe in the garment just wrought:
Whose every stitch held a hopeful thought—
From that loving mother’s sight
Ho the marble stone she wrote, with a tear,
“ I low many hopes lie buried here,
In that little robe of white.”
* * * * * *
In the Savior’s arms a baby lav.
From its rosewood colfin far away,
In the realms of love and light.
The angels a garment had folded about
Us little form which will never wear out—
A seamless robe of white.
One tiling Wanting.
A cry of terrific import rang through the
mighty ship,—she was sinking. Terror
sat on all faces —anguish surged upon all
hearts.
But the sturdy and active seamen did
not pause to wring their hands in despair.
They hastened to cast oil’ the ship’s boats,
and to pass over into them food, blankets,
and wine, and many other things necessa
ry to preserve life in a voyage on tlie sea
in open boats. Great sails were cast down
to lie used to protect women and children
from sun, and wind, and storm. Lastly
the affrighted passengers were handed
over and safely bestowed in their ap
pointed places. The captain stood bravely
at bis post on the sinking vessel until the
last man but himself had deserted her,
and then he too hade farewell to the deck
whereon he had long stood as a commander.
The good ship was the captain’s only
home, and that home was settling slowly
beneath his feet, to an ocean grave; what
wonder that there were tears in the stout
mail’s eyes mid a hiiskiness in his Voice'
as, on taking his place among his men,
he cried out—
“Pull away, my boys; give Poor Jenny
a wide berth, for she will go into her death
struggle in a few nipments more!”
What wonder that his heart felt sad,
thus to part with his vessel, even though
he had no fears about soon making some
snf' harbor?
They had good strong boats, able bodied
and courageous men, plenty of provisions,
drink and clothing; in short, everything
that they needed to make them comfort
aide for weeks, even should it be so long
before they reached the land. Everything!
had they every thing that they’ needed?
“My God !” cried the captain, starting
to his feet, his face white with utter
dismay and his stroug frame convulsed ;
“we have forgotten the compass.”
A faintness fell upon the stoutest heart
as these words were shouted forth ; and
the oars dropped from the hands of the
appalled mariners; for at the instant in
which they were uttered the ship plunged
forward, and, then struggling and
groaning, sank from tire sight of all.
It. was too lad: to repair that loss —that
fatal loss. And now what availed their
oiitlit of clothing, water, and provisions?
What but tp prolong the agony of know
ing that their probable doom was lo he a
slow aud agonizing death ? There was
not a sign in the heavens, or on the sea,
by which those hapless voyagers could
direct their course. A dense fog had
oleeurud the heavens for many days; it
still hung damp and heavy, about them ;
and now its chill and gloom struck to
their hearts.
They had no compass—they knew not
which way to go; nor could they tell
certainly that they were not rowing con
stantly in a circle, which in all probabilty
they were doing.
File intention bad been to keep together,
and cheer each other by company ; but it
was not long before one ot tilt* three boats
was lost, sight of, and all the shouting and
calling that the men could do never re
united them. This one boat, when its
occupants were nearly starved to death,
was found by an American vessel; but of i
the others no word was ever heart I. For
want ot a compass they had miserably
perislu-d. Any person who has ever tried
to walk in a direct line upon a moonlit
prairie can have a good idea of how vain
would tie the task of trying to row straight,
ahead through a dense fog upon the sea.
Without doubt, those unfortunate sailors
exhaustedl themselves with Imi tless (Torts,
and then perished by famine, or were
whelmed in the stormy sea.
And all this woe just because of lacking
oio thing. Is there no meaning in this
dismal story, deeper than anything re
lating to the body? is not life a sea?
Are wejnot all, in frail and open vessels,
sailing over its dangerous and bewildering
waves? Have not many of us a rich
supply of comforts for our voyage, but
how many of us have remembered to ake
our compass ?
Oh! milliner out on a stormy sea,
A rlmi'l ami a compass are offered to time;
Tun fog is it ion ml tliee. I lie breakers istfore ,
A tul terror aud warning are heard iu their
roar.
But. one thing is wanting to guide thee la pence.
Sate to the fair haven where dangers shall
cease.
And dally 'Us ntrered thee—turn net aside

Moral Coukagb.— We are social beings,
made to assist and encourage each other,
as well.as for mutual pleasure. If we each
stood alone, apart from all others, like an
isolated iceberg, and sought, only our own
happiness in asellish, uuamiable state of j
mind and course of conduct, how cheer
less and forlorn would lie our lives !
Ipttle should we know of the real joys of
soul, the solid bliss of life which we might
possess by obedience to the dictates of our
social nature, Advice, instruction and en
couragement arc the host offerings id
friendship to the young. And not the
least of tmsse is encouragement, with all
its ambition and activity. Youth is faint
hearted. K wants courage—calm,-steady,
nioral courage -to go out in pursuit of its
objects with a fearless confidence of suc
cess. Everywhere we find youth desiring
good that it despairs of attaining. One’s
ambition is fired with the glory of a finish
ed education, but be despairs of ever at
taining his object, and so plods on in some
ungutigl calling, miserable and almost
useless to society, without pursuing steadi
ly and perseveringly his object. Another
covets a profession, hut despairs, ami gives
up from the same cause. Another would
lie a merchant, but has not courage to at
tempt what is the solo end of his ambition.
Another would be a Christian in the high
moral sense of that word, but the ideal of
liis holy ambition is so far above him that
he despairs, forgetting that a daily pro
gress, with such efforts as he might all the
time nut forth, would place him high
among the ranks of the saintly followers
of the Man of all (Jomjness.
Not one half of our youth are developing
the full energy of their capacities; yea,
nine-tenths are growing up in comparative
umlevclopmeut, not one half of their real
capacity being called into action, from this
one cause— a want of moral courage. They
have energy, ambition, industry, but lack
count"*. An assurance from a valued
friemb a word of cheer from a known and
esteemed author, or a good-speed front the
lins of extterience, would be of essential
service to them. It would lire their
ourage, and they would be true to their
desires, tlleir ambition, and duty. I ev
ery where meet with falterjug you th-noble
mis. but fearful. Poverty, or diffidence,
i,r the whims of unwise friends, or some
f im ii and detect, of mi ml or body, keeps them
from the fields they desire to occupy, and
where they could bo more sucoessfu than
any where else iu life, because their hearts
ar LHe is full of beauty, and ought to be
one of gladness, it has a thousand glori
ous joys and as many sources ot constant
enjoyment. Constant cheerfulness is a
duty. A faithful, joyful pursuit of the
tilings thatwill minister most to our peace,
usefulness, happiness and progress, is a
moral obligation that we ought to comply
with all the time.

Mrs. Anna H. Dorsey sends us from
Washington a rendering of the Stabat
Mater, Pope Innocent Ill’s contribution
to the Seven Great Hymns, written in
1198, the year of his accession. The trans
lation preserves the metre of the original,
but is unequal to the sonorous simplicity
of the Latin verse, and will be found, as
is almost inevitably the case with the
translations of those grand mediteval
hymns, to introduce figures unknown to
tlie original;

By the cross with sorrow bending
On her thorn-crowned Son attending,
Stood liis mother crowned with woe;
Al! her soul with anguish groaning,
With no balm to soothe its moaning.
While griefs sword was cleaving
through.
Oil, how sad was her afflict ion,
And her soul’s dread crucifixion,
Mother of God’s begotten One;
Thus to see Mis form-extended
And each bleeding wound distended,
Jfcr's each pang that smote her Hon.
Oh, what man such grief discerning
Could unmoved behold the yearning
Os this tender mother’s woe;
See her hitter tears fast blending
With her dear Hon’s blood descending
From Jlis hands, Ills feet, His brow 1
'Twas for us He drankthe chalice,
Mixed by us, of wrath and malice,
Bore the scourge's knotted cords;
For us that she held her station
Where her Hon in desolation
Dying breathed His solemn words.
Fount of love ! Oh, let me borrow
From thy soul a share of sorrow, *
Let me learn to grieve with thee,
That my heart with ferVbr gloWmg
May'with love for Christ o’erfiowing,
In His favor seek to he.
Mother! stamp with sure impression
On my soul thy Son’s dread passion,
Every stigma that He bore;
,Twas for tne the rough nail pierced
Him,
For my guilt the spear transfixed Him,
For my sins the thorns He wore.
Let me, t hen, who caused thy dolor,
Bear with thee thy bitter sorrow,
So the burden to divide,
That through all life’s exile dreary
I my rest may find when weary
With thee and the crucified.
Virgin, others all excelling!
Turn noton me glance repelling
For the bitter woe I wrought;
Since lie died for sin’s transgression,
M ike me share in His dread passion,
Love the wounds my ransom bought.
Make me with His wounds be wounded,
Os 11 is cross with love unbounded
Let me seek the rugged way.
Then, sweet mother, still defend me,
Lest my sins from Him should rend me
On the dreadful Judgment di^y,
When death’s shadows round me lower,
Grant me, Jesus! in that hour,
Through Thy Mother’s pleading pray
er.
Palms of victory never dying,
Best with thee where tears and sighing
Never chill the blissful air.
Be Something.
” The preHent moment is our own/’.
The next we never saw”,
wrote Burns, and the maxim is invaluable
when we come to consider that the propel
value of so llceting a possession is the ben
eficial use to which it can be applied. The
application is, moreover, a duty of the
highest character, and the mode of pro
cedure a study that requires the concen
tration of the mind upon the development
of a cherished and distinctly marked out
object. The man that would succeed in
any undertaking must submit to the
wholesome restraints imposed by the con
duct necessary to lie observed in tlie work
ing out of the peculiar views ho had
formed. He must, in short, systematise
himself by the most rigid discipline. A
- lawyers say, if he wishes to lie some
thing, he must not travel out of the record.
Take a familiar and well-authenticated
instance. One of our richest city merchants
was very poor when lie was a boy, aud
when asked bow lie obtained his wealth,
he delivered tiiis characteristic reply:
“ I resolved very early to be something ;
and knowing that i must proceed by rule,
[ put in practice a lesson 1 had received
at a time when T was too young to sec the
great use it would tie to me. My fathed
taught me never to play till my work for
the day was finished, and never spend my
money till I had earned it. If 1 had but
half an hour’s work to doin a day, I must
do that the first thing, and in half an hour.
After this was done i was allowed to play,
and I could then play with much more
pleasure than if! had had the thought of
an unfinished task before my mind. I
early formed the habit, of doing everything
in its time, and it soon became perfectly
easy to do. It is to this habit that 1 owe
my present prosperity.”
I!ut the means here indicated would have
been nothing without the original im
pulse, the strong will, the solemn promise
to “ lie something.” Tliisis the text l|iat
we would set in letters of gold before ev
ery young person, because it is tlie sacred
duty of every one to perform some distinct
character mi the stage of life. Home seem
to think that man was made to rust out
his life, instead of having his share of
work to perform. This is an evil of a very
aggravated description, and can only be
eradicated by the intense conviction that
we are not placed hero to grow up, pass
through the various stages of life, and then
die without having done anything for the
benefit of the human race.
Nothing can he plainer than thata man
was never intended to be brought up in
idleness. What would the world he if
men were to live upon the accumulations
of their ancestors? Why, a barren waste,
a howling desert, a very Pandemonium,
in whose fitful gieamsthe forms o! demons,
not men, would he revealed. Hut the ob
ligation to labor, to he something more
than an automaton, is so manifest, that
the man who d<>es nothing is a mere ci
pher—he is cut off from all fellowship
with his kind — and when he dies hd Is
considered as no better than a discharged
incumbrance, a human item which has
not fullilied the obligations for which it
was sent, into the world, The man who
has done something never dies unregret
ted. The man who does nothing—wito is
destitute of aims—be he as rich as Cro-sus,
is no better than a cipher—he can not pos
sess the proper feelings of a citizen—and
must, therefore, ignominous place
among the drones.
“Be something” is, then, an eloquent
command emanating from the very source
ofall things; for even the affluent ought
to remember that “riches have wings,"
that hopes may he blighted, and in a mo
ment double-faced fortune present the
frowniug, chilling side to the most favored
of the children of ignoble case.
IT MIGHT HA VIS BEEN.
“It might h&vp been/’ To our life-drops are cast
Those sad, slow words; iu funeral trains they
move
Within our souls; the deserts we have pass’d
We cross a^aui —fr vm Kden-dreums of Love!
“ It might have been,” we sigh, and then we give
To the still grave qur coilius silently ;
But’mid our tears, some suit voice bids hope live —
We lift our eyes and say, “I 1 still may be.'

Will Good Seasons Prove that the
Bible is a Lie ?
Editors Journal and Messenger .-—ln a
recent number of y our papor, I notice an
article written over the signature of
“Houston Factory,” in which the follow
ing paragraph occurs:
“In my humble opinion whenever it is
made apparent that one man can take
another’s property, and make money otT
of it without paying for said property,
then the Bible is a He, and atheism is tlie
religion of the laud. The seasons, how
ever, have prevented this catastrophe so
far, and L believe they always will.”
I do not like to see such sentiments as
this paraded before the public. It is not
true; and I think only calculated to do
the unthinking great injury. I think the
Writer must be liimeelf already an athe
ist, anil desires the land to become like
him, or else hets lamentably ignorant both
of his Bible and the past history of tlie
world. It appears as if he lias just been
aroused from worse than a Rip Van W in
kle sleep, and thinks that he- is the first
man who has over been robbed since the
beginning of time.
It is true we have all been robbed, and
our property lias fallen into the hands of
others, and many who never owned any
property at all, are now working our slaves,
anil of course will never pay us for them.
It is also true, that under existing cir
cumstances, (though I do not mean the
seusons) not many of these men are likely
to make money oil'our property soon.—
Htill it is not at all improbable that some
are even now making money ofi' our
property,'and not at all impossible tlmt
many may do so in the future ; hut if they
should do so, it would he no kind of proof
that the Bible is a lie.
Every one knows, who is at all acquaint
ed with the Bible, or the past history of
tin* world, that God has, tor wise purposes
of hisown, permitted every species of in
justice to exist among men from the be
ginning of the world lo the present time.
Tlie wicked have often flourished like the
“green bay tree,” whilu the righteous have
been trampled in the dust; but this, in
stead of proving the Bible to lie ato , is
only a confirmation of its truth, for such
is only a fulfillment of the prediction of
the prophets.
If this writer’ssophistry be correct, then
the Bible would have been proved a lie
before it was ever written. When the
wicked hamLof Cain was imbrued in the
blood of righteous Abel, then there would
have wanted uo other proof that there
was no righteous God iu all existence.
I am of opinion, that before the Bible is
proved a lie, the Christian religion aban
doned, and atheism become the religion of
the land, the world will demand better
proof than simply “that one man should
take another's property and make money
oil' it without paying him for it.”
HOUSTON FACTORY NO. TWO.
Church Sleeping-
Some Hints as iu the I’rwqr Method "] Heyosin.tj
d'Uutj tin Sermon.
Some vain persons have been so weak
and wicked as to raise a question upon the
tm rils of the case—yes, they have gone so
far as to say that sleeping in church, so
far from being a duty, is absolutely, and
to all intents aud purposes, a sin. They
allege that the church was built for the
purpose of Divine worship, and it is an
insult to our Creator to go to sleep in it.
They further allege that it is disrespectful
to the speaker ami to ourselves to do so.
This is going a dreadful length, and only
another instance of the radical and extreme
tendencies of the age. What! that a sin
which has existed in the church from the
days of the apostles themselves! even
under Paul’s preaching! You remember
the striking example of that worthy young
man, Kutichus! A sin, indeed, itis not
a sensible act in me to waste time and
arguments upon such vain cavilers. The
uniform practice of the church (e-pecially
on warm afternoons) for eighteen hundred
years is decisive.
Assuming, then, that is a duty, let u
consider the manner of performing it. I
hold that fiideal! other Christian practic* y
there ought to be uniformity in the man
ner. We find it iit all the other parts of
worship, i. all sit while the sermon is
being delivered, stand or kneel while
prayer is being offered. Why, then,
should those who are engaged in offering
up sleep-worship not conform to some
one attitude?
First—Jt is an improjier manner of per
forming this duty to nod, and for the
plain reason that the worshipper attracts
too much attention. Now, we are taught
to avoid ostentatious display in our wor
ship. The Pharisees were condemned for
praying at the corners of the streets, that
they might he seen of men. On the same j
principle, theuodding worsliip|xT is con
demned, for lie is making too public a
display of his devotions. Tlios<- in his
immediate vicinity, instead of attending
to their own worship, are lost in admira
tion of the profound state in which his
devotional meditations have placed him.
Peradventure they may envy his condition
and thereby break the tenth command
ment.
Second—Nor is it proper to snore in she
performance of this duty—partly for the
foregoing reasons,hut mainly lx-eause it is
a direct infraction of the golden rule. —
Suppose, for instance, that your next
ueighltor is asleep; by your snoring lie
will he disturbed —probably awakened.
This, you perceive, is not doing to others
as you would they should do unto you.
Third— I deem it unchristian to sleep
with tiie head thrown nark ami the mouth
wide open. It is wrong to injure one’s
health while ottering worship; and all
physicians admit that- such a position is
liable to produce sore throat and hoarse
ness. Resides, flies sometimes get into
the mouth on such occasions, and by their
injurious explorations tickle Lite delicate
membranes and cause horrible eonsbetna
tioh—which, I am told, arc very injurious
to health.
Fourth—To sleep with the heat! resting
on the arhis of the worshipper and the
face buried up in the cuffs of the coat, is
the most improper way of offering sleep
worship.“ First. because it is also injurious
to health, ami is altogether a very unsafe
wuy of performing the duty ; and secondly
and mainly— because it is a sin—a direct
violation of the Scriptures, which com
mand us to let our light shine that men
may profit by our example. In this case
it is impossible to know whether the
Christian worshipper is asleep or awake.
It is a positive case of lukewarmness —
neither the one thing nor the other.
My cogitations have well high exhausted
the subject. Let me then say—that the
only truly pious way of performing the
important duty of sleeping in church is to
sit up-right, face to the minister, eschew
ing nodding, snoring and depressions of
the head.
Persons of sedentary habits, troubled
with weakness, lassitude, palpitation of
the heart, lack of appetite, distress after

masonic Jurisprudence.
Macon, Ga., July 19th, 1807.
Eros. Rose and Emm— l have been so
frequently questioned, privately and offi
cially, in relation to the following points
of Masonic Jurisprudence, that 1 have de
termined, for the benefit and guidance of
the uninformed, to give a synopsis of the
law from Hie standard authorities on
uuiil-points, for piiblieatibn in your “Ma
sonic Column.”
i.
Objections.—Any member of the Lodge
has the right to object to the initiation of
an accepted candidate, at any stage previ
ous to the 0.’.8.’., and such objection bars
tlie progress of tlie candidate, even though
tlie objector does not divulge bis reasons.
Any ..ioiijUkt of a Lodge, present at a
meeting, liaJwfce light, to object to the ®d*
mission of a person not a member, aud bis
objection must be respected, whether he
think proper to give his reasons or not,
because it is the duty of the Master to pre
serve the harmony and peace of ills
Lodge, which he could not do if he were
to admit visitors in spite of the objection
of sitting members.
rr.
Renewal of Petitions.—Any applicant
for initiation, who has been once rejected,
should never he received in any other
Lodge without tfie consent of the Lodge
which rejected him. Only the most
weighty reasons should allow of a .suspen
sion of this important rule. Removal
into another jurisdiction does not weakefi
tiie force of the rule.*
Tir.
Calling GIF.—A masonic body canno
adjourn, neither can it raft off from mi
day to another. 11 may cull from labor to
refreshment, from time to time, during lie
same day or evening, hut not to another
dat< . A Lodge must be regularly olu-vd
when 1 lie labor ot the day is completed,
and regularly opened when it n -uite
work.
mi.
Processions.—Public masonic pr< c* -dins
arecntirely under the charge of Hut Grind
Lodge. No subordinate Lodge has a {ighl
to appear in public, on any occason,
without the consent and approbation of
the Grand Lodge, or of its reprcsontat ve,
the Grand Master, ot his Deputy —except
in the case of masonic funerals, in plates
distant from the seat of the Grand Lodge,
or residence of the Grand Master.
Abridgement of Degrees.—A Lodge 1 a
no right to abridge or omit any part of tlie
ceremonies or explanations belonging to
any of tlie degrees when conferring tlntn
Up6n a candidate. Hucli abridgements ;fe
highly detrimental to the best interestsbf
Masonry, and should never he allowed.—
The appropriate elutryc should always »e
given at the close of each degree.
vi. ,
The Records.—lt is tlie duty of the
Secretary to record the truth, and a Lodge
cannot alter or expunge the record, except
to make it conform to tlie truth. A record
once approved cannot be expunged ; aid
can only be amended by explanatory <r
amendatory notes. A meeting cannot
properly, alter or amend the records r'|L
preceding one, as each is the only [uo ■
judge of its own lecords. The miaul- % .fl
every meeting should be read at its close,
and all errors thus noted and corrected.-
At the subsequent meeting the record i
properly read, not for correction, but so
information.
Vir.
Summonses.—Every Mason residing
within the jurisdiction of a Lodge is bounc
to obey the summons of such Lodge,
whether it be written or oral, and wheth
er he he a member of such Lodge, or of
any Lodge, or not. A neglect or refusal
to obey is good cause for discipline, even to
expulsion.
Masonic Symbols as Advertisements.—
The. employment of masonic symbols or
emblems as signs to attract attention to
one’s business—unless such business be
exclusively or largely masonic—is a per
version of their use, and deserves severe
condemnation. The same is true of the
technical words and phrases peculiar to
masonry. A brother offending iu either
of these particulars is liable to masonic
punishment.

An important branch of our mission,
too, is to establish between Masons a me
dium of cordial and facile intercourse,
more extended, if possible, than hitherto,
so that no one who reads our pages need i o
future remain, month after mouth, in/ig
norance of the movements which ocetflhu
the various Grand or subordinate Lodges.
Every Mason, however isolated he may
happen to be, through local situation,
from oral communication with his breth
ren, will, through our columns, have the
means of becoming acquainted with all
matters of current interest touching the
proceedings, tiie policy, and tiie progress
of the Order, and learning how he him
self, though living iu a district remote
from the associations of the Craft; may
acquit himself as a faithful and worthy
member.
Our work is a noble one—our mission—
that of co-operation in that design of char
ity universal which constitutes the essence
and deathless spirit of Masonry.

There is something terrible in vicious
old age. Its very i mbeeility heightens the
terror; we see the bad passions stiTl long
ing for their impure food, while, to a great
extent, tiie power that once purveyed for
them is forever gone. Gold glitters, but It
is beyond the trembling senile reach ;
selfish thirst for position stilt parches the
wrinkled throat, but the tottering step
vainly struggles towards the sparkling
fountain; hatred forau enemy still burns
in the failing heart, but the sinewless hand
clutches feebly at the dagger. Alas! he
is still unconscious, practically at least,
that wealth is only to be desired for the
sake of some beneficent end; position, for
the power itatlords of shedding happiness
on our fellow-men; and his lips have, yet
to eelto those sublime words of forgiveness
uttered by Him who spoke as never man
spake. Yes, terrible and [loathsome is
vicious old age, as it totters on to that
bourne from whence nt> traveller returns.
Behind it stretches the Past, a waste of
ashes; around it spreads the Present—a
champaign from which, full though it
may be of beauty and grandeur, it can
gather no delight; before it looms the
awful Future—a cloud with no sunshine
on its edges, no voice of hope coming front
its mysterious deeps.

The Crops.
Mr. Editor . I Have seen a great many
accounts of the prospects of the growing
crops, and now I will give you mine in
regard to this section.
As to the corn crop, where it was well
cultivated, it is as good as the land could
make it, and the planters and Jaborerscan
boast and do, to the mortification of thfe
others. This constitutes from one-third to
one-half ; the other two-thirds or one-half
has failed, and will have to put up with
short nubbins on account of lost time and
idleness by the laborers, which they now
begin to feel bad alsnit, as they see that
next year all the faithful laborers will be
--ought for, ami if he can say I lived with
Colonel or Major such and such an one,
and we mail" a good crop for him, and he
paid us promptly ; they will say, I would
like to employ you. The laborer will re
ply, No, sir! J am going to work where I
did last year if they wunt me, lie pays ;
and his land will not he so hard to culti
vate another year as your’s will. I heard
your folk-- did not work last year, and your
corn is short. Your land was butchered,
ands don't care to go there.
'i bis goes to prove that good laborers can
find good berths, and is the only labor that
will pay out.
Well, now for the cotton. I heard
;t good deal about that three millions of
hales to he raised in the South this year.—
Well, 1 have put down the estimate, with
good seasons, to I,BOO,tXX) to 2,000,000 hales,
and now we have had constant rains for
nearly a month, and the boll worm and
the shedding have commenced, I can’t
-ay that my figure's will be realized.
1 heard a planter say that two-thirds of
his farm had bedded, and that it was still
raining, and that the fruit soon, would
commence to rot, as it was gathering full
of black specks on the fruit. I would ad
visc all planters to keep their good cotton
to itself, and the cotton picked out after the
rains to itself, and pack each separate.—
There is not the old cotton held back to
swell the receipts that there was last year.
AN OLD CITIZEN.
Adjani/, (in., July 16, 1867.
To-day the worker can look abroad over
the earth anil say , “All these are my i
trophy! ” Yes, all are Labor’s trophy.
Without its stout sinews and strong hands,
this vast, beautiful scene of ever-widening
civilization had not been. No wealth could
have called it into being. Until Labor
created it, there was no wealth. Labor
dug the ore, stamped the coin, and made
the currency of the world. Labor is the
only real capital—productive industry and
creative skill the only real wealth of the
world. Let the honest, intelligent, virtu
ous laborer stand forth, then, no longer
abashed in the presence of whatever caste
or creed of men, but proudly, as the equal
of the noblest and best of mankind. The
day of his true dominion is dawning.
The time hastens when the world shall
acknowledge him lord of the earth—the
sceptre of which has been too long with
held from his grasp—as lie has been the
creator of civilization and the liuilder of
empires. He shall soon pluck for his own
taste from tin* vine ami fig-tree of his own
planting, and sit in the palace and be
heard in the temple, and have his name
graven on the memorial pillars he lias
reared.
Preserving Okra.— One of the most
healthy and nutritious vegetables is the
okra, which is raised in such abundance
in our climate. We are surprised that so
little attention is given to preserving it
for ii -e all through the winter, when it can
he done so easily and so cheaply. The
following recipe (says the Montgomery
Sintmel) lor doing it is furnished by a
practical and experienced gardener and
agriculturist:
Takea clean barrel, sprinkle salt in the
bottom (coverthe bottom); then laydown
a layer of okra evenly over the surface of
salt; then, on this, another layer of okra,
as before, and so on till the barrel is full, or
you have put as much as desired, covering
the whole, when done, with a thick layer
of salt.
5Y ortvi Knowing.— One pound of green
copperas, dissolved in a quart of water
and poured down a sink or drain, will
effectually destroy the foulest smells. For
water closets on board ships and steam
boats, about hotels and other public places,
there is nothing sq, nice to cleanse as
simple green copperas. Dissolved under
the bed in anything that will held water,
it will render a hospital or other place for
sick free from unpleasant smells. For
butchers’ stalls, fish markets, slaughter
houses, sinks, and wherever there are ob
lensive putrid gases, dissolve copperas
and sprinkle it about, and in a few days
the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat, or
mouse dies about the house, and sends
forth an offensive gas, place some dissolv
ed copperas in an open vessel near the
place where the nuisance is, and it will
soon purify the atmosphere.
One of the most closely built business
squares in the to\yu of Tarboro’, N. C.,
was hunted Tuesday night—loss very
heavy.
Mr. George Jones, business manager of
the New York Times, pulled tiie nose of
Mr. Cyrus W. Field, the Atlantic man, a
few days since. Mr. F. had called Mr. J.
a liar .several days before !
Bishop Scott, of California, died in New
York on the 14th instant. He was form

Gen. Sheridan is stated to Itave reported
to Head-Quarters at Washington, that in
the interior of Louisiana more negroes
write their own names in registering, than
white people. Not the first lie has told,
nor is there any reason to believe it will
be tiie last falsehold the little upstart will
tell to please his Radical friends.
