Yaarg Kitty sat knitting. ** My and irlmg.’’ I said,
I have had a most beautiful dream!
Shall I tell it?" She g'rVe a slight shake of the head,
And answered: I'm turning the team /”
I reached for the mesh, speckled soft like a pint,
That she held in her fingers so small;
But she answered: “I can’t leave my work—only think !
1 am knitting a sock for a doll.”
“ Don't tease me so. Kitty, my dear little one—
You are dying to hear— l 11 be bound !’’
“Just wait, ’ she said, smiling as bright as the sun,
“Just wait till I’ve knitted a round ”
I waited impatient, and then I drew near.
And, pushing the curls from her brow.
I said: “Are yon ready, my Kitty, my dear?”
She answered: “7’>/t nurroicing nine !''
Still nearer I drew—put my arm round her waist—
And, breaking of silence the seal,
Repeated: “Dear Kitty ! why. what is your baste ?”
She answered: “I’m setting the heel!”
I smiled, and I frowned—l looked up at the clock—
At the coals ’neath the forestick aglow,
And then at dear Kitty—she held up the sock,
Saying: “ Would you put white in the toe?”
“ You shall hear me, Kitty, you dearest of girls,
And then, if yon will, you may scoff!”
She shook loose the hand I laid on her curls,
As she said, “I’m just binding off
“ I dreamed of a cottage embowered with trees,
And under the bluest of skies—”
She checked me with: .“Sit farther oft', if you please,
My needles will get in your eyes!”
“I dreamed you were there, like a rose at my door,
And that love Kitty, love, made us rich!”
“ I told you to sit farther off, once before 1”
She answered: “I’m dropping a stick ! ’
She knitted the lust, and had broken the. thread,
When I cried! “ Am I only a friend ?
Or may Ibe lover ? She quietly said:
“Pray wait till I've fastened the end!”
“ Will you marry me?” Here the worst came to the
worst,
There was nothing to do but. to go ;
For I learned at the last, what I might have known first,
It was all her soft way to say No!

Charles D. Bearce, Esq., a merchant
of Portland, Maine, having recently made
quite an extended trip through the South,
on his return home, submitted his conclus
sions in the following communication. As
Mr. B. was born and bred in the ‘ Lumber
State,” and might be supposed a thorough
going Yankee, his account of what he saw
and learned, possesses double interest. It
has appeared iu a number of our news
pa pern .
A TRIP TO TIIE SOUTH.
From the Argus, Portland, Maine.]
Editor of Argus— Dear Sir : — Having
recently spent considerable time in the
South, I have often felt inclined to com
municate with your readers; hut so many
conflicting reports of that part of the c >uns
try have been made, and I did not know
but I might have to change or modify my
own “firstimpressions” and did not wish to
express any opinions until I had for my
self seen and heard all 1 possibly could, —I
have forborne communicating until now.
From the reports we often see in newspa
pers, one would suppose it would he ud
pleasant if not dangerous for Northern peo
ple to travel in the South. It is to correct
such impressions that I wish to make a few
observations, and it is perhaps proper for
me to state what my facilities for observa
tion have been. I have made the acquaint
ance of peop’e from every southern state
and talked with them very freely, hearing
all they had to say. My mere personal ex
perisuce has been, however, (south of
Washington) in the state’s of Virginia,
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and
South Carolina. I have traveled by day,
and by night, in rail cars and on steamers,
in stage coaches and by private convey
ance, revisited many places. Spen consid
erable time in towns on the line of the rail
roads, and in country places way from the
line of railroad, mixing freely with the
people at all times ; and in justice must
say that 1 have never seen or heard the
least thing that could be objectionable to
the most fastidious. I met with nothing
hut kindness throughout the Saith, and
this is the testimony of every Northern
man 1 met, except of the carpet-bag order,
without exception. There is an old, and I
fear almost forgotten command , —“Thou
shalt not hear false witness against thy
neig bor,” and I cannot c mceive why such
false reports are still circulated at the
North in regard to the people of the South,
unless it is intended to foster and encour
age a spirit of animosity between the two
sections,- a spirit that does not exist among
the Southern people.
I verily believe there is more of a spirit
of vindictiveness existing in the North than
is at the South from the very fact that
these false and exaggerated reports are be
lieved. and the people do not understand
the feelings of the people of the South.
Designing politicians are the bane and pois
on of the people both North and South.
The state of Georgia is the only unrecon
structed aod unrepresented State of the
former Union \ why she remains so it is
ditieult to tell. Having complied with all
the requisitions of Congress as they have
from time to time been made, it is yet un
certain whether its state government is pro
visional, or actual—whether the state is
subject to civil or military rule—whether
to one or the other, or both. How long its
present state government shall continue in
office, is dependent upon the sovereign will
and pleasure of that august body, —the
Congress of the United States, —and yet the
state is quiet, more quiet than her enemies
wish. “Outrages” in Georgia are reported
in Washington for effect there—hut the
people at home know nothing of them
w hatever.
I do not intend to say that every man in
Georgia feels that he has nothing to com
plain of—dt would be strange if it were so
—and if we of any Northern states would
put ourselves in the place of the people of
that state we should find it a situation nut
particularly calculated to make us “thff
meekest of men”—but I do say “let the
dead part bury its dead.” There is not a
more law abiding people existing than the
people ot Georgia to-day. The sentimennt
of-their hearts and the action of their lives
is in accordance with that sentiment that
ought to mean something,— ‘ L fc t us have
peace.” The state of Georgia, is an impor
tant one in every respect and mav well be
termed “the Empire State of the Suuh.”
Great in extent—with a favorable climate
and a fertile soil, it produces almost every
thing desirable. With sufficient water
power f»r ail manufacturing purposes—
well supplied with timber—and rich in its
mineral productions, combined with its un
rivalled agricultural resources, the state is
indeed an empire of itself. The best of
timber from the forest, Iron, Coal, and all
the other precious metals from the mines,—
C tton, Corn, Wheat, Oats, Potatoes, all
the vegatables and almost all the fruits
from the earth, invite the skillful hand of
man to this region, and Manufacturies and
W orkshops must follow a natural demand.
The vast resources of this great state are
becoming known, and the people, too, who
reside here and have made it the first
among the Southern States. To gain some
knowledge of Georgia and her people I
traveled over the state in various directions,
visiting cities, towns and villages, and
spending some time in country places,—
calling upon the people in their houses of
business—at their workshops—upon their
plantations— at their homes, —and in all
places I met not only with gentlemanly
civility, but true kindness and the most hos
pitible treatment. I found the people in
dustrious, temperate and moral in every
respect, and I never passed the same length
of time in a more well-ordered community.
In regard to the material prosperity of the
South I do not propose to speak at length.
It will be remembered that the war left
that people poor, desolate, and powerless.
No one who has not been there, can form a
definite idea of tiie suffering and hardships
imposed upon the people from the effects us
the war.
The mannef in which the South has re
cuperated itself, and the people have risen
from their recent deplorable condition
speaks well for their energy, industry and
perseverance, and must commend itself to
the admiration of all, except those who
seem to envy them their present prosperity,
and whose intense “loyalty” would rather
see them still further humbled in the dust
of humiliation.
In regard to the two classes—white and
black, there is now, I believe, no ill will
existing, nor has there been, except where
it has been engendered by designing people
fjr selfish purposes Left to themselves,
the whites and blacks will get along well
together and harmonize for the best good
of both races. There certainly is no enrni
ty on the part of the whites toward the
blacks; a very kind feeliDg certainly ex
ists between them. I have had too much,
own persohal f o6§^a?finf; o ro>U& u wWfIL «?,Y
a moment. The sooner each race is fairly
emancipated from outside influences the
better for all concerned, and true philan
throphy will dictate harmony rather than
antagonism. Not long since in a debate in
the Senate of the United States, I heard a
Senator from one of the Northern States
regret “the deplorable ignorance of the
South” and he was one who had shown his
appreciation of the value of education by
giving his aid in making the most benighted
and ignorant masses of the South the gov
erning class there to the exclusi m of the ed
ucated and the responsible. In my estima
tion the ignorance of the North in regard
to the people of the S uth is as “deplora
ble” as any that exists anywhere.
No fair minded person who is acquainted
there, but will admit that there is as much
ot virtue, culture, refinement, and delicacy
among the ladies —and as much of intelli
gence, truthfulness, honor, and manliness
among the men of the South as can he
found in the North, however much our
prejudices may incline us so often “to that k
God that we are not a* other men” “or even
as this Southerner There is good every
where. I only wish that greater numbers
of Northern people would visit the South
and s“e and judge U>r themseves “what
manner of men” there are there, and if any
should conclude to take up their abode there
they would find a hospitable people, a gen
ial climate, and a fru tful soil. I have no
farther interest in the South than to attempt
to correct erroneous opinions, and do some
little justice in speaking of the people of
that section as I have found them. 1 have
only to add that the crops at the South are
now looking finely, and there is every
prospect of a rich harvest. The people are
quiet, hopeful, und prosperous, under the
circumstances, and hope sometime to he
recognized as having equal rights with the
rest of mankind. With the tide of emigra
tion that must flow in that direction, ns
soon as the advantages there are known
and appreciated, the South must become a
great people. If people will take the trouble
to investigate and judge for themselves.
I have no doubt the South will soon become
the home of many who wish a more con
genial climate thaD is to he found farther
north. Chas. D. Bearce.
Important to Merchants. — By decision
of tne Supreme Court on the 2d day of
February, 1870, it is held that a merchant
may de ; H in tobacco and cigars, when
these articles are kept for varieties, with
out being considered a cigar or tobacco
dealer, as contemplated in the Ilevc-nue
Act. In accordance with this decision, no
persou will he required to take out license
as a tobacco or cigar dealer, unless these
articles are his particular trade. The §ame
ruling will embrace the sale of drugs,
when sold by merchants as an incident to
a rfeneral trade.”
“ Washington,” exclaimed a member
ot a Nashville Rebating club, in stento
rian tunes, “Washington was a great man :
he was a good man ; he was a noble man ;
his mind had a powerful grasp of the fu“
ture : if ever a mar. was non compos mentis,
Washington was that man.
In China, dinner for the richest or
for the poorest consists of the same number
of courees, viz , fifty-two. The only diffi
ference is that the rich man hurries through
in a (lay, while the poor man takes his
course more leisurely—one a week.
j PRIMITIYE STOCK OF THE HORSE.
A French author who has been making
a careful study of the In r-e, in its modern
varieties, as well as of the fossil remains
fiut'd in different parts of the Old World,
i announces as his belief that eight kinds
formerly existed in Europe, Asia, and
Africa, of which certain well-known
’ modern races are the lineal descendants.
He divides them by their skulls (as many
ethnologists do those of the human race)
into the brachycepliatic and the dull hoce
j phalic , or. the short-headed and the long
headed. Os each of these he recognixcs
; four varieties. Os the first section, one
j variety belonged originally to the plateau
of Central Asia, and ha* been distributed
throughout the whole circle of the Indo
, European nations, especially by tho Goths.
In modern times it has been introduced, as
the arab race, into northern Africa ami
western Europe ; its most marked form at
| the present day being tho English ruee
: horse.
The next variety was the African horse,
a na'ivo of northeastern Africa, probably
of Nubia. This is distinguished from the
rest, among other characteristics, by having
| one lumbar vertebra less than Usual. It
! occurs nowhere in a state of purity ; hut
; was introduced into Spain and France by
the Moors and Saracens, where its modern
i forms arc known as Barbs Andalusians,
; etc.
The third variety belonged to Ireland
and Wales, where its various descendants
j are yet to he met with. Thence it was
carried to the coast of Armorica (now Brit
tany) by the Bretons; and its races are
known as the Irish pony, and the Breton
horse. The fourth Variety Was the British
horse, belonging to ancient Britain, and
now lound on both shores of the Straits of
Dover, it is known in England as the
Black hors”, the Norfolk horse, etc ; and
in France, as the Boulonnaise.
Os the dolichocephalic group the first va
riety is the German horse, originally from
the Duchi’S and tho Danish islrnds, and
represented at the present time by the va
rious kinds of German horses, the Norman
horse, the English dray-horse, etc.
The second, or Frisian variety, came
from Friesland, and is still known in Flan
ders as the Flemish horse. The third, or
Belgian horse, belonged to the valley of the
Meuse, its descendants forming the horses
of Brabant, Ilainault, Liege, etc. The
fourth and last variety is the horse of the
Seine, and its deseenants are found to the
west of Paris, the most marked race being
tne celebrated Percheron horse. Our author
apologizes for thus multiplying the varieties,
or perhaps species of horse ; hut expresses
his confident expectations of being able, in
a forthcoming work, to establish them all
as distinct, by unmistakable zoological and
other characteristics.— Harper.
Impressive Reading—The Lokd’s Pray
er.—M my years ago the incident reflated
in tbe^ Uy;-, v ‘f7 r C,;~by ’ a'*ilisfVfi
guTsffe’cf member of Congress, w hose love of
good reading, whether in the pulpit or on
the stage, amounted almost to a passion.
He was, himself, one of the best unprofes«
signal readers we ever listened to, and but
few of the most eminent divines in the land
could compare with him as an impressive
reader of the “Word,” in which among
riends, he delighted to indulge—hence
Booth’s re iding of’ the Lord’s Prayer made
an indelible impression upon his mind :
“When the elder Booth was residing in
Baltimore, a pious, urbane old gentleman
1 of that city, healing of his wonderful power
of elocution, one day invited him to dinner,
although always deprecating the stage and
all theatrical performaneo*. A large com
pany sat down at the table, and on return
ing to the drawing room, one of them asked
Booth, as a special favor to them all. to re
peat the Lord’s Prayer. He signified bis
willingness to gratify them and all eyes
were fixed upon him. He slowly and rev
erently arose from his chair, trembling
with the burden of two great conceptions.
He had to realize the character, attributes
an 1 presence of the Almighty Being, he
was Jo address. He was to transform him«-
self into a poor, benighted, needy suppli
cant, offering homage, asking bread, par
don, light and guidance. Says one of the
company who was present: “It was won
derful to w atch the play of emotions that
convulsed his countenance. He became
deathly pale and his eyes, turned trem
b'ing upwards, were wet with tears. A*
yet he had not spoken. The silence could
be felt ; it had become absolutely painful,
until at last the spell was broken as if by
an electric shock, as his rich-t n?d voice
syllulel forth. ‘Our Fa ! e”, which art in
Heaven,’ etc., with a pathos and fervid
| solemnity which thrilled all hearts. He
I finished : the silence continued : not a voice
| was heard nor a muscle moved in his rapt
i audience, until from a remote corner of the
: room, a subdued sob was heard, and the
old gentleman (the host) stepping forward
with steaming eyes and tottering frame,
seized Booth by the hand. ‘Sir,’ said he,
in broken accenfs, ‘you have afforded me
j a pleasure for which my whole future life
1 will feel grateful. I arn an old man, and
’ every day from my boyhood to the present
i time I have repeated the L rd’s Prayer ;
! but I never heard it before, never ’.’ ‘You
! are right,’ replied Booth, ‘to read that
: prayer as it should he read caused me the
severest study and labor for thir:y years,
I am far from satisfied with my rendering
of that wonderful production. Hardin one
person in ten thousand comprehends how
much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can
he condensed in a space so si ruble. The
prayer itself sufficiently illustrates the truth
of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal
of divinity.’ ”
A Phenomenon. —A Scotch lecturer un
dertook to explain to a village audience the
word phenomenon. “Maybe, my friends,
ye dinna ken what a phenomenon may he.
Well, I’ll tell ye: Wve seen a coo (cow)
na doubt. Well, a coo’s not a phenomenon.
You’ve seen an apple tree. Well, an ap
ple tree's not a phenomenon. But when
you see a coo going up the apple tree tail
foremost, to pu’ the apples, it’s a phenome
non.”
The Springfield (Massachusetts) Re
publican thinks it would be “an excel
lent thing for ths country to have two such
dead-in earnest men as Wendell Phillips
and Andrew Johu.-on in Congress.”
Cultivate Luvfe for tuf, Beautiful —-
If you wish to enjoy life --t » have a con
tented mitul—a constant j*y welling up in
your heart, overtiming in deeds of kind
ness to ydur neighbor—if you wish to fit
yourselt f*r the oorapaoy of angels iu
another world—cultivate a love tor the
beautitul. The earth is full of beau'r, and
we need but a restoration of the inward,
sense which takes cognizance of the good,
the beautiful, to preeeive it ; this we can
obtain only by cultivation. Make home
beautiful. Look at the homes of our coun
try ; how few come near the standard ! Iu
the Country, a house situated in an open
field, or on a barren hillside—no trees, no
shrubs, no 11 >wers ; externally all is dull,
gloomy, desolate—a saoritno to the god of
mam toon. How very often do wo find the
inside corresponding, uud the hearts of
the dwellers there in withering, drying up !
We love our homes notwithstanding this—
a merciful provision of the Almighty for
our happiness. How much more should
we love them if we could associate with
them thoughts ol beauty, of pleasant proa-*
peets, of the well-kept iaxvn, of the neat
walks, the shade of trees, the budding
flowers, the twining rose that almost curs
tains our windows, the honeysuckle trained
on the old porch, shutting out the burning
rays of the summer’s sun, and perfuming
the air with its fragrant odor! Such thoughts
are recalled with pleasure throughout the
journey of life—m green spot iu the mem
ory, which naught can efface. Beautify
your home, then, if not from any delight
you take in it, at least lor your childrens’
,-ake ; to them it may prove of more service
than your hoarded wealth—a cot s ant sales
grand against many of tho sins of this un
t ward generation. Scud hr's Journal of

Presence of mini>. — The following an
ecdote illustrates several things ; am »ng
others tho presence of mind of' medical
students, and the absence of ditto, some
times, in cabmen. A medical student, re
turning home late in a cab, recollected,
upon finding he had no money to jay his
fare, that he had dropped two sovereigns
at the bottom of the cab. He told tho cab
man, in an agitated manner, of his loss,
and begged of him to wait till he had got a
candle to look for them. lie went into the
hall to look for one, but while falling over
the chairs in search of a lucifer, he heard
the cab go off. He ran to the door, and, to
his astonishment, saw r the cab galloping as
fast as it could down the street. He hallo
ed, and called, and shouted, but the cabman
was so deaf that he could not hear him.
Ihe medical student, however, went quiets
ly to bed, and instead of reproaching him
self for the deception he had practised on
the cabman, laughed heartily at the in
genious way in which begot home for noth-*
ing.

a g'»rge us court dress, will be rather dis
appointed in Benjamin, fur it turns out now
that the only reason why the old printer
did nut appear decked in a stunningly em
broidered coat and all the laces and furbe
-1 >ws of his day, was that his miscreant of
a tailor and sappointed him, and he was com
pelled to go on in his character of embas
sador in the clothes lie had made for him
by a Philadelphia tailor ; and upon finding
out that his non-appearance in court dress
was attributed 4) his “republican simplici
ty,” he was shrewd enough not to disabuse
the minds of the people at court, and so
kept up the illusion, and pronably laughed
in his sleeve, when he thought of the suit
he had ordered for the occasion. It’s a

Young Men, don’t do it. — X'o, young
men, don’t do it. Pon’t marry dimples,
nor ankles, nor mouth, ncr hair, nor necks,
nor tee h, nor chins, nor simpers. Theso
bits and scraps of femininity are very poor
things to tie to. Marry the true things—
look after congeniality, kindred sympathiis,
disposition, education, and if this bo joined
with social position, or even liltliy lucre,
why don’t let them stand in your way.
Get a w oman—not one of those parlor au
tomatons that sits doan just so, thumbs on
a piano,’ and dotes on a whisper. Living
statues are poor things to call into consul
tation. The poor little mind that can
scarcely fathom the depth of a dress trim
ming, can’t be a helpmate of any account.
Don’t throw’ your time av.’ay on such tri*.
fling things.
Tiif. Devil’s Hour.— According to Vol
taire is an hour in every human being’s
life which might be called the Devii’s. It
it is posible that there is u historic moment
upon which our future for good or evil
turns, when we are more easily led astray
or into temptation than at any other time,
there must be also an hour when we are
most susceptible of a good influence, which,
if taken advantage of, leads us cut of the
thorny paths of transgression. It rests
entirely with each of us whether that period
becomes the Devil’s or God’s hour.
Woman’s Laugh. —A woman has no nat

flings showers of sunshine over the dark.,
some wood in which we are traveling ; it
touches with light even our sleep, which is
no more the image of death, but is consume
