Which ii a county of reo hills find stones ;
And he lived pretty much by gittin’ of ln*wa
And hie mules was nothin’ but akin and bones,
And hie hogs was flat as his com.bied pones,
And he had T>out a thousand acres o' land.
Tfei* man—which his name it also Jones—
Be aware the* he’d leave them eld red hills and

For he oouldn’t make nothin’ but yallerish cotton,
Apd little o’ his fences was rotten,

And dinged if a living was in the land.
Aqd the longer be swore the madder he got,
And he rix and he walked to the stable lot.
And be hollered to Tom to come there and hitch,
Fur to emigrate somewhar wliar land wa* rich,

And » wastin’ ther time ou the cussed land.

And be bantered Brown fur to buy b|s place,
Aud said thar beidg as money was skace,
And bein’ as sheriffs was hard to fsoo,
Two dollars an acie would get the land.
They closed at a dollar gnd fifty penis,
And Jones he bought him a jtagiu arid tents,
And loaded his corn, his wimminaud truck.
And he moved to Texas, which it tuck
His entire pile with tfio best of luck
'to git fcbar and git biin a little land.
Arid lie rol led Tjpkw breeches and bared his arm.
And He flicked all the rocks from off u the grouu’
And he rooted it rip and he plowed it down,
Then he sowed his corn and wheat in the land*
Five years glid by, and Brown one day,
(Which he’d got so fat that he wouldn’t weigh,)
Was a eettiu down, sorter lazily,
To. the bulliest dinner you ever did see.
When one o’ the children jumped on his knee,
And said : Yau’6 Jones, which you boughs fife
laud.
And thar was Jones, atandin* out at fbe fence,
And he hadn’t no wagin’ nor ibuleo, nor touts,
FUr fie had loft Texas afoot and bum
To Ohorgy to see if he coritdri’t get Plim

As |f fie had never owned any land.
Mat Brown hoaxed him, and he sot
Him down to his vitte's smbkiu’ hot,
And when be bad filled hisselfand the floor «
Brown looxed at him sharp and riz and swore
That “whether men’s land was rich or poor,
Thar was more in the man than thar was in the
land.’’

And eeid as he worked on a log,

Death from a Fit of Laughing.—A Bremen t
last Saturday,_Mr. Newsbaum while taking a lot
of misrell&neous articles from his wagon, caught
hbld of a green cowhido and jerked R jjfrom the
vehicle in such a uanner as he excite the risibil
ities of bystanders. Among the number was a
man named Jacob Metausplah, whoj laughed so
heartily and continually as to attract the attention
of his companions, and soon they saw that he be
gan to spit blood profusely. -In a few min
utes the blood issued from his mouth in such
quantities as to alarm his companions, and he
was taken into a house, where efforts were made
to stop the flow of blood. But the man’s time had
had come and in 'fifteen minutes from the time
he commenced bleeding he was corpse, the doctoi
decided that ir was a das** ol hemmorrage of tho

A Brave Beginning.— The very large rna
jority by which the House of Representa
tives abolished the duty on salt and coal a
day or two ago, proves that ‘the sceptre has
departed from Judah/ New England des
potism in American legislation is coming
to an end. True the hill just passed ip*
eludes but two articles, but still it is a test
cf .sentiment, of the relative strength of
protection and revenue reform, and may be
regarded as the forerunner of general and
decided anti-high tariff legislation to be
enacted at an early day; The time has
come when forty millions of people will
cea3e to pay tribute to the insolent monops
lists of the Eastern States. The decree has
gone forth, and the supremacy of New Eng
land influence at Washington is doomed.

European V\ ar —The Petersburg (Virgi

| that paper, dated New Orleans, March 7th
as follows :
Dear Sin—Your favor of the 27th ultimo,
has been received. I had seen in tho news'-
papers the report of tny being in France to
Assttma command of part of the French ar*
my, but I did not vliink it of suflleieut ini*.
portance to the public to dc»ny the report,
and to st3te that I have not been absent
from the United States since 1860.
Being of french origin (iny ancestors
having emigrated fiom France to Louisiana
over a century ago,) my sympathies wire
with the French in their late war with Ger*.
many; but not being ‘an rflicer do fortune*
(a military adventufer,) Ldid-not feel called
upon to offer m)' services iu a struggle in
which I was not directly or,, iudircctly in\
terested. Moreover, it might have appeared
rather presumptuous on the part of an ex--
Confederate officer to suppose that he could
be of much service to a nation reprtqnted
have the beat officers and soldiers iu the
world.
After the fall of Sedan and Metz, which
enabled the Germans to concent rat tlnir
forces against gallant Paris, the fate of
France appeared settled. To continue the
struggle after the surrender ol Paris, when
all the German armies could be employed
in overrunning the whole of France, do--
stroying all her resources, would simply lie
suicidal. She had better make a virtue of
necessity, gird her loins, submit to her hard
fate, and looking to her history from the
days of Charlemagne, pul her hopes in the
future.
I remain yours,
most truly,
T. G. Beauregard.

den mental emortion cap sendftoo much
blood to the brain; or too great mental ex -
citement docs the same thing. It is the
essential nature-of all wines and spirits to
send an increased amount of blood to the
braitp
The first effect of taking a glass of wine
or stronger form of alcohol is to send the
blood there faster than common, hence it
quickness the circulation, that gives a ned
f£ce; it increases (he activity of the brain,
and it works faster, does the tongue.
But as Iho blood goes to the brain faster
than common, it returns faster, and no spe
cial permanent harm results. But suppos
ing a man keeps on drinking, the blood is
sent to the brain so much faster, in such
large quantities that in order to make room
for it the arteries have to enlarge them*
selves; they increase in size, and in doing
so press against the more yielding flaccid
veins, which carry ihe blood from the brain,
and thus diminish their size, their borec;
the result being, the blood is not only car*
ried to the arteries of the brain faster than
is natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual; hence a
double seat of cause of death are set in op
eration. Hence a man may drink enough
brandy or other spirit in a few hours or
even minutes to bring on a fatal attack of
apoplexy; this is literally being dead drunk.

theatre men that a certain preacher had
said that most of the -respectable people

than go to the theatre. The actor pulled out

The Next Cottoh Crop. —Speaking of
tho next cotton crop the New Orleans Pic**
ayano says.
We have closely examined our country
exchanges for the last three or font weeks
to ascertion the intentain of the planters
with regard to the next cotton crop. From
nearly every section of South the reports
agree in stating that the acreage under
cotton will be largely reduced this spring.
In some districts it is said not half as much
cotton Will be planted as was last season.
On the whole, we may safety estimate from
twenty-fire to forty per cent, reduction in
acreage.
Planters How fully realize the folly of
their action last season in entirely neglec
ting food crops. They have paid pretty
dearly for their experience, and the cotton
crop of the South well henceforth be kepi
