I’m a gtumpy old bachelor,
Grizzlv and gray;
I am seven-and-forty,
If 1 am a day.
lam fussy and crusty,
And diy as a bone ;
So ladies—good ladies—
Just let me alone!
Go shake out your riuglet<,
And beam out in smiles;
Go tinkle your ringlets,
And show off hour wiles.
Bewitch and bewilder
Wherever you can;
But pray—pray, lemetrber,
I am not the inau!
I’m frozen to blushes,
I’m ptroof against eyes;
I’m hardened to Jimpois,
And stony to sighs.
Fin tought to each dart
That young Cupid can lance;
I’m dai in the market
At any advance.
I sew my own buttons,
I darn my own hose;
I keep my own counsel,
And lold my own clothes,
I mind my own business,
And live my own life ;
I Won’t—no, the dickens—
Be plagued with a wife !
And yet there’s nine spinsters
v\ ho believe me their fate;
There’s two dozen widows
Who’d cha ngo their estate’
There's silly young maidens
Who blush at my how;
All—all bent on marrying me.
No matter how;
I walk forth in trembling,
I come home in dread ;
I don’t fear my heart,
But 1 do fear my head.
My cwilest speech
is a growl and a nod ;
And that— heavtn save in !
Is “eharmi’ gly odd,”
So, ladies —dear ladies—
Just hear me, I j ray;
In the plaimest way.
My 1. gic is simple
As logic can he
If I won’t marry you,
Prny don’t marry me !
\\lint Bci'itiutt of Her.
In a little village church in u small
American country place, a small con
gregation gathered together one Sun:
day to hear the old minister preach one
ol his old sermons. .Every pew held
people well known to each other, and
who knew each other’s business. No
body there but had heard that Thotns
Benton had courted Annie Redwood,
and how a 1 was going on well, when
the two grand-fathers quartelled
about an acre of ground in a stny,
unproductive spot, and a family fend
commenced, and they were separated.
Annie was six and twenty now, and
had never had another suitor —and
Thomas had left home for good. And
the obstinate old giand-fathers sat, not
caring a whit for all the trouble they
had caused, and never feigning each
other’s trespasses, despite the fact that
they repeated the Lord’s prayer to
gether every Sunday.
Some times in summer there would
be strange boarde s trout the city in
church; but now it was winter, and
even one wondered to see a large old
woman iu a gr at plaid, old-world
looking cloak, and a lur hood, and a
deep cap border, come info church, |
and seat herself in a back pew. Who j
she was no one could guess, and why
she came *.o church with such a co'd
as she seeme i to have, was a wondet
to all. She cougited loud and
interrupting the sermon and the pray
er, and at last was seized with such a
fit of choking, that every head was
turned. She seemed to tty to rise,
but found herself unable to do so.— j
Then A' nie R dwood, leaning toward
her mother, whispered :
"I.’s a shame People ought to he
more Chrisciau-ltke in their conduct.
I’ll go and help her out.”
Then she arose and went softly
down the aisle, and bent over the old
la ty and whispered something, on
which the poor old soul arose and
took her arm, .nd they went out of
church together. The coughing was
heard outsile for a moment or two,
but the services went ou as before,
and no one wondered that Aunte Red
wood diil not return.
The fatuity expected to find her
when they reached home, ot cour.-e;
but she was not there. She d:d not
coate in to dinner, nor did she come
to tea. Bv evening much alarm wits
felt, and it quirtes were made, but
without avail. No one had seen tho
girl since she left the church doors.
There was a Suuday iraiu to a largo
city, and a man kept watch at tho
j station all the dt, l y. lie, seeing fewer
passengers on Sunday than at any
other time, had noticed them all.
: The old woman in the plaid cloak had
come to the station, but Miss Red.
wood was not wit i Iter.
A young man spoke to the old lady
—nay, she had his atm—hut he might
have been a stranger who was assist
ing Iter. No one could tell.
the old lady could not bo traced
a'ter tha’, and nothing more was
beard of Annie Redwood.
Many thought the old woa an was
some dreadful person iu disguise, who
had murdered Annie for the handsome
watch and ring she wore. Then, too,
she had quite a li.tle sum in her
pocket; for she had had money left
her by an aunt, and was not depend
ent on her fathat’s gifts iff pocket
money, as the oth r girls were
The woods were searched, the ponds
dragged, but in vain ; and the pour
girl was at last given up for lost.
The old people had been very cruel
to her about Thomas; now they shed ;
bitter and unavailing tears. How
much better would it have been to lot
Annie marry and have her still with
them! -
The old grandfathers shook hands
for the first time fur years. The fami
lies wore recvtnciled; hut Annie was
g.ne, and Thomas was gone, aud
what was the t.se ?
“II only I knew what became of
my girl,” sighed Mrs. Redwood.
“Ali, yes, and If I knew' my boy
was ali\e,” said Mrs. Benton.
They were all very sad, hut good
country pe< pie never stay away from
church fur that.
Sundayafter Sunday they met with
sad faces, and the black garments
they had put on.
And a year passed ; and it was the
day that Annie had disaptpeared;
arid they had all gone ao'.'usual, and
were going homeward.
Mrs. Redwood was in tears
“l think of Annie all day to-day,”
she said. “Oh! it is m re than I can
boar. Who w >.s that o ! 1 woman?
What did she do to my girl?”
’“Oh 1 mother! there she is!”
cried one of thedaughters.
Ali looked. Before them on the
road tottered a large figure iu a plaid
cloak, coughing violently The same
old woman, no doubt. But who sup
ported her? Who —
“Good Heaven! is it a ghost ?”
screamed Mrs. Redwood. “What is
it? Oh ! what is it?”
“Annie!” screamed the girls to
gether; and screaming, and sobbing,
regardless of what any might think of
them, thoy surrounded the pair.
It was Annie, alive, and holding
fast to the arm of the old woman she
hail helped out of church just a year
before.
“Don’t question me on the road,”
she said. “Let us go home.”
And glad and angry, and a little
terrified, the Bentcns and the Red
woods entered the Redwood home
stead, and closed the door on intru
d ars.
“We thought you Annie!”
sobbed the moths?. “Oh, you have
been cruel !”
‘ But I see my death has reunited
you all,” said Annie, returning the
embrace. “All hero but Tom.”
“Oh, poor Tom !” said his mother,
“If he wore only here, too !”
“But I must have an explanation,”
cried Mr. Redwood, turning upon the
old woman. “Who are you, madam ?
And what life has my daughter led
with you?
“A happy one, 1 hope, sir,” said tho
old tvu , an, tossing ot her bonnet and
throwing off bet cloak; and before
them stood a tail young man —Thom-
as Benton, and no other. Who said :
“In this disguise I ran away with
Annie a year ago. We changed cos- I
tumos in the church p rch, and so
got safely off Now we are here

It wus Annies mother who said

A youth refused to take a pil’.
Ilis cralty mother thereupon secretly
placed the pill iu a preserved pear,

“Tummy have you eaten the pea."?

From the Shreveport (Lit.) Times.
Mr. Courtney, deputy sheriff of Do-
Soto Parish, on last Monday or Tues
day arrested William Lungley, a v try
desperate character, who is wanted in
'texas for many high-handed outrages
he has committed in that State. He
murdered his last victim in Lee county,
where he was well know and feared
as a bad man and a remarkably good
shot with either pistol or rifle. For
some time he was confined in the
count} jail of Lee, but subsequently
made his escape and tied to Louisiana,
settling iu De Bo‘.o Parish, where he
; has been living quietly ami peaceably
for nearly two years under an assumed
; name of Jackson. The sheriff of Lee
' county learning of Lungley’s where
abouts wrote to the sheriff of Do Soto
Parish, giving a full description of
the man and the crime he had last
committed, and cautioned him to use
every p-ocaution lor his capture, as
he or some of the posse might possibly
lose their lives Soon everything was
quietly and systematically arranged
for his capture. Mr. Courtney md a
small posse went into the neighbor
hood where their man was living,
and before he was aware of what was
going on they suddenly came upon
him m the field plowing and unarmed,
taxing him completely by surprise.—
Lungley immediately realized what
was up, and seeing that he had no
possible chance of escape, gracefully
surrendered, saying; “Gentlemen, 1
know what you want; you are after
William Langley. I am tiro mart.”
Mr. Courtney infoimed him that he
had guessed correctly, and produced
the warrant for his arrest. Lungley,
after being well secured, said he might
as well make a clean breast of it, us it
would be the last of him wheu he
reached Texas, and confessed to th
killing of thirty-two tnen, and said he
came near killing a man two days be
fore his ane.-t and wished he had
done it, as it would have saved him
from being captured. During his
residence in PeSoto Palish he con
ducted himself in a most quiet aud
gentlemanly manner, and none of his
neighbors for a moment suspected
him of being the bloodthirsty villian
that lie is. After Lungley’s delivery
to the Texan sheriff he invited Mr.
Courtney and his posse to come and
see him hanged.
Good Words About Women.
“There are but two fine things in
the world,” says Malherbe, “women
and roses.” Lessing exclaims: “Wo
men is the masterpiece of the universe.”
Bourdon says; “The pearl is the im
age of purity, butt woman is purer
than the peail.” Thackeray writes:
“A good woman is the loveliest flower
that blooms under heaven.” Balzac
says; “Even the ertors of women
spring from her faith in the good.”—
Voltaire declares: “All the reasoning
cf men ate not worth one sentiment
of woman.” Lamartine asserts that
“women have nitre heart imagination
than men.” O try exe'nims; “Oh,
women! lovely women! Nature made
thee to temper. Wo had been brutes
without you.” To which Mark Iwain
adds: “But for you we should fie noth
ing, for we should not be hero.’

A Huge Lie.
Lord Macaulay said, that a than
who had never been in tha tropics
could have no conception of a huri
cane ; that a man who had never seen
Niagara could not know anything ot
a cataract,; and that a man who had
never read the writings of Bartre (a
Frenchman) could have no conception
of a lie.
Macaulay had, evidently not read
the following, which we copy frt m an
Alabama paper, in reference to a wild
man,
‘ People had been seeing his tracks
for seveial ’weeks—they measured
thiity-four inches in length and toi r
tesn in breadth, and he stepped over
sevon rows of cotton at each stride
Several hundred men and (logs gath
ered for the purpose of capturing him,
and did find and capturo him by run
ning him up a ravine, in which they
penned bi n. They bound him, and he
remained quiot until they took his
measurement, which showed him to
be twenty-one feet and three inches
in height and six feet and eight inches
across his shoulders. After the meas
urement he deliberately and easily
burst his fetters and took to flight
again—neither the and gs nor the men
cariug to follow him further. He
trossod the river near Bollefonte, and
struck out tor Sand Mountain.”
Daiien Gazette fOn Fiiday morning
last Capt. Clancy, one of tho pil its of
our port, went out in his skiff, accom
panied by John Sutler, a young mm
from the ridge, and a colored man
named Saul, for tho purpose of board
ing any inward bound vessel. During
the afternoon they fell in with and se
cured a schooner. Capt. Clancy hoar
ded her, leaving tho others in the skiff
to return to his quarters on Wolf Is
land. Sutton tells us that the ca;-
tain had not left them over halt an
hour wheu the squall, which wo a 1
remember, struck them capsizing tho
boat, throwing both of them out and
apart. Saul called to Sutton advising
him to hold on to tho boat, but Sut
ton replied, “Quit the boat or you’ll
be drowned,” at the same time shov
ing him three oars aud the stern seat
of the fioat, keeping two oars and a
sail himself. Ail this while Sutton
was endeavoring to divest himself of
his c'othing, Which at last ho succee
ded in doing. When about ten yards
from each other, lie says he sow Saul
suddenly laiso his arm aloft and go
down, and he thinks from the suddefi
nosa of the movement one of those
monster sharks, so numerous there
abouts, must have struck him He
saw him no more, and upon his disap
pearance, he at once struck out for
an old wreck about two miles distant,
which lie reached by nightfall in
safety but as one may iinaginoin avery
uncomfortable condition from tho exer
tion of swimming so far an 1 a night in
the open air on the open sea with no
other oovering than the salt spray.—
Having remained bn the wreck until
twelve (12) o’clock on Sunday all
prospects of help out of his awful sit
uation Seeming hopeless, tio nerfred
himself for a final venture —an effort
to reach the shore —ever, though ho
must cross the noted feeding place of
the sharks. It seemed but a choice
between deal 1 s —death by cold aud
starvation, or death by those horrible
sea-monsters. Yet there was a hope
of e-cape, and God mercifully blessed
that effort, and permitted him, after
another two miles switr, fo land in
safety, though perfectly exhausted, on

Saudcrsville Georgians Mr. Bryant
Watkins, o’ e of our good paying sub
scribers, has a Corn field of seven
acres about which we hnve hoard such
seemingly extravagant statement of
its probable yield of 500 bushels, &c.,
called at our office on Saturday and
from him we elicited the following in‘
teresting facts: Mr. Watkins, thirty
years ago, bought 113 acres of iaod,
part of the sottlmfeiit he now own?,
for $150; two years before the land
was sold at sherifi’s Si\d for $75. The
truct was considered so poor that some
of liis neighbors asked him if be really
thought he couid support his large
fatin' yon such a place. But bis suc
cess lias justified his decision. When
Mr. Watkins first measured the corn
on a field of seven acres, U| on which
he bestowed especial care, the yield was
42} bushels p°r acre; the next year
the yield w ts 52 bushels per acre; tha
third year was 78 bushels'; the fourth
year it there was a remarkable drouth
and he ouly realized 50 bushels; the
fifth year he gathered from one acre
7G bushels, (he three best acres yi£sd
ed 217} bushels. For four years he
has taken the premium at our district
fair. He thinks his seven acres will
at least yield 400 bushels this year.
This shows what well directed labor
with judicious feitilizing can do upon
poor land. Why may not every far
