Tlie Snake Grass.
A British sportsman tells the following lu
dicrous tale of his first experience in gunning
io this country. He had hired a black, Apollo,
to show him where to find woodcocks.
On entering the covert I soon found the use
of Apollo’s thick jacket. Never, in all my ex
perience, had I seen anything to equal the
denseness of this thicket, or the size and sharp
ness of the thorns. My gauze like coat was
soon in ribbons, my eyes nearly blinded, and
tny face in streams of blood. This, added to
the almost overpoweting heat made my posi
tion anything but agreeable, particularly as we
had not as yet seen a single cock in near hall
an hour’s beat.
Apollo glided about, peering into the trees
in a most extraordinary manner, as I thought;
and I was upon the point of asking him if we
could not find some more open spot, when I
found something strike me on the face. Al
most blinded by the blow, I put up my hand ;
a cry of horror escaped tne ; I found 1 had
grasped the cold coils of an enormous black
snake, which was hanging from a tree over
my head.
Apollo looked round, gave a low chuckle,
and was proceeding onward, when I called on
him for mercy’s sake to stop.
•Ya! ya! ya I laughed the old wretch;’iut
only poor black snake.’
• Only black snake!’ said I, my flesh creep
ing with horror; *1 did not know there were
anv snakes in this part of the country.’
No snakes, massa? Why urn chock full
of snakes dis swamp ; iin full of copper heads.
We nebber come into swamp wid ut de tick
boots cause if copper bite um, im dead man,
sar. Dare, massa ! look under dat sltutnac
bush, just by you poot; dare one tunderiug big
chap.’
Nearly deprived of motion by fear, I saw
close to my foot the venomous reptile.
• Let us leave this dreadful place, Apollo,’
said I.
• What before we find de woodcock, sar?’
• Confound the woodcock! snid I, now losing
al) patience, and determined, if possible, to
put an end to my disagreeable situation.
As soon aa we got out of the woods, I dis
missed my guide, and with my dogs, undertook
w* bs*t vovoo opon fields,in which I m«hi found
plenty of qa.il. '
The fields being fresh mown there was no
Jay for the birds, but to my satisfaction I saw
that the quail mostly flew to a piece of long
grass in the meadows which was left unmown.
Having accomplished my undertaking, I en
tered the grass, which was thick and up to my
waist. Qua/after quail arose, and as often
fell to my gun, and I became so elated with my
success that all thought of pain, fatigue, black
snake, or copper head, was gone; and though
I did now and then hear a rustling in the glass
which ma le me start when I picked up a shot
bird, I was much tdo delighted to head such
trifles My pockety were getting heavy, and I
Was in the centre of the grass when I heard a
shout from a hill at some distance, and looking
up saw a person who by his gesture appeared
to be in the highest state of excitement.
Now I had hitherto always found it to be
the best practice, when challenged afaroff by
enraged farmers or their servants as a trespas
ser, to be both blind and deaf until the persecu
tors approach during which time one may make
off or feign ignorance of any improper inten
tions. The sport at this time was too good,
and cost too much labor, to be too easily giv
en up; and although 1 heatd the farmer hol
lowing at the top of his voice, and saw him
running us fast as his legs could carry him, I
still continued shooting. At last he was near
enough to make himself heard.
‘Halloa ! there, you tarnation fool, come out
of that long grass.’
*O yes’ thought I, ‘seed ground very likely,
but hie on good dogs, we may get u brace of
birds before his short legs can reach us.’
‘Come out of that long grass!’again rang in
tny cars.
‘Not till I cant help it, my lad* thinks I, ‘Hie
on there ; we have a dozen covics, if we have
one in this piece of stuff yet.’
‘Oh! you cantancarous varment 1 Come out
of that long grass!
Tub enemy is close upon us. One shot
more, and then to close quarters.
‘By the etarnal ! be you mad, or be you
deaf?’ cried the man now at the edge of the
grass, and in an agony of excitement; ‘due

thoughts.
out, come out, df that long long grass
or by the etarnal you’re a gone sucker. Al
mighty smash, don’t you know that’s my snake
grass 7 Come out you tarnation fool.’
‘Snake grass,’said I in a low tone, raising
myself on tiptoe, and standing on the very
smallest space of ground. -Snake grass, sir ;
what’s snake grass 7’
‘Come out I say, and if you get out without
death in your carcass—which by the immortal
pumkin, I rather think you never will—l’ll tell
you what snake grass is.’
Trembling, I crept out of the grass, and ap
proached the farmer who stood wiping the per
apiration from his head.
•Well,’said he, ‘1 have heard te'l on darned
fools that go on bird-hunts, but may I be ab
quatilated etarnally if I ever thought a fellow
was fool enough to go into a piece of Jarsay
snake grass after a poor miserable quail.’
‘Pray sir what do you mean by snake
gras* ?’
‘Not know what snake grass is ? Well I
might have seen by your out’ards that you
wasn’t of this location. But don’t you know
these here clerings are chockful of varmint
snakes 7 When we mows we leaves apiece
of long grass for the tarnation reptiles to go
into, and when the grass gets dry, you see we
sets fire to it, and burns all the venomous
varmints, and so makes kifid of a clearance of

I seed you in my long grass—which ought to
be chockfull of coppers--I thought you must
be ago ne sucker ; and how on arth you es
caped is beyond nil, and that’s a fact.’
I felt sick and faint and leaned upon my gun
for support. My had been miraculous.
Thanking the farmer for his kindness in
warning me of danger, and declining his in
vitation to partake of refreshment at his abode,
I made the best of my way to Colonel Oba
diah’s.
The Cow and the Pig.—By a law of Mas
sachuaelts, one cow and one pig are exempt
from attachment, and various attempts have
been made by creditors to get that cow and
pig when no other property was to be found.
The Barre Gazette gives an account of one of
these attempts, w hich proves that, if the debt
or has his eyes open, the law is ratber a diffi
cult one to evade:
A creditor in a town, in that vicinity had
often cast a longing eye into a pig-pen of one
ot his debtors, where was a fino lat “ pig”
just ready for the operation of the butcher.
He held an execution, which the hog would
just about satisfy, but the law forbade him to
take the only pig. In this dilemma he went to
the debtor, and with pretended commiseration
for his poverty, offered him one of a ]iater of
Sne pigs, with which his own pen had lately
been replenished. The debtor with much gra
titude, accepted the generous offer. The little
squeaker was turned in with the fat grunter,
and the creditor, after admiring the contrast,
started in pursuit of an officer to attach one of
the two swine which the debtor now had. But
the debtor wasttot asleep, and quietly jerking*
his thumb after the retreating Grabali, he hast
ened to his house, and obtaining the well
whetted kntie, pulled over old grunter as quiet
ly as he could, and drew out his life-blood.
When the joyo s creditor returned with the
sheriff, the well-dressed hog was converted in
to pork, and as “ provision for tbo family,”
was also exempt from attachment! the cie
ditor turned away with a tear hi his eye, reck
oning the loss of his nice little pig at the end
of his previous debt.—[Star in the West.

up"

Anthony's Shoals Factory.
We are indebted to an intelligent friend,
who is interested in this new enterprise, for
the following facts connected with its history,
character, and progress :
The Broau River Manufacturing Company
is the name of an association of gentlemen for
the purpose of spinning yarns and weaving
sheetings and shirtings, and is now going into
operation.
Their factory is a handsome brick building,
80 by 50 feet, 4 stories high, inducing attic,
and was constructed by Messrs. Demerest &
Atkinson. It is capacitated to contain 2500
spindles and 100 looms. The Company have
ut present only 1584 spindles and 18 looms,
but intend filling the house with additional
looms and spindles as soon as advisable.
The location of this factory is on Broad
River, at Anthony’s iShoals, in Elbert County,
five miles above its confluence with the Sa
j vaunah at Petersburg. The machinery was
made by the Matteaward Company, N. Y.,
and in point of workmanship and style of fin
ish cannot be surpassed, and more than fulfils
the most sanguine expectations of the Stock
holders. It is propelled by an overshot wheel,
and drums anu belts. The wheel is 16 by 14
feet, and was constructed by Hugh Wilson,
of Abbeville District, S. C. The head and
fall of water being 20 feet.
John Hastings, Jun., of Pennsylvania is
the sole agent and manager of this factory.
Address him at Anthony’s Shoals P. O. El
bert County, Georgia.
Mr. Hastings is a gentleman of great and
varied acquirements, being well versed and of
long experience in the various branches of
cotton manufactures, under whose manage
ment the Company confidently look or satis
factory profits. Os the great and abundant
water p >wer so peculiarly possessed by Geor
gia and South Carolina, but few locations'll ave
greater advantages than Anthony’s Shoals,
and none where for so small a sum, the water
can be used four times. Broad River after
thejuuction of its North and South forks, runs
for thirty miles through a rich and beautiful
basin, not making
Shoals at the ftb'ids,
where in the early throes of nature it seems
to have burst its win through hillsand runs
into the Savannah, making at Anthony’s
Shoals a fall of 90 feet in the distance of a
mile and a half. These Shoals interrupt the
navigation of the river, but boats run from the
head of the Sboats 30 miles above, and from
the foot 60 miles to Augusta.
The improvement ot this water power has
been commenced with an eye to the final pas
sage of boats around the Shoals bv canal and
locks. The Dam that raises the water for the
present factory is short but well constructed ot
stone and timber; the canal is 20 feet wide ai
bottom and 35 at top, and 450 yards long, turn
ing water enough for 20,000 spiudlcs, and ma
king a fall of 20 feet, and constitutes what is
called the first level in the plan of the improve
ment.
The second level is to be made by receiving
a dun from the bank of the river 120 feetbing
to an island, forming a pond that will receive all
the water of the first level, and as much more
in the river between the main land and island;
from this second pond the canal of the second
level will commence and ran on a few hundred
yards until a fall of 20 feet is obtained. There
another Dam will be constructed in the river to
receive the water of the second level and as
much more as is desirable to be taken from the
river making the third pond, from which a
canal wi'l be constructed making the third lev
el; which also will be constructed m ike a r all
of 20 feet—there also a dam is to be c nstruct
ed, from which a canal making the 4th level
will start. Thus constructing 4 short canals
whose combined length is le-s than 1} miles
and overcoming upwards of 80 feet fall by
■4 double locks. The first level containing
water enough for 20,000 spindles, while each
succeeding one below will have all the water
of the one above, and as much more as need
be taken from the river, and using ke water 4
times.
By this method of improvement which can be
entirely finished, (including locks to pass boats
from level to level,) for $10,000; the water
power at Anthony’s Shoalscan be made loturn
as many spindles as are in the State of Massa
chusetts.
Tins location is on a navigable river 18 I
miles from Washington, Georgia, vei capita! Sts
there are talking seriously of erecting Steam
Mills.
[From the Daily Telegraph.]
Ma. Editor —l beg a corner of your sheet
to express tho-feelings of gratification that 1
have lately felt on visiting a South Carolina
Cotton Factory. I allude to Granitevi le, a
new establishment just put in operation in
Edgefield District.
Three years ago, all around there was a
wilderness of poor, uncultivated land, with a
small but durable stream tumbling over the
lowest chain of granite rock in the Slate, in a
wild w aste of useless water.
Now the stream is substantially dammed,
and the water brought down in a canal about a
mile, forming a 40 foot head. Here stands
the Factory, 350 feet long, and 50 feet wide, 2
stories high, and built of solid blue granite,
dressed in blocks, forming one of the baud
somest buildings in the South.
This is to contain 9,245 spindles, when all
in operation, with 300 looms, which will be
enough to weave all the yarn. This will con
sume 10 bales of Cotton a day, and turn out
10 to 12,000 yards of 30 and 36 shirting and
drilling, and require 300 operatives.
By the arrangement of the machinery, the
Cotton comes in upon a railway from the store
house into the pickers room at one end, and
goes out cloth at the other, and is taken into
another store house, all in the same yard, but
detached from each other to make all more se
cure against fire.
Most of the machinery is now in operation
by “ raw hands,” from the piny woods popu
lation, under charge of experienced overseers, I
and working mostly by the job, or piece price, I
and average $3 a week all round, including j
men, girlsand boys.
The village contains beside the factory and >
store bouses, 83 dwellings, a hotel, saw mill,
school house, and two of the neatest little Go
thic churches ever built.
Taken altogether, I venture to assert that a
more beautiful manufacturing village cannot
be found in the world.
The machinery is all of the latest improved
kind, and seems more like things of lite, than
dumb engines.
The whole establishment, operatives inclu
ded, is a pattern of cost, in
cluding 90U0 acres of land, and another mill
site, has been $300,000.
It is not only worthy a visit from every gen
tleman who feels an it terest in the prosperity
of South Carolina, but is especially worthy the
notice of every traveller like myself, who is
or may be among you, “ spying out the land.”
Three miles above Graniteville, is the old
“ Vauclttse Factory,” owned and conducted
by Gen. Janies Jones, a very genii, manly and
enterprising Sputli Carolinian, whom 1 am
pleased to learn is meeting with descrv d suc
cess in his business.
I will give the public some items at my ear
liest leisure, that will tend to show ti at the
manufacturing spirit that is just now budding
into bloom in the South, will soon produce a
golden fruit. Seutli Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama are all in the field.
I wish some of my Northern brethren could
have been with me during my lougjourneyings
this winter, not only to see the capabilties of
the South to do her own manufacturing, but
that they might have seen the actual workings
of that system of labor that they are so blind
ly warring against—a system that brings more
comfort and contented happiness to the work
ing class who are most affected, than I have
ever seen among any other class of laborers,
black or white, in any other part of the United
States.
1 have no time here to enlarge upon this
subject, but I hope to live to be able to give mv
testimony upon all proper occasions, truthfully,
upon this subject.
It is but proper that I should remark before
closing, that my extended tour through all the
Southern States is purely an Agricultural one.
I may be known tosome'wf your readers as
a correspondent ot the “American Agricul
turist,” published in New York, by A. B. Al
len, and it is tn that character that I am now
travelling, and in rhe hope of being able to dis
seminate some nsetul information, while learn
ng many things that may tend to make the
North and South better acquainted than they
now are. I am, most respectfully, &c.

Never Despair.
When storms arise,
And whirlwinds sweep,
And darkness shrouds
The rolling deep;
Then, Tempest-tost, we seek afar
The beacon’s steady glare,
With rapture hail the welcome star,
While hope succeeds despair.
Thus, when dark clouds
Hang on our life,
And long we wage
Unequal strife;
O, never yield, but onward press :
Still boldly do and dare ;
It never makes our troubles less,
By yielding to despair.
What if our first
Strong efforts fail ?
One trial more
May e’en prevail;
Remember Bruce and Tamerlane,
And still misfortune bear ;
And failing once, why try again—
But nevermore despair.
Hard is the fate
Os those who find
No sympathy
Among mankind ;
Time brings po solace for their grief,
Life seems no longer fair ;
But even those find no relief
Whenever they despair.
Strive to do right,
And never cease,
And hope and joy
Will find increase;
Perchance thy soriows may be healed,
Banished afar each care ;
Strive with thy fate—but never yield
Before the demon of despair.

Shopping.
Shopping is a business, and all who buy
should understand it. Selling, of
flore important business than
and retail jobbing merchants, are
supposed th understand the component parts
of an article, its price, duties paid on it, and
the relative price it should bring. There is
some difference of opinion, however, as to the
mode and manner of retailing in fancy .s'ores.
An advertisement in an Albany pap, r, contains
the following Visitors at the Ladies Ex
change, will be served by gentlemanly clerks,
und never urged to buy." We have no objec
tions to “gentlemanly clerks,” both in ap
pearance and in manners, and we care not how
much civility and courtesy they nse in the way
of their profession, but we do protest against
the avowal, that visitors are “never urged to
purchase.” The very object tn keeping a
store, would be destroyed in carrying oat this
doctrine. Those goods which a shop-keeper
will not recommend, are supposed by the visi
tor, not to be worth purchasing, so that his de,
licate scruples are placed to the wrong ac
count. Besides, many ladies who go shopping,
are not supposed to be familiarly acquainted
with the value and quality of every article they
desire; much is left to the taste and fairchat
acter of the store-keeper, and if he is mum in
relation to hts ow’n goods, and withholds his
own judgment, where is he to get custom
from 7 Let us test this practically. A lady
asks to see silk for a dress: she is shown se
veral patterns, asks the price; she is some
what puzzled how to choose; the clerk is mum;
she has not read the last Paris fashions, and
knows not what are the fashionable colors;
the clerk is mum, will the colors last—is itnot
too thin—is it sufficiently firm 7 or in calicaes,
will it wash, —will the colors run 7—how 4iali
a decision, a judgment be made up 7 Sh» is
alone, with no one to consult, no one to advise,
and the clerk is miim. Such a course wrtuld
bankrupt any store keeper, fashionable oi un
fashionable. Let us look at the other side of
the question, and see the force of a fair Ind
just recommendation. “ Allow me to re
commend this siik to you, madam—we have it
by the last arrival—it is highly fashionable in
Paris, and we have but little left of it. 'The

in this which ought to be avo d <1 7 We shovld

should recommend their goods, but urge cts
tomers who want them to purchase; they do
nothing more in this than relying upon the n

judgment, and the result of their experience,
in giving to their customers the benefit of that
judgment and experience in making indispen
sable purchases. Our store-keepers generally
understand this; a reasonable urgency, a fair
recommendation, a candid opinion, a livitg

indispensable in store-kee ing.
Bold Stroke for A Husband. —A wor
thy farmer, living in a country village in
France, and a widower, was recently aroused
at midnight by the barking of a dog. Otten
deavoring to quiet the dog, he found him unu
sually agitated, whereupon the farmer took his
gun and went out to look into the cause.—All
at once lie saw a horrid phantom rise up be
hind the hedge clothed in a white sheet.—He
turned quite pale, and his limbs shook with dis
may. At length he picked up sufficient cour
age to ejaculate—
“lf you are from Heaven, speak ! If from
the devil vanish !”
“Wretch excl timsJ!” the phantom, “I am
your deceased wife, come from the grave to
warn you not to marry Maria , to whom
you are making love. She is unworthy to
share my bed. The only woman to succeed
me is Henrietta B Marry her, or per-
secution and eternal torment shall be your por
tion.”
This strange address from the goblin, in
stead of dismaying the farmer, restored his
courage. He accordingly rushed on bis
gha-tly vi-itor, and stripping oft’ the sheet,
discovered the fair Henrietta B herself,
looking excessively foolish. It is said that
the farmer admuing the girl’s trick, had the
bans published for his marriage with iter.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way ;
But to act that each to-morrow
Finds us further than to-day.

In the bivouac o( life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle—
Be a hero in the strife.
