BROTHER, TAKE MLJf ARM.
‘When grief is heavy on thee,
Or dismal fears alarm,
Theo. brother, lean on me—
My brother take my arm,
. There’s many a load of trouble
That taketh two to hear,
v Where one would bend quite double
Beneath, the heavy care. <
,'lf malice, in its rancor.
Ha 9 sought thy mortal harm,
“‘My shoulder be thine anchor^—
, My brother, take my arm.
Though all, in time of trial,
May turn their eye 9 away,
Kay, brother, no denial,
My arm shall be thy stay.
*1 f grief were mine to-morrow,
A grief that nought could charm,
*l’d cry, in all my sorrow,
‘O, brother, give thine arm !’
‘Ay! let me feel another.
Will weep with me in woe;
brother, yea, a brother,
‘May all know!
THERE IS EIGHT.
There's light beyond the mountains,
There’s peace beyond the vail,
‘There’s hope beyond the breakers,
Which swelletb with a wail.
’There’s love beneath the shadows
Os that dark heaving breast.
‘There are swift eagles scaling
The icy mountain's crest.
There’s good within the evil,
As the diamond in its crust,
There are flowers iu the desert—
Life springeth from the dust.
There’s beauty in the hovel,
There ate angels in disguise,
>v Neath the rags nnd the tatters,
To sparkle in the skies.
v
There’s everything to cheer us,
And nothing f.a withdraw
*Our confidence in Heaven,
And the ‘Great Spirit's’ law.
’Then we'll rest i‘n assurance
That an end soon will come,
’ ‘To life’s cares and its troubles
In our bright Spirit borne,
‘Where the golden blaze of glory
On hosts of Angel forms,
Shall beautify their graces,
And heighten Angel charms.

v Hark! through Nature’s vast cathedral,
Blending echoes ever rise.
-'Swelling iu the mighty anthem,
To its over arching skies.
Every bird that siugs in summer.
Every honey-ladened bee,
Every squirrel iu the forest,
Every cricket on the tree.
Every music dropping fountain,
Every softly-murmuring rill,
Every dark and foaming torrent,
Every water-guided mill ;
Every rainsdrop on the house top,
Every beetU’s noisy drone,
Every footfall on the pavemedt,
Wakes an echo of iu own.
‘Sobs of woe, and songs of gladness,
Each responsive echoes seud;
Words of lovo and words of anger,
Leave their echoes far behind.
Every great and noble action
Is ro-ectaoed o’er
•Life itself is but ail echo—
Os the lives that were before.
&lIVESTO A BRIDEGROOM.
A store of happiness to thee,
This day auspicious hi ings,
And o’er the future fairy hope
! Her robe of promise flings.
Ob. fair is she whom thou hast won
To be thy gentle bride ;
A fairer, noue could ever wish,
To grace a lover's side.
But, well for thee thy chosen one
Hath charms that brighter shine.
And these by strong, though tiuycords.
Shall make her doubly thine.
(Beneath the potent hand of time,
That graceful form must bow,
And age, his favored lines shall trace,
Upon that lovely brow.
And years of care shall dim the eyes,
Soarkling with love's owo light;
And ‘mid those dark and glossy braids,
Shall mingle threads of w hite.
But outward change shall only prove
That hearts more true to thee,
And though the eyes, their lustre lose,
1 will unaltered be.
And, oh ! when sorrow’s storm shall come,
For come it surely will;
’Twill only bind that loving heart
To thee more closely still.
Attfl now, though many friends are near,
Wishing thee perfect bliss.
Not one, 1 know, is more sincere
Than she who sends you this.

Excessively Polite.—My de

in the world. He was maki/ig n voy

the passengers went to the bottom.
My uncle was just on the point of
drowning. He got his head, above

said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen ! I have
the honor to be your most obedierit

‘Sir ! you shall hear from me.’ said
a fellow with a thundering voice and

significantly. ‘That’s right, dew,’ said
.Jonathan, bowing politely: ‘write oc

Feeling a deep interest in a favorite
candidate, the father was evidently
opposed to the bo) ’s preference, stood
at the ballot box, and challenged his
right to vote, on the ground of his not
being of age. The young man de
clared that he was twenty-one years
old; that he knew it, and that he in
sisted upon his right. The father be

‘Now, Bob, will you stand up there
and contradict me? don’t 1 know how

Bob looked his contempt for the old

‘Thunderation! ’spose you was,

This settled the sire, and in went the

A LESION FROM THE DIt^UGHT
We have* endeavored occasionally to
impress upon the farmers and planters of
this country, the importance of adopting
a more thorough andtjudirious tillage than
at present generally Obtains. During
the present season, in passing through dif
ferent parts of the State, we have been
more than ever convinced of the evil of
close culture, especially in the produc
tion of corn We notice this subject
now, that our agricultural friends may be
‘duly impressed with the ‘importance of
planting hereafter more sparingly plow
ing more deeply, and preparin*: more
thoroughly The Soil. We beg them in
the preparation of their lands for wheat,
corn, uats, and indeed all important crops
to try the system 6/ subscribing. We
have seen it tested : in Flovd County, in a
wheat crop, with the most satisfactory re
sults. Upon Ibis subject the Chatanooga
Gazette adds its testimony. Alter stating
the almost entire failure of the corn crop
in that section, it say*:
“The experience of this fatally dry
season oughtto convince every farmer of
the importance of deep plowing, even
subsoiling. Fields that have thus been
cultivated, have stood the drought wond
erfully and will nrake a tolerably fair
yield.”
When to t)tG Svleet PotXtoes to
Preserve tHEM prom Rot. —A gentle
man, who is an eXperinced farmer, re
marked in our presence, the other day,
that potatoes should be dug when they
got ripe. We were at first a little surs
.prised, having never heard of ripe pota*
toes before though often enough of raw
ones. But a moments reflection satis
fied us that there must he good philoso
phy in it, for nature very plainly indicates
the proper time to pluck all other fruits
and why not the potato? But how to tell
a ripe potato was the question that
puzzled us. Simple enough, replied our
Ay ormant. ‘ Pull several potatoes from
part of yours patch, break them
amd give them time to dry und If the
fresh broken parts dry over perfectly
white the potato is ripe, and *otird be
dug. But it of a darkisfi hue, the potato
is not ripe and should be left to ripen. If
dug-when ripe they will keep, if not they
will rot. Try if.”— 'Sandersville Geor
