PORTRAIT OF ONE WOMAN By ANOlHER.
Thus writes that sweet poctcss, Mary E.. Hewitt, of tn,
subject ola lovely portrait by Osgood. We copy it from th'
Tribune. II strikes us as being rarely beautiful.
Say, noble painter, who hast wrought
These bright creations here o. art?
Is this but thine embodied thought;
Or hath thy picture counterpart!
Thou'st stolen Berenice's hair
Methinks, Iom out the darkoned sky,
To grace the brow so pure and fair,
Whereon these gliitering tresses le-
Tell me if this soft, downy blush,
The soul-horn radilnce oi tins eye,
Lies in thy palette and thy brush;
Or have they a reality;
Thou sayest her home is all divine,
With It's bright wealth OF household flowers,
Tha, her fair children's pleasures t%ine
Like tendrns round her sunny hours.
All sure, a being formed 50 rare,
Hath power iic's freshness to restore
Hath found the wond.ors fountain where
Immortal Juno laved of yoie!
Yet no. the beauty here ensh.ined
Forever, BY thy master art,
Reveals the pure incafnste Mind,
Whose Kanathos is in the heart.

Of the harvest has developed the existence of
shorter crop in the choctaw Nation than that of
last year. Cotton crops have been very materially
injured by the early frost. On one plantation it is
supposed TO have lessened the yield some thirty or
forty bales. There is probably but one plantation
in the Nation which will yield more than halt an
average cotton crop.
