LET MY HOME BE A COTTAGE.
BY DAVID Bates
Give me the fresh, free breath Of heaven,
:, Water pure from the purling stream.
Breaa that congenal toll has given,
Sleep too deep and secure to dream
Let my home be a cottage owly,
Standing where it is scarcely seen.
In the vale, where a brook winds slowly
Down at the foot OF the slopng green.
With the sentinel willow keeping
Watch by It's door, where fountain falls
Flowers around, and vines all creeping
Over its gray and messy walls.
Where the trees, with their boughs o'etbeu ding
Sing 10 the ear soothing strain;
Ana broad fields around me extending
Wave their billowy golden grain.
Where sweet blossoms are hanging over
Rustic shrlnes, Tor repose and ease;
And where the blooming field Of clover
Yields its sweets to the bee and breeze
Where the eye, Ger the landscape gazing,
Rests with delight on mead and dell
Dotted over with groups of grazing
Flocks that herd to the tinkling BELL
Far away from the bustling city,
FILLED with its weight of wealth and woe,
Where neither pride, neglect, nor pity,
Drives back the lte-stream's healthful flow,
Where the weary, oppressed, and grievng.
Bending under misfortunes darts,
Bless the shelter, and feel, when leaving
Heavier hands and lighter hearts.
There, With the friends love around me.
Drawing closer affections tie
lies that alone to earth have bound me-
Let me peacefully live and die

Siberia.

We find (translated) in the New York Tribune
an extremely interesting sketch of Siberia, written
by Pole who for political offence was sent there
into Punishment. We take from it the conclusion,
full of eloquence and pathos The author shared
the fate which was to lin appalling The mex
orable thought" became to him an awful reality
He died there.
They err greatly who fancy that the Siberian
exile dwes in subterranean hole and hunts sables
in order to supply certain quantity of skins to the
Governments or who seek the horror of Siberia in
the climate 1t true that the cold is that
birds, upon the wing, freeze and fall dead to the
earth, and scurvy and govt for the same reason
permanent diseases especially in the eastern regions
The summer is as warm as the winter is cold, and
the heat is more intolerable from the swarms Of
gnats. But these things do not make Siberia terri
BILE. 1t is the memorable thought Thou shalt die
heren This it is that strikes its vulture beak into
the heart of the exile and gnaws it always and eve
rywhere. 1t ming giles in his dreams--it awakes with
him at the morning and cngs to him until he sinks
into his hand from the sheet of paper to which he
would eonfde his sorrow, stare at him the frightfu
words. They mirror themselves upon his features
and seem to each of his fellow sufferers stamped up
on his brow. This high degree of suffering shows
itself also in the faces of natives, many of whom
without knowing it, children of the unhappy
whose bones lie under these eternal SHOWS. The
horrible thought of being Siberian exile consumes
the vital force, dries up the marrow in the bones
and drop by drop poisons the blood in the VEINS
When the tragedy is consummated, the victim is re
duced to idiotic automaton or despair has made
him maniac.
Upon the wide steppes of Siberia neither rose:
blow nor nghtingaes sing, but little islands OF For
eet-me nots are strewed here and there which, by
their color, remind the poor exile of heaven, and
seem to say to him, God is here too"

Two Irishmen were left in charge of shin while

Incidents of Travel Under Ground.

few DAYS ago, three of our worthy citizens paid
visit to the Cave. now attracting much attention.
under Lookout mountain With the usual amount
of pine, some matches, and bread and cheese they
worked their way along the main passage until they
found aperture in some rock which let them down
into lower chamber. This they traversed for hours
when hunger and fatigue admonished them that it
time to return. But how short-sighted is man.
especially when several miles under ground To the
CONSERVATION of the trio the fearful truth eroped its
way to their senses that they were lost They were
then beyond all landmarks No stranger had left
his mark upon the wall, and, with pine fast dimin-
ishing, fears came upon them of being buried alive
beneath the towering rock of the Lookout All Jokes
were laid aside and the company, with measured
if they could only get out of these difficulties
Hope was dying within them, when streak of good
luck befell them almost as welcome a CLEAN of
daylight Away in that far recess where no traces
of men seen, they found two bottles, one filled
with water, the other with brandy
They were old fashioned porter battles, and the
cork in the one containing brandy half rotted
out The brandy had the taste of great age. After
taking horn,' the party moved forward in better
spirits. Shortly after they found the skeleton of
man, which they gathered up trophy and car
ried along. Finally after many vicsitudes, weary
and heavy laden" they found out their " bearings"
and soon emerged into moonlight after having tray
elled ten and half hours.
Although the party suffered much that visit vet
it had its interest. New regions in this subterra-
mean cavern were discovered, and novelties and
grandeurs seen, seldom looked upon before
Parties are now almost daily exploring this inter-
estng cave, and it is destined to be great resort

Winter Grasses for the South.

write on this subject not to instruct, but to call
the attention Of Southern planters to the subject
Winter Grasses believing that if they had sufficient
ly reflected on the value, all would be trying find
out and establish such grasses would afford winter
pasturage. In the Northern States, east and west
500 per acre paid for woodland to put down in
Blue grass This is rented at either Sc or 81 per
according to the rate of interest. 1t is known by
them from long experience to be profitable invest
ment as learn from conversations had with many
OF these farmers, and from visiting and examining
their farms. | find about Ii acres allowed to feed
one steer; then there is an outlay of from 50 to
$1,000 per annum to feed one steer for market, and
yet fortunes made by buying land these prices
and raising beef for market.
We at the South have no winter grasses. We
have land in great abundance which has cost us
from 81 to $40 per acre. We therefore pay rent
of from to 10 cents per acre, only and yet but few
OF US have summer grass; none of us have winter
grasses with which to feed our stock, and to stop
drafts on the crib. We have stock, it is true
but for the want of grasses after the many and
haustng drafts on the crib stock is nearly
less. One cow well pastured on summer and winter
grass, will yield more milk and butter. than six fed
in the ordinary way But this is not the great item
of profit horses and mules necessary to cultivate
crop at least six months feeding from the crib
they are made thereby more healthy and more val,
liable Let any farmer calculate the half of the
proyender now fed away to his pillow team and OK
team and in most instances it will compare with the
net profits of his cotton crop.
