Eccentric Preacher--Eunny Illus
tratiOn.

The discourse from which the annexed passage
is taken was actually preached in the town of
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, some years ago. The name of
the Reverend Divine, who was eolored gentle
man, and, we believe a sincere and humble
christian, we have forgotten, but the Judge
Harper to whom he refers, we remember well.
He was, We believe, at that time, President Judge
of the 18th Judicial Circuit Court of Common
Pleas-has since represented the district in Con-
gress, and is, if we are not mistaken, the present
representative. The Judge was present at the
delivery of the sermon and brought in by the
preacher, by way of illustration to a certain po-
sition, then and there taken by him. But to the
passage:
"My dear friends an bredFen,'' said the
preacher 'de soul OBJ de brack man is as dear
in de sight oh de Lord as de soul oh de white
man.
'tNow, you all see Judge Harper a settin dab,
leanin his gold headed cane-you all know
de Judge, niggars, and very fine man he is, too
Well, now, is goin to make a little comparis-
ment- Supposin' de Judge some mornin' puts
his basket on his arm, and goes to market to
buy piece oh meat. He soon finds nice, fat
piece OBJ mutton, an buys it, and claps it into
his basket and trots off wild it. Do you spose de
Judge would stop to quire wsdder dat mutton
was OBJ a wife sheep or oh a brack sheep! No,
noffn OBJ de kind-if de mutton was nice and fat,
it would be all de same to de Judge-he would
not stop to wedder de sheep had white wool
or brack wool.
'swell, jist so it is my friens, wild our hebenly
master. He does not stop to ak wedder soul
'longed to a white man or brack man, or no
odder man-wedder his head was kivered wild
| wool-de only question he viii ask will be, is
dis GOOD SOUL and if so de Master viii say,
Enter into de joy OBJ de Lord, and set down on
the same bench wild de white man-you are all
now on perfect quality"

THERE'S A CHARM ABOUT THEE.

There's a charm about thee, dear one,
That l cannot well define,
And I sometimes think it lieth
In that soft blue eye Of thine
When meet thee, dearest one,
When I hear thy gentle tone,
When my hand is pressed so tenderly,
So warmly in thine own;
Perchauce the pressure Of thy hand
This hidden charm may be;
Or the magic dearest of a sigh
That lures my heart TO thee.
Or perchance the music of thy laugh
Hath bewildering flow;
Yet cannot tell thee dear one,
If it be thy laugh or no.
For mirth as musical as thine
Hath met my ear before,
But its memory faded from my heart
When once the strain was DER
Well, be it either look or tone,
Or smile, or soft caress,
know not dearest, yet feel
could not love thee less.
Perchance the hidden charm seek,
Tina, words may not impart
Is but the warm affections
Of kind and loving heart.

SHE NEVER SMILES.

She never smiles-no happy thought
Lights up her pensive eye;
The merry laugh from lip to lip
Passes unheeded by,
Frozen for ever in her heart,
The sparkling fount Of gladness;
And DER it pours its rapid flood,
The ebon wave of sadness.
She never smiles-has frowning grief
With his stern magic bound her?
Has care her long, lean fingers raised,
To cast her fetters round her?
Has one so young the lesson learned
That love is oft betrayed?
All, no, she never smiles, because
Her front teeth are decayed!

Do MEMBERS OF CoNGREss EVER STEAL?
There is an old English statute which permits man
to go into turnip field and devour as he DESIRES on
the spot, but forbids ha, under penalty of imprson-
ment, TO fill his pockets with them for consumption
at home. Would it not be well to have similar
law In relation to the knives and stationery supplied
to members of Congress! The propriety of such
regulation is suggested by an advertisement of the
Clerk OF the House of Representatives for proposals
to furnish these articles for the members during the
next session. The following are among the items
required;-2,sO5 reams of paper, $50 dozen pen
knlves-about dozen for each member-of which,
100 dozen are required TO be four-bIaded, pearl han
died, and of the highest finish and best quality; and
100 dozen of two blades, pearl handled, and of the
highest finish and best quality; 1000 cards assorted
metallic pens, and 202 gross of other pens of differ
ent quality; $4,000 best opaque and clarified quilts
making some $4,000 pens and quis lO0, 900
note envelopes, plain and embossed; 300, 900 do. of
different qualities; 100000 selEsealing letter en-
velopes; 10000 selt-sealing note envelopes, &c.
The questions, ''Where do the flies so?'' and
"what becomes of the pns?" have been long before
the people. Permit us to substitute, therefore, BY
way of variety, the query: ''Vhat becomes Of the
Congressional stationery" In order to arrive at
the TRUTH we propose that the sergeant-at-arms be
instructed to examine the pockets of the members
every time they leave the Captol.-South Caro-
linian.

THE CoTToN CRoP AND CoTroN GooDs.-
writer, who is said to be well informed as to the
cotton crop of the Lower Mississippi, thus writes
Dune l2th) to the Dry Goods Reporter:
"The planters of cotton, on the Mississippi River,
are now on their way TO their summer residences
and bring us intelligence from every cotton district
below, of the large promise of the next CROP Thus
far the season has been very favorable and, although
an overflow is expected, you may look for a crop Of
three millions of bales in 1872 anda fall of prices
down to cents for middng cotton. Now, if our
surplus goods can, at cents the yard be thrown on
foreign markets, we likely to get pound of
cotton for yard of No. IA cloth. This exchange
as is said, will satisfy the manufacturer.
The present relative prices Of goods and material
are not the most encouraging to cotton mill own
ers here. But our cotton does not cost US as much
by from to cents pound, as it cost at Lowell,
and we are paying only Lowell prices to our opera

WASTE OF MANUREs.---The greatest defects in
American agriculture at the present time, arise chief
y from carelessness and waste. The disregard of
order, system, and economy is the bane of our farm
ing. is the occasion of constant and immense loss
In many ways. The most striking example of this
perhaps is the great negligence in regard to the saw
ing olmanures. Notwithstanding the frequency with
which this subject has been brought the attention
of farmers, there is scarcely neighborhood in which
many instances Of the neglect and loss alluded to, are
not seen. On most farms there is nearly a total loss

Is often so much exposed, that one half its value pro-
badly, is lost 1t is often washed into the highway,
and is in the colorng Of the water Of brooks,
which carry off the soluble portions 1t would not,
probably, be estimate of this loss, to say that
with many farmers, it is more than equal 10 the mo-
ney they pay in taxes.
This loss might be almost wholly prevented, and
with but little comparative expense. The first thing
towards this would be to use plenty of substances 10
absorb all the liquids ofihe stables and yards Gel
lars under barns and stables, where the shape of the
ground would render it convenient to make them,
would be preferable, as receptacles for manure, to
any other plan. Where cellars are not made there
might be excavations under hestas and being filled
with muck peat charcoal or charcoal DUST the urine
would be retained in a form convenient for applica-
ton to the SOIL Yards should be so formed by means

animals sustain much injury from the want of this
