We have received by the hand Of
mutual friend, the following letter,
addressed by BIDDY McSHANE, to
her ovid friend. the Patriot, JOHN
MITCHELL, which we take pleasure in
publishing, in compliance with her
request to that effect. 1t will be

and goes in for Irishman's rights
from the dry knocks Of. Donnybrook,
to the yitriolic shower bath prescri-

that you was spared to us, when SC
many poor fellows couldn't stay
bad luck TO the Goovernmint! There
was Michael, my first husband. that

heads for pikes-he Surrendered bis

Heaven at the ind Of a rope--de'
sartin me wailin' wildly. Sure he
broke his parool; and so the next day
l married reG-haired Pat, and ken

blessed Vargin, we'll have the ould
times over agin. Hurra for Irish
mans rights. Let US be ayther cit
liens or inimy's. Who's afeard? :
Let livery freeman be drilled and
trained, and have his arms always
riddy. Who's a better right
What's liberty when We can't fight
lagin the Government, knock the pc.
lees on the head, and kick up a rue
ton? Answer me that!
The saints have you in their howly

The Locusts.-Mr.'s Gideon B
Smith has written a letter to the ed
itot of the Baltimore Patriot, stating
that the locusts will appear in num-
Der of the States this year, 1867
Kentucky, in the vicinities of Lex
ington, Frankfort and Fleminsburg,
is to be visited by them. He says:
They can be found in all the above
places, wherever trees, shrubbery,
or forests grew in 1888, by digging
down one OF two feet. They will be
found in their cells, inside of Jumps
of earth Of the size of the fist or lar
ger; and when these are broken by
the spade or otherwise, the cells will
be exposed and the locust grubs in
them one in each cell.

Neger Despair.

Neger Despair.
Never drean.you can surrender -
But with strong unwavering heart,
Bear the burden of your sorrows--
Bid distrust and doubt depart.
Mourn not, although clouded woes
Seem to overflow life's cup;
With eyes of faith pierce through the gloom,
Nerve your soul to "ne'er give up" E
Though clouds of sadness darkly lower,
And no stars of pleasure CLEAN,
Mid their varying, gloomy masses,
But with dark forebodings tenn
Though fraught with sorrow, pain and care.
Fruitless toll and ceaseless strife,
And We shrink from all exertion.
Until We care not even for life!
What though the trusted one betrayed you
|. Whom you loved cen as brother,
And you turn with soul-felt anguish,
From all friendship with another? b
Though cold in death the fair and lovely
One that was of life thelight--
flushed your infants childish prattle,
Closed the beauteous eyes in night?
/ What though all You loved have persisted
| It'll your sad heart orphaned seems.
And you bid last adiep Ora
To your childhood's glowing dreams?
Despair not yet. but brave and steadfast,
Breast life's troubles as they rise!
What avails your bitter murmurs,
What your oft-repeated signs?
Yield not weekly unto sorrow,
] Rise above each earth-born fear
See yon clear light ceaseless beaming,
| See yon sun-rays bursting near;
Look upward to the star that glimmers
| On the confines of the grave, fs
To light the spirit freed from thraldom
/ Ger deaths dark and troubled wave
Every cloud but wells the sunlight
|. Every night hath still morn-4
Then, oh. cease thy vain repining.
Soon the glorious light will dawn.
Yon little star at twilight shining
Days bright radiance soon will dim.
But at eve again appearing,
Teaches US to trust in HIM.

Southern Horticulture.

According 10 good authority, the
value Of the Horticultural produce OF
eur county amount to over one hun
.dred and fifty million of dollars an
nually. Strange to say, this golden
harvest is reaped chiefly in the north
crn Middle and Western States, Mas
ssachusetts alone realises nearly as
much from orchards( garden product
as South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, this
is one of the sad pictures that the
South presents. 1t might be painted
sin differents colors if our ruralist
would only wake up to what might BIT
done.
Our fruit growers have been un-
successfulin many cases, because OF
their reliance on the Northern nur-
series. The experience Of most OF
them has been decidedly adverse to
this method. Mr. Van Buren,, of
Georgia, says, Southern raised trees
succeed much better, come into bear
ing sooner, and are more durable
:han those imported from Northern
nurseries. Mr.. Morton, of Virgin
declares. Northern trees, however
fine their fruit in their appropriate
climate, seldom yield good fruit here
These views are amply corroborated
by the eminent horticulturists of the
Southern States. Acting on these
facts, various gentlemen have estab-
lished successful nurseries at the
South, and opportunities are now af'
forded for all who desire Southern
trees to avail themselves Of the Of
fer.
1t was the opinion of the late Mr.
Dowing, a man Of genius in every.
thing relating TO this subject, that
our planting States would originate
new varieties Of fruit, rivaling those
of temperate ATTITUDES, and thai
even exotic sorts would be found to
improve by grating and budding the
same variety through successive gen
erations on native stocks. The hor'
ticulturalists of Georgia have con-
firmed this opinion by bringing to
light about twenty native varieties
of the apples, many Of which have
been classed as best by the fruit
conventions of the North.
We are glad to see that our ma
tive skill and talent are being turned
to this interesting and useful branch.
Various gentlemen in our city and
neighborhood are warmly enlisted In
horticulture, and their example is
producing its proper impression
Fruit is not only comfort and lux
ury, but if our people could get into
the habit of using it more freely at
the right season, we should ma our
health and spirits better in the long,
dry, hot weather. Our soil and eli
mate are suited to its finest forms
and to an abundant yield, if We en-
ploy as much skill in its raising as
we do in other departments of indus
try; and none can doubt that as an
article of profit it is substantial en-
try for any mans ledger.

There aren Scenesin that Rude Land


There are no scenes in that rude land,
Of cataract or river,
And buds and blossoms do not thrive
Upon theverdant heather;
There are no craggy peaks to charm
The poets raptured vision,
And yet to me that barren spot
Is beautiful as heaven.
l find not there the magic spell
Of fashion or of folly
No charm to chase dull away,
Or soothe my melancholy;
find not there the eager tnrong,
Swayed by each breath of passion,
Nor cen that base and soulless thing,
The devotee of fashion.
No gilded tinsel there ardorns
The brow of pride and power,
Nor fulsome art nor pompous word
Fer wastes one passing hour;
Each rustic villager pursues
His labor or his leisure, :
Content that industry affords
True and refined pleasure. >
And yet his dearth of boistrous joy,
Scene of my song and story,
To me seems as fairy place
Of beauty and of glory;
And while Imingle with the world.
Its tumults and its fever,
NY heart turns back to that lone spot, !.
And clings to it forever. 30
For one whom most fondly love
Dwells in that fairy Alden;
BY day, By night, / dream of her.
That rare and glorious maiden;
And when from strife and toll turn,
Lonely and weak and weary,
My soul with true affection burns,
For her, my own. my MARY.
