landlord disposed to run upon him, re.

An sure" says Pat, that's news in

nag It was hard to catch "Old Jack
Jones" in a place too tight for him to
slip out. The following occurred last
week at Cedartown Court. There had
been a heavy frost the night before, and
some.of the knowing ones prophesied an
entire failure of the wheat crop.
II have got 100 acres" says Old Jack,
i" that I'll take 500 for"
"Dohel I'll give it, and hand you the
meney in an hour" said Mitchell.
Before the expiration of the hour a
negro from the plantation reported the
wheat uninjured, and Mitchell advanced,
money in hand.
THANK you," said Jones. when
will you take your wheat away ?"
"Take it away? Why, as soon as it
is ripe"
"No you don't! You must cut it this
week. l want to pillow that field and put
it in corn

Where Mosquitoes Come From.

These pests Of summer proceed from
the animalcules commonly termed the
g wiggle tail" If a bowl of water is
placed in the summers sun for a few days,
a number of "wiggle tails" will be visi-
BILE, and they will continue in size till
they reach three-sixteenths of an inch in
length, remaining longer at the surface
as they approach maturity, as if seeming
to live On influences derived, from the two
elements of air and water finally they
will assume a chrysalis form, and by an
increased specific gravity sink to the bot
tom of the bowl. A few hours will only
elapse when a short black furze or hair
will grow out on every side of each, till
it assumes the form of a minute caterpil.
lar. Its specific gravity being thus coun-
teracted, it will readily float to the sur
face, and be waited to the side of the
bowl by the slightest breath of air. In
a short time a fly will be Matched and
escape, leaving its tiny house upon the
surface of the water.
Any one who has had a cistern in the
yard has doubtless observed the same eff.
feet, every summer although he may be
ignorant of the beautiful and simple pro-
cess of development. If a pitcher Of els.
tern or other water containing these an
imacules is placed in a close room over
night, from which all mosquitoes have been
previously excluded, enough mosquitoes
will breed from it during the night to
give any satisfactory amount of trouble.
In fact, standing by a shalloy, half stag,
nant pool on q midsummer's day, the full
development of any number Of wiggle
tails" to the mosquito state can be wit
messed, and the origin of these disturbers
of nights slumbers thus fully ascertained.

Bse Judge Burke, who came from
ireland. and was something Of a man in
South Carolina about the time Of the
revolutionary war, was very apt to make
mistakes even in his Office of Circuit
Judge. On one occasion having to pass
sentence of death on a man who had been
legally convicted, he concluded as usual
with the words, " that you be hanged by
the neck until yon are dead to this he
unfortunately added, am sorry for it,
my friend, it is what we must all come
to"-and the solemnty of the scene was
interrupted by a burst of laughter, at
which the Judge was the only one sur.

WIEN I Avn OLD.

When I am old-and 0, how soon
viii life's sweet morning yield to noon,
And moons broad, fervid, earnest light
Till like q story well nigh told
viii seem my life-when l am old.
When I am old, this breezy earth
Will lose for meIits voice Of mirth-
The streams will have an under tone
Of sadness not by right their own,
And Springs sweet power unfold
It's rosy charms-when I am old.
When I am old, 1 shall not care
To deck with flowers my faded hair;
Twill be no vain desire of mine,
In rich and costly dress to shine,
Bright jewels and the brightest gold
viii charm me not when l am old
When I am old, my friends will be
Old and inirm, and bowed, like me;
Or else, their bodies meath the sod,
Their spirits dwelling safe with God;
The old church bell will long have tolled
Above the rest-when l am old.
When I am old, I'd rather bend
Thus sadly DER some buried friend,
Than see them lose the earnest truth
That marks the friendship of our youth
Twill be So sad to have them cold
Or strange to me when I am old.
When am DIDO, how it seems
Like the wild lunacy of dreams
70 picture in prophetic rhyme
That dim, far distant, shadowy time,
So distant that it seems DER bold
Even to say" When l am old /"
When l am old-perhaps ere then
I shall be missed from haunts of men;
Perhaps my dwelling will be found
Beneath the green and quiet mound,
My name by stranger hands enrolled
Among the dead-ere 1 am old.
Ere I ana old-that time is now,
For youth sits lightly on brow;
My limbs are firm, and strong, and free;
Life has a thousand dharmsyfor me-.
Charms that will long their influence hold
Within my heart-ere I am old.
Ere I am DIDO let me give
My life to learning how to live!
Then shall | meet. with willing heart
An early summons to depart,
Or find my heightened days consoled
Ry Gods sweet peace-when l am old.

TO WY MOTHER.


The following lines, written by a convict IN
Penitentiary, are touchlngiy oeaulhui
I've wandered far from thee, mother,
Far from my happy home,
I've left the land that gave me birth,
In other chimes / roam;
And time, since then, has rolld its years,
And marked them on my brow,
Yet I have ever thought of thee
I'm thinking of thee now.
Pm thinking on the day, mother,
When at my tender side,
You watched the dawning of my youth,
And kissed me in your pride;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
With hope of future JOY. iEsas
While your bright fancy, honors woye.
To deck your darling boy.
I'm thinking on the day, mother,
When, with anxious care,
You lifted up your heart to heaven
Your hope, your trust was there;
Fond memory brings your parting words,
While tears roll'd down your cheek;
Thy long, last, loving look told more
Than ever words could speak.
I'm far away from thee, mother,
No friend is near me now,
To soothe me with a tender word,
Or cool my aching brow;
The dearest ties affection woye
Are now all torn from me
They left me when the trouble came
They did not love like thee.
I'm lonely and forsaken now,
Unpitied and unblest;
Yet still I would not let thee know
How sorely I'm distressed;
Iknow you would not ehide me mother,
You could not give me blame,
But soothe me with your tender words,
And bid me hope again.
1 would not have thee know, mother,
How brightest hopes decay;
The tempter with his baneful cup
Has dashed them all away;
And shame has left its venom sting,
To rack with anguish wild;
Yet still I would not have thee know
The sorrow of thy child.
Oh! I have wandered far, mother,
Since l deserted thee,
And left thy trusting heart to break,
Beyond the deep blue sea
Oh, mother still L love thee well,
And love to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath,
Upon my care-worn cheek.
But ali there is a thought, mother,
Poryades my bleeding breast,
That thy feed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And while I wipe the tear away,
There whispers in my ear
A voice that speaks of heaven and thee,
And bids me enter there.

THE GRAVE.
BY WEBSTER CHApLIN-


Oh, mortal! shrink not at the grave,
Ills not the final home;
And grief, and care, and WOE within
Its portals never come.
The grave! II is a place ofrest--
And once within it lain,
The peaceful sleeper knows no more
Of anguish or Of pain.
1t is a place for mourning ones,
At the calm close of day,
To come and deck with rosy wreaths-
To come and weep and pray.
Methinks I'd like to lay me down
Within its cold embrace,
If those / love would often come
And deck my resting place.
With flowers, I would not have them weeI
. But smile above my tomb,
And think my spirit reyels where
Immortal flowers bloom.

A German Practice.

There is a practice among the Swiss
and Germans Of boring into the ground
among the roots of fruit trees, with al
instrument made for the ~purpose,) and
pouring in liquid manure to force the tree
forward, and also to enable it to resist the
drouth in dry weather. I have practiced
this four years with some fine Seckel
pears, in dry land. with good success
Avoid this after September first, as it
will induce a second growth late in the
fall, which will be quite irregular and
very liable to be winter killed. The in
strument | use is the common iron bar,
which can be driven in among the roots
without injury. Take for a wash, las l
buy no special" manures,) to three
fourths of a barrel of water, four quarts
of ashes, two quarts of lime, two shovel
fuls of night soil-stir up well, and pour
into holes made as above, what the tree
requires. Soap suds are capital for this
purpose.-RuraL WeaC Yorker.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court have by O decision,
rendered on Saturday decided. that the towns
and cities of this State have no rigR. to levy
and collect taxes for the support of Public
Schools within their corporate limits.
The Court decides that the Legislature
alone has the power to levy and collect taxes
for the support of the Common Schools, and
within the meaning and Intention of the
Constitution, It's the only MANNER by which
the people of the State can have one uniform
system stpPofted by equal taxation, and
made equally open to all.
This will stop the collection of all taxes
for the support of schoclls in every town and
city in the State, which are not levied by the
State
