NEW PATENT.

fvvhe undersigned having procured the exclu- II sive right of manufacturing and selling to the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the late improvement in blows, (known as Har- ris' twelve pointed shovel and turning blow, would inform the planters of said county that he is prepared to receive and fill all orders which will be done in regular turn, notifying the person ordering, as soon as ready.
 This is no Yankee humbug for speculation, but was gotten up in the South by an expe- rienced workman, on scientific principles, to suit the wants of the cotton growing commu- nity, and five minutes examination will satisfy the most credulous, that it is the neatest. best, and in the end, the cheapest blow ever of fered.
 They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie county, under the superintendence of an ex- perienced workman and no means or time will be spared in making them neat and durable.
 The advantages of this over all other blows to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- ing to the shop, time saved in changing blows and the smiths bill. In this you have four distinct blows, all working perfect, (no sub stitute in either,) which yon can change at pleasure on any part of your farm, no other tool being required but your clovis pin; first, you have small shovel. suited for all ordi- nary purposes of that tool, by adding one mould, either right or left, you have a good turning half shovel for ridging and milling and place cutter before it and you have an excel lent ew-ground blow: in the third place. nut on both moulds and you have large shovel. perfectly suited to breaking out the middles of cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the moulds of the large shovel, you have good cotton sweep, all four working better than yor can get any common smith to make of wrough iron. In addition you have, by adjusting tn, point, (which is made of the best of wrough blow steel i've extra points and eleven extr snarpenngs, over ether blows, which is said some of the most prominent planters i North Mississippi, to be sufficient for fv ereps; and all this for S6 5o-lo0, withou cutter, or S7 50-l00 with cutter attached tnese are shop prices. will send them { brownsville or Hickory Plain. in lots of ? Tor x5 per lot or to Des Are, at e6 per lot.

OVER THE HILLS.

 And hang the head all day:
 But over the hills we'll bound, old hound Over the hills and away. Here among men we're like the deer That wonder is our prey: So, over the hills we'll bound, old hound, Over the hills and away. The hypocrite Is master here,
 But he's the cock of clay; So, over the hills we'll bound, old hound, Over the hills and away. The women they shall sigh and smile, And madden whom they may: It's over the hills we'll bound, old hound, Over the hills and away. Let silly lads in couples run
 To pleasure wicked fay, sTis ours on the heather to bound, old hound, Over the hills and away. The torrent glnts under the rowan red, And shakes the bracken spray: What joy on the heather to bound, old hound, Over the hills and awsy. The sun bursts broad, and the heathery bed Ispurple and orange and gray: Away, and away, we'll bound, old hound, Over the hills and away.

CRACKER PIE.-Dr. Scott, editor Of

taste the best apple pie:
For two pies, take three soda Crack

even full Tartario Acid, one tablespoon
Of Ess Lemon q s., to flavor, bake with

A man in his carriage, was riding along,
A gaily dressed wife by his sidei
In satin and laces she looked like a queeni
And he like king in his pride.
A wood-sawyer stood on the street. as they
passed,
Tho carriage and couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked with his saw on log
al wish was rich and could ride"
The man in tho carriage remarked to his wife
zone thing I would give &C I could
ia give an my wealth Tor the strength and the
health
or the man who saweth the wood"
A pretty, young maid, with a bundle Of work ,
Whose face, as the morning was lair,
Went tripping along with smile Of delight
While humming love-breathing air.
she looked on the carriage-the lady she saw
Arrayed In apparel 80 fine,
And said. 90 a whisper, al wish from my heart
Those satin and laces were mine"
The lady looked out on the maid with her work
So fair, In her calico dress,
Aud said, "i'd roImquish possessions and
wealth,
Her beauty and youth to pOssoso."
Thus, in fair this world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time we employ
In longing and sighing for what we have not
Ungrateful for what we enjoy.
We welcome the pleasure for which we hav,
sighed
The heart has a void in il still,
Growing deeper aud wider the longer we live
That nothing but heaven can itll.

Authors Prices.

A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the press, stating the prices
which certain magazines pay for contrl-
buttons, as follows:
The Atlantic, from So to $40 por
page; "Harper's" from 81 30 to $40
per page, aud the "KnickerbOoker' S3
per page.
The statement is only partly true
The "Atlantic" pays S5 page to all its
prose contributors, with two or three
such illustrious exceptions as Emerson
and the "Autocrat," who command a
higher price, 1t also pays from $40 to
$50 a piece for poems, according to
their length merits and authors Har-
per's magazine pays for prose contribu-
tons at the rate of S5 a page,--a page
of "Harpor's" containing third more
than page Of the "Atlantc." For
certain editorial matter "HarPer's'
pays $40 a page; and for an original
story from Charles Reade it has paid not
less than $40 a page, when it can obtain
matter at that cheap rate, which il US
ually manages to do, A few Of its
contributors it pays a trihe, more for
their names than anything else--

reader2 Do they not make home
twice as attractive? Is not the family

Ainty heart of the pertinaoious old

the family, is never fully developed,
except in those long evenings when
the severe weather brings its members
into close communion; when the long,
cold evenings gather together the va
rious little communities, strengthening
the bonds Of affection, promoting
mutual good Offices, and performing a
large share in the work of civilization.
