Thy neglect, ali, how feel,
Wilt thou not oh! dearest Mother,
Let soft pity DER thee stealf
| Hast thou not some gentle token
One kind word of love me3
If thou hast, OH be it spoken,
Cherished fondly it shall be.
| Well know my favored Sister
Richly merits gentle care;
| But what sweet delight It would give me-
| Did but claim the smallest share.
| am going now to leave thee
| Soon mid strangers homes to dwell;
One fond word OH dearest Mother,
| Fer speak this last farewell LIZZIE WAYF.

OF a letter from an intelligent planter of Leake
county, Miss, to his friend in this city, dated the
lst inst = Cons titution.
"Crops in this country were never better at this
season of the year than at present. Should our
seasons continue as they have thus far, and no
worms visit the cotton this fall the yield in Missis
sippi will be greater this year than ever known be-
fore. Corn, also, at present promises an abundant
harvest The wheat crop, which has been gather
ed some tlme Is also excellent, although oats have
| entirely failed throughout the State. Mississippi
is progressing finely in her internal improvements
and in the course of three months we will have a
railroad running through our entire State, from
north to south, which will afford means of trans
portaon to the interior counties for their produce
and quicken and develop its dormant energies by
affording market facilities and encouraging settle
ment IN most valuable and healthy region of the
State. In connection with this main trunk numer
our branches are contemplated and will be con
structed in time which will give facilities equa
to the northern States, and make Mississippi in {
few more years, one of the most populous and pros
porous States in the Union''
