Agricultural rians for another Year

The season rapidly approaches when i! be-
houvaS every planter and land owner to form
q definite plan of agricultural action for an
other year, il he does not iatend to sci! his
lard, or suffer it to lie idle.
Within the past few days we have heard
every p!an discussed, by intelligent and
p-acticai turner's, whereby they intend to
make the most cf their rich treasure in the
land y;hcn the government has left them,
and realise tue largest profits out OF Tue sta
ple OF co,ton, which is now bringing. and viii
throughout the next year, bring SUCH remu-
NEGATIVE prices. Every plan has lis advocates,
and will lie tried the next year.
The agitation of tic subject Of farming un
der the new system o labor, to which all
must conform, We look upon as goud omen.
|, demonstrates that there. is life in the far
r,e.s vet that though tEcy sustained heavy
losses, when the government freed Their
slayos, they are determined 10 try what can
be done for raising the agricultural products
of the earth, on which the pecuniary prosper
i,y of the South has, i'll tunes past, depended;
and on which, hereafter, that prosperity Ill
future, is to be mainly built.
We saw then to lr farming friends, con-
slider we'll, ana form your plaus, and then car
rs them on. in all faith and sincerity. IL is
oay by adopting different methods, for utili
zins and making profitable the labor OF the
negroes, that the best plan can be developed;
and such plan being once formed 1t may be
generally adopted.
II is not for us, in our editorial closet, to
expect to enllghten practical farmers on their
wis, St course in the present juncture but we
may, with propriety, as we do, urge upou
! thvu, by every consideration of private en-
terest, as we'll as public policy, to make ar
rau .:ylneuts within the time during which
such arrangements are usually made, for CIV
lag thsir lands a thorough working during
the coming year. This is the only way b
which plerty can be made to smile upon oul
l.nsl, We iir,nIy believe the means to re
tain their former importance to the nalor
apd't..e world, are yet within the reach o
the people Of the South, and hope to SCI

Our Lost Darling.
DY S. A. l..


Onc week ago our precious ono was here
Our little girl with warm and loving heart;
Size was so void of self, so COED aud imc,-
She almost ecemed of or own life part. .
Her chair is vacant ncw,-ler little bed
Hath no impression where her form once lay
Her baby brothers cries, nor sisters voice,
Can win her rack, fer she has soac away.
She seemed woman in her watchiul love-
Her strict obedience to her parents will;
Her quick response to'cvcry wish exprossOd,-
Her patient striving, each demand to fill.
We had to give her up though twas so hard,
For she was ncede, iu 1t boiler sphere;
Though thnndering breakers washed tue h'lhcr
shore,
Moroy wa, whispering lhoush'Te could not
hear.
An angel came on swilt and tirclcas wing,
Aud clarsed her fondly to its loving breast,
Then bore her through the pure celestial blue
Tc where IA givcth his beloved rest.
Oh, would we have her hero to bear agEin
The bitter sufferings of that Iearfn! Eight!
To leave those blissful climes where comes 20
pain,
No suffering hours, nor no raylcss night?
No, God forbid We arc the sufferers now;
Her debt is cancelIcl-onrs is yet to pay;
We gropein darkness. fearful OF go strife
Tier pa,h is onward through ctcrn;l. day.
Then faithful mother, lift thy droorirs head
Oh! tyndar father, lock bryOnl The sky,
To where thy reasnre resis, Fansc'ned soul,
Among the myria,l chclsbiM on high.
Nor is her spirit troubled naw she knoss
The tuir.;ul SavitrT bruises ius 20 heal
Ard though fonG, anxious Lear;s w.:h grief arc
riyen,
Tle blow is for t!ct. hes, eternal ~cal.
Oh, paTenls can ye not in nights GoeP hush,
Hear the soft rusl!ips Of her ai,gel wing?
Is she MT spared little Willie from Heaven
10 soothc the ayoay her loss doth bring?
Good bye, dear onc! n9 more can mortal eye
BEHOLD the little fcrln VIC loved veil;
We pray oar Saviour thai we meet on high;
sopHlE, sweet child, pct. precious ley-, fare
well!

The Sunlight of our Io uschoId.

The Sunlight OF our Household.
The little fairy spritc,
Who came slancing throash our household
Like ray of golden light?
Whose little feet Kept dancing,
Never weary. until erc
Threw its purple shadows o'cr US,
And her goodnight kiss She gave?
Did you ever see her,
With her floating curls Of bro@n,
AS she gladly ran to meet Us
Coming from the distant town:
AS she grects US with kisses,
Twas tho sweetest welcome homo
To hear her birL-roiee li.ping,
"obo! I'm 50 glad you've come"
Did you over see her,
With her azure eyes OF blue?
They were sometimes filled with tear drops,
Like violet with dew;
/. oFtener they were laughing, dancing,
Shining, twinkiine, bright with joy,
As she told some pretty story
OF her kitchen or toy.
And you did rot see her
When those patteriug feet were.still,
When the little hands were folded,
Not By their sweet owners will;
When the eyes were closed so gently,
And the curls of soft brown hair
BY the hands of friends were parted
From her forehead pure and fair.
And You did not zee Ecr
Wien they shut the coffin lid,
And our little fairy darling
From our sight forever hid:
With her going went our sunlight
From our homo tits ever gone:
May VIC ever say, WITH truth and ealiancss,
Not my will, but Thine, be done
