To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN !

What shall lay at thy feet my love?
What GIFT that is worthy of thee?
Shall seek in the blue Heavens above,
Or under the deep, dark sea.
Shall traverse the desert sands, so drear.
Where the beasts of the wild do dwell?
Or the lofty mountains. where the leaves scar,
And the dark clouds SHOWS foretell?
Or over the Indies coast I'll rove,
Where the perils lie hid in the deep.
All, all l shall dare. to prove my love,
E'en in their dark waves I'll sleep!
She smiled as she wondered at my task,
While tremblingly lay at her feet;
A Book, from the Gift Book Store, is all that ask
And my happiness. then, is completed
Only think how much happiness is in store for those
who would buy BOOKS and ALBUMS at the GIFT BOOK

SOUTHERN REoRGANIzATIoN.-Ac company is
in process of organization at New Orleans for
the purpose of raising cotton by advancing
planters adequate means to cultivate their
lands. The necessary money is to be ad-
vanced at the rate of seven per cent, secured
by mortgage. Profits are to be equally di-
vided. The company will furnish the agri-
cultural implements required. The entire cost
of machines, mules and labor is estimated at
twelve hundred dollars. Fifty acres, it is sup
posed, can be attended by one hand and two
mules. The entire cost of working fifty acres
is put down at inside of six hundred dollars,
and the net profits on fifty bales of cotton at
between seven and eight thousand dollars.
Thousands of acres are lying idle, asking the
enterprise and industry of the world to come
and reap the rich rewards they offer. 1t is
said the negro cannot be hired to pick cotton,
but this Is doubted by those who have good
opportunity to form a correct opinion on the
subject. t.-Ricltmond Sentinel.

A THRILLING INCIDENT OF THE SIEGE OF
MArAMoRAs.-On Monday an officer from the
green back side of the Rio Grande, being on a
visit to our city, accidentally swallowed little
too much spirituous liquor, and became in
consequence so spirited as to undertake the
feat of running his horse past the sentinels at
the outer Notifications, in the direction of the
enemy. The sentinels, of course, took him to
be an escaping spy and fired at him, cutting off
one of his shoulder straps and wounding his
horse
The cavalry pickets gave chase and "cut
him off, but Yank, rounded to and came
Gilpin back to town, leading by few lengths,
to bar room, where, we suppose, she did
get up and where he certainly ''did get
down. with the precipitation natural to the
circumstances, and scooted into the building,
followed by pistol shots from his pursuers.
Cornered at last, he accepted the situation,
and was conducted, more scared than hurt, to
the General. His true status being recognized,
he was turned over to General Steele, who
happened to be present, and sent him over
the river-whether to replace the other shoul-
der strap or take off the other one, report
