The E,nDty Cradle.

There is whole volume of poetry
in the following little sketch, which we
find in the last number of Miss BARRIERS
Weekly, published at Newman, Geor'
gia: .....
We met john on the stairs. He was
carrying an old cradle to be slowed
away among what he termed plum
der" in the lumber room. One rocker
was gone, and the wicker works of the
sides broken; it was an old willowy
affair, but we could not refrain from
casting u sad look into its empty
depths.
."Goner we said dreamily, "all
gone!' What golden heads were once
pillowed here, heads on which the curls
grew moist in slumber, and the cheeks
and lips flushed to the hue Of rose
leaves. When sleep broke, the silken-
fringed lips opened heavily from the
slumberous eyes; smiles fitted like
sunbeams over the face; the white fist
was thrust into the mouth, and when
mamma lifted the muslin and peeped to
see if the baby was sleeping, cooling
and growing we're heard!
The little feet began to kick out OF
pure delight, and kicked on until both
of the tiny red shoes were landed at the
foot of the cradle Where are those
heads now? Some that were en-
Drowned by vigorous manhood are
sleeping on battle-fields; some are
blcached with time and cares, and the
feet have grown sore and weary on the
rough paths oflife.
Perhaps some little one, once tender
ly rocked here. is sleeping in the coffin.
Over it grow hearts case, and vigO
rous box, and white candy -tuft, and the
starry jessamine. The blue-birG filters
its bright wings through the willow
bough; and the cool summer wind
whispers to the green leaves and grass
blades on the grave. Sleep on, little
one. "Of such is the King
dom of Heaven"

Inh,lunan Tragedy.

The Koskiusko (Miss.) Chronicle
gives the following particulars Of
most inhuman murder perpetrated i'll
Choctaw county, in that State, a short
time ago: Wiley Eudy, of that county,
murdered his mother! There had been
n quarrel between the old man Eudy
and his wife about bible which the old
miscrcant had ordered his son, boy
OF sixteen, to burn. Mrs. Eudy told
her son she would whip him If he DIES,
troyed the bible, but he did so, and she
stepped out to get a switch, and while
gone her husband told the boy to look
behind the door and get an axhandle,
and to knock his mother in the head
when she attempted to whip him. The
son, shameful to say, obeyed his father,
struck Mrs. Eudy on the head with the
ax-llandle, fractming her skull, from
the effects Of which she died

A SMALL AMOUNT According to
the estimate, of the Cincinnati En1ni-
rer, the cost Of following the flag and
keeping steps to the music of the Union
is only the small amount of S350,OO0,-
600.
The Enquirer says
This enormous sum was levied and
collected from the people, by the Uni
ted States, last year, for the support of
the Federal Government. 1t is equal
to tax Of SIS ahead upon every man,
woman and child in the country. A
family of six persons says SlOS a year,
besides all the enormous State and To-
cal taxes. Still, with these expendi
tnrcs, let the people remember the Rad
ical politicians insist on lavishing SO,
600, 900 upon Frceomcn's Bureaus in
the South, to support the negro popu-
latiop in idlcncss, and to pay their
board and h ouse rent. They insist,
also, upon supporting an immense
standing army OF 10000 men, at the
cost of 800, 6O1, 900 y year, when it is
entirely unnecessary, ard when its re
duction would 50 greatly Tighten our
taxes. They also insist upon the eX-
emption of the wealthy Iond holders
from all taxation, State or local, and
the imposition of these burdens as al
ditional upon other and poorer class
es."

A Yankee Trade.

A certain farmer, who in the course
of the year purchased several dollars
worth Of goods and always paid for
them, called at store Of q village mer-
chant, his regular place of dealing. with
two dozen brooms, which he offered
for sale. The merchant who, by the
way, is fond Of good bargain, exam
ined his stock, and said:
"Well, Cyrus, will give you shil'
ling apiece for these brooms."
Cyrus seemed astonished at the offer,
and quickly replied:
"Oh, no, John, l cant begin to take
that for 'em, no how; but I'll let you
have 'em for twenty cents apiece, and
not cent less"
"Cyrus, you are crazy" replied John
"Why, see here,' showing fine lot OF
brooms, sis an article great deal bet
ter than yours (which was true, which
am retailing at twelve and half cents
apiece" (which was not true by seven
and half cents.
"Don't care for that" answered Cy-
rus; "your brooms are cheap enough,
but you can't have mine for less than
twenty cents, anyhow and pretend
ing to be more than half angry, shoul-
dered his brooms and started for the
door.
The merchant, getting nervous over
the loss of COED customer, and fear
ing that he might 60 to another store
and never return, said:
"See hele, Cyrus, hold on awhile If
I give you twenty cents foryour brooms
you will not object to take the price OF
them out in goods" 7"
mo, | don't care if l do," replied
Cyrus.
"Well, as you are an old customer,
I will allow you twenty cents piece
for this lot. Let me see, twenty -four
times twenty make just four hundred
and eighty cents What kind ofgoods
will you have, Cyrus?"
"Well now, John, l reckon it don't
make any difference to you what sort
Of goods | take, does IT Z!
"Oh no, not at all-not at all said
the merchant. .,..
"Well, then, as it don't make any
difference, l will take the amount in
them brooms of yours at twelve and a
half cents a piece. Let me see, four
dollars and eighty cents will get thirty
brooms, and ten cents over; don't
make much difference, John, about the
ten cents, but as you are a right clever
fellow, I believe III take the change in
terbacker."
When Cyrus went out of the door
with his brooms and "terbaccer,'
John was seized with a serious breaking
out at the mouth, during which time he
was distinctly heard to violate the
third commandment several times by
the bystanders, who all enjoyed the
Joke.

Longevity OF M0n,

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
proves by statistics that mans longcyi.
ty is in exact proportion to his educa.
tional attainments, provided his health
has not been injured by over mental ex.
ertion. 1t seems that increasing intel
ligence and decreasing war have pro-
longed the average life in Europe from
twenty-five years in the seventeenth
century to thirty-five in the eighteenth,
and to forty-fve in the nineteenth. The
best educated communities are the lon
gest lived, and the best educated sol.
dicrs live amazingly longer than the
more ignorant, and seem TO wear q
charmed life. not so much against bul.
let and bayonet as the effects of disease,
privation end even severe wounds, on
their constitutions and lives.

MY Fathers CUMMlN.-A young
urchin, before the act, was employed
to sweep the chimney of house in
Macclesfield, and having asccnded to
the summit of his profession took a
survey. This completed, he prepared
to descend, but mistaking the lue, he
found himself, on landing in the Office
of the limb Of the law whose mcdita-
tons were put to flight. The sensa-
ton Of both parties it is impossible to
describe-the boy terrified lest he
should be punished stood riveted to
the. spot, and the lawyer, struck dumb,
started from his seat, the very image
of horror, but spoke not. Sooty, how
ever soon found a tongue, and in ac-
cents which only increased the terrors
of the man of law, cried out:

The Late General Carter.

We take the following eloquent trib'
ute to the memory Of Gen. John G.
Carter, of Tennessee, killed at the bat
tie Of Franklin, from the eulogy on the
Life and Character of Hon. Nathan
Green, delivered at Lebanon last June,
by Col. Horace Rice, Of that place:
The next to join that pale, silent pro
cession of the dead, was the young,
the noble, the gifted and chivilric Car
ter. In 1861, when the tocsin of war
rcverberated through the land, and the
shrill notes of the bugle were heard
along our valleys and hill-tops, sound
ing the call to arms, lie was among the
first of those gallant spirits who raj
lied under the banner Of the South.
He entered the army as a Lieutenant,
but his efficacy in camp and on the
march, his skill and fertility ofresource,
his cool courage, dashing bravery and
princely bearing in the hour OF danger,
soon rendered him the idol Of his
troops, and caught the eye of bis su-
pcrior officers. He was rapidly pro-
NOTED from one position to another,
until at the battle of Franklin, where
ended his glorious career, he held the
rank of Brigadier General, and COM
manded Que of the brigades in that far
famed corps Of Tennesseeans, the i'm.
mortal Cheatham' Division n-the "Old
Guard of the Army Of Tennessee.
There are those here who witnessed
his deeds ofprowess on that field OF
blood. The first grand charge had
been made along the lines, and the Con-
federates were everywhere repulsed,
save at one point, where handful OF
men, by skillful manGuvre had ef-
fected lodgment in the enemy's
works.
The Federals are making desperate
effort to retake the position and with
terrible odds press tiercely upon that
devoted little band. Upon the issues
of that struggle hangs the fate of the
day. There is a momentary lull in the
storm OF battle, and all eyes are turned
to that point where the dark masses are
gathering to renew the onset and come
to the rescue. A splendid horseman
is seen riding in front of the lines,
speaking words Of encouragement to
his men, and infusing into their souls
the spirit of his own daring courage
At length all is ready-the command
Forward p rings out loud and clear
upon the air, and the column begins to
move.
"The war that for space did fail,
Now trebly laundering swclls the gale
And Carter is the cry!'
Those brave men move steadily for
ward barring their noble breasts to the
pitiless storm of grape and canister and
minnie that pours on them, and the
splendid horseman is still seen tower
ing at their head, his eye lighted up
with the fire of battle, and his clarion
voice rising high above the crash OF
musketry and the roar of artillery. But
suddenly he goes down and the rider
less steed dashes madly over the plain.
The fatal ball has performed its mission,
and in the midstof that wild carnival
Of death, the noble Carter is borne
from the field. He now rests beneath
the green sod Of that sunny land he
loved so well, and for which he gave
his life. ...
His sword leaps not at the long loud cry,
Nor starts and streams with crimson dye;
He shouts no charge nor the brave line
leads,
But he sleeps in the grave of glorious
deeds"

Two daughters of John Van Buren
were recently presented to the Princess
of Wales, which is considered as equiv
alent as being introduced to Qneen Vic
toria, the Princess receiving all compa-
ny in the name of her mothcr-in, law.
1t is pity that the Van Buren girls
did not see the widow, as that would
have afforded them an opportunity to
behold their fathers first flame. 1t will
he remembered that when Martin Van
Buren, was President his son visited
England, where he upset aristocratic
English propriety by a dashing flirta-
ton with Miss Guelph. Victoria re-
mcmbcred John Van Buren until her
memory was clouded by the burly Ger
man Albert, inspiring her with a new
love. Victoria is now widow, and a
recluse in court visited by the bloom

Washington City Under Abolition
Auspices.

Western gentleman, man Of high
honor and unimpeachable veracity, in
writing from Washington says:
"There seems to be little value at,
tached to money here. The cost Of
living is exhorbitant. One member Of
Congress, Mr.. Dodge, with his family
and horses, lives at Wizards Hotel,
and pays $3.50 per day. He has a
large suite of rooms, but is not half
so good a member as the honorable
gentleman Mr.. Brooks) who was
tlrned oUt to make room for him.
"The time was when Washington
was a desirable place Of residence,
when the society here was Of the best
order, when some Of the first and best
families Of the nation made this their
residence. There are a few such here
now, but, US general thing, licen,
tiousness and drunkenness are the
prominent features of Washington life
this season. Most Of the Republican
members of Congress spend their even
ings in billiard saloons and drinking
hells, and their nights in houses Of i'll
fame and assignation. Five-scvenths
ofthe Republican members spend their
nights in licentious dissipation. While
the Democratic members are working
for the good of the country, the Re
publicans, relying upon their majority,
go in for "a good time" The private
announcement ofa fresh importation
of fair but frail nymphs, is sufficient to
fill certain well-known houses in the
city with abolition members of Con-
gress, shining lights and pious men,
bers of the "GOd and morality" party
that they are. Washington, under alb
clifton auspices, is the most licentious,
depraved city in the Union. Drinking
hells, gambling houses, houses of pros
titution and assignation, abound for
many squares around the Capitol, like
side shows around a circus. Abandon
