consent of the Legislature of Virginia
was given, and that a vote WIS taken

POETRY.


e7f r.
The following lines of sympathy and trus,
were addressed to the veteran legislator by
the talented colored lecturer, Mrs. Frances
E. W. Harper. on reading his plaintive speech
in the House before the passage Of the Con'
stitutional Amendment: &
Have the bright and glowing visions,
Faded FROM the longing sight,
Like the gorgeous tint of even
Mingiing with the shades Of night?
Didst thou hope to see thy country,
Wearing Justice a crown.
Standing foremost mid the nations.
Worthy Of the worlds renownS
Did'st thou think the gran fruition
Reached the fullness of its time,
When the cratnr Of Gods judgment
Overlooked the nations crime
That thy people, purged by Ere,
Would have trod another path,
Careful lest ther. feet should stumble
On the cinders OF Gods wrath.
And again the injured negro
Grind the dreadful mills of fate,
Pressing out the fearful vintage
OF the nations scorn and hates
Sadder than The crimson shadows.
Hung for years around our skies,
Are The hopes so fondiy cherished
Fading now before thine eyesi
Not in vain has been thy hoping,
Though thy fair ideals fade,
Ifiike one of Gods tall aloes
Thou art ripening in the shade.
There it light beyond the darkness,
JOY beyond the present pain;
There is hope in Gods great justice
And the negro's rising brain.
Though before the timid counsels
Truth and Right may seem TO fail,
God hath bathed his sword in Judgment,
And his arm shall yet prevail

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

TAKING WHEN MILKISo.-We have seen
4 noticed somewhere, that taking while
milking is not good-that COW will give less
milk. &c. We think we can say We have had
experience in this way. 1t comes under the
head Of quick milking. fast mixer is bet
ter than slow. Talking is very apt to re>
tard milking: not only that.-a skittish COW
will be uneasy where too much ado is, where
another person is present, especially a
stranger. We think we have seen q decrease
of milk where talking person was present.
We prefer milking alone, and as fast as pos
sible. Quietu6a and contentment are great
qualities in COW A wild COW is no gener-
ally good one. IF she is, she win be much
better when tanned and domesticated.
