DARKNESS AND DAWN.


DARKNESS AND DAWN.
When waves Of sorrow round you roll,
And billows fierce come sweeping on,
Let this true saying cheer your SOUL
The darkest hour precedes the dawn"
If e'er misfbrtunss cloud should lower
And no bright hopes should cheer you on,
Let this inspire your heart with power
90 The darkest hour precedes the dawn-h
II friendship's brittle chain should break,
Or loves dear light grow pale and wan,
Then this blessed truth your comfort makss-
"fhe darkest hour precedes the dawn"
When hosts Of sin are pressing hard,
In errors path 10 lead you on,
Resist them. and your sure reward,
You'll find In truths delightful dawn.
And when death holds you In his power,
And all your hopes Of life gone,
Remember then, the darkest hour
Precedes bright and glorious dawn.

.gosEl Billings on Owls.
josh Billings says Of owls :;
Buris is Gods choriestcrs.

BurdS Is God : chOrlestcrS.
Tew the lion he gave majesty, tew the ele>
phant strength, tew the fox cunning, and
tew the tiger deceit. But TO the burds, bis
pets, he gave buty and song.
And none so blest as the owl.
The owl is a game burd he can whip any
Ching that wears feathers-aitar dark
He is a wise burd. and boots at mbst
things.
He is sollem bura. cross between a
justice Of the peace and county supervisor.
He is a stiff burd, and sits up as stiff as
exclamation point.
He is a luxurious burd, and feeds on
spring chickens.
He is a long lived burd, and never was
known to take death natraly.
He is hardy burd, and grozs tuif by bile
ing.
He is a honest burd, and alwuz shows an
open countenance.
He is prompt burd, and satisGze at onst
his outstanding bill.
He is comfortable burd, and alwuz
sleeps in feathers
| He is an attentive bnrd, and durin the day
| can alwuz be found in.
He is festive burd, and don't come home
/ till morning.
| Thus the owl is mistaken emblem Of
solitude and sadness, and if we dig iato hi:
natur closely, is enphatically one of the boys
aud belongs to the club.

The American, Bottom

This excellent tract of land contains about
one hundred and twenty square miles, and ls
of unsurpassed fertility. 1t lies almost en-,
tirely in and adds greatly to the agricultural
resources of this county. Thirty bushels OF
wheat, one hundred bushels of corn, and
twelve hundred pounds of seed cotton to the
acre, are not considered more than average
crops. The wheat ranks with the finest in
the world the corn is of superior quality,
and the cotton is equal to the best in the
United States. Tobacco, hemp fax, castor
beans, and many other valuable products
can be raised in great abundance and excel
lence. All kinds of garden vegetables and
fruits grow larger and finer than in other
places, while the soil is easily cultivated and
bat little subject to the yicissitudes of the
seasons.
A larga part of this fne body of land is
still shaded by forests of the riost valuable
[ timber, and trees of great size-fron five tx
seven feet in Ciameter-are frequently found
/ Walnut, Oak, Poplar, Sycamore. Hickory
and Pecan are the usual varieties, thougi
! Beach and Maple are not uncommon.

Tax-Payers, Remember,


That it is tho Radical Party which you
must thank for the ruin of the country
and the enormous and oppressive taxation.
By adopting tho Crittenden compromise
in 1861, secession would..pight have been
pre-, ented, and the war avorted. This
compromise would have strengthened the
hands Of the Union men Of those States
The Radical object Of the war was an ut.
ter overthrow Of the Constitution aud the
Union Of our fathers, which is all plainly
manifest now. They denounce President
johnson now, because he is crdeavoring
TO restore the Constitution and the Union.
One year ago all the leaders of the Rad.
ical party, only required the South to re.
pudiate their war debt, to abolish the or
dinnnecs Of secession, and to confirm the
abolition Of slavery, and then loyal men
from those States would be admitted to
Congress. All this the Southern States
have done, and yet the Radicals refuse to
admit their Representatives. After eight
months of blating, their Congress sub.
mitted an amendment for these States to
accept, which is to give to the negro the
right to vote. This they require Of the
Southern, but not of the Northern States
This shows their justice and sense Of right
