Tue PEACH CRoP.-The prospect for crop
of peaches seems more promising in the lower
part Of the State than with us. Says the Lin
coin Herald: Although many of the peach
buds were injured by the lale cold weather,
yet there is enough remaining unhurt for a
large crop" 1t is but little use to speculate
on the prospect now, however; one ofthe most
disastrous consequences, late frosts, is yet to
be considered.

The OF Mans Death.

Deat-dead dead The tired feet have
reached their journeys end at last, and the
weary heart is at rest. Threescore years
and ten the old man has wandered on, his
step every dag becoming slower, and his
shoulders bearing heavier burdens of care
and grief; bu: now he rests from his labors
and sleeps. Once he was young; health
bloomed on his cheek and sparkled in his
eye; joy filled his heart, aud hope held up
bright visions before him. He followed on
and one by one be saw them fade. Loved
on*s were taken away and he could not 60
with them; friends departed and he was left
alone. But still be trudged on, and as nature
grew more weary, his heart grew stronger.
And now, he has crossed the river and
gained his crown be is with a better Friend
than the world ever was, or ever could have
been. All. world you have been cruel to
him you have wounded his heart you have
given him stones when he asked for bread /;
but you could not take away his crowu--yon
could not force him from his Fathers side /.
ard now be has left you the dross of earthly
pleasure, and gained his treasure in Heaven
Then, step back fold the withered hands
on his breast; smooth back the gary hairs
that rest like a crown on the wrinkled fore
head-close the coffin, and bear him TO his
long home. Earth to earth, and dust to
dust, but the spirit to God who gave itl'

Gen. Grant might win as much re-

AFFECTION.


How sweet are the tears of Affection,
From eyes that the bosom holds dear,
When, clouded with grief and depression,
We look to the future with fearl
Oh then, not the gold of Peru,
The wealth of king on his throne,
Could tempt us to- part with the tear dew,
Affection will shed for its own!
How sweet is the smile of Affection,
When pleasure is beaming around,
When gone are the shades of oppression
And SUNLIGHT and roses abound
TITS then like the chaplet of flowers,
Encircling head that we love;
Fer lending perfume to the hours,
And bringing us light from above.
How sweet are the words of Affection
They comfort the sorrowing heart,
They drive away care and detection,
And life, and new vigor impart. ~.
All who, in this world of affection,
Could bear to exist for day,
Did not the sweet light of Affection,
Shine peacefully over the way?

DAsTARDLY MURDER OF AN INoFFEN-
sIvE CHILD AT MURFREEsBoRo. Tenn
A gentleman arriving in this city yester-
day morning, from Murfreesboro, Tenn,
furnishes us the particulars of brutal
murder which occurred there on the 3,h.
Two coored soldiers, belonging to the
lllth Regiment United States infantry,
were amusing themselves by shooting
dogs in the street. A lad, aged nine
years by the name of Loveday, whose
father. was killed at Stone river, was
standing on the sidewalk when the ne>
groes came along. No one heard him
speak 10 them, but he looked up into
their faces and may have said some
thing. ..r r....-
One Of them, Moses Tucker, was seen
to take hold of him, while the other, Al.
der Ellis deliberately placed his revolv
er to bis breast and fred killing the lad
instantly. The negroes we're OF once ar
rested and plrced in irons. the authors
ties having considerable difficulty in pre-
venting the enraged populace from at
once executing vengeance upon them.
When our informant left coroner's To-
quest was being held, and considerable
excitement prevailed.-Cn. Eng.

Home Scholastic. 1.

Editor Citizen: That schools are i'm
portant. will be admitted by your readers
without an argument from me or any
one else
But schools cannot be kept up withcu
teachers and patronage.
Therefore, it is the duty of citizens t.
give their patronage to home schools.
But by "home schools" do not con.
fine my meaning to the particular schoo
in my or your neighborhood, town o.
city. mean those 10 convenient reach
in the county or State. A large number
of these are shortived, because. first
competent teachers are not always EN-
ployed--as not all the we'll educated
have the gift or talent ofteoching. Some
too. engage in the business just to fill out
few months and replenish little before
entering upon an anticipated vocation.
Secondly. no systematic "conrse Of study
has been decided upon by the trustees OF
patrons Of the school, to which they re-
quire conformity upon thu part of those
employed to teach, Hence, the pupils
are put in the books which suit the fancy
of the teacher employed for the present
three months, or it may be five months,
without regard to what they may have
studied previously. Hence, when an.
other teacher is employed, something else
is introduced and studied for a short time,
and months more Of yacdtion in study
follow, SO that mere sma'teriDg is all
that many of the youth in our land get in
the way of education. ..-..
Now it seems to me that much Of this
evil might be avoided if the trustees or
patrons of schools Especially in the
country would have made out a Judi.
cious course Of study and require their
teachers 10 conform to it; and when they
have good teacher to give him such a
salary as to induce him to remain with
them to educate their youtlhd
And a want of proper interest in this
subject has blasted the education Of many
of our youth in The past. Teachers have
received less pecunary compensation,
with one exception, than any other class
of men for The amount of Ia Dor bestowed
The father would give a larger sum to
his overseer or clerk than he was willing
to give the instructor of his children.
Cheap, cheap was always his motto when
he wanted a teacher so that he cosld
only get some broke down" to UNDER
take for bis cheap rates. Thousands of
cheap teachers have been imported to the
South, who were not qualified to FL such
positions, rather Than give competent
Southerner good living price for teach>
ing. We trust the day has passed for
such uuwise proceedings in Mississippi at
least. Thousands of children are in our
State who ought to be educated, and edu.
Gated at home, but who cannot be unless
we interest ourselves SO as to establish
schools and secure competent teachers,
and continue to patronize them when Sc
cured. Stability is as necessary in this
as in anything else, We must. we can,
we pW succeed, are important elements
n this undertaking. HELMS.
