Why do you still for your childhood's days yearni
Weary one, why thro' the past again roam?

Why Is your forehead dcep furrowed with care
What has SO soon mingled frost In your hair
Why are you sorrowiul, why do you weep
Why do you ask me 70 'srock you TO sleepz
Could you but see thro' this worlds vale Of tears
Light would your sorrows be. harmless your fears.
All that seems darkness toyou would be light,
All would be sunshine where now Is but night.
Oh, dearest child, dry these tears weep no more,

Agriculture in the West.

This is one Of the principal sources
of our fast increasing wealth, and it Is
becoming more formidable every year.
The ingenuity of man, busily occupied
in the invention and multiplication of
the various implements of husbandry,
has done much to place it where 1t now
stands in the scale of national worth.
What was once drudgery and slavish
toll, is becoming comparatively a pas
time, and men from every other depart
ment Of industry are making haste TO
collect money enough together 10 pur-
chase farm, allured by the good fortune
of those who have alrerdy attained to
life of indedenpence and ease-our good
substantial farmers, whose word is equal
to their bond. Before our Corn Plan
tiers, Cultiyators, Wheat Drills, Mowers
and Reapers, etc, came into vogue.
farming was one incessant round of
labor while the progress was SO slow
that before the work of one season was
finished that of the next was waiting.
Now by the powerful aid of the excellent
inventions of the day, the burden of the
work upon a farm can be done with q
great saving of time and manual labor.
Instead of Flooding along at the pillow
handles in the tiresome furrow day after
day. turning the heavy prairie sod with
aching arms and tired feet, we see the
Illinois farmer sitting back on his plow in
q comfortable seat behind his six spank
ing melted horses that hurry him along
over the field at good fast gait, and
what was once hard work is converted
into-almost a pleasure excursion. We
look for the time when most of the
blowing in the West will be done in this
manner. Once our farmer pushed along
step by step against the heavy standing
grain, sweeping his cradle right and left
about him, or bent to the swing of his
slow cutting scythe, and when night
came, how little was done. Now notice
the whirling machine, as the lively
stepping team whirls it along, while the
yellow sheaves are scattered on the route
one after another in quick succession.
Science is not only at work in the
direction referred to, but she is also
busy developing the great wealth that
must grow out of the Improvement in
the manner of cultivating the products
of the Western soil. Agricultural, Hor
ticultural, and Pathological Societies are
springing up in every direction The
people meet in convention to discuss the
merits of the different kinds of pro
ducts, grain, fruit and flowers, separate
mutually benefited, and return to their
farms to improve on their last years eff
fort BY such means, and others we
have not alluded to, Agriculture is
pushed forward to an eminence that
bids fair to be ample in domain as com
merce and manufactures com bined =

STRANGE Coincidence.

A correspondent of the Ohio State
Journal gives the following anecdote of
Tom Corwin, on the night he receiyd
his death stroke
When at last the press about him les
send, l sat down BY his side What he
happened first to say 10 me furnishes
one OF those strange condolences which
help 70 invest our lives with a tinge of
the mysterious and awful. and which
makes us superstitious. Oneof his first
utterances to me was a startling descrip-
ton OF what Tom. Corwin was to be in
twenty FIVE minutes after It's u.terance.
Il was this: He said. " ou are more bald
than when saw you last, the day before
| sailed for Mexico | said, Yes
He said, with the semi solemn, semi-com-
ical face, which has become historical
But, then, Julius Caesar was bald"
said, But Caesar had fits" Then he
assumed a more serious manner. and
said. Twenty years ago, saw man
fsllin an apparently unconscious paraly-
sis, when in the midst of an excited
discourse. He was carried out but his
first act OF consciousness was to utter
the words you have just said
Cesar had cts"
In twenty five minutes after, / assisted
in carrying Corwin out in the precise
condition he had so strangely described.

The Something which Makes US Act.

George Ilsey seems very fond OF you
Theodore said to my little nephew.
He is not fond of me, auntle, an
swered Theodore.
Il saw his arm round you, and he Of
fered you handful of nuts"
He had 4 selfish motive for all that.
He wanted my sled,' said Theodore;
but he won't get it. l don't like him.
That was really pretty spnnky for The
odore. who surely is a kind hearted little
fellow.
But what l tell you this for is to speak
of MOTIVE. What is motive? IT is
something in our minds which leads us
to do thinG s-something which infuen-
ces our actions. 1t gives a character TO
them, good or bad; and the value or
merit of what we do, depends upon the
motive. As far as people can see our
motives. they Judge us by them. People
cannot always look into our hearts and
find out our motives They cannot al
ways be sure we have selfish motives
God can be sure. He looks into the
heart, and judges us by them. You re-
member the two men who went up into
the temple to pray Both teens TO pray
Both did pray. That was right. But
one went to boast of his givings, and to
thank God that he was not as bad as
some other people The other went in
to corner, and sobbed and cried for
mercy. He was sorry he had a bad
heart, and prayed God to forgive him.
The prayer of one man was dlspleasing
TO God on account of the motives, which
were proud and hoastful The prayer
of the other, God loved and answered,
because the motives were pleasing IN has
sight. 1t was a penitent and humble
spirit that led him to God
But. YOU see. we may do thing which
is good in itself, ard we may get praise
for it, and yet God, who sees our motive
for doing it, may be displeased. Oui
thoughts are naked and open to him
He always looks in the heart, and moth
ing will satisfy him but what we do from
right motive. It is more to him than
anything else.

Singular Obituary.

The Atlanta (Ga) Messenger gives
the following odd notice of deceased
citizen of that place:
He was the father Of eleven sons, five
of whom married five sisters. He had
one hundred and eighty nine grandchild
rem and at his funeral, two weeks ago
last Sabbath, two horses were stung to
death by bees. and another came near
losing his life by the same.
The above is not the only singular
thing of the kind in Georgia At Ring
gold, in the most elegant yard of the
cemetery, there is this inscription upon a
tombstone:
Sacred to the memory of Tennessee
Thompson, Jr. He lived to enliven the
happiness of his parents three years, two
months and twenty three days, when
death tore him from the mountains brow.
An angel caught and bore him ore the
sea. and placed him in Gods White
House, to live and play through all eter-
nity.

internal Reyenue-Prepare for the An
nual Assessment

No time should be lost by farmers,
merchants, mechanics, and business men
generally, in balancing their books,
footing up their accounts, and so arrang-
ing matters as that their income return
for the year 1868 may be made not only
intelligibly to the proper officer, but also
satisfactory to themselves.
1t is too often the case that parties
liable to an assessment neglect to make
the most common and necessary calcula-
tons, and even appear before the As
SCISSOR without any memoranda what
ever. trusting, in many instances, to
defective memory to supply the most
essential facts. This practice cannot be
too highly reprehended, producing. as
it does, delay, annoyance and errors in
Vulnerable. As each one must swear
to the correctness ofhis return, be should
see that he can do so with reasonable
exactness at least.
As the Annual Assessment is to be
made on or before the first day of Nav,
1866, an opinion prevails to some ex-
tent that the assessment of income is to
be estimated on the wear ending on said
day. Such is not the fact The esti-
mate will be made on the year ending
Decemher3 lst, 1868 Farmers should
at once make out a detailed statement of
the quantity, description and value of
Agricultural Products and Live Stock
sold during said year, and also of the
estimate value of amount of agricultural
products consumed by each person in
family, by the laborers employed, and
by the animals kept for pleasure

As soon as the late rebel States
shall reach a point of good behavior, at
which the Government and the people
of the Republic will be fully and entirely
satisfied that every black man whose
feet may henceforth press their soil, will
be treated with equal and exact justice,
and be in truth and in fact accorded all
the rights and privileges of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness then, bat
not an hour sooner, let them be restored
to their places as States of the Union

loyal States. Nothing short of that

1t was lately shown, in article in Harper. Weekly
that printed books pay not less than fifteen separate
taxes TO the Government before they reach the reader
The subject has been followed up BY exposition,
based upon the tact that epterprising booksellers in
Philadelphia, New York and Boston, have discovered
that they import books from England paw the
full duty, and lay them down here at less than half
the cost of similar books printed bo1ud and publish

CREDIT TO THE FREEDMEN. In the in
augural address of Governor Jenkins, OF
Georgia, we find tribute to the colored
people of the late slave States, which
they well deserve. In speaking TO the
members of the Legislature, about the
colored man, he used these words -
"Shce the fat of emancipation, although
sometimes unsettled in his purposes and
inconsistent in his service by contract,
(the natural result of transition so
thorough and so sudden. | take you all
10 witness that in the main, his conduct
has been praiseworthy beyond all ration
al expectation And he further said
that in his Judgment the Fidelity of ne
groes in the past, and their decorum IN
der the distressing influence of the pres
emit; are without parallel in history, and
establish for them a strong claim upon
our favoring patronage" This is sensi-
bic and just During the war the slaves
might have given their masters great
deal of trouble, by breaking out in re-
volt Such trouble was not only predict
ed, but generally expected and the ter
rible nature of the scenes that might
have followed were anticipated with
dread by great many people, even IN
the North But the slaves did not revolt
there were no such deeds done by them,
and this should impel tie people of the
Southern States to deal with them (now
that they are freemen) in spirit OF jus
tice and generous liberality .--Philadel
phia Ledger.
