was requisite for lovers as we'll ,,,,
Others. Still seated near each other.
the plighted VOWS were again AMI
again exchanged, and sealed with
kisses like
Linked sweetness long drawn ont
At length, after many vain attempts
to seyersthese pleasant pleasures, the
transported lovers found that they
were bound to each other by more
sticking bonds than lovers vows.
The hot sun had melted the pitch,
and after sitting SO long, and the
night air having cooled the resinous
matter, they found they were both
''stuek fast" The young gentleman
first attempted to disengage himself,
but found, like Aunt Jemima's
plaster, ''the more you try to pull it
off, the tighter it sticks the faster.
The young lady then attempted to get
up. which she did, minus the skirt of
her dress, and all her under clothes,
as far as the sshlters." In this plight
she attempted to relieve her discon-
solate partner, but it was of no use,
he couldn't come. After some par
ley, he came to the conclusion he
could manage it by slipping out of
his pants. Accordingly lie asked OF
his companion if she could lend him
a pair of pants until he could go
horne. She thought her pas would
do, if they were not too long. With
this information he slipped off his
boots, and loosing his suspenders.
drew himself ont of his pants as
easily as possible, and the disconso-
late couple took themselves down
stairs in very blushing manner, and
looking very much like our first
parents when they discovered that
they were human. The lady pro-
cured, as quietly as possible, a pair
of her fathers pants, which were run
into pretty quick, and the Adonis
decamped with his pants rolled up
"bout six inches. The joke was too
good to be kept; by little and little
it leaked out, until the truth had to
come to exculpate the happy inno-
cents. Memphis Argus, J,1ae 20.

The Dangers OF Pitch.

SAD PLIGHT FOR LOVERS
Night before last, as the moon rose
over the hill and tree-tops, gliding
the spires of our beautiful city with
her silver rays, there might have been
seen upon the roof of an Egyptian
cottage, which is fiat, and covered
with pure white gravel and pitch, a
couple of lovers, seated, enjoying the
beauty of the scene, and
Though few the hours the happy mo-
ments few;
so warm with heart, so rich with love they
few,
That their full souls forgot the will to
roam
And rested there, as in a dream ut home. "
The sun during the day had been
very warm, and thus they met to
spend the Aeeting hours of twilight,
enjoying the pleasant breeze that
tioated up from the magnolia garden
beneath, and interchanging those
soul-longings and the warm affections
for each other. Near each other the
lovers sat; with one arm he encircled
the waist of the beautiful creature at
his side,
Her little hand lay gently, confdingly in
his"
and all passed quietly and lovingly
until the bell tolled the midnight
hour.
"None but the loving and beloved,
Should be awake at this sweet hour"
The tolling of the hell reminded
them that
Tired natures sweet restorer. halmy
sleep"

The Cotton Prospect.

The Augusta Cousluutioaalist pub
fishes letter treating of the prospect
of the growing cotton crop, from
which we make an extract. The writer
says:
II returned few days since from
short visit to my plantation, during
which I carefully studied the crops
of this section. The main facts of the
situation I would state thus; Labor
60 per cent. of old supply; land in
cotton about rs per cent of acres
before the war; cotton full two weeks
behind time, or late, from ordinary
seasons; the Stand injured by de-
fective seed used in planting; but
mostly and chiefly, the grass seems at
present the greatest enemy. to be con-
tended with. In many fields it is so
strongly matted in the rows, that the
grass cannot be destroyed without
destroying at the same time half the
cotton. I think the greatest injury
to the growing crop will be found to
be from the grass; and, on the pre-
sent prospect, half of the former
average crop would be a liberal
estimate for this section, and we are
HiOchbiJ luuCll lil0 lllOSC favored
region East of Texas. But while,
just now, could not put the crop OF
this section at over half old receipts,
and while now l, 500, 900 bales would
seem liberal estimate for the whole
crop, yet cotton has great powers of
recuperation, and spring estimates OF
crops are not worth much. The back
wardness Of the season may be com
pensated by fall correspondingly
late, and very favorable gro ving
seasons may cause the cotton so to
spread that it will frnit all the better
in consequence of the room and air
afforded by a defective stand. Dry
weather now would enable most
planters to get start on the grass.
whilst, therefore, ! admit the
prospect now to be worse than l
have ever known it, and the chances
to be decidedly against a half crop
for the country, yet I wish to say as
decidedly that a fair crop for the land
planted is by no means impossible.

MIsCEGENATIoN IN WISCONSIN,
Last Friday, the usual quietness of
our Main street was suddenly dis
turbed by the arrival of two colored
gentlemen from Lake Mills, with a
white woman hanging on the arm of
each. One couple was married, and
accompanied the other for the pur-
pose of being present at their bridal.
Judging from the appearance OF tho
unmarried couple, rs they marched
up through the streets, we should
think, on this occasion ut least, true
love really ran smooth. They at once
proceeded to the Justices Office, fol-
lowed by crowd anxious to witness
the ceremony, at which the woman
seemed surprised, and inquired the
reason of it, saying that when she
married her first husband there were
not SO many present. Squire Ducasse
gave them few words of advice, and
declined the honor of tying the knot,
when the woman declared she would
not marry white man if she had to
travel 600 miles, at the same time
tapping the ebony cheek of her
betrothed, and he approvingly un-
covered his worries After several
fruitless attempts to procure the
services of some proper individual,
they left, saying something about
this being Copperhead town.
