The SOIL OF THE SoUTH-The Ran1er
says: Here in Texas, for the last twenty
years, we have known good Southern born
men, by the sweat OF their brows, make more
corn and cotton to the hand, than those plan
tiers who worked negros, and live much bet
ter than many large Shareholders. II is all
nonsense to say that white men cannot cui-
tivate the soil of the South"

THE UNDIsCOEERED2 COUNTRY.

Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain ira
vel.
Where lie those happier hills and mead
owS low,
All. if bcyond the spirits utmost cavil
Aught of that country should we surely
know.
Who would not go2
Might we but hear
The lowering angels high imagined chorus,
Or catch Defines, with waketul eyes ana
clear,
One radiant vista of the realms before us
With one rapt moment given to see ana
hear,
All, who would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who lett us lone
ly,
Or there by some celestial streams as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were lovellt only
This weary mortal cois were we quite
sure,
Who would endure?
