Pretty Heavy.


Some time since a Mobile paper publish
ed story of a man who cut of his head
and hid it SO effectually that it could not be
found. That was very good for Mobile, but
out West things are done on larger scale,
or at least we may judge so from the follow
ing:
An Indian who had lived unhappily with
fifty or sixty squaws, determined upon sui
eide Desiring that no one should be able
to identify any portion of him, he cut off
both legs and carried them about i've miles
into the woods, on foot and alone. He bur-
led them, and cut off both his arms, which
be carried some miles further and buried.
Then cutting out his tongue, that he might
be unable to tell any one be might meet who
he was, he proceeded several miles further
chanting his death song as he went. He
finally cut off his own head, and after anus
ing himself for some time kicking it around
as foot ball, making the woods ring with
his shouts of merriment, he hid it in the
trunk of a tree, and then digging a grave
with his own hands, he got in, covered
himself up, and planted very handsome
tomb stone at the head of his grave.

ReanfifnI and True

In a late article in Frazier's Magazine
this brief, but beautiful and true passage,
occurs:
Education does not commence with the
alphabet. 1t begins with mothers love;
with fathers smile of appreciation, or
sign of rePrOof; with sisters gentle for
bearance; with handful of flowers in a
green and dainty meadow; with birds nest
admired, but not touched; with creeping
ants, and almost imperceptible comet; with
pleasant walks in shady lanes, and with
thoughts directed in sweet and kindly tones
and words to nature; to acts of beneYoleDce; /;
to deeds of virtue, and to the source of all
good-to God himself.''

TerritoriaIizing the South.


The New York Express has a sensible
and suggestive article upon the Radical
proposition to resolve the Southern States
into the condition of territories, to which
attention is invited:
The Radical plan now seems to be, and
with some prospect oftemporary success, to
take away even the old thirteen States, such
as Virginia, North and South Carolina, and
Georgia, (parties to the Revolution of 1875,
and the constitutional compact of 1787)
ernments, rights of all kinds, and to reduce
them to Territories, such as Arizona, Ida
no, or Montana, to be governed, not by
Governors appointed by the President, but
by Governors or Satraps, created by Con-
gress, OF some agent Of Congress.
There are some things to be considered,
even if a Rump Congress could override
the veto, and enact all this:
l. It is a judicial question not to be de-
termined by Congress. nor by the President,
but by the Supreme Court of the United
States. Five Judges there can stop any
such Radical revolutionary proceeding.
g. 1t becomes the Northern holders of
the bonds of Virginia, North Carolina, Ala
bama, Louisiana and others Of the ten ter
ritorialzed States, to consider, if, as State
corporations these ten States are extinguish-
ed, as contemplated by the Radicals, wheth-
er there exists any corporation or any body,
to pay their State bonds or obligations.
The ten Southern States may, perhaps,
be thus freed from their debts by the Radi-
cals-very large amounts Of which are now
in Northern hands-and so, perhaps, what
is intended as a curse for them, may turn
out to be blessing in disguise.
All we have to say to the South just now
is, stand firm, stand still, under all this
Radical thunder and lightning in Washing.
tou. twill kill more Northern than South
ern men in the end. Endurance is now the
great virtue needed in the South.
The precedent of this Territorializing
Act is. if possible, worse than the principle
Establish it, and it is established thata ma
iority of States may expel a minority o
Stales, and then reduce them to Territories
to be governed by Congress. Thus Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania may, som'
day, have brought hack upon them the roc
they administer to Others.
Indeed, if in Washington's administra
ton, the rebellion of Shays in Massachu
sets, and of whisky people in PenDsylya
MIA, had been punished, as is now proposed
to punish the rebels of the South-botl

Fashion.

Fashion rules the world, and most ty-
ranical mistress she is--eompelling people
to submit to the most inconvenient things
imaginable for her sake.
She pinches our feet with tight shoes, or
chokes US with a tight neckerchief, or
squeezes the breath out of our body by
tight lacing.
She makes people sit up by night, when
they ought to be in bed; and keeps them in
bed in the morning, when they ought to be
up and doing.
She makes it vulgar TO wait upon ones
self, and genteel to live idle and useless.
She makes people visit when they had
rather stay at home, eat when they are not
hungry, and drink when they are not
thirsty.
She iuvades our pleasure and interrupts
our business.
She oompels US to dress gaily, whether
upon our own property or that of others,
whether agreeable to the word of God, or
the dictates of pride.
She ruins health, and produces sickness,
and occasions premature death.
She makes fools of parents, invalids Of
children, and servants of all.
She is a tormentor Of conscience, des-
Poiler of morality, and an enemy of religion;
and no one can be her companion and enjoy
| either.
She is despot Of the highest grade, full
of intrigue and cunning, and yet husbands,
wives, sons, daughters and servants, black
and white, have voluntarily become her
subjects and slaves, and vie with one another
to see who shall be most ObsequiOus.

Hanpiness.

Now. let me tell you a secret-a secret
worth knowing. This looking forward for
enjoyment don't pay. From what know
of it, 1 would as soon chase butterflies for
a living, or bottle up moonshine for cloudy
nights.
The Only true way to be happy is to take
the drops of happiness as God gives them
to us every day Of our lives. The boy must
learn to be happy while he is plodding over
his lessons; the apprentice while he is
learning his trade; the merchant while he
is making his fortune. If be fails to learn
this art, he will be sure to miss his enjoy
ment when he gains what he sighs for.

LovE-sMITTEN maidens, imagine if you
can, the feelings of a young lady of Wheel
ing, Virginia, who having been locked up
to keep her from receiving the attentions of
her soldier lover, managed, in the night, to
let herself down from her third story win
dow, elude the vigilance of her guardians,
and join him for whom she was "pining
away in solitary confinement" but the
great calf refused to elope with her.

CHELDLIEE.-I am glad the world is full
of children. To me, earth-with all its
other charms-were a gloomy waste with
out them. 1 love to feel as a child. There
is no solace in afliction so sweet as the
sympathy Of children; there is no music SO

surrounded by company of affectionate,
merry children.

Cotton Seed as Food for Hogs.

Any information that will be of benefit,
in this time of need, should be given TO
the public.
Mr.. Reuben Hodges, an old and respect
ed citizen and successful planter, saws a
Lexington { Miss exchange. has used cot
ton seed as food for hogs number of years,
without the least danger. and with great
success.
The cotton seed intended to be given to
the hogs should be thrown in water the
nightbefOre-care being taken that the seed
are thoroughly covered. so as to fully wet
the lint, and the hogs can be turned upon
them the next morning.
Brood sows should not be allowed TO cat
cotton seed. Hogs thus fed are not liable
to the numerous diseases that abound
Hogs can be fed in this manner on new cot
ton seed, and three weeks feeding on corn
will work a complete purgalion of the taste
of the cotton seed from the meat. A busheI
of new cotton seed in putting a hog in con-
dItion for fatteuing is regarded as good as a
bushel of corn.
The above is invaluable. Many farmers
in the vicinity of Lexington, have adopted
Mr.. Hodges method of feeding on cotton
seed with uniform success.

Gov. ANDREW, Of Massachusetts, on re-

As Brownlow and the Legislature are

A veteran conductor was recently made
superintendent of a Wertern railroad who
had seen twenty four years of constant ser
vice. During this long period he scarcely
missed day, and as his daily journeys
were 22O miles for the chief part OF the
time, he concludes that he has travelled
800. 600 miles in the aggregate, which
amounts to about ffty-twO journeys around

Today and To-morrow-

From the Memphis Appeal
1t is tabled of an enamored youth that he
followed for years in The wake of lovely
mouDtain nymph in the vain hope of secur-
ing her for his own.
Lingering to gather the flowers that
sprang up in vivid bloom under her charm
ed footsteps, she too would pause and turn
with slow, coquetsh glance to look at him.
Fired with new enthusiasm at the sight of
the fair vision, Turing him on with tender,
beseeching eyes, and smiles of seducing
sweetness, he eagerly advances. She re-
cedes. neutrality-suspicious. within reach
she eludes his grasp.
Thus over mountain height, aud through
deep glade, her gliding form. and the golden
haze of her floating hair lured him on.
Tomorrow" is the Elusive nymph,
whose circean lead we are following-never
to reach. To-morrow--the iuexpressible
delight of its nearness in prospective joy!
The sickening dread of its swift approach in
expectant gloom and terror!
To-day-this side narrow bridge, hold
ing twenty-four slender faces-we may new
er compass. Overborne, how often. by a
resistless tide, under the light pressure of
fearless footsteps, entering upon it hope
fully, without the thought Of coming evil.
Tomorrow, to others, broad step in proud
advancement. To many, how wide the
margin between to-day and tomorrow,
closely allied as they are.
To-day, at pleasures eliminating height.
Tomorrow, sunk in deepest gloom and des-
olation. To-day, blest in all that radiant
love and life can yield. Tomorrow, friend
less! helpless! despairing!
Eager, wistful eyes, looking through life's
perspective for the purple dawn of to-mOr-
row, turning for them on a golden hinge;
may ere that be sealed under the coffin-id;
sealed in the rayless gloom of night that
hath TO morrow.
To-day in time; tomorrow in eternity.
Tomorrow, stretching away beyond far

Thus may the South, emerging from tn
blood-red gloom of war into the glad daw
