LOVE THE OLD.

love the old-to lean beside
The antique, easy chair,
And pass my fingers softly Ger
A wreath of silvered hair;
To press my glowing lips upon
The furrowed brow, and gaze
Within the sunken eye, where dwells
The eight of other days"
To fold the pale and feeble hands
That on my youthful head
Have laid so tenderly, the while
The evening prayer was said;
To nestle down close to the heart.
And marvel how it held ..,
Such tones Of legendary lore,
The chronicles Of Ed.
OH youth, thou hast so much of Joy,
So much of life and love, ...
So many hopes Age has but one
The hope of bliss above. ......
Then turn awhile from these away
To cheer the old, and bless
The wasted heart-spring with stream
Ofgushing tenderness.
Thou treadest now path of bloom,
And thine exulting soul
Springs proudly on, as tho it meeked
At times unfelt cnnirol.
But they have marched weary way,
Upon a thorny road li-
Then soothe the toll worn spirit ere
They pass away to God.
Yes, love the aged-bow before
The venerable form
So soon to seek beyond the sky
A shelter from the storm.
Aye, love them; let thy silent heart,
With reverence untold,
AS pilgrims reyl nsar TO Hedven,
Regard and love the old. lttf

He was right; | could do no

plain my connection with her
death, l looked for the last time
upon the lifeless form and slowly
left the place. Ga
The remainder of my story is
soon told. Her uncle never knew
by whose hand she had died, but
the disappearance of. his son led
him to suspect Benito. The lat
ter left the city Immediately after
the procession. He was observed
to talk a moment with Mexican,
and then disappearing down q
street near by, he was seen no
more. Yet his own hand had
not done the deed, for he was in
the procession at the time and
throughout the mass. The ex-
PLANTATION l suppose to lie in the
fact, that he had got information
in some way of the appointment;
probably by finding the note which
had dropped; and having hired
two assassins, purposely showed
himself in the procession, in order
to escape the suspicion of having
murdered me, for whom the shot
was intended. All efforts to ar
rest him were unsuccessful, proba-
bly, because they were discouraged
by his friends, .
We stayed in the city long

To Keep the Feet Dry.

The following recipe for keep.
ing the feet dry and preserving
leather, is highly recommended by
those who have used it: 1t con-
sists of four articles--tallow, soap,
rosin and water. These ingredi-
ents are prepared as follows: Twen-
ty-one parts of tallow are melted
in vessel, three parts of rosin
added, and the two, when melted,
mixed well together. In another
vessel, several parts of good wash
ing soap are dissolved in several
parts of pure rain-water. After
it is dissolved, and the mass heat
ed to a boiling point. we add the
part prepared before; letit boil once
more gently, and the preparation
is ready for use. 1t is specially
adapted to boots, harness and leath.

The Law Fixing the Quail
ification Of Jurors de-
clared Unconstitutional

From the Clarksyille Chronicle, Feb. 2,
In the case of the State Us.
Hancock, at the present term of
our Circuit Court, the counsel for
the defense objected to II juror on
the ground that he was not quail
fed voter, thus bringing up the
Iquestion of the constltutionallty
of q recent act of the Legislature,
which provides that the fact that
the party is not a qualified voter,
shall be cause for challenge in all
civil and criminal cases. His Hon.
or Judge Campbell, decided the
| law to be unconstitutional. In this
case there was a panel of upwards
| of a hundred jurors, and 1t turn
ed out that there were only three
out of that number, who were
qualified voters, under the Fran
chise Law. The Judge ordered
the Sheriff, in summOning a jury,
to select the best men in the coun
| ty, and the panel was composed
of our most respectable citizens,
and only three out of upwards of
a hundred were found that could
vote. 1t was also developed on
this trial that there were only ZIG
voters i'll the county, out Of a yO-
ting population of about 5000,
aud it is we'll known that many
| of those who are voters, are not
householders or freeholders. In
eleven districts in this county,
there is not a single voter-elev-
en- districts unable to elect a magis-
trate or constable! Practically,
| in Middle and West Tennessee,
this beautiful law of the Legisla-
ture destroys the right Of trial
by jury, which the Constitution
declares shall be inviolate.
How long is this unhappy State
to remain in the hands of such u
Legislature2
The defendant was convicted,
and an appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court. So the Court of
last resort will pass upon the inn
portant question

Great Depth Of Snow.

We have q letter from lamp
shire county, Mass, which says the
snow is i've feet deep in this part
of the State, aud another from a
thickly-settled town in Worcester
county speaks of the roads as being
nearly impossible. 1t was a rare
spectacle to see a team on the pub
licroad. The Hartford Times, 10th
ult., has advices of similar import,
as follows:
In country towns all over Con-
necticut few of the roads are yet
broken through. The people have
been "snowed in" for a month. Ii
is so many years since we have
had such an ld-fashioned" winter,
and there are SO few, comparative
ly, of the farmers who now possess
the strong and splendid OK teams
of other years (the war demand
was as fatal to cattle as to men,)
that there is a lack of those jolly
gangs of pathbreakers who in 9TH
er days used to join teams and
open the roads from town to town.
So in many towns no cross roads
have been broken since the advent
of 1867, and such main roads as are
opened are barely passable; even
now, a horse and sleigh can only
be driven at walk. In many
parts of the State, east and west,
there are great drifts, ten or twelve
feet high, and extending for long
distances. In the woods, where
there is no drifting, the depth last
week was in most quarters about
three feet. There are few or no
turn.outs, and sleighs meeting
have to get along as they can. Men
take shovel with them when they
60 from place to place in sleighs.
In Massachusetts, too, the snow
is deep. Extensive tunneling has
been resorted to in some towns, so
that neighbors can go from house
to house. s#
The lives of three children who
were buried i'll n snow-drift at
Gloucester week before last, while
going home from school, were saved
by the barking of dog, which
brought help to the place. though
the youngsters were nearly frozen
to death before they were rescued.
The snow-driits at Charlton,
Mass, are said to be the highest
ever known, and in many instan-
ces tunnelingis the only means to
remove the obstructiols. Some
of the apple trees are completely
submerged. The central and east.
ern portions of Massachusetts, seem
to be deeper in snow than even
the western.

OUrwIrrING A GoBBLER Capt.
Flacll, in his Experiences in the
Southern States" says only a vet
eran in the ast has any chance OF
success in wild turkey hunting,
1t is recorded of an old hunter that
he once chased a turkey regularl y
for three years, only catching sight
, of the bird twice, although he used
the "call" with which they initiate
the cry of the female, and SO al
lured the cock within range OF the
rifle. But let him relate his adyen'
lures himself: 81 always hunted
that ar gobbler in the same range
till know'd his track and his .yelp
rs we'll as do my old dogs. But
the critter were so knowing thai
when | called he would run from
ME, taking the opposite direction
to nv footmarks. The old scaly
varmint kept pretty much about
q ridge, at the end OF which, where
it lost itself in the swamp, was
hollow cypress tree. Now | were
determined to have that gobbler
boys; SO what do | do but put or
my shoes heels foremost, WALL
down the Hill quietly, aud get int,
the hollow tree. Well, then !
gave a 'call;' and, boys, it woulc
have done your hearts good to see
that turkey coming trotting dowr
the rid ge towards me, looking q
my tracks, and thinking had gon'
the other way"

To Make Cows Give Milk

A writer who says his cow gives
all the milk that is wanted in a
family of eight persons, and from
which was made two hundred and
sixty pounds of butter during the
year, gives the following as his
mode of treatment-it is cheap,
and worth at least trial:
"If you desire to get a large
yield of rich milk, give your cows
three times a day water slightly
warm, slightly salted, in which
bran has been stirred at the rate
of one quart to two gallons of wa
ter. You will find, if you have
not tried this daily practice, that
your cow will give twenty-five per
cent. more milk Immediately un-
der the effect of it, and she will be-
come so attached to the diet as to
refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty, but the mess she will
drink almost at any time and ask
for more. The amount of this
drink necessary is an ordinary wa.
ter pail full each time, morning,
noon, and night. Your animal
will then do her best at discoun,
ting the. lacteal. Four hundred
pounds of tutter are often obtained
from good stock, and instances are
mentioned where the yield is even
at higher figure" = I..ar

I'll take-iny-precious-wifel
The angel took sapphire pen
And wrote IN rainbow dew,
''The man would be boy again, .5faI
And be husband too"' ss
-"And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember, all their gifts have fed
With those dissolving years"
Why, yes; for memory would recall
My fond paternal joys! i-,'t tst
Icould not bear to leave them all:
I'll NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.! f,.
The smiling angel dropped his pen
"Why this will never do;
The man would be a boy again,
And be father toom
And so / laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noise
And wrote my dream, when morning broll
To please the gray haired boys.

A gentleman visiting in the
family of a worthy deacon, had
been showing the children a beau
tifpl music box, after which he
wound it up and pnt the instru-
ment away in his pocket. At the
hour of, retiring for the pight, the
visitor was called upon for a pray
er, and having got upon his knees,
was in the midst Of what promis-
ed to be a somewhat prolonged
petition, when suddenly, in con-
sequence Of a change of petition
on the part of the supplicant, the
musical box started gayly off with
the tune-''Take your time, Miss
Lucy!" To say that the prayer
was brought to rather abrupt
termination, and that even the
worthy deacon rose from his knees
all but convulsed with laughter, is
drawing the effect Of the incident
quite mildly.

FALL CoLTs.-The Mime Farmer
thinks fall colts more desirable than
spring colts. The mares can usu-
ally be allowed to rest during the
winter, and if well fed can keep
the colts in fine condition, so that
in spring they will be ready to
have the full benefit of the grass,
without the risk of being injured
by being fed grain while young.
