"swEET HOME"


''swoet Home - Oh blissful, holy place.
When perfect love and peace arc found,
Within Il, shedding joy and grace,
To make tho threshold "hallowed ground"
Whore heart TO heart aud hand 10 hand
Are closely linked by silken chains
Where each one shares tho fears, tho cares,
Tho hopes. the pleasures, aud tho pains.
Where open deeds and gueless speech
Dissolve all clouds of mean Deceit;
Where honest eyes without disguise
Look straight into the eyes they meet.
Where Manhood Infancy, and Ago.
With simple faith and earnest trust,
In lowly reverence hear the page
In which it's written "Be ye just"
Where words that preach Good will to all.
And widely herald peace on EARTH"
Are heard in gentle tones To fall
Like music of seraphic birth.
Where the rich flower of Conduct blows
From the pure bud Of Christian Thought,
And living practice daily throws
Truths halo round the preeept taught.
Where merry song and harmless jest
At fcstal tide are heard to blend
Where welcome" grects the stranger guest,
And cloud rejoicing halls the friend.
"Swoet Home" oh blissful. holy place.
Where Home" is all that "iIouie' shouId b.
And Man. despite his fallen race,
Some trace Of Eden still can sec.

MANUFAcTURISG IN THE SOUTH
Among the great changes which are likely
to result from the late conflict between
the North and the South, those of il com.
mercial and manufacturing character
promise 10 be the most conspicuous
Before the war, the natural course cf bust
ness was to send cotton from the South
TO the Northern Atlantic cities for the
purpose Of being manufactured or re-ship-
ped TO Europe, receiving in return such
goods as the planting States consumed
Now, TO localize tho business Of the South
to produce there, a. far as possible, the
manufactured goods required for home
consumption. With the growth Of man.
ufactures in the South, the advantages Of
cheapness, resulting from having the raw
product on the spot, will be realized, and
eventually she may underscll others, and
send her surplus direct to such foreign
markets as are in need Of them. As q
symptom Of this introyersion Of trade il
may be noted that between seventy and
eighty cotton mills are now said to be in
process Of erection in the Southern States.
besides sundry w0olen ones, all tending IN
the change Of trade and business to which
wc have adyerted. Nor Is this tendency
confined TO the South solely. but seems to
be aciuating the people Of the Western
States also. There, too, increased atten-
ton to manufacturing enterprises is man
ifested, promising changes in commercial
affairs not anticipated ten years since
These have been expedited in the South
BY the late conflict in arms; while in the
West they are the result Of views autag-
onistic to those entertained by the manu-.
facturers Of the Atlantic States Balti.

TOTAL ABsTINENCE.-A young lady,
who was firm advocate of total abstin-
ance, when riding from her father
county seat to a neighboring village, met
young man on foot who carried a sus-
picious looking jug. She at once reined
in her horse and asked him what he had
in his jug.
Looking up with comical leer, he SIM
ply winked one eye, and smacked his
lips, to indicate that it contained some
thing good.
The young lady supposing he meant
alcohol, Immediately began to talk tenn
perance, but her auditor requested the
privilege of first asking her just one SIM
plequestion.
"What is it 2" she required.
'lt is that" he replied. "Why is my
jug like your side-saddle."
She could not tell.
'lts because it holds gaZ-on," said
he.
"What trifing I" exclaimed the indig.
nant young lady, and then continued =
"Young man do you perceive"
ID ust one more question interrupted
her auditor and then I'm done.
"Why is my jug like the assembly room
Of female seminary at roll call ?'s
I'm sure, | don't know" petulantIy
replied the young lady.
"Well it's because it's full glasses =
said the incorrigable auditor.
The fair lecturer touched her spirited
horse with the whip and was soon out Of
hearing of the rude young mans laugh

The FATAL SEvEN.-Under this head; the
Pittsburg Commercial notices the curious
fact that almost every decade in our history,
ending with the figure Serea; has marked the
beginning of financial crash or depression.
Thus, with I767 came the crash that wiped
out continental currency. 1907 our troubles
with France and expected war with England
confused the business of the country. 1877
tremendous financial convulsion occurred,
the legacy of the war of 1924. In
1927, the infiction was less severe, but ten
years later, 1887, the whole banking system
and business of the country went down, tC
be prostrated to greater or less extent fol
the ensuing five years. In l847, there were
no particular hard times on this side of the
Atlantic, but on the other side, the En-
glish railroad speculations produced great
eyils, and gaunt famine stalked over Ire
land and other portions of Europe. In 1857
initiation and over trading, with us, ended II
serious commercial losses.

OFFICES GO BEGGING-A FEARFUL STATE OF
THiSGs.-The Natchez Miss Courier of the
18th inst, says:-The apathy that prevails at
the South with regard to all that once inter
ested its people was never better maifested
than in the special election that took place
Yesterday A member of the Legislature
was to be chosen to fill vacancy, and from
a county which in point of former material
wealth, capital employed and taxes paid wed
with the first in the State The Office actual.
" went so far begging that no one was an
nounced as candidate several gentleman
positively refused the use of their names
and not the slightest interest was eYinced as
to whether the county was represented at all.
True 1t is that our people are perfectly care
less as to the political future. So disgusted
are they with the meanness, the treachery
the corruption and the radicalism of the North
that they throw off all solicitude for the fu-
ture, denied as they are any responsibility
for the present. Misrule, anarchy and i'm
perial despotism are but steps in the ladder
of national fortune. The South will not
tread that ladder; but they look on without q
heart, without hope, and almost without q
preference, as they see the radicalism of the
North climb tho dizzy rounds.
