THE BANNERLEss HOST.
BY DAVE BARBECUE.

We flung You flowers in the sweet spring time,
Years ago when the trumpet's swell,
Shifting the arr with battle chime,
Seemed like the voice of ISRAELI.
Your passionate eyes were turned to ours
1t needed not that the lips should swear
"Beholdr' We cried, as we tossed you flowers,
"Behold our flag. Go prove love there!"
Our voices were low and soft that day,
But they wooed you to wars fiery waves!
Our hands wero white in the ocean spray,
But they pointed the way to bloody graves!
The sun, that turned that morn to gold,
Beneath dark horizon dips;
But hungry storms our eyes behold,
The apples are ashes on our lips!
And you? We crown the graves with flowers,
Where PuIseless lie your hearts Of dust;
No more those passionate eyes seek ours,
Your flaming swords are turned to rust.
And llneeling thus beside you here,
Each faint sad heart forgiveness Graves,
That with our hands, as raised in prayer,
We pointed you to bloody graves.
But no! tears desecrato the sod,
That mourn the day, yc souls offaTae!
With proud imperial steps ye trod
The path to death, but not to shame!
When list'ning to the trumpets sound,
That led you to nobler fate
Than thus to live, Prometheus bound,
On whom foul birds their hunger safe
Yo went, like him of old, to die,
Ofwuom, each Grecian long shall tell,
lie sank mid shouts Of victory,
And cried ''W e triuu PHI as he fell.
We Hnger meath a darker sky,
Whence light celestial all had fed.
Weep yo for US, yo ever reel
"A barnerlcss host, we crown our dead!

Speaking Of the sharp practice Of some of our
clown east" citizens, the Brandon Miss, Republ-
says their latest dodge is selling negroes to the
southern planters. Knowing the great demand for
laborers in the Mississippi Valley they 60 to Geor-
good graces Of the negroes by eating and sleeping
with them, get two or three hundred 30 come with
them TO Mississippi where they hire tn ,m to plant
at $500 year, $50 Of which is to DO paid in ad
vance, They pocket the $50 per head, and leave for
some other locality, after having understanding
with the negroes that they are to work a few days
and then run away and join them again, when the
same game is played over.
The negro outrages in the South are rap
idly increasing Every mail brings us ac-
counts Of at least halfa dozen. This thing
cannot last long. Fit does, the country
cannot

pursuit worthy the enlistment of earnest
workers. Our friend, Mr. Tallweed, who.
with his Wall Street honers fresh upon
him. comes to the country to grow toma-
toes at a cost Of five dollars dozen, and
who puts sack of superphosphate to a
garden row of sweet corn, may make mon
strosties for the exhibition tables, but he
is not inviting emulation; he is simply
committing an agricultural debauch, and
an agricultural. debauch pays no better than
any other.
But between these extremes there is room
for a sober business faculty and for an ar
ray of good eense. With these tive united,
success may be counted on; not brilliant
perhaps for in farming there are no oppor-
tunities for sudden or explosive SUCCESS
The farmer digs into no gold lead. He
springs no trap, like the lawyer or trades
man. His successes, when most decided,
are orderly, normal and cumulative. He
must needs bring a cool temper and the ca
pacity to wait. II he plant a thousand
guiueas. however judiciouely, they will not
sprout to morrow. There have been Null
ticaulis fevers and Peabody seedlings, but
these are exceptions; and the prizes which
come through subordination of the Patent
Office are rare and dearly paid for.
hgcin, it must be remembered that all
success depends more on the style of the
man than the style of his business. For
one who Is thoroughly in earnest, farming
offers very fair field for effort. But the
man W BIO is only halfin earnest. who thinks
that costly barns. imported stock, jaunty
fencing and nicely-roHed lawn are the OBJ
jecls of attainment, may accomplish pretty
results, bat they will certainly be small
ones.
So the dilettaute farmer, who has a smat-
tering Of science; whose head is filed with
nostruns; who thinks his salts viii DO it all;
who does a crop-now to febleness, and
now to unnatural exuberauce; who daw dies
over his lamentations while the neighbours
oxen are breaking into his rye-feld. who
has no mAagiug caPacity-Do breadth of
vision, who sends two men to accomplish
the work of one; let such give up all hope
Of making farming a lucrative pursuit. If.
however, man be thoroughly in earnest;
If be has the sagaoity to see all over his
farm-to systematic his labor-to carry
out his plans punotually and thoroughly; if
he is not above economies nor needless Of
the teachings Of science, not unobservant
of progress otherwise, let him a0Ork-for he
will have his reward.
But even such an one may, very likely,
never come 20 his "four n-hand," except
they be colts Of his own raising; or to pri-
vate concerts in his grounds; except what
birds make.-My Farns-INitcHel.

Grccninr Horsas

Though suitable and properly prepared food is the
prime requisite for the horse regular grooming holds
the second place in the management Of him. A
man wao omits the customary additions ut stated
times-ygho goes for days or weeks with uncombed
hair, may exist, but does not live, in the proper
sense of the word. So of the horse. Grooming is
alike essential to looks, health and elasticity of ac-
zion. The curry comb and card should be brought
into daily roquisjtion, should the clipping shears
be omitted. Fetlocks bedragEled with mud, IN
kempt and tangled name, detraet much from the
appearance OF the animal, rePress his ambition and
hence diminish his usefulness. q man who neglccts
the regular grooming OF his horse is enemy both
to the beast and himself; to them because he with
holds labor which is their due, and himself be-
cause he tepreciates the value Of Lis an property.

name Of Settle d Burs.

Cure for Founder.

The Rural World proposes to cure founder in Lor
Sos as follows: ''Tako the horse into a brook or
stream of water deep enough to nearly reach his
body, and fasten him there, with bis head high
that DO cannot drink If the woathcris warm, keep
hum there several hours. Then romove him, and
rub his leg thoroughly to promote circulation. If
still l0me repeat the process two or three times and
cure viii be effected. In the winter twenty min
utes viii be long enough to keep the horse in the
water, when lie should be taken ont and rubbed, as
in the other case repeating the operation if necessa
nv. This is said to cure all eases Of founder when
not of long standing.

The Courier, of the oath inst, is
fearfully exercised over an article
which appeared in the JEFPERsosIAN
OF the 18th inst, addressed TO Won,
the truth of which he dare not deny
and in which the responsibility of your
enormous and continually increasing
county and local taxes is so plainly
and palpably fixed upon the Demo
cratic party. But the Courier man
scolds like fish woman, because the
statement of taxes was not made in a
way to suit him. NTH o..
The very correct, and virtuous pat
riarch who presides over the columns
of that journal-by the assistance of
certain ex-Auditor-makes an exhi-
bition of certain tables to bolster up
their. charge of ''lie,' "dishonesty u
and "raseality," which he makes
against the article in question. 1 pro-
pose to show by the tables, as given
by the Courier, that the Democratic
officials of your county are responsi
pie Tor the Increase of taxes.-apd Ia
