"oLD TIME So

Here is an exquisite little poem, which
appeared IN the Chicago Journal 1t is a
perfect gem:
~ There's a beautiful song on the sIunBr5us air,
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;e
Il comes from cline where the were,
And truthful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of asure and hair OF brown,
And snow-whit forehead are thsrei
A gIimmeriag erosa and giittering eroEz,
thorny bed, couch Of down.
Lost hopes and lsaGet Of prayer.
A breath of spring in ths breezy woods.
Sweet watts fom the quiverias pines
Blue violet eyes beneath gresn foods.
A bubble Of brooklets. scent Of buds.
B rd wasbers and e,auaber.Ag vines.
A resy wreath and a dmpls hand.
ring and pHghted vow
Three golden links a broken band
thy track the snow-whito sand,
tear AID sinless brow. #E
There's tincture Of grief in The beautiful so7E
That sobs the siumhrous air,
And loneliness, felt in the festive thFons.
Sinks down the soul it trcmblss along
From cline where she roses
We heard it first at the dawa Of day,
And it mingled with natin chimes.
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody fowsth from far away
And We call it now" OLD TIs1Es."

year, 20 days, will have jioe Saturdays

Prophecy-The Negro Ten Years.
Hence.

r. c. Russ, editor Of the -SheIbyville Res
cue, puts forward Gle following prophecy:
We venture to predict that in ten years
from this time the majority of the negroes
Of this State viii be colonized in some ter
ritory. The Radicals who have thus far
used them, politically, to keep in power,
will swap them off for foreign emigrants.
The disfranchised whites, whom they have
so lang been prosecuting by voting with the
Radical party to keep them down, viii say
amen to the movement, and hence they will
be driven out from amongst US The war
that the negroes are waging against the mass
of the white people viii eYentua " settle
their destiny and drive them from the coun-
try The leaders of the Radical party are
already pledged to this doctrine They are
heart and soul for migration. They have
already organized society here, and In
their Contention at Nashville, where they
met to appoint delegates to the Chicago Con
vention to nominate their candidate, Grant,
for the Presidency, pledged themselves for It.
The negro has batone course to pursue to
gave himself from being forced to leave the
country, and that is to drop the Radical
party. Cease to act with party that de-
prives large majority Of the white citizens
Of the State of the elective franchise, and
they may save themselves. If they do not,
they will fad that we have propheeied truly

REPEAL CT THE CoTTox TAx.-The bill
repeating the cotton tax has passed both
houses Of Congress, and has been sent to
the President to get his signature to it. The
bill ezempts. from taxation all domestic cot
ton raised after January lst, 1868, and ad-
nlits free Of duty all cotton from foreign
countries, after November !, 1868 The tax
on foreign grown cotton is three cents per
pound The lifting Of this tax Is more than
equal to keeping the tax on domestic cotton.
Farmers look sharp; a tricky Congress and
swindling manufacturers are after you with
a stick sharpened at both ends. For your
own sake, let cotton alone
