From 'Southern Society."l
A SOUTHERN CHILD'S LAMENT.

Mama, they say tits Christmas eve,
But tell nc, can it be?
It brings no smile upon your face.
No merriment to me;
I ar weary of these snow-clad hills.
No longer would I ROAM;
Oh, take me to the orange groves,
At our deserted home.
Our parlor looks so dark tonight:
We have no Christmas tree;
No dainties on our table spread
Mama how can it be?
The grass at home is soft and green;
The skies are bright above, B.
And little birds sing merrily
Their songs of joy and love.
long to breathe the pure fresh air,
To see those bright blue skies,
Tt wander DER our garden walks,
And chase the butterflies;
I long to see the tall pine trees,
For through their boughs to-day,
The wind is signing ~mournfully,
Because we stay away.
My child your simple artless speech,
Makes tears unbidden start
The light is dim Wltnln our nome,
Come out within my heart,
And if across our darkened path
Hope casts a trembling CLEAN,
It's but the phantom of a JOY,
The mockery of q dream.
One promise sweet, sustains me now;
To suffering ones tits given,
That they who bear the cross on earth,
Shall wear the crown in heaven.
One gift alone I claim as ours;
Upon the coming morn,
One gift from heaven-a glorious boon
The promised Saviour born.

The Pennsylvania Central and the Balti-
more and Ohio Roads have not only to en-
counter the seventies of colder climate, but
have to cross the Allegheny Mountains,
with grades for many miles varying from
los to 116 feet to the mile, difficulties equiv
alent to proportionate increase of distance
while on the Covington and Ohio Road from
the Ohio Eastward, for two hundred miles,
there is no grade exceeding 20 feet to the
mile, the mountain is crossed by a grade OF
2955 feet, and then it is descending all the
way to Covington.
Distance, too, are in our favor.
Take Chicago as a centre for the North
west. It is true that there are some short
unfinished gaps of railroad to be filed up,
but the laws of trade, operating like the laws
of gravitation, will force them to be finished.
As water flows by the s~traightest defending
channel. as a stone dropped falls to the
ground by the most direct line, the trade
from that region will come to this road in
the valley of the Kanawha as soon as it is
finished, because it not only has the easiest
grade, bnt it is the shortest route and will
therefore be the cheapest.

EXTRAORDINARY ADVANCE IN
CoTToN.-The commercial men of
New Orleans were in ecstasies- fairly
electri6ed-yesterday, at the almost
unprecedented rise in cotton in this
market, an advance from two to two
and half cents per pound being real
lied on all qualities of the "feecy
staple" Such an advance has not
been known to occur here we venture
to assert upon the authority of our
own recollection and the information
of those well posted-for the last
twenty or thirty years, while the
sales were correspondingly remarkable,
reaching over eleven thousand bales,
the largest number sold in any one
day since the close of the war.-Nea0

IA The beautiful weather we have
been enjoying Of late, is causing the
planting community to stir round at
considerable rate, making what ar.
engagements they can for cropping.
All say they have done with cotton.
We shall see, and hope to find it So
Cane, corn, hay, potatoes, peas, to
bacco and other products which go to
make up mixed crops, are far. more
likely to escape destruction from the
browsing worm, or withstand the
fckleness of the seasons, than cotton,
and therefore it is the better part of
wisdom to eschew the cultivation of
cotton and take more largely to that
of the hitherto too much neglected
cereals, esculents &c.

A DETECTIVE Spy HoAxED.-In
Chicago one Rabbit has sued whole
sale liquor dealer named Flows for
swindIiug Rabbit, according to his
confession, is a United States deteo.
tive, and being suspected of being
such by Flows, whom he had fire.
quently approached with shy inqui-
ries as to where he could purchase
some high wines "cheap," trap was
laid to catch Mr.. Detective, who at
once put his foot in it. Flows and
his friends made arrangements with
distillery for five unbranded barrels of
water, to be delivered when wanted.
Flows then sold to the detective "ten
barrels of high wines" at IS cents .
gallon-a big thing for the purchaser,
who got sold, not withstanding. The
ten barrels were to be delivered as
stated above, and Rabbit, to bind
the bargain, advanced S97, all the
money he had, to Flows. The latter
then dispatched a messenger to the
distillery, with orders to have five bar.
rels of water delivered to the place
designated by Rabbit. Flows also dis
patched a note to the U. s. Collector,
informing him that five barrels of con-
traband ''Auid' would be quietly de-
llvered at such place at such an
hour. Things worked capitally. The
unbranded bar els were bounced down
upon aud the Government "tasters,"
though very little acquainted with
the article, declared the contents to
be water The entrapped detective
wants his money back again, and
caused the arrest of Flows, who
waived examination and gave bail to
appear IN the Recorders Court. The
