no county in the State, which, according
to the white votes polled, that has
polled so few for the Constitution
Col Levers, Capt. A. T. Roane, and
J. L. Lyon, our members elect to the
Legislature, made gallant and yigor-
Gus canvass of this county. They
met Railsback and Flournoy at Sarep-
ia, in this county, few days ago, and
utterly demolished them, causing them
TO leave the house before the speaking
was over. 1t was glorious victory
for the Democracy, and as it occurred
near the corner of four counties, Cal
houn, Chickasaw, Lafayette, and Pom
totoc, the effects of the discussion was
felt in each of the counties If the
election had been three weeks off there
would not have been ten votes in the
county for the Constitution Out OF
over $50 negroes that voted, only 2t
voted for the Constitution; all the
other votes for it were whites. SenC

New Postage Stamps.

A new style of postage stamps will
soon supersede those now in use. The
contract for the supply has been awarded
by the Postmaster General to the National
Note Company of New York. The new
stamps will be somewhat smaller than
those in use at present, and are delicate
and elegant engravings. Three of the
set illustrate the postal service; the two.
cent stamp represents primitive mail
carrier on horse back, such as is still
necessary among the sparse population
of the West; the three,cen postage
stamp shows mill-train, as illu trating
the land seavice, while the twelve-cent
denomination exhibits steamer at sea,
as an exemplifcation of the ocean mail.
The five-cent stamps bear portrait of
Washington, being an accurate copy of
Stuart's picture at the White House. The
ten and thirty cent stamps are real gems !;
the former being miniature copy of
Trumbull's Signing the Declaration, ="
and the letter of his Surrender at York
town." from the national pictures at the
Capital. A convenient and certain meth
cd of canceling stamps is a matter of
great Importance in the postal service.
In country Offices the stamp is cancelled
with pen and ink; and this is considered
effectual in consequence of the checkered
or embossed surface which may J e seen
on the back of stamps. This puncture
or enclosing breaks the fibre of the paper
and permits the commonest ink to form
what is regarded as an ineffaceable union
with the material on which the stamp is
printed. Some new and ingenious modes
of cancellation have been submitted to
the Post office Department, but they were
considered too complex, and the old meth
cd will continue in use

The Joy of the Lord.

1. It is the jog Of rest. How delight
full after the trials and labors of the day,
to lie down and have sweet rest And
how blessed the rest of heaven after
LIES tolls are all over. 1t is not the
10y of the traveller when he stops for
the night to rest his weary limbs amid
the hardships of his journey, but the JOY
he will feel when he finds himself safe at
his journeys end.
2. 1t is, therefore, the jog Of being at
home. Who has not seen some friend
after long and painful separation, reach
his own dear home once more, in the en-
brace of friends and kindred? What is
all this compared to the sacred JOY of the
Christian pilgrim who is brought home
to his Fathers house after having passed
through so many perils and tempests of
earth!
o the blessed society of that holy
world Angels that never sinued-sin-
ners redeemed and purified through the
blood of Jesus-and above all Jesus the
mediator-Our friend and elder brother.
What sweet songs of praise will come
from the golden harps forever
Into that peaceful happy world no
enemy shall ever enter-from it no friend
shall ever depart. o may the grace of
God prepare me for it, and bring me
safely to it. OLD PILGRIM.

Manufacture of Sermons.

1t appears from circular which has
found its way into the London Times,
that the manufacture of sermons is still
carried on, at very reasonable rate of
charge for the manufactured article. An
enterprising sermoniser, who dates from
Bognor, has undertaken to quiet the
"frequent murmurings against uninter-
esting sermons, }" by supplying, for the
trifing sum of 81 los. per annum, one
carefully written, sound, orthodox SER
mon every Sabbath" For "a los, the
clergyman whom visiting and other
parochial duties deprive of the time aud
opportunity for preparing discourses of
his own, may have two sermons. The
price of a single ordinary sermons is Is,
and for a single sermon on any particular
subject, as for instance the doctrine OF
election or the doctrine of free grace,
the charge is only 5s. 1t does not ap-
pear that originality is guaranteed, for
the sermons have to be returned every
three months to do duty in some other
favored spot.

disobeyed their mother, and gone to play
instead of going to school, and both of
them were sick for several weeks in con-
sequence of their folly and exposure.
A boy that minds-he is a jewel.
l had been in business a year or two,
and in that time had had several boys;
but it was next to impossible to find one
that would mind At last | was quite
out of patience, and | determined that |
woald have no one who could not
bring the best recommendation, and stand
the closest test. Several applied tor the
place, but no one suited us. AT last
came blue eyed, faxen-haired youth of
twelve years, with bright, honest face.
There was something engaging in his
aspect. Had l seen him before" p
"What is your name"
Charlie Warren, sir. | live in
Franklin street. My father is carpen-
ter, but is lame now, and cannot work,
and | have mothers consent to 60 into
store, if can find place."
1t was the very Charlie whom l had
seen playing at marbles. l remembered
the circumstance, and knew that he would
mind. | did not need recommendation
for him, but gave him the place, and
twice as much pay as l had promised to
give.
Charlie came to work on Monday
morning. 1t seemed hard for him, the
first week of work, but he behaved like
man. The boys in the next store came
in and made his acquaintance. One
morning l heard two of them trying to
persuade Charlie to 90 off with them
down on the wharves in the forenoon and
see a boat race that was to come off,
"No, said Charlie, mother told me to
mind my business, and | am paid for
staying here, and don't think it right to
go off without my employers knowing it.
That was brave word, and | thought
more of Charlie than ever.
That was ten years ago. He has been
with me ever since, and proved to be the
best clerk l ever had. Yesterday we
put up new sign, and on it, in large
gilt letters, was Charles full name
The store is his own. He is now pros
porous, promising young man, and if he
lives, will be rich, honored man. And
all this because one bright morning he
minded his mother when she called him.
From such little things do great results
come. Always mind, and it will be al
ways well with you,-Ladies' Repository.

"CharIe, come in, l want you, said

who was playing marbles on the sidewalk
in front of nice brick house.
Now Charlie was very busy, and in

then was like quitting the table when

We looked with interest to see what he
would do. What would you have done? !

Another Word to our Virginia Young
Men.

The abundant crops of corn and cot
ton raised in this State during the pre-
sent year, render this a peculiarly ia
vorable time for immigration.
Any young man of good moral charac-
ter and steady, industrious habits, can
find employment as soon as he reaches
here, even if he do not possess single
dollar of capital. The fare from Lynch
burg to Memphis is $2S.75; from Mem
phis to this place, 81.
1t will afford me pleasure to give any
information or render any assistance in
my power to any young man who desires
to come to this country.
The average crop of the present year
has been about bale of cotton worth
$100) and forty bushels of corn to the
acre; allowing fifteen acres to an indi-
vidual, the gross receipts would amount
to $1,000 for cotton, the money crop on
ten acres, and two hundred bushels of
corn 40 bbls.) on the remaining five
acres, not to mention other articles which
can be easily raised. The attention of
the farming community is also being
turned to tobacco crop, and success
has crowned their efforts in most in
stances.
But you perhaps may be laboring un-
der unnecessary fears relative to the po-
litical status of Arkansas. We would
simply say it is just as good as that of
Virginia, or any of our Southern States /;
furthermore, you may not be aware of
the fact that the proportion of white to
colored in the population of the State is
three to one.
