MAKE MORE BUrTER-Butter is very high,
and it is desirable to increase the supply of an
article 10 such general use.
There is out one way OF doing this We can
not increase the number of cows so as to meet
the demand this fall and winter, but we can by
liberal feeding enable the COWS that we have TO
give more milk, or at least we can get milk con-
tanning from one-third to one halt more butter.
That liberal feeding will do this there can be no
question

AN EXAMPLE.-We know young man, a
native of Mississippi, who was born to affluence
as his great grandfather Virginia gentleman,
had been before him. He was about seven
teen years old when the war ended; up to
which time he had lived in luxurious home;
his father before the war having yearly In
come of not less than thirty thousand dollars
in gold, all of which he spent on his home
and its inmates. His children never had
wish for anything that money could buy that
it was not anticipated. The war lett the
father with nothing but his land; for both ar
mics had passed near his plantation, and his
stock and household furniture had disappeared
passed, what was left, under the auctioneer
hammer for Confederate money. Aud even
the land was not his, for old security debts
claimed and obtained mortgage on that.
What did our young hero, for he is worthy
Of the name, do under such circumstances
He took his hands out of his pocket and put
them to the plow BY his individual labor
he planted and cultivated five acres OF cotton
and fifteen of corn, besides an aero or two 10
popcorn and peanuts.
Work was hard for him at frst-very hard.
As he told the writer:-'l thought l never
would learn to hoe. My hands would pain
me so that would almost weep, but before
the summer was outI could hoe row with
the best hand in Mississippi"
He had good land bringing full bal OF cotton
or thirty or thirty-fve bushels of corn to the
acre. and his years work has netted HIM from
$500 to 81 200. He is now going to school ID
Virginia on the proceeds.
We're the example of that young man fol-
lowed generally by our Southern youth. how
rapidly this country would recuperatc and en-
joy material prosperity unknown to it In the

Those Arms. Tie 5000 guns lately
landed at Memphis, and which were destined
for Little Rock, Arkansas, and to be used by
the loyal leaguers, have met a watery grave.
On last Thursday evening one week ago a
little boat called the Hesper7 manned by radi-
Gals, received the guns as so much freight
About 3 clock she started out Later in
the day, q small tow-boat landed at Fort
Pickering, short distance below the city
about one hundred men, all strangers, and
securely masked, suddenly went aboard Of
tie tow-bOat, and ordered the captain to turn
the bow of his vessel down stream and put
on all the steam he could raise. About
eight o'clock, and when some thirty miles
below Memphis, the Hesper was oTerhauled
at woodward on the Arkansas side. The
tug was landed along side of the Hesper;
the strangers went aboard Of the latter craft,
broke open the boxes containing the guns
and threw them, together with a large
amount of ammunition found in the hull Of
the Hesper, into the river, where they viii
remain until doom's day The object Of the
mysterious strangers having been fully ac-
complished, they again boarded the tug and
ordered her captain to stear northward and
be sure to run into a sand bar in the middle
of the Tennessee chute, opposite Presidents
Island, about eight miles below the city of
Memphis. Their orders were minutely
obeyed; when the point named had been
reached, skiis containing a solitary oars
man, who was dressed in the habiliments of
the tomb, with hat about as unsightly as
a goblin damned" shot out from dark re
cess on the Islands bank and six at a time,
landed the destroyers Of them guns near
the margin Of a swamp. From whence they
came, or where they went, no mortal wight
can tell. Ghe tug, considerably Gghtened,
backed of the bar and arrived at Memphis
Wednesday morning just before noon, and
the crew soon told what we have here re
peated The Hesper came in also on the
Friday following, and the " Ger true tale "
was again and again repeated to attentive
ears. It is thought in Memphis that the
whole thing was gotten up and executed by
radicals for eleetioneering purposes up
North To use the language Of an exchange,
we don't know nor do we care who destroyed
the gans, but one thing is certain: The peo-
pie of Arkansas are certainly under obIiga-
tions to them for the faithful performance
Of a good work in the cause Of humanity
Let US have peace" must have been their
motto.

FLOWERS.

Beautiful flowers wherever yo bloom,
With sof5inted leaves and fragrant perfums
Whether in Spring ye come forth from the ground
Or when Autum seatters her dead leaves around;
Whether in palace cottage ye dwell,
Beautiful flowers 1 love ye well.
Behold young girl in her mirthfuI play.
Laughing the hours O childhood away;
The light winds waving her sunny hair.
And her voice sounds sweet in the silent air,
While her fair hands tsning from sumner bowers
Wild blooming wreaths Of the beautiful flowers.
The scene is now changed, for years have flown;
That gay, laughing girl a woman has grown
And the lover is there who fain would tell
The secret their eyes have revealed too well!
But flowers he plants in her snowy breast,
Aud their eloquent leaves have his love confessed.
"Tis bridal morn, and loudly swolls
merry peal from the old church bells;
The white robei bride is smiling now,
Meath butding wreath from the orange bougL:
Aad bright eyed maidens before her strew
Beautiful flowers of every hue
There's voice Of sorro75-i0r time hath fed
wife and mother lies cold and dead;
They have lad her to sleep in her endless rest
With young babe elasp'd to her marble breast;
Aud flowers are there with their perfumed breath.
Decking the bud and the blossom in death.
In She green ohuroh-yard in lonely spot,
Where the joyous sunshine enters not;
Deep the gloom Of the cypress shade
There is her home the cold earth made
And over her still the sweet fow'rets bloom
They were near her in life and forsake her tomb
Beautiful flowers, ye seem to be
Linkd in tho fond ties Of memory
Companions ye were our childh0ods day
Companions ye arc to our Iifeless clay;
And barren and drear were this world Of ours,
Lacking the smile Of the beautiful flowers.
