fAoToRiEs The Herald says that
the citizens OF Dallas have subserib-
el $4,000 TO build sp a cotton and
wool factory ia their u,ldst, This
sum. judging from the estimates
published HI the lasi Times, will be
sufficient TO purchase and put in rLn-
ming order machinery capable OF
turning out at least IO0,O 900 yards
of cotton cloth, and perhaps ONE
hall as much wOollen goods, Dallas
h-s the enyiable reputation OF bs'pg
filled with u sagaeious, liberal mind
ed, enterprising people, aud this
new movement can but add fresh,
laurels to her already justly merited
fame, while at tho same time Ii
will add largely both 20 her con-
yenienee aud wealth. She is only
casting her bread upon the waters,
aud each erumb will return speodi-
ly, weighing at least pound. This
movement is neither novel nor haE'
ardous-it has been tried elsewhere
with unbounded success, and can
but rebound to the permanent good
Of any community or city adopting
Il. Read the following from the
Selma lines, and learn profitable
lesson:
Some years ago the city Of fAugus.
tn, Maine, apprcciating the value OF
mills and factories us n means OF in
creasing trade aud population,
bought tract OF Land with water

and presented il to Senator Spraguc

years have given TO Augusta mills
running forty thousand spindlcs,
and in less that ten years there may
be four hundred thousand.
Tho city is growing in population
every day, rbal estate has doubled
and treHed in value, and the citizens
know that the best Investment they
ever made was when thoy gave away
u quarter of n million OF dollars for
the cncourrgement of manufactures.

Gray, old Winter is gone with his gloom,
Ills clouds have foated off from the skies,
Aud mid the green drap'ry over his tomb,
The Violet opens her deep blue eyes.
Who does not love the modest Violet,
The gcntlest of the wildwood's flowers?
'Tis loyelier than the mignonette,
And the herald of the sunshine hours.
But not Of violets alone we sing
In our rude, untutored muses. strain,
But of all the blossoms that classic Spring
Is showering over field and plain.
How very sweet il were TO wander now
Afdr from the dusty haunts of men,
And feel the breath on The fevered brow,
The breath of the breeze in woodland glen!
Yes, sweet it is to rove or linger where
No structures reared by man are seen,
And Smell The odors on tie balmy all
When the grottoes Of the oojs are green.

To tread the blb6mful wood. paths wind

down
Through many breezc-kisscd, budding

'How many weirdly waking dream we'll see,
How sweet will sound in natures bowers
The low droning of the passing bee,
The gauze winged robber Of the flowers!
The active mocking-bird with tuneful throat,
Sings her woven lays in the grove nearby,
While from the oak-swung wind -harps float
The forests wild, mysterious sigh.
The nectar-sipping humming- birds o wing,
The delicate little painted one,
Over the rose her bright wings trembling,
And flashing like gems in the April sun.
And the joyous wood-birds fit among

And, sweeter than Malbran' : Sweet tongue,
Their wood notes wild are woven into Moof.
