POETICAI..
BETTER LATE rhAN NEVER.

Life is like a race where some succeed,
While Others are beginning;
'Tls luck i'll some, in others speed,
That gives an early winning;
But if you chance to fall behind,
Ne'er slaclen your endeayor;
Just keep this wholesome truth in mind
a. 'Tis better late than never"
And, If you keep ahead, tits well,
But never trip your neighbor;
Ills noble when you can excel,
By honest, patient labor;
But If You are outstripped at last,
- Press on as bold as ever;
Remember, though You are surpassed,
Tis better late than never."
Ne'er labor for an idle boast,
Or victory Ger another;
But while You strive your utterinoSf
Deal fairly with a brother;
W haie ef your station, do your best,
And hold your purpose ever;
Remember though you are surpassed,
Tis better late than never!"
Choose well the path in which you run
Succeed by noble daring;
Then, though the last, when once Ills won,
Your crown is worth the wearing.
Then never fret If left behind,
Nor slacken your endeavor,
But ever keep this truth in mind
'Tis better late than never.

Mn, GEORGE W. STocKwELL has
lately invented q coordination
tool which is thus described by
the Natchez Courier H.
1T is literally a miniature car
pentcrShop. At first appearance
ii seems. to be q very handsome
tack hammer, with the claw so at
tachod that il can be used sepa
rate and apart from the hammer.
But on closer investigation, we
find that it is truly what its name
indicates, n combination tool"
for it is equally adapted to be used
as a can opener, a gimlet . chisel,
q rule, a square and scribe,o a
screw, driver, q compass, a gauge,
or a rivet-hammer ; the whole be-
ing a complete yet strong tool,
weighing but little more than an
ordinary hammer. We will not
now attempt a minute description
of this truly ingenious invention
suffice it TO say that the movable
handle is so arranged that the in
strument can be applied to It's diff
ferCnt uses BY simply turning a
screw

we think the crop Of next year

Worth less. Let the planters have
4 clear and decided understanding
with the negro. We have petted
the negro long enough. Let US
now place him on the footing of
a stranger. He has chosen, as his
friends, the carpet Dagger and
scallaway therefore he deserves
no fayors from us. Let us deal
with him fairly and justly requir-
ing the last a%rarthing; and we
should have him understand that
lie has no claim upon us further
than for his labor and service.
We hope that our planters will
employ white labor and foreign
emigrants whenever practicable,
and thus learn by actual experience
their real value. We urge the
farmer by all means TO plantplenty
Of corn, and oats if possible, and
plenty OF potatoes, peas, turnips,
etc. Sow old, unused fields with
clover or grass seed, and thus
furnish pasturage to stock, and
enrich the land. Above all things
