IN TIE MIST,
Bx PAUL R. HAYNE.

BN PAUL Z. HA1Nk.
More fearful grows the hillside way,
The gloom no softening breeze hath kissed
glance far upward to the Day,
But scarce can catch one faltering ray
From out the mist
Alb heaven to think youths morning prime,
All flushed with rose and amethyst,
Its tender loves, its hopes sublime,
Should shrink to the dull twilight-time
OF cold and mistl
No tranquil evening hour descends,
When peace and memory holds her tryst,
But Doubt with prescient Terror blends,
And Grief her mournful carfew sends
Along the mist
Weird shapes aud wild stalk strangely by,
And say, What bodeful voices hissed
Where yonder blasted pine.trunks lie,
What mystic phantoms shuddering fly
Far down the mist!
Dark omens all they bid me stay,
Unsheathe resolve, pause strive, resist
That poisonous Charm which haunts thy way;
Alas the Fiend, more bold than they,
Still rules the mist
And now from gulfs of turbulent gloom
A torrents threatening thunder, list!
That ravening roar; that hungry boom!
Down, down pass to meet my doom
Within the mist
Hearth DRd Home.

SAvE.-Save something, no matter how
little it may be, always save something.
Never turn away your head from small saw
ings; they are the foundation of all great
ones. A penny is not much. Many man
would rather throw away penny than pick
it up, if it lay before him. Yet a penny a
day is nearly eight dollars year, eight dol"
lars is the interest of between one and two
hundred dollars capital. "Waste not, want
not" is an old saying and he whOis e1trav'
agant enough to cast idly away what can be
made useful, though it be but triAe, may
expect to see the day when even that trihe
would be acceptable.

FLowERs.-It is said that almost all kinds
of flowers sleep during the night. The
margold goes to bed with the sun and rises
weeping. Many plants are so sensitive that
their leaves will close during the passage of
a cloud. The dandelion opens at five or six
in the morning. The daisy opens its days
eye to meet the early beams of the morning
sun. The crocus, tulip and many others,
close their blossoms at different hours toward
evening. The ivy-leafed lettuce opens at
eight in the morning, and closes forever at
four in the evening. The night-fOwer cereus
turns night into day: it begins to expand
its magnificent, sweet>scented blossoms in the
twilight it is in full bloom at midnight,
and closes neveritO open at the dawn Of day.
In clover-6eld not a leaf opens till after
sunrise. So says celebrated author, who
has devoted much time to the study Of plants,
and often watched them in their slumbers.
Those plants which seem to be awake all
night he styles the bats and owls of che
vegetable kingdom.

LABoR.-Labor is Divine institution.
"Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work" 1t promotes the virtues, moral
social and intellectual, it develops the vial
functions and physical organs. Itpreserves
the health of the robust and restores the in-
valid. Itincreases intelligence BY improving
the intellectual faculties. BurriIt, the learn
ed blacksmith, labOred eight hours at the an
vii, while he acquired tie knowledge OF hfty
different language and an amount OF hlstorl-
cal study and miscellaneous intelligence un-
exampled in modren times. The philosopher
Pythagoras interspersed his studies with la
Dor and gymnastic exercises where he was as
distinguished for his strength and prowessi
as he became celebrated for his eloquence
and learning. Every organ is improved BY
use. The sailors hands increase in size from
climbing ropes. the blacksmith's arm from
handling the hammer. The chest of the
bOatman is expended from habitual rowing
Every occupation acts upon particular organs
They increase and become active BY cultiVa
ton.

"a DEAD. GENTLEMAN ALIVE" is the
latest New York sensation, interpreted in
the story of Mrs. Walters, who buried a
husband about year ago. During her wild
owhood she became acquainted with Mile.
Jeanette Willard, blonde with splendid
physique and commanding figure, liking
her so much that she finally took her to
her home. The Willard soon introduced
Mr.. Willston into the family, and be called
occasionally to see both the widow and her
charming portegee. 1t was no. long before
the young man made an impression upon the
heart of Mrs. Walters, and it was not much
longer before it became very evident that two
years could hardly pass and leave Mrs. Wal
ters widow. And, strange as it may seem,
Mile. Willard appeared to look favorably
upon the suit of the young soldier. Indeed,
she had been instrumental in forwarding the
courtship, but mad done SO rather under
cover, so that no completely would appear
between herself and Williston. One day
Williston was suddenly taken ill and sent for
Mrs. Walters. She came, of course, and he
confessed to her that Jeanette Willard was
| his wife and that he was soon to die; but
before he died he must be forgiven by Mrs.
Walters-must have her swear, on her bended
knees, that his wife and child should be her
care-should never feel want-should be-
come as her own daughter and child. If she
would do this be would die happy. The
oath was taken and WillistOn was supposed
to die. Mrs. Walters at once entered upon
the discharge of her sacred trust and pre-
sented the Willard with $4,000, after which
the latter disappeared from New York. The
lscousoate widow became half frantic with
grief, and sent force of detectives to dis
cover the body of the Willard, that it might
be decently inferred. Their efforts proved
successful. The Willard was found, alive
and living with Williston, in Western city.
The widow was naturally utterly astOnished
but she refused to institute any proceedings
for the recovery of her money, which Viii
liston and his accomplice coOlly said had
been a voluntary gift, adding that they in
tended to stick to it.

A NEGRO ORATOR.

INCENDIARY AND INDECENT HARAAGUE By
NEGRO ORATOR.
Henry Mayson, colOred man of this
town, is reported as having haranSued
crowd in the Court House of Rankin county
on Saturday last, in the following style. lie
was accompanied by Captain Fisher, men,
Der Of the Egsleston State Executive Cons
mittee, and late of the Committee Of Sixteen,
who spoke on the occasion. Mayson is,
therefore, properly speaking, representative
man, aud leader Of his party. These facts
give to his utterances unusual Significance !:
Maysou took the stand aud for nearly two
hours poured forth such sluice of vulgar,
indecent, blasphemous and incendiary III
bsldry as we have never heard from mortal
lips before. He denounced the white people
of Rankin county as SET Or dammed, otiuA-
ing rebels and scoundrels ); called Hiram
Jones, Old Jackall Jones; called Dr. Catch

of jackson, as the damned blatherskite Irish;
of Gov Humphreys, as Old Ben Humphreys
who was kicked out of the Governors man>
sion; abused Old Joe Davis, Old Mays,
Old jeff. Davis, Old Brown, and various
other gentlemen, and asserted that he was
sent here as an emmssary aud incendiary,
and that he was paid for coming. He said
that CASTILLO had sworn before the Recon-
struction Committee that the negroes of this
State were we're in favor of expelling the
whites. He would Lot say that Castillo
spoke the truth, but he would say that he
was for the Government, and it the Governs
ment said hang every damned rebel, from
Jeff. Davis down, he was in for doing 1t.
He had no confidence in Old Kitchens, OF
any other damned Rankin rebel, and be was
glad to know that Bill MCGOWAN had been
placed over them to keep them straight. He
then told the negroes that the Government
had thirty thousand acres Of land within SIX
miles of Bradon, which they could get at a
bit an acre, and advised them to stop work.
ing for white rebels. He said that the rebel
democrats, by their keenness, had got Grant
and half the republican party on their side
and the colored people should look out fol
themselves. His whole speech was one con-
tinued TRADE of abuse, and damned white
rebel scouudrels' seemed to be tavorltt
expression. Everything was said that coulC
be said to exasperate and inhame the white
people present, and his object was evidently
to get up a riot in order to have an excuse
for arresting some of our prominent citizens

AN INHUMAN MILLIoNAIRE.-A New
York correspondent of the Buffalo CONNER
ciaI tells this story concerning a millionaire
who, he says, is known throughout the cOun-
try, and one of his portcrs who had been in
his service for fifteen years: "About three
months ago the porter's wife and six child'
rem were all prostrated at the same time BY
scarlet fever. As he could not remain away
from the store he had to hire a woman to
take care of them. Very soon he found
himself penniess. Needing the money sore
ly, and thinking his employer might aid him,
he laid the whole case before the merchant,
describing the condition of his family, and
then appealing for an increase of wages,
partly on the ground of fifteen years ser.
vice. The merchant heard him through and
said: Aud so, nv, man, have been sup
porting your family for fifteen years ? The
porter was taken aback by this, but rejecting
on his needs, he answered" ."Yes, sir. 'Well'
my man, think 1 have been supporting
your family long enough. Go to the cashier
and get your account settled. And thus

Mas. DR. WALKER AND THE GOVERN,
MENT OFFICIALs.-A Washington CORE.
pondent of the Cincinnati Times says: The
local newspapers for months past have been
publishing humorous articles upon the fruit
less efforts of poor, little woman, to secure
iplace under the government where she
could earn her bread honestly. These
squibs have caused almost every government
official to whom she has applied to turn
deaf ear to her appeals, and she is now al>
most in a state of utter destitution. 1t is
true she is queer, and insists upon wearing
a mans coat and breeches; but what of
that? DG,ing the war she did all in her
power to aid the suffering, wounded Union
soldiers, and was herself taken prisoner; and
now she applies for a trifiug place, she is
snappishly refused, and her poverty made
by-word and jest of. She applied to certain
cabinet officer, few days ago, to give fe,
male friend of hers an appointment. The
naughty official looked at her with disdain,
and said:
al shall not give your friend an appoint,
ment, nor you either, so there's an end Of it,"
But, sir" persisted Mrs. Walker the
lady in whose behalf l appeal is suffering
for want of the necessaries of life. She Is
capable, deserving, and is in great need"
t'Uant neIp 1t, SAID the omcIaI
dwell, then, if you can't give the lady an
appointment, give it to me, and I'll do the
work and divide the money with her,"
"You have my answer" said the Official
sternly, "and there's no use talking any more
about it."
At this the proud spirit of the little wO-
msu rose up within her., and she exclaimed,
warmly,
"Then tell you, sir, that your cruelty
will recoil upon yourself. l prophesy that
your children will beg for bread before you
die"
"I have no children,,' replied the official.
"Well, then," retorted the little woman,
"you will come to want before you die, and
prophesy that you will bitterly repent haV'
ing treated this poor woman as you have
done" Saying which she left the presence
of The great man.
A few days afterward the lifeless body OF
respectable white woman was found In the
canal, and [ am told it was the one whom
Mrs. DR.. Walker had appealed in vain for
petty appointment. The poor woman, stung
to madness, committed suicide BY throwing
herself in the canal. Verify, truth is more
strange than fiction.
The " Doctor" 1 understand, finding she
can't get an appointment for herself, is COL
lecting statistics to show how the patronage
of the Government is distributed. She has
discovered in one department, where rule
is in force prohibiting the appointment oi
more than one member of family, that SIX
persons, all belonging to one family, are now
enjoying official ease iD the same department
where this rule is nominaly in force.
