OLD TINES.

Rosy hours Of youth and fancy!
Happy hours OF Long Ago!
All, the playful, pictured memories
Let us catch them as they flow.
Galaxies Of blue-eyed Marys,
With q Julia or a Jane,
Or a troop of little Lauras
Laugh and blush and romp again.
Moonlight meetings, evening rambles,
When the night was still around,
And a sweet voice, softly muTmuring,
Or kiss, the only sound
These remember, and remember
How the kind stars shone above.
Keeping. in their sOttened splendOr,
Watch and ward upon our love.
Youth is as a diamond dawning--
Bold ii breaks 10 gorgeous day:
H~6hly lights of power and beauty
Glance and CLEAN along its way.
Far within the mighty future
There be solemn voices heard:
Shaped TO many stately anthem.
Floats the music OF % word.
Bat that music. in the present.
Softly droOps, with sad decay,
Til its echo in tho spirit
Paints and fails aud dies away.
Green he then the tender memory
OF the Past, forever sped
That our youth may be immortal,
Though its days and dreams are dead

Gone Before.


There's beautiful faco in tho silent air,
Which follows mo over and near,
with smiling eyes and amber hair,
with yoioeless lips, yet with breath of prayer,
That feel, but cannot hear.
The dimplcd hands and ringlcts of gold
Lie low in amnrble sleep;
stretch my arm for tho clasp of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold
An my vigil alone keep.
There's sinlcss brow, with radiant crown,
And cross laid down in the DUST
There's smilo where not shade comes now,
And tears no more from those dear eyes flow,
so sweet in their innocent trust.
All, well and summer is coming again,
Singing her same old song;
lnt, oh! it sounds like sob Of pain,
AS 1t floats in tho sunshine and the rain,
Ger hearts of tho worlds great throng.
There's n beautiful region above the skies,
Aud long to reach its Shore
For know that shall find my treasure thoce

Or the loved emo gone before.

LyNou LAw.--Lynch law is tolcrably ef.
fcctivc, but it has it's faults. Mistakes arc
liable to occur. The other day, in Illinois, a
vigilance committee hung, man because he
looked like another man who had stolen a
horse. The mistake was discovered after tho
mans neck had been twisted all out Of shape,
and the breath had permanently removed
from his body Flo naturally felt little
cool toward that committee, and no amount
of apology on their part could restore him to
his proper senses. mhelynch law men should

planters may, with profit to themselves, MD

cotton mills Of sufficient capacity to work up
their cotton crops. These mills should bo

who will give their undivided attention, with
experts in charge of the mechanical depart.

and woven goods. Of this, large amount
would be paid out for wages, and that to q
class that is now not only unemployed in

the most part, burden upon their parents or

Here, now, is "a practical suggestion. Can.
not the planters Of the State form joint stock

cotton worked up hero at home, thus bono.

tho matter be considered.
