They shall blossom bright ere long.
Are we sowing seeds of discord?
They shall ripen unto wrong.
Are we sowing seeds of honor?
They shall bring forth golden grain,
Are we sowing seeds of falsehood,

Whatsoever our sowing be,

What the seed our hand. shall COW.
Love from love is sure to ripen,

TIE NEW COUNTY.

This is 3 saying which has been handed
around so much IN Hardeman, and 80 little
understood by outsiders, that we are dispo-
sed to make the points in the case public.
For several years pasta number of gentle
men, all of whom had more or less "axes to
grind" and who were interested to a re-
markable degree, petitioned the Legislature
for the formation of a new County to lie
called Virginia, and which was to be COM
posed of portion of Fayette, small por'
ton of McNairy, and a large part of Harde
MANN fact all that portion of Hardeman
from the Fayetts line to the MoNairy line.
along the Charleston railway east and west,
strip of territory twenty three or four
miles in length, by five or six miles in
breadth, which added to the fractions to be
taken from the other two counties, In order
to get the number of miles raquired'by the
State Constitution, would make the county
of Virginia at least sixty five miles long, east
and west by an average of not more than
four miles in breadth. The bill was intro
duced in the Senate passed that body, and
was transmitted to the House. When it
come up on its second reading, in that body,
the ever ready and wide awake Sam Jones,
of Shelby, who was just about that time
looking after the formation of the proposed
new county Of Bartlett, to be composed OF
portion of Fayette and Shelby got the
floor, and during his pertinent speech, said ;
Mr.. Speaker, in conclusion, allow me to
say that l am utterly opposed to the gentle
mans BILL that oppose this new county
movement. And, MIR. Speaker, right here
desire to say as a representative of the
people of Tennessee, that have reverence
and respect for the sacred name of Virginia,
the mother of States and the mother oil
Statesmen, and l move sir, that wherever
the word Virginia occurs in the Bill now
before this House, that it be stricken out
and that the word hams string be inserted
Sir | know the meets and bounds of this

HARD TO BEAT.

A friend of "ye local " tells the following
" good one, which fully illustrates the
character of the Dutch Jew as a tradesman
Ia Cairo, little bow legged, starchy fell
low, just after the war, was selling clothing,
shiste jewelry, puter cutlery, humbug per
fumery, ETC., and he made it point never
to let the first customer go on Monday, be-
ing one of that peculiar people who are
somewhat superstitous as regards the first
chance at a sale on the day mentioned.
After breakfast he planted himself in
front of his store, and, as usual, invited the
nice cIoding" All. passed him; but about
the time hopes of trade were departing,
along came a tall, lean, lank specimen of the
genuine Arkansas backwoodsmen, who had
arrived in town but few hours before, all
ragged and dirty, on his way home from
Northern prison, where he had been eonfn-
ed as prisoner af war for three years As
he approached the glaring show window and
espied the many articles of gentlemen APP
parel so elegantly displayed, he stopped for
a moment, and, perhaps, silently wished
that he could become the happy possessOr
of just one suit, and then started fer the
levee The Jew had his eye on him and
marked him we'll Said he
my frien, come in; keeps der scheep-
est good cIoding in dees town; ind | sells
um to you susie SO seheep as never vas.
Arkansas walked in was shown a num-
Der of articles he needed badly, but when
he thought of his poor purse, which he as
serted contained only three dollars, be could
not purchase. Finally, being pressed to
buy shoddy coat he asked the price.
" Fifteen dollars und sixty cents-dsr
lowest cent; it coste me dat in Moo York, "
was the anxious reply.
Arkansas shook his shaggy head, and said
that there was no use in talking that he
wanted the coat but could not raise but
three dollars, and could not stand it.
Den, says the Jew, 1 tells you vat
shuste do NIT you-und dat a nice coat 2--I
got a note vich ia protest in pank to day, so

a. No use, replied the ex-confederate,
live long ways from here have not been
home in five years, and | havu't got but
three dollars on earth need coat, like
that one, but will have to do without it.
Dropping the coat, and looking wistfully
