THE UNION AAD AMERICAN.
THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.

Close her eye-lids, press them gently
Ger the dim and leaden eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely
Hath returned into the skies;
Wipe the death-drops from her forehead
Sever one dear golden treSs,
Fold her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the snowy little dress;
Scatter flowers DER her pillow
Gentle flowers, so pure and white
Lay this bud upon her bosom;
There-now softly say, good night
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back,
We are glad her feet no longer
Tread Iife's rough and stormy track;
We are glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure
We are glad he did not leave her
All life's trials to endure;
We are glad-and yet the tear-drop
Falleth for alas we know
That our dreside will be lonely,
We shall miss our darling so.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain 10 feel
Little arms all white and dimpled,
Round our necks so softly steal;
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
OF sweet lips as warm and red,
And our bOsoms sadly, sadly,
Miss that darling little head,
Which was wont TO rest there sveetly,
And those gentle eyes so bright,
We shall miss their loving glances,
We shall miss their soft good night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form,
They wi bear it to the church yard,
AID consign il to the worm.
Well-What matt r. 1t is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God hath robe her as an angel,
she had need Of this no more;
Fold her hands. and DER her pillow
Scatter fiOwsrS, pure and white,
Kiss that marble brow and whisper,
Once again, last good night.

TEACH Us now TO WAIT.

Why are we SO impatient of delay
Longing forever for the time to be?
For thus we live tomorrow in to-day;
Yes, and to-morrows we may never see.
We are too hasty; are not reconciled
To let kind nature do her work alone;
We plant our seed; and like foolish child
We dig it up to see if it has grown.
The good that is TO be we covet now;
We cannot wait for the appointed hour;
Before the fruit is ripe we shake the bough,
And seize the bud that folds away the
flower.
When midnight darkness reigns we do not
That the sad night Is mother of the morn,
We cannot think our own sharp agony
May be the birth-pang of joy unbo.n.
Into the dust we see our idols east,
And cry that death has triumphed, life is
void2
We do not trust the promise, that the last
Ofall our enemies shall be destroyed
With rest almost in sight the spirit faints,
And heart and flesh grow weary at the last;
Our feet would walk the city of the saints
Even be-ore the silent gate is passed.
Teach us to wait until thou shalt appear
To know that all thy ways and times are
Just;
Thou seest that we do believe and fear,
Lord, make us to believe and trnsti

ufacturing.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
CHESTNUT MOUND, Sumner County,
May l, 1S7l.-You published sn article
some time since, detailing at some length
the character of the various resources of
our county, both material and artificial.
But you failed to give the particulars of
the north side of the Ridge.
The north side of the Ridge, in this
county, has, until recently been consid
cred one of the poorest parts OF the State;
but recent developments prove that, with
proper management, it might bemade one
of the better sections of the whole State.
CLOVER,
il has been proven, grows luxuriantly,
and if followed by corn, and then by
wheat, there can be gathered q good
crop of each, after which the clover again
comes without re seeding.
We have a soil that will retain all the
manure put upon it, as long as any in the
State. You can distinctly tell the spot
by the difference in the growth of vege-
tation, from whence barn or stable has
been moved, for twenty years afterward.
We have a stiff, clayey subsoil, very re-
tentive of moisture; hence, our crops suf-
fer much less in severe drouths than those
of limestone soils. We have
FRUIT TRIES
from sixty to seventy years old, that have
not failed to produce fair crop of fruit
in thirty-fiVe years, and probably not
since they were large enough TO bear. Of
late years our farmers are paying much
attention to this portion of husbsndry;
nearly all of them having planted an Or
chard of choice fruit.
TIMBER.
This section of country abounds in as
fine timber as can be found anywhere.
We have almost inexhsustible quantities
of white oak, black oak, chestnut, hickory
and poplar; hence, our mills export vast
| quantities of lumber to the various mar
kets. Our chestnuts furnish vast quantl-
| ties of rails to fence the farms of the
rhinestone" country, and also furnish q
large quantity of nuts for the markets.
MANUFACTURING.
This section could be made a fine man
ufacturing country; there being an album
dance of timber for fuel, beautiful run
ming streams, suitable for the propelling
of machinery, and also black and chest
nut oaks which yield the best of tan
bark, for manufacturing leather. We
have several growing
VILLAGES,
of which Fountain Head, Richland and
Nitchellsville, all on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, are the most impor-
tant. Coatestown, in the eastern part of
the county, is growing place.
OUR FARMERS
are progressing finely, and are in fine
spirits.
THE FROST
in the valleys did considerable injury,
while on the uplands, none. We invite
immigration q e) of the ''honest and in

To the Editors of the Union and American:
TULLAHoMA, May 2, 1S71.-The early
Spring found our farmers unprepsred to
avail themselves of the great advantage
thus afforded; hence oats and corn were
not in the ground as early as last Spring.
Now, however, all is well, the abundant
showers and sunshine stimulating all
vegetation.
Circuit Court at Manchester is in full
session. His Honor, Judge Hickerson in
his charge to the Grand Jury, ably and
forcibly set forth the duties pertsining TO
them, especially in reference to the Ku-
Klux law.
A deplorsble affair occurred on Big
Hurricane last week, resulting in the
shooting of H. E. Poe, an excellent and
esteemed citizen. A feud seems to have
existed among the relatives of the parties,
and, as is usual in such cases, a little fire
kindled a great matter. Here it was q
matter of dogs and sheep. Is it not
wonderful, that men supposed to be "a
iOnsl, and not demons, would hurl to
cath fellow being, whose only offense,
perhaps, is the use of Incorporate Ian
guage or menacing threats, which in cool
moments are gladly forgotten2 When
will this reckless taking of human life
cease Must we fall back on the Mosaic
code to stop it 2 Are our laws so easily
warped, or our juries so easily guIled,
that homicides so seldom receive punish

thing weak somewhere. How men thus
tsmper with their own lives

SPEAKER OF TIE NEXT SENATE.

SPEAKER Or THE NEAE SENATE
To the Editors of the Union and American:
The attention of the public is being d.
rected to various questions connected
with the next Legislature of Tennessee.
Among the topics thus referred to is the
Speakership of the Senate, a position of
much importance, and ought to be filed
by man of intelligence, discretion, pru-
dence, parliamentary experience and
urbane manners. In this connec-
ton, have been pleased to OBJ
serve that a considerable number of
the newspapers in different parts of
the State have spoken of Ger. L.
NJ. Tharpe for that position. This ex-
preston is not derogatory to other Sena-
tors elect, for there are but few men any,
where who are more deserving of that
responsible and honorable position, or
who would likely perform its duties with
more satisfaction to his brother Senators
and the public than Gen. Tharpe. The
writer has served with him as legislator
and lived a near neighbor TO him for
many years. From long and intimate
acquaintance, l feel sanguine that he
would not prove recresnt to any trust,
however important that might be con-
fided to him. **#

CIRCUMSTANCES alter cases they like
wise correct opinions. Up to yesterday
we believed the Republicans of this
county had acted wisely in nominating
their best men. We supposed honesty
and capacity, which was represented by
our ticket In an eminent degree, would
recommend 1t to the sovereigns Of this
county. This morning We desire to revise
that opinion, The party that nominates
good men in this county makes fatal
mistake. This community, as a whole,
has no use for that kind Of material. 1t
prefers ignorance and incompetency, and
for tho present Is abundantly blessed.
