King Cotton looked forth and his fields wore
And his srm felt strong and his eye looked
Through tho flecce-covered stocks ho saw un-
marvellous vision of yellow gold.

So they stripped their lands of tho harvest

Till the stalks looked black in the autumn

And they counted their bales till tho figures
Their wealth in pieces and pounds of gold.
Then they looked at their fields, now stripped
And they said, "Wc must buy to eat and wear"
King Corn, in the West, cav his fair domain
In the autumn sun wave it's miles of grain,
And dotting his pastures and fields were seen
Sleek herds whero the grass grew lush and
green.

And they gathered their golden ears with q
Till their plethoric cribs stood heapcd and

And, the King Of the South to these men Of

For their golden ears sent his golden coin
And the King Of the Loom and Spindlcs, thon
From his Eastern throne hailed his million
What, no! my subjects, come forth from your
homes,
Send the thrill of steam through your cum
ming looms.
Weave your costly raimcnt, your carpets rare,
For the King Of tho Golden Fleece to wear,
And the spindles whirled and the ehuttlcs
flew,
Weaving their woofs Of every hue,
Which they rolled in many glossy fold,
To tempt from the King his Southern gold.
From his Northern home tho Railroad King
Called his subjects forth at the anyil's ring;
What, ho! my subjects, the Cotton King needs
Our iron roads and their lightning steede;
Let us use our wealth, and the sum twice

Will roll from the South in yellow gold.
And these iron steeds on tho prairies gleam
With their harness of steel and their rcins of

And our gold rolls back, and ts magic ring
Is heard in the halls of tho Railroad King.

That his fields were bare and his Golfers too.

AGRICULTURAL CONGRESS-.


The Tennessee Agricultural and Me-
chanic Association has issued q circular
to similar societies throughout the coun-
try, from which we quote the following:
''In order to secure unity and harmony in
the promotion of agricultural pursuits,
and especially to consider all questions
proper for increasing the advantages
offered by science, skill and experience
in developing this great industrial inter
est of our country, by concert of action
that has long been deemed necessary for
its material advancement-the Tennessee
Agricultural aud Mechanic Association
has, after mature elaboration and con-
sultation with the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, determined to invite Con.
gress of the various kindred socie-
ties throughout the United Stat, s,
to meet IN convention at Nashville,
Tennessee, on the Sd day of October,
1871, for the purpose of forming Ma
tioEal Agricultural Association. In &C
cOrdance with this design you are earn
estly and respectfully invited to take
measures to have your body represented
in this Congress, on basis of one dele
gate for each organization of fifty mem
bers or less, and one for each fifty ad.
ditional members or fractional part there
of, and desire your early action and re-
spouse to this invitation"
We earnestly hope the meeting of this
Congress may mark new era among the
farmers of the country. Such meeting
will be the beginning of a resurrection
from the apathy and ignorance of the
farmer. 1t will awaken new life and
new enthusiasm and create organization
amongst class that has been quite as
much distinguished for their want of Coz
cert as for their want of influence in our
legislative bodies. AL honor to those
public spirited citizens who first conceived
the idea and are, we hope, bringing it to
a glorious contamination.

THE GAVE OFFLY Zoo,

The story about the new" game of fly
loo is III its annual rounds again. The
version is this year given by the Cincin-
natl Commercial, and is as follows:
The detestable canker that destroys
mems souls had made its appearance
among the little community of pleasure
seekers at the Yellow Springs, under the
auspices of a celebrated alderman of this
Gig, who is notorious for the alacrity
with which ne will bet on anything, from
the juvenile game of ''pick or pc, to the
relative length of straws to be
plucked out of hay stack, and IN
the enticing form of ely Loo" IL is
in testimony that every afternoon from
twenty to thirty of the very flower of
our mercantile population retire to pri-
vate room, and under locks and bolts,
give themselves up to this satanic game.
The players solemnly seat themselves
around table, each with lump of sugar
and card bearing in plain letters his re-
spOnsible name and representing so much
money in front of him, and with 81,
lent gravity that would become watch.
meeting, and the ill-cOncealed anxiety
of men stalking their sll on the cast of a
die, await the advent of the first fly. On
the buzzing insect comes, sweeping now
toward this lump then veeTing off toward
that, sending thrill after thrill of antici-
pated triumph or expected disappoint-
ment through the frames of the anxious
watchers. At last the agony is over.
The atomic insect all unconscious of the
important part he is playing, the reversals
of fortune that he is causing,
settles lightly upon partic-
ular lump of saccharine, and twenty nine
disguised men lose from So to $25
each, while the delighted representative
of the sweet morsel chosen, scoops in the
whole pile. This decides one hand at
the dignifed game which has run poker, ,
'seven-up, and Boston completely away
from the Springs, and another and
another pot, and pots Gd infnit,tna
are made up and won and lost in the
close, hot room, while the deserted ladies'
are languishing for little male converse

REMARKABLE WOMAN,

About twenty miles from the Healing

there lives a most remarkable woman.
Her name is Morrison, but she is known
all through the country as 'tMiss Jennie
Fucker" She Is about sixty years of
age, has her hair bobbed like mans,
wears a mans hat, and rides a horse
