vEsTIGIA RETRORsym

These noble lines-from the SOutter7,
Magazine for the current month-preach.
ing eloquently the sublime heroism Of
Peace, come with peculiar grace and effect
from member of the sex ever last to
forget the revengeful heritage of war:
THE GOSPEL OF LABOR.
I (What the South says to Her CAildren,)
have smoothed from my forehead its
sadness;
lis over! Thank Heaven therefor,
would hide now with garments of glad
The ashes and sackcloth of war.
Not word of the Past! 1t has perished.
Conc down in its beauty and bloom:
Yet because it so proudly was cherished,
Shall we sigh out our years at it's tomb?
BY the duty and honor undaunted,
Still steadfast and stern as can be;
By the laurels jackson has planted,
By the hopes that we buried with Leo
Let us wrest from the future the guerdons
That to resolute purpose belong:
Let us fling from our spirit their burdens,
And quit us like men and be strong.
bring you, compatriots, brothers,
Gas largess ye dare not disdain,
Like Natures, that bountiful mother's)
Savannahs as smooth as the main.
My valleys shall whitcn all over
With SHOWS never born of the cold,
And grain like Midas shall cover,
Every slope that it touches with gold.
The click of the artisan hammer
Shall scare from the forest its glooms
In the brake shall the water-fowl's clamor
Be drowned by the clash of the looms.
Then up from your tOrpor, ye sleepers
The dream you are dreaming deecives
Go forth to the fields with the reapcrs,
And garner the prodigal sheaves.
With flocks gladden. meadow and noun
tain,
With tinkling herds speckle each hill,
And blend with the plash of the fountain
The rumble and roar of the mill.
Brave hearts have welded the sabre,
Staunch spirits that stood by the gun;
Take heed TO the e'Gospel of Labor;
The old dispensation is done.
Put hands to the plough of endeavor.
Plant foot in the dcep-furrowed track a;
Set face to the future. and never
One wayering moment look back.
For none who dcspairingly center
Their thoughts OH the By-gone, and ban
The Present, are fitted to enter
The on-coming kingdom of man:

Then ShaIt Not Steal.

An unusual instance of the teaching and
practical illustration of the commandment
Thou shalt not steal," is to be found in
the records of the Supreme Court, before
which honorable body of judicial intelli-
gence was yesterday argued the case of
Green Turner VS. the State Green is a
colored man and among other propensities
has, it seems, a turn for playing night
Grant on other peoples animals without
asking their consent as to the propriety of
his acts IN that particular respect. Some
time ago Green, So say the jury of the Giles
County Circuit Court, did then and there
feloniously take, steal and carry away the
mule of a gentleman living in that coun-
ty.
He rode the animal into the county of
Bedford and there turns up as Methodist
minister of the gospel, travelling about to
seek whom and what he might convert.
After preaching some time near Shelby
vile, Green made a circuit into the oon-
ference. While preaching to vast con-
gregation Of ''cullcd bredren," and from
the text Thou shalt not steal" an officer
arrested Green, who being tried was con-
victed of mule stealing, and took an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court. His ground
of defense is purely technical, for, while
he may not be able to rcbut the belief
that he did feloniously take, steal, yet he
wants to show that he did ride and not
carry away the beast. His object in
preaching from the text "thou shalt not
steal," was to turn every body out of the
notion so as to have the field to himself.
He is under sentence of dcath-Uni0n
and american.

A Strange BedfeIlow.

There appeared few days since at a
boarding house in the southern section of
/ the city natty looking young man and
! engaged board, but was informed by the
landlady that owing to pressure upon
her accommodations she would be obliged
to room the new conner gith one of her
best boarders until such TING as a spare
room could be had. To this the young
man assented, but not without some re-
luctance be stating that he preferred a
room to himself, but under the circum-
stances he would room with the "best
boarder' for few days. She first night
that the new boardar retired to rest Ne
did so in the dark, and insisted upon
sleeping next to the wall, and it was no.
ticed by the "best boarder" that his chum
occupied but little of the bed, sleeping as
it were upon the rail. In the morning
tbs new conner complained of feeling un-
we'll, and did not leave his bed until after
his bedfellow had vacated the room. For
three nights this same programme was fol-
lowed, and on the fourth morning discov-
cry was made by the chambermaid which
created considerable excitement in the
house, and which when made known to
the ''best boarder' paralyzed him with
astonishment. On the morning in ques-
tion the chambermaid entered the room
of the new boarder just as he was about
adjusting his clothing and discovered that
"he' was ''she." She begged not to be
exposed, but the cham bcrmaid being una
Bile to retain within herself such rich |
joke. especially what had befallen the
"best boarder,' disclosed the secret which |
she had discovered, and upon the land)ady |
going in quest of the bogus young man it
was found that she had fed the house
Eince then it has been discovered that
several articles of jewelry and clothing
have been missing from the boarding
house. Baltimore Amc.Tcun.

A NORTHERN man, travelling through
Tennessee, writes as follows to his home
paper the Pontiac (iichigan) Jacksonian !:
+" We have received the most kind and
courteous treatment wherever we have
been in the State. That we have met men
of strong prejudices, is truth, and not
to be wondered at. That strong prejudices
do exist, is true, but they are confined to
very few and small localities. We met
the best of gentlemen in Kentueky-but
we heard thirty-fold more bitter feelings
expressed in twenty-four hours in Hentuc-
Ky than in all our wandcrings of between
thirty and forty days in Tennessee. And
we do not believe that there is a spot in it
where any honest Northern man cannot GO
and become member of the Common
wealth, and exercise all his political rights.
1t may be said that social prejudiees exist
South. We say, true; but, by the time
the monied cast, as standard for gen.
tleman and lady, is removed from North
ern society, the south will have banished
this weakness"

EDENs RIDGE, Tenn, Feb. 9th


MEssRs EDITORs.-I promised in this
to show that clover pays better than any
other farm product For whst you have
to plow the ground and harrow it at least,
and SOW one dollars worth of seed per
acre, and harvest and thresh, and carry
to market. and you get about an average
of six bushels per acre [ have taken
some pains to ascertain the average and
know that wheat in our country does not
exceed that. Some fields under extraor-
dinary circumstances have yielded three
or four times that much, but three-fourt! s
of the land sown does not produce that
much. The wheat is worth say one dol.
lar per bushel the country over, including
places remote from market. Last year
it was not worth one dollar, this year a
little more. Now you have for your
wheat crop six dollars per acre. Deduct
one dollar per acre for seed, and one dol
lar per acre for plowing the ground and
the price for harvesting, hauling and
threshing and you have left naught; try
oats, and you will have less than naught :;
and rye about as wheat. In the better
land corn does better than wheat or rye,
in the poorer land it does worse than any
other crop. 1 do not speak of root crops,
for in most cases you can raise more true
you may have some small lots that will
bring roots, but do not now speak of
gardening.
This is a gloomy picture, but, assure
you, it is about true, and the only way a
farmer can prosper at those crops is by
extraordinary exertions, or by devotiug
part of his time to other business.
Of course these remarks are intended
for the average lands of this part of the
country. Now let us see what a crop of
clover will pay. Without any cost for
ploughing, (for we sow on small grass
fields) we SOW one dollars worth of seed,
but as one sowing will do two or three
years, say fifty cents per acre, and fifty
cents per acre for plaster where the land
is adapted to plaster, we gather a good
crop of hay, say five dollars per acre, and
thGn the seed crop will average at least
one bushel per acre, which is worth eight
dollars, and is easier harvested, threshed
and carried to market than other crops.
l do not say that your poorest ground
will bring bushel every time, 1 speak o.
an average. Some fields last year pro-
duced four bushels per acre. Very few
will cut their clover seed if the yield is
not more than one-half bushel per acre;
they will say lit amt worth cutting" and
at the same time will almost lose a corn
crop by cutting wheat that yields two or
three bushels. Add to all this the vast
of your land which will
produce fully double after the clover. l do
you not advocate extremes, do not expect
to sow all your land in clover and buy
your bread, but what l advocate is rota-
ton, which will show that your land is not
sworn out" but tired out and needs rest.
If see man raising good proper
ton of clover, | never ask if that man
has paid his tax, if he is out of debt. or if
he is prosperous man. In my next l
will talk about plaster on clover, and pro-
bably something on rotation of crop.

managed without discovery to get herself
tied in the matrimonial knot to eight diff

fathers blessing on their union. They all
did so; and the scene that ensued can be
better imagined than described The lady
meantime had left the State disguised as a
