A DISTRESSING STORY.

Our city yesterday was visited by a
very respectable looking middle-aged
lady, who told sad tale of misery in
connection with the yellow fever plague
at Shreveport, and subsequent affection
She stated that with her husband and
children she was in Shreveport when
the fever first broke out, and that she
immediately removed her children from
danger of the infection by sending them
to eastern friends, she and her husband
remaining in the afflicted city. About
six weeks since her husband became a
victim to the terrible plague, and she
Immediately left for her former home in
the East. Upon her arrival at st. Louis
she bought through ticket for her de-
stination in Massachusetts, and this, to-
gether with her pocket-book, contain
ing all the money she had except three
dollars, she lost by having her pocket
picked, she thinks, at st. Louis. The
three dollars she used to pay her fare
here, the conductor refusing to take her
further. She arrived by the midnight
train, and remained at the depot all
night, and yesterday morning sought
aid from the authorities TO enable her
to continue her journey. A sufficient
sum was raised to enable her to reach
her friends. springfield en- Journal.

The Music OF THE THRUsH.-The
thrush is scarcely surpassed by any
other bird excepting the nighting-
gale, and pours forth his full wealth
of song in every varied form, up
heaving his barbed breast, and look
ing out upon the still landscape
with bright, restless eyes. We hear
him singing in the early morning
before the round sun has sealed
the hilltops; he keeps up his roll OF
music throughout the day, and clo-
ses at night without any apparent
fatigue; there is no diminution of
sound, no feebleress. He seems
more like q good instrument, which,
after being played on for hours
sends forth a sWeeter sound. he
is no feeble traveller, who, having
gone a long journey, drags wearily
mp the last hill at sunset.
You cannot fail to distinguish
his voice from among the warblers
of the woods; not that his notes are
always alike, but there is some reg
I ulGI LlOuulutioh, VI hNbAA@A DmSSh
ness, which, however varied, "still
does his touch the strain prolong;"
and could not be deceived even if
he had hidden himself in the carcass
of an owl.
l recollect we'll that nearly one
ofthe frst birds l heard, when a
country boy, was thrush, He was
the pride and delight of the whole
neighborhood; even the neighbors
forgave him for disturbing then
slumbers so early in the morning
for the sweetness of his song. An
old fisherman, who rose with the
break Of day, and who resided IL
the adjoining house, made the open
ing Of his music u clock to get uI
by, and he never was deceived IL
the time but once, and that was one
Beautiful moonlight morning which
strained in brilliant beams through
the opening in the window shutters
aud lured the lovely bird into the
belief that it was day.

HOW THE MONEY GOES.
BY JOHN C. SAKE.

How goes the MOney?-Well,
I'm sure it isn't hard to tell;
1t goes for rent, and water-rates,
For bread and butter, coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps, and carpets, hoops and hose
And that's the way the Money goes!
How goes the Money! Nay
Don't everybody know the wayr
1t goes for bonnets. coats and capes,
silks. satins, muslins, velyets, grapes,
shawls, ribbons, furs, and furbelows,-
And that's the way the Money goes!
How goes the Money?-Nay,
I wish the ways were something fewer;
1t goes for wages, taxes, debts,
1t goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paint pommade, and eau de rose
And that's the way the Money goes
How goes the Moneyy-Now,
Pye scarce began to mention how;
It goes for laces, feathers, rings,
Toys, dolls-and other baby-things,
Whips, whistles, candies, bells, and bows
And that's the way the Money goes
How goes the Money?-Come,
know it doesn't so for rum;
It goes for schools and Sabbath chimes,
1t goes for charity-sometimes;
For missions, and such things as those
And that's the way the Money goes!
How goes the Mon0y?-There!
Pm out of patience, declare;
It goes for plays, and diamond-pins,
For public aims, and private sins,
For hollow shams, and silly shows
And that's the way the Money goes!
Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1873-09-06

NATURAL RELATIoNs.-Wisd Will
never let us stand with any man or
men on an unlriendly footing. We
refuse sympathy and intimacy with
people as if we waited for some bet
ter sympathy and intimacy to come.
But whence and when? Tomorrow
will be like to-day. Life wastes 1T
self while we are preparing to live.
Let us suck the sweetness Of those al
fections and consuetudes that grow
near us. Undoubtedly, we can easi-
ly pick faults in our company can ca
silly whisper names prouder and that
tickle the fancy more. Every man.
IMAGINATION hath its friends; and
pleasant would life be with such com
panions. But if you cannot have on
good, mutual terms, you cannot have
them. If not the Deity, but our ambl'
ton, hews and shapes the new rela'
tions, their virtue escapes, as straw
berries lose their flavor IN garden
beds.-EmersOR.

BEN BUTLER ON BACK PAY
Truth from the Devil.

Butler thus truthfuIly characterizes
the back pay seeking for notoriety
and popularity, of WhitthOrne and
others. He says:
"There is another class OF members
Of Congress, whose actions in this re-
gard seem intended as criticism on
my course. They will pardon me, II l
examine theirs. Those gentlemen
have taken their back pay, and have
devoted it to chosen purposes, some
times charitable, and sometimes 9th
erwise. Perhaps the best illustra-
ton of such disposition of the mon
ev Is the action Of my colleague from
the Eighth District, the Hon. George
T. Hoar. He drew his increase OF
salary, and with it endowed an instl-
tuition for education of youth IN his
district. If he had right to take
money he certainly had a right to
keep it. If it was not money honest
enough TO keep, then it was not mon
ey honest enough to take. II it was
not honest enough money for him to
spend for his own purpose, certainly
the ingenious youth OF has distinct
ought not to be contaminated by be
ing educated with dishaEsstiy acquir-
ed money. Devoting III gotten gains
to charity does not clean the money.
May remind my colleague that his
way of spending bad money Is not
even original. He is guilty or plagl-
arism. The chief priests devoted
the thirty pieces of silver they got
from Judas to buying a pOtters' field,
for the charitable parpose of bury
ing the dead, but it is called ''the
field of blood" even unto this day.
One gets great glory, however, by
founding public institutions. II is a
favcrite method Of electioneering OF
these politicians, who electioneeI
through the use of money. Every
man has q right, however, to do with
his own money as he pleases, and treat
ing it as his own money, nobody car
oriticise the use which nay colleague
made of that four thousand and odd
dollars back pay. Every man may
do what he likes with his money.
Generally, he will buy what he need,
most. Some men need glory; ano
therefore purchase it. Some mel
need butchers meat. L buy butcher
meat with my back pay. My advice
to him, however, would have been Il
use his pay as his brother did wheI
he took his back pay as Supreme
Judge, and as his predecessor Of thu
same district, Mr.. Baldwin, the edi
tor, used, in 1856, to take it and pa
it where it will do the most good
Perhaps my advice has been followed
That is precisely what my colleagu
thinks he has DONE"
Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1873-09-06

These crops are not made from
nothing; and every farmer should
see where the things come from
that form every product Of his soil.
How much from air; how much
from water; how much from decay
ing mould; and how much from
such minerals as lime, potash, mag
nesia, phosphorie, sulphurie and nj
trio acids. All admit that farmer
dealing in coined metal should
know the difference in value 1T
sight, between gold, silver, niekle
and copper coin. Why not know
also the difference in the value Of
the raw material that forms grain,
cotton, grass and hay, tobacco and
every other staple? His ignorance
of the currency of the farm keeps
him far in the background, and in
wolves an annual loss to the State
of many millions. How can we
reach the people of Tennessee to
tell them the way to utilize the
land, rain and sunshine which a
good Providence gives them? Very
few have carefully studied the vital
ity of a large number of agrieultu-
raj plants; and therefore they do
not know how to use their vitality
to the best advantage. Scotch far
mers raised in a climate where not
a grain of corn grows into a roasting
ear, come to this country and by
raising corn for forage alone make
three times more from al acre OF
this American plant than we native
Americans ever obtain. They see
and appreciate our agricultural ad-
vantages; we do not. They know
the worth of European grass, hay,
