TnE ISLE or YOUrH.

The isle Of youth is a beautiful isle,
And over it brightly the sunbeamS smile
And over it gently the west wind blows,
Over violet beds, and bowers Of rose;
over forests Of verdure and hills Of green
And rivers OF beauty that roll between;
And the rsrest birds sing on that sunlight
lsle.
In the morn's red glow, or the twilight,
smile;
And the clouds that hoat o'er that fairy
land,
Seem the barses bright Of an angel band.
, Tis the lairest spot In the sea Of time;
Around IL the surges break sublime;
And the foRdest hopes OF the swift-winged
There blossom and brighten and banish
tears,
There joys unsullied the spirit thrill,
And life flows on Ike flowing rill,
The sweetest homes Of the earth are there,
And faces the brightest OF smiles that wear,
o, the faIrest scenes that the heart may
know
On the isle OF our youth with beauty glow
From the isle Of youth we must sail away,
And storms rise dsrkly, and Ehroud the
day;
But, we sometimes sail DER peaceful seas,
And glide In the path Of the fresh, glad
breeze;
And snatches Of song, and the breath of
flowers,
The murmur of waters through breezy
bowers,
With remembered voices Of friend and
home,
From that magical isle DER the calm seas
come,
o brightly above It the sunbeams smile
The isle OF our youth is a beautiful isle.

our County Roads.

We see that several of the pap ers
throughout the State are urging
upon the next Legislature the inn
portance of making some improve
ment in our present road laws. We
are glad 10 see ii, for il certainly is
a stir in the right direction, for ii
there is any one thing that stands as
q dire obstruction in the way of the
development of Tennessee, our
present wretched road system is
one among the number. There Is
not farmer in our county but what
will agree with us in regard TO this.
Then what is 10 be doneE some
one will ask. Levy a tax for the
purpose, and instead uf the present
''militia" system, let there be OFF,
GERS elected especially to see to our
roads-to hire hands to work the
roads, when they need repairing,
and see to 10 that they put in days
work, and not Law around and kill
time as now, when called out by the
"Overseer." But some will say that
their taxes are too heavy already,
and that they could not stand any
more. Let US see about this little.
Suppose there be 80 farmers living
on or near the road from this point,
say, to Wsrrensburg, and that these
80 farmers have in the aggregate
5000 bushels OF wheat which they
wish TO haul 10 this market. In the
present condition of the roads they
cannot haul over 20 bushels at q
load, and, most of them one load a
day. This will take 250 days.
Now, make that same road as il
should be and they could easily haul
So bushels per load and make better
time and not be near such a strain
on wagon and team, thereby saw
ing a fraction over los DAYS Just in
the hauling of this one product
How much are those wagons. teams
and drivers worth tor the los days?
At least SS25. Now put this amount
of actual cash on this road and it
Will be of more benefit to those who
use il than five times what q reason
able tax would be. This leaves the
road paid for, and all the other use
! you have for IL you get ''free gratis,
[ for nothing"
Then again, how much viii il ell

t least 20 per cent.
This, in our humble opinion, is
( the most feasible plan for havip q
/ roads that be a credit to our State.
and strong inducement for immi-
! grafton, and il il meets with the ap-
/ probation of our people. we hope
| they will urge it upon their repre-
sentatives in the next Legislature.

Effect of the weather ON Ihs
weight OF CoItOH.

The following experiment made
in Charleston, will be fOHud inter
esting to our readers:
"Some weeks since IL was Az
nOuuced that J. H. Holmes. \
Charleston cotton broker. procured
3 bale Of cotton, and had il placed
under cover in his Office with a view
to test the loss or gain in weight
The Courier gives the result Of the
experiment, which may be of inter
est to our cotton merchants. The
cotton was carefully ' weighed al p.
m, on each following day up TO Sep
tember so. The result has been Civ
en- to US in tabular form through
the kindness of Mr.. Holmes. The
main results are these: On Septem-
Der o, at p. M, the bale weighed
419 pounds, weather being damp
On September 8, 9, 10 and IL, the
weather was dry, and the weight
fell to 4161 pounds at 8 d. IN, Sep
tember 11th. A succession OF damp
days followed, and at 8 3. IN. on
September IS and 2I the bale had
raised TO 4204 pounds; and by Sep
tember 25 At ; q. m. and p. m, the
bale reached 42li pounds, the maxi
mum, On the last recorded day, at
p. m, the bale weighed APO pounds.
The key to the whole table is the
Thermometer. As the mercury fell
the cotton grew heavier; as it rose
the cotton became lighter. And We
should say that a difference OF ten
degrees, Fahrenheit with stored cot
ton should be generally equal to q
gain or loss OF Il pounds a bsie.
