But woe TO him, his wife had brought
His mother-in-Iaw along"


The disease of "mother on the
brain, so prevalent during the war,
has beeu succeeded by that of ''mOth-
er-in-law coming home with the wife. "
The doggerel nuisance is as inevita-
bic as the opening of paper. If the
thing had breath and physical organ
ization we would kill it outright. 1t
is like the uniform dropping Of n
water-spout at night, dismal tink-
ling when the worlds asleep, or the
continuance by which criminals have
been punished in some countries, by
fastening the head in one position
and causing drops Of water TO fall
upon the forehead at intervals until
the sensation became like that OF a
blow from n hammer. If Solomon
were alive to-day with the heart and
appliances of an inquisitor, it is rea-
sonablc to suppose that he would sur
pass Alva i'll dealing with our funny
newspaper men. 1t is about time to
permit "the mother-in-law" joke to
rest.

OvERFLOw.-The danger Of over
flow in the Mississippi valley all the
way from the bottoms below Mem
phis to New Orleans, increases day
by day. During the past week the
weather has been quite warm, and
there has been an immense rain
fall from Cairo to the Cult Here
the thermometer has stood as high
as 7s degrees and if there has been
a corresponding temperature along
the upper Mississippi, the melting
SHOWS will add to the vast vol
umn of water in the river, and Il
great disaster may be anticipated.

The Jackson and Birmingham n. &C.
We recently paid visit to Purdy,
the county site of McNairy county,
and whilst there solicited stock to the
Jackson & Birmingham Railroad. We
found the people keeuly alive to this
great enterprise, and with the aid of
friends soon secured $4,000 in
stock, all of which was subscribed by
parties perfectly responsible, and
whose subscriptions will be met
promptly on call by installmemts.
This subscription was made, with the
express understanding, that the line
shall pass through Purdy and along
the dividing ridge which separates the
waters of the Tennessee and Hatchie
Rivers. There will be no difficulty
in getting $4,000 stock in McNairy
county, and enough has been obtain
ed already to insure the organization
of the Company, in this city, ON the
10th prox. When this is done, a sur
vey of the road to the State line will
be made, aud before the summer has
ended, we confidently expect to see
miles of the Road under contract.
Thus fur the friends of the line have
every reason to be of good cheer, and
to hope for the most favorable results.

The Franklin RerieV, which has
been n most steadfast friend of
Andrew Johnson ever since the
war, in commenting on our sugges-
ton that the ex-President should
run for Congress in the Greenville
district, and show that he has the
power to rovolutionise it, says that
we desire 10 Sacrifice" Mr.. John
son.
How is that! II Dir. johnson is
really the man that he is thought TO
be-if he yet has the power on.the
stump that he once had-why can
not he, in his own district, among
his old friends, beat Roderick Ran
dom Butler for Congress? This con-
fession on the part of our Franklin
contemporary, will be fatal to Mr..
Johnson's guberatorial and senate
rial aspirations. Ii the District
swarmed with "rebcls," Mr..
JohnsOn's want of availability
would be referred to the opposition
OF "the military ring" but it is
made up principally of union linen.
What then is the matter? Will the
Rccic'o rise and explain?

"7ouch NOT, Taste not, Handle not -"

"7ouch mol, Taste not, Handle mott"
ri touch not that poisoned bowl,
So full Of liquid fire;
For misery, disease and death
Move on at its desire.
I'll taste not that fatal cup,
II leads man to despair,
And lures him an to deeds of blood,
And felOn's cell to share.
I'll handle not the accurscd thing,
That drives reason from her throne;
That fills a suicidal grave,
And turas the heart to stone.
It leads man from the path Of right,
And to forget his God;
His little ones to rags and want,
Perchance tcncsth the rod.
That breaks the heart Of many wife;
Causes tears to flow;
The breast to hcavc tumultuous sobs,
pains VI WVc.
And madness-murder-i its track,
Curses of deep despair,
'Tis true my friends the demons drink
Brings all I've pictured here.
I'll drink sparkling water, natures god
Gives us his children here;
In grassy dell, in forest glade;
Where roams the sportive deer;
That gushes up with sounds Of joy,
Sings in the ripping rillS
That's everywhere thing of life,
And brewed in natures stills.
High, also, on the mountain top,
1t glisteus in the sun;
Down in the valleys lowest depths,
Its crystal fountains run
1t brings magic balm Of peace;
Makes happy many a home,
And shall to endless time impart
Great joys that may be known.
No blood doth stain its liquid glass;
No starving 'moss backs" weep;
No scslJing tears arc in its depths;
No walls oI anguish deep.
No murder follows in its path;
No cries Of deep despair;
Faith, Hope and Charity, my friends,
Are always centercd there.
