YEARS AFTER.

never loved him; for awhile
We two were passing friends: and yet
learned to prize the slow, sad smile
Which touched his features when we met:
His words Of greeting. light and brief,
The clasp his fingers left on mine,
And saw, with vague, uAspoken grief,
The signs which marked his lifa's decline,
And when, awaiting certain deom,
He lay at last, serene and calm,
ofton sought his lonesome room
With lowers and words Of friendly balm;
And when bathed bis aching brow,
Or read, or talked-still all the while
His earnest eyes-they haunt me now
Repaid we with that slow, sad smile.
At last, one Cay, when gathering shades
Made the Spring landscape chill and drear
He said: "Dear friend, the sunshine fades
Tomorrow shall not be here.
"And when you come you will not see
This trembling hand, this thinning face;
So-you were always kind to me-
Grant me, pray, one gift Of grace.
81 cannot reach You where you stand,
Come closer, while say good-by;
Nay closer-let me hold your hand,
And kiss yeu once before 7 die"
All, why that Sudden storm Of tears
/ did not love him wherefore then
Would have given all my years
To bring him back to life again.
And when, next morn, beside the door,
waited Ia the soft May rain,
They told me he had gone before,
And had culled my flowers In vain,
All, why, when half score of years
Across his low, green grave have moved,
Do bedew with bitter tears
The grave of one never loved?
We were but casual friends, at best;
word, smile, and ell was said;
stood not near his heart, nor guessed
That should grieve II he were dead.
And yet, lion the earth there be
One soul that holds me BALI so dear
As his last blessing Is to me,
Or his sad memory, year by year,
1t will be all ask or crave,
To smooth my bed or bless my sleep,
Rvsn though the whisper haunt my grave,
81 did not love her--whersfore weep!"

ALABAMA LETTER.

MOBILE, ALABAMA, Feb. 10th 1875.
DEAR DOCTOR Il have just taken off my
coat to fulfill promise I made you before l
left Kenosha TO write you letter or two.
1t is quite warm today, and through my
open window the warm southern brsezes
make it delightfully."- pleasant. There are
many things here that interest the northern
stranger. l have been straying along Front
street which borders on the water and find
vessels leading and unloading from many
countries. The principal articles of export
from here are cotton and sugar. The former
is brought in bales from the interior and are
then about the size of bales of hay which
my good friend G. D. Head ships for the
north, only they are one third larger and are
intended to be five hundred pounds weight.
These bales are taken into the cotton houses
and pressed over bya powerful steam press
into just one half the size, tied with strong
iron bands and then passed out for shipment.
watched the process Of the pressing, tieing
and sewing up with great deal of curiosity
I should not think it exceeded three minutes
each bale. It was &ll done by colored n en-.
l think they understand this better than
making laws. ! asked the eolored foreman
how much his hands received a day for
wages and he replied from nine to twelve
dollars a week. In conversation With a
prominent citizen I said to him that I had
visited the cotton houses and never saw
white men perform better labor. His reply
was that they were just as competent and
smart, but as soon as they got feW dollars
they would quit and do nothing until they
had spent 1t. in other words they were not
reliable.
The cotton houses are immense In this
city, stretching along the river for more
than a mile. Some of them contain two
acres in area. In the centre is generally one
open space. In rainy weather the bales are
thrown into the open sheds at the sides and
ends. In seeing these vast quantities, which
will command always good prices in any

City Election.

The election for city officers, last Mon
day, was the most holly contested for
years, especially in the wards where the
saloon interest is predominant, and a large
vote was polled. The issue took tho prac-
tical shape of whisky and anti whisky,
and the saloon men and their satellites
worked for the Peoples ticket with the
energy and abandon of men fighting for
their craft, and who deemed the success
and security of their business dependent
upon their individual efforts With the
solid strength of this influence on the side
of the Peoples nominees, tAcy were general
ly successful, though the majorities, ex-
cept on Mayor-upon which Office the
mightiest effort was conccntrated--were
small. The following are the figures as
returned by the ward committees

HAY.-Mr. H. w. Pettibone the other
day gave us few items respecting his
hay crop of last season. From the crop
of tame hay, on 70 acres, he wintered 1870
sheep, 6 horses and 3 COWS, hauled to
town between the 18th and 9th of Feb
ruary and sold In this market, 80 tons, at
an average of about $3.50 per ton, or
$2S1.47 in the aggregate, and has yet on
hand 20 tons The highest price he re-
ceived for hay was SO, and but for the
fact that 13 tons were sold on previous
contract at So, his crop would have aver
aged $3.50 per ton. OF the balance on
hand he will have to spare about 10 tons,
making AZ tons that he will have sold
besides feeding his stock This, at the
average price of $3.50 per ton, will bring
him in about $4,000 in ready money
We rather think that few farmers this
season will make better showing on
wheat than Mr.. Pettibone has on hay.

this fact in view, we make the following
proposition: ANY person suffering with

bottle of Hale's Cough Cordial, use one

it is doing them no good, they can return

city election that generally the pure, una

ticket ran behind their associates of the
mixed pickle order, although the former

CITY REPUBLICAN CAUCUS 1t is not
necessary at this time to publish the pro-
ccedings of the Republican city caucus in
detail. 1t is sufficient to say that it was
harmonious and good feeling prevailed
The ticket nominated with practical una
nimlty and by reclamation, was Mayor,
G r. Millington; Solicitor, D. w. Bruck-
art; Treasurer, Geo. 3. Warnc, and As.
SCISSOR, Seth Newman; IA ticket that, con-
sidering the worth and ability of the candi-
dates, could not be bettcred, and OF which,
though partially defeated, no Republican
need be ashamed. The issue presented to
the people by Democratic maladministra-
ton, was squarely met by the caucus in
the following resolution adopted unani-
mously:
Resolrei, That this caucus pledges the
candidates here nominated to the strict
enforcement of the ordinances of the city
without fear, favor, or discrimination, so
far as such enforcement comes within
the sphere of their duties, and that upon
this platform the Republicans of Indepen-
dence will stand or fall
The result of the election and the influ-
ences contributing to it, are treated else
where. The city committee chosen for
the ensuing year are J. S. Woodward, T.
J. Marinus, J. F. Coy.

ED. BULLETIN:-I notice occasionly-I
must say it is only occassOnally-letters
from farmers of experience throughout
the county, who are once in Il while gener
GUS enough to give us young farmers the
benefit of their experience through the
columns OF your paper. But why are
there not more such letters? | am conf
dent they would be read with interest and
profit by all who are just commencing,
like myself And l should suppose that
even those who are older might be bene
fitted by exchanging new ideas and giving
the results of their different experiments
and modes of farming Any amount Of
information may be obtained from eastern
agricultural papers. but it is nearly all
such as We cannot apply. Why, then, can
not some of our obliging farmers give us
an occasional lift through the columns of
your paper
Will you allow me to ask few ques-
tons?
1st Would ii be advisable in sowing
Glover for hog pasture, to SOW with oats
and then allow the hogs to feed upon them
when sufficiently large?
I'd. 1t is reported up this way that the
stock act will not take effect, owing to
some defect. Is there any foundation for
such report?

price, or hold on to it awhiley

The first Of our correspondents inter

occasionally make use of our columns for
the expression of their views upon kin
dred subjects.
Regarding the second, the Stock Act is
certainly in force The rumor to which
our correspondent refers probably arose
out of the fact that ut the late term of the
Circuit court, in a case involving the VIC
lation Of the law, one Of the counsel made
the point that it was void because of irreg-
ularity in the record. and manner Of its
submission to the vote of the people
This point Judge Bagg took under advise
ment and will give his decision next
term. But whatever the decision on this
technical point, it will not probably affect
the law, tor the Board of Supervisors have
authority to cure the defect by correction
Of the record There is case before the
Supreme Court, from Grundy county, in
yolving the question of the constitutional
ity of the l.w, which it is thought viii be
decided at the ensuing term of the Court
in April. We have good legal authority
for the guess that il will be sustained.
As to our correspondents third qucs
ton, we find considerable diversity of
opinion. II is probable, however, that
for local demand, corn will reach 80 cents
before harvest. Many maintain that the
shipping demand will bling it up to that
figure. We can only advise our cores
pondent that he will run no risk by hold
ing on"
We hope our farmers who have demon.
strated that they can furnish valuable and
interesting information regarding ther-
calling, will heed the demand made above
and let their light slime more frequently.
