LITTLE JOHNNIE.
BY W. 5. PETERSON.

Softly breathed the coming MAY.
On that Southern Sabbath day.
In that genial, sunny cline
May-days come before their time.
Earth and sky were bright and blest
On the holy day Of rest
But no sound of prayer and psalm
Rose upon the Sabbath's calm
And the morning sun looked down
On a mob-beleagured town,
Horsemen gailoped here and there
And their curses filed the AIR.
Soon a hundred ruffians yell
Round the home where heroes dwell:
Brave Judge Chisolm, scorning fear
Though the wolves Of hell were near;
And Cornelia, heroine rare,
Fair and young, and brave as fair;
Little Johnnie, aged thirteen,
Bravest boy the world has seen.
When the Judge TO Jail was led,
GI1l go, too" brave Johnnie said.
Sire and son walked hand in hand
Through the threat'ning ruffian band.
And within the prison gate
Johnnie shared his fathers fate.
When the mob, with savage yell
On their helpless victims fell,
johnnie stood and faltered not
In the furious storm of shot
Stood beside his sister there
On the splintered, bloody stair
Held the door, and kept at bay
Fiends who would his father slay,
Till the leader of the band
Shot away his little hand
Then, 10 save his sire from harm,
He stretched out his shattered arm,
Sprang before the powder fame
That toward his father came,
And received in his own form
The full fury of the storm,
Till his body, torn with lead,
At his fathers feet fell dead
When he TO his grave was borne
Few there was for him to mourn.
Mississippi, murder-wild,
Mourned not for her noblest child.
Not hymn or prayer was heard,
Priest nor preacher spoke a word.
Only she who gave him birth
Sigh'd the sad words, Earth TO earth
Only his own mother wept
Where her darling hero slept.
But his little grave shall yet
With a Nations tears be wet.
And through all the coming years,
With their eyes bedimmed by tears,
Mothers to their sons shall tell
How heroic Johnnie fell.
Stored page and poets song
Shall his praises still prolong;
And while Love and Valor live,
Men TO Johnnieis name shall give
The first place on history's page
With the heroes of the age.
JOHNNIE CHISOLM, AGED THIRTEEN,
BRAvEsT BOY THE WORLD HAS SEEN,

PEANUTS.
Where and How they Grow-The Extent Of their
Production.

Peanuts, or, as they are properly
called in the South, ground-nuts or
goubers, grow in the ground, on the
roots of a plant, exactly like potatoes.
The stalk and the leaves of the plant
somewhat resemble clover, and to get
the nuts when ripe, the plants are
pulled out of the ground, the nuts
adhering firmly to tire roots. The
greatest trouble with the ground-nuts
is in picking them, which has TO be
done by hand, no machine having yet
been invented to do the work, though
it would seem as if such a machine, in
the shape ofs coarse comb might easily
be invented. But labors is cheap in
the pla,e where they are grown, which
are in the light, sandy soils of Ten
nessee, Virginia and North Carolina
in this country. Peanuts are also
largely in this country. Peanuts are
also largely grown in Africa, India,
Brazil, and other places. The best are
raised in the valley of the river Gam
bia, in Africa, and yield large quanti
ties of oil. This product when proper
ly produced, is esteemed equal to olive
oil; but it is also used in wooden man
ufactories, soap making, lamps, and for
labricating machinery. Last year the
crop in the United States was as fol
lows: Tennessee, 235, 900 bushels;
Virginia, 450, 900 bushels; North Caro-
lima, 10000 bushels. The imports
from Africa last year were $4,000
bushels, of which Boston imported 3S,-
600 and New York $4,000. The aver
age of the new crop this year is some
what larger than that of last year, and
the yield promises well, the nut being
generally better filed and matured
than for the past two years, and
Of finer quality. The past year was
marked by fewer changes than any
former one; by moderate but stt ady
cousump;ive demand; y an absence
OF speculation, and by the small pro-
portion of choice white nuts Ten
nessee peanuts are put up in burlap
bags of four or five bushels capacity,
and are sold by the pound, the grades
being respectively, inferior, prime,
choice, and fancy. The crop year
begins October LIST, and ends Septem-
Der Both of the ensuing year. The new
crop will come forward under very
favorable auspices. The previous crop
having been well sold up, stocks are
light in the hands of commission mer-
chants and dealers.
