YoUNG WOMAN OF BUsrNEss.-A Mundy,
Genesee county, correspondent writes: Among
the things done by young ladies at farm work
we have one here that We think merits some
praise. Miss Jennie Armstrong has success
fully managed and reaped 80 acres Of heavy
wheat, the entire crop raised on The farm on
which she and her brother (who manages the
FARM we're born, and, more praise than all the
rest, it was done by one Of the ancient" Dodge
machines, and not by one Of the new machines
of to-day. She is young lady who can milk =

machine, get meal of victuas, or step into
the parlor and entertain company, or execute
as good piece Of MUSIC as any OF your city
ladies'.

PASTORAL LABoRs AT LEApy1LIT.- An epis-
copai clergyman located at Leadyie and
sought to instruct come OF the rough fellows
IN matters important 10 their welfare. He
called at the log-cabin of two of them and
knocked at the door. The single inmate. hay-
ing been up on the night stretch the night
before, was asleep, and being at last aroused
shouted, Who in - is there? ?" The clergy
man subsidized for while, bat at length-after
Just about time enough for the tired silver
seeker to doze of again-repeatea his knock
ing. Whereupon the sane voice again shouted,
with stronger emphasis, who the = are You p

ness which some OF the Colorado people arc
said to show in the use OF shooters OF various

and announced bible-cla for next Sunday.
he was gratified by the appearance Of goodiy

had never seen billed shirt, store clothes, or
church in their lives, even on a Sunday Be-
ginning his instructions IN somewhat eIe-
mentsry manner, he was soon brought up bya
question from one OF his pupils. He had hard
ly answered this when there came another
query, and then another accompanied BY a.
suggestion that the original Greek would hardly
bear the construction that he was putting on
the passage in hand. Briefly, the poor man
soon found that he was 'the nenagerie" Never

scholars. 1t turned out that every one OF his

II the world possessed more such young
ladies as the one described in Georgis paper,
there would be fewer unhappy marriages. A
young man and woman were to be married !;
the guests had assembled, aud all were waiting
for the bridegroom. At late hour he came,
much intoxicated, and, though the bride was
IN bridal array, she declared, with firm resolu-
ton, "I'll never, never marry you!" In spite
of oil pleadings, she kept he word, and is max
ing what was to be her bridal tour alone. Who
can tell the years Of misery and degradation
saved her ty such a course?

L'AFFAIRE D'AMOUR,


How fair she is how more than ever fair.
She moves about to show her fine FORMS grace.
She bares her arm, and drops her long, bright
hair
And yet he sees her with an unmoved face.
Why, once, in the delirum Of desire,
Had he but caught single fieeting sight
OF that young arm, with eyes and lips on fire.
He would have kissed her in Loves wild delight.
She smiles up in his eyes. No answer the re-
Why, once her smile brought sun OF summer
noon
To his fond face Her heart sinks in despair
Ah, Life ah, Love and can hearts change 30
soon?
There are the came surroundings; this room
Where he first won her. few short months ago
Her cheek is just as lovely in its bloom;
Ah, Heaven. all, Heaven how can dear Love
change SO?
She lays her soft hand on his bearded cheek;
How vain, how vain such folly, and how weak =
Ye cannot resurrect dead Passion so.
AS soon take yon pale ashes in your hand,
And think by your warm fingers TO return
The living spark that made the glowing brand
To once more see the fame leap up and burn
AS soon. with all Loves tender words and wiles
Lift mp the cofin-lid and think to wake
The dead. cold face to laughter and sweet
smiles
Ah, God alb, God! why does her heart not
break? ELLA WHEELER.

For The True Northerner.
LITTLE .H.9IUE.N.

Blue eyes are beautiful,
Fair little maiden,
Cheek blushing delicate,
Lips rosy laden.
Faith lies in purity.
Calm be it's dwelling.
Bloom in security,
Rosy bud swelling.
Flowers will scatter,
Thy young feet surrounding,
Far be the rattle
OF Sorrows dull sounding.
Ere on thy quiet youth
Breaks the stern morning,
Set the bright star OF Truth
Fair in the dawning.
Sure as the meadow stream
Flows to the ocean,
Into thy placid dream
Comes commotion.
Dew-drop 20 pescefully
Flowered in the cleaning,
Ger the mad cataract
Thou shalt be foaming.
Maiden bud blossoming,
Fair in thy purity,
Sad were the sage's look
Into futurity.
All that thy beauty decked
Ruined and scattered,
All the fair promise wrecked,
Ravished and tattered.

The Berry Prospect.

Through the kindness of Mr.. j. A.
McAlister, we last Monday took a
drive around to inspect number of
the berry fields in and around town.
We were surprised in two ways-frst
at the magnificent growth and clear
fields of some raisers, and, second, at
the utter NEGLECT of others. Mr..
McAlister has one field of about seven
acres which is the finest we ever saw.
1t is as clean as floor, and the vines
are as luxuriant as it is possible to
imagine. He has another field of
about twelve acres in almost as good
condition. He has refused one thous-
and dollars cash for his chance of a
crop next season. We believe he will
clear three times thatamounton straw
berries alone, 10 say nothing of his
raspberries, blackberries, vegetables,
etc. He has a magnificent prospect
and all from industrious, careful
work alone. If all the other raisers
would work as he does, they would
have as fine crops. Messrs. Loving
and Cade also have q fine field of
Crescents, which are growing and
spreading beautifully. Theirs are
clean and promising. No doubt they
will have an immense yield. Mr..
Chambers also has a field in good con-
dition. His prospect is fine. Mr..
Moore has a splendid field also, and
no doubt will realize handsomely on
1t next year. One or two fields we
saw were completely over-run with
grass and weeds, and numbers of COWS,
horses and hogs were literally ravag-
ing them. A number of other fields
we did not visit, for want of time.
With our present information, though,
we think the promise for fine crops
next year is very fattering for those
who have cultivated carefully. Those
who have neglected their crops will
probably hardly pick enough to pay
for their trouble.

A meeting will be held at Pratt's
school house next Saturday night and
Sunday, and will be protracted if the
prospect is favorable. Rev. j. H.
Holt and others will be present.
An exceedingly agreeable sociable
was enjoyed by the young portion of
the community on Friday night last
at the residence of Squire Jordan.
We understand that the affair was
complimentary to,,Miss Mollie Reeves,
and although the weather was rather
unpropitious a good attendance was
had.
The largest crowd that has been in
Milan this summer or fall was here
last Saturday, drawn, we suppose, by
the Scott trial. A large part of the
the day was occupied with the case,
the evidence developing about the
facts published last week. SCOTS bond
was fixed at $4,000, which he could
not give, when he went to Jail.
The senior editor of this paper was
complimented last Monday night with
a delightful serenade by the Milan
brass band. 1t came in an excellent
time for him, as he was not well, and
the sweet strains of this favorite corps
of musicians did much to soothe him.
By the way, can we not by some
means prevail on the band to give us
a concert some time this fall? Many
admirers here would be glad to show
their appreciation of the efforts of the
gentlemen musicians by giving them
a rousing benefit.

was raised by Mr.. Frank Gilbert, on
the James place, near Bluff Springs,
in this county, weighed 524 pounds,
and c.'assed as middling. A number
of our cotton buyers and other citizens
made up a purse of SIS, whic h
was paid for the bale-being fraction
over IA cents per pOund-and shipped
it to the st. Louis Cotton Exchange,
to be sold for the benefit of the Mems

And now Jackson wants cotton
compress. All the villages around
will try to follow the enterprising lead
of Milan.
We understand the camp meeting
at Wright's Chapel was largely at
tended last Sunday, an immense crowd
being present. Good order prevailed.
The cotton "bcom" will begin here
in earnest in a short while. The past
two or three days of clear weather has
opened the bolls very fast and the
planters are all busy picking.
Some enterprising capitalist, we
think, will snake his jack" by build
ing a number of comfortable cottages
here this fall. Houses will be in de-
mand next year, if the signs don't fail.
Ifevery man who is seen drunk on
the street should be larrested and
locked up until he gets sober, there
would not be much danger of people
getting shot. Suppose that plan be
tried for change.
Messrs. G. w. Sims, wills Will

We understand that five or six of
the boys have had their ethereal mus

Shooting i'm Trenton.

Last Saturday night some negroes
were passing in front of Oppenheimer's
store in Trenton, when Greer Wells
halted them. One Of them swore he
would not be halted, when Wellsreach-
ed down as if he would throw brick
at them. One of the negroes then
drew a pistol and fired, hitting John
Finn on the head. The ball glanced
around over the ear, with what dam
age we did not learn. No arrests had
been made Monday morning, as the
negroes scattered and could not be
found.
