PEARLs.--If man would live quietly in
the world he must learn to keep his eyes and
ears open and his lips barred.
Man regrets in after life the folies of early
youth and drinks at leisure the cup of bit
terness, filed in haste when young.
"a man," said one of the Jewish fathers,
"should be prepared for death the day before !;
but as he does not know when that day is, he
should always be prepared"
Many people who boast of being plain and
blunt are merely coarse and boorish. Such
persons are constantly infiicting wounds
which neither time nor medicine can ever
heal.

first cogitation, not SO wise as the second, for
there is youth in thought as we'll as in ago.

A dozen destitute eolored families
passed down the river on Saturday by

bee and the bounding buffalo breath

They go back to the rich low lands Of
the sunny South, where ~alligators
sleep out their centuries Of life in
~lazinesS, and where cotton and money
can be made more easily than else
where by putting in good ticks of hard
work. This appears to be a turn of
the tide. All persons familiar with
the true situation understand full we'll
that if the colored man cannot make
a good living on the rich lands of the
Southern valleys he cannot do it any
where. A recent letter from Terre-
bonnie parish, South Louisiana, to the
New York Tribue, pictures truthfully
the actual situation on a sugar p~lanta-
ton there as follows:
"a thousand additional sugar labor
ers could find steady employment. A
number of his hands left him recently
and he was obliged to 90 to Missis-
sippi to get men to help make his crop.

Field hands get $l3 per month, a
weekly ration Of FIVE pounds Of bacon,
a peck of corn meal, a house and gar
den patch rent free, and the priv
lege Of cutting irewood on the estate
and using teams to haul it. They
have a half holiday every Saturday to
cultivate their gardens. If they are
industrious they can live com
fortably on their wages, and save
a little money; but most of
them are shiftless and improyident
and are in debt at the years end.
Half the wages arc paid in cash and
the other half settled on the first of
January. Each plantation has a store,
which furnishes such articles as the
negroes need on credit to the amount
of the retained wages. In the grind
ing season, which begins late in Octo-
Der and lasts until January, wages 60
up to % cents a day and a ration, and
the women and children are emnloyed
at 30 to 40 cents"

f. We learn that one day last week a
prominent Front street merchant
came to the relief Of the widow of a
well known citizen of Memphis, who
fell by the fever last fall, leaving an
incumbrance of $4,000 on his planta-
ton. The property was to have been
sold'on a certain day, and Of course in
these times would have brought only
the amount that had been secured by
the deed Of trust, although worth
much more. The merchant in qucs-
ton advanced the money to the lady
and she is thus enabled to retain the
management of the property, and in
the course Of time will no doubt pay
off the debt and once more be restored
To independent circumstances.

ago, was killed accidentally on the
18th instant, at New Castle, in Harde-

in the hands of a negro. A hawk was
seen near the house, and the negro
ran in to get a gun. The boy was
standing in the door, and as the negro
approached the door coming out the
gun went of, and the charge entered
the body of the child, and he was
killed. The deceased was
about eight years old. His father was
well known and had many friends in
this city. )"
