The Citizen.

A good citizen" is very often spo-
ken of, but few stop to consider who OF
what he is. Some regard the old skin
flint who lives in his shell, makes
money, openly violates no law, and
gives nothing to charity or to enter
prise, as a good and solid citizen. He
may be solid-and always is for SELF
but he is not what we esteem Il good
citizen. Others look upon the man
who has spent his life in place, and
has avoided the pOor-hOuse and the
penitentiary, and has made no enc
mics, as n good citizen, but this is Il
mistake. The man that works hard,
supports and educates his family, and
keeps out of debt, does well, but he
falls far short of being a good citizen,
if he be narrOwminded and selfish,
and lives for himself alone. So with
the man who succeeds in trade or pro-
fessional life; he may accumulate
wealth, and acquire superficial impor-
lance on account of his success, but he
is no! a good citizen if he be vicious,
venial, selfish, or vulgar. But take
the man--and let him come from where
he may-who succeeds in spite of OPP
position and competition, who is af-
fable and accommodating in his bust
ness relations and intercourse with
the world, and who gives literally to
charitable objects and public enter
prises, and generally patronizes home
Institutions and Industries and we
have the good and useful citizen,
whatever may be his politics or relig-
ion.

Jacks0n's Compress.

A visit to our cotton compress, the
other day, enabled us to observe its
operations. 1t is powerful piece of
machinery, fully capable of performing
the work for which it was erected.
me boiler Is very large one, which
produces an ample supply of steam,
ana the press Itself is the engine. A
great perpendicular stenm-cylinder,
some five feet long by the same in d.
ameter, is erected high up over where
Ile cotton bale is placed for compress
ing, and it is by the admission of steam
into this cylinder that the piston is
forced up, which causes powerful arms
10 bring up the bed of the press and
reduce the bale to some twelve inches
in thickness; then the steam Is allow
Ell to escape, the piston descends, the
bed goes back to its place, and the bale
Is rolled out, one-fourth its original
SIZE ready for shipment. A test
proved that n bale is thus completed
every two minutes, though it can be
worked much more rapidly. The
building enclosing this grand machi-
merry il of commodious dimensions.
built of brick, and has fire-proof roofing
and doors. 1t is an Improvement of
much interest and Importance to the
city, our cotton dealers, and every cot
ton producer, and ought to cause Jack
son to become not only first-class,
but as good cotton market as any
where.

Honor thy Mother.

Honor thy dear old Mother. Time
has scattered the snowy flakes upon
her brow, plowed deep burrows upon
her cheek, but is she not beautiful
now? The lips are thin and shrunken,
but those are lips that kissed away
many a hot tear from the childish
cheeks, and they are the sweetest
lips i'm the world. The eye is dim yet it
CLOVIS with a soft radiance of holy
love which can never fade. All yes
she is a dear old mother. The sands
of time are nearly run out, but as
feeble as she is, she will go further,
and reach down lower for you than
any other upon earth. You cannot
walk into midnight where she cannot
see YOU; you cannot enter a prison
whose bars will keep her out you can
never mount a scaffOld too high for
her TO reach and bless you with her
deathless love. When the world shall
despise and forsake you, when it leaves
YOU by the wayside to die unnotced,
the dear old mother will gather you
I'm her feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtue, until
YOU almost forget that your soul Is dis
figured by vice. Love her tenderly,
and cheer her declining years with
holy devotion.

FEIBLEMAN s.

The other night we were hailed by a
colOred man evidently stranger in
the city, with the question
(Which end Oh dis little street rail-
road kear takes you up de road tO'ards
de 'Silus?"
We readily understood the first part
of the question, but the latter appear
ed to be a mixture of Dutch or Latin.
Cogitating as to his sanity, we suggest
ed that he might mean Asylum? to
which he readily assented and went
his way after receiving proper direc-
tons.
Whether he considered himself fit
subject, and was seeking the kind
offices and Inequalities of that charit-
able institution, we are not prepared
to say.

Last Thurday, being Thanksgiving
Day, the commendable kindness of
Mrs. Hugh Pierce, in view of its APP
proach, prompted her to provide, on
Tuesday previous, a substantial
Turkey and chickens for the occasion,
but what was her chagrin to find, on
Wednesday morning, that some thief
had forestalled her plans by feloni-
ously emptying her coop over night,
and leaving Thanksgiving Day to take
care of itself! We frequently miss
small articles Of Use from our office,
and these facts prove that our city is
infested with sneak-thieves. If one
could be caught in the act, and uncer-
enormously shot, it would no doubt
have a good moral effect on the rest

The Batesville Blade truthfully says
the death of Thomas Jones, near
Sardis, on the night of the eleventh
instant, should be warning to young
men-and old ones too-who are in the
habit of carrying pocket artillery. If
you want to go on a spree, or rather if
you contemplate depriving yourself
of the little sense with which nature
endowed you, do at least one sensible
act before making yourself a maniac,
leave your pistol at home, or better
still, trade it off for dog and then
drown the canine, as no man of sound
mind would trade good dog for
pistol or revolver.
