"We'll settle their hash"
And along we went--Squire and Mr.. Dut-

and Peter Dobbs and jack Ruggles, and Ike
and Bob, and Sam and Black Dick, and old
Mrs. Miller and me. We come to the house.
There was an awful racket inside-some-
body hammering on the cellar door.
"There they are" says I.
"Ahl hear EN-" says Squire. "Now,

MEXICAN Poems.
The Virtual slaves who Cultivate the Crent
Haciendas.

The owner of the hacienda rarely lives
upon it. He intrusts its care to o superin.
tendent whose principal business is to keep
The poems in debt and not let them get
ahead on the books. Though slavery FOR
debt is formally abolished by the Constitu.
ton, it actually exists in many places as
firmly rooted as ever, and in truth it seems
indispensable to the effective management
of these large farms, since the laborer if
free can never be depended upon if he gets
few dollars, or even shillings, in his
pocket, and there is fiesta at which he
can gamble within a hundred miles. Many,
perhaps most of these, have been born upon
the ranch and will die upon it. Their happy
children one sees tumbling about or lasso-
ing dogs or pigs with their mothers clothes
line, will probably be in debt before they
are grown, and will live and die SO. Yet it
is difficult to say that they are not better oil
than If free. Almost without exception the
Indian blood predominates in the poems,
and is generally unmixed. They live upon
q pittance indeed, but it is regular, and
their families are not allowed to suffer by
the fathers improvidence or gambling, as
they would if he were free to 60 where he
pleased.
Nearly all the labor of the hacienda is
done by the poems, the owner generally in.
trusting nearly everything to the superin.
-tendent, who, being gentleman like the
owner, or at least deeming himself such
troubles himself little with anything resem
bling work, and perhaps even takes little
pride in knowing nothing about it, Hence
poems not only do the ploughinP as they
please, but make the ploughs, the heavy
carts, etc., in fact, make and repair about
all the tools and machinery, used on the
ranch. They make nearly everything with
out q forge or even bolts or nails the mar
vellous resources of rawhide being equal TO
almost any emergency, lashing together
the beams and rafters of the roof of big
house, hanging the chapel bell Intending the
coach, gunstock, or anything, up to n brok,
en- leg
The superintendent is ex-officio an c,calde,
or justice of the peace keeps the store of
the hucionoa, III Wnich the poems Afe PAID
in provisions, at figures which insure their
continuance in debt, attends to the shipment
of produce, and often receives the money
for it, which he generously divides with the
distant owner, though he may keep the
whole of it if the OWNER is in Europe. On
the whole, his life is often the most easy
and profitable in the world.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution Dem
says: "There are in the State at least 100
post-offices that pay less than $lO year.
Ben Hill Post Office, in this county, is IN
example. According to The blue book before
us the Office Of Eureka Mills, Ebert County,
affords salary of only 20 cents, tho low
est in the State. This distinction, however,
may BIO contested by Pierceyille, Fannin
County, where the salary is 80 cents under
the three-cent postage law. What the salary
at Eureka Mills is under the two-cent pos
tage rate we cannot determine. 1t certainly
is not large enough to enduce bitter con-
test and yet the size of the salary is often
no criterion Of the desire for tho place.
Other things, such as the location of the
office, trade advantages, and the like enter
into such contestsn

POETRY.

In Dreams.
In dreams saw the cities twain,
Standing together on the plain;
And, as in dreams We know, Iknew
10 one or other OF the two,
zach living soul Of mortal race
10th make Its earthly resting-piacei
see Ger one the skies are fair.
Like scent OF wine the Daimy afr.
Broad are its streets, its mansions staud,
Rose-bowerd, in pleasant garden lane~-
And never there the death bells toll,
But lightly pleasures chariots roll,
While Time, asleep, with folded wing.
Lies in the Lap OF endless Spring.
The other, meath sky OF lead,
Stands like city OF the dead
Haunted by voices signing low
OF joys and hopes OF long ago
Decay Is everywhere; but rest
The peace with which the dead are blest-
Holds far aloof. The heavy air
Seems burdened with weight OF care
The hollow groan, the endless pain
or dull remorse and sorrow vain.
Have you guessed the names which the citIe,
bear7 M
The flrst Is Tomorrow everywhere
Hope sings OF Tomorrow. The other, gray
With the hue OF despair, is Yesterday.
