Ensilage for the South.

Perhaps there is no other part of the
Union, where the preservation of green fod-
der, by means of the silo,- can be made more
useful than in the South. Haying comes
very early, and In the very worst season
for rains, viz: the early summer, making
the curing of clover and grass exceedingly
troublesome. The present season it has
rained almost without intermission for more
than twenty four hours, during the most of
May and all of June, and to put up several
acres of heavy clover and grass, has been a
serious labor. With silo it would have
been no trouble at all; the grass cut during
the few hours of sunshine could have been
put into the silo, and the work of haying
would have been done with. With the ex-
treme facility for growing such an abnn-
dance of fodder as may be found in the
South-clover, grass of various kinds, cow
peas, millet, corn, and one following an
other through long season, the silo seems
to be the very thing that is wanted. The
Cow-pea. so valued in the Southern States
as fodder plant, promises to be of the
greatest value as ensilage. Ag-
ricuHuriSt for September.

SAD MEMORIES.

The Summer air blows soft and low,
The twilight deepens fast,
AS thus 1 sit and muse alone.
Upon the long-gone past.
And as sit and sadly muse.
Fond m emory like spell,
Brings back the face of one loved,
In other days so we'll.
OF one loved, ali, Jondly.loue,
All, would could forget.
For he has careless grown and
Have naught but vain regret.
cherish still the flowers he gave,
Tho faded now and dead,
They bring sweet memories to me,
Of joys foreverfled.
Sometimes 1 sing the dear old songs,
used to sing to him.
But sadly now-with throbbing heart,
And eyes with tears all dim.
All, me, the long. dull dreary days,
The moments fraught with paiu,9
The longing for the step of one,
Who'll never come again.

MATRIMONIAL ARRANGEMENTS

are speedily consummated, and relatives
hunted up all over the country to attend
the nuptials. The ties of kindred are very
strong among the wealthy classes, and
next to them, perhaps, come the bonds OF
adoption. No Mexican will hesitate to Wis
1t contagion-strick friend or to adopt
the orphan when parents move in his So
cial sphere. The latter beautiful trait of
character draws to its support all the
strength of consanguinity, and the foster
father at his death makes his adopted son
or daughter sharer. with the other chill
dren in his possession. AS general thing,
with the exception of cases of jealousy,
there is no friction in the Mexican family,
and all pull together for their common
good.
THE MARRIAGE
among the high class is generally carried
out with great pomp and splendor. ALI the
relatives attend, dressed in the highest fash
ion known among their race-the bride
wearing the costliest of silk or satin, with
white veil, &C.; the gentlemen, of course,
in the latest style, all of which my space
this time will not allow of description
The bride is given away by her mother or
madrina (god-mother) and the priest mar
ries them in the church before large con-
gregation, about daylight in the morning,
after dance at the brides home has been
going on all night, the bride and groom,
however, not joining in the dance, but sit
ting by, witnessing the enjoyment of 9TH
ers, and compelled to become the objects of
the constant stare, and the subject of con-
versation of all present. This, we think,
is very trying upon her nerves, as a rule.
and she is to look smilingly upon all. Af-
ter the ceremony at the church, the bride
leaves the church upon the arm of her ia
ther, brother. or some other friend except
the groom, and he (the groom) follows af-
ter. Gentlemen generally marry before
they are twenty, and girls frequently be-
fore they are fifteen, seldom after they are
twenty years old.
FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF CoRTEs.
AS a rule the higher class try to follow
the example of Cortes. They, like Cortes,
are fine horsemen. and dextrous in the use
of all kinds of arms, both on foot and on
horseback. They are, like Cortes, some
what irregular in their ameurs. In their
conversation, eating, dress, in everything
they show the gentleman. Their clothes
are of the fashion. They care nothing for
silks and satins, but always dress neatly
and plainly. Neither do they wear large
chains of gold. Among the furniture of
their houses you find many vessels of silver
and gold, and in talking with them they
boast of the
VICTORIES OF CORTES,
which sound like fable; especially his re-
lations with Dena Marina, cast the romance
of our own Pocahontas entirely in the shade
Concerning the conquest, they tell us of
battles in which Cortes slew thousands
without losing man, and undertakings
that would rank as forlorn hopes were it
not that their hero was steel-clad. How
ever, he is to the Mexican the same as our
Washington and Lee are to us-admired,
honored, loved in memory. G. L. G.

A Beautiful Tribute.

The annexed tribute to Southern women,
taken from an address by Col. Thomas
Hardeman, delivered at Atlanta, Georgia,
on the occasion of decorating Confederate
graves, has been published often, but such
pure and noble thoughts will bear re read
ing and remembering
"Like the captive Hebrews they sing not
now the songs that wake to music sweet
their David's harp, for that harp now hangs
upon the willows by the river of Babylon,
| where they sit down and weep over fallen
Judea. True, they sing the songs of mar
riage feasts, and vintage in-gatherings, yet
| they come with flower and tear to testify
their sympathy in the sorrow of the land,
and their undying appreciation of their gal
liant dead. What better offering has sor-
row or grief than the timid heartsease or
the modest fern? What purer testimonial of
the heart than the humble violet, planted
by beauty hand over the loved ones grave?
As the tree that grew oyer the grave of the
daughter of Thracis, at stated periods
dropped the tears of their branches over her
resting place, SO do these noble women
come when Spring flowers bloom, to plant
the memorial shrub and shed their tears of
love over the humble mounds that tell
where our heroes sleep. For this I give
them honor and praise; and unfeeling must
be the heart that does not do homage to
the Southern women, the perfection of beau
ty and the glory of the land. With them
patriotism is religion, and an element of
life; the hour of adversely was the hour of
triumph. Does the storm gather and the
tempest sweep? Man, the Bashan oak
falls before the fury Of the blast but wo-
man, the willow by the waters, fiourishes,
beautiful in her humility and luxuriant in
her sorrow, when the tempest was over
Do the thunders crash or the lightning
strike? Man, the towering pine, is riven
by the stroke. Woman, the humble flower,
nestled among our garden plants, emitted a
sweeter fragrance when the storm was
hushed. Firm, constant, devoted patriot
ism, pure as the waters from "Chindara's s
Fount" enthused their bosoms and signal
lied their lives. Meek, gentle, and conf
ding, devotion and love sweet as the fruits
of the "Amrita tree" characterized their
every action. Generous and self-sacriicing,
they stripped beauty of its jewels and home
of its luxuries for the success of their cause
and the comfort of their braves. And now
that the flag is unrolled and the jacket of
gray hangs empty on the wall, they bring
their offerings of love for those who
DIED for the land they could not save"

for the first time, and both hang their heads.
They meet again, and their faces are illn-
minated with smiles, conveying all the Ian
guage of speech. The third time that this
meeting occurs generally opens a conversa-
tion by signs, which, in an advanced stage,
may lead to tossing the kiss with the hand.
This may be continued for weeks, and even
months, the poor bird pining in the cage,
until the attention of the parents of the
young lady is attracted, who then make in
quiries as to the status and antecedents of
the young man, and if these are W co their
standard, they invite him to call. He calls
frequently after that, paying most attention
to the maiden, poking reserved politeness.
