SPRING..

Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.
All verdure seems perfection,
Painted by hand divine:
Every branch is clothed with beauty
And likewise every vile.
The forests are most mag lifcent
And dazzels the human eye;
We pause to praise it's designer,
Who reigns supreme Ga high.
The hills and plains in gorgeous array
Are painted by nature sublime
By one who rules the universe
Aad all therein combined.
We linger with breathless emotion,
To listen at the beautiful song,
Of the birds in every direction,
AS they sing, we wonder along
The flowers display their brightest hue,
Their oders perfume the air;
We stop to pluck the fullblown rose,
And leave the buds 50 fair.
The Spring, joyous, happy Spring,
Ere long must take it's flight,
And usher Summer on the wings
OF pure and perfect light.
We hail the approach of Summer
With bright and happy hearts;
We say farewell to happy Spring,
Though from it hate to part.
We desire to thank the Creator,
By earnest and sincere prayer,
For the love which He hath shown US
And for His protecting care.

COLEMAN SWINGS.

Henry A. Coleman. the man who
murdered a farmer named Grant,
near Norfolk, Va. some time since,
was hung on Friday, May 31st, in
Norfolk county. 1t is claimed that
he had several names. and his right
name was Matt Barney.
The Norfolk Virginian gives us
HIS PAST HISTORY.
"There are various speculations in
regard to Coleman's past life, which
proves that he was man of nerve
and a desperate character. Jailor
Hutchings has kept a diary of little
things that the condemned man had
told him from time to time. He gave
as his reason for coming to Norfolk
that he had cut man with an axe in
North Carolina, and that reward of
$3.50 had been offered for his arrest
After wandering around for while
in the woods he gave himselfup, was
convicted, sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, but made his escape and came
to Norfolk. He denied positively
being Forde Knox, and said he never
saw the woman before. He also told
the iaiior to write to certain parties
and they would tell whether his state
ment was correct or not. He also
denied ever having killed anyone be-
fore, and said that his name was Matt
Berney.
Mr.. Thomas Dwyer, former resi-
dent of this city, bur now resident
of North Carolina, visited the Jail
Yesterday and witnessed the execu-
ton. He asserts positively that the
man was Forde Knox, as he assisted
in capturing him in York county, S
c., lust across the line frem Mecklen-
burg county, Va, for the murder of
a Mrs. McAIathews, of Statesville
county, n. G. On their way back
with him they stopped in store to
take drink and left him guarded by
one of the party with gun. Forde.
as he called him, seized the gun and
killed the guard and made good his
escape. He afterwards turned up
near Forestville, N. c., when he and
others went after him. He was cap
tured by Mr.. Durant, who tied him
before the balance of the party came

and bunk made of two planks twelve
inches wide each, which are placed on
two pegs driven in the log elevated
some six feet from the floor. On this
Julius sleeps with but little to cover
himself during the winter. He is some
what of recluse in his habits.
AS stated "Julius'' is very ignor-
ant man, can neither read nor write,
and has quite novel and new way of
committing his thoughts on board or
paper. He has learned to make capital
letters, which he calls printing, and he
uses two capitals for every verse.
One of his latest compositions is that
upon the negro exodusters specimen
of which is given below:
Some poor creatures was to go off,
So they can feast on lemons;
I had rather live here in North Carolina
And eat blackberries and simmons.
John Watson have done wonderfully
Have worked and bought lot,
And if he goes to Arkansas,
He I'll lose what he is got.
You all may go just when you choose.
[ tell you as frienG,
Before six months go over your head,
You wish you was back again.
Fruit trees is hanging full of fruit,
Wheat patches looking green
Now this will be the best crop year
That you have ever seen.
After this philosophic view of the
situation Julius wanders off and dis
cusses the question in verse at length
and concludes with the following:
If the wolves and the bears and varmits
don t eat us,
Good night, my friends, good night
You II certain be bit by the Southern
muskitoes,
Good night, my friends, good night
