y, painter, paint me picture!
Not studies of morn or eve,
But bid the dumb canvas utter
The story my lips shall weave
Your brush shall be truth, your colors
The varied hues life wears,
And artists to moisten your tears.
First, paint on the magic canvas
A meadow of freshest green,
With here and there daisy
Peeping the rock between.
Rocks ragged and sharp, and bloodstained,
Where tender young feet have gone
From the dead mothers icy bosom
To Chamber the rocks alone.
Then, paint me weary desert,
Oerhung with leaden sky,
Where never bird would carol:
And never a breeze sweep by.
Dip your brush In the waters of March,
And paint desOlation there:
A buried hope and the grave of love,
And the visage of fierce despair.
Then, next, paint fervid summer,
A gorgeous tropical scene
With bursting fruit and bleeding vines,
And the foliage rank and green:
With rosy clouds and golden
O Qerhanging the scene above,
With my soul for your palette, artist,
Paint me this scene of love.
Then, fill up your canvas, painter,
With clouds of misty gray:
Tomorrow is yet in cloudland,
Our picture is done to-day;
I'll hang it where all shall honor
A talent so bold and free,
But the name of the picture, artist,
Is known but to her and me.

TATLERs.-There is one class Of
persons in every community worse
even than Loafers ; that is the class
usually known as Tattlers. They
generally have business of their own,
but they much prefer to attend to
thatof other people, and in fact their
knowledge of the latter exceeds their
knowledge of the former. This class
of people abound mostly in villages
and small towns, where everybody
knows everybody else; but large cit
les are not exempt from their undesira-
bic presence, and they are found even
in sparcsly settled country neighbor-
hoods. The audacity with which
they invade the sanctity Of domestic
life, and prey into the most cherished
household secrets, would excite our
admiration, did not Indignation get
the better of us.

one tell why men who cannot pay
small bills can always find plenty Of
money to buy liquor, and treat when
happening among their friends?


Can any one tell how young men
who dodge their washerwomen and
are always behind with their landlord,
can play billiards night and day, and
are always ready for game of poker
or sever up?


Can a.&sy one tell how men live and
support their families who have no
income and do not work; while others
who arc industrious and constantly
employed, half starve?


Can any one tell how it is that q
man who is too poor to pay for a
newspaper, is able to pay a dollar or
two day for tobacco, whiskey Or
cigars.

TIE BANKRUPT LAw.-Congress
having refused to change the time of
putting this law into operation, it is
presumed that Chief Justice Chase
will, as soon as possible, proceed to
the appointment Of the commissioners
of bankruptcy in the different districts
of the country. The term Of the Su-
preme Court affords opportunity to
confer with the Justices of the differ
cnt districts on the subject. What
with the wild fluctuations of the past
few years, the effects of the present
prostration and apprehension of fur
ther disasters in financial and busi-
ness circles, there are likcly to be
plentiful thousands III the country
who will find it necessary to avail
themselves of the benefits of the law
in order that their hands may be un-
tied and their energies once more
made free and available.

TIE Most INDICTMENT MAN.
There is no man more independent
than the owner of a we'll cultivated
farm. He is less beholding to popu-

He has always a sure support before
him without consulting the opinions
or relying upon the custom Of any
one. There is constant market for
all the surplus he can produce, and
he obtains for it the current prices
without any one demanding of him to
know of his religious or political faith.

To Cory MANUscRIpTs.-The fol-
lowing method for obtaining copies of
manuscript papers will be Of great
service to those who wish to preserve
copies of what they write: Put a
little sugar in common writing ink,
and with this write on common paper
sized as usal. When q copy is re-
quired, take some unsized paper and
moisten it lightly with wet sponge,
and apply the wet paper to the wri-
ting, and pass lightly over the unsized
paper moderately heated iron and
the copy is Immediately reproduced.

SIMPLE REMEDY.-Cofee made
strong and clear as possible, without
any addition of sugar or milk, is an
excellent remedy against the vomit--
ing peculiar to cholera-morbus and
cholera infantum. For an adult the
quantity to be given is tablespoon
full, and to an infant tea spoonful,
every ten minutes. The writer OF

days past witnessed its efficacy in the
case of inveterate vomiting, which,
after having resisted a variety of the
usually effective means, yielded in

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.-A brief par

writes from Amite City, under date of
Sept Sd:


About the year 1880 became acquainted
with an aunt of my wife. who was then
upwards of ninety years of age, and dined
with her at the house of her son, who was
born when his mother was sixty years old,
and who was fifteen years younger than his
next youngest brother or sister. This old
lady was the wife of one Adair, of South
Carolina, whose name is honorably mention
ed more than one time in the history of the
revolutionary war, and when | met her in
Alabama she had regained her eyesight, and
did in my house, make herself fine muslin
cap without the aid of glasses. Soon after
this period she concluded that the return of
sight was a warning that she was not long
for this world; consequently she returned
to California to be buried by her husband,
but after a stay of four years she concluded
that she was mistaken, and returned to
Alabama, having four new and full grown
teeth in front, two above and two below
Ny wife and myself have raised nine chill
dren, and have lived to see the youngest Ia
daughter) married. We are both in good

dinary aunt by presenting me with a fine
son to repair in part the loss of our two sons
in the Confederate army.
