Envy me not a southern Girl
I'm tired of the name
This potup and boat was once my pride
But now it is my shame .
Oh how 1 grudge the Northern girl
I1er jewels rich and rare
l'tr diamonds grace her snowy neck
And pearls bedeck her hair
(tI horuts)-- IIurrah-hturvah
For cAlico so fair;
I'm tired of this homespun dress
That southern ladies wear
Now nortlhern goods we c-annot get
Because of Abe's bloekade
And we are forced to be content
Witi goods thats southern made
We cannot' buy a yard of ailk
Or piece of northerf lace
But have to wear our homespun goods
At every time and place
'(Cltorus)-Ilurralth-hurrah & cir
My homespun dress is plain and coatbe
Aly hat's palmetto too
The tUnsy thing will soon wear out
And then what, will I do !
Our beaux are conscripts in the War
1ut that we do not wind
lecause we know that they'll desert
And leave old Jeff behind
(Chorus)-llurrnh &o
Our lads are driven from their humee
And dare not aeet the foe;
but we will coquet with the yanks
Till they cone back you know
''ho yanktee boys are cleverfellows
ne to te er me
I love their greenbaeks too
(Chorus)--Ifurrah &p
I think I'll go and take the oath
And- then nice goods I'll buy
Sich as the northern Ladies wear'
Who dross so handsomely
I'll choose me then a lover gay
With greenbacks gpite a roll
The la4 that has the largest. pile
Can have my heart and soul
(Chorus) -lurrah,&c
And now young men a word to you
If you would Win the fair
Go whore nice prints are to be had
youl find their hearts ar there
Itemember homespan goods are played
1e value them no more
Our tears are falling for the goods
The yankees have in store

Th,' P gervation of Timber,
I. the October number of the "Journal of
the 'rankliry Institute," there is a valuabtw
paper on ti' 'Preservation of Wood In Darw
and Wet 8i!ations." That the subject
one of "vast though unheeded importan '
will appear from the following statis a:
The annual drain which is exhaustin our
forests is sttutling, whet" we remember the
vast areas of.ourcountry utterly destitute
of titber-n"hen we learn, for instance, that
upon the 55,00) square miles of Illinois
there grows not a single pine tree large
enough fromo which to fashion a' board. Sta
tistius show that in 1806. about 5,000,000,
1100 feet of lumber, 2,000,000,000 of shingles
and 900,000.000 picee.4 of laths Wor-s sold
in Chicago alone. Mchtigan and Wisconsin
almost entirely surply . titat market. Six
ihousand tet of pino lumber per acre Is an
average yield. No formal calculati.n is
necessary to sltow that, with the present
demand, a single generation will exhaust
the supply those 8tates can atford. hint the
consumption increases in a rapid ratio. It
has alrestdy raised the prices. Clear lumber
sold for$8 Bper thouisand in 16, for $24
tier thoutad in 186. Following close In

the du bility of timber isalmost unlimited.

silica of St. laul Rome, were sound and good
after 1,000 years of service. Wood con

of Old Savoy Palace, London, in a perfectly
sonnd state, after having been down 650
years. t'Ie piles of Old London Bridge
were found sound antl perfect 800 years after

because of its careless consumption, but by

We do not yet feel the fRl effects of this,

less a duty than a matter of economy to give
a wide publicity to the fabt that. the duration

A BeautifI Sxtrftt,
It is a long time since we have read any
thing so beautiful in the English language
as the following paragraphs. They are
from an address, delivered before a conven
tion of the press of Mississippi, by Col,
Manlor, editor of the Vicksburg Tinies. Of
all fih' tribotes to the South and ler lost
cduse Which' have been published, we have
soon nothing to ozceed this in its touching
swnetness:
"Southern nationality is a dream of the
past. A gulf, beyond which we could not
pass, yawned between us and the ren'iza
tion of our hopes; and though bright tll*ers
bloomed upon its brink. and wafte I us
sweet perfume, we could not cross to gather
them.
"The Southern cross no longer gleams
out. amid the wild light of battle; the sword
of the vanquished is sheathed, a11l tle laud
is glootnyawith the harmless sepulchres of
our martyred dead. But when years upon
years slanu have passed away-when time
last of the present generation sleep with
their fathers, and new forms throng the< old
familiar places-when faclion shall have
hushed and justice hold the scales--then. as
bright as day and as free from blemish and
stain, will stand forth in bright relitf ipon

the march to victory, she won the ndtnira
