_ _?BP MISOEriliA?TY Tho Girls. A TAKOUY ON "THE SNOW." Oh! tho girls, the beautiful girls. With the liquid eyes, and tho golden curls, Sailing along through thc crowded street, Turning tho hoads of the youths they meet, Tilting, Ogling, Skimming along. Beautiful girls! they can do nothing wrong: Tho blush of the rose on each soft dainty cheek, In which lovely dimples play biderand-go seek, ' . Showing their ankles and a little above. Pure as ?.u ango! and tickle as love. Oh! the girls! the beautiful girls, .How tho boya gather, and sigh as each whirls Her tilter along at a delicate height, Just skirting tho beauties forbidden to sight. Tripping, Laughing, Hurrying by; With a smile oa tho lips, and coy glance of tho eve, And the little dogs bark, and with a Joyous bound, Snap at tho tilters that eddy around. Tho town is alive, and each heart in a whirl, To welcome the coming of each lovely girl. How lovely they look as they tilter along, Hailing each other with kisses and song! And past a poor fellow, like meteors, flash kv, Bright for a moment, then lost to the oyo. Wriggling, Swinging, Dashing they go, Disregarding the breeze that plays havoc below,. With long Heating trail, as pure as the *ky, j To bc trampled in mud by the crowds rushing by: _ j To be trampled and tracked by dozens of feet, ! Till it blends with tin filth iu the horrible j street. Once 1 tripped on a tilter and fell, Just as 1 passed a gailv dressed belle; Pell, and my beaver rolled out in the street. Fell, to be scoffed at, and jerred at, and beat. Scrambling, Cursing, Dreading to rise, And afraid, on my soul, to open my eyes. Above aud around me, the broad expanse Of hoops that i'er tilted iu giddy round dance. Wildly, at last, I da.-ted without, And dashed down the street, as tho boys raised a shout. Once I was green as the greenest of leaf, Nothing too big to exceed my belief, Every girl laughed at my innocent grace. And vowed that I looked at naught else but her face. . Greenness. Credulity, Grace "and all, Shame and my blushes I lost by that fall. I learn nothing new as the girls saunter by. And tilter t II ir hoops, no matter how high; For all that's within or without me, I know. Since I tripped on that tilter, and made such a go. How strange if that patent heaving bosom of snow Should fall at her feet on the pavement below; How strango if that pilo of tightly bound tresses Should roll down her back from the head it depresses. Fainting, Freezing, Rushing ahead. Unmindful of all save the beauties thus shed, The tilters dropped off, and left far behind, The little lace bonnet flying off in tho wind; But tho worst of all mishaps-they do no? thing by halves How btrango if iu running she'd drop her false calves. The ' "local" of the Lynchburg (Va.) News thus describes a happy sight, which he -witnessed on Monday, in that city: We saw a woman, yes? terday, from the country, promenad? ing Bridge street, underneath a new spoon-bowl hat, decked with a rooster feather, inside of a tilting "skeert," before a huge waterfall, having in her mouth a corn-cob pipe, and in her arms a baby, about two months old. She looked like she felt she was in Mahomet's seventh Heaven, and was just ready to exclaim, "Cut my straps and let me go to glory." She was a curiosity. lu Eaton, New York, there is a cornet band, composed of twelve performers, all of one family, named Lockwood-brothers and their sous. They aro "natural" musicians, and take to Instruments as soon as they can walk. They are all "sharps." It is said the little Lockwoods cry by "note," aud, generally, without any "rest" to their neighbors. There is something very sensible in the impromptu remarks of a pretty girl not a thousand miles from Bos? ton: "If our maker thought it wrong for Adam to live single, when there was not a woman on earth, how criminally guilty are the old bache? lors, with the world full of pretty girls." Mr. Henry J. Raymond was edu? cated at the Genessee Wesleyan Semi? nary, New York, and the students of the institution lately investigated the records, to find which of the rival secret societies he belouged to. They were rather amused than astonished to find his name on the rolls of both. Mrs. Ford, of Monroe County, Ky., gave birth, on the 16th ult., to three children-all boys-weighing 7}.< pounds each. All are living aud healthy. Names-George D. Pren? tice, Robert IS. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. A radiant genius who thought he could edit a newspaper better than anybody else, tried at for our. week, and retired in disgust, is still on the wall looking for a clerkship lo a se? cond class pea-nut stand. If a bigamist were sentenced to live with his two wives in the same house, the crime would soon become extinct. Why is David supposed to have been intemperate? Because he slewed Goliah with a sling. A Ncvr Dodge of the Freedmen. We deem it our duty to put our planters on their guard against a new danger which, in thoir intercourse with their freed laborers, they will have to encouuter, and the conse? quences of which may prove disas? trous to thoir future operatious. The instance wo are going to cite occurred on the plantation of one of our own relatives in Louisiana, and we have heard that others have been recorded in our own Stute. Tho gentleman had engaged about fifty hands, and raised a crop of cot? ton, sugtr and corn; the cotton for immediate sale, the cane to plant and stock for the next year, and the corn for tho support of the hands till next crop. But beforo the corn was ripe, ho had necessarily to buy his own supply, and when gathering time came on, ho had only to provide for a few months longer out of the new crop. Ho had calculated that this would require about 1,500 bushels, and leave him 35,000 bushels for his next year's supply. But the freedmen, who were en? gaged simply by a contract expiring with the year, had also shrewdly cal? culated that all the corn they required to reach the term of their contract was the same 1,500 bushels, and when once that quantity, a littlemore or less, had been gathered, they ceased to take any further interest in the balance, which, notwithstanding the entreaties and persuasions of the planter, was allowed to rot in the field. The freedmen just provided for themselves, and left the planter to protect himself as best he could. This is an indication of what may be j expected from the present stock of laborers. v When employed on shares, they will take their own time, under pretext that they are their own mas? ters, and if they dou't work, they will be losers, and are willing so to be. When employed at stated wages, and for stated periods, they will not even consent to raise more provisions than the very quantity they expect to need for their own support; thus leaving the planter without any stock j to coman nee operations for the fol- ! lowing catupaigu. This matter is one so very serious, that in tho instance we have quoted, tho planter confesses his inability to hold out another year, and is dis? posing of his property. [Mobile Times. HEAVY CBOPS IN THE WEST.-It must be a matter of congratulation with our impoverished planters to know that the great grain fields of the West have produced an abundant harvest, and that the prospect of low priced corn for the next year is good. Our Western exchanges report large crops of all the different cereals, in that teeming section, and we have no doubt but that provisions, and parti? cularly corn, will be cheaper than for some time past. The Dubuque Herald, in a recent issue, says: "We are informed that both the Dubuque and Dunleith elevators are full to overflowing, and the same can be said of every elevator on the line of the Dubuque and Sioux City and South-western Railroad. The Illi? nois Central have not more than half cars enough to ship the grain, hence it is allowed to accumulate. The same evils which have cursed our Western producers in former years are arising this fall with redoubled force, namely, 'insufficient transpor? tation for their products.'" In East Tennessee and in Ken? tucky, the corn crop is larger than ever known before. We learn that corn can be bought in East Tennessee for twenty cents per bushel. The freight on it to Middle Georgia can? not be, we would suppose, moro than thirty to forty cents. Even at the latter figure, corn might ba laid down on the different lines of our railroads at a cost of from sixty to eighty cents, | including sacks. It would be better for our planters ia each County and neighborhood, j who have to buy corn, to agree among themselves how niuch they need, and ! send an agent to make the purchase I for the {whole amount required for ? each County or neighborhood. In this way, we have no doubt that the j corn necessary for the cultivation of | the next crop can be purchased for ; about one-half the price it is now sell- I ing at in our large cities. The expe- ? riment is at least worth a trial. [Augusta Chroiiicle. I That extraordinary casuist, editor 1 of the Detroit Tribune, says "the South did not lose any property by the abolition of slavery. The slave holders did lose their property; but j what they lost was gained by the j slaves themselves. The slaveholders i ceased to own the negroes, and the negroes became the owners of them? selves." That's about as clear as Okefenoke mud, and as translucent ! as the waters of Tar River. If there j is a vacant chair in the Michigan l Lunatic Asylum, the Tribune man is ! entitled to it. The negroes used to j be worth, under the old Constitution, j $1,000 a piece. There are hundreds ? and thousands of them now that are ! not worth a cent, either to themselves I or anybody else. The latest news from thefcconstruc j Hon trains on the Pacific Railroad is, j that the track is completed 266 miles ; West of Omaha, and is still going i down at tin rate of two miles a day. j A force of from 9,000 to 12,000 me- j chanics and laborers is steadily at i work on this great highway to the I Pacific. I Tho Washington city correspond? ent of the Charleston Courier states that ?'the articles of impeachment arc actually drawn, and have been sub? mitted to some legal adviser of the radical party. They wero drawn by Mr. Bingham, of Ohio. They will bo offered. But a chango is coming | over tho Northern commercial inte? rest in regard to the radical pro? gramme. They will resist tho im- ! peachment of tho President, because | it will necessarily produce much financial and commercial destructionT and if it result in his deposition, will set tho Mexican examplo of chronic revolution in the Executive po\vei\" ENGLISH COTTON IMPORTS.-Eng? land has imported, in eight months, this year, nearly 9,000,000 cwts. of raw cotton, valued at ?53,000,000, against only 4,501,OtO cwts., valued at ?24,000,000, in thc same time, iu 18G4. But this formidable increase of ?29,000,000, in less than three fourths of a year, excited little or no apprehension of future financial dis? turbance in England. On the con? trary, it is claimed that "the expe? rience of the past ought to dispel all I doubts as regard? tho imports of raw ! cotton. At the annual meeting of the Over? seers of Harvard College, held ou | Tuesday, at Cambridge, Kev. Edward j E. Hale offered a resolution that a j Committee of five be appointed to ; confer with the Corporation and with ; the Trustees of the proposed Metho- j dist Institute, to consider the propri- j ety o? connecting that Instituto with i the College. The resolve passed, and I the Committee was appointed as j follows: Kev. Messrs. Hale, (.Marke, ! Miner, and Messrs. Dana and Rich- j ardson. A VKRMONTER.-Sir Curtis Miran-1 dar Lampson, created a baronet in j England for services in the Atlantic j Telegraph enterprise, is a native of \ Vermont.
