There la Vo Death.
OT BIB B. BOLWBB LTTTOB.
There ia no death ! The stare go dowa
To rise upon soma fairer shorej
And bright in Heaven's Jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
There U bo death t The dot I we tread
Shall change beneath the cummer ihowera
To goldon grata or bellow (rait,
Or rainbow-tinted floweiJ. ,.
The granite rocks disorganise
To feed the hungry moea they hear;
The foreat learea drink dally lMa
From one the rlewleea air.
There la n? death I The ledrcs may fall.
The ftowem may fhde and para away;
~ They ooly wait through wintry hoars
The coming of the May.
There ! no death ! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread j
Me hears our heet lored things away;
And then We call them " dead."
Me learea our hsartsall desolate,
He plucka our fairest, sweetest lowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad theae scenes of alu and atrlfe,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he shea a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint end rioo,
He bears it te that world of light,
To dwell in Peradios.
Dora unto that undying life,
They leevo us both to eotne again )
With joy wo welcome them?the same, Except
in sin and pain. *
And eror near us, though unseen,
Tbe dear Immortal spirits trend ;
For all the boundless universe
Is life?there are ao dead.

Moixa Cotton.?A specimen of
this excellent variety or tho cotton
plant has been on exhibition for
several days at the house of Messrs.
Greer ?fc Lake in this city.
The stalk is of medium height, but
it exceeds in quantity of fruit any
'specimen which we have overseen.
It was grown by onr enterprising
citizen, Judge J. W. Knott, at his
residence upon the Bnburbs of the
city. It is stated, upon reliable
authority, that the prico of seven- '
ty cents per pound was refused in '
Savannah last season for a bale of
this cotton. It is equal in staple
to t h e finest Sea island cotton,
whilst tho yield per acre exceeds ,
it. Wo understand that it was (
grown by Judgo Knott as an ex- ]
ncrimcnt. The results so far are ,
highly satisfactory. Ho has but |
six acres of it in cultivation, and i
some wise men estimate that he j
will pack two and a half bags to j
the acre. We bog Mr. lvnott not \
to be making any such ridiculous |
crop as that. Twelve hundred <
pounds of this cotton to the acre
would be worth, say $840. <

Country Girls.
Meta Victoria Fuller, in a sisterly
way, thus talks to country
girls:
The farmers' daughters are soon
to he the life ? well m the pride
of this country?a glorious race of
women which no other land can
ibow. I seek not to flatter them ;
for before they Can become this
they will have to make an earnest
effort for one or two kinds. There
are some who deprecate their candition,tkey
demand more consideration
than tlioy merit. A want of
intelligence upon all the subjects
of the day ana of a refined education
is more excusable in a connKrir
nrii-1 in ??
mm j gill) VUVSO uajo VI mwiiJT
books and newspapers.
Many girls are diseonraged because
they cannot be sent 'away
from home to boarding school; bnt
men of superior mini and knowledge
of this world, wonld rather
have tor wives women well and
properly educated at home. And
this education can be had whenever
the desire is not wanting.
A taste for reading does wonders;
an earnest thirst after knowledge is
to attain certain a sweet draught
from the Pierian Spring. There
is a fanner's daughter in this very
room in which I am writing?a
beautiful, refined and intelligent
women?in whose girlhood books
were not so plenty as now, and
who obtained her education under
difficulties which would have discouraged
any bnt one who had a
true love for study.
Confederate Heroism.?Whatever
else written about the late
war may be true or false, the following
from the pen of Qon. J. A.
Early, or Virginia, will never be
disputed 5
I believe that the world has never
produced a body of men snperi*
or in courage^ patriotism and endurancef
to the private soldiers of
the Confederate armies. I have
repeatedly seen those soldiers submit,
with cheerfulness to privations
and hardships which wonld appear
to be almost incredible ; ana the
wild cheers of o n r brave men,
(which were so different from the
studied hurrahs of the Yankees,)
when their thin lines sent back opposing
hosts of Federal troops,
staggering, realing and flying have
often thrilled every fibre i n my
heart. I have aeon, with my own
eyes, rarged, barefooted an?i hungry
Conlederate soldiers perform
deeds which, if performed in days
of yore by mailed warriors in glitc
tering armor, would have inspired
the harp of the minstrel ana the
pen of the poet.
A Noble Boy.?A boy of fifteen,
in Black Law county, Ohio, whose
father died three rears ago, leaving
his widow arnf son an eighty
acre farm burdened with a $1,000
mortgage, has taken whole and
solo charge of tire farm, hiring
help only in seed time, harvest,

Advantage OF LAW.? A youn^
man who studied law in Connecticut,
became acquainted with the
following facts, which are very remarkable,
though not very singular
: A farmer cut down a tree so
very near the boundary line of his
[arm, that it was doubtful whother
it belonged to him or his neighbor.
The neighbor, however, claimed
the tree, and prosecuted the man
who cut it for damages. The case
was continued from court to court.
Time was wasted, temper soured,
And temper lost; but the case was
finally gained by the prosecutor.
The last my friend knew of the
transaction was the man who "gained
the causo,*' came to the lawyer's
office to execute a deed on Lis
whole farm, which he had been
compelled to sell to pay his costs!
Then, houseless, and homeless, he
jotild thrust his hands into his
pockets apd triumphantly exclaim,
4 I've beat him 1"
Wirr is a candle-maker the
voret and most hopeless of men f
because all his works are wicked,
ind all his wicked works are
ironght to light.
