beautiful than the following';'
Come, in beautiful'dreams, love,
Ob; come to me oft, m
When the white wings of sleepOn
my bosom lie soft;
<5h, come when the sea, .
In the moon's gentle light, a
Beats soft on the air. 01
Like the pulse of the night? k
When the sky and the wave ^
Wear their loftiest blue, i .
When the dew's-on the flower,
And the star's on the cew. b
Gome, in beautiful dreams, love, ^
Oh, come, and we'll stray 8]
Where, the whole year is crowned ^
1 With tbe blossoms of May? j
Where each sound is sweet
-As the coo of the dove, "
And the gates are as soft tl
As the breathing of love; C1
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch'
"5he sweet lessons they teach.
Gome, in beautiful dreams, love, tl
Oh, come, and we'll fly, a
Like two winged spirits ?
Of love, through the sky,
With hand clasped in hand. r'
0n our dream wings we'll go.
Where the starlight and moonlight k
Are blending their glow,
And on the bright clouds we'll linger,
Of purple and-gold, *
'Till the angels shall envy ; 8
The bliss they behold. h

*The Coming Man."?It can no
longer be said that Chinese immigra- e
tion is a dream or a thing on paper.?
The "ball" is fairly started and at least t,
a thousand Chinamen, with their rat- ?
traps and pig-tails will be at work in >,
the cotton fields of this section before
tfce close of the coming picking season, i]
They will be of the Best and most reli- .
able laboring class, and will add greatly '8<
to the development of our resources and g
restoration of our lauds, which, since Q
tne war, have been relapsing into their
original wifastate. Geo. W. Gift, Esq., ?
wfll leave here on Thursday of this le
week in the interest of the Arkansas
River Immigration Company, and is au u
thorized to contract for and bring back (]
one thousand Chinamen, to be delivered
to Thomas H. Allen, Esq., agent of p
the company in this city. He goes via ?j
the Union Pacific Railroad to San Fran- h
eisco, and thence by steamer to Hong
Kong, which route will occupy between f(
ibrty and UTiy days. The return trip ?
will probably be all the way by water a]
to New Orleans.^, In the event that the w
necessary number and right material can
be obtained in California, Mr. Gift will
return at once with them from that ?
place deferring his trip to China to some 11
fiitnre time, or until thn 1
Chinese labor in the cotton fields of the ^
South is fairly made. He is provided w
with- the means necessary for expenses, c'
and has also letters of oredit for $?0,000 ^
Here is the first practical step in enterprise
that will no doubt result in
great good. Mr. Gift is the man to
oarry out the business successfully and
his return will be looked forward to to
with great interest and anxiety. The
example Bet by the company he represents
is one that Bbould be followed cc
throughout the South, and we trust the ,m
oompany organized in Memphis during w'
the past week, which is to operate on a
larger scale, will as make quick time in of
getting under full headway that the cc
practical results may be experienced be- h<
fore the close of this cotton aeason. g1
di
The CboN and the Cartei-Bag- 0f
oer.?The Baton Rouge Advocate is
responsible for the following good story h?
of ooons and carpet-baggers r n(
Is that coon lively ?' \\
Oh yes, sir, replied the black pos- c
eceaer of> as wild a specimen as ever
made tracks in the Comite swainp.
Well, I want a real lively fellow;
put him on that root,' pointiog to a low- I
or kuob-of a;very tall oak, and let's see
if he will stir himself.'
i W
No sooner said than done, and the
ooon went up the tree like a greased cc
streak of lightning. Yor satisSed, ar
boss, he's lively ?' 1?
Well, yes; but I don't want a coon in
a tree-top.' ^
The frcedman looked up the tree, fr
whistled, and scratched his head for an pe
idea, said, Well, boss, dat coon is like th
a carpet bagger; werry. promising when 88
he's down, but when he's uj) he ain't no
use to nobodv.'

A dilapidated old darky, in Mont- ^
gomery, Ala., while watching the monkeys
in a menagerie in the oity, solil- ar
loqnized thus : "Dem children got too "
much sense to come out dat cage; white
folks cut dar tails off.and.set dem to votin jj
and makin constitutions.'
A Traveler's Story.?Between
aleba Swamp and Line Creek, in the
tfatton," (Georgia.) we saw a considerable
crowd gathered near a drinking:>U6e,
most of them seated and amok- '
ig. We stopped'to see what was the j
latter. It was Sunday, and there had
sen a quarter race for a- gallon of- whisey.
The first thing I noticed' on
lighting was the singular position of
ae of the horses of the party. He was
neeling down and standing on his
inder feet, hia head wedged in between
be ends of two logs of the grocery, ai^d
e was stone dead, having evidently run
irectly against the building at full
peed, causing the house to partially fall,
ibout five paces from the horse lay the
der, quite senseless, with a gash in
is throat which might have let out a
aousand lives. As I said, most of the
rowd were seated and smoking.
"What is all this ?" I inquired.?
What is the matter here ?"
"Matter!" after awhile answered one,
a a drawling voice, giving a good spit,
nd refilling his mouth with a new cud.
Matter enough ^there's been a quarter
aee."
"But how came this man and horse
illed ?" I asked.
MWaII " 'incnjorarJ oliflminnr nnil
TT WUDITU1VU vuv ?.
pitting gentleman, "the mun was coniderably
in liquor, I reckon, and he ran
is hoss chuck against the house, and
hat's the whole on it."
"Has a doctor been sent for ?" inquird
one of our party.
"I reckon there ain't much use of docors
here," replied another of the crowd.
Burnt brandy would not save either of
3m, man or hess."
"Has this man a wife or children ?"
iquired I.
"No children that I knows on," anivered'
a female, whowas sitting on the
round, a short distance from the dead
tan, smoking composedly.
"He has a wife, then ?" I remarked.
What will be her feelings when she
i?m? fcVio fatal farm in at.a ranfi ?"
"Yes," sighed the female, "it was an
nfortunate race. Poor man ! he lost
le whiskey."
"Do you happen to know his wife ?
[as she been informed of the untimely
eath of her husband ?" were my next
iquiries.
"Do I know her? Has she been inmned
Qf his deatk ?" oaid woman.
Well, I reckon you ain't acquainted
bout these parts. I am the unfortunate
idder.
Paddle your own Canoe.?Judge
., gave his son a thousand dollars, tellig
him to go to college and graduate,
he eon returned at the end of the
rcshman year without a dollar, and
ith several ugly habits. About the
ose of the vacation the judge Baid to
b son:
"Well William, are you going to colge
this year ?"
"Have no money, father."
"But I gave you a thousand dollars
i graduate on."
"It's all gone, fathor."
"Very well, my son; it was all I .
>uld give you; you can't stay here; you "
ust now pay your own way in this
orld."
A new light broke in upon the vision
' the astonished young man. He acimmodated
himself to the situation;
3 left home, made his way to college,
-aduatcd at the head of his class, stu
ed'law, became Governor of the State
' New York, entered the Cabinet of
'I
e President of the United States, and
is made a record for himself that will
