It can be used as tt single plow, tising either 'cotton or turn plow'cast ings. As a single plow it can be used as au ordinary cotton plow to 'side cotton,' 'split out middles' or do all work necessary for a plow to do, in the cultivation of cotton; b)r putting on the turn plow castings it can be Used for all purposes, for which turnplows are used. 2nd., By attaching the second plow aTTOUijftrpfuw IS* fin irnr!J r't^Jl^vflfCtW' cotton row can be 'sided and the mid dies split out by going up and coining down' once. By putting on the turn plow cast ings, a double turn plow is formed, which ?ein do the work of 2 men and 2 horses, with one man JJand a single horso, with as much ease as with an ordinary turn plow. 3rd. By attaching the third plow, a .tripple.plow is formed' with which a man a and 2 horses, can do as much work, cither in 'breaking up' or 'plow ing in' small grain, in a given time, as 3 men and 3 horses.

It Js a singular but interesting study?the exquisite aliiuily which some emotions of our nature have with others of equal nobleness and purity. The commingling of the most delicate chemicals cannot .surpass the .syntheti cal combination of these priceless but inimaterial substunevs of the soul. While I do not think thai any dibit of. emotional synthesis could unite cowardice und tenderness into one indissoluble body, I have never known a man who was truly brave, in the best souse of the word, but his nature was tender and sympathetic. When our beloved and immortal Lee?God bless him !?walked over tho battle ground at Malvcru Hill, it was told me by one of his men, who Jay wounded himself upon that bloody field, that he never saw more sympa thy manifested by a woman than was shown by his idolized chief towards the men who had lallen underhis leadership mat day ftnd iioJpftpJj^frEi tore htmi wounded, dead or dying. The great Southern champion, just from the flush of victory over the de feated ioc, without one thought of the fresh laurels about his brow, left his suite, and, alone, went about among hit' fil'ow-ineti, to cheer and relieve thciu wherever he could. "With the tears streaming from his eyes, he here bends over a poor wounded private in rags and tatters, and lifting his head tenderly, puts the cup of water to his " lips; and while endeavoring to staunch the blood of an ugly wound, speaks words of hope and oomfort to the suf ferer, moaning so touchiugly in his pain. Over thee, he bows by some dead hero, fallen "with his face to the foe," and smoothing back tho matted und gory locks from the pallid face, reverently folds the icy bunds upon the pulseless breast and straightens the stiffening limbs in the cold embrace of death; then sadly passing on, now kneels beside one who fell in ?lose encounter with his Inst enemy. The soldier lifts his eyes to the pitying face of his beloved General, who, with tears still dropping down his bearded checks tenderly presses the clammy hand in his, and says in a low quiver voice : "My friend,.this is one of the heart rending hut inevitable results ol war. You have done your duly nobly and bravely; lift your heart now to Him who can savo, and lie will soon receive your spirit whore there is no more con icf. and death." '?'Tis love, love, (bat makes the world ^o round.'' Though the earth is gadder for the loss of Ivobert K. Lee, 1 thank (Jed that wc have known and loved him, and that his life with us is a precious and eternal memory ! Though we may never look upon his like again, it is a sweet joy to know that he is now Kale where "No winds of war will ever blow;" that his "tender crowned soul'! is with God, who is love?where no envious enmity can ever again vent its cruelty and malico against him, and no Lost Cause break his great, loving heart. _.-i i i r ff ?. - . -am?mm ? That was a shrewd method which an Iowa gjrl recently adopted to in duce" all her friends to attend hor wedding. She didn't let them know up to the lasi moment \vho I ho groom j was to be. A l'atriutic (Uli, At Irya time General Green retrea ted before Lord Rawdou from "Ninety Six, whmi he bad passed Broad river lie was reiry desirous tosend an order to General Sum tor who was on the ?AVttterce, to join him; that they might attack Rawdon, who had divided his fvrce. But the general could find no man in thai part of the Stato who was bold cnAugli to undertake so dan-; geroiS5moission. The country to be passed torougb for many miles was lull of blood-thirsty torus, who on ev ery occasion that offered imbrue I their bands in the blood of the whigs. At length Emily Geiger presented herself to General Green, and propo sed to act as bis messenger; and the general/both surprised and delighted, 0*030 with her proposal. He decor dingly wrote a letter and delivered it, and at the same time communicated the contents of it verbally, to be told to Sutnt'jr in case of accidents, Emily was y?utig, but as to her person or ad ventures on the way we have no fur Iber information, except that she was inountciLon horseback upon aside sad die, and on the second day of her jour hey shefwas inter opted by Lord Haw don'* schuts. Coining from the direc tion of prccne's army, and not being able to:tell an untruth without blush ing, Emily was suspected and consign ed lo a room, and as the officer in com raaritfrfi?d the modesty not to search her at ^he time, he sent for an bid to ry matt on as more fitting for that put nose. Ivjuily was not wanting in expe dient, rend as soon as the door was closed and the bustle a little subsided, she ateiup the letter, piece by piece.

JfyL ~fL>jL ftu?xJ^ k 1 A Mysterious Hand. j\ run otTowtii or Tin-: ckavi:?.ys to Xi SI 11X t i 1*11knom knon?w11A T IS IT ? A short time since mention was made in the L'uion and American of a mysterious hand that bad grown from a grave in Gibson. County. We got our information from an article in the Jackson Courier-Herald. "We extract from that article the following account of this wonderful phenomenon : ' "Moud.iy our city was unusually excited by tho exhibition iu the Vovr iei-Herald office of a hand of wood which grew out of a grave near York ville, iu Gibson County. It was brought into our of lice by Captain G. S. Andrews of tliat county, who gives us its history, A man named Wil liam Her ??on was outwalking witli bis wife one Sunday evening not long since, and iu passing *u old neglected graveyard, near the public road,1 she sa?v a gum bush with a b nth of mislctoc oil its top, and requested her husband to get it for her. lie went and cut. the top oil" the bush, and com menced breaking off the in islet oe, when, to his surprise ami terror, lie discovered that the wood underneath presented the perfect form of a human band. Capt. Andrews, hearing of the wonderful discovery, went to the hotiso of Mr. Herren, who, feeling rather uncomfortable over t he though I that he cut it from a grave, and per il-, ps having some theory as to il* supernatural significance, very wil lingly let Capt. Andrews have it. There are citizens of this city to whom Capt. Andrews and Mr. Horron are known, and they are vouched for as truthful men, but *bc hand itself is proof enough of (lie truth of their statement, concerning its growth on a bu>h. The bush from which it was cut i- .-ix feet high, and tho baud was on the top pointing upwards, present iug the position of the minister's hand when pri nouncing a benediction. It is about the size of it six year old; child's hand, with Jong slender fingers like those of a person very much emaciated by sickness. The wood has enlarged formations on each finger and the. thumb, representing and cor responding with the. joints of the hu man hand. The most remarkable feature about it is the natural appear ance of the nails. They have a kind of llesh color, and the balance of the hand, wdiere the bark has been entire ly removed looks ghastly white. The first impression it makes upon yon is the same experienced in handling a skeleton, and a large majority ol those who see it, regard it with the same subdued, half superstitious owe, inspired by the presence of a corpse. Mr. Andrews says the grave from which it was cut is supposed to be the grave of n very devout Methodist minister by the name of Butcher, who was buried there many years ago." Make it Two Dollars.

Bowingprofoundly, then strik ing an attitude, with one hand on his heart and the other extending a badly used jdug hat, he exclaimed with a dramatic air: "Have i the honor of addressing the Hon. ?hsn .1.
