She Is a fulr young creature. With meek and genile air, "With blue eye.s hoft and-loving, And silken, sunny hair I know my father gives lier The love he bore another; Rut if sho were an angel, I could not call her mother. To-night I heard her singing A song I used to love, When lis sweet notes were uttered By her who sings above ; It pained my heurt to hear it, Andlny tears I could not Hinother, For every word was, hallowed By the dear voice of my mother. My father, in thesansbluo Of happy daj'k to come. May hall forget the shadow That darkened our old home; His heart no more i lonelv, iiiiri and little brother Mitels till hojjiplmn children God can give uu but one mother.

Mr Church assumes such h position. Therefore Mr. Church tnu-t havi sinister designs in pro claiming hid independence of Hug control und party discipline. 2nd.

There fore Mr. Church is not an houost und reliable Republican. 3rd.

Mr Chtircii doew Hy he will not vote for such men. There forujsfr. Chin cli in no better th.iu a highwayman. 4th.

The foieiroiur at? speeinieii- ol the argument Jiud ci.nelusins of "Hawk Eye ' a pubiintu-d in your paper Isst w-ek. They only need to be sfuted to show how absurd hi- rossoniug U.

Should I ever be .o uuforluuate as to auijwun e myself a a uatididat.sfor pablj.' position, then my motive-, and pL.t record would le legitimate sub jeets for dicu-Eion by the press and the people who think that "nothing good can come out of Nazareth." In pj ftifuh a position I would asv.ime 10 oe a qualified, an hone-t and an uuright man. I wcmhl then subject myself to the charge of parading my own vir tues. It thun-miht truly be said of me, -Lord. I '.hank thee I am not as other men, ifcu." Until that time cornea permit me, if you will, to claim f imply that the Greeleys, independent of corrupt cliques, are preferable to the Galits, however houe-t, iu the hands of oor ruptionistf. Permit me, if you will, to prefer an honeRt Democrat rather thau an extravagant Furnas, of any tchnol, With his record of bribery. In taking this liberty I profess nothing us to my.sulf, morally or intellectually, but strive according to the measure of the light that oojnej? to me in my humble condition, to act in the inter est of humanity ami an honent, eco nomical govurnmentof the people by the people. "Th'e party lush has no terrors for me" when wielded in the interest of the true principles ot the parly, lyit when in the hands of a tyrant eompelliug voters to go the Hinught ticket without regard to the moral character of the men who com pose it, then 1 propose to rebel in the interest of better meiij "the terrors of the Fusdi" to the contrary, uotwith stauding. "Hawk Eye" is a I'hiloeo pher of a peculiar type if he ha dis covered that there -are uo ;nbre cor rupt men iu one party thail in anoth er. Until now men liave admitted thatcorruptmen gravitate towards the party iti power. So long as they are not permitted to coutrol the organiza tion ami its. machinery little harm is done. H.story discloses the indis putnble'fuct, however, that such men .do eventually get control of'theqiarty eaucusses auM conventions and for a tune peipetuateitheir power, and that in consequence mAv parties' areforced into existence, composed of the bet ter elements of the older ones.

The Houston (Texas) Mercury pub lishes a. speech recently mado by 'Brick Pomeroy in its city, from which we make the following extract: Oue year ago I differed from you regarding Mr. Greeley. He was the bait set by the bondholder of the laud to trap you. You took the bait, and fell into the trap. I wanted no Rad ical ; but one who had proven by his actri his allegiance to truth and integ rity and the principles of Democracy. I refused to support him, and you de nounced me. 1 believed it to be as impossible for the principles of De mocracy to triumph by the election of Greeley as it would have been for you to secure weeded blisa by court ing a Iudy for five, ten, or fifteen years, and then popping the question to tho .hired giri of your neighbor across lae street. "Jle theu'alluded to the Republi cans of Texa who were distinguish ed for,thbir "trhterpribe, 'and honored for their worth. The North has many of such, ami Texas would be- glad to see more of them, (alluding to Sura uer, Randolph, and Goode, of Sher man.) He fcuid may you have 25,000 more like them. While they will aid you financially they will not Uurt you politically, and we can well spare them in the North. He here paid Houston u high compliment, as be ing tho livelient and mo-t enterpris ing city in Texas. Hore a voice in quired : ' What has Northern men done for 2'cxas?" Pomeroy replied, "taken the weeds out of your fence corners, raued vegetables, planted fruit trees, built your largest and best houses, imported your finest breeds of horsos nud cattle, "erected nearly every machine shop, foundry, ami mill that you have among you. They have iiiinded their oiun business, and have not disturbed a large. audience by asking foolish questions They have strti'cn by honest industry to keep oul of the bheriffs hands, and thirty feel ahead of the tax collector. .' " Loud and prolonged cheering. If Brick Pomeroy continues to preach doctrines like these he will soon be de.iomiuated "a d d Yan kee."

When they had left it, she walked up to the minister, for whom she had formed a great friend ship, and said : "What did you say at the table, be fore we commenced eating?"

Aside from her local interest, the conspicu ous part which Vicksburg acted in the late war has given her a historic name which will never be forgotten. Her seventy times e&ven hills have become classic ; they are holy ground ; in their bosom liesj unmarked by mon umental grandeur, but not forgotten, the sacred dust of her brave defend ers. Indeed at this far off day, step ping ashore under these frowning heights, though their is no war nor rumor of war, oue can but think of time when war, grim-visaged and ter rible, stalkod through these streets and filled the air with missiles of death and desolation. The city should have p. brave name and lastic fame. The deeds of her defenders were glo rious, and should be told in son; and story. When the names of Badajos, Toulon, Sel.asto;jl. n-ud. Saragossa are mentioned, w-ho CVfotr lifts' evei stood upon her holy blood-stained hills ; wi.o that has ever road of her siege, of attacks and repulses, of her garrison feeding upon mule meat.aud humrry, and ranged, fighting and dy ing in the trenches, will fail to think of Vicksburg? Ten years have passed since that eventful 4th of July which witnessed the surrender of the town, which lay torn by shot and shell, scattered by fire, made desolate by famine. To-day I stand iu a thriving, busy, prosper ous little city, which shows hardly a sign cf the terrific storms of war which swept over it. For several days I have walked up its steep streets, climbed Sky Parlor hill ami Castle hill, looked at its old forts and earthworks now rapidly disappearing, and have found other curious travellers upon a similar sight-seeing mission ; but they, as I, find not so much as we could wish worth seeing. We have all been much interested in the numerous caves in the sides of the hills We ftud thenl every where that we go. All have narrow entrances, but inside many of them are spacious and divided into compartments or rooms It was in these that the women and children took refuge during the bom bardments. An old resident of ontof these "dwellings" told me some mar velous stories of the aeamperines of people to these hidimr places when ever the blur guns would commence to make it unhealthy to remain in thoir homes ; of hair breadth escapes where what s-eemed an inevitable tragedy would .suddenly become a comedy, of ludicrous scenes, and sometimes sad tragedies. Yesterday, with a former stafToffieer of a general cominaiidinsrhcrein ISfU. I rode from the Mississippi river he low to the Yazoo river and Chickasaw havou above, following the old line of fortifications around the city We struck the line of earthworks about four miles from the city, and after leaving the heavy works near the riv er bank, had at times some difficulty in ir.Hcir.g ihe line.

Relic hunters literally carried tho monument away in their pockets Leaving this historic spot, we rode on to that silent city, the national ceme tery, where sleep their last sleep twenty-five thousand of the nation's dead. It is a beavtiful spot, and most liber ally lias a remembering government assisted nature in its adornment. Stauding upon Prospect hill we look ed down upon its wide concrete drivta and promenades. embowered in south ern fwilage, some of which would do credit to your Cave Hill ; below at the -great father of waters, whose winding course is an unobstructed view for more than twenty miles, across to the village of De Soto and Delta, in Lou isiana, and then back again, two and a half miles to the south of us, the spires, domes, the terraced streets, and the green embowered streets o the city, itself upon lofty hills, yet be low us. The scene was beautiful, grand and touching beyond the news paper correspondent's pen. As the sun dropped behind the LonMana swamps, which stretch far away to thelblue horrizon. we rode over Fort Hill, where we had another view, looking eastward, and then down through deep cuts, pa-ta negro settle ment dim. dingy and dirty over a fast-running bnyou, and up again into Vicksburg.

The season will soou be here whSn farmeis will have to cut and securs' the erops of corn cut for fodder. la former yearsf when labor was abund ant, we found It most convenient to employ hand labor, using the common corn cutter. These remarks; of course, apply to corn sown in thick drills, aa no good manager ever sows broadcast. , Sometimes we have found a hand, win?, by the skillful use of a stiff scythe, would mow rapidly, and lay the crop as regular as if cut with a cradle. After cutting it was allowed to dry on the ground two or three days if the weather permitted, and then bouud in bundles and placed itr shocks. We are satisfied it is quite as well to bind it up at once. For even several weeks' drying has proved in sufficient in any ease to repel water su'Ilciently from the stalks tcpreveufc heating iu the stuck. This heating has always proved th great difficulty and is obviated iu various ways, soch as making large, upright and firm shocks, to remain in the field till wiu ter ; by spreading the uudrled fodder on poles under sheds, and throughout barns; or by makiug small stacks with three rails placed vertically irr the middle to form a ventilating chimney. The Country Gentlemdn recom mends, the present season of scarce" labor, that tanners cut their fodder' with mowing machince, placed so as to run sufficiently high for this pur pose, and then gather it with a horser rake, Uka common hay. If the corn has been sown at the rate of threo' bushels per acre, as it should have' been, 'he stalks will be fine enough to admit 6f thus being raked. It may then be pitched and drawn like hay, and built into small slacks with ven tilating openings in the centre. This" ventilation may be effected by placing the three rails as already mentioned, or by the common practice of build ing around a barrel placed in the cen--tre which is drawn up ns the build ing of the stack progresses, by means of a handle or rope across the top. There will be one advantage In stack- ing the stalks in this way, viz: the irregular and promiscuous way In which they cross each other will pre vent that close settling and solidity which takes place when sown fodder Is tied in bundles aud lying parallel.- Planting Strrvvrberrles In tlia Fall. Many persons believe that spring is" the best time to plant strawberries; but the Ohio Farmer seems to be of a different opinion, and gives the fbl-' lowing directions for fall plantfng: "When plartt3 are well set in tho fall they will fruit the next season, as it is the fall growth of root which supports the plant for the next year's fruiting. Go into your garden to-day, and pull up a strawberry plant which has fruited this season, and you will see the old stock of roots dead and black, and from the crown of the root beneath a set of new roots putting out ; these must make a good fall growth, oryou will get no considera ble crop of fruit next year; aud a transplanting now causes a less jar in the natural condition of the plant than If taken up at any other period' of the year. -Choose for planting yoar rtmilersr f that are Weir rooruu-- im-u-nu a.'cnuuy day proceed with your work. Draw a line where you desire to plant and" mark a place for the row; ; spread out to bri lhe dlrt well up to the crown of the piaut without covering tuo roots evenly on all sides; set in it, and press the sou down itrmiy with vour hands around the plants. If tho weather should prove dry, wa tor thoroughly, so as to soak the roots, as often as the foliage shows by Its drooping appearauce that water ia necessary. "Before the setting In of winter, cover the entire surface of the ground, over the plants and all. with a Utter of htrnw or other like material,-to keep the plants from the chnDges of freezing and thawing, to which they would be exposed if left on the sur face where the sun and winds would have full play upon them. This cov- erlng should be removed in thespring so a. to let the plants grow up with out hindrance. The fruit buds are? formed in li.e fall, and if they are In jured dtiring the exigenoies of winter 1 .imj early spring the crop of fruit will be lorit. Strawberries, like grapes, need a hrenerous. strong soil, hut not deem- t 3 ' . - , B,i lly fiat, and especially not recently staunched with green or raw materi al. If manure is needed, let itbq fine old, well rotted compo-t. aud lot it bo thoroughly mixed with the soil, which soil Js best to be a deep loam, though? some varieties, as the early scarlet, will flourish in sandy soils. A nioisfr soil is ulways tho best for strawbep--rles." . Smxil In Wheat. In a late number of the JPrairtd' Farmer some inquiry was made as to wbuther lime is a preventative agalnsc smui in wheat. My experience tells me that lime of itself would be of lit tle ue were it uot combined with a solution of salt. I will give my meth od of preventing Bmut, which has never failed : Save B3 much chamber lye as will thoroughly saturate the quantltj- of wheat you may wish to sow, then for every ten bushtla of wheat add two ounces of arsenic dissolved in rain water, spread the wheat on a level fioor, then take a broom aud dip itiu to tho mixture, shaking it ovor tho" wheat until- there is sufficient to wee the whole. Shovel It over once or twice, until you are satisfied It is all soaked alike, then sift over It a thin coat of fine slaked lime; shovel over until the lime adheres toall the wheat- alike. When it is ready for sowing, should there be occasion to wash the wheat In salt brine for the purpose of cleaning it, the dissolved arsenic may be added to a small quality of cham ber Jve and applied as above. Do not let the pickled wheat remain In the bags over night. I have tried this several times, and hae found it to accomplish the desired effect-in alt cases.
