MY WIFE'S HAND.
ETery night when the stars come out,
And the birds bave gi.ne to rest,
A Utfle band, like a cooing dove,
Nestles about my breast;
Smooths my forehead and pats my cheeks.
Passe* its ringer tips
Over my eyelids and through my hair,
Lingering on my lips ;
Clinga to my neck and fjaspa my arms,
Till tired of its rareas,
And fallen asleep within my own,
That pnie white bund^I press.
Many a year baa come and gone ;
The li.tie band is cold ;
Children'* children are on uiy knee,
And 1 am growing old.
Yet esob night as the stars come out,
And I near the Heavenly land,
I feel as I felt in iny early days
The touch of that gentle hand.

THE BLACK KID SLIPPERS.
George Livingston was off to the White
Mountains. \ three weeks" vacation, which
he ventured to take-from his business—he
was a Boston merchant—would afford him
ample time to "ilo" the wonders at the uiottii-tains,
and ho wanted to shako off the dust
and smoke of the city for a season, and lire
again the happy scenes of his childhood. He
bad been reared among the gieen Sew Hamp-shire
hills, and tho plcasaMtcst hours of his
upon him till he blushed like a freshly-boiled
lobster.
AH dsy George was on the lookout for feet-
He made himself a perfect nuisance to every-body
by the persistency with which he
watched for the appearance of lower extrem-ities.
But ih.ougliout the entire day, the
only view which he was favored with was
one gigantic pedal belonging to Biddy, ex-hibited
when she took the liberty of kicking
a I'avoiiie pointer, that had put his noee too
near the sonp-liireen.
The following day a large party ascended
Mount Washington, and among them was
George I.iviuslon. Of course, all the ladies
was charming, and George, who had by this
time made himself agreable to most of them,
was more on the qui rirtjor small feet than
ever. In fact, ho hsd very nearly arrived at
tin- conclusion that the slippers belonged to
Angelin Hertford—a beautiful Boston belle*
with whom George had beeu slightly ac
i|iiainted for some time.
Miss Augelini! was a tall, .-lately brunette,
with magnificent hair and hazel eyes, and
bearing of a Cleopatra. George would have
l.-lt a little heller sitislied wilh the idea of
her being the proprietress of the slippers,hsd
il not been for the haughty, auioSt aupercil-liotis
manner iu which she addressed the
puic-facvd young girl thst attended bvr as
companion. Her graceful air led our hero to
look more particularly at the object of Ange-line's
evident contempt, and the scrutiny ut
once interested him in the pretty /xiiirdepeud-ant.

scenery was delightfully romantic, anil il was
deep nighl before they reached the hotel.—
Our hero, weary with the Jolting he had re-ceived,
retired directly to bed, slept soundly,
and awoke next morning with restored energy
and a sharp appetite for breakfast.
Of course it was naccaaars to make his

some fellow, and no good-looking man is
STerse to appearing his bent, especially when

opened the traveling bag for his dressing

He made another dive into the recepial.lt.

that her teacher is perfection, but 1 hardly

Ihe thought almost as soou us il was admit*
ted. It was sacrilego to indulge each an idea;
and there in tho solitudo of his chamber be
took a little private vow all by himself, to
tho effect Ibat he would discover the proprie-tor
of the slippers aud if she was as faullle.-s
as themselves he would propose at once.
No doubt you will call our hero precipitate.
We think he was, forwe know thai weshould
never dream of falling in love wilh any gen-tlemen's
boots ; but tbeu Women are not mi u.
which accounts for the difference. It was ex-ceedingly
romantic, George thought, to ex-change
luggage with a young lady so beauti-ful
and charming as tbo owuer of these slip-pers
must be. But the romance took a de-cidedly
blue shade, when be leaUapd that he
was la.'niK handkerchiefs, cravats, dressing-gown,
clean dickies, aud everything else ne-cessary
to the making up of a fashionable
gentleman.
However, he did the best he could «ilh
what he bad, and descended to breakfast with
■ '.acecuibruider~d handkerchief in bis pocket.
He expected to recognize a* a glance th- Ciu-derilla
of bis tbougbis, but nothing of the
kiud occurred. There were do/ens of pretty
ladies present iu pink, blue, crimson and
white morning dress.-- : but it they had tiny
feet, our hero was none ihe wiser fur it—us
no other euijuiring individual U likely lobe
in these days of expansiveciinolioe and trail-ing
skirts. George peered stauplt'iomdy under
the table as he took his seat, hoping to dis-cover
th' feet, cauaiug thereby the waiter to
inquire if the gentlemen hsd lost anything.

tly.
" Not another word on that coutcuiptiblo
point, or yonr ptojierty shall be contraband ;
aud I will never give up the slippers—"
He colored, and did not finish the sentence.
From that time Mr. Livingstone was par-ticularly
attentive to the Hereford party.—
Not a in..ruing passed that be did not walk,
ride or sit wilh them; and in consei|Uence
Mi-s Angelina was in raptures—for George
was a most desiiable i*irli, aud the hanghty
li.-lle had no objection to having a splendid
establishment of her own, with the necessary
iticiiml.ranee of so handsome and- diitiii'jve a
husband as Mr. Livingstone.
Once iu a lit of extraordinary graciousneaa,
she confided her plans to her cousiu, and
Florence listen d attentively, trying to think
herself delighted with Angelina*! prospective
happiness. Th-- expectant bride had decided
noon a whit.- sati.i, « ith a M.s-hliu lace over-dress,
for tin* bridal rube : six bridesmaids in
pink muslin, and as many groomsmen in
white vests and gloves—the ceremony to take
place at the Old Booth Church, to be followed
by a trip to Eurojio, if George was agreeable.
Florence—Unsuspecting little soul! Sighed
Softly, and wondered what had made ber eyes
so dim. that she could not see to thread her
needle.
The time for their departure from the
uiouiitaius waa at baud. The enaning dsy
ihe pleasant party at the Glen House would
W broken up—Mr. Livingstone returned to
to visit the Frsnconis rsuge and afterwards
return home by the way ofLake Winepiseogee.
Angeliue, in a most becoming toilet, wait-ed
impatiently in the parlor for the coming
of George Livingstone. He would surely
come and ask petmisaion to call on her after
their arrival home ; .nd she thought to be
very grscioua and a little tender toward him,
that he might know she waa not indifferent
to him. But the evening drew on. the youug
moon went dqwn behind the hills,-the damp-ness
took Angelina's hair out of curl, and
chilled her uncovered shoulders : she waited
until ten o'clock, aud then slammed down
the window and weut to bed! A wise pro-ceeding—
for in the shady garden at the back
of the house, walked George Livingstone, his
arm around little trembling Florence, while
his eloquent lips were "trying to tell her ho*
lonely and desolate his life would be without
the owner of those black kid slipiicrs.
Florence was poor, aud proud, ami sensi-tive,
and realized fully the barriers that sep-arated
her from George. But he recognized
nothing,as an obstacle, and before he let her
go iu be bad kissed roses into her cheeks.and
brought brilliancy to her eyes.
Three mouths aflerwanl a wedding took
place at the Old South, and the bride wore
white satin, aud a Mechlin lace over-ilress.—
But Angeliue Hereford was not pic-.eut—a
headache prevented her!
As for George, he keeps in an ebony box
the little slipper-, and blesses the day when
he exchanged traveliug. bags will*-the lady
who now is his wife.

by which the taxpayers of the county

Let the county lands on which Ihe
i"icir house is situated, be laid on! in

Of course there will always be some
aged, and infirm who will not be able

this number is small compared with
the whole number at our pom- house.
The past two years, the great majority
were ablebodied women and children,
who, if they had a small lot ■•( g mind
laid off to them, and they reqnired'to
plant and cultivate it for their support,
they would make one third, one hall
or three fourths of "ihe provisions re-quired
for their support, ami thus re-lieve
the commissioners of the m eessi
ty of furnishing that much.
And another object in my opinion
would be gained by such an arrange-ment,
which is this: so many persons
have such a repuguance to the idea of
going to the Pool House, if they knew
that they had to labor "there foi their i
support, that they would look more
earnestly to their means ami ability to»|
make a living elsewhere and not call
for help from ihe i-auuly.
I unueistand thai the counK/land
comprises an ana of four Jntutlretl
acres, which if the best parbfcl n were
laid out in two, or three acre lots,
would furnish houses ajra occupation
tor more laborers (ban have yel been
there, and as it is occupied, properl.t
cultivated, ami annuall) improved,
would, year altei'-yi-ar increase iu pros
duetion, until in/time instead of being |
a county charge, the pauper part of
the population, would become, :t sen'
supporting, and even a surplus pro
during people. If this system were
adopted and judiciously carried nut,
I would have the superintendent to be
a fanner, who could instruct, iu the
best methods of tillage, and who, iu
the winter season could colled the
children in school, and give instruction
in book learning, ami thus turn out.
instead of a set of worthless ineuni
brents a set of useful and intelligent

•• The woitdei ini ■ nergj exhibited by
the Southern people in struggling up
from the utter rain that followed the
late civil war is one ol the marvels of
the day. While contending against ,
the blundering, uujuxl acta of recon-struction,
originating, in hate and con-tinued
through g.ei-d. lit.:; deprived
them of a voice and vote in laws now i
involving the business interests of Ihe
entire country, the people have strug-gled
manfully and with success to u
certain extent to restore the national j
prosperity of their region. In this no
aid whatever has been given by the
General Government. On the contra-'
ry, its acts have bean aggressive to
the last extent, and it i.s no exagera-tion
to say that the Government tit

Judge Brook*.—This clear minded,
firm, and incorruptible Judge waa re-ceived
a few days since in Elizabeth
City, N". ('., upon his return home,with
a public manifestation of the approba-tion
and warm esteem of his fellow
citizens. He was saluted upon his
getting off the steamer in an appropri-ate
Address by !>r. 8peed on behalf of
the citizens; to which he responded
very happily and prudeutly. He saitl
that if in discharging what be conceiv-ed
to lie his duty he had lieen so for-tunate
as to call forth the approbation
of the entire people of the State, it
was a source of pleasant meditation.—
The Judge stated briefly the condition
of the prisoners when he reached Sal-isbury
; how they were suffering—
some of them denied all shelter and
exposed to the inclemencies of the
weather, miles away from their help
less families, and almost in a state of
starvation. The auditors were deeply
moved hy the picture. Thankiug the
citizensfor their demonstration of kind
feeliug, he concluded, and proceeded
at once to his residence, where his
family awaited his arrival, lie was
escorted by a long procession, bearing
torches, and iu the entire route he was
cheered, aud the ladies waved their
handkerchiefs from every window.
This demonstration is a significant
event of the times. This Judge dis-charged
only a plain nud simple duty
under the law. Yet, it has become so
rare that such virtue and stamina as
he displayed iu matters whieh assumed
a political bearing that he has elicited
the warmest approval ami the high
esteem of every intelligent and lair-minded
man in the United Stales.—
What a reward for a public ollieer!—
And yel, how many public men in this
day seem to be imlifli-rcut to if. and
how many, by their unscrupulous std-
Bsbneaa, draw down upon themselves
the contempt of the country aud hand
ilown their names to execration of fu-ture
generations. —Uich. IHxjuttch.

There are no miatakes. If Holsen did not

there are mistakes, when in truth there are
none f He deprecates and regrets any rsflso-tion

We believe the Governor "garbled" the let-ter.

Canning Tomatoes.—In the Syracuse
Union we find the following : "The
most thorough and reliable mode of
canning tomatoes is us follows : They
are just sufficiently steamed, not cook
ed, to scald or loosen the skin, ami are
then poured upon tables and the skin
removed, care being taken to preserve
the tomatoe in a.*, solid a siflte as poss-ible.
After being peeled, they are
placed in large |taus, with small bot-toms
perforated with holes, so as to
strain oil' the liquid that emanates from
them. From I hese pans they are care-fully
placed by hands into the cans,
which are tilled as solidly as possible—
iu other words all are put in that the .
cans will hold. They are then put
through the usual process and her-metically
sealed. The cans, when op-^
ened for use, present the tomato not
only like the natural vegetable in taste
aud color, but also in appearance.; and,
moreover, when thus sealed, they are
warranted to keep in aijv^elimate, and
wheti opened will taste as natural as
when just plucked from the vrhe."

I'IOIII the Richmond Whig.
Correct Version of Peter Francisco's
Encounter with the Britiek,
Burkeville, August 82nd.—Passing
through lowei Xoitoway, I halted a
night with William Ward. Esq., in a
part ol whose palatial residence the
American Heresies, Pater Francisco,
slew ihe British ollieer. The facts of
this historic tragedy are these: Peter,
happening to bsan unarmed guest of
Benjamin Ward {father of the preaeut
incumbent,) whin eight armed aud
mounted plunderers from Turle,ton's
army alighted, was. in common with
the family, despoiled of his valuables,
among which were his knee buckles.
Peter, chafing under the gross insult,
keenly watched his opportunity for re-venge.
. This wa.s presently offered, as
the ollieer wits following his seven men
don ii the steps leading out of the
house. Being a very short man, he
was under the necessity of raising tlie
scabbard (which contained a heavy sa-bre)
in order to prevent it from drag-ging
in going down the steps, and by
this act, the hilt of the weapon, sus-pi-
mieil as it was from the waist, was
lineessarilt placed a kimbo, and some-what
mine tn ihe rear. At this in-stant.
Petar, who was stealthily fol-lowing,
seizi-d the projecting hilt,drew
ihe glittering bhtde,and,by one mighty
stmse of accumulated wrath.I..id ojien
the -ktilLol its uaworthy wearer. The
seven attendants, seeing the late of
i iieii devoted leader, i 111 mediately "cut
■lira/1 to the main body of Tarletou's
■itmy, then only a h.ill mile distant.
An old engraving oi this attair,
which represent* Mr, Ward as offering
rl" British otnaer.» gun with which to
defend himself, is a gross misrepresen-tation
and a palpable slander. The
i>>niHi.-siti.n: is susceptible ol abundant
proof that a truer petrol than Benja-min
Ward did not live ,a America.—
Aii the above statements are sustained
beyond the possibility of doubt.
