FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1868. ill? feftte. HOMESICK. Trnnilato. , , I. I know not what the reason is,— Why I'm constraint to go Each year that passes, to that home, I left so long ago. 1 seek for nothing: there, 1 know, No legacy, no gold ; But still a feeling strong as life, My heart doth strangely hold And urges on my footsteps to That homestead gray and old. II- The nearer I approach the goal, The faster would 1 run ; For something in my heart seems wrong, That aches and drives me on. The last hill's reached and on I leap But ere the top I gain, I stretch me to my utmost height And with delight' ag?.in, See the old stone house through the trees And wish I were therein. 111. See! how the kitchen chimney smokes, How oft that sight I've seen, As when a boy I wandered through The fields so bright and green ! Oh ! do you see the window panes, They seem all dyed in blood ; I often marvelPd at that sight, Though never understood It was the sun's expiring beam That in the window stood. Ah ! many things the young know not; Did they, 'twere not so good ! IV. Oh ! how I love those poplar trees, They stand like brothers there; And on the topmost branch there sits A blackbird, I declare! The bough is bending—how it swings! How fast the birdling clings ! And now he smooths his feathers soft, And shows his bright red wings. I trow upon that very tree There is a little nest And that his little wife doth hide The young birds 'neath her breast. V. Oh ! I remember very well, When those same poplar trees- Were brought, than corn-stalks not more large, I bore them oil" wjth ease. On old Grandfa-her's homestead grew The parent stems, and we, When xMother brought the twigs from thence, I'J an ted them where you see, Just as she told u-,—don't you think Those selfsame trees they be! VI. But now the house is almost reached How distance shrinks and Time, When the free mind robins at its will In Thought's congenial clime! There is the "shop," the corn-crib tli ere, The cider-press there too; And there the barn, and there the spring, How fresh its waters blue! And see! the same old clapboard fence, And small gate opening through ! VII. Now, all is still; they do not know A stranger stands so near; Old Watch—l guess he must be dead, Else he had leapt out here. For furiously lie used to howl Whene'er he heard the gate; And passers-by in quaking fear Ran from him as from Fate. Vain fear! he bark'd but once or twice, Then backward turn'd his gait. VIII. Yes, all is still; the door is shut; T pause to think—but now A slight noise from the kitchen comes A rattling sound, though low. I do not enter; cannot yet; My heart is heavy, sick ; I'll sit a while upon the porch Where climbs the grape-vine thick. And seated on the dear old bench, Behind that shelt'ring vine, No one shall see the tear that flows Adown this cheek of mine. IX. There are two places on that porch, I'll sacred hold and dear, Until my sun of life shall set Beyond the Lethean mere. When first I left my father's house, My mother weeping stood Just by that railing, and since then To me 'tis holy wood. X. I still behold her standing there, Her kerchief in her hand ; Her cheeks a-flush, her eyes suffused, Just as she then did stand. There gavv 1 her my fond adieu, And wept as it I gave. It was the last; ere I returu'd They laid her in her grave. XI. And still I think I see her lean Upon the railing there, And sob as from her presence now I seek myself to tear. She sits not in the rocking-chair, She moves no other where, I think not of her in her grave, I only see her there; Before my soul she stands for aye, Dear, loving mother-heart, And weeps as I my footsteps turn From home and her to part. XII. But wherefore wander now my eyes Just to the bench's end ? Knowstthou? My heart is not yet dead; Thank God ! Time cannot rend From memory how my father there, Sat many afternoons, When from the trees the birds did pip Their pleasant summer tunes; With hands crossed on his knees he sat, His staff laid by bis side ; In silence sat; what was his thought, In that still summer tide? , XIII. Perhaps it is a childish dream That so enthralls his mind ; Perhaps he is a boy again, To pretty schemes iucliu'd. Just now he lifts his aged eyes And looks out o'er the field ; Perhaps he sees the church-yard there, Where, in her tomb ensealed, The partner of his bosom sleeps ; Or of that endless Rest He thinks, that will him soon receive, In yonder realm so blest. XIV. I know not shall I enter now, I tremble at the door; Though many, many happy feet Tread the old homestead floor, To me 'tis empfy as if all Had left it ever more. It is not home as once it was, And will be never more; What goes out with our parents' lives Re-enters ne'er the door. The reaper. Death, has harvested The joys that once were mine; In sorrow artfl in loneliness I'm left to moan and pine. XV. Such is the way of this rude world, All tainted with decay; How lonesome is the old home now I will not, cannot, stay ! O were it not for that bright Home, That hope of heavenly rest, Life like a burden long ago Had on my spirit press'd ; But Faith my feet lights on the way To reach that country blest. XVI. There is a mansion beautiful, Tb' eternal Father-home; No wand'erer from that happy land j Is ever seen to roam ; No mother weeps for wayward child, : No father for her grieves; No sorrow-world is that like this Where every joy deceives. There Life Eternal conquers Death. And Heaven the victory gives. XVII. Ah! there we'll find what here is lost, And will fore'er possess, There live our dead, in light and love, And endless happiness. How oft I think upon that Rest, When weary, sau, with care; And wish 'twere only Jesus' will To bear me sooner there. But I shall bide my hour, and then, The summons I'll not rue, I'll gladly take the Saviour's hand And bid the world adieu ! < OM)i riO> OF THE SOUTH. I.etter from Gov. Perry, of South C'nro lina. The Terrible Parolyzation of the People—% How the South Costs (he Country a Hundred Millions, Instead of Adding a Hundred Millions to its Resources. The following letter, addressed by ex- Governor Perry, of South Carolina, to Capt. O. N. Butler, of that State, but now residing in this city, givs a graph ic and deplorablepictureof the present condition and future prospects of the great southern section of our country : GREENVILLE, S. C., Jan. 1!), 1868. O. A". Butler Esq.— My Dear Friend: j In your letter to my son you say that! the Northern peopleare not aware of! the true condition of the Southern ! States, and that you wish me to write ; something On this subject for publica tion. lam willing, as I always have been, to do anything and everything in my power to enlighten the North ern mind as to the frightful and ap palling condition of the South. But it does seem to me that I can say very little not already known, through the ' public press, to the whole reading com munity. It is well known to the world that ten of the Southern States have been stripped of every vestige of republican liberty, and placed by the wicked and unconstitutional legislation of a Radi cal Congress, under a military despot ism, for partisan purposes. It is e qually well known that negro conven tions have been ordered in all those States, for the purpose of establishing in them negro spreuiaey. In order to accomplish this, a very large portion of the most intelligent, virtuous and patriotic of the white race have been disfranchised, and are hereafter to be governed by their former slaves and unprincipled adventurers from the North! These facts are well known, and their consequences every intelli gent mind may well anticipate. When slavery was abolished in the Southern States, if the people had been let alone in their State legislation and restored to the Union, all would have been well. They would soon have recovered from their exhausted and crushed condition, and been once more a happy and prosperous people. They would have added hundreds of mil lions annually to the wealth of the republic, instead of costing it, as they now do, a hundred millions every year, through the freedmen's bureau and a standing army. But the unjust, un constitutional and suicidal legislation of Congress has paralyzed them for ever, I fear. The negro is no longer that industrious, useful and civil laborer which he once was, but an idle drone and pest to society. Inflated with his new and marvellous political impor tance, he has abandoned his former in dustrious habits and spends his time in attending public meetings and loy al league gatherings by day and by night. The whole race seem disposed to quit their work and resort to the towns and villages, where they may eke out an idle and wretched existence in pilfering and begging. The consequences are that our fields and plantations are uncultivated, the country pauperized, at the point of starvation, and tilled with every grade of crime. Not a day passes over our heads that we do not hear of some theft, house-burning, robbery, rape or murder. I will mention one or two instances out of thousands which might be enumerated : Five negro men, last week, in Darlington district, went, armed with guns, to a country store, robbed the store, killed the clerk, shot a woman in the house, and went to the dwelling of the owner and killed him. A short time sincea parcel of ne groes placed obstructions on the South Carolina railroad, which threw offa train of cars in the night time. Again, at another point on the same road, a parcel of negroes fired into the train, and came very near killing sev eral passengers. Last full, at Pickens court, seven or eight negroes were con victed of murder, and seventeen or eighteen others sent to the peniten tiary. Highway robbery, an offence VOL. 62.—WHOLE No. 5,430. which was scarcely ever heard of in South Carolina for years past, has be come a very common crime in the neighborhood of towns and villages. Theft and burglary are of constant oc currence. In the country it is einost impossible to raise hogs, sheep and cattle. A gentleman told me the other day that he had lost the last one of his sheep, forty in number, all stolen by the negroes. Another gentleman, who had been governor of the State, informed me that he had eighty-five hogs to kill last fall, and that they were all stolen by the negroes except seven. The support of so many prisoners and convicts in our jails and peniten tiary is becoming alarming. We shall not long be able to feed them; nor will the prisons contain them. The country is so much impoverished that it is difficult for the negroes to get em ployment, if they really wished to do so. The failure of the cotton crop throughout the United States, with the government tax" and low price of the staple, has rendered it impossible for the planters to continue their busi ness the present year. The difficulty, too, in getting the negroes to work du ring the past year has discouraged and disgusted a great many. A large cot ton crop was planted last spring, and a great effort was made by the planters to retrieve their fortunes and give em ployment to the negroes, but univer sal failure and bankruptcy have ensu ed. lam not able to state the falling off of the cotton crop this year, but the rice crop has fallen from one hun dred and thirty or forty thousand tierces to twelve thousand tierces. The present year every one will have, to devote his attention to the raising of a provision crop. He will not require so many laborers, and would not bea ble to feed them if he did. The negroes have nothing to live on the present year, and are unable to make crops by themselves. They will have tosteal or starve. This greatly discourages farm ing in the Southern Statesat this time. If you make a good crop of provisions, you have no security that it will not be stolen or burnt by the negroes. In regard to the political condition of the Southern States I am in deep des pair, and have no hope except in a re turning sense of justice on the part of the Northern people. The idea of pla cing the government of these States in the hands of negroes is prejiosterously absurd. None of them have property, and not one in five hundred can read or write. In the recent election for mem bers of a convention many of the ne groes had forgotten their names, and scarcely one iii a hundred could tell after the election for whom he voted. They were controlled blindly by the loyal leaugues. The tickets Were prin ted in Charleston, with a likeness of President Lincoln on them. There never has been before such a wide field opened for demagogues and un principled aspirants to office. The ne gro is the most credulous being in the world, and most easily imposed on by vile wretches who are disposed to pan der to his ignorance and passion. Em issaries from the North, white and back, have come here and prejudiced him against the white race. He has been told that unless he voted the Rad ical ticket he would be placed back in slavery, and that if he voted that ticket he would have lands and mules given him. In some instances the negroes actually brought with them bridles to take their mules home with. By military order in South Carolina, negroes are to sit on juries. In some of the districts of this State the negro pop ulation is so much larger than the white that they will compose almost the en tire juries. How it will be possible to administer justice, With such juries, in complicated cases, is more than I can tell. lam equally at a loss how the offices of the State are to be filled. The "iron clad oath" excludes from office all who are competent and worthy, This difficulty was foreseen by Gen. Sickles,.and he requested of Congress the removal of the oath. Gen. Meade has recently suggested the ! same thing in Georgia. It will be im possible for the negroes and the worth less whites to fill some of these offices, or give the security required by law. Property of all kinds, and especially real estate, has depreciated in value one half or two-thirds during the past year. Noone is disposed to purchase anything and foreign capital has been driven out or deterred from coming here for in vestment. Property sold by the sher | iff brings nothing. The marshall of this State told me the other day that he sold a plantation well improved, j containing two thousand acres, in Hor | ry district, at public auction, to the I highest bidder for five dollars. Mules brought only five dollars apiece. A great many persons are moving from the lower country, where there are so many negroes, and that section of the State is destined to become a wilderness. The same thing must oc cur in many portions of Mississippi and other States. A gentleman just returned from Mississippi tells me that lands, which rented last year for fourteen dollars per acre, were now of fered at two dollars per acre, and no one would take them. Unless there is a reaction at the North, and better legislation for the Southern States, they will be an incubus to the Union, utterly destructive of the whole republic. The present military force will have to be kept up to maintain peace between the two races, and there is no certainty of their ability to do this long. I have for some time thought that when the negrogovernmcots went into operation it would be impossible to preserve the peace of the country. A war of races must ensue, and it will be the most terrific war of extermina tion that ever desolated the face of the earth in any ageorcountry. I am, with great respect and esteem yours, truly, &c. B. F. PERKY. ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.—AT a festival party of old and young, the question was asked, which season[of life is the • most happy? After being freely'dis cussed by the guests, it was referred for answer to the host, upon whom was the burden of four score years. He asked if they had noticed a grove of trees before the dwelling, and said:— When the spring comes and in tho soft air the buds are breaking on the trees and they are covered with blos soms, I think, how beautiful is spring! And when the summer comes, and covers the trees with its foliage, and singing birds are among all the branches, I think, how beautiful is summer! When autumn loads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost, I think, how beautiful is autumn! And when it is neither foliage nor fruit, Ilook up, and through the leafless branches as 1 never could until now, I see the stars shine through. A clergyman was once sent for in the middle of the night by one of the la dies of his congregation. "Well, my poor woman," said he, so you are very ill, and require the consolations of re ligion? What can I do for you?" "No,'-' replied the old lady, "lam only nervous and can't sleep." "How can 1 help that?" asked the parson. "O! sir, you always put me to sleep so nice ly when I go to church, that I thought if you would only preach a little lor me—!" The parson made tracks. QUICK WITTKD.—A Down East agri culturist last summer required a num ber of reapers. Seven presented them selves, and all were engaged with one exception. The poor man thusomitted, said: "Master, won't you hire me ?" "No," said the farmer. "Why not?" "Because you are too little." "Too little!" exclaimed the astonish ed Irishman; "does your Honor reap your grain at the top?" What could farmer G do but roar with laughter, and send the little man to join his comrades in the field? A LIVERY stable keeper, named Spurr, would never let a horse go out without requesting the hirer not to drive fast. One day a young man call ed to get a turn-out to attenda funeral. "Certainly,'*' said Spurr, "but," he added, forgetting the solemn purpose for which the young man required the horse, "don't drive fast." "Why, just look ahere, old feller," said the some what excited young man, "I want you to understand that I shall keep up with the procession if it kills the horse." AN ACRE.—'Oh, dear!' yelled out an urchin who had just been suffering from an application of the birch: 'Oil my! they tell me about forty rods making a furlong, but I can tell a big ger story than that. Let 'em get such a plaguey licking' as I've had, and then they will And out that one rod makes a acher. TRUE FAITH.—Rev. John Newton once said: "A good old woman, a dear friend of mine, was asked upon her death-bed, if she was comfortable in her mind, "Very far from it," she answered. "Then you are not willing to die?" \Quite willing," said she. "If my Father chooses to put me to bed in the dark, I can trust Him." 'HUSBAND, I wish you could buy me some feathers." "Indeed, dear wife, you look better without them." "Oh, no. sir, you always rail me your little bird and how does a bird look without feathers?" A LADY asked a minister "if she might pay attention to dress and fash ion without being proud ?" "Madam," replied the minister, "whenever you see the tail of a fox out of a hole you may be sure the fox is there also." A YOUNG man by the name of John son has been arrested in Pittsburgh for perpetrating a new "dodge." He fastened bristles on the tail of a rat and sold him for a squirrel. A STINGY husband accounted for all the blame of the lawlessnessof his child ren in company, by saying his wife al ways "gave them their own way." "Poor things, its all I have to give them," was her prompt reply. AN Irishman who had Just landed said: "The first bit of mate I ever ate in thiscounthry was a roasted potato boiled yesterday. And if ye don't belave me, I can show it to ye, for I have it in my pocket." AN awkward man attempting to carve a goose, dropped it on .the floor. "There now 1" exclaimed his wife, "we've lost our dinner." "0 no, my dear!" answered he, "It's safe; I have got my foot upon it!" THE passing years drink a portion of the light from our eyes, and leave their traces on our cheeks, as birds, that drink at lakes, leave their footprints on the margin." WHAT'S the difference between a bootblack and a Freedmen's Bureau agent! One blacks the boots, the oth er boots the blacks. WHEN was Noah in America?— When he was on the Ark-and-saw. WHEN is a storm like a fish after a hook ? When it is going to abate.
