Make Yonr Mark.
BY T>AV!T> pABKr.ll.
In the quarries should you toil,
Make your mark:
Do you delve upon the soil,
Make your mark :
In whatever path you go,
In whatever place you stand,
Moving swift or moving slow.
With a firm and honest hand,
Make your mark.
Should opponents hedge your way,
■Make yoyr mark :
Work by night or work by day,
Make your mark :
Struggle manfully and well,
Let no obstacles oppo-e ;
None, right-shielded, ever fell
By the weapon of his foes:
Make your mark.
.What though born a peasant’s son,
Make your mark:
Good by poor men can be done,
Make your mark :
Peasant’s garbs may warm the cold,
Peasant’s words may calm a fear )
Better far than hoarding gold
Is the drying of a tear :
Make your mark.
Life is fleeting as a shade,
Make your mark :
Marks of some kind must be made,
Make you mark :
Make it while the arm Is strong,
In the golden hours of youth :
Never, qever make it wrong ;
Make it with the s’amp of truth :
Make your mark.
Had him There.—A writer in the Mo
bile Tribune tells the following:
For many years Moses, a negro, was a
servant at the University of Alabama,
and waited on the students very faithfully.
He was, however, a great hypocrite, and
was Jon that account commonly called
“Preach,” among the boys. One day he
was passing a crowd students, when
one of them, out of mischief,called to him
and said:
"I say. Preach, what are you going to
do when the devil gets you?”
“ Wait on de students," was the ready
reply.

NEW PATENT. ;
The undersigned having procured the exclu- '
sive right of manufacturing ami selling to
the citiaeus of Prairie eeinlv Arkansas, the
late improvement i:i plows, (known as Har
ris’twelve pointed shovel and turning plow.) :
would inform the planters of said county tint |
he is prepared to receive arid fill all orders, J 1
which will be done in regular trim, notifying !
thepersou ordering, as soon as ready. ;
This is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
but was gotten up in the South by an expe
rienced workman, on scientific principles, to
suit the wants of the cotton grow: :ig coir.mu- 1
nitv. and five minutes examination will satisfy j *
the most credulous, that it is the neatest, best, !
and in the end, the cheapest plow ever ot- f
fared.
They will be pat up at Atlanta, Prairie j „
county, under the superintendence of an ex- a
perienced wo.-Kinan and no means or lime will '
be ‘pared m making them nest and durable. I
The advantages of this over all other plow- ]:
to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- I
ing to the shop, time saved in changing plows a
and the smith’s bill. In this vcyi have four "
distinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub- o
stitute ,n either.) which yon can change at ti
pleasure ,n any part of your farm, no other i<
tool being lequired but your clevis pin; first,
you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi- e
narv purposes of that tool, by adding one
mould, either right or left, you have a good
turning half shovel for ridging and hilling and I
place a cutter before it and you have an excel- I
lent new-ground plow; in the third place, put i I
on both moulds and you have a large shovel,
perfectly suited to breaking out the middles
of cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good
cotton sweep, all four working better than you '
can get any common smith to make of wrought
iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
point, (which is made of the best of wrought I
plow steel,)five extra poiivsand eleven extra
sharpenings. over other plows, which is said,
by some of the most piorabaent planters in
North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
crops; and all tlrfg for sfi 50-100, without
cutter, or $V 50-100 with cutter attached;
these are shop prices. I will send them to
Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
for S3 per lot or to Des Arc, at $0 per lot.
..W Terms invariably cash on delivery of I
the plow. ‘ C. A. HARRIS.
