THE LAST HOG OF AUTUMN.
’Tin the last ho? of Autumn,
Left squealing alone ;
All his grunting companions
Are butchered ami gone j
No pig of iris kindred,
No poilcer is uigh.
To help empty the swill-trough.
Or share in his sty.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To starve in the pen,
Since thy mates are ail pork now,
Die shalt thou with them.
Then thus do I offer
The knife to thy throat
And thou shalt be pickled,
Like every dead shout.
And may I he present
When thou art the treat.
For ham, rouse or sausages,
Who would not eat?
When people are hungry,
And beef can’t be had, '
For calming the appetite
Pork is hot bad.

-When Mr. Jefferson was asked respect

••It is known to God and myself. Its evidence
before the world is to be known in my life ; if
that has been honest and dutiful to society, (he
religion which has regulated it eannot be a
bad one.
-What arc tire aims, which are at the
same time duties? They are the perfecting of
ourselves, the happiness of others.
-Men resemble the gods in nothing so
much as i s doing good to their fellow creatures.
-The two most precious things this side
the grave are our reputation and Our life.
But is tobe lamented that the most contempti

NEW PATENT.
TTIhe undersigned having procured (he exclu
X give right of manufacturing and . idling to
the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the
late improvemen! in plows, (known as Har
ris’twelve pointed shovel and turning plow.)
would inform the planters of ..lid county that
lie is prepared to receive and fill all orders,
which will be done in regular turn, notifying
the persdti 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 scientilie principles, to
suit the wants qfthi: cotton growing commu
nity, amt five minutes examination will satisfy
the most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,
and iu the end,‘ tho,cheapest plow ever of
fered.
They'will be put up at Atlanta. Prairie
county, under the superintendence of an ex
perienced worn man and no means or ti:n will
be spared in making them none and hi ' ble.
The advantages of ihis over all other jdows
to the fanner is, (rh ’npne«s, time saved in go
ing to the shop, time saved in changing plows
and the smith's hill. In this you have lour
•distinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
stitute in either.) which von can change at
.. 1_«... . . . v <vl li
tool being required but your clevis pin; first,
you have a small shovel, suited for nil ordi
nary purposes of tliat tool, by adding one
mould, either right or left, you have a good
turning half shovel for ridging and hilling ami
place a cutter before it and you have an excel
lent new-ground plow; ir. the third place, pul
on both moulds and you have a large shovel,
perfectly suited to breaking urt the middles
of cotton rows; anil fourth, by reversing th
moulds of the large shovel, you have a goody
cotton sweep, all four working better than you
can get any common smith tomake'61 wrought
irou. In addition you have, by adjusting the
point, (which is made of the best of wrought
plow steel.) live extra poults and eleven extra
sharpenings, over other plow?, which is said,
by some of the most prominent planters in
North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
crops; and all this for $d 50-100, without
cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
these areshop prices. 1 will send them to
Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lo’ of 2u
for S3 per lot or to Dcs Arc, at $0 per lot.
Terms iuvariubly ca-h on delivery of
the plow. C. A. HARRIS.

A T T B1 IV T IO N!
A COTTON GIN FEEDER that will says
the labor of a hand at every Cotton Gill
to which it may be attached, thus dispensing
with feeding by hand, (a very injurious prac
tice to the close attendant.) is certainly a desi
rable object. Besides which, the Feeder will
remove a large portion of the dust, dirt, hulls,
etc., from the cotton, before it enters the gin,
thus improving the quality and ‘‘sample” of
the cotton, that will be an important point. 1
ciaim-that my
Eclipse C'oUou <«in Feeder
will accomplish the above results. 1 have Let
ters Patent for it, bearing date October 13,
1857.
I am willing to put up one of them in a
neighborhood, that planters may see for them
selves whether it will benefit them or not.
One of them is now on exhibition at the
Lard-Oil, Soap and Candle Factory of J- P.
Prescott & Co., in Memphis, (in front of Com
mercial Hotel,) where any one can see it put
iu operation. Planters visiting Memphis are
earnestly requested to call as above direct*.,
and investigate its merits.
