WHEN TOU'RE DOWN.
What legion of ''friends” always bless us,
When golden success lights our way !
Dow they smile as they But'tly address us,
So cordial, good hnmorcd and gay,
Dnt oh I when tbo sun of prosperity
Hath set—thon bow qnickly they frown,
And cry out 1* tone of severity,
••Kick the man, don’t yew see ho Is down!”
What though, when you knew not a sorrow,
Yonr heart was as open as day,
And your ‘•friends,” when they wanled to bor
row,
You obliged—and ne’er asked them to ‘pay.
What though not a soul you e'er slighted,
Ab you wandered about through the town,
Your •■friends” became very near sighted,
And don't seem to sec when you’re down
When you're “up” you are loudly exalted,
And traders all sing out your praiBO,
When you’re “down” you have greatly de
faulted,
And they “really don't fancy your ways.”
•‘Your style was “tip-top” when you’d money,
So sings every sucker and clown,
But now ’tis exceedingly funny,
Things are altered because “you are down.”
Oh give mo the heart that forever
Is free from the world's selfish rust,
And the soul whose high noble endonvor
Is to raise fallen man from the dust;
And when in adversity's ocean
A victim is likely to drown,
All hail to the friend whose devotion
Will lift up a man when lie’s “down.”
ARTEMUS WARD ON 8SHAKERS.
The Shakers is tho strangest religious sex
I ever met. I'd hcarn toll of ’em and I’d
seen 'em, with their broad brim’d hats and
long waistid ooats; but I’d never emu into
immejet eotitaok with ’em, and I’d sot ’em
down as lackin intellek, as I'd never seen ’em
to my Show—leastways, if they cum they was
disgised in white people's close, so I didn’t
1? n nw ’ o m
—But in the Spring of 18—, 1 got swamped
in tho exterior of New York State, ono dark
and stormy night, when the winds Bine pity
usly, and I was forced to tie up with the
Shakers.
I was toilin threw the mud, when in the
dim vistcr of the filter I observed the gleams
of a tallar candle. Tiein a hornet’s nest to
my olf boss’s tail to kinder encourage him, I
soon reached the place. 1 knockt at the door,
which it was opened unto mo by a tall, slick
faced, solum lookin individual, who turned
out to be a Elder.
“ Mr. Shaker,” sed I, “ You see before you
a Babe in the Woods, so to speak, and he axes
shelter of you,”
“ Yay,” sed tho Shaker, and he led the way
into the House, another Shaker bein sent to
put my horses and waggin under kiver.
A solum female, lookin somewhat like last
year's bean-pole stuck into n long meal bag,
cum in and asked me was I athurst and did I
hunger? To which I urbanely answered “a
few.” She went orf, and I endeavored to
opon a conversation with tho old man.
“Elder, I sped ?” sed I.
“ Yay,” ho sed.
“ Helth’s good, I reckon ? ”
“ Yay.”
“ What's tho wages of a Elder when he on
dorstands his biziness ; or do you devofe your
services gratuitous ?”
•* Yay.”
“ Stormy night, sir. ?”
“ Yay.”
“ If tho storm continues, there'll bo a moss
underfoot, hay?”
“ Yay.”
“It's oupleasant when there’s a mess un
dorfoot ?”
“ Yay.”
“ If I may be so bold, kind sir, what’s the
price of that pecoolo kind of weskit you wear,
incloodin in trimmins ?"
“ Yay.”
I pawsed a minit, and then, thinkin’ I’d be
faseshus with him and sec how that would go,
I slapt him on the shoulder, burst into aharty
larf, nnd told him that as a yayer he had no
livin ekal
He jumped up as if bihn water had been
squirted into his cars, groaned, rolled his eyes
np tords the sealin, and said “ You're a roan
of sin ?” lie then walkt out of the room.
Jest then the female in the meal bag stuck
her hod into the room, and stafid that refresh
ments awaited tho weary traveler, and I said if
it was vittels she ment the weary traveler was
agreeable,#and I follered her into the next
room.
I sot down to the table, and the female in
the meal bag pored out some tea. She sed
nothin, and for five minutes the only live
thing in that room was an old wooden clock,
which tiekt in a subdued and bashful manner
in the corner. This dethly stillness made me
oneasy, and I determined to talk to the female
or bust. So sez I, “marriage is agin your
rule, I bleeve. marm?”
“ Yay."
“ The sexes liv strictly apart, I spect!”
“ Yay.”
“It’s kinder singler,” sez I, puttin on my
most sweetest look and speakin in a winnin
voice, “ that so fair a made as thou never got
hitched to some likely feller." [X, Ii.—She
was upwards of forty, and homely as a stump
fence, but I thawt I'd tickil her.]
“I don't like men "’ she sed, very short.
“ Wall, I dunno,” sez I, “ they are a farth
er important part of the populashun. I don't
scarcely sec how we could git along without
’em.”
“ Us poor wimnin folks would git along a
great deal better if there were no men!”
“ You'll excoos mo, marm, but I don’t think
that air would work. It wouldn’t be reg
ler.”
“ I’m afraid of men,” she sed.
“ That’s onnecessary, warm.—You ain't ir
no danger. Don’t you fret yourself ou that
pint.”
“ Here weTe shot out from the *'pfut world
Here all is peas. Here we air brothers and
■ Jiijwmu—JMU. J .aJuttii'i. i win
sisters. Wo don’t marry and konsckwently
wo hove no domestic difficulties. Husbans
don’t n boo so their wives—wives don’t worrit
their husbans. There’s no children hero to
worrit us. Nothin to worrit, us here. There's
uo wicked matrimony here. Would thou like '
to bo a Shaker ?”
“ No,” sex I, ‘‘It ain't my stile.”
*1 had nosy histed in nsbrg a loadofpervish
nns as I could carry comfortably, and loaning
back in my cheer, commcnst pickin my teeth
with a fork. The female went ont leaving mo
nil alone with the clock. 1 hadn’t sot thevc
long before the Elder poked his hod in at the
door. “You’re a man of sin!” he sed, and
groaned and went away.
Direckly (her cum in two young Shakcress
es, as putty and slick lookin gals as 1 ever
met. It is troo they was drest in meal bags
like the old one I’d met previsly, and their
shiny, silky liar was hid from sight by long
white caps, sicli as I spose female Josts wear,
but their eyes sparkled like diminds, their
cheeks was like roses, and they was charm in
cnufT to moke a man throw stuns at his grand
mother, if they axed him to. They commenst
clenvin away the dishes, cast in shy' glances at
me all tho time. I got excited. I forgot
Betsy Jane in ray rapter, and sez I, “ my pret
ty dears, how air you?”
“ We air well,” they solumly sed.
“ Wiiar's the old man ?” sed I in a soft I
voice.
“ Of whom dost thou speak—-Brother
Uriah ?”
“ I mean the gay and festiv cuss who calls
me a man of sin. Shouldn’t wonder if his
name was Uriah.”
“ He has retired.”
“Wall, my pretty dears,” sez I, “let's hav
some fun. Let’s play puss in the corner.
What say ?”
“ Air you a Shaker sir?” they asked.
*• Wall, my pretty dears, I haven’t arrayed
my proud form in a weskit yit; but if they
was all like you perhaps I’d jine ’em. As it
is, I am a Shaker protempovary.”
They was full of fun- I seed that at fust,
only they was a lectlc skeevy. I tawt ’em
.. • zl.-.1 _ * T. It?_.. .1_
had a nice time, keepin quiet, of course so the
old man shouldn’t hear. When we broke up,
sez 1, “ My pretty dears, ear I go you hav no
objections, hav you, to a innersont kiss at
partin ?”
“Yay,” they sed, and I yay'd.
I wont up stairs to bed. I spose I’d been
snoozin half a hour when I was woke up by a
noise at the door. I sot up in bed, leanin on
my elbers and rubbin iny eyes, and saw the
follerin picter: The Elder stood in the door
way, with a taller candle in his hand. Tic
hadn't no wearin appeerel on except his night
close, which fluttered in the breeze like a Se
ceshun flag. lie sed, “ You’re a man of sin !” j
then groaned and went away.
I went to sleep again, and drempt of runnin
off with the pretty little Shakeress, mounted
on my Californy Bar. I tbawt the Bar insist
ed on steerin strafe for my doorway in Bal
dinsvillc, and that Betsy Jane cum out and gn
us a warm rccepshun with a panful of Bilin
water. I was woke up arly by the Elder. He
sed refreshments was reddy for me down
stairs. Then sayin I was a man of sin, he
went groanin away.
As 1 was goin threw the entry to the room
where the vittels was, I cunt across the Elder
and the old femail I’d met the night before,
and what dv’e spose they was up to ? JIuggin
and kissin like young lovers in their gushing
est state, Sez I “My Shaker friends, I reckon
you’d better suspend the rules, and git mar
ried !”
“ Yon must cxcoos Brother Uriah,” said the
femail: “ he’s subject to fits and hain’t got
uo command of hisselfwhen lie’s into’em.”
“ Sartainly,” sez I, “ l,vo been took that
way myself frequent.”
“ You’re.n man of sin ’’’ said the Elder.
Arter breakfast my little Shaker friends
cum in again to clear away the dishes.
“ My pretty dears,” sez I, “ shall we yay
again ?”
“Nay,” they sed, and I nay'd.
The Shakers axed me to go to ikoir meetin,
as they was to have services that mornin, so 1
put on a clean biled rag and went. The meet
m house was as neat as a pin. The floor was
as white as chalk and smooth as glass. The
Shakers was all on hand, in clean weskits and
> x...1 ... Ik. n,,,... i;ir„ mjllino.
utvu.1 1 v.- - - O j
(ery companies, the mails on one side of the j
room and tlie femails on tho tether. They '
commenst clappin their hands and singin and j
danein. They danced kinder slow at fust,
but as they got warmed up they shaved it
down very brisk, I toll you. Elder Uriah, in
; partieler, exluberated a right smart chance of
sprvnes3 in his legs, considerin his time of
life, and ns he cum a double shufile near
j 1
where I sot, I rewarded him with a approvm
| smile and sed : “Hunky boy! Go it, my gay
J and festiv cuss ?”
“ You're a man of sin I” he sed, continner
in his shuffle.
The Sperret, as they called it, then moved a
j short fat Shaker to say a few remarks, He
1 sed they was Shakers and all wasekal. They
was the purest and scleckest people on the
: ycarth. Other people was sinful as they i
! could be, but Shakers was oil right. Shakers
was all goin ker slap to the Promised Land,
and nobody want goin to stand at the gate to
bar ’em out, if they did they'd get run over.
The Shakers then danced and sung again,
and arter they was threw, one of them axed
me what 1 thawt of it.
Sez I, “ What duz it signerfy ?”
“ What *” sez he.
“Why tiiis jumpin’ up and singin' ? This
long weskit bi/.uess, and this antimatrimony
idee ' My friends, you air neat and tidy.
Your land is flowin’ with milk and honey
i Your brooms is fine, and-your apples sass is ;
! honest. When a man buys a kag of apple ,
sass of you he don't tiud a grate many shavins
under a lew layers of sass—a little game, I'm j
sorry to say, sum of my New Eliglan ancestors ;
used to practise. Your gurding seeds is fine, '
and ef I should sow’ era on the rock of Gibral
ler. problv. 1 should raise a good mess of
garding snss You air honest iu your dealin*.
i..TjMKTWTfTn "■TT"lii,TI AH’.T*
You air qnict nnd don’t disturb nobody. For
nil this I givo you credit. But your religion
is small pertaters T must say. You mope away
your lives here in single rctchcdncss, and as
you air all by yourselves, nothing ever conflicks
with your pecoolicr ideas, except when human
nnlur busts out among yor, as I understand)
she sometimes do. (I give Uriah a sly wink
hear, which made the old fellow squirm liken
speared eel). Yon wear long weskits and long
faces, and lead a gloomy lifo indeed. No chil
dren’s prattlo is ever hearn around y onr hcarth
st'.ms—yon aro in a dr.airy fog all the time,
and you treat the jolly sunshino of lifo as
thought it was a thief, driven it from your
doors by them weskits, and meal bags, nnd
pecoolar noshuns of yourn. The gals among
you, some of which arc as slick pieces of
caliker as I ever sot eyes on, air syin to place
their beds agin weskits, which kiver honest,
manly harts, while yon all fool yourselves
with the idee that they air fulfillin their mishiin
here, and air contented. Here you air, all pend
up by yourselves, talkin about the sins ot the
world you don’t know nothin of. Meanwhile
said world continuers to resolve round on her
own axeltree onct in every twenty-four hours,
subjeck to the Constitution of the United
States, and is a very pleasant place of resi- j
dcncc. It's a unnatral, onrcasonable and dis
mal lifo you’re leadin here. So it strikes me.
Mr Shaker friends, l now bid you a welcome
adoo. You have treated me excecdin well.
Thank you kindly, one and all!”
“A base exhibitor of depraved monkeys and
ouprinciplcd wax works!” said Uriah.
“Hello, Uriah,” sez I, “I'd almost forgot, you.
Wall, look out for them fits of yourn. and don't
catch cold and die in the flour of your youth
and beauty.”
And I resoomed my jerney.

Cotton Picking--A Valuable Invention.
The greatest difficulty in the raising of cot - j
ton is the process of gathering it. The planter |
begins to pick his crop early in September, j
sometimes much later. During the entire !
season the whole force is engaged in picking j
all the time, going over the field at least, three j
times. I lus is made necessary by tlie tact
that the cotton ripens at different periods.
The gathering of a cotton crop requires
three times as many as its cultivation. It is
tho hardest and most disagreeable work of the
plantation ; and tho negro would rather per
form any other labor. During the picking
season extra hands are hired at very high
prices. Large portions of the crop are an
nually lost, because it. cannot be secured
during the picking season.
The difficulties are very greatly aggravated
by the present condition of labor at, the South.
Thousand of additional acres would be planted, j
this year, if the planter did not fear losing '
his crop, for want of power to gather it. To ;
meet this emergency, a cotton picking ma
chine has been invented, which will do the
work of twenty men, and dispense with the
labor of extra hands. The inventor claims
that it will gather cotton at distances ranging
from six inches to six feet, that it will gather
it as clean as the most export hand ; taking
the cotton only from the bolls which are fully
ripe and well open ; leaving the undeveloped
pods uninjured, and uot harming the plant.
Of course, the difficulties infinitely exceed
those attending the mowing and reaping ma
chine. But these difficulties have been over
come by the ingenuity of a New England man ; |
and the most .skillful experts of Masssachu- :
setts pronounce the invention a success. If j
this proves true, the machine will prove more i
effectual than the cotton gin in stimulating j
the production of this great staple The com- :
meree of the world will be once more revolu
tionized by the enormous increase of the cot- 1
ton crop ; and this timely invention will be of j
incalculable value, both to its proprietors and .
to the country. The model is now in this city, ;
under the charge of Gen. Hunt, a loyal Ten-j
nesseean ; and it will be offered to the capital
ists of this vicinity. If it answers the expec
tations of those who have seen It, our manu
facturers will be fortunate in securing the
property in this great, invention.—[Boston

Ben. Beast Bottled Butler.—Under tho
above captain the LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Demo
crat, says.
At last this great American thief and blun
dering murderer has resigned and is no more i
. ..„ i... ,1:--l n_* I
tin uitivu in i.vvv., '■'*“***
has bottled him up forever, and in a few words
proved the truth of our oft expressed opinion
of this natural thief, coward and military ass.
vVhat he wilt do now is more than we know
Most likely go to shop-lifting, grave robbing
or insulting women. At heart a traitor by:
instinct a tbief—by education a robber—Ben
iamin F. Butler has won a name for infainv, i
J I
venality and incompeteucy second to nono in
(Tic world. He was one of the peculiar tools
of Lincoln and the Republican party, and has
been a nightmare on the American people for
the past five years. An original secessionist,
he never had a patriotic motive in his heart.
He never deserved a position in the army—lie
never fought a battle—ho never won a victory
—he never lost an opportunity 10 steal from
and plunder the defenseless—he never made
the Union flag other than a signal to mark the ,
depository of stolen goods, and should have ;
been dismissed from the army long ago.
The greatest curse a mother could put on a ,
child would be to with it the heart and attri
butes of Ren. Rattier, whose sun has at last,
sunk in the deepest infamy, and whose etern-:
ify we trust will be spent t'n the home of hit cm- ,
ploycr. Thief, rober, abolition patriot, mil. j
itary blunderer, woman iusulter, grave-yard
robber, soldier murderer, egotistical ass, pet ■
Republicanism, child of the devil, cock-eyed !
abortion of humanity, bottled braggadocio
played-out politician, dishonored general and I
traitorous citizen —farewell.
Thus one by one of the political generals
and causes of our national troubles—one by '
one the cotton thieving, plundering scoundrels
who have strutted their brief hour on the:
bloody stage, drop into infamy here, as we
trust they will tn bell thereafter. Bottled
