CHARLOTTE, N. C,
For the Democrat
The Lost JIate.
I now am like the lonesome ilove
That lost a cherished mate,
That soars aloft, from vale to vale,
Her sorrows to relate.
I've lost a loved and cherished wife,
And now must lirealenc
While none can tell ihe woes UM grief,
Or know the loss 1 mourn.
Thou art none, my precious jewel,
Thv kind ant! mentis soul has tied
To clime. where innoeerce and truth
Their grateful fragrance ever shed.
Why should I weop. lament or sigh,
Or wish her back airain ?
She's gone to Jesus Christ on high
With him in heaven to reign.
We'll nieet airain on bless'd shore,
Freed from the tempter's arts and wiles;
Where till! ol joy we'll part no more
From thy sweet lips and rosy smiles.
Remember friends, when you draw near,
And stand around her tomb.
While on her grave you drop a tear
She's in a happier home.
Sor.n will my sorrows all be o'er,
Then I can sweetly tell,
On Canaan's cairn and pleasant shore,
That all at last was well.

for a moment how much more work a hand can

j may be seen in every feature of our farming; look,
for instance, how much is generalv paid out by
our farmers for mules and hors-s, all of which
th.'v could raise themselves with one half the ex
pense at w hich they now obtain them. As an in
stance of the great loss we yearly sustain in this

Mil&lns Cows.
To insure the greatest yield ol milk from a cow, j
she should not only be weil fed and well tended,
but also well milked. Now it is not every man or
every maid, who can squeeze fluid from a cow's
udder, that is a good milker.
It is important, in the first place, that a cow's
bag should be clean. For this purpose, when the
1 1
animal is stabled as they are, or should be, during ;
me winter, on an larms, and throughout the year
uy many let the whole udder he washed with
! cold water, and immediately thoroughly dried with
t ni . ..... .
a mwei. me advantages ot th.s practice to the
health of the animal and the healthiness oi the
milk are great and manifest ; and in this way, too,
we escape the black sediment of which milk-buy- j
era so constantly complain, and which is nothing
else than small narticles rf manure, hn.ahfd frnm

washed clean, of necessity ; an operation ;
erally omitted by those who consider the
too gen-
mselves
neat and careful. The same process obviates,
too, the supposed necessity of moistening the teats
by milking a tine stream into the hands and wash
ing the teats therewith a tiiy practice followed
by almost all men and too many women.
The udder being now cooled and cleansed, we
are ready to begin milking. If the row he uvl!
trained she will now extend backwards her hind

only at times, a gentle reminder. But it i- a
singular fact that men who are kind in everv other
relation ol life, as husband, father, neighbor and
maeter are rough in their treatment of gentle
"bossy." Ii they say "hoist,'' it is in stentorian
tones ; and too generally the first intimation oi
iheir wishes is conveyed in a striking manner, by
the edge of a heavy milking stool. Now a con
siderable experience among the "miUcing mothers
ol the herd" has convinced us that harshness of

Mr. Craigc and Mr. Hunt.
Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.
Washington, May 22, 18f4.
Gentlemen : Your correspondent from Wash
ington does the Hon. liurton Craige, of North
Carolina, a wrong in slating that Mr. Hunt, of
Louisiana, applied to him the word falsehood with
out any explanation, The circumstances vere as
herein stated. Mr. Craige cailed Mr. Hunt to
order. Mr. Hunt expressed surprise. Mr. Craige
sad he called the genth mar. to order oecause ho
regarded him n faction ist. Mr. Hunt had nrevious-
ly denied in his place that ho was a factionist, and
. intimated thai he would not permit the term to be
j applied to him. His rejoinder to Mr. Craige was,
I the gentleman intended to ft 'igmatize. him ns a
fuctionist, then it was a falsehood.'1 If Mr. Craigo
J a'd intend to stigmatize ilr. Hunt ns n lactionist,
! 'hen the onus was upon Air. Hunt. If Mr. Craige
! did not intend a stigma, then the word falsehood

the advice ol Senator Johnson, of Arkansas, Gen
eral Lane, of Oregon, (ihe Marion of the army in
Mexico) and the Hon. Mr. Brooks of your State.
No triumph is claimed by the friends of Mr. Craige,
but his friends cannot permit him to be misrenre-
j sented at the bouth, w'nle be is battling for hrr
rights. He is sustained and the counsel of his
'rienda is endorsed by Buth rt Badger, Toombs,
j oieckenridgo, I'reston, Uoyd, Cliiigm'nn, and every
other prominent man ol the Democratic parly 'ti
Congress. The Ireesoilers profess to think d.f.

ber, by odds, iu Congress at lies lime, in either
branch of it, is the Hon. L. M. Kent from South
Carolina. Beautiful exlracis Irom the one or two
speeches he has made have gone Ihe rounds of
the pre.-s. The following, which has scarcely
ever heen surpassed on the senate floor for elo-
quence ot the eulogy and the beauty of simile, is
cue of the several single passages, which have
