WHEN MARY WAS A LA SSIE.
The maple trees are Hinged with red,
The birch with golden yellow ; ;
And high above the ; orchard wall i
I Hung apples rich and mellow :
j And that's the way through yonder lane
i That looks so still and grassy,
The way I took one;8unday eye, ,
Vq When Mary was a lassie. v
j You'd hardly think that'patient face, .
That looks so thin and laded,
; Was once the very sweetest one
f That avet bonnet shaded :.
But when I went through yonder lane,
That looks so still and grassy,
Those eyes were bright, those cheeks were fair.
! when Mary was a lassie.
But many a tender sorrow,
j And many a patient care; ' -f
Have made those furrows on the face
That used to be so fair, j
i Four times to yonder churchyard,
Through the lane, so still and grassy, .
We're born and laid away onr dead,
I Since Mary was lassie;
I: - : - -UK ..'.;. : " ' -
. And so you see I've erown to love
; The wrinkles more than rose ; v
(Earth's winter flowers are sweeter far
1 Than all spring's dewy posies ;
They'll carry; us through yonder lane
That looks so still and grassy, r

' I Galveston; Texas, Feb. 9, 18701
i Editoii Post : The . year 1870 opens
upon Texas with prospects, political, social,
aid agricultural, altogether brilliant ; such
as I imagine, attach) to but few States of the
.South. , The first-rate crops of last year have
left the farmers of the interior with abund
ant supplies with which to commence and
prosecute this year's operations ; to feed
their4 teams in the work season; themselves
! , also ; whilst the great quantities of the fleecy
staple produced ha put money into almost
4". every man's pockej. Then . with the, ap
" praach of civil government wej may reasona
bly expect an improvement in social condi
qtion ; which, since the late war, has been
, i bad enough, God knows. Since
result the knife and; the bullet of
sin have islain over one thousand
the great
the assas
persons in
i Texas; the highways have been blockaded
i by i robbers; murderers infested the finest
counties j and the yery worst elements 'of
Ai.humk'n society havejbeen rampant, if not as-
Wendant. But now,iwhen all the ponderous
machinery of the State government is put,
" to work,all good men. hope for the social
prerogative of Texas from the crown of her
; head to the soles oti her feet, if necessary.
, Some general systpm of education will
doubtless be inaugurated, and the healthful
: influences of knowledge" be. brought to play
upon the! deplorable ignorance of the masses
fiere' - ''
I ) Politically we, hstve .much t hope for ;
I niuch upbn which ;to congratulate ourselves.
The Republican party, the only party in
Texas that has a particle of sympathy with
the National Government;,upheld and saved
from ruin by the vote of the once despised
colored iman, is totally remnant ; with its
numerous enemies junder its foot, if it will
only keep them so.t I say the Republicans
arc in power where they were least expected
to retainlpower ; ancl, if true to themselves,
we may expe9t the
moral prosperty to
Civil gqvernment

commence for Texas.

! There is much comment as to what course
Genj Dayis will pursue in the Gubernatorial
chair pfr Texas, Hiis own party expect him
to be true to those; who elected him ; but
not a few conservatives (secesh) have the
j cheek to I say the General will come over to
thera partly at leasi. It Gen. Davis can be
bought, he will 1 now most assuredly be
bought ; for the ring that first bought, then
tried to force Hamilton on the' people, doubt

February is frequently an excellent month
for seeding 1 down to clover and orchard
grass in fields that are in winter grain.
These seeds may either be sowed on the
snow if there shoul I happen to be ! any
or if the frost is out of the ground, the seed
may be sown among the gram and lightly
harrowed in following immediately with
the roller. Sow not less than 12 lbs. of clo
ver and a bushel of orchard .grass to the
acre. I
A good horseman will always drive with
a tight rein just so tight1 that the animal
will feel a gentle pressure on the bit, and
if the check-rein is not too tight, thi$ is the
best safeguard against stumbling. Th6 car
riage horse is oiten cruelly punished by the
unmerciful tightness of the check-rein ; his
mouth. becomes callous by the constant hard
pressuse of the bit, and looses its sensitive
ness, to the gentle pressure of the drivmg-
rein i !
Every owner of land can have a iulLsup
ply of asparagus as well as not. Get plants
a year old, or get seed and sow in a small
bed and raise plants to set next year. Dig
a trench two spades, wide and two deep.

manure. Put in the top soil. Set the
plants so that they will be about four inches
below the surface. when the trench is pulled
up. Give a top dressing of manure. Set
the plants eighteen inches apart'. Two rows
200 feet long would give abundance for a
large family daily from and after the third
year from planting. Give a top dressing of
manure every fall, and every spring add a
sprinkling of salt. Pour on your refuse
