TOUCHING INcrDENr.--There is a
farmer residing near "the gsp' of the
Blue mountains in this State, who had
been for many years an Incorporate
man. Some months ago. he was in
duced to sign the total abstinence
pledge. and in a very short time after
wards he united himself with the
Methodist Church. The rum seller
and his dependents were sorely dis
mayed at the extraordinary change
as they termed it, and set their wits
TO work 10 lure him back. The time
OF harvest having arrived, and the
farmer having many acres of wheat
TO cut, the rumites assembled with
their cradles in their hands, and de-
manded their accustomed allowance
of rum.
"Not a drop shall be given," firmly
replied the farmer.
"We will not cut your wheat with
out it. said the rumites.
Then ii shall rot in tie field, repli-
ed the farmer.
The faithful followers Of acoaol
now returned TO their respective
homes, (if homes they car be called)
and left the obstinate farmer 10 his
fate. His wheat began TO fall in the
stubble, yethe placed reliance in God,
and having commended himselfto his
Maker, retired to rest. Early in the
morning he was awakened from bis
slumber by a shout which seemed to
speak the very soul OF joy. He look
ed out and beheld a large number Of
men with cradles in their hands, the
foremost bearing a banner with the
words, "1'otal Abstinence inscribed
upon its ample folds.
"What a all this meant said
the farmer, gazing with asionishment
upon a scene which seemed rather
the work of magic than reality.
'ls'nt there a teetotaler somewhere
about these parts. who has 4 field of
grain to be cut!" enquired one of the
crowd.
"Yes," replied the farmer, II am
"VVeH we'pe come to cut it," was the
short response.
The farmer hurried down TO greet
his kindhearted visitors, who having
heard OF the circ instance. hid trav-
eled many miles to give him a 'help-
hand. He pointed to the heid-the
banner was created in the midst-lhe
men worked like good ,retotalers. and

Uses OF WAR.-The following,
from a recent number OF Black wood 5

were the grand improvers Of every

Germans; they cleared the cities of
streets loaded with nuisances Of all
kinds. and taught the natives 10 live
without the constant dread of peslI-

the Portuguese TO wash their clothes,
and the S~paniards 10 wash their hancs.
They proved to the German that his

Let simple fools, in homage kneet,
To gain one condescending smile
From her whose bosom cannot feel.

Still lutter round her beauty's blaze,
And spaniel like trot in her train
And strain their throats to yelP her praise.

The statements here made by Mr.. Ken
dali, if true, will 60 far in extenuation
Of the course of Col. Warfeld.
'Col. w. had been 4 resident OF
New Mexico, California and the
Rocky Mountains for several years;

pal objects. Whether the latter has
t,ansce nded the instructions given
him by Houston, we are unable to
say; but our op'nlon Is that he has not.
He is NO bandit, no murderer; but on
the contrary, is a young man OF gal
liant bearing. is a great tavorlte with
ali the American Santa Fe and Rocky
Mountain traders, and has not the
least inlentI n of interfering with
their ri.hts and property, even should
lie make Il decent upon the settle
menrs uf New Mexico. We our
selves d. not think he will be very

he may not stop 10 take an obser-
walton or reckon his latitude should
he come across them On the Caygua
or Plwnee hunting grounds-but he
viii invariably respect the property
of Americans, meet them where he
may. and will moreover confine his
operations as much as possible 10 the
territory Of Mexico. Let 1t be IN
derstood that we are far from giving
sanction 10 any acts of hostility Col.
Warfield may commit on the AmerI-
can side of the line; but we would
ask whether an officer OF any govern
ment would readily act differently un-
der the circumstances. We have
not 10 look far into the history OF
France. England or The United States

worse. and We doubt not that either
of the Two first mentioned countries
would make "high seas OF the i'm
mense western prarrieS at once would

else than high seas III best.
I'VE do not know that we have

seen several members of the family
