THE QUAKER'S DAUGHTER.
A STORY OF OLD SALEM,

The annals Of the year 1868 will ever
present blot on the historic pages OF New
England, and the lifted veil discloses tu-
ry Of religious intolerance, and violence
Of persecution, which daIkly stains the
character Of those who, in other respects,
merit our highest encomums.
twas during the popular fury in New
England against the Quukers, that the oc-
currences which am about 10 rela!e took
place. Before a small, unpOinted house in
Salem, on beautiful summer revening, sat
an old man and fair girl, his daughter
Their faces but lily concealed the anxiety
of their hearts, and listener might easily
have seen that their fearful forebodings
were not unlounded.
"Verily," said the old man after paUse
in the conversation, during which he had
appeared to be engaged in inward prayers
"Very the hand of persecution is heavy
upon us. Surely it was the fear of the ten.
der mercies of the wicked in this place,
that caused my own wife, Rebecca, to go
down to the grave, ere yet the grasshops
per had become a burden as it has to me.
And now, poor William, what will become
of him! Twice has he suffered the cruel
sentence of an unrighteous law for visiting
you, my daughter, pray God that he
may no: have the temerity to return"
"AmenI" with blanched cheeks and tearA
full eyes calculated the maiden. Her anx-
ious attitude-her clasped hands, all told a
tale of deep affection. TO William HorseA
ly had her youthful faith been plighted,
while yet she was In her native England,
and the extent of his affection may be inn
agned, when 1t is remembered that twice,
as the reader has already been informed,
he had been publicly whipped for ventur'
ing within the precincts Of that town from
which he had been banished. The penalty
for the third offence was death, and yet in
spite Of the danger, he had dared week af.
ter week to visit her whom he lovedI and
her affectionate demonstrates, only serv-
ed to heighten his passion for one who, IN
her love for another, thought not Of herself.
Long and anxious did the father and
daughter converse about their future pros.
poets. They could not suppose that known
as they were 10 be Quakcrs, they could long

AGRICULTURAL.

The farmerwill be busy, this month, se.
curing his tall crop, which should be wei
performed, and in season; potatoes buried
early should be protected from the effects Of
the warm, damp, aud confined air, by
means OF hole in the topof the heap; but
on the approach OF cold weather, this mus
be stopped. Cider making will now occu.
py some OF your time. You should plow as
much as possible before winter, fall soils
are better for being exposed to the frost) for
early spring crops. Hogs should be regu-
lary fed, and the feeding places kept clean
and well Uttered: one bushel OF corn, fed
in this month, will iatten them more than
two in December. Pumpkins should Le
gathered and housed.
The last of this month you will gather
your apples, and carefully pack them in
barrels for winter use, such as you do not
wish to bury in the earth. Towards the
end of this month, such fruit and ornamen-
tai trees as have shed their leaves, may be
transpanted; it is hoped that none will o.
nit to plant fruit and ornamental trees a.
bout their dwellings, and other suitable pla-
cess it will render home more pleasant,
healthy, and agreeable.
Begin to take up potatoes, carrots, tur-
nips, beets, and parsnips; to transplant BIZ
ennial and perennial plants, moist wealth

FARMING TO SOME PURPOSE.

| ran MIMI ~ OOhE fChfOOE'
We have been struck with the effect Of
good farming, IN a case brought to our no.
tice, that We have taken down the facts for
the public benefit, and with hope that the
example will exCite emulation, and induce
others to make similar experiments,
A farm at the head Of the Opequon,
known as Mr.. Neis farm had been rent
ed out for many years, nearly half centu-
ry perhaps, and was oveTun with thistIes
and brers that the tenants could scarcely
make the rent. For the last ten years, it
had produced an average not exceeding
six bushels 10 the acre. In this impover-
ished state, it was taken in hand to be cul-
tivated by Mr.. George Latshaw, OF Cum
berland county, Pennsylvania. Mr.. Lat
shaw began by moving down the brers
and thistIes, and pIowed the land eight in
Ches deep. The neightors told him thathe
could not produce any thing, but his labor
was awarded by yield of thirty-two oush-
els Of corn to the acre. This he attributes
to the deep pIowing and careful cultiva-
ton. A pretty good commencement, it
must be allowed,
Mr., Latshaw then plowed his wheat
ground in the months of July and August,
eight inches deep, giving it the second
blowing about the middle of September,
and narrowed in his seed. This method of
working the land, gave it body and mOs-
ture-dnd upon seventy acres, thus titled,
he has averaged twenty bushels of wheat
to the acre. By deep blowing, and culti-
vaton in the early part Of the season, the
troublesome opof brers and thstIes has
been entirely removed, and the eXtraordi-
nary result above named has been attained
and this without clover and MANURE
Mr.. Latshaw considers the valley lands e.
quail to those o. Pennsylvania, and gener-
Any wanting little else than thorough cul-
tivation, Clover and manure will come III
play as valuable auxiaries, but work, jul
dicious work, he considers the first impor-
tant movement.
This case has afforded us paragraph.
We present it asa matter for the grave COLI
sideraton of our farmers. If such results
can he attained by proper exertion, why
should Virginia be permitted to sink IN her
agricultural character! Why should men
seek homes in the west, when all the jus.
rewards of industry can be attained in this
delightful valley! Let us wake upset
the coulter deep, at proper seasons; and Ies

brought FORTH as they can be, by The vi0 or

OUR COUNTRY,

Hail to thee, lovely country!
The young, the brave, the free;
What heat Of true-born child of thine,
Beats not with pride for thee!
Thine are the unshO.n mountains,
And thine the sweeping streams,
The blllowy and the shoreIess plains,
Whose. soil exhau8tless leenIs!
Far DER the world of waters,
From Europe's broken chain,
Freedom wandering exile fled,
To found nobler reign.
The western sun she followed,
To this her chosen ground,
Where tyrant never planted foot,
And God alone is found!
Bright flower among the nations!
Wild blossom half disclosed,
Yet fairer in thy opening bud,
Than with fall bloom exposed;
The glory Of thy forests,
Can ancient realms outsbine!
The pride Of art let others boast,
But nature lest is thine!
Thy waters need no minstrel
To sound thy mighty name;
Niagara is herald trum
More worthy Of thy fame.
Far flow thy swelling rivers,
Wide roll thy spreading seas;
The burthen steeds of endless wealth,
The silver chains Of peace.
Thy people need no monarch,
No sceptred man Of straw
Their rulers are their servants all,
The treeman's King is law.
They boast no naughty title,
From ages gone before;
Yetknow, and proudly know their siresi
Oh! need they seek for more!
Thine is the nohlest charter
By wisdom ever penn'd,
And what thy sages could achieve,
Thy soldiers can defend:
BY this the humbest yeoman,
Released from every ban,
May lift to Heaven his honest front,
And feel himself man!
Thine are the generous fathers.
Who, claiming but grave,
The soul Of freedom and her heirs,
A mighty freehold gave!
The star-iliumined record
Of trial deeds sublime,
WiIlguide and cheer the struggling free
Throughout the rout Of time.
Thine is the youthful navy,
Thai in d night arose,
And Numbered thro' the sounding seas
Defiance 10 its foes:
Wherever blows the breeze,
At home, throughout the world,
Her canvass flaps its daring wings,
Her banner is unturled.
Thine is the glorious Union,
That like the solar sway,
Binds rowing stars Of various clime
In one harmonious play,
Wheel within wheel revolving
The vast machine sublime
Rolls on, the model of the free,
The wonder of the time.
Fair group Of sister nations!
In holy friendship twined,
Still cherish with unbrokeH front
One heart, one voice, one mind:
God bless the sacred union
That made the many one,
And lead the sisters hand in hand,
Till thousand years are gone!

WHAT is A REVENUE TARIFF.

The lntelligencer says that the Tariff of 1912
is revenue tariff. because all the money raised
by it is applied to the purposes of the United
the tariff prohibited the admission of any foreign
manufactures except silk stulfs. and charged on
such articles duty of 200 per cent. and it the
money SO raised was applied 10 the purposes of
the United States Government, that trOuld be q
rererue tariff.
According to our ideas Of Revenue Tariff. that
term means a tariff in which the duties are laid
solely for The purpose Of raising rerenue, and
without any reference To protecting one manufac
turer or another, at the expense of the community
in general. 1t also includes, 10 our cotnprehen-
sion, the levyiug of all duties by ad paloren,
rates. The duty must be SD much per cent on
the uatue of the article imported. and if the
amount of revenue required render it necessary,
that rate may be so, rs. or 100 per cent No
duties in a rerenne tariff will ever be laid at so
much on pound ,Ueight If the article imported,
and that without any reference to the value of the
article. Nor will any article be assumed To he
worth certain price. (perhaps twenty times its
actual value,) and then taxed ut So much per
cent. on that assumed value. Every duty in
rcrenue tariff will DE LAID with the express view
aud intention of raising the greatest amount of
revenue, considered with reference to the wants
OF the Government, in the most equal the fairest,
and less oppressive manner; and, as we have be
tnre said, without any reference TO the protection
of any manufacture whatever
Such are our views of the question What is a
Revenue Tariff?
