MI. M. btSOWN lntefposed TO inquire OF the
gentleman whether the return swere all in as he un-
derstood, from remark Of the gentleman, that this
might not be the case in regard to them all. ..
Mr.. HAMLlN replied that he could only say
that there was definite information before the
commnte, although it had been sought by various
members oft from both gentlemen, as to how ma
ny counties there in Florida or how many pre-
cncts; buthe understood FROM versation between
the respective parties that there was one county he
was certain, and perhaps another, from which no
returns were in. .- s .s ....- 2. .....-. ~. /. .

Mr. HAMLIN. At this time. And (Mr. H.
continued) he believed that in that one county
no election was held. There was also one precinct,
the returns which had been certified by The secre-
tary of State in additional statement which they
had not counted, and which gave to Mr.. BnoeKEN-
also paper annexed mo. 6) from an additional
prccir Ct, which gives to Mr. B. twenty majority,
which they had not counted as il was not clear 10
their minds that the returns Of that precinct had
not been made by the judges of probate.
The matter was, then, presented upon record ev-
idence. The minority asked additional time. That
was question for the House in its wisdom to set
Tie; but before they settled il airmativey, he asked
where was this controversy to end in case this mode
of procedure WINS allowed II was matter of re-
cord evidences and now, IL the other party gave no.
tice that he wished TO change the issue from the re-
cord to the polls, and upon that notice. il time was
given to the sitting member for the purpose of show
ing that illegal votes were given and by rejecting
which he would be entitled TO the seat than hv The

The other party might ask time TO 90 home and

Which ne stateu) the committee had subsequently
reversed their decision, and thus they, who were
of the then majority were now left in a minority.
MIR. COBB rose for Information of the gentleman,
and remarking that he understood him 10 saw that
IN tabular statement No. I, on which the commits.
SION was issued, were included no returns by nspec-
tors, no wished to know how the gentleman recon-
cllcd this statement with the following passage of
the report of the minority Of tho committee among
whom was found the name of the gentleman. viz. :
This statement [paper No. II the House will
perceive includes all the votes returned to the office
OF the secretary OF State at the expiration Of thirty
Gays, ooth those returned by inspectors, and those

irned by the Judges alone, the contestant has ia
majority; counting those returned by the inspectors
the sitting member has 1865 majority; counting ali
the votes returned by both sets of officers the sitting
mem Der has 81 majority"
Mr.. CHAPMAN, in reply. stated that tina, portion
OF the report proceeded on the assumption Of the
now majority Of the committee, by which they
claimed that portion of these returns came from
inspectors.
MIR. COBB. Il seems from the report that the

Mr. CHlPMAN. l think the gentleman will

The COttager,
BY MRS. l.. II. SIGOURNEY.

There was laborlng man, who built cot
tage for himself and his wife A dark grey
rock overhung it, and helped to keep it from the
wind.
When the cottage was finished, he thought
he would paint it grey, like the rock. And SC
exactly did he get the same shade of color, that
it looked almost as if the little dwelling sprung
from the bosom of the rock that sheltered it.
After while he cottager became able tt
purchase a cow. In the summer she picked W
the most Of her living very we'll But in the
winter she needed to be fed and kept from the
cold.
So he built barn for her 1t was so small
that it looked more like shed than a barn.
But it was quite warm and comfortable.
When it was done, neighbor came in, anc
said, " What color will you paint your barn 2
-" / had not thought of that" said the Gotta
ger.
" Then | advise you to paint it black AM
here Is pot of black paint which have bro
on purpose to give you"
Soon another neighbor coming in, praised hi
neat shed, and expressed wish to help him
and brought some white paint While he wa
in doubt which of the gifts to use, the edes
and wisest man in the village came to visit him
His hair was entirely white, aud every body 10,
ed him, for he was good as well as wise.
When the co:tager had told him the story
the pots of paint, the old man said: {" He VIII
gave you the black paint is one who dislikes YOU
and wishes you to do foolish thing. He VIII
gave you the white paint, is a partial frient
and desires you to make more show than is wise
Neither of their opinions should you follow
If the shed is either black or white, it will dis,
gree with the color Of your house. Moreove

ges of your boards to curl and split and the
white will look well for little while, and then
become soiled and need painting anew.
Now take my advice, and mix the black
and white together" So the cottager poured
one pot into the other, and mixed them up with
his brushes, and it made the very grey color
which he liked, and had used before upon his
house.
He had in one corner of his small piece OF
land hop-vine. He carefully gathered the RI
pened hops, and his wife made beer of them
which refreshed him, when he was warm and
weary.
1t had always twined around two poles which
he had fastened in the earth, to give it support
But the cottager was fond of buiIding-and he
made little arbor for it to run upon, and blus
ter about
lie painted the arbor grey. So the rock and
the cottage, and the shed and the arbor, were
all the same grey color And every thing around
looked neat and comfortable, though it was small
and poor.
When the cottager and his wife grew old, and
they were sitting together in the arbor, at the
sunset CT summers day.
A stranger who seemed to be looking at the
country, stopped and inquired how everything
around that small habtaon happened to be the
same shade of grey.
"It is we'll it should be so" said the cottager,
-" for my wife and l, you see, are grey also.
And we have lived so long, that the world itself
looks old and Crey to us now"
Then he told him the story of the black and
white paint,-and how the advice of an aged
man prevented him from making bis little estate
look ridiculous when he was young
81 have thought of this circumstance" said
he, 3" so often, that it has given me instruction.
He who gave me the black paint, proved to be
an enemy and he who urged me to use the
white, was A friend The advice of neither was
good"
Those who love US too we'll are blind to see
our faults, and those who dislike US are not will
ling to see our virtues One would make us all
white,-the other all black. But neither of them
are right For we are of mixed nature good
and evil, like the grey paint made of opposite
qualities"
-" If, then, neither the counsel of our foes nor
of our partial friends, is safe to be taken, we
should cultivate correct Judgment, which, like
the grey paint, mixing both together may avoid
the evil and secure the good"

VALUE OF Con MEAL-It has been the opin-
ion of most farmers, that corn-cobs were of lit
tie or no value, and they have generally thrown
them aside as of no use except for manure.-
The experience of some who have formerly fed
corn and meal; and the anticipated scarcity of
hay has led nearly all of our corn growers to
turn their cobs into food for their stock. To
show something of the extent which it has been
used here, the following will give you some data
to Judge from One mill in this town has, with
in the last three months, ground more than 5000
bushels of cobs, beside large quantity Of corn
in the ear This fact, think, proves quite
conclusvely, that cob-meal is valuable as an ar
tce of food for stock. Indeed the opinion
which is expressed by those who have used it,
is altogether in its favor. When they get out
their corn, it is not thteshed out entirely Clean
some 3 to Is bushels of corn is left on the cobs
They are kept clean as possible till ground into
meal. Cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, eat il
readily, without adding other grain. When fed
to cattle in addition to hay marked difference
in their condition and appearance is seen, from
those fed on hay without the meal. Some feeder.
mix it with other gram, roots, &c, with marked
profit and success. When fed with oil-cake
it is found to answer an excellent purpose, as i
takes up all the oil without waste German

Harvesting Potatoes.

Never commence harvesting your potatoes
till they have come to full maturity, or till the
frost has killed the tops down. While the tops
are green, the tubers are growing and improving.
In digging them, use either the plough or pota-
to hook As soon as they are out of the ground
let them be picked up. Never permit them to
remain out in the sun and air any longer than
they can possibly help. am we'll aware that
this direction is in opposition to the rule of ma
ny farmers, which is, to allow their potatoes to
remain out in the sun, drying as long as they
can, and yet have them picked up on the same
day that they are dug, in order that as much of
the earth as possible may cleave off from them.
This is very bad management for potatoes de-
signed for table use, because it renders them
strong, or acrid in taste.
Every attentive observer has noticed that that
part of the potato which happens to be uncover
ed in the hill, changes its color to a dark green.
This portion is very much injured in taste in
fact is unfit for use, because it has imbibed from
the atmosphere deleterous qualities, As soon
as potatoes are dug and exposed to the light and
air, this change begins Every attentive obser-
yer has also noticed that potatoes are of the best
flavor while they are yet in the ground. The
longer they are dug and exposed to the light and
air, the more of this high flavor is gone, till it is
lost, and they become unpaletabIe aud unwhole-
some. Potatoes that remain all winter in the
earth where they grew are in excellent condl-
ton for the table in the spring In view there
fore of these facts let us prescribe rule in har-
vesting the potatoes, which will tend to pcrpctu-
ate through the whoIe season those excellent
qualities. As soon as practicable after digging,
remove the potatoes designed for the table to a
dark bin, in the cellar. After depositing thus
the whole crop, OF as many as are designed for
the table, cover them over with earth or sand,
and they will retain their excellent qualities till
they begin to sprout in the spring and require to
be removed-Mass. PlOughman.

more than three or four deep. If piled togeth-
er in too large heaps they gather moisture and
rot rapidly. When frozen they may be preserved
long time but they should be cooked before
giving them to the stock otherwise they may do
them great injury On the whole we prefer
feeding out pumpkins as fast as possible af-
ter ripenng, and before the cold weather
sets in. They are of cold waery nature,
and unless cooked, we doubt whether they are
near as beneficial to animals in frosty weather,
as they are in mder or indeed any kind offruit
or root, though stock of good breed usually
do well upon them

Give me my old seat, Mother,
With my head upon thy knee;
I've passed through many changing scene,
Since thus I sat by thee.
O.! let me look into thine eyes
Their meek, soft, loving light
Falls like CLEAN of holiness,
Upon my heart tonight.
I've not been long away, Mother;
Few suns have rose and set
Since last the tear-dro9 on thy cheek
Ny lips in kisses met
TITS but little time, know,
But very long 1t seems;
Though every night came to thee,
Dear Mother, in my dreams.
The world has kindly dealt, Mother
By the child thou loy'st so well;
Thy prayers have circlGd round her path;
And twas their holy spell
Which made that path SO dearly bright;
Which strewed the roses there;
Which gave the light, and cast the balm
On every breath Of air.
bear happy heart, Mother;
A happier never beat:
And, even now, new buds of hope
Are bursting at my feet.
O! Mother life may be dream;
But if Such dreams are given,
While at the portal thus we stand,
What are the truths of Heaven!
bear happy heart, Mother
Yet, when fond eyes [ see
And hear soft tones and winning words,
ever think of thee.
And then, the tear my spirit weeps
Unbldden fills my eye;
And, like homeless dove, long
Unto thy breast to fly
Then | am very sad, Mother,
Pm very sad and lone;
O there's no heart whose Utmost fold
Opens to me like thine own!
Though sunny smiles wreathe blooming lips,
While love-tones meet my ear
Ny Mother one fond glance of thine
Were thousand times more dear.
Then with closer clasp, Mother
Now hold me to thy heart;
I'd feel it beating 'ganst my own,
Once more, before we part.
And, Mother, to this love-lit spot,
When am far away,
Come oft-tOo oft thou canst not come =
