We do not intend to write anything to the prejudice OF
the telegraph IFS conductors. We know il to be a
great agent OF good We are aware that when it com.
muncates false information. it is not the fault of itself
of its managers but of those who furnish the mes
sages which it communicates. Its operators are bound
to communicate through it all dispatches which are de-
sired 10 be sent by It's paid for but they canno
and are not bound to guaranty their correctness II
false upon the authors Of such intelligence rests the
sponsibility.
But the fact cannot be denied that the first nel gence
OF elections has been received through the telegraph and
that 1t has generally turned out to be very nconec
when the true results have been recev ed The first ee
graphic returns have generally been too favorable to the
wings and too unfavorabe for the democrats This
OF course, is owing to those individuals who prepare
such incorrect and false information to be communicated
by the telegraph 1t therefore should serve as caution
to the democracy not to believe any unavoable news
communicated by the telegraph the eve of the cleo
uon For the purpose of afec ng the result in distan,
States false messages will doub ess be sent from one
place to another by the INSCRIPTIONS and desperate
agents of the wing party. Believe them not Believe
nothing against the interests of your cause sent by tee
graph on the of the election It will turn out to be
only desperate device of INSCRIPTIONS parsans grasp
that awaits them

Mothers can do Great Things"

In England, some years ago young man pre-.
scented himself before body Of clergymen to be
examined that he might be licensed to preacl
the Gospel. His advantages for study had moi
been very great, and he had many fears that he
could not sustain himself and answer the numer
GUS questions which he knew would be proposed
With trembling heart he stood up before his
fathers and brethren, and one Of them asked
him with whom he had studied divinity.
The young man was somewhat confused al
this question, for he knew very well that he haC
not enjoyed the instructions of any distinguished
divine, and he replied with hesitation, MY
mother taught me the Scriptures"
"Ah,'' said the minister who had asked the
question, "mothers can do great things !"
The examination then proceeded, and the re
sult was delightful proof that mothers may b,
good teachers of theology; that the truths i'm
planted by their early Instructions, watered b,
their pious tears, and sanctiGed in answer t.
their prayers, will bear precious fruit after man
days.
This candidate for the ministry was found t.
be mighty in the Scriptures, and most gladly wa
he commissioned to 60 forth and preach the wor
to his fcIlow-men.

Economy, as well as industry, was strictly OBJ
served, nothing was wasted Nothing unneces-
sary was purchased. The el,lest daughter be-
came assistant teacher in a distinguished female
seminary, and the second took her place as in
structress to the family.
The little dwelling, which had always been
kept neat, they were soon able to beautfy. Its
construction was improved, and the vines and
Towering trees were replanted around it. The
merchant was happier under his woodbine cover
ed porch, in summers evening than he had
been in his Snowy dressing-room.
" We are now thriving and prosperous" said
he, & shall we return to to the city,"
"Oh, no, no." was the unanimous reply.
Let us remain" said the wife, where we
have found health and contentmenL"
Gather" said the youngest, all we children
hope you are not going to be rich again; for
them" she added, "we little ones were shut up
in the nursery, and did not see much of you or
mother. Now we all live together, and sister,
who loves us, teaches us and we learn to be in
dustrious and useful. We were none of us hap
ply when we were rich and did not work, So
father, please not be arich man any more"

TO THE WINGS OF THE EIGHTH CON-
GRESSlONAL DISTRICT, OF MASSA-
CHUSETTS.
1t may reasonably be expected that you will
desire from me some account of the proceedings
of the late National Conyention--to which |
went as your Delegatc-with the reasons of the
course felt it my duty to pursue, in connec-
ton with It, To answer that cxpcctation-and,
at the same time, to place you in possession of a
plain Statement of lacts-is my present purpose.
AT the Convention by which was chosen
one of the largest ever assembled in the District,
resolutions were unanimously adopted, express
slVe OF the sentiments of those | represented in
National Convention, which, as l understood
them, required me
l. To advocate the principles of the Wing
party
9 TO vote for undoubted Wings for office;
B TO support no persons not clearly known
to be opposed to the extension Of Slavery; and
4. To do nothing, directly or indirectly, tc
encourage the barering away the oit-repeated
pledges of Massachusetts Wings for the posses
sion of office.
Guided by these landmarks, | went to the
Convention. You may Judge of my surprise anC
modification, when found that these princi
pies you had, with so much unanimity, adopted
and to which felt myself bound to adhere, were
all to be surrendered; and that Gen Taylor

Farmers Summer Work.

Good farmers differ in opinion as to the time
in point of maturity, when grass should be cut
Some commence their hoying as soon as the
plants are fairly in blossom, whether hcrds-grass
timothy, or clover; while others wait until the
seed is nearly ripe. Something is due to the
consideration how much work in haying one
has got to perform, how much help" to exc
cute the task, and how pressing the harvesting
Of wheat, barley oats, and other crops may be,
to affect the farmers arrangements for securing
his hay. If one can choose his time we think
that all the gramineous plants should be cut
while the seed is in the milk, or just at the time
when the seed begins to form. At that period,
the nutritious ecments--thosc that form the
starch and gluten of all seeds-are largely diff
fused thro the stems and leaves of grasses
Much sound judgment needs to be exercised
in cutting grass at the right time, in avoiding
aims and dews, and in curing hay just enough ;
or, neither too much, nor too little, If it were
practicable, hay would be much better if cureC
in the shade, and free alike from the decom
posing power of the heat and light Of the direc
rays of the sun. These dissIpate much of thu
aromatic oil and peculiar coloring matter in ney
made, and badly made hay
Rest assured kind reader, that the alkalios
potash and soda, and the alkaline earths, lin
and magncsla, have much to do, not only il
correcting mineral acids in the soil, but the
perform in the laboratory of plants, an mpoltan
function in changing vegetable acids into starch
sugar and oils
1t is better not to cut grass when there is
heavy dew early in the morning, if it can be VIC
avoided. 1t requires longer exposure to tn
sun after it is mown, than is desirable. Get you
, grass into winrow and cock, as soon as it wi
answer; and then, by shaking it up light for til
} air to pass through the heap, finish the curin
; with as little sun as practicable
: In curing all medicinal plants, they should |
dried in the shade.
In stacking, or moving away in barn, ca
culate for yourself how much salt your shee
cattle, and horses will need while eating tc
, of your hay, and then spread, as you unload tn
quantity evenly over the stack or NOV, III
| writer of this has cured good deal of hay, al
J has often put on too much salt TO avoid nju
| to pretty green NOV, which was not exact
hay nor grass. While you put on salt enoAg
remember that cattle don't need to be secure
in Geld weather with salt hay.-Gcacsee Farme

1,he Good Li1tlo (IirL

A very little girl who often read the Bible
gave proof that she understood her obligation to
obey its preccpts One day she came to her
mother, much pleased, to show some fruit which
had been given TO her. The mother said tho
friend was very kind and had given her great
many, Yes, said the child, very, indeed ant
she gave more than that but have given some
away. The mother inquired to whom she hat
given them when she answered, gave then
to little girl who pushes me off the path anc
makes faces at me. On being asked why she
gave them to her. she replied, Because though
it would make her know that | wish to be kline
to her, and she will not perhaps be rude and un
kind to me again How admirably did she ther
obey the command to overcome evil with good.

The Shower.
BY RALPH H0YT.

Reader if you love a rainy day as dearly as we {
is charming little poem will find an cchoin your SC
if not, read it, and it may help to enkindlc sucl
we.
In valley that ! know
Happy scence!
There arc meadows sloping low
And the brightest waters flow
All serene;
But the sweetest thing to see
Ifyou ask the dripping tree,
Or the harvest-hoping swain,
Is the Rain.
All, the dwellers of the town,
How they sigh
How ungratclully they Grown
When the cloud-king shakes his crown,
And the pearls come pouring down
From the Sky!
They descry to charm at all
When the sparkling jewels fall,
And each moment of the shower,
Seems an hour!
Yet there's something very sweet
In the sight,
When the crystal currents meet
In the dry and dusty street,
And they wrestle with the heat
In thor might
While they seem to hold talk
With the stones along the walk,
And remind them of the rule.
To keep coon
But in that quiet dell,
Ever fair,
Still the Lord doth all things well,
When his clouds with blessings swell
And they break a trimming shell
On the air;
There the shower hath its charms,
Sweet and welcome to the farms,
AS they listen to itsvoicc,
And rejoice.
