Old Age.

BY ALFRED B. STREET.
All day the chill bleak wind had shrek'd and valid
Through lesfess forests, and O'er meadows
Through the fierce sky great sable clouds had sal'd
Outlines were hard; all natures looks were drear
Gene, Indian Summers bland delicious haze,
.Thickenng sofI nights and filming mellow days.
Then gray Clouds thin fiuttered first the snow;
Then like loose shak'n eeces then in dense streams
That muffied gradually all below
In pearly smoothness. Then outburst the CLEANS
At sunset; nature shawn in flashing white,
And the last rays tinged all with rosy light.
So Life's bland autumn o'er, may old age come
In mnff1ing peace, and death display hopes ra-
dent bloom,

sWhat is Democracy?

- : ~
The Washington correspondent Of the Lou
isyille Courier, in alluding to the scene in the
House of Representatives. when the Rirerand
Harbor Bill was called up. says:
There was another scene of about as rich
a nature in the House, as has been witnessed
this session, in the debate that sprung up on
the motion to take up tie Harbor and River
of the Union. 1t was confined TO the mem-
bers of the Locofoco party, in which the in
terrogatory was propounded by Mr. Burt 10
Mr.. Mclean, of Maryland what is Democ-
racy, and what are Democratic principles -
Mr.. Mclean replied that Democratic prinei-
pies in 1914, was Polk and Dallas and IN
Is4s, 'Cass and Batler,'--a definition thai
caused the Wings evident mirth. but caused
divers wry faces and scowling brows on the
part of Mr.. McLean's political friends. An
adjournment, however took place before any
other satisfactory definition ensued. many Of
the faithful trusting. during the debate to-day.
Mr. Mclean would give moro satisfactory
definition of their principles than lie attempts
ed yesterday. This debate was caused By
Mr. Mclean referring to the opinions of Mad
ison, Monroe and others, in support of appro-
priations for rivers and Harbors. against which,
Mr. Burt, and all such nulli6ers are bitterly
apposed. The interrogatory of Mr.. Burt how
ever, was as unfortunate for him as Il has
proven difficult of solution by Mr.. Mclean:
aud it was little amusing that no two demo-
Gratis who said anything could agree as in what
Democratic principles consisted. The Wings
looked on and laughed, and the galleries, With
one accord, Joined in the merriment

sabbath Tsyening at Home.


When Sabbath bells have ceased their sounds,
And the hours of day past,
And twilight draws its curtain round,
And shadows gather fast
There is one spot, and one alone,
Round which our hearts must cling
And fondest me mores, one by enc,
Their choicest treasure bring.
That spot is Home; its sacred walls
Admit dscord then;
Nor crowded marts nor festive halls,
Nor gayest haunts OF men,
Can no a JOY SO real and pure ee
None such 10 them is given;
Might joys Ike these for age endure,
This earth were quite heaven.
I've wandered far 'moug other bowers
Than those my childhood knew,
With hope Of gathering fairer flowers
Than in those gardens grew
Yet in the cold worlds earnest throngs-
Mid its dim and stormy strife,
Affection turns to scenes and songs
OImy young and joyous life.
Homes well-loved group! Its Sabbath song
Its tunes seem to hear; ..rrr ~. -...
Though borne fulmany league alone,
They come distinct and clear.
o Sabbath night o treasured Home!
From pride of emoTy's train
And thoughts of ye, where'er | rOamr
Shall bring my youth again. -#...

A BEAU BBUMMELL AMONG THE WORKING
MEN.-A correspondent Of the Sunday Cou-
rfer thus describes an eccentric individual at
New Orleans:
'We have man here by the name of Dun
can. who has a most singular taste in regard
to clothing and jewelry. He wears an i'm
mense white broad -brimmed hat, and a gold
embroidered suit of clothes, that cost. in Par:
is, $500. He has gold watch chain that
would fasten an elephant: five or six pounds
of rings dazzle on his fingersj his boots are
encased in silver coats of mail, and he carries
a cane bedizzened with massive chunks Of
silver. There is an amiable bearing about
the man that warrants me in considering his a
most singular fancy, and not charlatan love
of notoriety. He is cleanly, hard-working
stevedore, and the jewelry on his person is
valued at $4,000, which he wears only on a
Sunday. There is no dirty misanthropy about
him, so often mistaken for true democracy, bu.
a.desire to CRAFTY this odd fancy With some
propriety.

EDuCATE THE PEOPLE.

Men of wealth, men of learning, pour in
structjons upon the heads of the people-you
owe them that baptism. Look at the boy in
the gutter! hatless, shoeless, and part OF our
sovereignty. Should he not receive sovrelgn
education! Should he not be prepared for the
throne our institutions have given him Z There
is a gem in every human form; lei The diamond
be polished, and it will shine in truth and beau
ty. There is still in the most debased" beam
still divine" And our motto should be- Teach
and habituate the people to make right use of
the faculties which God hath given them. and
then trust them fearessy to themselves Give
denocraces education, and freedom of action,
and then g let them alone"
"Uneducated mind is decided vice" for God
made man to know He is the creature OF in
struction for in right education there is di-
vine achymy which turns all the baser parts of
mans nature into gold. We are told by the
ancients that rs soon as the first rays of the
morning sun fell upon the statues of Memnon,
it sent up music. 1t is after the first rays OF
knowledge fell upon man that his nature dis.
courses harmony-all before is the darkness of
barbarism.
All can see that wickedness leads to misery,
yet very few ma out that whch Is equally Ger
tain, that ignorance leads to misery, and mise
ry to wckedness. DR.. Johnson was once ask
ed: "Who is the most miserable man 2 and
the reply of the sage was: that man who
cauuot read on rainy day" The writer was
once passing through park, and saw nailed
to one of the trees this warning:-" All dogs
found in this park will be shot" A friend who
was with US remarked unless dogs can read
they are pretty bad off here" Now God has
not only written his laws upon the trees, but
in the stars and to the flowers; his laws are
above US and beneath us, on our right and on
our left, and if man is not able to read, he is
pretty bad off here-worse off than the dog,
but the dog has master to read for him but
man has no master between him and his God.
A maxim, of more truth and force than any
I remember ever to have seen, was thrown off

by British statesman by man who was in
learning varied and philosophical, and who in
conversation threw out more gems, sparkling
and brilliant as they came, than any other man
of his age. His profound apothegm was that
" Education is The cheap defence of nations" :"
and if might put truism by the side of this,
woald say, it is cheaper TO educate the infant
mind than to support the aged criminal. Yes,
hestow the peace on common schools, and save
the pounds on PRISONS Man was not made to
be sent to prison, but to be educated; and " the
very worst use you can put a man to is to hang
HIM" Neither is man Human Poor Box
iuto whose mouth we are to drop few cents
daily "The ignorant child left to grow up
darkenng into deeper Ignorance of manhood,
with all hIs jealousies, and its narrow minded
ness and its superstitions, and its enjoyments; ;
roor amid the intellectual and moral riches Of
the UNIVERSE blind in this splendid temple
which God has lighted up, and furnishing amid
the proiusions of omnipoteuce,'

SMALL MATTERS IN AGRICULTURE.

From all sections do we hear the cry of short
provision crops, and there is all alarming truth i'll
the cry who can doubt when he steps into a pro-
vision sore of one OF our cities and learns that
baco l-sides are fifteen cents per pound, corn one
dollar per bushel and all other eatabies in pro-
portion! Why is this The drought, no doubt.
has much to do with it, but il is not entirely owing
TO the drought Our farmers and planters have
not given sufficient attention 10 the small matters
of agriculture. Who cares for corn, potatoes,
peas, aud the thousand little garden iuXuries, that
all may have, when the great staph commands
good prices But, alas. the grea, sta pie is down,
and the small matters are up If the Apostle
meant what he said, when lie declared that those
who provided not for their own household were
worse than nfdelS, we fear our peOpe are III
bad plight. "Despsc not small things" says in
spiraton but how few heed it. We talk OF our
three million bags of cotton. as though it was the
lever of the Wor d !ct " talk more OF the hum
bier crops.
Who has planted the gouber and the Gov pea
who has fine fields of potatoes who is well stock
ed with carrots, rutabagas aud turnips, whose
corncrib is full who is well supplied with dried
fruit for the year who has supply of herbs Tor
medicinal and savory purposes; and, in short
who have any of the comforts Of life around them
that they do not expect TO pay for from the pro-
ceeds OF cotton, at its present low prices! Again
we say "Despise not small things" Were there
gouber peas in abundance bacon would not bring
fifteen cents per ID. Were the root crops prop
ery attended to- fat beef and mutton might grace
our tables Were fruits cultivated, preserved and
dried, healthfuI and nourshiug continent might
accompany our bacon and green's through the
winter. Were the herbs cultivated and saved,
dimes and dollars wou d remain at home, that
now swell the Shakers purses; and were the i'll
ia tt,,J, pf ma
attended TO, that grow almost spontaneously here
millions of dollars would stay at home to build
colleges and school houses, that now are scatter
ed over the worId--and our people feeling and
realizing their independence, would then indeed,
"grea,Iy independent live" Again we say, de-
spiSe not the small things of agriculture.--S0il

From the Carpet Bag.
LAMENT CT THE DlSC0NS0LATE L0AFER

They say "a good times coming"
Though it travels mighty slow,
But if ever it should gethere,
hope they'll let us know
can't geta drop Of gin,
And am short of bread and tater,
And find that ain gettingin
Almost state of mater.
My coat with mud is coated,
And wholly full of holes;
Ny drawers are overdrawn; my shoes
Have mercy on their soles
For they have gaped and seemed
To cry for pegs or stitches;
But, though divested of vest,
I've breaches in my breeches.
They say this country's free,
No tyranny can block up,
But when has spree,
They puts me in the lookup.
If thus they treat freeman
Of this boasted Yankee nation.
I'd rather be a nigger-slave,
And work on aplantation
There were terrible mistakes
At the time Of "the creation,'
For the plan of mater surely needs
A sight of alteration.
For thorns and thistles grow
Without being hoed or planted,
And weeds are always sure to come
Just when they isn't wanted.
Why not have wheat and corn,
Spontaneously growing!
And why should taters need
Such an awful sight Of hoeing!
That fellows back must ache,
And his hands grow hard and horny!
Oh, if only had tue tin,
I'd go to Caforny!

NEWSPAPERS.

Newspapers are things that can be dispensed
with-as costing money that might be saved.
So is the schooling of our chdren--so indeed,
are nine tenths of what it costs US to live. AL
most any man might lay up money every year
if he would live on bread and water and clothe
himself in the cheapest manner he could; but
what of that! Who would live like a brute and
die like beggar, for the mere pleasure of sa.
ping money, which he cannot carry hence with
him though like a dead weight it may hang
upon his soul at the last moment of his mortal
existence! There are few such; FIVE or ten
million; and what wretcoed creatures are
theya Most men, sensible that they must die
are disposed to enjoy little of the fruit OF their
tolls and nothing is perhaps more necessary
to the enjoyment of society or dissatisfaction
in retirement, than a wel.informed mind. 1t
gives zest to all things in prosperity and is the
hest resource in adversely. Newspapers, though
not always conducted with talent and respec-
liability, are the best channels for an acqualn-
tance with the affairs of the world, and to I'M
plant desires in the hearts of youth for more
solid reading, as he goes on to maturity. In
truth, they are the great engine that moves the
moral and political world, and are Infinitely
powerful to establish the character OF people,
as we'll as to preserve their liberties, and can.
not be so easily dispensed with as some per
sons believe-unless indeed we think the trou-
BILE of seif.government is too great and agree
10 transfer the power of the state to the few that
are ready to use it for their own advantage.
But this cannot be the will of the people Of the
United States, yet observing however the too
General reprgnance to reading, (though it pre-
walls less with us than in any other country,)
it is the duty of those who feel the pleasure and
profit of it, to smooth the way to it and afford
every facility that light and knowledge may be
diffased. Gan armed people and an unarmed

TO execute the will of the people. How lmpor'

INCREASE OF THE MANURE HEAP.

Good farmers will now cart matter into their
cattle Yards 10 increase their manure heap There
is no other mode Of preventing the wssle OF ma
nure so certain as the mixing o: the eXcrements
of animals with such materials as will retain their
virtues. We must b We bulky heaps, and we have
no faith in lhe doctrine that little essence carried
in ones pocke, can possibly be equal in virtue TO
a good cart load of matter
Peat mud is not the only matter suitable for the
cattle yard. So from the side Of the road or from
the side OF ;.el next to wall. often found to
be quite as good as peat mud-though there ia as
much difference in peat mud as in soils. Some
men are much deceived by the color OF the article
they put in their yards. Black mud is supposed TO
be richer than that of other coors. But this not
always the case Still any kind Of mud or soil
will answer good purpose, compared with the
poor practice OF yardng cattle in summer without
supplying the means of retaining all the rich ma
te- which is dropped there. Yards ought TO be
cleared ont twice each year-once for planting IN
the spring. and again for sowing down in August
and September. If no sowing is then done, the
summer manure may be used to much advantage
on grass lands in October. But by all means take
care and keep good quantity OF matter N the cal
tie yard and in the hog pen, for otherwise you
waste what cannot be easy replaced
All have leisure enough. after planting, to at
tend To this business-a business lh,t was not
much attended to fifty years ago linen not one
farmer in fifty took care to supply Ills cow yaru
with matter to retain or increase his manures'
When hte soil was first broken up and unexhaust
cd. crops were expected and actually "otaihed
without the application OF manures.-P!o~mdh.
