MISCELL N EO u S.

It was not mere good nature, but the adop-

Ladd thus gentle-hearted. A story which, he
often told with peculiar relish will illustrate
this moulding Of his Characteristic gradual
progress Of his mind in adopting the peace
principle. 81 had," said he, "a fine field of
grain growing upon an out farm at some dis
tance from the homestead. Whenever rode
BY saw my neighbor Pulsifer's sheepin the

sheep were of the gaunt, long-earec kind, ac-
tive as spaniels; they could spring over the
highest fence, and no partition wall could
keep them out. l complained to neighbor
Pulsier about them, sent him frequent mes
sages, but all without avail. Perhaps they
would be kept out for day or two, but the
legs of his sheep were long, and my grain ra-
ther more tempting than the adjoining pas

there; became angry, and told my men to
set the dogs on them, and if that would not

HAY Va, aoI.n.

The Ohio Farmer In commenting upon the
letter Of California correspondent, makes
some very sensible remarks about the mania
which has possessed the people Of Of this
country to forsake the golden fields Of their
own State to dig in the "gold felds" Of Cali
fornia, where they often gather more disap-
Pointment than produce. The Farmer says.
II has ever been our opinion that the ulti-
mate prosperity Of California, or any other
State, must be Influenced more by its adapt
tation to agricultural pursuits than by any or
all the gold mines that have been or may be
found therein. There can be no sort Of doubt
but thst the greatest source of wealth which
California possesses is found in the rich val
leys, table lands, and mountain slopes so
graphically described by Fremont, and now
so ably noticed by Mr.. Kelley. When these
resources are developed, as they,will be very
soon, the gold diggings and quartz rock will
sink with comparative insignifrance. Look
at it. 1t is said that the yield of gold from the
California mines for the current year will
reach the enormous sum Of ifty-fve or sixty
millions Of dollars! An enormous sum truly;
and yet we venture to say that the value Of
the hay crop alone Of the State of New York
will fully equal it. Six Counties ofthat State
produced in 1850 100000 tons Of hay,
which. at 81 per ton, would be $4,000 600.
This they do year after year, with gradual
increase; and yet how few are seen rushing
to the meadows of Oneida, Jefferson, Chenan-
go, Deleware, Chautauque, or St. Lawrencel
The wheat and corn fields of Ohio produce
annually more dollars than the gold mines of
California. Yet there is no noise made about
it; and instead of thousands rushing to them
in the hope Of growing suddenly rich, thou
sands have been fleeing from them in search
of gold--gold-gold.
We hazard nothing in saying that had the
emigrants to California, since the discovery of
gold there, gone instead to the rich Glands OF
our Western States, they could have produced
double the amount of all the gold dug from
.he mines of that Ell Dorado. The capital
necessary to place man in working condition
in the California mines would have settled
him comfortably on an eighty acre lot in Iowa,
in good cabin, with team, farming uten-
sis, provisions, &C., and insured him, instead
of chance for little gold, the certainty of
an independent position for life, without the
sacrifice of home, friends, health morals, and
indeed all that men should esteem valuable
in life.
Thank heaven, the "gold mania" is In its
dec adence, and the time is near when it will
be seen and known that every ounce Of gold
dust dug from the California mines has cost
twice its marked value.

ers upon tbs question in litigation between
the NJ. E. Church and the NJ. E. Church
South, in relation to the property Of the Book
Concern in New York, report the following.
The Hon. John Mclean, having voluntarily
undertaken a correspondence with the Com
missioners Of the N. E. Church and those OF
the M. Z. Church, South, and having recei-
we'd assuran ces from both parties of a dispo-
ition TO come to an amica5le settlement of the
matter in litigation, and having been invited
to be present at q meeting of the aforesaid
Commissioners and to sid them with bis coun-

Commissioners, acted as chairman.

tion ofthe whole question, the Southern Com
missioners made a proposition fora settle
ment o! their claim, which the Commi ssion-
ers for the New York concern accepted.
Nothing now remains to be done to consum-
mate this desirable adjustment of a most
troublesome litigation but the execution OF
the necessary papers, and the arrangement
for final decree of the United States Court
for the Southern district of New York, now
in session In this city.
The settlement has been agreed Upon by
the parties without the arbitrament of third
party, and is to each entirely satisfactory.
The conclusion of this settlement was follow
ed BY Thanksgiving to God, and most hearty
expressions of Christian love and mutual con-
fdence. The feelings which prevail among
the Commissioners of the two Churches, we
may hope, is a true type ofthat which will
prevail hereafter throughout the bounds of
our common Methodism, North and South.
Much credit is to be awarded to his honor,
Judge Mclean, for his agency in the compile
ton OF this important and desirable arrange
ment and we doubt not but this act will stand
prominently among those of his long and
brilian; career, which have given him SO
enviable position before the Christian pub
lie.
The details of the settlement will be made
known to the public when the final decree of
the Court shall transpre. GEORGE PECK,

gentlemen have followed this business for
years past, until they are we'll known around

srable agents. These advantages, backed
by the fact that they are fiotoriously less
scrupulous in their means Of carrying their
points than most others, have up to this time
rendered them so successful as professional
Legislative drummers that they have among
them shared much of the public money which
never should have left the treasury of the
United States. Little good it does them,
however, as, in spite of our laws and the
efforts of our police, faro banks still flourish
in Washington. We shall have to keep our
attention upon them affectionately. As they
show their hands We shall inform the public,
and more especially honest members of Con-
gress, what schemes on the treasury each
may have in hand, so that they may beware

graceful as it is dishonofable. 1t may be
said, "Congress cannot hinder such charact-
ers as choose to act the part of political
jackalls from coming to Washington, and

for their own interests" This is true, but
the inference is that such characters would
never be found hanging round the Halls of
Congress if they did not receive encourage
ment in the practice of their lobbying arts.
1t is thus that Congress is implicated In such

fHE OLD GRIsT MILL.
BY r. II. s'roDDARD.

BY X. II. bTODpAkp.
The erist mill stands beside the stream,
With bending roof and leaning wall;
So old, that when the winds are wild,
The miller trembles lest 1t fall, ...
But moss and ivy never sere, ...,
Bedeck 1t o'er from year to year.
The dam is steep, and weeded green,
The gates are raised, the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps
The lowest round forever more. -..
Methinks they have sound Of ire, .-..
Because they cannot climb ithigher.
From morn till night, in autumn time,
When yellow harvests load the plains,
Up drives the farmer to the mill,
And back anon, with loaded wains;
They bring heap of golden grain,
And take it home in meal again.
The mill inside is dim and dark,
But peeping in the open door
You see the miller flirting around,
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by the shaft and down the spout,
The yellow meal comes pouring out.
And all day long the winnowed chafft
Float round it on the sultry breeze,
And shineth like a settling swarm .,..
OF golden.winged and belted bees; ...
Or sparks around blacksmith's door,
When bellows blow and iorges roar. .,.-.
Hove my pleusan. quaint cid mill,
1t minds me Of my edilt Prime;:
'Tis changed since then, but not SO muchi
As am by decay and time; ..t I.
Its wrecks are mosscd from year to year,
Blu. mine all dark and bare appear.
I stand beside the stream Of life
The mighty current sweeps along, .H
Lifting the flood.gates Of my heart,
1t turns the magic wheel Of song,
And grinds the ripened harvest, brought
From out the golden field Of thought.
