Kinney with supplies for an invading army.
The country he had obtained by grant from
the Mexican authorities, probably for servi
ces rendered, but prior to being American
soil, (much less free aferward) fairly
swarmed with Col. Kinney's pack mules
and the cattle upon the whole plain were
his. Under these circumstances, with ne
cessity pressing, the frontier trader had
nothing TO do but name his own price fer
stock and speedily count his fortune after
ward.
The opening of this new field was fur
thermore inviting TO the adven turer, and
peculiar services being required, they were
secured first to guide the advance of the
army through the intricate pathways of the
enemys country, known so well by one who
had business there before, and that duty
we'll performed, the vocation of spy was
the next honor that was in waiting for the
hero. With what ability the Colonel ac-
quilted himself in this vocation we do not
know, but never having heard of any com
plant, presume he answered the requirement
satisfactorily.
At the close of the war we find the gov
eminent vacating the country it had sub.
dued, and at Vera Cruz all the surplus
supplies of the army, including wagons,
horses, saddles, harnesses, guns, ammunition,
steamboats-in fact every variety of equip
ment that is needed to maintain &" the pomp
and circumstance Of glorious war; offered
for sale in Jumps to the best bidder, Col.
Kinney becoming the purchaser Of pretty
much the whole lot, at a price so nominal
that it is not worth naming.
This completes the sketch up TO the pres
ent time of remarkably uneasy man, one
who had rare talent TO make himself com

but spoiled by an ambition TO be greater than

A CAPAcIous CARPET BAG.--Meanness
occasionally meets with shock that is a
lesson to all concerned, especially to the
victim. On the Cleveland cars day or two
since, coming 10 Buffalo, was stalwart
man, going to New York to buy goods. He
was not what might be called stingy man,
but he was one, who, when there was a cent
due him that swinding might deprive him of,
would sacrifice $50 bill TO save the copper.
Our friend had started from Cleveland with
out any breakfast, and when Erie " hove" in
sight, he gathered himself up for general
skirmsh iorany and all kinds of provisions.
He had carpet bag with him, and going in
TO the dining-room at Erie, deposited his
carpet bag on one chair, while he took an
other by its side. He was lost for about ten

One HAPPY MAN.--The happiest man
have ever known is one far enough from be-
ing rich in money, and who will never be
very much nearer 10 it. His calling fits him.
and he likes it, rejoices III its process as
much as in its results. He has an active
mind well filled. He reads and he thinks,
He tends his garden before sunrise every
morning-then rides sundry miles by the rail
-does ten hours work in town-whence he
returns, happy and cheerful. With his own
smile he catches the earliest smile of the
morning, plucks the first rose of his garden,
aud goes TO his work with the little flower
in his hand and great one blossoming out
of his heart. He runs over with charity, as
a cloud with rain; and it is with him as
with the cloud-what coming from the cloud
is rain 10 the meadows, is rainbow of glo-
ries to the cloud that pours it out. The
happiness of the affections fills the good man,
and he runs over with friendship and love-
connubial, parental, flial-friendly too, and
philanthropic besides His life is perpet-
ual " trap to catch a sunbeam. and it always
"springs" and takes it in. know no man
who gets more out of life; and the secret Of
it is, that he does his duty to himself, to his
brother, and to his God. know rich men,
and learned men-men of great social posi-
ton and if there isgenius in America,
know that-but happier man have never
known.-lTheodore Parker.

Sailing of the Baltic Fleet.

The Baltic feet. thr most powerful and
imposing that ever left the shores of even
naval England, sailed from Spithcad April
4th, in profound silence, contrasting strong
ly with the sailing Of the fleet last spring,
when all was gay and promising, and anx-
ious thousands crowded the waters from all
parts of the kingdom, 10 give their last adieur
and breathe their good wishes for success.
The day was lowering and gloomy; only two
gay yachts braved the uncomfortable wealth
cr and the fog shut out from the shores the
magnificent spectacle of l3 line of battle
ships leaving their anchorage under canvas.
There was no good queen there TO wish a
"success," nor were the waters spotted over
with boat loads Of we'll wishers, but every
man in the fleet left with glowing hope Of
returning in the autumn deserving of being
welcomed with JOY and acclamation, and
forming another contrast to last year. The
fleet got under way at 3 o'clock, and pro-
ceeded without any particular order, about
six miles TO sea, when it fell dead calm
and signal was made TO get up steam. BY A
o'clock, the fog had cleared away and the
sun shone without cloud in the blue sky
to screen his brightness. The ships short
'ened all sail, and proceeded TO the eastward
in two long lines. The starboard division

Effect Of Coed Attealion at Church.

A youth about nine yeas Of age,
had been frequently lectured by his
parents, concerning the seeming mat
tention displayed by him during
church services. One Sabbath a par
ticular favorite with his mother was
to preach, and he determined to pay
strict attention to the discourse, and
afterwards quiz his mother concerning
the import of some of his ramarks.
The preacher took his text and dis
coursed pretty freely on the power Of
G0d-said that there was nothing inn
possible with God-that be could do
anything he choosed to do, however
unreasonable to US it might appear
The youth, whose name was Freder-
lex, pondered over this portion Of the
sermon all the while the balance he
cared nothing for. On returning, bis
mother praised him no little for bis
good conduct and attention, when the
following controversy arose:
Mother said Fred, do you believe
all that the preacher said?'

said anything bat what was true

Damn Stables.

When / first came to the farm
which l now hold by purchase, found
the stables built under large trees
and rear a spring of water, with a
northern aspect. Ny horses were
soon in poor condition, with long
and rough coats, and almost always
lax in their bowels, nor could l get
them up by extra food or lighter
work; my COWS suffered the most, for
they were always sick. Their milk
fell off and their butter was poor, and
Of bad color and taste, and four of
them slipped their calves before their
time. When spring came they left
their winter quarters in a worse state
than / had ever seen them, and two
of them died from scours on going to
pasture. On inquiry, I found that
the tenant who had left, had always
been what the neighbors termed uG-
fortunate in bis horses and cattle. and
from that cause more than any other,
he had not been able to make both
ends meet. The truth flashed upon
me in an instant, and in a very little
longer time than it has taken me to
tell my story, / commenced pulling
down my stable--the unhealthiness
of which, / was convinced, had bsen
the cause of all the evil and the loss;
end it was not more than two days be-
fore there was not left one stone upon
another of the whole fabric. | nov
set to work and created another on
higher gound, removed from water
and clear rom the shade of trees, with
q southwest aspect, and dry capacious
yard; from that day I have had nei-
Their sickness nor sorrow in my out
side household. My horses live on
less food, are always slick and in good
condition, and my cows are a credit
to their keeper. Our butter brings 2
cents a pound more in the market;
for last year our sales are more than
doubled from the same number Of
cows, and the same pasturage, and no
more premature calves. Instead Of
watering my cattle as heretofore, at
the springs under the trees-the wa
ter cold; with deadly taste and bad
color, [ sunk a well and put in q
pump; and at long trough in the
yard for the summer, and another un-

Stake their thirst without setting up
their coats, as they used to do aftel

Even when the weather was warm
they were accustomed to shake all
over as if they were in fit of sgue,

and misery which I have experienced
