Know Nothingism in Virginia haa
been silenced and spiked.
The citizens Of this place and III
cinity determined On Friday last to
hastily prepare 4 Barbecue to come
off On the ensuing day, Us it vas al \
certained that the Hon. j. s. CAK-
LILLE and A. g. JENKINs, ESQ, were
+ in Charleston, and would attend and
discuss the issues involved il the
present canvass. Though the notice
was short, a large number Of ladies
and gentlemen assembled Oh Satur-
day in a beautiful grove near this
place, where a most excellent Barbc-
cue was prepared
After dinner tile assembly retired
to the meeting house near byfor tile
purpose Of listening 70 the speakers.
The discussion was opened by Nj.
lCARLnE, who spoke one hour and 4

OF tile crisis. He contended that

and made one Of the ablest and most
eloquent addresses it has ever been

CLEARLY and conclnsiYely demonstrated
that the Democratic party was the
only organization capable Of sustain-

each humble ramble of thunder. But now
cloud as black as ink lowered over the head
of Babcocks bull, and bursting with one Of
those awful and deafening peals of double
distilled thunder; the top of the gigantic
tree eracked-was rent asunder, while ball
of fire seemed to run down the tree, ripping
its massive trunk, and dashing the splintcrs
about like chaff before the wind.
nThar, thar, boys, by Jim and Neddy, the
old bulls got it !!' roared Uncle Jess.
For my part, the lightning had blinded me
as stood in the piazza, two hundred yards
from the tree; but looking over to the spot,
there lay Babcock's bull, stretched fiat as a
hoe cake; knocked clear as whistle through
the heavy and high worm stake and ridered
fence, into the road. The rain was now de.
scending in glorious style-it revived the
bull, for he got up after considerable formal
ity, stretched himself very leisurely, bumped
up his back until he looked like a camel,
then up went his tail, perpendicular, he wheel
ed around to see what he could see--looked
ut the fence, and then at the tree, smelt the
earth, and looking all round very vacantly,
he seemed to say, after much deliberation:
"Well, I'll be darn'd if you hadn't me
that time w
And then putting in his best licks, he cut
for home, over fences, hedges, and bitches,
and never from that day to this-two years
ago-has Babcock's old bull ever come with
in mile and a half of Uncle Jess's planta-
ton. The last fire knocked him.

WIyTER1Na Cows.-We find in the Ru.

cnce related at Farmers Club Meeting,
respecting wintering COWS, from which we
take the following as possessing some inter.
est. One member said:
eff I were to have COWS wintered just to
my liking, they should be fed On cornstalks,
and if profit were consulted these, by all
means should be run through stalk cutter
This, in my estimation, is saving of one.
fourth their value.
"My method of feeding is to give each an,
imal bushel basket full of chopped stalks;
they will not eat them clean, but to save all,
I throw what they leave in the managers to
my colts, who soon dispose of them, and
without remainder. Those COWS which are
in milk, are fed slop of buck-wheat bran
night and morning, those not yet come in
are given two or three ears of corn at each
feeding, until they begin tospring bag, when
they arefed once a day the same as the COWS
that are MIXED. In this way COWS may be
kept in thriving condition, and I believe a
greater yield of milk and butter can be OBJ,
tanned, than from any mode of feeding
"In regard to the value of the different
kinds of food for COWS, l heard an old dairy.
man say that buckwheat was the best Of any
grain for producing milk. Corn and ccb
meal Cor corn meal alone) fattens COW too
much for their health, if fed before calving.
Two quarts of oats per DAY is a better feed at
this time. Corn and cob meal, half and half
is good feed for milch COWS, and wheat shorts,
scalded and salted, will induce large flow
of milk

And close by the side of a cooling brook,
Where the violet grows,

Dips her fair petals in the cooling stream.

And he feels that his yearly task is done,
Smiling at winter, he beckons him on.

KEEP TIE MOUTH SHUT DURING COLD
WEATHER. In the Journal of Health, DR..
Hall advises every person who goes into the
open air from warm apartment to keep the
mouth shut while walking or riding. He
says:
"Beforc you leave the room bundle up
well-gloyes, cloak, comforter-shut your
mouth before you open the street door, and
keep it resolutely closed until you have walk
ed briskly for some ten minutes; then if you
keep on walking, or have reached your home,
you may talk as much as you please. Not
so doing, many heart once happy and
young lies now in the church yard, that
might have been young and happy still
But how? If you keep your mouth closed
and walk rapidly, the air can only reach the
lungs by circuit of the nose and head, and
becomes warmed before reaching the lungs,
thus causing no arrangement; but if you
converse, large drafts of cold air dash direct
ly in upon the lungs, chilling the whole
frame almost instantly. The brisk walking
throws the blood to the surface of the body,
thus keeping up vigorous circulation, ma
king cold impossible if you don't get into
cold bed too quick afteryou get home. Neg
lect of these brings sickness and premature
death to multitudes every year"

SABBATH EVENING

SABBATH EVENING.
How calmly sinks the parting sun,
Yet twilight fingers still,
And beautiful as dreams of Heaven,
1t slumbers on tho hill,
Earth sleeps with all the glorious things,
Bensayh the Holy Spirits wings,
And rendering oack tho Aue5 above,
Seems resting in trance OF Love.
, Round yonder rocks tho forest trees
In shadowy groops recline
; Like saints at evening bowed in prayer
Around their holy shrine:
And through their leaves the soft winds blow
So calm and still--their music low
Seems the mysterious voice Of prayer,
Soft echoed in the evening cir.
And yonder western throng Of clouds,
Retiring from the sky:
SO calmly move, 80 calmly glow,
They seem to Fancy's eye
Bright creatures of better sphere,
Come down at noon to worship here,
And from their sacrifice of love,
Returning to their home above.
The blue isles of the golden sea,
The night arch floating high,
The flowers that gaze upon the heavens,
The bright streams leaping by,
Are living with religion deep
On earth and its glorious sleep
Aud mingle with the star-night rays,
Like the soft light of parting days.
The spirit Of the holy eve
Comes through the silent air,
To feelings hidden spring and wakes
A gush of music there!
And the fair depths Of ether beam,
> So passing fair We almost dream
That we can raise and wander through
Their open paths of trackless blue.
Each soul is filed with glorious dreams,
Each pulse is beating wild,
And thoughts soaring to the shrine
OF glory unde6led!
And holy aspirations start,
Like blessed angels from the heart,
And bind-for earth's dark ties are riven-
Our spirits to the gates of heaven. Ms
