A Cousin in Need.

On dreamy autumn day, more than n
hundred years ago, a heavy travelling car
riaye slowly numbering alongi;he mud
dv rold from potsdam to Berlin Within
i. WAS one person only, who took no heed
f the slowncss # fhe travelling; but lean
il; back i. corier. Was arranging null
tipiieity of pap~rs contained in :, small
p2r'f.l .lio ana making no'cs in Il poc.ci-
booh :>iucs. hc vas dressed in plain,
dark ni.i'aIy uniform. i was fair to sup
ros,- that ,his gentleman belonged To the
?rIssian Army. 5a' f" which grade Of it,
nobody could determine, as all token OF
rank had been avoided. y drcary Novcm
Der evening was closing in; and though
the rain had for time ceased, yet dark
MISSES of clouds dying through the sky,
gave warning that a weeping darkness was
at hand The road grew heavier and hcav
icr-at least, So it should have seemed to a
foot travelr, who WAS plou:shiny his way
through is miro; and so, doubtless, it did
sc IN to the carriage horses, who at last
floundered along SO slowly that the pcdes-
trim, whom they had overt AIKEN kept east
ly by the side of the eoach--though at re-
spectful distance, certainly; after the first
bucket full Of mud that it splashcd over
him. The gentleman inside the coach,
when he could see no longor, shut up his
portfolio, and returned the pocketbook to
its place in the breast lining Of his coot.-
He then reused himself to look out of the
window, and Judge, from the mud and
darkness how far it might be to Berlin
For the first time, he perceived that mud
dy young man was walking at little dis
tance from his horses. Though more thar
reasonably travel-strained, he trudged OF
as if his limbs were as strong as his hear
light Through the drizzle and darkness
all that could be seen of his face was sensi
bic and good tempered. He had just fin
ishel q pipe as he attracted the traveller
attention and was in the act Of shaking ou
the ashes and replacing the pipe ina walle
slung over his back, when he heard him
self addressed in the manner following, ant
in rather an authoritative tone of voice:
Halo, young man, whittier are yo'
bound this stormy night?'
That is more than l can tell YOU, not bc
ing at home in this part Of the world. NJ
wish is to reach Berlin; but if | find n rest
ins place before get thereto that | an
bound, for am weary
i should think you must have tw
hours walk before YOU was the unsatis
factory remark that followed
The young man made no reply. and afe
short pause, the stranger said:
III it please you to rest OF the step Of til
ca ilage fora few minutes, YOU are wclcom
50 to do. Herr What s-your-name?'

When to get out Manure.

There are but two seasons of the year in
which manure can be hauled To the fields
with any degree of propriety, and these are
after harvest, when the ground Is dry and
hard, and in winter when it is frozen
Many farmers are in the practice of getting
out their manure in the Spring: but We
are fully convinced by bitter experience.
that the injury done to the ground by haul
ing heavy loads over it when in wet or
moist state, is an injury too great to be toll
Grated, when it can be easily avoided. 1t
causes it to bake, and become cloddy. so
that, but for the manure, it would not yield
half a crop. for the first year, to say moth
ing of the Inconvenience and extra labor
attending the blowing and cultivation of it.
Winter is, with the farmer, a season of com
parative leisure, and then is undoubtedly
the time to get out manure, when the lanes
are solid and no possible injury can be
done 10 the fields. If thrown into heaps.
the manure will suffer little or no loss. by
thus living several months before i is turn
ed under with the plow. Stock should new
er be allowed to run on the fields when the
ground is wet, much less should they be
traversed by loaded wagons and cut into

OUR UNION.
BY MRS. l.. II. SlGOCRNEl

By MRS. l.. II. sIGOrRNEY
Our father lives in Washington,
AMI has world Of cares,
Yet, gives his children all farm,
Enough for them and theirs;
Full thirty well grown sons has he,
A numerous race indeed
Married and settled, too, dye see,
With boys and girls to feed;
And If they work and till their lands,
They're sure to earn living,
And have pretty sum to spare
For laying up or giving:-
A thriving family are we
Nolordling need deridc us,
For we know how to use our hands,
And in our wits We pride us.
Hail. Brothers of the banded States,
May naught on earth divide u.s.
Some of us dare the sharp North east,
Some, clover fields are sowing,
And others raise the cotton plants,
That keep the looms a-gong-
Some bnid and steer tie whitening ships,
And few in speed can mate them
And others reap the bearded wheat,
Or grind the corn to freight them;
And if our neighborS DER the sea
Have e'er an empty larder.
To send loafthcir hearts to cheer
WeIl trya little harder,
No old nobility have We,
Nor tyrant king to ride US,
Our SageS at the Capitol
Enact the laws that guide us
Hail, brothers of the banded States.
Let naught en- earth divide US.
Some faults have we've cant deny
a foible here and there,
But other households have the same,
And so we won't despair,
Twill do no good to fret and fume,
And call hard names dye sec
And what shame it were to part
Such thriving family.
''Tis but a waste of time TO fret,
Since Nature made us one
And every quarrel cut thread
That blessed lave has spun;-
So, draw the cords of union close,
Whatever shall bctidc us
Still cling fast, through every blast,
For MANY storm had tried us
Hail. Brothers of the banded States.
Let nauSht on earth divide US.
