OlL1SG HARSEss.-On a rainy day, when the
farmer cannot work out doors, one Of the best
things he can do is to oil his harness. If kept
clean, and properly oiled and pliable, harness
will last much longer than if suffered and rem
dered gritty by coat of dirt, and loft rigid and
liable to crack from want of oil. In order to
oil harness properly, unbuckle and separate
every scrap; then wash it i'll warm soap suds.
The warmth may little exceed that of new
milk-if approaching hot, it will injure the leath.
er. The soap suds should be used rapidly, and
only long enough to remove the crust which has
been formed on the harness by dust settling on
the previous oiling. Ifthe application is longer
continued, it will abstract too much oil from the
leather. Carriage harness, to look well, should
then be BACKED, and afterwards the oil applied.
A correspondent of the NeU England Farmer,
recommends the following Us the best blacking
he has tried: One ounce of extract of Logwood,
twelve grains Of hichromate Of potash, both poun-
ded fine, and then two quarts of boiling rain wa
ter added and stirred till all is dissolved. 1t is
kept in bottle. This he says is much better
than copperas, viii! h cats into the leather. He
first applies meats foot oil, and afterwards the
same with one third castor oil, which enables the
leather to withstand the effects of rain aud expo
sure longer than otherwise. 1t should not be
forgotten that such parts Of the harness as are
worn and used most should have the most oil,
which may be given by q second application.-

No NIGHT TMERE.-Who has not passed
nights of watching and wearine:s? Oh how JOY
fully does the light of day beam upon us after a
night of tossing to and fro upon bed of pain
A night of afiliction is full OF anxi:ty and care.
Though it is the time to Sleep yet how often we
are kept walking! An then, many,. very many
of our DAYS are dark and sombre. How our splr.
its are affected even by the state Of The skies and
the weather! Sickness and pain are not visitants
Of darkness only they continue their ravages
by day. But in that abode of glory and blessed
sness-the home of the ransomed OF God-there
will be no night. For the Lamb Of God will
be the light thereof" Glorious day! Bright,
peaceful, eternal not darkened with clouds aud
tempests as are our days on earth. The light OF
that day is like unto a stone most precious even
like iasper-stone, clear as q crystal
"Tiere viN be no night there" No seasons
of weeping-of watchng-of death. All will
be peace. The conflict will be ended-the bat
tie fought-the victory won and the everlasting
portion of the soul will be u dwelling-place in
the New Jerusalem, where the glory of God
lightens it, and the lamb is the light thereof
NV SOU, grid thyself anew for the race. Bless
God that this earth with its intermingled lights
and shadows is not thy abiding place. Endure
meekly oil the ills of mortal life, rejoicing in
confident expectation of the glory to bsrevealed::
Let thy faith gain new strengthin the devout and
adorning contemplation OF that glory which Shall
be thy light forever.

By the latest dates from Utah, it appears
that the Mormon priesthood, feeling that their
influence is ON the wane, have secluded them
selves hoping thereby to beceme more mystic
rious and powerful. The feeling of the Nor
mons are evidently undergoing change, but
the leaders arc still hostile to the United States
authorities, and throw obstacles in their way.
They are also endeavoring to raise an Indian
war. Many of the Mormon people are in wretch
ed condition, and some of the women are with

RELIGION.


BY WILLIAM LEGGET.
Like snow that falls where water glido9,
Earth's pleasures fade away,
When melt in tides destroying tide,
And cold are while they stay
But joys that from Religion flow,
Like stars that gid the pight,
Amidst the darkest gloom of wo,
Smile forth with sweetest light.
Religions ray no clouds obscure,
But DER the Christians soul
1t sends its radiance calm and pure,
Though tempests round it roll;
His heart may break with sorrows stroke,
But TO its latest thrill,
Like diamonds shining when they're broke
Religions light is still!

DEAR SIR: 1t is the wish Of many old South Caro-
linians, though, not residents Of the good old
Palmetto State, to announced in your paper, the
name of the venerable Judge 0Nesll to f the place
Of the late lamented Judge Evans.
We think it no dspsragement to the honorable
men, whose names we have noticed to be brought be-
fore the Legislature for that distinguished station and
believe That they, (and hopo that all others would
with voice. by acclamation respond to the well
merited claim Of that noble old Csrolninn-now about
the last, but not the least of the =" "Mohcans." lie
needs no sulogy-" the tree is known by its fruit "
We do think he is the very man for the times-we
think ke could and would pour oil upon the troubled
waters nud say to the North give up and to the South
hold not back. And, from his high standing, his pu-
rity integrity, talents, and weight of character, his
voice could not f to have great influence and show
TO the nation that the old Palmetto State has still
yet who can maintain the high character of many Of
her distinguished and chivalrous sons now more.

PERlLOUS BALLOON ADVENTURE.

1t has been stated that two children acciden-
tally asccnded from Centralia, Illinois, Tuesday
in balloon. A professional Ironaut, named
Wilson, had Just before returned from q sue
cessful ascent. The Journal says:
After the graphing iron had been made fast,
Harvey, to am,lsc his children, one boy aged
about four years, and the other girl Of eight
years, placed them in the basket car and per-
mitted them to ascend several tunes as high as
the rope would allow. Unexpectedly the crap
pling iron slipped from the fathers hand, and
the balloon, with its precious freight, was waited
out of sight. The distress OF the parent knew
no bounds. The peril tf the children he con-
sidered imminent, for what assurance had he
that they wouli not be borne into some dense
forest, where they would he overtaken by hun
ger before they could be found, or perhaps de-
scend into some lake or stream, and be drowned
As soon as was possible, an extra was issued at
Centralia, and the whole neighboring country
placed on the alert to watch for the balloon and
children.
Saturday morning, at day-bfeak, a farmer
near New Carthage, forty-three miles distant
from Mr.. Harvey'S place, discovered the balloon
suspended in the air, attached by a graphing
rope, to tree in his yard. He Immediately
hauled the balloon down, and found the youngest
child awake in the bottom of the basket, and
the oldest carefully watching over her little
brother. They had been waited about by differ
ent currents of air throughout the night, and
had come to halt but little willie before they
were relieved.
The story the girl told was, that rs the bal
loon ascended, she cried piteously to her father
to pull it down. She said sue passed over a
town where she saw great many people to
whom she likewise appealed at the top OF her
voice. This place was Centralia. The balloon
was seen to pass over there, but the people lit,
tie imagined it carried two persons in such dan.
ger. Her little brother cried with cold, and
the heroic girl took off her apron, covered him
and got him to sleep. In handling the ropes
she happened to pull one which had the effect
of bringing the balloon down, and although moi
understanding the philosophy of the movement
she was quite content to keep the valve open
so long as by SO doing she found she approached
the earth.
The youthful aerial yoyagers were in the bal
loon about thirteen hours and quarter. II
may easily be imagined that among the neigh
bors where they landed they were the objects
of much curiosity and interest. The girls pre-
sence of mind and loving consideration for bel
brother may we'll enttle her to remembrance
while the incident itself was Of such remarka
bic character that we opine that it will not soor
be forgotten in that section.
The boy and girl were conveyed home al
soon as practicable, and it was needless Il
say were received with outstretched arms.

TIMES AMT AS THEY USED TO DE.-A gentle
man who resides in Western New York, tells
the following rich anccdote:
"A1any years ago the first settlers in this
country, then wilderness almost, were obliged
to take their grain one hundred and fifty miles
in wagons to Albany, to find market. The
roads were bad and travelling dangerous Three
of our farmers found purchaser for their loads
of wheat at Amsterdam, village some twenty
five miles west of Albany, and were glad to
dispose of it, and save themselves the travel.
They took an order on the bank at Amsterdam
for their pay, which was offered them'in silver,
but they objected to taking it, as it was too
heavy to carry, and they preferred the notes Of
the Bank. And here the laugh comes in. The
officers of the bank refused to give the bills,
because the farmers were going so far out into
the wilderness, the bills agould aeuer come back to
the bank again. The matter was finally COM
promised by the banks paying each one dollar
extra on their consentiDg to receive silver in
stead Of paper money"
