the travelling editor of the Utica Herald,

satisfaction to know that our light

Hon. A. H. STEPHENS, OF Georgia, in
recent address at a meeting in Alexan-
dria, for the benefit of the orphan asy-
lum and free schools Of that city, related
the following anecdote:
"a poor little boy, on acold night in
June, with no home or roof to shelter his
head, no parental or maternal guardian
or guide 10 protect or direct him on his
way, reacued at nightfall the house of a
rich planter, who took him in, fed, lodg-
ed, and sent him on his way with bless
ing. These kind attentions cheered his
heart, and inspired him with fresh cour-
age to battle with the obstacles of life.
Years rolled round Providence led him
on he had reached the legal profession !;
his host had died the cormorants that
prey on the substance Of man had formed
conspiracy to get from the widow her
estates. She sent for the nearest coun-
sci to commit her cause to him, and that
counsel proved to be the orphan boy
years before welcomed and entertained by
her deceased husband. The stimulus of
a warm and tenacious gratitude was now
added to the ordinary motives connected
with the profession. He undertook her
cause with a will not easily to be resist

were secured to her in perpetuity and, "
Mr.. Stephens added. with an emphasis of
emotion that sent its electrical thrill
through the house, that orphan boy

EDS. Co. GENr.-Last spring | advis-
ed number Of our farmers to try grow
ing potatoes from sprouts, from single
eve in hill, and from what would be
considered no eyes. One gentleman only
tried that l am aware of, Mr.. James +.
Adams, who like myself, is fond of all
new experiments. He selected three po-
tatoes, pared them, and planted single
eve in hill. From one hill he dug for
exhibition at our fair, thirty-two good
sized potatoes, medium and large. We
then pared second time the meat of the
potatoe, and cut piecss Immediately un-
der each eye, and planted one in hill.
and from one hill dug as before, and OBJ
tained sixteen fair sized potatoes. Per-
haps this may not be news to your read
ers; but it was to us here. The yield WAS
large per hill, no matter how planted.
and is great saving of seed and worthy
of further trials. The ground where the
first was planted was richer than the
other.

THE LITTLE FELLOW.

Some have thought that in the dawning,
In our beings freshest glow,
God is nearer little children
Than their parents ever know;
And that. if you listen sharply,
Better things than you can teach,
And sort of mystic wisdom,
Trickles through their careless speech.
How it is / cannot answer
But know little child,
Who, among the thyme and clover,
And the bees, was running wild
And he came, one summer evening,
With his ringlets DER his eyes,
And his hat was torn in pieces,
Chasing bees and butterflies.
"Now I'll go to bed, dear mother,
For I'm very tired of play !'
And he said his " Now lay me-"
In a kind and careless way.
And he drank the cooling water,
From his little silver cup,
And said, gaily When it's morning,
Will the angels take me up 7"
Down he sank, with rogueish laughter,
In his little trundle-bed,
And the kindly god of slumber
Showered the poppes DER his head.
"What could mea n his speaking strangely :?
Asked his musing mother then
Oh twas nothing but his prattle:
What could he of angels kenf'
There he lies-how sweet and placid
And his breathing comes and goes
(Like a zephyr moving softly)
And his cheek is like Il rose.
But she leaned her ear to listen,
If his breathing could be heard
"Oh |" she murmured, " if the angels
Took my darling at lis word 20

The Congressional Burying.Ground.

The Congressional burying-ground,
about mile east of the Capitol, is beau
tifully situated, and com mands fine view
of the surrounding country. 1t is very
interesting place to visit, particularly at
the autumnal season Of the year, when
the trees are shedding their leaves, and
the country is putting on its winter gar
ments. Here repose the remains, ur here
may be found the memorials, Of many a
brave, stout heart of many proud and
glorious intellect; of many a beloved and
influential leader. who, in yonder Capt.
tol, assisted in debate or toiled for the
welfare of his country. The custom is
to prepare marble slab, marked with
the name of the deceased Senator or
Representative. and to place it in an ap-
propriate spot in the cemetery, whether
the remains of the depart ted are permitted
to slumber beneath it or are borne to the
State in which, during life, he resided.
AS you pass through this city of the
dead, you can tell, from these stony me-
mentoes, the exact date of every death
that has been announced in Congress for
many years. 1t is the duty of the clerk
to cause these tombstones to be prepared,
aud it is mournful comment upon the
ambition which consumes so many proud
and daring minds. to mark the steady ad
ditions annually made to the long process

4 GOLDEN URN FOR A HEART
A STORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.

A few weeks ago, a prominent firm of
jewellers, doing business in this city, re-
ceived letter from Chicago, containing
the following curious order: The writer
said that he was worth some hundreds OF
thousands, and being desirous of max
ing his wife handsome present. wished
the firm to manufacture for him immedi-
atcly, a splendid golden urn, of the most
elaborate description, and large enough
to contain a human heart, as he intended
to place his own heart in it, and give it
to his lady as a keepsake !! The letter
wound up with a postscript to the effect
that as Messrs. might want some
proof of the writer's ability to foot the
bill, he begged leave to refer them to his
fatherin law, Mr.. -, of Chicago.
The jewelers. were quite non -plussed
by this singular order. for while, and
hardly knew how to act. The whole af-
fair looked like freak Of insanity but
so many men. acknowledged to be sane,
had INDUCED in ust such whims, that
they resolved to seek further information
on the subject The corresponding party
at once addressed letter to customer
in Chicago, desiring to find out if such
a man as the referee named in the order
really existed and if SO, whether he
was responsible party. In few days
the answer came, stating that there was
such person at the locality, and that
he was one of the merchant princes of
the western city. This almost satisfied
the New York firm that the order was
genuine. but they still hesitated to I'll it,
and finally wrote to the referee. and ask
ed his advice in the matter. The conse-
quence was that the Chicago merchant
came to this city at once, steam haste. to
prevent the filling of the order. He sta
ted that the person who gave it had in
deed been his son-in-law at one time, but
was then madman-and destined to be
placed in an asylum very soon. The old
gentleman went home, but scarcely had
he left when second letter came from
the sonin-law. complaining that the firm
had not acknowledged the receipt of his
order. and asking them whether they
would fill it, or oblige him to apply to
other parties. Rather provoked at being
subject to what they considered
a troublesome hoax. the jewelers. very
thoughtlessly wrote back to him that
they had detected his true character, and
write TO the Chicago authorities concern
ing him. if he played any more of his
crazy pranks upon them.
OF course the threat was vain one
but it had the effect to frighten the poor
lunatic. and by heightening his madness,
led him to commit ian outrage" that
brought him before certain portion of
the Chicago public. One evening. as an
dressed lady was in the act of
alighting from her carriage to enter
dry goods store, he suddenly darted to
the door Of the vehicle, and with a loud
cry, threw his arms about the neck of
the fair equestrian. The lady at first
look him for drunken man, but seemed
10 recognize him before she could cry for
help for she tainted before the coach
nan and bystanders could pull the man
away. The affair created great sensa-
Jon. which was heightened by tho mad

Keep Stock Warm.

Farmers generally do not pay sufficient
attention to the warmth of their stock,
but suffer them to roam about III the
open air exposed to inclement weather.
The amount of exercise is another most
important point to attend to. The more
an animal moves about, the quicker 1t
will breathe, and the more starch, gum,
sugar, fat and other respiratory elements
it must have in its food and if an addi-
tional quantity of these substances is not
given to supply the increased demand,
the fat and other parts of the body will
be drawn upon, and the animal will be-
come thinner also, as before observed,
every portion of the body produces COR
responding destruction of the muscles
that produce the motion 1t is, therefore.
quite evident that the more the animal
moves about the more of the heat pro-
ducing and flesh forming principle it
must receive in its food. Hence, we see
the propriety of keeping our cattle in
sheds and yards, and not suffering those
particularly which we intend to fatten)
to roam about consuming more food. and
wasting away more rapidly the various
tissues of the body already formed. and
making it more expensive and difficult to
fatteu them.
