From the Wisconsin Farmer.
The Short Hay Crop.

While almost all other crops have turn
ed out, or promise bountifully throughout
the West, the grass crop is uniformally re-
ported light, especially the cultivated
grasses upon the uplands and prairies pro-
badly not generally more than from one
third to one half crop.
Though not so serious loss as would
have been our wheat or corn crop, still
with our almost certainty of a long, hard
and cold winter. it is serious matter, and
one that should be provided against in all
practicable ways as etfectually and fully as
possible. And to do this every farmer
should save his straw as bright and good
as possible, and to be sure to stack it Sc
effectually as to keep it SO, beyond all per
adventure. Good oat or wheat straw
pro perly kept, and cut and fed as it can
and should be, to a stock, is absolutely
worth more than ordinary marsh hay, fed
without cutting. Of the truth of this
there can be no more doubt than of any
other proven fact.
Then another great and highly valuable
item that is too often wasted, is the corr
stalks and fodder. Properly saved, they
are even superior to any other forage RAISED
except it be good clover. They contain {
large amount of saccharine and starchy
matter, and when run through good feec
cutter, with the new patent crushing roll
ers, constructed not unlike animal teeth
as they roll together, reducing the previou:
hard corn stocks to broken soft anC
sweet mass, that is eaten with great avidity
and his highly nutritious. Prepared il
this manner, the very corn fodder of man,
large prairie farmers, would more than hal
winter their stock. Cut stalks, straw anc
hay, with proper sprinkling of Indian o
any other coarse meal or bran, will caus'
a stock and teams to thrive, in way tha
none but those who have tried it under
stand or appreciate. With the best ma
chimes of the present day for the purpose
the feed can not only be cheapiy and read
lily cut, but the grain can also be ground a
every good farmers barn, without matcgia
loss of time or much expense. We shai
publish we'll authenticated articles, betwee
now and winter, to show that such cuttin
and grinding, is an absolute saving of froI
one-fourth to one-third of all fodder an
feed, and that over and above all expense
of cutting and grinding. Meantime W
would say to all good and economical f,r
mers, save carefully all your straw an
coarse fodder. p.

Looking at the Bright Side.

Here is letter from a wife in Massa-
chusetts to her husband in California. She
don't intend going through this world with
the blues:
"My dear husband As it is now some
time since you left for California | suppose
that you would be glad to hear how We are
getting along in your absence. am hap
py to say we are enjoying very good health
on the Whole. Just at present two of the
boys have got the small pox. Amanda
Jane has got the typus fever. Betsey is
down with the measels. Samuel got hook
ed by the COW the other day, and little Pc
ter has just chopped off three of his fingers
with hatchet. 1t is mercy he didn't
chop them all off. With these tritling ex-
ceptions we are all well and getting along
nicely. You needn't be at all anxious about
US. L almost forgot to mention that Sarah
Matilda eloped last week with tin ped
dler. She needn't have taken the trouble
to elope though, for am sure was glad
enough to have her go.
She was great eater, and find that
baked beans don't go off near so fast as
they did. The way that girl would go in
to pork and beans was caution to the
rest of the family. The COW took it into
her head yesterday to run away; which
was very fortunate, | am sure, for the barn
caught fire last night, and was consumed.
Twas in hopes that the house would 90,
too, for it's very inconvenient; but the
wind was the wrong way, so it didn't re
celve much injury. Some boys broke into
the orchard the other day, and stripped all
the fruit trees. | am very glad of it, for
if they had not, [ presume the children
would have made themselves i'll by eating
to much fruit. Hoping you enjoy yourself
in California as well as We do at home, |
remain your affectionate wife.

General ia CkSOn,

Well do l remember the day | waited
upon him. He sat there in his armed
chair. can see the old warriors face
with his snow white hair, even now. We
told him of the public distress-manufac-
turer's luined-the eagles shrouded in
Grape, which were borne at the head of
twenty thousand men into Independence
Square. He heard US all. We begged
him to leave the deposits where they were
to uphold the great bank of philadel-
phia. Still he did not say word.
At last one of our number, more fiery
than the rest, itimated that if the bank
was crushed rebellion might follow.
Then the old mani think | see him
yet
"Come," he shouted in voice of thun-
der, as his clenched fist was raised above
his white hairs, "come with bayonets in
your hands instead of petitions, l am ready
for you all BY the Eternal with the
people at my back whom your gold can
neither buy or awe, [ will swing you up
around the capitol, each rebel of you, on
gibbet as high as Haman's"
When ! think of that one man standing
there at Washington, battling all the pow
ers of Bank and Panic combined, betrayed
by those whom he had trusted, assailed by
all that the snakes malice could hiss OF
the iends of falsehood could howl--when
| think of that one man placing his back
against the rock and folding his arms for
the blow, while he uttered his awful vow:
by the Eternal, l will not swerve from
the path | have chosenw | must confess
that the records of Greece and Rome, nay,
the proudest day of Cromwell and Napo-
leon-cannot furnish an instance of will
like that of Andrew Jackson's when he
placed his life, soul and fame on the haz-
ard of die, for the peoples welfare.

BRUTALITY IN THE ARMY.-Private Allen
son Bently, of Company K, 1st Dragons,
convicted of desertion and horse stealing
was sentenced by court martial, recently
in session at Fort Buchanan, "to receive
fifty lashes with cow hide on the bare
back to be confined at hard labor until
January, 1862, heavily ironed, to forfeit
all pay due him, to have his head shaved
and be branded with the letter ID, to be
drummed out of the service and receive a
dishonorable discharge" Such sentence
as this is disgrace to the army, and the
country, and the individuals who imposed
it ought to be driven out of the service as
unworthy to wear the United States uni
form.

A Thrilling Romance.
CHATTER I,

She stood beside the altar, with a wreath
of orange buds upon her head-upon her
back the richest kind o'duds-her lover
stood beside her with white kids and die
key clean-the last was twenty-one years
old, the fust was seventeen.
The parsons job was over-every one
had kissed the bride, and wished the
young folks happiness, and danced, and
laughed, and cried The last kiss had been
given and the last word had been said, land
the happy pair had simmered down, and
sought the bridal bed.

A COMPLETE OFFsETT-Here is the last
scandal item from New York:
A wealthy down town merchant found a
deficit of $4,000 in the account of one of
his clerks. He called the defaulter to &C
count and told him that if the money was
not at once returned he would arrest and
expose him. The clerk mildly informed
his employer that he reckoned he should
not return the cash, and concluded that he
had sufficient offset. "Offset." said the
merchant, "what do you mean by offset? p
: | mean my wife," returned the clerk.
Not another word was said about the
$4,000.

How TO DO 1r.--The Chicago Times
says that it once heard of Temperance
Society composed of twelve individuals, by
the rules of which three constituted quo
rum for business but it required the
unanimous consent of all the members to
entitle any one of the Society to drink.
Very frequently the members of this So
ciety would get dry, and when three or
four got together, they would hold a
"meeting" expel all the others, and thus
all the active members of the Society con-
curing, they would drink as much as they
wanted, and then hold another "meeting''
and re-elect the members.

IF 4 DIE FIRST.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

II die first, dear love,
Ny mournfal soul made free,
Shall git at Heavens high portal,
To wait and watch for thee
To wait and watch for thee, love,
And through the deep, dark space,
To peer with human longings
To see thy radiant face.
Mid all the stars Of Heaven,
One only shall sec
The earth star of my passion,
Half Heaven for holden thee
All heaven for holding thee, love.
And brightest Of all the spheres,
By thy sweet smile illumined,
Or hallowed BY thy tears.
II die first, dear love-
I feel that this shall be,
Fa heaven will not be heaven
Until it's shared with thee
Until it's shared with thee, love,
I'll linger a. the gate,
Or be thy guardian angel,
To teach thee how to wait.
And when thine hour shall come
And through the yielding night,
/ see thy happy spirit
Upsoaring, robed in light,
Mine shall go forth to meet thee,
And, through the eternal door,
Pass in with thee rejoicing,
Made one forever more.

CHAPTER II,

She stood beside the wash tub, with her
red hands in the suds, and at her slip-shod
feet there lay pile of dirty duds; her hus-
band stood beside her-the crossest man
alive-the last was twenty nine years old,
the fust was twenty-five.
The heavy wash was over, and the
clothes hung out to dry-and Tom had
stuck his finger in the dirty baLy's eye.
Tom had been spanked and supper made
upon crust of bread, and then the bride
and bridegroom went grumbling to bed.

The beautiful Eugenie was savage. She

The next day the mystery was disclos-

will--in contending against the powers
that were-but it broke the merchant
down. He had lost previously in foolish
speculations, and on his hands only the
house and few thousand he had managed
to save for his daughters portion The
widow offered Eugene home, however,
and she was too thoroughly humbled to
decline. She felt that it was useless attenp-
ing to earn her own living, for she had
barely smattering Of any essential knowl-
edge. She could play few tunes, she
bad painted a few landscapes, embroidered
a few lamp-mats-there her requirements
ended. Harry Bartlett, broken down and
conscience stricken went to California, and
there he died. Robert Southey married
Annie one year after the finding of the
will. And as to Eugene, she is always
reported engaged, but We tear will never
be married.

THE STOLEN SEcRET-Iron and SteeI-
There lived in Attercliffe, near Sheffield,
about t. year 1900 n matchmaker, named
Huntsman He was very much dissatisfied
with the quality of steel of which watch
springs were made in his day, and he set him
self to the task of thinking out the cause Of in
feriority. Mr.. H. consequently inferred that
the imperfection of such springs as came in
his way wss reterable 10 the fact of the irregu-
lar conversion or ratification of the metal of
their manufacture "If," thought he, 81 can
melt piece of steel and cast it into an ingot,
the composition of the latter should be regular
and homogeneous. He tried, and succeeded.
The fame of Huntsman steel became widely
spread, but the discoverer took care not to des-
ignate it by the name of cast steel, under which
it is now Familiarity known This Wds his Sc
cret.
About the year 1910 a large mandatory of
this peculiar steel was established at After.
cliiie. The process was wrapt in secresy by
every means which the inventor could com
mand None but workmen of credit and char
acter were engaged, and they were forbidden
TO disclose the secret of the mandatory by a
stringent form of oath. AT length Huntsman's
secret was stolen in the following manner -
One mid-winter night, as the tall chimney of
the Atterclifle steel works belched forth its
smoke, giving promise of a roaring fire with
in, traveller to whom the desire of placing
himself near roaring fire might seem a rea-
sonable longing, knocked at the outer door of
MIR. Huntsman's factory. 1t was bitter cold
night; the snow fell fast, and the wind-howled
across the moor nothing, then could seem
more natural than the tired wayfarer should
seek warm corner where he might lay his
head He knocked and the door was opened.
A workman presented himself whom the
wayiarer addressed, humby begging admis-
sion.
"No admittance here, except on business"
