Young Carder'S Case

In the case of William Casder
who had his trial before the U. S
Circuit Cour, in Nashville last week,
under an Indictment for embezzling
and destroying letters and stealing
articles of value from the mail in
this county, an account Of which
appeared in the Observer of the 18th
ult.. the indictment for stealing from
the mail was quashed, for the rea-
son that the articles Of value stolen
we're not specified and no owner
ship alleged. He was found guilty
of embezzling aud destroying letters
but on account of bis tender years
was recommended to the mercy Of
the court by the jury. lie was
sentenced to two months imprison.
ment in the penitentiary.
The punishment for stenling arti-
Giles Of value from the mail by car
rier or postmaster is not under ten
nor over twenty-one years impHson-
ment in the penitentiary, a severe
punishment founded on the necessity
of projecting the mails against the
depredatious of those entrusted with
their custody and conveyance.

Experience II Dear Teacher.

The Southern people, now see their ia
tai mistake in following the lead OF Van.
coy, Davis, Toombs, Keitt and other dis
unionists, who bolted the Charleston and
Baltimore Convention, and nominated
Breckenridge to bring about the very re-
suit which has precipitated the threatened
dlsunion of the Union, and given them a
plea for so doing in the election af the
father of the "irrepressible conflict" doc
trine, Abraham Lincoln. If the Nation
al Convention were yet to be held, with
the conspiracy of these Breckinridge lead
ers now emblazoned before them, Steph-
en- A. Douglas would this day, be the al
most unanimous choice Of the South, as
safe, conservative Statesman who would
respect alike all sections of the Union.-
While we find the Breckenridge leaders
and their papers in the South, without
exception, advocating secession from the
Union, every Douglas paper, and almost
every Douglas man in the South are put
ting forth all their energies to stay the
disunion tornado which has broken out
in the cotton States; and Judge Douglas
himself, has been using his most powerful
reasoning and eloquence by speeches and
letters to commercial men and politicians
to arrest the misguided fury of the disun-
ionists. TO him more than to any other
man, Notwithstanding their rancorous
abuse of him, do the Black Republicans
now look for the Inauguration of a pow
ertul conservative element which shall roll
back the dark clouds of disunon which
have already attained SO formidable
shape. We still have hopes, however,
for the perpetuity of the Union, through
the efforts of the National conservative
Democracy of the South, among whom
are Herschel V. johnson and A. H. Ste
phens of Georgia. Shield and Banner.

The Bible and our Feelings.

1t is perfectly marvellous what doct-
rines men will find in the Scripture. Is
there not something curious in the ca
paclty of the human mind, while glanc-
ing along the sacred volume. to find up
on its pages both what suits its prevailing
mood, and its firm conviction at the time?
You feel bouyaut and cheerful open your
Bible and read it; what cheerful, hopeful
book it is; you are depressed and anxious
you open your Bible; surely it was writ
ten for people in your present frame Of
mind! 1t is wonderful to what degree
the psalms, especially, suit the mood and
temper of all kinds Of readers in every
conceivable position. / can imagine the
poor suicide, stealing toward the peace
ful river, and musing on the verse of a
psalm. can imagine the joyful man,
on the morning ofthe wedding day. which
no malignant relatives have embittered,
finding verse which will seem the echo
Of his cheerful temper. And passing
from feeling to understanding. it is re-
markable how, when man is possessed
of any strong belief. he will find, as he
reads the Bible. not only many things
which appear to expressly to confirm his
views. but something in the tenor of what
he reads. that appears to harmonizs with
it,-Farmer's Magazine.

Making Fun.

Once when travelling in stage coach,
| met a young lady who seemed to be on
the constant lookout for something laugh
able; and not content with laughing her
self, took great pains to make others do
the same.
Now travelling in a stage coach is rath-
er prosy business. People in this stu
alton are apt to show themselves peevish
and selfish; so the young lady's good hu-
NOR was, for time. very agreeable to
travellers. Every old barn was made the
subject of passing joke, while the cows
and hens looked demurely on, little
dreaming that folks could be merry at
their expense.
After while ar old woman came run
ming across the fields, swinging her bag at
the coachman and in a shril voice beg
ging him to stop.
The good natured coachman drew up
his horses, and the good old lady coming
to the fence by the roadside, squeezed
herself through two bars, which were not
only in horizontal position but very
near together. The young lady in the
stage coach made some ludicrous remark
and the passengers laughed. 1t seemed
very excusable; for in getting through the
fence, the poor woman had made sad
work with her old black bonnet, and now
taking seat beside a well dressed lady,
really looked as if she had been blown
there by whirlwind This was Eew
piece of fun, and the girl made the most
of it, She caricatured the old lady upon
a card, pretended when she was not look
to take patterns of her bonnet. At length
the poor woman turned pale face to-
ward her.
MY DEAR" said she. "you are young
healthy. and happy; | have been SO too,
but that time is past, | am now decrepit
and forlorn, This coach is taking me to
TO the death-bod of my child. And then
my dear, will he poor old woman, all
alone in world where merry girls think
me very amusing object. They will
laugh at my old fashioned clothes, and
odd appearance, forgetting that the old
woman has spirit that has loved and
suffered and will live forever,
The coach now stopped before q poor
looking house, and the old lady feebly de-
cended the steps,
"llow is she?" was the first trembling
inquiry of the poor mother.
''Just alive" said the man who was
leading her to the house
Putting up the steps, the driver mount
cd his box, and we were upon the road
again. Our merry young friend had
placed her card in her pocket, She was
leaning her head upon her hand; and you
may be assured l was not sorry to see a
tear upon her fair young cheek. 1t was
a good lesson, and one which we hoped
would do her good

sight when the foremost party, led by
Pitcairn, a Ma or of Marines, was discov-
cred advancing quickly and in silence
Alarm guns were fired, and the drums
beat. Less than seventy-perhaps less
than sixty-obeyed the summons, and in
sight of half as many armed men, were
paraded in two ranks few rods north of
the meeting house.
The British van, hearing the drum,
and the alarm guns, halted to load; and
at half an hour before sunrise the advance
party hurried forwerd in double quick
time, almost upon run, closely followed
by the grenadiers. Pitcairn rode in front
and when within five or six rods of the
minute men, cried out: "Disperse, ye vii
lians; ye rebels disperse! lay down your
arms and dispersed The main part of the
countrymen stood m otonless in the ranks,
witnesses against aggression; too few to
resist, too brave to fly. AT this Pitcairn
discharged pistol, and with loud vaice
cried, "Fire!" The order was instantly
followed. first by few guns, which did
no execution, and then by heavy, close
and deadly discharge of musketry.
In the disparity of mbers, the com.
mon was field of murder, not of battle;
Parker, therefore ordered his men to dis
perse. Then, and not till then, did few
OF them. on their own impulse, return
the British fire. These random shots of
fugitive or dying men did no harm, ex-
cept that Pitcairn's horse was perhaps
grazed and private of the tenth regi-
ment was slightly touched on the leg.
Jonas Parker, the strongest and best
wrestler in Lexington, had promised hev.
er to run from British troops; and he
kept his vow. "A wound brought him to
his knees Having discharged his gun,
he was preparing to load it again, when
as stout heart as ever throbbed for free
dom was stiileG by bayonet, and he lay
on the post which he took at the morn
ing's drum beat. SO fell Isaac Muzzy,
and SO died the aged Robert Monroe, the
same who in 1853 had been ensign at
LoriSburg. Johnathan Harrington, Jr.,
was struck in front of his house on the
north of the Common. His wife was at
the window when he fell With the
blood gushing from his breast he rose in
her sight. tottered, fell again, then crawl
ed on his hands and knees towards his
dwelling; she ran to meet him, but only
reached him as he expired on the thresh-
hold. Caleb Harrington, who had gone
into the meeting house for powder, was
shot as he came out. Samuel Hadley and
John Brown were pursued and killed af-
ter they had left the green. Asiael Por-
ter, of Wobuln, who had been taken pris-
oner by the march, endeavoring to escape
was shot within few rods of the Com
mon.

From the Ohio Agriculturist.]
Hints on Green Manuriny,

A Pennsylvania wishes to know what
crop will afford a good bite for the COWS
in the Spring, and also answer to turn in
for wheat in the Fall? 1t is somewhat
difficult to pasture crop, and plow it un-
der the same time. One cannot very we'll
eat his cake and keep it too. Rye fur
nishes good feed earlier than almost any
other crop. But if one expects to make
manure of it it should be left to grow un-
til in blossom, and then be plowed un-
der. If fed through May and June, the
growth must be small, and not much
benefit will arise from plowing it under.
The better way in husbandry is to do one
thing at time, and do it thoroughly.-
If the land needs manure, and it is SO far
from the barn that fertilizers can not be
carted economically, it is brought into
good heart by turning in green crops when
this is done, we should make business of
it, and turn in two crops in season, or
one of full growth.
We may SOW Fall rye on the corn
stubble as is proposed by our correspond
ent, turn it in, in the last of June or the
first of July, and SOW buckwheat immedi-
ately, which will be fit to turn in the last
of August. Or we may sow clover in
the same way and follow with buckw heat.
This will give two full crops, and restore
very large mass of vegetable to the soil.
The rotation which our correspondent
mentions, viz, corn, oats, wheat and
grass, would be improved by one year in
potatoes or some other root crop. In
farming districts so near y good market
as Bucks county, Pa, we doubt very much
whether green manurng is economical
There ought to be steady and renumer-
ative demand for animal products-beef.
pork, mutton, veal, lamb, butter, cheese,
eggs, poultry, ETC., and every vegetable
should be consumed upon the farm, and
large quantities of manure be manufac-
tured to keep the land in highly pro-
ductive state. Where there is a good
MAJ ket for animal products, it is much
better economy to manure with animal
fertilizers, than with vegetable. Ifwhile
the ground is in corn and in roots, il is
manured with fifty or more loads half
cords ofgood manure, it will bear crop
Of wheat aud two or three crops of grass
without manure.
The best roots for feeding are carrots,
beets. mangel wurzel, and tnrnips; one or
all OF them, according to the circum stances
Of the farmer and one kind of stock kept.
These fed out TO stock with hay and grain
make large quantities ofmanure and keep
the land in good heart

THE SONG OF THE oLDEN HOME.
NJ R. 3. BENNINGTON.

There are echoing notes that often thrill
The heart with their magic power,
AS we seem again by the nurmuring till
Where We sported in childhood's hour
'Tis the loving song which n mother sang,
Fer sorrow the henrt had known,
1t is dear to me yet as when it FIRST rang
In the halls of the oldon home.
While the orient beams Of lire's young morn;
Witc their rainbow tints have fed
And the misty shadows Of sorrow and gloom
Der its pathway their darkness have spread.
Then sweeter than notes Of Eolian harp.
Or the evening zephyrs tono,
Comes the sweet refrain Of the olden time
And song Of the olden home.
Other tones may fall on the listening ear
With n cadence wild and free,
Other songs be sung which the heart holds dear,
But none like the homestead glee.
For the heart was in that loving song,
And the soul was free to roam,
Untamed by the fear of tho worlds gay thronR,
In the song of the olden home.
When far ndown times rolling stream,
Borne on by its restless power.
Me thinks twill come like the sunlight CLEAN,
Or the dow on the opening flower.
Though n father loved and n mother dear,
May have joined the spirit throng,
Still my heart will prize Il treasure raro
The song of the olden time
Then give me the song Of my boyhood days,
Let Inc feel its mystic power,
For it noodeth the soul with light whose rays
lluminc lfes darkest hour.
'Ts II blessed boon in the wide worlds strife.

Redeemed from the depths Of the ocean Of life,
