the coach made slippery by rain and sleets she
slipped and would have fallen had not caught

Comforts 70 Cows.

Now that the cold season is setting in, let
the cows, especially the miIss giycrs, have an
needful attention. They sIrUSAGbe' VEL housed
and well fed. The stables should be just mod

Sffe6 with suitable bedding. Aside from the
mere matter of food and drink, the animal
should be kept comfortable. This Rsatt6r enR

the election of Lincoln, which fusion Journals

as the principal cause of the pending Seces-

oracle of Southern opinion, who assigns to it
very subordinate part in his drama of dis
union. lie shows, beyond all eavil, that the
triumph of the Republicans in the Presden-

simply as an opportune OCCASION, for pfecipi-

the Cotton and Sugar States from the Union,

FAULT FrNnING.

1t is one Of those things that are monstrous

go out like a street'sweeper, or universal
scavenger, to collect the faults and failings OF
people, to carry these things abroad as if they
were cherries or flowers; throw them out Of
your bag or pouch, and make them an even
ing repast or a noon-day meal, or the amuse-
ment of a social hour, enlivening by unfeeling
criticisms, heartless jests, and cutting sar-
casnls to take man as you would chicken,
and gnaw the flesh from his bones, and then
lay down, saying, with fendish exultation
