Every sinful outward word and deed. and
every secret thought aud purpose of the mind,
reacts upon the mind itself and leaves its
own impression there as upon AN inedacoable
tablet Aside from all the influence our sin
may exert upon others, it puts imperishable
impressions upon our minds

where's that log chain ~ asked Joe
Tuhbs of his boy Bill, as they were getting
tho team ready to draw a load of wood.
8" say. Bill. have you swallowed that
chain Never can find any thing when you
want IL. Why didn't you put it in its placer
Bill looked astonished, as II he had not
heard the same thing about some misplaced
tool every week of his life, and said very
mcokly: &C. didn't know it had any place IN
particular: ] thought / left It on the cart,
where you generally leave 1t.
The nct is Tubbs was a slovcn, and never
could lay bis hand on anything he wanted
and te added TO this sin, a cross grained,
nethml temper, that worried everybody with
whom be came In contact. The plows were
as often lcf in the burrows as elsewhere, and
lay out over Winter; the cart and wagon
stood under the old apple tree, by the road
side. the chains, yoke. and nose baskets,
sometimes brought up in the stable, some
times under the shed, again in the corn crib,
but uncner we're left with the cart the shov-
els. spades, crowbars, scythes, corn-kuiyes,
sicklcs, rakes, forks, axes, and other tools,
were scattered about the premises, generally
left where they were last used.
SO there was hunt of an hour, that morn
ing. in all possible places, for the log chain,
but IL didn't turn up. The oxen stood chew
ing their cuds philosophically waiting, as il
they were used to such delays. II was en-
tertaiuing 70 an outsider TO see Tubbs shin.
ming it from the barn 90 the shed, from the
shed 20 the corn crib. from the corn crib to
the cart, from the cart to the wood pile, scold-
ing as be went, and blaming everybody but
himself for the loss of his chain.
Look here, Bill, run over to noighbor
Jewctts and ask him 70 lend us a chain; must
have something to bind the load"
So Bill scuds to the neighbor's half mile
off, 60 borrow. When he made known his
Grand, Mr.. Jcwott replied p" 1t is rather
doubtful whether you can find such an article
in these parts. with draw upon the rather,
and q wicked kink in his eye, that squinicd
toward the sloyeuly habits of Joe Tubbs
However, be went out TO the barn, where
be showed a door that ran back upon little
wheels. and introduced Bill to good sized
room where there was nothing else but tools
There were the crow bars, three Of them Of
different sizes in one corner, the plows all
cleaned the hoes and shovcls hung up on the
sides, the rakcs overhead, the harness on
wooden pegs, and the chains hanging on cleats
and every thing IN its place, 80 that the own
er could lay his hand on it in the night, if il
were necessary.
Tho younger Tubbs got the chain, and a
new idea ct order at the same time. 1t broke
in upon his mind with great cloarness, that it
was nat necessary to spend hors every week
in looking up lost tools on in borrowing from
ndghbor. Tubbs. senior, may never build
tool house, and save his temper, but the
boy will learn wisdom In his p,esont school

- There is some quiet humor in an ad-
vcrtiscmcnt which was either in our own pa
per or another that we were looking over,
which stated that the article advertised--the
Magnolia balm" was not used by Marie
Antoinctto nor by Mrs. Adam. better known
perhaps as Eve 1t has come to be the
fashion TO put unpronounceable names to toll
ct Articles and ascrbe their discovery to a
period when but little knowledge of chemist
~ existed We are glad Messrs Hagan g.
Co. scout this nonsense, and say of their pre-
partitions that they are their own, the result
of study and experiment. No one article has
grown so rapidly in public favor, and GER
tainly no one has done so much to give the
people clean, wholesome faces as the Mag
nolia Balm This, together with Helm
streets Hair Restorative, and Royce 81 Ester
ly's Denhirice, are all that is needed for the

GOOD STOCKINGS FOR rur SOLDIERS

User The stockings furnished by the State
for the soldiers are Of the worse possible kind,
harsh, woven things, which the soldiers at
Fort Independence wore ont in heo days and
pronounce utterly unfit for service Now,
don't you think it would be fine plan TO sug
gest that all the women in the STATE who
would k it wooden socks. should be sure OF
of selling them. Old women in the country,
you know, are forever knitting and trading
socks at The village stores, aud some arrange
ment might be made to have the storckccpors
send them all TO some central depot 10 Boston.
Those are the only kind of socks fit to wear,
the knit ones,--and certainly our soldiers
should have the very best we can give

How TO LOAD THE RIFLE MusKErs.-
Some stupids down near Boston have been
loading the U. $. rife muslcts with cartridges
made of heavy paper, and finding that they
do not work well, complain of the rifles as
in fault. The fact is, that go paper should be
used iH ioadmg these arms; first the powder is
poured in from the cartridges, and then tho
ball is dropped on top, and will go home of
itself but gentle tap of the ramrod is useful
to I'LL the cavity of the ball with powder and
leave no opportunity for the gas generated
by the explosion to escape but behind the
ball The rifle musket is every way model
one, and can be loaded quicker than the old
fashioned smooth bore muskct with the round
ball. while it fires much farther and with
greater precision and force. Heretofore it
has been made with the Maynard PERCUSSION
pumer but nov these are abandoned, and
the plain percussion caps used as safer and
more sure. These muskets are now made at
the Springfield Armory at the rate Of 80 II
day, and early in June the production will
reach 100 a day.

IN CUH TVur.
The most important intelligence
received from Europe since tn.
commencement Of our war was thar
brought by the Canada, and was to
be found in our dispatches published
yesterdaymorning. The information
to which we allude, and which we
think is so important, is the follow.
lug:
Inthe House Of Commons, Mr.. Berl
asked whether England recognizes the
right Of New Granada to blockaG.
certain ports.
Lord John Russell replied that in
case OF rebellion government had
the right to close its ports; but in case
the ports; dctocfo, occupied by inst,r
gents they could not take that
step, according to international law.
1he british naval commanders.
therefore, are MOTTO recognize the clos
ing Of ports.
1t wlH be recollected that, in q de-
oate some weeks ago in the House OF
Loros, Lord John Russell stated thai
be recognizes the condition ofcivilwar
as eXlst.n" between the seeded and
,oyai States OF the United States
he now says that, in case of Il rebel
ion' "a government has the right 10
lose It's ports but in case of civil war.
which he says is our case-the 1;or1s
>c ttcto occupied by Insurgents as for
Instance, Charleston, Mobile, New Or
cans and Galvestoa-they (the gen
raj o., central government could an-
axe that stepaccording to internation-
/ law. And the dispatch adds -
i he british naval commanders there.
'E"' are not to recognize the closiu.-
/ ports.'
As the New Granada case is sx-
city parallel with our own, and az
lr own government has, in this very
'eW Granada case, laid down th,
Ir1rnHtlonal law TO be Just w.a-
'"rd ! ohm Russell says it is, we NAV
'iison&bly conclude as to what We,
lay expect from the British Govern
'eiii' when the necessities of cotton

'tton crop Of the seeded cotton
