Biz lSriudIe.

In Nashville, many years ago, there re-
sided a gentleman OF great hospitality,
large fortune, and, though uneducated,
possessed Of hard knot sense. Colonel ".
had been elected TO the Legislature, and
had also been judge Of the county court.
lis elevation, however, had made him
somewhat pompOus, and tie became very
fond Of using biz words.
On his farm he had i large, mischievous
OK called Big Brinule, which frequently
broke down his neigh bors fences, and
committed other depredations, much to
the coioneis annoyance.
One morning after brea kf,lst, in pres.
ence OF some large gentlemen, who had
stayed with him over the night, and were
now on their way TO town, he called his
over.cer, and said TO him:
Mr.. Allen, | desire you to impound Big
Brindle, in order that may have no more
animadyersions on his eternal depreda-
tons
Allen bowed, and walked off, sorely
puzzled 10 know what the colonel meant
SO after Col. W. left for town. he vent
to hi, vile and asked her what Col "
meant by telling him to impcund the OK.
Why, said she, the colonel meant 10
put him In pen.
Allen left TO perform the feat-for il
was no iGconsidoraOlc one, as the animal
was very wild and yicious-apd, after a
great deal of trouble and yeXat!on, sue
ceeded
Well said he, wiping the perspiration
from his brow, and soIiloquisinc, this IS
impoundirg, is 1T? Now, IN dead sure
the old colonel Will ask me if have I'M
pounded Big Br;ndle, and ! II bet II pdz-
Z!e him a5 bad a. he did me
The next day the colonel gave a dinner
party; and, as he was not aristocratic,
Allen, the oyer.eer, sat down with the
company
After the second or t'irl g,a-4 was dis
ct'ssed, the coioue! turned 10 the overseer
and SAID
"Eh, Mr. All,n, did you impound Big
Rrindic, sir!
Yes. did; but old Biindle transcend
cd the impannel OF the impound anG

Of the forest.
The company burst into an immoderat,
tit Of laughter, While the face of the co!
onel redeemed with discontinue

that Brinaie being pro Ornost.cated with a.
idea OF the cho!ery, ripped ana tarcd

This was too much. The company roar

dental designs of such awful cal,nities
Let them remember that unless rightly
applied to the publication of the sins and
iniquities of a people, the deep wounds OF
war will leave pestiferous ulcers, and gang
rsnes and fostering cruel sores, which Will
ensure the slow but final destruction of
the nation itself Let the immense sac
rifice now called for purge the national
heart, and tone it up to the conviction OF
some higher good than mere greed and
money making,-somc nobler excellence
than mere material prosperity. Let honor
and truth and integrity once more revisit
the high places of the land. Let the
people learn that in exercising their choice
Of the individuals who are 10 WELD those
powers, they must act in full responsibility

Let each section of the country-even, if
it must be, in bloody war-learn to know,

the letter Of the Constitution under which
we have SO long lived in peace and happi-
ness, be once more restored. And above
all, let it be remembered that the blessing
of the Prince Of Peace is not upon the
battles of earth and garments rolled in
blood but that his gentle lips have said :
blessed are the meek: for they shall
inherit the earth.
Blessed are the merciful: for they
shall obtain mercy"
Happy-if any can be happy in these
dark days-is he whose conscience re
proaches him with having contributed
neither in thought, word, vote, or deed,
to the misery that now convulses the
land Happy,-thrice happy,-those whom
Providence shall make the instruments of
once more restoring the reign of Peace !;
who shall, like the Dove, bring back the
olive branch over the subsiding waters Of
this deluge Of woe
Blessed are the peace-makers for they

On this subject a correspondent Of the
P.dirie Farmer writes IS follows:
There seems 70 bc a disposition among
the farmers of the West to be- taken with
hog-ie.er; when pork sells at FIVE or six
dollars per hundred, and corn at fifteen or
twenty cents a busEel, men think they
only need h.gS in order to - OK rich. But
they forget 10 remember that If every one
had hogs enough TO cut up Their com, pork
would be low, and corn bear Il high price
Some few years ago, many men, in tatten-
Jug the hogs they had already raised, fed
more corn than the hogs were worth, leav
ing them nothing, or worse than nothing,
for raising them. A great many men con
cluded that hogs were nuisance, and sold
OIL their stock. We are just now in dan
ger of reaching the other extreme: and
some men who are now paying FIVE cents
per pound for stock hogs, may discover.
when they come to sell pork next winter,
that they have paid little too dear fer
their whistle. | think the prospect OF
corn bringing paying price next summer
is as good as the prospect Of pork Keep
your shirts on, gentlemen, and farm little
eff everything, and sell nothing for less
than its average cost, and farming wW pap
NY wheat in this latitude and longitu ie
has ayarased 10 cents per buslcl when
threshed, for the last six years; my corn
about IS or 20 cents per bushel. | have
not taken enough notice of what my pork
has cost to speak of it with any degree o!
certainty. / should think, however j.
could be raised here at profit when it
brings four cents per pound net, bnt it re
quires pasture to raise it at that price.
As long as cattle can run on outside
pasture, and you do not keep more than
one head TO every two acres of small grain
and corn that you rase, cattle will pay
even at two or three cents per pound, Oft
the grass. When fattened under other
circumstances, less favorable, cattle are
improbable servants. Horse raising re
quires large capital, to go into very ex-
tensively, but pays pretty well, provided
YOU can sell for cash.
