Fifteen days passed. The act Of ces-

then transferred to that of Feodorwitz,
was fully authorized, and Sir James quit

He attempted to restore the million of
rubles, which was entrusted to him, not

whose only merit, he said, was success
but he could not resist the entreaty of

One terribly cold stormy night in bleak
December, United States vessel was
wrecked off the coast of Jersey, and ev-
cry soul, save one, went down with the
doomed craft. This one survivor Ia
Western gentleman) seized floating
spar, and washed toward the shore.
while innumera5le kind hearted tools of
the Camden and Amboy Railroad clus-
tered on the beach with ropes and boats.
Slowly but surely the unhappy mariner
drifted to land. and as he exhaustedly
caught at the rope thrown him. the kind
ly natives uttered an encouraging cheer.
i" You are saved" they shouted "you
are saved-and must show the conduc-
tor your ticket" With the sea still boil
ing about him. and floating straw still
tickling his nose, the drowning stranger
suddenly resisted the efforts TO draw him
ashore. Stop - said he, in faint tones
!" Tell me where | am? What country
Is this % And they answered, New
Jersey" Scarcely had the name been
uttered. when the wretched stranger let
go the rope, circulating as he did SO -
Il guess I'll float little farther" He
was never seen again.-N. T. Msremry.

The Coolest Thing on Record.

AS Gen. SCOTS army was marching
triumphantly into the city of Mexico, a
procession of monks emerged from the
gate Of a convent situated on the emf
nence TO the right, and advanced with
slow and measured tread until they met
the army at right angles. The guide or
leader of the procession was a venerable
priest, whose hair was whitened with the
frost of many winters. He held in both
hands a contribution box. upon which
there was a lighted candle, and when
within few feet of the army the process
sion halted. AS the army proceeded,
many true believer in ST. Patrick drop
ped some small coin or other into the old
priests box. And, when it was observed
that soldier was searching in his pock-
cts for something to bestow, the old
priest would step forward and hold his
box to receive the donation. Ultimately,
there came along a tall, gaunt, timber
sided, gander-looking Yankee, who, on
seeing the old priest, thrust his hands in
to the very depths of his breeches pock-
ct, as if in search for dime, or some
thing of the kind. The priest, observ-
ing this movement, advanced, as usual.
while Jonathan, holding forth a greasy
looking roll of paper, commenced very
deliberately unfolding it, The old priest
anticipated liberal donation, and put on
an air of most exquisite satisfaction.
Jonathan continued to uncoil piece after
piece of dirty paper, until at last he
found piece of tr-twisted smoking to-
bacco. He next thrust his hand into
another pocket, and drew forth a clay
pipe, which, with the utmost delibera-
ton, he proceeded to fill by pinching off
small particles of the tobacco. When
this was done, having replaced his tobac-
co in his breeches' pocket, he stopped
forward and lighted his pipe by the old
priests candle, and making an awkward
inclination of the head (intended per-
haps for a bow, J he said, Much obleeged
to We, Squire !" and proceeded on.

The Hut on the Vacant Lot.

We live in hut on q vacant lot,
Father, and mother, and L;
'Tis awayup town, and dreary spot,
With old stone quarries hard by
Father is lazy, and mother drinks,
And am ragged and thin,
And look like thief, for It's hard to be pure
When circled around with sin.
'Tis a desperate place, this vacant lot,
a reign of famine and woe
The laborers found strangled child
In the quarres not long ago.
And father is sometimes out all DAYS.
And comes staggering home at night
With money and things that he hides away,
For he never came by them right.
Mother is always at me TO steal,
And urges her plea with a curse
She tells me to sneak through the city crowds
And pocket watch or purse;
And father beats me because say
That I'd rather any day die;
| never have robbed and never will rob,
And III tell you the reason why.
There came to our hovel three years ago
A man with a sweet mild face,
And he held holy book in his hand.
That he tried to read in our place.
But mother swore at the mild faced man,
And drove him out of our den,
And tcld him never as long as he lived
To darkcn her door again.
But something made INC follow the man,
think he beckoncd to me,
And he led me down to a uuarry's cleft
Where none Of my people could see;
And he read to me things from the holy book
That | never had heard before,
And somehow peace came over my heart,
And it didn't feel so sore.
They may curse and beat me as much as they
like,
know what they don't know,
know that things in the end come right
For those that suffer below.
No matter how ragged and hungry am,
With no one to like or to love,
know there's vacant lot for me
In the beautiful land above.

Danger in New Quarter-.-An Ohio
Town Out for Secession.

The Bucyrus Journal, published in
Crawford county, in that State, is out
against the Government of Ohio, in Bu-
cyrus, and in favor of confederacy OF
her own. The cause OF grievance is stat
ed as follows:
1t refused to locate the capital at Bu-
cyrus, to the great detriment of our real
estate owners.
1t refused to gravel the streets Of Bu-
cyrus, or even relay the plank road
1t refused to locate the Penitentary
at Bucyrus, Notwithstanding we do as
much toward filing it as any other coun-
ty.
1t refused to locate the State Fair at
Bucyrus, thus blightng the hopes of our
free independent, and patriotic peanut
verders.
1t located the Ohio Canal one hundred
miles east of Bucyrus.
We have never had Governor, not
withstanding we have any number of
men as superior to the hoary old dotard
who now fills that post, as the bright.
refulgent sun is to a tallow candle.
Ditto, ditto, ditto, as to United States
Senator.
1t has enticed our citizens away BY
making them Supreme Judges as soon as
they get out Of the county
1t has compelled us to pay, year after
year, our share of the State taxes.
1t puts US in the Congressional district
with Ottawa county.
No citizen of the county has ever been
to any place where theft is pos
sible, thus wilfully keeping capital out of
the county.
1t selected Senaca county for two terms
for State Treasurer, thus making sure Of
having the Treasury cleaned out.
1t has stigmatised our county as the /,
g mud county"
1t refused TO pay our railroad subscrip- |
ton, and has never offered to slack water
the Sandusky river.
These are but very few of the griev
ances we have submitted to. We could |
stretch out the list indefinitely, but these
are sufficient. We will no longer sub
NIT. The storm is rising. Companies
Of two-forty pien are beng organized in
every township. Our Representatives
have agreed to resign next March. The

1t was the epoch of the Congress of
Vienna, when the fate of half Europe was
decided amidst pomps and festivities
without rival in modern history. Tour
naments, carousals, masked balls, thea
tres, and operas, horse racing and gam
ing, regattas and illuminations, fire e-works,
everything which the imagination could
devise, was employed for the amusement
of these kings taking holiday" Amid
the programme of festivities prepared by
the Imperial Committee, there figured a
stag hunt, and the woods in the neigh
borhood of Schenbrunn were gay with
the vast crowd assembled to witness or
participate in the sport. One person
alone, elegantly dressed, and mounted on
a highbred steed, took no part in the
amusement of the day. His eyes were
intently fixed on Sir James Rally an
Englishman, noted for his wealth, his &C.
centricities, and his passion for play he
followed him wherever he went, and
seemed to wish to attract his attention.
What does this mean p said Sir
James TO himself. Twice my eyes have
encountered this young man, he has

the sympathetic interest which the plea

had inspired.

James with some hesitation, not knowing

young man. 1t is my only hope. If /

When the United States army started
for Utah, there was a scarcity of trans
portation, or, in other words, too few bag
gage wagons. Now every soldier knows
how like the apple of ones eye are these
same baggage-wagons, drawn as they
are by six mules, on the long marches
across the plains.
A colonel of dragons. who had COM
mand Of one of the columns, restricted
the officers very much in their allowance
of baggage, and was most bitter if any
one tried to exceed the just amount.
One morning the colonel met one of
his captains "a dragoon, of course J, when
he burst out as follows:
Captain, do you know what these ar
tillery officers want to take across the
plains ?"
a. No, colonel, l do not" said the cap
tain, with an inquiring look.
Well" said he, if you'll believe
me, there's one of 'em wants to take across
4 box Of books"
Books y exclaimed the captain;
3" what next, | wonder! Now, colonel,
have but little to take across myself
nothing, in fact, but barrel of whisky"
"Of course, captain, Of course any
thing in reason, anything in reason j, but
the idea of carrying parcel of books
across that stretch is little more than |
can stand"

ADVANTAGES OF THE DRILL IN SEEDING
GRAIN OVER BROADCAST SOWING.


The experience Of the farmers of England,
and other portions Of Europe, in the seed Of
small grain, has long since established the
advantages of this method Of seeding. In
deed, the English farmers are not satisfied
with the great advantages Of the drill over
broadcasl sowing, but they even go 10 the
still greater expense Of dibbling in the seed
by hand, in order to secure greater Uniform
ity in the depth and manner Of depositing
the seed. But in our country the low price
Of land, and the scarcity Of labor require
that we should adopt some more expeditions
method Of seeding, and at the same time Sc.
cure the greatest possible benefits, over the
primitive method Of scattering the seed pro-
miscuously over the land, without regard TO
depth or distance.
In broadcast sowing, one-eighth to one
quarter Of the seed is lost by being either
covered too deep. or by not being covered at
all, and liable TO be picked up and deyoured
by birds, &C., before it begins TO yegetate.
Seed deposited SO irreguiarly, exposes the
plants to injury from drought, as well as to
the action Of frost in heaying the roots out
in winter. The various improvements made
in the grain drill have rendered il quite per.
feet, SO much SO that any required quantity
Of seed may be dropped upon an acre. and
at the same time at a uniform depth. The
action Of the drill upon the land leaves the
ground in the best possible condition to pro-
tect the crop during winter from the washing
rains and the injurious action Of frost. Run
ming the drills north aud south, when practi-
cable, secures another great advantage in
giving free access Of sun and air, aud thus
in great degree checking the tendency to
rust.
Besides the saving in the amount Of seed
sown, IL has been ascertained that on most
lands the drilled wheat will yield from three
TO five and more bushels per acre over that
which is sowed broadcast in similar soil.
Take the number Of acres OF land sown to
wheat in any one State, and estimate the gain
BY this method Of seeding, and il will amount
Y TO millions Of dollars annually, enough tC
] purchase a drill for every farmer in the
State, and then leave a large surplus besides
i Among the many improvements recently
made ln The grain drill, we cannot recon
mend one over another. Bnt il is better I,
! buy good one, at almost any cost, than 4
+ receive poor one as gilt, and SO Oi any
other implement or machine. We nigh
4 have said IN order TO use the drill, with sue
cess, the land must be we'll preplred, and al
the weeds aud rubbish must be turned un
der. below the action OF the drills. A thor
ough preparation Of this kind more than pay
for the labor bestowed, in other respects.
Every farmer who has ten acres Of land /,
