[STORY OF A RAILROAD ENGINEER.1

had 4 train Of ten cars-and all were well
loaded | was behind time and was very
anxious to make a certain point thus | was
using every exertiOn, and putting the engine
to the utmost speed to which she was capa-
bic. | was on a section of the road usually
considered the best running ground on the
line, and was endeavoring to make the most
of it, when conviction struck me that |
must stop.
\ something seemed to tell me that to 20
ahead was dangerous, and that | must stop
if I would save life. / looked back at my
train, and il was all right. l strained my
eyes and peered into the darkness, and could
see no signal of danger, nor anything beto-
kenIng danger, and there | could see five
miles in the daytime. | listened to the
workings Of my engine, tried the water,
looked at the guage, and all was right. l
tried to laugh myself out Of what | then
considered q childish fear; but like Banquo's
ghost it would not 20 down at my bidding,
but grew stronger in its hold upon me.
/ thought of the ridicuie l would have
heaped unon me if did stop but it was Of
10 avail. The con7iction-ior by this time

thought Of which had never entered my
mind, as it had never been used since had

PCLvERIzE THE MANUREs. Few farmers
comprehend the importance Of attending to
this item in the preparation of their stock OF
fertilizers. They are often carried to the field
in the spring, IN the cOaTsest form possible,
the hay and straw not fermented at all, and
the coarse clods carried into the yard last sum-
mer not broken. They are spread in this
state, and the large Jumps are plowed under
so that they are not Immediately available
for the sustenance Of plants. Plants feed
mainly at the extremities of the rOOtlets
through mouths too small to be seen by the
naked eye. The finer the manure is
made the more easily it is dissolved in water
and the sooner it passes into circulation.
This doubtless is one reason OF the almost
immediate visible effects of Peruvian guano.
1t has been passed through the digestive ap-
paratus of birds, and reduced to much
finer powder than it could be by any mocha
nical means. So small quantity as q hun-
dred pounds, spread upon an acre of now
ing in wet May day, will improve itss ap-
pearance in q very short time.

binations that take place in the soil. 1t
becomes much sooner available, aud the cul-
tiyator gets an earlier return for his invest
ment IN fertilizers.
Fortunately, at this season, VIC have a very
powerful agent that we can put to this work
if communion without any expense. The
frost, with fair chance to work, is better
than any clod-crusher or mill to powder q
compost heap. One of the best means oL
economizing frost for this purpose, IS 70 pow
up the yard whenever there comes a NAV ,
or say twice month. Every turning OF the
contents of the yard exposes new surfaces TO
the action of the frost. We have found 1t q
yerv profitable employment to fork over the
COMPOST heaps in the barn cellar, and IN the
cold during the winter. Where the heaps
are large, this can be done quite rapidly,
even in freezing weather; and the more it
freezes and thaws the finer it becomes. Heaps
thus turned and thoroughly beaten up with
a shovel, come out in the spring fine ho-
| mogeneous mass, good to spread and plow in
admirable for dropping in the hill, and first
rate for top-dressing grass land.-Amsr'oan

| laughter of a merry child. So infectious
was the merriment that Mr.. Roland uncon-
sciOusly laughed too, though unknowing
what he laughed at. With his hand upon
the balusters, he descended the stairs, feel
ing as if every step was on ''the baseless fab
ric of vision, and opened the door of the
morning room. Miss Rutherford, all duly
befounced and beribboned, becurled and be
coraled, and screaming with laughter. was
riding man-fashion on the back of Juno held
in her perilOus and rather uncertain position
by the strong arms of Uncle Herman while
Uncle Oliver, with his napkin tucked into
his button hole, and with bit Of sausage on
the end of fork, was on his hands and
knees trying to tempt the dissatisfed-lookIng
steed into brisker motion

standing just inside the door transixed with
Herman, remember the fur
bellows, fOunces, and what-do-y0u-call-ums! |!
beware of the ring-tailed baboon !"
"Oh, never mind her dress, gentlemen"
said the delighted nurse, charmed with the
attention bestowed upon her little charge.
"Never mind the ruffics; I'll see TO all that.
1t does my heart good to see her laugh 50 "a
darling have not heard her SO merry not
once before since her own dear papa died"
Little more remains to be told. The faith
full and goOd-tempered nurse (who, blythe
way, being a recipient of natures free b0un-
ty, and rather Dutch in her build, never
wore stif5ned skirts) made herself a general
favorite at Rutherford Place. She was an
able diplomatist, and gained the good Will of
the hOusekeeper by offering to clear-starch /
her caps whenever she got up Miss Ruthcr-
ford's dresses She won over the butler ny |
helping him rub the plate, and John by |
mending his shirts and darning his hose.
She never suffered Miss Rutherford to an
noy her uncles, or to be Ia their way but |
she was always on hand nicely dressed, when
ever they called for her. The little girl her
self, pretty, innocent, frank, loving, and
won her way quickly to all their
hearts. As Herman had laughingly said Of
the old woman and her calf, she glided so
gently from childhood to girlhood and
they scarcely marked the change
save by some newly-added charm or grace;
md, loving the child, they forgot their dread
Of her when she reached the period Of white

She found in he- uncles three most indul-

Roland ; rode and sketched, and gardened,

The report is that the commissioners of
the Southern ConfederacY," who are now
at Washington, are in dissatisfied state Of
mind. They, of course, want to be recosniz-
ed as officials of regular gOyernment-
which recognition, of course, they cannot
have. Even if their new confederacy were
authorized by the people of the ''seceding "
States, there would be no hope of their off
ciaI recognition by President LINCOLN. RE
will hardly be taught in his school. But to
make the matter worse for them, the fact is
that their new government, 50 called, is not
yet recognized in any formal way BY the peo-
pie a home. Here is what the Baltimore
American says on that very point
wanting then, in the essential point necessary
to the existence Of government, these self consti-
tuted rulers Of form Of government confesselly,
yet. neither ratified Tor accepted by the people
they claim to representa- government which
may, or may net, exist, as the people shall here
after decide-send commissioners 70 demand
cognition from our government before their own
people have recognized it Suppose for mo-
ment our government should comply with so
monstrous Il request. Suppose, afterwards, the
Southern people should reject the new confeder-
acy ? How ridiculous would be our position -
Might We not be obliged to sustain this formal
government We had recognized asainst the peo-
pie Or if this formal government were swept
from political existence, would il not be with
some humiliation We hereafter reinstated in eur
Union people who, but for our own act had
never been out ofit.'

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH %. 1861.

The talk is strong that an extra session of
Congress viii have to be called. Indeed we
do not know how 1t can be avoided. 1t is
evident that there must be authority given
to the Government to raise by enlistment or
volunteer engagements large force. to
check the progress of the rebels in the cot
ton States. The generalization of what few
troops the Government nominally has, where
they are under Southern officers, is 50 great
as to make them unreliable till there has
been thorough wedding out Of such Of
fcers IS are ready to tread their oaths of Of
fee and their commissions under foot, at the
call of what they consider State authority.
ind if the troops were all true, they would
not begin to suffice for the cxigenc;es of the
time. IF the rebellion goes on much longer
at the rate it has gone thus far, 100000 men
are more likely to be needed to que!l it than
a lass number.
