A Quaker's S Retaliation.

In certain English parish Quaker bar.
Der received some time ago a note for church
rates, five shlIings and sixpence. He called
upon the clergyman Of the parish, and said
Pray, friend, what dost thou mean by this
note?'
'Mean! why, it is for the church rates
don't you sec?'
Yes, friend; but what is that for p
why, for TIE repair of the church, and
for the maintenance of public worship, to he
lsure.'
'Wel', friend, but wha. have to do with
that? don't attend thy church 2
ooh, that don't signify the church is als
ways open, and It's your own fault Nyou
don't come. Besides it's the law, ana you
must pay
Well, friend, take leave to tell thee that
l think that a very unjust law that obliges
me to pay ministry aud religion which |
do not attend. Fare thee well.
A few days afterwards tho barber, by way
OF strengthening accounts with the parson,
sent his reverence a note Debtor TO limo
thy Salters, for shaving and har-cutting five
shillings and sixpence.' The receipt of this
note by the parson very quickly brought him
to the shop in no good humor either.
What do you mean by sending me this
bill You never cut my hair or shaved me
in your life
Nay, friend; but thou knowest my shop
is always open, and it is thine own fault if
thou dost not come to be shaved

I am Weary.

Thus sghs the child, as returning home af
ter the SPORTS of the day. he throws himsel
into his mothers arms, and sinks down in a
quiet slumber, slumber OF which childhood
onl y knows the sweetness. He has been sport
ing all day among the flowers, or in the z and
old forest beneath the shade of the leafy
trees, with the birds and butterflies, as happy
aud careless as they. Sleep on, sweet cnlld
Thou art happier now than thou will ever be
when minglng in the stern realities Of life
Now is thy pathway strown with flowers and
life is all joyous dream. Soon you will have
no mother to share your sorrows and soothe
your wounded breast, and impart consolation
in the hour of sadness, for that sainted being
you now call I" Mother," will DC sleeping be
meath he silent cod.
" l am weary" exclaims the student, and
throwing his books aside ho salies forth into
the field or forest to commune Win Nature.
There he finds in the pensive evening hour,
the purling brook, the leafy trees, and deep
blue sky rest for the soul and relief from
the abstiuse studies which have engrossed lis
mind. There he finds in Natures teachings
something that lifts the suu into purer and
better atmosphere.
6" 1 am weary is the language of the
aged man. Yes, weary of earth aud its fol-
bIes, and we'll he may be. Long has he lived
to bless mankind, and has mingled for time
in the various walks of life, and tasted as
much o! earthly JOY as commonly falls to the
lot of man. Yet he truly testlfes with one
of old that 4" All is vanity" He is longing
for land where there is no wearness; wher-
he can bathe forever in that unbounded sea oil
love. Calmly he passes away to the better
land, that cline of inehabIe glory where
" pleasures ne'er de- There is rest from
the vexations of lite, for whero the Savior
reigns supreme no thought Of we4rincss can
ever come. e. L. A.

PRICE, TWO CENTS.
Raising Indian Corn.

The English grains all yield better in our
codest summers And the grasses grow as
We'll in cold seasons as in the warmest Po-
tatoes also and turnips, are mover thankful
tor hot seasons. They all seem to want wet
rather than hot weather.
But corn must have heat, or not produce
we'll. When thoroughly titled it bears dry
weather better than any plant-but it cannot
stand the cold.
The English grains must be put into the
ground before corn, yet we must be preparing
for putting both classes into the ground as
soon as the soil is fit to receive them. Late
planting is attended with too much risk, and
prudent Farmers will not plant their corn late
When they can avoid it.
1t is true that large crops of corn are often
grown when the planting takes place in the
last week Of May. In some cases we have
no doubt that corn pla9ted after the Goth of
May has yielded as well as it would if it had
had been planted during the first week of The
same month but, though it is often rena ked
that corn, planted late in the eason,produces
more than that which is planted early, we
ought to onsider that in cool summer we
cannot expect corn to ripen so we'll when
planted late in May.
The last season was not a real corn season.
1t was not quite hot enough to ripen corn
well which was planted late.
The season was pretty good one for veg.
etable growth. and corn that Wal planted on
suitable Soils in good season, produced quite
well the growth was good and the cars filled
out to the end.
But corn that was planted late in May did
not ripcn WE'LL And though the frost held
off till the very last of September, the wealth
er was not dry enough to fit the corn ears for
binniDg and many ears were found to be
mouldy at the butt, and not worth half price
Of good corn
1t is not prudent, therefore, to plant, late
though we sometimes have good crops when
the season j. quite hot and faroggbIe tc corn

A lew months ago a young Swiss theologi-
cal student was travelling amid the Pledmon-
tese valleys. Bad health had sent him from
home but the balmy wind and genial sky Of
Italy had failed to exercise their healing pow
ers upon him, and the young man felt heavy
at heart. He was on the eve of entering on
his field of labor, when torn away from it by
illness and It seemed to him SAT his days
we're truiIessIy spent in search Of health.-

UNIoNIsM IN NORTH CARoLINL.-A cores
pondent of the Boston Traveller, writing from
Salisbury under date of 18th inst, commune
Gates the following interesting information;
Your readers will probably have heard, be-
fore this reaches you, of the successful move
ment by which several Union Congressman
have been elected from North Carolina. The
fact must rejoice the North, and all friends of
the Union and the Constitution every where.
Four members are known to be elected, and re-
turns are looked Tor showing the election of
others. The voting was done upon the regular
day prescribed by statute-the first Thursday
in August, and was conducted in due form and
manner.
Prudence, of course, suggests the non-pubi.
ton of their names at present, for, although
safe enough among their friends at home, The
gentlemen might be subjected to annoyance or
arrest in passing through Tennessee or Virgin
ia to Washington. II is proper 10 say, how
ever, that they are among the first men of the
State, and to some OF them Congressional hon.
ors are nonew thing. This is great triumph,
in view of the systematic suppression Of free
speech or popular expression. which has been
adopted as the policy of secession throughout
| the South.
