The Only Path to Peace

Al last all sides seem to agree that the
only path to peace is through the bloody
waste Of war. The strongest alone can sue
ceed tbs not diplomacy, but strength and
the sword, which can adjust this stupendous
problem. The European nations, England
chiefly, now see this thing as we present it.
The rebels boldly refuse to accept any other
umpire but that offered by the victor on the
battle field and the loyal people Of the
United States having SO much to lose, and
having offended the seeeders and traitors SO
little-indeed in no one wrong that can over
be respectfully charged, not to say decently
proved these same loyal people viii never
consen. to compromise or barter away any
one Of the franchises, great or small, which
attach to a Government based upon the pop
ular voice, and for nearly eighty years the
source Of unending blessings to all the hun.
ted races of men. There is therefore a sort
Of unanimity on this question among those
directly interested. The seeding and ad.
herring States desire peace, and finally see
there is only one way to achieve it. II is
true that the aggressive party would gladly
consent to adjustment on the basis Of q rec
ognition of their treason-s condition which
is Indignantly rejected by the other and un-
offending party, which, in turn, offers as its
preliminary to peace, submission to the Fed
eral authority. Rather than this, say the
leaders Of the rebellion, come pesti!ence and
famine and the thirsty sword. The day for
describing the horrors Of fdisunion has passed.
They are felt by all mon in the horrors Of
secession. and we fight against the first be-
cause we know they must be more fearful
than the last 7ls through the forcibls rem
edy of Fernando Wood or John Van Buren.
or il tho next Presidential election came of
tomorrow instead of two years hence, Abra-
ham Lincoln should be superseded in the
Presidency, the New Federal Executive
would be compelled to wage this war for the
restoration Of the Union and tho punish
ment Of tho rebellion with rosistless deter
mination to the bitter end. So that the path
to peace and to . restoration Of the Union is
either through the bloody waste Of war, or
by means of that submission to the Federal
Government which must resuls when the
Southern people are convinced that the
President is determined to prosecute it un-
compromisingly to the close.

We want a religion that goes into the
family, and keeps sse husband fion being
spiteful when the dinner is late, and keeps
the dinner from being late-kceps the wife
from frctting when the husband tracks the
newly washed floor with his muddy boots,
and makes the husband mindful Of the
scraper and the door mat keeps the mother
patient when the baby is cross, and keeps
the baby plcasant-amuses the children as
well as instructs them--wins as we'll as gov
erns--prcjects the honey moon into the
harvest moon, and makes the happy hours
like the eastern fig tree. bearing in its bo-
som at once the beauty of the tender blossom
and the glory of the ripencd fruit. We
want a religion that bears not ONLY on the
"sinfulness of SIM" but on the rascality Of
lying and stealing--a religion that hanishes
small measures from our c,unters, small
baskets from the stall, pebbles, from the cot
con bags, clay from paper, sand from sugar,
chickory from coffee, beat-juce from vine
gar, alum from bread, hard from butter,
strychnine from wine, and water from milk
cans.
The religion that is to advance the world
will not put all the big strawberries and
peaches at the top, and all the bad ones at
the bottom. 1t will not offer more baskets
Of foreign wine than the vineyards ever pro-
duced bottles-and more barrels of Genne-
see -four than all the wheat fields Of New
York grow and all her mills grind. 1t will
not make one half of pair of shoes Of good
leather, and the other Of poor leather, so
that the first sha II rebound to the makers
credit and the second to his cash. 1t will
not let piece Of velvet that processes to
measure twelve yards come to an untimcly
end in the tenth, or spool Of sewing silk
that vouehes for twenty yards be npped in
the bud at fourteen and half-nor the cot
ton thread spool break to the yard stick fifty
of the two hundred yards of promise that
was gwen to the eye-nor all.wool s.delaines
and all-lincn handkerchiefs be amalgamatel
with clandestine cotton--nor coats made Of
old wooden ysss pressed together be sold to
the unsuspecting public for legal broadcloth.
1t does not put bricks worth only five dollars
per thousand into chimneys it contracted to
build of seven dollar materials-nor snug
gle white pine--nor daub ceilings that ought
to be smoothly plastered nor make window.
blinds with Stats that cannot stand the wind,
and paint which cannot stand the sun, and
fastenings that may be looked at but are or
no account to be touches. The religion
that is to sanctify the world pays ITS debts.
II does not consider that forty cents return.
ed for one hundred cents given,is not accor-
ding to Gospel, though it may be according TO
law. 1t looks upon man who has failed in
trade and who continues to live in luxury
as THIEF It looks upon man who prom
ises to pay city dollars on demand with in.
terest, and who negocts to pay it on de.
mand, with or without interest, as liar.

Use More Corn i'm Cooking.

Will the ladies please look moment at
the Market Report, and note the difference
in the selling price Of bushel of Indian
Corn. In the New York market, at the
time Of this writing, the best white wheat is
quoted at 81 AZ per bushel the best corn
at Ga cents per bushel. Now we hesitate
not to say that, after grinding and bolting, a
bushel of corn viii furnish fully as much
solid nutriment as bushel of wheat that is
81 expended in corn will buy as much nu
triment as $3.50 expended in wheat. As
tho'coast Of transporting buShel Of corn is
about the same as for bushel of wheat, the
difference in favor of the corn is much
greater Mt the West. Thus, at a point dis.
tant enough to make the coas. for transpor-
ting a bushel ~ cents-a difference Of near
ly six to one in favor Of consuming corn and
selling wheat.
Another fact should be remembered. Eu-
ropeans want all the wheat We can spare,
and viii pay fair price for it. As they
haze grown little corn, they have not vet be
come accustomed to its use. And still fur.
ther, corn does not bear transportation in
ships as well as wheat, which operates
against large exports of the former. Corn
contains more oily food than wheat, and is
therefore quite as well adapted for food dur
ing the six or seven colder months of the
year, when heat producing food is required.
The only difficulties in the way of the more
general use of corn, is the prejudice against
it, ami the comparatively little attention give
en- to the best modes of cooking it in pslata-
BILE. disestible food. We again urge "u
fair readers to look into this matter. Try
different recipes, until some or more meth
DDS are found which provo platable to the
family, and are economical withal. Some
of the methods of cooking corn meal in vo
que, require considerable almixture of
eggs, milk, ETC., which diminishes the econ
omy, though it is to be remembered that a
larger application of butter. or gravy. is re
quire on good wheat bread than on good
corn bread. As rule. the butter in fam
ily costs more than the -four. In the Amer
ican Aericulturist for January and Febru
ary Of this year l1S6al, may be found over
hundred different modes Of cooking corr
meal, including the prize recipes. Now tina
cold weather is approaching. we urge oul
readers to turn back to those directions and
see ifthey can not select some methods by
which they may largely increase ths use
the moro economical corn in their families

An AdrOit Fraud ON the Gov.
~ ernmeNl.

Several enterprising fellows in Connecti-
cut have gone into the collection and restor-
alton of old postage stamps on large scale.
One of their modes Of procedure is to visit
unsuspecting clergymen in needy circum-
stances and state that as matter Of cIriosi-
ty they desire to procure million postage
stamps, for which they will give two humid
red dollars. The minister thinking it worth
while to make an effort for the two hundred
dollars in these times, opens his files Of let
ters and carefully cuts off the stamps; sets
the Sabbath school childerE at work IN all
the country around, and eventually earns
his money. In one instance the girls in .
boarding school were set at work collecting
stamps, With the understanding that the
money obtained for them should be devoted
to Q certain object Of benevolence, and they
were very industrious in hunting and beg
ging old stamps all over the country among
their acquaintances. How many millions
Of stamps tho spectators obtained it is i'm.
possibly to say, but it is now understood
that they clean and sell the stamps, and
thus defraud the government. And it IS a
business that pays we'll, for million three
cont stamps are worth $50, 900, and the col
lection and restoration OF them does not pro.
badly cost one tenth Of that sum. This is q
matter that some government detective
should investigate. We are told that a large
business has been done in this way, and il
cannot be difficult to trace the matter back
from some Of the innocent collectors to the
guilty parties and cause Their arrest and
punishment.

Interesting Incidents in the Life
of the Great Vi0lintst.

Under the title of a Norwegian Mnsi-
cian," a writer in the CornhiN Magazine
gives pleasant account Of the life of Ole
Bull. Here is an incident Of
HIS EARLY LOVE FOR MUSIC.
One day. when six or seven years old,
Ole, playing alone in the meadow, saw aide

ing in the breeze, and fancying he heard
the bell ring and the grass accompanying il
with most enrapturing fine voices-.fancy.

the violin, his instrument being a piece OF
wood and his bow willow weed. After.
wards, seeing Ole play that rustic and
soundless instrument bis uncle, the editor,
presented him with a small violin; and
about year later when at quaEtette after
dinner the first violin gently dropped
down under the table, Ole was ordered to
take his part. which he did to general salts

notes. z0

The story continues:
Ole had several teachers, mostly Danish
artists. who had GONE to Bergen to give
concerts but this instruction was Of course
only transient, and he was compelled in his
twelfth year to give up almost entirely his
medical studies. Hio father, wishing him
to become clergyman, engaged for him a
private tutor, by name Musaus, man ol
great ability, but who afterwards, when ap
pointed master Of a public school, brought
disgrace upon himself by his cruelty. Al
