The Coming RattIes.

The public are excited and anxious with the
exneetation of important battles. A great
hattie is expected somewhere beyond the Po-
iomac, somewhere south of the Rappahan-
mock perhaps Gen. Mcclellan has announced
his purpose to march on the enemy, and his
army has been moving. No accounts of its
movements have been published, but private
reports and letters tell us something of what
has been going forward; and as the rebel troops
have crossed the RappalIannock, the expecta
ton OF battle somewhere south of that river
is not unreasonable; but there is nothing to
indicate very clearly what locality will be
made the battlefield. If the rebels are beaten
in this battle, the jeff Davis government will
undoubtedly quit Virginia and hide itself
somewhere in the Gulf states. Richmond will
be captured, and Virginia will be rescued from
the traitors.
It's believed, also, that a great battle is
about to take place somewhere near Corinth,
in Mississippi, or Pennington, as the place is
called on many of the maps Corinth is sit
uated in the northeastern corner of Mississip-
plt near tDe leHuSSSSS nut II 10 dUOut TWEEN
ty miles distant from the point where Gen.
Grants army has been concentrating 1t is
reported that the rebels have from 10000 to
10000 men collected there under Beauregard
Gen. Grants army is supposed to be
every way sufficient for his purpose, aud it
is admirably led. He has with him Smith,
Thomas, McCook, Nelson, Lew Wallace, and
many others, who are sure to behave well, and
his army viii right. A victory at Corinth will
capture Memphis and decide the fate of the
Mississippi valley. If Beauregard is beaten,
as he is quite sure 10 be, he will probably re.
treat towards New Orleans, and the contest
at Island No. 10 will end suddenly.
The war may not be at once ended by
triumph Of the federal arms in both the com
ing battles, but it will SO crush the military
power Of the rebels that they can not take the
field again with any hope of success. Therefore
it is not surprising that news from the two
armies is awaited with anxiety and impatence.
1t seems impossible to doubt that news of i'm
porIance will come very soon. possibly before
the week is out.

cognition of the confederate states by either of
these powers until after the occurrence of one

portions of the top, at one time. From neg.
lect of this caution, he had, within a few
years, lost many of his most thrifty trees.
Several gentlemen present confirmed the
observations Of Gov. Lincoln. Among othars
Mr.. Edward Earle remarked that his own ex.
perience in grating old and considerably
grown pear trees had been similar to that of
the governor. He had lost, at sundry times
number of very fine stocks. He now makes
1t a rule to be three or four years changing
tile tops of pear Trees. That is,-he COM
mences by grating small portion; and so
on until sufficiently changed. l have thought,

tive stocks will bear changing much more rap
idly than grated stocks.

ter of it, however hard il may be. The man
who hopes no more than to escape censure
and who accordingly aims at nothing more,
seems to work from below his task Is a.
bove him; +; he is cowed BY it. Let us resolve
that We shall always give praise when we
can. You will find many people who are
always willing to find fault with their SER

never say an approving word when they do
right. You viii find many who do the like
as to thier children. And only too often
that wretched Management breaks the
spring Of the youthful spirit. Yes many lit
tie children are cowed, and the result is
either permanent quiescence, never to be
got over, or fierce reaction against the
tyranny that embisered early years,-a re.
action which ay somtimes cast off the
bonds of natural affection, and even of
moral restraint. How It encourages and
cheers the cowed little fellow, growing up
in the firm belief that he is hopeiessly wick

any one, to try reward as a change from
constant punishment and bullying. have
seen the good effect upon such an one of a
kind, approving word. How much more
cheerfully the work will be done, and how
much happier man he will be who does it.
A poor fellow who never expects he can
please, and who barely hopes that he may
pass without censure and abuse, will do his
task very heartlessly. let us praise warm
ly and heartily wherever praise is deserved.
And If we weigh the matter,we shall find that
great deal of hearty praise is deserved in
this world on every day that shines upon
it.-Rer. a. FL. Boyd.

LEG Or MtTroS RoAsTEp.-Al leg of
mutton intended for roasting should be kept

up, coiistantly wiped to prevent any mnsti.

thick part Of the leg should be taken out
by the butcher, for it taints first there
and the bloody part of the neck should
also be cut of when first brought In.
Remove the thick skin very crefully /,
trim off the piece Of flank that adheres to
the fat, and flatten the fat with cutlef-

little salt and water into the dripping-pan
