CAPT. MILES sTANDISH.

Capt. Otis Standish, formerly of this
place, a descendant of Miles Standish, so
prominent in the early history of Plymouth
Colony, Mass, has handed US the following,
taken from the Boston Transcript of 95S.
1t will doubtless be interesting to all who
have read the history of those times, as
we'll as to those who know Capt. Standish,
of our times:
"a part of the old homestead Of that
valiant man of war, Capt Miles Standlsh,
has been exhumed from the dust of two
centuries, in Duxbury, where he resided,
and some of the timber of the house found
in nearly perfect state. 1t was partial
ly consumed by FIRE in 1866, and never
rebuilt. Capt. Standish's name is one
famous in Pilgrim annals. He lived for
some time at Capt Hill, Duxbury, which
takes its name from him. After the des-
truction Of his house, he left the premises
for some more favorable spot The plan
of his dwelling was decidedly unique; 1t
was shaped very much in the form of the
letter A. The north wing, measuring 60
feet, in length and 26 feet in width, ex-
tended in one direction and connected
with the south wing, which was 81 feet
in length and 81 feet in midth, and ran
in different direction. The effect of this
was to leave clear space between the
wings, which could be devoted to purposes
Of cultivation.
In the basement story of the house
were found gun barrel 50 IL inches in
length, broken bayonet, axes, hoe,
lance hay fork, COW bell, sun dial and va
rious other articles, once undoubtedly the
property of Captain Standish. Among
them was the identical hearth stone be-
longing to the stout old soldier. These
various utensils are now preserved in the
place, where they originally did good do
nestle and warlike service. They are now
in the possession Of James Hall, Of Boston,
and Lyman Drew of Duxbury, who pur.
chased the homestead, and through whose
efforts these relics of Pilgrim times have
been brought to light.
Capt Standish was an eccentric as we'll
as brave character, and some of his pecu-
liarities are thus hit off by Prof. Holiness
Twas on dreary winters eve, the night was
closing dim,
When old Miles standish took the bowl, and filed
- 1t to the brim.
The little Captain stood and stirred the posset
with his sword,
And all his sturdy men at arms were ranged about
the board.
He poured the fiery hollands in--the man that
never feared
He took long and solemn draught, and wiped
his yellow beard;
And one by one the Musketeers, the men that
fought and prayed,
All drank as 'twere their mothers milk and not
man afraid
That night afrighted from his nest. the scream
ing eagle flew, s9@sggs
he heard the Pequot's ringing whoop, the sol
dier's wild halloo
And there the sachem learned the rule he taught
to kith and bin,

nurse the baby, put things to warm, see
the shirts aired, boil the mackcrel, set

house, carry up some hot water for shay
ing to that brute of a lazy husband, and
dry the morning paper. By this time
you will nave an appetite for breakfast.
Hold the baby during the meal, as you
like your breakfast cold. Af.er break

The Debt-Payer an Honorable
Man.

Talking of such concerns, it is a theory
of ours-based upon experience that
mans character may be read if we can
ascertain how he conducts himself in
reference, especially, to his little indeb:-
ednss-leaving the larger to take care of
themselves. In politics, Jefferson's for
mula is comprehensive enough. is he
honest, is he capable, is he faithful to
the Constitution ?'-but in private,
ascertain if you can, " whether he pays
his debts when he has the money!" and
you will perhaps know enough for guild
ance. If he does not, it is certain, at
least, that there is screw loose some
where and 1t is for you to determine
how far such looseness affects the whole
fabric. But if, on the contrary, debt
unpaid is discomfort and an uneasiness,
from which spontaneously he is disposed
to relieve himself, fear not to place your
self in such hands. The axis of this
mans revolutions is true and it may be
inferred, we think, that all the mecham-
ism works well for when there is dis
position to 60 wrong, in almost any
direction, it is generally shown in the
axis aforesaid. Have no faith in that
species of goodness which is unwilling
to pay its debts" fine fellow" " good
fellow Hwhole souled fellow" and
that sort of tlIing-it is all nonsense,
and worse than nonsense, leading to a
belief that honesty and honor may be
secured without them. Is be a " good
fellow for instance, who frolics and
enjops himself upon money which really
belongs to other people And is that
"whole soul " which. while the wash
crwoman pines and suffers for want of
that which is due to her BY the individ-
ual with the "whole SOUL" goes faunt-

TO MAKE HARD Soap OF SoFT.-
Take good soft soap, any guam ity you
choose, bring il to boiling heat, then
add salt gradually, stirring it constantly
till you observe is separate something
like curds and whey. Then let j. cool,
and you can cut it into bars and take
out, leaving the ley in the kettle. 10
purify it further, put the soap again into
tho kettle, and add an equal quantity of
water, and for every Ave pounds of soap,

and again add salt as before. When
cold cut it into bars aud lay i. up to dry.

Proposition to Hang the DNtCh
Soldiers.

OF late, in all battles and in all recent
incursions made by Federal cavalry, we
have found the great mass of Northern
soldiers to consist of Dutcbmen. The
plundering thieves captured by Forrest,
who sole half the jewelry and watches
in dozen counties of Alabama, were
Immaculate DutcEmen. The national
odor of Dutchmen, as distinctive of the
race as that which, constantly ascending
to heaven, has distended the nostrils of
the negro, is as unmistakable as that
peculiar to a pcle-cat, an old pipe or a
lager-bier saloon. Grimes, thetts and
insults to the women Of the South inva-
riab!y mark the courage of these stink
ing bodies of animated sour-kroM.-
Rosecrans himself is an unmixed Dutch
man, an accursed race which has ovcrrun
the vast districts of the country of the
Northwest. Ii
happens that we entertain a greater
degree of respect for an Ethiopian IN
the ranks of the Northern armies than
for an odoriferous Dutchman, who can
have no possible interest in this revolu-
ton.
Why not hang every Dutchman We
will hereafter hang, Or shoot, or imprison
for life all white men taken in command
of negroes, and enslave the negroes
themselves. This is not to harsh. No
human being will assert the contrary -
Why, then, should we not hang a Dutch
man, who deserves infinitely less of our
sympathy than Sambo. The live masses
of beer, krout, tobacco and rotten cheese,
which, on two legs and four, on foot aud
mounted, 60 proving through the Sou h,
should be used to manure the sandy
plains and barren hillsidcs of Alabama,
Tennessee and Georgia. ~ When
ever Dutch regiment adorns the limbs
of Southern forest, daring cavalry
raids in.o the South shall cease.
President Davis need not be specially
consulted, and if an accident of this sort
should occur TO plundering band like
that captured by Forest, we are not
inclined to believe that our President
would be greatly disgrunfled.
