BUNYAN's GRAvE.-A correspondent Of

ton Of The grave OF Bunyaa.
"Bunyan lies in Bunhill fields, a Gem

monuments ana slabs. Asking a lad,

point mo TO Bunyan's grave, Yes said
he, there he lies, covered with sheet.
Taking the direction pointed out | soon
stood by the grave and the monument Of
the inimitable alegorist and there indeed
he did lie, wrapped in cloak, With a
book under his arm. sleeping and dream

ton: John Bunyan, the author Of Pill
grm's Progress. On one side, chiseled IN
stone, Pilgrim, with bis burden, leaning on
his staff, with countenance of deepest an
guish. On the opposite side is Pilgrim
grasping his cross, bis eyes gazing on it,
his burden rolled off at his foot, and his
countepance radiant, with peace and JOY.
The whole is finely conceived. Directly

HAY MAKING.-As many farmers have
already commenced TO cut their hay, and
all others are preparing for it, We will en-
deavor to make some suggestions upon this
important subject.
Cmtting.-The best farmers have deed
ed that the poisoning time is The best
time to cut the grasses-especially clover
Grass when in blossom has its full growth,
excepting the seed. 1t is yet tender in a
measure, and it has one advantage which
no other stage Of the grass possesses, its SUI
ear is fully developed. Ii allowed to be-
come dead-ripe some Of the most valuable
nutritious substances are transformed into
hard, woody fibres, and it is comparatively
worthless. Cut it then when in blossom,
when stem aud head are tender, juicy and
fragrant.
Curing.- The grass should not be dried
so thoroughly that the tenderest part be-
comes brittle and falls off in handling. 1t
should be exposed 10 the sun and dry ar
better dry air alone--tiIl it is thorough
ly wilted Then the moisture, mere WAFER,

When the hay is put into the barn il

serves il from moulding and sweating, but
the hay is rendered so much more edible
for stock. 1t is eaten with ayidity, with
little OF 10 waste.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
NASHVILLE UNION.

The NAsHFfELLE usIoS was commenced laut spring,
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Cop
federacy and Of advocating Tho restoration Of Federal
authority, without any abasen ent all tbs States
which have attempted 10 secode It's object was to
proclaim the doctrines OF Liberty and Union as they
were once sSpounded by the fthsrs OF the Republic,
but which for more than ycar-the long and
droary carnival Of treasos--hnd been nnspoken and
unwritten IN the Capital Of the State Of AEDREw
Jackson, and treasured up only IN the hearts o
the faithful. We believed that the right way TO
duct loyal Journal in city like Nashvills at such
time as this, was to raise the wavering AID timd
up to the true standard Of patriotism, and not to
lower the standard Of patriotism aer the manner Of
other Journals to suit the dspravod tastes Of the
semloyal and symp 4thizsrs with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The uNroN, therefore, has held as friends all who
support, and foes all who oppose the Union Of the
States. It's watchword Is FREEBoM AND NATIONALITY.
With rebels and traitors Il has compromise to
make. It contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in Pursuance thereof as the suFRsNE
LAW or THE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States to the contrary notwith
stapding.
II contends for the Union Of the States, because
without Il tho preservation Of our liberties and ins
tutions and the organization Of society itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands in
the way of crushing out tho rebellion and restoring
tho Union must perish, matter by what name It
be called.
When thousands Of our citizen soldlersslay down
their lives upon the altar Of their country as sacr
foe above all earthly price, and precious In the sight
Of Heaven, Coz forbid that any ignoble motive Of
selfinterest should make any man waver in his 10y
atty. II there be any such, let them lock at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort Donelssh, Murfroesboro and
Fredericksburg, and blush at their wickednsss and
folly. Love for our country should now overshadow
every other feeling and he Is no patriot who loves
his houses lands, negroes with 1.-THE Of the devo.

rebels in arms, and not liz up with the deceitful
glow Of peace based upon omasculato loyalty and
concessions to traitors-the glow Of meteor which
would shine only to betray, and going ont would
leave us in darkness tenfod more gloomy than that
which prevailed before.

of storm sunshine may await IL in the future, and
