WHEN IS IT DARK.

The following beautiful sentiment
is taken from "MF.E Karrs Sketch
Book" entitled THE Night of Heav
en-" It is full of touching tender
ness:
It is dark when the honorable and
q honest man sees the result Of long
years swept cruelty away by the
knavish, heartless adversary. 1t il
: when he sees the clouds of sorrow
algather around, and knows that the
hopes and happiness of others are
fading with his own. But in that
hour the memory of past integrity
will be a true consolation, and as
sure him even here on earth, OF
CLEANS of light in heaven. 1t l.
when the voice Of that sweet child.
80 fondly loved, is no more heard a.
round in murmurs. Dark, when the
light pattering feet no more re-
sounds without the threshold, or as
cend step by step, the stairs. Dark,
when some well-known air recalls
the strain once attuned by the
childishqvoicegn1wzhnshed in death.
Darkness; but only the gloom which
heFaldS the day4spring of immortal
oity and the infinite light of heaven.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1863-08-21

Kingsley gives his evidence on
this disputed point. He thus de
clares:
. There is no pleasure that I have
experienced like a child's midsum-
mer holIiday-the time, 1 mean.
when two or three of US used to GO
away up the brook, and take our
dinners with us, and come home at
night tired, dirty, happy. scratched
beyond recognition, with greasy
nosegay, three little trout, and one
shoe, the other having been used foi
a boat, till it had gone down witt
all hands out of soundings. How
poor our Derby days, our Green
which dinners, our evening parties,
where there are plenty of nice girls.
after thati Depend upon it, man
never experiences such pleasure or
grief after fourteen as before, unless
in some cases, in his first love-mak-
ing, when the sensation is new to
him. 81 .ez1

WORKING GIRLs.

bright eyes and elastic step, how
cheerfnlly they go to work. Our
word foreit, such girls will make ex-

Contrast them with those who. do
nothing but sigh all day, and live t.

shoes they wear; who are languid

latter, if he were looking for com
panion2 Give us the working girls.
They are worth their weight IL
gold. You never see them mincing
along, or jumping a dozen feet to
steer clear of a spider or a hy.E
They have no affectation, no silly
airs about them. When they meet
you, they speak without putting on

If girls knew how sadly they miss
it while they endeavor to show of
their delicate hands and unsoiled
skin, and put on a thousand airs,
they would give worlds for the sit
uation of the. working ladies, who
are above them in intelligence, in
honor, in everything, as the heavens
are above the earth. Be wise then.
You have made fools of yourselves

AG CULTURAL.
chssr.np Nsu, Of the crOn..

The Agricultural Bureau, al
Washington, collects information re,
lative to the crops of the country,
and the knowledge acquired through
this source is more accurate and full
than when gathered from Agricul-
tural papers confined to a limited
local experience or observation
This Bureau has made a report of
the crops of May and June, from
which it appears that one-tenth
more land was planted in wheat
than in 1862, which was the largest
crop ever grown in this country
Spring wheat has been injured to
the extent of one-tenth, but the 9TH
er promises a large yield. Barley
is excellent. Corn, generally of
small size, its appearance one-tenth
below the standard of a good crop.
Oats, though injured, will be a bet
ter crop than last year. Grass is
twenty per cent. below good crop. |
The increase of sorgum is twenty
seven per cent. Tobacco culture |
is extensive in the Northern States,
and in appearance is an average
crop. The appearance of the cot
ton crop, so far, is favorable. The
dry weather enabled farmers to keep
t freed from weeds and grass
During the drought it was but one
tenth below the average of good
crop; and, in amount, the increase
IS about eighty per cent. over last
year in the localities where it is now
which are much fewer
han those of last year.

Condition of Southern RaIIroads,

gineer, formerly employed on the Belefontalne
Railway and hns for the last two years been
employed in th> South, lately escaped through
The rebel lines at the capture of jackson, Mis-
sissippi, and has reached Cleveland, Ohin.-
The Cleveland Herald says he is man enli-
lied 10 perfect confidence and entirely Able
to speak of the state of the railway lines in
the South. lie says that ihe rolling stock
on the Southern railroads is in wretched con-
dilion. and there are neither mechanics nor
shops, nor suitable tools to repair the machi-
merry. The engines and cars have been kept
On the move constantly, and u train cannot
nov, with safety, make over four miles an hour
on most Of the tracks. There we're seven To-
cumu ives captured at Jackson, but OGly tive
we're fit TO haul train ol FIVE cars. The lrarlts
100, nre in sad plight, the sidings have been
taken up to patch out the main tracks, and
trains are compelled to switch off on tinIoer+
at the uunuuls. There is no way to remedy
these things; there is no iron; there are few
mechanics competent to repair the machi-
merry; there are no suitable tools even were
here men to handle them, and the troubles is
daily bec0ming more serious.

Two Ohio Soldiers Hung By Rebels.

The Chattanooga Rebel of July 25lh says:
Two youths, of the Tenth Ohio Regiment.
aged about eighteen years, were arrested near
Columbia, Tennessee, The other day, within
our Iinee. Though dressed in citizens clothes.
their conduct was so suspicious as to atlra Ct
utlent Tin. 1Lty avenCd lbcy were dcserrert
from the FCderals on their way home; that
they deserted once beiole, had been caught.
and had es capped. A citizen of Middle Tenn
essee ident if,d item as tie Parties who had
recently waylaid and robbed him Of his mon
ey and other personal tffrcts. A more thor
ough examination rsulted in their ccnvic-
lion as spies. Whether as highway robbers,
or spies, or both, they met their just doom al
noon yesterday, near the cemetery in this city.
where by sentence Of law, after due trial, they
we're both bung.

BEAUTIFUL ANswER.-A pupil of the
Able Sicord gave the following extraor-
linary answers:
"What is gratitude?
Gratitude is the memory of the
heart
"What is hope?
"Hope is the blossom of happiness.
"What is the difference between hope
and desire.
''Desire is tree in leaf, hopo is a free
in flower, and enjoyment is a tree in
fruit ~
"What is eternity?''
"a day without yesterday or to NOR
row-a line that has no end''
"What is time?''
GA line that has two ends-a path
which begins in the cradle and ends in
(he tomb
"What is God?''
"T1e necessary being, the sum of eter-
,ity, the mechanist of nature, the eye of
Justice, the matchmaker Of the universe,
the soul of the world.'' ~
"Does God reason?'
8 Man reasons, because he doubts; he
deliberates-he decides. God is omni-
:ient; He never doubts. He therefore
never reasons
