Digging Potatoes for the Soldiers.

Digging Potatoes for the Soldiers.
The ladies of Muscatine, already fa-
nous for benevolent enterprise, are just
finishing one of the most novel as well
as successful works yet undertaken by
them, 1t is the harvesting of the crop
of potatoes raised on tract of land do
mated for the use of the Soldiers Aid
Society, by Mr.. Little, situated about
three miles north of the city. The
ground, as our readers were duly in
formed, was planted in May last by
voluntary, spontaneous and almost in
stantaneous gathering of loyal-hearted
men, women and children. The job of
planting twenty acres was completed in
less than one day. Later in the season
the "patch was weeded in the same
manner.
Yesterday was the time set for digging
the potatoes. Accordingly about 200
persons, of all ages and conditions, from
the gray-haired sire and matron to the
school boy and school girl just entering
their teens, assembled and went to work
with will, using plows, harrows, hoes
and fingers to gather the esculents from
their native soil If our soldier boys
could have looked upon the scene, and
beheld their fathers and mothers. broth
ers and sisters, wives and sweethearts,
engaged in the laudable and laborious
work of providing for their comfort, their
hearts would have been cheered and their
resolutions strengthened in the noble
cause in which they are engaged. AL
though most of those at work were novi-
ces at farm labor, they made good prog
ress, and by 4 o'clock two-thirds of the
"patch' had been gone over and the po
tatoes hauled to the city and stored
away
The work must be finished to-day
provided it don't rain-and it is hopec
that every one who can will be on the
ground to help More plows have beer
engaged than were in use yesterday, anC
more baskets and more persons to picl
up potatoes will be needed. Let us ge
at it early and finish the job before din
ner, if possible.
: Since the above was written the ladle
. have sent word to US that the gentlemen
are urgently requested to provide wagon
sufficient to bring in the potatoes to-da
, (about. six loads being left over las
. night; also to turn out in force wit
!. forks, hoes and baskets. The ladies ar
. requested to send in provisions to Conn
: tons by nine o'clock this morning.
: was thought that the Society would hil
d laborers to finish the work, but as
number of farmers have volunteered
: : be on hand to-day with plows, it is hope
d our generous hearted citizens will tuI
h out and assist in completing it withor
expense to the Society.

Stockholm, who shortly before he suffered sent in
a petition to the King begging for mercy. When
this petition was rejected he declared to the cIer-
gyman who attended him that he would not sub
NIT quietly to his punishment unless he first OBJ
tained leave to speak with the King and again
sought for pardon. As soon as King Charles
herd this he went to the murderer's prison, and
when the criminal had renewed his petition the
King answered, Z" l cannot pardon you, for your
crime has been too great and horrible but pray
with an upright and repentant heart for forgive

have comfort and strength TO meet your fate.

PAY OF ARCHITECTS IN THE nth CENTURY-Long
before Brindley's time lingo Jones was paid only
eight shillings and four pence as architect and
surveyor of Whitehall Banqueting-ho house, and for
ty-six pounds year for house-rent, clerks and
incidental expenses; whilst Nicholas Stowe, the
master mason, was allowed but four and ten pence
day. When the Duchess of Marlborough was
afterwards engaged in resisting the claims of one
of her Blenheim surveyors. she told him indig-
nantly, d" that Sir Christopher Wren, while en-
ployed upon st. Paul's, was content to be dragged
