A gentleman, while passing through
a street inha abited by poor people in
New York, heard an iniantile voice
from a basement crying Help help
He rushed in and found a little five
year old boy holding a bed blanket
around his sister, years younger, who
had caught her clothes on fre ; and
the little hero had succeeded in ektin
gushing the flames The boy, in an
swerto the inquiry why he had 50
wrapped the blanket around his sister S
burning cloths, said his ma told him
that was the best way to put out fire
and he had cried for help because he
was afraid he could not spceecd, and
wanted some one to help him. He
was then asked why he did not leave
his sister and 60 iutc the street and cry
for held. He answered, with tears in
his eyes, and a fixed determination OF

The Valandighamers are making

of aiding these patriotic men and wo-

On the culture OF ths Grape. :, )

Mr.. EbfToR II give yeu my mode
Of planting and pruning grape vines.
Ny grapes have nlatured and fipeRed
well, and free from rot. NY mode of
setting is TO mako very large holes and
fill them up with compost Of we'll
composed manure, with equal parts of
leaf mould from the woods. Chip soil
from the woodward well fotted ia
good soil for the grape. The next
point is thorough cultivation. +. The
most essential point is pruning. give
mihe In the first place / train my
vines on trellises, and prune on what
is called the renewal system. Some
time during February ih each year, l
cut all the latterals back to one bud,
and let new wood grow on to form the
grapes; When the lunches are we'll
formed in June; / nip the lateral off
some two or three joints beyond the
bunch, and prune Off all suckers. that
are growing Beware not 10 strip
away leaves. Ifyour vines were prop
erIy trimmed lcst fall or early IN the
spring, all you need do during the
summer is to keep the suckers allprdn-
ed off A mass Of suckers must 1ol!be
allowed to shoot up from the central
part Of the vine, everything and smooth
ering the fruit bearing canes. ~ Thfec
or four shoots are allowed to Cgi0w
from every joint where one is enough.
The vigor Of the vine should be con-
rentraied into those canes which grow
where they are wanted-not diflused
and wasted in wild, uhgoverned
growth Of useless wood. The canes
should be distributed equally over the
treliis, tying them in as they grow, and
nipping off the extrchities when they
have exceeded proper bounds. Pro
badly it is the growing conviction of
our vine-loving readers, as it certain
ly is mine, that the renewal mode of
training grapes, on the whole, is the
best. The best native grapes for cpl-
tivation in my estimation, for tho
/ table, are the Delaware, Hartford, Pro
liffc, Concord, Diana, Clinton, Isabel
la for wine, Catawba and Clinton,there
are a great many newer varieties pro-
missing well, but not sufficiently tested
for general cultivation, I would ad-
wise every person that owns ground, to
try a few Of those grapes this spring.

Romantic AGalr In Ohio.


In the northern part of Hancock co.
there resided good-looking intelli-
gent young widow, whose husband
died in 1860. Now, this husband. who
was very considerably hesenior of his
wife, on his death bed had exaeted a
promise from her that she would new
'er marry again, and after his death,
his relatives managed TO gobblc up
his entire estate, leaving her not only
a widow, but very poor. The aiore-
said promise to her husband she re-
grctted in less than year, for gal.
liant young officer Of the 21st, from
the neighhortng county of Wood who
had loved her before her marriage, re-
newed his suit She would have mar
ried him, bat iorthe fatal promise, and
afemarkably ytendcr conscience, which
rebuked her whenever she thought Of
the matter. ,r t...
SO the matter stood until the battle
Of Chickanauga. Tire young officer
was badly wounded, and was brought
home to die. He made all his prepa-
ratiess, setting his house in order com
| pletely, for the last scene Of all in his
etentfui history. He sent for the Wild
ow and told her he desired bat enc
thilsg, and that was to provide for her
He knew that she was poor and he had
no property to leave her. one thing
only he could do. His widow would
receive pension of thirty dollars q
month from the Government. - he
would make her his widow,
She thought of the matter several
hours, and finally concluded to do it

her promise, bet not its spirit, and

COLONEL MOODY.

We had this morning the pleasure Of
d call from our early and valued friend
rRev. Granville Moody, who was sum
moned hithcr to meet his sick brother,
GeorgeV Moody, Chiefcf Longstrect s
(rebep Artillery, who was captured at
Knoxville, and had just arrived, a
prisoner ofwar at Camp Chase. These
brothers were both engaged at the head
of his own corps, at the battle of Stone
River. The captive, though full Of
that strange spirit Of blind and fierce
ihfatHation which animates intelligent
Southern gentlemen, is subdued by a
painful indisposition, infamatory rheu-
matisln. 1t is fortunate for him in his
present circumstances, that he has
here at hand q kind, sympathizing,
and almost forgiving friend, his broth
er, the faithful Parson, tho faithful
citizen, and fearless soldier of biscoun-
try. The captive brother is by four
years the junior Of his brother Gran
vile; has been for many years a prom
inent lawyer in Mississippi, residing
at Port Gibson and possessing such ad-
vantages as have been showered upon
him, surely ought to have known'bet-
ter than to be found confederate with
rebels against such government as
ours. 20 us it is amazing, that man
of ordinary intelligence should be. thus
overtaken. With this man we have
no personal acquaintance; but the fact
that he is a brother of our old faithful
Pastor, the hero, Col. Granville Moody
calls out our sympathy for his present
suffering, and in a measure STILES our
resentment for his great offense.
Col. Moody is seeking for a furlough
for his brother, that he may take him
to his own home in Piqua, and minis
ter to his physical necessities. We
have no doubt, should the favor be OBJ
tanned from the War Department, he
would also be faithful in his e.rhorta-
tons (for which brother Moody has a
| git,) and might awaken in the mind
Of his captive brother. recolleetions Of
early parental teachings, and possibly
be the means ID the hands of ProSi
dence Of converting a rebel from the
error Of his way, and saving 4 great
political sinner alive. We would glad
ly wish for him this full measure o.
success - Col. ETpress.,. K .,5....-.i,
