Stand Fast,

1t has happened to contendng armies
that in the climax of a terrible struggle a
regiment, company, squad, OF men
bravcly led, has turned the fate of the day
ana given victory to its cnlors. 1t has
happened that the vanquished, reviewing
the circumstances of the contest after
wards, in the light of facts not known to
them at the time, perceived that a slight
effort, little stouter endurance. another
blow, charge of a handful of troops,
would have s3lliced to save the day, and
make victory Of that which, for lack of it,
became defeat. War searches the heart
and tries the muscle and temper of peo-
pie; and in the last hour of great and
desperate struggle it is not the momentum
OF a grand army corps, but the individual
val0r of the soldiers, which scizcs and
holds victory.
1t is well for lis to remember these truths
in the present weighty hour, when we ap-
proach the last scenes Of great war. If
we are men. worthy of the name and
liberty of Americans, our conduct in the
later days, and in these most severe trials
which are bcforc Us, will secure us the
victory. But if any one expects that the
contest will decide without further efforts
of the uation-if any individua in this
country thinks victory possible without
help from all great mistake is made
In the next three or six months we shall
b, tried to the uttermost, and in every
possible way the death grapple of the
to- will shake the whole country, and it
wall need every quality of which Americans
nave b0astcd, to preserve our own homes
an our institutions from the common ruin
i'll which piratc-like they strive to over
whelm us with themselves.
Therefore we say to every loyal and
true American, in these days-Stand fast,
prepare for all emergencics--for war on
the border for service in the field, for bat.
tie a. home i'll our own streets. Prepare
your mind against false reports. against i'll
genious and malicious Misrepresentation,
against all the Internal strategcms in which
the spies and friends Of rebellion in the
loyal states abound. Prepare to put down
every attempt at unlawful opposition; nor
be dsmaycd to find enemies at home as
we'll as in the South.
We have an immense advantage over
/ The rcbcls-thry are at the cnd of their
res ,urcrs af ncn: their armies can never
be replcniShcd; they will never again be
| able to oppose Us with so large Il force as
| they brought into the field two month,
aga. Bnt they will work with other means
I thia their armies and il We think that
Grant and Sherman suffice to close the
war. if we sit down and leave all to the
, troops now in the field, it we neglect not
only to reinforce the armies, but also to
prepare for defence at home, and thus make
ready to meet the enemy wherever or in
Wtatrvcr shape he may show himself We
may in the very moment Of victory be
suddenly defeated. Far this monster of
rebellion will not die easiiy iy.-Ete. Post.

WILLIAM Prrr FEssENDEN.-Thc West
chester Republican has some gossip about
Secretary Fessenden. The article at
tcmpts to describe his personal appearance
aud characteristics thus -
William Pitt Fessenlcn stands at this
time. without doubt, at the head of the
American Senate. suppose him to be
nearly six feet in height, possibly two
inches under that measurement, and he
would not, in my Judgment, weigh over
one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds
His face, long and rather severe in ex-
preston, heavy eyebrows, dark brown
hair streaked with gray, worn rather
long and with slight laclination to curl.
Judge him to be about itty-fve years Of
age. / should not think him man of
strong friendships, and yet he seems to be
on familiar terms with all the senator's,
occasionally enjoying kind of dry laugh
with those who come to him, or to whom
he goes to chat. He pays little attention
to style IN dress, being behind the fashion,
but there is nothing of the sloven in his
appearance. His voice is clear, rather
sharp in tone, and he speaks naturally
and with about the proper amount Of ges.
ture. He impresses one who hears him
that he is not talking for talks sake, but
is simply filling his position as states
man by bringing the powers of his mind
to the eucidaton of the subject matter
under discussion. There is nothing aorid
ia the style of Mr.. Fesscnden, but, on the
contrary, his oratory is solid, probing, aud
YET sufficiently graceful to secure the at.
teation of his audience. presume the
great poHt which attracts attention to
aud produces admiration for the Maine
senator is the exceeding ciearness Of his
tine iateiiect.

1t was rcciproeated, of course. by sharp

The accuracy and power OF their firing

ABOUT BAcHEIoRs.-" In the good old
times it was considered unpatriotic in a
citizen to remain bachelor all his days.
BY the Spartan laws those citizens who
remained bachelors after middle ago were
excluded from all offices, civil and mill
tary. At certain feasts they were ex-
posed to public derisiou, and led around
the market place. Although. generally
speaking, age was respected at Sparta,
yet this feeling was not manifested
towards old bachelors. Why should |
make way for you" said a Spartan youth
to a gray-headed old bachelor, "who will
never have son to do me the same honor
when am old ?" The Roman law pur-
sled the zane policy towards old bachel-
ors. They had to pay extra aud special
taxes, and under Augustus law was
enacted by which old bachelors were
made incapable Of acquiring legacies and
devices of real estate by will, excep t
from their relatives. In canon law, old
bachelors are enjoined to marry, or to
profess chastity, Or ir earnest to become
mouks."

THIN SKINNED PEopLE.-Occasionally
one meets with individuals whose moral
cuticle IS as sensitive as the leaf Of the
mimosa. Every random conversational
shaft is, in their estimation, as palpably
intended for them, as was the arrow la
beiled "for the right eye of Philip" for
that morarch's dexter optic. 1t is pain
ful to be in the society of such people.
One is afraid to speak, lest he should
hurt feelings that are always on the qui
uire to be hurt. Censure fault common
to the race, and your thin skinned &C.
quaintancc at once appropriates the strict.
ure. In vain you generalize-.he focal.
ICES the focal point being self. Con.
science has, in some cases, its share in
bringing homo q casual expression to the
business and bosom OF an individual
but egotism and conceit are. we believe,
at the bottom Of good deal of the NOR
bid sensitiveness one encounters. a man
or woman must be very vain who imag4
ines that his or her particular weakness
is a matter of sufficient Interest to society
to provoke its continual ridicule. BE as.

that most Of the expressions at which

TIE CRops-The crop of wheat this
year will not be quite so heavy as last
year. Winter wheat will yield two thirds
of crop. Spring wheat gives good
crop, \ New York paper thus speaks
further of the crops -
There was more corn than usual plant
ed in New York nd probably Pennsyl-
vania, and less in New England and
Western States. Though the lateness of
the Spring was unfavo:able to this cereal,
the warm days and recent rains have
brought it rapidly forward, so that it will
be nearly, if not quite, an average crop.
Oats present very poor appearance
in this State, but; according to the late
report from the Department of Agricul-
ture, it is, generally speaking, the larg-
est and most promising crop of the kind
ever sown in the country We infer,
however. from our own observations, that
the above language is little too san
guine. The fruit crop generally promises
well.
Owing to the increased amount of for
eign labor and capital turned snto agri-
cultural channels, and the large harvtsts
realized, our exports of grain since the
first of September have been much less
than that of the previous few years.
Only HI 100 bushels of corn, for in
stance, have been shipped, against Sob
S75 for the last year. But if we are to
believe our European agricultural Jour-
nails, fresh demands will be made upon us
this year for breadstuif, A long drouth
and severe changes in the weather have
impaired the cereals in England. while
prices have risen 10 France from fears Of

FIFTY CENTS WORTH OF MATRIMoNY.-
A young farmer, not very we'll stocked
with brains, not over.rich in this worlds
goods, had come to that crisis in life
when he was sure Ire must commence
"a double-barrellcd" existence, or
"spile." Having made the necessary
preliminary arrangements, in the shape
Of rough board cabin and Darkis
who Was willing" he borrowed horse
and wagon, and took bag of corn and
the expectant bride to the mill and tho
minister's. The corn being left to be
ground, the twain who wished to be made
one flesh awaited up the minister, and
the swain, explained the necessities Of the
case. demanded to know i" How much tho
swinde would be ?' The minister re-
piled that the fee was generally measur.
el by the generosity of the gentleman.
but one dollar was the smallest sum con.
sidered orthodox. This was beyond "ths
pile" of the farmer, but, nothing dis
couraged, he said Now see here, old
fellow! havn't got but fifty cents. and
you must marry us as much as that will
come to, and we'll come again for the
balance The minister could not resist
the entreaty, and married the parties SO
eticctualy that they never returned for
the other fifty cents worth.
