Quaker Dream.

There is a beautiful story told of a pi.
GUS old Quaker lady, who was addicted
to smoking tobacco. She had INDUCED
in this habit until it had increased so much
upon her that she not only smoked her
pipe a large portion OF the day, but fire..
quently sat up in her bed at night. After
one Of these nocturnal entertainments, she
fell asleep, and dreamed that she died and
approached heaven. Meeting sn angel,
she asked il her name was written in the
book OF life. He disappeared, but re.
Piled on returning, that he could not find
it. "Ob." she said, edo look again it
must be there" He examined again, but
returned with sorrowful face, saying, "It
is not there !" ,"Oh," said she, in
agony, 'it must be there; have the as.
surance it is there" Do look again I"
The angel was moved to tears by her en-
treaties. and again left her TO renew his
search. After a long absence. he came
back, his face radiant with joy, and ex-
claimed, eve have found it, but it was
SO clouded with tobacco smoke tha. we
could hardly see il !" The woman, upon
waking, Immediately threw her pipe
away, and never INDUCED in smoking
again. a. ;.

GENERAL KAuTz.--Tho dispatches from

A Chinese Crucifixion in 1868.

Our fond assurance that the world in all
quarters, is advancing in civilization and
also in humanity, will once in a while re.
ceive rude shocks, which tend to convince
US that the march OF man is not straight.
forward, but sometimes zigzag and some
times hugely retrograde. We have not
for years heard of fact more revolving
than the recent report that, as lately as
October last the cruel and inhuman pen.
atty of death by crucifxion was inflicted
upon malefaclor. Nor is the loathsome
atrocity much, if any, piligated by the
knowledge that the victim was notori-
GUS thief, and was convicted Of stealing
young girls for prostitution. The Roman
people have obtained an unenviable i'm :
mortality as its originators, and the Ile-
brews have been blasted with mildew for
centuries for The infamous use they made
Of the cross. We trust it is unkn known TO
the punitive laws Of every people save the
Chinese. The victim was put upon the
cross on Wednesday, The 98lh OF October,
his hands outstretched, his feet resting
upon board, and sfikes driven into his
hands and feet, and upon him was pla-
carded his sentence; that he should be
crucifed until he was dead. He remained
in torture until the following Saturday,
when, not being dead, vinegar was admin
istered 10 him; but, this not occasioning
death, his legs were broken and he was
strangled. Let the veil OF oblivion cover
the guilty deed. while We seek 10 forget
mans inhumanity to man.

WHAT THE BIRDS SAY!
BY J G. WHITTIER.

Tho birds against the April wind,
Flew nor,bwprd, singing as they few;
They sang, "The land we leave behind
Has swords for corn. blades, blood for dew. -
20 wild birds, flying from the South.
What saw and heard yc, gazing down ~
1--WE saw the moriar's upturned mouth.
The sickoned camp, the blazing town!
Beneath the bivouac's starry lamps
We saw your march worn children die
ln shrouds of moss, in cypress swamps,
We saw your dead nnccfined lie.
I'VE beard the starving prisoners sighs
And saw, from limo and trench, your sons
Follow our fight with home sick ewes
Beyond tho battory's smoking guns"
sand heard and saw 20 only wrong
And pain cried, 20 wing worn flocks:"
"Wc beard they sang, "tho Froedman's 8
song,
Tho crash of Slavery's broken locks -
I'VE saw from new, uprising states
The treason nursing mischief spurned,
As crowding Freedoms ample gates,
The loDg-cstranged and lost returned.
"O'er dusky faces scanned and old,
And hands born-hard with unpaid toll,
With hope in every rustling fold,
We saw your star dropt flag uncoil.
"And, struggling up through sounds ac-
cursed, -ar
A grateful murmur clomb the air,
whisper scarcely hoard ut fret,
Ii filled the listening heavens with prayer.
"And sweet and far, as from star,
Replied voice which shall not cease.
Till. drowning oil the noise of war
1t sings the blessed songs of peace"
So to me in doubtful day
OF chill and slowly greenlng spring,
Low-stooping from tho cloudy grey,
Tho wild birds sang or seemed to sing.
They vanished in the misty air. ...
Tho song wont with them in their flight ::
But 10 they left the sunset fair, s-.
And in tho evening, THERE WAS LIGHT.

LAND MEAsURE.-Every farmer should
have rod measure-a light stiff pole--just
l6s foot long for measuring land. By lit
tie practice hc.can learn to step o rod at
five PAGES, which will answer very we'll for
ordinary farm work. Ascertain tho num-
Der OF rods in width and length of a lot you
wish to measure, and multiply one by the
other, and divide by leo, and you have the
number Of acres, as l6O square rods make
square acre. lfyou wish TO lay off one acre
measure thirteen rods upon each side. This
lacks only rod full measure.
