Is RELIGION BEAUTIFUL?-A Always.
In tho child, the maiden, tho wife, the
mother, religion shines with a holy
benignant beauty of its own, which
nothing ON earth can mar. Never
was the female character perfect with
out the steady faith of piety. Beauty,
intellect, wealth! they are like pit
falls, dark in their brightest day, un-
less religion throws her soft beams
around them TO purify and exalt, max
ing twice glorious that which seemed
all loneliness before.
Religion isvery beautiful-in health
or sickness, in wealth or poverty
We never enter the sick chamber of
the good, but soft music seems to float
on tho air and the burden Of their
song is, Lol peace is here"
Could we look into thousands of
families to-day, where discomfort fights
sullenly with life we should find the
cause of unhappiness, want of religion
in woman.
Aud in felons' cells-in places of
crime, misery, dostitution, ignorance,
we should behold in all its terrible de-
formity, the fruit of irreligion in wo-
man.
Oh, religion! benignant majesty,
high on thy throne thou sittest, glori-
Gus and exalted. Not above the cloud,
for earth clouds come never between
thee and truly pious souls not be-
meath the clouds, for above there is
heaven, and opening through broad
vista Of exceeding beauty.
Its gates are the splendor of jasper
and precious stones, white with a
dewy light that neither flashes nor
blazes, but steadily proceedeth from
the throne of God. It's towers, bathed
in refulgent glory, ten times tho
brightness Of ten thousand suns, yet
soft and undazzling to the eye.
And there religion points. Art thou
weary? it Whispers "rest--up there
---there-there forever. Art thou sor-
rowing? joy" Art thou poor?-"the
very street before thy mansion shall
be gold" Art thou 'friendless? "the
angels shall be thy companions, and
God thy friend and father"
Is religion beautiful? We answer,
all is doso!ation and deformity where
religion is not. la

The Horrors of war.

A man, unless he happens 10 be Il
devil inearnate, very soon gets tired of
killing those whom no can see. Even
the surgeon who is dissecting corpse
covers up theE face of his subject.--
Those orbs have sunk their fire into
the abyss Of death, but they are still
human eyes. To mark the death-gaze
of the slaughtered, the poor fellow
who never did us harm--to feel our
feet slippery in his blood--to have his
blood squirt on our hands, and his
hot brains dash into our face = this
Kind Of business very soon siclSons
and revolts the bravest soldier. When
YOU have seen few men slashed or
shot TO death, my Christian friend
my melodious poet, with your sing
song about the tented field " and the
embattled strife my mellihuous
pastor, with your high-sounding elo-
quenco about the God of battles"-
you will think as l do, and mayhap
you may come TO acknowledge how
comparatively tender and mordiful are
the men in shoulder straps whose trade
is to kill, and how often the gorge of
their souls rises at their dreadful call
ing. Turn 20 the Book Of Maccabees,
and read that one tremendous prog
nant passage-that one line; And
Nicanor lay dead, inharness.' When
you have seen him thus, lying stark
and stiff, his brave clothes all dabbled
in gore, his mouth wide open, grin
ming, awful, tho bloody foam on his
lips driod into a purple crust, and the
camp folowor-the Thenard of the
afny-creepiug up to rifle his peck
cts, and draw off his boots, and cut
off his ring-fnger, and smash his jaw
for the sake Of the gold-setting to his
false teeth, you may form some idea
about the "romance of war;" very
different from those you have previ-
ously entortained,-Sald, III the London
Telegraph.

KEEr1yc HoksES FEET y LEGS IN Or
DER.-IfI were asked to account for my
horses legs and feet being in. better order
than these of my nei shbor, l should attrib-
ute it to the four following circumstances
First they are. all shod with few nails, so
placed in the shoes as 10 permit the foot 10
expand every time they move; second, that
they all live in boxes instead Of stalls, and
can move whenever they please; third, that
they have two hours daily walking exercise
when they are not at work; and fourth, that
I have not a headstall or track;chain in my
stall. These four circumstances comprehend
the whole mystery of keeping horses legs
fine, and their feet in sound working condi-
ton ur to a good old age.-Miles.

ing we shall want more during the coming

.bles. The army will need tncln to preserve
its men from seurvy. The people will need
them to make up tor the inordinatc price Of
meat. 1t is the duty, as well as the interest,
of everybody. to cultivate as large a quantity
as possible. There is not a yard in any city
Or lown which should not be made to con-
tribute something towards the general store.
Among other inducements, it may be mei-
toned that vegetables, with few exceptions,
are exempted from the titie and that they
are no. taxed beyond the income tax OH the
profits from their sales. 4 little attention

BREAKING STEERS TO rHE YoxE.-My plan
is land I'have broken-a good many to break
them the winter before they are two years
old. First get them into tho yard; then into
q small pen, so strong that they c~annosbreak
Qua, thenrfecd them ccra-nubbing, and han
die them gently. Get them yoked, if posi-
Bile, before they are aware Of it; then feed
them more corn. sNow hitch thep behind e
steady yoke of cattle; drive them around
awhile; then feed them more corn; now make
them fast, aud then invoke them, and fesd
II little mere corn. Repeat the whole opera
ton the next day twice, morning and even
inc;.do not forget the coSn. The third day
put them in the lead. Handle them q little
every day, morning end evening; yoke and
unyoke every time. DO not beat thtm. If
you cannot make them do as you wish, and
&c. vexed with them, do not abuse them. but
feed them corn. You will soon be able TO
drive them alone. This should bedone soon,
as they never viilbe broken right without.
Now, If you have a small stocl; aGd n light
sled, they will haul enough to feed them; and
this viii be enough for tlem ts do morning
and evening, and they will very soon be quite
handy. But mind, you must give them corn
every time you yoke, and enough, until they
become quiet, so that lou can hardle them
ard get Up to them in any place, aud they
never will forget it, but continue quiet and
gerilc all their lives.

Late ana RELIABLE from Gen. Forrest.


We had the pleasure of meeting, hat even.
ing, with Maj. Severson, Chief Quartermas-
ter of GefsiForrcst's command, who is visi-
ting Selma on official business, and to whom
we are indebted for many particulars of Gen.
Forests campaign into Kentucky, which
have not appeared in the public prints.
Yesterday evening o courier arrived, bring
ing dispatches from the command, together
with an autograph letter from Gen. Forrest
to Maj. Severson, dated the 18th ult, at Jack
son, West Tennessee, where hiB command
were resting after their arduous and success
full campaign, resulting in the captures of
Paducah, Union City, Hickman, and other
places. with yaat quantities of military stores,
which he succeeded in bringing to his own
depots without any serious hindrance: His
whole canfpaign was o series Of triumphs,
most important in results, not the least of
which is the restored confidence of the people
of West. Tennessee, thousands of whom are
daily hocking to his standard.
In addition to. the military stores captured,
Gen. Forrest brought away over 1000 fine
horses and mules. Three hundred of these
he found in one Government. stable, at Pa
ducah, Kentucky. This surplus he expects to
use in ~equipping his command.
The general tenor Of the information is to
the effect that the long, languishing spirit of
the people of West Tennessee is fully aroused:
and that in q short time Gen. Forests com
mald will be SO augmented in numbers as to
be inyincible against.any force which the en-
envy can bring against it. Indeed, there seems
to be that presciencc of: victory which ac-
companies his every movement, and which
seems to hang about bis very name, that mas
the country with confidence, aud his
troops 10 deeds of herUism that scarcely find
a parallel in the records of chiYalry. When
he will move, or where be will strike the
next blow, it is not for us to say, but it will
be a sad day for the enemy when he's brings
his leeions against those who have SO long
and so cruelty oppressed them.-Selma Mis-
%sissippian.
