STORY WITH A MoRAL-A young man
who was paying especial attention to a
young lady, met with the following Incl
dent during one or his visits:
Being invited into the parlor to await the
lady's appearance, he entertained himself as
best he might for some time, and was be-
coming very weary, Then little girl about
five years old slipped in and began con-
yersation with him.
81 can always tell said she, "when you
are coming to our house.
"You can" he replied, land how do you
tell it -
why, when you are going to be here,
sister begins to sing and 10 get good; and
she gives me cake, and pie, and anything |
want: and she sings SO sweetly-when
speak to her she smiles so pleasantly. |
wish You would stay away here all the while;
then would have a good time. But when
YOU 20 off sister is not good. She gets mad,
and if | ask her anything, she slaps and
bangs me about, and is i'll as copper
head
This was poser to the young man. Pools
and children tell the truth" quoth ne; and
taking his hat he left and returned no
more.
Nordl.-Parcnts wishing their ill-natured
daughtess married, should keep there small
children out of the parlor when strangers
are there.

Susan held up her baby as high as she could
that. he might see il to the last. 1t would be-
hard to undertake to tell how much oncour
aged Andy felt.
Soon after this, it was talked about among
the Coppcrheads that the furloughed sol
diers had been converting the people OF
| Rose Prairie to Uuionism. and couple OF
| the lawyers came down from the country
sent to see about it.
Mr. Clifford being the most influential
man, they called on him first After going
through considerably long, smooth and
| slippery introduction, they told him their
business. He confessed he had changed his
mind, and hc thought men of learning ought
| to know better than to be deceiving plain
| farmers who couldn't be expected to know
all about politics. And how could they
know, when they never had such schooling
and this was because the blasted old slave
holders where they came from didn't want
no schools. One of them, who is figuring
! to go to the Legislature, let out in quite a
speech filled with genuine copper democra-
| cy, telling about Lincoln's tyranny, the
! overthrow of the Constitution, high taxes,
| the ruin of the country, and concluded by
saying we ought TO let the south CO.
"l'll tell you,n said the old man, "what
they'd say OF you down in the army, il you
talk that way to 'em. They'd say you was
a damned traitor; and if you had no fust
friend with you, they'd string you up; and
if was with 'cm, l wouldn't kere much to
help 'em. Them's my sentiments, fair and
square"
This is very strange, Squire Clifford /;
very strange, indeed. Why, sir, you belong
to our order of the Knights of the Golden
Circle, and you cannot have forgotten the
solemn oath you have taken, nor the dread
iul penalty which attaches to the violation
of that CATH
This made the Squire mad.
"Git out of my house, you internal scoun-
drel-you traitor to your God and your
country. You lied to me to get me into it,
Git out of my house And if any of you
Golden Circular touch hair of me or mine
I'll send for Andy and the rest of the boys,
and, by the Jehoka, they won't leave grease,
spot of you hole gang. Git out of my house,
I'll have nothin' to do with a traitar to my
country and the old flag Of the stars and
stripes
The lawyer went-thcy both went. When
he was getting on his horse, he said
Goodbye, Mr.. Clifford. You've got to
be Yankee niggcr, see. 1t must be you
wants niger wench."
"Ycs, do, do, want a thousand of 'em.
amt ateared of niggers as much rs | was.
I'm ashamed, though, ever was a traitor,
like you are. Yes, | was Il traitor, and
helped to fight agin' Andy and Susan and
her baby there. But, thank God, in his
mercy, I'm traitor no longer
1t would have done you good, had you
seen how pleased the womea were to hear
the Squire give the lawyers his mind.

The PRIVATE SoLDIER.--Gov. Curtin in
his speech at the opening of the Central
Fair, Philadelphia, uttered these noble
words;
"My friends, if there is man before me
worthy of sincere reverence and respect, it Is
the private soldier of the republic. Loud
cheers. He is the true nobleman of this
land. He falls with an unrecoraed name.
He follows the armies of the republic on
small pay His friends are not gratifed by
magnificent pageants at his funeral; he is
buried at Gettysburg, where there are one
thousand graves of the unknown, and when
you minister to the comfort of that man,
when YOU succor the wounded soldier |
pray you in Gods name do not forget his
wife and orphans when he falls. Contin-
ued cheering My friends, the work be-
fore this great natiCa is big enough for us
all, and here, when rich and poor men and
women have brought up their offerings to
their country, let us bury for the time all
differences in politics, sect, caste and re-
ligion, and declare one and all for our bleed
ing country

BRrIsING OATS FOR HoRsEs-The Sci
catifc american, which is careful in express
sing its opinion upon all bat scientific sub
jects, contains the following hints on feed
ing oals to horses:
"a horse fed on whole oats and uncut
hay, eXpends large proportion of his mo-
tive power in the process of mastication.
After hard days work he has before him
the task OF reducing to pulp Is or 20 pounds
OF hard food, and the operation is carried
on In the hours which ought to be devoted
to purpose. Not unfrcquenty is the animal
so tired that he is unable to properly chew
his food; he, therefure~ bolts the oats, a
large portion of which passes unchanged
through the body. Those who desire to
render fully effective the motive power of
the horse, must pay attention to the me-
chanical state as well as the quality and
quantity of his fool The force expended
fy the horse in comminuting his food
when it is composed of hay, straw and oats
may be set down as least equal to the
power he eXpcnds IN one hour and half of
work, such, for example, as plowing. The
preparation of his food, by means of steam
or water power, or even by animal motive
power, would economize, by at least one
half, the labor expended in its mastication:
this would be equivalent to half days
work in every week-a clean gain to the
animals owner 1t has been objected to the
use OF bruised oats, that they produce
laxative effect upon the animals, but this
disadvantage may be obviated by the adj
dltlon OF cut straw to his food"

SOAP SUDs.-The value of this article as
stimuant of vegetable life, cannot be too
highly appreciated. 1t contains the ali
ment of plants i'll state of ready solution,
and when applied, acts not only with i'm
mediate and obvious effect, but with sus-
tanned energy which pertains to few even
of the most concentrated manures When
it is not convenirt to apply it in irrigation
the most economical method, perhaps, of
using tit should be absorbed by some ma
terial which may be used as an ingredient
in the compost heap. Sods, muck and
other similar articles should be deposited
when the suds from the sink and laundry
may find its way to them, and be absorbed,
for the benefit of crops, In this way several
loads of manure, suitable for the support
and sustenance of any crop, may be made
at comparatively small expense. The highly
putrcscent character of this fermcntable
libuid qualify it admirably for the irrigation
Of compost heaps of whatever material COM
posed. Being potent fertilizer, it must,
of necessity, impart additional riches to al
most any material to which it may added.
Try it, and mark the results. u.

GAN ENGLISH OPINION OF GEN. GRANT"
The London Daily Telegraph, edited by
| Thornton Hunt, man who during the pre-
! sent rebellion has omitted no opportunity
to manifest his hostility to the Federal Gov
crnment, speaks as follows of General Grant,
whom the writer year ago considered as
inferior in military capacity:
No vulgar man, no mere idol of the hour,
is this Ulysses Grant, who by shcer hard
work and honest fighting has raised himself
from a position of obscurity to one of al
most unlimited communicative has, if some
reports concerning him be true, achieved
that rarcst of all victories, Il mastery over
| himself and his deSires-and who, Ga virtue
not often possessed by the military celebri-
| ties of the United States is still modest and
unassuming. Nor has he yet in any way
compromised the reputation which he worth
/ lily earned, alike by honorable service in the
| field and by exemplary civic conduct. \
man of merely ordinary Calibre would scarce
! ly have dared to accept the glorious but
! terrible responsibility which Grant has qui-
/ etly taken upon himself, ms became a good
soldier who was bound to fear no peril
either material or moral in his country
cause. He was prudent as well as bold
the mere Spendor of the office didnot seducc
him and only on his own terms, which
were wise and well considered, would he
consent to assume supreme command. lie
would submit to no dictation from the anna
seur Auic councillors of Washington hold
ing himself responsible for the issue of the
campaign, he would not allow it to be pre-
ljudiccd by any undue publicity being given
to his plans he kept his own counsel, al
lowed the gossips to talk as they liked, and
at length, strong in the confidence of his
troops, and with the whole enthusiasm OF
the North to back him, he set forth upor
/ the great march from which he had deter
mined never to return except in triumph.
! Nor can it be denied that already he has
done much. Pushing doggedly onward
with the fierce resolution o: IL man who is
intensely in earnest, he has fought his way
inch by inch into the very heart of Virginia
and victory, SO close is now his army tc
Richmond, would probably place that capl
tai in his hands. 1t is impossible to read
his operations without seeing that they are
those of leader who possesses daring and
capacity not altogether incommensurate tc
the mighty task that lies before him. "On
to Richmoudw which has SO often been
simply the vainglorious cry of Northern
! braggarts, is with this stern and valiant cap
tain something more; it means something
not to De merely talked about, but to b,
dOHs. and ii the whole strength of the
! North, entrusted to strong and, capable
hands, can do it, that purpose will be
achieved.

The LIGHTED NMLEY.-During the en-
gagement in the Southwest, a few months
since, the position of the two armies, for
about twentysfour hours, remained un-
charged The dead and dying remained n
the field, no one daring to remove them.
In the night the voice OF a boy vas heard
crying for assistance, which could not be
given. Earthly friends in this hour Of trial
and agony, were of no little avail. Then
lac turned 10 one who said, Il will never
leave thee nor iorsake thee, and al intervals
the voice of prayer was waited on the night
air to the cars OF his companions and better
yet, il was carried 90 the Throne OF God. AT
last the voice hushed in death.
The next day the rebels fell back, our
men found tile boy of eighteen, resting
against stump, bis eyes open and turned
towards Heaven, With radiant smile upou
his countcnance as though lac heard ia,
music of the angels, ~ II lac saw the Lord
