POrtraiture of stanton.

Mr. Brown, of the Confederate Senate, in
the course Of a recent speech, had the fol
lowing notice of Secretary Stanton, of whom
he said:
1t seemed that he had no power to dis
gust Lincoln. 1t might be because he was
5aser than the other two. He rather
thought it was, for of all unmitigated falsi-
fiers of sacred pledges and undisguised be-
trayers of the confidence which he himself
had created Edwin NJ. Stanton was the
meanest and basest. He had one consoa-
ton in thinking of this man, Stanton, and
that was that he would be certain, sooner or
later to betray Lincoln. Stanton was in
capable of keeping faith. He had fond
ness for bctraying those who give him their
confidence that has become the charm of
his life. Mr.. Brown related an interview
which he had with the present Yankee Sec
retary of War just before he (Mr. Brown
left Washington the last time. 1t was un-
der circumstances peculiarly calculated to
impress Mr.. Brown His State had with
drawn from the Union. Mr.. Brown was
passing out of the Senate, and Mr.. Stanton
from the Supreme Court They met by ac-
cident in front of the Old Capitol, when the
conversation at once turned on secession,
the action of Mississippi on the question,
and Mr.. Browns consequent Withdrawal
from the Senate Mr.. Brown was surprised,
and, under the circumstances, deiightcd tc
hear Mr.. Stanton sag the South ros right
and ecpress an eurnest hope that she ,roulo
stand .f,m You are right, said he; &C
home and urge your friends to stand by what
they have done, and all will be well. Firm
ness now will secure you all you ask an,
wavering and you are lost. He had accepted
his advice, and the next he heard of him
he was Lincoln's Secretary of war, or he hac
better say, Lincoln's butcher. Stanton, b,
his brutality in refusing all exchanges, hat
caused the death of at least fifty thousanC
men, more than half of them his own coun
| trymen.

Fidelity.

Desert not your friend in danger and dis
tress Too many there are in the world
whose attachment to those they call friends
is confined to the day Of prosperity. As long
as that continues, they are, or appear to be,
atfectionate and cordial But as soon as.
their friend is under cloud, they begin to
withdraw and separate their interests from
his. In friendship of this sort, the heart
has assuredly never had much concern. For
the great test to true friendship is constancy
in the hour of danger-adherenc in the
season of distress, When your friend is
eliminated, then is the time openly and
boldly to defend his cause. When his stu
alton is changed, or plisfortunes are fast
gathering around him, then is the time of
affording prompt jealous aid. When sick
ness or intirmity occasions him to be neg
lected by others, that is the opportunity
which every real friend will seize of redoub-
ling all the atfectionate attention which love
suggests. These are the important duties,
the sacred claims of friendship, religion and
virtue enforce on every worthy mind To
show yourself warm in this manner in the
cause of your friend, commands esteem even
in those who have personal interests in op-
posing him. This honorable zeal of friend
ship has in every age, attracted the vener-
alton of mankind. 1t has consecrated to the
latest posterity the names of those who have
given up their fortunes, and have exposed
their lives in behalf of their friends whom
they loved while ignominy and disgrace
have ever been the portion of those who
would desert their friends in the hour of
distress.

How Pryor was Released.

The National MtelUgencer gives the fol
lowing version of the release of Rogers A,
Pryor; Dispatches of Saturday to the
evening papers of the Northern cities state
that the President had ordered the Release
of General Rogers A. Pryor from Fort La
tayette, with directions for him to report to
Col. Forney, in this city. We have reason
to believe the above report is true. Dis
tinguished gentlemen Of the editorial fra
ternity, both Republican and Democratic,
urged his liberation, and Mr.. Lincoln in IA
moment of good nature, wrote the order for
his release, adding jocosly that Gen. Pryor
should report to Col Forney. 1t will be
remembered that Col, Forney and General
Pryor were former associate editors of The
Union newspaper, under the proprietorship
Of Gen; Armstrong, and with them was
Hon. Chas, Eames, now Solicitor of the
Navy Department, and VIM. NJ Overton,
Esq, since deceased. This strong editori-
al staff succeeded A. j. Donelson, ESQ.,,
who, for a while, was leading editor of The
Union, having succeeded the veteran Thos

Military Interference in EleC-
tiOnS.
(From the Chicago Times.)

(From the Chicago 1lmeS.)
The House in Washington has passed Il
bill land it has been approved by the Presi-
dent) to prevent military interference in
elections, from which fact it would appear
that there has been such interference of a
character so extended and unjustitiable as
to demand legislation to prevent its repeti-
ton This is the confession made by the
passage of the bill, and more shameful
confession could hardly be made by Re
publican Government protesting to respect
law, justice and purity Of elections. Had
not the interference been general one, af-
fecting the nation at large, reaching beyond
particular States and localities, illegal and
oppressive, it is improbable that the party
responsible for it would criminate itself by
such an acknowledgement as the passage OF
rious and too well substantiated to be evaded.
Several weeks since The Ne,o York. 7r,-
bune, in commenting upon the late elections
prove the increase of its party with the in
crease of population, and that the Demo
cratic party, instead of gaining in numbers,
as the population increased, was decreas-
ing. The passage of this bill will go far
towards explaining the sudden growth of
Abolitionism, and overthrowing the infer
ences drawn from its figures. The last
election was carried by fraud Military in
reference in Pennsylvania and Indiana car
ried the State elections, and the influence
which the Administration triumph exerted
in the October elections secured, in con
junction with fraud and military interfer-
ence, its success in November,

PotatoesFrozen vvithoutInjury

S. Walford, of Albion, says: Permit me
to lay before your numerous readers the 10 t9l-
lowing fact which l have received, from Nj
RoadRouso, j, p, of the township of Al
bion. He informs me that in February last,
during the severe frosty weather, his potatoes
deposited in good stone cellar, about twenty
bushels in the heap, had become frozen as
hard as bullets, and by way of experiment,
he threw some six or eight pals Of water
erthem; shortly after doing SO the potatoes
became a solid mass of ice, In u few days
a thaw took place, the ice and water. left
them, and they remained during the winter
perfectly free from frost, and were not in
any way injured. Canada Farmer.

Health fulness of Apples.

There is scarcely an article of vegetable
food more widely useful and more uniyers-
ally liked than the apple. Why every farm
er in the nation had not got an apple. orchard,
where the trees will grow at all, is one Of
the mysteries. Let every housekeeper lay
in good supply of apples, and it will be
the most economical investmentin the whole
range of culinaries A raw mellow apple is
digested in an hour and half, while cabbage
requires five hours, The most healthy desert
that can be placed on table is a baked ap-
pie If eaten freely at breakfast, without
meat or flesh of any kind, it has admirable
effect on the system, often removing con-
stipation, correcting acidities, and cooling
off febrile condentions more efectually than
the approved medicines, If families could
be induced to substitute apples-sound and
ripe--for the pies, and cakes and sweet
meats with which their children are so in
discreetly stuffed, there would be diminu-
ton in the total of doctors bills in single
year sufficient to lay in stock of this de-
licious fruit for whole seasons use.

Deafness of the Aged.

Nothing is more common than to hear old
people utter querulous complaints with re-
gard to their increasing deafness; but those
who do so are not perhaps aware that this
infrmity is the result of an express and
wise arrangement of Providence in con-
structing the human body. The gradual
loss of hearing is effected for the best pur-
pose, it being intended to give ease and qui-
etude to the decline of life, when any noise
or sounds from without would not discom-
pose the enfeebled mind, and prevent peace
ful meditation Indeed ,>the gradual with
drawal of all the senses and the decay of
the frame, in old age, have been wisely or
dained in order to wean the human mind
from the concerns and pleasures of the
world, and to induce longing fo.' perfect
state of existence.

WINTER.
NY vfoLETTE WOODS.

ny vioLETTE WOODS.
Ficecy snow-fiakes softly falling,
Such as whispered words OF love.
Little snow-birds gently fitting,
'Mong the branches high above.
Smoothe and fair the wintry scene Is,
Fair as bcauty's placid brow
. Lcaflcss trees and vcrdant ccdars,
Meath the cold winds bend and bow
Jingle, tingle, wondrous merry,
Is the soft bells distant sound:
Sleighs with happy, careless drivers,
Lightly o'er the white earth bound!
Songs and jests, and ringing laughter,
Fly about on airy wings;
Wild, enhancing are the pleasures,
Which the noiseless snow flakes bring!
Chilly though the north wind Is,
Life and spirit 1t inspires
Children froic to its music
With zeal that never tires!
Eyes as bright as stars at midnight,
Beaming with trustful ray
Cheeks on which the rose is blooming,
Hearts as warm us summers day.
Sport they with good will aud earnest,
Speed their snow balls nerily,--
upwards glnncing, quick careering
Thro the top of each bare tree.
soon they of their pleasures weary,
And with eagcrness pursue
Those which promise more enjoyment,
Just as older minds will do!
I.ongthe way since early morning,
Men have travelled to and fro;
And have left their tracks behind them,
Deeply dcnted in the snow.
With delight the children note them,
Happy thought strikes every mind
Tracing up these craven footprints,
They real pleasure find!
Happy childhood! ThoughtleSs childhood!
How its pulses bound wi Ia joy!
Cloudiess skies and summer sunlight,
Purest gold without alloy!
Or if sorrows come upon them,
They depart, and leave no trace,
And the snow -wreaths melt and vanish
When the bright sun shows his face!

The Best Time to Prune Trees.

At the last meeting of the Farmers Club
there was long discussion on pruning trees.
by DR.. Ward, and Messrs. Ely, Carpenter,
and Smith, and they agreed in opinion, as
the result of their experience, that the best
time for pruning is the summer when the
trees are growing. Trees pruned at that
time heal more readily, and are less likely
to be attacked by black blast, or otherwise
injured, than if prunned in the winter.
