heedlessly commit the mistake which was
made by certain judge, much given to
fits of abstraction, whom a neighbor
found, late one evening, sitting ip banc0
by creek Approaching him, the gen
tleman saw little frog squatting on a
stone by his side, and evidently enjoying
the prospect Calling the judges atten-
ton to the batrachian stranger, he asked
him what it meant
"Well, | declare" exclaimed the judi
cial functionary, if it isn't my baitl And
there I suppose it has sat ever since nine
o'clock this morning.
Yes, too many young men, who are
waiting for bite, neglect even to
throw in their bait
The opinion is universal that patience
is very amiable virtue; and the number
of panegyries which have been written
upon it would fill volumes. But patience
after all is of little utility in the absence
of other virtues Unaccompanied by
prudent foresight and earnest endeavor,
it can accomplish nothing Patience is a
virtue in the skillful fisherman who
''vexes" the streams where fish abound,
but it is folly with the little child who
dabbles with pin-hook in pail of water.
We say then to young men, who still
have all the world before them, don't
wait for bite, until you are sure that
you have exhausted ali the resources in
your power to increase the chances of
your success. When you have done this,
arm yourselves with fortitude, endure
and Wait-and you will catch your fish. !"

, Our latest European advices report the
address of the King of Portugal, on the
| occasion of the adjournment of the ma
tlonal cortes or parliament, in which he
declares his intention to abolish slavery

the African coast; some portions of Gui-
nea; Angola and Benguela, Mozamb bique;
Goa, Damao and Diei, in Hindostan; the
islands Timor and Soloe; and the city of
Macao IN China. The population Of the
Portuguese colonies is about2 800, 600, com
prising large number of slaves. This
class of persons is found chiefly on the
African coast
Negro slavery is one of the legacies of
the era of maritime discovery in the ff-
teenth century, in which Portugal took a
leading part. The first black slaves made
their appearance in Lisbon in 1442, hav-
ing been given In exchange as ransom for
MOOrs captured by two captains of Prince
Henry. This prince may be said to have
been the originator of the slave trade,
though the conversion of the Africans to
Christianity was pleaded by him, as well
as by his Spanish contemporaries. as an
excuse for the traffic. ,.-.s +.
Four hundred years and more have
elapsed since Portugal was foremost among
the nations of Christendom in establish
ing the crime of human bondage; and
though civilization has since advanced in
every imaginable direction, this foul blot
remains upon the escutcheon of his most
Catholic majesty, and would probably
have continued to remain for generations
to come, If the emancipation Of the negfo
in our country had not given the signal
for his liberation all over the world
Brazil, discovered by a Portuguese at
the beginning of the sixteenth century;
and still ruled by u Portuguese. dynasty,
cannot much longer hesitate to follow the
example of the mother country and pro-
claim the freedom of her slaves. Meas
ures for partial emancipation have already
been introduced in the Brazilian senate,
and, 1t is said, with agood prospect off sue
cess. The friends of these measures re-
gard them as but the stepping stone to
complete abolition, which they will at
once begin to urge upon the country and
the government Spain, with her jeal-
ousy lest her peninsular neighbors should
eclipse her in civilization, must also take
speedy measures to set the slaves free in
Cuba and her other colonies Already
we hear of on anti-slavery journal pub
lished in Spain. The noble example set
by the king Of Portugal must ere long be
emulated by Spain as well as BRAZIL. We
may well rejoice that the great emancipa-
ton movement initiated in this country,
IS extending to all foreign lands.

ICE HOUSES.

A correspondent of the New York Far
mer's Club, gives his experience, as fol-
lows, In regard to the building of a cheap
and reliable ice house. Every farmer, By
small outlay in this direction, can al
ways have at hand during the hot weather
not only an inestimable luxury, but an
article that will be found almost invalu-
able in the prOductionof good butter, the
preseryatlon OF fresh meats, and for Vari
Gus other purposes:
Il see in the papers great many in
quiries about the best method of making
small ice house. / want to give nv ex-
perience for the benefit of the thousands
of small farmers who need plenty of ice,
and are not aware how cheap luxury it
is. Several years ago / built me an ice
house on the back end of my Wood-shed,
u feet square, walls .153inches thick and
filed it with pine saWdust, a board floor
a@th sawdust a foot thick under it, and
we'll under drained; floor overhead and
filed in with saWdust between it and the
roof; the door was double and filled in
with saWdust, | congratulated myself on
having got everything. snug and tight that
no heat could get in, and expected that
my ice would last-until the next Winter.
4 filled it with the finest ice /; and 20 make
the matter dOubly sure covered il with
sawdust 1t lasted until the middle of
duly, so that just when needed it most,
It was gone, / was told it needed ventila-
tion az put ina tube four inches square
and tried itanother year; it kept scarce
the same. i then tore out the floor over
head and left out small window 15 inches
by 2 feet it then kept until Sept. 1st.
ss - a tyearagpI had my attention called
to an ice house built by farmer near me,
which was simply a bin made with rough.
pine boards, 16 feet square, and rooted
over, leavinga larger opening at the front
aud sides. He said his ice kept perfectly
until the next Winter. He put layer of
sawdust a foot thick on the ground and
then stacked tho ice snugly in the center
Is to 20 inches from the walls, and then
filed in with sawdust, and up over the
top foot thick or more. Last winter,
before filling my ice house, determined
to try his method | accordingly tore out
the inside wall, and shoveled out the
sawdust, then filed by stacking it snug

WHAT ENGLAND HAS BROUGHT UPON HERSELF

The London Daily News frankly tells
the English that evil results have come of
their conduct during the war. 1t says:
THE Alabamas and Shenandoahs were
admitted to all tie privileges of men-of-
war, and were allowed to pursue their ca
reer of spoiEatIon unm molested We are
now witnesses to the consequences of our
doctrines As we have sown so are we
reaping. Nor will whining depreciation
or clustering repentance avail us now
: 1t needs little sagacity now, surely, to
determine which would have been the
more advisable course-the course which
was actually followed, or that which was
rejected. No one, certainly, who has
watched the course of the war, will pre-
tend that the devastations of the Ala
bama and the Shenandoah either short
ened or prolonged the war one hour No
doubt individuals suffered great loss, but
1t is IN vain to imagine that the resolu-
ton of the Executive at Washington, or
of the American people, was influenced
one jot by their calamities. ias j.
Probably the effect upon the North
was that the mass of their mercantile ma
rine was transferred into the names of
British citizens. The national injury that
was done was done by this country The
people of the North felt with a bitter
pang, which it may take years, to assuage,
that if their. commerce had been destroy
ed. it was destroyed by ships built, equipr
ped, armed and partly manned by, British
citizens Had there been no Liverpool
and no Glasgow, there would have been
no Alabama What we have done has
been not to aid the North or the South,
but to exasperate both. The North, in
deed, felt that let the British sympathi-
zers do what they pleased in the way of
supplying fast-sailing steam cruisers. they
could not ultimately effect the result Of
the war. But it is vain to deny that the
depredations of the cruisers reused spir-
it of indignation and rancorin the Amer
icAn mind, which. most'unhappily, is still
kept alive"

pAsruR1Na HORsEs IN w1NTER.

Every horse turned out for winter graz
ing, should have shed well protected
from the north, west, and east, and well
Uttered with straw, to which he can re-
sort whenever he desires rest or protec-
tion from the cold and wet. If no shed
be provided, then the horse should be
taken into the stable every night All
horses are not benefited by q run at win
ter pasture some, on account of their
thin skin aud delicate constitutions, rem
dering exposure to cold productive of
coughs and other complaints while
others are provided with long and thick
coat of hair, that protects them against
so readily affected by extreme changes of
weather. Winter pasture is best for horses
where the legs are to be improved. while
spring or summer pasture is best for the
renovation of general health. The bar
enness of pasture in winter keeps the
carcass light, and the GOODNESS of the at
mosphere fines aud improves the legs
Horses that have become "gaunted, as
the phrase is, or that have little appetite
are really benefited by winter pasture, as
the grass at that season, although capable
| of supporting life, has no laxative OF
medicative qualities to change the action
| of the system. Such horses should be
kent in warm sta bles, and fed with roots
! and cut feed, Others, again, that have
/ become stitfened in their joints, or subject
4 to swollen legs, have often entirely re
( covered by winter run at pasture, wher

Life's busy scenes with thee are DER:
Its cares will never Yex thee more;
Its wintry snow and cold bleak rain,
Shall never chill thy soul again;
Each pain and woe shall cease
Thou'1t never look through shining tears,
On faded hopes of brighter years:
Nor breathe one grieved or troubled sigh,
Ger pleasures only born to die.
Thou'lt rest in peace.
Thou'st found thy rest, dear sister, soon !;
Fen in the flush of life's sweet June.
Well, God is good: He called thee home,
Ere thou could'st feel the chilling foam,
OF life's dark, restless seas.
Yes, "He who doeth all things well,'
Has called thee home with him to dwell,
In that fair land beyond the blue,
Where pleasures are forever new.
There, rest in peace.
We miss thee. In thy once bright room,
A dreary stiffness rests, and gloom; Z
We listen for thy voice so sweet,
And for the music of thy feet;
But oh, our tears must cease,
To think of thee as thou art now,
With fadeless peace upon thy brow;
Nor worn by care, nor racked with pain;
'Twere wrong to wish thee back again.
Then, rest in peace.

From the elm tree in the meadow,
By the rill,

On the hill,
Come the fading leaves of autumn,
Floating still;
Through the wide extending forest,
When the winds no logger rave,
They are dropping, dropping, dropping,
: Ger the land and DER the wave:
From the green boughs where the summe
TresSes hung,
And the young twigs, where the robin
Perch'd and sung,
Floating down into the grave.
And whene'er see them floating
Without sound, Is ~ -

And my heart unconscious gr1eves;

Every tone,
Now are silent as the leaves.

SALT MINEs.--The salt mines of Cracow
were discovered In 1851. The length of
the mines from east to west is above, six
thousand feet; the breadth from north to
south above two thousand, and they are
eight hundred feet deep. When a stran-
ger wishes to visit these mines he is hab-
tied in suit of Miners clothes and let
down by machinery perpendicular de-
scent of six hundred feet The place is
very dark, and the miner, who descends
as guide, strikes light and conducts
the stranger through several gloomy
winding passages, at the end of which
they descend by ladders two hundred feet
lower into large cavern. Through this
cavern they enter upon an open plain,
peopled by the miners and their families,
together with their horses, dogs, and 9th
er domestic animals. Nothing can exceed
the briIliancy of this place; Illuminated
by thousands of lamps rejecting their
light upon the beautiful and transparent
surface of the salt in every varied color.

FALL OF THE w WATERFALL.-The fun
gus-like punches of wool, curled hair,
and other trash, which our women have
been carrying on the nape of the neck,
have had their day. The waterfall, or
chignon, is abolished by decree of. FASH
ion Those who continue to wear it will
be declared behind the times and unfash-
newest STYLES of hats for ladies made
their appearance. They are small. but
come down well over the back of the
head, and admit of no waterfall. Along
side of these pretty affairs, the woolly ex-
crescences, that were still worn by many
ladies, looked hideous. 1t may take
some weeks to bring about the general
adoption of the new head-gear, but il
must come. There is no waterfall in the
fall fashions. A great amount of wool
and curled hair will be thrown on the
market, to be transferred from the necks
of fair women to sofa cushions, pillows
and beds.-Phil. Bulletin
