Horse wisdom.

Anything horse can touch with his nose
without being harmed, he does not fear
Therefore, the hand, the halter, saddle, har-
ness, umbrellas, buffalo robes, Or whatever
is brought in proximity to him should be
introduced to and touched by that delicate
organ. A knowledge of such important
facts as we learned by attending course OF
his lectures, is the main secret OF harys
success in horse tanning.

THE DEATH BED.

We watched her breathing through the night
Her breathing soft and low
AS in her heart the waves of life
Kept heaveng to and fro.
so silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about,
As we had lent her half our powers
To elIe her being out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes beied?
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.
T. HooD.
Is there anything in the language more touch.

The AMERICAN BIBLE SoCIETY.-Again we
would call the attention of all good citizens
10 make every effort to spread the truths OF
the Bible After so long time we have re-
cciyed from the American Bible Society, for
our Washington County Bible Society, fine
lot of Bibles and Testaments. They are now
on sale at the store of Messrs HosS & Lsmpson.
They are furnished our county society at the
cost Of publishing them, we add simply per-
cent enough to pay the expenses Of transpor-
,ta,ion. These Bibles are much cheaper than
they could be sold by any person doing bust
ness for themselves, but the American Bible
Society was formed and entered upon their
work simply to benefit the people. II is a
national institution, and knows no sectional
ity. The old debts OF our county society
were all cancelled by the parent society, and
a very large lot Of books now furnished us
that no one need be destitute. Where per-
sons are known to be TOO poor TO buy, this
precious book will be furnished them. There
are all varieties of Bibles and Tsgtaments Ia

Mr.. EDITOR What would you
think of Union man that would
bring rebel guard to arrestyou after
you had served three years in the
Union army? Would you not think
it poor consolation to a discharged
soldier? There was a Constable in
this district, come with the worst rebs
of our country, and arrested Mr.. Job.
Powell, one of the best Union men in
our country, and took him to Jail -
Mr.. James Neel done this, pretend
ed Union man, after no had made
Niter for the Confederate States two
years, and brought George Bear, one
OF the worst rebels in the country,
and arrested Job Powell, true man,
that has been fighting for his country.
This Mr. George Bear, came to my
house while was in the Federal army
and cursed my mother, threatened to
shoot her, or to send her through the
lines to her id Yankee son.
There was two of tho meanest reb.
els of our country shot yesterday
These difficulties which they get into,
are brought about by their own con-
duet. M. i. HELToN.

rea- How are the mighty fallen !!
The glory has departed from New
Jersey, and the sceptcr from the
democracy Mr.. Nasty, the long,suf
fering apostle and pastor of the
Church of the Dispensation, is even
now, we suppose. with his umbrella
and clean shirt, negotiating for q
passage to Brazil, where alone the
sacred institution remains in its pris-
tine splender So goes the world-a
prophet is not without honor except
in his own country.
With the recent elections in New
York and New Jersey, the last hope
of the copperhead democracy has
departed The party whose prestige
has, until within the last four years,
been SO brilliant, and which had for Sc
long time ruled the country that it
vainly supposed itself to be the coun.
try, has at length fallen to pieces of
its own weight, like the image in the
Scriptures whose face and body were
of brass, but whose feet were of clay,
1t was founded upon lie, though SO
old and venerable lie that many had
supposed it to be truth. But
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years Of God are hers
While error wounded, writhes in pain
And does amid her worshippers."
We have seen tho death throos of
slavery in these elections, and of the
party whose only issues are based
upon slavery. A new party may
arise under the name Of democracy
but .he principles which under that
name have so long ruled our country,
can never again have the ascendancy.
Every passing event is but repeating
and presenting in a stronger light the
great lesson of the last four years.
"That right is right since God is God,
And right the day must win.
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would worshippers."
1t would be well for all who wish,
finally to triumph to remember this
in the ensuing reorganization of par
ties, and the future developments Of
party Issues Chat. Ga
