Meditation.

Go to the grave of buried love and
mediate. There settle the account with
thy conscience for every past benefit un-
requited-every past endearment unre-
garded, of that departed being who
can never-never-never return to be
soothed by thy contrition! II thou art
a child, and hast ever added a sorrow to
the SOUL or a furrow to the silvered brow
of an affectionate parent; if thou art
a husband, and hast ever caused the fond
bosom that ventured its whole happiness
in thy arms to doubt one moment of thy
kindness or truth; if thou art friend,
and hast ever wronged in thought, or
word, or deed, the spirit that generously
confided in thee; if thou art q lover, and
hast ever given one unmerited pang to
that true heart which now lies cold be
meath thy feet-then be sure that every
unkind look, every ungracious word,
every ungentle action, will come throng
ing back upon thy memory, and knock
ing dolefully at thy soul-then be sure
that thou wilt lie down sorrowing and
repentant on the grave, and utter the
unheard groan. and pour the unavailing
tear-more deep, more bitter, because
unheard and unavailing.- Washington h

Creek Convicted Of MansIaughter.

The case of Creek, of Union county.
was disposed of in the Circuit Court last
week The case was submitted to the
jury on Saturday evening, and on Sun
day evening they brought in a verdict of
manslaughter and Imprisonment in the
State prison for four years.
Many of our citizens were surprised Mt
the verdict and the time consumed by
the jury in considering the case, is con
elusive evidence that they had much
difficulty in arriving at a decision averse
to the accused.
The circumstances of the unhappy af-
fair, which cost one of the most respect
able citizens of Union county his life,
and has sent another to the State prison.
are briefly as follows: Some time last
May. difficulty occurred between Creek
and Paddock in regard to some hogs of
the latter which had destroyed quantity
Of corn of the former. Paddock sent
word to Creek to come to see him and
he would settle for the corn the hogs
had destroyed. One day when Creek
was working with some hands near q
field that Paddock was blowing, at noon
when they were about to go home to din
ner, he shouldered his ak and said he
would go over and see Paddock and
settle about the corn. Greek according

Paddock attacked Creek, when the lat

stantly killing him There were no 9th

engaged in it The attorneys for the de
fense moved for q new trial, but the
Court refused to grant it.

conducting warfare which, however
justifiable they may be to the minds of
military men, cannot but be regarded by
ordinary persons as contriyances which
only demoniac malignity would employ.
1t has been given out therefore that these
instruments of destruction were fabrica-
ted in the South, and the skill with which
they were constructed was matter which
called for the praise of sympathizers
with Secession, as furnishing proof of
the mechanical abilities of the Southern
workmen And yet they have been
manufactured in England, and were i'm
ported in blockade runners, with Biakely
guns, marked with the broad arrow,
muskets. bomb shells. gunpowder, and
other things intended to help in the

American Manufacturers-the American
Watch Co.

Watch Co.
Our readerers, We are sure, are not
generally aware of the great impetus
that has been given to manufacturers
since the beginning of the war. The
high rates of exchange, and the necessi-
ties of the army, have made the Eastern
hills and valleys resound with the hum
of busy machinery, and nowhere has
machinery done more or created greater
revolution in production and trade than
in the manufacture of the watch. What
was once the toilsome, slow and uncer
tain result OF hand labor only. is now
the swift demonstration of unvarying
mechanical forces. The same class of
genius that invented the telegraph and
the sewing machine invented the delicate
and wonderful mechanism that takes
hold of the raw material-the brass and
steel, and gold, and precious stones,
and under competent direction turns ont
that daily wonder and necessity-a per
feet time keeper. That genius is es-
sentially american, and has been found
collected assimiliated and made produe
tive by the American watch Co., at
Waltham, Mass. Taking the best fruits
of several years experiments, they es
tablished their factory nearly ten years
ago, which they have been compelled to
enlarge from year to year until they now
employ seven hundred workmen, and
turn out product valued at a million
and half of dollars per arnum-or
equal to that of all other watches now
sold in this country. The secret of this
Company's success is that they have
done what they promised-that they
have furnished first rate substantial
watch at moderate price-and this is
the great difference between their
watches and the ordinary importations
from Europe. Except certain very high
priced varieties, the European watch
is the result Of cheap and unskilled hand
labor, that never goes well, and in
short time .costs more than it comes to"
in repairs. The American Watch Co.
give guarantee for the quality of all
their products, that is good with any
dealer who sells sthem.-Erehange.

While we are proud to see that every Union
newspaper on our exchange list has the inde
pendence to eenounce the public shame in which
Vice President johnson involved the nation,
we are not at all unmindful of the fact that the

Singleton and Tobacco--A Passing
Strange Story

The so-ealed Singleton tobacco speculation
makes great deal of talk. and sxcites CON-
ment that is not wholly smothered. 1t was
weilknown in Democratic circles here. when
Mr. Singleton (Democrat) first went to Rich
mond that be went upon commercial specu-
iation cloaked in peace. Speculation in gold
by Democratic Congressman surrounded his
pesce commission upon his going and his re-
turning The meeting was not fruitless, As
was so hastily declared by the agents Of the
press here. Singleton arranged in Richmond
for the acquisition of vast quantity OF tobacco
not by purchase with greenbacks or seven-
thirties: but by operation that should supply
the stinted rebel army in and about the Rich
mond defenses with rations Of meat. At the very
time that the North was sacrificing men and
money lavishly under Sherman, Sheridan and
Grant. to cut Lce off from all his supplies of
food This anomalous enterprise and marvel
ously unpatriotic speculation is understood here
to have had five CO. partners besides the active
nanagers-all New Workers and Mcclellan
Democrats-each OF whom put in SIS. GOO.
The quarter OF a million capital in this poo! was
to be invested in bacon bought in Baltimore and
exchanged in Fredericksburg for manufactured
tobacco. The transaction of course had the
cheerful assent of The Rebel Government and of
Gen. Lee. President Lincoln's permit author
izing it. is said by the Richmond papers, to have
b cen placed in the hands Of the rebel officer in
charge OF the tobacco, sent up from Petersburg
and Richmond, and to have been produced and
shown to the Union officer who proposed to
seize and destroy it.
When the secret history Of this astonishing
thransacion shall be made public, lift ever shall
be. it will undoubtedly appear that this officer
had Instructions from man who is earnest in
his efforts to smash the Rebellion, and don't
swap horses, bacon, or politics across the Rap
pahannock. to wholly disregard any and all
permits and bargains that could be streatched
over the tobacco, and to capture and destroy
it inc xorably in the face of any and all protests
and warnings. The officer did his duty Four
millions OF dollars worth of tobacco are said to
have been lost TO the New York firm Of Xc-
Clellan patriots, and the Union bacon that was
to feed the rebels, while slaughtering Union men
is stopped on it's tratorons way to the traitor.

Ee-A new ami yery seasible fashion

EE-A new and very sensible fashion
is beginning to prevail in Hartford in
regard to funerals: 1t is this, the funeral
services are held, and the assembly dis
missed, and all except the family and
other relatives of the deceased return
to their homes; afterward the hearse and
carriages come, and the body is accom-
panied to the grave by the family only.
Great expense in the way Of carriages is
thus avoided.
ET According to the Boston Journal.
to the old plan Of mixing water with
lard is now extensively practised. BY
pouring water into the lard, and keeping
it constantly agitated until it cools, some
twenty-five per cent. OF water can be
mixed with the lard The purity Of the
lard may be determined by melting it at
a temperature Of two hundred and IL
degrees If it melts without ebulition
it contains no water; and il it deposits
no sediment it is probably pure. Water
is also used in increasing the weight of
butter. By making the butter very salt
its capacity for raisiDg water il greatly
increased.
