and an anti-Republican party. In five
years from this time we shall have Re

we're the original Copperheads and we

be proud to rank amongth Copperheads.
But the President is not coming over to

majority in Congress is ominous but if
they imagine that the Democrats mean
to commence a revolution, or that the
President means to strike the first blow,
they are mistaken. But you have only
to look at the work of so-called legisla-
ton, and notice the bills which it has
enacted to be satisfied that they intend
a revolution, peaceably if they can bring
it about, forcibly if they must.

Indiag Courtship and HaTTiage-There is
no custom or ceremony In the domestic life
Of the Indians which is practsed with more
variations than their courtship and marriage
Among many tribes the negotiation is carried
On altogether by the parents Of the parties,
though not often without their having pre-
viOusly noticed some attachment between
the persons for whom they act The mother
of the bridegroom more frequently IN these
cases, commences the movement by taking a
present to the wigwam where the young
woman resides-such as a leg fvenison, or
a piece Of fat bears meat never forgetting
to mention that her son was the successful
hunter of the game. In return, if the
mother Of the bride elect approves Of the
match, which she now understands to be
proposed, she prepares sayory dish Of
7ictuals, the produce of the labor Of 11on1d7l
perhaps beans, or Indian eorn-and then
taking it to the bridegroom's wigwam, gives
it to the mother, and says: This IS the pro-
duce Of my daughters field

4 Wonderful Hemory-The learned
Bishop Jewel, who died IN 1871, was blessed
with most wonderful memory. He could
exactly repeat what he had written at any
former period after once reading it. During
the ringing Of the bell for public worship he
could commit to memory a whole sermon,
and pronounce it without hesitation His
usual custom was to write the heads of his
sermon on his memory, and so firmly were
they, after few minutes, imprinted on his
mind that he used to say that if 10000 peo-
pie were fighting and quarreling all the time
he was preaching they could not confuse
him. To put him to a full trial, DR. Park
hurst uttered to him some Of the most diff
cult and barbarous words be could find in a
calendar and Bishop Hooper, of Gloucester,
gave him forty Welsh, Irish, and foreign
words, and after once or twice reading, and
and little recollection, he repeated them
all backward and forward. In the year 563
Sir Nicholas Bacon, lord keeper Of the great
seal, having read to him from Erasmus s
Paraphrase the last clause of ten lines con
fused and imperfect, with a view Of more
fully trying his gift, sitting silent awhile,
and covering his head with his hand, he
rehearsed all the broken parts the ght way
and the reverse without hesitation He
professed to teach this art to others, and so
instructed his tutor, DR.. Parkhurst, at
Zurich, that within twenty-eight days, by
giving only one hour each day to the sub
iect, he learned all the twenty-eight chap
ters Of the gospel Of Matthew so perfectly
that he could repeat any verse, telling what
went before and what followed.

Satisfy, or Oyster PZaRt-The Satisfy is a
hardy biennial plant, and is principally
cultivated for its roots, the flavor of which
resembles that Of the oyster whence the
popular name
The Oyster plant succeeds best in a light,
well enrichen, mellow soil which, previous
to sowing the seeds, should be stirred to the
depth of twelve or fifteen inches The seed
should be sOwn annually, In the same manner
and at the same time as the seeds of the
carrot and parsnip Make the drills four
teen inches apart; cover the seeds an inch
and half in depth and thin while the
plants are young, to four or five inches
asunder
The roots are prepared in various forms
but when simply boiled in the manner Of
beets and carrots, the favor is sweet and
delicate. The young flower stalks, if cut IN
the spring Of the second year aud dressed
like asparagus, resemble it in taste, aud make
an excellent dish.
The roots are sometimes thinly sliced, and,
with the addition Of vinegar, salt. and pep
per, served as salad. They are also recon-
mended as being remedial or alleViating IN
cases of consumptive tendency.
There is but one species or variety now
cultivated.
