The august parsonage whose name ap-
pears above, is to be the radical candidate
for Congress in this district next fall
Perhaps ii is not generally known where
he stands In the position he now occu-
pies as Speaker of the House, his clarion
voice is not heard in the halls as it once
was and hence his record may be known
only to the faithful of the abolition party.
In letter to radical meeting in Mary
land, however. he throws off the mask and
takes decided stand with Stevens & Co,
against President Johnson's policy. He is
an unmtigated radical disunionist. Let
the people of the 9th District remember
this when they come to vote this fall.

Next week We will make some improve
ments in the typographical appearance of
the Democrat which will necessarily
lengthen the columns and give our readers
more reading matter than the paper con-
tanned heretofore. As new material will
be required to make this improv ement, it
will OF course inv olive an additional ex-
pense. We promise our readers that no
pains or expense will be spared to make
the Democrat one Of the best papers in
the State. It IS therefore the duty Of all
democrats to give us liberal support.
The democracy Of the county are re-
quested to assist little in procuring few
more cash subscribers. The more paying
subscribers We have, the more interesting
will We make the paper for them.

CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE OF OSIERS.
"A writer in the Boston AdUerttSer says that
the osier, or basket willow, is a very profitable
crop, and can be grown upon lands too wet and
cold for ordinary crops. He says it will yield
from two to four tuns, green, per acre-wOrth
$40 per tun-and, peeled, it has been sold as
high as 500 per tun within two years.
Without indorsing entirely his statements, it
is an indisputable fact that the osier can be
made very profitable product of the farm,
even when the mandatory is distant from the
place of production. After being once fairly
started it will almost take care of itself, re-
quiring only the attention necessary to its cut
ting and preparation for the manufacturer 1t
is tenacious of life, is not frost killed, and, af
ter the second year, continues indefinitely to
yield an ever-increasing amount. 1t is easily
cultivated from cuttings, and, keeping the soil
mellow and free from weeds and grasses the
first two or at most three years, it asserts its
supremacy and adheres as tenaciously to the
soil as the Canada thistle.
The osier is largely used in the manufacture
of chairs, settees, baskets, sleigh and wagor
bodies, and even tables, and is capable Of being
applied to diversity of purposes. We hav,
seen summer cottages furnished almost entirely
of willow ware-chairs, tables, sofas, lounges
etc. Large amounts of the raw material and
the manufactured are imported into this cOun
try, principally from Germany, but within {
few years the manufacture has been successful
ly prosecuted here on quite an extended scale

SEVEN YEARS,

"Tis seven years since Helen died!
Long years to Us, who watch them here:
At home, our princess, prize apd pride,
And theH twelve months \. es.ern bride,
And then we watched her disappear
Fading as fades the rose before
Her tender fathers farm.hou door.
'Tis seven years! T; swallows come
And build as then beneath our caves;
All day we hear the wild bees hum.
The distant partridge beats his drum,
And squirrels chatter mid the leaves;
The meadows ripen into bloom,
The breezes waft the hay's perfume.
Long years for US, but short for her.
Her life above how calm, how sweet;
while earthly cares our bosoms stir,
In Gods own house worshipper,
And happy at the Saviour's feet:
Into his radiant image grown,
And knowing now as she is known,
Another Helen, seven years old,
Assumes her mothers place and name;
Taken lamb into our fold,
From sorrow, loneliness and cold.
And loved by all of US the sane:
Her footsteps echo round the door,
Her mother enters nevermore.
Seven years nearer her are we!
Nearer her earthly resting place;
Nearer, too, the crystal sea,
Nearer the nations healing tree,
Nearer our Heavenly Fathers face;
And who will say but seven years more
May find US on that happy shore?
