We have had President Taylor, and now
we have a tailor President Little did the
present incumbent think, when following the
peaceful profession of his youth, that his
goose would one day hang SO high, and
that he who once aided in dressing up his
Southern patrons, would one day be called
to assist in dressing down the same individ-
uals, and giving particular fits to many rebel
lious customers The war has come to its
close, (clothcs) The "repossession" of the
Southern forts has left enough dead men in
the breeches-lct all breeches be now mend>
ed Our Presidents previous life has been
but sew>sew, but if he pants for fame, he is
vested with sufficient authority to clothe the
naked and bleeding South with garments of
mercy, so that our peace may not prove to be
patched up one, but blessing to all par
ties. Although not of character SO benign
as his predecessor, may he conduct his adN
mnistration with such vigor as to make it
appear that there be nine men in the Press
idential chair, instead Of only the ninth part

SHARPENING EDGE Tools The simplest
method Ofsharpening razor is to put it for
half an hour in water to which has been adN
ded one twentieth ofits weight of muriatic
or sulphuric acid, then lightly wipe it of,
and, after few hours, set it on hone. The
acid here supplies the place of whet stone
by corroding the whole surface uniformity,
SO that nothing further than a good polish is
necessary. The process never Injuries good
blades, while badly hardened ones are freS
quently improved by it, although the cause
of such improvement remains unexplained.

Mr.. STEVENS PosITIoN.-Througho
the whole of the late war, when the rebels
had entire possession of from seven to ten
States, the Government and the people of the
United States maintained that those States
were still in the Union; now the war is over
and the rebels have been conquered and their
bogus government displaced, and ace have
possession, it is proposed to consider those
States as out of the Union. This is an abS
surd position, and yet it is the one that Mr..
Stevens desires to put the country in.--Phila.

KICKING ows,-COws, says cOtempo>
rary, seldom kick without a cause for it.
Teats are sometimes chapped or the udder
tender, harsh handling hurts them, and they
kick. Sometimes long and sharp finger nails
cut their teats, aud sometimes the mixer
pulls the long hair on the udder, while milk
ing. Shear off the long hairs, cut long finger
nails close, bathe chapped teats with warm
water and grease them well with lard, and
always treat COW gently. She will never
knick unless something hurts her, or she
fears a repetition of former hurts. When
gently handled cows like to be MIXED. When
treated otherwise they viii kick and hold up
their milk 1t is quite as consistent to whip
a sick child to stops its crying, as to whip or
kick COW to prevent its kicking while be-
ing MIXED.

Loves sudden Growth.

But yestermorn, with many flower,
The garden Of my heart was drest
A single tree has sprung to bloom,
Whose branches cast tender gloom
That shadows all the rest.
A jealous and tyrant tree,
That seeks to reign alone;
As If the winds melodious sighs,
The dews and sunshine of the skies,
Were only made for one.
A tree on which the Host Of Dreams,
Low murmur mystic things,
While hopes, those birds Of other skies,
To dream themselves chant low replies
All, wherefore have they wings2
The seasons nurse tae ebhgh:and storm,
The glory leaves the air
The dreams and birds will pass away,
The blossom wither from the spray
One day-the stem be bare
But mine has grown the Dryad's life,
Coeval with the tree
The sun, the frost, the bloom, the fall;
Ny fate, sweet tree, must share them all,
To live and die with thee

GALLATIS VAELEY.-We/ learn that the pro.
gress in agriculture made by the inhabitants of
this far-famed valley ifs surprising, and that
many of them are getting rich, while not few
are already quite Comfortable At least GOOO
acres Of wheat will be sown in the spring, and
the probability is that the crop will much ex-
coed this estimate. The soil of the valley is
sandy loan, with tracts of clay here and there
interspersed ; but these latter spots arc avoided
being too cold and wet for profitable farming
Although the winter has been the coldest ever
experienced, there has not yet been snow enough
there for sleighing. Hundreds of muskrats have
been frozen in their houses. Ninety yoke of cat
tie were put out to pasture, late last fall in the
poorest possible condition, and only three head
have been lost. Mr. Harrison's herd of about
1000 head are now nearly all in good condition
for the butcher. As an instance of the profits
which industrious men may realize, we may cite
the brothers Dunbar, who have made nearly
$4,000 from eight acres of land, the first year
commencing almost without capital, and with
but one team. Johnny Grant, Of Deer Lodge,
and his partner, are putting up a frst-class
Two out-buildngs are already finished and the
stone and timber for the main structure are on
the ground. 1t will be finished in time to grind
the next crop. The valley is thckly settled in
many places for q distance of forty miles, and
any industrious person who has, or can get
farmstead there, is sure of a good living and
competence. The distance from the Eastern and
Western bases Of supplies is so great that the
home producer may rely on obtaininga magnif-
cent reward for his labor.-AoHtaaa Post.

INDICATIONS OF A GREAT MIND.-To set
out in the world with no other principle than
acrafty intention to interest, betokens. one
who is designed for creeping through the in>
ferior walks of life; but to give an early pref
erence to honor above gain, when they stand
in competition; to despise every advantage
which cannot be attained without dishonest
art; to brook no meanness, to stoop, to no
dissimuatien, are the indications Of great
mind, the pressages of future eminence and
distinction in life. at the same time, this
virtuous sincerity is perfectly consistent with
the most prudent vigilance and caution. 1t
is opposed to cunning, not to true wisdom. 1t
is not the simplicity of weak and prudent,
but the candor of an enlarged aud noble
mind, of one who scorns deceit, because he
accounts it both base and Improbable, and
who seeks no disguise, be heeds none to
hide him.

AMERICAN CREDIT ABRoAD.-The London Netcs
upon this subject, says: " Pending the receipt
of news from America, as to the temper in which
the Washington Cabinet received the refusal of
our government to take into consideration the
Alabama claims, check is given to the move
ment in American securities, as regards which
the tendency of the market is otherwise very
favorable. Nevertheless, in the meantime, the
high rates of interest required from the specu-
lative holders of fve-twenty bonds at the last
settlement have caused occasional reaizations
so that thelprice is barely maintained. Should
the American government adopt the moderate
course which is expected of them, it would seem
difficult to limit the extent of the probable flow
of British capital into American securities, new
and old, for there is evidence on every side that
the civil war has raised the prestige and credit
of America, and her enterprises higher than
they ever stood before

| KEEPING FAITH ONLY WITH NEGROES
The radicals seem to believe that the Gov>
ernment is bound to keep faith with negroes
and with nobody else For instance, we hear
great deal from them in favor of clothing
the liberated slaves at once with all the rights
Of treemcn, in order that the Nation may
keep Its faith plghted to them in Mr.. Linl
coins proclamation of emancipation. Now
unless we have got so far down in the scale
that Paleness Of complexion releases the oh,
legations Of faith and honor, it is no more
| than just to claim that if an executive proc
lamatiOu can bind the national faith when
pledged to men Of black skins, it must be
equally binding when pledged to men of
white skins. About a year subsequent to
the Emancipation, Proclamation, President
Lincoln issued another proclamation address,
ed to the white population of the seeded
states In the message accompanying the
proclamation he said: "By the Proclama,
tion plan is presented which may be ac>
cepted by them as rallying point, and which
they are assured in advance will not be re,
jected here. This may bring them to act
sooner than they otherwise wond" And in
the Proclamation itself he said: "And l
further proclaim, declare, and make known,
that whenever in any of the States of Arkan.
sas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tenn
essee, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, Florida,
South Carolina and North Carolina" the
persons taking the oath of allegiance "shall
re'establish State Government that shall
be republican, and in nowise contravening,
said oath, such government shall be rccog~
nized as the true government of the State,
and be entitled to the benefits of the constiS
tutoua! provision which declares that the
United States shall guarantee to every State
in this Union republican form of govern.
meHt."
Notwithstanding this solemn and unequiv-
ocal promise,-a promise as binding in honor
as that made to the negroes in the EmaDci,
patton Proclamation-these radicals refuse
to recognize the restoration of the seeded
states. They desire that the public faith
shall be kept only with negroes, and they
proclaim the national honor mockery and
delusion in all mattGEs relating to white
men.-Americdn IotJiAtccr.

SHEEP NEoEssITY.-The experience of
the advanced agricultural nations, like Eng
land Germany and France, goes to show that
sheep are necessity off good general system
of fhusbandry, on even the highest priced
lands, and the densest population. They
afford as much food to man in proportion to
their own consumption of food as any other
domestic animal

In accordance with an act of Congress au-
thorizing the motto "In God We Trust" to
be placed in addition to other legends upon
the coins of the Uuited States, the Director
of the Mint has caused dies containing these
words to be struck for all the larger gold and
silver pieces. The smaller cOins-as gold
dollars, dimes, and half fdimes-are too small
to receive the new motto in legible shape,
and it is. necessarily omitted from them.
Specimen medals of the double eagle, and
half eagle, and silver dollar, half-dollar, and
quarter>dolIar, bearing the new motto, have
been submitted to the Secretary ofthe Treas
ury, who, it is understood, has approved
them, and ordered the coins to be struck.
An effort is being made, also, to revise and
remodel the dies of the gold and silver coins,
so as, while retaining the legal devices and
legends, to give the coins a more artistic and
elegant appearance.
