VOL. XLVIII.
The Cider Nil

Under the blue New England skies,
/ Flooded with sunshine, a valley lies;
The mountains clasp It, warm and sweet
Like a sunny child, to their rocky feet.
Three pearly lakes and a hundred
streams
Lie on its quiet heart Of dreams
Its meadows are the greenest ever
seen
Its harvest fields have the brightest
sheen:
Through its trees the softest sunlight
shakes,
And the whitest lilies gem its lakes.
1 love, oh better than words can tell,
Its every rock, and grove and dell:
But most IIove the gorge where theriII.
Comes down by the old brown cider mill.
Above the clear springs gurgle out,
And the upper meadows wind about.
Then join, and under willows flow
Round knobs where blue-beech whip
stocks grow,
To rest in a shaded pool that keeps
The oak-trees clasped in its crystal
deeps.
sheer twenty feet the water falls
Down from the old dams broken walls,
spatters the knobby bouIders gray,
And, laughing, hies in the shade away,
Under great roots, through trout-pOols
still,
With many a tumble, down to the mill.
All the way down the nut trees grow,
And squirrels hide above and below.
Acorns, beeehuuts, chestnuts there
Drop all the fall through the hazy air
And burrs roll down with curled up
leaves,
In the mellow light Of harvest ewes.
For ever there the still, old trees
Drink a wine of peace that has no lees.
By the roadside stands the cider mill,
Where a Iowland slumber waits the riu
A great, brown building, two stories,
high,
On the western hilI-faee warm and dry:
And odorous piles of apples there
FIJI with incense the golden air:
And heaps of pumice, mixed with
straw,
To their amber sweets the late flies
draw.
The carts back up to the upper door,
And spill their treasures on the floor:
Down thro' the toothed wheels they go
To the wide, deep cider press below;
And the screws are turned by slow de-
grees
Down on the straw laid cider cheese;
And with each turn fuller stream
Bursts from beneath the groaning beam
An amber stream the gods might sip,
And fear no morrow's parched lip.
But wherefore gods? Those ideal toys
Were souless to real New England boys.
What classic goblet ever felt
Such thrilling touches through it melt
As throb electric along a straw
When boyish lips the cider draw
The years are heavy with weary sounds
And their discord Iife's sweet music
browns
But yet I hear, oh sweet, oh ! sweet,
The rill that bathed my bare, brown feet;
And yet the cider drips and falls
On my inward ear atintervals;
And IIean at times in a sad sweet dream,
TO the babbling of that little stream;
And sit in a visioned autumn still,
In the sunny door Of the cider mill.

the "Confederaey, anxiouely." asked
what he would do with JEFF Davis.
There was a boy in SprinRfi eld, "
rejoined Mr.. Lincoln, who saved up
his money and bought a coon, which,
after the novelty wore of, became
great nuisance. He was one day lead
ing him through the streets, and had
his hand full to keep clear Of the little
vixen who had torn his clothes half off
him. At length he sat down on a curb
completely tagged out A man pas
sing was stopped By the lads discon-
solate appearance. and asked the mat
ter. "Oh, was the reply, this coon
IS such a trouble to me why
don't you get rid Of him, then" said
the gentleman. Hush u said the
boy, "dou't you see he is gnawing his
rope otfr am going to let him do It
and then L will go home and tell the
folks that he got away from me"
Some persons were discussing iu Mr..
Lincolu's presence on a certain occas-
ion General McClellan's military ca
pacity. TT is doubtless true that he Is
a good engineer" said the President;
but he seems to have q special talent
for developing a stationary engine"
When Mr. Lincoln handed to his
friend Gilbert his appointment as as
SCISSOR in the Wall street district, New
York, he said "Gilbert, from what
I can learn, I judge that you are going
upon good missionary ground. Preach
God and liberty to the bulls" and
bears" and get all the money you can
for the Government"
One of Mr.. Lincoln's illustrations"
in my hearing, on one occasion, was
Of a man who iu driving the hoops Of
a hoRshead to head" it up was much
annoyed by the constant falling in Of
the top. At length the bright idea
struck him Of putting his little boy in
to hold it up. This ne did it never
occurring to him till after JOB was
the way some people do business"

Asoent of Monnt Hood.

A correspondent Of the Springfield
Mass.1 Republican gives an account
Of the ascent of Mount Hood, Oregon,
recently, by Professor A. Wood and a
party of gentlemen. It would seem
that Mount Hood is really a volcano,
aud that it is the highest mountain ia
The United States-l7, 900 feet high.
he SAYS the summit area is of very
limited dimeusioDs--a crescent in
shape, half a mile in length, and from
thirty to hfty feet in width. It Is a
fearful place, as it is the imminent
brow of precipice on the north. sheer
down not less than a vertical mile Of
bare oOlumnar rock. This hight is
lifted so far above all other bights, eX-
cept the four distant snoW-clad peaks
TO the north, and Mount Jefferson on
the south, that the country beneath
seemed depressed to a uniform level,
md the horizon retreated TO a distance
Of more than 200 miles. including near
y all Oregon and Washington Terri
tories. The sublimity and grandeur of
that view l must leave to the imagIua-
ton of the reader. A canon of enOr-
nous depth pluDges down along the
southeast bank, and is filed in part bV
4 glacier evidently in motion, and haV-
ing below a very abrupt termination
Terminal and lateral moraines mark
its course, and a torrent of water is
sues from beneath. While we delayed
here, an avalanche of rocks, an i'm
mense mass, started by the wind, thun-
1ered down the left wall of this canon
several thousand feet, and its track
vas marked by trail of white smoke.
On the left side of the ancient crater,
1t the base of a vast craggy pinnacle Of
rocks, "a portion of the ancient rim Of
the crater) is still an open abyss, whence
issue constantly volumes of a strongly
smoke. That there is also
heat there is evident from the immense
depression of the snow above this place
depressed not less than one thousand
feet below the SHOWS which Gil TO the
brim other portions Of the ancient
crater.

The wool sack has for ages been
termed II seat nf the Lord Chancellor
10 the English House Of Lords. It is
a large square bag of wool, without
back or arms, covered with red cloth.
1t is represented as having originated
10 very early times-when the great
business of life was in keeping herds
aud focks-in producing the simple
necessities of life, and manufacturing,
N the primitive way, the heeces Of
their docks, which were their principal
material at that time for that purpose,
into clothing, When any dispute
lrose, the judge or justice in the case
mounted a wool sack. Hence tie in
PRODUCTION Of it into the dignity Of the
legislative or parliamentary proceed
ings of Great Britain. It looks like a.
large feather bed. The Lord Chan
eellor is said to have taken his seat
upon the wool sack, but he sits ia a
chair beside it.

public are advised, no steps have been
taken to bring him to trial Though
the laws of this country guarantee him
a speedy trial he cannot get it. In feeble
health, cut off from the associations Of
friencs and the allurements Of the world,
and deprived Of the free air of heaven,
he languishes in prison the victim of ar
bitrary power Why is this monstrous
mercy permitted 7 Have his keepers
forgotten that he lives, and is the time
of his confinement 10 have no end ?
Surely it cannot be the intention to vio-
late the sacred laws of humanity and
trample the constitution under foot that
vengeance may be visited on this help
less and prosecuted man. There must
be power somewhere to give him relief.
There must be duty somewhere to
bring him to trial or turn him loose.
Every moment that he is debarred is an
outrage upon justice and a stigma upon
American law. IL he isto be tried, why
this long and cruel delay II he has
done nothing to justify his trial, why not
liberate him ? No one believes that he
will ever be tried and it is not lawful
to keep him in prison unless convicted
of some crime. Whatever olfense he
may have committed, his long and dreary
Imprisonment is sufficient atonement,
and the sentiment of the civilized world
is in favor of his release. Therefore
throw open the prison doors and set the
captive free Louisville Courier

Petroleum Stoves. for cooking and heating Pc
treleum Gas Lights, more brilliant and econom-
ical than any coal gas ever made and Petro-
leum Engines. that have been pronounced the
wonder of the age.

Cooking, Washing, Baking, Roasting, Broil-
ing, Stewing, Frying. etc, etc., etc. better
and with less expense. than any other stove
now in use.

ses-for Timers ,Tailors. Hatters Silver Platers,
Dentists, Photographers. Nulcanizers, etc. Al

fire under perfect control; itlessens the danger
Of explosion. as the tubes can never get foul; il
takes up less room and, above all, il can be
