EATrRDAY NIGHT.-As the shades of
the evening gather around, and daylight
fades into twilight, what a sense Of re-
pose comes over the soul, as the laborer
reflects that his weeks work is done, and
that for one day. at least, he can rest
that he can gain spiritual refreshment
for his weary soul-that in the family
circle, among the loved ones. he can re-
count the joys and so,rtws Of the pa I,
and anticipate the good or i'll which yet
lies in the s,orehouse OF the future-an-
ticipating. also, with the eye OF faith.
thai higher rest and holier communion
which is reserved for Us IN our final
home in Heaven.
JoErSe.-In the Senate, a few days
ago. Mr.. Henderson OF Missouri and Mr..
Sumner Of Massachusetts, were speaking
upon the question of wolnan's night TO
vote, when Mr.. Yates of Illinois gave
those two gentlemen quietus upon the
subjec. by the following remark: when
two gentlemen arrive at the age, one of
sixty-three and the other Of forty-nine,
without attesting their appreciation of
women by getting married, they have no
right TO discuss the question Of women
nights in the Senate" 1t is needless TO
add that hearty laugh ensued at the
expense Of those two bachelor Senators.
WHIsTLISG.-The man who don't be-
iieve in whistling, should go step far
ther. and put muzzle on bobolinks and
mocking-birds Whistling is great in
stitution. II oils the wheels of care. and
supplies the place of sunshine. A man
who whistles has good hear, under his
shirt-front. Such man not only works
more willingly than any other man, but
he works more constantly. A whistling
cobler will earn as much again money as
cordwainer who gives way to low
spirits and Indigestion. Mean or avari-
cious men never whistle.
"ffe that hath no whistle in his mouth,
Is Ill for treason stratagems and spoils."
THE VALUE OF 4 BAR OF IRoN.-A
bar of iron, originally valued at five dol
lars, is worth, when worked into horse
shoes, ten dollars and fifty cents; into
needles, three hundred and fifty-tive
dollars into penknife blades, three thou
sand two hundred and eighty-five dol
lars; into shirt buttons, twenty-nine
thousand four hundred and eighty dol
lars; into balance springs of watches,
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Thirty-one pounds of iron have been
made into upwards of one hundred and
eleven miles in length, and so fine was
the fabric that part of it was converted
lin lieu of horse hair-into wig.
MANURING TREEs.-Now is a good
time to put some manure around your
fruit trees. The early spring rains will
carry the soluble elements into the soil,
and cause them to start with fresh vigOr
in early spring and summer. Apple |
trees will send out their roots great |
distance for food. We have cut Off roots
a distance of forty feet from an apple
tree. Thus single tree may extend its
roots across the diameter of circle $50 |
feet in circumference.

Gen. Sherman has written a letter.
which Gen. Grant indOrses, recommend
ing the employment of Indians on the
frontier and on the prairies as mounted
scouts, relieving our cavalry from har-
RAISING duty, which involvs large ex-
pense when they are employed.
a letter from Savannah states that the
rice fields Oh the Georgia coast are fast
degenerating into unproductive swamps.
The negroes who formerly cultivated
the plantations under the stimulus of
the lash, now that they are free refuse to
labor on them, preferring the cotton
plantations in the uplands. White
men cannot stand the miasma of the
swamp, and it is believed that the rice
cultivation will soon be abandoned.
