AN UNFORTUNATE PLIGHT.

The Dubuque Herald relates the fol-
lowing humorous sketch of the misfor-
tunes of an Iowa clergyman:
Thursday last, among the goods ex
pressed from the west by the D. & S. R.
r., were number Of baskets of hen
fruit. Two or three stations this side of
that at which they were placed upon the
car, an ex minister of huge proportion
stepped into the car to speak to the mes
senger. The eggs were in the west end
of the car, and our clerical friend acct
dentally took his position in front of them,
with bis back towards the eggs. While
the twain were conVersing, the traiB sud
denly started forward. The reverend
gentleman was taken unawares by the un-
expected jerk, and he lost his balance.
He found in the basket of eggs just in
his rear. The result of this ministerial
onset-if we so term it, biffl9s all desorip-
ton. Of course the contents of the bas-
ket came to an uulucky end. Ike Parting
ton once set hen on fifty-two eggs, Just
to see her spread herself; here was a man
not used 10 the business who had set him
self on ffty~two dozen. and successful
" accomplished the same result, as anv
one could see. But though backward in
getting into that undignifed position, he
was by no means backward in getting
out. He erected himself and examined
himself. Any member of bis church, if
present, would have recognized in him
not only faithful fellow laborer, but an
earnest yoke fellow. For minute he stood
molionless, except as he with spread and
tremulous fingers in an undecided aud
uncertain way waved his hands with the
air of a mau who had been egged on to
desperation. He certainly presented a
ludicrous aspect. As the precious oint
ment ran down Aaron's beard, so the al,
luminous urgent ran down the preach
er's trowsers legs, spreading translucent
liquidness upon the floor about his feet.
The express messenger took the stove
hearth and did what he could toward
cleaning his friend of-a novel way of
scraping an acquaintance.

But the opening of q new season of
germlnatlon and growth aWakens and
IJustihes hopes of a benefcent change.
From east TO west, from north to south
the telegraph aud the mail reciprocate as.
suranees that the skies are propitious.
True the SHOWS of winter were heavy.
and the fools of spring have bssu de :
structlVer especially on the Lower Missis-
s!pPi; yet the area desolated by inuhda.
ton Is but .speck on the map of our
country; and even this may vet produce
bounteously where planted in Corn. so
fast as reiinquished 10y the subsiding wa
tiers. Though the season is late, there is
every promise of generous harvest; for
The people who no longer crowd the
steamboats, and passeHger-cars are gsner-
all busy at home. Ia spite of the cold,
rainy Spring, large area has been SOW
aud planted, and the people of our rural
districts were never more universally nor
NOR enclentiy at work. Late as the
season ls' their command of effective ma
eniaery lnsures that their growing crops
Will be fairly titled and safely harvested.
Even IL the South, where the blacks are
dH'gent, as Is their habit. there is a FIR
larger proportion of the Whites at work
than ever before. It is quite probable
chat the harvest of 1867, throughout -our
a .lantic and Gulf States, will exc,ed that
OF 1866 by full third; and that we shall
aga;n export Wheat and Flour by next
September.
DO not agree with those who regret
that t ade Ess bsen SO dull for some
mouths past. hold that brisk trade
under the circumstances, would have been
disastrous to the country. rejoice that
many thousands have been absolutely
driven out of the much desire
waysof Traffic into those of production.
Nor do grieve that the Railroads have
received less money from passengers than
they were led to expect, for deem it
best, even for the Railroads, that most
persons should be busy at home rather
than be spending borrowed money IN
travel Whenever more goods are sold
than the surplus products ofthe purchas~
srs will pay for, balance must be struck
by some fashion of bankruptcy, and the
sellers must be tho lcosers. l rejoice
then, in the confident trust that the dull
ness of trade during the earlier half Of
1867 has been benifcent, and that,
through increased production. q brighter
day now opens on the Commerce as we'll

OLD KNAPSACKs.

The following beautiful extracts from
the letter of ga woman in Washington"
to the New York Independent:
saw pile of knapsacks the other sve.,
ming at the cottage on Fouith street.
Knapsacks and haversaoks left behind
for safe keeping by the boys who vent to
the front and never came back. The elo-
quence of these worm eaten and moulded
bags cannot be written. Here was piece
OF stony bread uneaten, the little paper of
coffee, the smoked tin cup in which It had
been boiled so often over the hasty FIRE on
the eve of battle. There was the letter,
sealed, directed and never sent, for the
soldier could not always get q stamp:
Here letter half written, commencing;
Dear Wife-hoW l want to see you"
"Dear Mother-my time is nearly out"
The rusty pen, just as it was lain down
on the half filed sheet, by the gallant and
loving hand which hoped so soon to finish
it. Here tinted with red, Rhite and blue.
Here were photographs Of The faVorits
generals, and photographs of the dear
ones at home. Here were letters of heart
breaking love, aud loyal to duty aud hope,
faith and cheer, written at home, and
here was the testament given him by the
women he loved best, soilsd and worn.
For the American soldier, if be rarely
reads it, still would carry bis testament,
as dear talisman to save him from all
harm. Here we're those mementoes of
the brave, living, loving life gone out.
They never came back. The mournera
at home do not all know where they fell
or where they we're buried. To one IN.
familiar with the soldiers life, these rel.
les might seem little. To me they mean
all love, all suffering, all hsroism; look
on them, and again seem to see the long
lines oflmarching men file past, dust Gov.
cred and warm, OF their way to battle.
/ see the roads of Virginia simmering in
the white heat, lined with exhausted men,
lying down TO sleep and die, after the
last defeat; hear the cry of the wounded,
the moan of the dying, see the half filed
grave, the unburied dead. All the awful
reality of war comes back. So, too, do
knigbtly days and dauntless men. Peace
walks amid the May-time flowers, and sc
ready our soldiers seem almost forgotten.
Days of war and deeds of vslor seem like
dreams, gone by.

Thus says the Springfield (Mass.) Re

There was a noteworthy, illustrative
incident on rail car out of Springfield
the other day. A big black but clean
and we'll dressed "colored brother" en-
tered and sat down by one of the, at least
formerly, ''ruling race The white
man looked venum at the black one, and
Kissing out, "Do you suppose l am go

let me get OUT" squeezed by into the

the side of small Yale student lad from
Springfield. The latter looked at the new
conner and saying, do you suppose

seat by the black man.

with added feeling, and said: 800 yon

man never swears, nor insults a man
because of his color "You shall Be

him, sir" there ensued ga splendid pas
