lieve the poor. In this sphere of charity
she can compare with man. 1t was not wo-
man who slept in the garden of Gethsemane;
it was not woman who refused to follow
Christ to the cross; but it was woman who
poured out her tears and then washed His feet
with the hair Of her head.
It is important to take care of the tongue
and temper. We should see twice as much
as we say. Some wives tongues, however,
are like RAJ horses, the lighter the load the
faster they run. And by this continual fret
ting they make mems lives burdens to them;
and when death puts the seal of silence up
on them, husbands can say with the bereaved
clergyman who preached his better-half's fu-
neral sermon pointing to the coffin, said he:
g There the wicked cease from troubling =
and then placing his hand on his heart,
here the weary are at rest. Others may
not be veritable scolds, and yet they make
home uncomfortable by fretting. Nothing
is more repulsiye than an unruly tongue
Nature is changed by sunshine; 50 a kind
word from woman has wonderful charm.
Her sphere is home, and there is the real
throne Of her power. In the retired realms
of the domestic life, character is formed, and
heaven has given to her the mission of TAX
ing the whole world, in its infancy, and sha-
ping it. God has created her to the highest
sphere in the world; and infinite goodness
pillows the infants head upon its mothers
breast The fruit of this is the honor of the
household; and from high places come back
praises to her.
There are some who think that they should
leave homo and take the stump But, oh,
what a mistake. All great and good men
have had domestic mothers, whose presence
has been the controlling power Of their after
lives. When John Adams was Minister to
Hague, he took his son, John Quincy Ad-
ans, then a lad of great promise, with him.
At dinner party, some one toasted John
Quincy for his wonderful talents. The faith
er arose to his feet, and, in response, with
eyes filed with tears, replied " Gentlemen,
l thank you for the respect shown my son.
John Quincy has a mother has mother"
And that mother, in letter to her boy, ac-
tually shaped and developed his great life
and no man knew that so we'll as he.
The last words of Henry Clay, as death
was stealing over him, were, g Mother
mother-mother" She had died fifty years
before, but her name was the first on his lips
in childhood, and the last in death. And SO
woman is the morning and evening star Of
life

By WHAr NAME-The colored people
generally are very sensitive upon the matter
Of the terms commonly employed to describe
or to distinguish them from the white race.
The subject should not trouble them at all,
seeing that &c par ;oaIaE ass.na whatever can
be applied to them which viii in all respects
meet the case. The word freedman" will
not answer because all are not freedmen
The word t'colored' vii not apply to them
any more than it would to the so called white
race; neither black and white being "eol-
ors," but decided negatives.
Taking the prehensiveness Of the term
in view, the white people have more color
than the black, and if either should be called
'scolored'' it ought to be the former. 1t is a
distinction, however, Of which the white peo-
pie are not disposed to rob the latter.
The term "negro" cannot apply to all,
while it does apply to some, as we find it de-
fined as some Of the black, woolly- headed,
fat-noscd, and thick Tipped race Of men in
habiting Africa" We showed the other
dav the word Sambo' to mean the &c off
spring Of the mulatto and the negro;" and
" mulatto'' means the offspring of parents
one Of whom is white and the other black.
" Cufee," another common term is doubtless
derived from the word Caffree, an inhabitan.
of one of the countries of Southern Africa
And inasmuch as the mixture which pervades
them as people, is in the way, they cannot
legitimately be styled Africans. To be nice
and particular in designating them, therefore
we must call each after the name which his
tory and the dictionary have given him.
None of their names have any other than a
serious and actual significance, however I'M
pleasant they may sound On account of their
associations. If however there must be one
particular appellation, what shall it be p
Exchange.

A NEW ECONOMY OF PowER-Some in
genious yankee has invented machine
of the business-and- pleasure-combined des-
cription, which is rather amusing
The machine is called the power swing"
and consists of wheel, cog, and treadle ar
rangement, by which the swinger can, with
foot, not only do his own swinging easily,
but may at the same time set in motion a
churn, a wood saw. a pump, Or washing
apparatus, as he pleases. It is, in fact, a
case Of "pay- your-money-and- take your
choice" combination. A country editor has
had experience of one of these swings, and
says it reminded him of the gentle and easy
motions Of the Graded deep, without any
fear Of shpwreck OR sea Sickness
Victims Of the soapy sisterhood may
henceforth enjoy tho luxury Of doing their
own washing. Every man may become his
own woodsawyer. Delicate or overworked
mothers can rock the cradle, sew, and churn
the butter in manner highly conducive to
health and comfort. A further improve
ment may be suggested: a hand organ or
other musical instrument might be connec-
ted with the swing, and the household labors
performed with the double accompaniment of
restful motion and refreshing harmony

A Clergyman, who enjoys the substantial
benefits Of q fine farm, was slightly taken
down few days ago by his Irish plowman,
who was sitting at his pillow, in tobacco
field, resting his horse. The reverend gen.
tleman, being an economist, said, with great
seriousness
"John, wouldn't it be a good plan for you
to have stub scythe here, and be cutting a
few bushes along the fence while the horse
is resting a short time ?"
John, with quite as serious a countenance
as the divine wore himself, said
"Wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to have
a tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and when
they are singing, to peel 'em awhile to be
ready for the pot p
The reverend gentleman laughed heartily
and left.

The Dream Of Abraham Lincoln.

In the course of Judge Pierrepont's argu-
ment, in the Surratt case, he alluded to a
dream Of Mr.. Lincoln, which on several oc-
casions had occurred to him before great ma
tona calamities This dream he had the
night before his assassination, and the next
day he mentioned the fact to General Grant,
among others, saying that he feared some
great evil. and expressing strong desire tc
hear from Sherman, who was then in North
Carolina, and whose army was the only one
not in Geographic communication with Wash
ington. Judge Pierrepoint did not relate the
dream itself: but Mr.. Lincoln related it be-
fore his death, and like everything in any way
connected with that tragedy it cannot fail to
have considerable interest. He seemed to
be at sea in vessel, that was swept along
| by an irresistible current toward malestrom
from which it seemed no power could save
her. Faster and faster the whirling waters
swept the fated ship toward the vortex, I'M.
til, looking down into the black abyss, amid
the deafening roar of the waves, and with
the sensation of sinking down, down, down
an unfathomable depth, the terrified dreamer
awoke. The same terrific dream Mr.. lin
coin had four times first before the first bat
tie of Bull Run, again before the second dis
astrous defeat at the same place, again before
the battle of Murfreesboro, and finally as
above mentioned, on the night before his own
assassination. -Petersbu1y Eaprcss

SUMNER CoMpLA1NTs.-A Philadelphia
physician, in view of the fact that the g sea-
son is at'hand when many persons are liable
to attacks Of diarrhoea, &C., publishes the
following recipe: For an attack Of diar-
rhoea or looseness, take a quarter of tea
spoonful Of ground Peruvian bark, mix in
half wine glass of pure brandy Ono water;)
take this upon the rery first symptoms, and
remain quiet, laying upon the back, in a we'll
ventilated and cool apartment, but avoid ex-
tremes of heat and cold and draughts Of air.
After this has been administered about an
hour, take q teaspoonful of arrowroot, made
in the same way as starch, to which add an
equal quantity of brown (not white) sugar
and ten drops of essence Of ginger, to be re-
peated three times per day. This is intend
ed for an adult. and half the quantity for a
child under twelve years of age"

AN IMPORTANT ENrERpRIsE.-We have
received letter from German gentleman
in New York, who states that he will be in
Richmond in few days, for the purpose of
making arrangements to locate a large facto-
ry for the manufacture of woollen and cotton
hosiery. 1t is his purpose to employ 500 or
600 girls in the business, and he desires to
obtain information as to eligible sites, water
power, etc., etc. We infer from his letter
that his plan is modification of the joint
stock cooperative labor companies, which
have been so successfully tried in the North

CAUSE OF THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF WIS

for the collection Of tax on the distilled IL

be efficient for the object. The metropolitan

the current frauds by which the tax is eva

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth
The impulse of a worthless prayer,
The dream of love and TRUTH
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes:
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
That kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves the friend indeed.
The plea of mercy softly breathed
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow Of a contrite heart:
These things shall never die.
The memory of a claspinG hand,
The press,sre of a kiss,
And all the trifes, sweet and frail,
That makes up loves first bliss,
If with a firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as itfell,
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell.
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high;
In an unfading record kept,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do,
Lose not chance to waken love,
Be firm, and just, and true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voice say 10 thee;
These things shall never die.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION ALI the pro-
cesses for preserving the bodies of the dead
now ia use are likely to be superseded by
newly invented burial case by means ofwhich
the remains Of deceased person may be
kept unchanged for an indefinite period
The value of this discovery has been fully
tested at the Bellevue Hospital, where, un
der the direction of Professor Doremus, q
corpse already commencing to decompose
was placed in one Of these cases, where it re-
manned unchanged for forty days. At the
expiration of that time it was exposed to the
air, and up to the present period (thirty days
from the date of exposure) the body has been
thoroughly preserved from decomposition,
no smell being perceptible. y World,

THE ETERNAL WoRLD.-No fragment 0
an army ever survived so many battles as the
Bible no citadel ever whist God so. many
sieges; no rock was ever battere by SO many
storms And yet it stands. 1t has seen the
rise and downfall of Daniels four empires.
Assyria contributes a few mutilated figures
to the riches of our national museum. Me-
dia and Persia, like Babylon, which they
conquered, have been weighed in the balance
and long ago found wanting. Greece faint
ly survives in its historic fame "'Tis living
Greece no more" and the iron Rome of the
Caesars is held in precarious occupation by a
feeble hand And yet the book that foretells
all this still survives.
While nations, kings, philosophers, sys-
tens, institutions, have died away, the Bible
still engages mems deepest thoughts, is ex-
amined by the keenest intellects, stands re-
vered before the highest tribunals, is more
read and sifted and debated, more devoutly
loved and more vehemently assailed, more
defended aud more denied, more Industrious
ly translated and freely given to the world,
more honored and more abused, than any
other book the world ever saw.
It survives all changes, itself unchanged ;
it moves all minds, yet is moved by none F.; it
sees all things decay, itself incorruptible /; it
seesmyriads of other books engulfed in the
stream Of time, yet is borne along trium-
phantly on the wave; and will be borne
along, till the mystic angel shall plant his
foot upon the sea, and swear by Him that
liveth forever that time shall be no longer
g For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory
Of man as the flower Of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth
away; but the Word of the Lord endureth
forever CA2qstidn Observer.

HOME PAPERs.-Recolect that if a homo
weekly paper is to be supported, home infu-
ence must do it. Every dollar sent to an
eastern paper is at the expense of the local
journal. A country acquires prominence
through its papers more than in any other
way, and to every one who has the interest
in his county at heart, his home is necessi-
ty. Never will such a man take paper
from home until he is able to take second
paper His first paper will be his home
sheet, and he will so identify his own inter-
est with that of his county paper, as to con-
slider his subscription as much matter of
yearly duty as payment of his taxes.

Canning Corn.

Canning corn says writer in the Proc-
ticM Farmer, is feat easily enough per-
formed Any body that can boil potato
may can corn. But to can corn to keep we'll
is an accomplishment that none of our popu-
lar professional Gamers of fruits and vegeta-
bles have quite reached yet: but by boiling
corn five to six hours absolutely to death)
so that the best canned maize we can find
has as much the character of good green
corn as it has of handful of dried pea pods
not much more so.
worked faithfully, and always unsatis-
f.ctorily, at corn canning through four sea-
sons before coming to result that IN the
least satisfied me- But at length stumbled
in the dark upon plan by which have
been enabled to can corn successfully with
one hours boiling, and bring it out after one
year | snow-ten I believe, with very near
all the favor of fresh gathered green corn.
First, boil the corn previously fifteen min
utes, on the ear This hardens the outside
of the grains so that they are readily shelled.
Then the grain is dried in pans for an hour
in the warm sunshine. Next move is to salt
it just SO much as will season it for the table,
FIJI tin cans with it, leaving a half inch of
space, put gill Or SO of water into each can,
seal up, leaving only an aperture the size Of
large pin for the escape Of gas.
Thus prepared, | place the cans in fiat bot
toned kettle, having in it enough water to
reach within half an inch of the top Of the
cans. Then boil moderately three quarters
of an hour, and with drop of solder seal up
the vent in each can as it is taken from the
kettle.
Corn prepared and canned in this manner
and set away in cool place, l believe will
keep perfectly sweet and good as long as it
is required to keep it.
Our western savages have method by
which they preserve green corn on the cob
throug the winter perfectly sweet and fresh.
| have not quite reached the Indians corn
secret; but by the aid and advice of Coos
no." who has been so much among the Wy
andots, Ottowas, Sacks, Foxes, Chippewas,
Pawnees, and Fetons of the Burnt w cod,
that he is himself half barbarian, have
got SO near to the savage practice that think
[ can venture to say that green corn Oh the
ear may be kept in good condition through
the winter, and the next spring and summer
till corn comes again, by observing the fol-
lowing rules
| Gather the ears when the grainsare fully
developed, before they begin to glaze. First
soak them half an hour in salt pickle made
strong enough to float an egg. Then rinse
off in clean, cold water, and lay the cars in
warm, clear weather on boards out in the
sun, or as well, indoors, over steady heat
from a stove, drying gradually for ten days
until the grains are shrivelled like sugar corr
and all the moisture is dried out Of the cob
Then all that is required is to pack in wood
en- boxes, and place where there is no damp
ness, and but slight atmospheric change.
When wanted for use. soak ten or twelve
hours in tepid water, when the grains will
be found fairly filed out, and you may have
green boiled corn on the cob almost equal t(
that but an hour from the field.
