THE FARMERS FIRESIDE.

Around the fire, one wintry night
The farmers rosy children sat; ...
The fagot lent its blazing light, "..
And mirth went round, and harmless chat,
When, bark gentle hand they hear
Low tapping at the boltcd door,
And thus, to gain their willing car,
A feeble voice was heard implore
"Cold bows the bias. across the moor,
The sleet drives Kissing In the wind; 30
Yon toilsome mountain lies before,
A dreary trceless waste behind.
My eyes are weak and dim with age .
No road; no path can dcscry; +.-'
And these poor rags III stand the rage
OF such keen, inclcme; sky.
80 faint am, these totterlng feet
No more my palsied frame can bear
My freezing heart forgets to beat
And drifting SHOWS my tomb prepare.
"Opcn your hosptable door,
And shield me from the biting blast;
Cold, cold il blows across the moor,
The weary moor that have passed"
With hasty steps the farmer ran,
And close beside the fire ther place
The poor half-frozen bcggar-man,
With shaking limbs and pale blue face.
The little children flocking came,
And chalcd his frozen hands in theirs
And busily the good old dame
A comfortable mess prepares.
Their kindness checrcd his dropping soul,
And slowly down his wrinkled cheek
The big round tear was seen to roll,
And told the thanks he could not speak.
The children then began to sigh,
And yet all their merry chat was DER;
And yet they felt, they knew not why,
More glad Than they had done before.

Ir is better to sleep in room com'
fortably warm than it is to sleep in a
very cold room, provided there Is good
ventilation, for the reason that less
clothing is required to keep comforta'
BILE. The less clothing, consistent with
comfort, the better, whether awake or
asleep. Warm air is just as good as
cold air, and ventilation Is more easily
secured when there is difference Of
temperature between the air in the room
and that outside. The best way Of
warming and ventilatlng sleeping rooms
is to have an open CRATE fire and open
window. .....

The :tunic Press and its Bcnc-
fits.

It is an established fact, says the
Nashville Banner, in the cobservation Of
years Of experience, that communities
are not apt to recognize the good that
newspapers accomplish i'll their midst
towards the enlargement Of commerce
and the development and advancement
of towns and cities. Cities. which
grow and flourish, are slow to acknowl-
edge the services Of the local ncwspa
per-thc chief agent and instrument
through whose assistance their pros
perity is attained, and to whose unceas-
ing and unilagging efforts their success
is mainly due. The local journal does
its wor, quietly, steadily, and 80 imper
ccptibly, that its benefits are not always
recognized, and for that reason, per
haps, not always acknowledged. The
great public is lead by the nose into the
broad highway OF progress and iin-
provcment, and know not what mystic
rous agency at work within it gives it
prominence and prosperity, and the re
suit is generally attributed to luck or
individual enterprise. 1t is the local
press which advertiscs the community
far and near, and attracts custom to its
busy ware rooms, as il is likewise the
journal of national reputation and iabu.
lous circulation which hcralds the glory
and advancement of nations.

The Radical press are veciferonsly
demanding the publication Of the letter
of Gen. Grant to the President, alluded
to in the correspondence between them
recently published. That letter, we
understand, was q private communica-
ton, voluntarily made by Gen. Grant
hot in answer to anything from the
President to him. Under the circum-
stances, the President, of course, does
not consider himself at liberty to make
it public, without the consent of the
General.

What blessed thing It was for Adj
am and Eve that they lived before the
law-that is, human ordinance, not hca-
venly,
let Us see what they escaped.
In the first place Eve had no mamma
to make judicious inquiries to Adams
social position, prospects ofpatrimony;
and Adam had no governor to see
that he did not throw himself away on
IL portionless girl Neither of them
looked particularly for nobility Of
birth, and they could not quarrel very
well abont blood-tlUugh it must be
confessed that Adams family was by
some short while the more ancient OF
the two. Then they escaped the SOL
cmn family council convened at the Of.
lice of the family solicitor, to consult
about settlement.
There was no awful piece of parch-
mcnt gorgcously engrossed, rcciting
that whereas the said Eve, party of
the first part, being about to be con
tractcd in marriage to the said Adam,

king minute and intricate provisions OF
her separate property to the trustees,
parties of the second part, to be holden
to amt for her sole and separate use,
benefit and behoof, for and during her
said marriage; and finally, winding up
with the declaration that" to the said
conveyance, the said Adam has entire
ly agreed and the same has ratified, con-
iirmed and consented to, and by these
present does ratify, confirm and coh.
sent to each and every part and parcel
thereof f,'-and to which awful docu-
mcnt Adam must set his manly hand;
Eve her trembling signature, and trus-
tees, witnesses, notarics and what not
their unintclligible scrawls.

budencd by any accounts of cercmo-
MES that lead us toNlink otherwise
than that, at the ripe age of fifteen min
utcs, Eye was seen By Adam, that she
captivatcd him instantly, and they were
