A REBEL ANECDoTE.-Tn the work by
John Esteu Cooke, entitled, wearing
of the Gray" the following anecdote
occurs, which may, perhaps, be appre-
ciated under the present circumstances:
In 1858 the enemy caught an old coun-
trymRn near Madison Court House and
informed him that he must do one of
two things-either take the oath of alle-
glance to the United States government
or prepare to b. buried alive. He de-
clined taking the oath, when his cap
tors deliberately proceeded in his pres
ence to dig a grave, when it was finish
ed they led him to il and said
t'VVill you take the oath 2''

fIf you don't take the oath YOU will
be buried alive in the grave the next
five minutes 81
The old fellow approached nearer
looked with attention at the pit yawn-
ing before him, and then turning ruund
with his hands In his pockets, calmly
replied:

BREVITIES.

Every bushel of potatoes raised takes
from the ground quarter of a pound of
potash. This suggests the application of
ashes to potato ground.
A Massachusetts farmer says that he
can winter his cows on steamed feed for
onc-third less than on dry feed, and get
one-fourth more milk. This is the result
of five years experience.
The great secret of success in stock
breeding is to ally the best males with the
choicest females. BY this union perfec-
ton is Appropriated.
The present estimate of the number of
cattle in Texas is five million head Raj
sing bceves and selling cotton to the Mex
leans are yielding good profit to the
people of Texas.
There is nothing more certain than the
doctrine that the selling of small fruits,
roots, eggs, &c. by weight, and not by
measure, is better, as general rule, both
for producer and consumer.

One OF the best Of the stories toatlng
about the columns of newspapers about
children being left at the doors of unsus-
pectiug men, accompanied by mysterious
and heartrending notes, is the following,
for which the Cincinnati Times is respon-
siblc:
On the LIST of April, at evening, the
door bell of a Cincinnati merchant rang,
and on the doorstep was found basket
with beautiful little baby in it, and a
note signed "Cora," addressed to the man
of the house, stating that as she was I'M
able to support the child, without his aid,
and as he was as nearly related to it as
she was, the babe was sent to him for good
treatment and education. The appearance
of the child and the explanatory note pro-
duced domestic scene more easily con-
cevcd than described. The husband fell
on his knees, protesting by all the saints
that the child was not his; while the wife
as earnestly protested her belief that it
was his ard nobody's but his. In the
midst of these mutual protestations the
husbands eye Glanced to fall on the emp
ty cradle of his own babe, in one corner of
the room, and the whole thing flashed at
once on him-he was sold, thoroughly
sold, and declared at once that he would
father the child and any others that his
