THIS Drill is now being extensively introduced

The old method Of planting corn in hills 10
rapidly being superseded by the IMPROvED
method OF drilling, by which, If properly done,
from FIVE to ten per cent. per acre is added to the
yield.
The Campbell drill is on the principle Of the
DRIVING WHEEL and REVOLVING DROP
PLATE or DISK, which is the very best for dis
tributing the seed, as the grain is Immediately
within the view of the operator from the time it
leaves the seed box until IL is deposited in the
ground. and is instantly covered, by deposit
with two shires, of mellow earth, which protects
the corn during the first working.
Nearly all of the raised in the Great Mi
ami and Whitewater Valleys is planted with the
Campbell drill, aud from the knowledge we have
acquired in the last ten years In manufacturing
Corn Drills, we have no hesitation in saying,
that, with the present improvements We have
adopted, we have the best Corn Drill In use. One
boy and horse plant fast one man can
fu.row out, and farmers say that tits easier tended
than corn planted in hills.
To plant Broom Corn or Sorghum We furnish
device when ordered which closes the holes in the

SERGEANT Bates REcEPrIoN AT WASHING.
oN.--Washington, April IA Sergeant
Bates was escorted by some dozen or twenty
citizens and apparently the entire boothlack
brigade of Washington to day. Bates laid
over at Alexandria yesterday to afford plenty
of time to arrange for the reception. At
ten A. NJ. be reappeared at the Virginia end
of the Long Bridge. Senator Doolittle rode
ont on horseback to meet him, attended by
four committeeman, all wearing silk hats,
and all thornurghly soaked and looking as
uncomfortable as possible. Mr.. Dooltte
got off. shook the water off his hat, and
shook hands with Bates. The whole party
then came over the bridge, and not finding
the expected escort stopped in a beer tavern
and waited till ore P. N. After this time
the four committeeman on horseback, two
hacks with sickly band, and the aforesaid
bootblacks proceeded to the White House
and marched through the grounds with
drums beating as we'll as the rain would
allow, and flag flying as much as drench-
ed flag could. The President failed to make
connection, and did not put in an appear
ence till the crowd got out of the grounds
when he came out on the porch, and some
one hailing the flag party, and calling
attention to the fact, the procession turned
back. the band gurgied out " Hail to the
Chief" when the President shook hands
with Bates. and made his usual opening
speech to his delegations which visit him
Bates and the Committeeman were invited
into the East Room. when the President
repeated his congratulations. Another party
presented him with bouquet. while third
stole his hat. After general search and
many entreaties, this was restored, and the
party started for the Capitol. Four men
rode in advance; Bates. surrounded by
about two hundred bootblacks. followed. and
two blacks brought up the rear. Arrived at
the Capitol. the party was not allowed to
enter until such certain permission deemed
necessary was granted but the committee
men would not wait, and Indignantly hurried
the flag man back to the Washington Mon
ument. where he displayed it to small and
not select audience. After getting through
with the unfurling, Bates hurried off to
dinner at the hotel. Eldridge, Wise and
Morgan. of Ohio. expressed their mutual
| delight at meeting Mr.. Bates under such
circumstances. The committeeman who es
| corted the street parade, were selected for
the occasion by the Conservative Army and
Navy Union. the Anti Radical Club. The
whole thing was farce of large proportions.

A WIFE, says Mr.. Lofty, is woman that
belongs to a man. She is a pretty little
creature made to tickle his fancy, his vanity,
and his self love, and to laugh, sing and
dance through his otherwise dull habitation.
But with her dance, mind you, she must see
that the dinner is always well cooked that
the buttons and the hose are all right, and
that in the whole household economy never
interferes with his comfort In short wife
is pleasant sort of universal servant to her
husbands will and pleasure, most agreeable
provision made by the Creator for mans
good. She is compound of flowers, music,
and domestic animal-very useful and very
ornamental-all the more desirable for her
lack of mental powers because, were she
not in this respect so much inferior to her
decreed lord and master, she might become
so presumptuous as to think that shoe which
fits one foot ought to fit the other that good
rules work both ways and that just so
much comfort ms she gives she has a right to
demand in return and just so much honor
and respect as she pays she should receive
in short that she is in number and import
ance ofrights and privileges, the peer of her
husband. Thus saith Mr.. Lofty-and now
hear the response of Mr.. Common-Sense
Nay but wife is given neither for toy
nor servent, but for steadfast friend
She is a tount of joy and pleasure, such as,
to true heart, there is not elsewhere on
earth she is. indeed, the brightener of his
house, and the wise, and careful manager
of her family-of her famiy-for whatever is
his is hers and between welded hearts the
words mine and thine are impudence and
absurdity. But she is more, than this-she
is his confident, his adviser his ever-sympa-
thizing friend-his able and most tender
consoler, his strength even when his ge
d-oops; she is the voice of Gods love and
comfort to him as he tolls and struggles
wife is. if she answers to her Makers ideal;
but she is seldom found, alas because man
is SO unworthy.

The Beautiful Snow"
Steady, boys, steadyl
Keep your arms ready
God only knows whom we may meet here;
Don't let me be taken
I'd rather awaken,
Tomorrow, in-no matter where
Than lie in that foul prison hole-ovsr there.
Step slowlyi
Speak lowlv
These rocks may have life,
Lay me down in this hollow;
We are out of the strife.
BY heaven I! the foeman may track me in blood
For this hole in my breast is outpouring food
No! no surgeon for me, he can give no aid;
The surgeon l want is pick and spade.
What, Morris, tear? why shame on ye, man!
| thought you hero but since you began
To whimper and cry, like girl in her teens,
BY George don't know what the devil it means !
Well well I am rough tits very rough school,
This life of troopor-but yet I'm no fool
know brave man, and friend from foe;
And, boys, that you love me very well know
But wasn't it grand,
When they came down the hill over sloughing and
sand
Unheeding their balls and repelling their shock?
Did you mind the loud cry,
When as turning to fly,
Our men sprang upon them, determined to die?
Oh wasn't it grand?
God help the poor wretches who fell in that fight,
No time was there given for prayer or for flight;
They fell by the score, in the crash hand to hand,
And they mingled their blood with the sloughing
and sand.
Huzza!
Great Heavens! this bullet hole gapes like grave,
curse on the aim of the traitorous knave
Isthere never one of ye know how to pray,
Or speak for man as his life ebbs away?
Pray

There is something about forgiveness of sin.

I'll follow your words and say an amen.
Here. Morris, old fellow, get hold of my band
And Wilson, my comrade-oh? wasn't it grand
When they came down the hill like a thunder
charged cloud,
And were scattered like mist by our brave little
crowd
Where's Wilson, my comrade-here, stoop down
your bead,
Can't you say short prayer for the dying and
dead?
Christ God, who died for sinners all,
Hear thou this supplant wanderers cry;
Leave not cen this poor sparrow fall
Unheeded by Thy gracious eye.
Throw wide Thy gates to let him in,
And take him, pleading to Thine arms;
Forgive, 0 Lord this lifelong sin,
And quiet all bis fierce alarms"
God bless you, my comrade, for singing that hymn
1t is light to my path, when my sight has grown

ABRAHAM AND SARA.-The Talmnd has
pretty story, teaching US that those who
believe in it, esteemed but one object in ma.
ture of higher value than pearls. When
Abraham approached Egypt, the book tells
us, he locked Sara in chest that none might
behold her beauty. But when he was come
to the place of paying custom. the officer said.
" Pay custom ~ And he said: Il will pay
the custom" They said to him Thou car
riest clothes" And he said will pay
for clothes" Then they said to him -
Thou earliest gold" And he answered
them: 81 will pay for gold" On this
they further said !: "Surely thou bear
est the fine silk" He replied " will pay
custom for the finest silk" Then they said
"Surely it must be pearl that thou takest
with thee" And he only answered: II
will pay for pearls" Seeing that they
could name nothing of value for which the
patriarch was not willing to pay custom,
they said: g. 1t cannot be but thou open
the box and let US see what is within ?''-
So they opened the box, and the whole land
of Egypt was illumined by the lustre of
Sara's beauty far exceeding that of pearls
