RrcH, RARE AND RACY.-A citizen of the State
writes to General Scott, under date Of April 8,
as follows: son the 18th of March last, I hired
man from that time to the 25th December,
agreeing to pay him $40, he to do all kinds of
work required of him on a farm; to work from
sunrise till dusk; to pay fifty cents for the first
day, and one dollar per day thereafter, lost by
absence without leave, and twenty-fv cents
for lost days by sickness, to furnish him with
two and half pounds Of bacon and one peck
of meal per week." The writer complains that
the freedman did not keep his contract, but,
without provocation, ran away; and wishes to
know "if there is any recourse to law in any
court OF the United States for damages, or to
bring the man back to proper sense of honor
and JUSTICE Gen. Scott replied on the 11th
inst. as follows

TIE SHE'LL ROAD CERrA1NTY.-The Mayor
stated at the recent meeting Of Council that
he had perfected arrangements with certain
parties who had agreed to construct the shell
road for s1S,500, the work to be done on Gre
dit of one and two years, and payable in city
;bils. The contract has been made with Mr..
Yocum, and the work will be commenced at an
early day. From description Of the road fur
nished by the City Engineer, it appears that it
will reach from Spring-street to the forks of
the road The bed of the road will be at least
thirty feet wide, and thorough drainage Of
the entire route will be accomplished at the
same time. This latter project is necessary to
preserve the health Of that section, and the
expense of the shell road will be but trifing
addition, while it will rebound to the benefit Of
the whole city.

REMOVAL OF DErEcrrvEs.-We learn that
<oHicers Coates, Myers, Chapman and Gray are
the four victims whose heads are to be decapi-
-tated by the municipal axe. These officers are
=among the most energetic and active on the
force, and it may prove a detriment to the
.city if they are removed. The force at present
.consists of but eight officers, one to each ward,
and this, we think, is about as few as could be
well employed. Their efficiency has never
been doubted, and if the proposed reduction is
carried into effect, the citizens will suffer from
9Ttthe depredations of rogues.

AVERSION TO MANUEL LABOR.-FOr
years past, our boys and young men
have exhibited a growing aversion to
honest, manly toll, to manuel labor, or
productive industry of any kind.
In many of our counties, it is becom-
ing a rare sight to see young man,
possessed OF an ordinary school educa-
ton, with perhaps a term or two at
the village academy, engaging himself
in any kind Of fsober, manuel labor.
If he does remain on the farm, in a
large majority of cases, less ofhis time
is spent behind the plOw, than in a
trotting sulky-more of it is devoted
to training fast nag8 than to training
steers; and farm wagons are less to
his taste than spider-wheels and skel-
tons.
Speculation, mining, petroleum, pa
tent rights-any thing that demands
travel, and produces excitement, has
fascination for the young man that
seems irresistible.
To be in the great busy world, and
of it; to talk familiarly with business
men, of thousands, and tens Of thouS-
auds, and hundreds of thousands Of
capital, with which self is, in some
way, connected, has a charm for the
| young man, who seldom remembers
the vast multitude that sink to ruin
while struggling for prizes that only
one in a thousand can possibly obtain.
Commercial pursuits are over-valu-
ed, because they lie more upon the
surface, and are open to observation
but from statistics OF only very few
years ago, and probably correct now,
we know that our animal growth Of
bread stuffs is three to four times the
aggregate value of all our imports and
exports combined.
But it is not alone the young man
OF some pecuniary means that leaves
the farm to engage in some doubtful
yet exciting enterprise, that will bring
wealth without labor; there;is scarce
a day that passes in village or in
country,that some stout, healthy young
man is not met canvassing for some
book, some map or picture, selling
some patent clothes wringer, or cloth
es pima hat hook, hat peg, or {
tooth powder-something of which
with his robust health and strong
frame, he ought to be ashamed, as be
meath the dignity OF an able bodied
man.-Mr. Potrack'S address.

CLovER.-Mr. Geddles in his re-
port on the Agriculture of Onondaga
County n. Y, says; The agriculture
of Onondaga county is based on the
clover plant. 1t is used for pasture,
for hay, and for manure. Strike this
plant out of existence, and revolu-
tion would follow that would make it
necessary for us to learn everything
anew in regard to cultivating our
lands. What their value would be
without clover | will not attempt to
conjecture" The Secretary of the
Main Board of Agriculture in his
last report states that: "Both expert
ments and chemical analysis have de.
monstrated that the manure OF ami
mails fed uppn clover hay, is worth,
bulk for bulk, five times as much as
manure from animals kept upon straw
and other refuse fodder. 1t conse.
quently follows that if the manure
from clover hay is so superior, the
turning under the clover must produce
results equally satisfactory. The in
luence exerted by the roots of the
plant in loosening and pulverizing the
soil is also of immense benefit. The
first year the clover may be cut for
hay, the second plowed under as a
manuring crop. The time for per
forming this operation is when the
plant is in full blossom"

PRAYER ANsWERED.--During the
last illness Of pious mother, when
she was near her death, her only re-
naming child, the subject of many
agonizing and believing prayers, who
had been at sea, returned to pay his
parent a visit. After very affection
ate meeting, "You are near port,
mother" said the hardy-looking sailor,

"Yes, my child; the fair haven is
in sight and soon, very soon, | shall
be landed on that peaceful shore,
where pilgrims meet to part no

"You have weathered many a storm
in your passage. mother; but now
God is dealing graciously with you,

by giving you calm at the end of
your voyage" ho
"God has always dealt graciouSly
with me, my son; "but this last ex-
preston of His kindness, in permit
ting me to see you before | die, is so
unexpected, that it is like a miracle
wrought in answer to prayer"
"Oh, mother!" replied the sailor,
weeping as he spoke, "your prayers
have been the means of my salvation,
and am thankful that your life has
been spared till | could tell you of
it." -
She listened with devout compos-
ure to the account of his conversion,
and at last, taking his hand, she press
ed it to her dying lips and said -
"Yes, thou art faithful God, and as
it hath pleased thee to bring back nay

The SUBS THAT PLANTS ARE FOND
oF.-Sodium is cheaper than potas-
stun. We are not, then, to look for
potassium in anything in which sodi-
um can replace it. In potash we
may find little or none, and none in
saleratus used for cooking. You find
it in no soap except In soft soap
made in families with the lye leached
from ashes. 1t is not improbable
that plants may DE able to substitute
sodium for some part of the POTASH
um they need; but it is on the same
principle that cows on certain islands
are said to eat catfish. Though the
gardener invariably overlooks the
difference in the two kinds of suds
the plant will be sure to find it out
1t fails to find particle of that ele
ment which the soil most needs il
suds made from the common bal
soap.

Music in Camp.
BY JOHN, R. THOMPSON.

Two armies covered hill and plain,
Where Rappahannock's waters
Ran, deeply crimsoned with the stain
Of battles recent slaughters
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In meads ofheavenly azure;
And each dread gun of the elements
Slept in its hid embrasure.
The breeze so softly blew it made
No forest leaf to quiyer,
And the smoke of the random cannonade
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now, where circling hills looked down,
With cannon grimly planted,
Ger lstless camp and silent town,
The golden sunset santcd.
When on the fervid air there came
A strain, now rich, now tender;
"R9TGT dGys yssTd9ffdd itfffgf fsfb93sRaor. fb93ssRHaor
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash of cymbal
Down docked the soldiers to the banks,
Till, margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was blue with "YankS,
And one was gray with "Rebes."
Then all was still, and then the band,
With movements light and tricksy.
Made stream and forest, hill and strand,
Reverberate with "Dixie."
The conscious stream, with FURNISHED glow,
Went proudly Ger its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout its deepest flow
With yelling of the rebels.
Again pause, and then again
The trumpets pealed sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle was the Strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles;
Loud shrieked the swarming Boys in Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugles sang
Above the stormy riot;
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned holy quiet.
/ The sad, low stream its noisless tread
Poured DER the glistening pebbles;
And silent now the Yankees stood,
And silent stood the Rebels.
! No unresponsiye soul had heard
That plaintive notes appealing,
So deeply Home, Sweet Home, had stirred
The hidden founts of feeling;
Or blue or gray, the soldier sees,
As by the wand offalry,
The cottage meath the live oak trees,
The cabin by the prairie.
| Or cold or warm, his native skies
Bend in their beauty DER MIN
Seen through the tear-mist in his eyes,
His loved ones stand before him.
As fades the iris after rain
In ApriPs fearful weather,
| The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory; walked by Music's art,
-. T.. ~-5~St AT siiupiOot nuni"~hS,
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels slumbers.
And the fair form Of Music shines,
That bright, celestial creature,
! Who still mid wars embattled lines
Gave this one touch of Nature.

EARLY GooDERICH PoTAToEs.-
Last year Mr.. Beckett, who deals
pretty extensively in farm, garden,
and flower seeds, sold a few bushels
Of the above potatoes; we have heard
from several who planted a small
quantity, and in every instance the
product was a large yield over other
varieties. They were free from rot,
and of excellent quality. We notice
that they are selling in New England
at from So to $40 per bushel. The

good, but later variety. Mr.. Beckett

The TRUE RELIGION.-"To me it.
is delightful to think that every truth
is eternal, and each error is local and
temporary The Christian nations
are gradually learning that there is
but one religion, that is, in its eternal
form, piety-the love Of God; in its
practical development and manifesto
tions, gooineSS-the love to man.
Christianity is free goodness, free
piety connected with free thought
When nations believe this, as now a
few individuals believe it, what
beautiful world we shall have! What
societies of men and nations! | love
to look or lhc great temples which
once were UulIt III the name Of relig-
ion-on the priesthoods and ecclesi-
astical institutions 1t has founded. In
them | see signs of the power of re
ligiOn, and | look forward to the time
when religion will be a yet greater
power, anu will build up, not theocra-
cies, but democracies when the gov.
ernment is of all, for all, and by all
when we shall build up institutions to
educate all men, so that we shall
have church without bigotry, a state
without despotism of the few over
the many or the many over the few
and society with no want, no igno.
rance, no crime. II seems to me that
our human nature demands this that
God designs it; and that it must
come, not in our day, but far hence.
We can do something to help it for
ward. Wealth is power, wisdom is
power, religion is power; and when
mankind have all these three, what
great results shall we not accomplish
1t is pleasant to think that each one
may do a little toward a wosk so
