who says his COW gives all the milk that
is required in family Of eight persons,
and from which was made 260 pounds Of
butter in cne year, says thatif you desire
to get a large yield of rich milk, give
your cows, three times day, water,
slightly warm and slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred, at the ratio
of one quart to two gallons of water.
By this daily practice q COW will gain 70
por cent. Immediately under the effect OF

TApoR-Labor, honest labor, is mighty

LABoR.-Labor, honest labor, is mighty
and beautiful Activity is the ruling ele-
ment of life, and it's highest relish. Lux.
uries and conquests are the results of
labor; we can imagine nothing without
it, The noblest man on earth is ho who
puts his hands cheerfulIy and proudly TO
honest labor. Labor is q busineso and
an ordinance of God. Suspend labor,
and where is the glory and pomp of earth
the fruit, folds and palaces, and the
fashionings of matter of which men strive
and war? Let the labor scorner look to
himself. and learn what are the trophies.
From the crown of his head to the sole Of
his foot, unless he is Carib, naked as the
beast, he is the debtor and slave of toll.
The labor which he scorns has tricked
him into the stature and appearance of a
man. Where gets he his garmenting and
equipage Let labor answer Labor
which makes music in the mine, and the
furrow, and the forge. O. scorn labor,
do you-man who never yet earned a
mersel of bread. Laborpities you, proud
fool, and laughs you to acorn. You shall
pass to dust forgotten. but labor will live
on forever, glorious in its conquests and
monuments.

During Gen. Lees advance upon Ma

When the army commenced to retire from

tween these parties, no question remains
that the official life of the clerk, holding
ONCE by vitture of the election of 1864.
came rightfully to an end upon the elec-
ton of Farris at the regular election Of
March, 1866. 1t, can, therefore, be =
matter of no consequence to the old
clerk, that he was denied the right to
Introduce evidence Of his election in
March. 1864.
The seventh section of the schedule
to the amendments of the constitution,
ratified February %, 1865, likewise may
well disproye of the controversy between
the parties here. The section referred
to, declares that "All civil and military

of the State, are hereby Tatifed and af-

party warfare.

The composition of the new British
cabinet affords a striking illustration of
the difference between American and
English party warfare. Mr.. Gladstone,
as leader of the Conservative organiza-
ton, and actual Executive of the British
Government, offers the place of Chan
cellor of the Exchequee to Robert Lowe,
formerly Liberal, who turned against
the party on the Reform bill two years
ago-who assailed that measure with
greater vigor, ability and rancor, than
Mr.. Doolittle has ever shown in attack
ing Reconstruction, and who from that
day to this has been "outside the party, =
though he has not acted so openly with
its opponents as Mr. Doolittle has with
the Democrats. Yet, Mr.. Gladstone ap-
preciates so highly his talents and the
influence which they give him-and
would so much rather have him for a
friend than foe-that he tenders him
the very best position in the cabinet un-
der his incoming administration.
