TuE LAST S1ATE.-The last slate for Grants
Cabinet, according to tho Baltimore Gazette,
is az follows:
Secretary OF State-Stanton, haillns from
Pennsylvania.
Secretary OF the Treasury-Wells, haillng
from Massachusetts.
Secretary Of the Interior Wade, haillng
from Ohio.
Secretary of War-Rawlings, =.
Secretary Of tho Navy-morgan, haihng
from New York.
Postmaster-G General CONFESS, hailing from
California.
Attorney -General-Carpenter, hailing from
Wisconsin.
In respect to Stanton, the runor is that the
Cabinet cannot be made up without him. ne
himself, learn, would prefer the Bench, but
the antagonism existing in Massachusetts,,
and the determination OF Grant to appoint
Wells, have forced the State Department on
New England. Difficulties exist also IN Penn
sylvania, which are otherwise lrreconcliapie:
Fenton or Greeley may be appointed, depen-
dent upon the result of the senatorial election.

A HUNGARIAN LEGEND.

Tho story OF the Castle OF
Lublo, in the county Szepes, is
very piquant. The proprietor
wished to enlarge his castle;
there was, however, one little
dificulty-he had no money.
At last he resolved to apply to
the demon, and going to the
devils stone,' called on it's
patron, with whom he made
over by contract all the souls
that should happen to be in the
castle at the moment when the
key stone would be inserted in
the banquet hall. The devil
hereupon presented him with
seven chests full of gold, and
the rebuilding of the castle soon
Tcommenced on a grand scale.
but not the DEVILS chests alone
furthered the work; to the arch
litects great establishment, the
walls grew through the night,
| in ratio of their increase during
the day. There conld be no
doubt, therefore, that the devil
helped the work with his own
hands; and as the extensive ed
Iifice drew nearer to it's compile
Ition, anxiety pressed heavier
and heavier on the heart of the
proprietor. 1t was in vain that
he enlarged the plan. The cas-
tie was, Notwithstanding, al
most finished, and the hour Of
payment approached. The dew
il s debtor, in full despair, went
down to the red cloister (still
existing) and confessed his sins
to the abbot, who naturally,
before anything else could be
done, took into custody the
three chests of gold which he
found to be remaining of the
load, intending to release them
by his blessing from the dem
on s curse, and to preserve them
for the use Of the convent.
Then he sent to the castle a
consecrated bell, with orders to
ring it the very moment when
the keystone should be insert
ed into the banquet hall. Pre-
cisely at that moment the devil
was on his way, flying through
the air with an enormous block
under his arm, to crush his vic
tins with. But the bell rang,
and it's consecrated sound par
| alyzed the fendish power. The
block tumbled down into the
river Poprad, at the foot Of the
castle, and the devil, furious at
the breach Of the contract, ours
ed the unfaithful man and his
descendants; who, in conse-
quence, have ever since been
wanting both in money and in
credit. The pecuniary embar-
rassment of the proprietors of
Lublo, and the impression of
the demon in the block, wit
ness, It's said, to the people of
that neighborhood, the truth of
those legends.

Stick to One Thing.

There are many farmers who
do not stick to one thing long
enough to make it pay, and
consequently they lose every
thing. At one time they con-
clude to devote themselves tc
stock raising. Before they gel
fairly under good Roadway ir
this they change their minds
and make speciality for a time,
Of a certain crop-wheats corn.
or potatoes, for instance. -
While they are following this
speciality, the crops may be
small and prices low, and they
turn to another just in time to
miss large crops and good pri-
ces in what they have left.
The best farmers, we have
observed, are those who first
find out what their soil is best
adapted to. They then turn
their energies in that direction
and go straight forward in
that line. Apoor crop does not
discourage them. They keep
on, and are sure to be finally
successful.
To illustrate our idea We
once knew a farmer who al
ways made it a point to tatten
from rs to 30 hogs every year.
Let the price Of pork be high
or low, he every year had his
lot of hogs of about the usual
number. He took great pride
in having, the best in the
neighborhood. Some years,
perhaps, he might have done
better by selling his corn in
stead of feeding it: Some years
perhaps, he might have done
better by turning his whole at
tention to some other speciality

captured near Norfolk a short
while since, but he is evident
ly playing a deep game with
the authorities, he having the
appearance Of being to a great
extent crazy while in the
Cour t-room. All three of
these prisoners, it will be re-
membered, made their escape
from the Halifax Jail some
time last fall, but were subse-
quently recaptured.
The Courthouse was crowd
,, ed by both whites and blacks,
drawn together to witness the
scene. Judge Watts after a
brief but impressive exhorta-
ton to the prisoners, in which
he advised them not to look for
any aid from any one on earth,
sentenced the three prisoners
to be hung at the Jail in Hall
fax on Friday, the 2Sth inst.
Col. Jenkins, counsel for the
prisoners, asked the Court to
give as much time as possible
before the execution of the sem
tence in order that some effort
might be made by their friends
looking to the obtaining Of
their pardon or some lighter
punishment. The prisoners
were then conducted back to
Jail, where they are now secur-
ed by a heavy guard around
them, they are to await the day
Of execution, when they are to
be hung between the hours of
twelve and one o'clock within
an enclosure to be built around
the Jail. Under the present
law, only a limited number are
allowed to witness the hang
ing.
We understand that Cover
nor Holden will be petitioned
in behalf of these murderers,
but upon what ground we do
not know, as the murder, which
was committed at this place,
was Of @ most atrocious charac-
ter, and we have never heard a
doubt expressed as to the guilt
of the condemned. While for
the sake of humanity we dis
like to see capital punishment
inflicted, yet in this instance
we think the law should be
melted out tossits fullest extent.
We visited the prisoners at
their cells on Monday and con-
versed with them. They ex-
press much hope thatsomething
will intervene to prevent their
being hung. Baker looks more
concerned than he did on Sa-
turday, while Jim Thomas
walks his cellswithout seeming
to care to talk. Daytime oc-
cupies separate cell, and re-
clines upon his pallet from the
effects Of his wound, the ball
still being in his leg, which
has caused him to become bag
gard and thin. He evidences
much fear, and looks forward
with trembling to the fate soon
in store for him. Weldon

Ny wealth is not in government bonds,
Nor stock in trade, nor fertile lands,
Nor gold and silver in safe,
Secured by locks and iron bands;
My treasures are exempt from tax,
Except what l may freely pay,
And every dollar thus expend,
Pays me good interest every day.
Nv wealth is not in any thing
To tempt midnight burglar here;
Though all my treasures on this earth
Are in my house, I've .nought to fear;
often leave them during the day,
But when descends the shade of night
! haste with joy unto my home
To guard them till the morrow's light.
My treasures-source of all my joys
The wealth that cheers me on thro' life
I'll tell to you, by naming first
My gentle, loving, blue-eyed wife; .
Within my home, with shouts OF glee,
a little girl and boy doth play.
The former five years old last month,
The latter one year old tosday.
These are my treasures, only three,
And yet I'm richer than king,
And as Joyous as the summer birds
That meath my window used to sing;
What though the winds of winter blow,
And all without is cold and drear.
Within is light, and warmth, and love,
Pm happy with my treasures here.
