threshold made of Saturday night
The tide Of passion and the glow Of am
bition went down with Saturdays sun, and
life's fever was followed BY sleep. The
backsmith's bellows grew oreathless, and
his hammer lay silent upon the anvil the

the mills ''big wheel stood still, and the
upper aud lower sections of its battened
doors were closed !; the ironing of the old
fashioned mother was aired and folded and
laid away; the last loaf was withdrawn
from the glowing cavern of the old brick
oven; the boys had come back from the
creek, their brown feet twinkling winter
in the grass. and their hair shade dark
er than it was; light glimmers dimly
through the great windows of the church;
young men and maidens go by in pairs,
and soon, through the shadowy air, there
floats the voices in the tunes we used to
love: "Windham," Near and ''Sil-

mounts the woods, and rides moment

bears away for the blue waters of Gods

restless in the grass beneath it, as if Earth
were orr mother, and she really breathed
the mists of gray, that with the willows
fringe the stream, are silent and the
memory of that hour is gold.

Violence.

Gov. II. H. Wells addressed the color
ed people at West Point, Va, few days
since During his remarks be gave ut
terancc to some sentiments which grated
heavily upon the ears of Beverly B Doug
las, Esq, for many years prominent
member of the State Senate from King
William county. Although not of per-
sonal nature, it was SO construed by
Mr.. D., who gave the Governor the id
lie.' E. W. Massie instantly arose and
stated that if Mr.. Douglas had any friends
present it would be well for them to urge
upon him the propriety of leaving the
ground. This infamed the immense as
semblago of negroes present, who, already
highly enraged, rushed at MIR. Douglas
At great odds he resisted successfully for
a time, the onslaught, but was finally
borne down by the mob, and his life pla-
ced in great jeopardy. Two brothers,
Benjamin and Lieper Robson, interposed
and endeavored to rescue Mr.. d. but
were dashed violently to the ground, and
horribly bruised and maugled. The life
of Mr.. Lieper Robson was desEaired' of

Waterloo the Day after the Battle.

On the surface of two square miles it
was asccrtained that fifty thousand men
and horses were lying! The luxurious
crop of ripe grain which had covered the
field of battle was reduced to litter, and
beaten into earth, ard the surface trodden
down By cavalry, aD~ssarowed deeply BY
the wheels, streyed with many a
relic Of the fght-helpets and cuirasses,
firearms, and broken swords all the
variety of military ornaments, lancer caps,
and Highland honnets: uniforms of every
color, plumes and pennons. musical instru-
ments, the apparatus of artillery, drums,
bugles; but, good heavens! why dwell on the
narrowing picture of foughten field :?
Each and every ruinous display bore mute
testimony to the misery of such battle
Could the melancholy appearance of this
scene Of death be frightened, it would be
by witnessing the researches Of living
amid its desolatlon for the objects OF their
love
Mothers, wives and children for days
were occupied in that mournful duty; and
the confusion of the corps-friend and
foe intermingled as they were. often rend-
cred the attempt at recognizing individuals
difficult and sometimes impossible Ia
many places the dead lay four deep upon
each other, marking the spot some British
squad had occupied, exposed for hours to
the murderous fire of a French battery
Outside, lancer and cuirasser were scat
tered thickly on the earth Further on,
you trace the spot where the cavalry Of
France and England had encountered;
chasseur and hussar were intermingled;
and the heavy Norman horses Of the i'm
perial Guard were interspersed with the
gay chargers which had carried Albion's
chivalry.
On the summit of the ridge, where the
ground was numbered with the dead, and
trodden fetlock deep in the mud and gore
by the frequent rush of rival cavalry, the
thick strewn corpse ofthes Imperial Guard
pointed out the spot where Napoleon bad
been defeated. Here, in column, the
favored corps, on whom his last chance
rested had been annihilated; and the ad-
vance and repulse of the Guard was trace
able to mass Of fallen Frenchmen. In
the hollow the last struggle of France
had been made for there the Old Guard
attempted to meet the British, and afford
time to their disorganized companions to
rally.

General J0rdan's Cuba Expedition.

Another New York paper, referring to
the expedition of General Jordan, which
had landed in Cuba, 700 strong, and of
whose conflicts with the Spaniards We have
had previous accounts, says:
" Tho next day after his landing
Jordan was attacked by strong body of
Spaniards, reinforced by troops arriving
from Mayari. He moved out of his posi-
sition, and thereby gave the spauiards to
understand that he gave up the field.
They charged Immediately up to the aban-
doned points of defense, (sawa dismounted
gun and small quantity of war material
left as decoy,) and soon occupied them.
Jordan had, however, previously arranged
other houses, cutting port holes, &c, and
mounting cannon of strong calibre. These
were concealed. AS soon as the troops
had fairly got up to what seemed his >aban-
doned works, he all of sudden rained
upon them perfect fusilade. They were
cut down terribly, and fed as fast as pos
sible, until they met another detachment
from the garrison at Mayari. Jordan
brought along six field pieces and two
siege guns, lie arrived little sooner
than was expected, and did not get into
communication with Quesada until the
third day. He left. what he should have
never carried with him, the siege guns,
and retired, as he did not wish to wait
and have all the enemys forces concentra-
ted upon him. He is now, however, safe
and sound, with the rest of his artillery
and munitions Of war, along with General
Quesada."

horse of greater weight with all the quail
tiles above named. except speed-extra
speed. IF farmers horse can trot six
miles an hour to light wagon, without
extra effort he is fast enough.
At heavy draft, weight adds strength
without an extra effort of the muscles
so that the heavy horse before plough

weight against the collar while the light
er horse must strain every nerve and mus

attentive to the lord or line. This over
exertion soon begins to tell upon him and
his value is deprecated. The same re-
marks will apply in drawing loaded
wa on Up grade.
1t must then be the interest of farmers
in breeding horses for their own use, to
select such animals to breed from as will
produce the desired result. Here the
Percheron, more Familiarity known as
Norman, is candidate for the farmers
favor, and deserves to be better known and
more fully appreciated. The Percheron
horse no doubt, at this day, stands first
among the draft breeds of the world
The interest in this breed has greatly in
creased of late among farmers, and they
are the best judges Of their own wants.
The Conestoga horse has weight, but
is very deficient in action-sluggish in his
movements, and not celebrated for bottom
or endurance. This breed of horses ii

caster Co., Pa).

fine opportunity is offered to large farm
ers to raise horses of popular breed for

Potato Crop.

The general crop Of potatoes should not
be planted earlier than the middle Of the
month. The ground should have early
deep ploughing, and before planting, an
other shallow working of the surface, and
narrowing. The drills should be made
deep, and the sets dropped Immediately
after opening them, while the ground is
moist, and as promptly covered after plan
ting. The fertilizer may be thrown in
with the sets, or put on after they are
covered.
Great care must be observed that the
tubers be not exposed any length of timc
in the hot sun. Let the seed be cut q
week or two in advance of planting, and
a little plaster thrown over them, spread
ing them in cool place that they may
dry.
An experienced potato-grower insists
that the best method of preparing seed is
to cut to single eye. He cnts them
month before planting, and spreads on
floor in the light, when the cut heals and
the potato withers. At planting time the
eye will be started SO plainly that you
will have an assurance of the set grow
ing off Immediately when put into the
ground.

served that where the newspaper was taken
by the family, there thrift, morality and

In the log cabins of the West, as soon as
my eye caught sight of the newspaper, |

find morality, Intelligence courtesy and
welcome, as a garden ripe to receive the

On the contrary where neither newspa-

Buster Ends in CoWardice.

eSsSA 11hNo IA w" oAoASSs
There was time when the Govern
ment of the United States was distinguish
ed by its dignifed character and conduct.
1t was when gentlemen, in every sense of
the word, occupied the Presidential chair,
and graccd, by the courtesy and grace of
their manners and the culture of their
minds. the halls of Congress. Then, the
country respecting itself, met with distin-
guished respect abroad.
When Lincoln took his seat, the Gov
eminent put on an awkward air of buff
foonery. The White House became ia
nous for low jests and vulg jokes and
the halls of legislation, abandoned by
Southern gentlemen, lost mind and man
ners.
When Andrew Johnson, by the acct
dent of the death of the late lamented les
ter, assumed control of the Government,
its manners were not mended. The White
House and Congress rung with the vilest
words Of vilest brawling. The world
looked on and laughed.
When Grant, with his stupid "let us
hare peace" entered a couple months ago,
On the Presidential Office, the Government,
at once, flung aside the last remnant of
dignity, assumed the air of brutal bully,
spoke braggart words, and shook its fists
in the face of every nation. AS if to say,
I'm the champion pugilist of the universe;
who dares enter the ring with me p
Its mind gone-its manners gone-its
dignity gone-its character lost; nothing
but brute force is left-and braggadocia.
Its brute force is exercising itself against
the Southern people and against the poor
Indians. Its Braggadocia is used against
Europe.
There has come rumor over the sea
that France, England and Spain have en-
tered, or are abou. to enter into alliance,
offensive and defensive, against the brutal
Government. And straightway, the bull
ly lowers his tone and changes his bust
ering airs. Some believe the rumor-
some do not. But, nearly all believe
that, if be true, the clustering Govern
ment will not fight. 1t would go into
war with two great disadvantages-its
heavy ebt and its doubt of the loyalty
(so-called,) of the Southern people and
with these two disadvantages, it never
could be match for the allied nations
Europe, no viewer, need not mind the bragg
gadocia of the Northern Government. Il
is only buster it means nothing. Il
thought its mere buster would frighten
the world but finding its mistake, it will
not bark SO much soon again. If it needs
anything, the government needs to be
whipped into a sense of right. It's pride
needs to be humbled. Its vain glorious
Boosting needs to be stopped. We, for
one, would like to see it receive good
castigation, for its own benefit !; and then
our readers may finish the sentence which
it might be disloyal for US to write. Ban

Cut of the Leaves.

Almost every one who has any expert,
ence in gardening knows the Importance
of pruning newly planted trees. But in
transplanting cabbages, beets, tomatoes.
and similar vegetables. few ever think Of
taking of any of the leaves. an operation
fully as important as the reduction of the
branches of an apple or pear tree. Let
every one who is about setting out any of
succulent plants try the cutting of the
larger leaves, and we think they will nsv--
or omit it again.

Birds and their Uses.

Baron Won Tshudi the well-known
Swiss naturalists, says :-"W ithout birds

birds for this purpose may be classed the

The Baron tested titmouse upon some

a few hours, of innumevable lice. A rob-
