Of the Chronicle is from 8, 200 to $500

there WAS 4 charge Of $500, could be

other pamphlet, fo1 which the Chronicle
WAS paid $3.50 for 1000 copies, Mr.. Pol

from the Geotglans, was weak device, and

THE HUSBANDMAN,s HYMN.

The harvest is let farm bell and church bell
From valley and hill top the tiings proclaim.
Till the air shall be laden with ofthanksgivng
And the mountain shall echo the good Givers name.
Throw open the halls of the farmers great mansion
And landlord and laborer draw near the board
Where fair hands have scattered in tasteful profusion
The viands, the choicest the farm afford
The feasting and Jest, and the half forgot story
And bumper and song for n season had sway:
For the hands chained to tell for liberated
And hearts strange TO freedom are free for to-day
Let the swans Drowned with SUM- and with hands hard
from labor,
To the shadowy groves with the maidens repair,
And bring them jewels from grain field and meadow,
To set in the crown that the fairest shall wear.
The wheat plume, and oat plume, and sweet clover
blossom,
And the sprays ofsof meadow grass showing between
Oh, weave them in chapsts their colors contrasting.
The green with the gold, and the gold with the green
And out of the throng of the brown rustic faces
Let the maidens choose him who to the soil
Whose courage failed not when the battle hottest
Whose hands the hardest and broadest from toll
And to him the choice of the purest ard fairest,
And hers be the honor the chaplet to wear;
Oh. tenderly place it upon her fair forehead,
And let it rest lightly upon her dark hair
And thus clad in beauty, her tresses the shadow,
The oat plume, the sunshine, enlived with green;
Let the woodlands resound with answering echo,
of Hail. Queen of Beauty" and ''Hail, Harvest
Queen -
And the dear little chdren-oh tell them the tidngs
And let them take turns at the old iron bell
Till stroke answers stroke, and the spirit of music
Shall mock their sweet laughter from woodland and
dell.
Oh, tell it, We bells, till it reaches the city;
Ye quivering wires swift bear it away:
And whisper the word to the INDECENT millions,
And caeer them with hopes of happier day.
For the harvest is full and the great barns are burst
ing;
Let a million of voices the glad proclaim,
Till the shall be vocal with of Thanksgiving,
Aud the mountain shall echo the good Givers uame

AN INCIDENT IN THE EARLY History or
GREENBACKs.-Textso of Scripture have often
been inscribed upon coins. One of the most
remarkable is on a copper coin issued bv the
Papal Government, on which were the words.
Vac vobis divibus-" Woe to you who are
rich !" When the greenbacks were first ia
sued by the United States, Mr.. Chase, then
Secretary of the Treasury, consulted. among
others, the President of one of the Philadel-
phia banks in regard to placing some motto
upon tbem-such for example. as has been i'm
pressed upon the FIVE cent pieces SIN God
we trust" After mentioning several scrip
tural texts that had occurred to him, the Sec
retary asked our bankers opinion. "Per-
haps. was the reply, ''the most appropriate
would be: Silver and gold have none. hut
such as have give thee" +" The project
was abandoned.
