Mr. Farnsworth. Republican member
OF Congress, in the debate on the Vir-
ginia admission bill, said:
sand the gentleman from South Caro-
Lima (Mr. Whittemore) had presented,
last night, a lying. absurd document,
from individuals calling themselves the
loyal people of Virginia, intended to
blacken the character of Governor Walk
er and defeat the efforts of those who
were attempting to bring the State into
the Union. It was gross, black. damn
ing libel upon Governor Walker"
MIR. Whittemore remarked that he
would undertake to provo it by Cover
nor Walkers law partner.
Mr. Farnsworth replied that the man
who was most energetic and active in
getting up that manifesto, and whose
name was Porter, had been tried and
found guilty, by military commission,
and had been sentenced to six months
lmprisonment, and had had o ball and
chain attached to his ankle, for four
months, for disloyalty, sedition and
drunkenness. He undertook to say
that, but for the Vaccinations and efforts
OF few men, who saw that, by n reha-
bilitation of the State, they would lose
their Offices, Virginia would have been
admitted on the first day of this Con-
gress.

people of the town respected him, sent
him to Parliament, and seldom under
took anything without asking his advice.
If school-house was to be built, the
plan had to be talked over with him.
Widow 2. asked him what she should
plant in her field. Farmer s. always
got his advice in buying cattle, and Mrs.
IL. consulted him about bringing up her
boys
When asked how he was so successful.
Mr.. Morgan said: 81 will tell you how it
was. One day, when was lad, party
of boys and girls were going to distant
pasture to pick whortleberries. WANTED
to go with them, bnt was fearful that my
father would not let me. When I told
him what was going on, and he at once
gave me permission to go with them, I
could hardly contain myself for Joy, aud
rushed into the kitchen, and got q big
basket, and asked mother for luncheon.
1 had the basket on my arm, and was
just going out of the gate, when my
father called me back. He took hold of
my hand, and said, in n very gentle
voice: Joseph. what are you going for
to pick berries or to play?' TO pick
berries,' L replied. Then, Joseph, T
want to tell you ono thing; it is this:
When you find pretty good busl,, do
not leave it to find better one. The
other boys and girls will run about, pick
ing little here, and q little there, vast
ing a great deal of time. and not getting
many berries. If you do as they do, you
will come home with an empty basket.
If you want berries, stick to your bush. ,
II went with the party, and we had a
capital time. But it was just as nv
father said. No sooner had one found a
good bush than he called all the rest.
and they left their several places and
ran off to the new-found treasure. Not
content more than minute or two in
one place, they rambled over the whole
pasture, got very tired, and Mt night had
but very few berries. My fathers words
Kept ringing in my ears, and stuck to
my BUSH When had done with one
found another, and finished that; then I
took another. When night came had
@ large basketful of nice berries more
than all the others put together, and was
not haif SO tired as they were. L went
home happy: But when I entered 7
found my father had been taken i'll. He
looked at my basketful of ripe. black
berries, and said, well done, Joseph.
Was it not just as told you? Always
stick to your BUSH
He died Il few days after, and had
to make my way in the world as best I
could. But my fathers words sunk deep
into my mind, and never forgot the
experience OF the whortleberry pnrty-I
stuck to my bush When l had II fair
place. and was doing tolerably well,
did not leave it and spend weeks and
months in finding ono little better.
When other young men said Come with
us, and we will make 4 fortune in n few
weeks, l shook my head and stuck to
my bush. Presently my employers
offered to tako me into business with
them. / stayed with the old house until
the principals died, and then had
everything 1 wanted. The habit of
sticking TO my business led people to
trust me, aud gave me a character 1

The BLUE RIDGE RA1LRoAD.-It is
now wei! understood that a better route
can be found for this road than the old
one. The new route commences near
the depot, at this place, and intersects
with the original line eighteen miles
West Of this point. By this arrange
ment, the Stumphouse tunnel and the
two intermediate ones can be avoided.
Two miles in distance can be saved by
the change, and the cost of the new
route over the completion of the old one
is about the same. We rejoice in being
able to make this statement by authority.
1t will destroy the prejudice engendered
against this enterprise on account of the
assumed impracticability of boring
through the Stumphonse tunnel Be-
sides, we have assurances from more
quarters than one that the road will be
completed at an early day. Locally, the
proposed change of route will throw the
track In or near town, and with it a
change of depot. Courier.

who have figured extensively during the
last few days in Wall street, making ex-
tenslve purchases and sales of stocks
They are said to be quite az .fui at the
business, but the Herald is puzzled to
know whether they are to be classed with
the "bulls" or the "bears." Woman's
sphere is widening!
young woman who resides in the
town of New Harmony, Ind, (what O.
name for SO terrible creature, boasts
that she has broken twenty. seven en-
gagements of marriage in five years.
She has the rings that once attested to
these engagements hung up in her
headquarters" and to these she points
as does the red man to his string of
scalps.
A Georgia paper speaks of q man who
one day, recently, said to his 15.years'
old son, as he stepped out of a iiouor
saloon, that he was ashamed to see him
emerging from such place with the
fumes of whiskey upon his lips. and
after giving the boy some wholesome
advice, ordered him to 90 home, and
turning on his heel entered the saloon
and took drink himself.

County is in Chicago-has run away with

lunch of of him, and he now carries

They asserted that, by the representa-
