THE GENTLE SIDE OF STANTON'S
CHARACTER.

The following incident is related by
the Hon. G. B. Lincoln, of Brooklyn:
at was on the morning of the Goth of
November, 1863, the same that General
Grant commenced his advance in front
of Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain,
and when Burnside was hemmed in at
Knoxville, that had occasion to call
upon the War Secretary. My card was
sent in, and Immediately 1 was ushered
into his Office and presence. His chair
was turned from the Office table, and be-
fore him, sobbiag with grief, stood
handsome little fellow of 10 years or
Whereabouts, whose little hands rested in
the hands of the Secretary. By the con-
vefsation between them l learned that
the lad was an orphan from a Western
State, whose father had been killed in
battle, and whose brothers were still in
the Western army. Some one had sent
him to Washington with a letter to Mr..
Stanton, in the hope that thereby he
might be made page" in the Senate or
House of Representatives. HYou shall
be made page in the Senate if it is
possible to be done, my little man" said
the Secretary. Il will see Gov. Nor
gan, who is now here, and others as they
arrive, and think they will appoint
you, but If they do not do it, then you
shall come and stay here with me, and
viii take care OF you" Then, after
some inquiries and comforting words,
the little fellow left with lighter heart.
The appeal was not in vain, the boy was
on duty in the Senate Chamber the fol-
lowing writer.-f Carpenters Six Months
at the White House.
A certain gentleman had been on the
most intimate terms with Mr.. Stanton,
and shared his confidence. The latter,
one day, in answer to a respectful ques-
ton, responded in tone and IN Ian
guage which led to an abrupt withdraw
al of the former from his presence. The
Secretary, on hearing that ofFense had
been taken at his remark, sent word,

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF HAY, CORN
AND ROOTS.

An acre of ground retained expressly
for hay yields on an average not more
than one and one-half tons of Vegetable
food; an equal space planted with car
rots or ruta bagas will yield from ten to
twenty tons, say fifteen tons, which is
by no means a high average, and has
often been attained without any extra
ordinary cultivation. 1t has been ascer-
tanned by careful experiment, that three
working horses, fifteen and one-haIf
hands high, consume hay at the rate of
two hundred pounds per week, or five
tons and one thousand and forty-eight
pounds per annum. beside one and one
half bushels of oats per week, or sew
enty-eight per annnm. By repetition
of the same experiment it was found
that an unworked horse consumed hay
at the rate of four and one quarter tons
per annum.
The produce, therefore, of nearly six
acres of land is necessary to support a
working horse for one year but half an
Acre of carrots, at six hundred bushels
per acre, with the addition of chopped
straw, while the season for feeding them
lasts, will do as well, if not better.
These things do not admit of doubt, for
they have been the subject of exact tri-
ais, as some of your agricultural friends
can testify.
1t has also been proved that the value
of one bushel of corn, together with
the fodder upon which it grew, will
keep horse in good working order for
week. An acre planted with corn,
and yielding sixty bushels, viii be am
pie to keep good sized horse in work
ing order for one year.
Let the farmer, then, consider wheth-
eF 1t is better to maintain horse on the
produce of half an acre of ruta bagas or
carrots, or upon. the produce of an acre
of corn or, on the other hand, upon the
hay and grain from six acres of land
for it will require six acres Of good land
to produce the necessary hay and grain
as above. The same reasoning might be
made use of in the feeding OF cattle aud
sheep.-iStock Journal.

IN SCHOOL DAYS.
BY JOHN C. WHITTIER.


Still sits the school house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around IT still the sumaehs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen,
Deep scared by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife's carved initial;
The charcoal frescoes OH its wall,
Its doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,,
Went storming out 10 playing.
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window panes
And low caves ley fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden eurls
And brown eyes full Of gTieviHg,
or one who still her steps delayed
When all the rest were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled
Pushing with restless feet the snow
TIE right and left, he fingered,
And restlessly her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
lie saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light earessing,
And heard the trembling OF her voice, 4 .

'I'm sorry that I spelt the word;

Beeausey the brown eSaD ieWer fell
because, you see, love your

That sweet ehild-face is showing.

How few who pass above him s
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her-because they love him.

A farmer in Vermont writes that in
his family there has been a large accu-
mutation of grease suitable for soap, and
wishes instructions as to using it. A
great many families now who burn
coal, and therefore cannot make their
own I've from wood ashes, save all their
lat, az TIC
stores, and make their own soap. 1t
comes cheap, in tin boxes, with direc-
lions for using around each box. Our
Vermont friend will find no difficulty,
we presume, in procuring it.
RECIPES.
To Due Wool YelloU.-Boil it for an
hour with about one-siXth of its weight
of alum then plunge it in water con-
tanning as much quereitron bark as
equals the weight of alum used. Keep
turning it in the water till the color
grows as deep as you wish. This will
be increased by stirring in of clean
powdered chalk quantity equal TO the
hundredth part of the weight of. the
cloth and boiling eight or ten minutes
longer. If a. very bright golden yellow
is desired use oxyde of tin instead OF
alum. For greenish yellow add a
little cream tartar, and for orange little
cochineal.
Paste For Chdpped HdadS.-Wash a
quarter of pound of fresh hogs lard
in water, beat it up with the yolks OF
| two new-laid eggs and large spoonful
| of honey. Add as much almond paste
or fine oatmeal as will work it into q
paste.
Lip Sdlre.-Take equal parts of al
mond or olive oil and white wax. Melt
the latter in a dish set in boiling water
then add the oil, and few drops OF
some kind of perfume. Use alkanet
root or little carmine to color it red.

CREATION OF THE EARTH.
Professor DOremus in Support OF the BIZ
BILE TheOry-GaseOHS Bodies and How
They Become Solids.

Professor Doremus delivered an in
tereSting lecture last evening, before a
large audience at the Hall of the Young
Mems Christian Association, corner of
Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue.
The subject was ''rhe Creation of the
Earth, and the principal subject of the
lecture was to show that the researches
of science tended to prove the correct
ness of the theories of the Bible. The
earth, he said, must at one period have
been less all fluid. That could be prov
ed by scientific experiments. After
dwelling upon this subject for some
time, he proceeded to give series of
very beautiful experiments in support
of his argument, showing the effects of
the different gases upon various sub
stances. Laws, he asserted, applied
themselves to gases just as they did to
all other bodies. The atmosphere was
blending of several gases, including
those which produced disease. Rut sci
ence had been able to combat the pois-
onous effects of the gases that were pos
itively injurious to mankind, by the use
of other gases of a counteracting nature,
converted into fluids or solids as neees-
sity might require. The gas known as
Laughing gas" was much heavier than
the atmosphere, and it produced won
derful effect upon the human system !;
and he was glad to be able to inform his
audience that the originator of the sci
entlfic use of that gas was an American,
DIR. Cotton. Gases, like solids, varied
in their nature, and should be studied
separately, subject to the same inyesti-
CATION as solid substances !; but they va
ried in their weight to greater degree
than the solid did. 1t was a wonderful
fact that the crust of the earth consisted
one-half of gas; and three-fourths of
our own system was composed of oXy-
gen gas, which was about the heaviest
of all the elements. The lecturer then
gave several illustrations of the forcing
of several gases into the liquid and SOL
id condition, and stated that in the hea-
vens there were several bodies which
were simply of gaseous nature, such
as the earth once was. Those bodies
were neither liquids nor solids, but
simply gas and as such they afforded
light, and were therefore visible to the
human eye. From a simple mass of gas,
our earth gradually developed itself in
to fluid, and from a fluid It became
what II Is now. Oxygen was the most
destroying element of all, and had the
constant tendency to dissolve every
thing into the atmosphere. After ex-
perimentihg upon several gases, form
ing them into solids and liquids, with
view TO illustrate the creation of the
earth. the Professor concluded by re-
minding the audience of the beautiful
accord which existed between science
and reiigion.-N. y. World.

The Rev. DIR. Gray, Baptist minis
ter, of Washington, in his sermon on
the Sunday after Ex-Secretary Stanton's
death, said of him: about two years
ago, while Mr.. Stanton was holding
possession of the war Office, and VOL
untary prisoner therein, the Rev. Mr..
Fulton, of Boston, came on, and while
here requested me to accompany him in
a visit to Mr.. Stanton. We went, and
were very cordially received by him.
Mr.. Fulton addressed him and said: Il
have made you a special subject of
prayer, and have regarded you as the
savior of our country, and / believe
God has heard prayer on your behalf
After coDgratuiating him on the noble
stand he had taken during the war, the
services he had rendered his country,
and also the stand he had taken at that
time, Mr.. Stanton said Gentlemen, /
believe in God and believe in prayer,
although L am not a professor of reli-
gion in the common acceptance of the
term; and when during the war, re-
ceiyed discouraging dispatches from the
army, L would lock my door, spread
out the dispatches, and kneeI down and
pray to God to save my country, and
then go and talk to Mr.. Lincoln Mr..
Fulton then said Mr.. Stanton this is
an interesting incident in the history of
the war, am at liberty to repeat il p
He replied Not now. Were this state
nIent to be made public under existing
circumstances, my enemies would re-
gard it as bid for the sympathy and
support of the praying portion of the
country. Wait till 1 am dead, then you
may tell it, Just as they were about
to leave, Mr.. Stanton rose and locked
the door, and said - Gentlemen, would
like to have you spend few moments
in prayer Mr.. Fulton in his brusque
way said: fGray, pray" Mr.. Gray did
so, and then Mr. FaIton PRAYED most
earnestly for him. During prayer Mr.
Stanton wept like child.
