David Crockett.
BY JAMES PARTON.

Few men have reached Congress by a
stranger road than the eccentric individ-
ual named at the head of this article
others have fought themselves into Con-
gress but David Crockett shot himself
hither 1t was his wonderful skill as a
marksman, and his daring as bear hunter,
which made him so popular in his district
that when he chose to run for office he
usually distanced all competitors. He
could shoot humming bird on the wing
with single ball. Seated upon the mar
gin of the river, he would aim at a fish,
and as soon as the crack of his rifle was
heard, one of the inmates of the stream
would be struggling on the surface. He
used to speak of his battered old rife in
words like these:
"She's mighty rough old piece, but |
love her; for she and | have seen hard
times. She mighty seldom tells lie. If
[ hold her right she always sends the ball
where tell her."
Shooting was not his only qualification.
He had other gifts and graces calculated
to win the favor of frontier population,
although it was his matchless skill with
the rifle that first drew attention to him.
He was an abundant reIator of comic anec-
dotes, and an utterer of those eccentric
remarks which are passed around, and form
a large part of the common stock of wit
in country place. Forty or fifty years
ago almost every newspaper that appeared
had story in it, in some odd corner, in
which the name of David Crockett figured.
He was born in East Tennessee, in 1856,

DISCUSSES.

We all believe ourselves shrewd at guess
| ing the hidden lies Of others. We have the
utmost confidence in our powers of discrim-
( nation, and although we find ourselves mis-
taken in hundred instances, we are Just as
! certain we shall succeed in the next one.
| We make arbitrary estimates of character,
and are 10th to depart from them, when they
have proved to be utterly false When we
have had suspicious Of a man at the outset,
it is so consoling to find him villain on
acquaintance. Thousands walk the streets
daily as securely disguised as any olden
knight in mask. Through the merest acct
dent we sometimes find out some hidden
outlines of the soul, that are dwarfed and
distorted by sin, or beautiful with grace and
tenderness The heroes Of common life are
generally anything but heroic in outward
appearance. We can give our ready allegi-
ance to hero stalwart and strong, with a
voice Of thunder, AMI an overawing pres
heroism that is shorn Of attraction, and il
unsupported by accessories of fervor.
Probably our own especial heroes and
heroisms, would most Of them make sorry
figure in the world. In the grand march Of
humanity, they would be far in the rear,
keeping pace with the halt, and the manned
and the blind, but in the souls estimate they
walk triumphantly with princes.
l know one of these, who wears the dis
guise of an old woman : and such dumpy
Iittla old woman - - TOO JIor t,;- -,
such a shaggy look. as though it was boxed
up in the greatest possibly hurry. She wears
AN old Bay State shawl pinned askew over
her shoulders, and an ancient bonnet, with
little feathery tufts Of flowers bristling over
her eyes, and tied with limpsy dyed ribbon
under the mole on her chin. Then she
waddles when she walks, and shows few
struggling teeth when she laughs, and on
| the whole would be altogether unpresentable
in refined society. Yet know in the house
hold that she rules SO well, she brings the
sunshine of patience, and self-denial that
she bears pain, and crosses, with the sweet
est resignation that wholly forgetfuI of
self she is always planning and working and
praying to gladden. the lives Of others. When
the war came, with brave cheerfulness she
gave all her sons to her country toiliDg
early and late, to battle poverty at home,
that she might exc out from the scant sup
ply some morsel for those poorer than she
And then when the bitter end came, with a
bleeding Aeart, but "a living all-conquering
faith, she heard the news that one by one
the boys had persisted; one in the hospital,
one on the battlefield, and one in the slow
fortunes of a rebel prison. Then when it
seemed as though all joy and hope was strick-
en- out of her life, she took up its burden
again with no sign of complaint, and opened
her heart to the sorrow of others. Somehow
in remembering this, one forgets the dumpy
little figure and the ridiculous bonnet, and
believes them to be only an enforced disguise,
to teach royal soul humility.

The Canada Thistle.

A correspondent of the PlOughmaa desires
to know the most effectual way of extermin-
ating the Canada thistle.
This is perennial plant, propagated both
by its seed and it's root. The seed is attach
ed to a downy wing not unlike that of the
common thistle, by which it is scattered on
the wind. In wet seasons and mellow soils
the plant spreads rapidly 50 as often TO take
possession of whole fields 1t is much more
difficult to eradicate this pest from a poor
and hard soil than from deep and rich one.
If a farmer cultivates deep and manures
well the thistle will die out
The root runs deep into the soil and is
extremely tenacious of life. 1t exhausts a
soil much less than most other plants. This
plant can be got rid of by taking the proper
course, in a single season, If the labor is APP
piled at just the right time, bot if not, it
may be ploughed and hoed and cut up all
the season and still not be destroyed Ii
must be taken at particular stage of its
growth. They must be allowed to attain
their growth. If the place where they are
growing is in sod it may be plOughed in the
fall The next season let it be plOughed
again when they begin 10 head out, and il
the team cannot well travel through them,
NOW them first and then plough thoroughly
Poor and balky ploughing will not do it. II
well covered they Will hardly start again.
Let them be covered at least two or three
inches After ploughing, harrow with a
heavy harrow. In about four weeks plough
again, and if any still appear, plough still
again in four or five weeks after. The plough
ings ought to be sufficiently long apart to
allow the growth of the plant TO exhaust the
root, but not SO long as to allow the roots t.
spread and acquire strength.
Now this looks like work, and we knew
- 5ther completely effectual way of per
manently getting rid Of this unmitigated
pest. Ii the work is carefully performed
with morrow burrows, covering the whole
plant, four ploughings at proper intervals
will eradicate it. On rocky soil where the
ploughing is necessarily imperfect, it will
take longer.
In cases where there are but few thistles
in field, it is best to manure highly and
put in some hoed crop, cutting up every
thistle or pulling them once every four or
FIVE weeks. If the work is thorough they
will not appear the next season. But if some
are left bent over or not wholly put out OF
sight, they will appear in graf numbers
again on the return Of the next season.
Every one must be ploughed up.
Where they appear in pastures, NOW them
in the early part of the season before they
blossom, and as soon as they are high enough.
Une moving then is worth two after they
blossom. The Canada thistle is terrible
pest, and no labor or pains should be spared
to destroy it PlOughndH.

PERPETUAL MOTION AT LAsT-A full
patent has been received by a young man
of Chicago for perpetual motion machine
The Chicago papers say that the machin,
behaved itself handsomely, working with
out cessation for months. The most essen
tia portion of the machine consists ofa
hollow rocking lever, or beam, resembling
the walking beam of steamboat engine,
except that it is bent at oblique angles in
several places. Inside this are placed balls
partially filled with mercury. The balls,
fonce set in motion, roll down the interior
of the hollow beam in vain search for
permanent level, but no sooner do they
reach the lower end than the mercury IN
the spokes of the main wheel overcome
their weight, the beam is forced up, and
the balls are again impelled in their on
ward rush, only to be caught by the valve
that is forced open from without, and push
ed into the upper arm of the beam or lever,
ready to be hustled along that reverend
ing route. A delicately adjusted weight
and break are attached to the machine and
serve to regulate its motion, but it is in the
hollow spokes and beams, and the balls OF
quicksilver, that the mysterious power is
said to lie.

SALTPETRE IN CREAM.-Your correspondent
as. o. j. in the article on "Gilt edged

table spoonfuls of saltpetre in her three

cream perfectly free from bitter taste, and
does not harm the buttermilk an the least
degree.

the position /; but | would like to have some

SUPERSTITION IN MAINs.-During the
funeral services of a young man in Her
mon, about five miles from Bangor, who
died ofputrid fever, Rev S L. Bowler of
Hampden, who had been called to officiate,
was interrupted by an occasional groan
from a woman who is called 4 spiritualist
She arose, and with uplifted hands, passed
by him into the room of the mourners,
stood By the coffin, and began to pound it.
Raising the lid, she continued with regular
and heavy strokes, to beat the breast Of
the deceased until the body became mar
red aud emitted an offensive odor. One
hand was used till weary, then the other
this process continued for two hours. when
she was completely exhausted. After a
brief space she attempted to commence
again, but was too exhausted to proceed.
Some of the neighbors sympathized with
the woman in her spiritualistie views, and
it was thought best not to interfere They
had some idea that the dead might be raised
to life.-BoSton Coagregatio1qlist.

and probably will do the same this winter;
This in our opinion is a cruel and suicidal
policy Less returns are thus obtained from
a given amount of food. Thirty half starv-
ed sheep will produce less good merchant

will lose twice or three times as many by
death and will not raise half as many lambs.
And what farmer possessing spark OF hu-

BILE of rising with their burthen, and dying
in parturition. A more painful spectacle OF
brute suffering than a flock in such condi-
ton near the close of winter, cannot be
witnessed, and we believe that morality has
a voice in this matter as well as humanity.
Every flock master who has more sheep
than he can keep properly or sell, should
kill the surplus when winter sets in, if he
gets nothing from them but the pelts.-Dr.
