A CURIOUS LEGEND.-Whcn Adam was
Tar advanced in years and at the point of
death, he sent his son to the angel Michael.
who kept the gate of Paradise, to pray for
the oil OF mercy, so that he could he healed.
Inc angel answered that it could not be
until hfty-hve hundred years, but he gave
Seth branch of the tree of which Adam
mad eaten, bidding him to plant it on Mount
Lebanon, and that when it bore fruit his
father should be healed. Seth planted the
branch on his fathers grave; it took root
and grew; from it were made Aaron's rod,
and Moses staff with which he struck the
rock and sweetened the waters of Marah.-
1t also formed the pole on which the bra
zen serpent was lifted up, and the ark of
the testimony. At last it came into the
hands OF Solomon, who used it in building
his palace; but it continually resisted the
efforts OF the builders to adjust it. Now it
was too long, and then again too short. -
Inc builders, being angry, then threw it
INTO marsh, so that it might serve as
bridge. The queen of Sheba would not
walk upon it, but adored it, and told Solo
mon that upon it should be suspended the
man through whose death the kingdom
should be destroyed. Solomon then had it
buried deep in the ground, where after
ward the pool of Bethesda was dug, and
from the virtues of this tree healing pro
perties were impaired to the waters. After
1t had been buried three hundred years it
rose to the surface ofthe water, and the Jews
took it and made of it the cross of our
Saviour.-From the Cross in Legend, Poet
ry, and Art, in Lipptncotts Magazine.

The True Friends Of the colorei Man.

The honors paid to the late Senator
Bland, of Virginia, who was among the
killed by the falling in of the Court Of APP
pealsroom in the Virginia capital, is anoth-
er illustration of a truth evinced by all ex-
perience, that the man, however humble,
who conducts himself in that station in
which his lot is placed, with selfrespect
of the rights and feelings of Others will
ensure thereby the respect of Others for
himself This colored man, by his instinc-
tive sense of decorum and propriety as
well as by his abilities had become the
most esteemed, as we'll as prominent repre-
sentative of his race in public life in Vir-
ginia. He had also shown sentiment of
real friendship towards his political OPP
ponents which, while he did not permit it
to Interfere with the firm vindication of
his own principles, ensured him general
good will. The eloquent eulogium pro-
nounced upon him by such man as Lieut..
Gov. Marye, of bic Senate, and other
Conservative gentlemen, is honorable alike
to the deceased and to those who paid
such touching tributes to his memory, and
is in itself an answer to the slanderous
charge that the whites of Virginia are enc
enemies of the black race. On the contrary,
they are their best friends, as we believe
the colored men of that State will one day
realize.-iStatesnlaa.

oTATE TAXATION OF RAILRoADs.-The
case OF the Union Pacific Railroad Gas
tern DIVISION against the treasurers of
several counties in Kansas, to restrain them
from collecting taxes under State laws,
which has been for some time pendingin the
united States Supreme Court, was decided
on saturday last against the COMPANY
Chlef ustlce Chase, in delivering the opin-
ION OF the Court, held that corporations
deriving their existence from State char
tiers were amenable to all taxes imposed by
laws OF such States that the several Pacif:
&c railroad companies were local, not gov
eminent institutions, and the fact that gov
eminent granted such roads certain snbsi-
dues, under certain stipulations, in no man.
ner exempted them from their State obi
cations. This is sound reasoning, and
such decision only could have been ex-
pected after the ruling of the Court in the
recent national bank cases, where a SINH
lar principle was involved.
ANOTHER RADICAL PROP GoNE.-Tbe
conservative character of the United States
Supreme Court is sustained by decision
delivered by Chief Justice Chase on Satur-
day-a decision so manifestly Just and
equitable that the only surprise is that its
principle was ever questioned. The Court
held that loaning money to the Confeder-
ate government, when such loan was extor-
ted by fear was not an act giving aid and
comfort to the enemy. This decision re.
neves many ofthe best Southern Unionists
from the penalties which radical legislation
sought to impose upon them.
GENERAL LEE IN His GLonY.-We give
elsewhere an account of the reception of
the ex-rebel chief, General Lee, in Charles
ton. 1t will be seen that the "Southern
heart is still fired by emotions that kim
died the late civil strife, and it is pleasant
to witness the digniied and temperate
course Of General Lee in the midst of these
heartfelt ovations. The name of Lee is
identified with the most heroic deeds of
the war for independence, and it is pleas
ant in these latter days to find it connected
with words and acts of fraternal reconcile
alton and pacifcation.

Raise Sheep-Eat Mutton.

Good mutton, well-fattened and neatly
butchered, is the most wholesome, nutri-
tious and cheapest of the meats. 1t grows
quickly, and costs little to produce it, COM
pared with beef and pork. Every farmer
should have few long-wooled Cosset
sheep, at least Cotswold or Leicester
They are little trouble, and keep fat on the
orts of the cattle. They usually bring twin
lambs, which will sell to butchers for from
IS to $40 by the first of July. Their fleece
averages from eight to fourteen pounds,
with from sixteen to twenty per cent.
shrinkage only. Their wool is now, and
will be, in the future, worth thirty per
cent. more than merino, which shrinks
forty-tive to sixty per cent, according to
the family and treatment of the flock
Long wool makes strong, excellent and
durable stocking yarn, though it is mostly
used to make the brilliant, light and lus-
trous Orleans goods, for the apparel Of our
pretty women. Two such sheep will yield
as much profit as common COW, and five
of them can be kept as cheap as COW.
Their lambs and mutton would keep a
farmer supplied with the best of fresh meat
of any kind, as often as is necessary, the
year round, and would make an agreeable
episode to the eternal round Of salt junk
and pork, and be far more healthy than
either. Those who eat principally sailed
meats show it in their complexion, their
skin being less fair and smooth. Pork, at
best, eaten constantly, produces irritation
and eruptions of the skin.
We have now plenty of sheep in the
country-over 100000 head (more than
ever before, according to the population
Then let all manufacturers, mechanics, and
all men who are interested to have good
meat and the board of operatives cheap
and wholesome, see to it that mutton rails
ing and wool growing are properly encour'
aged as u matter of health and economy-
Meat is a great item in the expense of board
of operatives, etc. If we grow our own
wool we shall always have mutton plenty
and cheap. This will affect materially the
price of other meat -Farm and Fireside.

SPRINGS FIRST GIFT.
BY MARGARET L. SANGSTER.

BY MARGARET E. sANGSTER.
Oh Spring, if thou hadst nothing brought
Save thy sweet self to win us,
If only thy fair hand had wrought
A spell of beauty In us,
Need were that we should sing thy praise,
Who thrill to thy caresses,
And feel the gladness of thy days
That all our being blesses
For We had thought thy coming slow,
And had no heart to wait thee
Forgive us, love, since long ago
We oil went out to meet thee.
We went by each untrodden way,
We sought in silent places,
For well we knew our patient faith
Should find thy flower traces
And, hidden half by sere dead leaves,
We saw a vine-life growing;
Sure never fullest Autumn sheaves
Awakened joy SO glowing.
Hereafter Summers roses may
In red or white salute us,
But this is memory's browning day,
The day we found arbutus!
oh clover on the meadow slopes,
Oh daisies by the river,
Oh little bud to light that cpes,
Oh cedar green forever!
Not one SO wins our heart to-day,
As this, whose brown DISCUSSES
or withered leaves and lances gray
Gave us such glad surprises.
So shy and sweet beneath our feet,
Green leaves and waxen flowers,
The snow-whte, blushing pink to meet
Such looks of love as ours
And Spring NO more may hide away.
Nor shua our smiling faces,
Since, linger wheres0e'r she may,
We know her trysting places.

"IN 4 RExARKABLE STATE OF PREsER-

| "IN \ RENARKABLE STATE OF PREsER-
vArIoN. We have heretofore objected
to this phrase. as applied to living hu-
man beings but we believe we have
now found fit subject for its use. The
body of Mr.. Flint, who died here on the
Sd instant, was embalmed by Prof.
Crane, by his new method, which now
seems to take precedence over all Others
1t was our fortune to witness the en-
balming, two days after death. 1t con-
sisted simply in the injecting into the
principal artery of the body chemical
solution which it was found on inspec.
ton had permeated the entire tissues of
the body, restoring it in a few minutes
to . marble like whiteness. On Sunday,
BY the politeness of the Professor, we
were invited to again examine the body,
and found it had been perfectly preserv-
ed against dissolution, aud that it pre-
sented the same appearance as when We
frs. saw it. After years of patient
labor in the laboratory, the Professor
presents q new system of embalming,
and claims that it is always effective
and that bodies may be preserved thus
indefinitely. We would be incredulous
had we not seen the proofs. 10 the pre-
paration of birds for the cabinet he
embalms their bodies by the same chem
ical, and thus does away with all neces-
sity for removing their bodies from the
skin. -Marysrlle Appeal.

But will infaIlibility brook dictation

Council has been summoned in vain, or
shall bring its august deliberations to a
close, having done nothing but regulate
some trivial forms and ceremonies! Pho
Mono has pronounced the Immaculate
Conception and issued the Syllabus, but
the failure OF infallibility would be prac-
tically the failure of his pon,ifcase. If
infailibili,y succeed, the outlook is not
cheering for the Church. The bishops
who have stood up against it will doubt
less profess acceptance in an obedient
spirit. There seems, indeed, no more
difficulty in declaring the Pope alone in
fallible than 10 declaring a majority of
a council infallible. And there would

bishop Manning rates so highly, of Civ
