HORACE ON SUBsoIL PLoUGHING.-A
correspondent OF the Boston Post con-
tinues to relate ridiculous stories about
Horace Greeleys experiences in the Ad
irondacks. This is the last:
The philosophe, also made the mis-
take of keeping up" his arguments with
the blunt backwoodsman when they were
not appreciated or listened to. In fact,
when Horace, 20 bis own satisfaction,
demonstrated that a certain piece OF land,
so.called, for it was really nothing but
a surface of limestone rock, could be
made to produce a crop of strawberries,
the frontiersman put what he supposed
would be a crusher, by asking:
How would you git furrow deep
enough to plant ans ything!'
This question broke the whole line OF
the farmers defences, and Horace, with
the keen perception of Won Moltke, and
the Quickness to take advantage Of break
in the line of defence so peculiar to the
first Napoleon, triumphantly replied
"Prepare the ground with subsoil
ploughing
with what p said the countryman,
drawing back as from a lunatic.
"Why," said Horace, I'd do it with
subsoil plough put into the surface Of
the lot, say three feet
The sweat started on the poor coun-
tryman's face as he gasped out
"Make furrur with plough three
feet thick i'm them tarnal rocks Why
you cussed old fool, earthquake could
not get down that far if it tried six

BE PLEASANT AT HONE Many men for
get to leave their business at their place Of
business, and serve to make their homes
uncomfortable by gloomily musing over
their cares and troubles, when they should
be cheerful. 10 all such we commend the
following
And. above all, don't bring your busi-
ness home at night with you. Don't sit in
solitary misan,hropy, or snarl and poke the
fire. Your wife hasn't had chance to
talk to you all day. She has score Of
little cheering items to communicate but,
while You sit there looking so cold and re-
pellant. she has no courage to begin.
Your children are eager for a game OF
romps, but they are "siraid Of papa when
he looks as he does here to.nigh so they
congregate in halfawed manner in the
corners. until it is time to go to bed. No
pleasant chat, no merry laughter, no game
at romps, no music--nothing bat gloom
and constraint, because father has come
home in bad humor."
You ungrateful man you inhuman ice
berg to behave 30 in the bosom Of your
family to turn away from the pleasures
and privileges still left you, because you
can't have everything just as you want it.
Think OF the loving, clinging hearts that
your GOODNESS shadows-ot the bright faces
over which your flown has cast reflected
gloom. Are you not ashamed OF yourself!
Again, your burdens may be so heavy
that you cannot smile. But, Oh be kind.
Because your own soul is dark, don't pierce
another heart with q needless wound by
your coldness and sullenness. Because
there are some thorns in your way, don't
plant other thorns in the path Of another
with your own hand. If you cannot be
cheerful, be kind.

AMERIcANIsMs. Probably very few Of
our readers are aware how many of the
words in current use in this country are
pure Americanisms--unknown in England.
An Englshman in America. like Yankee
in England. finds himself often puzzled by
the words heard in familiar speech We
will mention few Of the most striking of
these

land as applied to place where things are
So d. They say shop instead as " book
shop; grocery shop. drug shop" etc.
whereas, in this country we use the woru
shop" to designate room where me-
chanicsl work is done.
Dry Goods This is a very convenient
t!rm in this country, but it is wholly un.
known in Great Britain Instead of using
any enc comprehensive word to cover all
the goods which women buy except mil
linery and shoes, the English have several
distinctive words, such as linen drapers,
drapers, mercers, hosiers, haberdashers,
etc words little used here. These were
doubtless compressed into the one term,
"dry goods" in this new world. to cover
the necessity which sparse settlement com
PEELED, Of having one place where every.
thing could he purchased.
Calico.--This word. in England, means
any cotton cloth-usually white.
Fix-in England, this world is never
used in the sense Of putting in order or
mending.
Bogus. American word, and a very
convenient one. too. We are compelled TO
admit that tho opportunities to use it are
by no means few
Baggage. to signify the trunks.
clothing. etc., of a traveller. The English
Say luggage deeming it more unpreten'
tious.
Boss.--A superintendent of laborers. In
England they usually say master"
Bureau--In England they always say "a
chest of drawers"
Clever--ln England this word is only
used to signify quickwit,ed or skillful.
Conclude--In England this word is nov
er used to signify a deter mnation to do a
thing.
Corn-In England this word includes
all cereals, especially wheat, rye, barley
and oats.
Dead head-No such word is known in
England. but there is great need OF it.
Woods-In England, "a wood
Pantaloons-ln England, "trousers,"
Ticket-Railroad tickets and election
tickets are unknown in England.
Reliable--In England they say crust
worthy"
venison-In England applied to all wild
game.
Sck-ln England never used except to
indicate sickness at the stomach.
Waiter, loafer, gerrymander, lobbying
and logrolling are unknown in England.
Fall-In England they say autumn y
and in this they do not include November
Drsss-English women have no dresses

bonds are to be taken BY She contractors
for the construction of the Shenandoah

VALLEY RAILROAD ELECTION IN Angus
TA-The Staunton Spectator thus refers
to the fact that the election which occurr-
ed in Augusta, Va, on Saturday last,
on the question of subscribing $780,
900 to the stock Of the Valley Railroad
Company. the project was defeated, as
the required three ffths majority was not
obtained
The defeat of the subscription is due
chiefly, as Appended, to the fact that
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Compa-
ny succeeded in making the impression
in the eastern portion of the county that
their road will be constructed through
that portion of the country without cost.
We regret on many accounts, the defeat
of the subscription, but do not despair
yet of having the Railroad built. We
have faith that some means will be adop-
ted which will insure the construction of
this road. It is too important an i'm
provement to fail being constructed. The
total vote being 3,743, it required 2,246
votes to be cast in the affirmative to car
ry the subscription ana there were but
1888 affirmative votes cast, the subscrip-
ton failed to be carried by 263 votes.

TIE result of the Augusta vote whic

TIE result of the Augusta vote which
defeated the county subscription to the
Valley Railroad has somewhat dampened
the enthusiasm of the friends of this road,
aid, Notwithstanding General Lee has ex-
pressed his willingness TO accept the
Presidency Of it, have become somewhat
incredulous as to its speedy CONSTRUCT on.
We can not be br ought to believe that the
matter of three hundred thousand doll ars
can materially retard the construction Of
any road of so material interest to sections
possessing such ample facilities and means
for its construction within themselves.
1t may be true that the Shenandoah Val
ley Company did exercise an Influence in
defeating this subscription. by holding
cut inducements, from the Pennsylvania
Company, for the speedy completion Of
their road yet the very influence that
defeated the vote will ultimately insure
she Valley Road. The two routes through
the Valley are under the patronage Of ri
val interests and neither will suffer the
other to secure any advantage in trade,
without spirited fight. There is real
sntagonism towards Baltimore Roads en-
gendered by the rival interest of Phila-
uclphia and New York Already Penn
syivania cap ital has formed its
connections to control the line from Alex
andlia to Fredericksburg and will control
the route to Richmond, and the treaty
with the Camden and Amboy Railroad
for lease Of the lines through the state
ofNcw jersey viii enable this road to
control the Flew YorL and Washington
connection, or can refuse to slow the
baltimore AID Ohio Company to sci
through connections. With a line o.
Road through the Valley of Virginia with
Southern connections the entire trade nc
travcl from the South will be diverted
through the Pennsylvania connection on the
Potomac from Baltimore. It was a master
stroke Of diplomacy that thus gives Penn
eylgauia capital the control Of the South
ern trade-and now it is an imperative
necessity that Baltimore should do SOM
thing to relieve herself from the embar-
asing situation. The only practical wa,
in which she can accomplish this, now
is by means of the Valley Road, tho con-
struction of which, by Baltimore capital
is one of the certainties of the situation.

In conversation with Peter B. Bors

In conversation with Peter B. Borst,
Esqr.. President of the Shenandoah Val
ley RAILROAD, few days since, he posi-
lively assured US that the contract for the
construction Of that Road by the Pennsyl-
vania Company is Eoai Jtfede award. and
that the company is perfectly solvent and
able to complete the Road in the specified
time, and will Immediately commence the
work. Mr.. Borst Indignantly denies the
charge made against his management, to
the eject that this award of contract was
agreed upon and published only as clev-
er ruse to defeat the Augusta subscription
TO the Valley Road. Mr.. B. also inform
ed US that the Management of the I'M
provenent Company will arrive at Front
Royal, in a few days. when they will pr O.
coed to make the necessary arrangements
for the commencement of the work at
once
