There Is little spot Of ground
Beneath the willows pending shade;

And there, there is cross of stone,
With fragrant rosos oversprcad;

'Tis there the wild bird builds her nest,
Fearing no danger nor alarm; 'ffN
The wild bird knows that spot Is blest,

There, too, the fitting fireflics
Their fairy lanterns burn each night,
Think they the lifeless babe will rise,
To chase again their sparks Of light.
There, crickets in the evening sing,
And butterflies sport in the sun;

Grants Contempt for Law.

NSHeSaPs ASi l11Wt
The alarming outrage recently com.
mitted at New Orleans by President
Grant, through his brother.in-law and
his other ofiicoholders, though exceed.
ing in audacity and in its menace to
liberty everything before attempted
in this country, is, after all, entirely
in harmony with the general conduct
of Grant since his accession to the
Presidency.
The predominant characteristic of
his Administration from the beginning
until now is contempt of law.
Immediately after the inauguration,
Gen. Grant appointed Adolphe Borie
of Philadelphia to thcnominai position
Of Secretary of the Navy, at the same
time assigning his own personal ia.
vorite, Admiral David ID. Porter, to
perform the real duties of the Office
This involved both imposture and
asurpation. The President had no
right whatever to intrust any naval
officer with the power and authority
of Secretary of the Navy. The act
was one of contempt for law upon
great scale; and it was perseverod in
until Mr.. Borie, who has some sens
tiveness, could bear it no longer.
Another act, notorious then and
since, in which Grants contempt for
law has been manifested, is the ap-
pointed Of Augustus G. Ford as Asses.
sor ofInternal Revenue in the Eighth
District Of this city. Ford was an
old crony of Gen. Grants, the Ford
family having been connected with
the Grant family in various ways
The law requires that every Assessor
of Internal Revenue must live in the
district where his office is; but Grant
appointed Ford, although he knew at
the time that he lived in Brooklyn /;
and though Ford still lives there, he
is continued in Office.
Another unblushing outrage upon
the law is Grants maintenance of a
military court at the White House,
The law provides that no military
officer shall be attached TO the house
hold of the President. and expressly
forbids any such officer TO perform the
functions of any civil post Never.
theloss. President Grant has from the
first kept about his person three or
four generals and colonels. giving the
mansion Of the Chief Magistrate the
appearance of a military hendauarters
This also has involved imposturc as
well as a violation of law. These
officers are sent to Congress with
messages from the President. and in
the official journal in which the pro.
ceedings of Congress are published
they are spoken Of, without their mil
itary titles, as private secretaries of
the President, when all the while il
is notorious that they are officers of
the army detailed from their proper
duties to swell the court and perform
tho private behests of the ruler. Had
Andrew johnson committed any such
violation of law, his conviction in the
impeachment trial would have been
certain, and the whole country would
have acquiesced in its Justice.
A still more giaring violation of law
is Grants interference in The civil war
in San Domingo. Without any au.
thOrity whatever, he has directed the

A Husbands Revenge.

The most difficult thing in the
world for q woman TO do is to get
ready to 60 anywhere. And there is
nothing woman will resent quicker
or moro fercely than an intimation
that she may possibly miss the train.
Our friend, Brayfogle, gives us an in
stance of this. Mr.. Bray was sup
posed to take the ten o'clock train on
the Bee Line, to visit some relatives
in an interior town. Having suffered
on previous occasions for injudioioue
suggestions, Bray thought that, for
once, he would let things take their
natural course, So he slipped his cof-
fee and ate his eggs on toast, while
Madame curled and powdered, and
danced attendance on the looking
glass, and tied bark on the back OF
her head. Then Bray sat by the stove
an hour and read the morning paper,
while the Madame still continued TO
get ready. At last, just as hc had
reached the final paragraph of reading
matter, and was beginning on the ad.
vertisements, Madame tied her bon.
net strings under her chin, took one
long, lingering, loving look at the
image reflected in the glass, and
swcctly announced
"Wcll, my dear, I'm rcadyv'
"l,cady for tchdt," asked Bray, in
well affected astonishment.

Liberality in Farming.

In this art, and almost in this art
alone, cit is the liberal hand which

Liberality in providing utensils
is the saving both Of time and la
Dor. The more perfect his instru
mcnts the more profitable they
are.
So also it is with his working cat
tle and his stock. The most perfect
in their kinds are ever the most
profitable.
Liberality in good barns and
warm shelters is the source Of
health, strength and comfort to ami
mals-causcs them to thrive on less
food. and secures from damage all
sorts of crops.
Libcrality also in the provision ot
food for domestic animals is the
source Of flesh, muscle and ma
nure.
LiberaIity to the earth in seed
culture and compost, IS the source
Of its bounty.
Thus it is in agriculture as in any
part of creation, a wise and pater-
nal providence has inseparably con
nccted our duty and our happiness.

EXCHANGES OF SEED WHEAT,

EXCHANGES OF SEED WHEAT, &c.
One of the greatest drawbacks in
wheat growing in this State is the
use Of tie same variety of wheat
from year to year on the same fields.
\ judicious system of exchanges
even among neighbors, Of seed Of
all kind, always increases the crop,
or rather prevents loss in the
average yield. We have known of
instances where the yield Of wheat,
by using the seed grown upon the
same farm for three successive years
has been reduced more than one
half, which has been restored to its
largest yield by using the seed Of
the same variety grown upon anoth-
er farm, and which was originally
obtained from the party in whose
hands, by resolving from year to
year, it had so sadly deteriorated in
the yield. We think experience
will bear us in the assertion that a
loss Of at least twenty-five per cent.
is general when seed is used more
than three years on the same ground,
or even upon the same farm. Re
new the seed once in three years, at
least, by procuring that grown as
far as possible from the field where
it is to be Sown. SO well satisfied
are we Of the benefits growing out
Of judicious exchanges that we
would gladly pay all the expenses
of doing so if we were allowed half
the profits derived from it.-Uone-

Treatment of Wounds in Horses and
Cattle.

Many permanent blemishcs which
depreciate the value of horses might
be prevented by careful attention as
soon as the injury is inflicted.
Broken skin on the knee may some
times for want of proper treatment,
result in an ugly scar which will re-
duce the selling value Of horse
one fourth or more. In farmers
stables horses are often permitted
to get loose, and the consequence IS
that some morning the owner finds
one of his animals badly kicked. A
wound made by the sharpened calks
Of horseshoe in winter time is
very ugly looking one, and needs
some little surgery to dress so as to
avoid a bad blemish; and yet it
may be done by the use Of such
skill as is at command of any one
who can dress cut on his own
finger. In the first place, whenever
an injury is inflicted, it should be
attended to at once, or with as little
delay as possible. If any dirt is in
the wound, it should be cleansed
with soft sponge and luke-warm
water. Then with proper needle
Ga curved surgeons needle should
be uscd) and stout silk twist, pass
as many stitches through the edges
of the wound as will draw them
and hold them together. These
stitches should not be made as in
sewing cloth, but the thread is to
be passed through the skin at points
directly opposite to each other. The
two ends of the thread should be
tied into a secure knot after draw
ing the edges Of the wound closely
together. 1.-THE edges of the wound
are ragged, some care must be ex-
ercised to bring the corresponding
parts into their proper place. If
self-swclling takes place, apply cold
water until it is reduced, and avoid
all irritating or spirituous applica-
lions unless they become necessary.
Nature will generally perform the
cure if assisted to make a proper
start. If the wound should not
seem inclined to heal, and a stimu-
lating application becomes ncccs-
sary, the following ointment has
been found of great benefit: To one
pound of hogs lard take a quarter
of a pint Of spirits of turpcntine and
an ounce of blue vitriol (sulphate of
coppcr), powder the blue vitriol very
fine, melt the lard, and stir in the
other ingredients, until cool; apply
a sufficient quantity to the wound.
\ healthy action will soon ensue.
