start newspapers, to inform the public

not unfrequently, AND we hear no more
OF them or the void either. We do not
profess to have discovered one of those
voids. In fact, we don't care whether
there is void or not. Instead of hunt
ing up we intend to go to work and make
place for a newspaper, and strive to
establish it there on the basis Of public
confidence and appreciation.

NTMR0D OF THE M0UNrAINs.-The

with hospitality not perhaps so original
and picturesque as that of the man of the
mountains, but with equal frankness and
cordiality, and in a house whose architect
ure and appliances indicated its propindui-

surrounded with staIwart sons and buxom
daughters, and his household was crowned
with substantial, smiling wife, which
gives things an air of comfort not otherwise
attainable.
Adam karr had also seen somthing of
the world. Having driven cattle in his
youth, he had recollections and anecdotes
OF sundry visits to the lowland towns, and
perhaps had been even as far as Baltimore.
But these were among the vanities of his
youth, aud had left little or no impress on
his manners or character With a fine,
genial, honest nature as a foundation, be

his adjacent mountains aud meadows. The
lord proprietor of some two thousand acres
of rocks and forests, lying at all angles
between 4 perpendicular and plain, he
was mighty hunter of deer and could tell
bear stories to compete with Meshach
Browning. Five flnt-lock rifles of differ
ent calibres and patterns stood behind his
chamber door-percussion he despised as
N innovation-while skins and antlesrs

hunting pieces, of length and weight to
crush'a dandy sportsman his bare, horny
feet, impatient of shoes. except on ceremo-

speech, occasionally startling by its direct
ness-all saTored OF the mountains, savage

enriched with several handsome strips of

of the Moorfed country Hence the COM
Portable homestead was surrounded with

of corn in the cribs aud hay in the barns.
And hence, also. there was a certain milki-
ness, as 1t we're the milk of sweet corn,
Towing from old Adams heart, which was
abundant enough to make one forget the

CoNsIsTExCY.-In g" Sundays Abroad, "
Rev. Mr.. Guthrie tells this incident which
occurred while he was visiting a brother
minister in the North Highlands:
| said to my host, as [ retired 10 my
bedroom on Saturday night, 81 may ring
for hot water in the morning" On this
he instantly raised his hands, saying, Hush,
hush :" Astonished, and taken quite aback,
and fancying. from his deprecatory manner
and look, that he had greatly misunderstood
nv question repeated it. But this only
called forth a more startling and emphatic
warning, following by this explanation,
soto voce: Speak of shaving tntle Lords
day and you need never preach more in
shire 3" However much mi ght disapprove
of customs that require tradesman to open
shop on Sunday for such purpose, could
not see the difference between a man shaw
ing his beard and washing his face on that
day. This want of logic, however, was a
small matter compared with want OF con-
sistency l could not reflect on without
little grief and much astoDishment,-thIs
namely. that in hundreds Of houses where
you could not get, for love or money, one
drop of hot water to shave with on the
Lords day. you would get plenty where

was not the bane of the country, the present
and eternal ruin of thousands, as well as
the main cause both of our poverty and
crime.

FASHION AND HER WINS, - Fashion
has at length reached point in dictation
at which We rejoice, for its laws are not
COW simply for the mere apparel. A for
eign magazine has description of dress
of which It says, - with this costume the
mouth is to be worn slightly open" This
IS happy, for there are so many women
who do not know what % do with their
mouth, any more than timid young men
know what to do with their hands, and
minute directions of this sort, studied with
every style Of dress, will be very conve-
nient. 1t Is to be hoped that some cos
tunes viii require the mouth to be worn
shut, for the effect IN the street would be
anything but agreeable If every lady went
about with her mouth open. So much de-
pends upon expression, in combination
with costume, that the subject is worthy
Of study, The effect Of the prettiest dress
Is often spoiled by a sour expression Of the
face, aud as expression IS simply an affair
Of the muscles, It can be prevented by the
artistic dressmaker We are very anxious
to see, by the way. what women will be
like when the Worths and other artists
have finished with her She is already,
with her three story hat, panier built up
ike a dome, high heels and fascinating
wiggle walk, creation of great interest,
aud if she &" wears her mouth slightly
open" there viii be no resisting her. If,
now. she we're to nearly close her eyes, and
if it is not irreverent, 60 it blind" we
could suggest nothing more. Weshould say,
however, that these fashions are not uni
yersal. The women in Lancashire, Eng
and, are driven into still stranger apparel.
they often put on the coarse clothes of
he miner, and work at the mouth of the
Dit with pick and shovel. They also
engage in the heavy work of the farm, and
are employed on the canal barges harness
and lead the horses, and take their turn at
he helm, and help to load the vessel.
These girls are rough 10 manner and coarse
n language, but honest and industrious.
They take their pint of beer, and enjoy
her pipes, and never grumble. The
question of how to wear the mouth has
lot yet got down to them.--Hartord

THE CADI's DECIsIoN-A poor Turkish
slater cf Constantinople, being at work
upon the roof of house, lost his footing,
and fell into the narrow street upon man
who Glanced to be passing at the time.
Thepedestriau was killed by the conclusion,
while the slater escaped without material
injury. 4 son of the deceased caused the
slater to be arrested and taken before the
oadi, where he made the most grave charge,
and claimed ample redress The cadi
listened attentively, an1 IN the end asked
the slater what he had to sayin his defense
As Dispenser Of justice" answered the ac-
cused, in humble mood, % it is even as this
man says; but God forbid that there should
be evil in my heart. l am a poor man
and know not how [ can make amends"
The son of the man who had been killed
thereupon demanded that condign punish
ment should be inflicted uron the accused.
The cadi meditated few moments, and
finally said 1t shall be So" Then to the
slater he continued Thou shalt stand
in the place where the father Of this man
stood when thou didst fall upon him."
And to the aocuser he added " And thou
shalt, if it so please thee, 90 upon the
roof, and fall upon the culprit, even as he
did fall upon thy father. Allah is great. =

JeffersOn's Old Virginia Homestead.

His marriage, as We have seen, had dou-
bled his estate, increasing the number of
his slaves to more than eighty and the
profits of his profession had added three
thousand acres to his paternal farm. There
had gathered about him, too. on his noun
tain-top. including his own family. his
sisters brood, his mother ana brother. his
Italian gardeners, the mechanics employed
on his house, and his overseers, q patriarch
al household OF thirty-iour persons. His
presence at home was peculiarly needed at
all times. for his wife was not one Of those
robust ladies of the Old Dominion. who
could conduct a plantation as well as their
husbands; and she was generally absorbed
in nourishing a life more feeble than her
own. 1t was for such reasons, rs we may
presume, that he now withdrew from q
profession that compelled him to be long
absent from Albermarle He cit himself
strong enough to trust his future to glori~
Gus agriculture. and the manly, homely,
arts that facilitate agriculture lie might
build a mill for his own and his neighbors
grain he might keep a few boys at work,
making nails for his country he might
convert some of his wood into timber and
! little of his clay into bricks but hence
forth to the end of his days he derived
the greatest part of his revenue from the
culture of the soil He was farmer, as
his fathers had been before him.
At a time when busy and capable men
shrink from public office with feeling re-
sembling horror, it may be well to note,
that few persons have ever performed
public duty at such a sacrifice OF personal
feeling and private interest, as Thomas
Jefferson. Even in old and highly organ
lied communities, the head of such a
household can be i'll spared; butin Virginia,

One of the principal staples upon Which
New England farmers, especially those OF
the three northern States, rely to make
the business profitable is hemlock bark
for tanning purposes. The bark IS rather
contrary about lying with docility IN cord
piles, and thus gives occasion to a good
deal Of difference, not to say cheating, be-
tween farmers and buyers, over the actual
cubical contents of load or pile. The
Shoe and Leather Reporter, this week,
proposes that it be sold by weight. A cord
ranges from 1900 to $500 pounds in
weight, and the Reporter thinks a far
cord would average quite near ton OF
224O pounds. The difficulty is that the
bark. by absorbing MOISTURE not only
Gains weight. but also deteriorates in quail
ity. 1t would thus sink in value, while 1t
rose in price. By judiciOus harmonic
ing of these facts, however, more just
may be reached.
