For the Virainia1f.

Mr.. EDITOR AS great deal has been said
about Horace Greeley. being bondsman for jeff
Davis and President Grant as much abused BY
the same class for his vindictiyeness toward fhe
South, let me relate an act Of Grant, which, in
my humble judgment, is more praise-worthy by
an hundred fold than Greeley's signature to that
bond. because Grant did not expect any REGARD.
About the close of the war young soldier be-
longing to Col. Mosbys command, was arrested
charged with the murder of Union soldier and
tried by military court, found guilty and cen
fenced to the penitentiary for life A short time
thereafter the father, (now q county Judge in
Eastern Va.,) and mother visited Wasbip gtor, :.
seeking an influence IN favor of their child
They were without money, and very limited
acquaintance in the city. They sought the nfu-
ence af a distinguished Statesman, but was in
formed by him that he was without influence With
the President (Johnson.) Almost ready to give
up in utter despair of accomplishing the object
of their visit, they fortunately were introduced
to kind hearted son of the Emerald Isle, to
whom they told their tale of woe and sorrow,
and he at once told them that he would see Gene.
raj Grant, which he did, and the General at once
agreed to accompany him to Che President, and
in twenty-four hours, the almost broken hearted
parents, had the happiness of embracing their
darling boy, free man, and this noble act, was
done by Grants interposition, without an expec-
fancy of reward or emolument, except an apIr.r-
ing conscience and the blessing of mother and
fatatr.
Now put that beside Greeley's signature TO
Davis bond, and which is the nobler act, and de-
serves the praise and gratitude of Virginians.--
Names of alt parties can be given if required.

Judge John H. McCue, Of Nelson county, is
the father alluded to.

SLEEPING FLOWERS.

Almost all flowers sleep during the night.
The marigold goes to bed with the sun, and
with him rises weeping. Many plants are so
sensitive thatthey close. their leaves during the
passage of cloud. Tie dande!ion opens at
FIVE or six in the morning and shuts at nine
in the evening The goats beard wakes at
three in the morning and shuts at FIVE or siN
in the evening. The English daisy shuts up
its blossom in the evening and opens its sday's
eye" to meet the early beams Of the morning
sun. The crocus tulip and many others, close
their blossoms at different hours towards the
evening. The ivy-leafed lettuce opens at
eight in the morning and closes forever at
four in the afternoons: The night-foweriug
cereus turns night into day. It begins to-
expand its magnificent sweet-scented blossoms
in the twilight; it is full blown at midnight;
and closes never to open again at the dawn
of the day. In clover field not leaf opens
until after sunrise. Those plants which seem
to be awake all night have been called "the
bats and owls Of the vegetable kingdom

Mow1Na SrRAWBERRrEs. following
IS taken from the late report of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society We give it
for what it is worth, for we know nothing
about it. The thing looks reasonable, and
could be easily tested: 1T seems proper
here to mention The interesting discussion on
the strawberry, held on the 2lst of June,
the second day of the strawberry show. This
vas the first attempt at such meeting, and
gave much satisfaction. both in itself and in
the encouragement which it afforded of SINH
lar meetings in the future. The principal
pfacticaf point developed was the advantage
of moving DOWN the leaves after the crop is
gathered. This operation appears TO be aual-
agous in principle to heading down tree.
The plant having finished the work of the
season, and being about to commence a new
one, salutary stimulus is given to it oy re-
moving the old and useless, aud perhaps fun
gus foliage. We may add, that one Of the
most successful growers of strawberries In
this State says that in his opinion, the prac-
tice Of moving off the vines after taking OF
the crop Of fruit is the most important ad-
vance in strawberry culture that has been
made fol twenty five years.

SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAN.

When things don't 60 to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
= Don't waste yeur time in fretting,
49, But drive gray that frown;
Since life is oft perplexing.
IT'S much the wiser plan >
Is bear all trials brasely,
aTa' And smile whene'er you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And thus despeil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble,
You always have to'pay.
It is good old maxim,
Which should be-often preached
Don't cross the bridge 5eforeyou,
Until the bridge is reached
You might be spared much signing,
Ifyou would keep in mind,
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket
That precious jewel-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
You may have an empty purse;
land earth has many trials
Which consider worse y
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal, span.
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whene'er you can.
