MORE HOLIDAYS.

In an article on the Centennial celebration
the Norfolk Hlrgtnian says: t'These memo>
rial exercises, whatever else they miss, will at
any rate bring us holidays. Holiday is the
crying want of our life in this country. We
allow ourselves fewer festivals, fewer intervals
of rest, fewer seasons of pure aud simple en-
jOyment than any people of the earth In more
than half of Europe religious festivals alone
give the people twice and four times as many
holidays as We have, and in the Protestant
States of Europe their place is taken by stated
public holidays, and supplemented besides by
the custom, universally observed, of vacations
enjoyed by men of every business or profession.
In England, for example, the scholastic vacation
is copied by the lawyers vacation and the pub
lie officers vacation. 1t would be bold man
who should claim that We do more good affec-
tive work, or accomplish more in year or
lifetime than the English people, yet our year,
nay too often our lifetime, is one long labour
unrelieved except by Sundays, and perhaps
by some three days of stated holiday per an
mum, while in England the very hardest
worked lawyer, merchant, politician, or pub
lie officer, takes regularly his holiday of three
to six weeks"

STAY WHERE You ARE,

Ii has been well said by writer that one
of the greatest drawbacks to prosperity is the
FESTIVE, rowing, and unsettled spirit of the
people. Each one imsgines than there is an
El Dorado somewhere. or that some section is
more prosperous than his own, and that he
must get to it before he can accomplish any
thing The idea unsettles him, and if he
does not "pull up" and migrate at once, he is
forever thinking abOutit, and neglects to inn
prove his present home and farm. The delu>
sion has been wide spread since the war, and
much individual disaster has been the result.
The curse of Reuben seems to rest upon the
people.
It is great mistake. COntsntment is the
great secret of life. Old Horace struck the
right key when he said Happiness de-
ponds not upon place nor climate, but upon the
state of ones mind" "Rolling stones gather
no moss" and the experiment of selling on.
aud moving, in the hope of bettering the COM
ditiOu, often ends in bitter disappointment
and irretrieyable loss.
Better stay where you arc. If you are in
good community, and your lands have bottom,
drive down your pegs and locate. Remem>
Der that there's more in the man than the
land" as old Jones said, on returning from
Texas, after terrible failure, to the worn out
homestead he had sold, and found it blooming
like garden. Right up the old dwelling, re-
new the OutbuildiDgs, palings, fences, and
barns; spend few dollars in white paint, and
give the premises an air of cheerfulness.-
Cultivate less ground, and make it richer
every year. Make plenty to eat and some to
sell, and let your crop be clear profit. Plant
fruit trees, have your rye, oats, barley, wheat
and clover patches; fine horses, fat COWS, and
rich butter. Give your wives aud daughters
flower gardens, and assist them in collecting
good assortment of roots and cuttings. Do
these simple things, and, our word for it, your
houses will take new hold upon your affections,
and, instead of the rickety, dilapidated es>
adjustments, and solemn, hungry>looking
countenanees so common in our country, we
will find comfortable and inviting homes,
where all is love, coptentment and happiness.
1t will be ike Colcbian enchantress infu-
sing new juices in the veins for the prolouga.
tion of life and youth. Try it. Turn over .
new leaf and begin anew. Fear God and
love your neighbOrs, your wives, and your
children, and don't try to get rich in one

BARBARA FRIFoHIB AGAIN.

A correspondence between Mayor Kelley,
of Richmond, Va, and Gen. Jubal. A. Early
as to Barbara Fritchie and the fiction of q
Union flag in her hands having been fred ON
by order of Stonewall jackson, in Frederick,
in 1862. Is published in the Richmond Dis
patch. Being certain that the whole story
which Whittier's poem embalmed was sheer
invention, Mayor Kelley asked Gen. Early,
whom he considers well>informed man as to
matters of the history of the army of Northern
Virginia, to give it an authoritative denial
Gen. Early writes letter in reply in his char.
acteristic style. He says in his letter to
Mayor Kelley:
t.Gen. jackson had been severely injured
by fall of his horse on the 9Th, and his corps
reached the vicinity of Frederick on the after
noon of the 9th of September, 1862, under
the command of Gen. d. a. Hill. One di>
vision, (Jaekson's own under the command
of Gen. Starke, marched through Frederick
that evening and camped in the vicinity-one
brigade of the division, under command of
General (then ColoneD Bradley T. johnson,
"a citizen of Frederick up to the beginaing
of the war, being posted in the town to pre-
serve order and prevent any depredations on
the citizens. The other divisions were halted
aud camped near Monocacy junction, near
which Gen. Jackson also camped and / am
very confident that he did not go into Fred
erick until the morning of the 10th, whea
his command marched for the capture of Har,
per's Ferry. The general went through Fred
erick with a cavalry escort, in advance of his
troops, who did not pass through the town
until he was some distance beyond it.
''The so>called 'ex-Confederate' in CALI
fornia, who said 'Stonewall Jackson ordered
his dust>browned ranks to halt in front of Mrs.
Fritchie's house, and that bullet from his
gun was one of the many that hit the flag she
held if he indeed was ever Confederate
soldier, has straycd as far from the truth in
the tale he tells as he has from the land of his
birth. 1t is possible that he may have once
been in the Confederate army, but if SO ven.
ture to affirm that all the shooting he ever did
was with 'long bow If he heard General
Jackson give any such order as that mentioned
by him and described in W6ittier's poem, or
witnessed any firing, by his or any other Off
GERS command, upon flag in Barbara Fritz
chie's or any other woman's hand, then he
heard and witnessed what was heard and wits
messed by no other mortal man. Neither
General Jackson nor any other officer in our
army was capable of giving such a command"
General Early INDUCES, in conclusion, some
sharp expressions in regard to the ancestors of
both Barbara Fritchie aud the poet Whittier,
and the action Of the one and the sympathics
of the other in certain other rebellion, but,
as the Baltimore San says, we don't choose to
repeat our modern cold reb's" utterances on
those points.
