In this issue We publish from the ar

also from the MtciiigeHcer AN account OF
the execution OF Thompson.
These two cases have occupied the at

IN unusual degree and have awakened
from all classes mole feeling than amy
ether cases that have been before Our
courts tor years past.
Each article well represents the state
Of feeling where these trials took place
in reference to these cases. Singular as
it may appear, each community Is DIS
satisfied with the result OF the trial there
held. Onr, because the sentence appears
as much too light, as in the other TOO
severe for the crime committed in their
respective communities.

liar features
In the case OF John Thompson we see
~ man irresOlutc and undecided, OF dit

One, who ii settled in lite, with regu-
lar domestic surroundings, we would
sooner expect to see in prayer meeting,
or in some place where he would he sub

and that generally in peaceful pursuits,
rather than us u leader in drunken

To look on him one would say that ii
he took another's life, il would he more
likely to be when parallized by fear or
some strong emotion, SO that he Was not
really himself; rather than the result ol
cool deliberate malice, or hot blOoded

Should circumstances place him where

like the last man, almost, who would

On the other hand, Sutton is thus de-

Prerequisites of Success.

Integrity of character and truth in
the inner man are the prerequisites OF
success in any calling, and especially
so in that of the merchant. These are
attributes which never fail to command
respect and win admiration. No one
fails TO appreciate them, and if they
"do not pay" in the vulgar sense of
the phrase, they bring an amount OF
satisfaction and peace to the owner that
all the wealth of Cresus could not
yield,
There is no better stock in trade than
these principles; no capital goes so far
or pays so well, or is so exempt from
bankruptcy and loss. When known,
they give credit and confidence, and in
the hardest of times will honor your
paper in bank. They give you an un-
limited capital to do business upon, and
everybody will endorse your paper.
and the general faith of mankind will
be your guaranty that you will.not fail.
Let every young man, upon cOmmenc-
ing business, look well to these indis-
pensable elements of success, and de-
fend them as he would the apple of his
eye. If inattentive and reckless here,
he will imperil everything. Bank
rupt'y in character is seldom repaired
in an ordinary lifetime. A man may
suffer in reputation and recover; not
so the man who suffers in character.
Be just and truthful. Let these be
the ruling and predominating princi-
piles of your life and the reward will
be certain, either in the happiness they
bring to your own bosom, or the sue
cess which will attend upon all your
business operations in life, or both.

What comfortable word this il and
what pity that the French do not know
what il means. But is it not still
greater pity that ,rs, who have the word.
and know its meaning. should so often
sacrifice it for the most unSubStantial
reasons: The fact i, We are ashamed
to be comfortable. lest We appear un-
genteel. The best chamber i'm the house
must be shut up for company; the
lightest and the handsomest parlor
must be kept closed for the same reason.
We must have large house and Seve-
raj servants for the sake of appearances
and people oftentimes cut themselves
off from intelligent society because they
cannot afford to receive them with quite
a. much show and ceremony as some of
their neighbOrS. l. not all this foolish:
If we cannot afford To be elegant we
can. at least, DE comfortable; and if We
can procure the elegancieS of life, why
not enjoy them every day: Why must
fine carpets, handsome curtains. pretty
pictures and airy rooms be shut up
three hundred and fifty days in a year,
for the sake of making grand show
now and then? | believe no nation in
the world has such Il fear of public
opinion a. the American. TO Il certain
extent the check j. Il salutarv one; but
our domestic life is matter of much
more concern TO Us than il j. To the
public, and we ought to have sufficient
courage to study our own comfort. and
crafty our own tastes.
Our way of visiting and receiving
visitors is laboriOus, hard work. III
friends are staying with us, we feel is
il every moment must be devoted to
them. We cannot sleep or ride or read
for fear our friends should be left alone
This is making visiting burden to the
visitors as well As to ourselves. We
become uneasy under the restraint. and
they feel restless under conviction
that they impose it on us. The truth
is, it is oftentimeS a great luxury to a
visitor to be left alone Perfect free
dom is the only thing that can make
visiting real pleasure to both parties.
This little sketch does not at all apply
to gentlemen, for, to their credit be it
said, they take more solid comfort in
one hour than many ladies do in
whole week. They believe in using
the best and airiest rooms, in lounging
around on the easiest chairs and sofas.
and in letting Gods bright sun and
pure fresh air blow through the house.
In the matter of dress We know how
far they surpass us (but in this we do
not care to initiate them, though we
might take good lesson from it, too.
Now, which course is the wisest, not
TO ask which is the most comfortable? +?
An ordinary woman will never get
character for real elegance by starving
herself for state occasions; and truly
tasteful one will lose nothing by being
seen without her coronatirn
Queen.

AGRICULTURAL.

FAILING PAsTUREs.-A great many
pastures begin TO fail quite early In the
season TO furnish sufficient food, of
suitable quality, for the stock which
they are expected to keep. As result
of rthis lessening of the quantity and
lowering of the quality of their food,
cows will give less milk than they did
earlier in the season and less than they
would if their food could be increased.
Now it is great deal better for the
cows, and also for their owners If some
way to prevent this partial drying up is
adopted. 1t is true that if nothing is
done the cows will give more milk when
the grass in the pasture becomes more
abundant. But we hold that prevention
of an evil is always more desirable than
a cure. Consequently we would rather
prevent the falling off in the quantity
OF milk than TO find some method of
counteracting il after it had taken place.
That it can be prevented there is no
doubt. An abundance of suitable food
will be an effective preventive. 1t is
rather early in the season to commence
feeding fodder corn, though we should
feed small quantity every day, if it
was large enough TO be economically
used. A light feed of wheat ''shorts"
or a little Indian meal, may be used to
advantage. But if it is not thought best
to feed grain in the summer, consider
able benefit will be derived from feed
ing the cows every night with good
hay. It is easier and cheaper to keep
I'D the flow of milk without Interrupt
lion during the summer, than it is to
secure il after il has once fallen off.
Some pastures retain their freshness
later than this, but there are great
many which do not, and the cows that
are kept in these ought TO be fed at the
barn. They will live without it but
they will not give so much milk or pay
as large a profit as they will if they re-
ceive the extra food which they really
needy. Z. Homestead.

Moral Character.

There is nothing which adds so much
to the beauty and power of man, as
good moral character. Ii is his wealth
his influence-his life. 1t dignifes
him in every station, exalts him in
every condition, and glorifies him at
every period of life. Such character is
more to be desired than everything else
on earth. 1t makes man free and in
dependent. No servile tool-croaking
sycophant-no treacherOus honor seek
er ever bore such character. The pure
joys of truth and righteousness never
spring in such person. If young men
but knew how much good character
would dignity and exalt them, how
glorious it would make their prospects,
even in this life; never should we find
them yielding to the groveling and
base born purposes of human nature.

ZINC IN THE DAIRY.-The question OF
the use OF zinc for dairy utensils is be-
coming quite serious one in consider
alton of the light thrown on its use, by
the medical fraternity. The committee
of the Philadelphia Medical Society ION
epidemic diseases) is our authority for
the statement that pound of butter
placed in zinc lined safe, will in two
hours become so impregnated with zinc
odors that it may be detected by the
taste. This, if supported, is of impor-
tance when taken in connection with
the statement of other medical men, that
the rapid increase of paralysis is due 10
the salts of lead and zine, which are in
various ways absorbed into the system.
When we remember that butter will al
here much more 10 ZiEc than to timed
iron we can see no reason for its use for
dairy utensils. Our experience with a
set of butter coolers with zinc bottoms
and heavy tin sides has convinced us
that the two metals should not be used
in conjunction, for the galvanic action
which ensues will soon destroy the
joint and cause leakage"

Eastern Swords.


There have been some curious feat

facrure in early times. The Damascus
blades, and the Toledo blades, have
each in its own particular sphere ac-
quired great fame for their excellence /;
the keenness of the edge and the exten-
sive and perfect elasticity having been
carried in them 10 the utmost point. We
have all read of Orientals wearing
their swords twisted round their waists
or even coiled up in their turbans, so
great was their elasticity; and swords
have been made so keen as TO cut a silk
shawl in two, while resting lightly on
the edge. Such, at least, have been
the reported wonders: but the Easterns
may probably in this, as in many other
matters, embellish their stories little.
