A Happy Family.

A household in Dayton, Ohio, has a
very curious happy family. It consists
of an old cat and hen that came to their
house in q very dilapidated condition
several months ago. The cat was ruffled
and dirty, and its TANKS very lean, but
it appeared quite grateful for some meat
and milk that were fed it, and settled
down to be quite useful domestic ami
NAL. A few days later an old hen with
an equally woebegone and famished as
pact dropped in, seemed quite as well
pleased with the location and treatment
it received, and it, too, took up its resi-
dence there, and contributed to its sup
port by laying an occasional egg. A
peculiar Old-maidish feature of this sin
gular fowl was, that it would always lay
its egg in the morning before it left its
roost; consequently, in falling, the eggs
were broken and wasted. This state Of
affairs was finally remedied by placing
a bucket of water beneath her, into
which the eggs fell without breaking.
Finally, this whimsical female took 1t
into her Uranium that it would be q
pleasant thing to raise brood of peep
ing chickens. But it was an evident inn
possibility that seemed to be compre-
hended by her ladyship, that she could
hatch eggs from her roost, or by sitting
on bucket of water. After time she
was contentedly settled in q nest with a
dozen eggs beneath her, and in due pro-
cess of events the chickens were hatch
ed, five ofthem. About the same period
the cat had evinced similar domestic
tendency, and became the mother of five
kittens. Both females are close friends,
their nests situated alongside of each
other. Their families intermix, and no
contention ever ensues, while the par
ents will eat with equal good humor
from the same plate or off the same
bone, - 80 secs s-ei - 81

A Matter Worth Thinking AbOut..

1t has become the fashion Especially
!, with those who know very little on the
subJect) to abuse the funding bill. They
call 1t the infamous funding BILL" the
dill OF denominations" &c. One would
suppose from the way they speak of it
that 1t was measure of unmixed evil,
with no redeeming feature about it. Is
this true?
Let us see: First, the whole amount
OF banking capital in the State is less
than "a ,OOO, ,OO0.- The whele amount of
currency issued by these banks is but
little over So 3,OOO, 900. ..s =
State and paid by the people (saying
nothing of county and city taxes) is
about 81, 700, 900.
Now, if this SO, 700, 900 had all to be
paid in currency, is it not evident that
almost the entire currency of the State
would be withdrawn from circulation
by the tax collectors and locked up in
the banks? How, then, could the crops
of the farmers be bought, and how could
the business of the country be carried
I on?
But as 81 200 900 of the taxes is paya-
BILE in coupons, these coupons perform
the office Of 81 ,200, 900 of currency, and
leave the money to flow in the ordinary
to the people of Virginia, who are so
much in need of money to carry on their
business :? 1 am inclined to think that
If everybody had to scrape up 7no1aey to
pay their taxes we would have louder
howl than we now have. Again: The
cry of the anti-funders is that the dear
people are overburthened to meet their
taxes. If this be SO, then everything
which tends to ligthen the burthens is
a benefit to them. Nobody will dispute
that fact. Let us now see how the cou-
pou-feature of the funding bill acts. If
you turn to the price current in the Rich
mond and Baltimore papers it will seem
that tax-receivable coupons are selling
at from 80 to 81 cents in the dollar. In
other words, they are at discount of 10
or 20 per cent. The taxpayer therefore,
who buys coupons at this rate (as almost
everybody does) and pays his tax with
them saves 10 or 20 per cent. of the
amount of his taxes!
Everybody will admit that 1t would
be great relief to the taxpayers to have
the taxes reduced one-fifth. The man
who could accomplish such result
would be hailed as public benefactor.
NoW, the funding bill acconpJishes this
very result !. and yet the peculiar friends
of the people" abuse the funding bill!
suppose the 1unO1DS OIL were repealed
is it not obvious that it would be equiva-
lent to raising the tares to the extent of
the discount on the coupons?
In this view of the case, would it not
be to the advantage of the taxpayer to
have the whole debt funded? If the
number of coupons were increased fifty
per cent. the tendency would be to de-
preciate them still more, and the tax
payers would be relieved to the extent,
probably, of one-fourth instead of one
fifth of their taxes. So far as the tax
payer is concerned it would be equiva-
lent to reduction of twenty-five per
cent. in tho amount of his taxes.

POE II r. Y.
THE FARMERS WIFE.

gu THE FARMERS WIFE.
The farmer came in from the field one day:
His languid step and his weary way,
His bended brow, his sinewy hand,
All showed his work for the good of the land;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
~ And he mows,
~" All for the good of the land. ~.
By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light Of his home and joy of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the mealfor her husbands band;
For she must boil,
And she must broil,
And she must toll,
All for the good of the home.
The bright sun shines when the farmer goes out
The birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about
The brook babbles softly in the glen,
While he wor' SO bravely for the good of men,
For he sows,
- 81 And he mows,
And he hoes,
All for the good of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within,
The dishes to wash, the milk to skim;
The fire goes OUT flies buzz about
For the dear ones at home her heart kept stout;
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for the sake of home
When the day is o'er, and the evening is come,
The creatures are fed, the milking done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
From the labor of the land his thoughts are free;
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work Of the land
But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that's never done;
There is no rest there is no play,
For the good Of the house she must work away:
For to mend the frock,
And to knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good of the home.
When autumn is here, with its chilling blast
The farmer gathers his crop at last;
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he ne'er hath care,
While it blows,
And it SHOWS.
Till winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land.
But the willing wife. till llfe's closing day,
Is the children's guide, the husbands stay;
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her her rest;
For after the test
Comes the rest
With the blest,
In the farmers heavenly home.

"THE LEAP OF DEATH. ~ New York
Graphic. High Bridge, according to
all accounts, will soon lay Iclaim to an
attraction that is not possessed by any
of the watering places in that vicinity.
On Wednesday last M. Vinot, a celebra-
ted French gymnast, who for several
years past has been the rival of Blondin
in feats Of rope walking, visited the
bridge for the purpose of making az
rangements to give performances on the
tight rope. The height, one hundred
and ninety feet from the water, was
deemed no obstacle, the only difficulty
presented being suitable anchorage
grounds for the ropes. M. Vinot finally
concluded to stretch them across the
bridge and at the same height one end
reaching the elevated ground above
Kyle's Park, and the other being secur-
ed on the side of the cliff on the opposite
side of the Harlem river. When every
thing is arranged satisfactorily the dar-
ing Frenchman proposes to execute
some feats lin midair that will startle
the public. The ropes will be occupied
on the occasion of each exhibition by
himself and wife.
During their performance, Vinot, dis
carding his balance-pole. will leap from
one rope to the other. This feat, it is
said, has been accomplished by him du-
ring his career in Europe, and has never
resulted in failure. It requires extra
ordinary nerve and agility, for, should
he miscalculate the distance all eighth
of an inc11 certain death would follow.
The fearful risk attached to this "Leap
of DEATH" as it is termed, has led his
| friends to endeavor to induce him not
to attempt it, but the gymnast laughed
at their fears. He will also walk head
downwards from the rope, holding his
wife in his hands as he walks, his feet
catching in fsmall loops at intervals of
| twelve inches.

FOr Jne SPECTATOR.
Dear Spectator The chain of the
Alleghanies seem to link into one the
people of Virginia, Tennessee, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, and Ala
bama, for all along this magnificent, va
ried and interesting range, the Summer
months are enlivened by so frequent an
Interchange of visitors to and from the
various watering places, elevated noun
tain SUBMITS, and hundred other places
of interest, of romance and beauty, that
by the close of each season the "resort-
ers," the invalids and pleasure-seekers
become SO intimately and agreeably ac-
quainted with each other, that they
seem almost as if they belonged, in some
measure, to one large and extensive cir
Gle of relationship. These thoughts in
voluntarily crossed my mind to-day as
I met some gentlemen who had been to
the Springs of Virginia and Tennessee,
and who directly met with others whom
they had met at Rawley, the White
Sulphur, Tate's Spring, the Warm
Springs of North Carolina, and other
resorts. 1 notice that many of the vlsi-
tors from the Gulf cities go to the Vir-
ginia Springs first, then run down to
Tennessee or North Carolina, and if they
take the Kenesaw Route, will "wind up
the ball" at Catoosa Springs in North
Georgia; but if their route lies towards
Memphis, they will stop for week or
so at Blount's Springs, and if they take
the Airline Route, will give some of
the many interesting localities call in
Northeast Georgia, not caring to arrive
in the region of the Gulf until near the
time that Jack Frost puts in an appear
ance. What a glorious region Of this
world is ours Where can its like be
found? A volume could not exhaust
the description of its beauties. No WON
der it is annually thronged by tourists
and invalids, for it is, indeed, Land of

Here at Catoosa there are, in a space
of less than two acres, called the 'Magic

waters in great variety! The place is

PEACH JELLY.-For a table ornament
nothing is more elegant. Dissolve in
sufficient water one ounce of isinglass 4;
strain it, halve one dozen large peaches
and pare them; make syrup of one
pound of fruit sugar and half a pint of
water. Into this put the peaches and
kernels; boil gently for for fifteen min
utes, then place the fruit on a plate and
cook the syrup ten minutes longer; add
to it the juice of three lemons and the
isinglass. A pyramid mould is very
pretty for this. Fill part full of jelly,
and when set, put in one-quarter of the
the peaches. Place on ice and let it
harden; add more jelly, harden, ETC.,
until full. Let the base of the mound
be Jelly.
