The Senate of the United States
respectfully take leave, sir, to express
to you their deep regret for the loss
their country has sustained IN the
death of General George Washing

our fellow-citizens, must be peculiarly
heavy to YOU, who have so long been
associated with him in deeds of pat
riotism. Permit us, sir, 70 mingie our
tears with yours: on this occasion IT
is manly 10 weep. To lose such a
man at such a crisis, is no common
calamity to the world: our country
uourns her Father. The Almighty
disposer of human events has taken
from us our greatest Beneractor and
ornament. 1t becomes us to SUBMIT
,y;th reverence to him, who "maketh
darkness his Pavilion"
With Patriotic pride we review the

The life Of our WASHINGTON
cannot suffer by comparison with those
Of other countries, who have been
most celebrated and exalted by Fame.
The attributes and decorations Oh
Royalty, could only have served TO
eclipse the Majesty of those virtues
which made him, from being mod
est citizen, more resplendent ium-
nary. Misfortune, had he lived,
could hearafter have sulhed his glory
only with those superficial minds, who,
believing that characters ana dcfaoas
are marked BIZ success alone, rarely de-
serve to enjoy it. Malice could never
blast his honor, and Ency made HIM
singular exception to her universal
rule. For himself he had lived enough
to life and glory. For his fellow citi-
Gems, if their prayers could have been
answered, he would have been immor-
tai. For me his departure is a most
unfortunate moment. Trusting, how
ever. in the wise and righteous do
minions of Providence over passions
Of men. and the result of their coun-
ellis and actions, as we'll as over their
lives, nothing remains for me but
HUMBLE RESIGNATION.
His example is now complete, and
| it will teach wisdom and virtue to
Magistrates, Citizens and men, not
only in the present age, but IN future
generations, as long as our history
shall be read. If Trajan found

trusted to the Lord for the outcome.
Some young fellows slipped IN by
night and put seed in the hills, and

was the result of his faith and his

Calves.

1t is believed by many, and probably not
without reason, that If the best selections
we're nov made from our best so-called CON-
mon calves, and the selection followed up
for few generations. the result would be a
better class of animals for production and
profit than is obtained from the pure stock,
where every animal, however inferior, is
raised simply because it has pedigree. OF
course, il is understood that our common"
stock At the present time is already made
up from good blood by the careful crossing
il has had at the hands ofbreeders.
The same principles that apply to the rails
ing of ones own cows will, in measure,
apply to the raising Of ell the animals re-
auired on the farm. The steers and colts
raised at home. other things being equal,
are always to be preferred to those purchas-
ed from strangers. If one finds be has
beifer or q steer that is not likely to come
up to expectations. il can be very cheaply
fattened al three years old, and will make
the choicest Of beef for home consumption.
There is also more profit fsttening and SELL
ing them than those that have become so old
that their powers Of digestion and assimila-
ton have become greatly impaired. as is
usually the case with all old cows and old
oxen. Young beef costs the least TO grow

Family Fruit Evaporators.

Most of the farm implements in use may
be termed labor saving. The seed planter,
the mower, the rake, the Sulky pillow all be-
long to this class, while they may enable
| their owner TO do better work, than could
otherwise he done. The great incentive for
their use is to enable the owner to do his
work in the proper time with less help. But
it is the Office Of the fruit eyaporator TO take
farm product of comparatively little o. no
value and convert it into product for
which there is always a large demand at
good prices.
There is in every orchard each year much
that goes to waste which if properly cared
for, would soon pay for the evaporation. One
man las, fall told me that he made good pay
picking up the windfalls in his neighbors'
orchards, and cooperating them. One man
has told me that in taking out his grated
fruit in the winter be had thrown away APP
