for Mr.. Harrison, to spend every possible min
ute Oh the mass of business accommodating by
reason of the approaching end of Congress.
The bills are coming in upon him rapidly and
he has, undoubtedly, considerable business of
private nature to wind up. In consequence
he has made an official request that he be let
alone during this week, as it will be absolutely
necessary for him to have these six days for
uninterrupted work. In other words he will
not be at home. He will, however, continue
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in order
to give the public chance to obtain fare
well view. There is air of extreme quiet at
the White House nowadays, broken only by the
round of receptions, the last of which occurs
next Thursday night, to the public.

SELF.TORMENTORS.

Unfortunato Persons Who Cultivate the
Art Of Making Themselves Miserable.
There are few arts more assidupusly
cultivated by the human race than that Of
making themselves miserable. People who
give their minds to this melancholy branch
Of mental industry are often frighttully
successful, and many attain such proficiency
in it that they fall a sacrifice to their WI
skill. To such experts the future, which to

OF course, scores Of our readers are &C
uua,nted with individuals who understand
and practice the art of making themselves
miserable. Possibly Q few are given to
dark fo~rebodings, or have . knack Of sup
posing themselves the special targets Of
CONGREGATIONAL small-shot aimed at nobody.
II so, we advise them for their own sakes
to abandon the thankless task of anticipat

remarks to their own discomfort Sufficient

Is q noble and manly art. Cultivate it, and
leave its antithesis to moral dyspeptics.-

SOME RARE OLD BONDS.

to BE Worth 40. o In Gold.

to he Worth 40. 600 in Gold.
1t was while Judge FOlger was Secre-
tary (said IN old Treasury O~fficial.) One
| morning an old man came in to me who
was from a New England State. He
said that about twenty years ago he
found some old stocks or bonds among
the papers of an uncle mentioning his
name); he had been a man of National
reputation for ability, and had a COM
Portable fortune for those days-that is
from 1880 to 1s4OAand he had come to
the United States Treasury to find out if
they were worth any thing. as they
seemed to be United States bonds. I
looked at them. They were ten of the
''Old debt" bonds, and were indeed Curl
o~sities. They were old and yellow from
age, but were worth, principal and in
terest, in gold . 1000, for there were
ten years interest due ON, them. You
car imagine the old mans amazement
when 1 told him this. ''Why, 1 would
gladly have taken s., 600 for them" said
he, land i offered them to a Boston
banker for less than that, but he rather
superciliously and contemptuously de-
clined to buy them at any figure" I
took the old man in to see Judge Folger,
who was very much interested in the
matter when / explained it to him. He
had never seen any Of the 'told loan
securities, and after these were paid
and cancelled i believe he directed that
one of them be framed and preserved.
Well, in less than half an hours time
the old New-Englander walked out of
the building with a check in his pocket
on the New York Sub-Treasury for S70.-
600 in gold. How that smart Boston
banker must have cursed his own ignor-
ance and stupidity when he learned
what he had thrown away."-St. Louis

Mr.. EDIroR Since my last crops are
more encouraging, Corn on uplanGs is the
| best for several years, and larger than
usual area was planted. Farmers took the
advantage of planting corn and peas after
wheat and oats, and they are looking fine.
The pea is the great land renovator, and 1
think by planting peas on wheat stubble
is more beneficial to the land than .
growth Of crab grass. 1t turns the stubble
under, which pulverizes the land and maket
it easier to cultivate the next year. Think
O coat of grass does more to impoverish land
than to enrich it. That is my experience,
