A NEW AND TRUE GHOST STOHY. BY JAM** T. FIELDS. Come my Tavrie, Jennie, Florey, Paul end Maldie, it ’twon’t bore ye— Come and hear my new ghost story • “Certain true ” it is. and therefore Something that perhaps you’ll care for. On the rocks we’ll sit together. In this blrssed summer weather, Holding hands, the moonlight watching. With no fear of bad cold catching. Panl, you rogue, if you don't falter, You shall win a prime ‘'Gibraltar," And the girls shall hive foor others. Just as if they were our brothers. Now we’re seated, all is ready, So be silent, firm and steady. Never mind, it is no malt«r If your teeth do clash and clatter. They are wisdom teeth that chatter when a true ghost story rises, Filling us with new surptisrs. On the beach that lies before ye Is the scene of my ghost story, And it came to pass in Ju-ly, “Sure as eggs is eggs ’’ and tru-ly. Well, it really makes me shudder When I think in wbat a pudder That same night my nerves went jumping, And my heart kept loudly thumping. Deary me! let’s all sit snugger, In a general kind of h ggor, so if any sprite should bump us Wo’ll together share the rumpus. I’m a sleepless kind of feUow: Moonlight alwajs makes me mellow: And I Lise to walk when people Are as silent as a steeple Where the bell-rope has been rended Twenty years, and can’t be mended. Ho, last month, when all was stilly— Midnight, moonlight, nothing chilly From our hid top i descended, And by “Masconunio ” wended. Overh ad the star* ceased swinging: Underfoot the b acli stopped singing; Not a mollusk then was stirring; Not a fairy-puss was purring; Not a love sick periwinkle li s guitar took out to t ukle; All tho sirens, silver dripping, Into amber oaves wen sipping; Even Neptune, that old schemer, Vcntuied to become a dreamer— Everything and everyb dy Passed iuto the land of Noddy. I began to feel quite creepy, Thinking of a world so sleepy; BUII l kept on, walking, walking, Homcllnies to myself low talking, Hornet rues sotto-voce chanting Hongs like Hhelle ’s, that come haunting Ail our ire h-awakened senses With their lovely moods and tenses. Tennyson I sang and shouted; Longtellow’s brave words I spouted; Homer, with his grand einot on, llow I thundered to the ocean I All the hards seemed there assembled, As alone 1 walked and trembled. In my memories and forgeteries Never night had such et artenta; Never did tho moon shije brighter; Never did the waves dance lighter, Warmth and coolth were gently blended, hike two lovers, Triton-tended; Every breeze came in caressing, Freighted with an amorous blessing. Holitude oped every portal. Never was a lonelier mortal! HUH I trudged along, and listened Now and then, as round me glistened Hand and rock, but not a whisper Fame from any human lispor. What is that so white and tiny. Moving slowly toward the briny World bofore mo—onward gliding, Pausing, resting, tripping, sliding? Heavens! what is that baby vision, Wandering there from haunts Eiysian, Coming nearer, nearer, nearer. Growing clearer, dearer, clearer? Hoon my hair began to bristle, And I tried in v iu to whistle. Could it be a ghost invidious, Moving on with step insidious, Ilcnt oil helpless man’s destruction, Idke a vampire full of suction? Should I run?—that was tho question. Perish such u base suggestion! No! because my irubs rheumatic banished feats on land aquatic. Hhou d I boldly face the danger, And regard the little struii.er? Sure that form is nothing human Hut a pigmy fit'-ry woman I Now the figure ceases motion, • lazing o t upon the ocean. What a pair of eyes to look on! What an arm for love to hook on! Oh, wliat golden ringletH rippled! Mouth where spirits might have tippled. And becom n inebriated, Kissing oft but never sated ! PesrJy hands just left e(T waving, Pinky toes in foam beds laving, What a ravishing admixture, Gracing that infantine fixture! What impcllod me then to snatch up In my arms this ghostly catch-up, Who call toll ? I can’t determine. But I did, as if ’twere ermine, Or a hunch of purr-white roses, Ulies, or any other posies. Yes, I did; and then, good gracious! Wliat happened then ? Don’t be rapacious ! Five young listeners know th sequel; To write it out I don’t feel equal. But, if you will take your pottage Home day in our Gambrel Cottage, I’ll explain to lads and lasses What the ghost was. It surpasses, Paul sajs. mortal eomprehonslou, And quite worthy your attention.

JEREMY GREEN.

His Ail ventures in the City.

BY HATTIE E. S. CRESSY.

Jeremy Green left the potato field just a quarter before 12 by the sun, and went in to dinner. Instead of resorting to the “ weed” as a solace for weariness, he devoted his spare time to the Weekly Narrator, the only newspaper he ever took. As he was poring over its contents that eventful noon he all at once leaped about three feet in the air, and in his descent brought down his fist with such force on the table that he overturned a huge pan of soup that his mother had prepared for dinner, beside breaking a few dishes. “What is the boy about?” fairly thundered the father. He has spilt the soup, broke the blue platter, and, dear me, J don’t know what else 1” replied his mother in a calm, though vexed tone. Jeremy’s next sensation was that of an affectionate caress from the lash of an immense horse-whip. This was the first appeal for good behavior he had received from his pa in four or five years. For a moment he looked savagely at the old gentleman, and thought of his own superiority of strength, but soon quelled his pugilistic desires and sat down again to the Narrator, or rather to the advertisement that so elated him. It was a call for agents. Ten dollars a day guaranteed, etc. For particulars, Roy & Co., No. 8 Village avenue, A , N. Y., were to be consulted. Jeremy had always been confined to the farm, and, feeling tired of it, considered this a chance for him, so he resolved at once to give the business a trial. He planted potatoes all the afternoon, keeping one or two rows ahead of hie father, and milked the cows as usual that night, but the next morning before daylight, he was on the way to the city. About noon of the same day he entered the village of Smytheville, just twenty-five miles from home, feeling tired, hungry and a little disturbed in conscience. In this condition he called at Farmer Smythe’s, where he procured dinner and an invitation to remain until the following morning and rest himself. His father and Farmer Smythe once went to school together; Jeremy now profited bv it.--But we hardly think he would have tarried, so anxious was he to get to the city, only that Farmer Smythe had three very pretty girls. Heptalina, the oldest, was 18, just a year younger than himself, and so fast did their acquaintance progress that he became the owner of a card bearing her name and address before they parted. Jeremy stowed it away in his left vest pocket, feeling that the donor was, to say the least, an angel, and that he somehow or other had taken a leap into paradise. The remainder of his journey was passed in a kind of delightful trance, from which he did not thoroughly awake until he found himself in view of the city. Then his heart gave a great throb, for was he not soon to know his destiny? He never had been to the city before, and the sights were so new and startling that he was in a tremor of excitement by the time he reached the locality indicated in the

advertisement. He found the avenne a dirty one, No. 8 a dilapidated concern, and the woman at the door of very haggish appearance; but he summoned courage to inquire if a man was living there who employed agents. She replied that there was, and showed him into a small, shabbily-furnished apartment, where an oily-tongued old fellow informed him that the article to be canvassed for was a grease extractor of the greatest merit; he considered it the most marvelous discovery of the age, and the rapidity of its sale was unprecedented ; agents were making fortunes ; the article was put up in 50 cent bottles; he would be pleased to furnish Jeremy with a few dozen, appoint territory, etc. He charged agents half price, so their profits were enormous. * Jeremy told the old gentleman he would take but a dozen bottles, as he had not the means for a larger investment. The territory he would decide npon before he left. The old gentleman hinted to Jeremy that it might be as well for him to begin to canvass in some small country place, as he was, well, a little verdant. Jeremy’s temper rose slightly, but he made no reply, for who wants to be told he is “green,” even if he knows he is? . After hinting this, the oH gentleman left the room to get the bottles in readiness for Jeremy. He had no sooner gone than a girl of 12 or 13 entered the room by another door. Coming close to Jeremy, she whispered, “Are you going to be an agent for the grease extractor?” Jeremy replied that he was intending to be. “ Well, now; if you will never tell the old man nor woman, I’ll tell you where you can look through a keyhole and see him prepare it,” she said, adding that she knew he would not think it wroDg when he knew the cheat there was about it. She then directed him to the door where he could see the article prepared. In the fir'-.t place, the professor, as the girl sneeringly called him, took a bar of common bar soap, immersed it in a pail of water, shook the pail, and then filled, corked and sealed the bottle. “ That soap,” said the girl, “he buys in quantities of a soap maker in the country. It is good soap for washing clothes; but will no more remove grease spots than any other common soap. An agent never goes with it but once. But by advertising he makes fools of a good many, and considerable money out' of it.” “Do you tell everybody that comes the same you have me?” asked Jeremy. “ No, I don’t often get a chance,” she replied; “you see, the old woman just went out, or I should not have got in here. I mean to get away from them pretty soon, as soon as I can get another place. They both drink and abuse me shamefully.” Jeremy did not stop to hear more, but took his hat and ran into the street, went at such a. pace until be was out of sight of the house that a policeman on the coiner had a great notion of arresting him on suspicion of some crime.

He never beard what the professor of the grease-extr ctor thought of his conduct. Dear, good Jeremy; he felt he was too honest a fellow to peddle soapsuds at 50 cents a half-pint bottle, even if his dreams of wealth were all dispelled in a moment. He, of course, felt a pang of disappointment, and resolved to return home again, after making a tour of the city. So he wandered up and down the streets, looking into shop windows and up at the gold-lettered signs and placards, till sundown. Then he entered a bakery, invested 4 cents in biscuits, which h 6 speedily devoured, and inquired for a place where he would be apt to get a night’s lodging. A snappisn woman behind the counter advised him to go to the Montrose House, across the way. Proceeding thither, he stalked into the doorway, as he imagined a millionaire would, and asked the clerk, “ How much will aou ask to keep me here to-night V” A little, slick-haired, dandy-looking fellow, whom Jeremy already had his eyes on as a pickpocket, or somebody of about that stamp, stood by, saying, “Aw, how green,” etc. Jeremy stood it as long as he could, until the clerk told him his lodging would be 75 cents; then, turning upon the dandy a disdainlul look, offered to lick him for just 2 cents. The clerk immediately informed Jeremy that no fighting was allowed in the house, but if he wished to indulge in that recreation, he might as well go to the Porter House, just a block away. Suddenly taking the hint, Jeremy went as directed. Meeting at the door an object that he took either for the proprietor or a whis-ky-barrel, he abruptly inquired: “ Keep a fellow here to-night wlio is ready .to fight any city dandy who dares to insult him ?” “Well, yes; them’s just the kind. Here, Jim, show him to loom 26,” was the reply. In ten minutes Jeremy was in bed and asleep. Half an hour later he was awake, and bade fair to remain so. An attack from those venomous insects vulgarly termed bed-bugs required his wakeful attention. They were apparently so numerous that, unless hasty and vigilant means were resorted to, Jeremy felt he must be annihilated. Thus he fought in goed earnest. All night long the siege lasted. The slaughter was terrible. The number of the slain amounted to about 9,070, according to Jeremy’s estimate. The gory sheets were a sight to behold. Musing upon his conquest in the morning, Jeremy concluded he had well earned his night’s lodging. So he dressed himself, crept softly down the stairway, whisked out the door, and scampered down the street without settling his bill. About 10 o’clock, as he was sauntering up Arlington avenue, a heavy hand grasped his shoulder, a pair of handcuffs were thrust on his wrists, and a voice, loud enough to arouse the seven sleepers, exclaimed: “You are my prisoner.” “ Prisoners must be scarce,” replied Jeremy, “since a simple country lad like me cannot walk the streets without being arrested.” “Perhaps it is more of an offense than you think to leave a hotel without paying your bill,” the officer replied, marching Jeremy along to the lock-up. After reaching that vile abode, which appeared to be filled with profane, drunken wretches, poor Jeremy began to think his father’s potato field was a more becoming place for him. But he was compelled to remain thero until the next day, when he was taken to the Police Court. The case was the first on the docket, and to Jeremy’s great relief shortly disposed of. After a little parley by the lawyers, the prisoner was allowed to plead his own case, and the following was the sum and substance of his speech: “ Gentlemen, I suppose I committed a great mistake by net paying my bill at the Porter House. But when I relate the sufferings I endured that night, and you realize my hair-breadth escape, you must admit I am the aggrieved party. No soldier on the battle-field ever fought for his life as I fought for mine between the hours of 8 in the evening and 6 in the morning, utterly annihilating between nine and ten thousand of the longest-billed, ravenous insects,-which country people innocently call bed-bugs, that I ever encountered. Oh, it was a hard night’s work. I would rather have hoed potatoes three days (laughter), and I thought I earned my night’s lodging, and that the proprietor of the hotel would think I did him a great favor, So

I left the house as quietly as possible, feeling I had done my duty, hoping the next weary traveler, who occupied No. 26, would not meet with so hearty a reception as fell to me. Gentlemen, the affection those insects manifest for mankind is indeed marvelous, and I find in my case that their demonstrations are very exhausting to one’s vitality.” Everyone in the court-room was convulsed witjp laughter as the prisoner now sat down, apparently from sheer weariness, wiping his eyes with his coat sleeves. He was released by paying $1 and cost, which took the last penny he had. In a few hours he left the city, shaking the dust from his No. 11 bovinehide boots, convinced that the country was the place for him. The following night he slept in a barn twelve miles from the city, suffering much from the cravings of hunger, and was hotly pursued the next morning about daylight by the proprietress of the place, with an uplifted broom, and the fiercest imprecations. She allowed no tramps on her premises over night, and the next time he came that way he had better not call. Jeremy assured her he would not. We think he would haye been quite disheartened at the continuance of illlnck only that he was but a few miles from Farmer Smythe’s, a paradise he hoped to reach, even in his enfeebled condition, at noon, and he was not disappointed in his calculations. At 12 precisely, that day, he dined off a luscious dish of ham and eggs, with the Smythe family. To them he related the story of his adventures in the city, not even omitting the disagreeable details of his encounter at the Porter House, incarceration at the lockup, etc. ‘ Heptalina was more affected and interested at the recital than eitner of the others, and wept and laughed alternately, her sympathies all with Jeremy. “Well, Jeremy, you have found a good haven at Last. I will be glad to have you with me as long as you can content y ourselfj and will pay yon for helping me on the farm, my work being a little behindhand.” This Farmer Smythe said, patting his young friend on the shoulder in a very friendly way. Jeremy said he would remain a week or two and then return home, as no doubt his parents were anxious about him.. At the end of a month Jeremy started homeward, with his great heart overflowing with happiness. He and Heptalina had made a contract for life. Just one month from then she would become his bride. He was not long walking the twentyfive miles, and as soon as he was in sight of the old homestead his father and mother both hastened to meet him, and rain tears of love on his neck. Jeremy was reminded of the account given of the Prodigal Son, still was aware that their cases varied, as he had not wasted much in riotous living. Nor was the fatted calf killed, although the joy of those parents’ hearts was great at his return, for Jeremy had been a good, obedient boy, and was all their dependence. He could not gather courage, at first, to tell them of his engagement to Heptalina, but when he did he was told by them both that the old house should be enlarged, and that they would all live and die in the same place. Thus Jeremy resumed his labor ou the old farm, never leaving it again to secure an agency. After haying he brought home his bride, and all went “merry as a marriage bell.” Pittsfield, Mass.

Historical Position of Palestine.

The position of Palestine on the map of the world has fitted it and its successive peoples for a remarkable place in history. Here is a little country, with only 8,000 square miles, or 2,000 less than our State of Vermont, which, if we measure it by the scope of its history, the remote antiquity of its literature, and the great forces it has-started into irresistible movement, we must place among the foremost in the ancient family of nations. It is practically the meeting-place of three continents —Africa, Asia, and Europ3. If Belgium is.the “cock-pit of Europe,” w.ere many of the chief battles of modern times have been fought, Palestine holds the same relation to the an* cient world. Her plain of Esdraelon nas been the battle-ground of nations aDd civilizations from Abraham’s day to Napoleon Bonaparte’s. This little country was the pathway of the nations on land, while on the sea it was her Phoenicia which planted colonies all around the shores of the Mediterranean, created Carthage, rival of Borne, and dared to send her*hips as far north as Britain. . There is something, too, akin to magnetism in this wonderful little land. It gave a certain measure of historical importance, and, indeed, of immortality to every people and land it touched. Take from our knowledge of Egyptian history all we have learned from the Mosaic narrative, and there will be a marvelous diminution of the fund. It is only where Assyria in an early day came into relations with Syria that we get something of a definite knowledge of that great Oriental power. We find Bawunson, in his “ Five Monarchies,” and’ Wilkinson, in his “ Manners and Customs of the Egyptians,” constantly appealing to and leaning on the scripture history, iu order to treat the subject in hand in consecutive form. It is Palestine that brings all great ancient countries within our vision. It is our best telescope for a view of the remote past. We read the fortunes of other peoples through her. Of right she did not possess the Greek language. It was foisted upon her through Alexander’s conquest, and yet so carefully did she learn the new tongue that it became the receptacle for the new faith from Him of Nazareth, and the medium of its communication to the remotest shores known to men. Palestine long resisted Borne, and finally suffered destruction through Titus. Her acres and faith were bartered like a piece of merchandise, and were, in turn, owned by Canaanite, Jew, Assyrian, Greek, Syrian, Maccabsean and Boman. But in three centuries we find Bethlehem supplanting Borne, Christianity held the scepter on the Seven Hills, and paganism became a thing of the country village, or pagus. — Harper's Magazine.

The Chicago Stock Yards.

In a report on the treatment of live stock on the railways, made by Mr. Zadok Street, to the American Humane Association, at its recent meeting, we find the following facts relative to the great Stock Yards at Chicago. These are the most extensive in America, probably in the world. They have 1,000 cattle pens, 1,200 hog and sheep pens, and stabling for 1,200 horses. Fifteen hundred cars of stock can be unloaded and cared for daily. The system of railroads extending into different parts of the Western States, thousands of miles, center there. They occupy 350 acres of land and cost nearly $5,000,000. Their repairs cost about $150,000 annually, and it requires 700 men • constantly employed in and about the yards to do the work required. They will accommodate about 10,000 cattle, 120,000 hogs, 5,000 sheep and 1,000 horses at one' time. The pens for hogs and sheep are covered; those for cattle are not covered.

FARM NOTES.

Wheat is king. Keep sweet potatoes dry and in a uniform temperature above freezing. The tobacco crop of the Connecticut valley is reported greater than in any year since 1864. It is said that very fine coal ashes mixed with linseed oil make a.very fair cheap paint. Mb. Meehan remarks that if the seed of cabbage be sown as soon as ripe, or at that time of year when it naturally ripens, instead of plants, making solid heads, they will bolt and run to seed. The American Miller says: “There is no such thing as the shifting of the wheat belt, only in so far as the 6xhaustion of the soil renders such a shifting a necessity. Any acre of land will raise wheat forever if its capabilities are not taxed too much.” W. A. Abmstbono says: “I have used a fence of three wires as a line fence between two pastures, cattle ahd horses running on each side, with great satisfaction and with the least possible amount of trouble and repairs. The barbed wire has solved the question of fence for the West.”

A fabmeb in Bangor, Me., noticing that wheat was being picked from the heads of standing grain, and finding flocks of yellow birds flying about, shot some of them. On opening their crops, he found only three grains of wheat, and, by actual count, 350 weevils It is better that farmers know whether they kill friends or foes. It is mentioned as a result of the agricultural depression in England that 830 aores of freehold land were recently sold in Berkshire for $33,500. The rent of the farm was formerly $2,750, out of which $1,250 had to be paid in tithes and land tax. For the last three years the rent has been only $1,250, leaving the landlord only $350 over tithes and tax. A Potato Contest.— The New England Farmer tells of a potato contest instigated by the members of the Franklin Farmers’ Club of Massachusetts. The contest was confined to one square rod of ground, and the competitor who should win was entitled to the product of all the other competing rods. Competitors were required to plant from the same lot of seed, the Early Bose being selected as the sort to be planted. Of the eleven competitors, Mr. A. W. Cheever, the agricultural editor of the good journal from which we make these notes, produced the largest yield. The land on which he grew the trial lot had been under cultivation several years, chiefly under forage crops. Soil, a heavy loam, quite moist early in the season. It was plowed but once this year, a light coating of stable mannre being turned in about seven inches deep. Bows were marked out about eighteen inches apart. Before planting, about 800 pounds of guano and 400 pounds of sulphate of potash per acre, were spread broadcast over the furrows. The seed was exposed several days to a strong . light to start the sprouts into a short, healthy growth. When ready to plant, single eyes were cut from the potatoes, selecting only those which were well started and of good strong appearance. Most of the eyes were cut from the stem end or middle of the potato, where a good bit of the potato could be taken out with each eye. Then they were laid in a basket, with plaster dusted over them, to cover the cut surface and give protection to the sprouts while being handled. The pieces were dropped singly, about fourteen inches apart. The sets were covered not oyer an inch deep. When the shoots broke through, the plot was dusted over with guano at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, and raked into the soil with a garden rake, killing at the same time all the small weeds which had started. As the potatoes were so near the surface, and so thickly planted, it was found impracticable to hill them in the ordinary way, so the I ground was mulched with chopped I straw Kr a protection, not only against | weeds, but to keep the new potatoes I from being sunburnt as they showed themselves above the surface. The mulch also, in a measure, secured a cool, moist soil during the hot, dry weather of midsummer. The straw was put on some three inches deep, but soon settled to one inch, and was then covered with a second coat of mulch which remained undisturbed till digging time. To keep the bugs in check, a sprinkling of dry plaster was used three or four times, with just enough of Bans green to shade the plaster, giving it a slight greenish tinge. A very few # weeds were pulled by hand during the season of growth, but it was the aim to travel over the patch just as little as possible, as the plants covered nearly the whole surface. The yield per rod was 183 pounds, equal to a yield of 488 bushels per acre. The most important lesson which Mr. Cheever learned by the experiment is that potatoes must have room to grow under ground, or the yield will be diminished and the quality impaired. He would never plant so near the surface again, and with an equally favorable season should expect to do better another year.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

Baked Tomatoes. —Take off stalks, cut in thick; slices add pepper, salt, and butter; put in deep baking dish; cover with bread crumbs and a little oiled butter;*bake half an hour. White Mountain C ake. —One pound cf flour, one of sugar, and a half a cup of butter; six eggs beaten separately, one cup of sweet milk, a teasoonful of soda, and two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar. Flavor to the taste, and use fruit if desired. Rice Griddle Cakes. —One cup cold boiled rice, one pint flour, one teaspoonful salt, two eggs bea'en very light, milk to make a tolerably thick batter. Beat all together well, and bake. Chicken Dressed with Tomatoes.— Fry the chicken a light brown, put it into a dish; then pour into the pan in which it was fried one quart of boiling water, one onion chopped fine with parsley, four tomatoes a little stewed, one table-spoonful of butter rolled in one table spoonful of flour. Let it stew for fifteen minutes, and then pour it upon the fried chicken, and serve. This recipe is for two large chickens. To Renovate a Black Chip Hat.— Add to one pint cold water teaspoonful spirits of ammonia; use with a soft tooth or nail-brush; when clean, rinse with cold water and place in sun to dry. Do not soak or scrub sufficiently to destroy the shape. It will look as good as new. Beefsteak with Tomato Sauce.— Take one and a half dezen ripe tomatoes ; skin and scald them; put them in a saucepan, with one-half pint of good beef gravy; season with salt and pepper, and put them to stew for one hour. When the steak is nicely broiled, pour this sauce upon it, and send it to the table. To Destroy Angle-Worms.—Angle-worms at the root ot plants e*.n be made to come to the surface by inserting a fine hair-pin or darning-needle into the mold, and then pouring limewater upon the soil. This will be found to be good for the health of the plants also, and will keep the foliage fresh and green. Apply once a week Wheat Bread.—Boil or bake three potatoes and mash fine. Soak a yeast-

cake and add to the potatoes when cool enough. Add two teaspoonfuls of salt; let it stand three or four hours; then add water enough for two loaves of bread. Stir in flour until very stiff; let it stand over night. In the morning add half a tea spoonful of soda dissolved in water, and butter the size of a walnut. Knead thoroughly, and then let it raise very light, and put in bread-pans without farther kneading. Let if raise quickly to twice its bulk when put in the pans. Potato Yeast. —Boil six good-sized potatoes; in two quarts of water till done; then take four table-spoonfuls of flour and two of sugar, and work them together with the potatoes and a little of the water until perfectly' smooth, taking care to keep the remainder of the water on the stove until needed; when sufficiently mashed, add the rest of the water, and, after stirring together, pnt through a colander to prevent any lamps in the yeast; when about lukewarm, add a little stock yeast, and set in a warm place for about half a day, and ft will be sufficiently raised to put in cans or jars in a cool place.

Encouragement from the Past.

The manuscript diary of Mr. Henry R. Storrs, a member of Congress from Central New York fifty years ago, has been deposited with the Historical Society of Buffalo. Like the diary of every active public man of intelligence, it speaks with great bitterness of the corruption and narrowness of politics and the wrath of party spirit. During the session of Copgress of 1827, Mr. Storrs says that all the leading men of the opposition refused to attend Mrs. Clay’s parties or to call at Mr. Clay’s, who was then Secretary of State. He records at about the same time that Mr. Mr. , in the House, and that they were separated by the by-standers. He groans that strangers would think us a nation of blackguards, if they could see the performances of Congress. Mr. Storrs was a Federalist, and he and his friends thpught that the coming of Jackson was the end of all things, as Fisher Ames and the Essex Junto thought of the coming of Jefferson nearly thirty years before. In the same way Lord Eldon and his associates lamented the Reform act in England, and Lord St. Vincent regarded the abolition of slavery in the West Indies as the overthrow of the bulwarks of English liberty. If anybody finds his political faith wavering, let him read a little -history. If he thinks that we are sweeping rapidly along the broad road of destruction, let him take heart as ho observes that other people have been in a very much worse plight, yet have not been overwhelmed. It is not a mere happy-go-lucky philosophy which- assures a man that a great self-governing community, mainly of the English race and traditions, cannot easily be ruined. It ought not, certainly, to teach him indifference, nor tend to foster the complacent faith that Providence takes especial care of children, drunkards and the United States. But it should keep his cheerfulnees in good repair, and enable him to see how much of party fervor is Pickwickian.— Harper's Magazine.

A Cliurch-Going Horse.

We have been told of many intelligent mules and horses. One case we remember of a mule going into a blacksmith shop to have a nail pulled from his foot is only equaled by a story of a religious horse that we were told of yesterday. He is owned by Mr. Alexander, of Oswichee, Ala., who rides him to church on preaching days, which is twice a month. On other Sundays he is turned out to graze, and it is on these days he is so religious. He goes down 'to church, stops at the tree where he is generally tied wnen there is preaching, and, with his head toward the church, remains about an hour and a half. He then walks leisurely home. This is a fact, and will be vouched for by any of the people of Oswichee. —Columbus ( Ga.) Enquirer.

The Best Way to Cheer Up,

If you are a despondent invalid, is to grow stronger. This you can do if you will take a piece of advice which has the weight of high medical authority to baok it. That is to use the standard invigorant, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, specially commended and indorsed by physicians. Among the bodily troubles which it overcomes are dyspepsia, irregularity of the bowels, liver complaint, general debility and nervous complaints. It is also found very useful in counteracting a tendency to weakness or disorder of the kidneys and bladder, and persons troubled with rheumatism strongly indorse it as a remedy. Its influence upon the entire system is highly beneficial, promoting, as it does, the return of sleep and apnetite, and the acquisition of flesh and strength.’ A silent reproor of the folly of nauseous drug medication is conveyed in the success of this pleasant and effective botanical medicine.

Tbe Grant Reception at Chicago
