SECOND DRINK. The solt;‘;,bird warbles in the shade, _ The bluejay shrilly cries, ! ' j And the cattle show their tails were made To brush off hungry flies. ; : ! : v THIRD DRINK. : A milkmaid, with sweet face and figure, - - Goes tripping away o’er the green, . | Where an ancient white man and a nigger Are ranning a threshing machine. FOURTH DRINK. ; The chickens, the turkeys, the ducks and the geese Swim ’round on lhefoud by the mill, Which is ruv by an old buffer named Pease, ~ And [- m reliably informed he runs it still. SR e DRI, , ; The inebriate son of old Pease fell in' : To the Pond-‘; and was never seen any more, But his ghost is dften observed with nﬂottle of gin, i ' And some sandwiches a bumming around the shore, | ; o SIXTH DRINK, _ Pease égot mad, and hit his hired hand a sockolager in the jaw, : Then the hired man went for :Pease with a * stick of wood, S | But Pease laid him out with a brick, and so they went to law, : e - And at last advices that’s aboat how the matter stood. e ' AN UNEXPECTED TEST. : “James, I found you and Mr. Cooper together this morning, and I entered the office I knew that my name was upon Cooper’s lips. Was it not 80 ?1’ The young bookkeeper trembled and was gilent. Thomas Landrove and Albert Cooper were partners, and sole proprietor of one of the heaviest wholesale manufacturing establishments in the West, and their business was increasing day by day. Landrove was a New Yorker by birth, and Cooper came from New Hampshire. James Worcester was a youth of nineteen, from western Massachusetts, and having gone out into a new_country, with a letter of recommendation to Landrove, from an old college mate and chum of the latter, he was at once employed; and thus far, during the space of six months, had- proved himself worthy - and well qualified. . The partners, warm-hearted, but quick and impulsive, had fallen into a misunderstanding. They had, on the previous .evening, almost come to blows ; and were now as unhappy as it were possible for two well meaning’ men to be who have both been very foolish, : ' e “Was it not 20 ?” repeated Landrove. 1 : : “It'was, sir.” ; ; '

“And what did Mr. Cooper say of me? you need not be afraid to tell me.’” ; ' James Worcester became calm and gelf-possessed, though a trifle paler than usual. He knew that Mr. Landrove had hired him—and that to him ‘he owed his success, and that to him he must look for the retaining of his situation. And yet he resolved tol be a man. : v - “Mr. Landrove. you. must excuse me.!” ; “Ah! Did he place you under the ban of secrecy ?” —p “No, sir.” ; “I'hen what did he say to you of me.” ; “I cannot tell you, sir.” “Cannot, you mean you will not ?’ “As you please, sir.” : While Landrove was silent with amazement at this deportment: on the part of the creature of his bounty, the youth proceeded : b “Mr. Landrove, as God is my judge, I'am your humble friend and obedient servant, and if I have a love more strong for one of my employers than ‘the other, that love is for you. But, gir, even to please you I cannot do a mean, unmannerly thing. Whatever ‘Mr. Cooper may have said to me, was said to me in confidence—l know he would not like that I should repeat his ‘words. I hold them as I would hold money that had been placed in my keeping.” . , Mr. Landrove swore a big oath and demanded again to know what Cooper had said of him. But Worcester *wag firm. - The manufacturer threatened to discharge him. - “] came to you with an honor untarnished, sir,”’ said James, “and if I must leave you; I wish to take the same priceless possession away. When once 1 have betrayed a trust, I can no more have conﬁydet‘lce even in mygelf.”.

“Then you flatly refuse 7'’ . “I refuse to betray the private speech of Mr. Cooper, as I would retuse to tell him, were he to ask me, what you have now said to me.”

*Very well, you may close up your accounts and pass your books over to Mr. Nickerson ; for—’> and here Mr. Landrove with . a fierce oath, swore that the reticent youth should leave on the morrow. : '

~ “I will go, gir, but O, why can I not gee you and your partner reconciled before I go? You fove him; I can swear before heaven, that no man lives whom he loves better that you.” : Landrove would not listen to any more. ¢ : .

That very night those two impulsive mén met, and their ill will was blown to the wind as quickly as it had been. éngendered. Over a hottle of wine Landrove told his interview with young Worcester. : “Of one thing I can assure you,” said Oooper, “he- loves you truly and devotedly, I know it from the words which he spoke this morning, and from the ‘tears, which erept out upon his lashes as he gave them utterance.— His refusal to repeat my words was from principle.” : ; “Ay,” cried Landrove, “and by my life, Albert, he will be wortg his Keight in gold to us. We can trust im:”? . : S

Mr. Nickerson took James Worcester’s books, as ILandrove had threatened, but it was only_that the younger one might be transferred into the inner office, or sanctum, where ‘he was inatalled as confidential agent and correspondent ; and whence, in time, he stepped forth into a share of the business. . :

[ Small Men in a City, : If you want to try a man’s statue, ‘ place him in a large city. It is surprising how New York reduces all who come into it. A man in the country is very rich if he owns a farm, ora block of village property, and has $30,000 at interest. But what is this in New York? A man may have a fiue education, and be able to deliver a_creditable Fourth of July oration. ‘He may be the village™ oracle, and it may excite public wonder that one ~small ‘head should contain so much knowledge, but let him meet with some of our city savants, and he will soon discover his utter deficiency. : New York, like other’ great cit'es, contains ‘a certain number of very -learned men, whose facilities of mental acquisition give them great advantages. Great cities, like great oceans, are the only places where great growth -is reached. Only the vast extent ot the South Sea ean produce the immense sperm whale, and only a New York can produce a V:i%;bilt_ or an Astor in wealth, or a r in Surgery, or an O’Connor in lawm - There is a great disposition among successful men in the country to move to this city. They think it is just the sphere for their abilities, whereas it generally proves the place of their ru-

Iknow a man who reasons differently, and he thereby shows his good judgment. “I am,” says he, “in this village a person of some position. Ten thousand dollars worth of property commands respect, and on a $l,OOO a year I can live as well as a man in New York on $5,000. On'this account I will stay where I am, for in New York I should be a mere nobody.” » - " Yes, everything becomes dwarfed when it comes to New York. A country merchant who sells $50,000 worth of goods in a year is doing a large business. ' Stewart retails twice that amount in a day. A dwelling house which in the country appears of re: spectakle gize will be found on measurement to be smaller than the porch of the Astor house. A country bank| with a capital of $300,000 is a large affair, but here we have several banks each with a capital of ten times that amount: On this' account it is well for those men who in the country have any stature, to stay there, for here they will become dwarfs. S AtE e—— >—— | Parepa’s ‘‘Little Man,?’ j A New York correspondeént of the Chicago Republican, writing of Parepa Rosa, says :- e | Parepa won new laurels at the festival. Every time I hear her lam impressed more and more with her superbness as a singer. I doubt if we ever had in this country a voice at once so rich.and fresh, so powerful and sweet as Parepa’s. She is always equal to the occasion, and on the recent one seemed at times to be inspir--ed. She is a particularly sunny and unassuming woman, and as candid and ingenius a 8 a child. [ I can well believe the story told about the manner of her engagement with her diminutive husband, when no one would suppose he could muster up courage enough to propose to her.

.According to her story, Parepa and Carl Rosa were going on the cars to New Haven to take part in a concert. The violinist was in a dejectéd mood, and being asked the cause told the charming singer that he had ill fortune in this country and that he was constantly losing friends, whatever he might do to retain them. “Oh, don’t grieve; cheer up, my little man,” said Parepa. «If you have lost friends:you can find others. = I'll be your friend, if youn will let me.” " “Oh, I shall be delighted. Will you indeed be my friend ?” Most certainly, and I will be your wife, too, if you wish it.” : At this juncture the small musician, who was entirely overcome with emotion, seized Parepa’s plump hand, carried it to his, lips and a moment after disappeared in the folds of her agitated wardrobe." = :

They were married a few days after, and they have been one of the happiest married couples. . Who will deny hereafter that in joining contrasts lieth love’s delight, 9

. SPAIN is evidently undergoing a religious revolution hardly less important than its political transformation is likely to prove. A Madrid dispatch of Thursday says : The Spanish press generally ridicules the proclamatign of the infallibility dogma. = Has poor old Piug come to this, that the land of the Inquisition, the home of Catholocism, par excellence, greets his pet lamb with ridicule ? ‘ Alas ! we have indeed, fallen on evil times. :

The times are as strange as they are evil. While Spain is derisive, France, infidél France, is submissive. The emperor of the French is the especial supporter of Papal pretensions. The land of Voltaire, Robespierre, the Encyclopaedistes ; of the Goddess of reason and the birth-place of Positiveism, is now the stay and protection of the Pope. Fickle and varied are the fortunes of nation. The proverbial petit jury is not more accountable. -

LOGICAL.—A little girl in Pennsylvania was lately reproved for playing out doors with boys, and informed that, being seven years old, she “was too big for that now;” but with all imaginable . innocence, she replied : “Why, grandma, the bigger we grow the better we like ’em.” Grandma took time to think. = - o

Two gentlemen were once complimenting:each other on their habits of temperance : *‘Did you ever see me with more than I could carry ?' asked the one. ‘No,’ replied the other, ‘but I have seen you when I thought you had better have gone twice after it.’ They have caged a burglar at the Syracuse jail who did business. He kept an account book and gave each man credit for the articles stolen. He informed the officer that his was the system of double entry—once into your safe and again into his books.

| How Isabella Abdicated. : The abdication of Queen Isabella was enacted at Paris with very great pomp and ceremony. So far from making a mournful business of renouncing a throne, she made a gala toilet for the’ occasion. Her Majesty. wore a rose-colored gilk dress profuaeij ornamented with white lace ; .a splendid parure of{earls, and a diamond girdle, { and with that command of countenance which seldom fails to reward long gfractice in the performance of royal unctions, put on an extremely merry look. As she took her seat irr a throne room, Don Alfonso, Prince of Austrius, ber eldest son (who is about the age of

the Prince Imperial of France) stood on ‘ber right hand simply dressed in a short black jacket and Knickerbockérs, Don Francisco d’Assie (Isabel: la’s husband) was, it seems, invited, but did not come. When every one of the company had taken the place ‘assigned by the master of ceremonies, Queen Isabella made a short speech, announcing her intention to absicate. She had been called upon to reign, she ‘said, when- in her cradle, and .had grown up amidst the turmoil of civil discord. Whether as a child, a girl, or a woman, she had always had to ‘contend with political parties and factions, and to their incessant attempts ‘to obtain power for themselves she attributed her failure to do all the good 'which she could have wished. She ‘wished, however, to avoid all recrimin fatioia% she ({)ardoned all her enemies, ,and confided her gon to the noble character of the Spanish people. She then read her abdication in these terms: ‘I, Isabella 11., etc., declare that of my own free will and mere motion, and without any foreign pressure, I cede and asgign to my son Alfonso all my political rights, reserving o(iﬂy the civ-, il rights of a mother and a guardian.’ All the personages present signed their names as witnesses to the document. Then the company, with Dowager Queen Christina at the head, kissed the Prince.of Austurius’ hand by way of doing homage, and acknowleding his sovereignty. When the ceremony was over, the youthful King of Spain, who had doubtless been considerably bored by the solemn mummery, ran up to the Duke de Sesto, and said: ‘You haven’t seen my new velocipede; come into the garden and look at it.’ : —rell O 8 { Dexter and Pocahontas. “Mr. Fawsett, who sold the king of trotters to Mr. Bonner, recently called upon the latter gentleman and offered him $50,000 for the(horse. It is hardly necessary to say that it was declined. Fawsett then asked Mr. Bonner to name a price at which he would selt him, but Mr. Bonner said that he could not name any price at which he would be willing to! part with Dexter. It will be remembered that when Mr. Bonner gave $33,000 for him we pronounced him the cheapest horse that had ever been purchased in America. In reference to young Pocahontas, we stated that Mer. Bonner has recently had two offers of $50,000 for her, and refused them. The mare is now at Fashion Course, in Dan Mace’s. stable, and she is going with the swiftness and grace of a swallow. On Thursday, June 16th, she went a mile in harness, and was timed by W. A. Sammis, of Flushing, and J. D, Walton, of New York. Her first quarter was 345., her second 335.—1m.75. to the half-mile. Her third quarter was 355., making the three-quarters of a mile in Im. and 425. She then came home in 365., which made time of the mile 2m. 18s. From Ethan Allen she has inherited faultless symetry and capital action, while there have come to her from old Pocahontas the ‘bloodlike quality, the great girth round the heart, the fine range, the strong loin and thetremendous thigh and stifle which distinguish her.— Spirit of the Times, : : . .Charles James Fox, the English statesman being once at Aseot races, with his intimate companion, General Conway, missed his snuff box. The General was lucky enough to discover the thief and seize him before he could get clear. Upon this the man fell upon his kaees, and with many tears besought Fox to pardon him, and not expose him to ruin, for he was a poor weaver in great destitution, and this was the first offense he had ever committed. ' Fox was greatly affected, and not only let the offender go, but gave him a guinea. Shortly after this, having occasion to use his box, he found no signof itin the pocket where he had replaced it, and turning to Gen. Conway said, ‘My snuff box is gone again.’ ‘Yes,” replied the latter, ‘I saw the scamp take it the second time, when you gave him the money, but T tho't 1 wouldn’t interfere again.’ !

THE LARGEST CITY.—It is commonly believed that London is the largest city in the world, but this belief is_erroneous. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, is without exception the largest ang most populous city in the world. It contains the-vast number of 1,000,000. dwellings and 5,000,000 human souls. |Many of the streets are nineteen g ypaneseries in length—twentytwo x%ﬁsh miles.

Daring one of Mr. Flecher’s early visits to Brazil, he was surpriged to find the fine ladies around him attired in heavy fars. though in the midst of fierce summer heat ; but light broke upon his mind when he learned that their fashion books came direct trom Paris, and in those revered pages it was declared to be the thing to wear sable capes and chinchilla trimmings from December to March. That they happened to 'resiis south of the equator seemed to these devoted votaries no sufficient reason for seiting at defiance the mandates of the French court.

A — ° 7 THE CHINESE QUESTION. At a meeting of the workingmen 1n the city of Rochester, a few ‘days since, the following lctter from Hon. Horatio Seymour was read : 3 > 1 : “ Urica, Avgust 4, 1870, ~ “Smr: I put off until this time my an. ~swer to your letter asking me to speak to a meeting at Rochester, upon the subject. of Chinese immigration, as . I hoped it would be in my power to do so. I am. sorry that I cannot sttend. All agree that this 18 a grave subject. It s one that must be met, and it must be met now. | Strong influences are at work to open the floodgates and pour in upon us tﬁi worst class. es of over-crowded China. They can get to our shores at less cont, and in greater nuinbers than thé people of Europe. = If: they continue to crowd in, they will overthrow the customs, civilization and religdon of the whole Pacific coast, and they will also crush down .the position of the laboring classes throughout our country., lam against this. lam not willing they should gain a foothold here. No nation in Europe would suffer such an _invgsion. If Britain, Germany or France should allow anything of the kind, their governments would be overthrown. Why should - we give up our civilization in any part of the country for that of Asia® Ay

It is sail that we want cheap labor.— We do not want cheap labor, but wellpaid labor. Int-rest as well as justice and humanity call for this. If all who labor in this country took the same wages and spent as little money as the Chinese laborer, our Government would be bankrupt, and business would shrink up. Well paid labor spends freely with the business man and fills'the national treasury by the import and duties it pays upon what it.uses. ‘This is the whole source of our financial strength as compared with other people. If labor is brought down to the Chinese standard, there will at once be a difference in the condition of classes, which will end in the overthrow of our government. - We pay higher taxes and interest than, any other people, and if the price of labor is put down to Asiaticesrates, capital” will swallow. up the earning of toil'more rapidly than was ever yet done in the history of nations. If this is to be our future, we have lost ,in vainistrife nearly a- millon lives in the late civil war. It is not the. object of the Gowernment to undersell others, to' pinch ourselves that we may pinch others. The great end of statésman: ship is too give comfort and. plenty. to each home, and to take care that labor is well paid. We should seek to give happiness to each fireside circle, and not to fill the coffers of capitalists. * ,

“It is said by some if we shut out Chi--nese immigration, we do so in the face of all our former professions. . This is not so. We invite European immigration, because #it adds-to our power and happiness. Eu--ropeans do not overthrow our customs, religion, or civilization. They do nct bring here any strange blood. It has always been our practice to shut out any immigration.that was hurtful. We send back to Europe criminals or paupers, by virtue of State and National laws. Every city and town guards against incomers who -endanger sécial order or safety. We are in no way bound to take into our public system any mischievous elements. If we believe in our religious creeds, in the form and principles of our Government, then ~we must believe that Asiatic creeds and i customs are baleful. To-day we are divi~ding the lands of the native Indians into States, counties and townships. We are driving off from their property the:game upon which they live, by railroad. . We tell them plaialy they must give up their homes and property, and live upon corners of their own territorieg beeause they are in the way of our civiliktian.‘ If we can do this, then we can keep away another form of barbarism which has no right here. o e ) #I have no doubt the Chinese have liseful qualities. They are said to be good servants, ready-to do the work of men or women, but they have not the traits that will build up on this continent a great and high-toned power. We must’ not Jjudge of those who come here by those who stay at home. 'We get only the dregs. There is but one way of dealing with this ‘matter. The policy of exclusion-must be as sharp and as vigorous as that of Massachusetts and New York against the in coming pauperism.. It must be borne in’ mind that, under the late amendments to. our National Constitution, you can give them no qualified condition ; you put upon them no political restraints, made necessary by their peculiarities. They ean grasp the rights of voting and law-mak ing, despite all State legislation. It isto be heped that this subject will be taken -up and discussed in a fair and temperate way by all classes. We must not let it drift and settle itself. Unless we are ready to give up the consequences of this new danger to the public peacg and home happiness of dur people, we must confront the problem at the onset. ! e . “Truly yours, drhtel ' <. . -4 S“HORATIO SEYMOUR. “To Elias Mapes, Recording Secretary of Workingmen’s Assembly, Rochester.”

Coincidents of Dates ana Events, In 1807 France was at war with Prussia. In 1870, which embraces the same figures reversed, there are again hostilities between them., In 1756 there was ‘also war between the same powers, in - which France sustained aiterrible defeat, Just fifty years after that event, 1806, Prussia was humiliated, yea, more than that, almost destroyed, by the disastrous double battle of Jena and Auerstadt.: In commenting upon that event the English -historian, Allison, whose sympathies were .with Prussia, says: “Such were the disastrous battles of J‘em_‘x and Auerstadt, which prostrated the strength and the Prussian monarchy, and in one day effected that 'which ‘all the might of Russia, Austria and France had been able to effect in a seven years war, from 1755 to 1763."—Curiously enough, sixty yearsifrom that ‘time, in 1806, Prussia was raised to the height of power by the extraordinary results of the battle of Sadowa. . =~

+ In 1805 the Russian-power reteived a crushing defeat in the great battle of Austerlitz, in which three Emperors were present, viz.: The Emperors of France, Russia and Austria. The forces of the two latter were united, but four-fitths of those who participated in the struggle at Austerlitz, were Russians. A half century passed away, and in 1855 the French and the Rissians were contending, for supremacy at’' Sebastopol, under’ Emperors of the smﬁe names as those who metin 1805. < ) -

i -In 1809 the French were at war with the Austrians, and entered Vienna in tri‘umpb. In 1859, at the end of a half cen‘tennial period, the same icountries were engaged in deadly contest, with even a larger number, in northérn Ttaly, 1n1799 the first Napoleon had séized, as.

‘Remember that even the demoralization of the Radical - party and the hosts of good men who will inevitably leave their ranks and vote with us, will not of themselves give us victory: TLet me say to every - one, that to - succeed we must ‘have every yote to which we are entitled.

The Radicals carried it. by several thousand votes and yet twenty thoushnd Democratic votes were not polled, and of thése not less than five hundred were in Fairfield county. .This is a shame that should not be incurred again. 'How can it be averted? = There are always, and there always will be,; men indifferent, to their political duties ; but there are others who appreciate these duties at their proper ratio-and know that anenlightened selfinterest forbids neglect of political activity. * Many of this latter’ class are here today; now ‘if only you who work in this matter, without neglect of other duties, from this day till six o'clock on the second Tuesday of October next, Fairfield county will make a record of which we will be proud, ard do much by her example, as; well as her vote, to redeem the State.

Do Farmers Study Enough ? - The subject of agriculture is one, that demands fully as much attention &t the ‘hands of the reading public as it gets.—‘lndeed, no theme presents itselt that is fraught with “more real import, so far as regards our prosperity, than the wants of the agricultural world. What we mean by attention, is a studious, careful search for the best way of accomplishing certain desired results, not a superficial investi.gation of some theory merely for the purpose of creating difference and provoking ‘discussion. The day has happily passed ‘when being a farmer Was synonymous with being a blockhead. It requires something more thah mere physical strength'to keep up with the advance of ‘the'age in farming as well as science.— Many of the systems of years.ago are no more - applicable to the demands of today than would be an ox-team to run an opposite freight line across the Plains.— The farmer who reads much, and reads that'much with care, is the one who stands in advance in intelligence and prosperity.

. Peach v Soil, A coxfresf)?)gdg;togsgls’vvéhat 18 the Dest soil for the peach crop, stating that it is a common opinion that it succeeds best on one that is light or sandy. Our own observations indicate that a strong loam, or even clay, is better than light sand,’ provided thereisa well-drained subsoil. In portions of New: Jersey 'we have observed that where the soil was light, ! the orchards generally survived but a fewyears.after beginning-$o bear ; at the same: time we have seen trees in adjoining; regions where clay predominated, that were thirty- years old and healthy, and eight ‘inches 'in diameter. A prominent reason, if we mistake not, why the light soils have been so generally preferred for peach orchards, is the better draining below commonly existed in such soils. No fruit tree except the apricot, is so sensative to wet feet as the peach ; and as many soils of & heavy character are liable, to| hold water long, below the surface,” the trees frequently perish from this cause. ~“Will our readers who have madL ‘themselves tamiliar with this sup%e.;t, please favor us with the results of their observations ® 7 i S —— ) Accessions to the Democracy.

Fenton, United States’ Senator from New York, “contemplates & withdrawal from the Republican party, with the ultimate view of uniting with the Democracy.” It also says that “if Fenton should go over to the Democracy, his fortunes would probably be shared by a considera . ble body of his Democratic associates' isi the Republican ranks.” { It gives him some encouragement to take this step and advises the Democracy not to hesitate to receive himi It says: “The simple trath, is, that if the ‘Democracy hope to elect the next President, they must enlist. Re‘publican tecruits. They must leave their doors open to all comers. They must begin somewhere and with somebody, and ‘they might as well commence by taking in Fenton.” 4 : : 7z .~ Well, let -Gov.

Humanity in War. While war has its'unavoidable horrors, it also has its better side. It is pleasant to observe the humane and magnanimous treatment of thef French prisoners by their @erman captors.

The French prisoners, as they pass throngh the railway stations, receive: nothing but kindness: ¢ Citizens and vol-, unteers give them refreshments, cigars, &c., and ladies enter the cars, and going from man to man, offer them ‘paper and pacil, and volunteer to write to theirfriends for them.” ‘ ‘ O Sure'Signs. : .
