THE EAGLE TOWER,
"Neu," said Mr. Blair, the teacher, to one of his bovs one afternoon, when school was over, 'Hell your father that I shall walk out to see him after tea this cvemug. "Very well sir," said Ned, looking leased; "and then you will sec BrightKye, before he goes away' "What !' said Mr. Blain, "is vour lather parting with Bright-Eye V "Yes, sir; a gentleman fancied him, and offered a good price for him. But you know, sir, there will still be the Duchess for you to got a ride on when you want to go anyw IV. "Thank you; Ned," said the teacher, trailing; and Ned set off swinging his bag of books. Ned's lather. Mr. Elliott, had a farm about two miles from the village, and Mr Blair who wa-. a favorite of both parents and scholars, often strolled out in an evening to have a chat with the farmer, and enjoy the froth country air. On this evening, when near the farmhouse, he saw Mr. Elliott ftt'iikling on the doorstep talkit." Trlth the groom who had come lor the horse; and just as Mr. Blair joined them Ned c;iu:e round the corner of the house with Peter the stable bov, aud led Brichttvc by tho Lridlc, "A fine evening, Mr. Blair," said the; farmer," I am g.d to see you, sir. Here Ned," lie continued, "go and a:-k your mother fur a dram fur Mr. Jones here." Ned glanced half tmillug at 3Ir. Blair, but he ran into the house rnd miieklv re1 V turucu vitn a rjoitlo and glass. I lie glass ..... . . . ' j ;as liih'.-J i'v.d jiuiKted round. 31 r. hiliott, the ruom, and even Ned jiartook, but when it was offered to the stable boy he i i uedllicu. I "Hallo, Peter," said Ned, "that's up I ' ' ' 1 noW . i doming, saia i'etcr. -only lu-nctj ; -i.Ing to tlriiik any inoro whisky." j "J'c;t me, sani ed. "to hear you speak, nnytn,dy might think you were a 'urcat Irinkci."- ' "1 don't want to be one, said lYUr. ; um enou 10 Mtpn ou were W-iU-j ning to like it too well." ! "Fin not wiiiir to tr." said Peter. : stoutly; and they both turned to give a " 5 ! p.triihg pat to Bright-1, e. Mr lilair heurd iiiis conversation be twecn the bov.-;. while Mr. Elliott talked ' ! v.:th tlie trroom; but when at last the i - old castle, a few ni'les from the village ! It was wr.s a beautiful place, aud a favorSite resort for picnics and pleasure parties. lloniid an old tower of this castle, at a ,rrcut hei-rht, ran a projecting ledge about .. '., . , , , i lT,' lrct Vi'ide. 1 his ledge could be reachcd bv a win low leading from an old stairca.c within, and it had sor-utimes been a boast of the village lads to walk, up the crumbling stair and round the eagle tower; but two fatal accidents within a very .hört time had led all but the most fool hardy to give up so dangerous a sport. Nod Klliottwas therefore much astonished when his teacher, tapping him on the shoulder, said quietly, 'Come, Ned, let u.i see who will be first round tha EaIc Twer." "Up high there, Kir, do you mean?" said N'ed, with wide open oyes. 'Ycs, to be sure. Come. "Hut arc you sure, sir ? Isn't it dansrerous V Dangerous ! Why should it be ?" "JJecausc, sir, sir," said Xed, glancing up at the dizzy Lcight'mightn't we fall?" "Oh, nonsense! Hverbody doesn't fall that goes round. Mauy an one does it ijuito safely." "Yes sir," said tho won leriug Ned, "but then vm might not, you know. Jim Carter thought he could do it first rate, pud he fell; and it i.s uot long fcincc Harry Nelson was killed too.' "Two more fools, they," said Mr. lilair. "Why didn't they stop and go back when they began to grow giddy V and he drew Ned towards tho foot of the broken stairs. Ned, now in serious alarm, began to wonder if his teacher had suddenly gone mad, and looked round to se if any of his companions were in sight, when Mr. Ilair turning to him with a tsmilo, said, "Why should you bo afraid to try the Eagle Tower, when I aw you just last week, braving a much greater danger?" "What do vou mean, sir," said Ned 1 "Why should you think it madness to go up tcrc because you know of two or three persons who have lost their lives by
doiug so, and yet.tliink that you and Peter might safely brave the danger by which two or three, but hundreds and thousands are continually perishing? Dram drink
ing, Ned, seems to wc like the Eagle! Tower. Some may make the venture and come off with safety, though none with profit; but many fall headlong and perish; and it is too laic to think of turning when the head begins to swim. Be as wise in the one case as in the other, my boy, and keep on the safe ground." Ned went home thoughtful, had a lung talk with Peter, and within a month was enrolled as an abstainer. The Adviser.

Great Coal Oil Excitement in vat wloid county. The coal oil excitement in Crawford county, Indiana, contiuues to increase, and operators in that section already see fortunes in the future from the abundance ol this great article of commerce which seems destined at no distant day to supplant every other article for the purposes ol light and lubrication. Some ten or twelve wells are now beinjr ! , . i . ,T , . , . . sunk by the aid ol steam machinery, and Ä .i , , . , " ., a gentleman who arrived on 1 rzouy irom Leavenworth, informs us thrt "oil was struck,, in one of them on the day previous, which was llowing most copiously. Parties are daily arriving at the localitv where these wells are being sunk, from the celebrated oil regions of Penn.sylvaua. and all atrree that the nrosneets for oil in the reaioa now b. in- worked are excellout. Wc may soon expect to sec Crawford county settled bv a dense ijoiralation and jits wealth increasing with a rapidity uu- . w r r rivalled iu tjic history of our state. Lands in the oil regions arc selling with astonishing rapidity, aud men of capital aud enterprise will soon occupy them and develop their hidden resources of wealth. It is not doubted by men well posted in the characteristics and "siirns ot oil Learinc i.inäs thät petroleum will be (bund in im-! inonsc quantities in most localities in I Crawford county. The excitement iu regard to the discoveries being daily made! is very great aud Leavenworth we understand, is filled with persons trom abroad anxious to invest in lands. N. A. Ledg- . As a matter of general interest we reprut i nee the propositions which it is stated the peace 'mm iision have been authorized to make 3rci?ident Divis, as General (jraut styles him. throe in number, each and ad of which are said to be final 1. Amnesty to all. without rewrd to! ;.ge, rex, or position, an ! irrespective 0fj f' ' " ' what he rr they may have done since the ! war boiran. This includes all the rebel j civil aud military oCcials frjia Jeff. Davis i civil ai j down. 2. The constitution as it is and the union ar; it was. Of course some radical I changes in both the union and the constiThe total abolition of slavery. From this point the president will not retract one iota: He dues not insist upon the immediate abolition of slavery r but he does insist that such measures be taken by the southern states as will secure its extinction vithiu a reasonable lenglii of time. This is a sine qua non of the restoration of peace. - Oiling Tools. I shall do your patrons good service if I can induce all who do not, to use pnintter's (linseed) oil on their i!.;. Every farmer should have a can of oil and brush on hand, and whenever he buys a new tool, soak it well with the oil and dry it in by the fire or in the sun, before using. The wood by this treatment is toughened and strengthened, and rendered impervious to water. Wet a new hay rake and dry it, aud it will beg'n to be loose iu the joints. If well ciled, the water will have but slight, effect upon it. .Shovels and forks are preserved from checking and cracking in the top of the handle by oiling. The wood becomes smooth as glass by use, and is far less liable to blister the hand when long used. Axe and hammer handles often break off where the wood enters the iron. This part particularly should be toughened with oil, to secure durability. Oiling the wood in the eye of the axe, will prevent its swelling and shrinking, and sometimes getting loose. The tools ou a large farm cost a large sum of money. They should be of the most improved kinds. It is poor economy at tho preseut extravagant prices for labor, to set men to work with ordinary old fashioned implements. Liborcrs should be required to return their tools to the convenient place provided for them, after using. They should be put aw ay cleau and bright.- The mould board of l.lu vs are apt to iret ruty from one season to another, even if sheltered. They should bo brushed over with a few drops of oil when put away, and . will then rejnain in good order till wanted. Mass. nowrnan.
ALL SORTS CF ITEMS. IIiuii Pbicks in a Gold Region. Prices at Benver beat those at Richmond, "all hallow." Coal and wood arc SG0; butter $1 ,G0, apples $20, and other tLings in proportion. These charges are in no depreciated currency, but in hard money. We should think there was a chance for somebody to starve in that locality, before spring. Starving in the midst of gold ! Valuation of San Francisco. The Sau Fraucisco Bulletin savs: 'Durinjr the last three vears, which have been the most trying of the transition period, the assessed valuation of this city has increased from 147,000,000, in round numbers, to $177,000.000, showing an average gain of SlO.l'00,000, per annum, in spite of Washoe and draught. The increase in one year alone, from 1S2 to 1803, was about fourteen millions of dollars."
Jkws. There are nov in the world about 7,000.000 Jews. About half that number are in Kuropo. Russia alone comprises L200:000. It U remarkable that in tuglanu, l aance and IJeljrium, . , -r . , . , wnere nie jewisn race is completely emancipated, tlie number is dioiinisbing, while it is increasing elsewhere. At Frankfort-on-the-Main, there is one Jew to every sixteen Christiaus. In France there are b0,000 Jews, in Kngland ! -10,000 The Loss of Spkok. The Jwrnal oj Commerce says that the country is loosing largely in gold. Since the first dajof January, 18G1, up to Becember 1st, there have been received at New York in speeie, 822,809.524, aud during j j the same time from foreign ports, S3, 070.27;" total $2f iS.TDO. Arain-;t this there have been exported to forciiru - i . j ports, 03,454.010. Thus the loss at the port of New York alone forthat period reaches the very large figures of S3G,8G5.-! 811. No other port, it is stated, shews j any gain between imports and exports. j Iu California there is undoubtedly a small!

Pen Wade, of Ohio, is spoiling for a 'words "the Republic of." He said there were two Governments in Mexico, and we eouid recognize none but tho Republic." We iiad nothing to Jo with the "Empire." What will Mrs. Grundy say Mr. Follard, the Southern historian of ! the war, who, after being released from Fort W. i rcn, and on his way i the South, was again picked up by Gen. Butler, has since the General's dismissal, again been set at liberty, and is on his way to his home. A L;,al Lcnguer, named M. G. Allen, one of the shoddy officers at the Custom House in IMiilagelphia, has been arrested on a charge of stealing eighty thousand dollars of the public funds. Some mouths ago he stole 'is. or eight thousand dallars. lie was a rreat howler for war ! Avar ! Rut it is all right.
