The loved and lost! Why Jo tve call them lost ? Beenuse wo miss them from our onward rond? God’s unseen angel o’er our pathwny crust. Looked on us nil, :\nu Lying them the most, Stiaightwny relieved them from life’s weary load. They are not lost; they are within tho door That.shuts out loss, and every hurtful thing— With angels bright, and loved ones gone before, In their Redeemer’s presence ever more, And God himsell their Lord, and .Judge and King. And this \te call a loss! 0! selfish sorrow Os selfish hearts 1 Owe of little faith ! Let us look rpuml some argument to borrow Why wo in patience should await the*inurrow That surely must succeed this night of death. Aye ! look upon this dreary desert path, The thorns and thistles whereso’er we turn : What trials and what tears, wlmt wiOngs and wrath, What struggles and what strife the journey hath ; They have escaped from these and Io ! we mourn. A poor wayfarer leading hy the hand A liillfl child, had halted by the well To wash from off his feet tiie shining suud, And tell the tired hov of that bright land Whore.kiiis lon* journey past, they longcd.to dwell; When lo! the Lord who many mansion, had, Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain, Then pitying, spake, “give me the little lad ; In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad, I’ll bring him with me when I cmnoagain.” Did she make answer, selfi. hly and wrong— -11 Nay, hut the woes I feel he too must share ?’’ Or rather, bursting into grateful pong, She went her way rejoicing.md made strong, To struggle on since he was freed from care. We will do likewise. Death hath niude no breach In love and sympathy, in hope and trust; No outward signs or sounds our ear can reach But there’s an inward, spiritual speech, That greets us still though mortal tongues he dust. It bids us do the work tlm: they laid down— Take up the song where they broke of the strain ; So journeying til! we reach the heavenly town, Where arc laid up our treasures and our crown, And pur lost bued ones will he found again. - •• -.<£>»- .. -Uon’t Crowd. Don't crowd ; this world Is broad enough For you ns well as me ; The doors of art are open wide— . Tiie realm of lluuu'.t is fre« ; Os ail e ifth-V places, yqii are light To choose the best you can, PfovM'etl that you do net try To erov, and soine other man. What matter though you scarce can count Your piles of golden ore; V.Tdlc he ean hardly strive to keep Gaunt finline from his door? Os willing hands and honest heart Alone should man he proud; Then give him all the room he needs, And never try to crowd. _ ~ Go.m Ain u r..—A Mississippi editor having given notice that lie would,., inform, free of charge, enterprising young men how to make a’forty no without capital, replies to several anxious inquirers ; “Every one of you pull off your coats, leave off your army sixes, quit w hisky, go to work, make a crop of corn, cot ton, peas and potatoes ; house them up, then marry an enterprising girl.” A newspaper at Salem. Oregon, says it is called upon to deny “the rumor that tiie sienm b'-at Owners bad employed a street sprinkler to lay the dust in the bed of the Wilafnet river.

The Troy Times notes a medical consultation at the bedside of a sick lady, of two allopathic and thiec homoaopathic physicians; and, strange to say, the patient recovered. Good nature, like the bee, collects sweetness from every Rower ; while ill nature, like the spider, finds only poison. AVhnt Kind of Land should be Ploughed in Autumn t Wo clip the following from the New York Tim cm : There is nothing gained, but a great loss sustained, in many instances, by ploughing land in autumn. For this reason a funner should know without experimenting, whether it will be better to speed the plough in the fall than to defer it till spring. The following suggestions may be off some service to begin ners, in aiding them to determine whether to plough in autumn: Light, sandy limnis which rest on a porous subsoil should never be ploughed in either early or late autumn when grain is not to be put in. There is nothing gained by ploughing light him! of any kind in autumn, Asa gen eral rule, ploughing such land in autumn or winter does riot exert uny ameliorating effect upon the productiveness of the land. When there is so much sand in the soil that it may be ploughed, even without any fear that the surface w ill bake nnd become cloddy, the-land should never be ploughed in autumn. On tiie contrary, when the soil has only a limi ted proportion of clay and 1 ime in it, by plough ing iaautumn the productiveness may bo large ly increased. In many instances, if land be ploughed up neatly aud deep iu Into autumn, the ameliorating influence of the alternate frosts aud rains us winter will be so marked that the laud which was ploughed in lute au tumn will frequently produce quite ns large crop without the application of any fertilizers, as the same ground would yield if a dressing of manure were applied when the ground is ploughed in the spring. All heavy laud will be greatly iinproyed by autumn ploughing, as the frost w ill break up the solidity ot thefurrow slices and lumps. Most of the heavy laud ou (he slopes us lakes uud livers, if ploughed at any time before the ground freezes up, will not require a second ploughing next spring, pro vided the ploughing is performed in a neat and workman-like manner. If the land is in sod, unusual pains should be taken to run fur rows an inch or two deeper than the plough bus heretofore run, so us to turn up a little of the subsoil that has never been brought to the surface. Speed the plough. How to Select a Fowl.— A young turkey bus a smooth leg nnd a solt bill and the eyes will he bright and the feet moist. Old turkeys have scaly, stiff feet. Young fowls have a ten der skill, smooth legs and the breast bone yields readily to the pressure of the finger. The best are those that have yellow legs. The feet and legs of the old Fow ls look as if they had seen hard »ei vice in the world. Young ducks feel tender under the wing, and the web is transpa rent. Tho best are thick and harden Young geese have yellow bills, and the feet are yellow and supple ; the skin may be easily broken h) the head of a pin, the breast is plump and fat white. An old goose is unfit for tho human s'c iti.ich. The Boston Courier thinks that a man witli thirtv or forty millions of official patronage to distribute, like Gen. Grant, cannot fail to be followed, odvised, lured, adored, "button-holed, lieksoittled, annoyed, hunted,bored, nnd driven to the verge of desperation, or thrown into a chronic dialrl.oca. Mere tulgar wealth is the only social test of respectability in this country. We have got rid of rank to Low before the golden calf— money. Human nature among us lias lost all its dignity and self-respect in the vulgar scram ble for wealili. It is a humiliating spectacle. Business is our real religion, and our thoughts, like these us Milton’s Muloiber, are downwaid* bent. But why moralize ? Every age and country has its peculiarity and peculiar ten dency . Goon News For Literary Men.—There is an eccentric gentleman in this city, who, it is rumored, intends to bequeath his large fortune after his death, for the erection of an asylum for decayed wits, who are to he taken in a. soon as they grow dull, at whatever time of life that may happen. A branch of this ;n --stitutfon is to take charge of careless writers who omit quotation marks, and the library of those addicted to word mongcring and Carly lisms is to consist of the “Jack the Giant Kil ler scHes,” and other purist works, Those in the habit tis wrapping up threadbare thoughts in hard words and ponderous adjectives, will he compelled to deliver lectures suitable to the comprehension of Fourth Ward audiences. It is anticipated that the admissions into this in stitution will he very numerous. —New loci Democrat. Extravagance and Waste. Tho New York Tribune thus exposes the wasteful system nnd cost of collecting the re venues under the legislation of its own party: “Os 41,0()0 officers of the Government, upward 0fT9,000 are appointed through, and are under the order, of the Secretary of the Treasury. We do not think it ought to require two officers lo collect and pay out the money necessary to pay the other three for the service* they per form. But jt ia true that two fifths of the officers of the United States are doing only this and nothing more. This shows that our laws for collecting public revenue are less wisely adapted to the end than our rules for transact ing private business.!’- A contract has been signed to finish the rail road between Selma and Montgomery hy the first of November, 1869. The completion of this link of forty-four miles, with that of the air-linc from Charlotte to Atlanta, will form an unbroken and very direot line of railway from Vicksburg to New York. A great poet says “the mountains stand fixed Urover.” We know, however, that it is no uncommon thing for them to slope ! Remarkable Geological Discoveries. Wo find the following very interesting nos count of remarkable geological discoveries in the Buffalo Courier, of the 9th ult.: There arc now on exhibition at the rooms of the Society ol Natural Sciences, in this city, two of the most remarkable discoveries record ed in the annals of science. That is, of course, if a critical examination by the leading savatts of the scientific world shall pro.e them to be wlmt their discoverers claim. One is the fossil imprint of the foot of a man, or rather the cast of such nn imprint. It was discovered by a workman in a colliery in Western Fennsylvaia, in the shale overlnying a run of coal, and un derlaying two other veins which wore being worked by the oompnny. The spot where it was found is nearly a mile from the pit’s mouth, and some three hundred feet from the surface. The rock in which it was embedded belongs to the paleozoic age, and the imprint, if snch it be, was made mil lion. of years before the present geological era commenced. It is the cast of tho left foot of a man of ordinary size, and is perfectly defined. The foot was evidently protected by a sandal or moccasin ; the heel, the arch, and the bull of the foot, and slighter depression made by the toes are perfect, and whether produced by the foot of a man, or a freak of Dame Nature, the cast is as perfectly defined as if it were the work of a sculptor. By a curious coincidence, the siwietv, a few days before this donation, received the second specimen from the Rev. S. Cowles, ofGowanda. It is a large slabof sandstone, on which, stamped in the solid rock, can be seen the imprint of liorsos’ hoofs, as perfectly presented as though they were formed but yesterday upon a muddy bank of a sluggish stream. There are at least half a dozen of these impressions, varying in size from the track of a full grown horse to that of a young colt. They point“in different directions, as though the animals were leisurly walking about crop- ping the luxuriant grasses of that tropical pe riod, some of them being partially obliterated by the more perfect form of a fresher imprint. Mr. Cowles has sent similar specimens to the professors of Yale and other colleges, und we look with interest for the theories of those high authorities respecting the nature and character of the tracks, by what formed, and the condi tion of the earth at tho date of their formation. If the theories of the discovert rt be correct, tl • result will be to entirely overthrow the present geological system and to further complicate that terrible question, the effort to solve which has cau-ed learned men so many soul-disturbing doubts and fears, and whicli brought Hugh Miller to so tragical an end—that is, whether the geological nnd scriptural records of the world’s creation are reconcilable ? The fossil foot print was presented to the so ciety by John Magee, Esq., now in Europe. Nobly Said. lion. J. B. Henderson, a republican Sena tor from Missouri, out of favor with his party for voting on tho side of the President in the impeachment trial, in a recent letter to his colleague, Mr. Drake, thus deprecates the pol icy of disfranchising the white people of the South in order to strengthen the Radical party : A perfect system of morality will not sanc tion wrong that good may come of it. Good never comes from such a course. Men do not gather grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles. Sweet waters do not spring from bitter foun tains. The enslavement of the white man is not likely to bring about the liberty and hnb piuess of the negro. Freedom is a fruit that does not grow on the stock of oppression, graft and bud it as you will. Rather than place our party in tho attitude which you indicate, let us try the amendment to-day, and if defeated let us then enfranchise our own race nnd try it again. People will believe that we are actuated by a true love of liberty when they find no cause to suspect us of a wish to enfranchise those who vote for us and to disfranchise those who vote against us. I propose to secure the negro’s rights by an appeal to reason, and not by tho permanent enslavement of a large body of our own race, who tire as loyal and deserving as either of us. A Weston in North Carolina. —lt is said to be a fact that Johnnie McDonald, although employed every day in Raleigh, as an officer of th« Legislature, takes but one meal per day in lhat city. He walks to his home, in Chatham County, forty miles from Raleigh, every evening, and back the next morning; nnd still we hear, he complains very much of his se dentary habits.— CK. Cbu. The editor of the Uynthiann (Ivy.) News, in making an appeal to his subscribers, who ure in arrears, to pay up, says: “We hope they will settle without delay. Not that wo need money—oh, no! Our ink is given to us, we steal our paper, and we win our printers’ wages at ‘seven up.’. So it costs us, nothing to carry on our business. Nevertheless, as matter of accommodation, and to case our consciences, we will take what they owe us if they will send it immediately.” Never allow misfortune to make you selfish, but imitate the example of Fenelon, who when his library was on fire exclaimed, “God bo praised that it is not the dwelling of a poor man.” The world looks with cold respeck upon nn ackt ov justiss, but heave up their hats at a dis play ov metsey. Yet the one is the strength ov virtue, while the other iz most olten its greatest weakness.— Josh Billings. A good wife exhibits her love for her husband by trying to promote his comfort constantly. VOL 4, NO. 6 The Coining Girl. She will vote, will ho of some use it! tho world, will cook her own food, will earn her living, and will not die nn old maid. The coining girl will not wear the Grecian heml, .lance the Gorman, ignore all possibilities of knowing how to work, will not endeavor to break the hearts of unsophisticated vounginen, will spell correctly, understand English beforo she affects French, will preside with equal grace at the piano and the washboard, will spin more yum for the bouse than for tho street, will not despise her plainly elad mother, her jieor relation!*, or the hand of an honest worker, will wear a bonnet, speak good, plain, unlisping English, will darn her own stock, ings, will know how to bake doughnuts, and will not read the Ledger oltener than she does her Bible. Tho coming girl will walk five milos a day, if need be, to keep her cheeks in glow, will mind her health, her physieal development and her mother, will adopt a costume hath senjihle and conducive to comfort and health ; will not confound hypocrisy with politeness ; will not practice lying to please instead of frankness ; will have the courage to cut an unwelcome acquaintance; will not think that refinement is French duplicity, th'nt assumed hospitality where hate dwells in the heart is bet ter than outspoken condemnation ; will not confound grace of movement with silly affec tation, will not regard the end of her very be ing to have a beau, will not Bniilo nnd smile, and he a villian still. The coming girl will not look to Paris, but to reason for her fashion : will not aim to fol low a foolish fashion because milliner, and dressmakers have directed it; will not torture her bodv, shrivel her soul with puerilities, or ruin it w ith wine and pleasure. In short; the coming girl will seek to glorify her Maker, and to enjoy mentally his works. Duty will be her aim, and her life a living reality. An Vlteetiug Scene. The Richmond Enquirer, of a few days since has the following : “An affecting scene took place a few day. since at the police station, which melted more than one heart to tears. A young man of most respectable connections had been arrested fi r drunkenr e sand disorderly ci a luct, and wi • raving like a maniac in his cell, when his aged mother attired in widow’s weeds, entered the station house, and requested to be allowed an interview. The request was granted, and shs stood face to face witli her erring son. The surprise almost sobered him for amoment, and he greeted her with manly tenderness, but the demon soon broke forth in fresh ravings. The mother endeavored to calm and soothe him, but without avail ; his dulled ear was deaf even to the tones of natural love, and retiring from the cell she sank into a seat, while the sobs so Jong choked down, burst forth with passionate veheinonoe for her son—her failed son, her fond hope and pride, the prop and stay of her old age—for whom she would wil lingly have laid down lier lifo. For two hours her uncontrollable agitation had full sway and then, with an effort of calmness, she depar ted. It|was a scene which nonocould view with out emotion and spoke in thunder tones of the evils of strong drink. For your own sake, for God’s sake, spurn the intoxicating bowl. It is fraught with ruin to body and soul; it is a liquid fire; distilled damnation, the strong est of all the devil’s potent enginery. Don’t drink. The ruby bowl may invite, but there is death in every sparkle ; tears and sighs in every glowing drop. It will deprive you of health, fortune, reputation and friends; mar your every prospect, blight your every hope, bring down the gray hairs of your parents in shame and sorrow to the grave, and finally consign you, a poor, bloated, disgraced wretch to a panper’s’ trench in Potter’s Field. Boy’s don’t drink." Wise men arc instructed by reason; men of less understanding by experience ; the most ignorant by necessity; and beasts by na ture. A good thing is worth till the pain it costs; a bad one is to bo rejected, let the struggle be wliht it may. On a good thing there is no discount, but on a bad one there is nothing but discount; those who have tried both will en dorse what we say. Katiier llaro on tub Meades.— Columbus Sun, speaking of the alleged insanity of Com modore Meade, now in the Insane Asylum at Bl'iuiuiiigduie, New Yaik says: “The insani ty of this Meade is no new thing. He has been considered crazy for u long time. If friends of the family will undertake the case, we will furnish the proof necessary to put the brother, in this State, in a public institution of a different character. " Would the editor put him in a “sweat box?” Recently in Paris a girl eleven years old stole a meerschaum pipe from a shop window, and was detected in the act. Being asked what she wanted with such an article, she replied s “My lover wished one, and I determined to gratify him.” The idea that an editor is only a poor devil of a fellow is all wrong. lie makes public opinion, he makes money, and he often makes men ; and, therefore, he is some consequence. —Mobile fllgister. There is a tailor in New Orleans named Stitch, a shoemaker named Kick, a dentist named Gumpert, a gunsmith named Lock, and a carpet-bag clergyman named Satchell, Kinder is the looking-glass than the wine glass: for the former reveals our defects to ourselves only—the latter to our friends.
