It calls for his reflection In Justice to him and for party unity. QUColonel John D.

As some of our readers take a deep interest in borr.es, ire copy the following item from the Indianapolis Sentinel of the 21st: The arie of blooded horses belonging to the stud of David A. Gage, at Riverside, Illinois, closed on the 20th. The celebrated trotting in are Clara O, sold to 8. C. Chase, of Boston, for $15,000; John H, a trotter of fine quality, ■old to Colonel Love Ben ham, of St. Louis, for $7,500; Ida May, bay mare well known, Ihiucbl by 8. Sweeney, of Wheeling, Vir ginia, for $1,075; La Sisks, a fast trotter, brought $2,400; Pbo-nix Belie, sold to S. T. Webster, of Chicago, for $t,450. The entire amount of the sale foots up about $50,OO^. Wrong, The New York World is guilty of the ab surdity of saying that Baltimore ought to be contnr led by the Democracy of those States that have Democratic majorities, and the party in those States baring Radial majori ties abotilil bare no vote. It goes so faru to designate the rota of such Stales at Bal timore a an impertinence. It is this sort of asanmacy and absurdity that blotches the ability of the World. BncU expression of • opinion a this can do no good. It it a wrong to the Democracy of the Radically-held Slates, and is calculated to do what it maul Pi accomplish, via: make trouble in the party- The rcceipta this week are 6,000 boles, 12,000 less Ilian last year and SjOOO lea than two years since. It is likely the receipts for next week will be 4,000 bales, compared with 16,000 U»t year, 3,000 the year before, and receipts at interior towna 1,000, compared with 3.0 0 last year and 1,0X1 the year before. The average of the thermometer for the past week has been eighty-five degrees, at noon, for two days it stood at ninety-two degrees— fire clear days, two days doody sed showery and a good general ram one night. The cot ton plant is growing a finely a possible, and if the present status continues the crop will be the largest ever grown, but we will have some drawbacks before winter. Catarpillara arc are already reported at several pl-.ccs in the West, bat a it is too early yet for the army it is likely they will do no barm at The Delaware Strawberry Crap. The Wilmington Commercial of tho lOtli ays the lint shipment of strawberries from that State in any quantity wa made on the •.‘3d of May—throe cars—and the shipments continued to gradually increase until the 8d of June, when the unprecedented number of fifty-one can wa attained. Between the 23d of May and last Monday (the 17th of June,) 444 an passed Northward from the Dele- ware Railroad. Estimating 250 crates, or 8.000 quarts, to the car load, the usual esti mate, we find that 3,000,472 quarts of berries were shipped from the Renin? ula At eight rents per quart, this shipment will yield Pi the grower $227,260—s sum equal to realized in the three preceding yean. Itadical Blasphemy. A Grant ratification meeting was held in Washington on the 25th. Senator Nye, of Nevada, used the following horrible blas phemy: We shall not bo beaten, because it is fore ordained of Almighty God that the Republi can party ha not accomplished its work until every man, woman and child stand firm on their foet We have beaten them on cvciy field of strife. Wc have been their master from the Potomac to the Gulf— Ucana our ante is just No matter of what color—lhank God, we clothed the stars with the imperishable garments of freedom. Let Greeley bowl I Let Sumner whine! The man who doubts Grant's election is an infidel. Judge Mackey, of Booth Carolina, thus played'on theold card of “loilty" and vll liflos his people: He believed that the bane involved in the pending election was one of domestic peace •>r war. Grant, to the Southern mind, sym bolized the idea of loyalty to the Union, and pi defeat him would be to fortify and strengthen the party of reaction in the South ern States. In the State of South Carolina, during the post four years, nearly fonr hun dred Republicans had been slain and three thousand scourged because of their lo to the government of their country. was done by the Ku-KIux, who are but the skirmish line thrown out by tho Democracy of the North. Tue monsoen has not yet.begun in India, and it is getting very late. It usually begins about 10th of June, and continues wire se verity about forty days—the average fall of rain being twenty-fire inches in that time. After the monsoon, the rains fall about as they do in this country until January when they cease altogether until the period for the monsoon again. The slock of cotton at Liverpool has been counted tbl: week, and found as we intimated it would be, to have been under estimated about fifty thousand boles, bat the stock of the Amuri can was found to be abort ten thousand bales. The stock of cotton in Liverpool now is, for the first time since the war, over one million bales. There will he new cotton on the market for sale from Texas wi'.hiu four weeks. What is called the American cotton in sight is stocks a: interior towns, stock* at United Siala ports, stock at Liverpool, afloat for Liverpool and the amount ex ported the past week, which is ncvci reported in the amount afloat for Liverpool These few items constitute wliat is called American cotton in sight, and the amount so in sight has been for four years at this date ns follows: I860. 360,000 bales; 1»70. 664,000 bides; 1871, 746,000 baits; 1872, .'.30000 bales Price in Liverpool same time was 12J 10, 81, and 11J pence. Price in New York same time 34 J, 201, 21, and 26J cents. We now have the quantity on hand and the price, and the following figures Here the amounts required each week by tbe •pinners of Manchester for I860,17.000; 1870, 28.000 hales; 1871.38jOCO bales, and for 1872, thus far, 33,000 bales. Required by tbe spin ners of the United Stata per week for 1860, 15.000 bales; 1870,18,000 bales; 1371,20,000 boles; 1872, thus far, 21,000 bales. These figures are about correct, but the mills always have a stock on hand which an only be esti mated, and then not very correctly. During tbe past three weeks Manchester spinners have reduced their slocks 50,000 bales, one-half of which is American; and our own spinners have reduced their spicks 30.000 bales in the same time. Whether they have stock enough on hand to continue to ran their mills to their full capacity, and still go on reducing them at this rate, nr whether they will be compelled; before the new crop comes to band, to enter market in competition with . speculators and thus put the price up mnch higher, our readers most judge for themselves; we have given them all the figures for the past, by which they an see that scarcity‘of^cotton causes high prices and this, ln'ita turn, reduces the demand from spinners, snd plenty of cotton pro duces the opposite effect. One other thing will be noticed, that in 18611 the vciy high price caused spinners to reduce their takings to tbe smallest possible amount, but since that time the great increase ill the demand for goods all over the world, and particularly in India, Japan, and China, to gether with long prices, has caused new mills p> lie built, so that tbe quantity of American cotton absolutely needed by the world is three and three quarter millions per year, whereas four years ago, two millions sufficient There is no doubt the vciy splen did prospect of the growing crop lias much to do with the prices just now. How lo Win success. It is impossible, ays the Baltimore Ga zette. to dwell with too mnch earnestness upon tbe importance of thorough and com plete union in the Democratic ranks. There never wa a time in the history of onr party when more self-abnegation was demanded— when a greater amount of perrons] sacrifice was needed to secure the defeat of our reck- lots and unscrupulous opponents. That the political situation Is foil of peril no one can doubt; that serious apprehensions for the future are entertained by some of our best and wisest statesmen, is a fact that calls for the most prudent action, not only on the part of the laden, but also among the entire rank ami fife of the party. That the large majority of the Democracy will unhesitatingly obey tho decision of the Democratic National Conven lion, whatever its voice may lie, la un questionably tree; but there are sorno wbo, nt Ibis Umc, openly announce their inten- 1 ions pot to be bound by its action, unless the decree registered by that body shall be in strict accordance with their own views and opinions. This is as unwise a it is im- politic. Men who permit themselves to be tints madly carried away by tbe passions and prejudices of the hour, may find, when it is too lalt- that they have unwittingly aided in the perpetuation of the worst Ad ministration that ever curse 1 any country. It should, therefore, be the daily duty of ivcry Democrat to urge upon his brethren tue vast importance of union, harmony and conciliation, in the utmost degree, and to counsel every one within hia reach to look with entire confidence to tbe Democratic National Convention a the only recognized 1 preventative of the party whoa behests Mouldin' beard and ob-yed. Tbe only hope . f tbe Radicals is in tbe distensions of tbe kmocrary. By a division of nor ranks 1 hty expect to conquer. They will use every effort to foment discord in onr midst, and U lien they accomplish their work, they will * .ugli at our calamity and mock when our fear comes. <In two weeks more the Na tional Convention wUl assemble in Balti more. it promises to be the largest and ui.ist intelligent meeting of freemen that ever assembled in the Union. Thousands from all quarters of the Republic will gather 1 .re to join in this grand demonstration s .sinsr the corrupt faction now in power. 1** fact, as well a in name,let it be tbe oracle i f the great Democratic party. By that . m we will conquer; but in no other way i_n we hope for success. Tue prize is within 1 i.r grasp. If we fail to secure it, it will or.lv Ik bcom-c we neglected to profit by the tracking of all time that in unioats strength, and that without it the best and holiest cause may be last. The Indirect Hsmagca Surer The supreme farce entitled “Indirect Damages,” and written and played liy Grant' Radical administration, ha ended. Tbe telegraph has brought us word that*t is over foren r. And such • farce. It would be all fanny if the United States, as a nation, had not some stock in it of dignity. But'what ever of mirth arises at it is at the expense of the national esteem. Therefore much laugh ing is out of order. But to redeem the ridi cule, the matter so thoroughly demonstrates the utter incompctency of the Grant dynasty that it will be a compensation for any lose of dignity if the thing will help make the country kick nut tbe Grants. The claim of indirect damages w as made in violation of the letter id the treaty. It WU refused to be considered by the English government. After immense bluster and threatening, Gram tried to trick a withdraw al of the claim. This failed. The matter has been settled by the Geneva Conference declaring the claim inadnibsablc, and thus branding tbe action of tbe United States that settlement simply adjudicate- that the Grant administration has done a folly. Governor Smith has filled the vacancy-in tho Judgeship of the Cherokee Circuit occa sioned by tbe dratli of Judge Parrott, by the appointment of C. D. McCutckcn, E-q., of Dalton, Ga. A better selection could not have been nude. The writer knows the J udge well. He is a first-class lawyer and a gentleman ot unusual moral worth. He possesses cvcry qualily for a number one Judge, lie has brains, legal knowledge, high honor, unfalter ing nerve, and a hart as broad as out-doors. There is not a more generally esteemed citi zen in his acctiou. Of pure life aud habits, he is an exemplar of morality. lie is a solid member of the church. He had competitors for the position in gen tlemen of first merit, and his selection from such worthy aspirants was a tribute to him. We congratulate Governor Smith on the appointment It will give satisfaction to the good people. It will serve the cause of Geor gia justice; and it will beacreditto Governor Smith’s administration. Announcement. Atlanta, Ga, June29,1872. 7b lit Hwpfe 0/ Gtoryia: For months past I have been solicited, per sonally and by letters from friends in all por tions of the State, to submit my name as a candidate for Governor. Now that the Ex ecutive Committee has called a Convention to meet in this city on the 24lh day of the coming month to nominate a candidate fo: Governor, I deem it a fit opportunity to an •wer these solicitations, and to announce that I am a candidate for the position. As a candidate for that position I do not feel called upon to discuss the present excit ing Isaacs of national politics. What Georgia needs is a good, sound and eoonomial administration. SiripjKd of much of much of her materia! wealth by the results of the war and subsequently of much that was left her by the harpies woo preyed upon her in the hour of her distress and helplessness, she now finds herself bur dened with an immense debt for the carrying of which her people are gloriously taxed. Tbe people need ami demand relief, prompt, full aud adequate to their great necessities, snd if Isball be honored wiih the position, 1 rasv say that all of my energies will be devoted to tbe task of restoring the credit, the prosperity and the honor ol ike noble old Commonwealth, if the people shall think and decide that some other gen tleman is belter entitled to the high honors of her Chief Magistrate, it will afford me a sincere pleasure to promptly bow to their ex- praised wishes.

A high degree of culture and learning per vaded every composition. They were entire ly free from that richly sentimentality, that too often mars the beauty of lady’s writing. The style of reading was graceful and ele- 5 int, llie pronunciation clear aud distinct .ny competent witness of the ex uninalion and exhibition would invohmtaiily exclaim, that the graduating class of 1872, arc honor to the institution from which they cm uniitcd ns well as to tlic r r parents aud themselves. When Uio young ladies had finished read ing their compositions, Mrs. Maria J. Wcst- morclaud, of your city, mid an interesting essay on the subject: M What Shall Our Women Do?” In her elegant and polished stylo she set fortli the duties of our women. Not a craving after the bullot-box or the band-box, and following in the footsteps of our nude women, hut to make home liappy , and if perchance one should feel the prome thean spark, let her ol>ey the call ami become an authoress. To appreciate this elegant cofiijKisitiou it should bo heard, and we hope it may be published that all may see it. Now came the awarding of diplomas by Prof. Cnx. After making a few remarks, which almost brought tears to the eyes of Hie chiss, be delivered them to the eleven beautiful and accomplished young ladies who coinfMMed the graduating, who accepted them with a graceful bow. Mrs. Westmoreland, who graduated at thU college some years u"(. was presented with an honorary degree. Di Skinner, of Columbus, was now introduced to the audience. He was selected to make speech to llic graduating class. He read very interesting and instructive lecture the Bible. Had it been &i>oken would have been listened to with far deeper degree of interest. What spoken would be vciy impressive and inter esting, when read falls comparatively Hat and stale. AU were looking forward with the grandest expectation to the “levee” ot the college, and I dare say none were disap pointed. The halls were filled with the lieauties of LaGrangc and the surrounding country. The silver comet band, of this plac*, entertained the listeners with sweet music. There was a pet feet flow of soul and feast of reason. At a late hour the crowd dispersed, uttering words of highest praise and commendation of Prof. Cox and his school. And for our part we feel convinced that there is not a letter institution in the country for the education of young ladies. Wkwvryah Fkmalk Institute, ) Staunton, Ya.,Juuc 21,1872. J Editors The commencement the Wesleyan Female Institute continued with unabated oKeiest up to Thursday, the 20th instant.'^flfr YOUNG LADIES’ CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION held their. flual'^xertiScs Tmaday evening. Eiisays were well read by Misses Bedford and Doggett, of Virginia; Lucy Kyle, of Texas; and also by Misses Sallie Russell, of Angus ta, Ga., and Jennie Rambo, of Georgia. Dr. R.S. Moran, of-Xgth Carolina, preached an able and impressive sermon. The sacred music on the occasion was very fine. Wednesday thtflOth came off the GRAND COMMENCEMENT BOIUEE. And a grand aflaic it was. Oat of a class of one hundred and fire instrumental pupils and fifty special yocal pupils, under such teachers us are in this school, we had reason to expect a grand musical entertainment we had never seen before. Such an assemblage of finely trained voices, while the instrumental music was superior, (lie Vocal excelled all we have ever before heard. Among the ‘ GEORGIA LADIES in this concert, seemed to distinguish themselves on this occasion, were Misses 31. Ligon, E. Rooney, of Columbus; Miss Mattie Coker, of Americas, (who has singular and rare musical gifts orMisa Gertrude Smith, of Atlanta, who woil great applause by her S tlendid voice. In fact, all the ladles from eorgia, and especially those from Atlanta, in this College, viz: Misses Goodman, Keith, Smith and Harris, have taken a high stand in the departments^ mhich they were en gaged as students. -entire conceal did great honor to the young ladies, the teachers and school, and was mSc of the most brilliant ~ ever attended. Thursday the CLOSING COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES occurred. They were unu-ually imposing and impivssive. Mils Trotter, of Virginia, read the salutatory essay, and Miss Aurora Walker, of Georgia, read the valedictory to her ciass of fall gradual**. President Harris conferred directions for distinguished scholor- ship on several ladies from Georgia. Amon? those from this State who received gok medals were Miss Rooney, of Columbus, Miss Florence Goodman, and 3Iiss Gertrude Smith, of Atlanta. The course being very high there are never more than from four to six full graduates. On this occasion six young ladies took the distinguished degree of “full graduate” viz: Misses A. Walker, of Georgia; Jennie Ramoo, of Georgia; 31nry Bland, Annie Prather, Emile Harper, of Virginia, and Eve lyn Rooney, of Georgia.

Edit rs Constitution: An attempt made to murder with glass, on the night of the 25th instant, on the plantation of the widow Strickland, near this p'ace. One of her laborers, Sam Naulls, colored, owns two very good mules, and bad paid for them with the exception of a few dollars. Some low down demon beat up glass and mixed it up in dough and gave it to the males; but as luck would have it, and you may say misfortune too, only one of thefh cat the dough. The mule that cat the dough is not dead as yet, but there is no telling when it might die. The other mule, it seems, took a scare :.nd ran oat of the stable during the time, and the murderer must have gotten frightened at it and missed the troug h, or put it where the male could not get it; and the dough was found yesterday morning near the irouirh with glass a pkmy in it, and signs in ilic other mules troug r and on its mouth to convince any one. Il had eat all that was given it. I saw the dough, and several others, and il was full of beai up gloss. No clue as yet has been obtained who the perpetrate! was that did the hideous deed.

Professor Henry Schoeller, the director of the concert is a host within himself, who, by the most judicious division and control of his performers, by his tasteful selections from the most elaborate opera song down to the aim pie ballad, by elegant instrumental music, and by precision in conducting a concert, never fails to interest an audience, and well deserves the rank he takes in his profession.

On which occasions he would imagine himself the Lord, come to join the world. Mounting a pile of flour, he would assume all the exterior dignity of a judicial officer, and at once commence to judge his neighbor ing craftsmen; making and answering the interrogations himself. He would commence with Hans Gotlcb’s case. “Hans Gotlcb, stand oop. HansGotleb, vnt vas your peesnissin dat odder vorldt?” “I vas a miller, O Lordt” “Vaa you a sbust man, Hans Gotlcb?'* “Vel sometimes veu dc vater lie vas low, and de r peesniss he vas pad*, ' lakes pnrdy high tolea.” “Vel right Hons Gotleb; you shall go on de left side wit dc goats.” And in this manner the crazy old fellow would call up one after another of the n fi lers of his acquaintance, asking the same questions, getting the some replies, aud inva riably sentencing them to “de leftside mil de goats.” Last of all he would judge himself after this who: “Jacob Miller stand oop. “Jacob Miller, vat vas your peesness in#iat odder vorldt f* “I vas a miller, O Lonlt.” “Vas you a sbust man, Jacob 3Iiller?” “Vel sometimes ven de vater he vas low, I dakes purty stiff doles, but I always gives dein extra doles to poor.” “Vel Jacob Miller you shall go de right side mit de sheeps; but it is a darn ed tight squeeze.’’ rar A gentleman in M., Mass ichuset’s, being threatened with a contagious disease, said to his little son, who, in an affectionate mood, wished to emulate him, “ You mustn’t hug me; you’ll catch the scarlet fever.” Wil lie, standing back, looked in amazement upon his pkpa (who, by the way, is a pattern of propriety,) and quick asked, “Why, papa, who did you hug?” llovr tho Democrats arc T alkiaf.

At the Illinois Democratic State Conven tion the following occurred: Hon. Bayless W. Hanna, of Indianna, be ing on the floor was invited to tho platform, and made a brief speech, in course of which, refering to the Cincinnati ticket, he asserted that if it was nominated at Baltimore D.

The fair sex are a queer set; we gave them up ever since, when we were six years old, our bewitching blue-eyed Mary Jane, who had plighted her eternal troth to us, jilted us for a fellow who was twice as big as we were —so safe from our revenge—because be had a new top. Now, 31 ary Jane could not spin a top—spinning tops is not in the female line; it is not a privilege of the sex; on the other hand, it is one of the forbidden delights. We never knew a girl who could fasten the twine around a top, much less send it down humming upon the boards on its iron peg, as the superior sex learns so readily to do. Our fairy Mary could look on while that lubberly Tom performed this feat; but so could the rest of us, and she was no better off than if she bod been true to her first love. Slic never tried to spin a top, for aught we know, but used to follow the possessor about as though she shared some of tbe grandeur of such a possession. We gave the sex up from that time to this, as a conundrum too com plicated for us to solve. If Mary Jane had been presented with a new doll, wc should not have striven to learn how to nurse the sham baby; nor, if another girl had been favored, should we have dreamed of changing our allegiance.. Woman’s nature seems dif ferent from man’s nature—higher, better and purer, we are ready lo swear it is; but dif ferent, certainly. wbojcaftni •: *hlca» trmsojv til! ihe more.

At twenty minutis past eleven the procession moved at a slow p\cc, followed by crowds. Uolscnbake appeared to suffer much mentally, but Lloyd was indifferent. THE GALLOWS was erected on a piece of waste ground situ ated al>out a quarter of a mile from the city* which formerly belonged to the murdered man, Fish. The hideous machine was well put up by Mr. James Lowry, of Oglethorpe. It reached sixteen feet from the ground to the top of the beam; the drop platform being placed in the middie eight feet from the ground. Clo-^e by were the coffins that were to receive the bodies of the men then living. That of Hol- senbake was a Fisk inclalic case, f iraished by Messrs. Griffin & Hyatt, of Montezuma. Lloyd’s coffin was of walnut, covered with block cloth. On the arrival nt the place of execution, Uolscnbake was assisted up, as the wound lie received iu the tliigh prevented his walking or even standing alone. Lloyd walked up with much firmness. Both then sat down, umbrellas being held over them. The heat was now iutense. The ropefc were now produced aud were adjusted by Sheriff Lee, assisted by Mr. Garnage, a former Sheriff of the county, and Deputy Sheriff Greer. The fatal noose was first put over the head of Lloyd, w ho, seizing it in his hands, tried its strength and appa rently the possibility of it giving away from above. When it cainc lo ilolscnback’s turn, he rose, and not being satisfied witb the length, asked for more rope, and measuring the drop by liis own length bv putting the noose on his toe, remarked, “ If it has got to come, let it come.” The adjusting of the rope occupied some time, aud exactly at 11:50, Sheriff Lee announced the execution was about to take place. He said they had one hour to live, aud during that time each of them would l»e allowed thirty minutes to ud- dress the crowd if they wished. UOLSBNDAKE SPEAKS Uolscnbake rose with difficulty, lie was supported on each side. Lloyd was silting down chewing tobacco calmly, with his bock against one of the posts. He eyed Holsen- bakc closely and listened to him with pro found attention. Having taken water freely, Holscnbakc said, in substance, as follows Fellow-citizens, wc arc met hen: on a most solemn occasion—met here to tako my life. I entreat your prayers. I ask your fervent prayers in my behalf. The fervent prayer of the righteous uvailctli much, and in pray ing for mo you may convert your own souls.

I have failed to obtain justice in the courts of 1 iw. The laws have been ille gally or unjustly executed. I do not s|»eak as a lawyer, but so it seems to me. 1 am ar raigned as the principal for the crime of mur dering a man who has long since gone “to that bourne from whence no traveler ’ere re turns.” I trust God lias licen merciful to him. I am the nuin who took Uis life. [Mur murs of horror ] I did it wfieu under great irritation; 1 had. lost my reason; i was a monomaniac; 1 had nothing against Colonel Fish, but I had beard that he had desecrated the dearest affections of my heart; that he had violated my household ties aud sullied the reputation of my little daughter, who, thank God, has lieen for months in Heaven, and I trust I shall speedily be with her. I do not feel as tin ugh I was the author of this crime. Everything 1 have stated con ccraing my accomplice has hecn honestly and truthfully stated.

Farrow: 1 ted you, fellow-citizens, he stands to-day lief ore God and thi* community a degraded and disgraced mortal. 1 have nothing against him, but he has not only forfeited his word, but sacrificed his honor; aud more»till, he is a convicted pcijurer, and the court records will prove it There is here to-day standing before me an honorable and high-minded gentieman, one who was engaged in my de fense—CoL. VV. S. Wallace. 1 refer to him; he knows what 1 say is true.

That State has, to say the least, given a quasi indorsement to the Cincinnati Convention, and the speech of Hon. J. B.

He was the friend of my father, politically and person ally, in “days ’Lang Syne." lie never wore a party colar. He never belonged “cither to the house of Lancaster or York,” but his no ble heart ever heat responsively to tire inter est of the sunny South. He has ever been the clivmpion of States rights, when others wandered after strange gists. His willing- mas lo support Greeley with all of hisdamn- ing sins, provided tho Baltimore Convention indorses him, is enough to convince the most skeptical that some sacrifices should he made to nromotn the common good.

Had livid an honorable and useful life. Had never himself, or in collii aion with otlu-ts, entertained one iota of criminal feeling against any man. He declared that Jones, Kutrowr and the detectives had hatched the matter up. “ 1 swear,” said he, “ before you and before my God, before whom I shall soon nppeer. I am innocent. If I had dreamed of such a thing I would not have allowed it” lie said his death was a conspiracy, and W. B.

Jack and I*. Ilv—brother and suter—live away up in New Hampshire, in a Hlliccoun- trv village, where there w.is only one store, 2d that was a queer place! Mr. Wilson, tho “s'ide iiian," sold ail sorts of things—Uiread and needles, and bread, and ropes, and fiah- booka and candies, and castor oiL 1 don't Pel .eve yon could think of any article that is supposed to he sold by the butcher, the baker, or even the candlestick maker, hut that Mr. Wilson could find it somewhere among the bundles snd barrels of that little store. The post office “was held” in “the store," too; and every Sunday, after church, Mr. Wilson opened his doors a -d distributed llie letters and lupcra that bad ionic up in the Saturday evening train from the city. I can't begin to tell y<* how sorry every body in that village felt for the poor home- less families in that faraway Chicago; so on Sunday morning there was lo he a collection taken np in church, so that eveiybody might baveachanceuf giving something. Children in country towns do not have sa much spending money as yon city children do. ■ In-tlic first place,money is not as plenlv in farm houses as in city hoaxes, for tho ti y good reason that there is no necessity hr raving very much at home, nut of the bank} There are no baker'r, or milk or gmeeFs bills to j>ay; nor car tickets or stage checks to buy; for yon know farmers raise their own vegetables; and Spot, and Whitebait, and brindlc, and the other cows, give them all thu bwcet, fresh milk that they can ore, in return for tho meadows of cool grass and the brooks of “still waters," where they eat and drink and sleep nil the long lw.nrs away, in peace and quiet; and taking Dobbin and Brownie, and the colts to water, makes np, I guess, for all onr horse car rides. Don’t yen tUnk so? This bright Sunday morning mother took out her old pocket-book and gave Jack and little l’olly each a new, fresh twenty-five cent hill. Why they never had so much money in their fives before! All their own, l<»>! Think how much fun twenty-five cents will givu in the city, aud in tho country it seems to go three limes as far aud buy ever so much more! “ Lguess I’ll give my money to those poor, burned people this morning, in chnrch, you know, ’cause I'm so full of sorry for theta that 1 want <o show a little of it out," said brown-eyed l olly. “ I’ll give ’em miuc, ton," said Jack, in a sudden burst ot generosity. ' Two times flvFb a nought, two times two's a four—carry one. Why, fifty cents! Guess that’ll boy aume- thing. If every fellar and Iris sister in the village gave as lunch as we do.gucaa they wouldn’t waul long." “ Make il the Lord’s money, children,” said grandpa. “ Tell him yon pul il in hb hands, and ask him to Muss it to Homo poor little girl or boy. Hake il Ihe Lord's money; ho always takes care of his own," he repeated, thoughtfully, and with such earnestness iu his tone that lira little people were touched by il; and Folly said: “ We will, grandjm, won’t we Jack?" Bo grandpa drew them to bis side, and they made tlie fifty cents the Lord's money. “Jack,” aaid mother, before church, “you aid Fu.ly take this jelly down to Ain Mary’s, aud sec how tho lathy is. If you hurry, you'll lie in time to ride over to church with Uncle Joe."
