TIIK OLD CANOE.
Where the rocks arc gray and the shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep—
Where the rugged pine in its lonely pride
Leans gloomily over the murky tide—
Where the reeds and rushes are tall and
rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
hank —
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through—
Lies at its moorings tlic old canoe.
The useless paddles are Idly dropped,
Like n sea bird’s wings that the storm has
lopped.
And crossed on the railing, one o’er one,
Like folded hands when the work is done ;
While busily hack and forth between.
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the ’solemn owl,with his dull ‘too-hoo,’
Nestles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern, half sunk in the slimy wave,
Hots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps o’er its dull
decay,
Hiding tlic moulderiug duct away,
Like the band Hint plants o’er the tomb a
flower,
Or the ivy that mantles a fallen tower;
While many a blossom of liveliest line
Springs up o'er the stern of the old canoe.
The currenlless waters are dead and still.
But the light winds play with the boat at
will,
And lazily in and out again
It floats the length of its rusty chain,
Like tlie weary inarch of the hands of time,
That meet und part at Hie moonlight chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turn anew,
By tlic dripping bow ofllie old canoe. *
Oh! many a time, with a careless hand,
I've pushed it away from the pebbly strand,
And paddled it down where the stream ran
quick,
Where the whirls were wild and the storm
was thick,
And laughed as I leaned o’er the rocking
side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored hack from Hie old
canoe.
But now, as I lean o'er the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The lace that I see is graver grown,
And the laugh that I hear has a sober tone,
And tie.' hands that lent to the light skiff
wings,
Have grown familiar with sterner things;
But I love to think of the hours that flew,
As I rocked where the whirls their wild
spray threw,
Ere the blossoms moved, or the green grass
grew,
| O'er the mouldering stern of the old canoe.
N. U.
THE PLOW, LOOM AND ANVIL.
The camp has had iis day of song;
The sword, the buyopcl, the plume,
Have crowded out of rhyme too long
The plow, the anvil and the loom
Oh! not upon our tented fields
Are freedom's heroes bred alone
The training of the workshop yields
More heroes true than war has known.
Who drives the bolt, who shapes the steel,
May with a heart us valiant smile,
As ho who sees a focinnu n t 1
In blood before liis blow of might.
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graces life, and lighUus toil,
May spring from courage more sublime
Thun that which makes the realm its
spoil.
Let toilers, then, look up and see,
Their craft no pith of honor lacks.
The soldier's rifle yet shall lie
, Less honored than the woodman’s axe.
Let art ils own appointment prize.
Nor deem that gold or outward bight
Can compensate the worth that lies
In tastes that breed their own delight
And may the time come nearer still.
When men this sacred truth shall heed,
That from the thought and from the will
Must all that raises man proceed!
Though pride should hold your calling low.
For us shall duty make it good :
And wo from truth to truth shall go
Till life and death arc understood.
From the New York Sun.
LAST SONG OF THE O'NEILL.
I'm the Fenian chief, the brave O’Neill,
But 1 think I'll spend this night in jail,
For the lion might give me a rap of hi« tail,
| Though I'tn General of the Fenians.
: Tlic working people, I'll give them a sell;
| To take their money I like very well,
! But a3 for a fight, they may wait a spell,
Though I'm General of the Fenians.
I’ll tell them I’m going to fight or die;
But you know very well that’s all in my
eye:
When I see tlic red-coats, I’ll hid them
good-bye,
Though I’m General oflhc Fenians.
What fools they must lie to believe what
1 say!
But they’ll see what I'll do when I get in a
fray:
Faith ! I’ll jump in the coach and get out
of the way.
Though I'tn General of tlic Feuiaus
My Newspaper.
Who can estimate the vnluo of a .
newspaper? No one, until lie has it— I
until the pleasant periodical visits,
like the face of a dear friend, bringing |
suck a fund of wit, news and general
intelligence that it is always greeted
with a hearty welcome, are withdrawn.
It is, in one sense, the light of the
world—without which the mental
universe would lie as much in dark
ness ns the terrestinl world without
the sun.
There arc books, it is trite, good,
wise, instructive mid entertaining;
but they do not tell us what we want
to know of passing events, or direct
us to the best places of business.
Neither tio they inform us who of our
friends are passing nwav or getting
married, or "'ho lias sailed for the
eastern continent, or who has returned
from a tour thither, etc.
I did not think of this until I had
formed the foolisli resolve not to take
the paper another year. The pressure
of the times was severe, business dull,
my family expensive, and it really
seemed necessary to retrench some
where at the end of the year. So ]
thought as I sat alone one evening,
in dressing-gown and slippers, with
my feet upon the fender. 1 had my
last paper in my hand, which I
perused with a greater degree of in
terest than ever before ; it may be be
cause 1 resolved to part with it.
“ I say,” said 1 to my w ife, “it
won’t do; we must curtail our expen
ses, and I w ill begin by withdrawing
my advertisement from the paper and
ordering it discontinued. Taxes w ill
soon be due, which must lie paid;
wood is enormously high, hut we can’t
do without it—nor groceries nor pro
visions, nor lights nor clothing, or
many other incidental expenses. We
have plenty of books and magazines,
old to be sure, still they are readable,
and we must do without the paper for
the year to come.”
“It is only a few dollars a year,”
said my wife, quietly.
“1 know it,” l replied, “but every
dollar counts now-a-days.”
“ But do you not believe it will
have a tendency to render business
still more dull not to advertise?” she
.asked.
“ Nonsense! A place so well estab
lished needs not so questionable a
lever to help it on. Ido not stipupse
that it will make any difference, while
the cost of advertising amounts to
considerable,” 1 replied.
“ Hut what will you do for the
•news ?” site ventured again.
“ Oh, 1 can gel enough of that by
intercourse with others, and occasion
ally Inlying or borrowing a copy.”
“John Smith,” said my wife, now
Hilly aroused, “I am ashamed of you!
What! Too poor to take a paper
yourself, and yet willing to lileh infor
mation from others whose money is
paid for what they learn, and at the
same time defraud the honest publish
er, who is constantly laboring with
head and hands for others’ good,
j Talk about retrenchment—you had
better stop your bills at the saloon
1 for ale and cigars—needless expendi
tures for yourself alone, while your
newspaper is a perpetual intellectual
| feast for the whole family, yourself
i not excepted, and it costs but the
! merest trifle itt comparison with the
j money you spend every week for to
bacco and drink. Sou have not
i spoken of the increased prices of
j these articles. .Stop the paper, in
j deed!” Aml my wife jerked iter chair
up with not a very graceful movement,
and sat with Iter back toward me in
: utter contempt of my “ penny wise
and pound foolish resolution.”
Now, I make it a point ucver to
y ield to my wife or any of my family,
if Fean help it, as in ease I Should, I
would seem as a secondary consider
ation in my own family—a position I
by no means intend to occupy; so I
said nothing, but sat and pulled my
fragrant Havana, watching the grace
ful folds of smoke as they- wound
themselves in little wreaths about my
head. I resolved that, come what
would, I would not yield indulgence
in the delicious weed fer the sake of
a newspaper.
The next day I called on my pub
lisher, settled my accounts, and or
dered my paper discontinued.
“On what grounds ?” he asked, in
some surprise.
“ Nothing,” I said, “ I can’t afford
it,” and I walked away, leaving him
to his own reflections.
Time passed on ; the day on which
it was due I could not feel quite con
tented at the non-appearance of my
newspaper. I missed the cheerful
face of the little carrier, and the inter
esting news he was wont to bring on
tlie return of eaeli week, through fair
weather and foul. There were other
papers about, and I bought one occa
sionally, but they were published iu
large cities, and contained no local
news of my own home.
At night, when 1 reached home, my
eldest daughter," Mary, met me in tlic
Ml.
“Where is the paper, papa?” said
site. “ Oh, I am in such a hurry to see
it. Mattie Trueworth’s marriage is
iu it, aud the editor lias published
such an appropriate verse in connec
tion, I aut told.”
But 1 put her aside, saying, •'The
paper will not cotne miy more. I have
ordered it discontinued.”
“ Why, father,” she exclaimed,
“ how can we do without it ?”
“ We must learn to do without it,” ;
I replied, as I passed on to the sup
per room.
After supper, instead of reading to
my family, sometimes leading their
minds away off to other scenes and
distant regions, beautiful countries
that others have explored at great ex
pense and some risk of life; some
times to tlie fierce fields of blood and
carnage pictured so vividly that they
seemed before us, while we were safe
and comfortable in our little home ; or
singing over th& stray waifs of real
poetry, which often find their way into
the newspapers, touching a tender
chord iu every he: rt—’as 1 was wont to
do—l stretched myself upon the sofa
anti tried to sleep.
“Tommy,” whispered Mary, “run
over to Mr. Wild’s and see if you can
not borrow liis paper.”
But Tommy soon returned with the
answer that Mr. Wild was reading it
himself.
“Then go to Mr. Brown’s, and if
you can’t get his, go to Mr. Gates.”
But Tommy was not more successful
at either of these places. Mr. Brown
had taken his paper down town, and
Mr. Gates didn't like to lend his;
thought liis father took it. A disap
pointed sigh was Mary’s only answer.
“The particulars of that murder af
fair arc in the paper this week,” said
my wife, with a slight frown upon tier
brow, “and 1 would really like to see
it.”
“ And Minnie Milford's new story
was to cotne out in this week’s paper.
1 really wish I could borrow it some
where,” said Mary.
“ Here, Tommy,” said 1, taking five
cents from my pocket, “ run down to
the news office and buy a copy, if it’s
not too late, aud tlie publishing olliee
shut up.”
Tommy '-oon returned out of breath.
“ I’ve run enough after that old news
paper,” with just a speck of#.is fat It
er's spunk, “and I wont do it again.
The publishing office was closed, and
the news office had not a number left.
I would like to find out, though, when
that celebration is coming oil'. No
body knows for sure, but tlic paper,
is it in that, father 7 ” he added.
The minds of all as well as myself
were on the paper; but thoroughly
out of patience with myself and with
them, 1 exclaimed:
“I tell you 1 don't know anything
about it. Seems to me you are all
very much interested in the confoun
ded paper since you know it is slopped.
I don't want to hear another word
about if.” This put a quietus oil the
subject—at least fora time.
However, as time passed on, I be
gan to think that 1 had made very
little progress iu bettering iny con
dition, and that this “gathering infor
mation of current events by inter
course with others,” was a very unre
liable source. Every one gave a col
oring peculiarly his own, and every
one needs for himself to have a cor
rect idea of what is going on around
him.
Besides this, tny business from dull
became duller, and eventually dullest;
while neighbors across the way, with
| no better qualifications or faculties
I than myself, seemed to be doing a
| thriving business. Could it 1 e be
cause they advertised in the local pa
per—that which nobody took the
trouble to read ? Doubtful.
One day I met an old friend and
customer whom 1 had often wondered
what had become of, as well as some
others of his neighbors, who were once
good paying customers of mine.
“ How are you '/’’said he, giving me
his hand. “ How do you prosper?”
“Going down hill, ch v ”
“I hope not.” 1 replied, with a faint
smile.
“ Well, I see you have stopped ad
vertising, and 1 had supposed you
had closed out or smashed up; and as
I am usually in a hurry when I cotne
to town, I go where they advertise to
do work well and promptly. This is
why I have not seen you lately. Good
by, sir. If you are stiil in the busi
ness, let us see your card, and know
what you are doing.”
I began to think better of advertis
ing than I did before, and on my way
home I gave tlie publisher of the pa
per a call.
“ I begin to think,” said I, “‘bat I
began in the wrong direction to cur
tail expenses, and 1 was, indeed, pen
ny wise and pound foolish, when 1
withdrew my patronage. Our inter
ests are more intimately connected
than I could have believed, until I
made tlie expet intent.”
Thereupon 1 was again enrolled on
his list of subscribers, and a half
column devoted to my business. And
I freely confess 1 have no reason to
regret tlie expenditures. My old cus
tomers and many new ones begnn to
revive, and ere long I felt warranted
in the expenditure of securing an as
sistant.
My family was gratified at tlic ap
pearance of their old friend, the news
paper, and 1 am resolved that sooner
than part with it, I will give up ale
and cigars, which for me would be
quite a sacrifice, 1 prize more liighly
than ever my newspa|icr.

Wliucler’M torn— A Kncy Agri
cultural Joke on tlie War < liii<l.
Major Frank Foster, of Courtland, j
Ala., is responsible for the following
good one on Gen. Wheeler, of cavalry j
fame:
The great part of tlie General’s life j
having been devoted to the theory
and practice of war, his knowledge oft
agricultural pursuits is rather limited 1
and vngug. It was not until last
spring that lie acquired his first bucolic
experiences. At that time the rela
tions between the blacks and whites
iu the vicinity of Gourtjaad, were;
rattier unsettled, aud the latter had:
been suffering considerably front the
depredations of their dusky neighbors.
One morning, after Jack Frost had
quit tlie bosom of mother earth, and
preparations for the first jawing of
the season were in progress, the Gen
eral rode down to see wit at his hands
were about. In a fence-corner he
found a small knot <yf them, talking in
a low, suppressed tone, and with a
mysterious air that aroused the sus
picious of their employer.-*
As he approached, unobserved, he
overheard one of the darkies ask:
“ What dat you gwinc to do?” An
swer—“ I’se gwine to rtin de corn off
right away.” Chorus—“So is I.”
Putting spurs to his horse, the Gene
ral dasited at full speed hack to the
house, armed himself with a shot-gun
and brace of revolvers, aud returned
with equal haste to the field where the
conspiracy was being hatched. “ So,
you black scoundrels, ybtt’re*«s>mg to
run off tny corn, urjSyou? (Cocking
his double-barreled persuader*)* I’ll
blow to perdition the first rascal of
you that outers my crib.” -All this
with a fiery flash of the eye and grim
contraction of the facial muscles that
spread consternation dire among his
auditors. As tauow far the General’s
wrath might have carried-diim had
not a prompt and full explanation
followed, from a neighboring planter
who was standing by at the time, is
left by our informant to conjecture.
At any rate, after the General had
been sufficiently initiated into tlie
mysteries of the field to understand
tlftit “running off” corn applied sole
ly to plowing Hie squares at the an
gles of which the grain is planted, he
blushed perceptibly, laid aside liis
armory, and gracefully subsided,
lint the joke was too good to keep,
and still circulates, with tlie usual
additions and embellishments, among
liis North Alabama friends—Xiisli
rille Manner.
Internal Bkvksi e Decisions.—
“Parties using paper collars must use
them lVuinthooriginal package; that is,
from the box in which they have been
purchased ; and a three cent revenue
stamp must be attached to each one
when put on. When the eqllar be
comes soiled, and is turned with the
clean side out, it must revive another
three cent stamp, and must also be con
spicuously stamped with the word
‘turned.’ Boxes,when emptied, cannot
lie used a second time, blit must bo
destroyed in the room where emptied,
and tlie assessor furnished with a cer
tificate of fact. If thrown out at the
window, or carried out in the coal scut
tle or wash-tub, sty-h boxes will be .su!>-
ject to export duty.
“Bootblacks are required to use
their blacking just as they find it when
the box is opened, adding nothing
lo it whatever. The act of spitting
iu the box and smearing the contents
with tlie brush constitutes the boot
black a mixer, or rectifier, or manu
facture! of blacking, and he must pay
tlie ordinary manufacturer’s license.
Each boot blacked for which the sum
of five cents is paid by the wearer,
must receive, at theexpense of the boot
black. a four aud three-quarter cent
stamp.
“All Englishmen of tlie name of
Hale who are engaged iu the business
of .pronouncing the name without tlie
H, shall be considered manufacturers
of ale, nnd must pay the license re
quired of all brewers and distillers.
“Parties engaged in building castles
in the air with the proceeds of the
highest prize in future drawings of
the lottery, must be assessed twenty
per cent on the amount thus derived
and invested, which twenty |>er cent
shall be paid in gold.

The Castor Bean. —The Colum
bus (Miss.) Times says, tho first in
fonnation of the fact that the castor
bean planted around tlie borders, or
distributed at intervals of twenty or
thirty feet along tlie rows of a cotton
field, would protect the cotton from
the worms anti all other destructive
insects, was obtained from Prc^ Cßt4or
Gregory, and now, it adds, „. e j, ave

He says, plant the -Castor Bean all
around every ten acres of cotton
throughout the field, nnd not a worm
will touch it; or a still better plan
would be lo plant every few rows
throughout tlie field. If the bcanr
cannot lie gathered for market, then
would result no loss to the planter,
from tlie faet that the plant is one ol
the best fertilizers known, and the
field would be improved instead of in

crop, and it is but right that our plan

A tin cylinder on trunnions so a.

water ; in tiie space around them is
placed water and the salts of am

and the whole revolves ten minutes.
Upon removing the lid the water on
the inside of the moulds is frozen
in a tubular film. By slipping tin
smaller into the larger a cylinder ol
ice is formed. The water containing
ammonia is evaporated, and the salt/
when dry, may be used again and
ngain : ice is formed on a large
by this process. But a revolving
