Anecdote of the laltler llontli.
Mr. lilihu Buiritt contribute!) to tlio
February number of Packard’s Monthly
on interesting article under the title of
“Ereathing a Living Soul into Dead;
Words,’’ in which the following anecdote
is told of the elder IJuotli :
“The elder Booth was a man who:
threw into his timpetßOnations an a
mount of heart and soul which his origin
als could scarcely have equalled. Ife
did Richard 111. to the life and more.—
lie had made human passions, emotions
and experiences his life’s study, lie
could not only act but feel rage, levy,
despair, hate, ambition fury hope and re
venge with a depth and force that half
amazed his auditors. He could trans
mute himself into the hero of his imper
sonation, and he could breathe a power
into other men’s written words which
perhaps was never surpassed. And
w hat is rather remarkable, when he was
inclined to give illustrations of his faeul
ty to private circles of friends he nearly
always selected some passages from Job
David, Isaiah, or other holy men of old.
When an aspiring young professor of
Harvard University went to him by
night to ask a lit le advice or instruction ;
in qualifying himself for an orator, the
veteran tragedian opened (he Bible and ,
read a few verses from Isaiah, in a way
that made the Cambridge scholar trem
ble with awe as if the prophet had ris -i
cn front the dead and wire uttering hia
sublime Unions in his ears. He was
-thou residing in Baltimore and a pious
urbane old gentleman of that city', hear
ing of his wonderful power of elocution ;
one day invited him to dinner although
♦strongly deprecating the stage and an
theatrical performances.
“A large company sat down to the
table, and oh returning to the drawing
room one of them requested Booth, as a
t pecial favor to them all to repeat the
Lord's prayer. Ho signified his willing ,
liens to gratify them and all eves were
fixed upon him. lie slowly and reveren
tially arose from ids chair trembling j
with the burden of two great concep
tions. He had to realize tno character,
nit til ntes and presence of the Almighty
Being he was to address. lie was to
transform himself into a poor, sinning,
stumbling benighted, needy suppliant,
offering homage, asking bread, pardon,
light and guidance. Says one of thel
company present : It was wonderful
to watch the play of emotions that con
vulsed his countenance. He became
deathly pale, and his eyes turned tremb
lingly upwards were wet with tears. —
As yet he had not spoken. The silence
could be felt; it had become absolutely
painful until at last the spell was broken
as .if by an electric shock as his rich ton
ed voice from white lips syallabled forth
“Our Father which art in Heaven,” Ac.,
with a pathos and fervid solemnity that
thrilled all hearts. lie finished; the si
lence continued; not a voice was beard
nor a muscle moved in his rapt audic*nco
until from a remote corner of the room a
subdued sob was heard, arid the old gen
tleman (the host) stepped forward with
streaming eyes and tottering frame and
seized Booth by the hand. “Sir,’ said he
in broken accents, ‘you have afforded me
u pleasure lor which ray whole future life
will feci grateful. lam an old man, and
every day from boyhood to the present
I thought I had repeated the Lord’s Pray
er ; but I never heard it before; never.
••You are right,’ replied Booth. ‘To
read that prayer as it should he read
caused me the severest study and labor
for thirty years, and I am far from being
satisfied with my rendering of that won
derful production. Hardly one person
in ten thousand comprehends how much
Beauty tenderness and grandeur can be
condensed i t a space so small and
in words so simple. That prayer itself
sufficiently illustrates the truth of the
Bible and stamps upon it the seal of di
viniiv.’ 'iio great was the effect produc
ei says onr informant that conversation
was sustained but a short tirao longer rti
monosyllables and almost entirely ceas
ed ; and soon after at an early hour the
company broke tip an", retired to tacit
several Minn a with ead faces and full
hearts.

“Tell the Boys I’m Coming Soon ”
j BY J. AVCUSTIVE StOVIAdo.
I was just well enough to leave the hospital to
report to ray command. In pasaingout 1 fitop
| peil to bid a sick comrade adieu. 1 found the
| poor fellow was dying. He took my hand in his
! and with a last effort, whispered : “Tell the boys
1 I'm coming soon'.'' -Letter/mm Atlanta 1864 ]
j Where a hundred sick and dying
Groaned in agony and pain,
While the whirring shells were flying
I Fust as comes the pelting-vain;
Was a si.Riier quickly straying,
into death's remorseless swoon,
Still lie woke up firmly saying
■•Tell the boys I'm eounng soon!’’
Did yon hear it not.’ the rattle
Os the canister— the crash!
Hear the furious peals of battle,
j .See the cannon’s lightning tlusli?
God of Heaven! my bosom swelling,
Beating to llm bullet's tune,
Listen to their distant yelling
••Tell the boys I'm coming soon l' 1
Have they fought another battle?
I must be with them- 1 must 1
God ' them's music in its rattle
As the foemen bile the dust!
Tell the boys to strike for freedom !
'Tin of Heaven the prime les, boon ;
Toil the freeman that we need 'em
-Tell the be.' . I'm coming soon
Fas*, tiie si.ldioanmv was sinkiag.
Like the setting of the day;
Still his mind was dreaming thinking,
Os the boys who wore the gray;
And with oiie strong effort sighing,
l ire he tell ill death's last swoon,
Sfill he said as lie was dying
“Tell tlio boys I'm coming soon !
Coining quickly, coming blandly,
Rising up beyond the skies,
Marching onward, marching grandly,
To the gates of Paradise !
Tell the dead wlufive gone before him
lie has won the holy boon ;
Toll tile saints who still watch o’er him,
Tell all Heaven lie's coining soon!
Education for Farmers.
It is a great mistake to suppose that
farmers <!o not need to be educated.-
Progress is sure in this direction as in
all others, but it seems slow. The farm
er without an education sinks to a more
drudge and can never hope to attain an
equal position in society with other pro
fessions; and la: may boast as ho will,
but l.e cannot make his farm produce
like the intelligent well read man as he
; studies agriculture as a science.
The uneducated farmer wonders why
his sons and daughters are so anxious
to leave the farm lo choose other occu
patioffs. The reason my friend is obvi
ous; Ur your sons cannot plod on with t
yon. if yon persist in keeping them a cen j
titt y behind the times. Young men and
women of all trades and proLssi ms arc
perfecting themselves in their various
callings—attending scientific lectures,
reading somnific books, studying im
provement in every department of labor j
and mark their progress in respectability;
usefulness and work.
To the intelligent gentleman the farm ;
holds out far more delightful induce-1
ments than any trade, lie enters the j
profession with a di sire and determina- j
Don to elevate it, and ho succeeds, 100,
just in proportion to his general culture.
Opportunities for agricultural training;
are opening over the whole country and j
parents would do well to place in the i
hands of the ; r sons scientific books and |
papers if they wish them to remain on j
the farm; also give them an opportunity j
to attend a course of lectures on agricul!
til re.
Your children would soon look with '
altered eyes upon the farm life; and what,
a different aspect would many a farm
house wear. Throw about your cliil-i
dreu all those ltelf sand encouragements;
to service —so reasonable so delightful,
oo profitable—if you would have your
fat ms blossom like the rose, and your
homes and hearts bask in the sunshine of
happiness and prosperity.— Country Gen
tleman.

Corn Grown as Fodder.
Few of our farmers know the value of
corn grown as fodder. One of our farm
ers tells us that during the war when
provimler of all sorts became scarce, be
ing short he resorted to the expedient of
sowing thickly broadcast a field of be
tween four and five acres in corn, which
he cut and used as fodder. Sowing a
bout the 10th of April he was able to re
alize two crops, cured and fit for use be
fore corn came in, and that his stock
thrived and did well upon it, when he
had nothing else to give them. Well
cured sweet corn fodder is one of the
best feeds for milch cows that cau be
gi ven them. The stalks as well as the
blade is eaten with avidity, and is pro
ferred as any one may realize who will
make the test, for tlio simple reason that
it contains more saccharine matter than
other foragj. When fed as cut green it
is excellent food for milch cows and
will produce more milk, and richer milk,
and sweeter butter than any other given
food. When cut with the cutting knife,
and soaked in boiling water and mixed
with a small quantity of pea meal it;
makes the best winter food that can bo j
given a cow. Small farmers will find;
corn sown as fodder, to bo the most j
profitable crop so far as domestic com
fort and economy goes, that can bo rais
ed. Let a fanner once try a corn-fodder I
patch and lie will never he without it.— j

The Lawyer and an Irijlunaii.
Wi ilea number of lawyers and gen
tlemen were dining at Wiscassett, a few
days since a jolly soul from the Emerald
Isle appeared and called far dinner.
The landlord told him he should ditto
when the gentlemen were done.
“Let tiiin crowd among us,” wtiispered
a limb of the law, “and we will have
some fun with him.”
The Irishman took his scat at the
table.
“You were born in this country wore
you my friend ?”
“No sir, 1 was born in Ireland.”
“Is your father living?’
“No sir he is dead.”
“What is your occupation?”
“A horse jockey sir.”
"Did your fattier cheat any person
while ho was here?”
“1 suppose lie did cheat many, sir.”
“Where do you suppose he went to ?”
“To heaven sir.”
“And what do you s’poso he’s doing
there?”
“Trading horses sir,”
“lias he cheated any one there?'’
“He cheated one I believe, sir.”
“Why did they not prosecute him ?”
• “Because, they sen relied the 'whole
kingdom of heaven and eouldu t find ft

Criminal Trials in France. —One nev
er sees in the criminal prosecutions of
France barristers speaking now tor the
accused and now for the prosecution. —
Once enlisted in one of these contending
armies, a barrister is bound lot* life to
see and convict guilt in every case or
on the contraty to support and protect
innocence. Tnis is the result oi the gov
eriiineiital system of employing attorneys
fir life to serve ill all its courts. Each
I’rocuretir General of I’rneiireur Impe
rial is surrounded by a stall of lawyers
known as avocals generator or substi
tnts. These are wholly served from the
Bar, and unlisted for life in the public
service. It is from this class of iawyets
that the judges are chosen.
In Greenfield Saratoga county New
York recently an old lady and her two
daughters were married ai the same
time. The mother was a widow; the
first daughter was a widow oi two
! months and husband-a widower ot four
I months; the other was a miss of sweet
I seventeen and the espoused a man of a
: bout thirty years, who had recently ob
tained a divorce from a former wile.
An inquisitive young man visited the
Yew Jersey Slate I’risoti, the other day
'ami among other questions asked a girl
the cause of her being in such a place.—
Her answer was, “I stole a saw mill
and went back after the pond and was
arrested.”
\ negro after gazing at the Gh'uesc,
exclaimed, “If do white folks is as daik
as dat out dur, 1 wonder what’s de color
oh de niggers.”
A man being asked, as he lay sunning
himself in the grass, what was the
1 hciglith of bis ambition, replied: “lo
marry a rich widow with a bad cough.”
“They don’t make as good mirrors ns
they used to,” remarked an old maid as
she observed a pair of sunken eyes, a
I wrinkled face, and lived complexion in
the glass that blie usually looked into,
