PADDY'S VERSION OfEXCfeLSIOKV
’Twas growing dark so terrible fa-ht.
Whin through a town up tb« mountain there paahed
A broth of a boy, to his eeck in the snow,
Aa he walked, his shaln'ah he swung to and fro,
Baying, it s up to the top I'm bound for to go,
Be jabers!
lie looked mortal aad, and his eyea were as bright
Asa Are of turf on a cowld winter night.
And a divil a word that he aaid could ye tell,
Aa he opened his month and let out a yell.
It s up to the top of the mountain I’ll go,
Onless covered up with this bothersome sfcnow,
Be jabers I
Through the windows he aaw as he traveled along,
The light of the candles and Area so warm ;
But a big chunk of ice hung over his head ;
Wid a thnlvel and groan, by St Patrick 1 he aald;
h‘» *n M tk» »rr rif. I bill —-V.
And thin if it fhi s it’s hot meself it’ll crush,

Whist a bit! said an owld roan whose head was as white
As the shnow that fell down on that miserable night;
Shure, ye ll fall in the wathcr, me bit of a lad,
For the night is so dark and the walking so bad,
Bedadl he’d not lisht to a word that was said,
But he’d go till the top if he wint on his head,
Be jabers!
A bright buxom young girl, such as like to be kissed,
Axed him wudn’t he shtop, and how could he resist ?
80 snapping his Anger and winking his eye.
While shmiiing upon her, he made this reply ;
Faith, I meant to kape on till I got to the top.
But as your shwate self has axed me, I may as well shtop,
Be jabers I
He shtopped all night and he shtnpped all day,
And ye mustn't be axing when he did go away;
For wudn'the be a bastely gossoon

Tub New York World has this happily
conceived and admirable paragraph :
“if the Wandefing death-bed utterances
of tha two great Confederate Chieltainff,
Sron4»all' Jackson and R ibert E Lee,
may be considered as final upon the matter,
then the late Confederate General, A. P.
Ilill, who lost his life at the closing battie
of the war, must be accepted hy history, as
the most trusted coadjutor of these eminent
commanders. In his dying moments, Jack
Sots' exclaimed, “Send A. P- Hill to the
front r Upon his death-bed, at Lexington,
Gen. Lee, as telegraph states, his mind
revert ifrg to the bloody events ot the wa/,;
‘on-ie ordered his tent to be atruck. and,- at
ano'her time, desired Hill to be sent fid ’
Thus does it appear, that in the supreme
moments of the closing hours of those men
utiorr sfritfid-ers rested the
burdens of the War o?Vthe side of the Oon‘e<f
erady. Caine the uttefance, born ofdelirfu'nV,
bdt.’ mure aulemti sos that reason, tlVat
stamps Gen. A. V Dill a* a man whose
presence whs to bo de*ired, and fidelity was
assured. No higher compliment could be
paid to his memory than these parting
words of Lee and Jackson.’’
DIVERIFICATION iF FaHMINO InDI’STRT
The Coinmissto er of Agriculture, in a
tthent report, re*p *mtnend& that the farmers
of the country diversify its agriculture, a>*
a means of c* rrecting irregularities now so
common. There are always exceptional
years, those in which some particular crop
will fail to a certain extent, Ctusing a scar
city and high prices High prices usually
stimulate over-prt.duction, and the conse
quence ib low prices for two nr years,
when the indlivtty ik dlrbcted into anew
channel, to run through a similar cycle.
Take the South as an illustration. Its in*
dustry has in the main b*en directed in one
channel, cotton. Its food had been proeur*
ed fr »m the North and West, while the bulk
*hottld have been raised by the eide of the
c »rton. The South would be stronger, more
independent, to diversify its agricultural
labor. At Ute West, tnere are sections
where corn is the exclusive crop, others
vrhprp thfLsame is trub of wheat. Now if
there were more discrimination in the mat
ter, the farmers in the long run would he
the gainer. Prices *nuld be more regular
and tnere would not be half the opportunity
for speculation that exists now. A variety
of crops will equalise production year b)
year ; if in one season one product is scarce,
there will be something to take is p ace.
Agriculture to be successful, neSdA ii dis*

In an article on “Conventions”—their
ohjects and effects and the duty of sustain
ing the nominees of such, at this time espec
ially, the Lynchburg Nows, after stating
that no axiom in party contests is more
firmly establi.-hed than that the ruuhing of
independent candidates in opposition to the
nominee of a Convention, tends Uniformly
to weaken and disorganise thatp*lft), says:
“If nominations are made by Convention,
let eubh nominations really reflect the
ftlshbs of the people, and let no man pre*
fcume to control by trickery and fraud the
selection of a candidate. A nomination
fairly na le by representatives of the peo
ple will certainly come as near indicating
the popular wishes as one nominated by
bitnself, and running as an “Independent
candidate.” And especially would we urge
the inconsistency of objecting to the candi
dete of a Convention when we ourselves
refused to attend or takV part in its deliber
ations. If we have not felt sufficient
interest in the rrtatter to perform this trifling
service, wte shoilld not complain of those
who have attended and made the nomina
tion.”
An Eloquent Speech —General Henry
R. jMckaon, of Savannah, one of the mo<-t
eloquent orators of Georgia, thus spoke of
Lee at the honors to Lee’s memory at Sa
vannah :
Mr. Chairman : I can conceive that there
have been, nay, sir, that there are, speakers
competent to meet an occasion like this I,
air am no* of that nnmhar Pm»fa innum
erable have sung of the Pleiad lost from the
sky, but he must indeed h <ve been a bold
master who could have struck his lyre in
the first dirrkening of univfersal nature.
Poets may sing and orators speak to the
memory of a great sorrow, hut in its birth
that sorrow must speak for itself. The toll
ing of bells, the bush of business, the
silence of this vast concourse; are the true
eloquence of an nccassion like th’s. I will
not mar it by the utteraf.ee of impotent
words.
The Poor Man's Appeal —l ask the
Government to let me have an equal chance

and Ikm poor. I wish to buy where I can

sh-uld the Government force me to doit?
The dit!ereiio<» t.<»r«-*>»'• c -° ,i,,u e, ~ nt CCT,VB
is very small. Why. moke a fuss about
that? Just because it is the difference be
tween five and eight hundred dollars —my
yearly salary. I have to pay a proportion
al amount lor everything I buy. At the
end of the year, with free trade, 1 have
tftiefe hundred dollars b ft. Under the high
tariff protective scheme of Radicals, the r ch
manufacturer has the three hundred dollars,
and lam without a cent. Hence I appeal
to the Goverment to let us both alone. Give
me an equal chance is all I ask.

1000 children are taught the Bible.

That any citisen shall be debarred from
asserting his rights before a court of justice
is not in the spirit of our institutions.
That body should not attempt to establish
its temporal jurisdiction within the territory
of the United States. It was a treasonable
affair, and we look for the government to
take prorfipt and severe measures to clip
this church rebellion in the bud.

Ne# Xnd Strange Sfccf.— Macnpin, Pas

over a rtfcw sect, called “Jchofvah’e Band,”
which pretends to be allied to the Methodist
Church. The Newark Courier thus de
scribes it;
'their tot id dt worship develops itself in
pulling, blowing, whistling, shouting,
jumping, wrestling, falling to tho floor,
and rolling over and kicking. Both women
and men engage in the exercises. Baptism
is by immersion in the village mill pond, at
the dead honr of the night. 6n Sunday
they hold Con tin nods services, and take a
recess for meals only, refusing to r3ad it
newspaper, or even to receive a letter on
that day. John Rinesmitb, a wealthy and
well-to-do farmer of the neighborhood, is
the chief man of the band, and recently
bad his house rebuilt especially to accom
modate the brethren; one room resting ou
strong beams, stands the jumping; but
about a month ago an ardent member, in
a paroxysm of fanaticism, declared that ha
felt as light as air, and even though ba
