The Canteen.
Thoro aro bonds of all sorts in this world of
ours,
Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers,
And true-lover's knots I ween ;
The girl and tho boy are bound by a kiss,
But there's never a bond, old friend, like this
We have drunk fri m the same canteen !
It was sometimes water, and sometimes milk,
And sometimes apple jack fine as silk,
But whatever the tipple has been,
We shared it together, in bane, or bliss.
And I warm to you, friend, when I think of this
We have drunk from tho same canteen !
The rich and the great sit down to dine,
And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine
From glasses of crystal and green ;
But I guess in their golden potations they miss
The warmth of regard to be found in this
We have drunk from the same canteen !
We have shared our blankets and tonts together,
And have marched and fought la all kinds of
weather,
And hungry and full we havo been ;
Had days of battle and days of rest,
Bat this memory I cling to and love the bes:
We havo drunk from thc samo canteen!
But when wounded I lsy on the onter slope,
With my blood fiiwing fast, and but little hope
Upon which my faiut spirit could lean ;
Ob, then, I remember you crawled to my side,
And bleeding so fast it seemed both must have

Timely Hints for the Fall jHonlbs.
From the Maryland Farmer, for Ucto
ber,-a very valuable journal, devoted
to Agriculture, Horticulture, Rural Econ
omy and Mechanic Arts, and published
monthly by S. SANDS MILLS & Co., 3al
timore, Md., for $1,50 per annum,-we
cull the following hints, which our agri
cultural readers will do well to remember :
PLANTING OUT FUCIT ORCHARDS.-lu
preceding numbers of the Farmer we
have inculcated the propriety of planting
out a young orchard wherever one has
not been planted or the old one has died
out. We have so frequently given all
the requisite directions for planting that
a repetition here is useless. One or two
suggestions may not, however, come
amiss. Make the holes wide and de<-p,
preserve the top soil for the roots-cart
away the subsoil and fill up with rich
earth drawn from any available source
and mixed with a small quantity of lime.
Do not plant deeper than the crown of
the roots, and in choosing tieet se'.-ct only
fruits of the best quality.
BARM YARD COMPOSTS.-No time should
now bc lost in forming composts either in
the barn yard or the field. The propor
tion of barn yard manure to rough vege
table fibre, marsh muck, woods' earth,
scrapings of roads and ditches, the turf
of hedge rows, ?cc, eec, is as one to three
-that is to say, one load of barn yard
manure to three loads of composting ma
terial. In making up the compost heap,
layer by layer, lot the lower layers of
barn yard manure bc the heaviest, grad
uating olf the thickness of each layer as
the heap increases in height. When fer
mentation sets in watch it closely-try
the heat " . thrusting a stick down into it,
and as soon as thc fermentation commen
ces to expend its force, break down th?:
bea;)-mix the materials well together,
and let it stand ready to cart out into the
lield. If th1 heap is made in the lirld,
cover it well with earth, at tho top and
sides, to moderate the fermentation pro
cess and preserve the gases.
CATTLK SHEDS.-Provide thc callie
with good warm sheds for protection
throughout the winter. Cattle so housed
will require lunch less food and will g<>
through the inclement seasou with ordiua
ry care in fine health and condition.
WET LAND?.-If there are low moist
meadows to be drained the fall season is
the best to do it in. Even the most natu
rally fertile meadows fail to bring g> od
crops of the valuable grasses if they .tre
wet and springy. Let them therefore 1 c
ditched and drained so as to carry oil' ?he |
surplus water. See in stoning the drains
that Ui'.* stones composing them arc placed
below tho reach of tho plough,
FENCES.-See that these are in gc od
order, and wherever they show signs of
dilapidation, let all the necessary repairs j
be at once made.
FALL PLOUGHING.-Strong stifF clays
arc improved by ploughing them deeply in
the Fall of the year, and suffering the fur
rows to lie rough throughout the winier,
so as to expose the largest amount of soil
to the ameliorating ?md disintegrating
effects of the frost. Under no circum
stances, however, should such soils be
ploughed when, they are wet. Where
they are sufficiently dry to crumble before
the plough, seize at once the opportun.ty
for breaking them up.
EGGS IN WINTER.-Give the manufac
turers materials lo make them with, and
a comfortable [dace to walk in. Let the
eggless say what they will, we know what
we assert, that it is perfectly feasible to
keep the hens laying ali the winter. Give
them animal food to supply thc place of
insects they catch in hummer, and let
them have a warm place to run into, with
plenty of unfrozen water, not snow, and
a frequent taste of green food, such a3
cabbage leaves, potatoes, &c, and re
member to supply gravel for their grind
ing mill, and lime to make shells out of,
and wo will Warrant the animals to repay
all the care and food, in nice plump eggs
no matter what the particular breed may
be. Try it.
A hen without some kind of meat, and
gravel, and lime, compelled to eat snow
for winer or go without, cannot make
eggs. If she has to keep constantly changing
irom standing on one loot to the other to
keep both from freezing, she can't stop to
to think about getting up eggs, if all
she eats and can digest, must bc expended
in keeping the heat of her body, she hasn't
room outside for an egg of i espectable
size, and though her instincts may some
times induce her to produce a thin-sliclled
li pullet's egg" at thc expense of lime in
her bones, her pride revolts against such
a dwarfed production, and she seldom
furnishes beyond two or three.
Give madame hen thc odd bits of fresh
meat, and, the other fixings named above,
not forgetting the water, and make her
quarters so free ftorn cold air holes that
she is comfortable, and she can't help
giving attention to her natural occupation
of manufacturing eggs, much to h(
satisfaction, and the profit of her c

Salt and Ashes as a Manure
Statement of facts with regard I
plication of salt to land as a man un
In 1852, ? purchased 25 bushels
salt which fell from bacon which
stored in Atlanta, at a cost of 15
per bushel. 1 mixed it with all th
leached ashes that could be collecte
the lot-the ordinary quantity whit
cumulates during the year on a tow
This I spread broadcast over eight
of thin, course, sandy soil, badly wot
continued cultivation, but which ha
previous years manure applied in
hill.
My recollection is, that ashes, sall
all, made about 8 bushels per acre,
piece (of 8 acres,) I planted in cor
feet each way, one stalk to the hill,
ring its growth, it was frequently no
by persons who knew nothing of
was done to the land, on account of
deep green color of the corn. Many r
lions were asked about it. The seu
I think were good. I gathered from t
eight acres fifteen large two horse wt
loads of corn in the shuck-equal, I
posed, to about 30 bushels per acre.
Again, in 1853 or '4, 1 planted ano
?.piece of land, on the opposite side ol
road, somewhat thinner than the e
acres described above. This land
laid ofT 5 feet apart. In those row
drilled the same mixture of old leac
ashes and salt, at about the same rate
acre. The green appearance of the c
while growing, and tho great height
which the stalks grew, was still more
markable, and attracted more notice
more frequent remarks. 1 did not ]
any particular attention to the gather
of this crop, and cannot say how mite
made per acre. Hut of one thing th
can be no doubt, the product was vas
increased by the application. X
Sow Oats.
Thc com crops having failed in mn
localities, it is all ?mp? nant that Plant
take the necessary steps to provide ft
for their working animals, when the ct
gives out. For this purpose oats aro I
best, as they are the earliest grain gro
and, if properly managed, yield a go
return. We therefore advise all, w
can, to sow a crop of winter oats. ?
black oat is the best kind fur this pt
pose, as they are not so li ble to be w
ter killed as the white. Sow in co
ground, the earlier after the first week
September the better ; Oct. or Nov. will
very well, however. If theground is ii
poveri>hed give it a li ?ht sprinkling
short manure, harrow the ground ov<
Sow from one to one .md a half bushels
the aero, put it in with the shovel j?lon?
and roll the ground with a heavy rolle
Do not negUc* ?o make water furrow
which are easily run willi a tarni)
plough, to drain off the s?rtat e water.
Ju some, localities winter oats are a
to freeze out; when that is the case, tl
sowing should not be d"tie till in ll
spring. It should however, be recoll?e
ed, that thc earlier in the. Spring ar
Fall this grain is sown I he heavier t'
crop will be. Oats ought, never to 1
harvested until ripe. IC cut green, tl
grain will be shrivilled, very light, ai
rea! y not better than cheal.
The best way lo feed oats to wot
horses is to cut the sheaves, unthrashei
in a culling box, put bran, shorts or coi
meal willi them, wet thc whole 'willi
small quantity of water. Care must li
taken thai neiihcr too much or too litll
water is used. If too little water, ll
meal does not mix well with (he cul. oat:
if too much the feed is apt to sour. Som
have the. oats ground and mixed with ci
hay ; this however, is not to be recen
mended, ns the miller'receives the mo;
! non rahing portion of the feed, very mue
1 to the disadvantage nf the animals.
Fruit Culture*
Strawberry beds may be planted th;
month, avd the peach budded, if the bar
will slip. If you intend enlarging you
orchard, begin to prepare th a ground thi
month. If your soil is inclined to wasl
throw up banks high enough to retain th
water, using a level for the purpose. Ii
our climate, we generally need all th
rain that falls during the summer, and i
permitted to wash, no soil long retain
its fertility. On these terraces, the fmt
trees may bc set in the deep soil, neal
the edge, which if it is made sufficient!-,
high to retain the water, it will not re
quire much additional 'digging to form .*
basis deep enough for the tree. The re
maining part of thc terrace can be trench
plowed and prepared at leisure. These
terraces may be made with a very slight
slope to a surface drain at one eu'3, tn
carry off thc water, in case of a flooding
rain. The edge should be made so high
: as to never overflow. If trees are set on
level ground, a strip of soil beneath them,
some eight feet wide, should be thorough
' ly prepared, by subsoiling or trenching.
' In these operations, always leave the most
j fertile and friable earth near the surf ice
; in contact with the roots of thc tree.
! After the trees arc set, thc rest of the
? soil can be prepared at leisure.
Fruit trees do finely on terraced hill
J sides. Set out your trees the latter part
i of November, as they then throw out
! young rootlets, and get established before
spring-making almost a year's difference
in the growth. Give out now your orders
for fruit trees, as you will be more likely
to get the kind you wish, and trees now
secured, are better grown than those left
over until towards spring. Look over
the stocks budded during the summer,
and remove the shoots that threaten to
impoverish them by exhausting their
share of tho sap.

To MAKK COWS GIVE MILK.-A writer
who says his cow gives all the milk that
is wanted in a family of eight persons,
and from which was made two hundred
and sixty pounds of butter thc year, gives
the following as his treatment. It is cheap
and worth at least a trial :
If you desire to get a large yield of
rich milk, give your cows three times a
day, water slightly warm, slightly salted,
in which "bran has been stirred at the rate
of one quart to two gallons of water.
You will find, if you have not tried this
daily practice, that your cow will give
twenty-five per cent, more milk immedi
ately under the effect of it, and she will
become so attached to the diet as to re
fuse to drink clear water unless very
thirsty, but this messshe^U drink almost
at any ti nie and ask li'Jj&ore.^ The
amount of this drink necessary is an or
dinary water pail full each time, morning,
noon and night. Your animal will then
do her best at discounting the lacteal.
Four hundred pounds of butter are often
obtained from good stock, and instances
are mentioned where the yield was even
at a higher figure.
-? ?
A WORD TO COTTON PLANTERS.-Why
are you so parsimonious in the use of
bagging ? We daily see our great staple
brought to market in a condition that re
flects but little credit upon thc producer.?.
Bulging ends and gaping sides, admitting
dirt and moisture, detract from its ap
pearance and diminish its value. You
are more than repaid for the bagging re
quired, and it is a false economy und a
prodigal thrift to p;it up cotton in the
usual manner. Try the experiment, and
see if you do not obt lin a bettor price by
following our advice -Chester Standard
OCT One quart of net.t foot oil, four
ounces of beef tallow, and three table
spoonsfull of lampblack-with fourounces
of beeswax for summer use-is room
mended as a superior mixture for the pur
pose of oiling harness.
Welcome (0 Congress.
The following card has been issued,
and is most extraordinary. It shows the
desperate de -?gus of the radicals :
Being profoundly impressed with the
importance of the struggle through which
the country is pa-sing, and of the necessi
ty of preserving the results gained by its
triumphs in the field, and more rec? ntl)
at the polls, thc undersigtcd, a commit
tee appointed by the Soldiers and Sailor.-?
of Washington, D. C., do in their name
earnestly invite their comrades, the loyal
veterans of the republic, Mith all other
friends of the great cause cf Union and
liberty, to meet in a national mass wel
come and council, to be held in this, the
Federal capital, on Saturdiy, December
the 1st, proximo.
We ask your presence tohonor and as
sure protection io the loyal majority in
the thirty-ninth Congress, in whom we re
cognize faithful guardians of our assailed
institutions and able supporters of the
principles involved.
Come in your might. B/ your pres
(.tu c, show how sternly loyalty can rebuke
treason. Trove thereby tint the iii rent?
and insults of a treacherous Executive
against the legislative braiiea of the Gov
ernment cannot intimidate 1 free people.
Here in thc Fedeial capital must our
great struggle culminate lu wisc and
equitable legislation. Mere, then, should
we assemble to encourage and strength
en Congress-to whose hands the Con
stitution wisely entrusts thc power-to
imch just action as will make peace per
manent and libertv universal.

The National Intelligencer is {pained to
lear?, from many sources of reliable in
formation, thal the above call looks to
the establishment in Washington, cn per
manence, ol'au organized fold?, to be sub
ject to the orders of Congress. What
they may be, and what disastrous calami
ties impend over our beloved country,
Heaven only knows. But the ferocious
counsels of Butler, Wade, Furney and
others may be carried out by the "sword
smoking with bloody execution." lt is,
indeed, a sad looking forward for patriots
from ftll sections of the country. God
rules over all, however, ?nd in Him let
us trust.
There can be no doubt but that a revo
lutionary movement is contemplated by
thc above call. President Johnson, we
have no doubt, will be prepared for any
coup (Fe tu I they may intend; but these
continued plots, now growing bolder
every day, bode no good to the peace
and prosperity of the country. Their
recent victories seem to have inspired
the radicals with new confidence, and it
need not surprise the country, if we are
plunged into a civil war, from the inordi
nate desire of the Jacobins to rule or
ruin. The salvation of the country, tin
der God, must depend on the wisdom
and conservatism of the American people.
If they do not rouse in time, the United
States must present thc most magnificent
wreck of a free Government the world
ever saw. Thc problem of self-govern
ment will then be effectually solved, and
the trials of R&publican Government be
quenched forever.- Phoenix.

THE REBEIA CHEER'A FEDERAL SOL
DIER.-At a recent tournament in Tus
cumbia, Alabama, the prize was won by
an ex-officer of the Federal army. The
Huntsville Independent thus describes the
manner in whjch his victory was receiv
ed: The thickest ice muss melt. Cheer
burst forth for the knightly victor. The
judges, the president, Genend Forrest,
and K. and Q. said hurrah for him and
took him by the hands.. The silver spurs
were his-there was not a dissenting
voice. And just here wc have the plea
sure of recording an impromptu act by
the off-hand knight, which doe3 credit to
the heart. -Through Gen. Forrest he an
nounced to thc crowd that the spurs were
offered as a present to tho association for
the cause of sepulture to the Confederate
dead. Well done, son of the North. You
fought for your side in the war, we for
ours. You are a piece man now, and no
one can say you have not acted the gen
tleman throughout, and at times when
one's patience would be sorely tried.
A colored cook expecting company of

Tribute to Jeff. Davis.
The Daily Index, of Petersburg, Va.,
?jets oft" the following tribute to Jeff. Da
vis. Certainly thc " measure of his am
bition" must be as full as that of Mr.
Johnson :
When the smoke and dust of this con
lict shall clear away, and the record of
;he great assize of history be made up,
md the sentence pronounced on this most
itupendous struggle fur nationality, there
Aili stand forth no figure so sublime as
hat of this gallant soldier, brilliant orator,
?agacious statesman, and Christian gentle
nan, bereft of every earthly possession
?hut out from all converse with thc hu
nan family, guarded by mutes, jailored
>y a tyrant, accused by an assassin, trem
)lingwith paralysis, blind, manacled, tor
tired with an ingenious cruelty, which
lenied him sleep, with a brutal mob of
nillions clamoring for his blood, yet
aim, defiant, and undaunted, asking no
rivor of thc best, and no guard against
he worst, save a public trial tn the courts
if his foes.
Lile has bern allotted to him well nigh
o the verge of his three score years
loners have poured on him for more than
alf his life, filling full the measure of
bnerican fame. Yet were his life to
?val the ages of the patriarchs, and his
onors to double the glories of the illus
rious son of David, the bright particular
ear of his history would be that in
.'hich, a chained captive, the last victim
f a lost cause, he raised his voice in per
etual claim for no favor of twenty mil
ion of enemies, but justice.
A feeble tongue, it may be, that makes
ic appeal, but the cry pierces the triple
.on of his dungeon, pierces the massive
.alls of his Bastilc, drowns the multitudi
ous roar of the neighboring sea, rises
bove the victorious nation's poans, and
fallen nation's will, and will go "sound
lg down the ages," to assure thc world
lat the virtue men call ftoman, and the
ourage they call Spartan, died neither
n the Tiber nor the Eutotas.
SAD AFFAIR.-The M icon Telegraph
ives an account of the shooting of a
oung man named Lewis Bronson, under
id and singular circumstances Bronson.
.?th two other young men, were seated
>gcthcr, when one of thom ottered to
?ll the other his pistol. The weapon
as produced and examined, but there
einga disagreement ns to price, Bronson
?iked to sec the weapon, and it was bond
el to him.
In examining it, he held the muzzle to
?ftids the owner of t.ic weapon, who rc
larked to him it he wanted tu point it at
ny one be hal better dirict it against
?in self.
No sooner had this remark been made
ian Bronson placed thc muzzle against
is r??:ht temple, and asked, in a jocular
tanner, ?ts thc yoting men thought,
Shall I pull the trigger 1" Ile was an
gered that if he did. he was a dead man,
hen just at that moment, the pistol (ired,
ie ball entering his skull, causing his
eath in a few" moments. Jt is said that
e had previously made two attempts to
ill himself, and therefore the act was be
eved to have been voluntary.
DttiVES TO DESPERATION.-The Boston

A worthy old farmer, residing in the
vicinity of Lake Mahopeck, was worried
o death last summer by boarders. They
bund fault with his table and said he had
lothing to eat.
" Dang it," said old Isaac, one day,
' what a fuss you're making. I .can cat
inything."
" Can you cat a crow ?" said one of the
jonrders.
<; Yes, I ken cat a crow !"
11 Bet you a hat," said thc guest.
Thc bet was made, the crow caught
md nicely roasted, but before serving up
hey contrived to season \i with a good
lose of Scotch snuff. Isaac sat down to
he crow. Ile took a good bite, and be
jan to chew away.
" Yes, I ken eat crow ! (another bite,
md an awful face.) I ken cat crow; but
'll be darned if I hanker arter it!"
A gentleman sent his Irish servant up
X) his room for a pair of boots, and at
;he same time told him to be sure and
jet mates, as there were two pairs to
gether in the closet. Patrick returned
Arith two boots but odd ones. 41 Why,
lont you see that these are not alike?
One is a long top, and the other is a
short one !" said the gentleman out of
patience with the fellow. " Bedad, your
lionor," said Pat, in apology, " and it's
true for ye, but thin the other pair was
just so too."
An Irish footman having carried a bas
ket of game from his master to a friend,
waited a considerable time for the custo
mary fee, not finding it likely to appear,
scratched his head, and said, " Sir, if my
master should say, "Paddy, what did
tho gentleman give you?" what would
your honor have me to tell him ?"
