North Carolina State troop, and then in the Confederate States service. "I am the proprietor of this hotel," replied the bustling little hotel keeper of an establishment between this city and Richmond. "What can I do for you ?" "What do you ax for a bed ?" asked the soldier. "Seven dollars, sir," responded the gentleman addressed. "Only seven dollars, yer say. Well, that is cheap; dog cheap; dog gone ef it ain't. Here's a Confederate five and there's a two; it'sall fight, ain't it, mister?" "Certainly, sir," replied Boniface, "it is perfectly correct." "Yon hearn him, didn't you Jeems?" said the military gentleman, addressing one of his companions. "I hearn him," was the response. "Andyou hearn him, too, didn'tyer Ike?" inquired he of another. "In course I did," was the reply, "I 'spect its between you." "That's a blessin', any how," said the soldier. "And now mister, if you'd only traveled as far as I hev, you would-want to sleep mighty sudden." "Certainly, sir, all right sir," exclaimed the landlord, as he proceeded to direct a servant to show the gentleman his apartment. The soldier evidently slept soundly; but very early in the morning he might have been seen descending the stairs, with the matrem upon which he had slept, carefully tied ip and slung over his shoulder. He had not proceeded far, however, before#he was met by the astonished landlord, who indignantly demanded to know what he was going to do with that bed. "Gwine to take it out for the regiment," coolly remarked the soldier. " xou are, are you ?" roared the exasperated landlord; "how dare you carry off my property in that manner ?" "Your property! Well, I like that.? Didn't I give you seven dollars for this here bed only last night, and didh't two of ' " " t ? 9 Vn,? nrnnAr. OUT ieiiows near tuc uouo . j.VU4 |?vr? ty, eh!" "The seven dollars you paid me was for your lodging," said the proprietor, growing somewhat irate as he spoke. "Nary lodgin,' ef I Know it," responded the soldier. "I aied you what you axed for a bed, and paid yer own price, and accordin' to the natur of a trade the bed's mine." . ' Well, sir," interrupted the angry host, "and what do you ask for your bed ? I want -it." "Now yer talkin," replied North Carolina, as he dumped the bed upon the floor and carelessly threw himself upon it. "I want to be reasonable, and being its you, I'll let you have the bed for fifteen dollars." "Fifteen dollars!" gasped the landlord. "Jest so," quietly remarked the soldier, "if a man don't make one hundred per cent., durn me ef he can pay hotel expenses." The landlord paid the money, and probahly avoided sppnnl^ing in future with any of the North Carolina troops. Montgomery Advertiser. ANECDOTE OF MARTIN VAN BUREN. Coming down on the upper deck of an Albany steamer one day, a party of gentlemen, as the boat neared Kinderhook landing, were discussing the merits of Mr. Martin Van Buren. Some praised, others condemed him; and while they were discussing the question, the boat landed, and, lo! Mr. Van Buren himself came on board. One of the party had been dwelling upon his non-committalism, and complaining that a "plain answer to a plain question was never yet elicited from him." "I'll wager champagne for the company," added he, "that one of us shall go down to the cabin and ask Mr. Van Buren the simplest question which can be thought of, and he will evade a direct answer." "Yes, and he is to tell Mr. Van Buren why he asks the question, on/1 that, there is a bet deDendincr on his reply." This seemed fair enough. One of the party was deputed to go down and try the experiment. He found Mr. Van Buren, whom he knew very well, in the saloon, and said to him: "Mr, Yan Buren, some gentlemen on the upper deck have been accusing you of non-committalism, and have just laid & wager that you would not give a plain answer to the simplest question, and they deputed me to test the fact. Now, sir, allow me to ask you: 'Where does the sunrise?'" Mr. Van Buren's brow contracted; he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The terms East and West, sir, are conventional; but I "That'll do!" interrupted the interrogator; "we've lost the bet." A Touching Incident.?A young minister went out to preach, and observed during his discourse, a lady who seemed much affected. After meeting he concluded to pay her a visit, and see what the impressions of her mind were. He approached her thus: UlVnll tv?orlnm t ono WAn UMIQ nffoAtAfl II V/ll} lUOUUlll^ X ovv J vu II ??w WMVVVVV* | much to-day during preaching.?" "La me," said the lady. "I'll tell you. About six years ago, me and my husband moved to this place, and all the property we had was a donkey. Husband he died, and me and the beast were left alone. At last the beast died, and to tell you the truth, your voice put me so much in mind of that dear old critter, that I couldn't help taking on and crying about it right in meeting." A Little Story.?President Lincoln used to tell this story of himself. He was riding one day on the top of a stage coach in Illinois, when the driver asked him to treat. "I never use liquor," was Mr. Lincoln's reply, "and I cannot induce others to do ? >> hu. "Don't chew, neither?" "No, sir." "Nor smoke?" "No, sir; I never nse tobacco in any form." "Well," replied the disgusted Jehu, "I hain't got much opinion of fellers with no small vices; I've allers noticed they make it up in big ones." Distressed.?A clergyman seeing a man looking very pleasantly, said: "I feel distressed on your account." "Distressed !" aid the man, "why I am the happiest fellow in Pittsburg." That's what distresses me, to see you without Christ, losing heaven, on the way to hell, and yet happy." jlgriculhttal feprtwfnt. INDIAN CORN. One of the most interesting features of the recent report of the Agricultural Bureau is its statement with reference to the production of Indian corn in. the various States. By this report it is seen that while the general average of the whole crop' is unusually large this year, there is a decrease in several of the Northern and Western States, and counterbalancing increase in the Southern. This increase ranges in the South from ninety to upwards of one hundred per cent. This is important, as showing the changes of the production occasioned by the revolution in the system of labor at the South, owing to the war and the emancipation of the slaves. The slave cultivated cotton, rice and sugar, per forcp, for his master. The freedman cultivates corn for himself. The capitalist finds the cereal crop a quicker and more remunerative one under the present system, and though the former special staple may continue to be grown, there will be a vast and steady increase in the grain production of the South for the future, and we believe a corresponding increase in its commercial prosperity and enterprise. When it is considered that the average crop of corn in this country is more than double the aggregate amount of all the cereals put together, some estimate may be formed of the value of this staple to the districts capabale of producing it. The variations in this production during the last twenty-five years, in the different States, furnishes a suggestive theme for specula tion to the economist. In 1840, for instance, Tennessee was the greatest corn-producing State in the Union. In 1850 Ohio gained the lead. In 1860 Illinois took it. Kentucky was second, and Virginia third in 1840. In 1850 Illinois stepped ahead of both; in 1860 Missouri advanced to the third rank, leaving Virginia and Kentucky behind. Illinois now produces one seventh of all the corn raised in the States and Territories of the Union. In New England there has been a decrease in this production during the last ten years, averaging one bushel to each inhabitant ; and, even before the war, production of corn in the Southern States, in proportion to population, was ten times the amount of that grown in New England.

As baa health in parents transmits a tendency to disease in the offspring, it is important that every kind of animal we desire to continue on our farms should be kept vigorous and healthy. As domestic animals are a source of human food, it is of great importance to preserve them in a healthy condition. Diseased meat carries its qualities into the stomach of its consumers. It is a serious objection which vegetarians urge against the use of animal food, that the artificial circumstances in which animals live, and the bad treatment they receive, render them unhealthy. As an unhealthy animal does not consume food to as good advantage as a well one, it is economical to "a void disease. As comparative misery and discomfort accompany disease, it is humane as well as economical to see that the animals under our care enjoy as far as possible their creature comforts. Each of these circumstances is a sufficient reason for guarding, with scrupulous care, the health of the animals we feed; but when we derive milk from animals, it is doubly important that they are kept free from every objectionable taint. A sickly cow not only yields a diminished profit, but she yields a sickly milk, and sickly in a higher degree than her flesh. If a cow eats anything that has a strong or disagreeable odor, it appears in her milk. If a cow eats anything medicinal, it comes out in her milk. If she is feverish, her milk shows it. If she has sores about her, pus may be found in her milk. If she is fed upon decayed or diseased food, her milk, since it is derived from her food, will be imperfect.?Little Falls Farmer. - FANNY FERN ON FARMER'S WIVES. Fanny Fern is eloquent on the subject of farmer's wives. She says: Next to being a minister's wife, I should drpjid he1n(r the wife of a farmer. Some times, indeed, the terms are synonymous. Raising children and chickens, ad infinitum, making butter, cheese, bread, and the omnipresent pie; cutting, making, and mending the clothes for a whole house hold, not to speak of doing their washing and ironing; taking care of the pigs and the vegetable garden; making winter-apple sauce by the barrel, and pickling of myriads of cucumbers; drying fruits and herbs; putting all the twins through the measles, hooping cough, mumps, scarlet fever, and chicken pox, besides keeping a nernetual fever of hot grease on the kitch en table, in which is to float potatoes, carrots, onions, and turnips for the ravenous maws of the farm hands. Now your farmer is a round, stalwart, comfortable animal. There is no baby wailing at his pantaloons while he ploughs or makes fences. He lies down under the nearest tree and rests, or sleeps, when he can no longer work with profit. He comes into his dinner with the appetite of a hyena and the digestion of a rhinoceros, and goes forth again to the hay field till called to supper. There is his wife, and too often with the same frowsy head with which she rose in the morning, darting hither and thither for whatever is wanted, or helping the hungry children or the farm hands. After the supper is finished comes the dish washing, and milking; and the thought for to-morrow's breakfast; and then perhaps all night she sleeps with one eye open for a babv or a sick child, and rises again to v . i *n pursue the same unrelieved treaamiu, wearing round the next day. A Washington Corn Crib.?-At a recent meeting of the Farmer's Club, New j York City, a farmer from New Jersey described a corncrib that was constructed under the supervision of General Washington, which he said, had always been "rat proof," and there never had been but one mouse in it. The crib was placed on high posts that were set several feet in the ground, with tin or sheet iron nailed around the posts at the upper ends, so that mice and rats could not climb the posts. Mr. Crane, of New Jersey, stated that he had such a crib, and it has kept the grain well every year for more than twenty years and had been both rat and mouse proof. % ^isccitaueatts ?e?4ittg. NEGRO OUTRAGE NEAR CHARLESTON. The following acconnt has been furnished the Charleston Mercury, of a recent occurrence in Christ Church Parish. It is written by a responsible citizen, in whose a statements confidence may properly be ei placed: o: Mr. Samuel Fraser having the supervi- " sion and charge -of a plantation and a nutn- n ber of negroes, informed the men that they must wait until Saturday to register their t( names. The registration began on Mon- el day, and was to continue through the week. f< Some of the men left the plantation on b Monday, (the first day of the registration,)" 01 and returned late that evening, without cl registering. Mr. Fraser then told them ei that "if they left again before Saturday, b they need not return." An altercation en- w an or! in wKiftll the nprrrnpa apt. lin t.bfl riorht ei "" - ? ?~ ?o"? ?r "o? ? to be absent from the place "as long as the n registration lasted," without any liability e< to fine or deduction of wages for the lost p time. Mr. Fraser, on the other hand, gave w them to understand that his duty to his tl employer required him to make a deduction d for their absence on Monday, and for any e< other day, except the day allowed them for n the purpose of registering. Having absent- b ed themselves on Monday, they failed to p receive their rations when the other labo- s< rers got theirs; and having expressed their p determination to leave again on Tuesday, n and for every day of the week, Mr. Fraser e: refused to give them the rations for that r< week. They then left for the registration ol precinct. Arriving there, they made complaint to the two registrars, Mr. Smith, ol ( white,) and Aaron Logan, (black,) that Mr. la Fraser had forbidden their coming to regis- 01 ter, and threatened to turn them off if they f< left the plantation. Aaron demanded that st Fraser should be arrested. All the ne- ol groes present, (about one hundred and fif- h ty,) clamored for the arrest. Mr. Smith s< advised against it, saying there was no affi- h davit of the facts, and a bare statement was tl not sufficient. He refused to sign the war- ol rant, at least until he could think the mat- ci ter over. But Aaron would not be delayed tl a moment. He grew furious?threatened zi his white colleague?swore he would take e: the responsibility on himself, and thereupon scrawled off a sort of mandate "to bring ti Sam. Fraser before him to be dealt with,' h &c. Aaron called for volunteers "to arrest h the villain." A hundred voices cried out, r< "I'll go," "Gib me de warrum." Aaron tl picked out a dozen men armed with guns w and muskets, (about thirty present had t< these weapons,) and commanded them to nc "bring the villain before him," "I'll show p the white scoundrel how he dare to fine you ol for coming here," &c. The negroes took p the paper and proceeded to the house of 01 Mr. Fraser. They found him lying down oi on a bench. They rushed up to him, cock- c< ed their guns, levelled them at him and cried out, "I arres you," "we come to fetch you, dead or alive, to Mr. Logan." The}' commanded him to go with them. He mounted his horse, and, guarded on all sides by the negroes, was conducted into the august presence of the dusky dignitary. j A little before sun-set, Mr.- Fraser, with the armed escort, was brought before the , sable Aaron. The negro laborer who had J made the complaint was told by~Aaron to q make his statement again. He did so.? Another negro was then called up to corroborate that statement. Unfortunately and unwittingly, he let out that Mr. Fraser had told them that "they could go and register on Saturday," but that the "condi- w tion of the crop did not admit of their ahsence more than one day and that "the fV>nir worn nn rro rrntl in nnillrl nftt hp HUI rw bllVJ n V/l V Vilgwgvu *ik VVUIU ??vw wv ^ delayed," and they must therefore "put off registering till Saturday." The two negroes having given' their state- ^ ment, Mr. Fraser asked if he "could say* a , few words." He began by calling atten- ^ tion to the fact that what the first negro said was not supported by what the other negro said; and he was about to weigh the j( two in the scales of truth and justice, and ^ show which should be believed, when Jus- ^ tice Aaron, who had it all his own way, ^ (there not being one white man present to help Fraser.) declared the audience at an end, and announced his determination "to ^ take the fellow (Fraser) to Charleston, anyhow ;" and he didn't want to hear 'nuffin furrer from him, nohow." Eight armed tj negroes are selected by Aaron as the guard. Mr. Fraser is put in their charge. Aaron mounts his horse ; Mr. Fraser attempts to mount his. The whole pack yells out, "Git |?j off dat hoss, you dam white debble you.? ^ He is forced to dismount. Aaron alone rides ; all the others walk. Mr. Fraser is ^ then marched by this guard, headed by Aaron, through swamp and jungle, bramble and bush, by the most indirect, blind and circuitous pathways in the direction of t Charleston. These various divergencies ^ from anything like a frequented pathway were to bring him to the numerous negro Q quarters, which, within distances varying from 100 yards to a half mile, were stretched on either side of the main road which led to the city. At each of these negro '' quarters, Aaron commanded a halt. The j1 negroes were aroused from their sleep ; lights were ordered and the negroes assem- 8 a.I A iiman lanvn/lnrl c IVencnv tl uluui JLI1U1I xiai un uu^u xtxi x iuovt before them, and proceeded to explain J1 "who was. the white villain he had in cus- 11 tody; how he had ordered his arrest, and n what he intended to do with him," &c., &c. h This outrage was repeated all along the route to the city, which was not reached d till 3 o'clock next morning. ?

The country was smooth and rolling, with long level ti plains intervening. On the summit of the n rolling mounds were craters from four to h eight feet in diameter, and everywhere on ti the level plains were smaller craters of four v, to six inches, from which streamed a blaze and constant whistling sound. The hoi- tl low ground resounded from beneath their c feet as they traveled, and every moment f< it seemed to break through. Not a living n thing was seen in the vicinity.

PATRIOTISM. -? - 0l This distinguishing quality of a citizen, Oi hich is at sometimes much applauded, and t others seldom mentioned, is at all times, Fi qually needed. It is defined to be "love T< f country," and country may be defined m yourself and others" within a limited amed geographical territory. The best and most succinct exhortation ^ ) observe those principles which are the Pc lements, the soul of patriotism, that ever th ill from human lips, is, "Love thy neigh- ^ or as thyself." It is simply benevolence r philanthropy confined to a locality iniuded within a certain boundary, and exrcised toward a political organization era raced therein. Patriotism never makes at ar. It is not affirmed that it is never ex- ^ rcised in war; but it is affirmed that if all nr ten were patriots, we would never be call- ^ i upon to witness, with a melancholy b| leasure, the patriotic valor displayed in os ar. It is the want of this quality in some lat gives occasion for the magnanimous . isplay of it by others. If all were possess- 9 1 of this virtue, its exercise would imply o sacrifice, and its highest demands call for ut a partial sacrifice. To say that the atriot must sacrifice all, including life itilf, for his country, is to say that he must ossess a principle of love that God has ot implanted in the nature of man, and the xercise of which he has consequently not jquired of him?to die for others, to love thers better than himself. It is ambition and the wrongful exercise f power that makes war, and much of the uided patriotism displayed here is spurius. Genuine love of mankind impels a jw in war and peace, to noble deeds and tcrifices; but the love of power, the love f praise, mad frenzy, mean servility, the opc of gain, and the misconception that >me or all of these constitute patriotism 1 ecause so called, and so praised, impel lousands to deeds of courage and scenes f human gore, after the endurance of inredible hardships and privations. This is le patriotism of war destructive, demoraliing war. But there is another field for the xercise of the ennobling quality. The man who quietly pursues his avocaon, giving offence to none, provides for imself and dependent^, and distributes of is surplus, whether large or small, for the dief of the indigent and suffering, and for ? i J u le support 01 intelligence ana virtue; auu t ho, in whatever station he may be, looks ) the good of others as to his own, this = lan, I say, is a patriot. Sycophantic C< raise may be too light to penetrate the ~~ bscurity in which he is enveloped, but the atriot'8 reward is his. This is the patritism of peace. If I could inspire the yuoth is F my country with the love of this, I would insider my life not spent in vain. J. C, C. SWEARING. 7 Men sometimes call on God to send oth 8 to hell. What can be more awful than lis ? Suppose some one should look on nother and express the wish that God ould make the leprosy seize upon him, or le cholera, or take away his reason and ake him a madman, or even strike him M sad upon the spot ; what would we think neuciua. wetdr? But when--ene oalls oa? od to send another to the flames of the ke that burns with fire and brimstone, a here the worm never dies and the fire is at quenched, he is acting the part of a and ; for this is the worst thing Satan ishes to any human being. 51 And those who swear sometimes go so ir?I have heard them, boys and girls? i to call on God to send their own souls j, > perdition. Now suppose a company of len should be standing upon the edge of precipice, looking over into the abyss, so n* down that great rocks at the bottom - toked like little stones, and trees like lite bushes, and some of the company should 'j o round and say to the others, "throw b< le off;" would they not think that he had >st his reason, and seize him and carry 0r im to some lunatic asylum ? But think, len, of a man or boy asking God to take y im up and cast him, body and soul, into F. ie bottomless pit. Jjj I once saw several houses on fire. Oh! in ow furiously the flames were raging! The 0l jar was like that of a hundred furnaces, t nd so hot was it in the centre of the fire lat when the engines threw a stream of jr; ater into it, the heat dissolved the water, tb nd made it burn like powder. Now, sup ose some boy should come along and ask ae fireman, as he was going up a ladder to j-j! ie top of the house, to take him up and ti< ast him into the fire. Yet, when one asks J? rod to destroy his soul, he asks a thing ten ?i aousand times more fearful than this. J}1 Every time you are tempted to Swear, (J emember that an oath is a prayer to Q-od V ) damn your own soul or that of some JjJ *iend! Do you want it answered ? It is prayer that God may answer to your verlasting sorrow. ai THE"OLD^OMAN7? Once she was "Mother," and it was Mother.
