The fust mouthful I swallered I hearn splosh in my heels. I wur dry and empty both, by golly, so dry that arter hit riz purty well up in me, hit soaked through and stood all over me in draps, makin me look like a big retikule kivered with beads, but I swelled tighter arter a while, then I filled up purty soon. As soon as I cood retch hit by runnin a spoon handil down my throte, I shot off steam, and sot into rovin roun. Hit warnt long before I found myself tangled by the laigs in the dorg fennel, and I fell in a heap down hill,, so I thort the mos peaceful thing I could do war to go to sleep, a thinkin ov a runnin winmill. Well, I dreamed me a dream. I thort I wur in hell, and had bin sent thar fur votin the Radikil ticket. I felt the jestice ov the . sentence so much that I didn't feel so on easy and mad about hit as 1 would a Dm et they had sent me thar fur murderin a bline ole 'oman, or makin a back log ov sum gal's fust baby, arter soakin hit in turpentine, or sich like common wickedness. I thort I hed bin thar long enuf to sorter begin to git used to the taste ov the whisky they stills down thar, an I muss say I thinks hit .a little betfer than the truck what the skulkers out ov the Confedrit army biled for the government, because hit didn't create the appetite to cus, steal or desart half as soon on me, in Tophet, as that. 'Twas safer whisky, George, safer whisky. Well, I thort hell was a perfec roun hole?as roun as a bum shell, right in the senter ov the yearth. The walls wur glazed as slick as an inyun peelin, and wur but jest half full ov melted dinner pots, dorg irons, an ole cloek wates, with a scum of smoking brimstone a foot deep. The Devil staid aboard ov a bote, and had hisself rowed roun jest as he ^pleased, by the jury what found the bill agin Jeff Davis. They looked like thade T like to have another pop at tnat jod. i think, by golly, thade hunt a long spell afor tha found hit agin. I thort thar war long lether aidged cleats nailed to the wall to clime by. Tha wur squar aidged up, so the climin has all to be done on one side, an when fellers got tired ov swimmin, they .jest sot into climin the cleats. I noticed that new comers wur powerful fond ov climin. Thade sorter slack off sometimes, ontil tha sunk into the melted clock wates up to the pint ov thentail bone, and by the gost ov a skeered monkey, tbeyd come up overhanded to their work agin, jest A wriglin and a snortin. They worked like squrils on a tred mill. Burned ef tha dident keep the thing rollin strate along, and George, jest as sure as you ar a fut^ high, that's what keeps the yearth turnrn roun; I found hit out at last. Well, one day the trap dore opened and the Devil ordered old Forney to steer under the hole. He steers wild, an after swim min nearly all over hell, he got thar, when down poured into the bote the durnedest sluice of mean looking cusses you ever seed. Everybody already thar turned thar heads to look at 'em, an clum faster, skeered at ' njiir T?n<lilrila t.lip last cm u y guiijft o.u? nu* ?..? darned one. Suiu liml ropes rouu iheir nex, with a running noos ahind the year, sum had holes in their heads, sum had a big gill cut under their chin, and every one showed sines of hard times an hurry. I seed Stevens, Sumner, Wade, Butler, surnamed the Beast, an Wendell Phillips. , "Hey," sez the Devil, "what's rong above? colery ?" "Wus nor that," sez Sumner, "the Constitution people has riz an ov korce we are here; say your Majesty, is Preston Brooks here?" "Oh, no," sez the Devil. "'Well," sez Sumner, sorter brightnin up and rubbin his hans. "I'm durned glad he ain't." "Stop a minit," sez the Devil, wait till I sorts you all out." He took up a needil as long as a harpoon, and with a big quile of trace chains he threaded it. Then he picked out all the common cusses among 'em, an strung 'em on the chain, an hung the hole bunch over the aidge of the bote into the brimstone. Jehosaphat! how they sizzled and dove and sloshed an sprinkled hot iron about with their tails. A string of sun pearch wood a bin no wliar. While the Devil wur a sortin the small fry, Butler, surnamed the Beast, aidged back to whar I sot in the bote, a keepin one eye sorter on the Devil, an tother on me, and he whispered in my year, "whar's Sisphus?" Sez I, "don't know, why." "0, nothin, only wanted to see which node the most ov our traids, him or me." ' Then he whispered, (that mortal off eye ov hisn still sot on the Devil) "say, do you know whar his majesty keeps his spoons ?" Sez I, "does you see that chain hangin over the starn? he keeps em in a big pot sunk at tother eend ov hit." He jest went over the starn head fust, and cooned hit down the chain, outenside under the brimstone. Arter being down a spell, he cum back lookin disperited like, but his gineral loox wur powerfully improved by a bath in melted Brimstone. I swow he lookt a heap more like a human. Sez he, "gone, pot andall." I opened my eyes. Sez he, "Laint Forney got em?" Sez I, "Mebby so ?he's bin Ittmhlin -round- -the-stam-A good while." Derned ef he didn't sarch every pocket ole Forney had, and the ole cus never cotch him at hit, and he got the spoons. "While this wus agoing on, Old Thad wur a trying to claim kin with the Devil, a comparin his foot along with ole Nick's. I think the pint wur to git offis, for I hern the Devil keep sayin, "No, no, I be durn ef I do; we has order here now," an all the time ole Wade were a pesterin his Majesty for a free ticket on his doggery. I seed that the Devil wur a gittin monstrous oneasy. Wendel Phillips kep a watching fust the side that went down under the climers, and then the side what come up out ov the hjce. He just hopped overboard, and swum . over thar, an tried his durnest to turn hit tother way. He grabbed the slopin side ov the cleats, and held on as long as he could, and then slosh back agin among the melted dorg-irons and brimstone. I reckon he must a made fifty trials afore he quit and swum back to the bote, and then he sot in the most yearnest manner, to persuade the Devil to take off the cleats an nail em on agin upside down, so as to run hell backward, an ov korce the outside world with hit, without givin a reason why hit would help the matter. This made the Devil bile over. He sed not a durned one ov em should stay thar another hour, that thade raise a rebellion and destroy the institution, and then what would the world do, particwlarly New England f I tell you he jest rared; sez he, "HI clear my dominions -ov you durned quick," and he ranged a big bum mortar what were in the bote, point blank at the hatchhole, and he loaded in ole Wade, feet fust, and made Forney tetch hit off. By golly, he went whizzen thru the hole, and nit raned whisky on the lake ontil it burnt blue. Next he grabbed ole Thad. Sez he, tremblin, "Please, your Magesty, lode her in with me," pintin to a she nigger strung on a chain. Sez the Devil, "No, sir, I think we can manage her arter you are gone, and besides she loox like she needed a little rest." Bang! an I jest cotch a glimpse ov Thad's crooked foot scrapin a splinter off the hatch. Comin hex, he yoked Sumner, and he begged to be loaded hed fust, as he sed he'd altnawo 4-?*otrn1o/l O+MW tllfll lift*. fill hft OlHOJfD HOTUVU OVUAAA *1MM? J wanted to finish his jerny the same way on account of his record. So stum fust he come outen the hatch hole, and I recon sturn fust he busted again sumthin away yonder on the outside. Butler's, surnamed the Beast, turn cum next. While the Devil wur a loadin him in, I observed him busy butnin up his pockets. When the mortar fired I was watchin the hatch hole clost; I dident like the idea ov his leavin, but durned ef he went thar, he follored the line of his cock eye, and busted inter a million pieces agin the wall. Spoons an breastpins fell a foot deep all over the lake, an I hearn the wimmin all cheer. The Devil then licked his lips, an went for Wendel, but he jest loped over-board and dove, and to save his life, the Devil couldn't find him. He'll raise trouble thar yet, see if he don't. Nex he grabbed Forney, his steersman, an sez he, "you don't steer to suit me," an he commenced loadin him in, and don't you believe, just as the cusses hed wer goin out ov site, he whispered in the Devil's ear that I was Jamison, the acter. The Devil re marked, "I've got notnin agmjamison; you is the one," made at me by golly jest becase he seed the Beast outsmarted him in the spoon biziness. Thar will be peace in hell for a short while, if the Devil can ketch Wendel, and reconstruct the durned raskil. I recon he will ketch him for he set all the revenu detectives arter him, an I tell you, George, hell is full ov the mean cusses, an more a comin. Ole smutty reached for me last one, and put me down his gun. I sat into beggin hard. Sez he, "you mus go, the prosperity of my kingdom demands that nuthin havin the smell ov radikil on to his close kin stay here." A ROUGH COUNTRY. Some years ago an attempt was made in the Kentucky Legislature to create a new county. The effort produced much discussion, and drew forth the following witty speech from a Mr. White, a member of the House. "I predicate my objections to this new county on different grounds, one of the main and most important of which is that I am confident it would not be entitled to a representative in the next fifty years. Mr. Speaker, did you ever visit the territory sought to be created into the county of CarI ter ? Did you ever have an opportunity of beholding its multifarous beauties and examining its boundless resources ? Well, sir, I have! I have been all over it, and around it, and I do say here openly, and definitely, that there is not level ground enough within its entire limits to build a pig-pen on. The soil is sn poor it. would not grow 'pennyroyal.' Sir, you might mow the country with a razor and rake it with a fine comb, and you wouldn't get enough fodder to keep a sick grass-hopper through the winter. "Sir, they plant corn with crow-bars, and hold their sheep by the hind legs while they nibble the grass in the cracks of the cliffs. Sir, the ferace naturae of that section are principally ticks, and I must in justice say that that variety of insects attain a splendid size in this new county of Carter, the smallest that ever fell under my observation being at least as big as saddle-bag locks. As to internal improvements in that section, this House can form some idea when I assure it that the only thing resembling a road that I ever saw there, was when one of the barefooted natives dragged a wild boy seven miles through the snow. With such a country as this, Mr. Speaker, they propose to make a new county, and the reason given for so doing is, that their convenience will be promoted thereby. Sir, if it were possible to hold their courts under a shade of postoak and black-jack saplings?to keep a clerk's office and the records of the county in the recesses of a hollow sycamore, and to make a jail out of some of the dark and slimy caves beneath the craggy hills of that rough country; if it were possible to establish machinery for doing county business out of such materials, we might entertain the project as feasible and plausible. But, alas ! even such advantages as these are denied by nature to this country. It is true, there would be no difficulty about the caverns for a jail, but the necessary 1 - -1- ^ iA/ih onr\nhv\/?a f A cur* pUSl-UtlK LllJLU UlitUA-JUUiv. oujjjsiiiigOj kv ouyply with their foliage a canopy for the august tribunals of justice, cannot be found. They are not in the county. And as for the sycamore tree suitable for a depository of the archives of the county, it would be sought in vain. The winds even refuse to blow sycamore pods in that direction. And the idea of the people ever being able to build houses in which to transact business is deeply, darkly, prodigiously and preposterously absurd. fl&f A Canadian boy in the quiet town of St. Catherine's had been punished by his father with solitary confinement for lying. He showed on his release that he had been employing his time in theological reflections instead of using it for self-mortification. He asked his father : "Pa, did you tell lies when you were little?" The father, perhaps conscience-smitten, endeavored to evade the question. But the child persisted. vaii 4*nll lina tt]-? nr? nrmi Trnrn lif+ln X^IVA jr?u "V^v, . "Well, no," said the father; "but why did you ask ?" "Bid ma tell lies when she was little ?" "I don't know my son, you must ask her." "Well," retorted the hopeful, "one of you must have told lies, or you could not have had a boy that would do it." Sam , a negro, by good luck received a fine start in the world, and soon acquired a handsome property. When he had reached middle life, a friend asked him one day why he did not marry, as a man in his circumstances was abundantly able to support a wife. "Oh, I consider myself too good to marry a nigger wench," returned Sam, with a feint to turn up his flat nose. "Marry a white woman then," continued the friend, "the law allows it, I think." "I'll be hanged if I'd have a white woman that was mean enough to marry a nigger," replied Sam, with a loud guffaw. fhpattwtnt,; ? ? i CUBING HIDES FOR THE TANNER. A friend engaged in tanning, has called our attention to the importance of good sound hides, if good leather is required.? He says "one fourth of the hides sent to my ( tan-yard, are spoiled before I get them; ( the fiber being softened and broken down < by decay.'' Hence we re-publish the follow- j ing article on this subject: 1 The Superintendent of one of the best , arranged and managed Tanneries in the t country, communicates to us the following directions for curing hides. If the hides are at all injured, good leather cannot be * produced. Nearly all sent in by private t parties could be better cured, while hides, * a part cured under Dr. Baird's instructions, are sent in, in the best possible order, but a * large proportion are much injured; if not utterly spoiled. Hides maybe cured green ^ or dry, according to the weather. \ /"i t? nn\r o?t mnr\ ttttvtjo uiVAJan OAiiiAi/ jujLuao* H In ordinary weather, fresh skinned hides a should be well salted on the flesh side, then 8 folded so as to lap the fleshy parts togeth- t er, and then farther folded so as to be ? rolled into a small bundle. You have then \ a compact parcel with id hair out, easy . and clean to be handled, and taking little room for transportation, and which will keep for an indefinite time, and will be the same to the tanner as green hides, which are more easily worked, tanned in less time, and make better leather than hides dried in the usual way. Salt, besides curing and keeping the skins, acts most beneficially on them, and causes them to turn out a better quality of leather. Some may object to the cost of salt?the injury done to hides by careless management is far greater, in point of value on an average, than the cost of three or five pounds of salt required to cure a hide. Although a hide may appear uninjured to the eye, it often proves to be tainted in spots, which renders a portion of it worthless. A great many skins have been lost in our army through carelessness or ignorance of thiB wav of saving them. The value of a sin ? * ' 1 . A gle hide lost would have Baved twenty-nve or thirty with certainty. In fact, not a hide would be lost if salt were freely used, while thousands are lost to the country by _ attempting to cure them in the usual way. _ The saving in labor of "breaking the hide," as it is termfed by the tanner; the shorter time required in tanning; the better quality of leather; the ease of handling, transporting and storing Bmall compact bundles, compared with large, stiff, } awkward dry hides, are great advantages over the usual mode of curing. ?, DRY SALTED HIDES. In very hot weather, flies and bugs are \ so troublesome as to require different management. The hide should be we'll salted, the salt rubbed in and then hung in the sun for a couple of days; after that dried in the shade, and when sufficiently cured, folded and put away. They are not so compact and convenient to handle as the green salted, but work as easy arid make as good leather. From tlio Coiumbiu Sun. PAY MONEY WAGES. Editors Sun : The labor question is paramount in importance. General starvation seems likely to supersede universal suffrage; but it cannot be doctored so readily as po- f litical illness. An exhaustive article for one of our re- h views on the subject would be profitable, but in a newspaper, out of place and unsatisfac- * tory, from lack of space. I propose simply n to make a few statements without adducing o proof. An examination of the labor system "( of the world, as exhibited in the writings of fi Loudon, Babbage, Wade and other authors, ? will confirm these statements. 1st. The metazer system, which is the 3 "joint system" or copartnership arrange- ? ment, is an evidence of the very low agricultural condition of the country where it ^ obtains, and is a bar to any improvement. Poland, Portugal, the poorest districts of * France, illustrates its failure. f 2d. Where agriculture is most profitable, . the universal rule is to pay money wages, which keeps labor and capital distinct. England, Scotland, Belgium, Austria and Prussia, are familiar instances of its splendid success. 1 3. Workmen cannot force wages up nor 1 employers force them down by combina- ? tions, but if let alone wages will find their 1 level. I 4th. The employer, that is capital, must J take the risk, whether wages be paid in > money or in kind. He plans, risks, manages. If his plans do not succeed, he alone is accountable, and alone pays the penalty of his miscalculations. If you admit the laborer to share in the { profits, he can assume but a very 3mall < share of the risk. It is a principle of part- ] nership, that neither law nor reason recognizes, in fact is at variance with common J sense. ! 5th. The "joint crop plan" has already ! failed with the negro, after two years trial? thereby demonstrating the truth that what ] the whole world has long since settled is not exceptional in our free negro labor. y The hired laborer does cheerfully any * nrVtinlt ll A ID O O CM C9T\ urktlrt TTA111* j u u tu >Y liivii xiv/ 10 it uiit y vui j free negro partner objects to your mode of planting, tilling and harvesting; waters your cotton bales, appropriates corn and potatoes, peas, pigs, and other small grain, and absolutely refuses to do work upon fencing and farm buildings' but fails not to commit waste everywhere. The negro partner got, in 1865, onetenth, in 1866, one-quarter, in 1867, onethird, for 1868 he demands one-half. How long his native modesty will prevent him from claiming the other half depends upon his white partner. I conclude by requesting an examination of two plantations, with resident owners, under the two systems of paying laborers. It will settle the matter in favor of money wages. For the next year, if you have your corn, -i made on hand, you can pay sixty dollars J wages and board furnished, for first-class laborers. If you have corn and meat to t! buy, you cannot afford to pay forty dol- j lars. Pay money wages. Alabama. ^ jSgy A contributor to the Practical Far- . mer, "writes that the best cows he ever raised had to be milked several weeks before f the period of calving. This practice was a y preventive of garget, and tended to the t; general health of the animals. It some- ^ times happens that the udders of cows be- s come greatly and painfully distended weeks J before calving, and but few persons resort n to the sensible practice of relieving them byr ? milking. If this were practiced more there . ivould probably be less complaint of garget ;han there now is. "TERMS?INADVANCE i * SPECIE. CURRENCY.

THE Subscriber respectfully informs the publlo generally that he has accepted the Agency of the above Company, and is now prepared to issue policies of LIFE INSURANCE. The solvency of the Company is certified to by the Court Officers of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commended to those who desire to support a "Home Institution. J. A. McLEAN, v At the store of J. A E. B. Stowe. THE OBJECT Of this Company is to insure life?not indeed to prolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to continue the exertions, investments and benefits of your life to your dependents, after your life is terminated. However well prepared a man may be in a spiritual point of view to meet the "king of terrors,'' if he be possessed of a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart, he can bat look with sad forebodings to. that finale of his earthly career which IS to deprive his fond wife and helpless children of that snpport and fostering care which his arm has fornisnod. He shudders as his mental gaze looks within tlje gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind those whom be loved, gs vagrants roaming the friendless, thorny paths of public charity! Yet. alas! liow many do it 1! when a small present outlay would gilg their troublous rood with ease and comfort, if spent "in a Life Insurance Policy. Reader, are you not liable to this sad death-bed reflection of the unseen trials you bequeath those yoti leavo behind, by neglecting this cheap protection which we now urge upon you? If vour mind were easy on this subject; iryou could feel when you "shuffle off this mortal coil" your femily were provided for, you would be relieved of ti*B car king anxiety that fills every worthy mind at such fears: you would bo better prepared to pursue your avocation with mental composure and zeaL We do not mean to assert that mon^y oanflll the place of a fond father, yet we do assort, what you know to fie true?money will prove their bat earthly friend when you are gone; and you can leave them this certain friend now while you are living. ... o j Can you?will you refuse it? .f_ Business men are considered rather improvident who do not insure their goods and houses against fire. Now, your house may never be burned?it may stand ahundred years; but your life cannot last so long?your "lamp of life" must burn oOt some day. You argue it is prudent to insure against uncertain misfortunes to youx property, and yet neglect a certain event which will and must come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and Srudcnce? We admit and assert the prudepee of le first, but assert the greater wisdom and r (easily for the lost. Ask yourself the question, are you doing right to neglect this opportunity ^ provide effectually for your femily in case of your death, while you have it in your power? And bear in mind?now, this moment may be your last chance?death is after you I When once his "rugged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," the ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be opeued to the sighing hearts you took care of while you lived. Remember! only while in health?before age, with attendant diseases come upon you? before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the verge of the gravo?only while living?mentally and physically living?can you obtain a Life Insurance Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is always the final victor?and while we do not urge this process will disarm liim of his sting, (for religion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving bosom to know you have provided for your, femily before that trying boor comes. By having your life insurodyou "disarm the sting" of poverty and want to fhdm. We imagine now we hear the wail of suffering from some lone widow, while she examines the merits of this business, as her shivering group stand around her scanty fire and cry for bread: "Ob! that my husband had insured his life ! If he could have foreseen my lamentable state he would have done so. Ho was kind and good to all, and supposed that all would be kind and good to us; but alas, how mistaken! He provided well for us while living; but if he had insured his life, its benefits would have continued to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, Ibr many such a scene has really existed.
