In one of the small interior towns of New Md, where the superstition! of our an still possess a hold on the people, the facts occurred a few years since, of which the following is a true narrative: An honest farmer and his family pre- _ paring to celebrate Thanksgiving at his - wife'a father's, in an ancient town, were hurried and confused extremely on the dtfy preceding that festival, by the multiplicity of things which must be done before they conld leave home with safety. The house , was to.he "banked up," and the gleanings of the harvest?cabbages, turnips, and so forth?put in the cellar, that the external , entrance thereto might be closed np for the season. Having carried in the vegetables, the boys were dispatched to the earn for straw :to ?11 the passages with, wJrile the good man himself was bnsied on the oppof Site side of the house. ; An old rani, the horned patriarch of the flock of sheep kept on the farm, having got a twte of the scattered cabbage leaves, unobserved entered the cellar and continued his feast- The avenue through -which he entered was immediately closed up, and all v the necessary works and arrangements being completed, the larger boys and girls set !<>ff on foot in high glee, the dog running and barking before them. ? Soon. after, the parents and their little ones, having put out the fires, and fastened the doors and windows to keep out thieves, started for the same destination. Oh the afternoon of the day following the festival, Uie family returned home ac companied by some young cousins. Some > of their youthful neighbors of both sexes were invited in, and a merry Thanksgiving carousal was in full tide df sucoessfm operation, when one of the boys, who had been 1 sent into the-cellar with a little two wick candle, which gave iust light enough to ' make darkness visible, to draw cider, ran back into.the room, with eyes glaring wild- 1 ly, uttering the half-suffocated exclamation, "The devil is in the cellar!" "Pooh!" said the father, "you have only i been frightened by your own shadow; give 1 me the fight." ? , e ^Saying this, he seized the candle?lea- } Ting the candlestick fast in the hands of the ' hoy, and boldly rushed to the cellar steps, hut before he had descended half the steps, '' the large saucer 'eyes and enormous horns < cf the ram caused him to retretft as much 1 terrified as his son, exclaiming, "Sure e- : nough the devil is in the cellar! j The good man seised the great Bible, and attempted to read, bnt the candle spat- 1 tered, burned blue, and threw such a faint 1 light on the sacred pages, and the book i trembled so much ^n the hands of the read- ; . er, that he could not distinguish one word-1 from another. The little children cried 1 and clung-to their mother, the girls nestled ? close to weir favorite beaux, and the whole 1 house was shaken with the agitation of its i half demented inhabitants. One bright ! thought, however, occurred and a message ( was sent for the minister to come and "lay ] the devil." * The parson, a man more celebrated for 1 good nature, piety, and credulity, than for ( talent and heroism; slipped a small Bible ? into his pocket, put on his band and sur- ? flice, so he should appear as formidable as .possible to his great antagonist, and hasten- ( ed to the relief of his distressed parishion- ( ers. On coming to the house the reverend ] gentleman was hailed as a deliverer, and * implored by at least a dozen persons, at the t same moment, to drive the devil away. But 1 few moments were lost in asking that which 1 no one knew, before the parson poshed for- < ward as a leader, with the same penurious 1 light, into .the cellar, the most courageous < of the company keeping close behind him. He reached the foot of the stairs, the eyes of fire, and the shadowy outline of the enormous horns, magnified tenfold, at least, by the terror of those who beheld them, removed all doubt, if any had existed in his "mind, as to the infernal nature of the being with whom he had to contend. The divine instantly fell on his Knees, and with uplifted hands, began to pray in his most fervent manner. The ram, not understanding the pious man's motives, but supposing by the - motion of his hands that he was daring him .'to a butting contest, made a pass with all his might at his supposed adversary, but, deceived by the swelling dimensions of his drapery, missed the slender body of the priest, and drawing hastily back to renew the assault, hooked one of his h?rns into the belt of his surplice, and pulled the priest with him into the cellar. While thus m the power of his victorious foe, he lost hope, so far as it regarded himself, and the natural benevolence of his disposition, burst forth in exclamation, "Brethren, take care of yourselves, the devil has got me!" The exhortation was better obeyed than any he had ever delivered from the pulpit, - his friends all fled and left him to his fate. Among the company was a shrewd young farmer, who had, from the first, supposed the fiend to be some domestic animal, but being a lover of fun and willing to see a comedy, kept his thoughts to himself, and pretended to sympathize with others in their fears. He thought it time to interfere, and, snatching a pitch pine knot from the blazing fire, expressed his determina tion to rescue the preacher or perish in the attempt.

But, unheeding the suggestions, and the manifestations of concern for his safety, he pushed into the cellar, seized the animal by one of his horns, and dragged the strug . - gling ram up stairs, calling to the astonished parson?"Follow me!" The horned devil was led in triumph, followed by the ecclesiastic, into the midst of the company. A momentary silence and hanging down of heads ensued, but the past scene was too ludicrous to admit of sober reflection, and loud peals of laughter burst forth from every side, during which the ram was trotted out at the door, the parson absented himself without ceremony, and the sports of the evening were resumed with better spir' its than before. 4 ?. i rjk ^ ' An Irishman being asked at the dinner whether he would take some apple pie, said: "Is it houlsome ?" "To be sure it is; why do you ask that question?" "Becase I once had an uncle that was killed with apple plexy,. and sure I thought it something of the same sort of dish." JUjrintttml fijrarttttctti. ECONOMY IN FEEDING HOHSE8. The great drawbackon the farmers profits is the consumption of fodder by the alldevouring draft horse, and too little attention is given to the economy of fodder, and to the preparation of it in such a manner that while there is as little waste as possible, the ,food is given in a shape in which it can be easily masticated ana reduced to that pulpy mass, which can be taken up by the blood vessels and distributed throughout the tissues, which extend all over the frame. Tlio ornonao nf fpprlin or hnmpa i?otf>npr. ally ?0 great as to hare a very injurious effect on the pecuniary circumstances of the tillage farmer, and it is a question whether he should be better off without any tillage land. At all events, farmers who keep nearly all their land in grass for the ' purpose of raising cattle or sheep, are generally much better off than those who keep a large portion of their farms tilled and are compelled to have a large number of horses to do the work. One thing is certain, that I if horses are kept, they must be fed, and the manner of feeding with the least possible expense, and the greatestrbenefit to the animals, is a matter of very great importance to the farmer. i . , There is a variety of articles available ! for feeding farm horses in a very substan- ; tial manner at a reasonable expense.? i Steamed potatoes are strongly recommen- ; ded as a cheap and useful provender. In feeding with anv kind of grain, it should i always be bruised, or what is better, coarse*- i ly ground. The hay should be cut into i chaff, that is into small lengths of from a j quarter to half an inch, mixed with a pro- < portion of straw, cut in a similar manner. ( In the stables of Hamburg and Trueman, i in Spitalsfields, eighty-two horses are kept, j The animals receive all their food in the 1 manger; no hay is ever put in the rackl ^ The whole are in excellent condition, evin- i cing the correctness of the management, j Each horse consumes in the twenty-four -j hours eighteen pounds of cut hay and ] straw, of which the latter constitutes one- i eighth, fourteen pounds of bruised oats, one i pounti of bruised beans?making in all thirty-three pounds of food". In summer beans are not given, being found too heating; ] hut instead of the beans a small addition is < made to the quantity of oats. Half a pound t af salt is given to each horse, divided into j two portions; one given on Saturday, apd j the other on Sunday, which so given, pur- i ges moderately. j Dr. Sully, of Somersetville, England, has | >een very successful in feeding horses. He < ias adopted the following mode of treat- | nent, and has persevered in it for thirty i pears. His horses work hard, and are always in good condition: In his stables < ;here are no racks to hold hay, as he con- t uders it a wasteful method of feeding; and t ;hat the horse's, when they have the com- j nand . of their heads, pull the hay out of f ;he racks and throw considerable portions 1 >f it under their feet, and that twenty ? rounds of hay and upward are often con- i turned in this way, and spoiled in the ? ;wenty-four hours; whereas, when it is cut ? ind mixed with a due proportion of cut ? itrew and braised grain, ten ponnds will be < lufficient. . t In the loft above the stablq?proportional ? [uantities of food, sufficient for the daily y jonsumption of each horse, is prepared; a ( ripe passes from the loft to each manger, 1 ind close by the top of the pipe is placed a ] ;ube capable of containing sufficient food < for a horse for twenty-four hours. To pre- i rent the horse from tossing the mixed food < jut of the manger, cross bars are nailed on ] the top of it, at twelve inches apart. The ;ut hay and straw, and also the grain, are regularly weighed out, and when the ingrelients are prepared, the portions for each borse are allotted. For the sake of variety ihe ingredients of the food are divided into "our classes, consisting of farinaceous subjtances, such as bruised beans, peas, wheat, larley or oats; bran, fine or coarse; pota;oes, boiled or steamed; boiled barley, hay jut into chaff, straw cut into chaff, meal lust or ground oil cake, with two ounces of salt in each thirty pounds of feed. The ingredients of the daily ration (thirty pounds) in class 1, consist of five pounds if bruised oats, or beans, etc.; five pouuds if boiled potatoes; six pounds of boiled barley; seven pounds of chopped hay. The ingredients of class 2, consist of five pounds if bruised grain; five pounds of boiled or jteamed potatoes; eight pounds of chopped bay;* ten pounds of chopped straw; two pounds of meal dust. Class 3; ten pounds bruised grain ; ten pounds chopped hay; ten pounds chopped straw. Class 4, five pounds of bruised grain; seven pounds of leans; eight pounds of chopped straw, and two pounds of malt dust. It will be seen from the foregoing paragraph that each horse receives thirty pounds if food in twenty-four hours; a quantity which in all cases will be found amply sufficient ; the addition of-two ounces of salt is accessary to assist digestion. It is known that all herbivorous animals in their wild state resort to salt wherever it is to be met mtn. Ui the tour classes into which Dr. ? Sully divides the ingredients of his food for ] horses, those which contain the boiled or 3teamed potatoes are most recommended, j Facts for Poor Farmers.?"Those 1 farmers who have most difficulty to make 1 both ends meet, always plow most and keep ' most stock. Now these men take the true plan Jo keep themselves always poor, because their crops and stock are always poor * and bring little." So writes John John- 1 son, in a letter to the Secretary of our State Society; and he thus illustrates his statement: "It is good profit to raise 300 . bushels of wheat from ten acres, but when it takes thirty acres to raise that amount, it is raised at a loss. So it is with cattle and sheep?you will see the thinking farmer making four-year old steers worth from $60 to $80 each; and his neighbor's at the same age not worth over $25 to $40." His advice to the latter is, "if his land is exhausted, he should plow no more than he can thoroughly manure. Seed with clover and grass, and let it rest, and that field will not only pay well for tillage, but it will furnish manure (if rightly managed) to make another field of the same size, rich also." And then keep it rich: do not run it with grain until again exhausted, or "the latter end of that land will be worse than the first." g?* Physiologists, after patient and close inquiry, have arrived at the conclusion that the power of the entire man, his vitality, is as much expended by two hours of deep mental effort as by a whole day of ordinary bodily labor. AN EXCITING Site. r, ! A great "experience meeting," seme years ago, was to be Held one evening in church, where the speakers were, as usual, to he reformed drunkards. i An estimable woman, whom we will call Alice,1 was induced to attend. When the meeting was somewhat advanced, a late member of Congress, arose with apparent sadness and hesitation. "Though I had consented, at your urgent solicitation, to address this assembly to night," he said, "yet 1 have felt so great a reluctance in doing so, that it has l>een with the utmost difficulty that I conld drag myself forward. As to relating my experience, that I do not think I can venture tirw-in Tfco nftfit T dn tint. rAi<n1l T nnnld wish that the memory of ten years of my fife were T>lot?ed ant. Tie paused a moment, much affected, and then added in a final voice, "something must be said; Of my own case, or I fail to make the impression on your minds'that I wish to produce. * ! "Your speaker once stood among the respected members of the bar. Nay, more than that, he occupied a seat in Congress for two congressional periods. And more than that," ne continued, his voice sinking into a tone expressive of deep emotion, he once had a tenderly lOved wife'and two sweet children. But all these blessings, have departed from him. He was unworthy to retain them; his constituents threw him off because be had debased himself and disgraced them. And moreythan all, she who bad loved him devotedly, the mother of his babes, was forced to abandon him and seek an asylum in her father's bouse. And why ? Could I become so changed in so few short years? What power was there to so debase me that my Vavm ami) Iktrnn iliA WnTo UDilUTV UCiUgO DJflUUCU^ dUU VTVU *VUV TTitV of my bosom turned away heart stricken from me? Alas, my friends, it was a mad indulgence in intoxicating drinks. But for this, I were an honorable and useful representative in the halls of legislation and blessed with home and wife and children. "But I have not told you all. After my wife was separated from me, I sank rapidly. A state of sobriety brought too many dreadful thoughts; I drank more deeply Mid was rarely if ever freefrom the bewildering effects of partial intoxication. At last [ became so abandoned, that my wife, irged by her friends, no doubt, filed an ipplication for a divorce, as cause could ie readily shown why it should be grantid, a separation was legally declared; and to complete my disgrace, 1 was left off the ;icket as unfit to represent the district. "When I heard this new movement, the rreat temperance cause, at first; I sneered, hen wondered, listened at last, Jfiid at last hrew myself on the great wave that was oiling onward, in hope of being carried ar out of the reach or danger. I did not lope with a vain hope. It did for me all ind more than I could have desired. It sat ne once more on my feet, once more made k man of me. A year of sobriety, earnest kttention to my profession- ana fervent irayer to Him, who alone gives strength in svery good resolution, restored me to much hat I nave lost;4)ut not all, not the richsst treasure that I have proved myself unvorthy to retain?not my wife and children. Between myself and these the law ias laid its stern impassable interdictions. [ have no longer children, though my heart ;oes towards these loved ones with*the ;enderest yearnings. Pictures of our early lays of wedded love are ever lingering in tiv imacnnation. I dream of the sweet ireside circle, I see ever before me the pale face of my Alice, as her eyes looked nto mine with intelligent confidence; the nusic of her voice is ever sounding in my jars." Here the speaker's emotion overcame lim; utterance became choked, and he stood jilent, with bowed head and trembling imbs.x The dense mass of people were lushed into an oppressive stillness, that (vas broken here and there by half-stifled jobs. At this moment there was a movement ;n the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one appeared instinctively to give way, was seen passing up the lisle. This was not observed by the speakjr until she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood.. Then the movement caught his ear,.his eyes that instant fell on Alice, who by the kindness )f those near her, was conducted to his side. The whole audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon their feet, bending forward, when the speaker extended his irms, and Alice threw herself upon his bosom. An aged minister then came forward and gently separated them. "No, no," said ;he reformed Congressman, "you cannot ;ake her away from me." "Heaven forbid that I should," said the minister; "but by your own confession >he is not your wife." "No, she is not," returned the speaker, mournfully. "But is ready to take her vows again," modestly said Alice, in a low tone, smiling through ler tears. Before that large assembly, all standing, md with few dry eyes, the marriage ceremony was again performed, that gave the speaker and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged man with thin white locks, completed the marriage rite, he laid bis hands upon the heads of the two he had joined in the holy bands, and lifting up his streaming eyes, said in & solemn voice, "What God has joined together, let not man put asunder.',' "Amen!" was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice.?Old Oaken Bucket.

"Come on?quioker, .quicken: What a slow coach you are!" said John. "It is not late, and the day is hot," said Frank. . "I tell you I want to get to school-ini time to clean out my desk," said John.? "Come f you ihaltcome." , , ..." j And then John tried to pull Frank along by main force; but, the more John pulled, the more Frank made up his mind not to yield. ' 1 While the dispute went on, they came to a place in the rogd where a man was trying to make a horse pull a great load of stones. The horse had stopped to' rest, when the man began to btot him.. This the horse did not like, for he had tried to "his best': so "he stood, stock still.? In vain did the man lay on. tbe last: the horse Would not start. In vain did the man swear at him: the horse did not mind his oaths. Just then a young man came up, and said to the man with the load of stones, "Why do you treat a good, brave horse in that way? He would pull for you till he died, if would only treat him kindly. Stand aside, and let me show you how to treat a horse." ; . So the man stood aside; and the young man went up. and put: his arm around the neck of the horse, and patted, him on the bach,and said, "Poor old fellow! 'It was too bad to lash you so,-when you were doing your best, and just stopped a moment to take breath. " And so the young man soothed the poor beast, by kind words and soft pats witn his hand: and then B?id,ta- him, ?Now, good old horse, see what you can do! Gome, sir! we have only a few steps more to the top of the hill. Get up now. _ Show y&u will do for love what you would not do for hate." The horse seemed to know what was said to him; for he started off at a strong, brisk pace, and was soon at the top of the hill. "There, my 'good friend," said the young man to the driver, "I hope you see now that love is the best force; that e1yen beasts will do for yOu, when you are kind, what they will not do when you are harsh." John heard all these words, and they set him to thinking. At last he said to Frank, "It is a hot day, Frank; and it is not late. Let us walk through the lane to schbol." - "No, "John," said Frank, "I will take the short cut, and will walk just ss fast as you want me to. So, come on." y "Frank," said John, "Love isbetter than hate-r-isn't it ?" /<a1 .1 1 . i s a. . tti _ _ J **un, a tnousana times Detteri cnea Frank. As chance wonld have it, they that day read in school a fable, two thousand years old, which I will now tell you. The North Wind and the Sun had a dispute as to which could show the more strength. They agreed that the one that could strip a man first of his cloak should be the victor. First the North Wind tried his strength: he blew, and blew; with all his might; buff blow as hard as he could, he could not do much. The man drew his cloak round him more and more tight; he would not let it be torn from him. So at last the North Wind gave up the tug, and called on the 1 Sun to see what he could do. The Sun shone out with all his warmth; The man could not well bear the heat: he soon grew so warm that he had to take off his cloak; and so the Sun became the winner in the trial ? Love has more strength than hate. Nursery? THE EXACT TRUTH. Two young masons were building a brick wall?the front wall of a high house. One of them, in placing a brick, discovered that it wan a little thicker on" one side than on the other. . His companion advised him to throw it out. "It will make your wall untrue, Ben," ooi/l Via I OCViU uv? "Pooh!" answered Ben, "what difference will such a trifle as that make ? You're too particular." "My mother," replied his companion, "taught me that 'truth is truth,' and ever so little an untruth is a lie, and a lie is no trifle." "0," said Ben, "that's all very well; but I am not lying, and have no intention of doing so." "Very true; but you make your wall tell a lie; and I have somewhere read that a lie in one's work, like a lie in his character, will show itself sooner or later, and bring harm, if not ruin." "I'll risk it, in this case," answered Ben ; and he worked away, laying more bricks, and carrying the wall up higher, till the close of the day, when they quit work and went home. The next morning they went to resume their work, when behold, the lie had wrought out the result of all lies! The wall getting a little slant from the untrue brick, had become more and more untrue as it got higher, and at last, in the night, had toppled over, obliging the masons to do all their work over again. Just so with ever so little an untruth in your character?it grows more and more untrue, if you permit it to remain, till it 1-1T.1.-1 na onruin VAlAIgO ounvn Tell, act, "and live the excact truth always. THE SABBATH SCHOOL. "Jerusalem was destroyed," says the Talmud, "because the instruction of the young was neglected." And dark as the fortunes of the South, the past few years, "a worse thing will come to us, if we are guilty of neglect in this matter. The religious training of our children is more than ever, a manifest and imperative necessity.', Society for the generation that grows up under the influence of revolution, is 'like a vast cauldron, filled with glowing melted matter,' which may boil over, and, with desolating tide, sweep away every structure reared by the patriotism or piety of better days, unless a timely care and an unwearying diligence proviae proper channels for it. The ground swell when the gale has ceased, is more fatal to heedless craft than the gale itself, and we might almost say thatwar and convulsions strike their heaviest bfcfr'* after they are over?for, then comes: the growth of manifold misohiefs, from the seeds sown by negligence,-amid storms of strife, as to the mental andjspiritual culture of childhood and youth. With this conviction, it is incumbent on us to give ] redoubled attention and effort to these interests.
