tumorous department. Mks. Dr. Mary Walker in an an Awkward "Fix."?The recent accounts of the failure of this lady to obtain an interview with General Grant because she wore pantaloons, have revived the following anecdote: "While with the army of the Potomac, mi the Summer of 1863, Dr. Walker visited the head-quarters of Col. (afterwards General) Samuel Carroll of tne second army corps. Failing in all her efforts to obtain her regular commission as surgeon in the army, and having only permission to remain with the troops in the capaoity of nurse, the 'doctor' was frequently obliged to accept the hospitality of officers. On the occasion referred to, she plainly stated to Col. Carroll her intention of tarrying at hie headquarters a few days for the laudable purpose of looking after the sick. Of course the General consented and being as gallant as he is brave, offered her the sole use ot his tent, which she accepted. So far so good. Early on the morning after her arrival, a field officer of the 7th West Virginia regiment, of Carroll's brigade?a bluff, honest, brave, devil-may-care back-woodsman?took a walk over to brigade headquarters, and noticing the flies of Carroll's tent were still tied, thought it was somewhat strange that his commanding officer, generally an early riser, should remain in bed at so late an hour. (I have it,' said he, thinking a moment; and approaching the tent, he quietly untied the canvass doors, winking at the same time to several staff officers who were near by, attempting to control their risibilities. The face of the sleeper was hidden by the bed covering, and the officer, quietly lifting at the foot of the couch, and encircling two warm ankles with his brawny paws, while he watched the head of the bed intently to see if the sleeper awoke, shouted at the top of his lungs as he dragged the body completely out of the bed to the floor: 'Carroll, ?ou lazy cuss, get up here! It's 8 o' ' he rest of the sentence was lost in a piercing scream, such as only a female in distress can furnish at short notice, and the jolly officer, abashed and dumfounded, bounded from the tent like a stag struck by a threeounce bullet. The joke was too good to keep, and the result was tnat every soioier in the second corps knew the story about Col. ? of the Seventh Virginia pulling Br. Mary Walker out of bed." ? Puritan Praying.?Choptanks had his wife arrested for assaulting him with a fireshovel while at his devotions. It was an aggravated case. But Mrs. Choptanks asked to be heard, and she said that little Choppy "didn't dare give her any of his sars in bis talk ; but he abused her in his prayers, and on this occasion he was on his knees, with a crowd about the door, gathered there by his 'hollerin' and a callin' on the Lord to forgive this black-hearted woman; make her tell the truth, 0, Lord,' he hollered, 'and make her quit gaddin' about and lvin' to the neighbors,' and I couldn't stand it, and jist took him a swipe with the flat of the shovel, and I'll do it again." - JlgL. A Radical and a negro were talking politics one day, and Sambo, getting the best of it, the Jacobin broke out suddenly, saying: "What are you any way but a black nigger?" "Well," said Sambo, "I know I'se black, but dat don't make no difference, for you is jes as black as I is." "How do you make that out." "Why dat's jes' as plain as day, I'se black outside and white inside; but you are a nigger turned inside out?you are white outside, but as black as de debble inside." ? Impressive.?A gentleman who recently put up at a lone tavern in Wisconsin, was awakened by a young man who commenced a serenade thus: <<nh flailY I've called you twice, And yet you lie and snore! I prav you wake, Ana see your Jake, And open to him the door; or the window, I don't care much which, for? It makes but little difference To either you or I? Big pig, little pig, Root hog, or die." A Gentleman remarking in a tavern that he had shot a hawk at ninety yards with No 6. shot, another replied: "Must have a good gun, but Uncle Dave here has one that beats it." "Ah!" said the first, "how far will it kill a hawk with No. 6 shot ?" "I don't use shot or ball either," answered Uncle Dave himself. "Then what do you use, Uncle Dave?" "I shoot salt altogether. I kill my game so far with my gun that the game would spile before I could get it." jDuring a concert in the Boston Music Hall recently, when the organist was "exhibiting the full powers of the instrument," a lady was enthusiastically conversing w;th her neighbor about her household arrangements. She suited the tone of her voice to those of the organ. The organist made a sudden transition from "ff" to "pianissimo," consequently the audience was somewhat amused at being informed by her, in a shout: "We fried ours in butter/' A geutleman after having paid his addresses to a young lady for some time, "DonDed the question." The lady, in a frightened manner, said: "You scare me, sir !" The gentleman did not -wish to frighten the lady, and consequently remained quiet for some time, when she exclaimed, "Scare me again." jggy A lady gave a fancy ball not long since, and placed a servant at the door to announce the costumes as they entered. A couple of ladies appeared in full ball-room dress. "What costume shall I announce ?" asked the servant. "We are not in costume," they replied. "Two ladies without costume," shouted the servant, to the horror of everybody. If twenty-seven inches of snow give three inches of water, how much milk will a cow give when fed upon turnips ? Multiply the flakes by the hairs on the cow's tail, then divide the product by a turnip, add a pound of chalk, multiply the whole by the pump, and the total will be the answer. ggf? A young minister, whose reputation for veracity was not very good, once ventured to differ with an old doctor of divinity as to the efficacy of the use of the rod. "Why," said he, "the only time my father ever whipped me, it was for telling the truth." miscellaneous Reticles. ARAB HOSPITALITY. While our tents were pitching m the rain, we made shift to tarry in a chamber of the old Khan, where an Arab and his old wife lived, with two cows, a calf, and a donkey, and whatever stock of poultry they had? all in one apartment. There was no chimney, except an aperture over the door, and the poor fire threatened to make bacon of us all. But the scene was so characteristic of the primitive life of the country, and brought back so forcibly the stable where the Master was born, that all the thousand pictures which I have seen from famous artists were not worth one glimpse of this real scene. The good creatures showed us true Arab hospitality; they broke up their last piece of wood, and bustled about to make I us welcome to their poverty and filth. Fun-1 ny little dried-up woman it was, in her mannish trowsers and half-starved frame ! Who shall tell the looks of the cow, that came home late and presenting herself at the familiar door that always welcomed her with her full udder, found it blocked with outlandish strangers, and would not come in? although we urged her with courteous entreaties, feeling ourselves the intruders, until the funny old mistress went out with a rope and led her milky ladyship past her guests into "her parlor. And what Landseer shall picture that donkey's inquiring, puzzled aspect, as he erected his monstrous ears, and puckered up his eye-slits, and pondered at the door, considering whether his fears of us or his longing for his warm crib should prevail ? What a bundle of black wool he looked, perched on those thin shanks, with those unnatural flaps sticking out of his crown, stubborn yet modest, and very clearly having no mind to leave the doorway if he did not quite see his way to join such distinguished company. We stood the smoke and the stable smells as long as we could, and then made our way down into the muddy bottom where our tents were pitched. And here we are, our dinner served and eaten, and everybody in bed, and two giving audible proofs of a sound nap, while the wind raves about and the rain drums on the tent, and the sides flap as my pen runs on. But as I am sitting with my feet in a puddle, all feeling being happily out of them from cold, and the candle is at its last gasp, I must drop my quill and tumble into bed with my clothes on.?The r\1A UZ/w7/J A,/ 7~lr Jiollntna V/CAAt ff Vi V%J*y \r\j $ Arvvvvwv* A BACK-WOODS COUNTY. A traveller in Volusia county, Florida, writes to the Flordia Union some observations on men and things in that locality : In passing through the country, after the first sense of the ludicrous passes off, a feeling of sadness possesses the traveller, as he reflects how easy the road is from civilization backward to barbarism. It affects the external appearence of the women more unfavorably than the men. Luckily for us, "waterfalls" are unknown to our backwoods toilets. They are only worn on the 5St. John's, and by misses on their return from boarding schools. Hoops are very rarely worn. Three fourths of the women go barefoot one half of the time. The only regular preaching in the county is in a log house near Volusia, where the pulpit is supplied once in four weeks by a preacher from an adjoining county. County affairs are managed, or rather manage themselves in a sort of go happy, go lucky manner, in harmony with other matters. A portion of the officers cannot write or read, do not understand their duties, and. have no inclination to perform them when they are understood. There is not a magistrate or justice of the peace in the oounty commissioned. The county is in fact without law. Crimes which require little exertion are comparatively common. There being no magistrates or clergymen, the marriage ceremony is rather slighted. Parties marry and unmarry to suit their fancy. One remarkable case exists of a man with two wives, one wife with six; and the other with seven children, all living in the same house. When I carried the news a week ago to a crowd of men near Volusia of the laying of the Atlantic cable, the expressions of surprise were various. One pious, old man held up both hands, exclaiming "Oh the gracious God!" This made me bold in telling news, so I said, would you like to know what has become of Jeff. Davis? "Yes," "What have they done with him ?" 1 informed them, and ventured the suggestion that they ought to take a newspaper. Traveling Stones.?They have walking stones in Australia, and, as we are informed, they have traveling stones in Nevada. Here is a description: They are almost perfectly round, the majority of them as large as walnuts, and of an irony nature. When distributed about upon the floor, table, or any other level surface, within two or three feet of each other, they immediately begin traveling toward a common center, and there huddle up in a bunch, like a lot of eggs in a nest. A single stone, removed to a distance of three and a half feet, upon being released at once started off with wonderful and somewhat comical celerity to join its fellows; taken away four or five feet, it remained motionless. They are found in a region that, although comparatively level, is nothing but barren rock. Scattered over this barren region are little basins, from a few feet to a rod in diameter, and it is in the bottom of these that the rolling stones are found. They are from the size of a pea to five or six inches in diameter. The cause of these stones rolling together is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be loadstone, or magnetic iron ore. There is a mysterious feeling that fVaciiionflir naa<u>s liVf> iielmid over t.bp snir it. l[t comes upon the soul in the busy bustle of life, in tne social circle of life, in the calm and silent retreats of solitude. Its power is alike supreme over the weak and iron-hearted. At one time it is caused by the flitting of a single thought across the mind. Again, a sound will come booming across the ocean of memory, gloomy ana solemn as the death-knell, overshadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. Who can describe it, and yet who has not felt the bewildering influence ? 18^, The war is over and the dead are buried. The God of nature has covered their graves with green grass and beautiful flowers to show us nature left no trace of violence. Poor fallen human nature should imitate this divine example and wipe out the traces of passion and hate in the minds of the American people.?Seymour. iFalse teeth cannot be worn at Austin, Nevada.

Kate says they have turkey or i chicken, every day, and desserts, too ; but ' we have such common things;" and Minnie i Ellis, with a frown upon her pretty face, i sat down to the table. "Yes, mother, I wonder at you," broke I in saucy Tom. "A roast of mutton, done ] brown like this, is all well enough for such < commonplace people as you and me," at i the same time helping himself to a sliee; ! *^ ? a. a ?Y-ta tTAnnrr 1 orlxr QQ ATlflQ \ UUt lUdB OUVU CD UUV J UUUg AUVtJ WW ******** 4 Minnie Ellis should be obliged to eat such fare, is truly sad. Shall I try, my dear j sister, to get you the left leg of a humming bird ? Or, how would you relish a few drops < of morning dew, in case I should make an ] extra effort, and rise early enough to get i them?" i Mrs. Ellis smiled, but Minnie said, tart- i ly, "Do stop your nonsense, Tom; you i have an idea you are smart; but let me tell j I you, that you seldom open your mouth to i speak, but that you say something silly, i Kate Hanson says, for her part, she can't < endure young boys, they're so conceited." "That's a cooler," said Tom; "it makes 1 me feel like an oyster with his trap door < down. I guess, instead of letting out, I had i better let in; and suiting the action to the ] word, he began to eat his dinner with a < good will. . t "My respects to Miss Hanson," said he, i as he left the table, and whistling t "Nellie was a lady." { he went out to have a game of ball. 1 Minnie knew her mother was not alto- , gether pleased with what she had said, and ] she continued : "you know, mother, I don't ( care so much for myself, but Cousin Lucy , is coming soon, ana you have often told me \ how rich uncle is, and in what style they ? ^ ^ will nninTT IlVCj &nu X uui uuaiu sue mil uvv oujuj uuself when she finds every thing bo different here." uShe comes to the country for a change," replied Mrs. Ellis; "and if she proves as sensible as she seemed last winter, I have no fears but that we can entertain her." "I do wish," said Minnie again, after a pause, "you had bought me a bonnet, instead of a hat for best. Kate Hanson has one. She says, hats look childish. Didn't you notice her, mother, last Sunday, as we came out of church ? She had on. a blue silk dress and white bonnet, and looked lovely; and she has so many things embroidered. That lame Miss Elack spends most of her time in working for her." "Yes, I saw her in her fine clothes, and I could but think how much more suitably imy daughter was dressed; but Minnie," she added more gravely, "if intimacy with Kate Hanson is going to make you discontented and unhappy, I must prevent your going with her. Why cannot you imitate your brother ? He takes life as it is, and is always contented. There arc very many people who go through life and see flaws in everything. Instead of looking for the silver lining of the cloud, they see but the dark cloud itself, and succeed in making themselves, as well as those about them, miserable. It is both sinful and ungrateful to your Heavenly Father; to repine when His good gifts are so unceasingly showered UDon vou. Think of the many who are de prived of the comforts you enjoy." { Minnie was not naturally a disagreeable 1 girl, but she had lately been thrown with a t vain young friend, the spoiled child of a sil- ( ly mother, whose one thought was wealth and display, and who judged others by the j same rule. 1 The New York train brought Cousin Lucy to Mrs. Ellis' at the appointed time. The t gray straw hat, trimmed with pink rosebuds, \ and the gray suit, though neat and pretty, ? were not so grand as Minnie had counted j on ; but she received her cousin cordially, ^ and took her up to her own cosy bedroom, j which they were to share. t "You can hang your dresses in this ward- l robe," said Minnie. \ "Thank you, I believe I will unpack y them now, for I folded them myself, and f they may be creased. Mother showed me how, for she wants me to be able to do such f things without depending on others." r "Only one silk dress," was Minnie's sil- x ent comment, when the dresses were hung y up. "I thought she would have two or \ three, at least." t "You did not bring your bonnet ?" as she s saw Lucy open a box containing a hat t trimmed with white. f "My bonnet!" and Lucy laughed merrily. ( "Nothing would induce me to wear a bonnet. t Why no girls of my age wear them, unless ? they want to be thought young ladies, and that is more than I do, I am sure. No, no; \ I don't want to be old before my time." j Tom had been nerving himself up to meet t the city lady, and was quite subdued when | introduced; but she had such a sunny face ^ and winning manner when she spoke to him, \ that he soon found himself chatting quite \ sociably with her. ] "I never tasted such milk in my life," ( said Lucy, as she sat at the tea-table, and } passed her tumbler for a second supply. ( "Not any," said she, as Minnie p.issed ( the fruit cake. "I will take a piece of gin- ( gerbread, Tom, if you please. I have heard father often speak of your famous ginger- j bread, Auntie, but this is the first time I have had a chance to taste it." j Tom's respect rose at once, and "Good , for you !" on the tip of his tongue; but he < refrained, and only said, with a twinkle of , his gray eyes, "Why, Min, we did not know ] that city ladies drank milk, and ate ginger- 1 hrend. did we ?" But Minnie was looking up to the clock, , and professed not to hear. ( Companionship with her cousin wrought . a change in Minnie. She became less com- , plaining and exacting, and more interested ] in home duties. She scolded Tom less, and ( received from him more brotherly love and | less teasing. , And, at the end of four weeks, when | Lucy returned home, the scales had fallen so completely from her eyes, that to use . Tom's words, "She had given up altogether i wearing Kate Hanson's spectacles." ] "Truly, "said mother Ellis, as she thought j it over, "Example is better than precept." j Young Folks' News. ? ggf* There is no fortune so good but that 1 it may be reversed, and none so bad but that it may be bettered.

DEEP AND SHALLOW PLOWING. i The following suggestions, embodied by Horace Greeley in a paper read at a recent meeting of the American Institute Farmers' Club, is entitled to vastly more considera-! tion than most of what he says on political subjects: Many controversies result from imperfect definitions. The same words, the same phrases convey different ideas to the rival iisputants. Let me begin then, by making myself clearly understood. To save time, [ will define by negation or exclusion?as follows: All soil* do not require plowing to the tame depth ; because I. A large portion of the earth's surface ihould never be plowed at all. No wet lands should be plowed until thoroughly, nftrmanentlv drained: Dlowinc them while r" J ' 1 r? itill wet, or certain to become so after rains, is throwing labor away. A very large irea, consisting of swamps, marshes, bogs, fens, sea, lake, river, and brook margins or intervales frequently submerged, or sodden, should never be plowed until drained or embanked. II. Then a great portion of the rocky lillsides or crests, which 'consist mainly >f rocks thinly covered by, and often protruding through the Boil, should never be slowed, but should be kept always in forest, from which timber is taken from time 10 time, but never to such an extent as to eveal its ruggedness. "Westchester county done, has thousands of acres, now denuded md devoted to grazing, which should never lave been cleared. Cut off the timber, if fou are not content with cutting out, but ceep such sough land always in wood. Its :ultivation can never pay; its grass is burnt lp by a sultry week ; while stripping it of timber tends to render our springs and itreams scanty and oapricious. III. There are, moreover, lands too sterile to be cultivated with profit, at least, while so much good land lies idle and useess. These lands are often level enough, md not too stony; but it will cost more to Dring them to a proper state of fertility than they will then be worth. Some of these might be, and probably, ought forthwith to be, sowed with nuts and tree seeds md so covered with timber. IV. Then there are lands which have a Tood, though shallow surface-soil, but covering a poisonous subsoil, which must not tie disturbed. Professor Mapes found such a tract in West Jersey, where a stratum ot mlphate of iron (copperas) lay but eight inches below the surface. To plow into this, and mix it with the surface-soil, arrested vegetation altogether. V. And again; There are soils, mainly illuvial, at once so mellow and so fertile that the roots of the cereals, and of most plants, will permeate and draw sustenance 'rom them though they are never disturbed )y the plow. There are portions of the ntervale of the Illinois where the muck is jixteen feet deep, very loose and rich. I vas told in California, that the grape, ;hough it had to be watered sparingly du-ing the first two summers, needed no irrigation thereafter in the valleys of that State, though they are dried up in summer ;o a depth of several feet. The roots strike lown through the rich loam below, till they ;an find moisture that they can appropriate and thrive upon. I judge that the valley of the Sacramento, and its main tribltaries, is often parched to a depth of four >r five feet. I have thus fully conceded that deep blowing is not everywhere requisite. Now, et me show where and why it is needed: I. It has been abundantly demonstra;ed here, that the roots of plants are often 'ound at a distance of several feet from the item. Any of us may have seen that this s as true of Indian corn as of Canada this;les; with a microscope and due patience ,he roots of wheat may be traced from four ;o six feet. Of course, these roots seek lourishment and find it. Nature, in the >road view, makes no abortive, at least, no vanton effort. Roots wander in search of 'ood not otherwise to be found. II. Our sub-soils are generally compact md repellent. Wherever a ditcher would laturally use a pick, there few roots can nake their way, except very slowly and by vasting effort. Few or no cereals or edi)le roots can feed and flourish on the pene;ration of such subsoils. And, while our lands and looser gravels are more easily 1 .1 iL. 1 i xaversea, mey seiaom contain tne piani"ood whereof the roots are in search. They iither remain unpenetrated, or the effort is mrewarded by any gain of nutrition to the )lant. III. Our summers and autumns are of;en persistently hot and dry. The con;inuously torrid suns which this year des;royed half the later crops of Europe, are lere encountered as often as every third rear. Drouth is one of the foremost causes of the failure of our crops. Our ances;or8 mainly emigrated hither from the British isles, from Holland, and the coasts )f Northern and Western Europe, where lumidity is the rule, protracted drouth the jxception. Sixteen inches of soil in our dimate is hardly equal, as an antidote to Irouth, to six inches in Ireland or Holland. <Vnd yet, the best farmers of those countries agree in commending deeper plowing. IV. What we advocate is not the buryng of the vegetable or natural surface-soil inder several inches of cold, lifeless clay, sand or gravel. If the sub-soil is not to be mrichcd, it may better remain the sub-soil; but that does not prove that it ought not to be lifted, stirred, serated, pulverized. The right thing to do is to enrich as well as -- - -?- ? ? d _ J. a OA?1 4" A n /I Ar\f h muiiuw ana leraiu tin; fuuic auu tu a ucpu nf fully eighteen inches, though twelve may inswer as a beginning: Use a Michigan, or a subsoil plow, if you will, and keep various strata where nature placed them; but ?ive your plants, like your cattle, a chance to reach food and drink at all times. Let iown the bars that would keep them from the life giving springs. V. Plants to look the soil for?1. anchorlge; 2. moisture; 3. most of their food. If they cannot find these more certainly and more abundantly in twelve to eighteen inches of soil than in six, then reason is a fool, mathematics a conjectural science, and i farmer should prefer a balance in hand or to his credit of $600 to one of $1,800. VI. We are told that roots prefer to run near the surface, loving the warmth of the sun. Let them run there, then; we do not binder them. Make the soil rich as well as leep, and let them run near the surface for warmth, or descend for moisture, or both, Ets they shall see fit. We give them free iom of choice. If a wet season attracts them to the surface, a dry one must constrain them to delve for moisture. It is our duty so to provide that they may flourish, however wayward the season. VII. I have a steep hillside, which I choose to cultivate, the soil being warm 1 and kind. Plow this six inches deep and , the first hard shower sweeps its soil by cart loads into the brook below, where it is use- j less. Plow it twice as deep, and not a peek of soil will be flooded off in a lifetime. VIII. In a wet season deep plowing i does, at the worst, no harm. In a dry season, it doubles the crop. IX. Unless a small army is more effec- 1 tive than a large one, an empty pocketbook better than a full one, a lean crop preferable to a large one, then a deep soil must be more productive than a shallow one. - TERM8-IN ADVANCE i One Copy, one year, 9 3 00 One Copy, Six months, 1 75 One Copy.
