Xr. Stephens' Book. When Davis laid down tbe sword, Stephens took up the pen. It is not his nature to yield. What the force of arms could not accomplish, the power of roason misrht , a yet achieve : the thinker came to t> c rescue of the soldier. lie saw, what au over-powered and disheartened people could not sec, that the field was not wholly lost, t^e debate by no means closed. He had a double w*ork to do. He had to vindicate himself in the eyes of his countrymen who doubted his fidelity to their cause, and lie had tq vindicate that cause in the eyes of the world, which bad been taught to believe that bowever great the provocation, the Confederate struggle had no shadow of constitutional justification. This was not a light task. That Mr. Stephens n' w has the confidence and esteem of his Confederate countrymen, is a matter of tact. He stands higher this dav in their eyes than he ever stoot^ That the cause of State rights hi? taken new root in thA o/~>nfho?-r> mind, and that Mr. Stephen*1 hook has been the occasion, Is also a matter of fact. For the space of a year Mr. Stephens1 arguments were alternately assailed and defended in a leading organ of northern thought, 1 fie Round TabUx and it is but simple truth to say that while the assailants were almoSt invariably wasted, the defenders, unwilling at-first to use the whole armory of Mr. Stephens, and to take the positions which he had carefnlly selected, were at Jest forced to do both, and thus, in a manner not altogether strange to , the history of aiscussions. over throw their antagonists ana at the samo time became prisoners them* ! aL- a *s oi>w?'priwnura wi (no iruiD.

Lord Bt, Leonards is "eight eight years of age. He is old enough to Lave some faint recollections of the French Revolution.

His voice, it is true, was low, and his articulation somewhat indistinct, bnt be exhibited flashes of Ida old fire and vigor.

Tiik Parsnif.?Th? parsnip is one ot the most valuable roots that grow. In the island of Jersey it is need almost exclusively for fattening both cattle and swine. According to LeContenr, the weight of a good crop varies from thirteen to twenty-seven tons per acre. When parsnips are given to milch cows, with a little nay, in winter season, the butter is fonnd to be of as fin* a color and excellent flavor as when the animals are feeding in the best pasturage. As parsnips contain six per cent, more mucilage than carrots, the difference may he sufficient to acconnt for the superior fattening as well aa buttermaking qnnlitles of the parsnip. In the fattening of cattle the parsnip is found superior to the carrot, performing the business with more expedition, and affording meat of exquisite and juicy flavor; the an imals eat it wuh much greediness. m u -# ? ? - ? > mo mint ui experiment snows that not only in neat cattle, bat in the fattening of bogs and poultry, the animals become fat mnch sooner, and are more healthy than when led with any other root or vegetable, and that, besides, the meat it more sweet and delicious. The parsnip leaves being more balky than those of the carrot, may be mown oft* before taking the roots, and given to oxen, cows or horses, by whieh they will be greedily eaten. Another thing in flavor of the parsnip for this country, is that the frost doss not injure them. They may remain in the ground until spring, when they make splendid feed, at a time when every other kind of root or anything green is scarce. Or, they may be slightly i buried, where they can be obtained almost any time daring the winter. ***** 5-5 <*53 ' 4 |s?
