Stonewall Jackson's Early Life at West Point When the day came for the exami nation of the section in which Jack? son was placed, the poor fellow was in a most unhappy state of miud. Hia whole soul was bent upou passing. When be went to the blackboard tbo perspiration wns streaming from bis fuce, nnd duriug the whole examina tion his anxiety was painful to wi t. ness. While trying to work out hia example in fractions the cufTs of his coat, bist the right and then the left, were brought into requisition to wipe off the perspiration which streamed from his face. But be passed credi tably, and I shall never forget how pleased be looked as be was told that he could Uike his scat, and I think every member of the examining board turned away his head to bide the sinilo which could not be suppressed. Examination over, then camo the en campment. The suit of jeans was re placed by the cadet uniform, and then "Old Jack" looked at a little distance, like the most of plebs. After encampment came the season for study, and you may be sure that uo time was idled away by "the member from Clarksburg." Never was there such beuing (a West Point expression for bard study.) His whole life was devoted to the one thing of preparing for the January examination. Here he \v?s again successful, but the scene at the blackboard, although in midwinter, was a (repetition of the one in June. He found himself rather low down in his class, but be had learned how to study, and he bad the hearty sympathy and good will of all the professors and instructors. At the second June examination he pass ed so well that be was well up in his class, end out of all danger. But he never relaxed his hold. Through the whole lour years ho wus one of the hardeststudents. * At evesy examina tion he rose higher and higher, and had llie course \ieetl five yeurs 'insieiui of. lour, 1 believe "Old Jack" would have brought up in the engineer corps. Jackson's career in the army dur ing the few years be remained in it was highly creditable to him. He commanded a section of Magruder%a Battery at the storming of Chappulte pec, and those of the old oflicers who saw him on that occasion will never forget his cooluess and the dogged courage with which be held bis posi tion under a terrible fire from the castle. He was of the same order of man as George H. Thomas?men whom nothing could daunt, und who were alwaa found in the right place, and whom nothing but death could take from what they considered their place of duty. Good Advice. Governor Vance, at the Weldoh Fair, gave bis hearers some very sound advice. lie said the late war had taught the South several impor tant lessons, which be proceeded to specify. One of them was, that cot ton is not king, but that meat and bread are, and be urged the Impor te nee not only of producing enough of these for home use, but also of engag ing in manufactures. "We must not rely upou the North " be said, "for our wheel bubs and axe handles our buggy shafts, and every mechanical and domestic article we use, but must get to making those articles for our selvas." Another lesson was, that the South? ern people should hut depend alto gether upon negro labor, but must go to work lor themselves. He drew a picture of half a dozen white men "sit ting around a store door, whittling white pine and cursing the negro be cause he won't work," and in contrast with this he painted the happiness and independence of a family "who are not ashamed, nor afraid, nor loo lazy to do their own work." ibis is good, wholesome talk, a d its utter ance by a Democratic Governor of a Southccn State shows how groat a change the war and its concomitant events have really wrought. Lot those good people of the North, who feel that the South cannot be trusted to get along without the special super vision of the Federal Government tako courage from thi.s evidence of progress. The reform which springs from tbo ^lidst of a people, and has its origiu in their own expanding idoas and improving k< ntimeuts, is iuiinitely more substantial than any tvhiuh could be imposed by an exterior force. Originality in Farming. There are two ways in which a far mer may manage his business. He may observe definite rules without regard to varying circumstances, or be may be guided by his own judg ment and regulate his own operations according to conditions. There is a tendency among a {urge class of far mers to be guided by maxims which they have received from their fathers, They plant their corn an I wheat as nearly as possible on stated days or at stated time i of the moon. They hoe and cultivate their corn a given num ber of times with -ut much regard to tba condition of the soil, and in all the routine of farm wotk they keep as nearly ns possible in the old track, believing that to be the only safe, one. When we consider the variety of circumstances under which the same crops are raised in different localities, it is evident that no rules can be given for their management that it will be best to follow in all cases. There are fields of corn , that will thrive and produce well with very little culture, while others will be nearly ruined by quack grass and thistles, without ver\ thorovgh culti vation. Sometimes the weeds ure of such a kind that smoothing harrow is the best implement that can be used for destroying them, while at others the time-honored corn plow ts the onlv instrument that will prove effoe ! tual. .Ljiless ?i lie {uriucr use- HL^.r^ ment in the management of hi-corn he will not always get it at the least cost pcrbusbel. The same may be said of every de partment of farm labor. The old ru'es may be safe, but there is some times a better way, and the farmer who can look beyond, and see when his practice?and it may be varied with piofit?has an advantage over others. There is as much"opportunity for ma ' iug good results in raising crops by taking advantage of circuiu Btnncos, as there is in sidling them by taking advantage of the markets. It is of ten noticed that the farmers who do the most bard work do not always succeed the besi. This is because they do little think ing. The question should always be: "How can I apply my labor so that it will be most effectual!'' Many far ! iners accomplish more with tber heads than with their bauds. There is an opportunity for origi nality not only in the management of crops, but as well in all the appur tenance of the farm.? Dingo /itini/. - - ?? tm% ? - - - ? -? Singular Vitality of Trees. A correspondent of the Georgia Grange gives the following account of a long sea-transportation of trees, and their prolonged vitality under adverse circumstances. It is vouched for as being correct. The correspond - cut says: ' Mr. Parson,our inform ant, says ibat before leaving Atlanta, two years ago, be gave an order to a house in that city for 130 apple trees, 100 pear, 30 grape-vines, 6 figs, 2 mul berry, 2 walnut, 2 pomegrantes, and a number of peach,cherry and plum trees. He directed his order sent to Aukland via Liverpool. By the oversight or neglect Jof his agent, this selection of fruit trees reached its destination in precisely ten months, j lacking two days. When the tigent at Aukland advised Mr. Parson of I the arrival of bis trees, of course this j badly-treated gentleman refused to I receive them. But the agent was so anxious to have a test made of the | vitality of the trees that he o lie red to sharo tbo loss in the freight, which j w as just $10 for a trip of 7,000 miles. Mr. Pnrson agreed to the proposition, took the treea to his farm, a little way out of the city, aud after letting them lie for forty-eight hours in hid spring branch, lie planted them out. Now for the result. Of the 130 trees, 120 were alive and nourishing beauti ltillv 4in July, when Mr. Parson left home; of the pears thirteen lived and did well; fifteen out of the thirty grapevines lived; five out of six figs; both of the mulberiies; both of the walnuts. The stone fruit all died above the roots, but many of the roots were alive. These trees were parked in a large box, and remained in it we may say ton mouths, and traveled 3,000 mile? to Liverpool an 1 7,000 to Aukland. The Lion Lav/ Re-Enacted. The old lien law has been re-en acted with only such new features as are embodied in the following: "Sec 5. That each landlord leas ing land for agricultural purposes shall have a prior and preferred lien for rent to the extent of one-third of all crop8 raised on his land, and en foroible in the same manner as liens for advances, which said lien shall be Valid withniU rrnnrdjn.- 0y fiisus*." That Section ? be amended so as to read us follows: Sec. G. That every lien for advan ces and for rent, when the agreement is lor more than one-third of the croj), shall be filed in the office of the Register of Mesne Conveyances for the county in which the lienorresides within thirty days from the clays of the lien; and the said lien for rent over one-third of the crop shall there - bjj no made valid; and the -aid Reg ister shad keep an index of all such liens so tiled, for each of which he shall receive fifteen cents from the party filing the same, and this .?hall be a sufficient record of t he same." Froni this it will be seen that the ;> ?'i^ Jmportaiii changes ag* two : first, the lau i owner- cauiiot be de prived of rent ? f one*third of the crops, by reason of a lien given to any one else; second, the expense of recording is reduced from 81.50 to 15 cents. The law has not yet re ceived the signature of the Governor, bui doubtless will in a few days. The Legislature has acted wisely in this matter, as a large number of the poor er class of citizens will feel much re lief at the resuscitation of a measure, which will (liable them to puss through the year without suffering. The Oak and the Squirrel. It is not generally known how much we, as a lnnratime nation, are indebted to our litt'e friends, the squirrels, 'fhese active little fellows render important service to our navy; for most of the line oak trees, \.hieh are impoilnnt in ship-building, es pecially for vessels of war, aro pi anted by the squirrel. A gentleman walk ing one day in the wood belonging to the Duke of Beaufort, in tho county of Monmotilh, of England, hud his attention attracted by one of these crackers of mils; the squirrel sat very composedly upon the ground, ami the gentleman paused, to watch his mo tions. In a few moments the crea ture darted with wonderful swiftness* to the top of the tree beneath which it had been sitting. In an instant he returned, currying an acorn in his mouth; this acorn he did not eat but , lie began to dig a ho o in the ground with his paws. When the hole was large and deep enough to please him, ho dropped the acorn into it, and then covered up his treasure. This little animals industry was certainly not with the intention of providing us with oaks, but with thai of provid iiig for himself, when food would he less plen iful; the holes were his winter store-house. As it is probable that the pquirrel's memory is not suffi ciently retentive to enable him to remember all the spots in which he deposits these acorns, the industrious little fellow no doubt loses a few every year; toeso spring up, anil in due ith tlio timber our Joseph and Madame Potiplict A French lady, distinguished in society as having hit i mor ! than any other woman, die I the i day, leaving her husband u fi bo had long sighed lor at <i an cut half.
