In the cool and quiet nooks,
Uy the side of running brooks;
lu Uie forest's tjreen letreat,
With the branches overhead,
Xestling at the old tree's feet,
Chouse we there our mossy bed.
On tall cliffs that woo the breeze,
Where 110 human footstep presses,
And no eye our beauty sees,
There we wave our maiden, tresses.
In the mouths of mountain eaves,
Whence the rapid torrent gushes,
Joying in the spray that laves,
As it wildly foaming rushes.
In the deft of frowning walls,
On old ruins sad and hoarv,
Filling up the ancient halls
With u new and verdant glory.
Where the shady banks are steepest,
Sheltering from the sunlight's glow,
Loving best the shadiest, deepest"
Whore the tallest hedge-rows grow.
lu the pleasant woodland glade.?,
Where the antlered deer are straying,
Lifting there our lof:y heads, " c
There our mimic groves displaying.
Then the treacherous marsh's bosom,
Decking with our regal pride,
There alone allowed to blossom,
(Boon to ad our kin denied.)
Though vre boast no lovely bloom,
Thai can rival with the iiowers ;
Though we fling no sweet, perfume;
Thjugh no varied hue is ours
Yet hath nature framed our race
In a mold so light and fair,
Tliat a beauty and a grace
fehed we round us everywhere.

thrust each a thousand-dollar bill into
my vest pocket, unbe knownst, while,
they were showing me the plan of

found it was no use saying I should
never sell my vote again. I was
wasting my breath nobody would
believe me. For awhile I confess I
was ' mulvathen d.' I didn't know

struck me that, if the lobby wouldn't

next day there appeared in the Ar

Look, 'will praise thee when thou

both praise and pudding without

with all the severity which a young

"Mr. Peghamraer drew a longsigh.

the table an alternative one prepartd
in the event of my ' coming the Jew

than a good-mot uing he was tinning
toward the door.
" ' One instant,' said I. ' Mr. Peg

wiiuuiew, making a lioise with his
umbrella in the vain attempt to hide
that he went down stairs chuckiing
"The next day all the Albany pa
pers published a card as follows:
" 4 The Treasurer of the fund for erecting
a home for Soldiers' Widows and OrphnnS
begs to acknowledge the receipt of iflT.Viu
for that object, contributed by Apollos l'eg

" Of course, Peghammer took the
papers, but he only smiled at me,
half reverentially, as he met me in
the street.
" When I tell you that I held in
terviews similar to that just related
with over a hundred lobby men be
fore the last week of the session, and
that the final decision of all the im
portant bills had been fought till then,
you will understand that 1 had a good
fishtfid of greenbacks for all the
widows and orphans, and that some
thing over a hundred contributors to
their fund were smiling in foolish
expectation of my working ' the
gi and pious dodge' as much for their
interests as they supposed I had for
my own.
' Imagine then the dismay with
which these life-members of my

! nine-tenths of the measures to whose

J ' Da- after day, in going home j

from mobbing a man; I strenuously
used my privilege, re

Mechanical Uses of Castor Oil.

l!s0 ' castor 0i' in the trades, more
particularly its application to leather;
it is much better to soften and redeem
old leather than any other oil known.
When boots or shoes are greased
with it, the oil will not at all inter
fere with'the polishing afterward", as is
the case with lard, olive or any other
oil. In JIarrisburg, Pa., the old
leather hose of some of the fire com
panies was greased with it, and found
to become almost as soft and flexible
arui new leather,
Leather belts for
transmitting motion to macutnery
wiM usually last from three to five
years, according to the wear and tear
they are exposed to ; when greased
with castor oil they will last ten
years or more, as they always remain
flexible and do not crack. Beside
this advantage, castor oil will prevent
slipping, so that a belt three inches
wide, impregnated with it, will be
cental to a belt four and a half inches
without castor oil. It is necessary,
however, to wait twenty.-four hours,
til! the oil has disappeared from the
surface end penetrated the leather,
otherwise the freshly greased surface
will cause slipping. The rats and
other vermin detest anything impreg
nated with castor oil, and will not
touch it another advantage.
Extensive Hide. A prominent
leather dealer of Philadelphia re
cently sokl two sides of leather weigh
ing one hundred and two pounds at
twenty-five cents per pound, amount
ing to $51 00 The leather is the
hide of an extra fatted ox which was
killed at one of the barbacues pre
ceding the election of Gen. Harrison
to the Presidency, about twenty-five
years ago. It was originally tanned
for belting purposes, but being a re
markably good pattern hide, and
extra well tanned, it was kept many
years as a specimen. By frequent
oilir.g it has been kept in a fine state
of preservation, and is now as soft
and pliable as when first tanned.
The pureha-er will use it for pump
valves in a mine in Pennsylvania.
An Old Corporation. One of
the tildest co-operative concerns in
the country is the Nrtrthfield (Conn.)

by a number of striking workmen
twenty years ago, with an investment
of five dollars for each man, and has
been carried on successfully in the
same manner ever since. Though
the beginning was small, the business
and the capital of the corporation has
increased, dividends have been de

SHE TIIE OTIIEIl SIDE.-'
Have you ever thought cf what a
world of advice is contained in these
few words? IIow much pain, and
injustice, how much unnecessary un
happiness might be avoided by atten
tion to their meaning ! lit collect
the story of the two knights w ho, sip
proaching each other on opposite
sides of a burnished shield supported
on a column at a road crossing, ex
claim in the same breath, the one on
the beauty of this golden shield, the
other on the excellent Workmanship
of this silver shield. This slight dif
ference led to a warm argument, end
ing, as the story goes, in their placing
each other " ho"s du combat." A
good Samaritan passing by restored
each to consciousness, and leading
them around the innocent occasion
of their combat, showed them that it
faced gold one way and silver the
other, and sent them on their way
with a very favorable impression of
the beauty of " See the other side."
Rut to me these words say more,
and I imagine they may be remem.
bered with advantage in a variety eif
circumstances. Briefly let me tell
you some of the lessons. When you
are sorely tempted ; when sin pre
sents her fairest face to lead you
from your path, hesitate, halt, and
wait till you can calmly contemplate
" the other side."
Never, when you hear one propose
a work to be accomplished, tell him
" that is impossible ;" check the word
on your lips. That which is to-dcy
looked upon as impossible will to
morrow be accomplished. Yea, tho'
twenty attempts have failed, discour
age not another, but recollect there
may be still another point of view
still another side, pjkich, being seen,
the thing is done !
And one step farther: Are yoa in
trouble ? Are you poor ? Do you
find it hard work to get along, young
man ? Do you "earn your bread by
the sweat of your brow 1 ' Ihese
may rot be misfortunes ! Trouble
may serve to moderate your over
estimation of worldly good, may turn
you from " the things which are
seen'' to the contemplation of " the
things which are not seen,'' " the
things which are eternal,'' and the
baptism of trial work out your salva
tion ! And why complain of pov
erty ? Study the lives of these who
stand out in bold relief for the good
they have done the world. How
many of them have owed their emi
nence to the necessity which coni
peded them in their youth to battle
with the world and carve a path for
themselves through all obstacles.
No, don't complain ; but rather turn
to account even the mountains in
your path, and, you may rely upon
it, if you do your best, you will say,
It lean v:ell as ii was, when year
liave rolled on and you have at length
reached a point from which you can
look back and " see the other side.''
Staktling Pictuke of Taxation.
A committee of the New York
Constitutional Convention on the
finances of that Stale give a startling
picture of the taxation to which her
citizens are subjected. The debt of
the State is set. down at $13,351,
G?S.'2'2, and of cities, villages, coun
ties, and towns at $So,000,0C0, mak
ing a total of -$133,:35LG8S.2d. The
proportion of the national indebted
ness chargeable to New York is esti
mated at $500,000,000, making the
total of State nnd national indebted
ness $033 331,082 20. The assessed
valuation of property is S 1,030,-132, .
015. The annual taxation is estimated
as follows :
Taxation by the State ?12,?.0i,(V)0 00
Do. by counties and towns, S2, 0011,000 00
Do. by Cities and villages, is, 000,000 00
Internal revenue taxat ion ... . C2,1S1,C'.I3 so
Share of customs duties 5(',non,0(ji o,,
Total Si-o 'jsi,S:e? 60
The report adds that " if this ex
cessive annual taxation should be cap
italized it would require the sum of
$3,000,000,000 at six per cent, to
pay it, which is $1,400,000,000 more
than the assessed value of the whole
property."
Varnish for Rollers. Take one
pint of beer or ale and add four oun
ces of brown sugar to it, and you will
have a mixture that will put a "face"
on a roller that has lost its suction,
and make it take in a short time af-
ter applying it. llie mixture or
"varnish" is to be npplied with a j
sponge. Printers will understand it. j
Tomato Wine. Take small rine
tomatoes, pick off the stems, put them
in a basket or tub, wash clean, then
smash well and strain through a linen !
rag ; (a bushel will make five gallons
pure;) then add two and a half to
three pounds of good brown sugar to j
each gal on, then put it into a cask ;
and itt it lermenf as for raspberry
wine. If two gallons
of water be i
added to each bushel of tomatoes the j
wine will be as good.
coAir'iicriciAi.. statistics.
At the great council of raibad
men held in Portland, Maine, Tasc
July, measures were discussed look
ing to th continuation of the No fib.
ern Pacific Railroad as the great line
of transportation between the two
oceans. General Stuart, of the U.
S. Engineer Corps, made a speech
principally relative to the Niagara
ship Ciinal. He said he had surveyed
four different lines, varying from
eight to sixteen miles in ftnth, at
an estimate cost of $ 1 2,000.H)0.
President Lincoln, lb whom he re
ported his results, said that the canal
could be built for one day's expenses
of the war. He had carefully esti
mated that the transportation of graiii
through this canafcs would be eight
cents cheaper per bushel than by any
other route, and that a toll of only
two cents a bushel would pay for tho
canal in five yo?trs; and that wheat
could be sent by it and this route to
Portland, so as to open a profitable
market in France and elsewhereori
the Continent. At this juncture, tho
meeting became so decjued in its de
monstrations in this regard, that a
resolution was introduced and passed
unanimously, 'That the Niagara ship)
canal ought and must be built; and
Maine will not be backward in her
Congressional delegation and other
wise in aiding the good work along.'
Gen. George P. Shepley made ii
witty and forcible speech, in which
he declared that the proposed road
would result in a grruid cordon line
of iron road that should be on tho
same general parallel of latitude from
Canton, across Asia, Europe and
America, from the mundane Orient
to the Occident.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
notices the enormous grain trade of
the West, and its rapid increase, ai
follows :
The unparalleled development cf
the West in population and produc
tion will, in the ensuing thirty years,
give a trade between the West and
New York equal to upward of $3,009,
000,000, to go through the canals
when they shall be made sufficiently
capacious for its accommodation.
There will be this amount of trade,
aside from that by the railways. A
canal boat, of the size now navigating
the Erie canal, two hundred and fifty
tons burden, will carry as much hh
one railway train of twenty-five cars.
From seventy to eighty boats of th
class can be laden with grain and dis
patched eastward in each and e'verv
twenty-four hours. If the canals
should be ignored, and the entire
business now done upon thern should
be transferred to the railroads, it
would require four freight trains to
be dispatched daily by the Central,
nud lorty by the Erie, m addition to
the business they are now doing.
Twenty-five years ago the grain trade
of th.s city was between two and
three million bushels annually. It
now averages from fifty to sixty mil
lion bushels iinmial'y, in addition to
the Hour trade. The receipts of grain
at this port iu one day last year was
upward of three milbon bushels. The
receipts of grain here on MondaP
last, were upward of seven hundred
thousand bushels, besides upward of
a million of staves, and six millii
feet of lumber. Estimating the re
sults of the future by the past, the
time is riot far distant when the grain
trade at this point will be a hundred
million bushels annifally. A move
ment of sixty million bushels of grain
by rail would require 0,657 trains of
twenty-five cars each, eoual to seven
teen trains daily, by each of the two
roads during the entire navigation
season of two hundred days, and yet
the grain trade is scarcely one half
the tonnage to be moved.
Stamping Letters. A South
Carolina paper says : An old negro
woman, on Tuesday last, gave a let
ter to the mail agent on the Carolina
train, at a station near Branchvillc,
and asked him to send it for her.
Tiie agent said the letter roust bo
stamped. The old woman became
indignant, said the darkies were free,
and " Whar de use of freein' de cul
lud pussons cf you don't, free de let
ters, too and finally yelled out,
" IIow many stamps he want, eh ?"
The mail ager.t said" three !" Down
went the letter and down went tho
old woman's heel. " Dar! dar ! dar!
Dar's three stamps; dat enuff, eh ?"
She was in angry earnest, and the
bystanders were amused accordingly.
The agent saw the joke, volunteered
to pay the money stamp,
ana mas
doubly stamped, the letter was sent
to its destination.
