We lifted him up on his saddle again, And through the mire and the mist and the rain Carried him back to the silent camp, And laid him es if asleep on his bed ; And I saw by the light of the surgeon's lamp Two white roses upon his cheeks, And one just over his heart blood red And I saw In a vision how far and peat That faird'bullet went speeding forth, Till ft reached s a town in the distant North, Till it reached a house in a runny street, Till it reached a heart that ceased to beat, Without a murmur, without a cry : And a bell was tolled In that far-off town For ono who had passed from crow's to crown ; And the neighbors wondered that she should die The Baby Soldier Another little private Mutttered in The army of temptation And of BM.

Lord, our little darling °nide and save, 'Mid the perils of the march To the grave, a,risittandL For tho Harald PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE NTJNIIIER Two We often hear comparisons drawn between theoretical and practical farming; the pre sumptuous theorist, wi'hout a knowledge of the laws of nature, and puffed up with self-pride arrogance and intellectual pride, and who perhaps never plowed an acre of ground in his life, and could not if he were called upon to o it, frequently asserting that this and that should he done thus and so, in opposition to the experienced, hard work ing, practical farmers. \Ve are not sur prised at the disgust often manifested by practical farmers towards empirical theo rists. We are not of those who would pre sume to dictate to the experience yeomen of the country,-or to have them to fritter away their hardly earned substance by chimerical experiments. What we aim at, is to stimu late our practical agriculturists to higher attainments in the science of agricultural chemistry, by which they will be enabled, more than they can be without it., to under stand cause and effect in the operations of the natural kingdom in the produdtion of vegetation and the varied organisms of nature; the result of which would be true agricultural progression. What the farmers want, is not to be told how to do this and that, but to understand what they do, and what will be the effect of their action. In the power of grasping abstract truth, and of linking together remote truths by chains:of analogical reasoning, wo may be distinguished from the lower order of the beings placed around us ; but in the exercise of these powers. we bear, perhaps, no resem blance whatever to the supreme Intellect. To!Ilim all truth is by intintiOn, for He sees and perfectly understands the end from the beginning ; by us, truth is only apprehended through the slow and toilsome process of comparison, so that the powers and capacit ies forming the very implements of our strength, are also indications of our weak ness ; in some of our capacities, we may, perhaps, exhibit a faint shadow of a portion of our Maker's image, but in the reasoning power of which we sometimes vainly boast, wo boar to Him, no resemblance whatsoever. Simplicity of character, humility, and love of truth, ought therefore to be, and gener ally have been, among the attributes of minds well trained in philosophy. Although the amount of scientific knowl edge in this century, may be justly called great; yet it is as nothing in comparison with the magnitude of the objects of the cre ation, and while it shall please God to con tinuo us in this world, where so much is to be done, and so much is to be learned, we should embrace every means within our reach, which can qualify us for the right performance of our duties, with unre mitting zeal, and In humble reliance upon God for his blessing upon nur efforts. Within the past halt century there has been a remarkable increase of facilities for agricultural operations, beyond that of any other period in the history of the world, af fording the means by which agricultural labor has been very much lessoncid and,ren- Ainrea-."Yooe-well us mode; moreAmofitablo. In ono sense, the increase of facilities is agri cultural progression; but only in that of lessening labor in cultivation and harvest ing. They do not produce an increase of the vegetable productions of the earth, ex cept in,the sense of enabling farmers to cul tivate more land with them, nor do they in any wise better the quality or increase the quantity of what.is produced. Improved agricultural implements are certainly an ev idence of progression in the science of agri culture, but only as adjuncts and in a re striated sonse,, and not as .essential •progres• &ion. That which will tend to, and which does increase the quantity and bettor the quality of what is produced is •essential and true progression. Chemistry enables us to 'discover and to explain the changes of composition.that occur among, the • integrant and constituent parts of different bodies, not accompanied by sensible emotions, and, by which the inti .mato nature_of different organisms is chang ed, or by which they acquire now - properties. The Creator, in his power andgeodness, has constituted the, earth of Anaterials that are incapable of conducting heat to any great extent, and therefore it chiefly remains at or near the surface, where it is needed for the promotion of germination and vegitablo life. Solar heat -impinges, om,thorsuritme ,of the earth, and-there chiefly remains, as it cannot, esc4e,downwards on account of the, bad conducting naaterials of which, the earth is constituted ; and , hence, oven in dry seasons, ,at a , few ,:inches; below the surface, there - is always n sufficient degree of moisture for the gormination'of seed. seed ,caat into perfectlf ririd•soil wpuld not germinate, and, at hest, woulc lay dormant, or have the ger minating principle destroyed by aridity•.or heat, without moisture., , After, germination has. taken place,, the pumule of a plant aaceLds and the radicle de scends and remains.biolow. , thq,,surfaete;l and seas out .its Itbravamldst tholoit, iniscarcA moisture and valuable matters, and by an ,incomprehensible vital power transfers them into 06 body of the plant, where they un dergo a mysterious elaboration to form the fluid called sap. As soils consist of different components, so their temperature varies, as also do the different degrees of moisture ; some will re tain moisture longer than others, and some will attract moisture from the atmosphere. As different plants require different degrees of caloric and moisture, the farmer wants to know, before ho commits his Seed to the earth, what the character of the soil is, and whether it is composed of such constituents as will afford the kind of nourishment which the plant requires, to produce the greatest quan tity of its fruit, He wants to know the con stituents of the grain or seed which he in tends committing to the earth, as well as the character of the soil, which would enable him intelligently to decide upon the adapta- tion of the one to the other.

The civil rights bill, wich our .11 . 16ses put s foot into we thought was dead And we fired great, guns, and hung out our flags, with we laid aside in 1860, and made a joyful noise. For we said one unto another, lo I he is a true Moses, inasmuch ez he is a leadin us out uv the wilderness. Tho civil rites bill wuz the serpent wet bit us, and ho hilted it, that we might look and live NO* let us be joyful! For the Ethiopian is delivered into our hands, bound hand and foot. Blessed be Moses ! We will make him grind our corn, but he shel not eat thereof. Blessed be Moses! We will make him tread out our wheat, but we will muzzle his mouth. Blessed be Moses ! Ile shall pick our cotton, but the hire ho receiveth he shall stick in his eye without injuring the sight thereof. Blessed ho °sem He shall toil in the sugar mill, but the sugar shall he not sell. Blessed be Moses His sweat shall nourish our corn, but he shall eat nary ear thereof. Blessed be Moses I We will burn his school-houses and des troy his spelling books, (for shall the nigger be our superior?) and who shall stay our hand? The skool teachers we will tar and feath er, and whar is the bloo-koted hireling to make us afeerd? 131essed be ➢loges ! We looked at the nigger and said, ha ha I the last state uv that cattle is woes nor the fust, for before we hed his labor while ho wuz strong and healthy, but had to take care on him when he wuz sick and old, and now wo kin git his labor without the care. Blessed be Moses! The Ablishnists cast out ono devil, and garnished the room, but there wuz seven devils more stronger and hungrier which rushed in and pre-empted the premises. Blessed be Moses ! But our song uv joy wuz turned into a wale uv anguish. Moses sought to hist the serpent, but the serpent histed him. He's on a polo and the bitin North wind is n blowin onto him. He can't get up any higher because his pole ain't any longer, and he can't get down because ho ain't no place to light onto. Ho vetoed the bills and Congress hez ve toedhirn— the civil rights bill passed in a uncivil manlier. Now, boin the nigger hoz rights, he is our elcal. Our elcil is the nigger now, and onless the skool-houses is burned and the spollin books destroyed ho will soon bo our superior. Wo wuz to give him the right uv bein sued, but alas ho kin sue.

NA.BIIY, Lait Pastor uv the Church uv the Noo Dispensanhun Remarks of Gen. Garfield on the Death of President Lincoln. I desire to enter a motion that this House be now adjourned. This day will be mem orable as long as the nation shall endure— which God grant may be till the last moment of recorded time, when the volume of the world's history shall be sealed up and placed before the Omnipotent Judge for his sen tence. On this day, for all time to come, I doubt not the citizens of this Republic will meet together, looking into each other's faces with solemn sadness, as they recall the event of this day in MTh, an event unpar alleled in the history of nations—certainly unparalleled in our own. I think it emi nently proper that this Congress should put on its record to-day, a resolution in memory of the event. The war, with its wonderful events, gave to history many distinguished names. It took the young men of the land and made them into heroes. It made the old men patriots, and women became minis tering angels all over the land; but chief among all the great developments of the war wore the character and life of that great man, whose loss tho nation still deplores. He is aptly described in the language of or.e of England's great poets as— " That divinely gifted man, Whose life in low estate began, Upon a simple village green. Who breaks his birth's Invidious bar, And grasps the skirts of happy chance, And breasts the blows of circumstance • And grapples with his evil star. Who makes by force his merits known, And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty State's decree. And shape the whisper of the throne: And moving up from high to higher Becomes on fortune's crowning slope, The pillar of a people's hope, The centre of a world's desire." Such a life and such a character will go down to all time as the great and sacred possession of the American people. But there is more than the mere character of any one man c in that great struggle through which we have passed. There were two scenes in the drama of the rebellion. Ono was the military scene, with all its death, all its sufferings, sighs and tears! That scone was closing one year ay last night. Just as the curtain was lifting on the new and final scene, the restoration of peace, liberty and order ; just as the curtain was rising to show the new characters—the evil spirit of rebellion and treason could not resist its de sire to strike one blow, and to cause the chief character in the scene then closing', Ao per- ish by the hand of an assassin. It was not in the hand bf ono man that killed President Lincoln, it was the embod ied spirit of treason and slavery, concen trated into fearful hate, that struck him down in that supreme hour of the naticn's ]oY• There are times in the history of men oid of nations when they seem to stand as closely by the veil which shuts out mortals from immortality, time from eternity, and man from God. Such a time have we passed through—when 250,000 patriotic spirits broke through the folds of that veil and went up into the presence of God ; and when at last its parting folds adTitted the President to go, with the dead heroes of the Republic, the nation felt indeed that it could hoar the whispers of God coming down among the children of Men. Kneeling at that troubled hour, when joy and sadness were so strange ly commingled, the American people listen .od" to the voice of their God, and made a solemn covenant with Him and with each other, that this tuition should be redeethed and all its glories restored, and that on the ruins of slavery and treason, the temples of freedom an'd', justice should be built, and should aurvivalliiaver. I remains with us, Mr. Speaker, conse crated by that great event, and under the covenant of God, to keep that faith, and to go on in the good work until it shall bo corn. pleted,lloWing the load of that great man, and reverently, following the lead of God, let us remember- r .

Inclined to be Quarrelsome There was once a lit to slim-built fellow, rich as a Jew, riding along a highway in the State of Georgia, when he overtook n man driving a .drove of hogs, by the help of a big raw-boned six-foot-two specimen of humanity. Stopping the last-named in dividual, he accosted him: ' I say, are those your bogs V 'No, sir; I am at work by the month." ' What pay might you be getting, friend I" Ten dollars a month and whiskey thrown in," was the reply. "Well, look lore I'm a weak, little in offensive man, and people are apt to impose upon me, d'ye see. Now, I'll give you twenty-five dollars a month to ride with me and protect me," said Mr. Gardner. " But," he added, as a thought struck him, how might you be on the fight?" " Never been licked in my life, .! rejoined the six-footer. Just the men I want. Is it a bargain queried Gardner. Six-footer ruminated Twenty-five dollars ; double wages ; nothing to do but ride around and smash a ffnnow'simug occasionally, when he is sassy." Six-footer accepted. They road along, till, just at night, they reached a village inn. Gardner immediately singled out the biggest fellow in the room, and picked a fuss with him. 'After' considerable promisc , :us jawing, Gardner turned to his fighting friend and intimated - that the whipping of that man had bet ome a sad necessity. Six-footer peeled, went in, and came out first best. The_next, night at another hotel, the same scene was re-enacted, Gardner get'inL; into a row with the biggest man in the place, and six-footer doing the fighting. At last on the third day, they came to a ferry, kept by a huge, double-fisted man, who had never been licked in his hie.-- While crossin• the river, Gardner, as usual. began to find fault, and " blow." The ferryman naturely got mad, threw thins round, and told him his opinion of their kind. Gardner then turned to his friend and gently broke the inteligener to him " that he was sorry, but it was absolutely r eccessary to thrash the ferr'yman." Six-footer nodded his head, but said nothing. It was plainly to be seen that he did not relish the job by the way he shrug ged his shoulders ; but there was no help for it. So when they reached the shore, both stripped, and at it they went. Up and down the bank, over the sand, into the wat er, they fought, scratched, gouged, bit and rolled, till at the end of an hour the ferry man gave in. Six-footer was triumphant, but it had been rough work. Going up to his employer, he scratched his head for a moment, and then broke forth: "Look here, Mr. Gardner, your salary sets mighty well—but I'm—of—the—opin ion—that you'r inclined to be quarrelsome. Here, I've only been with you three days, and I've licked the three biggest men in the country I I think this firm had better die solve; fom you see Mr. Gardner, I'm afraid, you're inclined to be quarrelsome, and I reckon I'll draw."
