the vision of ayeps moss.
Db&R Editor:— Thinking ‘it may prove a
heart-refreshment, a mental '-feast, to many a
Covenanter;-we send you *fhe following poetic
effusion of a Scottish shepherd hoy. When a
child, we transcribed it from an old book or
pamphlet (the title of which is how forgotten)
into Ohr school copy-hook, where we frequently'
treasured, among the monotonous, stereotpyed
copies, what we consideredUterary gems, either
Qf-prose or verse. The otfllr day, we remem-
old copy-book, that hod laid buried
seclusion for years, without being
TpgpOr. seldom seen; and, after “ a diligent
sllrcb " in an old trank, among£* treasures that
* memory loves to keep ” at roll of
old yellow foolscap, and
Eureka! With the poetry, We also copied a
short biography of its author, which in future
we may find time to send to you, as we believe
it also would interest your readers, whose heart
stridgsWillthrill .and thrill as they rend.this
“vision” of those terrible days when men’s
souls were tried, of WhithftlV Saviour spoke,
when he said, "Tea, thatffiMtedmetli that who
ever killeth you will 'think that he doeth Cod
service.” Well would it’be for us, professing
to be Covenanters,, ctft to .ponder the blessings
and privileges we enjoy ia this land of religious
liberty, and, by coiiaparihg'them with the sore
privations of our;Coyenanting forefathers, and
also the meagre harvest of our good deeds, self
sacrifices; high and zeal, earnest,: humble 1
devotion; exclaim, Lord, what unworthy ser
vants yre.are. : How did they esteem the prin
ciples of s the bhurdh we all say we love so
much 1 For these same principles that we
profess, they left their sweet homes, their near
est, dearest fiends, their lovely, tender infants,
smiling on the mother’s bosom, all unconscious
of the evil around them, their brightest hopes
and highest worldly interests, and fled to the
caves tefndifte hunger^
thirst and the deprivation, of every physical
comfort ; , and, when »eyen there, hunted out by
the’bloodhounds of persecution, compelled to Sub
mit to torture, or stand and-receive the deadly
contents of the carbine into their hearts rather
than yield up one of their precious principles.
This was true redigion r in primitive simplicity,
that sought rfbifeaWEly? farife’ fSd ! ite
held in holy contempt the meed of praise that
comes from the hollow heart of the world, its
lying vanities, its empty show. They did
nothing to be seen of men, butmil to he ap
proved of God. Oh I that God may give us all
the same spirit of truth.and love.
THE VISION OF AYR’S MOSS.
In a dream of the night I was wafted away
To the moorlands of mist, where the brave martyrs
' ' fey,:
Where Cameron’s Sword and his Bible ate seen.
Engraved on the stone where the heather grows
green.
’Twas a dream of those ages of darkness and blood,
When the minister’s home was the mountain wood,
When, in Well-Food’s dark moorlands, the standard
All bloody and tom, ’mong the heather was lying.

MBS. HANFORD’S BEEAKFAST TABLE.
by M. b.,-m.
.Mrs. Hanford’s family were at breakfast.
The breakfast-room was a pleasant one, facing
the South; and the bright winter sunshine
streamed through the ’blinds, and ; threw, a warm
glow over the group at the table. Mrs. Han
ford presided at the urn, —a middle-aged lady,
"comfortable and motherly, wearing the brightest
of morning wrappers, and the gayest of caps.
Her husband sat opposite,—-a portly, dignified
gentleman, with a deep, hearty voice, and 4 ring
ing laugh. Clara, the eldest daughter and the
of the 1 household, sat on her father’s
rightj.and her brother Will, her next image and
constant companion, occupied a seat next to his
mother. The table was filled by the other mem
bers of the family,—Grace, Bettie, Margaret,
Charlie, and Fred. The latter, a round-faced;
dimpled child of four years. Cheerfulness and
happiness reigned over the circle. Father, mo
ther, and children looked as if life were to them
a good and pleasant thing,: an. 4 as if peace,,with
her golden chain bound,the family together. *
The conversation had turned upon the Sewing
Society, which was tq,be held that afternoon at
.the pastor’s house, and to which the mother and
cider daughters were going. v j
“So f znusttake tea alone!” said Mj. Hah-.
,ford, with an air of mock gravity.
'“•Maggie will pour tea for you” said Mrs.
Hanford. “ Fou don’t know what a little house-;
keeper she is: And you are to come in the eve
aing of course with Will, for the gentlemen are
quite indispensable to make the time pass plea
santly after our work's laid aside.”;
“If lr Were "called Oti for my opinion,” said Mr.
Hanford, “ I should feel compelled to say that I
do not entirely approve of Sewing Societies. -As
I understand it, the object is to sew for the poor.
Now, why not give the money to the poor at
ones, or, better still, take the work to their homes,
give it them, and pay them for, doing it?”
/ “That would be a very good dray,” said Mrs.-
Hanford, “if our only object were the sewing
and the aiding of the unfortunate. But, my
dear, we go that we may have a happy time to
gether, that the extremes of the congregation
may he united,, that a, social Spirit may bp, culti
vated, and for a good many other reasons."
“In short, because we like it,” said Clara
smiling. . - . > '• '
“ Women always break -down in argument,”
said Mr,S Hanford;, “ because is'an, all sufficient
reason for a lady. But you will not deny that a
great deal oftthe sn/all talk this afternoon will
be gossip, and that there will be a little conver
sation about the absent, spiced with just a little
slandef,;—’that\Miss A. will wonder how much
Miss B’s>.neF;d*ess cost, and Mrs. F. will be sur
prised that Mrs, G. allows her girls to flirt so
shamefully
“TherC; father,”-said Clara, ‘tple'ase hush. Yon
make us appear worse than we are. I think our
congregation is a model of harmony and good
feeling; and if you would lay aside your preju
dice,'you would find that there is very little en
vy or detraction, comparatively,*in our church.”
“ You look through rose-colored spectacles,
my child; l am afraid our church is no better
’ than other * Churches," replied Mr. Hanford.
“And- as for your own sex, you know.the reputa
tion you all bear for : gossip. . Oh ! woman’s
tongue 1” - •' -
“And woman’s vanity!” said Will with 1 an
areh glance at his sisters. “I was reading in
the library yesterday, and bebihd my book I
heard the, girls discussing; their dresses; for to
day, as though their lives depended upon the ap
pearance which they were to make.-- Clara'will
wear ,blue, because she is fair; /and Bettie, who
is middling, will dress in grey; and Grace, brown
as a berry, must array herself in scarlet to set off
her black eyes:”
“Well, you must not tease your sisters,”.said
his mother. “I must protest against the Views
.which you and your father both entertain about
woman.. If you refer to woman’s tongue, I can
point triumphantly to the war and ‘ask; who have
made the most mischief by spreading false re
ports and uttering malicious insinuations, who
but intelligent correspondents and reliable gen
tlemen ? And asfor the vanity, my dear boy—l
make no personal allusion—but I . have . seen
young gentlemen very anxious about raising a
moustache, or coloring ameeißihaum.”
As if to disprove her mother’s defene® Bettie
at this moment cast a glance out of the window,
and observed a lady • coming up the street. '
“Do look at Mrs. Jones !” she said. “ What
a peculiar-walk she has!" . '
“ Ye!;y,”,said Clara, “ but she is a dear good
woman, and does a great many kind actions, so
we won't criticise her looks,. Bettie.”, ~
Not even though she walks like a crab;” Te
torfed/Bettie,/who had a younger sister’s; dislike,
of being;reproved by an older. “ I wonder; now,
if. she’s going to wear her brown silk to the so
ciety this afternoon. That silk must have been
an heir-loom.' Dyed and flounced, turned up
side down and inside out, in one form or another,
ihe has wosrXtjfiat identical garment as long as I
can ;
‘{BettiaFßettie! what is gossip if that is not ?”
l “ daughter,” said hef mother, ‘|l dohT
approve o : f gon people’s dresaps; but I
met Mrs/tToßeslon (the street yesteiday-, dndsshe
looked well- iqdeed. She had on a dark
dress, trimmed With velvet, and it was really
nicer than my own." j :
“It Was jthebrown silk trimmed witlteplas
trons,” sm3'|Giabe, liftteg her laughing brown
eyes. “They are elegant for hiding spotl and
stains. I say Mrs.' Jones .made them out of
her old velvet mantilla.” / > '
“ Wife-;”-., said Mr. Hanford, “ the girls are
proving the truth of my assertion. J advise you
to keep Grace-and Bettie well under your .wing
to-day; or, better still, leave them at home, with
me. Why are you so .sarcastic in regard to Mrs.
Jon es, Bettie f I have noticed' it before."
“ Because, father, she is either poor or penu
rious; aud we can’t tell which.”,: -
; “ Whether she is the former, I do not know,”
said Mr. Haniord, “but I can exonerate her
from the charge of being the latter. She.always
pays her pew-rent punctually, which some of our
more fashionable members do not. She contri
butes liberally to every charitable cause; and she
subscribes for out dehominktiolal'pSper; and al
ways renews the subscription before the close of
the year. Mrs.. Jones is an example to the con
gregation in hoDeSty and'justice.’’ ’ *
I In the afternoon a merry party were gathered
.in the pleasant parlors of the 5 parsonage. Mrs.
iJonec wasrthere, eonspicuoua in jsiik,
4nd her, peculiar .side-long gait? Bur though
foolish’girts, - like' Gra'ce and Bettie, indulged
themselves in sly laughs atr her expense, the el
der ladies appreciated the competent, helpful,
quiet woman who knew how to make the /most
of a little", 'whose “ scissors kneW-their way, ’’ over
calico?.And cloth; and. whose- hands were
anxious- to work wherever they were wanted..
The company were all assembled, —the work ap
portioned, to-each, and the of con
versation going on, while silvery peals of laugh
ter rung, out here and there from sofa and foot
stool. It was a pretty sight: the fair heads bent
over,-the .white, work, and the delicate hands
moving "softly up and down the coarse seams.
So thought the pastdr, Mr. Emerson, as te
dropped in upon the ladies-a -little while before
tea., , Matron and maid had a greeting for the
minister. But when the first Vords of welcome
were over, Mr. Emerson said: .
.l Bring: you the ’rCpott fifth ease
of severe suffering in Hike's -Hollow, Only
two miles from us, a -family of three persons are
stricken down with small pox, and ‘Dr! Olein
men ts tells me that no’ one can he obtained to
nurse them'for’love' or ;mbney, J , Themeighbors
have fled, ( and the poor creatures, must die of ne
glect; What can we do ?” - •
Many a heart stood still, many a bright face
blanched as-Mr. Etherson- went on. Small pox
at Pike’s Hollow—that fearful, horrible disease
it might reach the village. And while the room
was still hushed, and ooe and another were wish
ing that the neighbors hid been more kindly,
and that the Hollow were farther away, and that
a hospital were at hand, &c., Mrs. Jones stepped
forward, and„said in her soft, quiet .voice :
“ Mr. - Emerson, will, you please .say to> Dr.
; Olemments that I will g 0 to the Hollow and
nurse the sick ones. I oan be better spared than
any one here. I have no fear of the infection,
and I think friends will allow m: the credit of
being a skilful nurse.”
•i~o;rrr o
Bemonstrances were unavailing, and the good
Christian woman-—brave in the Master’s name—
went willingly forth to face death and disease,
that so she. might perhaps give a cup of cold
water to one of his little ones.
It was - a lesson* to Grace and Bettie Hanford
through the. years that came after. Ever after,
they looked,with loving reverence on the self-'
denying Mrs. Jones. They remembered that
%br awkward feet should one day walk the hea
venly streets in the beauty of holiness, and that
the faded robe of earth should one day be ex
changed for the sheen of white robes in the bet
ter land.
Oh 1 brothers and; sisters, take heed how you
laugh at those wh° may he quiet and retiring,
and odd in the world’s ways; but who, in the
kingdom of heaven, may hear from the Master
of the feast, the Welcome invitation, “ Come up
.higher,” while you, with shame, jit down in the
lowest room. ‘ '.. M. E., M- -
Sabbath-breaking fills many graves.

AGRICULTURAL REPORTFOR 1862.
Salomon has said that “ the profit of, the
earth is for ail; tbefOng himself is served by
the field.” Although this truth was uttered
nearly three thousand years ago, and its
accuracy has never been disputed, and although
there is no country#in the world to which it
applies with more force, if as much as our own,
yet it took our legislative Solomons a long
time to makeup their minds to give it practical
effect True, since 184?; we have had a nook
in the Patent office somewhere, appropriated to
agriculture, from Which has been issued annually
a hash of agricultural matter, containing much
information that was valuable, and much of little
account, the whole presented often in , a jumb
ling way; showing most conclusively tliat the
person in charge of this department had been
put into the office Ifrom other considerations
than either his fondness for agriculture,,or his
superior knowledge of its details. But at last
the claims of agricultu re have been recognized
and a separate department organized, having
its great and varied interests specially in charge,.
and. a practicul agriculturist placed at its head.,
We have had from him through the summer,;
monthly statements of the conditions of the crops,
containing much valuable information to the far
mer, and tibe dealer in producAsynopses of which
we have given our readers. The accuracy of these
reports and their completeness, make them very
reliable, and they can be made perfectly so by
a hearty co-operation on the-partuf our, agri
cultural societies, 4 dud intelligent fairmefe with
the department.; 5 Let there be societies formed
in every county %hete such do not already
exist, and let there be other societies auxiliary
to these formedin every/township, whose care
will be to collect reliable information upon the
condition of the crops, &c., and let this be
forwarded to the county society, and, let it
forward the information , thus obtained in, a
digested form to the commissioner of:
ture. in; Washington. The commissioner will
thus be put in possession of the most reliable
information possible, and thus the whole country
will be informed monthly of the condition of,
the great agricultural interests which underlie
and are the basis of our prosperity. J?he infor
mation thus disseminate will;Cnabie®elagnrid|
turists of the country to form correct, .opinions
as to the . prospective prices of produce, and
also prevent combinations among dtealere or
other interested parties, to advance'pliitfes nns
necessarily at the expense of the consumers.
The experimental garden belonging to the
Department although recent in its establish
ment, under the able and skilful management,
of Mr. Saunders, is beginning to assume such
au appearance as to. impress the horticulturist;
with its, great utility. But more than an
experimental garden is needed by ,the Depart
ment. It should have an experimental farm,
in which all additions to our agricultural
products brought from other countries would
be tested—the peculiarities of new seeds inves
tigated, and the kind of culture which they
require verified; and the climate,and soil to
which they are adapted proved, before being
distributed to the farmers of the .country. The
commissioner asks for $130,000 for the Depart
ment for the current year. Let itj be granted
willingly, and as much more added as will 'enable
him to establish an experimental farm. Let
Congress give the proper legislative sanction to
the scheme. When we see the liberality
practised by other countries tojlheir agrieultu
•ests, and when these interests are
our own country, the appropriation asked and
neededis very small; France, appropriates two
millions of dollars a. year towards the dfevelope
ment of her agricultural interests,; and it .pays.
Yet what are the agricultural resources of .Prance
compared to those of the/United States?; rLet,
therefore, Mr. Commissioner Newton and the de
partment over which he presides be sustained
liberally, and in a manner corresponding to its
importance. Give him the means and, authority
to place it in such a position of usefulness as
the country requires. We would Call 'the
attention of our representatives and senators,
especially those, from rural’ districts to the
subject, and urgent upon their attention.
The report before, us seems toJhaye been pre
pared with great caro, and in point of ability is
far in advance of its predecessors. We give be
low aßst of the principal subjects discussed- We
would like to refer to some of the. essays more
at length, but want of space forbids:.

TO STOP COUGHING.
-Slight irritation of the throat may be relieved
by sipping a little slippery-elm tea, or by suck
ing a piece of gum-arabic. These articles coat:
over the mucous niembrane, and prevent the 5
irritation of the air. A very few drops of pa
regoric held in the mouth and allowed to trickle
down the throat, will allay - coughing. The
best copgh medicine for children, one which we
have used for several years wirh entire satisfac
tion, is the following Mix in vial equal parts
of .paregoric, castor-oil, and syrup of ipecac.
Always shake’Amir just before using. A few
drops swallowed, but not wraehed-down by wa
ter or other Siiid,''will jlways soothe a.copgh.
Bepeat tlie dose as the coughihg re
turns; From one-fourth to one-half a teaspoon*
ful, or even a wholb:jeaspoonful may be given
when a lesser quantity does not suffice. A
large dose after a fulf ineal may produce: a little
nausea. ... Children subject to cofigbs should eat
very light suppers 5 , and indeed - all children
shpuld eat much less and simpler food at night
than ot juorning or noon. The aboy§, mixture
may be kept on hand readily prepared, as it
does not deteriorate if kept corked. It may in
terest those afraid of mineral medicines (though
they partake freely of common salt, which is
mineral) to know that the above ingredients
are all “ vegetable.” ;
. Bunches of .grapes may be preserved all
: through the winter by simply inserting the-end
of-tho stem,:fn,.a - potato of the; size ,of;%hen’s egg.

For* a Sore Theoat. —The best remedy we
havei found for Asore . throat * is, on retiring to
r6st, to : rub‘ on the outside a little ‘'Volatile
liniment, and swallbw a few drops of paregoric,
letting it dissolve saliva, -and spread
along down the inflamed parts. The liniment
is’ simply a mixture df-BWeet oil and aqua am
monia (called liquid ;|iartsh6rn.) i These are
put in a vial and shaken, using' such propor
tions as to form a semiiliquid soap. An ounce
or two can be gotf chejtply 'at the druggist’s;
•and, if tightly ebrkedi will keep* for months.

itinecessary, for a long time to come, to seek a mar

i Prudence and seff-interest must force the minds
those contemplating the.fdrmation of National Bank-!

their reach, and ai vanca to .a; handsome premium, as ,
was the result witl the “Seven Thirty” Loan, when

that'the Surplii Coin ,in the Treasury, 1 at no dis
