BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1867. She ffeilffltil dinette. THE SAILOR BOY OF HAVRE. A French brig was returning from Toulon to Havre with a rich cargo and numerous passengers. Off the coast of Bretagne, it was overtaken by a sud den and violent storm. Captain P , an experienced sail or, at once saw the danger which threatened the ship on such a rocky coast, and gave orders to put out to sea; but the winds and waves drove the brig violently toward shore, and not withstanding all the efforts of the crew, it continued to get nearer the land. Among the most active on board in doing all that he could to help, was lit tle Jacques, a lad twelve years old, who was serving as cabin-hoy in the vessel. At times when he disappeared for a moment behind the folds of the sails, the sailors thought that he had fallen overboard; and again, Then a wave threw him on the deck, they looked around to see if it had not carried away the poor boy with it, but Jacques was soon up again unhurt. "My mother," said he smiling, to an old sailor, "would be frightened enough if she saw me just now." His mother, who lived in Havre, was very poor and had a large family. Jacques loved her tenderly, and he was enjoying the prospect of carrying to her his little treasure —two franc-pieces, which he had earned as wages for the voyage. The brig was beaten about a whole day by the storm, and in spite of all the efforts of the crew they could not steer clear of the rocks on the coast. By the gloom on the captain's brow, it might be seen that he had little hope of saving the ship. All at once a vio lent shock was felt, accompanied by a horrible crash ; the vessel had struck on a rock. At this terrible moment the passengers threw themselves on their knees to pray. "Lower the boats!" cried thecaptain. The sailors obeyed; but they soon were carried away by the violence of the waves. "We have but one hope of safety," said the captain. "One of us must he brave enough to run the risk of swim ming with a rope to shore. We may fasten one end to the mast of the ves sel and the other to a rock on the coast, and by that means we may all get on shore." "But, captain, it is impossible!" said the mate, pointing to the surf breaking on the sharp rocks. "Whoever should attempt to run such a riak would cer tainly be IIIHIICU tiu j/LNRRAS '* "Well," said the captain, in a low tone, "we must all die together." At this moment there was a slight stir among the sailors who were silent ly waiting for orders. "What is the matter there?" asked the captain. "Captain," replied a sailor, "this lit tle monkey of a cabin-boy is asking to swim to shore with a strong string round his body to draw the cabie after him; he is as obstinate as a little mule!" and lie pushed Jacques into the midst of the circle. The boy stood turning his cap round and round in his hand without daring to utter a word. "Nonsense! such a child can't go," said the captain roughly. But Jacques was not a character to be so easily discouraged. "Captain," said he timidly, "you don't wish to expose the lives of good sailors like those; it does not matter what becomes of a "little monkey of a cabin-boy, as the boat-swain calls me. Give me a hall of strong string, which will unroll as I get on, fasten one en<l round my body, and I promise you that within an hour the rope will he well fastened to the shore, or I will perish iu the attempt." "Does he know how to swim ?" ask ed the captain. "As swiftly and as easy as an eel," replied one of the crew. "I could swim up the Seine from Havre to Paris," said little Jacques. The captain hesitated; but the lives of all on board were at stake, and he yielded. Jacques hastened to prepare for his terrible undertaking. Then he turned and softly approached the cap tain. "Captain," said he, "as I may he lost may I ask you to take charge of some thing for me?" "Certainly, my boy," said thecaptain, who was almost repenting of having yielded to his entreaties. "Here, then, captain," replied Jac ques, holuing out two five-franc pieces wrapped in a bit of rag; if I am eaten by the porpoises, and you get safe to land, be so kind as to give this to my mother, who lives on the quay at Ha vre, and will you tell her that I thought of.her, and that I love her very much, as well as all my brothers and sisters?" "Be easy about that my boy. If you die for us, and we escape, your mother shall never want for anything. "Oh! then I will willingly try tosave you !" cried Jacques, hasteuing to the other side of the vessel, where all was prepared for his enterprise. The captain thought for a moment. "We ought not to allow this boy to sac rifice himself for us in this way," said he at length; I have been wrong. I must forbid it." "Yes, yes," said some of the sailors round him, "it is disgraceful to us all that the little cabin-boy should set us an example of courage; and it would be a sad thing if the child should die for old men like us, who have lived our time. Let us stop him." They rushed to the side of the vessel, but it was too late. They found there only the sailor who had aided Jacques in his preparations, and who was un rolling the cord that was fasten d to the body of the heroic hoy. They all leaned over the side of the vessel to see what was going to happen, and a few quietly wiped away a tear which would not be restrained. At first nothing was seen but waves of white foam, mountains of water which seemed to rise as high as the mast, and then fell down with a thun dering roar. Soon the practiced eye of some of the sailors perceived a little black point rising above the waves, and then again distance prevented them from distinguishing it at all. They anxiously watched the cord and tried to guess, by its quicker or slower movements, the fate of him who was unrolling it. Sometimes the cord was unrolling rapidly. "Oh what a brave fellow!" they said, "see how quickly heswims!" At other times, the unrolling of the ball string stopped suddenly; "poor boy," they said, "he has been drowned or dashed against the rocks!" This anxiety lasted more than an hour; the hall of string continued to be unrolled, but in unequal periods. At length it slipped slowly over the side of the vessel, and often fell as if slack ened. They thought Jacques must have much difficulty in getting through the surf on the coast. "Perhaps it is the body of the poor boy that the sea is tossing backwards and forwards in this way," said some of the sailors. The captain was deeply grieved that he had permitted the child to make the attempt; and notwithstanding the desperate situation in which they were, all the crew seemed to be thinking more of the boy than themselves. All at once a violent pull was given to the cord. This was soon followed by a second, then a third. It was the signal agreed upon to tell them that Jacques had reached the shore. A shout of joy was heard on the ship. They hastened to fasten a strong rope to the cord, which was drawn on shore as fast as they could let it out, and was firmly fastened by some of the people who had come to the help of the little cabin boy. By means of this rope many of the shipwrecked sailors reached the shore, and found means to ease the others. Not long after all had safely landed they saw the vessel sink. The little cabin-boy was long ill from the consequences of his fatigue, and from the bruises he had received by being dashed against the rocks. But he did not mind that; for, in reward of his bravery, his mother received a year ly sum of money which placed her above the fear of want. Little Jacques rejoiced in having suffered for her, aud at the same time in having saved so many lives. He telt that he had been abundantly rewarded. THE EARLY HOKE OF JESUS. Four miles south of the strong Greek city of Sephoris, hidden away among gentle hills, then covered from the base to the crown with vineyards and fig trees, lay a natural nest or basin of rich red and white earth, starlike in shape, but a mile in width and won drously fertile. Along the sacred and chalky slope of the highest of these hills spread a small and lovely village, which, in a land where every spot seem ed to have a story, is remarkable as having had no public history, and no distinguished native name. No great road led up to this sunny nook. No traffic came into it; no legions marched through it. Trade, war, adventure, pleasure, pomp, passed through it, flow ing from west to east, from east to west, along the Roman road. But the meadows were aglow with wheat and barley. Near the low ground ran a belt of gardens, fenced with stones, in which myriads of green figs, red pome granates and golden citrons ripened in the summer sun. High up the slopes, which were lined and planted like the Rhine at Bingen, hung vintagesofpur ple grapes. In the plain, among the corn and beneath the mulberry trees and figs shone daisies, poppies, tulips, lilies and anemones, endless in their profusion, brilliant in their dyes. Low down on the hillside sprang a well of water, bubbling, plentiful and sweet, and above this fountain of life, in a long street straggling from the fountain to the synagogue, rose the homesteads of many shepherds, crafts men and vine dressers. It was a lovely and humble place, of which no ruler, no historian of Israel had ever yet tak en notice. No Rachael had been met and kissed into love at this well; no Ruth had gathered up the sheaves of barley in yon fields; no tower had been built for observation on this height; no camp had been pitched for battle in that vale. That one who would be come dearer to the fancies of men than either Ruth or Rachael, then walked through these fields, drew water at this spring," passed up and down the lanes of this hamlet, no seer then could have surmised. The place was more than obscure. The Arab may have pitched his black tent by the we"l, the magistrate of Sephoris must have known the village, hut the hamlet was never mentioned by the Jewish scribes. In the Bible, in the Talmud, in the writings of Jo sephus, we search in vain for any record of this sacred place. Like its happy neighbors, Nain and Endor, it was VOL 61.—WHOLE No. 5,395. the abode of husbandmen and oil dres sers, whose lives were spent in the syn agogue and the olive grove, away from the bright Greek cities and the busy Roman roads. No doubt it had once been possessed of either an Arab or Hebrew name, but we do not know the name except in its Hellenic from. The Greeks called the town Nazaret or Nazareth.— JT/ie Holy Land, by W. Heprcorth Dixon. GROWING TURNTPS WITH CORN— Mr. Barnes, of Westmoreland, OneidaC'oun ty New York, has a novel method of growing turnips with corn, which we do not remember to have seen describ ed before. He plants his corn three feet four inches apart, each way, which makes four thousand hills to the acre, and manures in the hill with well-rotted manures. He uses about ten loads of manure to the acre, and while loading up the manure in the yard, turnip seed is scattered over the load two or three times, or, in other words, when a third of a load is put upon the wagon, a few seeds are sprinkled ever it, and so on for every third of a load. The manure then is carted to the field and placed in the rows where it is to be used, and then corn planted. He states by this method about every hill will have its turnip, which grows well with the corn and yields at the rate of one hundred and fifty bushels to the acre of roots, without any detriment to the corn crop. The turnip plants become firmly established by the time the corn is fit to cut, and after that make most of their growth, advancing with great rapidity. He says the turnips do not interfere in the growing of pumpkins among the corn if desired. WHAT EVERY YOUNG MAN SHOULD Do.—l. Every young man should make the most of himself, in tellectually, morally, socially and phy sically. 2. He should depend npon his own efforts to accomplish these results. 3. He should be willing to take ad vice from those competent to give it, and to follow such advice, unless his own judgment or convictions proper ly founded, should otherwise direct. 4. If he is unfortunate enough to have a rich and indulgent father, he must do the best he can under the circumstances, which will be to con duct himself very much as though he had not these obstacles to overcome. 5. He should remember that young men, if they live, grow old; and that the habits of youth are oftener than otherwise, perpetuated in the nature of a man. Knowing this fact, heshould "govern himself accordingly." 6. He should never be discouraged by small beginnings, but remember that nearly all great results have been wrought out from apparently slight causes. 7. He should never, under any cir cumstances, be idle. If he cannot find the employment he prefers, let him corneas near his desires as possible— he will thus soonest reach the object of his ambition. 8. All young men have "inalienable rights," among which none is greater or more sacred than the privilege to be "somebody." ADV ANTAGES OF MOISTENED FOOD OVER THAT WHICH is DRY.—Besides the benefit secured by causing the ground grain to adhere to cut hay or straw when wet, it has been ascertain ed by Boussingault, in some well con ducted experiments, that soaked fodder forms a ihore suitable food than tha% which is dry. He found that heifers fed soaked hay gained in weight over those fed during the same time with dry hay. By reversing the order of feeding, the results were the same. The experiments referred to abpear to have been simply to test tne advantages of moistened food over that which is dry. Notwithstanding the moistening of hay will render it more readily diges tible, yet the advantages gained w.ould hardly warrant the labor. But in rum inating animals a great advantage re sults from feeding the grain in combin ation with the hay or straw, and this can only be done by grinding the for mer and cutting and wetting the lat ter. But to do this economically all the necessary appliances must be at hand for grinding, cutting,wetting, &c. With these, arranged as they may be, a large numberof cattle may be fed with no great increase of labor. This sys tem of feeding in stalls affords the ad vantage of saving and making a grea ter quantity of manure than by any other, which ought to be, if it is not, a matter of tl*e first importance to every farmer. v ONE evening a parent was hearing his little son recite his Sunday school lesson, it was in the 13th chapter of Matthew, wherein it relates of the ma licious individual who wentabout sow ing tares, &c. "What is a tare?" the parent interrup ted to inquire. Johnny hesitated. "Tell me, my son, what a tare is." "You have had'em," said Johnny, casting down his eye and wriggling his foot. "Had 'em !" said the astonished pa rent, opening his eyes rather wide, "why what do you mean, Johnny !" "When you did'nt come home for three days last week," said Johnny, "I heard mother tell aunt Susan you was off on a tare." The Sunday school lesson was brought to an abrupt close, and Johnny, who knew too much al together to sit up any later, was sent to bed. RADICAL TESTI-ROWY AGAINST RADI CAL t'OBBCPTIOM.

"With a depth and infamy of legisla tive corruption never before known, we are falling into a practice of wholesale and shameless briberyat elections, and that, too, in New England—in the 'land of steady habits' itself."— Boston Tran- script. "Thecorruptionistsat Washington and Albany are debauchers of the young; they are traitors, * * vermin, who arecrawling under the foundations and destroying by corruption the vital powers of the Government."— Henry Ward Beecher. "The Legislature of 1867 is no more. It has fought its last fight—it has won its last stake. * They have passed sixteen hundred laws, 'pinched' others by the score, and finally, after three months of rioting, rotating, pinching, plundering and pocketing, their time has come, and they go out, as a rule, to return no more forever.— Chambersburg {Pa.) Repository. "Bad as has been the character of our Legislature for years, it seems to be generally conceded that the body just adjourned was even more untrustwor thy than any of its predecessors. * All the Christian people in the State should join in thanks to the Throne of Gr<tce that it did no more harm than it did. Another such a Legislature would sink us.— Somerset {Pa.) Herald "Our legislators are rascals. No de cent man would like to win an 'Hon' for his name in such company.—Chica go Post. The New York Legislature, alluded to, stood: Senate—Radicals 27; Demo crats 5; House—Radicals 82; Democrats 46; Radical majority on joint ballot, 58! The Pennsylvania Legislature, al luded to, stood: Senate—Radicals 21; Democrats 12; House—Radicals 62; Democrats 38; Radical majority on joint ba110t, 33! The Illinois Legislature, alluded to stood : Senate—Radicals 16; Democrats 9; House—Radicals 62; Dem ocrats 23; Radical majority on joint bal lot, 46! The Massachusetts Legislature al luded to stood: Senate—Radicals 40; Democrats 0 ; House—Radicals 226; Democrats 11; Radical majority on joint ballot, 258! The Rump Congress, alluded to, stood : Senate—Radicals 43; Democrats and Conservatives 9; House—Radicals 127; Democrats and Conservatives 36; Radical majority on joint ballot , 125! By those large controlling majorities the legislation of the States and nation was performed. If it is corrupt and in famous—and we have abundant Radi cal testimony, other than the foregoing, thitt it is—the people cannot fail to place the responsibility where it justly be longs. Having done so, it is for them to apply the corrective which it is their privilege to use, by electing, hereafter, none but honest and pure men, and so balancing party power as to make one a check upon the other. It is useless to look for purity or correct legislation when and where one political party holds so large a preponderance of power as is indicated above in the Congress and Legislatures of 1867. Equalize the political power, and each party will find it necessary to act honestly and purely in order to gain favor with the people. If the people are wise, they wi'l at once curtail the corruptly wielded power of the Radical leaders. GIVE THE FRIXTERS FAIR PI AY.— We have a piece of advice which we wish to impress firmly and indelibly upon the public mind, and that is to give the printers fair play. Do not forget that it costs something to pufT as well as to advertise, and never sponge on a printer in any way whatever. It is printer's ink that makes nine-tenths of your fortunes; it takes money to buy ink, type and paper, and yet, after all ♦this, few are the thanks the printer gets. Give printers fair play, and give up all expectations ofgratuitous puffing, &c. Daniel Webster was 'mighty near right' when he remarked of the press: 'Small is the sum required to patronize a newspaper, amply rewarded is its patron. I care not how humble and unpretending the gazette which he takes, it is next to impossible to fill it without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price.' PPEPAUAIION F WHITEWASH.— Wiiitewash is one of the most valuable articles in the world when properly ap plied. It prevents not only the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to the healthiness of all buildings, whether of wood or stone. Out-buildings and fences, when not painted, should be supplied once or twice every year with a good coat of whitewash, which should be prepared in the following way: Take a clean, water-tight barrel,or oth er suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in suffi cient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir ikbriskly until thorough ly slacked. When the slacking has been effected, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent it cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may becommu nicated to the above wash, by adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or a good pearl or lead color, by the addition of lamp, vine, or ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds of umber, Turk ish or American, the latter is thecheap est, one pound India red, and one pound common lampblack.—For common stone color add four pounds raw um ber and two pounds lampblack. This wash may be applied with a common whitewash brush, and will be found much superior, both in appearance and durability, to common whitewash. —The business of Pittsburg is said to represent about $114,000,000,
