'•They ai © taxed on their clothing tneir lueat and their bread, On their caepets, their dishes, their tables and bed, On their tea and their coffee, their fuel and lights; They are taxed so severely they can't sleep o' nights. ; They are taxed on their offices, stores and their shops, On their stoies, their wash tubs, their brooms and their mops, On their shrouds and their tombstones, and after they die, They are tax ed on the coffins in which they must lie. They are stamped on their mortgages, notes, checks and bills, On their deeds, on their contracts, and on their List wills; And the 'Star Spa.igtcd Banner' in mourning doth wave, O'er the wealth of the nation stamped into the grave. They are taxed on all goods by kind Providence given, They arc taxed on the ISible thi.it points thein to Heaven ; And when they ascend to their heavenly goal, They would, if they could, stick sW mps on their soul "31EET MtTKt' HE." The Selma Messenger tells the follow ing capital story as genuine and au thentic : Among the most enterprising and industrious merchants of Seima is one whom we will call Smith, principally ( because it isn t his name, who is bless j ed with a most exemplary wife in all respects save one—she is of rather a jealous disposition. Mr. Smith lias been of late very much engrossed in Ids business, and has often consumed his evenings over Ids ledger instead of in the bosom of his family, as has been his custom for years. In reply to the queries of Mrs. Smith on the ! subject, he would always say that he was employed in his business. She did not understand how business could take up so much of his time, and her suspicions were aroused that all was not right. Visions of hours spent by | her husband in other female society than her own haunted her mind, and • she made an inward vow to watch him and see for herself. Soon after arriving at this resolu tion a telegram arrived for her hus band and was sent to his office, which was closed, as he had gone to his sup -1 per. The carrier went to his house j and delivered it to the servant at the door. The gentleman not having ar : rived, it was handed to his wife, who ' with true feminine curiosity, read it. i It was plain and short: MONTGOMERY-, Dec.— , 1867. MR. SMITH :—Meet Gertrude to night. Here was a horrible confirmation of her worst fears. Controlling herself as best she could, she laid the dispatch by his plate. He came in, read it, and said "he would have to go down after j supper, and might not be back till i late." He hurried through his meal, ' took his hat, and walked hurriedly down tiie street. Before he had turn led the corner his wife was following him, swiftly and noiselessly. He went straight on. she close behind, until he readied the wharf. After an apparent inspection of the surroundings, he stepped down the hill and took a seat in the office of the "Magnolia." llis wife took a position where she could see him through the glass door, and waited for the finale— which was expected in the shape of ■ the Gertrude whom her faithless spouse was to meet. Time dragged 1 on wearily, and the lady became drow sy and at last fell into a doze, from which she was aroused by the shrill whistle of an approaching steamer.— Nearer and nearer she came, and as she rounded to, the name Gertrude, : in large, brightly painted letters, met the view of the jealous wife, aud a Stentorian voice, inquiring if Smith ' was on hand, completed her awaken ing. At a glance the position was realiz- BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1868. Ed, and the poor woman could have cried for vexation as she SAW her hus band and another gentleman hurried ly ffhnsacting some business within a few feet of her. At that moment a tipsy negro came stum! ling along, and seeing a woman s drPbS half hid den among the bales and boxes of merchandize, seized her, exclaiming! "Come out oh ok gal!" Her scream of terror brought her husband to the scene, whose astonishment may he imagined. She fell into his arms, with a hysterical burst ot sobs, and ex planations ensued. The party returned to their home in a hack, and somebody's head was on somebody's bosom all the way.— Since that time, all that Smith has to do to avert a scolding, is to insinuate that he will "meet Gertrude." \% IXCIDEVrOF THE i'KESS RE A ISGS. An incident worth mentioning oc curred in Carrol nail, the second night j of the Dickens readings. Ben. Butler entered after the performance had com-' menced, and walked down the centre I aisle while Dickens was describing one j of the most interesting scenes in his selections from David Copperfield.— j Perhaps Benjamin was unavoidably j detained, or perhaps he wished to make his appearance at the time when he could attract that amount of atten- j tion which bethinks is due to his erai- j nent abilities and great public services. | There are those who adopt this as one of the ways of keeping before the peo- j p!e, some of them men of marked zeal in religious atfairs, who never enter the church till the congregation is well seated, and then walk straight to the front pew. If General Butler hadn't his mind's eye on this idea on the occa sion referred to, his motives were mis understood, that's all. Well, the hero of Bermuda walked down the aisle the observed of all obser vers, and took his seat in a \ cry select - and advantageous part of the hall. The first selection was soon concluded, and Mr. Dickens retired as he was wont to for ten minutes of rest and refreshment. The rustle and bus le consequent upon a relaxation of attention followed.— There were whisperings among the older folks, and flirtings among the younger, in the midst of which uprose Butler from his seat, either to observe or be observed, hard to tell which though I incline to the latter belief. There was no mistaking that bald head, or that strabismic eye. It was Benja min F. Butler, and nobody else. The intermission, like alt things on this earth, had its end. Dickens appear ed- :?nd the readings were resumed.- Tliis titbit was a selection from Pick wick—the famous Bob Sawyer party scene. It was vcrj' funnv > as xve all know, and the was, at times, immoderate. There was a how ever, af which the laugh beca.* ue ver - v much like a vulgar roar, and v. '* lll 1 the funniest part of the readings by an. v means. Mr. Dickens felt a little con-1 fused, I thought, for a man of his nice j perceptions knows exactly where the' fun comes in, and we all know there is j such a thing possible as a laugh at the expense of an actor, which is always more vivid'tlmn that provoked by the play. Dickens evidently thought lie had blundered. But he hadn't. Ile | had simply read the following colloquy I between Hopkins and Noddy—and the | audiencchadjustseen Butler, and every ! one knew he was present: "I request that you'll favor me with your card sir." "I'll do nothing of the kind, sir." "Why not, sir?" "Because you'll stick it up over your i chimney-piece, and delude your visi tors into the false belief that a gentle man has been to see you, sir." "Sir, a friend of mine-shall wait on you in the morning." "Sir, I am very much obliged to you | for the caution ; and I'll leave particu- j lar directions with the servants to look \ up the spoons." The laugh, Mr. Dickens, which so ex ceeded all bounds as to preplex you, was due solely to a .connection in the popular mind between General Butler and-spoons!—' "Mack," Wash. (hr. Cin. Commercial. IF YOU would have A loving wife be as gentle in your words after as be fore marriage; treat her quite as ten derly when a matron as when a miss; don't make her the maid of all work and ask her why she looks less tidy and neat than when "you first knew her;" don't buy cheap, tough beef, and scold because it docs not come on the table "porter house;" don't grumble about squalling babies if you cannot keep up a "nursery," and remember that "baby may take after its papa" in disposition ; don't smoke and chew to bacco, and thus shatter your nerves, and spoil your temper, and make your breath a nuisance, and then complain that your wife declines to kiss you ; go home joyous and cheerful to your wife and tell her the good news you have heard, and not silently put on your hat and go to the "club" or "lodge," and let her afterwards learn that you have spent the evening at the opera or at a fancy ball with Mrs. Dash. Loveyour wife; be patient; remember you are not perfect, but try to be; let whisky, tobacco, and vulgar company alone; spend your evenings with your wife, and live a decent, christian life, and your wife will be loving and true—if you did not marry a heartless beauty without sense or worth ; if you did, who is to blame if you suffer the conse quences? THE "Klixancii RAILROAD." The Omaha Herttkl enlarges upon the superior attraction of this new rail road route, which, it says, has just , been completed, and will be open to passenger traHic as soon as a proper agent can be found to sell the \iekets. It announces: Through tickets daily for eternity, and all stations beyond the grave, connecting closely with the ferries at the river Styx, forall points on the oth er side of Jordan. Passengers should take no other route. The cheapest and shortest way to the tomb. It is with a great deal of pleasure that the officers of this road announce its completion. This road has been carefully built by experienced workmen, who have graduated at the bast slaughter-house in the land. The scenery along the line is remarkably fine, consisting principally or yawning chasms, charming precipices, and shaky tres tles. The rails are laid very loose, and without extra spikes, which, when cars are going at full speed, keeps the passenger in delightful mo tion, settles his dinner, and some times his "hash" most effectually. The coaches are full of wood which in case of accident, always splin ters, and thus give passengers hold ing insurance tickets a chance to make a little money, with an occasional prize, in case of death. The seats are con structed on an entirely new plan, being made in the shape of a coffin, so that the holder ofa ticket, in case of acci dent, can he immediately boxed up and sent homo. The stoves arc of a new and unique patent, and known as the Railway Cooking Stoves. It is calculated that, with a good fire a first class passenger ; can i e thoroughly cooked in ten or fif teen minutes, although much morespeed can be attained if neeessary. The attention of the traveling public ! is directed to the new and unique style of tomb stones, furnisho i by this com pany to those purchasing through tick ets. j A large corps of undertakers at each station, and elegant hearse cars accom pany each train. The sleeping cars upon this road are got up regardless of expenses, and pas sengers can sleep without fear ofbeing awakened by the noise of their conduc tors. In fact, most of our passengers never wake up after once getting to sleep. Wives having cross husbands, should have them purchase tickets on this route; trfey will never scold a gain. The Government is about to do a way with capital punishment, crimi nals being furnished with tickets over this line. ! Death is certain, and the system of j hanging is thus avoided. Revolvers, poison, and butcher ' knives on each train for the amuse ment and use of patrons when they are tired o^ pidin - No repa/.** are allowed on coaches ; the wheels, used till they bretak or burst. v-oro llers on each train. Collisions inevitable and explosions sure. Persons wishing to reach Ue mansions in the skies, ask for" tickets via this line. Life insurance tickets furnished grat is those desiring the same. WADE IXU TIIEJPKESIOEXCY. The Constitution of the Union, says tiie Cincinnati Enquirer , excludes the Vice l'resi ent from presiding in the Senate when it is organized as a Court of Impeachment for the trial of the President of the United States. In all other impeachments lie presides, but in this case the Chief-Justice takes his place at the head of the Senate. — The Reason of it is that, being Vice- President, he would succeed the Presi dent if he was successfully impeached, and therefore has a great interest in se curing his conviction. BENJIMAN I*. WADE, of Ohio, now stands in the po sition of a Vice-President. He is the President of the Se.nate. There being no Vice-Prssident, he draws the salary of that office; and in eaJ'e 'if the death or removal of the Chief becomes the President. U x ° has the same interest, therefore, in his remo inoval as the Vice-President. The same constitutional reasons that w> prevent a regularly-chosen Vice dent from acting in a President's trial applies to Mr. WADE. But the latter cares nothing for the Constitution. lie cares nothing for individual decency or self-respect. He insists upon being one of the President's judges, with the tern ptation before him of the President's office, in case he is convicted. He is admitted to be a deeply interested jur or. if his vote secures the impeach ment of the President, his salary is in creased from $3,000 to Si"), 000 a year, together with all the immense patron age and power of the office. Under these circumstances, what must be the shameful effrontery of that man who would insist upon being sworn in as a party to decide upon what was really his own ease? It can- J not be estimated. He must have a j cheek of iron and a forehead of brass, j But BENJIMAN F. WADE is that man. j With an indecency that would almost j shame Satan himself, he approaches the I bar of the Senate to take an oath only to bi given to a fair and disinterested judge. But, execrable as is his conduct. how> VOL. 62.—WHOLE No. 5,436. much more infamous is that of the Senate itself, which permits such an outrage upon every prieiple of justice such a scandal upon common and or dinary decency—to be consummated ? But it does soeven without a murmur. A majority of its members are little if any better than WADE. They have prejudged and decided the case in ad vance against the President. \\ ith out hearing a word from the party accus ed—with no trial whatever —before any impeachment—the Senate decided, by resolution, that the Persident had vio lated the Constitution by the removal of STANTON, and the appointment of General THOMAS, as Secretary of War. Thus the President appears, for what is called a trial, before a body of judges who are either interested against him, or who, in advance of any trial, have made up their minds in the case! It is such a body—such an organization —that the Radical press calls a High ■ Court of Impeachment. A DARKEY JURY.—At a recent ses sion of the court in South Carolina, an j entire colored jury was empanelled. A case was brought before them—the j witnesses examined and the attorneys made their respective arguments. The j Judge after laying down the law, and j recapitulating the testimony, gave the j papers into the hands of the foreman— an intelligent looking darkey—with instructions to bring in a verdict with out delay. Thirty minutes or more elapsed when the Jury returned, headed by the fore man, and stood before the Judge. As the foreman appeared to hesitate, and to wear a disappointed look, the Judge asked— "Mr. Foreman, have you found a ver dict ?" "No Massa Judge, we haven't found 'em," replied the ebony juryman. "It's a very plain case," said the Judge. "Can't help it, massa, couldn't see it." "On what grounds?" "We didn't look into the grounds, Massa Judge," replied the puzzled fore man ; "de ossifer didn't take us out into thegrounds, but betook us into a room, i and locked us in and told us when we found de verdict, he would luff us out. So we began to find de verdict, and we searched every nook, corner, crebiee, and everything dar was in dat room, but we found no verdict —no, Massa Judge, dar was no verdict —noffinof de ! kind dar." Two WESTERN HUNTERS, named Hotfmun and Cowan, both good shots, and notalittlegiven to boasting of their skill, went out one day on h deering expedition. Shortly after separating in the woods, Hoffman heard Cowan's gun fired off,—when he went to the spot, expecting to help Cowan hang up a deer.—He found him loading his gun, and shouted out, — "Hallow, Cowan! what did you shoot at just now?" "None o' your business: go along over the hill." Surprised at this crusty answer, Hoff man looked around, and discovered a among the bushes. Again he cried out,— "I ssy Cowan, did you shoot at the calf?" ' . "Yes, I did; but it's none o' your business." "Why what made you shoot at it ?" "Why, I took it for a deer." "Well, did you hit it ?"- "No: I missed it." "How did you miss it ?" "Why, I wasn't quite sure that it wasn't a calf." "You are a pretty specimen of ft hun ter," rejoined Hoffman, "to shoot at a calf for a deer, and miss it at that!" "Don't make a fool of yourself," replied Cowan ; "I shot at it just so as to hit it if it was a deer, and miss it if it was a calf." •'Where are you going with that miserable animal ?" asked a traveler of a farmer who was dragging a lean, wretched-looking horned sheep along the road. "I am taking him to the 'mutton mid,' to have him ground over," said the farmer. "The mutiou-wiU ! I never heard of such a thing. I will go with you and witness the process." They arrived at the mill. The sheep was thrown alive int the hopper, and almost immediately disappeared. They then descended to a lower apartment, ' and in a few moments there wereeject from a spout in the ceiling, four qUf , Hers of excellent mutton, tieo sides of nu v '* yy) leather, a icool hat of the first quality a sheep's head (handsomely dressed',)" imd two elegantly carved poie der-horm. —"Dan Sidles" recently spoke his piece at Mauc hester.

To which one of the iulies re plied, in clear, ringing voice, "We didn't come to hear, we came to see the murderer." Poor Dan. was as white as a sheet, and his speech was felt by his friends to be a failure, fie talked as though the ghost of a mur dered man hung before bis eyes. —Gov.

ITKAVF.3 IN HORSES.- \V E would rc mind our readers that horses, fed in part on carrots, never suffer from heaves; they will be found to have a silky coat as well as a loose hide, and enjoy far better health than when ha\ and oats alone are used. Three quarts of carrots and three quarts of oats will sustain a horse much better than six quarts of oats. When the carrots form part of the feed, all the oats will be di gested and assimilated ; whereas, when oats alone are fed, the dung will he found to contain whole oat shells, un dccomposed starch, amounting to more than half the quantity of oats consumed. The floor of every cutting box should be ribbed or opened, so as to permit all dust to pass down before the hay reach es 'he cutting knives. Many horses are rendered asthmatic by being fed dusty hay, and, conse quently, every means calculated to re move the dust should bo resorted to. LABELS FOR FRUIT TREES.—We have found the following receipt, taken from an English work, to make an in delible Ink, for writing on zinc, and one not affected by the weather. Cut up the common sheet zinc in:o strips about half an inch wide by 2 or 3 inch es long, and write with a quill pen. The zinc should previously lie made bright. Through a hole at one end in troduce a thin copper wire, long o nough to encircle a branch or limb, and it will remain for years, giving tu the owner of a newly planted orchard the satisfaction of knowing, at alt times, his varieties. Care in respect to labels would obviate much of the con fusion in all parts of the country, as to correct nomenclat ure.—"Takea drachm of Verdegris, 1 drachm Sal-ammonia powder and half a drachm of Lamp black, and mixed with 10 drachms of water." Shake beloro using. APPLYING PLASTER. —A correspon dent of the Massachusetts Ploughman having asked to be informed 'of the most proper season of the year for the application of plaster to pasture lands for renovation; also, the best method of applying the same, the best quantity per acre neccessary for a fair trial, and the quality of land to which it is adapted—the editor replied as follows : We think the early spring tho best season, say the latter part of March or early in April. We would sow broad- the rate of about two hundred pounds to the acre. Ililly pastures, with a northern aspect and a moist, mossy soil, are most benefitted by its application. On granite soil or soils throughout the gneiss formation, which usually contain more or less potash, plaster works promptly and ef fectively. But on locations where it has not been found to work so well, it should be applied in connection with wood ashes. "Where plaster has any perceptible effect at all, it brings in a luxurant growtn of white clover and otherwise improves the grasses. Many farmers apply it regularly once in two years, and find it the cheapest and most e conomical dressing they can apply. It ought to bo fresh ground. The dark variety isthought to bethestrongestand best. - * FODDER FOR HTOC K.—lt is probable that considerable land designed for corn the present Spring will fail to be planted on account of the prevalence of wet weather. In such case, it would be a good plan to sow corn for fodder purposes. Good land will produce a heavy burthen of this kind of food for cattle. It is especially good for dairy stock, and may be fed in a green or in a dry state. The sweet variety is con sidered the best, and it is richer and eaten more readily than any other, What is not used in a green state may be cut and dried for winter use. It may be fed whole, or cut up and mixed with something else, as circumstances shall dictate. FIELD WORK.—Clover and Grass seed may bo sown on the winter grain.
