A WEE LITTLE chap, who sometimes says things we think very odd, one day, as he was disposing of some bread and milk, turned around to his mother, and said, "O, mother, I'm full of glory! There was a sunbeam on the spoon, and I swallowed it." A soldier of the Ist Pennsylvania cavalry, inthePo tomac army, was a short time since found asleep near Warrenton, Va., having slept 24 hours. He stepped up to his captain and said, "Captain. I die to-morrow at 4 o'clock, and the war will end in June. You have no more for ine to do." As the clock struck 4on the following day he died without a groan. LIME. —A farmer commences with the use of lime on his soil; the first season he sees an improvement: he continues its use for some two or three years, and finds but little, if any perceptible change in his crops; and he now cries humbug, this use of lime. Now the truth is, that on his first application, the land was rather deficient in lime only: but in not using other manure in connection, other substances in the soil were exhausted : potash or soda was now wanted, and hence the constant use of lime only for a series of years will injure and deteriorate the soil. A HORNED WOMA.V.— The New York Observer, of the 12th instant contains a letter from its corres pondent at Larnaca, in the island of Cyprus (Turkish dominions), describing a most remarkable lusus na tnree recently discovered there. Ii is nothing less than a woman with horns growing out of her head! She has one large horn on the side of her head of the size and consistency of an ordinary ram's horn, besides three or fonv cornicles on other parts ofhor head. The writer -dates that he has seen her, and that she has been visited by nearly all the consuls and Europeans in that place, some of whom are making an effort to secure her for exhibition. FOOLISH PRIDE. —We have often heard ahalfgrown up boy say pettishly to his mother. "I dont like to be seen carrying a big bundle through the streets. But true pride is ashamed of such littleness of mind. Mr. Astor, the wealthy millionaire of New York, was reluctant to sell some goods to a young man, ex cept for cash. The merchant paid for tbero and took them on his shoulder to carry them out of his store. Mr. Astor looked in surprise ; but before the merchant had gone many slops, he called him back, saying. "You may bay 011 credit to any amount. I can trust you. sir. A man who is not ashamed to do his own work is sure to succeed." Here is a good lesson for false pride. How TO GET EARLY TOMATOES. —Mrs E. D. Ken dall. of Maryland, thus writes to the Southern Field and Fireside: —"A good large turnip is far better than any hotbed for propagating tomatoes. Cut off the top. and scoop out a shell three-quarters of an inch thick. Fill the cavity with rich mould, plant half a dozen seeds, and place the turnip in a box of loam. Keep warm, sprinkle with tepid water every day, until there is no longer any dangerfrom the frost, then return the turnip to the out-door bed. and thin out all but one plant. Should the turnip send out roots, pinch them off and the shell will soon rot, affording a fertilizer to the tomato plant that will send it ahead wonderfully. A dozen turnips tomntoized will afford an abundant supply of early tomatoes for an ordinary family. WELCOME. —"Papa will soon be here," said mam ma, to her three years old boy, "what can Georgey do to welcome him?" And the mother glanced at the child's playthings, which lay scattered in wild confusion on the carpet. "Make the room neat," replied the bright little one. understanding the look, and at once beginning to gather his toys into a bas ket. "What more can we do to welcome papa?" asked mamma when nothing was wanting to the neatness of the room. "Be happy to Mm when he comes!, 1 cried the dear little fellow, jumping up and down with eagerness as he watched at the window for his father's coming. Now —as all dictionary ma kers will testify—it is very hard to give good defini tions ; but did not little Georgey give the very sub stance of a welcome ?—"Be happy to him when he comes," — Congrtgaiionalixt. "THERE'S A MAXIM IT!" —The confidence reposed in Lieut. Gen. Grant by President Lincoln, and the cordiality which exists between these distinguished men, were lmpily illustrated by a characteristic anec dote related recently by the 'President in the course of a familiar conversation with a persona! friend.— to a question in regard to the present milita ry prospect. Mr. Lincoln, with that peculiar smile which he always puts on when about to tell a good story, said: "Well, sir your question reminds rne of a little anecdote about the automaton chess-player, which many years ago astonished tho world by its skill in that game. After a while the automaton was challenged by a celebrated player, who. to his great chagrin, was beaten twice by the machine. At the end of the second game the player, signifieently point log his finger at the automaton, exclaimed, in a very decided tone, ' There's a man in it! and this, sir, is just the secret of our present success." A PUZZLED BRIDEGROOM.— One of the Brooklyn papers tells a laughable story about a puzzled bride groom. The bride stole away early in the evening, and sent her twin sister, clad in the wedding finery, to take her place beside her loving husband. The cheat remained undiscovered until the false bride could personate the true one no longer, boldly told the astonighed Benedict that she was not his wife, and refused to retire with him- In vain he protested, and in vain the assembled company bore witness to the marriage ceremony, and urged to over come her childish scruples. She stoutly mantained, before astonished guests and astounded groom, that she had never wedded any man. At last her moth er was brought forward to talk to the refractory young lady; but after putting on her spectacles, and going through with a deliberate inspection, announced the important fact -" Why, Mr. Brown, you did not marry that girl; you married Fanny, and this is Jane dressed up in Fanny's clothes. " 'THE CORN GRT'B. —The corn crop has several for midable enemies to contend with, and among them is she grub, which sometimes literally destroys whole fields, or damages the crop seriously, One of the best and most convenient remedies —perhaps the very best erev suggested— is the application of salt as soon as the plant make® its appearance above ground, prepared and used in this way: Take one part common salt and three parts plaster or gypium, and apply about a table-spoonful around each hill. It will be found to lie a sure protection. The mix ture should not come in contact with the yoang E' las it may destroy them. This method has tried over and over again by some of the best rs of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey, and when properly applied, has never failed to be per fectly successful. We hope our farmers, who have reason to fear the depredations of the grub the pres ent season, will try this mixture, leaving a few alter nate rows of corn without the salt, and communicate to us the result. —jDetawGrc Republican.

INCOMES A REVENUES, No. 118 SOUTH SEVENTH STREET, PHILADELPHIA, APSIL 4TH, 1864. The Committee on "Labor, Incomes and Revenues." in vite co-operation with them in the particular work for which they have been appointed. As no portion of the people are more patriotic than the working men and wo men of the country, it is but just and proper that they should alike have un opportunity to contribute to the ob ject of the Fair. The most equable plan for oeeomplish ing this, and, at the same time tho easiest one, is to ask for the contribution of a SINGLE DAY'S LABOR from all classes in the community. Many will contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their mon ey. TO reach every department of industry and ar' will bo a work of great labor, but if attainad, will be productive of immese results. The success or the plan will depend upon the hearty co-operation of every element of influence within our lim its and we invite all the guardians of the industrial inter ests, and all others, to take hold with us in furthering this great work of paariotisui and humanity. The Committee is charged with the following duty, to WIT: FIRST. —To obtain the contribution of" one day's labor." or earnings, from every artisan and laborer, foreman, op erative and employee; president, cashier: toller and clerk of every incorporated and unincorporated company, rail road and express company, employing firm, bank, manu factory, iron-works, oil-works, mill, mine and public of fice; from every private banker and broker, importer, auc tioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman : design er, finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic; from every government offier, contractor and employee; grocer, butcher, baker and dealer; fanner, horticulturist and producer; from every mantua manker, milliner and female operative; every individual engaged in turning the so:!, tending the loom, or in any way earning a liveli hood, or building u fortune within the States of Pennsyl vania, New Jersey and Delaware. SECOND. —To obtain tho contribution of one day's "Rev enue," lroin all the great employingestablisements, firms, corporations, companies, railroads and works. THIRD. TO obtain the contributions of one's income from every retired person, and person of fortune — male and female — living upon thciruieans. and from all clergy men lawyers, dentists, editors, authors and professors : all other persons engaged in the learned or other professions. Much of this work must be performed by the personal influence and efforts of ladies and gentlemen associated, or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out this plan. The Committee feel the responsibility of the work they have undertaken, which, to be successful, will require a very perfect ramification of their plan, and they therefore call upon all earnest people, to assemble themselves to gether in eicry town, township, and county, and form or ganizations ot ladies und gentlemen to co-operate with them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu facturing counties, the coal unci oil regions, and in the agricultural districts, — especially, let there he organiza tions in the large towns, so that the young people may have an opportunity thus to render assistance to their rel atives and friends fighting the battles of the country in the armies of the nation. The work of this Committeo may bo prosecuted where no other effort can BE made for the Fair, ASRIN tho mines of the coal regions, A day s earnings of the miners, and a day s product of the mines, can be obtained, where no portable articlo could bo procured for transportation. — Indeed there is no part or section of these States where the day's labor may not be obtained, if organizations can bo formed to reach them. The Committee cannot close without urging upon all I Proprietors ot Establishments, the duty of taking prompt and energetic action to secure the benefit of the DAY OF LABOR from all within their control. The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more, than thus to present the subject to ihejpeople of the three Htates named. In the coming campaigns of or.r armies, the LU bors of the "Sanitary Commission'' wi'J he greatlv aug mented. By the first of Juno 700,000 men— one of the largest armies of modern timos— will be operating in the field. So largo a force, scattered over regions to which the men are unacciiinated, must necessarily carry along with it a large amount ot sickness, suffering anil death, to say nothing of the gathered horrors of tho battle field. These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and Christians, to relieve. A groat and enlightened people, enjoying the blessings of a government of their making, CANNOT REFUSE assistance to men suffering to maintain its authority, and we will not believe that tho "GREAT CENTRAL FAIR," drawing its products from the three States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so af fluent in ail mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth, shall fall behind any similar effort which has yet been mode for the relief of the Nation's children. As it is desirable not to multiply circulars: no further authority than this circular will i>e necessary for any em ploying firm or company, or any respectable committee of ladies and gentlemen, to proceed at once, in the work of this committee; and it is hoped that under it, organiza tions will spring up in all the towns and bury regions of the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in the newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that they commence soon, as each fresh acknowledgment will stimulate efforts in other localities. All subscriptions should be addsessed to JOHN W. CLAGHORN, Treasurer, office of the "Committee on La bor, Incomes and Revenues," No. 118 fcmutb Seventh Street, Philadelphia.
