I always loved the twilight hour,
And many times I've crept„
And, pushing back the the busied vines
Front which the dewdrops wept,
Stood almost breathless, with my hands
elapsed on the window sill,
To listen to that strangest bird,
Cry out its "whip-po-w111."
cannot tell you why It is •
Snch'memories will awake;
Nor why this spell creeps o'er me
I have no power to break;
I only know Hi fainted note
My very pulse will thrill,
And happier days come back to me
At its strange "whip-po-will."
IE was a night, long, long ago,
I cannot tell how long;
The future was before I know,
And heart and pulse beat strong;
She stood beside me, and our hands
Were clasped upon the sill ;
And we bent our heads to ILsten
To the strange "whlp•po-will."
Trn going' to traverse distant lands,
To stand where Arne flows:
To treat proud Venice's princely halls
And Switzer's Alplno snows;
And when ! come you'll be my wife ?
I felt my pulses thrill. "
As that bird caught her low response
And echoed back "I will."
I stood by Arne'a moonlit wave
And saw proud Venice's walla.
And saw tbe glowing sunset/100d
Italia's towers and halls,
And then I came to claim her heart,
Put it was cold and still
One mourner lingered by her grave—
That strange, strange "Whip-pa-will l"
I stand alone, aline to-night--
and nature is atieep:
I look upon that tombstone white,
Then bow my head and weep;
No little hand is elaaped in mine
Upon the window sill :
No sound this paint:l'lsl , l*(4lre breaks,
Save that one "whip-po-will."

EDITOR OF COMPILER:—In glancing
over a pares of recent date, my eye hap
pily fell uptn an article on the subject
- constructing cheap and comfortable
buildings, coinciding with• opinions and
ideas entertained by me for some years—
caking aside, as they do, all old fogy no
tions, the result of education or preju
dice. The great want of comfortable ac
commodations in our town, made mem
orable by hard fought battles in the late
unhappy war,) dem‘nds that prompt
means beg ken to supply the needs of
our increasing population, placing with
in the reach of ahnOst every man, how
ever humble, a little domicile of his own.
The argument now made ties of for not
improving in this particular is, that ma
terial and labor are too hi&h. Monied
men say they cannot be remunerated for
their money so invested. This argument
I think can be reached by submitting the
following to the intelligent and thinking
minds of your readers:
How to Build Cheap and Comfortable
Dwellings.—Those who have plenty of
money can purchase the brains of an ar
chitect to tell how - to construct a house,
if they have none of their on n, but those
who have but little money mu-t plan
their own homes, perhaps build them.
The popular nietltod of eee , tructiug
wood houses, particularly cottages, has
not been by any means the meA econo
mical that can be di , lSed. From thirty
to forty per cent. more lumber has been
used than is necessary, and tow•li labor
expended that is wholly concealed when
the touse is completed, and altogether
unnecessary. A small dwelling need
not be constructed as we would build a
warehouse, or a grain elevator. It is
never subjected to any test of ts strength,
and wooden cottages never fall down so
long as they have a good foundatiosi and
tilbse little ordinary repairs which all
houses must have - to ?amid the ravages of
time. No square timber and but few
scantlings are required in a small eot
tage. Mortices and tenons are of no ac
count—indeed they are a positive detri
ment, while braces are equally useless.
The studding of a haw may as well
be made of inch boards four inches wide,
as of double that thickness.. These studs
will held the nails of the tidings and the
lath just as well as those two iwthes In
thickness. Just as the floor joists may
be of inch stuff; eight inches wide.—
Having laid up the cellar walls of stony,
and leveled them at the top, Weals
should be laid on this wall to form a sill.
The bents of the froth° may then be set
tip one after another, And staved till the
siding can be put on. These Lents may
be made on the floor-joists, studs, cross
joists for the ceiling, and rafters, all nail
ed together firmly with cut nails, while
lying upon the ground. Every piece of
siding nailed to this frame tends to make
it ftrmer and stifer, and so (13 the laths
upon which the mortar is to be spread.
The partitions made in like manner, well
sectored, also tend to stiffen the whole
fabric. With here and there a good sup
port in the cellar, such a house, when
completed, would be just as desirable for
all practical purpoaes as one of the same
size containing nearly twice as much
material, and it would certainty be just
as warm. A cottage with five or six
rooms may be speedily constructed on
this principle at a much less cost than in
the popular style of building. This is a
substantial building compared with those
constructed on leased lands about Chica
go, and they are_ deemed very comforta
ble, and their strength and safety is not
questioned. Some method must he de
vised to cheapen the cost of dwellings,
and we know of none that commends
itself so well as this that we have sugges
ted.—Burai American '
MEXIIERSIIIP FEZ 62.
To make any further suggptions at
present would occupy too much time
space ; but should the matter be agitated,
I may again take it up. BUILDER.
We are glad to see that the use of mules
for all kinds of hard, rough work is
steadily gaining ground. These snimals
are not beautiful or musical, but they are
useful, and economical: They are tit for
work younger than the horse, gimp they
are put to service at three years old;
though they do not reach their maturity
until seven years (Wage. Their temper,
health and usefulness depend very, much
on, the manner of breaking them. The
so-called stubbornness and obstinacy of
this animal arises chiefly from the abuse
he is wont to receive when young. He
seldom if ever kicks or -bites those who
itluttb latiik.

treat him kindly. But the fact is, that
the club and whip and whip-handle and
boot-toe are applied to him without mer
cy; and yet he is. expected to be always
as patient and gentle as a cow !
---\ 7l
The mule will do more work, d re
quire lass grain, than a horse ; he e less
liable to disease, and recovers from sick
ness and injury, quicker than a horse.
He works better when old, and holds out
longer. He seldom takes fright, or runs
away. He does not like over-urging
when drawing heavy loads, and he
should never be driven very .fast. In
making up spans (those of 15 to 15i
lialltds high make most serviceable
teams,) those of similar dispositions
should be chosen and put together, so
that they will work together pleasantly
and with a will. The mule seems made
for work—he thrives under it, and is bet
ter in spit its and temper than.when idle.
BORERS AND Toxtcrocs
Mr. li. J. Foster, of Quincy, Mass.,
write , . the N. E. Farmer that lig had an
apple orchard which was badly infested
by the borer. Some three years ago,
while removing borers from his trees, he
notieod that invariably there were no
signs of their work to be discovered
wherever a chalice plant of the tomato
had sprung up from seed in the soil or
from manure. Acting on this discovery,
he p'anted tomatoes extensively about
his apple trees and quince bushes, and
found them a complete protection from
the assaults of the borer, as the beetle,
which deposits the egg of this pest, will
nut go near a plant of this character.
MEASURIX9 iiA Y.—The following
method of ascertaining the amount of
hay in a mow, we find recommended to
those who may live at a distance from
hay scales. „Multiply thelength, breadth
and height together, and if the hay is
sconewlw, settled, teu solid yards make
a ton. Clover will take from ten to
twelve solid yards per ton.

EDITING A PAPER.
Considering how many advisers of edi
tors there are, it is strange there are so
few good editors. Perhaps a careful in
vestigation of the matter would show,
however, that good editors are oftener
spoiled by trying to follow too many ad
visers than L,- having too few. There.is
plenty of advice, - which the receiver
would do better to po.-ket than to prac
tice. Most advisers, so far our olsaer
vation goes, regard much writing and
good Editing as nearly synonymous.
There is no greater mist4ke, Auld none
1. - I.lre fatal in the sticee , sful editing of a
general newspaper. Benjamin Franklin
has •the credit of saying that "the best
editor is scissors," by which he probably
meant that the editor who recognizes the
fact of there being in the manv
gt.od writers besides himself, and avails
himself of the good things they have
written. will make the most interesting
and acceptable newspaper. Men who
know most about making newspapers,
do not estimate an editor's labors by the
number of columns he writes, but by the
general completeness and finish of his
paper as a whole. The following para
graph, written by an Eoglislanan of
much experience, contains the gist of
the whole matter:.
'A good editor hr competent newspa
per conductor, is like a general or a poet
- not wade. I..;voreise and experi
ence giVe facility, but the qualification
.is innate, or it is never Mu nitested. On
the London daily papers, all the great
historians, novelists, poets, essayists, and
wr:ters of travels, have keen tried, and
nearly every one has failed. `I can,'
said the late editor of the 1.011 lon Times,
ciid any number of men of genius to
write for me, but very seldom one man
of (*mouton sense.' Nearly all successful
editors are of this‘ description. A good
enitur seldom writes much for his paper;
be reads, judges, selects, dictates, alters
and combines; and after doltig all this
well, lie has but little time fur composi
tion. To w,•ite for a 'paper is one thing—
to edit a paper is another."
• tie The following story is told of a
Yankee captain and his mate. Whenev
er three was a plum pudding made, by
the captain's orders all the plums were
put into oueplace next to the captain,
who after helping himself, pissed it to
the mate; who never found any plums
In his part of it. Well, after this game
bad been played fur some time, the mate
prevailed on the steward to place the end
which had no plumbs in next to the cap
tain. The captain no sooner saw the
puddhig than he discovered he had the
weeng end of it. Picking up the dish,
and turning it in his hands, as if merely
for examining the china, be said, "th'is
di h cost me twn shilling in Liverpool,"
ftwi put it down ag,cin us though without
de. , -igu, with the plum end next to him
self. "Jo it PO4bible?" said the mate,
taking up the Mob; "I shouldn'tsnppose
it Wal worth more than aohilling," and,
as if in perfect innocence, he put down
the di.ll, with the plum end next to him
self. The p captain looked at the mute,
the mate looked at the captain. The
captain laughed, the mate laughed. "I
tell you what, yowl , ' '
one," said the cap
tain,"you've found me out, 'so we'll just
cut the pudding It ngthwise this time,
and have the plums fairly distributed
hereafter."
Ofir The Williamsport BuYain tells the
following story:
"One of the curiosities of the season is
that of numerous grasshoppers appearing
on the grass where the snow has melted
oil. Whether this phenomenon is gen
eral, or only confined to particular local
ities, we are not able to state. Mr. H. H.
Morse, who resides on Centre street,
caged' several and brought them to our
office. They were as lively as in mid
summer. The grass in has patio is filled
with these summer visitants. Who has
seen winter grasshoppers elsewhere?"
Radical Corruption.—ln Pennsylvania
the electiim of U. S. Senator is followed
by a legislative committee to investigate
grave accusations of corruption In the
selection fvf the tirat representative officer
of the government. In Kansas, two
Senators have been chosen, and- a like
committee of investigation is the sequel.
In Nevada a .Seitator was elected, and
a committee is performing the same duty
in that infant commonwealth. The
Kansas legislature,ilickened with the
struggles of venal ambition, has passed
a rebolution in both branches asking
Congress to provide for the election of
United States Senators by the people.
The New York city authorities are
about to stop all lotteries, gift enterprises,
&c., whether winducted under secular
or rligious auspices.

Th gerntd pronoun eeirtise "p raptor,' -
of Daniel Webster, which we published
In our last, "stupendous falsehood,"
and says that hie (Webster's) "life-long
services to his country ought at least.kr
protect Ins memory from haeh base ass 4
mutts." But yet, notwithstanding the'
Herald's denial, Mr. Webster did use the
very languaate we quoted. Many yeast
ago, when Mr. Webster was convinced
that the "Infernal fanatics and Aboli
tionists" would "bankrupt the country
and deluge it lu blood,' -if not arrested in
their mad comer, lie proposed to address
hie fellow-eitiz,ns, in Faneuil hall, Boa.
ten. The city nuthoriti:-, who wars
"Infernal fanatics and Abolitionists,"
refused the use of the hall to the great
statesman, slammed its doors in his
face, and groaned and hissed him when
he made his appearance. Icy had not
much respect for his "life-long . Barytes.
to his country." Mr. Webster, refusing
to be hisse 1 down by the consßirators
made his :Teel+, from the steps of Ss ho
tel, and then it way that he used this
language:
"If these infernal fanatics and Aboll
ti on kis ever get the power ,into their
hands, they u ill override the Constilat
'on ; Pet the Supreme Court at defiance;
change mut make laws to suit themselves;
lay violent hands ou those who differ
with them in opinion and dare question
their infallibility, and dually bankrupt
the country anti deluge it In blood."
The "infernal fanatics" were fierce In
i►eir denunciation, of Mr. Webster
that time, and spoke of him in language
sinalar to that employed by them against ,
Andrew Johnson now. 'Ow held meet
ings, adopted resolutions requesting him '
to resign his seat in-the senate, and
heaped upon his head their choicest
bilhu~ date. - If our memory servees us,
the Le,gi.,l.dure of Afassaebusetts eon•
demned him by resolution, and asked
him to resign and "go home.'t ,What a.!
wonderful respect:the - infeinatlanattea u
had for his "life-lung services."
It will not avail the Heritki then to ;
deny that Daniel Webster used the Lan
guage we quote above. He did use if,
and it is a part of his history; and if i
Daniel Webster were living now, and
in his seat in the Senate, his stentorian !
voice would be heard against the "infer
nal fanatics" as of yore, and with a wave +
of his hand he would send such pigmies I

and, appealing to the patriotism of the

bastard Senators :wit.) occupy seats once
occupied by great am( good men—should
desist from their treasonable efforts to
destroy the Union, or it they did ,
not, that they be regarded and dealt wita

the veins of the Sumners and Wades;

TUE NATI ON'IIILEGISLATOEIL
Nothing that this journal has ever
said is more condemnatory of "the leader
of the House," than the language used
respecting him by the Boston Advertiser.
After commenting on his failure to
bend the House to his purposes In refer
ence to his reconetrution bill, it claims,
that the leadership of Hr. Stevens is as
much a superstition as a fact. It says:
"Few men in Congress are more eorn
pletely destitute of the qualltlis which
should charitetedze a leader of a great
party, although it may he that few ha**
more of the tprilitias which enable a man
to seize a te9iporary control. He has
neither cool judgemitt nor a sagacious
comprehension, nor the intellectual au
thority of a great mind, nor even a prop.
er elf-respect. He has seemed to lead,
however—and It may be admitted that
to a certain extent ho has lead—for the
simple reason that, whether his conclu
sions are well reasoned or not, be knows
what he wants, while the mass around
him do not."
This is almost as eetere on his follow
ers as on the leader. To say that the
legislators of a great nation, to the midst
of a great crisis, do not know what they
want, Is to charge them with a mournful
incapacity for their high .truatt.; yet this
is the laugui age of a party friend, not a
