The same God who moulded the sun and
kindled the stars, watches the flight of the in
sect. He who balances the clouds and hung
the earth upon nothing notices the fall of the
Sparrow. He nlic; gives Saturn his rings and
placed the moon like a ball of silver in the
broad arch of heaven, gives the rose leaf a de
licate tint, and made the sun to nourish the
violet. And the - same Being notices the
pm sea of the cherubim and the prayers of the
little children. There Is but a breath of air
and a beating of the heart betwixt this world
and the next. And in the brief interval of
awful suspense, while we feel that death is
present with us, that the last pulsation here is
but the pielude of eiless life hereafter ; we
feel in the midst of the stunning calamity a
bout to befall ut4 that earth has no compensa
ting good to mitigate the severity of our loom
But there is no grief without some beneficent
provision to soften Its intenseness. When the
good and the lovely die, the memory of their
good deeds, like moonbeams upon the stormy
sea, lights up our darkened hearts and lends
ti 3 the surrounding gloom a beauty so sad, so
sweet that we would not, it we could, dispel
the darkness that environs them.
SCRAPS F 0M DYE. - -"Papa 's come !" And
eyes grow brighter and feet go lighter, and all
the home seems filled with fairies. As the
merry shout goes out from heart and soul, so
full of mirth and music, so full of life and love,
the birds sing softly, and the zephyrs stop to
listen, and the life forgets to be weary.
"Papa 's come !" Day after day 'tis the
same joyous pulsation, never feeling less,
never weary of loving, never growing cold.—
Though the stern realities of life come upon
us, and seize our time and thoughts and
strength, and though cares and troubles absorb
us entirely, the merry shout of "papa 'a com
ing !" makes everything light and easy, and
makes the sun-shine brighter than before.
"Papa coming !" and willing hands will
take off half your burden, and a willing heart
will take all your care, and just appreciation
will make you happier and more beautiful
than before.
"Papa's come!" A strange and curious
thing, this impress of a stronger life upon a
home. Children fly to it, expand in it, love
it. Woman would be desolate without it;
she would sadly miss its gaiety and mirthful
nese.
"Papa's come!" And night has come, and
quiet and appreciation and earnestness and
confidence and rest. The home is still, and
true hearts beat in unison. Happy home,
happy father, happy mother, joyous children
Sing your songs of peace, angels will hear
them ; raise your voices in prayers of thank
fulness, God will hear them. Bing softly in
.your heart of hearts, "Papa 's come, may God
protect h! m!"
Enaoas.—The little that I have seen of the
wotid and known of the history of mankind,
teaches me to look upon their errors in sorrow,
not in anger. When I take the history of one
poor heart, that has sinned and suffered, and
represent to myself the struggles and tempta
tions it passed through; the tears of regret; the
brief pulsations of Joy; the feebleness of pur
pose; the scorn of the world that has little char-
ity; the desolation of the soul's sanctuary and
threatening voices within; health gone, hap
piness gone, I would fain leave the soul ofmy
fellowinan with him from whose bands it came.

sentiments. It is true that men often forget

The following amusing incident is related
in the Cortland (N. Y.) Gazette
"A very amusing affair occurred last Sab
bath morning in a church not far from this
village. The clergyman was discoursing as
eloquently as the state of the weather would
permit, yet one of his auditors—a young lady
—was so overcome by the heat as to fall a
sleep in the midst of the discourse. Those
behind her were somewhat amused, observ
ing her efforts to keep her head in a perpen
dicular position. The superintendent of the
Sabbath school happening to look around just
as the lady's head was going over backward,
supposed she had fainted; and springing to
his feet called out to the doctor to stop and
send down from the desk a tumbler of water,
which request was immediately complied
with and a copious supply of water was ad
ministered to the somnolent young lady be
fore she had time to fairly recover herself.
A number of sympathizing ones gathered a
bout her, but she soon retired from the audi
ence room with a face too crimson to com
port with a fainting fit. When she sleeps in
church again, it will probably be . with one
eye open."
Awrur. hirootx.—The following is a
melancholy illustration of the uncertainty of
the types. A young gentleman by the name
of Conkey haring united in the holy bands of
wedlock, sent the marriage notice, with a
couplet of his own composition, to a local pa
per for publication, as follows :
"Harried—On August Ist, A. Conkey, Esq.
Attorney at Law, to Miss Euphremia. Wig.
gins.
"Love is the union of two hearts that beat in
softest melody.
Time with its ravages imparts no bitter fusion
to its ecstacy."
Mr. Conkey looked with much anxiety for
the issue of the paper, that he might see his
name in print. The typo into whose charge
the notice was placed happened to be on a
spree at the time, and made some wonderful
blunders in setting it up, thus :
"Married—On August Ist. A.Donkey,
Eternally at law . , to Miss Euphunia Pigging.
"Jove is an onion with two heads that belt In
softest melony.
Time with its cabbages imparts no better food
to an extra dray."
Osit day after the horrible catastrophe on
the Dijon Railway, an old man who had es
caped by a miracle from the crushed cars,
presented himself at the place of disaster. A
workman, who was collecting the debris and
clearing the track, inquired what he wanted.
"Monsieur, I am one of the victums."
The workman looked up, and seeing a man
without an injury, inquired, "Whom have
you lost, then—your wife, your child, any
friend ?"
"No, Monsieur, I have lost my umbrella.'
The workmen searched among the broken
cars, and by a singular chance found the um
brella
"There," said he, giving it to the peastint,
`you are lucky to get out of the scrape in
this way."
"You call that lucky?" returned the man
"look here--they hare broken two whale
bones."
A GOOD STOWL —Gen_ John A. Logan, in
a remit speech, told the following neat story
of army life :
At Kenesaw Mountain we had in our com
mand an Irishman by the name of Jimmy.—
They had a great many Irishmen on the other
side. We had a little truce there, and the
men on both sides wcre allowed to talk to
gether awhile Jimmy recognized in one of
the rebels an old acquaintance named Paddy,
'and says he : "What the d—l are you doing on
that side ?" "Why, this is the side of the Gov
ernment, sure," says Jimmy, "I'm on the loy
al side." "The d—l you are," says Paddy :
"ain't that the Abolition side ? Be dad, and
I'm on the Democratic side, any how !"
[Cheers.] He was satisfied that he was on
the side that he had always voted on, and that
he was still following in the ranks of his party.
QtICK WITTED. —A down East Agricultur
ist last summer required a number of reapers.
Several presented themselves, and all were
engaged with one exception. The poor man
thus omitted said :
"Mister, won't you hire me ?"
"No," said the farmer.
"Why not?"
"Because you are too little."
"Too little !" exclaimed the astonished Irish
man; "does your honor reap your grain at
the top?"
What could the farmer do but roar with
laughter, and send the little man to join his
comrades in the field.
SOLDIER Wrr. —We have read many amusing
specimens of soldier wit during the late war,
but as good as we have seen was the reply of
a Virginia cavalryman to a North Carolina in.
fantryman. It was on the march toward
Adairsville, in November, '63, a cold, bright
morning, while the troop were lying along the
road waiting for obstacles to be removed in

on an old tleabitten frame of a horse, and as
he passed a chap'greeted him with—
"l say, mister, you are mighty like a Brother

The cavalryman did not relax a muscle, but
gazing "tar heel" straight in the ace, replied:

HAvitag- recently had the *am" of seeing
some fine Alderney stock; the thought has
occurred to me that a communication In re
gard to it would not be uninteresting to the
farmers of our county. My &nation has
been called to this, stock by the fact that
have always found it almost impossible to ob
tain from my cows anything like the yield of
butter which many men represent theirs as
yielding. By many men cows are mid to pro
duce from G to 7,8, 9, and even 12 pounds of
butter per week, as though it were no uncom
mon thing ; and yet I will venture to say
there is no herd of cows on any farm in this
county, which averages near 6 pounds per
week. The Alderney cows are represented as
being the richest milkers and the largest but
ter-makers. If this he so, then their Introduc
tion upon our farms would be a vast benefit to
all who keep cows, and it is with the hope
that some additional interest may be taken in
that direction, that I write in regard to them.
The first herd I saw was that of Mr. Shinn,
of Haddonfield, New Jersey. Haddonfield is
the first station on the Camden and Atlantic
Railroad, 6 miles from Philadelphia—a beau•
tiful village, reminding one of the villages of
New England, with its wooden houses and
fine yards. Mr. Shinn received and enter
tained me with more hospitality than I had a
right to ezpect, being an entire stranger to
him• After breakfast, I walked out with him
to his pasture lot near the village, which con
tained his cows. Here he had fifteen thor
ough-bred Aiderneys, all in milk. To an ad
mirer of fine cows, this was quite an enter
tainment. Some of these animals afe beauti
ful in appearance—their handsome fawn .or
squirrel color, with black nose, eyes, and
mouth, make them look more like deer than
cows. But this is only true of some; others
are not any prettier than the veriest "scrub"
that tinkles her bell on a village common.—
In fact, the greatest disadvantage under which
this stock labors, is, that it is not sufficiently
showy for the ordinary observer. The Dur
ham or the• Devon will attract attention by
their fine, large, showy appearance, whilst
the less attractive Alderney will be passed by
unnoticed.
Their peculiarities are a long, narrow face,
and long, lean lower jaw, long joints in all
their limbs, small, oftentimes crooked, horns,
narrow chest, sharp withers, pointed or
peaked in the hind quarters, and an immense
abdomen as compared with the size of the
carcass. The last peculiarity is the most no-
ticeable of all their "points," and indicates,
above all othera, good milking qUalities. In
looking over the herd I inquired,the prices at
which they were held, selecting, at the time,
such as seemed to me most desirable. The
two cows, "Blanche," and "Flora," looked to
me most promising, and were held at $3.75 a
head; others notabo desirable, at $250, &c.
•
For two of his cows, bred from stock impor
ted by the "Massachusetts Agricultural Soci
ety," he said he would not take $1,500. One
cow I saw whose grandmother had made 18
pounds of batter in one week. When I was
told this, I was disposed to be a little incred
ulous, but Mr. Shinn persisted in affirming
its truth---so here it must rest. These cows
all have regular pedigrees showing their ori
gin from imported stock. Mr. Shinn's oldest
bull, "Putnam," bred by William F. Potts,
out of "Lottie," by "Pilot," is the finest Al
derney bull I have ever seen. He has a fine
color, soft, velvety skin and hair, and well
proportioned—not so much of the "scrub"
about his look as there is about much of this
stock.
After seeing his milking stock, we drove to
his farm, two miles distant, tb see the young
stock. Here he bad Leiters and bulls of near-
ly all ages, some of them very fine, and others
rather coarse-looking. Heifer-calves just
taken from the cow he priced at $lOO ; bulls
the same age could
. be had for leas" money--
bulls fit for service in the neighborhood of
4200. There is always more deniand for
heifer than for bull calves. This makes their
price higher.
It will thus be seen that the prices demand
ed for this stock are comparatively high, and
if there is not great virtrw in them somewhere
it may well be called a fancy price. Of their
actual value as butter-makers I was very anx
ious to convince myself, but did not entirely
succeed. Mr. Shinn said he would guaran
tee his herd to average near nine pounds per
week, but, at the same time, presented no
facia to show that they had ever done so. He
had never made the trial with any but one
heifer, which had made 10 lbs., when fresh.
This one he had sold to R. Hitcheson'Alex
antler, of Kentucky. He stated further, that
he had on one occasion seen cream an , inch
thick on a glass pan not more than four inches
deep. Such facts, of course, go far towards
recommending the stock ; and, it breeders
generally could produce more indisputable
facts of this kind, their stock would gain
greater popularity. But I must be pardoned
here for remarking that the general absence
of thoroughly substantiated statements of this
sort, strikes one as looking a little suspicious.
If, whilst looking over a herd of Alderney
cows, their owner can stand by you and
point out such a cow as now snaking het•lo
lbs. of butter per week, another as making 9,
ac. (instead of saying he thinks she will, or,
she ought to do it), you must at once be con
vinced of their superiority, and would be
ready to pay the high prices demanded for
such cows. But to expect men to buy cows'
and their young offspring, without being able
to obtain positive facts as '
to their milking
and creaming qualities, is unreasonable.—
With reflections of this sort, I parted with
Mr. Shinn at the Depot, assuring hint that
my visit to his place had been one of no ordi
nary interest and pleasure to me ; and feeling
more firmly convinced than ever that if our
milking stock can be improved by the intro
duction of any thorough-bred stock, it is to
the Alderney' we are to look for this im
provemetit. To any one desiring to make the
experiment, I can cheerfully recommend an
inspection of Mr. Shinn's herd from which to
select the stock to begin with. On my return,
I stopped in Chester county to see the noted
hog stock of that region, some account of
which I will communicate, if agreeable to you.
