The least amount I earned in any year during the hist decadu (prior to ISM J was as on will find in this hook S212 01) in 1S57. Last year thanks to Abolition ism !- my earnings amounted to Si III 00.

Add to these ihe."5S0 (on Dry Goods and Groce ries) and we Inw lie? snug little sum of fdl'Jt-'l. 'One hundred and forty-nine dollars and eighty cents!' ejaculates Awl. Ye this amount, large as ii is for n man in humble circumstances', would be by no means the whole of the burden lin posc.l upon us by abo'.itionism. In addi tion lo the articles enumerated, wc m ed cloth, cassimeres. vesting-, shawls, blank ets, etc , all of which me smartly taxed. Assuming that in former yours weexpend ed about f 50 00 annually for goods of thai desciiption; we may safely suppose that, urder tho new tarill regulations, the name, quantity and quality of those goods would swell the amount bv $20 00. These ad ded to ?140 80 would equal SIO'.l Ml.

I I have 8"on a do n- in in tho prido ol lliu deep humility. Ho combed his hair straight., and looked studiously ul'ier the main chance ; nml while ho looked he emploved himself in setting a good exam ple. 11 is dress win i igidly plain, and his wife was cot indulged in the vanities of niilli.iery and mant iai making. Ho never joked. Ho did not know what a joke win, any further thnn to know that it was a sin. Mo carried a Sunday face through the week. He did not mingle in the hap py social parties of the neighborhood. He was a dencon. He starved his social na ture because ho wn ft deacon. Ho refrain ed from pai ticipat'on in a free ami gennr ous lite because he wns a deacon IIo mndo his children hate Sunday hecauso he wns a deacon. He so brought them up thai they learned to consider themselves um fortunate in being the children of a den eon. They wore pitied hy other children because they were the children of a dea con. His wife was pitied by other women hecauso she was the wife of a deacon. Nobody loved him. Ifhocamo into a circle where men were laughing or rehvt ing stories, they alwayn stopped until he lull. No one ever granped his hand cordially, or slapped him on tho shoulder, or spoke of him ns a good fellow. He seemed us dry and hard mid tough as a picoe of jerked beef. There was no softness of character no juiciness no loveliness hi him. Now, it is no use for me to tindetiake to reali.oto myself that God admires nue.li a character us this. 1 do not doubt that ID.' loves such a Hinn as this, as He love all men ; hut to admire his style of man hood mid piety is impossible for any intel ligent being. It hn-ks tho roundness and sweetness, tii.it belong to a truly admira ble character. Such a man caricatures f'iitisti inily, and sc. ires other nun away from it. Such a mm ostentatiously pre sents himself as one in wheso lif-i religi ui Is dominant. It is religion that is suppos ed to rub down iliat long f. ce, ami in spire that stiff demeanor, and to make him every point an unattractive and unlovable man. Uf course, it is nut religion that does anything of the kind, but has tho credit of it with the world, and th, world does not l.ke it. It looks around and seoa n gn-at many men who do not pretend to religion at all, and yet who are very lova ble men. If religion can transform a pleasant man into a most unpleasant one, and change a free, biilit and happy home into a dismal place of 'slavery, and blot out n man's ifthetic and .ocial nature, tho world nstuially think? that getting relig ion would ha almost as much of a misfor tune as getting some melancholy, chronic disease, mid 1 do not blame it. It is not to be wnr.derod at, that the world should mistake the true nature of Chiintianity, when Christians Ihemselvvi entertain such gi ievous errors about it. I suppose God is nt traded to very much tl e. same style of character that men are. Christ loved a young man at first sight, w ho lackvd Uie very thing essential to his highest manhood. Hut Ho loved the. kind of man He saw before Him. He was upright, frar.k-hearted, open minded, and bright; and ".'o-us beheld him, loved him." There are men whom one cannot help loving and admiring though they lack a great many thing- -things very "needful" to make them perfect men. , Now, I put it to good, oansiieiifious men and women, whetln'i- they do not take more pleasure in the soc-ety of a warm hearted, goiieron---, chivahous, well-led man ol the world, than in ihe society of at. v of that class of aIioiu the dencou 1 ! have mentioned is a type. I know they do, and they cannot help it. t here is more of that w hich belongs to i a first class Christi; n character in the ' former thnn in the Litter, u ml if 1 were ! called upon to test the two men by com manding them to sell what Ihey have and give to the poor, I should be disappointed were the deacon to behave the best. A character which religion does not ftuotify doef not soften, enlarge, beautify, and enrich is not penelilted by religion-or, rather, ha not po'sqed itself of religion. God loves that which in beaulilul and at- j tractive in character, just as much as wo do, and it makes no difference where he , sees it. He does not dislike the amii hie traits of a sinner because he is a sinner., nor does he admire those traits of it Chris-; lian which we feel to ho contemptible.nnd ; simply becaii'O they belong to a Christian, j A Christian sucked dry of his humanity is ns juieeless nnd us flavorless as a sucked orange, anl I believe God regards him in i tho same light that we do. lie will save! such 1 doubt not, for their faith ; and, in thecoming woild, Ihey will learn what: they do not know here; but the question whether they nre ns well worth iaving as , some of their neighbors may, 1 think, he legitimately entertained. In saying thi, I mean to be neither light nor irreverent. I mean simply to indicate tint some men nre worth a great deal more to themselves and lo their fellows than others. Tun- Till' TlTCOMB.

The r'nica, a German paper, pubhbhod in Pittsburg, says that when Ihe news of Cameron's appointment as Minibter reached Kussis, the Emperor immediately collected his plates, jewels nnd other valuables, which he securely locked up in an underground arcb built for the purpose. 3r3axe, tbo poet, siys, that Vermont is ftmom for four staples, "men, women, maple sugar and horses," and that "the fi-st are strong, the last are fleet, the sec ond tnJ third ire exceedingly sweet, and all are nncouiniocly hard to beat." OUR DAUGHTERS. The greatest danger to rur daughters in the present time is the neglect of domes tic education. Not only to themselves, but I j husbands, families nnd tho commu nity at large, does the evil extend. Hy Cur the greatest amount of happiness in civil ized li fa is found in demeuic relations, and most of those depend on the domestic culture ami habits of the wife and mother. Let our diiutrhtei8 he intellectually edu cated ns highly us possible ; let their mor ul and social natuio receive the highest graces of v gor and refinement; but along with these, let Ihe domestic virtues find a prominent place. Wo cannot say much nbout our daugh ters being hereafter wives nnd mother.', but wo ought to think much of it, and give the thought prominence, for thwir education. Good wives they cannot be, nt least lor men nf intelligence, without culs tore; go d mothers thny certainly cannot bo without it ; aril more than this, they cannot ho such wives as men t.eed unless they are good housekeepers, without a Ihoiough nnd practical training to that end. Our daughters should be practically taught to hake, wash, sweep, cook, set ta ble and do everything appertaining to the order, neatness, economy and happiness of the household.

I, ar Fixcndi : -I t my Pp" to let you know tint wo havo moved still further into Dixie, nnd ant now 13 miles east of Win chester. Hut I will go back khiI rotor to somoofthe past. On l'ridiy tho 2lst of March. 1802, we wero ordered out ns pick ets. About sundown wo were attacked by Ashby's cavalry tmd driven bxck, About tho fanio time 'ho rebels common cod cannonading us, when two regiments, were ordered to make a churgo, which they did, bravely driving the enemy b?ck about a mile; at the some, time our regi ment (the 84th) w is ordered to gunrd our battel i is. About daik both si-ios stopped, nnd nil was quiet till morning. It being .Sabbath morning, we dared not commenco, so our boys had to wait until about V A. M., when the bull was opened by tho rebels commencing to cannonado us, rvhioh thov continued until 3 P. M. The infantrv' began the charge, and from that until dark the bittle was very hotly contested on both aides. About this time. the rebels gave way nnd were soon scat. Uered in evorv direction. Company I was j relieved at j o'clock in the morning to I join our regiment on the Slrasburg turn j pike, but when we got there we could not i find our regiment, so we went lack to our old camp and got our dinners. W e after wards went out to the battle field, but did not roach it in time lo go into the engage ment, and wore ordered to gather up tho killed and wounded. This was nn awful sigh',. Some were shot through their legs, arms, shoulders, bowels, 4 o., and all cry ,ng for help, and some just breathing their last. The hardest part of the fight was just before we reached ihe ground. Three of our company wore in tho fight, Thomas Gouldsberrv, Joseph Kepetu and Philip McCracken". Had we found our regiment we would have been all in it, and if we had there would have been some of us laid out cold, as the 84th suffered the severest of uny of the regiments engaged in propor tion to its number, for it is a small regi ment, nnd has as many killed as tho lar- 'gest. There were some eight or ten regu I ments engaged on ou- side, nnd some say 'as high ns fifteen on the side of the rebels, j There are S8 killed and ivouuded in the ,84th. About 20 of theso were shot dead on the field, and two or three have since I died. Hut you will get the official report I in tho papers. There are a large number of Clearfield boys in this regiment I 1 believe I have given you ull the par. ticulars of th's flhl, suvo that Gen. Hanks is still following Jackson, and has driven him nbout 25 miles from Winchester to , wards Staunton, where it w supposed that Jackson ar.d Johnston will give battle. Mm if lenorls me correct liu-y will not 'stand long, for their army is completely demoralized -ivorse used up than ours was nt tho battle of Hull Run. j We have got word that our regiment fe : to bo tilled up, and a new Col Jiml appciu' ted for it, us our Lieutenant ''ulotu-ldo dines taking t be uom.io.nnd. ' ' iSa.'-f'o 2iW. Hon. Judge Barrett paid us a visit'ye-tctdav. llo is appointed by Gov. Curt in to take charge of the bodies of the killed, and to see that the wounded 4ii-o properly caved for. Tho wounded aro at Winchester, in caio cf the Surgeons. Ti'e are told that we will rcmnia at this place until our regiment is recruited up to its full standard ol one thousand and tcu men, ran!: nnd tile. I It is not likely that we will get iuto au olhor fight soon, unless the enemy makes ! the attack, for they are driven off so far 1 that wo can't get to them, and our army ! is so large that there wauld no! be more than a shot apiece if we should reach them. We are also told that Gon. Shields I wants to lead our rcuiinent personally, as it has aol a good name, and on-s that will not soon be forgotten. Sunday the 23d March, 1MV2, will b.i a day long to be re membered in thi. region. Tne marks ol tb.. Imllats in the trees will ba visible for i fifty cnrs to come, for tho oannou Mh J r . i i i . At' . cut the whole lops nnu iir.ins on many i thnn; and I saw un instance where a can non hall had passed entirely through n white oiik tree about 2 feet thick. Ami a here the infantry tired the thickest from our side, and where tho rebels lay tho thickest, the small trees nnd grubs nre just riddled with musket bullets about ns high ns a man's head. Where the 8 lib fited it can be seen tbut it took the best aim o' nny of tho regiments I saw suppling! 4 inches thick that were cut clean off, nnd others split for two teed. On this spot the rebels lay just like stuck hogs wallow ing in their blood. SI of them werefouwi on a tiifce of cround uliout 4 rods wide. and 30 rods lonij. Our men dug a trench ' about 40 feet long. G feet wide, nnd 4 feet I .in.., ;.,i-. u-l.tnl, ilia i-i.tn-la u-ere. ivithered j4ll',, lllll' ,.tl,.,i n.v. . .- - . - p - and buried. There are two more grnros that have a largo number in ; and we havo , been told that Jackson took soma ot the 'dead with him : nnd our ofl'tcers say that I cur nu n found where he burnt a lot ot dead bodies on his flight from Strashtirg ; and the citizens buried about 50 tf them, and our nv n 310 in the three g-avi s; . we can safely sav there we:e from oM 400 of tho rebels killed cn the battle-fifthl and in lite (light ; and so Jackson will nwi belikelv lo como out to meet the Yan. kees soon again, for we :nvo them what Uncle Sam ha' pledged all his boy a firm for . ...
