THE CORNER. HOW IT HAPPENED THAT THE SE CESSIONISTS DID NOT TAKE LOUISVILLE. . _ The fact that Gen. Buckner did not take the city of Louisville instead ofstopping at Green River, where he invaded Kentucky on the line of the Louisville and N ishville Railroad, is due not to any foresight or force of the United Sta:es authorities or of the Union men of Kentucky, but to the loyal ty, courage and tact of one obscure indi vidual. The Secessionists had laid their plans to appear suddenly in Louisville with a powerful force. They had provid ed for transportation our hundred cars and fifteen locomotives and had eight thousand men, with artillery and camp ' equipage, on hoard. They had secured the services of the telegraph oherators, one of whom forwarded to Louisville a dispatch explaining the detention of trains on the road, and were moving forward at a grand rate. Everything was going well with them, and Louisville, with, perhaps, the exception of a few Secessionists was unsuspecting and unguarded, Gen. Ander son being innocent of any knowledge of the movement, James Guthrie, President of the road, totally in the dark, and Gen. Rousseau lingering in camp on the Indi ana shore. But at a station just beyond Green' River, there was, a warm friend of the Union, and who, comprehending the meaning of the monster train when it ' came up, seized a grow-bar used 'for tak ing up rails to make repairs, and while - the locomotives were being wooded and watered, run across a curve, and in a deep 'narrow cut, wrenched the spikes from four rails. The train came along at good speed, the rails spread, the locomotive plunged into the ground, the cars crashed on the top of it, and it was twenty-four hours before the train emed go ahead,— In the mean time Louisville was saved.— The hero of the occasion had not had time to get out of the cut before the crash came, and was taken, but in the confusion and excitement got away, and is safe. These facts are related by Dr. R. S. Newton, who was in Nashville when the Secession army advanced, was detained there sev eral days. lie subsequently, heard the circumstances narrated there, and was told of them afterward by Gen. Buckner and other officers of the Confederate army. WORK BULLS. All Bulls might be made to do work enough to pay the expense of keeping them, andt they would in every respect be the better for it. If they have any dispo sition to be turbulent, nothing will more effectually "take the conceit" out of them, and render them safe and manageable, ' than constant labor. Mr. E. R. Andrews, of West Roxbury, owns the imported Ayr shire bull Albert, and for sometime past has worked him almost daily. A yoke was made for him, and by means of a sad dle and breeching,, he is harnessed in the thrills of a wagon or cart, and hauls any load ot suitable weight for a horse. In deed the men who 'have him in charge, state that he can pull more than any horse on the farm They take him to the field, and carry from thence to the barn, a ton or more ot grain or hay at once. He is very tractable and easily managed, but is quick in his action, generally walking lest er than a horse commonly does He has been used considerably in hauling man ure out of the barn cellar, and there being considerable of a rise in the ground, he has been shod to assist him getting a f ot hold, and to keep him from getting foot sore. We were assured that he often takes a heavier load up this rise than two stout horses could. He. is said to be '"handy" anywhere. A man saddles him as he would a horse ; gets on his back, .and by lines attached to the ring in his .nose, guides him, and "takes the road" at a smart' pace. In fact he is made "gen erally useful" about the premises,—[Bos !ton Cultivator. A WIFE'S PRAYER We do not assume that we recognize 'that which is truely beautiful in all that makes humanity approach to the Divine; but if there is anything that comes near er to the implorations of Ru,h to Naomi than the subjoined, we have not seen it : "Lord! bless and preserve that dear per son whom thou hast chosen to be my hus band ; let his life be long and blessed, corn fortaWy and holy ; and let me also be come a great comfort and blessing unto Mtn, a sharer in all his sorrows, a meet helper for him in all the accidents and changes In the world : make me amiable fbr ever in his eyes, and for ever dear to him. Unite his heart to me in the dear -est love and holiness, and mine td him in all sweetness, charity, and compliance.— Keep me from all ungentleness all discon tentness, and unreasonableness ofpassion and humor; and make me humble and obedient, useful and observant, that we may delight In each other according to Thy blessed word, and both of us may re joice in Thee having our portion in the love and service of God for ever."
