BE HEAVEN MY STAY.
BT JOHN RAMSAY.
In all my changes here below,
Of transient weal or trying woe,
It may be given my soul to know—
Be Heaven my stay.
When the faint heart would fail for fear,
No human eye to pity near,
No hand to wipe the bitter tear—
Be Heaven my stay.
When I must bear the worldling's scorn,
Derided for my lot forlorn,
E'en of itself but hardly borne—
Be Heaven my stay.
When of the friends whom once I knew,
Around me I can find but few,
And doubts arise if these be true—
Be Heaven my stay-
When days ot health and youth are flown,
My path with faded roses strown,
And thorns are all I find my own-
Be Heaven my stay.
When full of tossings on my bed,
I cannot rest my weary head,
Scared with dim visions of the dead—
Be Heaven my stay.
When sorely chastened for my sins,
And pleasure ends while grief begins,
Aud agony no guerdon wins—
Be Heaven my stay.
When all in vain I strive to brave
The gloom of Joi dan's swelling wave,
And hand of mortal cannot save—
Be Heaven my stay.
When prayer no longer will prevail,
When praise sinks to a trembliug wail,
When faith itself begins to fail—
Be Heaven my stay.
Trials and Comforts.
We all have trials to bear in this, our
pilgrimage. What a train of evils follow
ed the entrance of "Sin into the world and
death by sin ' and all our woes. Notwith
standing the curse pronounced upon us by
reason of sin, we have many comforts and
blessings. We must not however look for
continual sunshine. Clouds will often in
tercept the rays of the sun and when we
are least expecting it, sometimes a storm
will arise. Our trials are varied according
as God may be pleased to order them, and
as shall be for liis own glory and our good,
if we put our trust in Him. Some are
blessed with health, while others are lee
ble and sickly. Some have an abundance
of this world's goods and more than heart
can wish for, while others are struggling
with poverty and want. We see those who
have kind and pleasant companions for life,
while others have the reverse. Some have
children who are comforts to themselves,
and blessings to society, while others have
children who are a cause of continual
anxiety. We see those who have many
friends and relatives to comfort them and
whose society they can enjoy, while others
are almost alone in the world, and feel as
if they would have no one to smooth their
dying pillow. Some persons possess natu
rully a happy temper of mind, while others
are desponding and gloomy. But we sel
dom, I might say never, see all those bles
sings concentrated in one individual; if
tbev have comforts they have trials also—
our highest enjoyments are mingled with
pain. Strong and devoted attachment to
our friends, make the trial of separation
greater when called to part with them.
Some persons appear to have more than
their share of sorrow, but we see those who
are thus afflicted among the truly happy—
"For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom He receiv
ed."
A Salutary Thought. —\Y hen I was a
young mou there lived in our neighborhood
a farmer who was usually repi rted to be a
very liberal man, uncommonly upright in
all his dealings. When he had any of the
produce of his farm te dispose of, he made
an invariable rule to give good measure—
rather more than was required of him.
Une of bis friends observed hiui frequent
ly doing so, questioned him as to why he
did it; be told him he gave too much, and
told him it would be to his advantage.
Now, dear reader, mark the answer of this'
excellent man :
''God has permitted me but one journey
through the world, and when I am gone I
cannot return to rectify mistakes."
Think of this. There is but one jour
ney through life.
An Old Sermon. —Skeleton of a ser
mon preached by Rev. Win. IJiscox, in
Newport, R. 1., August 8, 1792, from
Eccles. 1, XII.
The time of youth is the best'time.
1. For good impressions.
2. For strong resolutions.
3. For fixed affections.
4. For closest applications.
5. For diligent observations.
Not to remember God in youth is :
1. To slight His invitations.
2. To disregard His legislations.
3. To disbelieve His implications,
4. To reject His operations.
Virtues confessed by our foes and vices
acknowledged by our friends are probably
real.
He that falls into sin is a man; he that
grieves at it is a saint; he that boasts of it
is a devil.

For the Educational Column.
The Preacher*and the Teacher.
Martin Luther said if he would quit
preaching his first employment would be
teaching boys.
Martin Luther was a strong, energetic
character, and doubtless was in his proper
position as a preacher and reformer; ami as
such had a strong feeling of the relation
between his mission as a preacher and that
of a true spirited teacber. With him the
connection was close; his object in either
case being the good of immortal beings.
Man is born into the world the most
helpless of all the animal creation, and if
left to himself must soon perish, as he is )
unable to attend to his smallest wants.
And yet, though he is thus helpless, he is
endowed with capacities which, when prop I
erly developed, make him infinitely supe
rior to all the other animal creation. But
the faculties will not of themselves grow
and strengthen into this superior being: '
If neglected they seldom raise hira much
; above the brute creation : Hence to bring |
him to his proper place in the scale of ex
istence, he must not be left to neglect, must !
be cared for.
Besides those whom nature has placed
over him, the minister and teacher have
each his part to perform. Now the minis
ter, as I conceive it, though he may, and
does, in some measure, directly on the I
hearts and minds of children, must operate j
principally through the parents , while the '
teacher may do the same; and also, as he
is mors immediately in contact with their
minds and hearts, can bring his influence
i to bear more directly upon them. Thus
while the minister must wait till they are
I somewhat developed before he can instruct
them from the pulpit, the treacber has the
first chance at their infant minds.
Now if they work together this is all
the better. Hence I think it would be j
proper for ministers to visit school occasion- ;
ally, and learn the ways and conduct of <
teachers and pupils. They might both
i teach and learn by such occasional visits.
G.
OUR SCHOOLHOUSE.
The site of sites a sight to see,
Is that where our school house stands.
A shrubless slope without a tree
Or bloom to win the wandering bee,
A spot as desert you may not see
This side of Sahara's sands.
It stands where barren rocks outcrop
The rugged and flinty soil.
In vain the genial sun and shower,
j And summer dews essay their power
To call f rom that arid waste a flower:
It mocks their kindly toil.
j Unchecked by the shadow of a bough,
The torrid sunbeams fall
Upon the play-ground's swardsless beat;
And there the winds of winter meet
; And whirl the blinding snow and sleet
With unrelenting brawl.
Here Dearth and Negligence combined
Keep Beauty ever at bay;
And fearing their purpose should not suc
ceed
| They have called on Avarice and Greed
; To guard the place with jealous heed
; Lest Progress come that way.
I . ( \o
| The school-house! how shall pen describe
Its architectural grace ;
Its order is unsettled quite,
lonic, Doric, Composite,
Or, as some hold it, "Wigwauiite
I Derived from Indian race.
! The blue-wasp builds her mud-wall'd cell
Against its wainscot browu ;
The spider weaves her gauzy snare
About its ceiling low and bare;
And timid mice steal slily where
A chance crumb may be found.
The roof-moss groweth green the while
Aud weather-stained the walls;
The sportive breeze glides in and out
Through shattered panes with lawless rout,
I Whisking the text book leaves about
| In gusty swells and falls.
Thus pass the Summer months away,
I he school house standeth lorn.
But now the harvest's golden yield
Is gathered from orchard and from field,
And \\ inter stern his sceptre wields
\\ here grew the tasseled corn.
The boys and girls released from toil
Are off to school a^ain,
Their hearts are light, their heads are clear,
For 'tis their harvest time of year;
They go to glean with right good cheer
Thought's richly ripened grain.
Is there a temple fitly reared
To receive that youthful band?
Nought but a hovel dark and drear;
Silks and tobacco have got so dear,
And taxes are so high this year,
So let the old school-house stand.

Truthfulness —that is, the fact of speak
ing the truth intentionally and even to the
injury of self—is less a branch than a blos
som of man's moral strength of character.
In children especially it is a noble trait.
Good men baye the fewest fears.

Two U. S. Marshals Waylaid!
A Well Known Citizen of Juniata Mur
dered.
An extra of the Oskaloosa (Iowa) Her
ald, dated the 3d ult., gives the following
account of the murder of two U. S. Mar
shals by the disloyal men of that vicinity.
One of the victims, Captain John L. Ba
shore, was a son of Mr. Samuel Bashore,
reaiding about three miles north of Me
chanicsburg, Pa., and was at one time a
student of Cumberland Valley Institute.
Captain Basbore removed to lowa eight or
nine years since, and settled in Centreville,
Appamoose county, in the southern part of |
the State, where he was engaged in a mer
cantile business at the outbreak of the re
bellion. Entering the service as Ist Lieut, j
in the 6th lowa cavalry, he was shortly after- ;
ward promoted to a captaincy, and served
j his country with fidelity and honor to him- !
self for three years. After having faced |
death in all forms on the battle field, con
fronting the open foes of the Government, j
he was shot down in cold blood by the j
wretches who aid the rebellion secretly, by
! all the means in their power.
Captain Bashore was a young man of ex
cellent business qualifications and eminent
social qualities. He has a large number
ol friends and relations in this region,
among the Bashore and Seiber families.
The following is the Herald's account ol
the tragic affair:
On Saturday, October Ist, in Sugar Cieek
township, Poweshiek county, Deputy Mar
; shals J. RI. Woodruff of Kuoxville and J.
L. Bashore of Centreville, were waylaid
and in cold blood murdered. The partic
ulars of this dastardly affair as we get them
are as follows :
Several drafted men of Sugar Creek
having failed to report at the Provost Mar
shal's office, deputies Woodruff and Bashore
were sent to inquire the reason, or some
thing to that effect. On going to the
neighborhood they met Mike Gleason, and I
after some conversation, leading them to
believe he was all right, they disclosed
their business, and he offered to assist t.heni
in finding the men. The marshals made
aD arrangement for hira to go with them,
alter they had fed their horses and obtain- '
cd some refreshment for themselves. But
while the marshals were feeding, Gleason
went to Miller's saw mill, where the Cop
perheads had met to drili as was their cus
tom on Saturday. The military company
soon dispersed. After feeding, Woodruff
and Bashore started out to huut the draft
ed men. As they were passing along the
road they were suddenly fired upon by a :
squad of men concealed in the bushes, j
Woodruff was instantly killed, having two
balls through his head and a number in his
body. Bashore was but slightly wounded.
He jumped out of the buggy but was im
mediately surrounded by the Copperheads
and several guns were leveled at him, and
among them was Gleason, who had betrayed
the marshals. MT. B. appealed to them to j
spare his life. He told them that they
were strangers to him, that he had nothing
against them, was simply discharging his
duty as an officer and begged them not to
kill him. At this point he was shot in the
back, the ball entering near the kidneys.
Bashore then shot Gleason, breaking his
leg Bashore fell, whether Ire was shot
again or not does not appear. But after
he was down, Gleason, who was not so bad
ly wounded but that he could walk, came
up to him and struck him a terrible blow
on the head with the but of the gun, in- ;
flicting a frightful wound and breaking the
gun. By this time the Copperheads had '
left, thinking doubtless they had succeeded
in killing both officers. A half an hour
later a neighbor who heard the firing came
that way, and the wounded men were car- ;
ried off and Gleason placed under arrest.
Bashore lived lour or five hours and told
all the particulars of the assassination to
James S. Cravens, at whose house he died,
and others. John Fleener, Samuel Fleen- ;
er and Perry McFarland, supposed to be
the principals in this cold blooded crime,
have escaped and are still at large. Hon.
J. B. Grinnel has offered a reward of §00
for their arrest and conviction.
On Sunday, three or four hundred citi- ;
zens were collected at Cravens. The mur- ;
dered uien, both of whom had been sol
diers, Woodruff of the 3d cavalry, Ba
shore of the 6th, were lying with their
ghastly wounds pleading for justice and re
venge. It was with difficulty the exasper- ;
ated crowd were restrained from stringing i
up Gleason without judge or jury. Our <
informant left the scene at 4 o'clock Sun- | |
day afternoon, when parties were scouring '
the neighborhood lor the Fleeners and oth- j '
ers, and arrangements were made for bring- j <
ing the bodies of the slain and the prison- i
ers to Oskaloosa. Sugar Creek is one of i
the hardest and most notorious copperhead (
holes in the State. The Fleeners are t
brothers-in-law to Myers, who killed Alio-! <
way last autumn, and they were also impli
cated in that horrid murder There can
be little if any doubt that these assassina
tions are in accordance with the plan al
ready adopted and sworn to by the secret
order of copperheads in lowa. They have
sworn that no officer who goes out even to
notify them of the draft, shall return alive.
The time, if it ever existed for dealing
leniently with such men as these, has past.
The officers of the law should at once de
termine to visit swift and terrible punish
, ment on those who resist tneir authority.
An Ossified Man-
There is a man residing in Portage ooun-
I ty, Ohio, who, since his fifteenth year has
been almost entirely ossified. At that age
he injured his knee by a fall from his horse.
The injury caused ossification, which im
mediately set in, and in the course of fif
teen years bad completed its terrible work.
He can only move two ot his fingers and
, two of bis toes. He has not opened his
jaws for more than thirty years, yet still
j manages to talk with ease. His food is
I placed within his lips, and without inasti
j cation is conveyed to his stomach, lie
lies in the same position during an entire
; day, only changing his position once in
; twenty-four hours. His skin fortunately
j retains its normal condition. lie has been
j blind for thirty years, aud is compelled to
draw upon his memory lor mental exercise.
; This faculty has become exceedingly teua
cious. lie remembers the most minute and
trifling incident or circumstance; has the
entire past, every lact and event in his
experience, before him, piled up like strata,
and summons at will, or as occasion re
quires, occurrences which have faded from
I the minds of his friends. His recollection
|of localities is wonderful. Places that he
had visited years ago, before struck with
blindnes, he can now identify as he rides
along, so vivid a recollection has he of the
relative position of things, as bridges, riv
ers, Ac. He is very expert at mathemeti
cal calculations, and can, with great readi
ness, give, for example, the number of
square inches in an erea the number of
whose square feet or rods is given hiui.
Wliat a Toad did for a Soldier.
We have often written in behalf of toads;
we are glad to see them hopping arouud
our garden in large numbers, and have
paid boys for bringing them in there in
baskets, by the hundred, as insect des
troyers. A friend counected with the
United States Sanitary Commission relates
for the American Agriculturist, the follow,
ing incident which he witnessed, that ex
hibits Mr. or Mrs. Toad in a new character:
A number of wounded from the battle of
Petersburg were lying in a hospital tent,
among whom was a negro whose leg had
been taken off. He was on a mattress on
the ground, and the weather being hot, the
(Tressed stump of his leg was exposed, and
a swarm of flies were settling upon it.
Presently a large toad hopped into the tent,
and taking his station near the edge of the
bed began "gobbling" up the blue bottles
in "double quick." The moment one
alighted within six inches of the spot, he
would square himself for the attack, his
eyes twinkling with excitement, and then
with a flash of his tongue and a smack of
his mouth, the unlucky insect would dis
appear. The boy was asleep when this
commenced, but soon awoke, and was at
first frightened at the "ugly toad" so near
him; but our friend bade him be quiet,
and pointed out the service the creature
was rendering, when the negro and all
present voted him a member of the Com
mission, with many thanks, and he and
his kindred were at once in high favor.
—An extraordinary affair lately occurred
in the town of Orel, in Russia, A great
local land owner had a large sum (forty
three thousand silver roubles) to receive
through the police office of that town On
applying for the amount he was told that
the money could not be handed over to him
unless he presented the office with five
thousand silver roubles. He refused, and
immediately reported the case to St. Pe
tersburg, and the money was paid over to
him. But on the evening of the same
day, as he was quietly smoking in his study,
a loud ring was heard at the bell The
servant ou opening the door, was instantly
pinioned, and tour men, their faces covered
with black crape, rushed iuto the room and
told him he must hand over his forty three
thousand roubles. With the greatest cool
ness he went over to his strong box, opened
it, seized a revolver which was laid on the
top shelf, and shot two of' the robbers dead,
aud the other two immediately taking to
their heels. On the crape being removed
from the faces of the dead men they were ■
recognized as the head of the police and
his secretary.
Important Fact —A gentleman who has
repeatedly suffered from the bite of ven
omouH reptiles, while wandering through !
the ruins of Palenque in Chiapas, says he
was in the habit of enlarging the wound
with a lancet, introducing some butter of
antimony , applying a ligature above the
wouud, and taking ten drops of ammonia
in water every fifteen minutes. The lives
of himself and servant were repeatedly
saved in this way, while four native atten
dants, not using these precautions perished.
New Series—Volume IX. No. 2.
jMBIfeff&YG&At,
Purifying Sorghum Sugar. —The fol
} lowing information, just received from Mr.
Riley Root, of Galesburg, 111., patentee of
a new process for clarifying Chinese and
i other cane juices, may be of much use to
those engaged in raising :
" I would add, in relation to sugar mak
ihg, that after the syrup has granulated,
j the remaining (ungranulaUble) portion of
syrup is drawn off. But with our cane at
• the north the mucilage is so stiff and ad
hesive that assistance by means of a press
| has been found beneficial. After the first
pressing is performed, the follower can be
: removed, and a little clear cold water stir
red into the sugar, and press again. This
process can be performed several timds,
and at each successive time the sugar be
comes whiter, with a slight diminution of
its amount; but each successive draining
becomes a more perfect article of golden
syrup, so that what is lost in one is gnined
in the other."
To Keep Tires on Wheels. —Hear what
a practical man says on this subject: " I
ironed a wagon some years ago for my own
use, and before putting on the tires I filled
the felloes with linseed oil; and the tires
have worn out aud were never loose. I
ironed a buggy for my own use seven years
airo, and the tires are as tight now as when
| thej' were put on.
My method of filling the felloes with oil
is as follows : I use a long cast iron oil
heater, made for the purpose; the oil is
brought to a boiling heat, the wheel is
placed on a stick so as to hang in the oil
each felly an hour for a common sized fel
ly. The timber should be dry, as wet tim
ber will not take oil. Care should be ta
ken that the oil be not made hotter than
boiling heat, in order that the timber be
not burnt. Timber filled with oil is not
susceptible to water and is much more du
j rablc. I was amused some years ago, when
I told a blacksmith how to keep tires tight
on wheels, at his telling me it was a profit
able business to tighten tires, and the wa
gon maker will say it is profitable to make
and repair wheels—but what will the far
mer, who supports the wheelwright and
smith, say ?"
Salt and Charcoal for Stock. —Farmers
who raise stock should give them plenty of
charcoal to eat and freely of salt, as both
charcoal and salt improve cattle and make
them in good condition. Salt will act on
the blood. Charcoal strengthens and heals
the mucous membrane throughout the ali
mentary canal, and increases the power of
the digestive organs, healing any unheal
thy condition existing there. It prevents
worms generating in the stomach, &c., and
absorbs the putrescent gases. The use of
salt and the free use ol charcoal will con
tribute to protect cattle from epidemics.
