In :i swit t rural valley, nestled in the hills of Massachusetts, stands a pleasant village, with picturesque mill pond and -factory. Several summers ago this hamlet was the temporary ! abode of two young men, who were evidently traveling artists, as their j chief occupation seemed to consist of ' sketching the scenery of the neighbor ; hood, which was celebrated for its 1 beauty. 'J heir arrival had created some stir among the villagers, for with out a h;t ot pretension, both voting men had a certain dignity of manner that made them loi-k up to, and many a pretty factory girl, as she tripped to her work, east hack it look over her . si. ulder. if she met either of the hand some strangers. Though the society of the village was unusually intelligent, and the le iiiah s were remarkable for their love lines-., there was one tamed beyond all the lvst, in both mind and person, sweet iviith Mather She was an or phan, without sister or brother and lived with an aired aunt, whom she chiefly supported b\ her labor in the factory Iviith was popular with ev ery one. she was s<> gentle, considerate and kind leal even those who at first envied -.trued to love her. The younges the two artists, whom we . shall naiiit Lovell, soon became inte rested in this sweet creature tit least ii looks, tones, and constant socking of i her presence were any pi oof, he was i thus interested. One day him and his friend had clambered up some rocks on the steep ; hillside, from which the village was overlooked, and as they sat there the | bell of the factory rang and the green ; was immediately covered with girls i employed in it, wending their way : thither after dinner. Among them it was easy to recognize the light and ' graceful form of the factory fa : rv, the j beautiful Edith. 'ls she not beautiful! Where can i you show me another person so sylph like?' said Lovell, with undisguised : , enthusiasm, as Edith appeared in view. | His companion made no reply, he was lost in his own meditations, but | suddenly remarked : >' j '1 think that it is about time we I , leave this village.' 'Why?' asked Lovell, in a tone of | surprise. 1 Because, if we do not yon will have that girl in love with you. Your ad ■ miration is evident to alt" her friends, and you are too honorable to hold oul £ ! hopes you never intend to tultil 1' r- 4 Hold out hopes I never intend to T : fulfill?' c 4 Yes—you don't think of marrying pack up your trunk and let us be oil : to morrow.' e-; Lovell shook his head. 4 I am, perhaps a more romantic man • than you are, Harry,' lie said, ' but 1 II have some common sense in me, and 1 >d think I have brought it to bear upon this question. Wo have now been here one month, in which time I have be come pretty well acquainted with j Edith. I left town—we both loft it— heartily sick of frivolities; and on my part, with the firm opinion that I know | no woman in our set there whom 1 would be willing to make my wife.— I I he city girls are too frivolous, so tond j of parties, so eager for wealthy nili : ances, and really so ignorant of house ; hold affairs that a man of tnv taste to ; marry one of them would be foil v. I jam not fond of gay life—l think it wastes too much precious time; and I . want, therefore, a wife who will be do mestic. and not involve me in a round of balls and other entertainments. I do not wish to be a hermit, a few friends are a great blessing, and I shall always he glad to gather around me a small circle of the right kind, but pro miscuous fashionable visiting 1 detest. ! ; Now I think 1 have found just the partner I require, in Miss Mather She j ; is well iniormed, agreeable, simple in i her tastes, has sound sense, and with all possesses a large share of personal beauty and, if 1 mistake not, the pow er of loving very deeply. If I marry her and take her to the city, her intu itive tact—and she has this to a re : markabledegree—will soon supply any ; deficiency in mariner In short, Ido m>t know where I could make a better ! choice.' 4 How? when she possesses no ae- j eomplishments ?' ' She can sing with untaught grace, ; and as lor jabbering French, I don't 1 know how that would make her bet- j ter. Site would soon learn with her ' quick parts. Besides I care more to have a wife usefully informed than to j : have one possessing only superficial accomplishments?' But her family! Recollect who i your grandfather was.' i 'And who was hoi's? a worthy di -1 vine. poor. I grant, but estimable.— : Besides I am above the cant you talk of. 1 would care little whether they were of royal blood or peasant extrac tion. I believe with Burns, • that • i worth makes the man,' and the only 1 , degradation 1 acknowledge is that of, crime.' , 4 W ell if you are resolved on it, 1 | know enough of your obstinacy to say ; no more. But, faith! Lovell, it you I had a guardian, and 1 was he, 1 would i take you from this plaee to morrow, j 'i ou d certainly thank me for it when you recover your lost senses, i The conversation hero ceased, and directly the two friends retiaced their : steps to the village. ; The next morning, bright and early ' j Lovcli s companion came down stairs I attired for a journey. • I am going back to town,' he said ; : . • tired of ruralizing. The fit for that is over, and 1 am afraid if I stay here ; 1 shall be as foolish as you.' i So the two parted, for Lovell re ■ niained behind, and in less than a week ; it was known everywhere in the vil lage that Lovell and Edith Mather i were engaged to be married ' Ifyou can content yourself with the precarious life of a poor artist,' he said, > when lie told his affection, ' we may be i happy.' Edith answered with a look of her . bright eyes, so tender, confiding and j eloquent that Lovell adored her from i that moment more than ever. In a fortnight they were married, I when arriving at Philadelphia, the , carriage drove up to a handsome resi lience on \\ alnut street. Shewasdaz j zlcd by the glare of light that burst ; from the windows. i ' This is the place,' said Lovell, as , | sitting his wife to alight, and almost | carrying her into th 6 superb parlor ■ ; with its Saxony carpets, rosewood lur , riiture, costly curtains and gilded mir [ rors reaching from ceiling to floor. | *\\ hose house is this ? Have you ' i relations living thus?' said Edith, great - | ly surprised. , i 'lt was my house, it is now yours,' t ■ auid her husband. 1 1* am not a poor artist, but a man rich in worldly goods, ) yet richest of all in-you.' Several years have passed since then, j j and lviith has fulfilled all her husband 1 foretold of her. She has made the best ! of wives, and is one of the most bril - i liant ornaments of the circle she moves - in. Lovell's friend married a silly i fashionable woman, and no greater , j contrast in happiness exists than bo ! tween these two former friends, i A handsome rural cottage, rilled with I all tlie appliances of luxury, has been x erected in Edith's native village, and t ! thither every summer she and her hus r i band repair to visit her aged aunt, who - 1 has been installed mistress of this pret ty retreat. : !

It is somewhat'-surprising to see the extraordinary manner in which the military achievements and private character of Stonewall Jackson are eulogized in many quarters, now that the war is closed, and when there is no good reason for such unwarranta ble puffery. The Richmond Whig, for instance, revived and edited by men who say they took 110 part in the re bellion, on the strength of which one of them claims a seat in Congress, has an article in which it says that 44 one alter another the northern generals fled defeated before the unconquerable Jackson." A moro preposterous as- ; scrtion could not he made in reference to the events of the late war, and as we often meet such exaggerated praise of this rebel leader, it may be as well to examine into the matter for a mo ment. There is no event in Jackson's ca reer moro memorable than the tirSt battle of Winchester, in which the Union forces, commanded by General Shields, held possession of the town, and were attacked furiously by Jack- I .on, who was 011 one of his •• rainpag j ing" expeditions. Shields was too sick to appear in the field, hut his army I was managed with so much skill that Jackson was utterly routed, and fled i in confusion southward through the J valley, pursued by our troops. Gen- I oral Banks, who was the commander of that department, happened at the j time to be on his way back to Win j Chester on his return from a visit to Washington, but hearing of the battle ' and the illness of Shields, he hastened forward, just as Sheridan subsequently ; did against JSarly, and reached the front in time to assume command of tlio pursuing column. That retreat was a fearful one for Jackson. Ilis corps ' was demoralized, his wounded were ! left by the roadside, his trains ahan ] dotied, arid the whole valley was filled ; I with his straggling soldiers. Banks j made a large number of prisoners. It is one of the chief delights of cop-; | perhead and rebel writers to dwell on '■ i the subsequent retreat of Banks before ! I Jack.-on as excessively amusing, any defeat of the Union forces being such : . a sweet morsel for such palates But this tremendous rout of Jackson by j Shields and Banks is always ingenious -Ily left out of sight. Lee, whose great military genius was really at the bot i torn of all of Jackson's successes, saw that this disaster in the valley must be repaired, and when his spies informed i him that Banks had been weakened by ; the sending away of a large part of bis forces to other service, he reconstruct j ed Jackson's corps and reinforced it heavily, sending him hack upon Banks , with men enough to outnumber him three or four to one. lie expected Jackson to surround and capture Banks' • small command, and this calculation, shrewdly planned, ought, in any ordi nary eventualities, to have succeeded. ! But Jackson had all the rashness as well as all the bravery of Prince Ku . pert. lie was in such haste to retrieve liis fame that ho made the arrange ments in a heels over-head sort of a | way. and Banks managed to escape the trap. The glory of that campaign, j such as it was, belongs to Lee, not to Jackson. lie gave the latter men enough to do all and more than all lie asked of him, aud he gave full and elaborate instructions, which, if prop erly carried out, would have enabled Jackson to capture Banks and all his forces. The failure was complete, and Gen ; oral Banks, instead of deserving ridi ' cule for that retreat, certainly merits praise for the ability he displayed in saving his small command from so great a danger. Under such circum stances we have always regarded this as one of the most, creditable occurren ces of the war. General Leo surely could have felt nothing but chagrin over the disastrous failure of a plan which he had so well arranged. So far, therefore, as the campaign in the ' valley against Banks was concerned, Jackson achieved none of the great things which his copperhead and rebel ' eulogists are so fond of talking about. " If Banks retreated before Jackson in the second advance of the latter, it was no more than Jackson himself had done just previously; and on his re turn from this very expedition his corps was compelled to make haste I away from every one of our detach ments it met. Neither Shields nor Fremont fled before him on that occa sion, hut the case was just tho other wav. Jackson fought only when ho couid not avoid it, he gained no lau rels when lie did fight, and lie mado ' the best of his way back to Richmond \ as fast as his men could travel. , The truth of history requires that c we should say this much, to prevent - the exaltation of this rebel chieftain 1 into a model of military grandeur, to e which he never attained. Ho had 110 J real skill as a strategist, and whenever 1 he urid 4 -rt !> to manoeuvre- for him sell Vol. LVI. No. 22. hie failure was complete. The unfor tunate neglect or refusal of Fremont to make a junction with the other Union forces which had been sent against Jackson alone enabled the lat ter to escape, and saved him from another Winchester rout. He did net make the opening through which he escaped, and therefore the attempt to | make that escape a proof of his milita ry skill is a simple deception. That opening was made for him by the pet' ty personal jealousy of Union com manders, and he would have been shortsighted indeed not to avail him self of it. Lougstreet, Early and the two Hills were all as Jackson when act ing under the eye of Lee in battle, and failed just as miserably when left to act for themselves. The plans upon which these men moved were those of I Lee. J heir instructions were full and detailed. J heir forces were never in adequate, and the plan ol the army l>y j which they profited, and especially Jackson, was attributable to no other man than Lee. Jackson was in nowiso i superior to Hancock for bravery, dash, :or success. Indeed, Hancock's cele brated charge at Spottsylvania is not ; equaled by any of Jackson's acbieve | merits, ami as compared with Sheridan, the rebel hero is not worth considering at all. Ihe excellence of his private character is undeniable, and wo ad mire his bravery. But his military greatness is factitious. AQ-JRICTXLTTXIR. Crop Intelligence. The Painesville, Ohio, Telegraph says that the wheat crops on the ridges ' n that county (Lake") at this season of the year never looked finer than now. The Erie, Pa., Dispatch, says the same thing in that region. 'the crops in Wayne county, West j '\ irginia, are represented as promising | well. Peaches will be rather scarce, : though ol apples there will be a fair crop. j In Meigs county, Ohio, the wheat i crop is represented to be so bad that . it will prove almost an entire failure. . i lie farmers aro plowing up the wheat fields, and either sowing them with | oats or planting corn. Meigs is not much of a lruit growing county, and j but little fruit is expected. ; I n the neighborhood of Portsmouth, Ohio, the peach crop will prove a fail ure. Ihe trees blossomed out in all their beauty, but a cold storm camo upon tl o blossoms, injuring them be yond hope of even a moderate crop. CROC PROSPECTS IN WISCONSON. I lie Richland county Observer, says prospects in that section for a largo crop of winter wheat are unfavorable, considerable of it being winter killed. Most of our farmers have got in their spring wheat. The weather is very dry, and warm rain is much needed to bring forward vegetation. Winter wheat in 1 ioo county, except i in some isolated cases, is pretty much a failure. A good many farmers are ! sowing their fields over with spring wheat. The Waushara Argus reports the j farmers in that section- much disap pointed at the appearance of winter wheat. Many fields are a total failure. The Sheboygan Times says, consid erable wheat has been sown in this county during the past week. Though •' late compared with other seasons, it will undoubtedly come forward more i i rapidily than it has often done when i | sowed in March. Winter wheat, wo > learn, is badly injured from the absence - of snow during the first half of tho > j winter. The Green Lake Spectator says a very large breadth of winter wheat 1 was sown in that county last fall, but 1 nearly every piece had been so badly [ winter killed as to be ruined, and the land is being resown with spring j wheat. 1 NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA. The fruit prospects in South Jersey ' arc said by the Hammontown Hopub i lican to be good, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary by "croakers and scientific gentlemen." Strawber * ries promise well, and if the weather 3 should continue warm, and genial, a large crop ot pears, blackberries, and r raspberries, and a fair supply of peach es may bo expected. , The Berks county, Pa , Journal says: Wo learn from our farmer friends, that 3 the growing fields of wheat and rye 1 are quite promising in nearly every part of Berks county. In some places the stalks are thin from freezing out— but as a whole, there is a promise of a l fair average yield. In somo of our ( neighboring counties the condition of } the wheat crop is far from gratify ing.- r In Mifflin county there will probably f be about half a crop
