"In short, .Ive believe the patriotic, sol:

10i•ed to try. If they- are not able .to brush
the traitors in • a fair, stand up fight, one'
pride revolts at the idea of slowly starving
them into submission, or whipping them

-We say, challenge them to meet the pat

quail they are ruined"; if they fight and
are beaten, they mist- give it up; while,
if they beat us, -we ought to do same. Let
us have this matter settled feithwith,• so
that our brave men may quit soldiering.
and return to more profitable vocations.

that we should either chase them aivay or

We submit that; in the light of this ex

Union than the army of Jeff. Davis, the

A Contented Firiner's Wife.
Mrs. Contetit Rogers was a sunny sort

length of the r house, - where the crocuses
and snow-drops hailed the first . genial
days of
,sp ring, and jonquils; pinks, iulets,
lilies, roses and asters lavished their blos
soms all summer long. ". - •
The
.fence was picketed and :painted
white, indicative of the tidy housewife
within. The windows had green blinds,.
.but they were kept joyously- opened; as if

the measure of their happiness. Patience,
Ilope,f Charity, and Temperance
were cherished. feMale names. in .the famil,

she had married Content - Rogers, and set

as I culled quite early at the doo'r. "Poor
old man, yon look tired and hungry," said
,she;," dome in and breakfast, we are just
at the.table. ' . r ,
I found COntent - Rogers at the morning
meal, with a lgoodiy row of children upon
each side of the table, of all ages from two
to twenty. Ile had been- - expecting me
but not Tuite so early in the day. The
whole group was orderly; for the whole
family was six much given to hospitality
that an unexpected gnest was no JioVeity
in the household.
" Pray; hoW do you manage," said I, "to
support so large a family- farming? They
say it is a very poor business."
" Well, my wife' can tell you more al
limut that; than I can. I keep the farm go
ing out of dOors, and she keeps the family
going in doors. I never find any difficul
ty in . keeping the grain ; bins and meat
chests well filled, and the larder well-gtor
ed; and somehow there has always been
enong,hto at and drink ever since We
began housekeeping, and that is twenty
two years agothis spring."
"But who says that farming is a poor,
business?" ;asked Content, with a surpris-
ed look, as ; if she had never taken that
view a- it: .
, ,
"Why one of your townswomen by the
name 'of Grimes, l ' said I. .
_ " Oh, yes, I barb seen her ; she lives up
in the other parish, and haven't much ac-
qintintanee' with her. But I thonghtthe
Grimes were rich and happy. They are
sending their sons to college, and their
daughters go away to school. Perhaps
they feelit_ little above their business,
which always makes things goJiaril."
"But don'tyou find it hardto feed so
many mouths, and to keep so many chi!:
dren looking tidy ?" I asked.
• " Well, I am busy most of the time,"
said Content, smiling, " but I never tho't ,
it hard. • I do not know what we are to'
live for,,ifnot'to make others comfortable
and-happY. I have always found soma,
ny things - to be thankful for, that I never
found time to fret at the little worries of
life. - We !named our first child" Thankful,

When the children were sick I always felt

but they save us a great deal more, s we!
need their services.
-it is a greatomnfort:

"..But - does" farming pay ?".
"That, depends„ upon what yu! o mean
by p‘aying," she continued: ; "It pays us
abundantly. '1 We are,iippy in oar.work,

THE ENCHANTRESS OF THE OLD TO WER.
Arthtti Tenipleton, a young and. noble
knight, was proceeding on a, special mis
sion froint the camp of the returning Cru
saders to the Count Fontenays castle,
some twelve milCs distant. _ lle had been
entrusted by one Baron ROdney, the
noilt
minder of the Christian host,with a later
to the Baron, and ordered , to proceed in.
advance of the army, that the` old Count'
might make preparations for the reception
of his, old coiurade and particular
The young crusader had 'already pro
ceeded several-miles" in advance of the
crusaders, and two-thirdi(of the distance
he had yet to traverse.: He. was near his
native - village; which. even lay beside the
rout lie was called upon to pass, and: it
waS•very naltital that his-thoughts should
revert to the friends and relatives' he ex;-
pected to meet,' afthr 'his two 'years of
strife and - wandering in the holy land. =
He was a brave and most honorable
young knight, . but was not returning
with the honors be . had expressed .the
hope of winning, when, two years before,
he bade adieu to the idol of his- heart,
the gentle'maid Edith Brained]:
" I wonder," he soliloquized, as he rode
along, "bow dear Edith wilLreceive - me,
when she Imows•iliat I am the same pour
knight I was two years ago?" Her stern
old father said I never should have his
daughter unless I returned powerful, and
honored—alas for his resolution I can

service from reaching the village.
what if my suspicion should prove trim—
that the, Baran himself is in love with
Edith?, Guess I'll call up my • faithful
squire and consult him again on the :sill,
ject.' .
He reined in his horse, lobking, behimi
him, and waited till his folloiars rode in
view, their he beckoned kith. to hasten.-
-The man put spurs to his somewhat jailed
steed, and soon reached hiS master's tide,
when the question that had risen, in- Ar
thur's thoughts was only discussed., The
Squire, who was a middle-aged, quiet sort
-of an individual, did- not venture to ex
press any decided ()Pinion, but allewed
the knight to, think and reason as be
pleased.
Suddenly, upon passiiig an old tower, -I
short distance in advance of 4is t•quire,-
the crusader was startled at seeing .three
bCautiful ypuno , girls, who were seated on
the green sward near the foot of this ru-
inedidifice, with a repast of choice -deli
cacies and wines - before them, which they
were- enjoying in the noontide Shade. Nu
'sooner:did their eyes rest upon the knight
than they started up, hastening towards
hiin, and causing him to - rein in- his steed.
- 0' Sir knight," cried one of the gay beau,
ties, in the sweetest of tones, " will _yoti
not come and.join us . iu our pleasant re
past? can refresh you a little,- give,
your jaded beast sonic fresh . grass,- , and
thereafter yon can proceed so Much more
rapidly that you will lose uu time . itv
ai
cepting our cheer."
"Fair maiden, I am charged 'With' a
message, and 'cannot delay—"
"Nay, but you will arrive full as soon.
Do nbrturn a deaf car to our appeals,. tbr,
as.atrne knight, thou shoiddst be ready
to hear the wrongs we have to narrate- to
thee !"
"Faith, I will tarry for ti few moments,
if so be that you will excuSe my dtist-cov
ered attire. It were a difficult thing for
mortal man CO resist thehivitation. of such
charming fairiessas yourselves !"
"Flattering knight! if You .think thus
oT.our attractions, what will, you say to.
those of our mistress, the fair lady Edith?"
" Edith l 7 queried the 'knight, :looking
from 9ire to the.other of the maids, as if
equally bewildered' by his eves 'and his
thoughts. Dismounting, he led the horse
to s pile of newly cut grass, indicated to
him by one of the •girls,and then attended
that to their rustic board. The servant,
on riding up, and seehig hi 4 master thus
"engaged, lost no time in baiting his= own
steed, and then threw hiniself ai length
on the green sward under the trees, where.
he lay zuotionless, while the crusade par;
took of the daintieS spread before him,
and answered the questions showered up.
on him by his charming hostesses. '
" You spoke of your mistress," said the
knight, as he arose--" is she near ?"
-`t She is on yonder tower."
The .quick eye of Arthur caught a
glimpse of a white dress, as the wind
blew out its long train from behind one
ofthe raised corners of the old. battlements
of the tower,but he could not seethe face;
nor even the figure of the -wearer. •
"You will certainly go and pay - your
devoirs, sir knight?" pleaded ono of the
girls, with her most benitching _smile.
-The knight hesitated; but the; mention
ofthe name of Edith had caused him to
much etiriosity, that lie finally concluded
to gratifyit, saying to himself: ; .
"'lt will require - bat moment, and
then will hurry - on my way."
"But you must-proceed to the tower
alone," said one of the girls. " The,nseent
is easy and direct you:annot piss the
way to the spot where our lady h l / 2 .7-,;:insl 7
Ina,,:''
~--The knight bowed; promising-to come
back in a moment and.take his. leave of
the girls, and then wept - to the' tower.
After. .snine difficulty, he made his- way to
the battlement ; but nO.signs of any wo
man,. was seen, and'all Ins search, in the
'shades . of twilight, which". had, now enin-. 1

"I am tricked," he finally muttered.. "I
