SCENE—John Smith', Country More— Tuts, Evening--Sessuus, Sundry Vil lagers, and Farmers who have " happened in as usual." Mr. Smith.—Trade is very dull nowa days; I don't, sell half as muck. as I did five years ago. Mr Jones.—Good reason. Things 're so high, we can't afford to buy. You charge such awful prices, Smith. Mr.Smith.—Can't help it. I have to pay so much more. When I sold sugar at 10 cents a pound, I made a cent, a pound, and I only make a cent now on 20 cents, and this cent profit don't go so far to keep my family. Mr. Brown.—l buy just as much as ev er. I don't see as there is much change. I used to sell my 000 bushels of wheat for 72 cents a bushel, or $450. Of this $250 went for family store bills, and $2OO to pay off my farm debt. Now, when I sell for $1,50 per bushel, or $9OO, it takes about $5OO for store bills, and leaves $4OO to pay off the debt. In fact, these high prices suit me. I wish Mr. McCulloch had kept out of the Treasury, for he threatens to make Greenbacks par, and knock down prices. Mr. Price.—l don't see as it makes much difference. If there is twice as much money going, and everybody gets twice as mach for everything he raises, and pays twice as much for everything lie buys, it all comes out square at the end; and there is this gain in the operation; those who save money, or make a profit, make double, as neighbor Brown explains about paying his farm debt. Mr. Butler.—That'a so. Mr. Greene.—So I think.—Mr. Moore. —So do I. Mr. Baker.—There is a little drawback. I keep the accounts of Widow Roberts, who has the mortgage on Mr Brown's farm, and the *4OO be pays, don't go on ly half so far in supporting her, and edu cating her children. Mr. Travis (the School Teacher.)—Yes it does, for I only get $3O a month for teaching Mrs. Robert's and Othir's chil dren, and I used to get $25 with wheat at 75c. Rev. Mr. Corey.—And I only get $BOO a year, while I always had $5OO with wheat at 75 cents and sugar 10 cents. Several voices.—Tbat ain't quite square. Mr. Knox, (Editor.)—And you only pay me $2 a year for my newspaper, which you thought cheap at $1,50, five years ago, though I have now to pay three times as much for every thing I use is making a newspaper. Mr. Greene.—Wby don't you raise your prices, too ? . Mr. Knox.—People won't stand it. I must keep along with no profit, or even at a loss, hoping for better times, or else lose my subscribers, and let the paper go down. Why, when I raised the price from $1,50 to $2 a year, a good many stopped the paper—among them Mr. Brown himself, though I paid him double for his wheat. Mr. Brown.—l didn't stop it so much for the price; I -went in for paying for my farm by extra economy. ' Mr. ICtioz.:-Yes; he followed my ad vice for people "to economize and pay their debts now." But let us see if Mr. Brown began at the right place. On one Saturday I published in my paper that wheat, had advanced 15 cents a bushel. On Monday Mr. Brown went to market with his wheat,and sold 60 bushelsat one cent advance over the old price, and thought he did well. Be came home boasting about it, until he met neighbor Johnson, who got the lb cents advance, because he read my paper, and was wide awake. Mr. Brown's loss on 60 bushels would pay four whole year's subscription. Mr. Brown.—Don't say anything more about that, Mr. Knox, and put me down a subscriber for life. Mr. Knox.--I have heard of several oth er such losses by those who stopped my paper. Not to be too personal, as some ofthem are here, I will al them A. B. C., etc. Mr. A. paid 4 per cent more fees on $7l taxes, because he did not. see the collector's notice in my paper, and thus lost $2,84, to save $2. Mr. B, paid $3,60 the same way. Mr. C. failed to bring in his claim against an estate because be did not see in.my paper the legal notice limit ing the time. That, cost him $34, to save $2 subscription. Mr. D. sold 200 pounds of wool at 62 cents, becalm he did not. see an advertisement of Mr. Smith, right here at home, offering. 70 cents. That cost, him $lB, to save $2. Mr. F's boys went down to the village every night or two, to get the news and local gossip, because they had .no paper at borne, and one of them - fell into - b4d company, and is rained. tknoirtwentresites where peo ple Idst inoney'for not learning what is going on.

MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, JAN. 30, 1866. And then think of a household sitting dOwn together 365 days in a year, and having nothing to talk about, except their own affairs, and a few items of gossip, gathered up by occasional contact with other people. Mr. Taylor.—Let me help editor Knox's argument. Wife read to me an item he published about a humbug, which he cop ied from the American Agriculturist, of New York City. Next day one of those same humbugs came round with hie arti cle, and was so plausible that he almost persuaded her into paying him 63, for his swindling recipe; but the editor's caution kept her back. Mr. Knox.—Yes, and do you know that the fellow sold more than fifty of the hum bug recipes hereabout, at $3 a piece P bat not to any one of my subscribers. Mr. Potts.—Pat me down as a subscri ber, Mr. Knox, here is your two dollars Mr. Shaw.—And me too. Mr. Knott.—Thank you, gentlemen. I'll try to make a better paper than ever. Every dollar helps; a new subscriber on ly adds to my expense the cost of paper. If everybody took the paper, and thus di vided the cost of getting news, setting type, office rent, etc., I could double the value of the paper to each. Please talk the matter over with other neighbors and see, if it cannot be done. Seven! Voices.—We will. Mr. Smith.—And now while you are about it, I want to 'make up a club for a good New York paper. Mr. Brown.—We can't afford to take so many papers. Mr. Smith.—Yon have just seen that you could not afford to stop your home paper; let us see if it will not pay to join our club. Mr. Rich, you have taken the Am-tit-an Agriculturist for several years. Does it pay ! Mr. Rich.—Pay ? Yes, fifty times over. Why, I got two ten acre fields ready to ROW to wheat, and put in one of them. I That night my Agriculturist came, and I read a simple recommendation about pre paring seed wheat. I called John and we put 15 bushels in soak for the next day. It cost 50 cents for the materials. Well, that second field yielded 5• bushels an acre more than the otber—or 50 bush els extra, and better wheat too. Pretty good pay for 81,50 expended for a paper. And 1 have got lots of other hints almost .as profitable. You know I -get better profits on my beet; pork, and mutton than any other man in the place. Now does this not come from any direct hint, like the wheat, but from a good many sug gestions that I have picked up in reading the Agriculturist, and from the course of reasoning that I have been led into, by reading in it what others do, and think, and say. Mr. Smith.—Yon are another, subscri ber to the Agriculturist, Mr. West; does it pay ? Mr. West.—Pay ? Yes. You know what good cabbages and potatoes I had last season. Why, the cabbages were worth double any others in town, for mar ket or for home use. I had 400 heads worth 5 cents a piece, extra ; and they only cost 20 cents extra for seed. My 250 bushels of potatoes.are all engaged for seed at 81,50 a bushel, when other kinds bring only 50 cents. That's $250 clear gain, for the 814 extra I paid for seed, awl the 11,50 I paid for the Agricul turist. It was through this paper that I learned about both the cabbages and po tatoes. Its editors are careful, intelligent men, on the constant lookout, for anything new that is really good, while the paper abounds in cautious against the poor and unprofitable. Mr. Smith.—What say you, Mr. Tay lor ? Does it pay to invest, 1.1,50 in the Agriculturist Mr. Taylor.—Most certainly. A hint in the paper led me to look after certain insects at the proper time, and the result wa', I had lOU barrels of splendid apples, which brought me a clean $5 per barrel, and this you know was better by $l, than the average prices here , or $l6O. Then I have rea d so much about good and bad Grapes, the method of treating them, etc., that I can beat the town in raising grapes profitably. My son, William, got a kink in his head about Tomatoes, from some thing the Editors said, and sent for some seed. He made more moneron the crop raised in his spare hours, than was clear ed by half the farmers in this town. Mr. Smith.—Let's hear from Mr, Crane. Mr. Crane.-1 only read in the paper what was said about. hogs—what kind paid best, bow to feed them, and the like; but if you will call around and' see my porkers, and my expense account, I'll bet a pippin I can show fifty dollars more of pork for the same money, than any other man here. And this comes from reading what other men think and do. But wife ought to be - here to srmak.. She and the girls read the Agrindiurial next , to the Bible. • They think the honsebold•depart• meat is worth more than all the fashion magazines in the world. They, tiny, Ma so full of good hints about al kinds of house work. Ali I can say is, that, we do have better bread and cake, and wife says, the-cake don't cost. so much alit= need to. She has learned from theirmer: how a hundred Other house •.k.eeper,s , do their work. C )rey.—Let me ray, also, that Mrs. Crane and tier daughters havc added * good many beautiful but cheap home made fixtures' to their parlor and Bitting rooms, which certainly make their home more attractive. They told me, the oth elday, they got these up from pictures in the Agriculturist. -Mr. Travis.—My salary has not allow ed-me to take the paper; though I must squeeze out enough to do so this year. My school boys have brought me some copies to took at, the past year or two, and I find the Boy's and Girl's department of the Agriculturist the beat thing I ever saw. It is full, of items, etc., that amuse and at the same time instruct the chil dren. Why, I could pick out the boys and girls in my schootwhose parents take the :Agriculturist just by hearing them talk—they are so full of new and good things they have learned from the paper. The paper has many beautiful engravings. Rev. Corey.—As small as is my salary, I would have the paper if it cost $5 a year instead of $1,50. The fact is, it helps out my salary. My little garden plot at the parsonage has yielded us almost all our table vegetables, besides many beautiful flowers. The Agriculturist has been my constant guide. I knew but little of gar dening; but this paper is so full of infor mation about the best things to plant and sow, when to plant, and how to cultivate —all told in so plain and practical a way, by men who seem to talk from their own experience, that I know just what to do, and bow to do it well. The high moral tone of the paper, its common sense, the care it takes of all parts of the Farm, the 1 Garden, the Orchard—the Household work, and the Children as well, with its hundreds of beautiful and instructive en gravings—make it the most valuable pe riodical I have ever seen. I heartily wish every one of my parishioners would take it for himself and family. It would awa ken thought and enterprise; give interest to the town and neighborhood talk, stim ulate improvement, introduce new and profitable crops, animals and implements, and add to our wealth. Take my advice and all of you try the paper a year. The $1,50 itcosts, is only three cents a week, and it is worth that any way. Why the large and beoutiful engravings are worth many times that. Mr. Davis.—! took the Genesee Farmer last year, and as that has stopped, I tho't I would take a new paper. Mr. Smith.—The " Genesee Farmer" was not really stopped. The Publishers of the Agriculturist invited Mr. Harris to join the Farmer to the Agriculturist, and put his whole force into the latter paper. They paid him a huge price for his office and moved it with everything connected with it, to their office. So the Agrieultu riSt is really two papers joined into one, and of course better. 1 think we better go eith Mr. Harris to the Agriculturist, thatihas been published for 25 years, and has !hundred thousand circulation, which, as Mr. Knox has told us, supplies the meals and facilities for giving as a great deal more for the same money. Mr. Har ris *ries on his large farm, and in his " Walks and Talks on the Farm," and othte things he writes for the Agricultu rist, he tells us a great deal about all kind; of farm work. Mr. Davis.—Put me down for the Ag riculturist. " Smith.—l am glad to do so. I know you will like it. The January num ber,lwhieh has just come to hand, is alone worth the cost, of a year. See here, (show ing it,) there are 40 pages, twice as large as tie magazine pages, and there are thir ty five engravings in it, two of them full pap! size, and see how beautiful ! Why, I'll give any man who takes the papers a yeall a dollar and a half in goods out of my tore, if he says at the end of a year be his not got many times his money's worth. Ml. Elution—Put me in your club. Mr. Greene.—And me .too.—Mr. B.— And me. Mr. Smith.-4 have no interest in the matter, except to do a good thing for the place. You can join our club, or nny one who desires can get the .Agriculturist for all of 1866 (Volume 25,) by simply enclo fsing 81,50, with his name and post office ddress, and sending it to Orange Judd du Co., 41 Park Row, New York City. I' l 'be paper always comes prompt and reg arly, and, what Li a good thing, it stops Alen your time is up, without you hay. in gto write about it. I predict that there vill be plenty of others next winter, to alk as Mr. Rich, Mr. West, Mr. Crane and Parson Corey have done to night. LOOKING FOR A BERTII.--Wbile the coat was lying at Cincinnati, just ready' io start for Lonisvilla, a young man came tin board, leading a blushing damsel by the hand, and approaching the clerk, in a !oppressed voice : " I say," he eiclaimed, 6 me and my wife have just got married, nd' I'm looking for aCcommodations."

FOE THE ritiffiCEAT. • , Row Reniitgaril - Beeolierwonldlitinish the Rebels were he in Pres ident Johnson's place. , A It has been „told how , the, popular preacher ofPlytnouth. church , was, so de lighted with the prosPect of parting.com pany with the people of She South, that he proposed to hold a day $' thanksgiv ing to Almighty God whenever the final separation should take place. We have heard him telling the people.of New Eng land that, he did not care if all the gulf States left the Union, and that it would be for the advantage Of the North to bare the South go off. We have heard Mu, declare that, there would not be a. tear shed at her departure, and he would not have any of the gulf States think that the North was unwilling to part company with them. These declarations all show that. he did not believe it a moral wrong for those States to secede from the Union ; thatbe did not believe secession to be a crime, or the Southern people to be traitors or re bels in thus leaving the North, and "go ing off into a nation by themselves." If be did believe it wicked for them so to do, he was a monstrous hypocrite in not telling them beforehand of the wrong they were about to commit, and warning them of the consequences of their crime. If in his estimation secession was crime, why did be not tell them so ? If seces sion was rebellion, and rebellion against the government an enormous sin against God, why did he not, as a faithful minis ter of the gospel, admonish them of that sin ? If they were committing no crime, they deserved no punishment,. If they had a legal and moral right to secede, as Gerrit Smith told them they had, they bad a right to fight for the maintenance of their government. If they had as much right to set up an independent na tion as our forefathers had, according to the declaration of Mr. Greeley, the Uni ted States government had no more right to subjugate them to its authority than Great Britain bad to subdue our patriot sires. But Gerrit Smith, after asserting their right to secede even in the NatiOpal halls —followed them with "curses and guns." Horace Greeley, after proclaiming their natural and inalienable right. to atter or abolish their government at their will, went in for conquest and subjugation,and the famous divine of Brooklyn turned de ceiver and hypocrite also. After propos ing to hold a day of thanksgiving if the Southern people would only secede from the Union, be calls fur punishinent upon them for doing the very thing that was to bring him so much joy. , If secession was wicked, 'did he not sanction that wickedness P And if it was not a crime, would a minister of the gos pel desire to punish it as such ? If seces sion and rebellion are crimes, he publicly sanctioned thoie crimes, and then called for punishment on the criminals. He says. to a large audience of his abolition broth ers: " It is my hope and prayer that among the first things that President Johnson will do, will be to take his iron pen and strike out with utter annihilation, so much of President Lincoln's amnesty proclama tion as contemplates restoration of prop erty to those that take the oath of allegi ance. (Great applause.) I hold that the educated, original ruling classes, in rebell ion should be made to smart and tingle to the uttermost with condign punishment, whose elements should be first, trial and condemnation, if need be, with remission, of sentence of death; second, disfran chisement; third, confiscation. (Re. newed applause.) No man that with his eyes open went into the rebellion, should go unpunished ; and ill was President of these United States, no such man should ever again have the power to shape a law or elect a Magistrate, or should stand oth erwise than as a branded and disgraced traitor. Pardoned he might be, and suf fered to live—but, be should i #17,4 as Cain lived." No one can fathom the depth of malice and revenge exhibited in the above sen tences, without contemplating the'results of such punishments as is here called for when inflicted upon the peopule of other nations. Horace Greeley, in his revenge. ful spirit toward the people, who only did what he told them they had a legal right to do, declared that when he, bad con qitered and subjugated them, "they should not return to peaceful and conten ted homes, but must find poverty at their firesides, and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers, and the rags of children." This minister , of the meek' nd forg,iving Saviour would have,nd, firesides fur 'the children of the Southern' people te'tieet around; and hot a tag to cover them. Ho would, poke ! thentit'at!

' ' 'The abolitionists reverse this sentiment' and say in word and deed, 46 We have malice toward all, and charity toward none." Henry Ward, Beecher says, het were in President Johnson's place he would rule over the Sotith like an. Eastern despot. He is of the me= principles of Thad, Stevens, who sayMti fiscate 394,000,000 of acres, the estates of rebels, and give . those lands to the ne groes. This must be done, even though it drives the nobty into exile. If they go all the better."Thas were the nobility who escape& .the guillotine exiled by Robespierre and the revolutionists of France. Beechei would appoint a day of thanks giving that the South had left the Union. The people of the whole nation, North , and South, should give thanks daily to Almighty Gocktbat Cromwell or Robes pierre are not bow suing the Presiden tial chair, in the person of a Sumner, a Beecher, a Wilson, or a.Stevens. Beecher may have somewhat relented, but the other abolitionists have not.. 'A President. who would rule with a rod of - tyranny„ over the South, would wave his iron rod over the North. The abolitiOnists have no more love of civil liberty than Crom well bad, of whose reign the New Cyclo pedia says, " Never tefore or since has England known so iron a rule f' or than Robespierre, whose reign filled the world with terror and dismay. They would change the American Republic into an Austrian despotism. Beecher says if be were President no prominent rebel should ever stand other wipe than •as a branded and, convicted traitor. Pardoned he might be, and sot fered to live—but he should live as - Cain lived. ' • And how did Cdin live?
