CHOICE POETRY.
Out Way 1 Loolilnj, n It.
I thought von always knew it well
(Although indeed you never said o)
I thought vou knew I dared not tell,
And that was why you toas'd your head so;
For I have often heard yon any
You hate tv see a fellow sighing,
To hear hiiu stammer all the. day.
And hint mysteriously at dying.
And if I have adored you so.
I thought vou knew! couldn't help it i
I could no more escspe my woe
Thau Joseph could his empty well-pit.
It wasn't fair of you at all ;
Y ou moved so light and play'd so neatly,
And set your foot upon the ball.
And c.oquct'd me, I know, completely !
Why did you let me look audi things.
And w hisper o'er emr melting iec,
If converse W illi you only brings,
This tnorl objectionable crisis ?
I wish I had not loved, for then
Perhaps you would not be offended,
Nor tiiug nie back tar heart again,
Nor tell me thus tout all is ended ?
Oh. yes! Sir John's a charming ea'ch
His stud, his balance at his banker's,
Dnlike himself, are hard to mulch ;
And 1 have but one horse at Sp inkcr's '
lie will not house you in some den.
Served by a footman single-handed-He
has such stoic of maids and men
As your position, love, demanded ;
And so. I quite approve your choice ;
1 won't regret my wasted wooing ;
I'll think your swtel soprano voieo
Has wariVd me iroui my own undoii g.
And yet I know, that when ton lale
lust as the speciro cume to Priam
You'll learn to rue your splendid fjte,
Aud wish yourself ns free as 1 am.

Rev. Ile-nry YVkp.1 JIccikt writes from
Krcilmrg tu the IuJipa Jott :
"1 have j.ist returned from tlio ciiniTii of
St. Nicholas. The fame of its oiit.11 lt.il me
lo uiuke tliis it point of rest for the nifiht.
A little before ti'ht o'eloeU we filtered the
church Gothic, large nnd loll of twilight.
Several score came in, nnd silently wailed
ns we did. One more and Another still en
tered nnd seemed liku shadows tiittir.jj past
the htieje column. A I evy of yirls came
lifjhtly forward, clinini: totilur, and, like
it Hock of doves that awing round and round
before nliohtin;.', they moved to the right,
only to swinjj; hack to the left, where mioii,
gently nnd prettily, they all settled upon the
luxurious oaken luiarel called it seat. The
The j;reat front doort were dosed. The
inner iron open-worked gate shut with ti
dull clink. Then a signal bell for the orpin
raur, and was echoed l y another below,
plentifully rung. All were silent wahiiiL:
for the opening note. I hoped to hear
some '.iliscrire' lireatlieil out. or some son
supplication that would curry nie above
life nud day. Insto ul, a roll and crash canir
from the full ornan. Kvcrythinof rushed
forth with sereamiii'i exultation. If there
(lew into the roar a liille snatch of melody,
all the parts, like so imipy hawks, swooped
down upon it, tutttehiti!; it ftom each oilier,
and inountinjt wiih it, or dm tine; down
ward, so that the poor sweet litt'c melody
wished it had neer sjiread its wing. It
was too late for re-lets. They tore it to
pieces and nothing was heard of it mine.
Kverythiiiej hadg.mc wrong w ith me to-day.
1 was in it reaction. Yesterday 1 bad jone
over the Wenejetn Alps, stood lace to face
with Jungfruu, Monen, and Kier ; been the
glaciers, itnd hearel the nval.inclies : and
come home to see the sun oiijIowii upon
that cloudless J unfruu in exi'dsite plory.
to see the moon urise and change it.- u'dd
to silver, unci till thu uir with an me liable
beauty. It was a day full of (.iod and lory.
I slept uneasily, llili monunj; 1 ne c.
hau&led, uud nothing ull day loug p:ea.-i d
me. And now the organ tnvl turn against
me too, unci shriek und roar and sliuui
against inc. Vet niter tt bile it seemed lo
havu found a master that restrained it.
Less and less harsh was it ; sweeter slop
began to predominate; thu l.annoiiy was
rounded und full; and at length a plaintive
air was given und repeated again given
and chord by this und that stop, until 1
could think of nothing else but u singing
school in heaven, where an angel was prac
tising the little angels, nnd each of them
was imitating, as well as he could, the
sonorous sweetness of his master', theme.
Then the angels, old and oung, ull sung
together. My heart sang too, and 1 was
purely happv. bo, then, I had it iiittsieial
repetition ol some of my Alpine experiences.
It was just so that 1 had climbed thu-e
ruggetl passes, uud been savagely treuted by
a storm that roared about us, mid that fol
lowed us down thu other side, unlil nt
length the descent nccoinplisheil, nn exqui
site vulle-y, sunlit, full of happy people,
rejoiced my eyes a thousand times more
lovely Iron) its contrast with the licicc tem
pest among thu mountain-tops.
"Then came asort of exhibition-piece, in
which the organ was made to show what
it could do. I never liku such things. An
orgati is the gravest and grandest instru
ment in thu world. It is a uiusicial cathe
dral. Its service is religious. To set it to
perform waltzes is us absurd us it would be
to clear a cathedral fur thu dancing of
Wlllt7.CS.
'It is putting un organ to mockery to
lead it up und down in frivolous rope-dancing
and uiusicial legerdemain. -AY hat is
more absuret than a herd of elephants dan
cing a minute t NY hat would be thought of
a senate of venerable men who should down
on their knees and play nt children's games,
leap-frog, uiutuble lhe-peg and uch liku
sports?
"Thu '.H-st thing to be said of the ponder
ous levity included in to-nighta exhibition
is, thut it wus less bud than usual on such
occasions. .
."The famous Vox Humana stop disap
pointed ma. Although very skililully man
aged, at it needs to be, anil in some tew
notes closely resembling the human voice,
on the whole it was not close cnongh to
satisfy, scarcely to please. It was always
used alter a dark and tempestuous passnge.
It sounded as if one were riding past a
church in a storm aud heard rather uusul
voices chanting therein. Oueu or twice it
wus brought out with an illusory swuetnusa.
"Handel's Hallelujah Chorus satisfied me.
It was uiHgniuceiitly rendered. The whole
power ot thu instrument was developed.
As tho sublime couccption was evolved, I
lost all thmght of time and place. I he
olid roof passed away ; the organ itself
was for moment forgotten ; tho whole air
was tilled with glorying angels; thu cried
to enelt other with ecstatic joy, nnd answer
ed buck ns joyfully. New bunds broke in.
Sweeping tip ward ns into thicker hosts,
und earning the fiery contagion of rapture,
the whole universe aeeined in motion of
boundless joy. Then thou, tun, O my soul 1
tlidst join the celestial host! Not with
sound or articulation, but with worshipful
thoughts and sacred joys, unspeakable anil
full of glory I Then there was lifted up
tieforo in v inward sight u majesty of love,
as far surpassing men und angels, as yester
day the snow mountains, in radiant sunlight,
had seemed more grand and glorious than
the daisies nnd harebells that grew at their
feet 1 I ant sure that music is the key that
opens heaven. Not Peter, but Handel, to
night. The surging sounds died away and
silence itself seemed melodious fur u little
while."

Gbskhai, Oiidkr Xo. 42. On the night!
of the (it l i list., a party of bushwhackers. ;
some three in number, visited the house of
a Mr. Schwartz, about twelve miles from i
Jcli'erson Cily, in Cole county, nnd on de-;
lu.-tiiding admittance, they were tefused by
Miss Schwartz, it young lady of fifteen. j
They ri plied they would come in, at the
same time trying to break down the door.
While this was going on, the other inmates '
of.the house, viz.: Mr. Schwartz, John Wise,
Captain Gohleii, government horse denier,
and ti young limit in his employ all left,
taking with them (us they supposed) all the
arms uud ammunition. In their hasty re- .
treat they left behind n revolver, which
.Miss Sehrtiirtz appropriated to her own use.
She went to the door, and on opening it,
prtsented the pistol to the leader of the
gang, telling them to "come on if they
wanted to, and that some of them should
fall, or she would. ' They thle-titened to kill
her if she did not leave the door; she re
plied, 'I'uJinf vi.t iew (. tit one ttri tinrnnl.1

Here is u letter from Chaplain Loz.ier, of
the Thirty-seventh Indiana volunteers, show
ing how the boys and girls cun help nave
their country, lie says:
"Xow all you boys nnd girls who want to
help save the country holdup your hands!
Oh ! what n multitude of little hands would
be held up if I could only be there to take
the vote in your Sunday-school. The fact
is, that the henrts of the dear little children
are too )urc to be cither rebels or 'sym
pathizets.' Yes, the boys and pifls nil w ant
to help save thu country. YVcll, now, I'll
soon shox you just how to do it. just
help save the lives of the soldiers who are
lighting to save thu country. That very
hand of yours can do this very thing. It
can pick nnd dr a few lilnrllnrrie that will
do as much tow ard saving some sick soldier's
life ns tin; best doctor in thu Stato can do.
1 can't explain how this is now, but your
neighbor, w ho w as a soldier and came home
sick or wounded, can tell you that black
berries are the best thing a soldier can get
to eat in nianv cases ot sickness. mw
when you go out to the 'patch
are VOU '
going to cat as long ns you can cram one
(low n and not pick any for the soldiers?
No, I guess you w ill not. Try and get ns
many as a quart after they aro dried, and
get sister or mother to make a little bag
out of a piece of strong muslin, and print
your name on a piece of paper and sew it
on the little bug, and when the soldier gets
jour nice berries he will say, 'God bless
that dear littly boy '.'
"And now my little girl, what can ymt do
for the soldiers ? You may be alraid the
briars would scratch your dear little hands.
Well, what if they dot You can have it to
say that you 'l.lal Jur your country? and that
is saying a good deal. You can do this
much anyhow : You can pick and dry a
fpiart of cherries or plums for the sick
soldiers, can't Vou 1 Certainly vou can, and
will too, 1 feel confident. Fix them just as
I told the boys lo fix the blackberries, nnd
you'll get the soltlioi's blessing. And now
1 want to whisper something to you. Some
of these days, w hen you hear your pa or ma
talking about how utrmnj they are for the
Union, and now tnnch they lore the soldiers,
you ask them if they love the soldiers i

or a keg of krtiut t That's the kind of Union
savers and soldier-love: s that we're looking
for iiow-a-days ! Why, just to think of it. 1
have been in the army and I have seen the
poor soldier pay ten cent for three little
scrubby potatoes such iis you would hardly
feed to tint pigs! They have been glad to
get onions tit five cents apiece ! Now we
want your pa anil ma. nud everybody else's
pa and inn, to contribute plenty of these
things to the sanitary commission, and those
who have not any such things to give can
give money, and we will send them to the
noble bins, and it will not only make them
glad, but also save many of their lives.

It litis been the fashion lor some years,
pii't. on the part of the rebels, to claim
that their men are "the bravest of tho brave,''
and their women "the fairest of the fair."'
They have also maintained that the southern
people generally are more refined, elegant
and noble tlian'those of the North, and we
have among us those who have swallowed
these statements without winking. We
have eves heard from thu pulpits of Union
preachers eulogies on this race with small

another young and beiitililul damsel to a

At the same time she took a cob pipe from

"This breed was imported from China,
and first introduced into this country a te-i'

. . . . . . ... '
Smith had a clear increase of more than
seventy sheep and lambs from these three.
This statement ut first seems almost incredi
ble, but it is published over his own name,
and from this and the statements of other
reliable gentlemen in regard to the wonder
ful fecundity of this breed of sheep, no
doubt whatever is to be attached to the
above. They breed twice a year, and have
from three to five lambs at a time. Mr.
Smith, in un accounts these sheep, says :
'The live weight of tho bucks is from 173
to 200 pounds, und the ewes proportionate
ly heavy. The quality ol the mutton is tho
finest I ever saw , being entirely free from
the strong; taste common with most other
breeds of sheep. The wool is coarse und
long. They are easy keepers, and not jump
fences a low stone wall is sufficient to turn
them. Thev arc quite hardy, and stand our

Smith also made many experiments in cross
ing them with other breeus, and with goeid
results. They weio crossed with the Lei
cester, Merino and Saxon giving three
lamb at a birth ; and any breed crosseel
with thu Nunkin buck, will have two or
three lambs. Thu system of crossing with
ewes of other breeds might preserve the
wonderful features of fecuuelity ill the off
spring, but we doubt if thu characteristics
of sweet mutton and freedom jumping would
be likewise promulgated.
"After keeping them about two years,
Mr. Smith sold his entire flock suve one
ewe to Hon. Holie'rt L. Fell, of Esopus,
Ulster county, New York, a gentleman well
known to tho agricultural community as
foremost in ull thut can elevate and improve
our system of husbandry, and largely en

PliKSKKViNo FituiT. From an experience
of a number of years, in putting up various
kinds of fruits, we learu that the less they
are cooked tho more nearly is the natural
flavor of the fruit preserved, provided tho
heat has been raised to a sulhcient ilegree
to entirely expel ull tho air contained in the
cells of the fruit. Beyond this, cooking is
unnecessary. For heating the fruit we have
practiced various methods : at first it was
scalded in a kettle and then put into the
jars, but of lute years, particularly with the
ilillereut kiuds of berries, our practice has
beeu to put them ut once iulo the jars, and
then set them into the wutcr, raising tiiu
heat to thu boiling point, letting thcui stand
in thu water until the contents were tho
roughly heated through taking the fruit
from one of the jars to till up the shrinkage,
or some is scalded iu a kettle for this pur
pose and then sealing immediately. Uy
putting the fruit into the jar belore it is
scahleei it retains its form much better.
The most convenient vessel for setting the
jars into for scalding that we havu tried is
a square tin pan, a; large us can be conve
niently heated over the stove, say to hold
ten or twelve quart jurs at a time, in two
rows. The depth of ihe pan should be near
ly equal to the height of the jars. Wu huvo
learned one lesson by rather costly experi
ence. If the jars set close dow n upon the
bottom of the pan, they are very liable to
break, ow ing to the confined air iu the cavi
ty at the bottom. To obviate this u small
wire is bent in u ig zag form, so that some
portion of the w ire will come under the bot
tom of each jar.
tvery year brings out n number ot new
patents for self-sealing jars. Of the great
number of these it is not easy without a
trial to determine w hich is best. Lust sea
son we saw u very simple aud economical
method practiced, applicable to any kind of
jars. It was upplieil however to fruits pre
served in about half thu usual weight of
sugar, something after the old plan of pie
scning fruits, and the jars closed w hen not
quite so hot as is usual in the modern me
thod of putting up fruits. The jars were
closed by simply pasting two thicknesses of
strong nianillii paper out the neck, after
having placed over tho fruit in each jar a,
paper cut to fit the inside. This paper is
uiisixcd, such us is used for printing ; they
kept perfectly. In sealing up fruits while
hot, which should always Ou done, thu
shrinkage would be more, aud thu pressure
on the outside consequently greater. Wu
think a very safe plan would be to apply,
first, a piece of strong cloth over the jur,
closely pasted around thu neck, uud then to
cover that with two thicknesses of uiunilla
paper, thu hist extending a little below the
edge of the cloth, and the next thickness
below the first, so as to be sure to close up
every passage against the ingress of uir j
then to the w hole apply one or two coats of
glue. This would be a simple process that
uny one could perform, and we have no
doubt would bo as etTcctuul as any of the
-elf-sealers. We have frequently put up to
matoes aud other fruits in cheap quart jurs,
such as are sold ut 73 cents per dozen, and
closed them with nothing but a simple cap
of strong cotton cloth, well waxed and firm
ly bound around thu neck with twine, and
the whole well coated over with wax; but
the binding is a severe operation for the
hands, aud it the paste and glue will answer
the same purpose, cheap furs may be used
and tho work easily done.., in Country
