They are safe and plea

to cure. Their penetra

body, remove ihe obstructions of its organs, purity
the blood, aui czpel disease. Tbey purge out the
foul humors which breed and grow distemper, stim
ulate sluggish cr disordered organs into their naiurul
action, and impart tone and strength to the whole
eysiem. Not only do they cure the every day oom
plaints of everybody, but formidable aod dangerous
diseases. While they produce powerful effects, they
are at the .am time, in diminished doses, the safest
and best physio that ean be employed for children.
Being sugar-coated, they art pleasant to take ; and,
being purely vegetable, are entirely harmless
Cures have been made that would surpass belief,
were they not substantiated by men cf such exalted
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Mauv eminent clerevmen and pbvsioians certifv to

others hare sent us the assuranct of their conviction
that our preparations contribute immensely to the
relief of our afBicted fellow-men.

KINO AUTUMN.
Come not with sudden rage,
With flying leaves trim straining woodlands
hurled,
No windy conflicts wage ;
Rather with elouda in fleecy phalanx ourled
Come, deeply-musing, sage,
To rtign, rich Autumn, o'tr a peaceful world !
Come like the friend we love,
Like sleep like evening from the unknown
west ;
Our eyes are raised above,
Far off we see thy skirts in splendor drest ;
Watch where thy footsteps rove,
wnattorest depths or glades will please thee
HHlt
Lo ! deep in yonder wood
A throne of gold 'lh umbrageous linden shines
And, drenched in Summer's blood.
The chestnut biases next tbe tall dark pines ;
This fir. it thy onset stood :
So won its crimson stains its gorgeous lines.
Adown this vale thy breath
Flushes my cheek, I hear thy soft faint sigh :
Is it for Summer's death
Thy sorrow dove-like thus would make its cry'
Or that thy purple heath
rt long itself 'neath winter's snows must lie?
Tbe wheat-fields shake their spears
Where uplands redden in their sunset glow ;
The valley tar below
Ked as a mighty battle-field appears,
Where thick the poppies blow ;
Olitter o'er yellow furze some joyful tears.
What streams of amber light
Pierces my dreams and leads the reapers home !
'Tii hurvest moon to-night !
The starry host rides high in heaven' blue
kindles at the sight,
Now know I Autumn and its joys are come !
King of a peooeful land,
We linger charmed where thy corn-crops wave,
Or by the brooklet stund
And bail thee semiring o'er tha year's ripe
grave
Fruits with a lavish hand,
The last re 1 rose thy loving care could save.
Past hours return once more.
Old voices haunt us by the forest's side,
And from .h' Eternal Shore
Dear forms and faces to remembrance glide ;
We love those days of yore :
Best dost thou to their buried treasures glide.
Ask, then, 'neath Autumn's spell,
Wbut fruits our lives beur as the years grow
old ?
Else harvest rings our knoll,
Base metal we when all around is gold :
Yon dead leaf, ns it fell,
Warned us how soon our working dnysare told !

scattered in lonely praves on mnuiiinin
crests, on hill sides, in ravines, by water
courses, in thickets, aud elsewhere, as they
fell in the cause of their country.
Not only did our loyal State contribute
thus largely to swell the ranks of the patriot
army, but she furnished some of the most
illustrious of its commanders as Mct'U llan.
Meade, Hancock, Hartranft, Geary, P.irnev,
and a countless host of subordinate "Hirers,
who deserve well of fame, and have givin
lasting renown to the Commonwealth.
But no name nmong her heroic sons is
more illustrious than that of the lamented
John F. Reynolds, "the noblest, ns well as
the, bravest gentleman ic the army," as was
so earnestly declared in an address delivered !
by General" Meade, then at the head id' the j
Army of the Potomac, before the proudest
of its commanders.
It was our fortune to have had a slight
acquaintance with General Reynolds, having
belonged to his brigade when he took com
mand in the field ; and we desire to pn-.-erve
sump reminiscences of him, our ideal of a
soldier. His personal appearance was tini
ncntly martial. He was of medium statute, j
muscular, active in movement, enrnc.-t in ex '
pression, of sanguino bilious temperament; 1
his hair and beard were of a light brown
color, his eyes lilue and quick, his mouth
firm, and garnished with an elegant set of
teeth, which he displayed when excited, and
which were suhjects f frequent comme nt
hy the men. who indeed his mood bv h,
lips. He wastnnrli 011 horn-hack, and mat
agi'd his steed with en-r and skill.
"Amid the troors. and like the leading god,
Ilih o'er the rest the graceful I urnus rode "
As a diseiplinal tan, he w us uiisurim-.cd ;
his brigade was lirougbt to the accuracy an. I
method ol regulars soon alter he took cliui'ue
ol it, and although the boys rebelled against
his rigidity at tirst, they soon became im
pressed with its necessity, and found their
labors lightened by the aid of system. The !
General bad the "Army Regulations'' at his
lingers' end, and no departineut ot the ser
vice, whether Commissary, Quartermaster,
Medical, Ordnance, etc., could get 11 defec
tive paper passed through his headquarters.
ery acute in observation, notiiiiig iu ins
camp escaped his discovery. When the
troops moved lie was hard by, watching
until regiment alter regiment tilol past linn
ou the road ; then galloping bout, he would
leid in proper marches, stopping occasion
ally until thecolumu went by in review
thus uoqiiainting hiinselt w ith Ihe conditioti
of the men and the character of their pro
gress. Upon hulling ut night every detach
ment had lis proper place assigned lor hi
votiac, and no beating about ot tired regi
ments, to si ck eligible locations, was ever
known in his command. The felicity of his
selection of camping ground was often the
tlieme ot admiration. I lie tieneral always
kept his men under his eye; on the mutch
he observed their movements; when at halt
he was among them ; and at night slept on
the ground in their midst. His equipage
was simple, his stall" small and select ; and
it was u iiKtial sight to see him dashing out
on duty w ith a solitary orderly, or in actiou
with but a single aide. His fare was plain
and frugal, his habits strictly temperate,
and he w as rigid and severe in his dealings
with intemperate officers. Remarkably taci
turn, but few of his subordinates ever boast
ed of prolonged conversations with their
General. Willing to counsel, he had no dis
position to waste his time in useless talk.
Business absorbed his timo and attention
completely. On one occasion s witty young
oiliccr. who made a hasty return to bis com
puny from an unsuccessful attempt to visit
neighboring village, reported to his Colonel
that he had a conveisation with "Uncle
John." "Aye," said the Colonel, "ynu were
honored : w hat passed T" "Ue inquired po
litely to what regiment I belonged; To the
Fifth, eir," I replied. . "Then join your com

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER
No man lived more high-minded nnd con
scientious. To discharge his duty Seemed
his governing purpose. Humbug, orienta
tion and self glot ideation were foreign to
his nature. No newspaper reporters were
ever encouraged to hang round his quarters
to puff him into celebrity J and he was, con
sequently, distinguished in the army long
before his worth was' appreciated by the
public. More than once he scooted the
I press letter writers from his presence, when
tney intruded with impertinent question
ings. "Get out of my tight, sir!" was the
nsture command he uttered to one bold cor
respondent of a leading New York journal,
who rode up to him ou a march, to post
himself 011 movements. Hence, but little
adulation of him was spread before the
readers of new spapers. '1 his indilt'eicnce to
public applause, and a seeming disregard of
the favor of the men, made him unpopular
wuii mem on "iirst acquaintance; nut as
they grew familiar with his merits, knew
how real was his concern for them, and how
r.ife they were under his guidance, lie be
came the idol of all. The private soldiers
recognize tin able leader, and know "when
things are goitig right," by iustinct, appa
rently. One of the first occasions to populu ie the
General was at the battle of Drainesville.
While Ord was foraging along the pike near
Drainesville, he wait attacked on his Hanks
by a concealed enemy. Reynold's brigade
lay to the south of the road, w ithin support
ing distance. The sound of the gunsstarted
him to the field of action, and lie instantly
made for a road which would have brought
him to the rear of the rebels, and secured
their complete capture. The Division Com
mander diverted the move, aud the etien-.v
escaped. The military ability of the Gene
ral was established.
In the following spring, while McDowell
was covering Washington, Rcvrwld's bri
gade was encamped on the heights of Fred
ericksburg, of which city he was Military j
Governor. The ladies of the' place were i
pestueniiy and proverbially disloval, and
displayed their aversion to the Yankees on 1
all occasions by the most contemptuous
and audacious demeanor. Some over zea
lous women placed a pair of diminutive re
bel banners ugainst their parlor window-
panes. A party of soldiers passine by. halt- ,
ed, and compelled the "ancient maiden" to ;
remove t tic obnoxious symbols, and straight-1
way erected a staff ami hoisted the true flag '
immediately in front of the dwelling of the j
offenders. A gallant carpet-knight, from a
New York regiment, "came riding by," ami j
pompously ordered Ihe men to take" down I
the pole and disperse. This was sooner ;
said than done. A disturbance was aiisiei.'.
when the General swooped on the crowd. ;
Learning the state of the case, he is said to
have directed the flair toremain. nnd threat- ;
ening with severe punishment any one who
would dare to disturb it. sent the delighted
soldiers to their regiments.
It is not our purpose to write a bioirraphy

rajship. Swinton has aptly depicted him as :
"one of the most distinguished and best be-
loved-officers of the army of the Potomac ;
one whom, by the steady growth of the
highest military qualities, the general voice !
of the whole nrmv had marked out for the
largest fame " Ve tverelv glance nt some '
personal points of character, and some in
cidents in his short career.
At Mechanicsvillc. he repulsed tho tci pi
assault which opened the Seven Days' Fiirht- :
ing; when the enemy lost between three
an I four thousand men. He was every- j
where present hIimil' the lines, and seemed
as self possessed and elated as if he were a
knight on a holiday journey. Indeed, this
was charateristio. The excitement of ha! tie
kindled and animated him. and liis face
shone with eagerness in the fray. He was j
insensible of fear. As his corps fell back. ;
overpnwired, hum storming the rebel riuht, I
at Fredericksburg, he directed the serving of j
the batteries that covered their retreat ; hih.'. !
occupied a position of imminent peril. One
of his staff, whose courage was beyond qui s- '
tion, ventured to call him to n sense of bis :
danger. "We an directly in range of the j
re' cl guns," mildly suggested the young ;
officer. The General was oblivious. The I
hint whs repeated, w i.en he exclaimed, "A!.!'' i
ami remained iinpcrt urbahle. I
At the battle ol Gaines' Hill, Gen. Rev- j
nold's evinced all his energy and skill. He I
was at every point. As lie was returning
from the right of his line to procure relief
for two regiments, which had expended 1
their nmmiuii'ion and were hard pree-l and
cxhan-ti d, lie ilicoveicd that his left was 111 ,
impending jeoj trdy, and he liu-tened to ;u .
V,.i,t i. ,. j 1 ; 1 1 1 s u-ave wttv, and tin- rue- '
ui mm pt t . 1 1 it 1 1 and captured the eleventh
retail' lit, and cut him off". With his Adju- j
taut G' iicr.d and an otdeilv, he concealed (
himself in a piece of wood" over nit;ht ; but
at day break they were taken prisoner, 1
while 'making an effort to escape into out
lines. He was curried to Richmond, thrust
into I.ihby, ami treated with discourtesy.
Too dignified and manly to ask for favors,
he shared imprisonment and contumely with
comrades of all ranks and conditions. It
happened that one Turner, a petty rebel of
ficial, had command in the prison, and re
cognizing the General, went forward and
addressed him. The General did not re
member his jailor. "My uame is Turner,"
said the miserable traitor. "Ah. 1 know
ynu," replied the Gene ral, nnd turned dis
dainfully on his heel. The secret of the
General's contempt had this origin : while he
was on duty (-is tutor, we trunk,) at est
Point, this s'prii;of chivalry was a cadet, and
disgraced himself bv conduct that removed
him from the right of fellowship with gen
tebuen. Turner was stung by the scorn he
received upon his sell introduction, und re
taliated with petty annoyances.
The General wus soon exchanged, and re-
)oiued his command at Harrison's Landing.
His brigade was drawn up to receive lnm.
and a heartier welcome home could uot have
beeu given under any circumstances than
was extended to the restored commander.
Immediately upon return to quarters, the
private soldiers collected among themselves
a larue sum of money, to buy him a hand
t ime sword. An eleguut weapoti w as pur
chased, but the tterD uveute that, crow tied
into history preventetl its presentation, and
this tribute of affection wus carried by a
sergeant fi 0111 the front, and consigned to
the family of the Geueral at Lancaster, after
his remains lpid beeu deposited in the quiet
church yatri there.
Rashness has been imputed to General
Reynolds. Wo demur. It is irtte, he did
save biniBclf. Ilia eye wus alwayB on the
field, and Ue wag with hi forces, to direct
their action. Day or night, when there was
work to do, found him present. A leading
officer iu his division uid, he seemed uhi-
quitous ; and informed me that alter the.bat

rebels for a missing friend, nnd had struck
ft match to light up the face of a body, when
the voice ol the General came out of the
darknes, crying, "put out that light." 80,
after the defeat of Pope at Manassas, where
the oeneral had exhibited bis Vigor and
valor to the utmost, his division was sent
back from Centreville, to picket in tho face
of the foe. We were uncomfortably near
iiieui, mat starry night, nnd their bullets
sang over our heads ns we lay in the pine
bushes on the hill side. Tho writer, with nn
assistant, was coming back to our position
from a temporary "absence on duty," when
we were tangled in the bushes, and turned
to the left ami got out on the front. As we
rode along, in blissful ignorance of danger,
ne iiescrioeit a grim iiattery frowning up a
road, leading towards the rebels, and be
jond it a "solitary horseman," cloaked and
motionless. He halted us wu approached,
and discovered to us our sleepless General.
We were told by nn nido w ho accom
panied him, that on the fearful night when
he made his forced march from Fredeticks
burg, to restore Hooker's right upon the
giving way of the 11th Corps, that w hen lie
had placed his troops, he rode "front" to
reconnoitre, until he came within sight of
the rebel pickets. This individual iccoti
noisanee led to an important discovery. To
wards morning he returned to his quarters
and laid down to repose. A rapid musketry
firing occurring at that moment, he rose up
from his couch, told his aide to remain, as he
had seen enough for that night, mounted
his horse.nnd hastened in the directiou of the
tiring. The next day he had 110 chance to
rest.
General Reynolds' services at Pope's hap
less struggle at liull Run were of the highest
order. The history of the war will tell of
his movements, and the important part he
took in saving our routed troops. One gal
lant and cliilviiric act, that partakes of the
romance of the palmy days of knighthood,
was performed by our noble General, nt the
close of that disastrous action, which we
will repeat, and with it close our long com
munication. Our mishandled army was de
feated. The enemy, in full triumph, had
gathered his forces to pierce his wavering
lines, and hold the Warrenton pike, thus
preventing the withdrawal of our broken
masses. General Reynolds saw the move
ment, and led his valiant division in a tierce
churge again.'t the rebel column. A deadly
struggle followed, when the combatants
met. The troops that supported the Re
set ves gave way, and destruction threatened
them. At this juncture the llug-staff of the
Sixth regiment was struck by a ball and
broken in twain. The colors were picked up
by Major Dot. The General eagerly asked
for them, waved lliein as he rode up
and down the line, animating the sore press
ed soldiers, und w ih the ringing exclama
tion "Forward, men, nnd show .them how
we can uphold the honor of our good old
Commonwealth !" led in the grand charge
thut saved the road and the army.
It is no wonder that he became a promi
nent figure in the w.ir.acknowlcdgcd by both
sides to be one of our foremost men. At
Gctt '.nrg, the prisoners boasted that they
had killed our Jackson. His death was a
severe bereavement to General Meade, who
said lie had "lost not only a lieutenant of
the utmost importance, but a friend, aye,
even a brother." I'i ntiylvania is proud of
his f one. In coming years he will be re
garded as one of the grand heroes of our
hi-.tory. We w i.-h some worthier pen would
uive a full sketch of his life and services.

The Westminster Gtut tte declaims against
too much physical exercise, and expresses
the opinion that physical development is
liable to be carried too far. It says:
Of course it is a very grand thing to be
able to maintain one's light against half a
doen coal heavers, or to ligure as the cham
pion of 1111 injured respectability against
blackguardism, us Sir Robert Clifton did a
little time buck iu the public streets. But
th'-ee are exceptional eaes, and a few men
can be pointed out who are distinguished
both as pugilists and scholars. Rut the
greatest and iio'.-t dangerous abuse, nnd one
that ought most sedulously to be discourag
ed among young men, is w hat is technically
known a "training." Who can appreciate
the indignant .periods of the ancients when
they decry the insane discipline of over-,-iitiiii-iasiic
athletes? Then, as now, they
studied to bring their bodies to a premature
perlcction at the expense of both mind and
body lor the remainder of their lives. Those
who' have gone through the severest training
become in the end dull, listless, nnd subject
to numt rons diseases, and in many instances
the ultimate victims of gluttony nnd drunk
enness. Their unnatural vigor seldom lasts
more than live years. It was especially re
marked by the Greeks that no one who in
boyhood won the prize at the Olympic games
ever distinguished himself afterward. The
three years innne.iiateVy preceding seventeen
are years of great mental development, and
Nature cannot at the same time endure any
severe taxing of the physical constitution.
Prudence, therefore, especially at this criti
cal period of life, must ever go hand-in-hand
with vigor, for the evils of excess outweigh
by far the evils ol dctic'.ency. Rut, as long
as due bounds ate preserved, athletic sports
may ever be hailed as the best friends both
of mind and body. The Duke of Welling
ton is reported to have said, when ho was
looking on at a cricket match, that ns long
as these were the sports of Englishmen,
they need never fear invasion. To this we
think we may add a more powerful encour
agement, for we sincerely believe that, as
long as athletic sports hold their proper
place in our educational establishments, we
need never fear the invasion of degeneracy
nor the tyrranny of ignorance.
Base ball talk in certuin States is getting
as full of slang as the P. R. "Daisy-cutters,'"

the last version "of taking it oc the fly."

St. Paul, Minnesota, may be justly claim

held the first rank in the fur market of
America. It was supplied from the great

plains. But the most of the trade was in
buffalo robes. These do not strictly come

Propagation by Catting.
The Gardener's Monthly for September
gives the following good practical directions
fo,r propagating ornamentals by cuttings in
the open air, which may now be too late for
the extreme north, but will do for the Mid
dle States, and will answer anywhere sno
thcryesr: The best way f o ptnpsgale all the common
kinds of bedding plants is to take a frame
or hand glass aud set it on a bed of very
sandy soil made in a shady place in the open
air. The sand should be fine and sharp, and
there is, perhaps, nothing better than ritor
sand for this purpose. The glass it be
whitewashed on the inside, so as to afford
additional security against injury from the
sun's rays. Into this bed of sand, cuttings
of half-ripened wood of tbo desirable plants
may be set, and after putting in, slightly
watered. Even very rare plants often do

Harvkstiso Carrots. Mr. Ware, of
Marblehead, stated to the Board of Agricul
ture the method of harvesting carrots as
practiced there, as follows :
Our method is to top them, cither with a
hoe or shovel, (we generally use a shovel,)
aud then use a Bubsoil plow ; and so far
os my experience goes, it is the only use to
which a subsoil plow can be put to any ad
vantage in our county. Previously to plow
ing, the tops arc raked off the field, so as to
be entirely out of the way. We then run
the sub-soil plow directly by the side of the
row of roots, which lifts them out of the
ground about two inches ; then with potato
diggers, forks or hoes, we go along and rake
them out, so as to lift them from the ground
and throw them inward, leaving room for
the team fo go through again.- We first
turn aback furrow in tbo centre of the piece,
and go rouud that back furrow, drawing
the carrots into tbe centre, aud leaving a
space for the horse or ox to travel, without
treading upon the carrots. That leaves
them spread all over the surface of the
ground. We do that in the forenoon; we
pick them up, throw them into the carts,
and put them into the cellar. That gives
about half a day's time for the carrots to
dry ; and in picking them from the ground
and throwing them into baskets, the dirt ia
mostly shaken oft'; so that, if the weather
is suitable, and dry weather ought to be
chosen for the harvesting of roots, they
will go into the cellar dry, which, in my
opinion, is very important. SUUe Agricul

ItUCIPKS, An:
Greek Tomato Sauce. Chop four quart,
of green tomatoes, one quart of green pep
pers, one pint of ouions ; then add four
large spoonfuls of cinnamon, four of mus
tard, four ot cloves, one cup of brown su
gar, one cup of salt, one quart of vinegar.
Cook slow about four hours.
Stuffed Peppeus. Take large bell pep
pers, cut off the tops aud takeout the seeds;
have ready a quantity of finely cut cabbage,
scraped horse-radish, white mustard seed,
(and if convenient nasturtion seed ;) stuff
each pepper and sew the cover on ; put in
each pepper two or three whole cloves and
allspice ; then put them in salt and water,
and let them stand twenty-four hours.
Place them in stone jars and cover them
with scalding vinegar, keeping them close
ly covered.
To Pickle Ccccmbers. Select small cu
cumbers, put them in salt and water for
two or three days ; then put them in stone
jars and cover them with boiling vinegar ;
for each gallon of vinegar used add halt an
once of whole allspice, half an ounco of
whole cloves, and a piece of alum as large
as a walnut. Keep closely covered.
GliAi-u Wikk. I made some good wine
last year of the Concord grapes, by taking
the berries that had fallen from tbe bunch,
and some with the skin of the berry hurst
ed, and another lot of the bunches w hich
were on the ground, where I was layering
the vine, and the fruit was in the dirt. I
mashed them up in a tub, and left the mash,
without pressing, four or five days in open
casks, in the warm air, until fermented, like
a tub of milk in hot weather. The wine
looked and tasted ea though it was soured
and spoiled. I added one to two pounds
sugar to the gallon, set it in the cellar, let
it ferment, then bunged it up. I was just
sick enough in June to try the Concord
wine, aud it helped ine wonderfully. Many
people unaccustomed to wine get the idea
that good wine is a sweet nectar. My wine
is as sour as good, desirable sour eider, aud
it is pronounced So. 1 American wine. I
have some that was pressed immediately after
it was masked. It is a whiter and sweeter,
but, for my taste, not as good as tho sour.
Caknino Grapes. To can grapes, make
a syrup of a quarter of a pound of sugar for
one pound of fruit. Put tbe grapes whole
into the scalding syrup and skim them out
soon, and let them partly cool ; it prevents
the berries from breaking ; tbeu put them
into a can, either glass or tin (if glass, beat
it so as not to break). Then pour in a little
hot syrup ; then put a piece of paper ia tha
can to cover the fruit ; then fill up with hot
syrup, and seal. After scalding the grapes,
1 sometimes put then) through a colander or
sieve, and take out the seeds. I am told by
an experienced grape canner of Ohio that
tbe grapes are much better to take out the
seeds and leave the skins in.
Now, I repeat, that canned grapes and
tbe preserved grapes, aa my wife call tbe
pulp freed nf seed, is one of the very best
fruits that I get In the way of preserved
