THE BRAVE OLD PLOW.
A song to the plow, the brieve old plow,
That hath ruled the wide world o'er,
For life and pood fare on hi Strang tcol bnr
Bhall depend for evermore (
There is strength In hi beam, as th toiling team
Turns the furrow so long and deep,
Wlille It mellows the soil, wa have trust In God
That His promise He'll surely keep.
Then a health to the plow, the brnvc old plow,
Who hath fed all the nations gone (
And glory as now to th brave old plow
When a thousand years have Hewn.
Thou hast seen the tlmo when no pealing hime
Was heard tha wide world through
When the King' broad hall and the cottage small
Of a Christmas never knew,
And many a day along tho highway
Have hundreds starving lain,
They are dead, the); are p one, to earth' bosom
borne, '
But the plow It still doth reign.
Then Ood epeed the plow, the hrav old plow,
Who hath fed the nations gone,
And glory ns now to tha brave old plow
When a thousand years have flown.
Thou hast seen the time, lu many a clime,
When the bread was bald to win,
When both great and small, at hunger' call,
Were led into deadly Bin t
But thou ne'er can st any tbou hast seen the day,
When want bowed the strong man's head,
The rlghteou man' seed, in his greatest need,
Ever begged for his daily bread.
Then God speed the plow, the brave old plow,
Who hath fed all the nations gone
And may glory as now encircle th plow
When a thousand year have Hown.

SOLDIER' LAND BILL.
The following is tho text of tho soldiers'
homeslcnd bill as it passed tho Houso of
Representatives oil 13st inst., by a vote of
IS. to 2. It is, we think, a just bill, aud
cannot benefit lund speculators, for the rea
son that it requires actual settlement of tho
soldier on the land :
A Bill to enable honorable discharged sol
diers and sailors, their widows and or
)irait children to acquire homesteads on
the public lands of the United Elates.
lie it enacted ly the Senate and House of
Jtcprctcntttiets of the United Htntcs of
America inCongrcss anserulled, Ttint every

served sections of public lands along the
line of auy railroad or other public work,
or other lands subject to entry under the

wherever public lands havo been or may
be granted by acts of Congress : i'roviifett,
That said homestead settler shall be allow

WAsmxaTOW, Dec. 2t, 1870.
Washington isn't a remarkable good
place for limocrnts j'.st at this time. Tho
Ablishnists are in power, nnd everybody
seems to realize the fact. The hotel keep
ers nil know it. They all know that a
Dimocrnt kin hcv notbiiv to make here,
and, tz a cousekenco, when ouo uv us
makes his appearance ho is unanimously
rckested to pay afore ho registers his name.
It was not so under Johnson. The laud
lords all knew that cf wo hedn't money, all
we had to do wuz to get on good terms
with Johnson and we cood git it, and credit
wuz then attainable. In cousekcncc uv
this inhuman suspichen uv men uv my ap
pearance, I am not patroniscn a hotel in
Washington at present. 1 take my meal
at free lunches and repose at night under a
bridge. It is sometimes cold and some
times damp, but cz I hevn't any money I
prefer it. Its at least free. I'm not ham
pered by hours, or exposed to tho sttprr
ciliousins uv hotel clerks with dia
mond pins. I brcatho the free air uv hevin,
mixed slitely, uv course, with tho odors
from an adjoining livery stable, wich ia,
however, a good thing, cz it reminds me
that 1 am uv earth, and uv earth earthy.
Tho nilu il'Creery, uv Kentucky, intcr
dooced his resolushen restoriu tho Arling
ton estate to the lice family, and also pro
vidin for the diggin up uv tho Federal sol
jcrs wich wuz berried there, I went to sleep
full uv that idea. 1 wuz rejoist beyond
cxpreshen, for 1 saw iu that movement a
return to suthiu like a sense uv juslis on
the Government toward tho people of the
South, wich failed to bust it. Goin to sleep
with my mind full ttv this, I dreamed a
dream.
Iu my dream, my mi ml o'crlecpcd two
ycers. I found myself standing in the
croimd made clnssiclu by its wunst heriu
bin owned by Cum. Lee. I wuz amongst
tho monuments and bed ctone commemora
tin the dead hirelins who wuz beneath cm,
and wuz iuduluiu iu a Bpnsin ur cussin the
government wich not only yoosurped pro
perty uv tho great and good Lee, but wich
desecrated it by using it as a cemetery for
its ded eoljers. While thus inubitt, I saw a
regiment, moro or less, uv Federal soljcrs
enter the cemetery, annnd, not with nius
kits, but spades and picks. At their hed
wuz men drest iu grey, wich I recognized
cz cx-Confudrit officers, who wuz a directiu
the forco.
To my astonishment the men in bloo,
every man uv cm with an cxpreshen uv
hoomiliashen such ez I never saw ckalled,
commenst knockiu down tomb stuns and
pilin cm uv, after wich they dug up the
graves, and histiu out skeletons uv the
skeletons uv the duad hireliu, dtimjied etu
iieriuiskus iu Federal army wagons with
hed arrived foi the purpose.
"Wat does this mean T" I askt tho Con
fedrit officers who seemed to have charge
uv the proceedings.
"Mcau 1" ho returned ; it means that at
last tho era uv good fceliu" hez returned.
It means that at last the i)imocriey is in
power, and that the proper equilibrium hez
Lin restored."
"What yeur is this ?" I asked in aston
ishment. "873. Tho clecksheu last full made
JTolVman President, aud tho Congress is
Dimocratic likewise. Ilolliniiu was nog
gorated day before yesterday, and towunst
commenced recouslruutiu, accordin to our
idee."
Wat is tho programo ?" I asked.
MXrccry nnmeiitly interdooced 1110
same resoloohhcn wich wuz defected in 1K70,
gtvin back Arlington estate to the l.e
i'amilv. aud removiu tho dead Fedral sobers
that tho site thereof mite not oll'eud lira
youthful Lees. Tho South wuz at waust
satisfied. It wuz good eutttl, cz tar ez it
weut, but they wanted suthiu more. They
wanted an nckuulliiicmcut that them ded
soljcrs never shood have bin there, and
they demuudeu that ackuolhgemeut be
made in sich way it wood be understood
that it wuz an apology. Kaulsbury uv
Delaware got tho idee. Iiumcjitly ho
moved to amend the resoloosUen. provided
that thu work uv removiu the ded soliers
aud refctorin the grouuds bo iktIi rtuva by
vclrau Fedral soljcrs, selected from all the
regiments lu the set vis, cz a tooken uv
the regret ur tho Government for having
desecrated the properly, wich wuz promptly
passed. To further soothe tho Southern
mind, a hundred Coufedrit otticcra wus
rikested to take coinnuud uv the mcu aud

How Kaix MFoitJTBD. To ttuilcrstat)d
the philosophy of this phenomcuou, tsei.
tial to the very existence of plants and
animals, a few facts, derived from observa
tion nnd n long trnin of experiments, must
be remembered.
Wrro the ntinosphero every where, nt all
times, at u uniform teinperalute, we should
never have rain, hail, or snow. The witter
ab8or!d by it in evaporation from the sa
and the earth's surluce would tlecend In an
imperceptible vnpor or cease to be absorbed
tjy tno 'v when it was once fully saturated.
1 he absorbing power of tho atmosphere,
nnd conoequently its capability to retain
humidity, is propoi lionably greater in cold
'-nan warm nir. una air near the surface
of the earth is warmer than it Is in thu
region of tho clouds. Tho hiuher e aa-
ceud from the earth, the colder the atmos
phere. Hence the pcrlunl snow on very
high mountains iu the hottest climates.
Xow, when from evaporation the air is
highly saturated with vapor, though it be
invisible, it its temperature is suddenly
reduced by cold currents descending from
above, or rushing from a higher to a lower
latitude, its capacity to retain moisture is
uitiuuuiica, clouds are lormed, and the re
suit is rain. Air condenses as it cools, and
like a sponge filled with water and com
pressed, pours out water which ils dimin
ished capacity cannot hold. How singular
yet how simple is such an arrangement tor

The following is an old r, tory, familiar
with the stcamboatmen of tin Ohio and
the Mississippi, but good enough to be re
told occasionally, if it is old : ....
A specimen of the genus "Hsidr" wus
found by Copt. , of the sterner , in
tho engine room of his boat w Mia lying at
Louisville, one line morning. The Captaiu
inquired what he was doing there.
"Have you seen Capt. Ferry i" was the
interrogative respones. ,
"Don't know him ; nnd can't tell what
that has to do with your being in my eu
gine room," replied the Captain ntjgrily.
"Hold on, that's just what Iwas gettiujf
at. You sec, Captain Ferry asked me to
take a drink, and so I did. 1 knew that
1 wanted to dnuk or I should not have
been so dry. (So Captain and I went to
the ball. Captain Ferry wa putting ou
tome extras on one toe. 1 sung out, "Go
it, Capt Ferry, if you bust your biler."
With that a man steps up to me, says he :
"Sei here, stranger, you must lenve." SSay
I, 'What must I leave fur 'i" bays ho,
"You're a tuakin' too much noise." Say
I, "I've been in bigger crowds than this,
and didu't leave nuthcr." With thai he
; took me by the naie of tho neck and the
, scut of my breeches and I left.
1 ever ho was, or ho wouldn't havo kept up
such a tremendous racket. . By and by
says a voice, 'I.I you dou t cpon, I'll bust
in the door.' And so ho did. I put on a
bold face, and says I, '.Stranger, docs this
wouiuu belong to you V bays ho, 'Siho
docs.' 'Then,' said I, '.She's a lady, I
think, from wlwt 1 have seeti of her.'
"With that he came right at mo, with a
bowio knife iu cue hand uud a pistol in the
other, and Uiug a little pressed for room,
I jumped thnugh tho window, leaving a
