THE KWORD or hlXTY-OSE.
CV tDWIUD 1U..HAUD.
IIo !.gallant farmers, tried and true.
For whom earth's teeming breast,
Brings icrth each year Us bounties new
And crowna the xreen hill's crest,
Pance for one moment from the plow
He fore yoar work be dona,
1'or to ! it gleams belore yon now
The sword of sixty one !
Leave, leave the alckle in the com.
Which turns from green to irold !
Gird wb thy loins at early morn
Ere yet the day RTOwa old !
Uo ! aet.the battle In array,
And tight the nitlit once more ;
Shout, ahcut them ticrct ly In the fray
The battle eriea of yore !
Not once or twice in bye-Kno years
Yea kit the team a Held ;
Left aoonda of home for alien ears ;
Left harveet-honie and yield.
Not ence or twice yon bared the broad
Hid roar and boom of gun, .
To charge fierce fbemen, sword is hand
The aword of alxty-one.
lint now that focmen stands at bay ;
The vanquished claims the enwn ;
Strike home ! for on an older day
Yon struck the treason down,
lie Miles the time to seise the feat.
Sore need to watch and wait :
lTp ! ap! the. watchword stern repeat
The foe la at the gite !
The Southern cross sets pale behind
The sere palmetto tree.
Where Ashley's sullen waters win I
To seek the sullen s ia ;
But atlll our banner holds each alar
Those stars yon nobly won
And still our emblem shines afar
The sword of sixty-one.
No more the battle's fearful din
Roars loud from shore to shore ;
Yet still we tight to lose or win
The rights our lathers wora.
The voice that bids the storm cloud lift
.Shall Eurely right the wrong.
For the race it Is not to the aailt,
Or the battle to the strmz.
On happy hearths of hundred b"ines
Where household fires are lit,
A sturdy aire who seldtm renins
The fanner, lovel to sit ;
Imt high above on whlte wuhrtl wall.
With bayonet bright and gun,
llunga, proudest trophy of them all,
The tword of sixty-one.
The hour has come, the hour has coma
To guard the prixe we hold ;
Amuse ! arouse '. though tonirucs be dumb
The wolf is In the lold !
Vp! up.' and hasten to the tight
The days are bright end lung ;
Ho, farmers ! rally for the right
Ten hundred thousand strong!
I see them break a shattered crow
I hear the lieating drums ;
Still floats our flag's bespangled bluo ;
The conquering hero comes :
Ami through the clouls that drift af.tr.
The war-clouds, dark and dun,
I sec it shining like a star
The sword of slxty-onc.
THE TOI .VU WIDOW.
"Uub the horse down and don't
feed bim until he perfect!?" cool."
The words were addressed to the
hostler of a hotel at HrightOD, br a
hsndnouio, niiddle-agtd gentleman,
dressed in tbo height of fashion, as
he alighted from an elegant l,lack
horse and tos?ed the reina to an at
tendant. 'And now," said the horseman,
addressing the waiter, "show mo into
a private parlor."
A well-dres6eu man. who rides a
handsome nag, is always sure of a
welcome at a public house all the
world over. Our iriend soon found
himself in a neat parlor, with flow
ers anu vases on tne mantla piece.
and the blinds for it was a fine sum
mer afternoon carefully closed.
while the open windows permitted
the free current of air to circulate
through the apartment
The rider remained Etaodiog near
the door.
"Any orders, tir ?"
"Xo ves, fits? who came in that
handsome pbeaton I Eaw standing in
the yard ?"
"A ladr, sir."
"Ah!""
"A young widow."
"Dab ! Go along and shut the
door atter you !" muttered the strange
traveler, testily.
"A young widow," he soliloquized;
"I am certainly very fortunate to
have attained the age of forty with
out any feminine attachment Pecu
niary independent not ill-looking, I
thick I must admit that I should
make what these busybodys, match
makers, call a grand catch. Cut
thank my stars I have happily pre
erved my content and independence,
so far, and am not likely to succumb
cow. .no: no: jack unapman was
born to live and die an eld bachelor.
And now lor the newspaper."
In the meantime another horseman
came to the hotel, his horse reeking

bbortly after Mrs. Leslie rang for
her phaeton, and at the same time
Mr. . Chapman rung for his horse.
The pony phaeton came round to the
front door and the young widow
stepped lightly into, the phaeton.
"All right," she eaid to Pat, with
a smile, nodding and taking the reins.
"Give him bis head."
"Och, it's all wrong," said Pat,
keeping a tight bold on the reins.
"Your carriage can take two inside."
"Very well; but I came alone."

'Jump in, sir.'
'I didn't come in a carriage.'
'In wid ye!' shouted the hostler
'lane a seat oesmo me If Too
please, sir,' said tne widow, with her
most fascinating smilo.
-Mr. Chapman approached the step
to inquire tne meaning, when the
ho3tler seized him with a vigorous
hand and thrust him into the phaeton
while the pony, startled by the move
me ut, dashed oil at a run.
Poor Captain Cbanman! Here
was a situation I Ai confirmed old
bachelor, baldly abdncted by a fasci
nating young widow. The captain
had to lend his assistance to the
voung lady in managing tbo ponv;
ior his assistance Mrs. Leslie told
him that in a few moments be should
be in possession of bis horse, which
ad been borrowed by a trontleman.
This was all the explanation she
vouchsafed. She required ia return
to be made acquainted with the name
of her companion, after giving her
own.
In a few minutes kho captain be
gan to be somewhat 'at ease in fact
be began to like his position. He
had never sat so car a pretty wo
man in ali his life, as her attention
was engaged upon her pony, he had
an opportunity to survey her fea
tures. Iler large, dark and luminous
eyes seemed to be literally swimming
their liquid lustre. Her cheeks
were as soft and blooming as the sun
ny side of a peach. Her profile was
strictly Grecian, and her parted lips
showed a row of pearly teeth as
white aa snow.
Do you live far from here, ma
dam?' said the captain.-
'.Not very far, the pony can mend
is pace u you are in a bnrry.
Not lor the world. The pace
seems to be a fast one.'
The widow turned those bewitch
ing eyes of hers on the old bachelor
and smiled. It was all over with
ini. When he sprang out at the vil-
and touched the ficgera of the fas
cinating widow, as he gently assisted
her to aught, bis heart was irretriev
ably lost.
A red faced old gentleman in a
dressing goti, p !itely received them
at the dot r
'My friend Caotain Chapman ' Eaid
the lady to him.
'Walk in warm day," replied the
latter.
Very,' said the Captain. And in
deed his locks seemed to corroborate
his statement.
The Captain and the old gentle
man were soon chatting together fa
miliarly, and the former felt himself
completely at home. And then the
bachelor was left alotie.
A dreamy reverie was interrupted
by tbo sound of voices in the hall.
The Captain easily recognized the
wid and a glance tbrongh the
half open door, sbowtd bim that her
companion was a handsome young
gentleman.
'There, dear Belle, eaid the young
man, 'dou'i scold me any more, I
will not do so again. Give me a
kiss.'
A hearty smack followed. It was
a veritable genuine kiss the Cap
tain saw and heard it A pang shot
through his heart.
'The oiily woman I ever could
love,' raid he to himself, 'and she en
gaged.' The idow tripped into the room,
if she was pleasing ii her carriage
dreBi she was perfectly bewitchiog in
in ber drawing-room attire. Chap
man oould now see tbe whole of that
foot
'My dear sir, said she, 'your horse
is at your service now.'
Chapman arose.
'But,' fbe auded, 'if yen nill stay
and take dinner with us, my uncle
will be very much delighted, and I
i-ball bo very highly pleased.
'The coquette,' thought Chapman.
'I am obliged to you, madam, but I
have an engagement,' he said.
'Then we en not hope to detain
you, sir, but you must allow me to
present yoo to my brother.'
The handsome younr man made
his appearance and shook hands
with the bachelor.
That's the horse thief,' captain,'
said the widow, laughing.
The young man apologised anJ ex
plained the circumstances which im
pelled him to take tbe liberty. 'I'm
sorry,' be added, 'that we cannot im
prove tbe acquaintance thus casually
made by enjoying your company to
dinner. I am sorry you are other
wise engaged.'
Why, as to that,' replied captain,
drawing off his gloves, 'your offer is
too tempting, and I feel compelled to
accept it"
So bis horse was remanded to the
stable, and he stopped to dinner.

After dinner tbey had music, for Mrs.
Leslie played charmingly. Then be
was persuaded to stay to tea- and in
the evening secured a tete-a-tete
with the widow in the prettr sum
mcr-bouse, ovegrown with Madeira
vines, and inhabited by a spider and
six ear-wigs.
It was ten o'clock when he mount
ed his horse to return to Brighton,
but it was bright moonlight, and he
was quite romantically inclined.
The next morning he repeated tne
visit, and tho next and the next. In
short, the episode of the borrowed
horse produced a declaration and an
acceptance, and though years have
passed away the Captain has no
cause to regret his ride witb the wid
ow in the pony phaeton.

The following incident told by a
doctor, will be read with profound
yet tender interest:
Tho testimony of the uyinr. so
long aa they are able to give any tes
timony, is that their sufferings do Oct
increase aa the determination of life
approaches, but on the contrary gTow
less.
The following incident illustrates
the truth of thia remark, aad, so far
as a single instance is of value, con
firms what has been said aa to the
painlessness of dissolution. A medi
cal friend, whom I attended profes
sionally in his last illness, was the
victim of a most painful disease, He
was aware of its incnrable character.
Supported by an intelligent faith in
God and immortality, be prepared
himself witb admirable courage and
unfaltering trust tor the final change.
In consequence ol continual and se
vere pain, he was obliged during tbe
last few moments of bis life to take
opium daily. He sent for me one
night soon after midnight. A brief
examination was sufficient to show
that tho end was near.
"Do these symptoms mean diaso-
utioa ?" asked Dr.
"Tbey do."
"Then I have reached tbe end of
the chapter," he quietly remarked,
aad added, "how long shall I proba
bly last ?"
"That you know," I said, "as well
as any one perhaps twenty-four or
thirty-six hours. " scarcely heeding
the reply, he continued
"I am ready ; but promise me this;
that I shall not suffer pain if you can
prevent it"
The promise, was, of course, given,
and I agreed to see him every honr
or two aa long as he lived. This bo
log done, I said to him :
"Oae thing remains, how shall I
communicate witb you when, at the
very close, the time comes that you
cannot indicate whether you suffer
or not ?"
After a 'little talk, the following
signals were agreed opon :
He was to indicate a negative an
swer, or No, by raisiog the foreOa-j
ger;andan arurmative auswer, or
Yes, by raising the fort-fioger and
tbe one next to it also. One Gotrrr
waa No ; two fingers Ye1. Hiving
arranged Ibis matter, he took rather
more than hia habitual d. of opiuru,
and was soon comparatit ly q iiet.
The pain did not return. Foriwtlve
or fifteen boors he appeared much
as usual ; conversed with lit fa uily
and friends, and waa rheer'ul ai l se
rene. Then, aa nature's a .a',tLeiic
began to act, he became dull aatl
heavy. In answer to repeated in
quiries aa to pain, he constantly re
plied in tbe negative. At length he
answered lesa readily. For an heur
or so before death he answered only
by the signal cf his fingers which
had been agreed upon, and by thst
signal he replied quickly and intelli
gently. Fifteen minutes before dis
solution I asked him :
"Do you euffer pain ?"
lie instantly made the negative
signal by raising hia forefiager. Af
ter this he made no sign, but slept
peacefully to tbe end.

Stock raising ia conceded by all to

and while this ia bountifully suppliml,
many other important interests sVe

Shelter and protection from bad
weather is cheaper than feed, even
here in our land of plenty. Then,
too, it sustains health and vigor that
enables tbe food to produce the best
results of growth and fat Barns
are, of course, desirable for tbe beat
stabling of animals, but if a barn is
not attainable, or too small for all
the stock, do not neglect them on
that account, but put op straw or
fodder sheds, protected on tbree sides,
open to the south, and yoo furnish
grateful shelter from storms that will
bountifully repay its cost svery year,
and you can soon build the barn with
your profits of the shed.
Pare water is also an important
consideration in successful stock rais
iog, as important to stock as to man,

have not the running brooks of New
England, good water is easily pro

cisterns with wind mills, so univer

AH this is well known to many peo
ple who wisely keep their own eoua-
sel, and save themselves from pecu
lation. But the love of praise or gain, in
duces men to talk of themselves and
assume to be what tbey are not; to
boast of 'characteristi .-s and posces
sions to which they are entire
strangers; to make their goods better
than tbey are. Constant talking
most tell too ranch of one's self, or tell
lies; neither of these is consistent
with tbe interests or happiness of
mankind.
A man's teterce is his true capital;

One of oar most prominent lawyers
went home the other day to diooer
and found that Lis little boy had his
head clipped, in accordance with the
style. Affecting not to notice it, ho
began to speak of the wonderful curi
osities on exhibition at Washington,
in the shape of a living creator, with
a form something like that of a bo
man being. It's head is round like ft
pampkin, iu ears stack ont like
clam shells on a cocoaaM, Its nose
projected like a figure four from what
seemed to be his face, It walked op
right, and its head was covered with
a growth of bristles, about one-sixteenth
of an inch in length, and for
want of a better name tbe creature
had been called tbe "What-is it"
And, placiag his hand on tit boy's
bead, tbe falser said :
"Why, here it now. Here's tbo
very thing I've been talking about"
The boy replied, as he buttered a
piece of bread.
"They've get a blamed sight worse
Icokiog things light hernia Peotia''
"What kind of a thing ia it ?" said
the lawyer.
"It is tbe father of the 'Wbat-ia-it,'"
replied the lad.
Tbe subject was dropped. Ttona
