BY JOBEHILNE MORSE Blest be the band that for a child prepares A simple pleasure In after years it sprinlgs *Mid life's cares A blooming treasure. A poor lad stood, with tattered garments clothed, And shoeless feet, Beside a wooden palling, that enclosed A garden neat. • With koging eyes he gazed up o n the flowers, Blossoming there, In the still brightness of the Sabbath hours And dewy air. Forth from his humble hut the owner came— A wood-cutter was he— To deck his button-hole for church, his aim, With sweet anemone. He saw the boy, and from his blooming store He chose with care ; A bright carnation to the child he bore, Of all most rare. No word was said, but home with bounding tread, Hastened the boy ; His bright eyes glistened as he onward sped with grateful joy. * * * * * * Long years have passed, and o'er that youth ful brow, So gorgeous then, The feosts of age have graven, gently now Three-scosre and ten. The flower hath long since faded, but again Afresh it blooms, And casts 'midst memories of grief and pain, Its sweet perfumes. • 'Tie ever thus; a kind deed never dies, Then& undeserved; Within the casket of the hes.d it lies By God preserved! A WOMAN'S STORY. We had no riches 1. our daily labor Was all the wealth we could hops to win ; But we built in our heart a royal pal a ce For Love's own angels to enter in. Our lowly future we often painted With tender dreamings of household joy— Sweet thoughts that thrill in a woman's bosom, And a true heart's service without alloy. Three days of leisure we mama together, One golden summer, by rock and wave, But when the leaves fell with reddening rustle, The churchyard grass lay above his grave ! And I, fiche had thought to rest securely On the brave young heart that was all my own, Had to bury my grief, and go forth, un shielded, • to toil in the weary world alone But he never knew me worn and faded, My brown hair ailver'd. my eyes grown dim— To the last he saw me through love's own • splendor, And he took that image to Heaven with him. So I fondly think when my task is ended, And the long'd-for rest shall my brow en fold, He will meet me first on the hills of Eden, And I shall be fair, as in days of old ! The Spirit of Southern Women. A correspondent writing to a Richmond paper, speaking of the rebel women, says : "Who in these times of privation and suffer ing have made more sacrifices than the wo men of our Confederacy ? I have seen them —the wife, mother and maiden—send forth their loved ones in defense of their eonntry, , with cheerful words, while they crushed back the tears to be shed in secret. Thave seen them hover over the Aick soldier's sick coa, ministering to his wants, when too feeble to send messages to his absent ones, woman's hand was ready to pen the lines for him, send ing hope and cheer to his fae away home: '1 hive known them to go for days without tasting food, to let the hungry soldier on a forced march have a meat. I bore ku them to sleep on the floor to let some sick defender of their homes have the Ikat bed in tlyNhouse--aye, I have seen them give the last plow to send to a hospital.

The number for October has int article giving the early life and business comer of John Grigg, lie,q,„ of Philadelphia, showing the leading traits of his truly original character, and the rules and principles which graded, him in the successful pur suit of fortune, from a beginning which was without either advantages of influ ence to push him on the road, except the indomitable will, the clear head, the steady perseverance, economy, energy, enterprise, observation, knowledge and industry which mark the career, of all eminently successful men. We have not the space to follow the career of this gentleman, as it is given in the Magazine, but some of his experiences in that career are applicable to every in dividual engaged in a similar undertak ing, and is knowledge cheaply bought, if turned to good account. Speaking of economy, the biographer says : "The want of economy, the waste of time and money in small and useless pleasures and indulgences, which prevail in these degenerate days, is often de plored by Mr. Grigg, and he has ex pressed the half-humorous apprehension, that the vast volume of knowledge which he and his brethren of the book trade have . contributed to swell, for many years, has been of little avail against the instincts of the animal man, which seem stronger than his boasted reason. But he has the comfort or the reflection that if this is the case with mankind, it is their own fault, not the booksellers'. If the young can be indu ced to begin to save the moment they enter on the path of life, the way will ever become easier before them, and they will riot fail to obtain competency, and that, without denying themselves any of the real necessaries and comforts of life. Mr. Grigg adds thin testimony to that of other successful men, that the first few thousand were 'more difficult to aoquire than alt the rest of their for tunes." . • • Alluding to the too common practice of living extravagantly beyond one's means, we have these comments : " Moreover, living beyond one's means is only smooth language for liv ing on other people's means; like 'fail ure," which is soft euphony for bankrupt cy. Without money a man cannot live well or ill. But if the money you Ere on is not yours, it must belong to others; it is the poor, the toiling poor, on whom the brunt of this mean recklessness fiats. And yet, perhaps the spendthrift him self, sleepless, with the cares, shifts, and evasions of hopeless indebtedness, sick, body and soul, Obr body and soul suffer together from the same tortures,) and racked by the strain after what is be yond his means and reach, is the great est sufferer and the most to be pitied. And the root of all his misery is the ruin of the domestic happiness of thou sands, who forget that prosperity can only be attained by living within one's income." The following are also valuable sug gestions in business : "To economy, the business man must add industry and self-reliance. He must not take too much advice. Mr. Grigg has almost always been in situations where the responsibility of deciding and acting has fallen on himself. Hence a habit of self-reliance, which is not, perhaps, safe to the same degree in all men. But of the necessity in general of seeing with one's own eyes, of judging for oneself, of looking upon events with tabu self possession, and of acting upon one's own conclusions in most cases, there can be no doubt. The business man must keep at the .the helm himself, and 'steer his own ship.' "To avoid excessive credits is the ne cessary corollary, the great practical ap plication of the precept of pelf-reliance. i Credit is one, of the great elements of business, but, illze some 9f those of the natural world, as dangerous as it is use ful. It is a remarkable fact, that during the whole coarse of his business career he never asked a man to endorse a note I for him, mad, aceording to our idea, this is one great secret of his success.— Mr.,Grigg says there are three elements equally beneficial In their use equally destructive in their abuse', and these , three elements are fire, water, and I banks! "The business man Must attend to the min/aim too, see that the store is opened early, goods isrushed up, twine and nails picked up, and all ready for action, like I the.deek of a man-of-war ! The noes- 1 sity of attending to mitnitim, in thiw, small -as well as great, seems to have atr?ngly impressed itself upon Mr. 1 Grigg's mite. A yormg nun should I .eer capital, he Itas:said, if hekave I it, or as he may sequimet it, Mon* se' tools put , into his hands with inibiehhe iwto work, not ' as a substitute for tits. hernsaity o 4 ham Or, if yen *we, trpetal is the flying artillery of business, tad to the quick evolutions and El - eperutons of ttede, mut _, . 4 Ono to )uleept'reaity anit# eceturA hit, not fit to tke'Thade tie la* Ultheace indiwias of war." i 4 t'thirl!MOd of the = MES(APiTaX SUCCESS. fk WIFE'S INFLeENOE. Judge O'Neal, in-the Yorkville A- Suifer, tell the following of Judo-e Wm. mith, ofilouth "HO bad the rare bless* to in the love cif one of the piwt, apildie4, and best women, wbOse charec* has ever beim present to the writer..

This course en her part, hum bled him, and made him weep like a child. This sentenee, it, is hoped, will be remembered, was the longtime of Judge Smith to the Wend alret* named, an)(1 ,to those who knew the stern, unbending public character of the Judge, it will teach a lesson of how much a patient woman's love and devo tion, as he himself told it : The evening before the Return Day of the Court of Common Fleas, for York District, a client called with fifty mitek; 4,4a,be put-in Suit; Mr. ! kai4ito was not his, oiliee.—he on wl4, is now fashionably called h spree--4hen ii frolic. Mrs. Smith received the notes and sat down in the office to . the work of issuing the writs and -processes.— She spent the night' at work—Mr. Smith in riotous living. .At daylight, on his way borne from his carousals, lie saw a light in his office, and stepped in, and to his great surprise saw his amia ble wife, who had just completed what ought to have been his work; with her head on the table and asleep. His en try awoke her. She told him what she had done, and showed him her night's work—fifty writs and processes. This bowed the strongman, 'he fell on his knees, implored pardon, and then prom ised her never to drink another drop while he lived.' 'This promise,' says my friend Col. Williorns, 'he faithfully kept,'• and said the Judge to him, 'from that day everything. which I touched turned to gold.' "His entire Success in life,' says Col. Williams, "lie set down to his fitithful observance of this noble promise.' "No better eulogy multi be pronoun ced on Mrs. Smith then has just been given in the words of her distiuguished husband. The reformation of such a man in William Smith is a chaplet of glory which few women have been per mitted to Wear. To the people of South Carolina, and especially of York District; certainly no stronger argument in favor of temperance, total absti nence, need be given." Hindman's Tyranny. Hon. E. W. 0-antt's address to the people of Arkansas gives the following interesting sketch of two young Texans in illustration of the savage cruelty of Hindman, who commanded in that part , of the Confederacy : "The story of the two young Texas soldiers I have often heard, and never heard it contradicted. They were twin brothers ; young, handsome, and spright ly. Having just entered the service, and from a State noted for its peculiar ideas of personal freedom, they suppos ed that a few days absence from camp without leave would subject them to nothing more than a slight camp pun ishment. And having relatives a few miles in the country whom they had not seen for years they concluded to visit I them. Poor fellows'. Hindman was fresh from Bragg They were hunted down, summarily tried, convicted, and I the sentence approved in one day : I The young men in person urged their youth and experience as au excuse, and begged hint to let them live,' assuring him they would show him, if spared, what soldiers they would make. Their ' gray-haired sire, bearing about his ,per son the marks of wounds received at the Almo, and upon the battle-fields of Mex- ' ico, with breaking heart, bowed before him and craved pardon for his thought less and innocent boys. And women, struck with their youth and innocence, with tears and entreaties implored mer cy for the unfortunate youths. But in vain ! The tyrant was inexorable.— the noble boys fell, after a tender and touching farewell, victims to the ambi tiOn of one who was misled by the era- city of Bragg, and who, in adoptingJ the latter's discipline, took up the club of Hercules, and so, not being able to wield it, degenerated into a mere mur derer. Epicurean Dishes. Anti Are eaten in many countries.— In Email the largest species are prepar e 4 with a sauce of resin., In Africa they stiff them with butter.

Exemption from the Draft The enormonsUninber of drafted men who'eseaped military duty by reason of physical infirmity has produceda change in the regulations of the Provost Mar shal General. A new list of causes of exemption is filiblished, in which the cat alogue of evailabie Maim - lies is considera bly reduced. Near-sighted men, who flattered themselves that their deficient eyesight formed a perpetual bar against the imposition of military obligations, are suddenly and hopelessly bereft of the consolation derived from the infliction:at "myopia,",fbr, under the new rule,. myopic imividitals who are really too near sighted tof efficient field service, are to be transferred to the Invalid Corps. "Neer-sightedness does not exempt," is the stern decree of the Marshal ; hence, spectacles will not be so popular hereall ter. Fat men, however, whO are pro verbially jolly people, have a new cause for good huMor, for it is ordained that "abdomens grossly protuberant" or "ex, cessive obesity," are sufficient for exemp tion from any draft whatever. it is likely that nutritious food will be in great demand for the reinpinder of the winter. Imbeciles, insane, epileptic and paralytic persons are of course exempt, but the list of maladies through the pos session of which a drafted man may, evade duty is 4osely gstricte4 and defined that the next dndit; will 'probably produce a larger proportion, of service,able soldiers than the last. Examining sur geons are .also required to report the number of men rejected under each of the forty-one sections of the pew set of regulations, from which it is to be in ferred that, a very curious official record of the comparative souutduw=gof Ameri can constitutions may hereafter see the light. Remarkable Scene in Court. James Sutherland, who has been on trial at Indianapolis for font days for killing Roddy A. Small, was acquitted on Thursday. His wife and three chil dren were in court at the time. • After the announcement of the verdict there followed a scene, says the Indianapolis Journal, not often witnessed in a court room. The prisoner that was—:a pris oner now no longer—fell upon his knees, and lifting his eyes toward heaven, ut tered an earnest prayer of thanksgiving and praise to the God, whose justice and mercy bad been so wonderfully manifes ted in him. The prayer was irresistibly eloquent, and when Amen was pro nounced, Amen came back in response from every part of the room, and there were tears in every eye. All rose to their feet ; the acquitted man advanced and took each juryman by the hand with a fervent "God bless you You have saved an innocent mar from shame and disgrace ; you have taken a foul stain from my name. God bless you !" And to the prosecutor, whose conduct in the case commands admiration from all for ttirness and honesty, he gave a cordial "God bless you!" The old white-haired fitther, whose firm trust had supported the son in the dark hours of trial, now melted in tears of joy that his boy was acquitted of guilt, and his own good name remained untarnished. The judge, wipiug his eyes of the tears that had come unhidden, ordered the Sheriff to adjourn the court. ..•.. The "Sewing Girls" of New York About four hundred sewing girls in New York are on a strike for higher wa ges. Referring, to a meeting of these female "strikers," the Post says : —State ments of the atnounts received for their labbr in-various trades were made, by whiek it appeared that the prices ranged from one, to three dollars per week. The average, price paid, takitig all trades rep resented together, was about two dollars per , week. There were cases mentioned where the employers favored particular girls, giving them better wages, but re quiring them not to tell. The price paid for board was stated to be from $2.25 to $3, not including Washing, hi m rst eases taking evAry cent that a girl could earn, and hardly ever leaving her,mare than tweuty-five or fifty cents a week fur all extra ewenses. There were cases men tioned tot' girls who supported mothers or. younger sisters or brothers. The hours et work range front eleven to sixteen. hours, each day, the general' hours at thp, shops being fcoin seven, in the morning to sii° or 'seven lit night, with' half ah hoar or 4/mo4:porters of an , hour - for dinner.

My attention *to catled to tit% sub ject by the proceedings 'nf the Vermont Wool -Growers' Convention . as reported in the Seini-Weekly Tribune of *item ber 12, 1862, in whiek.thaopinion seem ed to prevail that it.was nekyrotitable to wash sheep, for the following reaaosis, via: It was an expensive, unpleasant job, and unhealthy for man and sheep ; that unwashed sheep can ho sheared ear- . her than washed, and thereby gain a heavier - coat of Wool for their protection the next winter that the manufacturer can cleanse the wool cheaper than the grower, and that the disposition of man ufacturers to buy unwashed wool was largely increasing. The buyer makes about twenty-five per cent. difference between washed and unwashed wool, but no discrimination between that which is thoroughly clean and that of a man who has only washed his sheep to make his wool sell at a higher price, while it is but little cleaner than that sheared without washing. The Convention seemed to be unani mous against washing sheep, and if it is unprofitable to wash sheep in Vermont, why not here ? For the length of time required, I consider it the farmers' most expensive, perplexing and unhealthy job. I can afford, and am willing, to sell my wool for a number of cents less per fleece, unwashed, and am resolved to wash no mere sheep unless I becokne convinced, before the first of June next, that wool cannot he sold for its fair value unless it has undergone that old fogy process of being washed on the sheep's back. In the meantime, I would be glad to learn, from some candid manufacturer, the dif ference in expense, if any, between cleansing for the cards unwashed wool and that washed on the sheep's back in the usual manner. I introduce this subject thus early that wool-growers and buyers may give their views on it, if they think it worthy of consideration.—SoC).; firreneocx, Cone sus Centre, N. Rarul .Yew Yorker. A SUPERIOR COW. Mr. W. A. Comstock, of Coopers town, who says he has a "passion for good cows," sends to the Country Gea tlenum, a table in which is registered the weight of milk produced by one of his cows at each milking for the last six days of May and the months of June, July, August, and 2f“ days in Septem ber. The cow was milked and the milk weighed by Mr. C. during the whole period, and was as follows : Last six days of May 2iil pound:4. June 1,549 do. .July 1 475 do. August 1,188 do.
