THE MEMORY OF THE HEART.
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

last plow to send to a hospital. I have

The Merchant's Magazine devotes a
portion of its space to the biography of
successful men in the mercantile busi
ness—•a species of literature, which, be-,
sides the personal interest of which it
partakes, blends, usually, excellent
coon sense experience with the
sound maxis of trade. 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

Judge O'Neal, in-the Yorkville A-

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. In the
East, Indies they are caught in pits,
carefully roasted like coffee, and eaten
by mouthfuls afterwards. Mr. Smeath

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

female "strikers," the Post says : —State

whiek it appeared that the prices ranged
from one, to three dollars per week. The
average, price paid, takitig all trades rep

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

Shall we Wash OUP Sheep .?
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

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.
September... , . 1,315 do.
Total for 127 i days 5,788 pounds
Being an average of a fraction over 45
pounds per day for 127 f dity;.
Mr. Comstock says : "My cow is of
the native breed, so far Its I can learn,
and five years old last spring. She was
not dried off before calving, but contin
