A young married couple were walking

asked the young, beautiful wife. "Do you
already long for the city and its turmoil ? Are
YOW weary of my love ? I",u regret,l fear,

"Can nll the others together love you more
than Imy single self? Do I not suffice ? We
are rich enough, so that you nerd not work;
but if you absolutely must to something—
well, then, write romances and read them to
me alone."
The young man again replied with n kiss.
He then stepped across the ditch Into a stub
ble field and picked up a straw left by the
gleaners. It was an unusually One and large
straw, yet attached to its root and entwined
by the withered stalks of a parasitical plant,
upon which a single little flower might be
discerned.
"Was theta very rare flower you found ?"
asked the little lady.
"No ; it was a 'common hind weed.•"
"Yes, that Is the vulgar name. The bot
anists call it canvolvulus arren.qi% 'Flee peas

called tangleweed," Ile paused and gazed

"Pray, what interesting thing is it, then,

"It is in the flower ?"
"Yes ; the flower and—the straw."

N i " 'natter for that: I should like to hear
it very much."
She scaled herself on the edge of the grassy
bank ; her husbanil . dia the same close at her
side, and told the story of the straw.
At the outer edge (tin barley field, near the
ditch of the highway, grew a young, vigorous
barley ,hoot. It was taller, stronger, and
darker than the others; it could look over the
whole field.
Thy first thing it noticed nas a little violet.
It stood beyond, over tit. , miter ed4e . of tlie
ditch, and peered through the grass with its
innocent azure eyes. The sun shone, and
the bilmy nind breathed over towards the
field front the ro.al, where tic violet grew.
The young struts' rocked itself in spring.air
and spring dreams. To reach one another
was quite out of the question, they did not
even think about it. The violet was a pretty
little flower, hut it clung to earth and soon
disappeared among the grins. The barley,
on the contrary, shot up higher and higher
each day ; but the dark•green shoot still
above all the test. It rijoiced alrtatly in a
long full ear before any of the otht rs had
commenced to show their beards.
All ite surrounding flowers looked up to
the gallant ear of barley, 'rite scarlet poppy
blushed yt t a deeper red, whenever it swung
over it. The corn-flower made its aroma still
more piquant than usual, and the flaunting
yei.ow lield•enobage expanded its one bold
flower. By and by the barley-straw blos
somed in its manner. It swayed about now
hero, now there, in the balmy Mmosphere
sometimes bending over the poppy, and then
over the tare and 'wild field cabbage;

But in the grass at the ditch flourished a bind.
weialovith its small leafy vines; it bore delicate
snowy, and rose.calored flowers and emitted
delicate fragrance. To that the bayley.straw
bent longingly down.
" lon gallant straw," it smiled ; "bend yet
lower, that I may embrace you with toy leaves
and flowers."

The straw essayetl to do it, w Milts best will
but in vain.
" I cannot.," it sighed ; " but come to no,

tendrils into.the liell. It clung tenderly to
the slra'w, and covered itwlthgro n leaves and

And the weed Ins ned Its tender arms and
sank to the earth; but the straw continued to

The bindweed began to wither. Its flowers
grew more and more pale. " I have lint lived

It was one of the dark days. The Mow( ns

A Nabob's Visit to New York City
lll=
[As told by himself In the new book enti
tled " !toughing It," now In press. It is a
sample of the good things contained therein.]
In :Nevada there used to be current the story
and adventure of two of her nabobs, which
may or may not have occurred. I give It for
whet it is worth:
Colonel Jim had seen somewhat of the
world, and knew more or less of Its ways ;
but Colonel Jack was from , the back settle.
moms of the States, had led a life of arduous
toil, :Ind had never seen a city.
'nose two blessed with sudden wealth, pro•
jected a visit to New York—t.ol. Jack to see
the sights, and Col. Jim to guard his unto
phisleation front misfortune. 'Toy reached
Sun Francisco in the nizld and sailed in the
morning. Arrived in New York, Col. Jack
said :
I've heard tell of carria•zys all my life, and
now I nican to have it ride in one. I don't
cure what it coMs. Come along.
They stepped on the sidewalk and Col. Zion
callyd n ~y lish barouelte. But Col. Jack
said ;
No, sir ! None of your cheap John turnouts
for ins. hers to have a good time, and
1114.11 , y :dirt any ohj , et. I wean to have the
nohhiest rig that's going. Now here conies
the very nick. Slop that yeller one with the

Sn Cml. Juin stopped an empty minibus and
they gnt in. Col. Jan :
Ain't it gay though? Oh ! no,I reckon not.
Cu,hins, uiudnus, and pictures till you can't
rest. \V hat would the boys sqy if they could
see us cutting a swell like th's iu New York ?
By George ! I wish they could see us.
Then he put his IPud out of the window,
and shouted to the driver.
Say, Johnny, this suits me !—suits your's
truly, you bet I. I Want this shebang all day.
I'm on it. old roan ! Let 'cm out ! Mike 'em
go. We'll make it all right to you, sonny.

Ile said :
•• Don't say a word," he whispered. " Let

room enough."
The poop.; sly got out her pnrlemonnftie,
and handed her tare to Col. Jack.
\V hat'- this for'!" he said.
"Give it to the dr.ver, please."
"'rake back your nuiney,neulatn. We-can't
allow it. You are welcome to IL ride here as

The Orl shrank into a corner bewildered

" Excuse me," said ('ol. Jack. '• You are
perfectly welcome here, machnn, but we can't

count, and don't you feel the least uneasy.
Mahe yourself as free as it you were in your•

Within two minutes three gentlemen, two
lat Iromen, and n couple of children entered.
" Come right Mona, friends," slid Col.
Jack ; "don't mind us. is 11 free blow
out." Then he whispered to Col. Jim, " New
York ain't no name for it."
Ile resisted every effort to pass fares to the
driver, and etude everybody cordially wel
come. 'fl u • situation dawned on the people,
and they pocketed tlieir money, and delivered
themselves tip to con, rt enjoyment or the epi
sode. Ilalf a dozen more passengers entered.
" Oh, there is plenty of room, said Col. Jack.
Walk richt in and make yourselves at home.
A blow-out ain't worth anything RS a blow
nut, unless a hotly has company. Then in a
whisper to Col. Jim: But ain't these New
Yorkers frimnlly ? Anil ain't they cool about
it, too ? Icebergs ain't anywhere. I reckon
they'd tackle a hearse if it was vie' their
way
More passengers got in ; mire yet, and still
more. Both seats were (tiled, and a tile or men

We have before us Briggs & Brother's cat
alogue of flowers mid vegetable seeds, for 1872.
The outside appearance of the work, with its
highly embellished cover ni.d tint-edged leaves
would seem to indicate that the book comes
before us f a• notice froM some extensive litho
graphic minting t stablishment or illustrated
monthly printing hook.. Neuherguess would
he corii et. The publishers are seedsmen, said
to br the most extensive 'n ihe world; who
rake and sell dower and vegetable seeds, send
ing them In large or small quantities to all
parts of the country. They own no end of
gardens and farms, both in and out of New
I tot a2OO acre farm at Clinton,
Iowa; devoted expressly - to seeds, .and their
establishment at Rochester, has upwards of
60,000 feet of flooring, devoted ex clpsively to
Packing and shipping seeds.
But to revert to the catalogue before as, we
mast say, that it is more than was promised in
the advertisements of the Its typigraphy
is perfect. Its illustrated plates are models of
pictorial beauty. Its cm:tents embrace useful
hods upon the growth and raising of dowers
and vegetables, and are the results of years of
practical experience. l'he purchaser of a cat;
alogue (an order to Briggs' & Brother fur one
dollar's worth of seeds, secures it free,) also
receives an insight into what he may obtain on
certain conditions, in the way of one or two
chromo lithographs of flower Minuets; repre
senting bonnets of choice natural flowers,
raised by Briggs & Brother. These chrtunos
ore fully equal to the highest priced chromos
and are a fit ornament for whir or sit
ting room. The catalogue also contains two
representative engravings of the chromos, sod
parties ordering only one, which, without an
order for seeds, requires an enclosure of seven
ty.flve cents, can select which they prefer.
There Is no person interested in dowers,
house or garden plants, or engaged in the rais
ing of vegetables or market cereals, who can
not be henelited by the possession of tits val
liable and beautiful illustrated catalogue. An
enclosure of twenty-five cents, secures it pre
raid, and the amount In seeds is returned, If
an order follows the purchase of a catalogue.
We might say in explanation of the slight
delay in issuing the work, that Briggs &Broth
er have prolonged the time, In order to further
beautify the catalogue with representative en
gravings of their chromos, as well as to add
the. very latest novelties, both important and
native.

The ' Member from Allegatorville
Mr. J. W. DeForest, whose experience as
an Army officer has given him an insight in
to Southern life an it is, has n most a musing
sketch in the Galaxy for March of the charac
teristics of a new class of legislators who have
been Introduced to public life by the Fifteenth
Amendment, The appearance of "the color
ed member" at a public supper even by the
Governor is thus described :
l'ompy had never before drunic,ohatipagne
but his lifelong studies in whiskey.enabled
him to master the secret at the first jump, and
and he irretrievably damaged a quart bottle
of Mumm's Imperial. The result was that
he soon became such a cheerful man and broth
er that it all the other inhabitants of this foot
stool had been in the same condition it would
have been the jolliest footstool under the can
opy. Ile had some such exhilarating sensa
tions as If every curl In his wool were a Jews
harp, and all these jewsharps were combined
in an orchestra which played simultaneously
every jig in creation. Things went on in his
brain in a cross-aver-end-down-the-middle
style, as if it were the dance-room of a sailor
boarding-house, and the draw of a frigate had
just been paid off In the neighborhood. His
tongue was loosed, like that of Salaam's ass,
and he talked as glibly as that quadruped,
though less wisely. He whistled, and showed
off a step or two of his favorite breakdown,
and slapped perfectly unknown lawgivers on
the shoulder, and laughed like seven thunders
uttering their voices.
At last his two million or so of jewsharps
revealed to him a message to the effect that lie
ought to walk with a white lady. The Spea
ker's wife was that evening flirting miscell
neously with the colored members, for the
sake of securing her husband's re election to
his honorable and lucrative position. no for
India tninute Pompey Howard promenaded
among the stirs with the white kid glove of a
goddess of fashion just touching the sleeve of
his slop shop coat.
" Have you been presented to the Gover
nor?" asked the Speaker's wife, Who had
sorrowfully acquired a knack of getting rid of
people, and who was determined to get rid of
people, and who was determined to got rid of
the member from.Allegatorville, if she had to
push him out of a window.
"No. Whar is he ?" answered Pompey.,
falling Into the trap, though he wanted to walk
more with the white lady.
So the SataVr's wile introduced hint to the
Governor, who shook hands with him and
beamed on him as if he loved hint, and then
as quick us lightning introduced him to a par
ticular friend of his, whose business it was to
tote off colored members and dump them at a
distance, as if they were so many loads ot gar
bage.
Just as Pompey found himself dumped, the
doors of the supper room were thrown open.
Immediately there was such a rush as there
used to be into the dining halls of American
hotels, in the good old times when the gentle
manly proprietor always set halls dozen chairs
less than were necessary to seat his guests.
The white members and the colored all ran
and rampaged together, as if it were under
stood that the devil had a claim ou the hind
most. It was like a dam breaking away, and
carrying with it an Ice flood. The supper
room was packed before the first luau could
swallow a pickled oyster, and the crush, par
ticularly around the tables, was enough to
make dough of a rhinoceros. Every lawgiver
took his brother by the collar, and thrust his
elbow undetY his filth rib, and did for him.
Then came such a laying on of hands and
such a devouring, as if all the hungry giants
of nursery rhyme had been let loos: on Ills
Excellency's teed. Honorable gentle Men la
dled up jellies and raked in cakes and oranges,
as if they were spading rice-swamp mud or
hoeing sweet potatoes. Ice-cream went like
the supwilake on the river, a moment white,
then gone forever. Saucers of floating-island
struggled to and fro in the air, their contents
slopping over heads and coat-collars and coat
tails and into sleeves, us the sacred oil ran
down Aaron's beard and vestments. One
white dignitary had just filled a plate with
luxuries for his wife when a dusky hand of
destiny descended upon it like a hawk upon a
June•bug, and removed it from his wondering
sight. It was considered a good joke by some
legislators (no doubt us being symbolical of
the way things went in politics) to abstract
the harmonise from dishes which other legisla
tors were hearingmway The statesman who
had made a levy on the cigar-box was justly
punished for his malversatton by losing a
whole basketful of sugar-plums, over which
his mouth was already watering.
Into the melee Pompey Howard plunged
with the commingled joy of a strongman who
knows his strength, andof a hungry man who
sees his supper. More than one Caucasian
corn had reason to rue the hour when it made
acquaintance with the weighty and widespread
hoof of the member from Alligatorville. It
was au unexpected opportunity, but one per
fectly adopted to his powers of avenging toe
wrongs and scorns of centuries. In a general
way colored muscle was triumphant in the
combat, easily bringing . Indo European
muscle to grief, and thereby nourishing itself
with great liberality, though at au expense of
much china. Pompey, for instance, smashed
two plates and a goblet in the process of de
vouring a peck ot goodies and drinking half a
bottle of chmpagne.
SCRAPPLE.
The New York Times published a recipe
for scrapple. " Anti-Scrapple" writes as fol
lows :
,op Let a few of your economists try the fol•
owing recipe and they will find It is all it •is
cracked up to he : Tithe a calf's left hind leg
.and let it hang until it will just stay hung
without falling, than take it down ; after cut
ting the bone out, chop the meat into pieces
above the size of a walnut; put them on the
roof in a ruin storm for twenty-tour hours,
after which (if a cat don't get them) boil with
a pound of licorice root ; let the lot gently
simmer for a few minutes, and then hdd a pa
per of Lorilard's century tobacco, with a little
old rye whisky, and you will have the mean
est mess under the sun, except scrapple."
" Tweive'llundred" thus describes the dis
astrous result of introducing the epicurean
delicacy of scrapple into hisonce happy home :
Sunday morning last I rang the bell and told
the cook that she had spilled grease in the
range, and ordered its instant removal—the
perfume filled the house. The only reply
from Bridget was an idiotic grin. I finally
had to open the window, and hurried on my
clothes to avoid catching cold, as the temper
alure of the room was low. I reached ,the
breakfast-table, and, well, I can't find words
to express my feelings ; never swear. 'leave n
preserve all contented houselmlds from semi'.

of tallow dips, and with wicks, included, and
I can make a dish infinitely superior.

last bell is a signal for him to rush down to
the cellar and hide in the coal-bin. At my
urgent request the scrapple was generously
handed to the first beggar, who dumped it in
the ash-barrel and went off insulted: With
her nose turned up to an angle of forty five
degrees, my wife—persistent woman—says she
will try it again. Won't some incendiary ploase

We are for protecting home industry as
against the cheap pauper labor In foreign lands.
The following area few arguments to sustain
our position better framed than we could do :
Henry C. Carey, of Philadelphia, says :
" Protection, as established in 1813, 1828,
1842, gave, as that of 1661 is ready to give, to
its free trade successor : Great demand for
labor. Wages high and money cheap. Public
and private revenues large, and immigration
great and steadily increasing. Public and
private property great beyond all previous pre
cedent. Growing National Independence."
"British free trade, as established In 1817,
d 864, 1840 and 1858, bequeathed to its sue
zeasor: Labor everywhere seeking to be em
ployed. Wages low and money high. Pub
lic and private revenues small and steadily de
creasing. immigration declining. Public and
private bankroptcy nearly universal. Grow
ing national dependence."
"Such is the history of the past. Let our
farmers study it, and they will, as I think,
understand the causes of the prosperity of the
present. That done, let them determine Cor
themselves whether to go forward in the di
rection of individual and national Independ
ence, both national and Individual."
Hon. G. B. Stebbins of Detroit says :
"We are Americans and must have an
American policy, shaped in view of the wages
of intelligent labor ns compared with UM pau
per labor of the Old World, the benefit of a
larger home market for our farmers, the rates
of interest, the needs and obligations of our
gevernment, and the recognition of the fair
claim of American artisans to do the work
which we need and which they can perform ;
and such policy, benefiting all sections, should
have the hearty support of our people."
OPINIONS OF DISTINGUISHED MEN
Our forefathers felt that they must have com
mercial and industrial independence, always
denied them by England, or their political in
dependence would be but en empty name.
TILe necessity of a PROTECTIVE SYSTEM FOR
(run STATES was a main subject of delibera
tion at tixe first convention, in 1786, of dele
gates at Annapolis met to consider the forma
lion of a Constitution, and also at the Conven
tion of 1787, in which the Constitution was
framed.
Washington, Gs President, met the first Con
gress, clad in a colt of domestic manufucture,
and the sneoutl not passed by thut Congress
had the following preamble :
" WnEngas, It is necessary for the support
of Government, for the discharge of the debts
of the United Slates, AND FOR TUE ENCOUIi,
AGEMENT AND PROTECTION OF MANUFAC
TURES, that duties be laid on goods,wares and
merchandise IMPORTED, Be it enacted," &c.,
&c. This bill being passed, was signed by
Washington, July 4, 1789, marking thus the
great truth no doubt deeply felt by kin], and
by that august body, that the birth of political
freedom should be followed by that of indus
trial independence, that a great nation might
fulfill its high destiny--free and independent
indeed.
Jefferson said to Benjamin Austin in 1810:
" You tell me I tun quoted by those who wish
to continue our dependence on England for
manufactures. There was a time when I
might•have been so quoted with some candor.

then believe, that there exists both profligacy
and power enough to exclude us from the field
of interchange with other nations ; that to he

MEE
The Hou. J. N. 31cOlurg, ex•Goccrnor of
M issour I, says :
" We must become manufacturers as well as
producers from the soil, ai'd build tip cities
and towns or manufactures and operatives
who will purchase our meat and our bread,
without the deduction of high transportation,
and sell to us shoes and clothing, and, if needs
be, wines and cigars, without the addition of
transportation and the profits of importers and
one or more middle Merchants. Thus we will
keep our coin at home and be independent of
other nations. Otherwise we must neccesarily
become as a people, what an imprcvident far
mer becomes, who sells his grain at low prices
to pay, at high prices, for the comfort and lux
uries of life."
In 1839, when Abraham Lincoln, our mur•
dered Chief Magistrate, was nominated to the
Legislature, lie made a speeedt in wliich ho
said :
" I am In favor of an Internatunprovement
system, and altigh protective tariff"
The well-known philanthropist, Peter Coo
per, of New York, gives his views as follows
" I have read your statement and the recom
mendation of your Association for the Promo
tion and Protection of American Indust y,
and heartily approve of every, word and senti
ment therein expressed, believing firmly that
the mast reliable source of national wealth •ill
always be found in a well directed industry or
the people."
. WITAT BRITISH FREE TRADE !ifEANB.
In a speech in the House of Lords, Lord
Goderich said : "Other nations knew, as well
as thC noble lord opposite and those who acted
with hitn, that what we (the English) meant
by free trade was nothing more nor less than
by means of the great alvantages we enjoyed
to get the monopoly of all their markets for
our manufacturers, and to prevent them, one
and all, from ever becoming manufacturing
nations.
"The policy that France acted On was that
of encouraging Its native manufactures and it
wits a wise policy, because if it were freely to
admit cur manufactures, it would speedily be
reduced to an agricultural nation, and there;
fore a poor nation, as all must be that depend'
exclusively upon agriculture."
F , o we learn from this precious revelation
that "British free trade" really means the
montpoly of all markets, and the breaking
down of all manufactures, except their own.
