ausolutely each being a bar to any new I

vision of power and responsibility may be
i.i for tbe best. Mr. Lincoln, therefore
enn if inclined could not exhibit, tuc
ttssfully, any hostility to the institution

great fact deprives all honest, reasonable

that Robber Flo I'D worked oflT upon tbe '

been traced to honest holders. Doubtless
rlovd has enriched himself, aa ha sent
home by Express twice as much money as
be was worth when he came to Washing-
Ion. Rut most of those funds is secretly
used to pay Secession Exr-ESSEs! Our
own money to corrupt, alienate, and des-
troy the lives of our own people! Our

Slit : As my brother, sister and myself
h ive been farming eouio this Summer, and
the result has been satisfactory; and, fur
I I her more, as the sceno ef our labor has
j been in the rough township of Springfield,
I I thought 1 would give you an accouut of
' the result cf our labor. Father is a far
: nicr, aud anxious to develop iu bis child
ren an inclination for agricultural employ
ment and rural pursuits, lie pave us a
spot of ground, therein we could employ
our time. e sowed three papers ot car
rots, two pDpers of onions, three papers of
parsnips, and two papers of beets, my sis-
ter E;uma tending the carrots, and I ten-
dins the onions, larsnirs and beets
From the three papers of carrots, we bad
forty bushels. From the two papers of
onions, we cot eirht bushels. From the
three papers of parsnips, we bad thirty j enough and every bond wnl make strong
bushels; and from the two papers of beets, er the eouutry in the interests aod i2:c-
we bad eluven bo-b' Is. That, I tbiuk, is
a pretty good yield for new soil and new
beginners.
One of our neighboring girls, F.mily
Decker, has sown cuLbuge, and one weigh
ed fourteen pounds.
Our good frjcees this spa9on has cn-
couraged us to try it next Spring, and we
hav solieited the aid of our friend, Luein
da Voorhies, to assist us. I h"pe other
girls will be itimulalrd by what we have
done, and follow our rxamplf.
