Save when hurrying to her homestead, screamed

Save velum, slumbering, stamped the charger,

Jenny and John word brother and
sister. Jenny had a temper which wan
apt to dre up like a lacifor match when
things did'nt please her. At such times
she pouted her lips-until they looked as
if they had been stung by a mosquito.
Ono day John did something which
she did not like. Out timilieti . the angry
tires from her largo black eyes, as she
pouted her lips until they looked twice
their proper size. Her brother, who
was full of good-nature, laughed and
said :
" Look out, Jennie, or I'll take a seat
up there on your hp !"
This funny remark fell like sunshine
on Jennie's heart and changed herpouts
into a smile at ono°, With a sly glance
at her brother she replied :
" Then I'll laugh and you will fall
off."
Thus Johnny's soft answer tarried
Jenute's wrath into good humor. Had
he pouts., and spoken back, both of
thorn world havo been made unhappy.
I hope the boys will all speak kindly
when their sisters pout, and I hope, too,
that all the girls will leave off pouting.
Posting spoils their good looks and
makos them ugly in the sight of God
and maw.

The Value of Lime u a Manure.
To what ttoila and crops moat beneficial—the
=
ty per %err,
,and the best time and method
licatfon."
The extensive and increasing use of
lime for agricultural purposes, indicates
the opintone of farmers in regard to its
usefulness, although there is great di
versity of opinion on its application, so
as to derive the greatest advantage in
promoting the growth of plants. Ex
pertonco has taught rue that tho /frost
and most profitable mode for its appli
cation, is on
. grass lands. If the grass
seed is sown m the fill, with the wheat
and rye, which is the common practice
with us in New Jersey, as soon as the
haryeat colllos off the next year we up-
Ply the lime, with the ! oust delay, and
wilefresh slaked and in a dny, mealy
Mate. I It can be spread more evenly
onvtilw ground, and is in a state to be
more readily taken np by the fine roots
of the plants, thaw if allowed to get wet
and clammy. It is found Most benefi
cial to keep it as near the surface of the
ground as practicable. as the specific
gravity or weight of this mineral ma
nure is so groat, that, we soon foil it
too deep in the ground fur the fibrous
roots of pleats to derive the greatest
possible benefit front its use.
Withthis inethod of appneation arc
connected several advantages. The
lime can be hauled in the falhafter the
busy season is over, and when spread
on the sod in this way, 4:0111011 in more

grass roots than whoa the land is first

In fields that have boon limed in part
in this • manner, and then plowed, and
limo applied to the remainder at the
time of planting with corn, I always-ob
serve a great difference in the corn
crop; and in plowing up the stubble the
next season. the part limed on,the sod ie
much, mellower than tluit limed after
the sod was broken, presenting a rich
vegetable mould not observed $n the oth
er part of the field.
The dismission respecting the appli
cation oftirge as a manure, reminds me
of the old man's Advice to his son:—
" Ent your lime, " be said, " if possible,
on yam now m ade sod; if you cannot
put it on before it is plowed, put it on as
soon after as possible; and if yoFcannot
then, put it on the beat way ,yep can."
Though I would not apply it to plowed
land on which there Was nolvngetable
coating, unless I supplied the deficiency
by a full dressing of-Long. manure.

Burning Bode for Thar Ashes.

MIA Cut loose in the fall, and in the
Spring was thrown into heapf and

Democratic Eleputorial Canons in Ile
ferenoe to the Acquisition of Cuba.
WAsocutoroN,.lan. 16.—A caucus of
the Democratic Senators was held yes
terday, on the president's recommenda
tion in reference to Cuba. A debate
of some three or four hours ensued, in
volving the question whether arty steps
should be taken in relation to it, and,
if so, of what character. According to
the best attainable information, Mr.
Mason made the opening speech, and
was followed by Mr. Hunter and Mr.
Shields. Thongh favorable to the ac
quisition of Cuba, they thought action
at this time impolitic and calculated to
impair rather than improve our pros
pects to that end. Mr. Douglas regard
ed appearances as gloomy, but would
support Mr. Slidell's bill placing in the
hands of the Prosidon,t 580,000,000 to
bo used i 3 negotiation. He expressed
the belief that the President would not
endorse this measure without sufficient
data to justify him in so doing. Ho
(Mr. Douglas) had long desired the ac
quisition of Cuba. In his judgment
there was but one mode, and that was
on the happening of another ease simi
lar to that of the Black Warrior, to
seize the Island by way of reclamation,
and negotiatemafterwards.
Mr. Davis and others did not likethe
suggestion of Mr. Douglas, and the
discussion at this stage of tho proceed
ings became intensely interesting, the
best ability of the participants therein
being pat forth. Mr. Slidell, of course,
advocated his own bill. Messrs. Davis
Daninbi, (Irwin, Bigler and Clay, favored
the idea of incmasing to a sufficient ex
tout, the foreign intercourse fund, bear
ing the matter to the discretion of the
President, as in previous cases. Mr.
linssson thought that Spain oould be
wearied witb. tho question of Cuba,. by
a repeal of,encb parts of oar laws as re
strain the action of our citizens towards
foreign powers, or something to that
•
effect.
The detetesination of tbe anus was,
with a few exceptions, to favor the re
emaraondation •of the. President, al
though the pretiao . mode in which it
isitnald be constinirnated - Was not 46
clearly Indteatod, butt the protatbilitv , is
the Senate will pas r. Slidell's bill.

Big Sandy Station, and left there &beat
two o'clock in the evening and traveled
about twenty miles, wind blowing front
the east. The storm ihdreased so asi to
prevent them from seeing fire feet be
fore them, and compelled them again to
lay up. They camped in a hollow, and
during the night snow drifted on them
to the depth of three feet. Here the
whole company almost froze. Mr. G.
states that his feet and log s wore so
numb as to he almost unable to stand
up. The mail men, having no bedding,
were compelled to walk around all night
to keep from freezing. - •
Fifth day, left early in'tlitt morning ,
—traveled eight miles; one of the mail
non's face and hands froze, and the
other was so far frozen as to be ablest
asleep. Mr. G. here finding that the
men would freeze, took thorn off and
made them .walk. They then turned
and went back twenty-eight miles to
Big Bandy. The next day the wind
ceased, and they started, in colnpany,
with Mr. Ashton, the mail agent.—
They reached the South Pass at dark.
Hero the wind raised again --the snow
being drifted front Veto ten feet deep,
and they again bocatne lost. Fur thee*
or four hours they wandered round isr
hopes to dad the road, and their only
hope was to face the wind in order,to
reach Sweet Water, which they did.—
They then attempted to travel down
this stream, but the drifted snow Writ . /
so deep as to be 'impassable.
They camped, and Mr. Ashton froze
one of his feet while in bed. In the
morning they left, mules, mail and alt,
and took it abbot dawn Sweet Watered

in the bed, asthey had-to out the boats
off of his feet. Mr. G. pulled off his
buffalo moccasins and put them on Mr.
Ashton—leaving his feet with only a—
deer skin , moccasin on. The whole
company 'concluded their time was
growing short, but, like heroes, made a
desperate effort—part of the time ber
rying Mr. Ashton. They reached a
station about ten miles distant. They
thou had some hopes of making the
trip, although the thermometer stood
27 degrees .below zero. Mr. Sanders,
the surveyor of the now road south of
Laramie, had Mr. Miller stationed
.at
this place with a barometer and ther
mometer in order to take notes of the
weather. Tho oldest ' uqtaineers,
one in particular who livose by tbo
Station, states that it was the coldest
weather they had experienced forthirty
years.
They left Mr. Ashton after laying
over three or four days. While hero
the St. Joseph mail arrived—Mr. Gar:
vii, the Indian agent for the Snakes,
coming through with it. Thpy -had
nine mules to freeze around their camp
fire--some within two feet of the fire..
The men had all their hands and feet
frozen, and lay four days within eight,
miles of the station, unable to get in.--
Here Majors & Russell had ten mon fro

-While here the Salt Lake model - Dec.

to send with the mail, Mr. G. took
charge of it and brought it to'Laramle,:
where he met an agent having men.—
Mr. G. took the couch, in company with'
four other passongeril.; below Laramie
they bad but little snow, and the rosuhf
were good most of the time. 'They
found men at almost every .station on
the road frozen. They met Mr. Hook-,

stations. From here the roads bedtime,
