Please tell me who taught her to play with it 1" 'When newspapers were first established they were qu;to destibate of advertisements, and nothing was more couunon than for pa pers.to be issued with a blank page. The first newspaper printed in America had only three pages of reading matter, as there was llbt foreign or domestic news enough to fill out all the columns! In England. after a while, a new method was ad, pted to ill up the Apnea not required for the current news, by publish.ng selections from the holy scsip tures, and many an old newspaper is no ex taut with a wholepacecopioxt from the Bible. Chapters from the New Testament were play eel at the head of the column, and the space below te st filled 30t with a psalm of the re quired length. At the time this, to us, note! proceeding was resorted tu, to fill out the pa per, the Bill was not so common or so cheap As at present, and doubtless much good resul ted from tile practice.

There are fuw articles, perhaps, of greater vela' to agricultarists than salt. A. an in gredient iu-comp.st, it is of great service, and operates with an influence upon the soil, which can be produced by no other stimulant, either mineral or vegetable. As a top drew ing fur grass lands—especially those of a loamy texture—it is invaluable. Mixed with wood ashes, in the proportion of one bushel of salt to three of ashes, and five of lime, it oonstitutes a very energetic manure for Indian corn—producing an early and vigorous germi nation of the seed, and acting as an efficient protection ngaintt the ravages of the various insectiverous enemies by which the old plants are so freqnently infested and de stroyed. During the many years I have used the article, I never knew it to fail of produc ing the most important and marked results— whether applied as a cop-dressigg on lands in grass or " , rain, as a stimulant to c-,rn, or as a pabulum fur the support of pivoting crops.— I have also used it with good success on vari ous kinds of fruit tiees—plums,pears,cherries, apples, peaches§ end quinces. Every farmer should make a liberal use of it, particularly in compounding manures. C. T. Alrora, of Wilmington, Vermont., when he finds that a sow is inclined to de vour her pigs, mixes her feed with cider, un. til she is somewhat intoxicated. This, it seems, quiets her nerves and renders her manageable•, besides curing her unnatural appetite. Four quarts of good strong cider is found a largo enough dose.—[The cider acts as a purge, and herein lies the secret.— Costiveness is doubtless the cause of the " unnatural appetite." Puncture the tomatoes' with a furk, place them on a dish, and sprinkle with salt. Let them remain for two or toe g dais, then rinse of the salt in dear water, put them in a pre serving kettle, cover them with water, which keep scalding hot fur one hour ; then take them out, lot thaie drain, and put them in jars.

A smart shower had fallen during the forenoon, and when they got back to Moor's creek the water was running up to the saddle girths of a horse. An ordinary western looking man was sitting on the bank with a saddle in his hands. He waited until the party had enter ed the 'stream but Mr. Jefferson, and then asked him for a ride across. To rein up to a stone, suffer him to mount on the crupper, and carry him to the opposite bank, was a matter of coulee. In a few minutes the par ty in the rear, who had witnessed the affair, overtook our besaddled pedestrian, stretching away at a sturdy pace along the foot of Car ter's mountrin. "I say," quoth a junior, "what made you lot the young men pass and ask that gentle. man to carry you over the creek 7" "Well," said Kentucky, in a broad pathos, " if you want to know I'll tell you : I reckon a man carries yes and no in his face—the young amps' faces said no—the old one's said yes." "It isn't every man that would have asked the ,President of the United States fur a ride behind him," paid the other, expecting, per haps, to blank the bold visage of Kentucky. If such was his object, however, he was much mistaken. " Ton don't say that was Tom Jefferiinn, do you?" was the reply, and lie immediately added, "Le's a darned fine fellow, anyway." " That wan the President," was the reply. Kentucky looked up and looked around, the loenlity well known.to travellers at on►e conveying conviction to his mind. He ap pcnral to lie in a brown study fur a moment —the massive features then relaxed—Le burst into n loud And thus he spoke: •• What do you suppose my wife, Polly, will say, when I het Lack to Boons county, and tell her I've rid behind old Jeffe,rsou! she'll say I voted for the right man." Queer Employment We heard a•pretty good story the other day, which we think merits n wider circula tion that it linn yet got. The story rune that acme honest faced Iluosier went into n fancy store in Cincinnati, in hunt of a situati.m.

" Well, I want hands to chew rags into pa per. and it you are willing to UM i you may begin at once." "Hoist. as wheat ! thud over your raga."

An Orator in a Tight Corner, I remeuilgr once, when I was a young man living up in New Hampehire, they dedicated a. new bridge, stud incited a young lawyer za deliver an oration. The lawyer Lad Deter yet, after a isrtisight's practice, had the lo.nur of being retained, and the opportunity of r.- tabliellialweputation was admirable. 'rase day cam al with it came the multitude and the orator, He had made no written preparation, that being, he had beau nild, we. las - 3 cr-like—a lawyer being supposed to I.e capable of speaking without note or notice any number of hours, on soy subjoes, in a style of thrilling eloquence. SO our orator trusted to the occasion. Ile staid oat upon the platform, and amid the profous.d atten tion of biz audience, cointnensaid: " Pellow citizens-,-five and forty years ago this bridge, built by your enterprise. was part and parcel of the howling wilderness:" Ile paused a moment, "les, fellow citizens, only ftve and limy years ago, this bridge, where we now stand, was part and wail of Aloe howling wilderness?" Again he pausal. -r (Cries of "good, go on.',') Here was the rub. 01 fad it hardly neeesaary to rapist, that this bridge, fellow citizens, ugly five and to . ty years ago, was pert and parcel of the howling wilderness; and I will conclude by ssylug that I wish it was part and partrt of it note." Juvenile Precocity On Tuesday morning last. a little girl ran into the breakfast-room, where her mother was sitting at the hood of the table, exclaim ing: Mother, mother, did yoti ever see a cow ent a call ?" " No," Skid the mother, but why do you ask me such a question ?" " Because it is a fact," said-the daughter, " I saw it just now. " " Where t" said the mother. " Why, out at the cowpen." " What cow t" ‘' Why, you know the red cow, Rose, don't you? Weil, she came trotting up just now with a beautiful spotted calf following her. And u this is Covreta county, ain't the calf a Cuweta calf?" " Be uff to school," said the mother, "I will Coweta calf you !"—lndiana Blade. The Nations Without Fire According to Pliny, fire was for a long time unknown to some of the ancient Euptians; and when Exodus, the celebrated astronomer, showed it to them, they were absolutely in raptures. The Persians, Phoenicians, Greeks and several other nations, ackdowledged that their ancestors were without the use of fire ; and the Chinese confers the same of their pro genitors. Pumponius, Mela, Plutarch, and other ancient authors, speak of nations who, at the time they wrote, knew not the use of fire, or had just but learned it. Facts of the same kind are also attested by several mot.. dern nations. The inhabitants of the Manus Islands, which were discovered in 1551, bad no idea of fire. Never was astonishinent greater than theirs, when they saw it on the descent of Magellan in one of their islands.— At first they believed it to be some kind of an imal that, fixed to and fed upon wood. The inhabitants of the Phillipine end Canary Is lands were formerly equally ignorant. Afri ca presents, even in our own day, some nations in this deplorable state. IrWe wooliedueste the whole ensa--the body, the bead, the beert-the body to act, the heed to think, end the heart to Ng.. Senator Broderick's Death. The Oppo.ition are endeavoring to make political capital out of .Bmderiok's death— they would convert his coffin an election eering platform and act the partisan upon his grave: But their erooodile tears will deceive no one. It is well known that Broderick's disaffection towards the President was not on account of Kansas, or anything pertaining to Kansas ; but because the President made such appointments in California as he felt it his duty to make, contrary to Brederick's recommendations. Senator Owin avowed his determination not to interfere in the appoint ments, by the general government, for Cali fornia ; and, in consequence of this avowal, Broderick advocated G win's re-election to the Senate, supposing that, after these events, he could use the whole patronage of the United States in California to reward his personal adherents. President Buchanan did not con.- sent to dispose of this patronage according to any stipulation between two Senators, and his early appointments were so displeasing to Senator Broderick that he openly denounced the President and swore " that he would nev er cross the threshold of the White House, except to the funeral of the inmate." This was long belore d ghe I,tcompton question arose, which gave," pretence of principle to a violent oppositior. to the administration, 1 which had less elevated and mero personal motives. The manner in which he conducted the_can 4ass, in the recent election in California, showed how much personal hatred dominated A iver principle. Ilia personalities, his vio knee, Itio. browbeating were of the grossest kind, caffirig forth responses of the like char acter ; fait leaving on him the imputation of being the aggtessor. lla invited the challenge from Judge Terry by plainly intimating, when he refused to meet Terry's friend, that he would meet the Judge himself after the election, and at the same time denouncing Terry in the severest terms, saying he ought to have been hung, tfe.

Last week ons of his descendants found the gun, ass? the Kanawha, after a lapse of Ca; years. The barrel was not mate rially injuird, the polish remaining ou the greater portion of it ; the trigger whole, the springs in the proper place, heavy brass guard, niuszle-piece and thimble, a brass box with the words •'Liberty or Death" engra yed on it. Although it has been upwards of sixty years, the remains of the red-oak log are still to be seen. The muzzle of the gun had grown fast to a dogwood bush, and had been carried up by its growth about six inches from the ground. Female Horse Thief.—The Wellsville Free Press says that a girl was arrested one day last week at Oramet, Allegany county, N. Y., on a. chmge of horse stealing!. The horse was found in her possession.

During the night she made a ladder of the bed clothes—descend ed to the ground—went to the barn—harness ed up to the stolen horse—seized upon anoth er—and decamped.

The Chambersburg VAley Spirit. of the 26th nit., in an tirtiele otrthe Harper's Ferry insurrection,Aityg t• , This outbreai,isionly the beginning—the foreshadowing of &ire serious troubles. That an extensive organization exists, in various States, to overthrow the Government by means of a general and servile insurrection there can no longer be a doubt. Tho frustra tion of this rash beginning has not by ATIV means broken up the organization. It will only have the effect to make the conspirators more cautious in their workings, end more desperate and determined in their next at tempt. It is only necessary to trace the visi ble footprints of the insurgents to be convinc ed that the conspiracy has a more widespread existence than people areitenerally disposed •to believe. We find the marauders ut Kansas the active men in the riot—the same men, the same means, and the same arms, used in that war, have been brought into requisition in this outbreak. It is only a renewal of the Kansas trouble in the heart of our country— brought home to our own doors. All the treasonable machinery of that war have been put in operation to shock the moral sense and excite the fears of our community with horrid tales of rapine and murder at our own fire sides. Where the awful respobleitality for this state of things rests the people can no longer be so blinded by their political preju dices, as not to see. With the evidence now before them they must be wilfully blind, here after, if they do not repudiate the party whose seditious principles have sown the seed of this insurrection broad•cast over the land. It is not, however, at this time, of the gen- i eral character, or political tendenaiert, of the insurrection that we wish to speak. Our community has by some means, of which we were entirely unaware, become mixed •up with this insurrection. While we were har bouring, for month., these desperadoes among us we do not believe that a single one of our white citizens was in any way connected with them, or even suspected their designs. In re gard to our blacks it is believed that a por tion of them knew the object of these men, were associated with them, and would have joined them if successful. The first trace we can find of these men among us was in the month of July Inst.— They were doubtless hero previous to that time. Old Brown, paesing by the name of Smith, and a couple of men be called his eons. A man by the name of John Henri's, who Brown on ono occasion said was Iris son, was also among the first comers and was the last to leave. This man is RITIOLg the killed by the name of "Cant. Kagi." Mrs. Cook, wife of Col. John E. - Cook, gave us the informa tion that this man's name•was John Henri() Kagi, and that he had been one of Brown's men in Kansas. Lang quantities of arms and munitions of war, ere received at our i x warehouses. from time to time, upon which Brown paid the freight, which in some in stances amounted to seventy &Hers. Some of the boxes containing Sharp's Mlles came through from Foams, and other freight from Connecticut. The lance handles were ship ped from that State. Ilonrie remained here pretty much all the time superintending af fairs. Brown was here frequently staying t a few days at a time, or merely passlng thru' to Harrisburg, or other points. While here lie trammeled business through our Bank. having had several; drafts cashed on New York. Ho was here nt the time Fred. Doug tare lectured and was in the hall that night ' with Uenrie and several others of the party.— ' Our citizens had little idea how strongly Fred. Douglass was hacked up on that•occasion Brown had uo,doubt an interview with Doug lass at the time, and the object of Douglass' visit to the place is now fully explaied.— Ilenrie was with Douglass at the housilliT the eol.tred man at which Douglass mapped.— When Douglass left be gave out that be would return in October, about the time the out break took place. It quite likely he will postpone his visit now to the geed/ disapoirst men! of some of his admirers here! Tip last time Brown was known to have been in this niece was on the 7th of October, when be brought the wife ,of Col. John E. Cook here and left her at a private boarding house. The man Henri° (Kagi) was the 'art of the gang known to have been here. Ile left for liar ! per's Fiery on Friday the 14th just is time to meet his just doom• Brown or llenrie do not seem to have made the acquaintance of any of our white citizens while among us, though it is known they were intimate with some of our negroes. The whole number of white men engaged in the insurrection were no doubt sojourners with us at different times daring the summer. Nine white• men and two negroes can be identified as having been here. Brown and his two sons, Rennie, Leeman, Tidd, Merriam, Taylor and Coppee, were well known by name in the neighborhood where they boarded.— Other strangers of whose appearance we have a full description Were also seen iu their coin : Twiny. The negro called "Emperor of New York," taken prisoner, is said to be the black man who was upon the stage with Douglass the night he lectured in this piece. lle did not go back with Douglass and was Out seen in this place afterwards. Brown frequently visited here with a horse and wagon. The man called Tidd was also hews ut one time fur 1 I freight with a mule and wagon. Merriam was here a week or ten days before the out break. He was very active in writing letters, and telegraphing to different points. Svme of his despatches to Boston cost him as much as sd. He hired a horse and buggy and in company with !Jennie, it is supposed, visited Harper's Ferry. Ile returned and left in the cars. This man was not at the Ferry at the time of the insurrection. It is not known whether Cook ever visited this place previous to the insurrection. There is a rumor afloat that he was here sometime ago aad stopped at the house of a colored man. The general impression here is that if Cook ever visited this place it was very pri vately and under an assumed name. It can not be recollected by the persons who have been observing these men that any one an swering to the desosiption given of Cook was noticed among them. this wife has been boarding in . thie plaza for the past wu weeks. Her mother resides at Harper's Ferry, and is a widow lady by the name of Kennedy. Cook ' married her there about fifteen months ago.--. They have one child about five months old which the mother has with her. Mrs. Cook is quite young looking, very lady-like in her manners, and appears to possess a oinsidera• ble degree of shrewdness. She states very frankly that she has no fears of her husband being raptured. That he was all through the Kansas wars and vaiiiiikin pursued while there, but was never takillk.. That he is well at-qua/gal with the roads in this part of the country and will have no difftluhy in making his escape. Mts.
