'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

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.

If thou heat thrown a glorious thought
Upon life's common ways,
Should other men the gain have caught ;
Fret not to lose the praise.
Great thinker, often thou shall find,
While folly plunders fame,
To thy rich store the crowd is blind/,
Nor knows thy very name.
What matters that, if thou uncoil
The soul tbat God has given,
Not in the world's mean eye to toil,
But in the sight of heaven ?
If thou art true, yet in thee lurks
For fume a human sigh,
To nature go. and ~ee how works

Her ow•n deep bounty she forgets—

Aneodote of Jefferson.
A party, Mr. Jefferson, then Prwident,
aroeng them. were out riding. 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

acme honest faced Iluosier went into n fancy
store in Cincinnati, in hunt of a situati.m.
The proprietor, or bend clerk, sins totting
in the counting room, with his feet elevated.
contemplating life through the softening, in
flcence of cigur smoke,
Our ]hosier friend sildressedthin] inodest
ly, as
" Do you want to hire a hand about your
establishment ?"
Th e clerk hmiked up indifferently. but see
ing his cuptmer, concluded to hate a little
fun out of him. no he nnswered very bri.kly,
at the same time pulling out a laige and cost
ly linnkerchief, nod blowing his nt.se on
" Yes, sir; what sort of a situation du you
want ?"
Well, I'm not particular. I'm nut of
work. and cdulust anything will du me fur
awhile."
Yes, I can give you a situation if it will
suit YOU."
"What is it ? What's to be dune. mad
what do you give ?"
" Well, I want hands to chew rags into pa
per. and it you are willing to UM i
you may

"Hoist. as wheat ! thud over your raga."
" Here, take this liankerchisif and nuinineime

The linonsier saw the " sell." and quiotly

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,

and several other nations, ackdowledged that
their ancestors were without the use of fire ;
and the Chinese confers the same of their pro

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..

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

The Insurgents at Chambers
burg.
. 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

Brown paid the freight, which in some in

of the boxes containing Sharp's Mlles came
through from Foams, and other freight from
Connecticut. The lance handles were ship

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

! 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. Cook remained here until
