TILE LITTLE GIRL AT PEATEK.
Oa* eve when the moon was shining bright,
And the stars were glittering all,
I went to the humble cottage-Lome
Of little Cat haiine
I opened the dour of this lonely house,
Not an inmate cook! I ;
But I heard an earnest, ple.tallag yoke,
la a tune of agony.
I followed the sound to a cheerless room,
And stopped; for. kneeling there,
With folded hands, on the cold hearth stone,
Was a little girt at prvifir!
• • • "r"• • •
I went that night to a festal h4ll
Where the scene was ray and bright,
And every lip in rmilrs was wreathed,
And eiery titan seemed light.
The room was filled with fairy forma,
Without r trouble or care;
They bade me .mile, but my heart was away
ith the lode girt at prayer.
Fair fingers snept the light-toned barp';
And man) u rare old bong
Wns sung, and many a gleeful note'
Burst from U ut joyous throng.
Fresh fl et% ere were selttered all around,
Their perfume filled the air;
But the lot eMarst sight that I saw that aight
Was the little girl at prayer.

A Novel Case at Law.

Church encouraged her in it to the extent
of giving her sixteen eggs to commence on.
With commendable industry the hen went
to work. " setting." For one week she de
voted hersi if to it without interniption. At
the end of the week Mr. Tinker's turkey
came along that way, and crowding the hen
otf her nest, took the business of incubation
under her own wings. Being more "on hir
muscle " than the hen, she maintained her
position until a brood of chickens stepped
out of the Alien and peeped. The turkey
then took the chickens in tow, and return

Mr. Church brought an action of trover for
the chicken.. claiming them on the ground

The Estate of Stephen Girard.—A hill has
been filed in the United States Court at
Philadelphia by parties who are subjects of
the French Emperor, for the recovery of all
the Girard estates. except that which is
necessary for the maintenance of the college.
The bill, says the Ledger, fills forty-nine
closely printed page', and will commence
perhaps a lonf oarree of litigation. The
grounds' on which the recovery is based are:
Ist, that. the present city of Philadelphia
cannot legally execute the provisions of
Stephen Girard's will ; and 2d, the estate,
by reason of mismanagement, has dirninigh

Heroic Conduct of the Pope's Irish Brig-
ada at Spoleto.
There cannot have been much more than
700 or 800 men, if .0 in my, in Spoleto, while
the attacking force was at least 15,tion or 2 11 ,-
000 men. A council was held, and of course,
instantaneous sw -nder was proposed by
Wale as the moat course in the face
of Poch odds. O'Reilly, at least for the Irish
in the garrison (two companies, 260 men,)
utterly declined to he a party to any auch
proeneding, and declared that the man w ho
scald take upon himself to even announce
such astep to his men would run the peril
of his life. The council, I can gather, was
stoically distracted on the point of capit
ulation or no capitulation, but ultimately
an express was sent off to ilome, to the min
'late.? of war. anneuncing that it was resolt ed
to defend the town a s best they could, and
that eome what tiiitrht the Irish companies
were resolved to hold Chi. citadel till the
courier returned, or blow it into fragments.
In the men-ninis the Irish, at dawn. went

In an hour or two afterwards they Vl ere call

poured in throusdi two of the chief streets,
attempting at first nothins of a cannonade,
and evidently conthient of etuTying the place
against such a mere handful of men at the
bayonet's point. They reckoned rattily.—
For hours they a i'rt. held at bay. Little,
of course, could be done in the streets, by
such a small body against 10,000 or 12,000
men; and, at last, pressed on every point,
Ojleilly threw himself into the citadel to
make the last stand for life or death—for
death alone, I might say—for when the out
er gate crashed to. as the last wounded but
undaunted defender passed into the quad
rangle, there was not a man in all the little
band who did not fuel that he had taken
his stand to die. They threw themselves
upon the walls, and from the tattered
loop
holes rained "the leaden hail" with deadlysl
eff.s.t upon the besiegers. But those old
walls proved miserable defences, and the
enemy, after a brief but deadly struggle of
the kind, soon, with cries that rent the air,
clashed at the old gate. A crash, a roar—
& petard blows it iuto fragments. Then the
struggle oommenced indeed. In poured the
besiegers into the outer yard, which I should
attention does not appear to belong to the
citadel proper. llowever, a bloody recep
tion met them there. The Irish had two
gun.. loaded with grape, planted inside in a
position commanding the entrance, and no
sooner was the Piedmontese column seen
through the smoke of the gateway than a
murderous fire was opened, mowing them
down literally like corn before the sickle.
Again, again, again the besiegers dashed
through the gate: again, again and again a
Perfect hail of graperhot front the two pieces

of Ireland was on the awful 'oaken( theday.
It was mid day, the outer yard wax still

much longer. The Peidmon tense brought up
apiece or two themselves, and after the first
discharge poured en amass through the gate.

men who fought those guns inside not one

' Wife versus Lady
It is certainly not in good taste fora gen
tleman to speak of las wife as his lady, or
to register their namos upon the books of
a hotel as "John Smith and lady." or to
ask a friend, "How is your lady?" This is
all fashionable vulgarity, and invariably bet
trays a lack of cultivation. The teen wife
is far more beautiful and appropriate and
refined. whatever may be said to the con
trary. Suppose a lady were to say. instead
of "my husband." "my gentlemen." or sup
pose we were to speak of •• Mrs. Fitz Maurice
and her gentleman." The thing would be
positively ludicrous, and its obverse is none
the less so, if rightly considered. A man's
wife is his wife, and not his lady. We mar-
Tel that this latter term is not utterly
tabooed, in suoh a connection, at least by
educated and intelligent people. It ought
to be loft for the exclusive use of the cod
fish aristocracy.
b Many a glorious speculation has fail
ed for the same good reasiott that the old
American Ranger gave when ho was asked
why he didn't buy land when it was dog
cheap. A correspondent tells the story :
Well, I did come nigh unto taking
eight thousand acres oust," said old Joe,
mournfully. "You see two of the boys came
in one day from an Indian hunt without any
shoes, and offered me their titles to the two
leagues just below here for a pail of boots."
"For a pair of boots :" : cried out.
" Yea, for &pair of boots for each league,"
said he.
" But why on earth didn't you take UP--
They would he worth one hundred thousand
dollars today. Why didn't you give them
the boots 1"
Just I didn't have the boots to
give," said old Joe as be took another chew.
A Sensible Landlord.--Att exchange says:
A little incident transpired some weeks ago,
at one of our Frankfort hotela,which is wor
thy of notice.
A little girl entered the barroom and in
pitiful tones told the keeper that her mother
had sent her there to get etght cents.
"Eight coots:" said the keeper.
" Yes, sir."
" What does your mother want with eight
cents ? I don't owe her anything."
"Well," said the child, "father spends
all his money here for rum, and we hare
had tibthing to est to-day. Mother wants
to buy a loaf of bread."
A loafer remarked to the bar-keeper, to
" kick the brnt nut:"
"No," kaki the bar-keeper, "11l giro her
the mrmey, and if the father comes beck
again I'll kick him out."

ler" Wife, bring me some cold beef,"
said a shiftless husband, when for the Okst
time in his life, he discovered that he was
more hungry than he was thirsty.
" There is nobeef in the house," was the
mild reply.
" Fetch me some pork, then."
"No pork, either."
" Well, then, let me hare some potatoes."
"Not a potatne left."
"Thunder and lightning! get some bread,

"The bread is all gone, ton."

The Use of a Bath
Julius, a Western darkey, having landed
at Chimgo, saw an advertisement notifying
those who wished to be clean that they
might get a good bath for a quarter, thought
it would be a good idea to ask the use of
them of another darkey, who .aid—" Baths
are used by the white folks to wash in."—
Accordingly Julius started with a bundle
under his srm. and being shown into &bath
room was left to his ablutions.
Considerable time elapsed, and Julius did
not come forth ; and, after waiting for about
an hour the keeper of the baths went to the
door and screamed out :
"Say, darkey, are you coming out ?"
" Yet. as soon as I get troo my washing."
" Ilow long will that be 2"
Fraps an hour to an hour an' a half,"
coolly answered Julius.
With that the man burst into the room.
and there. all around the room was the ds.r
key's freshly washed clothing hanging up to
dry, but not noticing it just theu„re.marked:
-See hero, you just clear out at once,you're
been in over two hours."
" Look a here," said Julius in an enra-
Fed manner pointing to his drying clothes,
which rather took the bathing man down.
" I'd like to see you wash and hang out two
dozen pieces in less time than I've been at it!"
In another minute Julius was landed in
the street, surrounded by his washing.

TWO DOLLAia-YEA R
Should Seed Wheat be Brought from
the South or the North?
Ens. GENESIP: FARW :-T perceive from
the remarks of N. S. N., in July number
the Famter, that the mooted miegtion of
Whether wheat for early ripening should
be bmught from the North or South," is yet
uniwttled.
Near the city of Edinburgh, in Scotland,
is a tract of laud cultivated by intellizent,
scientific farmers. These practical !ben,
every two or three years, import their seed
wheat from the London market, three or
four hundred miles south of them, and it
pays well, as they gain tno weeks or more
in that cool, dripping climate—where I re
collect the papers stating. one wet season,
they had not ben able to gather their oats
yet in December.
For corn, the very reverse of this should
be the rule, If it is important to have corn
to ripen early, bring it from the North,
where it must mature early or be caught by
the frosts. I have raised corn. Gourd. seed,
from the rich Miami bottoms near Cincin
nati : it grew large and very promising. but
ita habit of late ripening exposed it to frost
in the last of September, and but few hound
ears could be found in a ten-acre field.

Lime and Wheat.
George 11. Chase, ,in enterprising young
farmer of Union Strings, N. V., has tried
an experiment the pre , ent laCittioll with salt,
ashes, and lime, on wheat. An acre each
Was selected for the three experiments.—
About two barrels of salt were applied to
one, two two-horse loads of ashes to a second.
and a hundred bushels of lime to the third
acre. The Jesuit has not been measured as
Tet, bat the e ff ects of each are very visible.
he salt proved least useful ; the ashes
lion so: and the lime most so of all. The
line of superiority marking the hound.tries
of the limed portion w as distinct us a line
fence. The intzawo of theerop by liming,
ever the portions not dressed with any thing,
is at least ten bushels per acre.
The question occurs whether a smaller
quantity of lime would not have produced
ao eqv,ot result. This will receive the te,t
of another trial: The laud is a strong or
clayey loam : and, what is worthy of notice,
it la ht the midst of a limestone region, where
the country is underlaid by rocks of the
eorniferous limestone, which is abundantly
scattered over the surface. But acids do
not show carbonate of lime in the surface

rattraing Cattle upon Hay.
Speaking upon thi. subject. a committee
of tho 51assacliusetts Board itif Agriculture,
remarks:
Fattening cattle in winter upon hay stone
is a resort of many farmer:, and where hay
is plenty and distant from market, the prae
tice is not inconsistent with economy. If
well attended, good animals consuming four
per cent. of their live weight of good hay
daily, will gain daily oso pounds of flesh.
Suppose the flesh gained to be worth sixteen
cents, it - will be equal to zi , S per tun for the
hay. The better practice. however, is to give
only three per cent. of the lire we;ght of
the smimal in hay daily, and an equivalent
for the other one per cent. in Indian
or roots. Th e gain would be greater for the
same cost of food.
Another remark worth quoting is tlio fol
lowing: "The he-.t age for feeding cattle for
btikf to from four to eight yeark. Young
growing cattle may be fattened. but it will
require more food in proportion, and longer
time."
Twelve Years.

President, we will unite upon one candidate

longer.—Bedford (iazette.

Letter from Gov. Letcher, of Va., to A

James 11. Brisbane. of Pa., a few dart Niro
wrote a letter to Gov. ',etcher, of Vt., -ridi
culing the threatened secession at the gopth
and savinst that as two hundred Virginians

(Brisbane's) command to march against the
'weeding States, he was at the service of
Governor I,otcher. - The hitter, in his reply,
expvesses his surprise at receiving nut+ a let
ter administers a calm and just rebuke to
Northern nulification, and shows that dere
liction of duty on the part of the North has
been the prime cause of all the present tron

all other Northern men, to cca.e their taunts
of the South—to correct public sentintetl
m
at hoe—to discliarge their constitutibna
duties, and the% will find no cause of com
plaint against the South. IA reference, to
the offer of Virginians to Serve against the
