They called me a "city farmer" when I first " went at it.". I use Mapes' subsoil plow; 1 haVe.a horse power and mowing machine ; also ma chines for threshing, sawing, churning, etc., etc. I dig potatoes and hoe corn. 1 was always partic - darly fond of the country. When a child 1 used to dream of broad, green fields, waving grain, clo ves, the hat-nod:lg of bees, -flowers, Straw berries and cream. and pork and beans. 11-ty-waking was stiberb ; drinking warm milk magnificent. At college 1 wrote Many essays on the subject . My oration at the Junior exhibition was, "The (bun try;" and at commencement, "The dig nity of Labor." 1 received the degree of A. II , (rendered by a classmate, who had the Latin Oration, "A lfusTEit•") spent a yea' in the country; went ,West, got lust on a " grand prairie ;" prPi rie hens by the bushel, and finally wound up my tour by purchasing three " Ugh ties." Returning, entered a law office ; read all the books on " Real Estate," from Blackstone to Hilliard ; was admitted to the Bar, and wound up that affair by full ing head-over-heels in love with a very beautiful and accomplished girl. I had chosen law as a profession, and it was arranged that we should be married as soon as I was established in business. I was troubled with many doubts about my capacity for the law. I could pettifog tolerably well ; my preceptor said 1 would certainly succeed, and make a good law, yer ; and he, being Judge, should have judged correctly. I ruth •r thought not. has many longings for a rural life; heard ninny constantly speaking of it in the highest terms. What lif so delightful as a farmer's ? what profession so lucra tive? what life afforded so much leisure for readin;r, thinking., writing,,and having a good time generally so free from cure and vexation of spirit? Every one wish ed for a farm ; every one was going to re tire to a firrm, and fatten his own pigs, as soon as he could arrange his affairs for so doing. I began to think of the subject ; became excited ; was more and more impressed with the idea that this was my vocation ; a country life was one that l always liked ; what a fool to force myself ohm. of the ,di, rection of nay natural tastes L,l rout/ work, and should be getting' a stock of health very different from that usually ac quired in an office. I talked over the matter with my "intended." She was delighted with the idea ; " it was so sweet to be always-in the country ;to run over the fields to. wander through the wood and brake, and recline under the 'shady trees; "pu tllloo recubans sub t, gmine /uqi;" to always have horses at one's command ; to feed and fondle . nimals and raise poultry ; and then, should we not always be together? Oh 1 ecstasy ! Do let us go and live on a farm." Of course we wore fitted for farm life ; it was so very simple We could and would work.; - but that would not be ne; cessarY only for a few years; for was it net lucrative—very, very lucrative ? tlnd then what pleasure to work for those we love, and that work, too, on tr firm. We should live so cosily, could read ninny nooks together• during the long winter evenings ) while the winds were whistling and the aricitv drifting, against thb win ', down. • " The conversation, and the two soft arms around_my neck, with se — v — Cral kisses, de cided the matter, and made me a farmer ; a farmer and dairyman of Herkimer eon ty In'the valley, 4 of the Mohawk, near a thriving almost -surrciunded by hills, which 'ficarlirise:to the dignity . of „mountains, lay one.hundred.aeresifwitich had belonged, to my:family., It was in a very romantic region;; a •lovely spot for poet. or painter. , That -farm Was-nang; under:thd;will of my MoStrei'eellent father, I-had offered E , A,M:B2, WOl2, TIM VEREELT, GESAIIB. • - it for sale many times, ebiefli - ihrongli tenant, who rented the premises at. one hundred dollars per qnnum. He had been on the place several years ; was al ways talking of leaving ; thought the rent high, and said he labored incessantly to find the a purchaser. No purchaser ever came, and how 1 blessed my stars that he - never had come. I packed my trunk and started for Her. kitner county. It was in August; we were in the midst of the "heated term;" no rain ; not a breath of air; the great red sun canie out every day like a ball of fire; the very pavement scorched your feet. Arrived at the farm, I found they were busy at haying. How pleasant it was to be in the country ! here was air, room, and ,shade—beautiful scenery, hill, dale; and waving woodland. How the lusty arms rolled up the hay ; how cheerily the work went on; what appetites, what health. I felt I had chosen rightly; in the coun try only was happiness to be found. I ran over my farm; 'was struck with the great quantity of stones lying abtiut In all directions ; never had noticed it before. I frequently heard the mowers exclaim, " R-i.p! there she goes !" followed by some very large words, as the scythe grap pled with and endeavored to decapitate a " hard-head " 1 thought the large boy who bad charge of the grindstone earned his money ; and subsequent experience in that line has confirmed that impression. I saw a sort of rubbish enclosing several fields ; was told that it was a fence, tho' toy tenant added that he had used a boy and dog as fencing material ; he found it a " good institution ;" less laborious and less expensive than rails; " they did the thing up to' the handle." The buildings would have delighted an artist. I could discover no doors to the barns ; their places were supplied by rails thrown across, forming a very substantial fence On one Side of the large barn I counted three.boards; but then that side was already filled with hay, and the root was good The house was in somewhat better condition; many of the windows had been boarded up, which my tenant Said made it much cooler in summer, and warmer in winter; " too many windows made it bad." 'lt was an old-fashioned house, sotidlr,put together, and had re sisted time aud tenants,tolerably well. There were a few noble trees standing in the lawn, but the shrubbery had long since fallen before the bon vinans of the herd ; not a vestige remaibed: for this being the best inclosed. part of the farm, was used as a night pasture and a general /' pound " I had fifteen Intbdred dollars in bank; this was the in , ,tina or my capital: had • intended it for the purchase of my law li brary, and setting up in business, but on a farm fifteen hundred dollars would go a long way. I determined to repair the house and out-buildings ; and thought I could do it for two hundred dollvs. I had several carpenters to examine and make estimates. They thought it could be done; selected four; they did' not like to work by the job ; job-work never gave satisfaction ; advised me to hire by the day. Hired by the day and went to-work in earnest. We tore down and put-up ; shingled, under silled, and put in beams ; teams were set drawing lumber, and lime, and stone, and' sand, and brick. Went into the woods, and chopped, and scored, and hewed ; the oxen hauled it down ; the whole lawn was covered with the long smooth sticks. A foolish neighbor thought "we ,werp going to build a village ;" but my head carpen ter soon showed him that he didn't know quite so much as he thought he did. On the first of November the whole af- fair was finishee,li.and the boys celebrated it by getting all the girls in the neighbor hood together, and " raking it, down" to the time of two violins I had never soon real dancing" before; the whole earth shook under the vigorous shuffling "of the lighrfantastic toe," but the carpen ters assured me that the out-buildings were safe, and would stand. During the early part of the evening I lost two extremities of my best coat at catching me who can ; ' they parted just at the waist; and so great was the . trampling of feet that I did not discover the loss until I had gone several times ....around the ring, and gaining on my heir pursuer, came up behind and saw the black flags waving over her head. 'French] broadcloth stood below par at that mar ket; but then I saw sO many pleasant 'fades looking at we during the rest of the night. My tenant, next morning, informed me he had cleared by the operation seven dui- lars and, fourteen cents, and' that he con sidered-" a fiddle a good institution," es pecially when "everything was done up to the handle." Settled with carpenters, ma sons, laborers, tradesmen, etc., etc , and . bound, by careful estimation, that I was out of pocket just nine hundred and thir ty-one dollars and one cent, all told. The head carpenter " could not believe ;" and "there must be a mistake " I thought very likely, for bank'aucounts are usually incorrect, and addition " is a hard road to travel I believe." . That fall we' pat up quite a string of frnce with hewed timber, and it looked S.emarkably neat and substantial. Pur ehast d hay, grain, etc.; of my tenant ; _and by calling th last year's rent fifty dollars, he agreed to vacate the premises. Hired a man to take charge of the farm; went home ; was married ; shipped all kinds of furniture and curious things ; bid good bye to our friends, and were off to our new 'Ane. • We arrived on the fifteenthi3f Decem ber. There had been a fall of snow, and' we came up from the village in an open sleigh. The day was lovely ; the air do lieious; and how beautiful the hills looked ktillions of frosty gems flaqied.ffrO p 'the the trees :arid what a magnificent - pros peat:tislicd from' the lawn " Was it not truly a delightful 'spot? and how glo- . rious it'must, be in - stuntner." • We were very busy and very happy.,in arranging our furniture. hoLiks, pictures, etc., etc. - Dly man had filled the' cellar CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, OCIOBER 25, 1861. With - fruit and vegetables, hauled-up • the I winter's wood and put up the bto_yes._ Everybody called on us, and we re turned everybody,'s call. We congratu lated ourselves many times on our pleas ant home and bright prospects for the fu ture I was advised to go into the dairy business as easy, pleasant, and very profit able. Aly neighbor—pious and estimable citizen—came up one day and informed me that he was going out of the business, his land needed ploughing; ho had, fifty cows, and proposed selling one-half of the best to me; would work off the rest to ,drovers, etc. 1 went down and looked at the animals; selected some of the finest looking, but was told they were nearly worthless for milk— he didn't Wish retake advantage of me. I agreed to let 'him pick me out twenty four of the choice cows and paid for them 4 ‘ according."-- Drove the cows home. Heard a few days after that my. neighbor had changed his mind about ploughing up; wouldn't': Sell any more cows, but would buy to replace those sold, and " run his dairy another season " The individual smiled when he told are ; probably he was pleased at the great amount of butter and cheese I should make from my annirnals. My man told me he feared there was hardly hay enough for stock; told him to feed carefully, and see that' nothing was wasted. Occasionally looked at my stock, noticed them particularly in the spring. Never saw a greater number of ribs in one collection—never. Was perfectly- satis fied that nothing had been wanted in the shape of fodder. Commenced feeding grain ; was edited awry and was absent several days. Attended county Court; came back and found twenty very small cows and oxen shut up together in one of the empty barns. They were crying most piteously, and my whole dairy sympattliz ing with them, "brayed horrible discord." 'i A nYetunr u Ledt t .". 4 l';i7Tisaa r ',:::traussrp' d ake." Learned that the minature animals had had no food for the last two days; expos tulated with him for such barbarity, and was told this was the course pursued by the best dairylne'n to obtain a good " run• net " What in the deuce was thot Y R was explained. Toward evening Made some remarks to wife on the sufferings of` the animal creation in general, and of ours in particular. She became very much ex cited ; said it was a " burning shame ;" that the " poor little darlings" shOuld be fed ; and hastened to the barn to give Or ders and see them obeyed ; finished shav ing and followed after. Met wife return ing, and weeping bitterly. I coubju,'t discover for some time what it was4 , llll about ; but at length pather ec t sobs, there was not "even one little bossy" in the barn ; nothing but two long rows of bides. She said the brute of a man was laughing heartily, although for her part she c,iuld not tell at what. Comfort ed my little wife, and went to the barn, where I found a load of the "'poor little darlings," stripped of 'their habiliments, and laid out in state on a stone boat, pre paratory to being hauled to their last rest ing place in the deep mid quiet wood How ghastly they looked—poor babes, they had -" A n obscure ftineral No trophy. no.word, nor batehment o'er the'r bones, No noble/ Ur, nor formal ostentation." I commenced learning to milk, felt somewhat timid on my one-legged seat, under an animal ; couldn't get the stream into the pail: My hands became painful but I was determined to learn ; so I ex erted all my strength ; when suddenly, " the stars snone :" I was felled to the earth, the milk flew, midi he pail and stool were trodden under foot: I picked myself up and left. The dairymaid and man seemed to be mightily tickled at some thing as I stepped out the door. I dick% inquire as to what. I noticed one day that some twenty , of my cows were lame ; they grew worse ; but I couldn't tell what was the matter. Ily neighbors saw them ; they didn't know ; but thought it was the " hoofail " I got a cow doctor, and he pronounced it that disease, for which there was no cure More were taken lame • it was evidently going through my whole stock ; I was taken myself about this titue,with a slight attack of the blues, but put on a " stiff upper lip " Heard of a large dairyman who was treating the disease scientifically and successfully in his own dairy; went to see hint, and found him engaged at the work. The foot of the animal was drawn up with a rope which was fastened to a beam ; an assistant steadied the lee, while " the boss" eureut the centre of the foot The blood flowed freely, and he was sev eral times thrown down against the side of the barn He informed me that it was a very laborious practice, but that he was determined to "kill or cure." I could not doubt it. 1 concluded not to follow in the foot.:. steps of that practitioner; went home and procurred " Youatt ;" found a remedy. and applied it with success. Subsequent ly 1 learned that the operator had drawn out half of his dairy into the woods, and finished the business by applying a smart stroke of the axe to the head of each ani mal. My cows became much weakened by the disease. We kept the valitudinari. tins in tbe barn ; anti I hero first learned the art of MI ing an animal in feeble health. My man and I performed that pleasing operation. twice a day for some weeks.— Dave orders to the attendtints On ac count to let. the. patients leave the barn. I came home froth the village one warm,, sunny day, just as the groand wee break.. ing up, and found three of - them lit health—out and out.

We raised the animal . and stabled her; commenced at the se cend, And _became - excitett;:wa.s.: - ni)t no tioing unything about,-and. had got her half—way-up,- when. I heard- a shout of laughter. MS! friend, the Colette), with a whole bevy of ladies from the village, were surveying the operation from their carriage. He was anxious to learn how we liked farming; had come to make a call, and see how we were gettinkalong. That cow was dropped on the spot; and I told my man to hunt up a couple of fel lows and get the-animals out of sight, at d i " hereafter to obey orders." . This spring, horses were high ; -I had used through the winter a pair which .a gentleman from the village had wished me to take for their keeping. It was I May , and he wanted the anin als. - Went about the country and endeavored to get a team.—llorses were often brought to we for sale, but they ranged too high for my pinse.—One day two men came with l a pair : price two hundred and fifty dol lars; they were good sized animals and tolerably well matched. I rather liked • their appearance; thought, I would pur chase; drove them round the lawn and !put, them before a loaded wagon; they moved it . easily; were only seven years old, and seemed kind and gentle. I was not aware then that horses in this region never gpt beyond seven yeavul age. I noticed a peculiarity aboutlhe u.outh of one Of the animals: " What made that horse's mouth look so?" " Which horse ? where Q didn't see anything." We open ed the mouth -and found the lower jaw stunted; it had stopped growing after Izettine; half the length of its untfe. The man thought it did look a little singular, but never thought of it before. The other man said "that was nothing; it was "a parrot mouth;" quite common in the, country, and was a sign ()fa tough beast ; didn't hurt the animal at all, and would never be noticed. I examined the limbs of both and made an offer. The was purchased "at a bargain"- fbr two hundred and forty dollars - , cash . in hand. I had rare times with those..olts. Poor old fellews; wEat quantities of air they used; how they labored with the atmos phere, what blasts they blew from their smoking nostrils ! Parrot was a.great eater of grass;- I often saw him down on his knees taking his meals, after he was turned out to pas ture. The Colonel called him the "pious horse;" but he grew thinner and thinner; and I was forced to keep him iu the sta ble on oats and soft mashes. It was the tenth of May; for the last week there had been frequent. slinWers The sun came out warm, and the great snow-banks of the week before were all gone. Vegetation began to shoot up vigorously; trees were pu'ting forth their leiv , os • ,whpe the robin, the oriole, and the phcebe•bird were busy . uilding their nests in the branches, and filling the air with melody. . Our cows were turned out to pasture; they were now perfectly healthy, and in tolerable condition, but gave very little milk. We expected, however; from the change of food, to have a tremendous in crea e; and then cheese-making would commence. Parrot and mate were har nessed and attached to one of Mason's best, plows, and brought round to the garden ; 'and I for the first time really took hold of the handles of, that implement with the full determination not to look back; for the spring had opened and farm work now to commence in earnest. And this is the way I commenced farming. TIIE SOCIAL, lionnon..—An untidy woman ? Little soap and much perfume. Plenty of jewelry and a lack of strings and buttons. silks and laces, and tattered utderclothes Diamond rings and soiled collar. Feathers and flowers, and bat tered cap frill. Silk stockings and shabby boots. Who has not seen her? if you are a person of courage, enter her dress ing room. Make your way over the carpet, through mismated slippers, tippets, belt ,ribbons, hairpins, pictorials, magazines, fashion prints and unpaid bills, and look vainly round for a chair that is sufficient ly free from dust to sit down upon. Look at the dingy muslin window curtains, the questionable bed-quilt and pillow cases, the unfreshness of everything your eye falls upon. Open the closet door, and see the piles of dresses, all wanting "the stitch in time," heaped pell-mell upon their pegs; see the bandboxes without covers, and all the horrible paraphernalia of a lazy, inefficient, vacant, idealess fe male monstrosity, who will of course be chosen out of a bevy of good, practical, common-sense girls, by some man who prides himself on " his knowledge of wo man," as his "helpmate for life !" We use the word "monstrosity" advisedly; for even in the cell of a prison we have seen. wretched - females trying, with wo man's beautiful .instinct, to brighten and b. autify the bare walls with some rude colored print. Thankheaven, the untidy woman is the exception; not the rule. Would we could say the same of the un tidy man. • 1 KNox went down to the court' house the other day, to raise:. some money by I ortgaging some property.

Shortly after the battle of Carnifex Fer ry, communication .was 'cut off between the Federal camp at Elkwater and that at Cheat Mountain summit, the rebels holding possession of the road. It . . was necessary that communication should be reestablished between Gen. Reynolds at the former plaie and Col. Kimball at the . latter. Several attemps had been'made, but the messengers had been killed in every case. Four had already set out and had been nicked off. The whole camp at Elkwator was in danger, and it was necessary to get word to the summit at once, and another young man volunteered, but he, too, was never heard from after he left the camp. The commanding officer then stated to his men their danger, and called for somo one to volunteer to perform the risk. Not a man resrnded in all the camp, until at last ono was found in Capt Loomis's Michigan battery. . _ . . Henry 11. Norrington, of Detroit, of fered to peril 11'4, he to save the 6fliers. Ile started out and succeeded in eluding the enemy, crawling miles upon his hands' and knees, with his message rolled up and in his mouth, ready to swallow in a moment if he was taken, and finally reach ed the friendly camp. lie also had to return, and after reciving his dispatches, set out in the night, the whole camp shaking hands with him, never expecting to see him again. 'He traveled all night, guided by the north star, and the next Clay crawled as bcfdre on his hands and knees. lie finally struck the main road a few miles below Elkwater Seeing one of the enemy's cavalry horses tied to a stake by the roadside, and the owner not visible, he crept up, cut the rope with his knife, and rode off in hot haste with shots whiz zing around him. lie arrived safely in camp and deliv ered his dispatches, being the only sur vivor of the six that had attempted the perilous task. As a reward for his bravery and daring, he was promote in the 'company to be chief of a piece; and was placed upon the commanding general's staff as Mounted Orderly. lie was presented ly the cap tain of his company with a sword, and by his general with an elegant revolver,. lie was greeted upon parade with ni.te cheers bj the entire company, and his pay more than doubled. Besides this, favorable mention was made of his feat and the grtat service he had performed, in the official report tbrwarded,to the Department at Washington. • The Mysterious Newsboy The romancer will find a capital subject for a newspaper tale is the following which is vouched for us truthful by the New Orleans Picayune : A bouithe year 1856, a bright-eyed intel ligent, delicate ; and rather effeminate look ing lad who gave his name as Newsom, made application and obtained employment atthe Cressent office,,as a sub newspaper carrier. Ile was then out fourteen years of age ; very modest and reserved but ever prompt and faithful ; and gradually earned the repu tation of being the best carrier in the office of that journal. Newsom(a good name for a currier) be came well known to his fellow carriers, and from his uniform good deportment, won their respect and esteem, while his reserve preven ted all familiarity. For three years he made daily rounds of his route, through the cold Musts of winter's early mornings and the pi,iless pelting rain storms, without a mut , ' mur, and ever looktng brig ht and cheerful. In the latter part of 1858 News in suddenly disappeared, much to the regret of his fellows; and more especiali . to, his employers. Bei gave no intimation of his future course, us to where he was going, er what pursuit he intended bereafte'r to follow. TiaretsMark, sullen shadow of &perdue years stole by and Newsom bectithe forgott.m it the busy whirlpool of the world's affairs Some days a ago there was seen seated on the porch of a pretty cottage, a sweetly dressed lady of between nineteen and twenty summers whose w.. 11 developed rounded fig ure.smiling face was of 'itself a picture of happiness. Seated near her was --not Newsom, but eoinebody else, for Newsorn Wil.9 the identical lady herself 1 And thus eic plainer! the erne,but romantic history, — cilth4; mysterious noweb3y:. „ • THE insurgents Pretest that they'won't pay their debts to the people of the Uni ted States; and yet the United States . trolips are determined to dra n them. at sight ! -. • fsl 50 per annum I n advance $2, 00 If not paid -In advance yAgIET)LES REMORSE.-A co,reSpondent of the Portland Argus writing from Wisconsin, at the resi dence of General Jones, who acted as second in the Gilley duel, says : "Learning; I was from Maine, the gener al alluded to the affair, expressed admiration for Mr. Cilley, and deep regret for the unhap py termination Of the issue. It may not be generally known that the latter portion of the life of the murderer was unhappy in the -ex treme. • Graves died the victim of regrets and the most horrible of horrors. Two year's he passed in sleepless nights, with rooms lighted, and with-watching friends, whom he was unwilling to have for IL moment leave his presence .— lle consumed the hours of night in walking to and fro, in frightful starts, in moans, in groans, in tears, and in wild ex clamations. At length, worn out with men tal ang,ni •h, grief unmitigated, and wasting watchfulness, the unhappy man expirea.— Thtis I had it from a clergyman, his r, eigit hor, and thus was avenged the name of the murdered Cilley." 'TRUE TO THE LIFE.-A school teacher in Alabama had among her scholars one incorrigible little Miss, upon whom "moral suasion" seemed toliaVe — iiii effect. One day, out of patience with some . misde meanor on the part of the child, she called her up to her desk and expostulated with her on the impropriety of.her conduct, setting forth the enorniity of her offences, etc. The little girl paid little attention at first, but at length she seemed to realize her guilt more fully, and watching her teacher closely, seemed to drink •in every word she said. The lady began to have hope ; her instructions were evidently making an impression. At length she made a slight pause —foribreath, I suppose—when up spoke the child, with the utmost grav ity— Wily, Miss Susan, your upper jaw don't move a bit !" That was the end of' that discourse. JusT_So.—As a general thing it is rather irksome for hard-working, out-of door business men to accompany the " winnnin folks" about town shopping. It probably was the "gentleman" from the " rooral deestricks," who came into a dry-goods store up town a few days since, out of breath., exclaiming, with a sort of good-natured impatience to two women whom he was trying to accompany, " I would as lief try to chase a. cow all over the pastor, as to keep track of ycou, gol darned of I hadn't." ETERNITY has no grey hairs. Here the fl were fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies, the world lies dowrn in the sep ulcher of ages; but time writes no wrinkles on eternity ! Stupendous thou ght , I Earth has its beauties , but time shrouds 'them for the grave ;.its honors are but the sunsk.hp of an hour; its palacesthey iretut gilded sepulchres ; its pleasures—they are but bursting bubbles. Not so in the untried bourne. In the'dwelling of the Almighty cane come no footsteps- of decry. Is way will know no darkening—met nal splehdor forbids the approach of night. flow bravely a man can walk the earth, bear the heaviest burdens, perform the severest duties, and look all men square in the face, if he only bears in his breast a clear conscience, void of offence toward God or man. There is no spring, no spur, no inspiration like this. To feel that we have omitted no task, and left no obligation unfulfilled, this fills the heart with satisfaction and the soul with strength PUZZLE T heyt eIL mei a 111 h a Nd som eye T, A Nda LLT hela die ss Ay : "Delo OK a thim,t he Dea Rol D ma N, G row sYo U Nge Rev ER Yd ay; An Dwhe nea Chfr I end a sks; A tyou raG e Ho wca Me y ouf Reef rom i L L;S?" lal wa Ysans we Rinmy yo U T h I pa I dtnypr I nte R'S bi L Ls."r THE following is a copy of a wil • le' by a man who chose to be his own 'law. yer: ",This is the last will and testament of me, John Thomas, I give all my things to my relations, to be divided among them the best way they can.
