There 'was 'a very large attendance

was but one topic, but that was all-suf

" - Good'afternoon ladies," she said, in
her usual quiet, lady-like way. "I am
glad to see so large and happy a.gatih

meeting.". And then she ,proceeded to
the table„helped herself to a blocklof
patchwork, inquired for the sewing
, which having ,received, she eat
down in the only vacant ,chair, and
commenced hemming a
,very red bird
with a yellow wing to a very green
tWig; which' latter had been hemmed
'On to a square piece of 'white cloth;
and the whole, when coni'pleted, was
designed to form the twentieth part of
a bed-spread. She seemed all engrossed
with the bird's bill ; and spoke tb no
one. Everybody wondered if she had
heard what they were saying when she
came in ; but hoc placid countenance
soon reassured the most fearful, and ev
ery one longed to commence a personal
attack.
Old grandma W: was the first to yen.:
ture. She meant "to do up - the mat

pect her of curiosity. •So she began by

If ever there were rapid 'progress

read of high-souled, chivalrous devo

them, of sorrows too deep ?Or utterance,
and tragedies stern and terrible. Mys

wild, exultant shout of jubilance and
glee ;—and in a moment, a prolonged
and tragic Wail of agony and sorrow.
Here,is a bright, beaming face, cover
ing, perchance, a gnawed, cankered
heart; there, a, seemingly, staid, sober
countenance, chiding, it may be, a soul
full of hypo l eritical gladness. And all
around us, we see a 7 Wend struggle in
the battle of life;—sonic, combatants
with closed lips, and firm, unflinching
eye ; others, with trembling aspect, giv
ing vent to sighs and groans.
Oh ! the mystery and the burden of
life. To-day weAntee the busy streets,
our thoughts the *bile reaching back
to old historic lands, and scenes, 'and

which is eating away the heart of the

There was a man who made three di

.the marketable ; - 2nd, what the hogs
would eat; 3d, what the hogs wouldn't
eat. Ho sold the first, fed the second to
the hogs, and,consumedithe third in his
family. He refused to send ;his chit•
dren to school, regarding eancation a
waste of time and money. He;furnish
ed scant clothing to himself and family.
He gave nothing to churches, to chari
table objects, or to beggars. His purse
had many inlets, and no outlet. Many
will conclude that thi4 man grew rich
and was prosperous. However, he did
not grow rich, nor did he prospo A
bad quality of: food, Scanty raiment, and
overwork, unide the doctor a constant
visitor. The. undertaker was several
times called in. Of his six children,
two, a boy and a girl, survived and
grew to manhood and womanhood ;
both hopelessly ignorant, ashamed of
their clothes, ashitmed of their home,
and of !their parents. The boy landed
in the penitentiary, and the girl dis
graced her sex. linppily, her parents
were beyond disgraCe.
This man was not economical, but
blindly mean; Ho stands for a class in

economy and meanness. ' -
Years ago, when what is now Wash
ington was a vacant expanse of upland
and marsh, the owners of the city plot
saw , a chance to put money in their pur
ses. The owners of the upland reasoned.
that the city must be built ou their pro-:
perty. They put the city lots into mar
ket at exorbitant prices. The owners
of the marshy portion came forward
and said to' the public, " We will give
every other lot on Pennsylvania avenue
to men who will, within a certain time,
erect thereon comfortable brick build
ings." The upland men laughed. They
said, and it looked reasonable, l that the
city must stand east of the capitol, and.
they held pH* up. Thelaugh did not
prefle Ely conie:in at that point in Wash
ington history; for The liberality of the
owners of the ground west of the capi
tol told. The marsh was filled W.—
f.-lin:di capital embraced the opportunity
to secure lots free, and the owners of
'the Marsh lands grew - rich by giving
away half llayi were worth. Tho city
of Washington lies wcst of the capitol,.
Year:; ago (.7( tigress granted a land
i
subsidy to a ra lway company in 1 Ili
'lois. -, 1 IL was loudly denounced by the
penny-wise people is a grab and a steal.
But. it trebled the value of the -remain
ing public domain along the 1 i nes of the
railroad subsidied and its branches. It
developed an idle expanse into a rich
and prosperous kitate, quadrupled pro
ductive and -taxable values, and doubled
the population in a decade. That was
pound wise, It was economy in its
higlicst manifestation.
Later, Congress gave { much territory
to the several enterprises which, com
bined,. eonst.ititte the Central Pacific
railway—the 'greatest undertaking and
the grandest triumph. of these times.—
The credit of the nation mfas likewise
pledged for its benefit. Congress was
rather lavish in aid of this great enter
prise. ,4ut who that' has considered its
present and thought of itsfuture, wend
to-day vote to recall 'the gifts of land
and leans of credit, and consent to blot
the road from the railway system of the
country : r 7 t . t.t 1,171 UT, 1 - 1 1, Wl1Ing west
along its line. Towns are springing up,
and the child is born whit shall behold
a etift tinuotis settlement :crow the con
tinent. If there were doubts as to the
prolibt of such a highway, they have
betai dissipated,; and it is now shown
that! a- single road is not equal to the
nees of trans-continental commerce.
Ala ig the line of the road, the reserved
1
public domain is to-day worth as much
as the whole was worth before the road
was subsidied, and doubtless more.
Was this land grant an extravagance?
Not if the residue of the public domain
is worth as much now as it was before
the grant was made. The 'nation Wants
no unimproved lands. If by judicious
ly giving half of it away, the balance
can be brought into, market, sold to and
improved by actual settlers, within
century, the►? to give the ,half away is
economy. IG is business. It goes for
little that the nation offers its lands for
a nominal price to actual liet tiers, unless
settlers' can get to the lands, and hav
ing got to them, can get to market with
their produce. No settler wants to go
out of the world for a farm because it is
cheap. Land is not cheap at any price,
or at n►} price, if the means for its im
provement are wanting. We submit,
therefore, that the interest of the na , r
Lion lies in linrdhig, every reasonable
encouragement to the: construction of
highways through the public domain,
that its unimproved' lands may find rea
dy side; and purchasers a, convenient
n►arket.
Had tile I'ublie'Ledger• beep controll
ed as at present, when nationhl aid was
extended to the great improvements
mentioned foregoing, it would of course
have opposed it as a Swingle, or 'a great,
robbery of the treasury for the enrich
ment of a few speculators•; and, we may
say, with th&atne effect upon the ac
tion of Congress and the President, as
its virulent, as well as violent,
,though
impotent opposition to the encourage
ment of the Northern Pacific railroad,
has so recently had in the same quar

A writer in the Maine Farmer cont
inents as follows on this subject : A
wonderful magnetism has been obser
ved to exist between the roots of a tree
and a bone deposited in the ground
within its reach. For a
,stone.:or,•any
thing not necessary for its sustenance
this, is not-the + case. The greed And
alarcity with which a fruit tree Sends
out its- roots and binds ,all the, bones
within its reach withmany,little cling
ing cords of affection, affords .poßitive
proof that a supply of their most vital
nourishment is drawn from them.
t
When setting young tr ies for .an -or
chard, a quantity of b nes scattered
astound the roots will nehance the
value of the tree for all time. Though
nature's laboratory grinds slow yet 'it
grinds fine and 'bones placed in the soil
near fruit trees yield a continual feast
to the tree. A smart business in l'Ag
ricultural Mining" might be done in
and around some out-huildings and the
sly. places where huge 'henps, of •old
shoes, steel springs from ladles Slcirts,
broken dishes and bone deposits haVe
been accumulating for years. Bones of
animals lie bleaching in many places,
which, if gathered up might be turned
to a good account.. An excellent super
phoshato May be made by ttdAing a
hogshead, putting in a layer of -bones,
then another layet consisting of ashes
wet down, then another layer of bones
and ashes, and soon untill tilled. Keep
'wet and *ait until the bones are re
duced or tendered so soft' as to be easily
pulverized. I know a few farmers who
practice this method and reap a rich
reward for their pains. •
There is no virtue so truly great and
Godlike as Justice, since to be perfectly
just is an attribute In the Divine na ,

ities, is the 41ory of a man.- it uch an
one, who has,-the public admin stration
GI his hands. acts like the representa

virtuous and punishing the offender.—
By the extirpating of a crimp:fel, he
averts the judgment of Heaven, when
ready to fall upon an impious i r people ;
or as Cato expresses it much better, in
a sentiment conformable to his charac
ter : " When by just vengeance impi
ous mortals perish, the gods behold their
punishment with plea Sure, and lay the
uplifted thunderbolt aside."
When people once lose their regard
for justice, (as they did in the M'Far
land trial) ; when they do not look upon
it as something venerable, holy and in
violable ; when any of them dare pre
sume to lesson, affront, or terrify those
who have the distribution of ik in their
hands ; when a Judge is capable of be
ing influenced by any thing but law, or
a cause be recommended by, anything
that is foreign to its own merits, homey
venture to pronounce that such a na
tion is hastening to its ruin. I always
rejoice, when I hear that persons insti
tuting suits in'courts of law, are men of
upright and inflexible tempers, who in
the execution of their country's laws,
can overcome all private fear, resent
ment, solicitation,:and.even pity itself.
Such nien are to beTeekoned among the

on such an occasion shall it be possible

Shall we not use the protection Of those
laws to punish them, which they have
to defend themselves, -and raise merit
from obscurity—attacking vice by set
ting innocence in a proper light? As
this produces el,Tant writings and gal

also, as in the case of Mr. Graham,
brings - forth tyn t rious productions in
men who are netilispable of distinguish

fame in men of true wit and gallantry

same desire in men who

have the am
bition, without pr,. Per faculties, runs
wild, and discovers itself in a thousand
extravagances, by which they would
signalize themselves from others, and
gain a set of admirers. But while we
know there are many such persons, we
know, also, that there are many noble
souls filled with lofty impulses, and
that „there are " friends that come to
tried-ones like as ministering spirits."
If there is so much vice among man
kind, and so much goodness, shall net
the efforts of our lives be to. diminish
the evil, and the good increase?

THE SEX OF Eaas.—ls there any way
of foretelling the sex of eggs? Yes.
When On examining Linegg by holding
it bet Ween the eye and the light of the
sun, or of a candle, the :avifying. speck
is seen exactly on - the top; such an egg;
it is said will produce a male bird ; but
if on the contrary, the Speck be on one
side, it will procluee, ii'female. It is said,
also, , ,that the sex cif the embryo bird
maybe distinguished by the shape of
the egg; as if the egg is elongated in
shape it will contain a male, but if
more globular it will contain a female.
So that if these indications be true either
sex may be propagated at pleasure,
which Is not yet known-to be the case
in any other class of animal creation.—
