Uow To lima. EGGS A YEAR.-it has
been an interesting question, and one
that has been arg,sed and experimented
on from the earliest history of the world
to the present day, namely, the best,
ohapest, and safest mode of putting, tip
eggs to keep vood the greatest length of
time. Nearly every farmer has experi
mented on it more or less, and the long
est I have ever heard of eggs being kept
was six months, I believe.
But E think E have struck: a. plan (or
rather the hen struck it) that will settle
the question ferall practicable purposes.
The discovery Ras in this wiseZ 4 0'ver
a rear ago, I had some hens laying in a
follow gum, filled or nearly full of un
leached ashes; the gum, was upset by
accident, and I paid no further attention
to it, until I needed some ashes this
spring in matting mortar. In taking the
ashes of the ground at the end of the gum,
I dug out four eggs that had been lain
there one year ago; they were perfectly
sound and good. We u.s;ed One immedi,
ately after finding them; and kept the
others- four weeks and then used them,
and found that they were as' good as
if they had nrt been laid a week:
Piero is no doubt that these eggs
were laid in the unleached ashes, previous
io-.the gam being upset, over one year
ago; the, upsetting °covered them with
ashes, which were leached in course of
time by the weather. . Let some cf your
readers try this, and 'satisfy themselves
that eggs can be kept fresh and good
one year. lam trying the experiment
with a larger lot, and will let you know
how it ,succeeds at the proper time.—
American Fanner.
er The stream of your life is not in
all things like an ; ordinary stream; you
can't inter that it is pure because you
distinctly see the dirt at the bottom of ft.
It seems singular that the fierce
flame in the bosoms of some of our
eh irming rebel women does not set
taeir cotton on fire.

MARIET APRIL 5, 1862.
The Daughter-in-law.
I=
Mrs, Teinkins' parlors were in apple
pie order—not a speck of dust on the
shining pianonot a stray shred on, the
velvet carpet, not an atom of ashes
under the well filled grate, For Mrs,
Tompkins was one of those thrifty souls
who keep up appparences in spite of
everything, and delight in handsomely
furnished parlors, while thekitehen is
stinted to the closest degree of ,Parsi ,,
mony.
She was flying about, shaking out
chair-covers and arranging the little
el - Ana ornaments on the mantle, was
Mrs. Tompkins, to a manner that be
tokened' a 'considerable amount of in
ward disturbance. There-was a jerk to
her elbow and a toss of her head, which
forebocied woe to somebody or other.
"I am clear out or patience!" ejacu
lated hire. Torpkins at last, " I don't
believe tilere ever was a poor mortal
half so badgered as I . am with poor
relations! Why couldn't Harry have
married a rich wife, while he was about
it, instead of Mary Glen, who wasnk
worth a red cent—only a governess' at
that? And .now the poor dear boy is
dead and gone, and left his doll-baby of
a wife on my hands. I declare, its
enough to make a woman crazy. Don't
see why I should be obliged to support
her just becatise she happened to be
my son's wile! Why can't she go to
work and do sometbing? Too much of
a (Inc lady, I s'pose, with her white hands
and long curls, and pink and white
cheeks. Neter brought' up to' do any
chores about the house—can't wash
disltes, nor make biscuit, nor do any
thing useful. lam tired of this sort of
business."
And jest as• Mrs. Tompkins made this
emphatic assertion, the door was softly
onened, and a delicate girl of scarcely
more than eighteen summers, glided in.
tier deep mourning, dress gave addition
al fairness to a complexion that was like
snowy wax, shadowed with the softest
rose-tint on cheek and lips, and the
timid, fluttering glance of her dark eyes
indicated her position dependant.
" eau I assist you about arranging
the parlors, Mrs. Tomkins ?" she falter
ed, as if uncertain hose her offer might
chance to be received.
'No Mrs. Tomkins, Junior, you can't!"
said the old lady, with a toss of her cap
border. " I couldn't think of allowing
such a fine lady soil her white fingers
about my work. Then—you needn't go
to crying—l don't believe in people that
have such tender feelings!"
"I did not intend to cry," murmured.
poor Mary, " but indeed / could not
help it 1"
" I tell you what, Mrs. Tomkins,
junior," said the \ old kd.y wrathfully,
" we may as well come to as understand
ing first as last. Zephaniah and me aint
rich—and we've a big family of our own,
and now that poor dear Llarry, our
eldest boy has been dead and gone for
a year," here Mrs. Torakias, Sr., me.
chanically pulled out a red bordeeed
pocket-handkerchief, and made a random
dab at her eyes, " I don't see that you
have any particular claim on us ! So
you'd better look out for a situation as
governess or to do some plain sewing,
or 'something, as soon as you can, for to
speak my mind, on it, you've been spong
he on us about long enough !"
Mrs. Tomkins stopped with her mouth
shut together like a steel trap. Her
daughter-iu-law had grown very pale.
"And while I am about it," continued
the old lady, " I may as well say that
Betty don't like it because yon insist, on
stnyin' in the parlor every time Colonel
Itealiffe calls. Ile's worth a cool half 1
million, Zephainah says and if our Betty
makes a catch of him, why the family
fortune's as good as made. Of course,
when Betty is Mrs. Col. Iledeliffe, you
won't expect her to notice you much—
she M ay give', you some sewia' to do
once in a while, but—. My gracious!
there's his carriage at the door this
minute! And he was here only yester- I
day. Biddy! run up and tell Miss Bet- I
ty to put on her pink dress, and take
her curls out of the papers—Col. Red
cliffe's at the door ! You can sit in the
kitchen while he's here, Mary, and peel
the potatoes for dinner, if it isn't too
common work for them lily fingers !
Betty don't want you pryin' round when
her beau's here ! Run—quick !"
And as Mrs. Tomkins, Jr., disappear
ed, Mrs. Tomkins, Sr., opened the door
with a simpering smile.
'• Dear me, Colonel Redclitre, who'd
have thought of seeing you ? 110 wals(

Colonel Redeliffe was a tall, elegant
looking man, whose wealth and station
in society fully warranted the calm dig
nity with which he boWed to Airs. Tom
kins' adulation.
• "'Take a seat on the sofa, Colonelr
chattered Mrs. Tomkins. "wont you
sit a little nearer the fire? Not cold,
eh.? Well it ain't so freezing-like as it
was yesterday, to be sure I I hope you
won't get impatient," 'she . giggled, "Het
ty'll be down in a minuted"
"Who will be down ?" inquired Colo
nel Redcliffe, looking; 'up from the book
he was carelesily turning over, with
some astonishment expressed in his fine
features.
" daughter !"
"I beg your pardon," said the Col
onel quietly, " there is some mistake
here, I called to see your daughter-in
law Mrs. diary 'Pomkins."
" Harry's wife 1" gasped out the mam
ma.in-law.
"And," added Col. Redcliffe, "as you
are the nearest relative 'and guardian at
present, it may be well for me to men
tion to you that I intend making her an
offer of marriage. Her beauty and grace
render her a fit wife for any man, and I
am proud to think that 1 have won her
affections. Of course I may reckon
upon your sanction and approval ?"
" Ye-yes !' stuttered Mrs. Tomkins,
who was completely taken aback by
this sudden overthrow of all her Aladdin
visions,concerning her - red-haired daugh
ter, Hetty. However, even if Colonel
Redeliffe's palatial establishment wasn't
for " daughter Betty." still it was some
thing to keep so much wealth in the
" I'll call her," she said, humidly
slipping out of the room, just in time to
arrest, the triumphant entry of Miss
Betty, with her cods all in a quiver of
oil and cologne.
" Go back, Hetty I" she exclaimed in
a stage whisper, "you're not the one
that's wanted I it's. Harry's wife I"
And she shot down stairs as fast as
possible.
";Mary dear !" she said in the softest
of tones, "you're not peelin' potatoes!
Well, you always were so obliging !
Give me a kiss love—l always did say
Harry's wife was just like my own daugh
ter ! Now run up stairs into the parlor
and see what Col. Redcliffe has to say
to your
Mrs. Harry Tompkins was uncertain
at first whether her respectable mother
in-law was not a little demented. Never
before had she listened to such softly
affectionate syllables from the old lady,
and she went up stairs like one in a
dream.
"And when may I call you mine,
dearest I" was the parting question of
Col. Redcliffe, as he held that fair young
widow to his heart.
Poor Mary ! it was so long since she
had heard the accents of love and kind
ness, and now to be the chosen bride of
one to whom the world looks, in admire
tion—ah, it seemed too much happi
ness
" Remember, I shall "not wait long I"
he added, caressingly smoothing down
the jetty tresses. "The sooner I take
you away from this vulgar and uncon
genial atmosphere, the better 1"
" Vulgar and uncongenial'!" gasped
Mrs. Tompkins, Who was listening at
the keyhole. " Well; - .1 never!"
" Mary, dear," she said 'that evening,
" I shall be sorry to lose you. You've
always been juite like my own, child,

Mary smiled quietly—she was. of too
gentle and forgiving a nature to resent
even the hypecracy of her mother-in

before her, she had forgivness for

A SINGULAR BEING.—The Lewistown
(Me.) Journal mention's the case of a re
markable young fellow belonging in the
town of Solon, Me. He has one of the
moat curiously formed heads ever known,
being apparently destitute'of'the reason
ing and moral faculties. His coubte
naire is utterly :expressionless; and yet
he has a Most astonishing memory.
He can- relate, with marvelous accur
acy, all sorts of incidents of his eiperi
ence;never forgets anything, and CM re
peat whole pages' afteitone o ttwd hear
ings; Still he is, as Isirriple as,en utter
fool in nearly every respect. In one;
however,,he ,exhibits better sause than
many wiser heads, and thatois in regard
to „intoxicating ,liquers. ~He i declarns
that he knows too.much to get drunk: and
will not touch them.. He, u sed to smoke
and chew tobacco, but has given, up
those habits ; He takes especial .de

out of adjustment, and decieyes hicprlf
With the idea that it keeps as good time
as the sun. He has, traVeled 'OVer half
the world "on his cheek," as he terms
it, and Ws just returned 'from a trip to
Europe. His style is to conceal himself
on bbard a ship or car, and after Ward
tell a piteous story to the captaiu or con
ductor, by which means he never fails
to get put through as a "dead head." He
seems to take as much interest in• the
simplest sports as a . child. He is one
of the anomalies of nature, and casts of
his head have been obtained by phre
nologists and others interested in crani
ology_
.
REGLIIIINTA.L RIVALRY.LLit is re
lated that a rivalry exists between two
regiments encamped .on the Potomac,.
which is sometimes carried to the' most
absurd extremes. As an instance of
this, it is stated on one occasion the
Colonel of one of the, regiments was
waited on by a zealous Chaplain who
wished to promote the religious interests
of the regiment. The Chaplain, was
politely, received, and, beckoned to a
seat on a chest. "Colonel," said he ele
vating his eyebrOws, "you have one of
the finest regiments in the army." "I
think so," replied the Colonel. "Do
you think you pay sufficient attention
to . the religious instruction , of your
men 2" "Well, I don't know," replied
the Colonel.
"A lively interest has been awakened
in our regiment," said the Chaplain,
"the Lord has blessed the labors of his
servants, and ten men has been baptiz
ad': (This was the rival regiment.)—
"Is that so, 'pon honor ?" asked the
Colonel. "Yes, sir." "Sergeant," said
the Colonel to an attending Orderly,
"have fifteen men detailed immediately
to be baptized. 4 I'll be d—d if they
shall get'ahead of us, any way." The
Chaplain made a note of the interview
and retired.
A number of wagons have been ob
served in St. Louis city recently, con
taining "mowers" coming from Illinois
into Missouri. .They are the advance
guard of the returning Union exile's from
the South-west, on their way to their
homes, from which they were drifen
last fall.
Rev. Dr. Smith, son-in-law of Parson
Brownlow, of Tennessee, arrived at Col

tells a sad story of the sufferings of his
fam'ily and friends, as of other Union'
men, at the hands of "Zollieoffer.
A PROMPT RunLy.—The Rochester
Union tells the following: -A man re

the employ of the Central Railroad,
Company, and is .now
,fireman on the
road, applied to Mr. Hibbard, the Super

point on the road which he , desired to

request, and said: '
"The company 'employ you, and pay

PRENTICE CUTS FROM THE 'LOUISVILLE JOURNAL.'
The rebels are tearing up the railroad
tracks rapidly, and patting down their
own tracks still more rapidly.
Why are the rebels like our gunboats?
Because they are fleet of Foot.
The rebels says that Ericsson's Moni
tor looks like a cooking-stove, We
have no doubt she is cooking-stove
enough to do the Merrimac up brown.
The Knoxville Register says that the
Confederate grins "will do some talking
at Chattanooga." We suppose then they
must be Parrot guns.
Either wing in battle will soon be
come the left wing if it stands its ground
and Floyd has command of the other

NO. 36.
The rebel Governinent at Richmond
doesn't know what amount of paper
currency it has issued. Probably it
couldn't guess within two hundred bush
els.
