This volume is one of the precursors to a host
of romances which the existing war will indubi
tably call forth; and having the advantage of an
early appearance, it has- already met with a
large sale. Many of its incidents are ex
tremely Improbable, and some of the characters
unnatural ; though in the present disjointed
times, we can scarcely call any thing unnatural
or improbable. It is, however, a very readable
book, and presents, under the guise of fiction,
the sufferings—which can with difficulty be ex
sargerated—of Union families in Eistein Tennes

Ony's Temptation.
Hurrah for Mr: Phipps I" was the cry
that rose from a group- of boys clustered
around the Glenville school house. " Hur
rah for Mr. Phipps ! 'Ph ree cheers - and a
tiger I" shouted Tommy Rich, throwing up
his cap. Such a confusion of howls was
the response to this suggestion, that Mr.
Phipps' little dog, Skip, gave one or two
wild barks, and ran under the school house
in dismay. - Fortunately Skip's master was
not far off, and as he came down the steps,
standing, a tall, dignified gentleman, in the
little crowd, the noise lulled, and the boys
closed around_him quietly.' •
That is enough of cheering, boys," said
he. "I am glad you are pleased with your
holiday and my plan for its celebration. I
leave the arrangements in your hands; only
let us remember that Washington was not
merely a patriot, but a gentleman, and
keep his birthday accordingly."
The group broke up, and_the boys went
away in knots of two or three, eagerly dis
cussing the promised pleasure. For the
coming holiday was to be celebrated in
great style, by the boys of Mr. Phipps'
school. The " Glenville Brigade," their
" company," of which they were so proud,
was to have a grand in the morning,
to end by escorting Captain Bryant to the
Hall,
where he would address them. A
speech from a prisoner escaped from Rich
mortd, a perfect hero in the eyes. of the
boys, was delight enough, one would think.
But it was to be followed by a collation in
the Hall, and in the evening -a visit with
their teacher i to that wonderful art-mirror,
the Stereopticon. Altogether it was a pro
gramme 'worthy of the patriot Washington,
and the teacher Phipps as Tom Rich
said.
" Yes, but Tom, it's, time for the brigade
to choose a new captain," said Howard
Lee." My month is upon:Satirday."
" To be sure," assented Tom.
."And we
want an c2strwgeod one for the celebration.
Who shall it •ber",
• Flaxy East,'say I," answered Howard.
" Guy Howland, sayl," interrupted Tom,
emphatically. Tell you what, Guy knows
how to make a splendid officer."
"There's half a dozen boys bigger than
he," answered Howard." " Beside& he's
turned pious, and call him a'anetik,"
"Bother I Tell you what, How., it's a
pity you're not like him," was Tom's re-
Joinder.
" Guy never tells tales of the other boys,
any way," interposed Aleek Turner, sig
nificantly.
" That's so ! Three cheers for Captain
Guy," called little Ned Willis; shrilly.
Howard bluibed . angrily. "We'll vote
on the thing Saturday,' said he r in a sharp
tone. And thug arose, the first, little cloud
over the anticipated' celebration. -
The morrow came, and paity,spirit began
to run high inthe school. Tom- and How
ard worked hard to secure 'the election of
their favorites, while many were the argu
,
flints in favor of each.
• Flaxy (03 Ikea the best 'uniform;
was the taller. Guy,- though
,young, was a
universal - fivorite ; a brother in the
army who had taught' him. to 4 t train ;"
would be the smartest . 611 teat.;- Guy `was
too small, Mazy too -
Thus the contest waged, and, boy:fash
ion, the scholars engaged in it heartily.
The candidates* themselves watched:Awe
what eagerly for the result, though pity did
nothing actively-to forwardlis own cause;
His sense of. honor was toe great for that.
But he thought -muoh-of- the-coveted
poei
tion, and was quite portal - it ifehiiroWn Timid
that he deserved it. The'zeal of . Tom and
his allies -had accomplished much in the
•
school, but their work had been 'greater in
flattering Guy's vanity, rousing his passion,
and fostering a little spirit of selfright,
swan eSS. '
Mr. Phipps quietly observant of the pro
gress of things in the school, began to fear
the celebration must be omitted, as involv
ing more evil than good.
Saturday, the election day came ; one by
one the members of the Brigade gave their
votes, and the result was—a tie!
" I declare !" shouted Tom Rich. "There
was one more on our side this morning, I
know. Who's been bought over 7" '
" Howard Lee offered a double handful
of nuts to the boy, that 'wild vote for
Flay ! I heard him?" said little Ned
Willis; for which indiscreet remark-he re
ceived a punch from Howard. -
"Tell you what, boys,
~we'll try - that
again," said Tom; but the result -was the
same. -
At last the final trial was postponed un
til the following Monday, and the boys sep
arated in great excitement. ,
" I don't care," solildquized Guy, on his
homeward way. •" I don't* see why I
shouldn't take Tom's advice, andte captain
of half the brigade, and let the otherige.
I should hive the best company, and beat
the others, out and out, I know I Mr.
Phipps wouldn't like' two parties; in the
school, but— Besides, I can't get out of
it now. I've said I would stand- for- elec
tion, and the boys on my side- wont train
with any one else. Flaxy's a mean Sallow
—that's sure I"
So Guy excitedly marched into the house
to tell his mother, who had- watched him
anxiously all the week. - •
" You see, mamma, the fellriws -wont
stand another captain, and I shall show no
spirit if I give in . now," he coneluded.„
The patient mothers smile was not Want
img; as Mrs. Howland looked at her boy.
"Do you think'it will be .worth alLthe bad
feeling, the division in the
.school, the
trouble it will give Mr. Phipps, my dar
ling ?"'
-
" But,all the big boys will be, angry with
me, mother. They want me to be obliging,
they say—and—a little fellow needn't be
put down without spirit," said Guy, im
ploringly. •
" And if he does not show spirit.? -if he
does give in, what then ?
" Why, then, I shall be called a sneak—
that's all I" said Guy, sharply, just restrain
ing himself from a violent kick at the fen
der. - think it was fortunate that - little
Pet came toddling in just then, and claimed
the boy's attention. Gny got through the
evening comfortably, and at last took the
Bible to read his evening chapter in very
good spirits. •
"Be kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love; in honor- preferring
one another! Guy put down, the book
hastily.' "How the Bible does have a verse
for every single thing I I wish—" Guy
stopped and repeated slow, "in honor pre
ferring one anotlier."
4 ‘ I might
.have expected to find some
thing like that;" and then- the• boy-wiped
away a few rebellious tears. Like the rest
of us, Guy found being good was often up
hill work. But the Bible was taken up
again, and Guy's head bent over it-thought
fully. •
" Tell you what, boys," was Tom Rich's
salutation, as the scholars thronged into the
play-ground the next Monday; "we're go
ing to elect our captain, to-day, sure."
" Wait a minute, Tom," said Guy, spring
ing up the, school house steps.. "-I want
to speak. ' Boys, I resign in favor of glaxy.
I wont be captain, any how!' -
There was great confusion at this, and
cries .of " Stuff!" " Sneak I" were heard
here - and there.
" Hold on, boys.!" cried Guy, though his
cheeks tingled. 44 I'm not done yet. l'm
not mean, but it's no way .to celebrate
Washington's Birthday by a fuss, or by di-
I riding our Brigade. We ought to be uni
ted that day, surely. I move Aleck Turner
be captainhe's just the one, so tall and
soldier-like. We want
. a splendid officer
the celebration day.- Flaxy and I will have
our turns by and by, so nobody need mind
giving in now. Please, Tom—please,
Flaxy—help me," and Guy held out his
hands to the boys.
" Oh, I don't care," said. the latter, sulk
' ily,- " give in, too, if you are bent on
not having a row."
" Three cheers for handsome Captain
Aleck I" piped little Ned-Willis. And the
boys, with a moment's hesitation, joined in
the cry.
"That was neat` in little GUY," said Tom
Rich, pulling Flaxy East aside.
" Hum I" said the latter, whistling. •
" Pay," persisted Tom, " ispose that
comes .of what How. calls being pious ?
Tell you what, it would not be bad if the
restuf us had some of that same religion."
And.Flaxy thrust his hands deeper into
his pockets, and. nodded emphatic asseut:--

The Anchor, of Hope.-
A. vessel was - about leaving ' Boston for a
port in the Mediterranean. Though' sup
plied with the usual number or anchors,
the captain ordered beside, one of a smaller
. size;. with its' flukes well pointed, and pos
sessing some other peculiarities. Through
the neglect of the workmen to whom it was
entrusted, it was not in readiness at the
appointed time. The'diseatisfaCtion of his
crew did not however prevent the captain
from tarrying for its completion. When
at length it was finished and approved, the.
vessel sailed. Propelled by favorable Winds,
she made a quick and prosperous passage
over the Atlantic: Bid, as she neared the
straits of Gibraltar, the rising 'clouds. betok
. ened an approaching storrii.. The. ship was
placed in readiness to weather the gale,
which 'soon. came in g,te.9l fury. The ves

billows that 'dashed' around and over her.
Driven before the mad tempest, she was fast

harder to do a thing the first time than the

Chickamauga comprehends a considerable
district extending up and down a creek of
that name, which . emptiesiinte the Tonnes
see., River, near Chattanooga , : running :a
Northwest course. Seven miles in a direct
line up this creek,'Or'fffieen, feraiing
course, was located Brainard, the first mis-.
sionary statioi establiiihell by thettnelican:
Board among the Cherokee Indians, in
1817. In this region this tribe held' a ter
ritory of 12,000 s q uare miles,er 8,600,000
Acres, guaranteed to theih hy the 'United!
States, two-thirds of which lay in Georgia..
Brainard was situated on the West side of
this creek. On the same side is-'situated
the., ridge of land now-called Missionary
Ridge, doubtleis from the circumstance
that the missionary station was in that
neighborhood. This station comprised a
farm of forty-five acres, which was cultiva
ted by the mission in order to introduce.
among the Indians, habits of industry and
of a civilized life. Lookout Mountain is
'seven miles due west frOM Brainerd. Prot&
its• summit a magnificent landscipe . is open;
1 1 to view, extending over the surrounding
country, and even to the Blue. Ridge.
This was the Cherokee's favorite hunting'
ground. Over it the State of Georgia ex
tended her laws, and imprisoned the mis
sionaries who refused to: take the oath of
allegiance to them. The United .States
also took the 8,000,000 acres of land, pay
ing ,them only $500,000,. 41:14 yemovirg
them beyond the Mississippi 'The' injus=.
tice and suffering attending their, removal
is little known to the present generation.
The missionaries were dramted.Mllll their
fields of labor by the armed soldiers of the
State of Georgia; treated 'with 'greatiiidigriity
and immured in the penitentiary for &year
and four months. In the meantime, the
lands of the. Cherokees were surveyed and
.divided into farms of 140. acres each, and
distributed by lottery among the irthab
ita.nts of the State. Counties were organ,
ized, , magistrates appointed, and. - lcourts
held, and the number of whites who, drOwd
ed into the territory exceeded that of the -
Indians. , There were men who took every
means to draw the Indians into intemper
ance 'end debauchery. >When the time for
removal, by a treaty negotiated byaportton
0f.,, the chiefs, came , fame i ' es were taken.
froni'their houses and falms, leaving their
furniture, and flocks, and marched under
strong guards to camps selectbd as starting
places; and such were the hardships of the
journey to their new homes, that one-fotirth
,of the nation died on the Way.
Isft strange that God should visit the,,
iniquitieiof the fathers Upon the children
of this very region, where so much injus= -
tice and wrong had been inflicted',upon a
people who had ever been .the firm friends
of the white min,. and who were laying
aside the pursuits of the chase, and "were,:

and at last they drove him, sad and
heartened, away from his home. But when
the -missionary went there, he returned,
for he knew then that be had a brother to
sympathize with and encourage him. He
was uniformly kind to those wholated and
injured him, and by degrees their hearts
became softened toward him; they began
to gather around him and seemed sorry for
the ill feeling they had formerly manifeit

him. A few came in occasionally, in the
evening, to listen to his reading -of the
Scriptures, and to his sirziple yet truthful

Ten years have passed away, and God has

The,: Jews.
The following facts concerning the sue-
COBS of Tre.cent Christian missions among
the .Jews are given in one of the pUblished
sermOns of the Rev; Dr. HOWe, the preient
efficient delegate of the Foreign Committee
ta.tie_ churches
",More Jews," said Professor Tho
in 1842, " have been converted during the
last twenty-fiVe years, than during the sev
enteen centuries preceding, their lumbers
have been variously'estimated at from 'fif
teen to twenty thousand." Of the char
acter of these Converts, another Gentian
doctor observed in-1853. " Without speak--
ing disparagingly of the heathen converts,
I maintain that the intellectual ands moral,
influence exerted by the two classes respec
tively is beyond any comparison. God has
chosen the very ablest minds of the Jews
for his Church, they are leaders Jind
guides, commentatiiii, lefacographers,-his
torians, and preachers. There is no posi
tion of honor and - inflitenee in the Church
that they have -not reached." The . first
Protestant Episcopal Bishop :of Jerusalem,
Dr. Alexander, was, you know,- a convert
froth Judaism. So were Drs. Neander, the
Church historian, and Da . Costa, Stahl,
Capadoza, and Biesenthal,,continental crit
las ;and professors. More :than sixty of
Jewish extraction are clergythen of the
Church of England, and honorably settled
in her parishes. It is estimated that not
far from three hundred are employed as'
ministers and professors in the universities
Of, ,Germany. More than twenty of He
brew birth are preaching the • Gospel of
Christ in this country. These, it seems to
us, are indications . of great, success in the
,presentation of the Christian faith to the
Israelites.

diet it is too much of a task, and that it
will. involve 'the outlay - of a great deaf of
time and some expense. Any soil which
will raise good corn will do for the vine.
The chief thing to be avoided is a wet soil.
• Such difficulty must be overcome by drain
ing; or if this is not practicable, excavate
the soil to the depth .of two feet or more,
, and put in wlayer of brick, stones and rub
bish,, to serve as a partial drain: If the
soil is in good condition, no manure need
be Used at planting, but if it is poor, add
` a quantity of well decompofed manure et

the hole about five feet in diameter, with
the bottom four to six inches deep in the
ieent r re and eight to ten inches deep at the.
circumference. It the 'centre ofthe hole
set a strong stake, four or five _feet high.
This should be placed before planting the
vine, so as to avoid injuring Ihe 'teas in

Try Sonic Dwarf Pen—Those who find
it too much trouble to furnish the tall
growing peas with brush or other support,
should try some of the dwarfs, of which
there are several varieties. They grow
from eight' to eighteen inches high, and are
quite desirable for small gardens. Tom
Thumb is one of the earliest dwarfs Y. it
grows only eight inches high, and its - pods
all come to maturity about the same time,
which is an advantage in a Market pea, but
not a good quality for one grown for family
use. By sowing at intervals of a fiw days,
this difficulty can be met. Biehdp's Dwarf
Prolific and Bishop's Long Pod are both'
good sorts, growing one 'and one and a, - half
feet, and affording several pickings. Queen
of Dwarfs is said to be fine; we tried it in
a very , dry ,season, and had a bad crop.
The Strawberry Prolific is another good
dwarf kind. McLean's; PrincesS Royal is a
recently introduced sort, highly.comraend
ed in the,catalegues. As it is not well to
give them fresh manure, sow in soil already
in-good condition, as early - as the ground
can be wOrked. The 4,Allikmay be. fifteen
inches or two feet aparVirfoording to the
height...
'-Spinach,
-Spinach at Home and Elsewbere.--Hur
but says:,.",When Lget spinach at: a res
taurant or hotel I have a - most delicious
vegetable. but at home, - . Bridget gives us . _
only a'disli of greens; what:makes the
difference?" The difference here, as in
many other things, -lies in the cooking.-
Spinach is sometimes utterly spoiled by
cooking with meat or with other vegetables: : ;
At other times' it is simply boiled and
skimmed out of the water and sent to the
table' without other. preparation. To have
- Spinach nice •. wash and pick it over and
then throwJnto , bolting-waterand , let cook
until done, drain on a colander and chop
fine. Then pa- a saucepan a lump of
batter as large as an egg for each o:art of
Chopped spinach, and when melted, put in
the spinach,, let it simmer until thoroughly
heated through, and serve with slices 'of
hard boiled egg laid over it. Some ''vary
the dish by.adding a little flour and, milk
at the last cook; some chop the spinach be
fore boiling and proceed as above.
'Economical Bread.7—Take scraps of hour
bread, break . in a pan or deep dish, cover it
with milk, let it stand until soft, then mash.
If Very sour add half'the amount of sweet
milk, if not, add sour milk ; add, half a tea
spoonful of soda to the quart, two eggs and
a little salt; stir in corn meal enough to
make a batter • bake in a quick oven.
Depth' to Set Fruit Trees.—Four inches
below the, surface is fully deep enough to'
set the upper roots of fruit :trees. If you
fill in around growing trees-to the depth of
six inches, they will probably receive a se
vere check, as Ibis :will bring the roots too
far from the surface warmth and Soil.
