VOLUME XI.—NO. 38. - J i.M The Leaf Crop. This very valuable crop is too often CO* tirely overlooked. Multitudes of farmers have yet to gather their first leaf harvest. Gardeners very generally appreciate the value of this article, and where it is accessible, it enters info their moat valuable composts. Most farmers are so situtMi that they can gather leaves in largo quantities and would readily do it, if they knew how well it wonld pay. €hemical analysis shows that the leavarf of plants are rich in fertilizing matter,much richer than the wood. Eleven per cent, of the leaves of the elm are ashes, while the wood only gives two per cent Other tree* show « still greater difference. The eos* stant growth of forests even upon poor land/ is doubtless owing to the annual deposit of leaves upon the surface of the earth. These having drawn fertilizing matter from the subsoil through the roots, deposit it on tho surface where it is available. Every one1 has noticed the rank growth of grass,where leaves have been burned or allowed to decay. They aro valuable to the farmer for, bedding before they go into the compost heajir. Nothing is better for the sty or tbe stable, than a good leaf bed. The time Hf rustling leaves has come in the garden, upon the lawn, in the orchard, and in theD forest. Let them be gathered as the laef of, (tbe harvest.—American Arfricultvriti* A\ "Ringworm.—In Jhe'domestic treatment of ringworm, the first consideration is cleanliness ; soap, water, the small tooth comb and tho brush, are important auxiliaries tor' cqre. In the early stages of the disease/ washing once a week will be sufficient; in the latter stage?, ablution should have for its object tbe removal of the crosts which form over the diseased surfaoe. After washing and drying the head, some simjak. pomatum should be used, sneh as tbe following :—Oil of sweet almonds, twoenneei; pure yellow beeswax, three drachms; melt together in a water bath, and while cooling, stir, and add any agreeable scent. i. MISCBIiLANBOUS. fp»r (lie OwtU.| HOW IT jiAtWDKB®. centre of the Bienville. The last shot burst the gun, which was of Richmond manufacture.The story that the Rebel guns dismounted themselves is incorrect; only one suffered this fate, and this was when it had become so heated as to break the bands. One ball passed through the mainmast of the Wabash. The transports lay three or four miles off, and witnessed the conflict. The sound of cannon is reported to have been heard at CbarteSton, more than fifty tiitlcS dlltant The batteries were thoroughly demolished, but none of the guns were spiked Not a man was to be found in them when the Unionists landed. Captain Drayton, who commanded the Pocahontas, was a brother of the commander of Port Walker. Immediately upon landing, a proclamation was made to all citizens to return to their homes and they would not be molested. When the Bienville left the forts the Great Republic was unloading bones, and the marines were busy working on the trenches. General Sherman haa established his head-quarters imiwi MW. "" The correspondent of the Inquirer, on the. steamer Pocahontas, furnishes the following additional particularsi The batteries of the Wabash having bocome heated, the Pocahontas took her place. She received a shot in her mainmast. A yellow flag was hoisted by the Rebels on the hospital building to protect it. When the conflict ended our Dands played a national air and "Dixio" The majority of the troops landed at night. The next morning the Rebels sent over two flags of truce aud buried thtifr dead- » A Northern Blockade. Under this caption the New York Ecooomist makes some remarks possessing a deep interest at the present time for the loyal people, but particularly the merchantsrof the seaboard: "The great grain depots of the west are just now as effectively blockaded as the cotton pbrts of the south. The embargo is not created by the presence of an armed force j but, strange UD say, by the means ordinarily employed for conveying the products to their market. At all the gnat grain producing centres, there is an enormous accumulation of produce that can find no means of conveyance to the seaboard. The demand from Europe is equal to the absorption of all our surplus grain; but the supply is held back. The demand from France has slackened somewhat, but there is every prospect that it will continue much beyona the average for several months to come. The reports from Great Britain indicate that we have yet to experience a heavy demand from that quarter. The probability is that recent developments discover a larger deficiency in the English crop than was generally anticipated. The potato crop of Ireland is a complete failure, and it will be well if that country does not suffer from a famine almost equal in severity to that which produced such fearful consequences fourteen years ago. Under these circumstances, and with a large demand, too, for our army supplies, wc can anticipate nothing less than a continuance of the heavy drain upon the western granorics that we have lately experienced. "The fact, however, meets us that the needed supplies must be waited for until better facilities for transport are provided. Our canals are glutted, and the whole rolling stock of our railroads is tasked to its utmost to convey grain to the seaboard.— The result of this is unfortunate for the west, and for the whole commercial eommunity dependent upon the rising prosperity of that scction ef the country. The producer is deprived of the advantages in price that always result from an active demand ; and enormous profits arc reoliled by the railroad and shipping interests. An owner of a vessel can make naif the value of his craft by a single trip between Chicago and Buffalo. The rates of freight are so enormous as to constitute fully fivesixths of the entire cost of breadstuff's in New York. Corn is worth about 8c. per bushel on the spot where it is grown in Illinois, and yet to-day it sells in NeW York for G0@65c.; its value being increased eight fold by the cost of transit and handling. If our westorn farmers are to be encouraged in the realization of what seems to be their destiny—to become the groat grain producers for Europe as well as America; we must have the means of transport inureased and cheapened. As matters now stand, the railroads and the shipowners are fattening upon the agriculturists, much to the damage of the general commerce of the country. No investment could pay bettpr than that which would increase the railroad accommodation between this port and the west The matter will, no doubt, sootier or later work its own remedy ; but it behooves those interested to remember that tbey may lose much by delay."No doubt can exist of the truth of this. Wc recognize it in the rapidly accumulating stores of grain in the focal cities of the west, and the canals and railway* vainly strive to relieve the pressure- Not only are increased facilities for transportation becoming necessary, but it is equally essential that wc should losp no time in furnishing them if wc expect that our produce shall feed the hungry millions of Europe, and preserve in our favor that balance of trade which since thc~Ou£hre«k of the w«r has caused such astonishment and such changes in the world's commerce. With abundance of capital lying idle aud operatives seeking employment at low wages, we. ought to avail ourselves of the opportunity to increase the rolling stock of oiur railways, multiply their tracks, complete work* which hitherto have been held ia abeyanee, and enlarge the capacity ef our canals. Of course it is now too late to do any of these things so as to be of use to the present crops, except in the increase of the railway rolling stock, andi that, in o«nr judgment, ought to be done promptly. So vast is the pressure from the west upon the Pennsylvania railroad that the most stringent regulations have been established to prevent any more than a specified quantity of freight being received for shipment ot any point within a given time. Thib is a wonderful state of things when we consider the stagnation of trade; and yet we cannot avoid the conviction that our great iron highway ought to bo furnished with an increased capacity to meet the emergency.— Should this be accomplished the would assume a national character and distance all competition.—North American. Some farmers keep their cattle out a late as possible in the Fall, and even intC Winter, the pastures are gnawed ven close, and even the after-math of the mow tag fields, as if they never expected to gel another crop of grass from them. This it very :bad husbandry upon any land and especially upon that recently seeded with herds-grass. This-.grase, as is well known to all careful observers, has a bulbous Mot, and the fine fibres that shoot out from tho bottom are not as strong aa the roots of most other grasses, It is therefore exceedingly liable to be torn out by the roots by grazing cattle, espeoislly if the grass is short. In a close cropped meadow, where this grass has been sown, nothing is more common than to soe thousands of these dried bulbs lying npon the surfaoe. We doubt Che economy of gracing a hards-grass meadow at any timo. But if done at all, it should not be cropped after the first of November, in this latitude. The roots of all grasses ore designed to be covered with their own leaves and stalks during the Winter. These and the snow protect them from the alternate freezings and thawings, and bring them out in good condition in the Spring. The farmer who undertakes to thWaHthe designs of Nitrite in this respoot, will find it very expensive business, The little that he saves in 'fted now, he loses the next season in the, diminished yie)4 of the pasture or the Meadow. We ought always to manage so as to have Nature working with us, instead of against us. This is one of tho evils of overstocking farnjs. The farmer is afraid that he'has npt quite fodder1 enough for W inter, so he pastures till the ground is frozen. He cuts less hay for it the next season, and ho is still more sorely tempted to pasture late. — It is quite as bad for the eattlo as it is for the land.' If they have no fodder in the month of November, they Wee rather than gain upon pasture, unless it is muqh better than jthe average. Every animal ought to go into the stable in a thriving condition—if not fat, at least in full flesh. They arc then easily kept thriving upon good hay, or upon hay or roots, straw and meal. After several years' close observation directed to this particular point wo do not think anything 1b gained by pasturing in this latitude, and north of it, after the first of this month. All the grasses must 'have time to.cover their roots in order to make flush feed next season. Cattle fodto the stable about the first of November, in good flesh, are easily wintered. It is better management to buy hay or sell stock, than to pinch the pastures by close feeding. —American Agriculturist.

FHANK BRANDKNBUBU Further Particulars of the Victory i by our Fleet. Iptcial fiitpnteh to the Philadelphia Inquirer. New York, Nov. 18,1801. * Sailing Masted Frank Smith, of the Bi-7iville, siid for a long time commandcr of Piatt's Philadelphia vessels, has furnished ne with an interesting statement. The mrticulars of the expedition, up to the time' if the great storm, are already known. On he night of November third the transport iVinfield Scott, with the Fiftieth l'enosyl,'ania Regiment. Col. Christ, on board, was 'ound to be in a sinking condition and exhibited signals of distress. The soldiers threw their arms, tents and provisions overboard, ahd the vessel rart alongside of tho Bienville. The sea was, rough, and while some of the men attempted to jump on board the Bienville they fell between, and were crushed. Thirty or forty made the attempt in safety. The vessels tvero then separated, and it was feared that the Soott would run ashore. She weathered the storm, however. The Bienville was the first to reach Port Royal, and then made a trip to Sav.nnah in search of the Subine, which she did not find. She spent Sunday night off Savannah. On Monday afternoon, ill the Dffieers of the fleet went on the flaghip for instructions, and on Tuesday an ittempt was made to go up Port Royal enranee. This was frustrated by the Wabash winning aground about four miles from Hilon Head. On Thursday at 9 o'clock, the ijrnal gtw was fired for vessels to form in ii der of battle, and at 10 a. m , the flag1-' hip got directly between the two batteries, ,nd opened to the right: The channci was inly about 2500 yards wide, and the shot nade fearful havoe, throwing up sand and' lestroying the batteries. Broadside saciccded broadside, lind in five mihutes the iCtion became general. Ten vessels were n the main Column. The Bienville swept nist two batteries at a very short distance, eceiving and replying to their fire. The run-boats wentout of liws ori their awn ao-; :ount after the first round, and took such insition as they pleased. The1 Wabash; -upqnchanna and Hienville made threecir:uits in front df-the batteries. After each :ircu?t the Rebels thought they were re,resting; When they came around for the ,hird time the tneti in the forts were dissouraged. On that trip the Bienville feot io near to Fort BeaUregafrd'that she reCfeivid a tremendous broadside. One shot went intirely through, fearing up a hammock hat had wen occupied fire minutes before. Another ball killed two men. Another cut he davits of the long boat and drimaged he rigging, To use the expression of an ibscrver, the Rebels fought like devils.— Their shot were generally thrown too high, lowcver. The guns of the fleet tore up «nd for two miles around the forts', and the loud of dust and smoke wag so dense that t Was impossible to distinguish objects a ew hundred yards distant. The Rebels aughed at the gun-boats which *ete first jent out to reconnoitre, but looked with terror at the " big ships with checkered sides" as a contraband oalled them.

Youno Ladies.—Did you ever think what ft contrast (hare is between the young lady of to-day and the one of fifty, or even a score of years ago 1 Then a lady was one who coiild tuke care of herself—could sing in plain, musical English, wash, bake and cook all kinds of food, milk a cow, if necessary, and make herself useful gcnorally. If she did n:f, she wj»s called lazy—that was all there was about it. But now we have no lazy women—thoy are all delicate. The modem yauug lady is a strauge compoiwd of dress and nerves—by which we mean those "exquisite susceptibilities'' which uaii.se her to shudder when phe sees a wash-tub and scream at the sight of a cow. She is a living image uiade to be waited upon. She sings "divinely," and plays the piano "exquisitely," but neither one of these affects you as much as the jabbering of a.North American Indian, for it is,not half so intelligible. She lounges about iu the morning, crothets or embroiders a little, then drtsses herself up, and promenades for the benefit of some "genteel exquisite." Thus pass her days. Now you aicdu't ta\l me that old bachelors are forever harping op women's faults—that we do not fiiud any such Indies—that they are the saipe bow as they always wpre. It is no such thing. It is an uncommon thing to find a lady now-u-days that half pays for the food she eats. She is nothing but a bill of expense to her father, and a larger one to her husband, for he not only has her to support, but one or two hired girls to wait upon her also. My advice to every young man is to beware of a fashionable young lady. Never marry the girl who k(Is in thft parlor whiic her mother ttamh in the kitchcn. It won't pay.

How the Spinning Jemny Received its Name.—The following anecdote is related of Hargreaves, the inventor of the Spinning Jenny: "The invention bad long engaged bfs attention, when one day he was observed to drop suddenly upon his knees and roll on the stone floor at full length. He lay with his face toward the floor, and made lines and eirelee with burnt stick. Then he Sat upon a chair and placed bis head between his hands, his elbows upon his knees, and gased intently on the floor; then he sprang to bis feet and replied to some feeble questions of his wife—who had not risen siqce the day she gave birth to a little stranger —by a loud assurance that he had it; and taking Her in his sturdy arms in die blankets, the bahy in her arms, h§ lifted liM out and held her over the black drawings.--, Thesa he explained, and she joined* small, hopeful laugh, with' his high-toned assurance that she should never again "play" and huvc his loom standing far Want of weft.

VOLUME XI.—NO. 38. - J i.M The Leaf Crop. This very valuable crop is too often CO* tirely overlooked. Multitudes of farmers have yet to gather their first leaf harvest. Gardeners very generally appreciate the value of this article, and where it is accessible, it enters info their moat valuable composts. Most farmers are so situtMi that they can gather leaves in largo quantities and would readily do it, if they knew how well it wonld pay. €hemical analysis shows that the leavarf of plants are rich in fertilizing matter,much richer than the wood. Eleven per cent, of the leaves of the elm are ashes, while the wood only gives two per cent Other tree* show « still greater difference. The eos* stant growth of forests even upon poor land/ is doubtless owing to the annual deposit of leaves upon the surface of the earth. These having drawn fertilizing matter from the subsoil through the roots, deposit it on tho surface where it is available. Every one1 has noticed the rank growth of grass,where leaves have been burned or allowed to decay. They aro valuable to the farmer for, bedding before they go into the compost heajir. Nothing is better for the sty or tbe stable, than a good leaf bed. The time Hf rustling leaves has come in the garden, upon the lawn, in the orchard, and in theD forest. Let them be gathered as the laef of, (tbe harvest.—American Arfricultvriti* A\ "Ringworm.—In Jhe'domestic treatment of ringworm, the first consideration is cleanliness ; soap, water, the small tooth comb and tho brush, are important auxiliaries tor' cqre. In the early stages of the disease/ washing once a week will be sufficient; in the latter stage?, ablution should have for its object tbe removal of the crosts which form over the diseased surfaoe. After washing and drying the head, some simjak. pomatum should be used, sneh as tbe following :—Oil of sweet almonds, twoenneei; pure yellow beeswax, three drachms; melt together in a water bath, and while cooling, stir, and add any agreeable scent. i. MISCBIiLANBOUS. fp»r (lie OwtU.| HOW IT jiAtWDKB®. centre of the Bienville. The last shot burst the gun, which was of Richmond manufacture.The story that the Rebel guns dismounted themselves is incorrect; only one suffered this fate, and this was when it had become so heated as to break the bands. One ball passed through the mainmast of the Wabash. The transports lay three or four miles off, and witnessed the conflict. The sound of cannon is reported to have been heard at CbarteSton, more than fifty tiitlcS dlltant The batteries were thoroughly demolished, but none of the guns were spiked Not a man was to be found in them when the Unionists landed. Captain Drayton, who commanded the Pocahontas, was a brother of the commander of Port Walker. Immediately upon landing, a proclamation was made to all citizens to return to their homes and they would not be molested. When the Bienville left the forts the Great Republic was unloading bones, and the marines were busy working on the trenches. General Sherman haa established his head-quarters imiwi MW. "" The correspondent of the Inquirer, on the. steamer Pocahontas, furnishes the following additional particularsi The batteries of the Wabash having bocome heated, the Pocahontas took her place. She received a shot in her mainmast. A yellow flag was hoisted by the Rebels on the hospital building to protect it. When the conflict ended our Dands played a national air and "Dixio" The majority of the troops landed at night. The next morning the Rebels sent over two flags of truce aud buried thtifr dead- » A Northern Blockade. Under this caption the New York Ecooomist makes some remarks possessing a deep interest at the present time for the loyal people, but particularly the merchantsrof the seaboard: "The great grain depots of the west are just now as effectively blockaded as the cotton pbrts of the south. The embargo is not created by the presence of an armed force j but, strange UD say, by the means ordinarily employed for conveying the products to their market. At all the gnat grain producing centres, there is an enormous accumulation of produce that can find no means of conveyance to the seaboard. The demand from Europe is equal to the absorption of all our surplus grain; but the supply is held back. The demand from France has slackened somewhat, but there is every prospect that it will continue much beyona the average for several months to come. The reports from Great Britain indicate that we have yet to experience a heavy demand from that quarter. The probability is that recent developments discover a larger deficiency in the English crop than was generally anticipated. The potato crop of Ireland is a complete failure, and it will be well if that country does not suffer from a famine almost equal in severity to that which produced such fearful consequences fourteen years ago. Under these circumstances, and with a large demand, too, for our army supplies, wc can anticipate nothing less than a continuance of the heavy drain upon the western granorics that we have lately experienced. "The fact, however, meets us that the needed supplies must be waited for until better facilities for transport are provided. Our canals are glutted, and the whole rolling stock of our railroads is tasked to its utmost to convey grain to the seaboard.— The result of this is unfortunate for the west, and for the whole commercial eommunity dependent upon the rising prosperity of that scction ef the country. The producer is deprived of the advantages in price that always result from an active demand ; and enormous profits arc reoliled by the railroad and shipping interests. An owner of a vessel can make naif the value of his craft by a single trip between Chicago and Buffalo. The rates of freight are so enormous as to constitute fully fivesixths of the entire cost of breadstuff's in New York. Corn is worth about 8c. per bushel on the spot where it is grown in Illinois, and yet to-day it sells in NeW York for G0@65c.; its value being increased eight fold by the cost of transit and handling. If our westorn farmers are to be encouraged in the realization of what seems to be their destiny—to become the groat grain producers for Europe as well as America; we must have the means of transport inureased and cheapened. As matters now stand, the railroads and the shipowners are fattening upon the agriculturists, much to the damage of the general commerce of the country. No investment could pay bettpr than that which would increase the railroad accommodation between this port and the west The matter will, no doubt, sootier or later work its own remedy ; but it behooves those interested to remember that tbey may lose much by delay."No doubt can exist of the truth of this. Wc recognize it in the rapidly accumulating stores of grain in the focal cities of the west, and the canals and railway* vainly strive to relieve the pressure- Not only are increased facilities for transportation becoming necessary, but it is equally essential that wc should losp no time in furnishing them if wc expect that our produce shall feed the hungry millions of Europe, and preserve in our favor that balance of trade which since thc~Ou£hre«k of the w«r has caused such astonishment and such changes in the world's commerce. With abundance of capital lying idle aud operatives seeking employment at low wages, we. ought to avail ourselves of the opportunity to increase the rolling stock of oiur railways, multiply their tracks, complete work* which hitherto have been held ia abeyanee, and enlarge the capacity ef our canals. Of course it is now too late to do any of these things so as to be of use to the present crops, except in the increase of the railway rolling stock, andi that, in o«nr judgment, ought to be done promptly. So vast is the pressure from the west upon the Pennsylvania railroad that the most stringent regulations have been established to prevent any more than a specified quantity of freight being received for shipment ot any point within a given time. Thib is a wonderful state of things when we consider the stagnation of trade; and yet we cannot avoid the conviction that our great iron highway ought to bo furnished with an increased capacity to meet the emergency.— Should this be accomplished the would assume a national character and distance all competition.—North American. Some farmers keep their cattle out a late as possible in the Fall, and even intC Winter, the pastures are gnawed ven close, and even the after-math of the mow tag fields, as if they never expected to gel another crop of grass from them. This it very :bad husbandry upon any land and especially upon that recently seeded with herds-grass. This-.grase, as is well known to all careful observers, has a bulbous Mot, and the fine fibres that shoot out from tho bottom are not as strong aa the roots of most other grasses, It is therefore exceedingly liable to be torn out by the roots by grazing cattle, espeoislly if the grass is short. In a close cropped meadow, where this grass has been sown, nothing is more common than to soe thousands of these dried bulbs lying npon the surfaoe. We doubt Che economy of gracing a hards-grass meadow at any timo. But if done at all, it should not be cropped after the first of November, in this latitude. The roots of all grasses ore designed to be covered with their own leaves and stalks during the Winter. These and the snow protect them from the alternate freezings and thawings, and bring them out in good condition in the Spring. The farmer who undertakes to thWaHthe designs of Nitrite in this respoot, will find it very expensive business, The little that he saves in 'fted now, he loses the next season in the, diminished yie)4 of the pasture or the Meadow. We ought always to manage so as to have Nature working with us, instead of against us. This is one of tho evils of overstocking farnjs. The farmer is afraid that he'has npt quite fodder1 enough for W inter, so he pastures till the ground is frozen. He cuts less hay for it the next season, and ho is still more sorely tempted to pasture late. — It is quite as bad for the eattlo as it is for the land.' If they have no fodder in the month of November, they Wee rather than gain upon pasture, unless it is muqh better than jthe average. Every animal ought to go into the stable in a thriving condition—if not fat, at least in full flesh. They arc then easily kept thriving upon good hay, or upon hay or roots, straw and meal. After several years' close observation directed to this particular point wo do not think anything 1b gained by pasturing in this latitude, and north of it, after the first of this month. All the grasses must 'have time to.cover their roots in order to make flush feed next season. Cattle fodto the stable about the first of November, in good flesh, are easily wintered. It is better management to buy hay or sell stock, than to pinch the pastures by close feeding. —American Agriculturist.

The mrticulars of the expedition, up to the time' if the great storm, are already known. On he night of November third the transport iVinfield Scott, with the Fiftieth l'enosyl,'ania Regiment. Col. Christ, on board, was 'ound to be in a sinking condition and exhibited signals of distress. The soldiers threw their arms, tents and provisions overboard, ahd the vessel rart alongside of tho Bienville. The sea was, rough, and while some of the men attempted to jump on board the Bienville they fell between, and were crushed. Thirty or forty made the attempt in safety. The vessels tvero then separated, and it was feared that the Soott would run ashore. She weathered the storm, however. The Bienville was the first to reach Port Royal, and then made a trip to Sav.nnah in search of the Subine, which she did not find. She spent Sunday night off Savannah. On Monday afternoon, ill the Dffieers of the fleet went on the flaghip for instructions, and on Tuesday an ittempt was made to go up Port Royal enranee. This was frustrated by the Wabash winning aground about four miles from Hilon Head. On Thursday at 9 o'clock, the ijrnal gtw was fired for vessels to form in ii der of battle, and at 10 a. m , the flag1-' hip got directly between the two batteries, ,nd opened to the right: The channci was inly about 2500 yards wide, and the shot nade fearful havoe, throwing up sand and' lestroying the batteries. Broadside saciccded broadside, lind in five mihutes the iCtion became general. Ten vessels were n the main Column. The Bienville swept nist two batteries at a very short distance, eceiving and replying to their fire. The run-boats wentout of liws ori their awn ao-; :ount after the first round, and took such insition as they pleased. The1 Wabash; -upqnchanna and Hienville made threecir:uits in front df-the batteries. After each :ircu?t the Rebels thought they were re,resting; When they came around for the ,hird time the tneti in the forts were dissouraged. On that trip the Bienville feot io near to Fort BeaUregafrd'that she reCfeivid a tremendous broadside. One shot went intirely through, fearing up a hammock hat had wen occupied fire minutes before. Another ball killed two men. Another cut he davits of the long boat and drimaged he rigging, To use the expression of an ibscrver, the Rebels fought like devils.— Their shot were generally thrown too high, lowcver. The guns of the fleet tore up «nd for two miles around the forts', and the loud of dust and smoke wag so dense that t Was impossible to distinguish objects a ew hundred yards distant. The Rebels aughed at the gun-boats which *ete first jent out to reconnoitre, but looked with terror at the " big ships with checkered sides" as a contraband oalled them.

Youno Ladies.—Did you ever think what ft contrast (hare is between the young lady of to-day and the one of fifty, or even a score of years ago 1 Then a lady was one who coiild tuke care of herself—could sing in plain, musical English, wash, bake and cook all kinds of food, milk a cow, if necessary, and make herself useful gcnorally. If she did n:f, she wj»s called lazy—that was all there was about it. But now we have no lazy women—thoy are all delicate. The modem yauug lady is a strauge compoiwd of dress and nerves—by which we mean those "exquisite susceptibilities'' which uaii.se her to shudder when phe sees a wash-tub and scream at the sight of a cow. She is a living image uiade to be waited upon. She sings "divinely," and plays the piano "exquisitely," but neither one of these affects you as much as the jabbering of a.North American Indian, for it is,not half so intelligible. She lounges about iu the morning, crothets or embroiders a little, then drtsses herself up, and promenades for the benefit of some "genteel exquisite." Thus pass her days. Now you aicdu't ta\l me that old bachelors are forever harping op women's faults—that we do not fiiud any such Indies—that they are the saipe bow as they always wpre. It is no such thing. It is an uncommon thing to find a lady now-u-days that half pays for the food she eats. She is nothing but a bill of expense to her father, and a larger one to her husband, for he not only has her to support, but one or two hired girls to wait upon her also. My advice to every young man is to beware of a fashionable young lady. Never marry the girl who k(Is in thft parlor whiic her mother ttamh in the kitchcn. It won't pay. The Wub of the People duly Considered I WAsniNO Calicoes.—Calico clothes before they are put in water, should have the greaso spots rubbed out, as they cannot be seen when the whole of the garment is wet. They should never be washed in very hot soap suds; that which is mildly warm, will cleanse them quite as well; and will not extract the colors so much. rpHE undersigned havinxJuet re turn ml from the head | of market with one of tlin most .-utensive stocks of meruhandise ever offered to the people of Luxerne "olmty would respectftilly announce Iti a few words, to hia friends and the public in moral, that lilspunluues have lDoen made with a view to the wants of the people, tile Miner and laborer as well as the clean handed uentleman, or lair lady.

How the Spinning Jemny Received its Name.—The following anecdote is related of Hargreaves, the inventor of the Spinning Jenny: "The invention bad long engaged bfs attention, when one day he was observed to drop suddenly upon his knees and roll on the stone floor at full length. He lay with his face toward the floor, and made lines and eirelee with burnt stick. Then he Sat upon a chair and placed bis head between his hands, his elbows upon his knees, and gased intently on the floor; then he sprang to bis feet and replied to some feeble questions of his wife—who had not risen siqce the day she gave birth to a little stranger —by a loud assurance that he had it; and taking Her in his sturdy arms in die blankets, the bahy in her arms, h§ lifted liM out and held her over the black drawings.--, Thesa he explained, and she joined* small, hopeful laugh, with' his high-toned assurance that she should never again "play" and huvc his loom standing far Want of weft.

"Our fbrtunc is made/' he s«id, speaking of. his drawings on the floor. "What will you call it?" asked his wife. "Call it ? What can wCj call it after thyself, Jenny ?
