For taMng the first pl«ce at all— I never waa Iniowa to be very brave.
Which eomes from my being go small; Tet, If in great acts I prove rather alack,
I'm a right good friend to the poor, Hor if in their cots my UtUe they lack,
Starraffon perchance (hey endure.
My Mx»ml is shown In the bursting bud.
And flushes the fragile flower; I cover tbe flelds with a gory flood
When the eloudt of batUe lower; Sometimes through air, on the wings of the bird,
I soar'neath tbe rays of tbe snn. And the voices of praise are freqnent heard
When my beanty Is talked npoo.
Dyspeptics, my fAtrd wonld flnd a good thing,
EspwlaUy alter dinner. And pleasant thoughts to my mem'ry cling.
In tbe mind of saint aad sioner; On the boondlng wave wben th « tempoRL* rage.
And huixicauea wildly blow, I ride ont tbe gale, In my ocoau cage.
By the billows rock*d to and fro.

If any calm, » calm despair.
Calm ou the ^eas. aud silver sleep And waves that sway themselves In rest. And dead calm lu that noble breast.

It was evening—a beautiful antumn eve¬ ning.    Tha red leaves jet danced, rejoicing in the mild air; tbe yellow sunshine yet gilded tho hill tops, and the aoft shadow of twilight were creeping silently up the valley as the gentle widow Leedom, with her child in her arms, wended her way homeward.— She was tired, for she bad toiled all  day in fanner Wood's kitchen, and thongh it was Salnrday evening, she had not been paid for her labor.   The fcind-hearted housemaid  at Farmer Wood's had urged her to wait  for her snpper, bnt she could not stay.    She had no eye for the glory of that Ootober sunset, aa sbe walked wearily on, her tired arms scaroelj able to hold the little joyous crea¬ ture lhat laughed and crowed, and ever and anon peered into her bonnet, lisping his sweet- toned "mamma, mamma."   Slie thought only of her expectant little ones, and  the means of obtaining bread for them to last over Sun¬ day.   As she neared the village, she seemed irresolute whether to enter it or pass on ; bat a vision of her lonely, fasting children,roBe up before herin imagination, and ahe stopped, her lips moved a minute or two as if in prayer, and then qnickeng her step, and harrying on like one who has nerved himself to a sudden reaolation, she tumed into the main  street; and was soon atanding before the counter of the baker's shop.   The baker was an austere maQj but it was not in homan natare to re¬ sist the widow'a pleading tone and touching expression, as ahe falteringly asked him to truBt her for a loaf of bread for a day or two. The man handed her the loaf relnotantlj, and was about to insist on prompt   payment, when a glance at the widow'a flashed face and embarrassed manner, deterred him.   With scarcely audible thanks she concealed the loaf under her tattered shawl, and drawing her babe closer to her bosom, hastened home. " Mother's come I mother'a come" cried a couple of young, eager voices, as she entered the gate, and her seven year-old Eobert and his little sister came running to meet her. They were pretty children.   The little Mary inherited her mother^s mild blue eyes and delicate complexion, and the boy his father's handsome face and honest brown eyes.  Poor ohildren, they were accustomed to being left alone, for the widow went ont to work daily, and the night was always   welcome that brought their mother's loved return.   They had a thousand things to askand tell, which fell unheeded this time on the ear of the sad mother, though she instinctively answered them yea and no, as occasion req^uired.    She gave the loaf to Robert, and taking little Ma¬ ry's hand, they entered the hoase together. The table was already set out by the expec¬ tant housekeepers, hnt there was nothing on it that could be construed into anything eat¬ able »ave a cup of molasses and some salt. The mother cut a slice of bread for each of the half famished children, and sat quietly by, nursing the youngest while they ate it, for she had no heart to eat herself.   She was Tery sorrowful as she looked at these little dependent beings, and thought ofher failing strength, and shadinghereyes with her hand the tears stole silently down her pale, patient face, and fell among the brighi curls of the little unconscious head pillowed so peaceful¬ ly on. her bosom.   She had been  sorely af- fiioted.   The husband of her youth had been stricken down by a falling beam  while at¬ tempting to save a sick child that had been overlooked in the hurry and panic, from  a burning building.   The child was saved, but he who perilled his life for it, the  atrong, brave-hearted man had perished.    The frnit of thifl union, her eldest born, her pride of heart, the noble boy whose every movement and expression had been so many similes of hia buried father, was a wanderer she knew not whither.
"Years after the boy had left her, when Bobert Leedom came often to see her in her loneliness, and ventured to tell Ler at length how he had loved her from tho time they had played together at school, and how he had remained single for her sake, and came * baok to the same old port that he might ¦ breathe again the same air that she breathed, 1 and bPBonght her to  let him sustain and shield her, to comfort her in sickness and sor¬ row, she gladdened the honest sailor's faithful hearl, by consenting to become his wife.   No wonder the young sailor loved her, she was 80 neat in her habits, so gentle and so indus¬ trions ; and her calm, sweet face and holy eyes shone ever with "the beauty that dwelt in her sonl."   She had leamed to love her second husband, and had bome him three fair ohildren, when the sad news came, that the gallent vessel in which he had sailed was wrecked on the dangerous coast near Abseoomb, and in his generoas efforts to save others, Hobert Leedom was lost.   She had been a widow the aecond   time   only aix months, and now, as the thought of her utter inability to aupport her fatherless chUdren, even in the summer time, and saw no other prospect before her whichever way she look¬ ed, and knew that the cold, dreary winter waa coming gradually on, her heart failed her utterly, and she could only weep.   The won¬ dering little ones tried by every endearing art they could think of, to attract her atten¬ tion but in Tain. Impressed by their mother's mounfulmood, they ate then- bread abnost in silence; and when they had finiahed, ahe arose mechanically, and laying her babe in its cradle, put them to bed.   She heard them their prayers, and bade them good night, and God bless them, carefully, and tenderlyas usual, bat with that subdued, spiritless tone Oxat om^nates from a heart without hope. Bh« oontinued kneeling at their bedside long after she had prayed wilh them, and wept.
BUt«rij ahe wept, bat there was no pitying •ye to ae* now, no tender hand to caress, no loTlag Toloe to aobth, as the ory from her over-
burtened, despairing heart, "My God, my my God, why hast thou forsaken meT" went up over the unconscious heads, of the sleep- era in that hoor of agony. Np pitying eye did I say ? The eye that never slumbeia nor sleeps was there, the loving kindness that bas said I will be a'Fatherto thefartherleBS," was about her even then, though she knew it not. In the power of the spirit oame the blessed aasurauee, in answer to herdesparing ory, " I will never leaye thee nor forsake thee and her soul grew oalm, all her old trasting faith retamed, and she arose from her knees tranqailly, feeling that " the Lord is a veiy plesanl help in the lime of trouble." She took down the little worn Bible from the mantel, and as ahe read on through the clos¬ ing chapter of St. John, an expression of peace Ineffable, " that peace that passeth un¬ derstanding," aettled aerenly on her sweet face. Putting the Bible reverently back, sho took some mending from her baaket.and soon the clear lone of a hymn so.unded throngh the alillneaa of the little cottage; and "How firm a foundation," ato., when pealed from lordly organ, and echoed throngh vaulted dome, never assended more acceptably to Him who sittethon the great white throne.
But other eyes besides the All-seeing had been looking in throngh the lew casement at the lonely sufferer.and now the sweet tones of the holy hymn were interrapted by a knock at the door. The widow opened it, and saw before her a weary, travel-stained man, who aaked only for a crust of bread and a cup of water. The widow glanced at the leaf which still lay on the table, and tben at the sleeping children, and hesi¬ tated, but only for a moment; there was sometbing in the tone of the stranger's voice that came gratefully lo her soul aa a breath of spring over violets, and she thought ofher own beloved boy asking for charity in some distant land aud she hastened to plaoe a chair and reach him the loaf, trusting to Him ' who canseth it to rain on the earth where no man is, lo satisfy the desolate and waste ground,' for her orphans.
" My mother I my own precious motherl" cried the familiar voice, in broken tones and springing forward, she was caught and strained to the beating heart of her long- lost son. "My aon, my son" ahe oonld only rourmer, while he exclaimed ; "I am rich, my mother, I have plenty for us all; I have beeu to CalifDrnia, and have come back rich, beyond all I ever hoped for or dreamed of—my poor famished mother! I am jQst in timo'-thank Qod ! thank God ! " and mother and son knelt together in one glad earnest prayer of thanksgiving.
Reputation is not  Character.
"Strive to be worthy,," said an old clergy¬ man to a young man; "it is better lo have cbaracter than reputation." Rarely are great truths 30 pithily pnt. If reputation was less frequently confounded with oharacter the aims of the young would be nobler, men more virtuous, society altogether better.— For reputation is often false, which character can never be. The one Is but a sham, the other a living fact. Reputation is what men think of us; character is what we really are. Yet too many prefer the shadow to the substance. To enjoy the good report of men, even when undeserved, Is sufficient to satisfy the majority. Hence, instead of striving to be really worthy, thousands intrigue only lo appear so. They shine in tinsel when they ought to wear real gold. They try every art lo be thought rich, or fashionable, or culti¬ vated,. neglecting, very often, the means which might makes them what they wish.— They wear oat their lives in pursuit of a de¬ lusion. They practice keeping up appear¬ ances till they confound the sham with the reality, the shadow with the substance, for¬ getting lhat the world aoon pierces throngh their mask, discovers what they are, and despises them for false coin.
Take the caae of a young lawyer, who, in¬ stead of mastering his profession, trusts to a fatal facUity of words, and thinks to soar to eminence and fortune without assiduity or other real merit. He gets, perhaps, a sort of reputation by practicing in pettifogging cases, bnt he never rises "^bove this ; and at the end of twenty years he is no further on the road to fame than he was at first. Take the mere trading politician, who, inatead of seek¬ ing lo establish a name for statesmanship ; prefers what he thinks the easier paths of canning and corruption, and who, though he may aecare some petty office, never be¬ comes tmly great; though he may juggle himself into a fieeting reputation, never leavea behind the fame of a Webster or a Clay. Take the plansible, bnt incompetent merchant, who, though he may for a while obtain credit, finally collapses, recording to all the world what a bubble he has been.— We might go through life in the same way ; we might select examples from every class and profession, and the result wonld always be the same. Sooner or later the charlatan is found out, be his stage-tricks what they may. Reputation cannot atand, in the long run, against character.
Honesty is the best policy even in regard to one's good name. To be, not to aeem, Is wiser, even for the *'children of this world," thanlo seem andnot to be. If a man has really no elevated aims, If he cares not to be worthy for the sake of virtue itaelf, il will yet pay him better, permanently, to be true and good than merely to put on the semblance of it. Huntington the forger, appeared, for a while, to thrive on evil. Dlahonesty, in his case, was ostenalbly lucrative. Bnt where Is he now ? Where are all the forgers, emblezzlers and other false diamonds of the financial world ? The honest, who have plodded along, and who are spending their old age in comfort and honor, even when not In luxury, have no cause to complain that scoundrels have pros¬ pered more than themselves.
But the lure of mere worldly success is but a base motive at best. True manhood seeks nobleness for its own sake ; aspires to be, not to seem; is prouder of character, even when unappreciated, than of reputation, If unde¬ served. In proportion as men are real coin and not counterfeits, they scom to enjoy credit for what they have not. "Paint me," said Cromwell," wrinkles and all." Even on canvass the great hero despised falsehood.
Can a Child Live withont Clothing r
The foUowing aooount of an extraordlnaty experiment recently made by a parent with his infant child, fbr the ptirpoae ot asoertain- ing whether he can dispense with clothing is taken from the Bablin Bvening Mail:
^6 sabject of the costume of the ancient Britons has often been discussed; it has been assertsd that they wera naked. Those who opposed that view adduced as reasons the coldness and variable natnre of the oil- mate. The question has been set at real by an •xperiment whioh haa recently been made on a child at St. Anne's Blarney, near Cork. The child is fourteen months old, and Ls the child of Mr.— who detennined to ascertain what the human frame would bear. The child is perfectly naked, night and day ; he sleeps without any covering in a room with the thermometer at 38 degrees; from this he goes into a bath at 118 degrees ; he some¬ times goes to sleep In the bath; he is per¬ fectly indifferent to heat or cold; ia lively, active, cheerful, and intelligent; his appear¬ anoe constantly reminds tbe observer of the best efforta of our beat painters and sculp¬ tors. Therein Is the beau ideal; he is the reality. His simple, natnral, easy, gracefal, and ever-varying postures, are charming. He arrests the attention and commands ihe admiration of all who see him. The peoaliar character of hia skin is very striking; it is exquisitely healthy and beautiful. It may be compared to the rays of the sun streaming Ihrough a painted window.
Daring the progress of the experiment he has cut three leeth without manifesting any of lha disagreeable symptoma usual to chil¬ dren in that condition. He appears lo be quite sensible to pain. Occasionally he has an ugly fall, but not a sound escapes from hia lips. His manners, demeanor, and geu eral behaviour are equally striking. Hia mode of saluting a person is to take the hand in a graceful manner aud kisa it. He is under the complete control of his father, and is perfectly quiet dnring meala, and al¬ so when he is told to be so. He goes about all day, amuaing and occupying himself in a qniet way. No oue accustomed to children would know there was a ohild in the house. So incredible are these results that aome of the residents at St. Anne's regard the whole matter with mingled feelings of horror, amaze¬ ment and wonder. Those who have made a carefal observation for themselves and prefer the evidence of their eyes rather than their ears, see nothing bnt to admire and rdSpect. No donbt some of them would even go so far as to repeal the experiment on their own children, were it not for the fear of that eter¬ nal question' " What will ilrs. Grundy aay ?"
We have received from a correspondent an extract from the journal kept by the father ofthe ohild:
" Deo. 27,lS5(j.—I was about to begin with self-reproaches for pot having noted during its progress the steps of an experiment so novel, and in its consequences so important; but the fact is that I was not aware that I was making an experiment until the thing was done. Henceforward I shall record daily Ineldents whioh may serve to illustrate the case, and at an after period methodically treat it.
" This day the out-door laborers were en¬ gaged in storing ice for the ice-house. The child seeps on the fioor, on a traveling rug folded in four, the room without fire or oar- pet, and is generally washed daily. There ia a large bow window to the north. It ia the coldest room in the house. He waa put to bed at half-past ten. He is withoat any clothes or covering whatever. Atone o'clock being unable to sleep, I was so cold with three blankets that I had to pnt on a fur cloak. The child waked up and made vehe¬ ment appeals to be taken in. I took him in. Wheu I was going to sleep myself, I told him to go to bed. He moaned so bitterly lhat I apprehended that he feared the cold. To teat him I got out of the bed and lay down on his rug, (without clothes:) he then would not remaiu a moment In the warm bed, but followed me to his pallet. He compoaod him¬ aelf to sleep, lying like a frog, and I left him. Wheu he came into bed, I was obliged to put a blanket between ua for the bitter cold of hia limbs; but every way that I could ar¬ range the clothes led to no sign that be suf¬ fered from the cold or desired the heat.

SHBEP-A-WATHA.
Never jumps, a sheep that's frightened Over any fence whatever. Over waU, orfanca, or timber, But a aecond ibllowa after. And a third upon a aeoond. ajid a fourth, and flfth, and ao on. *if?:5 ¦^••P« «»4 thtn a doiea, ^UiByallinqaiek sMONtloii, one by oa« bavo got clear over.
"To correct the frightful fits of crying he uaed lo have and for another failing which had of necessity lo be put a stop to, I had to have recourse formerly to punishment by shaking him, slapping him, and dipping him in a trongh of cold water. Aa his frame hardened under the action of oold aud very severe shampooing, puuiahment by these processes became impossible.
" He has two meals—generally boiled rice, which ia put on a napkin on the ground, and he picks it up to the last grain. After that, wheaten flour cake, with butter, and a cup of milk, which he drinks. While eating his rice he looks a different being, there* Is at once a pride and eujoymenl of perforniance. He has the air of an orator addreaaing an audience.
"During the day he goes to aleep when he likes, merely lying down on the floor.
"It was remarked by a lady lo-day, thathe is nol like a ohild, but a amall man. A gen¬ tleman has just remarked that he never kuew the meaning of 'man-child' nntil he had seen him.
" The attitude he assumes in sleeping Is that of the Mussulman making prostrations —on his knees, with his hands spread out before him, which could not be if he suffered from fatigue; but his muscles are too hard for that. By this means he concentrates the caloric in the siomach, and so It Is indifferent to cold; however oold the limbs (and they gel frightfnlly cold to the touch, and never numb, being on the contrary, mottled red,) the loins are always warm.
" Thia is the first working day since he haa been In my hands that he has not been In the vapor bath. It is the flrst word he has learaed to aay, and he calls for it every morn¬ ing. Yesterday he was in an hour and a half. He moans a little when the oold water is put on him, bnt stops when told to do ao. Hot water he will bear at a temperature that I could not endnre.
" The problem he presents phyaiologioally is this ;—-A development of the nervea pro¬ ducing pleasurable aensatlona and a corres¬ ponding deadening of thoae the contrary.— The intenaity of the enjoyment which he derives from contact with the akin is only equalled by the insensibility of the fleah.— We have never known him ainoe his expo¬ sure lo extreme cold to cry from pain. Laat night the difference between hia power of enjoyment and mine waa brought home to me in a remarkable manner, by my suffering from the atate of the surronndlng atmosphere when he knew none, enlarging to an equal degree the pleasurea derivable from atmos¬ pheric temperature. And this ia only the commencement of the process. When he Is Iwo years old he will be able to enjoy life, as dependent uponthe surronndlng atmosphere, in the opposite extremes of zone, where life is supportable under ordinary circumstances only by means of clothing. The neceasity of clothing after a certain age will not inter¬ fere with the process, aa during the night, when the temperature ia lowest and no caloric is evolved by action, the body can be expo¬ sed. If he were exposed to cold only, he might then suffer from heat, but he is equally armed against both.
"The experiment, in regard to temperature, includes lhat other experiment which haa hitherto been the extreme point contemplated by innovators—the free admission of oxygen. It is not merely the affording scope to the akin to take life from the au-, bat the harden¬ ing of the muaclea to inoreaae life,   Ferhaps,
after all, the Bear'tarkert were no myth.	
Ferhaps the energy of the Bomans may be
traced to tht olothing or want of It of the ohildren, reoorded in the ceremony of the induction of the virile garb. In the tomba of their masters, the Ednsoans, as in those of Asia Minor, children are repreaented abso¬ lutely naked until twelve years. We refer tbe cbaracter of nations to olimate, and for¬ get olotbing, by whioh we can get every cli¬ mate. This ohild may be killed by a brick¬ bat, but he has np more to fear from disease than a calf or a foal; for this la life accor¬ ding to nature, using the elementa for health and strength which when misused, are thoae of destmction ; and yet the experftnent will be barren, for judgments oannot be conveyed hy results.
" Dec. 28.—Last night he slept under the olothea in the ordinary way. In the morning hia' color was gone. Contrasted with the usual appearance, he was like a lantem with¬ out the light. On two occasiona of nights particularly oold, when he was in his naked state longer than usual, the brilllanoy of his color and the livelineaa of his action was re¬ marked by those who saw him.
In reference lo the foregoing, the following extract from a letter addressed to the father of the child by a gentleman of the medioal profession will be read with interest:—" I oonour with Dr. B. that if you were obliged lo practise as a physician, yoa would be another Davey or Leibig. I am reminded of Abraham's submission and obedience lo the Divine wiU by your philanthropic spirit in experimenting npon yonr own child for the good of mankind. Your succeas is the greater reward. You have given much mat¬ ter for the consideration of medical men in the facta set forth. I oan now nnderstand the wise motive in the ouatom of northern nations, among whom thera ia a vapor-path in every houae. Nursea know that children who from their birth get a daily cold bath, are strohger and healthier than those who do not. Water, whether at high or low tem¬ perature, gives a greater shook to sensibility than air. Many a tenderly reared officer, who succumbed lo the Inclemency of the weather In the huts before Sebastopol, might have been living now had hia mother acted more upou yonr plan. Dr. Dods, an Amerl- om, saya he who cannot reaaon is a fool; he who darea not is a ooward, he who will not is a bigot; bnt he who can, dares, and will reaaon, ia a man. But I aay that he who haa confidence in hia reaaoninga, faith In himself, and courage to aot upon his conclu¬ sions. Is a man of strong mind and noble aoul, fearless and flrm. Yon prove to be all that, and more; yoa are prudent and cauti¬ ous, for If the child shonld suffer from cold or croup yoa have a remedy in a bath at 118 degrees.
Tub LiTTLS Stranobe.—Thongh a man of very strict principles, no man ever enjoyed a joke more than Dr. Byron. He had a vasl fund of hnmor, an every-day wit, and with children partioularly, he loved to chat famil¬ iarly and draw them out. As he was one day passing iuto the houae he was accosted by a very little boy, who aaked him if he wanted any sauce, meaning vegetables.
The dootor inquired if such a tiny thing wasa market-man. "No, sir, my father," was the prompt answer. The doctor said, " Bring me In some squashes;" and passed into the honae, sending oul the change.
In afew momenta the child retnmed, bring¬ ing back part ofthe change. The doctor told him he was welcome to it; but the child would not tak« it, aaying hia father would blame him.
Such singular manners in a child attracted his attenlion, and he began to examine the ohild attentively. He was evidently poor: his little jacket waa pieced and patched with almoat every kind of cloth, and hia trowsers darned with so many colors it was difficult to tell tbe original fabric, but scrupulously neat and clean withal. The boy very quietly en¬ dured the scrutiny of the doctor, while hold¬ ing him at arms length and examining his face.
At length he said: " You seem a nice lit¬ tle boy ; won't you come and live with me, and be a dootor ?" " Yes, sir," said the child. "Spoken like aman," said the dootor, pat¬ ting his head as he dismissed him.
A few weeka paased on, when one day Jim came to say that there was a littie boy with a bundle down stairs wantiug to see the doc¬ tor, and would not tell his business to any one else. " Send him np," was the answer; aud in a few moments he recognized the boy of the squashes, (but no squash himself, as we shall see.) He was dressed in a new, though coarse, suit of clothes, his hair very nicely combed, his shoea brnshed up, and a little bundle lied In a homespun checked handkerchief on his arm.
Deliberately taking off his hat, aud laying it down with hia bundle, he walked up to the doctor, saying, " I have come, air."— " Come for what, my child?" " To live with you and be a doctor," aaid the child, with the ntmoat naivette.
The firat impulse of the dootor waa to laugh immoderately ; but the imperturbable gravity of the little thing rather sobered him afi he recalled his former conversation, aud he avowed he felt he needed no addition to his family.
" Did your father consent to your comlngfj he asked. " Yes, air." " What did he say?'' " I told him you wanted me to oome and live with you and be a doctor; and he said you was a very good man, and I might come as soon as my clothes were ready."
" And your mother, what did ahe say ?"— " Sbe said Dr. Byron would do jnat what he aaid he would. God had provided for me." "And," aaid he, "I have on a new suit of clothes," surveying himself, "and here is another in the bnndle," undoing the kerchief and displaying them, with two little shirts white as anow and a couple of neat check aprons, ao carefully folded, it waa plain none but a mother wonld have done It.
The sensibUitlea of the doctor were awa¬ kened lo see the undonbting truat wilh which that poor oouple had beatowed their child upou him, and auoh a ohild 1 Hia cogitations were not long. He thought of Moaes in the bnlruahes, abandoned to Providence ; and, above all, he thought of the child that was carried into Kgypt, and that divine Saviour who had said " Blessed be little children ;" and he called for the wife of hia bosom, say¬ ing, " Susan, dear, I think we pray in chnrch that God will have mercy upon all young children?" "To be sure we do," said the wondering wife ; "and what then ?" " And the Saviour aaid, 'Whosoever receiveth one such little child in my name receiveth me ?" Take ihis ohUd in his name, and take care of him;" and from that hour this good couple reoeived him to their hearts and homes.
It did not then occur to them that this lit¬ tle creature, thus thrown upon their charity, was destined to be their staff and stay in de¬ clining age, a protector to their daughtera and more than soa to themaelvea. All thia was then nnrevealed; bnt they cheerfully reoeived the child they believed Providence had committed to their oare; and if ever beneficence was rewarded it waa in   this  in¬

HosoRs WITHOOT EMOLUMENTS.—A military man "down east," knowing he could be elect¬ ed to a captaincy if he would consent to a nomination, called upon a neighbor who had formeriy served in that capacity, to ascertain if the office waa one of pecuniary profit. Be¬ ing told by the returned veteran that he had held the office for five yeara and saved #500, ho gladly accepted the nomination, and was ohosen captain of his oompany. After three years' campaigning, in the way of "company training" and "general mnatera," finding his office td be a heavy bill of expenae instead of a aonroe of proflt, he called on his old friend again U>x information aa to how he had savsd $500, while he himself loBt.4100 by the same ofRoe. "Why," replied the old oaptain, I was worth jufl't $1,000 when I was elected;' I held the offloe five yean, and lost $500 by it; sol resigned, and taped ihe otker five hundred /"

Suffice it to say, that the underaigned ae¬ lected for hia ronte thither the B. & 0. H R., by which he was conveyed some i270 miles weatto the atation known aa "Independence," In Barbour conniy. By this conveyanoe I skirted alternately, portions of southern Maryland and northern Virginia, in both of which, after leaving Baltimore in the rear aome SO milea, I may in paasing observe, the coming crops looked anything but encoura¬ ging. I wonld farther add, that from all the information I could glean thronghout the trip, my conviction is that the wheat, over the coantry at large, will exceed very little a half average crop. After reaching the point named, finding no further public conveyance into the interior of the State, I waa obli-. ged to manage as best aa I might, isomettmes traveling on foot and then hiring a convey¬ ance where I could, until at last, after mana¬ ging ihua for about 50 miles, a atage ronte waa intercepted, by which I reached the vil¬ lage of Huttonville, near the eaatem line of Randolph eoanty, and thus, with a little "prospecting" from this point, traveraiuti some aixty miles of what is known as Tygert's Valley.
Of my praotioal experience in the above modes of travel, not much can be favorably stated. I waa not a little disappointed as to the degree of progress in this partionlar, whioh I found our ancient frienda of the "Old Dominion" had made. I had thought that atageing was common in all parta of so old a State—that the necessities of the peo¬ ple of the iuterior had forced at leaat weekly connections of this description with almost all the stations on the B. & 0. R R., but to my sad discomfort, how different idid I ftid the real state of affaira [ So far &om meeting with stages, thera was next to no choice in the matter of roada. Thns, my busineas cea¬ sed at the point above named, viz: Hutton¬ ville, and yet, in order to return to the R R. I had lo retrace my path westward aome 30 miles, before I found a road by which I could reorosa the country to the north, In order lo lake the aame oara again. Thia matter of traveling, then, ia one of the impediments with which the sojourner in the "Old Domin¬ ion" has to contend. The drawback ia doubt¬ less attributable to the eparseness of the population in the first place, and next, to the nomadic habita of the people, which render necesaary bnl little travel, either for pleasure or in the way of business, acarcely anything being done, aa with us, in the wagoning line. Tygert'a Valley is between 60 and 70 mUes in length, and varies in width from a qnarter 'of a mile to three milea. AU the prinoipal streams in Western Virginia, "as is known, run in a western direction. The valley be¬ ing bordered by high mountaina, the scenery is decidedly bold and beautiful, the views in a general way being very aimilar to those by which the Juniata and Susquehanna regions of our own State are obaraeterized. The land naturally is good: I should presume quite equal to that of Lanoaater county—but the proportiou of upland capable of being farmed ia amall, and the valley bottoms are principally naed aa pasture grounda for cattle. This—the cattle business—Is the " peculiar institution" in this section. What little farming is done. Is poorly done ; lime Is not naed as wilh us, and no particular regard paid to the principle of rotation In crops.— In short, each proprietor appeara to aim only al what he consumes, and accordingly, I fonnd that ten bushels of wheat are rather above than below the average per acre, and the other serials In proportion.
This valley waa first partially settled a little over a hundred years ago, yet, judging from the limited progress made In the matier of farming, one would hardly suppose that such a period of time had elapsed since that event. In all the elements necesaary to a prosperous farming  community, however,—save alone the meagreness of the upland as aforesaid— thia region most richly abounds.   In regard to timber and water it standa unsurpasaed by any section   I was ever in.    I must have crossed in moat of the region I was throngh, on an average, counting both small and large streams, at least four to the mile.   The creeks and the Cheat river alao, which  course this region, are streams  of considerable volnme, water clear and cnrrent rapid.    I certainly never enjoyed a higher realizing sense of the beneficence of au all bountiful Creator than when, as  wending my way  over mountain and through valley in thia bold yet grand old region,  I atopped aa  occasion required, lo slake, from the living chrystal watera which issue  alike from  bill-aide aud valley, tbe thirst which had  beeu aggravated by the weariness of travel and the good baconlc fare on which I had either dined, supped or breakfasted.  The timber—besides being large and even superabundant—includes all the varieties common with us, (thongh  chesnut exists In a rather limited amount), also her¬ culean poplars and pine and sugar-maple.— Most of the sugar and molasses  naed in this section are made  of the maple juice.   The stores buy the sngar at nine cents and aell it at twelve and a half.   It  answers all the purposes, eqnally well, of other sugara, and the molaasea is even aweeter and  altogether as pleasant to the taate as the ordinarykinds. The latter I met with neariy always on the table.   The other descriptions of timber are a drag here, and aa improvement  advances, the traveler will witness at  varioua pointa along his route large quantities oi splendid newly felled timber/undergoing the process of destmction by fire, preparatory to the use of the land for farming, &c.    At night the glare from theae fires can be seen at great distances, and add an increased Interest to the other¬ wiae sufficiently   romantic   scenery   of the country.   From this timber-destroying buai¬ ness oomes tbe " log rolling" phrase, in auch common uae in reference to legislative affairs with ua.   The people turnout and help eaoh other in   the matter of log-rolling, jnst aa membera of the legislature hereaway assist each other with their votes in carrying throngh all sorts of measnrea.    Again, a great deal of the heaviest timber is hacked around aome three or four feet from the ground and thus suffered to die.    Hence these lands are called "hackings," and are employed for the cattle to vegetate npon.
Bat besides timber and water, Iron, Bitu¬ minous Coal and Limestone abound here in luxuriant abundance. For the iron bnsiness in all ita branches, It strikes me, this region is mosl favorably adapted. Wood in im¬ measurable qnantiiies could here be had merely by the asking for it.
Aa already observed, farming Is an inciden¬ tal business in thia region, cattle breeding aud grazing being the principal employment and source of livelihood. Most of the lead¬ ing cattle men own large tracts of valley and mountain land together, (the whole being asseaaed at about fifty conta an acre). It la oommon among them to own 1500, 2000 and fiOOO, and one gentleman I met with owns in the neighborhood of 60,000 acrea. Of course these men " handle" a large number of cattle In the course of a year. One might think that such hard service would break them down, but on the contrary, like medicine under certain circumstancea, it affords the ¦very aliment upou which they aubaiat; in ahort, they grow fat and healthy at the exer¬ ciae, and their purses quite plethoric.
The citizens generaUy of this valley, in point of sociability, detract nothing from the well known reputation of Virginians at large. They are manly in their deportment, very conversable and obliging, and thus make the stranger's sojourn In every way agreeable to him.
The provisions for education in this aection are rather meagre. The schoola are on the BubBcription plan, and the houaea being sparse, there is not much encouragement In point of nambers of the scholars, to induce competent teachera to tarry long at a time in any one neighborhood, I am glad, however, to perceive by the papera since my return, that Gov. Wiae ia now agitating this, of aU questions, one of the moat vital interest lo the proaperity of a atate. Succeas to all ef¬ forts of the kind I
In Randolph county there Is no paper pub¬ lished, and but few persons take them from other parts of the State. Those taken, more¬ over, are like Virginia papera too generally, loaded.to the guards with poUtical news, which, thongh well enough about election timea, ia certainly unprofitable, when pre¬ aented aa the mental pabulum for the year round. As an instance that,some persons there must read the newspapers but little, I had occaaion in speaking to a Barbour ooun¬ ty man, to refer to Dr. Kane, when I was as- tounded with the exclamation as lo " who he was—I had not heard of him."
The bnildinga of the valley are very ordi¬ nary—mostly log housea, some frame and some few brick. I cannot now remember of having been in a single house where the rooms were not divided off simply by a thin board partition. I attended conference meet¬ ing one day at a ohnroh vdifice* which waa built of loga, about eight by twelve feet in size and the Toof was boards, whioh, instead of being nailed; on, were aecured in their places by heavy timbers laid crosswise there¬ upon. The preacher I may add, waa on thia occasion to have undergone a trial upon cer¬ tain grave ohargea {ffeferred againat him by aome of his piriahionen, but other preachers of the Circuit failfiig to be in attendance; the trial, much to my cUaa^tpointment, did not take place. .

the freedom from suspicion aa to committing amall offences with which tbe humbleat viai¬ ted the atorea and other placea offering temp¬ tationa to the crafty. And who, In this conu¬ ty of Lancaater, keeping atore, would feel quite aafe, in trasting to the mere naked glass In his windows, as a protection agalnat bur¬ glaries? Yet to leave a store there, in thia way, is about as oommon aa are stores them¬ aelves, and auch a thing as attempting to un- lawfally enter one, la an occurrence of the rarest character. And this, beat^ In mind. Is where—as we are told—the demoralizing in¬ stitution of Slavery prevails.
Of Slavery, it is true, one meeta with but few traces and few subjects of il In this aec¬ tion. There is no evidence of any particular Bubjection in the oondition of the colored men here. Their inleroourae with the white people Is characterized by as great a degree of freedom aa that which marka the two races in Lanoaster counly. Moreover, where the slaves evince any disposition to be economi¬ cal and provide aomething for themselves, I believe It is the policy of their masters to encourage them to a certain extent. I pas- sad an evening with the Intelligent aon of one of the ex-Governors of the State, and he mentioned the caae of two of his slaves— man And wife—who sometime back gave him to understand that they thought they could do belter by themaelves. He felt disposed to acquiesce in their view and granted them the privilege of taking up their abode and trying their fortune upon an unoocupled place, not far from their old home. They tried the ex¬ periment, but one difficulty after anolher presented itself; they soon got tired of the trial, when the wife one day suddenly broke out in lamentations, that she was not going to " stand thia any longer—I'a going home !" Here we have an example of an absence of the ability of self-advancement on the part of the bond, but lo my mind. It only serves to ahow that where people are not learned the lesson of thinking for themselves, and of self-reliance, from their youth up, it is diffi¬ cult in mature years and at will to contract those habits—nor am I aware that in this respeot the white man, under aimilar circum¬ stances, can exert auy materially greater la¬ tent reaonrcea than the colored man. On the other hand, I heard of another case In which, a slave—rather brighter in intellect and distinguished by more energy of charac¬ ter than his fellows generaUy—complained of such poor health as to be of little use as a hand. He had managed, however, lo accu¬ mulate the aum of about $500, out of which he found no difficulty for a amall moiety in baying his time, and with the remainder took up hia departure for one of the Western statea—Iowa, I believe—where he soon be¬ came very healthy, industrioua and proaper- otisl Thna, adversity sometlmea caUa into play genius, even in the colored man.
But, a great many of the land proprietors own no alavea at all, and thoae wbo do own them, have generally but from one to four ; and wherever the latter nnmber are found, two of them through age, being either too yonng or too old, are almost invariably found to be Incapacitated for anything like regular labor. The Inutility of slave labor iu this region, in short, ia admitted, and the people generally, at heart, as It seemed to me, unfa¬ vorably inclined towards it; and yet it is true, when the question of slavery is con¬ versed upon, they appear lo regard it as a kind of duty—tha reault of either custom or education or embittered feelinga. consequent upon tbe agitation of the question at the north—I don't know whiah—to argue in favor rather than against the system. I am also bound al any rate to believe, from the uni' versal indifference there manifested upon this snbject, that had the violent agitation which has prevailed at the north for some yeara, have hid no existence, the State of Virginia would ere thia have nearly if not altogether rid itaelf of this incubus upon the energies of the white man, and conse¬ quently npon the progreaa of the State In all things calculated to develop her great and buried resources. This opinion, how¬ ever, waa freely advanced there by an intel¬ ligent gentleman, himself a " nativu to the manor born," and Ita truth aa freely conceded by sevoral others in whose presence it waa uttered. But, aad to tell, fanatical proscrip* tion upon this snbject, has had its usual course and its only effect—as in other analo¬ gous casea—of Increasing the evil it fain would mitigate or exterminate. I am no admirer of slavery ; on the contrary, I have always regarded it as a misfortune that it waa establiahed within the borders of our national domain, but no one having aucceeded in showing in what particular the slave would be bettered or the apread of the slave system arrested In case tbe agitation of the aubject should be urged to extremes and a disrup¬ tion of the Confederacy ensue, I for this rea¬ aon among others, prefer to predicate all my hopes of its extinction upon the quiet work¬ ings, first, of frieudly discussion and remon¬ strance, and second, the attractive example in material progress, of the Free Statea them¬ aelves, rather thau to any result which ia likely to come from the exasperating crusade which has of late beeu so mercilessly waged upon this question at the North.
The matter, as you are aware, of the white as againat the black " basis," haa beeu a ques¬ tion of discussion in Virginia, iu conuection with the Bubject of apportioning representa¬ tives, and I heard of but oue sentiment upon the aabject in the west, and that decidedly in aupport of the white platform. Tbe rea- aou of thia preference ts, that aa things exist there now, the eastern portion of the Stato has loo great a preponderance in matters of legislation, when the relative nnmbera of white men—east and weat—.ire considered.— This and other facts elicited through my re¬ cent intercourse with the people of Tygert's Valley, abundantly satisfied me that If fanaticism wonld only let the question alone, the evil of slavery would much more surely and sooner than otherwise, cure itself.
It happened to be election day when I was in Virginia, and I stopped at two or three of the polls on my way for a few minutes, to witness the manner of voting. As you are aware, the vote ia by open ballot or viva voce, that ia, each voter on going np to the poUs glvea in Uia name, when he Is asked at the top of the voice by one occupying the position of judge, "who do you vote for Atlorney Gtneral ?"—then "Congress," and ao on throughout the ticket. I noticed that the judge at one poll in particular, while awaiting a reply to each question, kept a printed ticket—probably one with namea on favoring his owu political blaa—steadily In the eye of the voter.
The crops of this region looked unpromis¬ ing, and were regarded as inferior to those, of anything like former favorable seasons. In the same aection. The complaint as to the aoarceneaa of laat year's orops was the com¬ mon loplo among the people. $1.50 each for com and oats per bushel, and $2.50 for pota¬ toes, were the prices ruling when Iwas there. Not much of theae stuffs, however, changed hands at suoh pricea—moat persons, as far as I conld judge, managed to keep sufficient on band of their own raising, to support themselves through the year.
This Valley, like nearly aU other neighbor¬ hoods. Is distinguished by some local expres¬ sions. " Thar" for ihere, is quite common. Like all "fleah is grasa" with as, ao there all atone is rook; and If hogs or other animals get into mlsohief, the command you wiU most likely hear given to one of tbe men ia, "rock them out," I. e., " atone them ont"—aa with
Some deer, beara and other wild animala still reside in the mountainous parta of thia flection, alao, rattlesnakes—two prodigious specimens of which I saw.
AU along my route, eager Inquiry waa made about the prospecta of the Lancaater Bank, and considerable of Its paper is In the possession of the people of Virginia. I heard of one case—tbat of a poor widow, if I re¬ member aright—In the neighborhood where 1 stopped for aome days, who had $250 of it; and also of several other persona in different parts of tbe State, wlthmnch larger amounts. Even at the Baltimore depot, a Lanoaater " County Bank," note was declined aa pay¬ ment for a ticket on the R R.; and in Bev¬ erly, Randolph county, a landlord refused the aame note for the reaaon that the people there did not know, or chooae to know any distinction in Lancaster money. Thus, the injnry upon the oredit of Lancaater connty, which the plundering managers of the "Lan¬ oaater Bank" have inflicted, ia undoubtedly wideapread, and wiU require a thousand fold the time to remove lhat waa neceisrry In or¬ der to infliot it.
In conclasion, I thought on the whole ol the Tygert's VaUey region of "Old Virginia," that to any one who might be "Sighing for a cottage in some vast wildemeaa"—In aome remote and aeqneatered forest, where, at any reapectable diatanoe, (aave in the vaUeys) you can only divine the faot of human habi¬ tations being nigh at hand " by the smoke whioh so graoefnUy ourla" up inlo the blue ether—bnt where, as a relief, after emerging from the monntain faalDosaea, as glorious vaU^ views oan be enjoyed as ever the Sun tinted with a thonaand hnes—^to auch aaonel would.commend this naturaUy beaa¬ tifal And. prolific, yet bold and ragged coun¬ tiy. . .dbSmobe.
