" "Have been in the woods this pleasant June day gathering wild flowers, leaves, pebbles ana acorns, communing with Nature in her forest recesses and shady bowers, listening to her music, grander to my heart than the most sublime creations of man's genius—the bird song—the breeze as it whispered to my enraptured ear, notes of peaoe and joy, telling me that it had breathed on the brows of loved ones,—and giving me lessons of content that I am so blessed." "The grand picture of nature spread out before me, the blue sky with its banks of fleecy clouds where it seems one might float through sppce unto the pearly gates of the better land, the hills and little brooks and I rise from my silent suffering, and go on my Way with no moan.

The Times indulges in a remark implying that a wish to make polical capital by the appointment of a swarm of collection offices may have some influence in tMe choice of bills, bat it is absurd to tHako such intimation against any party in Congress so far connected with the discussion of the measure, and there is not a shadow of ground for it against the treasury, at any other executive department.

I was a school girl when she was married—I remember well the pale bride and kindly man whom cousin Miriam bade me call oousin. It is many long years ago to-night and her history comes to me viridly as I recall her peaceful death, for she i so loved and who so tenderly loved me lies cold and low in her narrow bed, the lips which never spoke unkindly are hushed in death's drear silence. Oh I if earth were all I If there were no Heaven I Dear Miriam, intimate as wo were I had not known her history. True, I knew she had lived a sunny life, suWounded by all the world calls happiness and finally left an orphan, and though in possession of an ample income, yet always so industrious, never an idle moment and with the kindest of husbands bad always been so cheerful Knowing her talents, I, one day said to her, "Why do you not write?" She shoolf her head and answered, "I could sing but one song—I oquM write but one story;— the song—the story of my life and 1 do not csre to recall thepast in my happy present—I am tranquil now and would remain so to the end." Her looks forbade further questioning and I rested there till she should open to me the hidden recesses of her heart.

The disturbed condition of the country which has prevailed the year past has paralyzed trade, and agriculturists, in common with most other classes of the community, seem to have superseded all energy of action, beyond that called for by the exigencies of the day. At this time the prospect of a speedy peace may fairly be anticipated, and we hope to fibd, at an early date, the energies of all the States directed again toward the common benefit; and farmers now, with the slightest foretho't, must see their interest in renewed vigor in the prosecution of their business. The demand for this year will probably be greater than that of any previous year. The general success of business of all kinds will be unprecedented, and the mere increase in con sumption consequent upon successful trade, will of itself give rise to unusual demand for agricultural products. We now see that in all of the southern ports, cotton has a mere nominal value, while at the north it has greatly increased in prices ; the mere change of position oonsequent upon this, will create an im- Louisiana is worth but three cents a pound, and in New York has advanced materially. Pork, flour, and corn, in most of the southern States, bear extraordinary prices, while in the northwest they may be purchased at a very low rate. Indeed, there is 110 part of the country in which some commodity is not in excess, while the locality is deficient In others, to be fotind elsewhere in plenty. The amount of manufactured goods Whioh has been consumed, without being replaced throughout the south, is very large, and even in the north, the manufacturers have been so panic stricken, that it is deficient of the very class of goods which it usually supplies to other markets. , The very moment the country is at peace,I an amount of interchange of commodities most occur, oreatiog the most successful trade New York has ever known ; and indeed, this re. mark will apply equally well to every part of the oountry. The mere movement of transportation, giving activity to the capital, will cSU out aH the resources of credit in its various modifications. Producers, manufacturers, negotiators and bankers, will all prosper under new state of things, all of which will tend to an increased use of farm products. Our factories have sent forth large numbers of their workmen as soldiers, while the agricultural districts have parted with thousands of their most industrious sons. Millions of acres of land have been neglected, and we anticipate) excessive demand,with remunerative prices for every article which can find its way to the proper markets. As water finds its level, SO' will the laws of trade equalize all the aberrations from the usual healthy connections which mw have occurred during these troubled times, and this equalization calling out all the energies of the nation, and giving an impetus to commerce, manu&ctures and agriculture, will form an epoch in the history of our country, inhabitants of towns and cities will become the liberal buyers of luxurios, and those engaged in tho raising of small fruits, as well as orchard products, will find better markets than have occured for years, while staple crops Will be required to supply the manufacturing districts, where unprecedented success will insure increased demaud. rvR.

An third messenger reached him, just as hU troops emerged from behind a coppice,, iu, full view of tho enemy, whose balls now began to whistle about them. ''Halt!" commanded the Colonel ; "form into column and attend prayers." And there in the face of the enemy, did the regifaent pause, while thA'solemn prater was offered for their success in the deadly struggle they, 'were about tov begin. Prayer being ended, the Coloriel addressed his men in a speech whioh for brevity, conciseness and vigor, may bear comparison with any that C'tojur Napoleon over addressed to their troops. "Soldiers," said he, "our wives, and children are in the rear, the Hessians are in front—give it to them !"

Mr.ttrt Editor»,—With pleasure I report my success in using your Ourculio mixture last season. You wiil probably recollect that in applying it, the previous year, one tree was omitted, upon whicfc there was but a small quantity of fruit, while the rest bore full crops. In this experiment I applied it to all my trees with uniform result —full and perfect orops on every one. My Egg Plums were, truly magnificent, quantity abundant, ftilly matured, and presenting a beautiful appearance upon the trees before they were gathered. Many inquiries were made by visitors how T could grow stich fruit, as theirs were failures. Business required an absence from home for a few days, and wishing to make the application of your mixture personally, it was necessarily done under disadvantageous circumstanccs, as an extract from my diary will show: " Monday, June 3rf.—Circulios have made their first appearance. Plums sue of small peas. Commenoed raining at 7 A. Ms Continued until 1 P. M., then clear.— As 'stan as the foliage was dry, applied the mixture. Thunder shower in the evening, whjoh continued half an hour." The next morning left home, which prevented any further application, ad you suggest would be necessary in the event of rain within three weeks, yet the drop was perfect. I firmly believe, without the application, it would resulted in a failure. Hence I conceive it your duty to again remind those interested, of this remedy, that they may ara'' themselves of its benefits. Very respectfully yours, «&, W. A CyMMINGS. We have received requests from several persons to republish the directions for preparing and applying this mixture. The following are the proportions. If any are unable to obtain the whale oil soap, strong soft soap may be used. JENNINGS & BROTHER, No. 47 North 94 St., Philad'a.
