By putting on the turn plow cast-' ings, a .double turn plow is formed, which will do the work of 2 men and 2 horses, with one nian ^uuil a single horso, with sis much ease as with an ordinary turn plow. 3rd.

It Js a singular but interesting study?the exquisite allinity which some emotions of our nature have with others of equal nobleness and purity. The commingling of the most delicate chemicals cannot surpass the syntheti cal combination of these priceless but immaterial substances of the soul. While I do not think that any elliut of emotional synthesis could unite cowardice and tenderness into one indissoluble body, I have never known a imm who was truly brave, in the best souse of the word, but his nature was tender and sympathetic. When our beloved and immortal Lee?God bless him!?walked over the oattle ground at Malvern Hill, it was told me by one of his men, who Jay wounded himself upon that bloody field, that he uever saw more sympa thy manifested by a woman than was shown by his idolized chief towards the men who had fallen tmdcrjvis leadership inat day and JBfoiflB* > tore him, wounded, dead or dying. The great Southern champion, just fruih the flush of victory over the de feat) d foe, without one thought oft.be fresh laurels about his brow, left his suite, raid, alone, went about among bis <'J'ow-men, to cheer and relieve them wherever he could. With the tears streaming from his eyes, he here bends over a poor wounded private in rags and tatters, and lilting his head tenderly, puts the cup of .water to his lips; and while endeavoring to staunch the blood of an ugly wound, speaks words of hope and comfort to the suf ferer, moaning so touchiugly in his pain. Over there, he bows by some dead hero, fallen "with his face to the foe," and smoothing back the matted ?sad gory Jocks from the pallid fa/ic, reverently folds the icy bauds upon the pulseless breast and straightens the stiffening limbs in the cold embrace of death; then sadly passing on, now kneels beside one who fell in close encounter with his last enemy, The noldier lifts his eyes to the pitying face of his beloved General, who, with tears still dropping down his bearded cheeks tenderly presses the clammy hand in his, ami says in a low quiver voice: "My friend, this is one of the heart rending but inevitable results 61 war. You have dune your duty nobly and bravely; lift your heart now to Hi in who can savo, and lie will soou receive your spirit where there is ho more con icl. and death." '"Tis luve, Lue, (bat. makes the world go round." Though the earth is sadder for tin; loss of Robert E. Leo, 1 thank God that we have known and loved him, and that his life with us is a precious and eternal memory ! Though we may never look upon his like again, it is a sweet joy to know that ho is now safe whore ''Xo winds of war will ever blow;" that his "tender crowned soul" is with God, who is love?where no envious ennitity can ever again vent iu5 cruelty and malico against him, and no Lost Cause break his great, loving heart. _ ??jam ? ? ? <mr-i?-?.. . - ? m That was a shrewd met bed which an Iowa. girl recently adopted to in- i dticc all her friends to attend hor wedding. She didn't let them know tip to the last moment who the groom was 16 be, A Patriotic Uirl. At tKu time General Green retrea ted before Lord Knwdon from Ninety Six, wh?ui he had passed Ijroad river he wan very desirous tosend an order to General Sum tor who was on the i Watered, to join him; that they might attack l$nwdon, who had divided his fi.rce. But the general could find no man in thai part of the Stato who was bold enough to undertake so dah geroifl??ois3ioii. The country to he passed tprough for niiiny miles was full of blood-thirsty torics, who on ev ery iteenfrio? that offered imbrue I their hands in the blood of the whigs. At length Emily Geiger presented herself to General Green, and propo sed to tttst as his messenger; and the general, both surprised and delighted, c ose with her proposal, lie decor dingly wrote a letter and delivered it, and at the same time communicated the contents of it verbally, to he told to SumiL'r in case of accidents, Emily was ydtltig, but as to her person or sid ventures on the way wo have no fur liter information, except that she was mountc<j_on horseback upon aside sad die, and on the second day of her jour riey shefwas inter opted by Lord Haw dorrs seputs. Coming from the diree tlori or fircone's army, and hot being able to tell an untruth without blush ing, Emily was suspected and consign ed to a 'room, and as the officer in com mand'hjad the modesty not to search her at lille time, he sent for an old to ry matnpn as more fitting for that pur pose. iSiiily was not wanting in expo dient, ?ad as soon as the door was closed ^nd the hustle a little subsided, she ntjftup the letter, piece by piece.

A short time since mention was made in the Union und American of a my."-toriouH hnn?J that had grown from a grave in Gibson County. We got our information from an nrliolu in the Jackson Courier-'HemiM. We extract from that article the following account of this wonderful phenomenon : "Moud..y our city was unusually excited by the exhibition iu the Cum ity'JJera/d office of a hand of wood which grew out of a grave near Vork ville, in Gibson County. It was brought into our office by Captain G. S. Andrews of that county, who gives us its history, A man named Wil liam Her/on was outwalking with his wife one Sunday evening not long since, and in passing m\ old neglected graveyard, near the public road, she saw a gum bush with a b nch of rhisleloc on its top, ttml requested her husband to get it for her. He went and cut the top off the bush, and com menced breaking off the in islet oc, when, to his surprise and terror, lie discovered that the wood underneath presented the perfect form ofh human hand. Capt. Andrews, hen ring (if the wonderful discovery, went to the hoiiso of Air. Ileeron, who, feeling rather uncomfortable, over the though I that he cut it from a grave, and per il, ps having some theory us to it.* supernatural significance, very wil lingly let Capt. And rows have it. There are citizens of this city to whom Ctipt. Andrews ami Mr. llerron are known, and they tire vouched for ns truthful men, but ?ho hand itself is proof enough of the truth of their statement, concerning its'growth on a bush. The bush from which it was cut is six feet high, und the hand was on the top pointing upwards, present ing the position of the minister's hand when pr< nouncing a benediction. It is about the size of a six year old; child's hand', with long slender fingers like those of a person very much emaciated by sickness. The wood has enlarged formations on each finger and the thumb, representing and cor responding with the joints of the hu man -hand. The most remarkable feature about it is the natural appear ance of the nails. They have a kind of flesh color, and the balance of the hand, where the bark has been entire ly removed looks ghastly white. The first impression it makes upon you is the same experienced in handling a skeleton, and a large majority 61 those who see it, regard it with the same subdued, half superstitious owe, inspired by the presence of a corpse. Mr. A mi rows says the grave from which it was cut is supposed to be the grave of a very devout Methodist minister by the name of Butcher, w ho was buried there many years ago." Make it Two Dollars.
