GRANDFATHER'S OLD FARM,
GRANDFATHER'S OLD FARM, AND
WHAT WAS DONE WITH IT.
I wsi on a trip in the cars lately and found
myself upon the seat wiih a gentlemonly man
advanced in years, to whom (as I honor old ace)
1 endeavored lo mokemjstlf agreeable, eu
lout. . -V ,
". , After the interchange ef a few commonplace
teinarks,our conversation turned upon the sub
ject of agriculture, the old and new modes of
farming, &c I subsequently ascertained that
my venerable acquainiance was a most intelli
gent farmer, who bad retired in his old age
upon a competency. As we dashed along in
the cars he entertained me with the substsnce
of the following narrative, the details of which
ha -assured nie bad lfai.spired within bis
knowledge. -
Speaking nf the exciting progress ond im
' provemtnis in agriculture, aaid he, reminds
me of an instance that occurred wiihin my re
membrance, which I Will relate to you, if you
' are dirpnsed to hear it. I Ibauked Lira, a. d be
li toe ted on as follows: .
Borne forty years 01 more ago, a neighbor of
niine in C, a Mr. smith occupied an immense
iract of land, which be called a. ''farm." It
was about thirty rods in width, aixi upwards of
twawiiea w lenxfbt upon wlitcli he bad been
brought up a "farmer, and Wbere bis fattier
and grandfather bad lived before him.
. Each generation of the Smiths thai bad
dwelt upon this strip of. Isnd, hsd contrived to
farm it, each in the same oiu way, year in ana
year out, from father :o son. I he place had
never known a dollar's incumbrance; scores of
Hmiih's hsd been reared uprn it, generntion
after generation came and passed away there,
and the same cart pa: lis, ami the same dilapi
dated Walla and shanties and decayed trees
were still viible almost the same furrow
bad been turned for a hundred years or more;
when, as bod been the custom of the Smith
families' on previous occasions, it finally came
the turn of the occupant lo resign grandfathers
, old place to h is only son, Ben Smith now come
to thirty. t .
For five and thirty yesrs at least Hen's father
bad carriedon bis farm. In all thst'.ong pe:i
od, and regular aa the, year rolled round, as
regular bad Mr. Smith ploughed up his eight
acres, mowed all the grass that Providence
would grow for him, postured bis ten sheep,
reared his four bead of cattle, fattened his
three bogs, and Wintered as many cows. But
this was not all.
True Mr. Smith bad I great farm. He toiled
like trooper, from daylight liil dark. ' He
raised his own pork and corn (such as it was,)
bis cattle and fodder; from bis own foiest the
wood he burned; never oed any man a far
thing. He contrived even to pay bis own
town and county las. But be was literally
"even witb the world," for be owed no one,
and no one owed bint a dollar. And so be
Jived up to seventy, i , -
"Ben," aaid the old man to bis son, one eve
ning, as tbeysat be tors the fire, "1 am getting
old. I have worked pooty bard here, lor a
good many years, rnd I have concluded to give
; imp. It ia yonr turn now." .r
U "My turn for wbatf" aaked Ben.
; To tak charge of the farm, Ben. ' Yoo are
young, stout and bealtby. I am going to give
up the homestead to yoo; and if yon continue
to labor eonatantly as I've done, and your
father did afore us you can get a good.livin'
offon'taswe have done. We can't lake noth-
ing oat of this world with us, Ben. Naked
we came into it and so we-musi go out". But
' the old place ia free from incumbrance, there
-. never was a dollar mortgage on it, and I hope
' there never will be. 1 shall give you the farm
, free and clear to-morrow.
Ben slept on this, and the next day be was
i snsster of the farm thirty rods wide and two
i. vnd a half miles long. v '" ,
"1 aball take the place, father." be said.
nd earry it on; but not as you and grandfather,
5 and bis fsther did."
And thonrh tbe old rentlemin shook bis
" fiead and looked earnestly over the bridge of
bis specs st his son, Ben was as good ss nts
r word; forthwith he went to work in earnest.
Spring came. Bob went into the old eight
' " acre field sod ploughed op one half of it.
: Upon this he hsd deposited the wbple of the
V season's manure, Ihet bad hitherto for rears
been sparsely spread upon doable Che surf see
u He harrowed these four acres, and harrowed
them well, ' Hoeing time came and Ben bad
t only me half the space to go over. Though
' the 4n and potatoes looked.- finely, acd the
heeta, the cabbagea, and the eairots grew mar-
vallously, and the old man grew crusty, and
' declared it wooldnt do, there woukl'nt be
v roota enough. But Ben want light along his
, own way.:
At the secoud toeing bea went into bis four
' seres; but not with a bud hoe. . He got some
kind of a iimcrack.tea the old man termed it,)
'. ' Pitched to the old mare's heels, inslesd
. " tioeing bis notstoes man fashion; he'd begun
? t with bis improvement; but thsl cultivator,
' A Hen called it, ."would'nt jrorK no bow,"
', Ben continued the use of the cultivator,
however; the. old gentleman continued
, grumble, and tlm corn and potatoes continued
, to nourish. . : . : . . - .

But the four acres of corn and potatoes and
vegetables still grew finely. Never had the
Smith's seen such corn, such potatoes and car
rots. . '
The grass came op thick and strong and
thrifty, and the harvest time came arounl at

The cattle had plenty of good feed, and they
were rat, and sleek, thepigs ware 1st, the poul

Winter came, ana the goou old rather enter

carefully taught to ahell the cobs across the
edge of a shovel, now stood beside onother
slunid machine, throwing in a bushel of ears
at the top, while the big golden kernels rush
ed cut in a constant shower at the bottom.
Ben Smith had "squandered" six dollars in
cash upon a corn aheller I "What is the Billy

g'ni'ur, as hf sighed and turned to the barn
again.
The olu man examined the harvesting; there
was more in the mows than ever before. The
corn hsd turned out grandly. There wn ev

One parlicnlnr dork, I'smn, dull, drirrley
snd disagreeable days in the latter part of No
vember, a tall, gaunt, queer looking customer
dressed in s blue coal with yellow buttons,
with 'yallar' striped pantaloons, and call-skin
terminations, sat "solitary and alone" in a
little room, rituniad in a certaiu little tavern,
street, Philadelphia.
Before him was a Utile rouud (able on whose
marble lop was 'n 'I a lilile' pitcher of smo
king punch, 'screchen hot,' and a wine glass.
The solitary individual was York nothing

pitcher full nigh his second empty. One
minute after, and you couldn't fact yon see
have squeezed a drop out of eiil.er the pitch

York rung the bell. T e waiter popped his
head in at (lie door.
"King, so?"
"Of coarse I did. I- it clearing off?"
"No tn damp, ,i fog so thick, sa, you

"Yes an immediately, sa." ' '
The waiter withdrew, and in a few seconds
returned with a third pitcher of punch, and
York was be. inning lo feel glorious, when, on
raising up his eyes, li-saw uis own fiuure in
pier glass, dueclly opposite. He rubbed his
eyes again. .

sitting right before me, I'll swear there' im
pudence lor you! This is a private room, sir,
for my sole accommodation."
He waited a minute, expecting an answer.
but his reflection Ojily stared al hia and held
its place.
"1 was saying, sir, tha. this is my private
room mine, sir!" cried, lorn, fetching his
voice an actavo higher than it was before

UNMANLY ASSAULT ON BONNETS.
Mr. Punch, as the scknowledged champion
of Ihe rights of woman (blesa 'em howtver
right and however wrong!, has to denounce
a mean and cowardly attach, made by a medi
cal practitioner in the human firm. upon that
delicate and fairly-like fabric, the female bon
net. .The dastard effects to "lament the great
increase of tic-douloureux in the forehead!"
He, moreover, bewails Hie predominance of
"greot suffering in the eor," induced, as he
firmly believes, "from the present absurd fash-1
ion of dressing the eck instead o' Ihe head."
And why not? The fact is, poor women have
been put loo much aback loo much on one
side and Mr. Punch cannot but look at the
herolcattempt make by '.he poor creatures to
thrust the bonnet on the shoulder., as a noble
resolution looppear as bare-faced as pinible.
W'e yet hope to see a womnn as for oui of her
bonnet as a snail con come cut of her shell;
and 83 for tic-douloureux, tar ache, head
ache and so forth, why, what are such cal l mi
tits other than glorious? . Even ns soldiers
rarry scars in honor and memory of their valor,
so many women have ear ache, head-ache and
lic-douioureux. as glorious life long records of
the courage that laced all weathers without a
bonnet.
Mr. Punch hardly knows a more touching
sight a sit'ht so convincing of the inherent
energy and devotion of the sex than lo be
holds beautilul, irogue c ream re ie,ring the
east wind that at this moment (Mr. I'uiiuh
doe not disdain to confess the weakness)
makes him rejoice al the fireside like a crick
et. It if, we tay, a beantiful und a touching
spectacle to contemplate the young creature
with a face relentlessly mottleJ by the east
wind, her nose as lust dabbed with s blue
bog, and the wind, like winding invisible
steel, cutting at the very roots, of the loved
one's hair, twisting like cork screws into the
hollows of her all credulous ears, nnd suoil?
ntering into the beloved anatomy, making of
the nerves so many dealli-watcties tnat sliott
lioond tic, it m.iy be for Ihe term of hernat
urol life. The lite maybe blighted. Bui
what of thot ? Can the loved one be less
precious? Quite the' reverse. Even os we
pay additional honor lo tha hero without

deeper homage lo the woman whose whole ex
islence goes upon such tic. Indeed, tor a wo

We have said that words are inadequate to
express our deep and earneit gratification at
the fin") consummation or the etiuria.ol the
Democratic party of this Stole; but works will
do it better. We have five month in which
to declnre to the country our sense of the hon
or conferred on Pennsylvania. We must
uckle on our armor, and enter in'o the con
test with ardor and enihiistnMn; nnd when, in
November next, the ballot box shall announce
majority of fifty thousand for buchanan and
Bri
reckinridge, it will also bear to every por
on of the land, the assurance that our good
old State is not unmindful of the favor which
she has received, and not unworthy to give a
Democratic President to the American Union.
The Pittsburg Post remark;:
The National Democratic Convention could

character and history ia known nnd admired
by hundreds of thousand of Democrats anil
high-minded Whigs, who will join hands in
iv imi; him such a vote next November as was
never before received by any other man in the
Keystcne Slate. The gleam of satisfaction
which yesterday lighted up the countenance
fall, and their joyfulexclomationi when they
heard the result, were indications that can not
be misread. We never saw so much enthusi-
sm so much joyfnlexcilement not by Dem
ocrats alone, but by men ef every shade of
politics as followed tbe announcement of bis
selection by an unanimous vote.
The Cleveland (0.,) Plain Dealer l:iys:
Thb Next President. The news of the nora
nation of Mr. liuchannn was received in this
city by the Democracy with an enthusiasm
wich is rareli equalled. That tins is the great
political event of the day is obvious to men of
all parties. The convention wss composed of
the best men of the Democratic party, gather
ed from every section between the Atlantic
snd the Pacific, and it thoroughly represented
the judgement and sentiment of the only na
tional party now existing in the Union. The
whole proceedings have been characterized
by harmony and magnanimity on Ihe part of
all, and the conviction lhat the decisions of
the Convention were to be the ruling policy
of the country codsed a c ol and dispassion
ate deliberation upon every step, every mea
sure and every vote. The dignified and de
cided tone of the resolutions composing the
platform touching every question of political
uteres!, meets the most nearly approval ol sit
Democrats. The nomination of James Bu
chanan is conceded by all parlies to be equiv
alent to an election.
The Buffalo Courier, a leading Democratic
poper in the Empire State, says:
We have space to ssy little of thechsracter
and qualifications of Jsmes Buchanan for the
Presidency, and little is necessary, since bis
name and the leading features of bis political
carter are "familiar as household words" lo
the gieat mass of tbe people of this land.
They know him as a statesman of ability, as
a man of tried integrity and high personal
worth, as a cslm, judicious and firm man, ss
an Americon gentleman, and as a sound, hon
est, unwavering Democrat. He will command
as he deserves, the confidence of the whole
communitity of const rvative, high-minded
men. Those who have been alarmed at the
spread of ultraism at the north and south, and
the utter recklessness wun Which political
adventurers are playing their desperate games
will feel that the Lnion will le sate in his
hands. Uis past consistency as a public man,
os well as the comprehensive Na.ional Plat
form on which he stands, conspires to place
birn bef re the people under circumstances
peculiarly favorable and prophetic of success
Not only will every true Democrat vote for
him, but thousands ol men little known in pal
H ics, and who seldom go to the polls, will be
there to say by their suffrages lhat this mod
agitation which is disgracing the country and
endangering our institutions must be slopped;
that they believe lhat the principles oi the
pemonratic parly are those of the Constitu
tion, and that its policy is the true one for Ihe
country. This and more will be expressed
by the popular majority which the Democratic
electoral Ticket will receive in November
next.

The Frankfort (Kentucky) Yromati says:

us the gratifying intelligence of the nomina
tions made by tbe Cincinnati convention.
Buchanan for President and John C Breckin
ridge for Vice. The lightening was not swif
ter than the enthusiasm which went front one
Democratic heart to another on this announce
ment. It was an enthusiasm that foretells tl.e
doom of fanaticism in next November.
While we write the "deep-mouthed eon
non," at Ihe bidding of Captain M. Joyce, is
thundering its loud voice over our little city,
snd its echoes fall upon our ears as an earnest
of certain suceess.
Hurrah for Buchanan and Breckirritlge
The Toledo (Ohio) Rcpullican says:
This nomination removes all doubt, if any
before existed, ai, to the result of the election
i't November next) it is one eminently snd in
every way 1 fit lo be made;' and its mere an
nouncement falls like an exceedingly wet '
blanket on the half-kindled hopes of a dis
served and discordant opposition. The lor-g
public life of Mr. Buchanan, the prominent
and distinguished position lie has occupied for.
a third of a century, his intimate and tnorougb
acquainiance with the business of the Govern
ment, his long-tried patriotism, and his high
character and commanding talents as a man
and a statesman, leave noihing to be desired in
our atandard-bearer. And his wide and well
learned popularity, and the enthusiasm with
which his nomination was received at Cincin
nati the echoes of which are caught up and
repeated in increasing volume by every bill
from Maine to Texas afford a sure guarantee
of bis triumphant election to that place which
he is so sinply qualified to fill and to adorn,
the Presidency ol the United Statea. "
We take the following fiom a New York
City journal!
The Buchanan Pioneer Association of the
city of New York, immediately on the receipt
of the nomination, fired one hundred guns in
the P.JiIi; after which ihe association met at
the Pewter Mug, and completed its organiza
tion by electing John Wilson Chairman, Wm.
N. Brown, John Orr add Robert Donnell Vice
Presidents, and James J Rik-y and George
Can field Secretaries. The following resolu
tions were unanimously adopted:

tinued and eminent services, the lofty personal
character, the distinguished ability and the

Pioneer Association of the city of New YoxV,
do hail his unanimous nomination by the Na
tional Democratic I envention al Cincinnati,
and us the candidate of their choice for the
Presidency of the United States, with profound
and sincere delight, and do indorse the same
with all onr hearts. And furthermore,
'Htiohed, That in the combined vote of
the TemociBtic delegations of the Stole of New
York in his behalf, we greet the return of that
union and harmony to our party which will
insure the triumph of our principles, and the
safety, stability and glory ol Ibis great nation; .

ces, we will use all honorable endeavors to
place our noble standard-bearer in the I'resi
cential choir on the 4th of March, 1857, and
pledge ourselves to unite hand in hand for the
accomplishment of such a glorious work."

ever since 1314. In lhat year he was in the
Slate Legislature, whers, he served two years,
and declined a re-election. In 1821 he took
his seat as Coi.gresSnian, and was in the House
