CJIOICE MISCELLANY
SPRING CAROL.
BY i-MILY UJCWITT BUttBEE.
Come forth, come forth
To the toeming.hills—
To the budding vales—
To the laughing rills
In the forest, the song of the early bird,
And the chirp of .the merry younc grouse is
... heard,
And the fragrance of opening leaves and
flowers,
Leads us on to the fresh spring bowers—
re he a
Fair spring bowers!
Where we'll long to hie in the sumnie
hours.
Come forth, come forth
To the sunny plain,
Where the violet grew
In the April rain
The shade of the oak grows plump with
leaves,
And the fields are green with the future
sheaves
Th herds gaze down with a peaceful air,
»f brook are still and
Clear and fair!
And the blue Forget-me-not grows there.
Come forth, come forth
From the streetect town,
Where naught but care
Runs up and down
Where the world whirls on with a rushing
strife,
Hiding the beauties and calms of life
Come to the valleys, come to the hills,
Where dance the sunbeams, where laugh
the rills
Sing the rills
Remember Life's joys, and forget its ills.
—Pioneer and Democrat.
"NOTHING BUT LEAVES."
Nothing but leaves the Spirit grieves
Over a wasted life
Sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made but never kept,
Hatred, battle, and strife
Nothing but leaves!
Nothing but leaves no garnered sheaves,
Of life's fair, ripened grain
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds
We sow our seeds—lo tares and weeds
We reap with toil and pain
Nothing but leaves
Nothing but leaves memory weaves
No veil to screen the past
As we retrace our weary way,
Counting each lost and mis-spent day,
We find sadly at last,
Nothing but leaves!
And shall we meet the Master so,
Hearing our withered leaves
The Saviour looks for perfect fruit—
We stand before Him humble, mute
Waiting the word fie breathes—
"Nothing but leaves."

Not in the legions
Of horrid hell, can come, a devil more damn'd
In. evils to top Macbeth."
William H. Seward is to be thepounds
next republican candidate ior the pres
idency of the Union. He has an ambi
tion as inordinate as that of Julius
Caesar, and a genius as subtle as Be-agreeable
din's with a h'rvt scarcely less vil
lainous. He differs from Richard III.
in not being a co«»iete«?murderer, and
resembles that worthy usurper in
theto
baseness of his schenes against his
country, no less than ia tbe hump that
he carries on his shoulders, wor
ships the god or Discord, and kneels
only at the shrine of self-exaltation.—
His sardonic and careworn features,
his snaky eye, and his crooked and
deformed body, give but faint indica
tions of his tortuous and hideous de
signs. He is a slimy villian—the black
hearted leader of the hordes of disu
nion. If he had the power, he
wo'dof
like Malcolm
"Pour the sweet milk ol concord into hell,
Uproar the universal peace and confound
All unity on earth."
He has expressed the most deadly
hatred towards our Southern brethren
and their institutions. He has declar
ed that perpetual hostilities shall exist
between the two sections of the coun
try uutil one shall have conquered the
other. He has said that slavery shall
either be established in the North or
free labor in the South. This is his
platform. A the commander of the
Abolition forces, he will, of course,
wage relentless war on the Southern
people. They will resent it. Ill blood
will be brued. Ten thousand abolition
lecturers, whining preachers of politics
and he women, will enlarge upon and
lie about the wrougs of the "poor"
slave. Some of our tender-hearted
and soft-headed Democrats will aban
on their colors, and join the Black Re
publicans, where they can mingle in
tears and groans with old women,
Know-Nothings, niggers and kindred
spirits.
Eye of newt, and toe of frog.
Wool of bat, and tongne of dog,
Add&r's fork and blii«d nrerm'a sting,
Lizzard's leg, and onrlet's wing."
Seward will be sleeted President.
A black disunion Congress, will be
chosen and convened. A southern
territory will apply for admission, with
a slave constitution. The Blacks will
not admit it. If they-did the Presi
dent would veto the bill, because eith
er freedom or slavery must be univer
sal according to his theory. The
South will withdraw from the Union
with a people who will not allow them
to regulate their own affairs accord
ing to the Constitution of the country,
and form a confederacy of their own.
Seward will try tobring them back by
the use of the federal armies. They
will resist to the death and fight like
wild cats and devils. They will all be
killed off in defense of their children
and household gods. But Seward will
triumph. will abolish slavery,
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and the laws of his country,
and lord it over the asses he has dup
ed. And this is the way freedom will
be established.
His next and last step will be to
marry his oldest son now a promising
scoundrel of eighteen, to the Princess
Dinah Crow, daughter to his late roy
al highness Souloque, Emperor of all
the Haytis, and establish them as king
and queen of the realms of cottondom,
which will be composed of the South
ern Statess, and be inhabited by tree
niggers and Connecticut clock ped
dlars.
About this time some Jack Ketch
will take pity on the human race, and
Seward will be shot. Then may thenear
the patriot exclaim, in the language
of the poet,
"O my country~how she bleeds
Yours, truly, PEMBINA.
HATING GUANO.
The varied appetite and taste of
man have brought out many dishes
which other generations have Rtrictly
forbidden, and although rats, and mice,
and snakes, and frogs have, in many
places, come into popular favor, we
were not prepared for the announce
ment that Peruvian guano must soon
become an edible luxury. Stranger
things have, however, happened, and
for the benefit of those who may wish
to enjoy this new and healthy strength
ening dish, we will give the method of
preparing it, reminding them at the
same time that the process has been
patented in England, by a Mr. Wm.
the inventor of the process, and
discoverer of its uses, as here set forth.
Put two and a half pounds of guano,
of the Isles of Peru,t with three quarts
of water in an enameled stew-pan, boil
it for three or four hours, then let it
cool after standing some time, sepa
rate the clear liquid, and about a quart
of this healthy extract is obtained.—
Now, it is proved by the opinion of
learned men, that the more aliments
are azotised,the more they are strength
ened, and hence the inventor infers,
that as guano is composed of matters
the most so, it is, and must be, pecu
liarly adapted for all classes of socie
and especially for those wh« have
much exertion and have not the means
I'Tjn ui»w 5
of buying meat. Mr.'Clark sets forth,
in his specification, that two or three
table-spoons full offolds''extract distrib
uted in the food of)©tt* who live* on
vegetables, is equal to 1 at -least two
of .meat*-.and. would, give him
as much strength: as good meat in dis
cretion, with the advantage that, tfns
extract gives to the vegetables a very
taste! Of course to$ much
should not be used, orit wlHVe.'as'! re?
pugnant as pepper, dr^Virtegar, bub if Hffip&P'Marshall, -are at least gifted
used with proper discretion, it-ia'"'said
be remarkably strengthening.
By its use, too, certain.maladies
sometimes almost incurable, are said
to be easily removed, aJld phthisic, pa
ralysis, etc., are prevented, by the use
of a small portion daily. There are
other marvelous properties in this new
extract which we must now mention.
Every one knows that good tools are
the soul of industry, and that tney
must be produced before great manu
facturing wealth can exist. The art
working steel,in ancient times was
in such high perfection that they were
able to give this metal the softness and
pliancy of silk, and the excellence of
Damascus blade which no nation has
since been able to more than imitate.
Their method of manufacture has
been lost, and all efforts of modern
times have proved futile in its resusci
tation. Mr. Clark, however, the dis
coverer of this extract, claims, without
fear of being con radicted, that he hasprofuse
reproduced this secret lost for centu
ries.
His extract of guano hardens iron,
and gives it the properties-of steel
while to steel it gives-the fineness,
sharpness and softness of the Damas
cus manufacture. This, too, is the
formula, which is very simple. Tem
per the steel aud iron in the extract, of
guano, at eight degrees of strength, as
indicated by Baume, and it will pro
duce these marvelous results. The
more they are tempered anew the bet
ter they become, qualities contrary to
the ordinary tempering. W have
here presented some of the ideas given
in the specifications, of Mr. Clark's im
provements, though we have not been
minute, as we shall refijr to it again.—

THE OD FORCE.
This is the name given by Professor
Reichenbach, of Germany, to "an ex-'
tremely subtile fluid, emitted from the
magnet," & and which Judge Ed
monds, of this city—and other spiritu
alists, we suppose—bold to be an agent
for communication between spirits and
persons in the body." Judge Ed
monds says: I have myself beheld
it issuing from both ends 0f*a magnet,
and forcing itself out like a pale, sha
dowy smoke from under its armature.
I have also seen it issue from tho hu
man head and fingers. On one occa
sion I saw it so plainly that, in a dark
room, I saw my own hand in the light
which issued from the head of the per
son who stood at my side." By giv
ing old things new names, the ignorant
may be puzzled aud the weak-minded
muddled. This, we think, has been
done by Reichenbach in substituting
term od force" for electrical cur
rent," which is nothing less, we are
confident, than the pale shadowy
smoke which Judge Edmonds beheld.
There are currents of electricity con
tinually flowing through aud around
almost all bodies—metallic, vegetable
and animal—and the human body is
highly eleotric. A electrio current
flowing from the human body can bewas
made visible in any moderately dark
room in which machinery is driven by
a broad leather band, moving at a high
velocity. In such a situation, if the
forefinger is held up under the belt,
to the surface, a stream of light,
like the electric brush, will be seen
flowing upwards from it towards the
belt. This is the od force" of the
German sage—the old electric current
of scientific men, who make no preten
sions to new discoveries from old
things by giving them odd names.—

WHAT OUR FINU FRUITS HAVE
SPRUNG FROM.
The peach, originally, was a poi
sonous almond. Its flesh parts were
then used to poison arrows, and it was
for this purpose introduced into Per
sia. The transplanting and cultiva
tion, however, not only removed its
poisonous qualities, but produced the
delicious fruit we now enjoy.
The nectarine and apricot are natu
rally hybridations between the peach
aud plum.
The cherry was originally a berry
like truit, and cultivation has given
each berry a separate stem, and im
proved its quality.
The common muzzard is the origi
nal of most of the present kinds of
cherries.
The common wild pear is even in
ferior to the choke pear, and still, by
cultivation, it has come to rank among
our finest fruit. _.-
The cabbage originally came from
Germany, and is nothing more than
oommon sea kale. Its cultivation has
produced the present cabbage, and its
different acclamations "the. different
kinds while its hybridations with
other similar plants have produced
the cauliflower.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF IA W
IN A WESTERN JUSTICE COURT.
Ilia. EDITOR:—The administration
of law and justice in this great and
glorious country, especially in. those
"higher tribundk" yclept Justice
Courts, is ofteii entrusted to men, who,
if not possessed of the legal lore of a
with originality in the manner of keep
ing their records and." entering up"
the causes heard and determined be
fore them. A collection of their
Docket Entries would furnish a vol
ume of forms and precedents, that
would undoubtedly, werewthey to bebody
generally adopted, soon place Whh
taker on the top shelf of every law
yer's library, as a book no longer of
any use.
It was once my good fortune to at
tend a trial had before one of these
originals. A brief description of thepile
personel cf the Court may not be
al-teeth
together uninteresting. In stature, he
was about five feet four inches high,
and four feet five inches in circumfer
ence,—his head and face, with their
hirsute ornaments, suggested
the idea of a backwood knot, orna
mented with the usual fly brush car
ried by animals of the genus bovine*
His face, or rather all that could be
seen of it, had about as much express
ion as a pan of dish water. en
able him clearly to distinguish' the
legal "pints" the summit of his cra
nium was ornamented with, a pair of
large round eyed, steel bowed specta
cles kept in their place by means of a
tow string passing around the afore
said cranium. His person was clothed
in red flannel shirt and grey kersey
mere pants, terminating in a pair of No
1(}4 cowhide boots, between which,and
the bottoms of his inexpressibles there
seemed, judging from appearances, to
have been a difficulty of long stand
ing. Add to this that he chewed an
immense amount of plug," and spit
profusely, and you have a picture of
his Honor. I will not attempt to de-pitch
tail the proceedings at the trial, but
merely give a literal copy (barring
names) of his docket entry in the case,
for the genuineness of which, vide the

RICHAR O E
bered that on the 28th day of Novem

clame for damage on a mair, which
sayd John Do bot of said Richard
Roe, which he baut for A saund Beast,
whereas she proved onsaund. Partys
appeared—cort cauled before ten
o'clock—the defendant sayd he want
in in cort, which was a lie he wasand
hear all the time—then the next move
for remoaving it befoar some
other justice, but befoar that was got
along with it was discovered that the
constable hadn't maid his return of
sarvice. this.was.by the defendant's
attorneys—then no moar was sayd
about moving the suit, but they un
dertook to have a breakdown on ac
count of the constable's not having
his naim to his return of sarvis—that
didn't have any affect—tharfor they
giv it up, and evidens was sworn—-it
was proved that the mair in contem
plation was Very unsound—had
spavin on each hind leg, and a calis
on the fore leg and had the heaves—
and one hip had bin injured some way
and she had A stiff neck on account
of her having the pole evil—and fur
thermore it was proved that if said
mair was sound she would be worth
one hundred dollars—one of the evi

SPILIN» FOR A FIGHT.
The following from the Cairo Gaz
ette will be understood and appreciated
by any!\^he. inat has. ever spent an
hour in the place:
Whoop I'm just naturally spilin'
for a fight!" Screamed a somewhat
tossicated individual in front of Spring
field block, the bt^her'^iigbL. l!m the
best man that ever wore liar! .. ..Tm a
steam engine, fired up, with my safety
valve tied down, 190 pouri'ds of steam
and bound to bust, unless I kin .work
it off lickin* some of these Illinois
suckers! I shall die I know I shall, if
I cant find somebody to fight me.—
Dare any man that ever wore breech
es to lend me a dollar!, Wonlt some
here just please to call me a liar?
Notwithstanding this .polite and .un
common request, urged with so much
pathos and sincerity, the gentleman
made no impression on the minds of
our citizens, and found no one willing
to make th'e required assertion. Next
morning we saw the youth sitting on a
of lumber by the river, both eyes
bunged up, nose, flattened, half hie
knocked out of his head and his
coat torn into shreds. Upo* kindly
inquiring after his health, and liking to
Cairo, he remarked, "Stranger, I like
Cairo first rate, it is a lively place and
has the best society in it I've met with
since I left home!
MORAL SUASION ON A RAM.
When a friend of ours, whom we'
call Agricola, was a boy, Tie lived on a
farm in Berkshire county, the owner
of which was troubled by a dog Wolf.
Th cur killed his sheep, knowing,
perhaps, that he was conscientiously
opposed to capital punishment, and he
could devise no means to prevent it.
'Mean.break him of it," said Agri
cola, "i you will give me leave."
Thou art permitted," said the honest
fanner and we will let Agricola tell
the story in his own words. Thero
was a ram on the farm," said Agrico
la,"as notorious. for butting as Wolf
was for sheep stealing and who stood
in as much need of moral suasion as
the dog. I shut Wolf up in the barn
with this old fellow, and the conse
quence was that the dog never looked
a sheep in the face again. The ram
broke every bone in his body literally.
Wondertully uplifted was the rant
aforesaid, by his exploit his insolence
became intolerable he was sure to
into whomsoever went nigh him.
I'll fix him," said I, and so I did. I
rigged an iron crowbar out of a hole
in the barn, point foremost, and hung
an old hat on the end of it. you oan't
always tell, when you see a hat, wheth
er there is ahead in it or not how then
should a ram? Aries made at it full butt,
and being a good marksman from long
practice, the bar broke in between his
horns, and came out under his tail.
This little admonition effectually cured
him of butting."
FORGING PENSION WARRANTS.
In Philadelphia on tbe 6th, Judge
Vondersmith was sentenced to twenty
year's imprisonment, and to pay a fine
of 95,000 for forging pension warrants.
Tho Philadelphia Inquirer of the 6th
says:
This has been an extraordinary ease
involved the heaviest forgeries
ever perpetrated in this country. In
their effect thoy reached back to. the
days of the American revolution, and
from that period to the present time,
generations upon generations have
been fabricated, and heirs set forward
as legitimate who never had an exist
ence. carry out this scheme and
to impose upon the pension office, re
quired forgeries of the most extended
character. meet the requirements
of the law, and the safe-guards thrown
around the pension system, it was
neccessary to use the signatures of
Judges, and for this purpose Mr. Von
dersmith did not hesitate to forge the
names of those who were associated
with him upon the bench. Clerks of
the Court, Aldermen, Justices of the
Peace, and the name of almost every
officer known to the civil law, was bro't
into requisition, to fully carry out his
system of forgeries. The sums thus
obtained amounted to about $50,000,
and to reach it, about six hundred
names were forged. The time during
which these forgeries were consum
mated, was a period of several years,
and apart of it was ocoupied by Mr.
Vondersmith in posts honor, profit,
and position, which required men of in
tegrity.
There were no expressions of poig
nant grief and pain visible upon the
at the time sentence was
but the calm, stolid fea
tures, the fixed sternest of the eye, the
firm compression of the lip, the palid
ness that passed over the countenance,,
and the working of the muscles of the
face, told that a commotion was rag
ing within his breast. The Court
seemed sensibly to feel its responsibili
ty,but With unflinching firmness passed
the sentenee.:

of women into the most fashionable
circles.
