Rest here, at last,
The long way overimst —
Rest here at lioiuc; .
Thy race is run,
Thy dreary journey done,
Thy last peak clomb.
'Twixt birth and death
What days of hitter breath
Were thine, alas!
Thy soul had sight
To see by day, by night,
Strange phantoms pasj—
Thy restless heart
In no glad things had par'.
But dwelt alone,
And uight Htul day,
In the old weary way,
Made the old man moan.
Rut here is rest,
For weary brain and breast,
Deep rest, complete,
And nevermore,
Heart weary aa! foot sore,
Sh.ll stray thy feet—
Thy feet that went
Willi such long discontent
Their wonted beat
About thy room,
With its deep-seated gloom—
Or through the street.
Death gives tlieiu ease—
Death gives thy spirit peace—
Death lulls thee, quite—
One thing alone
Death leaves thee of thine own—
Thy starless night.

"IIOMK, SWEET HOME."

Cau be found a word mote sweet,

Learn so early to repeat.

To the queen upon her throat;
V l a i'"* l H'.'* r.".|iO' •**' ,r "
To the magic ;f. 'II ef home."
What sacred memories cluster around I
the name ot home ! What magic power ;
iis eoucoaled in that world ! How en
deared to tho soul by a thousand holy
and hallowed associations that time,
distance, nor even death itself can nev
er obliterate ' it matters nut though
tbe "home" be a rude but, or a cottage
in some far away desolate land, or a
stately mansion of finest granite in some
fair Eden, if earth n'hero thousands oi
feet daily tread and thousands of eyes
admire and adore—whether in Siberian
wastes of snow, or the burning sands of
Africa, yet in all this wide, wide world
bo it ever so bumble there is no place
like home.
"There is no swaetor spot than home
Upon this bleak and barren earth ;
There are no purer joys below
Than sparkle round the peaceful
hearth."
Though tbtce score years may have
passed away , though tho vast Atlantic,
or Pacific may roll between, though tho
scenes of yestorday may be forgotten,
yet to the venerable sire willi locks al
ready whitened for the tomb, but breathe
the nauie of' home, sweet home," and
0! tbe dim veil of time rises, uufolding
to view the beautiful and fadeless sconos
of childhood and youth in all their sur
passing loveliness and glory, llow the
dim ejes sparkle ! Then the voice re
ceives new strength, acd tho step bo
comes more firm and elastic, whilo the
sluggish current of lifo becomes accel
erated, bouuding with fresh s'rength
and vigor through every vein. The
rocks and atroams, tho meadow aud
wildwood, the playmates of earlier years,
tho old family bible, tho prayers and
counsel and lovo and tenderness and
blessings without number which were
lavished upon him in a childhood's
home, the innocent laugh aud shouts of
joy and songs of praisn which rang out
full and fieo upon tbe breeze ot Heaven
—how the picture looms up fresh and
joyful before the gazo of the venerable
old man, adding light and lustre to bis
declining yearn.
'•O carry me back to my childhood's
home,
Whore the ocean surges roar,
Where it* billow* dash on a rovkbounil I
coast.
And mourn forevermore."
Homo, sweet home ! Thou art tho
birthplace of the soul's purest and deep
est affeJtion emblem of the glory land
on high ; the remembrance of which is .
a chart and oompass to the weary voy

Home, sweet borne! Name over dear
to roe. No poet's pen nor painter's
brush can fully portray tho beauty
and loveliness. Thy name is engraved
upon the tablet of the heart as with a
diamond's point in tho rock of adamant!
Whilo I have a tongue to speak, a heart
to love or soul to save, let mo not for

and blessings of n father, mother, sister

A SIDE"QLIMPSE.
Qen. McClollan's book in defense of
his military record has provoked a great
deal of hostile criticism in tho North.
Wo have seen scarcely one kind or fa
vorably notice. And yet wo have no
doubt that McClellan has took a great
deal of truth as to the ba l treatment
ho received at the hands of Stanton,
' Hulled and Company. Ho wrissuspeo
ted aud chackuiated at every turn, and
did not have tho coufideryo of Chase,
Stanton,Welles, ard, pcrl.ij President
Lincoln. ' iVioUlollan doeTt'CS thui be
fought South Mountain Autioham
j (Sburpsburg) "with tho halter around
his neck," for he had no authority to
direct torces in tho field, but wes re
stricted iu his orders to the * command
of tho fortifications of W ellington, nod
of all tho troops for the defence of the
capital." This is true we have no
doubt."
And yet if ho had boe.i defeated at
South Mountain and at Sharp&burg he
would have boon in no greater danger
than to ho dismissed to which treatment
ho was afterwards subjected. Wo have
good reason for saying that but for
President Lincoln Gen.Mo lelian would
not have taken oommard and fought tho
battles referred to, Lincoln sent for
biui aud implored him with tears to
take command. McCloilan could not
resist tho appeal. Wo have taken that
upon evidence to bo the truth of tho
matter, but we do not know that it is
given m "MeClellau's Own Story."—

HARVESTING WILD HONEY.
A short time ago Jame.s Cousins and
S. P. McCrakeu were going through tho
woods near Utica, N. Y., whou they
were surprised to sco beos swarmin/r
about au old and very tall tree, near tho
top. Believing that tho tree contained
a great store ot wild honey the two men
set about scouring it. Two 2o foot
laddors were splioed together nnd run
up the tree, but they fe!M?5 feet short
of reaching tho spot. Cleols wero then
nailed ou the trunk of tbe tree fiom
t'.ie top of tho ladder to the hollow
plaoe. Standing on the top pair of
oleets ouo of the moo chopped a hole in
the tini.k A hollow place 10 foot feet
and 11 inches in diameter was found,
it was packed full of honey. Tbe mass
was takon out entire, without breaking
the immense comb, and lowered success
fully 'o tbe ground. There tvcio over
300 pounds of honey. After securing
tho honey tho beos wero hived, and will
lay up thoir next season's store in a
patent skip.
Tho Democratio party deplores the
I necessity of race conflict. It deplores
the action of Republicans in holding tho
nogro vote solidly together by such ig
uoblo means as they practice. It de
plores tho fact that the Republicans dc
pull so lard upon their cud of the "oolor
i line." It depbrcs all tins, hut it sees
; that their action forces Democrats to

PRIMING AND TOPPING TOBAC
CO.
| Under this head their is a wide diffor
j uneo of opinion. Breaking off thu Small ,
aud inferior leaves of the plaut near tho '
' ground is called "priming,'' which op- j
oration is done along with tho "topping," i
it done at all. Tlieru are advantages ,
| for and agaiust priming, b-it all resort'
to topping—pluming out tho yled bud j
and adjacent small leaves wit l/lhe thumb ;
' " llu CwU>Qu PW»-CV''!l- j
| ing off the lower leaves saps \he plants j
I and retards tho growth, if tho weather j
jis dry. That permitting the lower lcavs i
jto remain on the stalk protects the up- j
per ones from sand and grit mokes them ]
cleaner and therefore more sulable. I
Sand and grit are the terror of the to- j
baeeo buyer. Oo the other hand, it is I
oou tended by some that by pulling otl
j tho lower leaves, which are generally j
J useless, tho remaining leayes re
| ceivo more nutriment and contain more j
I wax. oil and turn, and that tho lower j
I leaves harbor worm? and uuke tho
i worming process more tedious,
i ll is best to wait until a uonsidora
j ble number of plants begin to button
for soed before oommencing to top.
j Topping should be the work of expori-
onccd and trusty bands—men who can |
; top, leaving, any required number ot !
j leaves on a plaat without couut ng.
j Tlie secret of this—uo l inger a secret ■
jto initiated—is, that the topper soou !
! loaros to know that counting the bottom
I leaf that bangs over it 10 tho third tier j
going upward, make nine leaves, inclu- j
i ding botb top and bottom leaves. Fix- ;
i:ig this in bis mind, the topper has on
ly to add to or deduot from this index |
leaf marking nine, to leave any desirefi
j number of leaves on each plant with I
, certainty and without counting. Young '
! man, if you don't know how, get some i
old uegro to show you. Topping, you!
j will find it is a slo* business ifyou have
jto count the leaves on all the plants '
I topped. If the plants arc not "primed,' !
;|i{p tho ' :af raiist lia fixed by
1 the eye, looking upward for the leaf in
| tbe ihird tier, which haogs over it, to
i catch the cue as before. If priiuiug is
| doue, don't ecr io pulling • ff too many
leaves. No regular rule cnu be given,
so the planter must judge for himself,
j i'ho reason given for waiting until
j many plants are ready to bo topped is
| mainly that more plants may ripen to.

pearanoa and prospective development |
of the plaut, tho season, whether propi- j
j tioua or unfavorable, strength of tho

seasons tbe first topping should bo from j
' ten to thirteen leaves - rarely more—
for brights. Fur sweet fillers from nine

This is an excellent advice, and wo trust j
it will be universa'ly followed Io
