There is to be this year a great Protestant
Ecumenical Council in New York city, some
thing that has been thought of for some time.
An ezehaii'se, alludiu to this meeting "of the
Christian churches, says: ; ' ' j '4 "
"In September there is to assemble at i New
York, from all parts of the world, and represent-
ijr, at jeasi Dy aancsion, every jnrisiian ue-
nomruation, ; without any exception but the Jo
man Catholic, a great convention for the discus
sion of questions respecting Christianity and tue
promotion of fellowship among the various sects
Some of the most distinguished .men of Chris
tendom will attend, with elaborate papers; to
read,' touching all the aspect of man s transcend
ing interests, in their connection with the times-1
It is expected that .more than, two thousand
delegates will be present. The programme has
all been farrangednd ; published:! the subjects
divide3 and specialized.' and each committed to
some individual of distinction therein, before the
world of literature and science. . They disclaim
all purpose of making the great Council of Rome
the objective poiut of this extensive movement.
They declare, and truly, that this assembly has
been the fruit of efforts gradually prevailing that
began many years before the Ilolyj Father signi
fied Ins ponttlicial will. Nevertheless, the con
trasc cannot fail to awaken an extraordinary
iuterest in both as constituting the great religi

and august scale, iu the persons, on both sides,

ifd with her -husband removed to JisilleV'
Time moved on, and Butler recovered, and
was arain sent to his ' regiment : butJ he could
hear uothiriz from his family." At the battle of
lleseca, Georgia! on the 15th of JMay, 1S64, he
was again severely wounded, and was captured,
and upon his recovery was sent to one of: the
camps for rebel prisoners ' north of f the Ohio,
where he remained until the close of the war.
Upon hi$ release from captivity he made every
effort to ascertain the, residence of his wife, ; not
knowing that she had married another. Uut
all his efforts were in j rain, tie could hear no
tidings of j her or his' child: and concluding they
were dead, he not Ions aro" married affain
Last week a party ! of citizens of Iouisville,1
crentlemcn and ladies, held a pic-nic atJ Newman's
Grove, below this city. Butler was cjne of i the
party. In ;the course of the day a
young
lady
of eighteen was frequently noticed byj
him to be
closely observing htm, and finally she
requested

the young gentieman;who accompam
go to him and: ask him his name and
came from.'. The'Totrng man did as
requested,
receivjnir an answer that his name was i Asher
Butler, that he was an ex-Confederjtte soldier,
and other particulars of his life. T,
sie answer
was communicated to the young lady
who with-
out further inquiry rushed into But
and covered his face with kisses; !

exclaimed,
"IWy father, my long lost father 1 Tfcank God,
I have found yon at last." And so jit proved,
for after nine : years of separation father and
daughter were thus unexpectedly brought to--
gether. ' ' " ''.. "" . ; .
The daughter said that as soon as she saw
Butler she had a strange prcsentitnen't that he

Mr, Edward A. Pollardja bitter rebel,; who
edited a Jeading paper in .-Richmond during the
war, published an address io his negro fellow'
citizens jf the south, giving them some reasons
why they should vote with the conservative
party, plr. JPollard, like V ade Hampton, com
prehended at an early moment how necessary
it was to! conciliate the negro vote, and in ; his
rirpsfint address he lavs thel matter nuite clearly
ana quite nattermgiy Deiote nis auuience. . jiu
niakes several new points, j lie claims that the
gratitudi of the freedincn fur; their, release, of
slavery should 'naturally' be; directed towards the
&uthern people who suffered by their euinuci
pation, rather than towards the Northern peo
ple, who gained by it. The Simihcrii people,
. 1 ,-... t 1 n . l . ' 1 IT -
he says, have lost two thousand million I uoltars
by your iemancipationl Would the North have
paid as much to set you free? ; If it would, why
did it not do so King before the war ? i. Other
arguments which he makes are new and strongs
For instance, he shows that j the negro is-rqot
! . i 'i i i .' - :J : t . .' r . i. x . t.
wantea among rne laoormg classes m w.unu,
and that! he is tabooed aniong the trtrdes ''uuions
while in the South he U the maijicpendence fur
labor. The question ot party does not encct
his rights, but he must not expect to .receive
favors friom Southern nicn whom he abuses while
comdany with his Northern friends. In
short, h4 wants the negro tj'sct his face against
Northert) agitators and to join heartily with bis
old mastpr. Th e .; Sout hern democracy ! should
have presented these arguments' to the negro
before. We fear they are too late with theui now.

I commenced niy essays with this question.
because, when I ufge'the superior advantages of
a rural ine.ti amoweu uiei- uy tuts uuju-nuu mat
niiminrd..n t ravJ lhat. if true, is a serious
matter. .Let. us consider.
: I do not understand lit to be! urged that the
farmer who owns a large fertile estate, well j
fenced, well stockid, with good store of effective
implements) cannot live and thrive by farming.
What is meant is, that he who has little but two
brown hands, to depand iupon cannot make money
or can'make very little by .farming.
' I think those who urge this rynnt have a very
inadequate conception of the d if5 col ry en coun
tered by every rioor yonng man in securing a
good start in life, too matter injwhat pursuit- I
came to New York when not quite of age, with
a good ."constitution, a fair common school edu
catioti, good health, good habits, and a pretty
fair trade; that -of printer, j I think my outfit
for a campaign against j adverse fortune was de
cidedly better . than, the average ; yet ten long
years elapsed before it j was settled that I could
remain here and , make any ,J decided headway.
Meantime, I dran c no liquors.! used 'no tobacco,
attended no balls or other expensive entertain
ments, worked hard and long, whenever I could
find work to do. htless than a month altogether
by sickness, and did very little in' the way help
ing others.,. , I judge i that quite as many did
worse than. I as, ilid better; iandcthat of the
yonng lawyers and "doctors . who try to establish
themselves in their professions, quite as many
earn less as earn paorej than their board during
the first ten years of their struggle.; ;
'John Jacob Antor, near the close of a long,
diligent, prosperous career, wherein he amassed
a large fortune, is said jto have remarked that, if
he was to begin life again and had to choose be
tween making his first thousand dollars, with
nothing to start on. or with 1 that thousand dol
lars making all hej had actnally accumulated, he
would deem the h tter the easiest task. Depend
on it, yonng men, it is and most be hard work
to earn honestly your first; thoosand dollars.
The burglar, the forger, the black-leg, (whether
he plays with" cards, with; dice or with ttocks)
may t seem ; to. have a quick and easy way of
making a thousand dollars j but whoever makes
that snm honestly, with nothing but bis own
capacities and energies as capital, docs a very
good five years work, and may deem himself for
tunate if he finishes it so soon:f
I nave known inen do Jbctter.ieven at farming.

I recollect one who, with no capital' but a'good
wife and four or five hundred dollars, bought
(near Boston) a farm of two hundred mainly '
rough acres for $2,500, and paid lor it out of Its 3
products within the next fire 'years, drinnt
which time he had nearly doubled its value. ' If
lost sight of him then but I have Tool a doubt
that, if h lived fifteen years longer and had no
very bad luck, he was worth, as the net 'result
of twenty' years effort, at least one' hundred1
thousand dollars." But this man would rise it
4 o'clock of a winter morning,; harness his pn,
of horses and hitch them to his large4 marked
wagon (loaded over night); drive ten miles into.
Boston, unload and load back again, be homo'at
fair breakfast-time, and,1 hastily swallowing his
meal, be fresh as a daisy for his day's work, !n'
which he would lead his hired men, keeping!
them clear ofthe least danger of tilling asleep. ;
Such men are rare, but they still exist, proving
scarcely anything' impossible to an T indomitable"
will. I would not advise any to work so unrncr-' -cifully,
I seek only to enforce the truth, thtl
great achievements are within the reach of who-'
ever will pay their price. ' '-';

I vcirs ago, a large -"gtaxing farm -in 'Northern
Verniout,7coniting of some 150 acres, and cost1
ing htm bont 83,000. - lie had a small ttock of
cattle, which was alfKirland would carry ; botf
he resolved to increase that stock by at least ten:
per cent, per annum, and to so improve his land,' -by
cultivation, 1 fertilizing, cloverfeta,' thai it
would anrply carry that luorease. Iineen years'
later, he cold but farm and stock fur- $15.000, .
and migrated to the west. I did not understand
that he was a' specially hard worker, but only a
good manager, who kept his eyes wide open, let, "
nothing go to waste, and steadily devoted his
energies and means to the improvement of his1
stock and his farm. .; ? ' ;'
Walking one day over the farm ofthe late'
Professor Ma pes, he showed ine a field of rather'
less than ten acres,' and Said i.'1"'! bought" that
field fur twenty four hundred dollars a year ego
last September.' There was then a light crop of
corn on it, which the seller reserved and took
away.1 I underdrained the field that fall, plowed
and subsoiled it, fertilized it liberally. And plant-'
ed it with cabbage ; and when these matured, I
sold them for enough to pay for land, labor and
fertilizers altogether.' The field was now worth1
far more than when he bought It, and hehad
cleared it within fifteen months from the date
of its purchase. I consider that a pood opera-1
tion. - Another year the crop njighfhave been'
poor, or might have '.sold much lower, 'so as'
hardly to pay for the labor ; but there are risltV
in other pursuits as well as iu farming. ' "
A fruit farmer on the Hudson above New
burg, showed . me, three years since, a field of
eight or ten acres which he had nicely set with
grapes, in rows , ten feet apart, with beds ' of
strawberries between the rows, from which he'
assured me that bis sales exceeded seven hun
dred dollars per acre. I presume his outlay for
labor, including picking, was less -than threo
hundred dollars per acre, but it cost sotnothing
to make this. field what it then whs. Saythif
he had spent no thousand dollars in under-'
draining, enriching and tilling this field,' to bring
it to this . condition, including the cost of his
plants, and still there must have been a clear
profit .here of at least three hundred dollars per
acre- ' . -. .;-: -?"(;""
I might multiply illustrations, but let lh
foregoing suffice. I readily admit that shiftless
farming don't pay that poor crops'doo't psy
that it is hard work to make money by furmiog
without some capital that frost, or hail, or;
drought, or floods, or insects, may blast the far-
mer's hopes', after he has done bis best to deerve
and achieve success ; but I insist that, as a gon-
eral proposit ion, good farming does poy lbar
few pursuits afford as good a prospect, as full to
assurance, of persistent effort,, as this docs.

. Salt for Cabbage. A New Jersey fartnet '
considers salt necessary to the development of.
cabbage, especially in places far from the coast,'
tie finds them more crisp, of a better flavor, and
to keep better when salt is used than without
He lused it as follows : i ,: : t
- A few days after setting out the plants, and
when they are damp, either after rain or when'
the dew is on, I take a small dish of fine salt'
and walking among the rows, sprinkling a little
patch of salt on the centre of each plant. ' When
the leaves begin to grow I repeat the salting,'
and when the centre of the leaves begin to form
the head I apply salt again, scattering it over the
leaves ; after this I look them occasionally, aod
if I find plants that do not head well and appear;
diseased,' I sprinkle the salt over freely; this
will save all such plants. ' A quart of salt is
sufficient for five hundred plants in a season,
although more can be used with safety. ' '
