others are vauDted, and obviating every defect which
can be attributed to them by lt roost fastidious critic.
Tbe Empire Machine is a marvelotis combination of

TAKE THE PAPERS.
BY N . P. WILLIS.

Except about election time,
And L I rttd for spite

Why should you be afraid ?
For cash thus paid is money lent
At iaterest four-fould paid.
Go, then take tte papers,
And pay to-daj', nor pay delay,

You will live until you're gray.

A tree fell down and broke his crown,

JONES' CORNER. -
Jones has been among the spiritualists;
he Joined a circle the other niht, and
had manifestations. The medium was
a tall, thin, angular cadaverous individ
ual, who looked as if, after getting up
the frame, mture had been seized with
a fit of economy, and neglected to put in
the underpinning and plastering. The
circle was mixed, being made up of el
derly females, thim men, with a few
pretty girls. Jones seated himself be
tween two of the last, and all clasped
hands around a tahle. Jones Eay3 it
ias delightful. He squeezed .the little
hands, and when an unusually Joud knock
s arted the circle, the little hands" squeez

that his father don't believe him.wa? the
fi s. to ask questions.
"Where was I born ?" asked SnifF.
"In the poor house." Sniff's turn-up-nose
waxed red.
"Correct," said Jones.
. "How many children have we in fam
ily?" "Nine."
Here a dispute arose as to whether
the spirit rapped eight or nine. So Sniff
asked again :
"How many children have I ?"
'One," was the reply
"Probably correct again," remarked
Jones.
Here Mr. SnifTkins arose in a'wrath,
tapped his beaver on with a loud bang
:r;d retired.
"The circle is not hormonious," said
the medium, in a deep, sepulchral voicr.
Jones thought it was as he pressed the
little hands.
"Let me ask a question," said a vin
egary old lady.
Is the spirit of my husband present ?"
"He is "
"Are you happy, John, without me'"
'Very happy.,' .
"Where are yon ?"
"In h 1."
John's relict looked at ths medium.
The medium smiled. He. looked as i
he had the toothache. The circle laugh

lamp and hurled it at the medium. It
broke over his devoted head, and left the

ki.sad him. He tried to seize the spirit,
and caught one of the pretty girta about
the waist.whereupon there were scream?.
In the meantime Jcr.es was aware of a
furiou engagement cn his right. A
light was produced, when it was found
that John's relict had seizhd a veneralle

FOURTH OF JULY ORATION !
by "nus-ri-DO-fti
Feller Citizens ! This is the day
upon which the American hart sweels to
about twice its natural proportions, and
beats with twenty-seven times its usual
rapidity ; when a man's clothes are tco
small to hold hirn, and he wants no dra
pery but the Stars and Stripes, wtea he
would like to be able to foundle with cne
hand the evergreen curls cf Main, and
10 toss with the other the golden sands
of California, while he drank th9 health
of the Goddess of. Liberty out pf Lake
Erie, and laved his feet in the cooling
waters of the Gulf !
Feller-h-h Citizens! Upon this glo
rious day we recall the memorias of the
band cf patriotic and devoted heroes,
whose struggles through seven years of
bloody and relentless war gave us Amer
ican Independence. What, I ask, what
sustained them through those lengthen
ed years of darkness aad of blood ?
What enabled them to endure hunger
and co'.d, to make the most arduous aud
and stupendious marches, and to perform
prodigies of valor- upon the field with
which the wcrld rang, covering their
names, with glory tl rough all coming
time ? I answer,
"Roback's Stomach Bitters"
The stirring scenes of the mighty rev
olution are planted in vivid colors pefore
my eyes to day. The Tea Party in the
harbor of Boston. Was it the insignifi
cant duty which England sought to im
pose upon tea that moved those Boston
ians so violently that they pcured an en-
1 1 ship's cargo into Bjstou harbor? ' No
by no means." They. knew a better and
more healthful beverge. They said green
tea was good, but Roback's was letter J
Then', too, the battle of Binder's Hil',
fought regardless of 'he remonstrances
"f tlJ.JVIr. and. Mrs,. .Bunker, who own

that little band of raw and hastily-collect
ed rectui's to repnlse a greatly superior
force of Biitsh regulars, veterans from
the battle fields of Europe, thus winning
imperishable renown for the flag of the
infant Republic ?

When to Cat Wheat.
The usual practice among farmers is
to let wheat stand, before it ts cut, until
he straw is entirely changed from green
to yellow, and the grain has become hard
and nearly nr quite dry. Numerous ex
periments have been made iu this coun
;ry, but more particularly in England, to
determine at what period of ripening ii
is best to cut wheat, having in view the
greatest yield of grain and that of the
bast quahtj. It is well known to those
who have investigated the object, thai
tbe ripening of tbe sced3 cone's'.s entire
!y of certain chemical processes' which
we cannot here attempt to explain, thai
;tre of importance to be considered in or
der to make the most of the crop after it
has been grown. The immature grain
of wheat, in ius early stage, is found to
be filled with a milky fluid, which gra.l
u illy changes in consistence, from this
milky stale, to oae more firm aad solid.
These experiments have been institu
ted to-determine with accuracy at w&at
perioJ of this change the grain should be
harvested to secure the gratest advanta
ges. The unanimous opinion appears to
pet that if grain is cut seen after the
straw telow the head ha3 turned yellow,
while the lower part of stem is still
green, and the seed yet remains in a
s -ft and doughey state, the grain will
w igh more to the bushel and yield a
grater amount from a given space of
grcnad, that more and better flour is
made from it, and where the straw is to
be fed to stock it is rellished better end
is more nutritious than if the grain was
allowed to stand until it became fully
ripe.
These experiments have been so fre
quently made and with such uniform re
sults, that we feel unwilling to let the
coming harvest pass without reminding
our readers of the fact. A very careful
series cf experiments syefe made cf ihil

half of it, should not be lest sirjaf of by

Loiers In a Fix.
Night before last, as ths rr.ca r:re ct2?
the hill and treg-tops, giiiirg the ;ir'2.i
of our beautiful city with her sllrtr rays;
there might have been upoil thu
roof cf an Egyptian cottae which il
flat, and covered with pure whiia grav
els and pitch, a couple cf bverJ s:i:dJ,
Ci j)V,r twj'v c --cure' 3-
sun during the day Lai teen very'wa.v
nd thus they met to spend ths foetb
hmrscf twilight, enjoying the plsls
breeze that floated up from the magso-i
lia garden beneath. Seated nsar ezchj
other, the lovers sat; with cne am h3
encircled the waist cf the beautiful cre
tare at his side.
"Her little hand lay gently, e'eufl.
dingly in his and all passed quietly an4
loving untill the bell tolled the midnight
hour. . .
The telling on the bell reminded thert
that "Tired nature's sweet restorer, bal
my sleep," was requisite for bvers at
well as others. Still seated near each
other the plighted vows were again an4
again exchanged, aud sealed with kisssj,
like.
"Liken sweetness long drawn out."
At length, after many vain attempts ta
severe the; a pleasant pleasurei, the traa-i
sported "lovyers" found that they werq
bound to each other by mora sticking
bonds than lovers, vows. The hot sua had
melted the pitch, and after titling so lorj
and the night air having ccoled the res
inous matter, they found they were both,
"stuck fast." Tha young gentlemen firs;
attempted to disengage himself, -but
found, like aunt Jemima's plaster, thi
more you try to pull it off the tighter it
sticks the faster." The young lady theq
attempted to get up, which she did, rnp
nus the skirt of her.drSi3 and all her un
derclothes as far as the "tilters." Ia this
plight she tried U relieve her disconso
lated partner, but it was cf no use ha
couldn't come. After some parley, ha
came to the conclusion he would managa
it by slipping out of his pant3. Accor
dingly he asked of his companion if sb.3
could lend him a pair of pant until
coulJ go homo.. hji;- rV
would do if they were not tco long, with;
this information he slipped eff his boots
and loosing his suspenders, drew himself
out of his pants as easily as possible, and
the disconsolate couple took themselves
down stairs In a very blnshing manner,
and looking very much like our first fa j!
ents when they discovered that they were
human. The lady procured, a3 quietly
as possible, a pair cf her father's pan$,
which were run inio pretty quick, and
the A&jnh decamped, with his paat3
rolled up about six inches. The joke
was too cood to be kept ; bv little and
little it leaked cut, until the truth had tqr
come to exculpate the happy Innocents.

A friend in Raleigh sends us a copy
of the North Corlina Standard, frotr
which we clip the following conments;
on the ill-bestowed sympathy ia irjg
South for Jeff- Davis. It is the plainest
talk of the right sort which we have seenj
in any Southern paper sines the commen
cement of the Rebellion.
We observe that a good deal of sic!;y
sentimentality is being indulged over the
f .ct that Mr, Jefferson Dav.s was tempo?
ranly placed in irons, when he was im
prisoued last May at Fortress Monroe.
It is charged that Mr. Secretary Stantua
had this done, and he is denounced by
the secession press as haying committee;
a great outrage on the Southern people,
and against humanity, This is an indi
rect blow at the President, for Mr. Stan
ton represented the President ia that, a
in all otner matters.
It was hard for Mr. Davis u b ironed,
bit how many thousand cf pojr cnscroj
ptsdid he cause to be put in irons 1 toj
be shot? to ba tortured? to be hunted
like partridges in the gorges of the mou"
tain3 f to be torn from their weep1
wives and child em, while they were
forced into a war they abhered, and in
which success was known to be imposs?
ible ? God is just. Sin is punished everj
m this world. Many cf these conscripts
were better men morally than Mr. Divi?t
and their 'families, poor thou?h they
were, as dear to them as the family of
Mr. Davis wa3 to him. We never shal
forget the feeling of our Uma pecplj
in this city, whan for twelve long months
before the war closed, the daily spectacle;
oa our main street rr that cf marching
conscripts, with heads bowed, with iron
and ropes on their limbs, cn their way tq
Camp Holmes, and thence to deo.h cq
the battlefield or in hospital,
Our Union people were obliged taloo'4
on in silence. One word even cf cocdern?
nation would have brought the rope cr
the mob on them. Bji they are nar
free, and though under the tan cf the
State administration (which is really no
mere loyal than the Vance administration)
that aided in these things) they ran q
least say what they please. '
If we were anxious to se2 Mr. TJavisi
ejected, cr ifTe desired tQ add to hU
punishment, vre should rather encourage
than deprecate these manifestations 0?
sympathy in his behalf. Bji every eff
or to bring the government into disgrai'a
on hts account will only make his dear
more shure and terrible. -, Tho e whocf
dulge this sentimentality, ftv who; t
braiding the government whc-v.'; ts
his' account, are therefcrs reii,!-,
wcrt enemies.
