Not long nine®, on a.celtn moonlight -evening in eutumn, I was musing upon the different methods in which labor is j performed ; and, mostly, the difference fcetwern tho mothods oar grandparents osed, and those now in use. Kind reader, if you think by the title that a chapter of tjosclyr will follow, Jyon may turn the patre, nnd make room for those iu- 1 tc rested in facts. .If. about iho lime of the resolution- j wry war. and, perchance, a quarter of • w century later, you had culled at on© of i the large farmhouses, which were scat- j tered through Cope May at that time, -• 'Hhe angels Tisits, f\w and far between, | the first object on which you glance j would hase retted, would hare been < the spining wheel : which is ever and nnon tamed by- the mother, or oldest r daughters, while tho younger ones are preparing tho wool or knitting. If it i chance to be cscning, they will gather round the hearthstone, upon which is a * blazing fire of Inrge pine knots, gieing •light and- heat enough for a largo room. Take a peep into the store room, where yow 'will sco a quantity of dried and green fruits, largo bunches of herbs of rarious kinds, hanging from' overhead, and everything needed T or the coming J winter will there be foond. All arc busy -till "that ancient lime-piece from the hall?' chimes forth its nine strokes, when they retire, with innocence and peace as their companions. True they '* have toiled through tho day, but 'tis toil that will bring them sweeter sleep, and. touch their cheeks with brighter criraaon, as morning finds them vigorous and eager ns ever to pursue their vocation. How vastly different, thought I, j* this from the times in which wo live.. JVow, the spinning wheel is no longer kept, except as a sacred relic ol some dear, departed -one, and is rarely seen, while the music of the piano aud sew ing J machine is heard throughout the land. The children, instead or being taught to kail, are sent" to school as soon as they are old enough, and kept at their ] tuk, till they have reached 'the ago of j manhood. Scare one of the modern houses coaV tains a fireplace or storeroom, but stoves ( and a kitchen of sucBWlimensions 'twill hardly admjt of having the work in It. The floors, which were formerly scoured i bright with sand, are now covered with , a neat carpet. Who does not like the j modern houses, with the improvements, ; beat f I can say to you, reader, (confi- , dentially) I do, but should not have the I boldness so to speak before the grand- , mothers. Perhaps I weary the readers patience, and they would like to know the cause 1 of my mnslngs. 1 will tell yon. Only ^ a short lime since -I heard thai Mrs. { Betsy dandy, of Senville, who is in her , 81st year, spins a ponnd of yarn in a day, which is the quantity allotted- to a ' young person. Her husband, Mr. Thomas dandy jr.,] who is iu his SCth year, cuts half fl cord of w»od and puts < it np hi six honrs. Thiukiug it might intarest your readers, I send it to you. . • Their home was such as I have describ- , r oil; but disease and death, whp claims , us all, ?inote eight uf their child. en

wltb his icy band, ere thi-y had reached the age of manhood. They have a patriotic spirit, -and in the war of 1812 he-wri called to "Stand guard" on the Bay J Shore. Though his gun has become an- ' liquated, and his bayonet is rusting in ! its sheath, it was held in a band ever i rqady to strike for the preservation of j I the Constitution, against the faring and j i open foe ; and, were he ngmin yonng, i would be willing to strike against that j treacherous cneinv— The Tiuitows. Sallie a romance It was on a ■ lovely moonlit eve, in goldon-robed October, as we sat by onr open window, looking -out npon the - cheering prospect before ns: Lovely dark-eyed raaithms were continually tript ping by, and ever and anon a sly, half j i timid glance, or a gentle nod, would 6 j send to our soul the flattering onction c that we were not yet by them forgotten; soft notes of sweet music were borne to j our ears on the gentle evening breeze ; a j bottle of sparkling Champagne and a |( box of cigars were temptingly arrayed on the table at onr side ; and our life seemed but one continuous flowing stream of _ | happiness, pleasure, and delight. But f hork ! the door lending to our apart- ^ | mcut is softy opened, aud in our pres- | ence stands a mysterious looking stran- [ ger, holding in his right hand a enre-i ' | fully folded, but much worn and soiled, j ' | slip of paper. lfe advances ti/nrer | ! towards ni ; we tremble from broil to j L foot ; we feel pale os death ;• and iiow, ^ i just as we are about to sink back jnto 1 our chair in a state ol complete exhuitsJtion, our fondly cherished, dreams of earthly bliss are spoiled, by having rung ; in onr ears the ofuinous words — "Can ' yun mute il convenient to settle this Utile ' b ill to day 1" Leadbeatfu. ; 1 an eloquent appeal. f The following is from an. appcul to • Kenlm-kians, from the Louisville Jour- ' ual : s First, because he is a man, and the > natioij, needs him — because the one, world grasping question, which this I j struggle is to decide, is — Shall this mi - ' I lion die? Shall the .Government of our I j fathers — the best that man ever lived I. under, or heroes crer died for — full a - victim to the caprices of a rebellion in i I the first century of its existence. Secondly, because every eittxen owes 4 1 his life — his liberty — the better part of . , all lie it, and has, to bis country; and ' is in duty, honor, manhood, bound to , ■ give his life, if need be, in her just dep fun so. f I Thirdlv, because a single arm, if wielded well, has oficn saved a nation, and i may now save onrs. No one, however > humble he may be, out know what help his single hand may hold until he gives it. ° Qivs it, one and all ! Fourthly, Kentuckians, because Kentucky needs it most, needs it now — this > moment — while we write this word. Do yon hear it T Needs it 1 The watchword of Kentucky is "Defence !"'

Washington, shortly before his death, Senator Douglas!, remarked to a distinguished Kcntuckian whom he chanced , to meet nt Indianapolis, "I know yonr j , mnn Breckinridge better than you do > yourselves. Mark my words, sir ; icitht in a year from this time John C. Jlrect- j inridye will be a General in the rebel ar- j my!" The result shows bow thorough- ! oughly Mr. Douglas did know his for- ' tucr friend. The year has but half pass1 ed since the prediction was made, and ' to day Mr. Breckinridge holds s 'com-inis.-ion"oa Brigadier-Gen'l in the rebel army uud r Buckncr, at Bowling tirccit. i * It is some coniola'fon to know tliat, , while wn are compelled to submit to an , effectual blockade of the Potomac, -the railroad is enabled to meet so successfully the demand fur goods. There are now x complaints, even among, impatient murj chants, a< to despatch, and the cost of; . transport is not much above the edit of the freight by Urn tthr. \

I BoKM-Bnoes roa Ssow. — A correspoo- . . dent of lift .down con Ayrk-ulturist sag- | f getls that the bajling of snow on horses' j ( feet may be msterially lessened, bj- making the upper side of the shoes wide than the lower tide, so that the Inner vlge will be , 1 i beveling oatward. If constructed in this! 1 ! way, the balls of snow would more readily ■ fall out than if held by -square-tjileil shook • The suggestion is not a new one. At least 1 we have heard of it before, wo believe — j ! but it would seem to l»e valuable, and ' . | worthy tho attention of blacksmiths, or j | those who have horses to bo shod. At ! best, damp snow will pack into the shoe; j | but if the lower side of the opening be the | ' widest it will be more likely to drop out. { Keemko Sweet Potatoes — The Ay- j ' | ncuknritt, says: — "Sweet potatoes keep j i j through the winter, when covered in a j j dry samLhill, or other dry esrth beyond | - 1 the reach of frost. They may be put in I • i boxes of one bushel each, or spread In- • j to layers in the bottom of a pit, and i covered with dry earth. They should be | • carefully dog and handled previously, so ! ; as not to bruise them. For use during ! j early winter before opening the pit, pack | some in boxes of sand or dry earth and j keep in a dry place away from frost. In tho Uotnnn civil wars, Silo, the | Rebel General, after defeating Caepo, I endeavored to entice Marius, out of; his str< ng position and sent him word: ! j Marius, if ll|pu art a great General, j' ' come down und fight me.
