I f"el that age hns overtak'n
My steps on life's descending way,
tut time has left no lingering pain,
No shadow of an evil day ;
And yon. my children, gather near
To 'smooth" and solace my decline,
And I have hope that your career
Will be as blest as mine,
Not till exempt has been my rky
From threatening storm and low'ring clouds,
Hut sunbursts shed from source on high
Havo cheered my spirit when it bowed.
Not nil without tho shard and thorn
Has been my path from first tn last,
But springs of flowers. or Jleicy born,
He soothed me r.t I pushed.
And now my mind, nil clear end cool
As I serenely talk and muso
Is tranquil as yon g'f.sy pool.
Reflecting autumn's sunset hues.
Time but not dulled my moral sei so.
Nor has it dimmed my mental sihi;
Vo pnions wenken my defense,
Nd doubt." and cores nJright.

Will lend me through past trouJcn ways.
Ah I remember why f.-rg-u ?
Tiie magic of my early dnv;
All nature so divinely wrought.
The unraveled mystery of things,
Awoke me to exulted thought,
And lent my spirit w ir.gs.
And I remember how 1 crew

Set tin ia at a fair price. The horse owner,
liowetcr, was not disposed to believe my
statement, ami so passed hhu, by. wit Ii the
resolve that, if nolliin better turned t;p, 1
would give hint another call u'nler a more
advantageous appearance. As Ihe ueeoiid
iatt.iLee uKiuled to was similiir to the first,
it i:iay be passed over without further no
tice. iiut nut of this same cause grew it very re
tnitikuble till venture, which it is my present
purpose, to relate.
A lii'.e passing bet ecu "wo seti'.v,'ineii'.i
over a lonely, gloomy horse -pulli, leadir.y;
lhrouo;li a darli iieiiilock vu,-l, and while in
Ihe most solitary jiait, there s'jddeiily came
before me, leaping frotii a thicket on the.
right ji hiiinmi limine of a most ttartlinpf ap
pearance. It was a limn of medium height,
but of a stout powerful frame, all covered
with i'.irj bilters, that he appeared to have
wor.t and wailowe-vl in four jeans. Ho had
no covering fur his bead or feet, and hii
skin was m ipioted w ith (.'rime that it was
tlitlicuil at u til st look to tell whether ho
belonged to the race or not. Hi face, hili
up on his cheeks, waa coered with a dirty
brown beard, and his matted hair hung in
w ild profusion all around his head, except a
little .-.pace before his swollen, blood shot
eyes, and altogether he looked like a mad
man or human devil. Ills bands, held and
swuii a formidable club, and his attitude,
as he leaped into the road before me, wus
one of lierce menace and ileliauee.
I stopped in alarm, nnd, while fix in"; my
eyes sharply iiimu his, ipiielly slid my hand
into a convenient pocket und oraspeil the
but of one of my revolt era, firmly determin
ed to keep him at the short dUtitnce that
divided us, or kill him if he advanced.
For perhaps a half a minute wc stood bi

and then rest ing i n one end of his club on
the ground, ttnY partly leaning lorwaul on

himself.
"I think bo might do." Then njnomcnt
after he said to me, "I sny old fellow, bow 'd

"How Mould I like to cat when hungry ?"
I answered, thinking it not unlikely that
the scoundrel had some dark projoct in
view which by seeming to chime in with him,
1 miht discover.

down his club, cs if to Insure nie of hii

I which wits ns follows:
j lie knew the country well for mile tround
I and the exact po.'iti m and condition of
' every se'.tlcr. (ino mr.ti livinr; in rather a
' lonely quarter, about live miles distant, was
I a fpeeulalor in horses find cattle, " hic'n he
siiiiietitnes brought up and drove to a dis
I tant market, lit had a good di al of money,
I he:h it was supposed he kept secreted in
' his dwelling: cud to trei ir!.-es-.!i"i (if this
moiiey v.r.i of course the ol-iect in view.
! The trouble was, that the man himself
! a brave determined fellow who s-.hvr,ys went
' well tinned, also hail, besides hii wife two
I grown up sons and a daughter, which was a
force too great for any one individual lo en
j counter. About u mile therefrom lived a
! poor widow wlio had nothing worth e'.cal-
ing except her clothes, which would be val
uable for carrying out our pin n. This ph-.n
was to rob tha w idow fir.-t of her clothimr,
j dress me up in them, nnd htive mo reek

I the night, v. hen all the family should bo

I concluding scene.
! I secretly shuddered nt the atrocity of
I the contemplated crime, but appeared to
j receive the disclosure with the business uir
I of the mo.-t hardened w retch, inquiring ns
to the amount of money we should tints
I probably obtain, and objecting to nothing
I but great risk we should have to run, both
', Itfore and utter the accomplishment of our
1 purpose. I permitted my eager companion
to gradually quitt my fears, and t;t 1 nt con
sented to act.
I When everything had thus heroine set
j lied, we struck oil' into tin Held-, to avoid
1 being seen, ami just before dark came in
I sight of the widow's house. As my com-
paniou was acquainted with the permises, I
. in-istcd that he .Itoiihl procure the fi-mule
'. onrnionts but solemnly warned him that il
he harmed the poor woman iu the hast I
! would have nothing fuithcr to do withthe

1 the story 1 was to till, how I would man
age matters, and lilt? sttiit'.e that would r,s

went forward together. Went forward to

, be robbed, when I made niy nearest way to
! the road, and continued on alone, reaching
the dwelling about an hour after dark and
' jn.-t as the "family were about concluding
their evening men'.
Ibul any design been really what I had
led my villainous companion to believe, I
' certainly would not have gone forward with
'such conlidmt boldness; but feeling my
conscience all right and knotting I was act
ing upon a good motive, 1 kept up wonder
ful insurance, (eeling curious to See how
well I could play my part, nnd to what c.
1 tent 1 could tarry the tkciplion.
! I asked for my lodging for the night, and
something to eat, and ww kindly and hosj
i pilably received. The tirst thing that sent
the blush of shame ami confusion to my
cheeks, w as the coming forw ard of a joung
j lady about eighteen, beautiful ns an houii,
: and in u -sweet gentle tone asking me, if
1 had walked far, if 1 was much fatigued,

soon be refreshed with a hot cup of tea.
, This was a little loo uiuch for my iquaniini

' but I waa then a young man, r.umuiticd,

a wild yell he cleared their united grasps

tho woods and disappeared, and wo reluc

alarmed. Of course an explanation follow
edthe host being disappointed in making
the capture, as bo intended, without exci

The next morning wc went out to the

The following method of successfully
treating that painful disease neuralgia is
from the Dublin Medical Press :
As a eorroilary to his remarks on the elli
cacy of tincture of iodine for the treatment
of neuraligia, Mr. lSotichct add need several
cases troni which it appears that when the
remedy iu its purest state has proveel una
vailing, the pain sometimes yields in a re
markable manner when a certain amount of
morphia has Lcen added to the tincture.
Iu this instance the application is not mere
ly counter irritant ; -indeed in this respect
llie fluid would seem to have lost some ot
ils power; its edicacy is chiefly due to the
presence of the sedative, the introduction of
w hich beneath the epidermis is fucilitatecd
by the tincture of iodine.
Whatever explanation may be olTered of
the lU'ccm of this mode of treatment, its
benelicial operation is an unquestionable
fact, deserving of every attention. Tims,
we noticed i u M. Kotichei's wards a little
girl, who, while recovering from typhoid,
became eil'ected with neiirulgiil of the fore
head an. I temple; June tincture of iodine
f illed in relic-vims the pain. M. Douchit
ordered the brow to be painted over three
times a day w it 11 a solution of half a drachm
of sulphate of morphia in a half an ounce of
tincture ot iodine, and a cure was cit'cctcd
it: tho course of three days. The Professor
adopted the same course of treatment in the
case of a ludy,ngcd, lil'fy two, auU'ering from
ititc I'capulur neuralgia, symptomatic of
chronic pulmonary disease. Morning and
owning the sedative tincture was applied
to these regions, and on the second day
amendment set in, and the neuralgia was
altogether removed on the tomtit day.

A GRIC ULURAL.
The .Minor Iitnurrn.
Mr. T.orioit. Some time ago I gave yon
an article on the subject of inakiug and sav
in) the principal manures about the farm ;
and I now propose to oiler a few hirrfs on
the same subject with reference to minor
manures, hoping they miry have a good
effect in husbaudiug every description of
fertilizer.
1Ikn Manciik. . This 5s a most valua
ble article, and possesses a valuo almost
equal to Unit of the best guano, even when
mixed with half its bulk of garden mould.
Hy mixing tho excrement of hens with muck,
or well decomposed peat, and saturating tho
whole with m ine, or diluted sulphuric acid,
a compound of great energy will bo found,
and which, when applied to the purposes of
vegetable crnit-hnicut in the ordinary way,
will insure the best nnd most salutary results
on any crop.
Ooe'si; De.rr.. itlhoiiLiii possessing, in its
crude state, qualities highly uncongenial aud
even deleterious to plants, is licvertlHeioj
eudtied with principles which render it ca
pable of being transformed to a good and
salutary manure. To secure this result, it
may be thrown ittlo a beat, lifter being pre
viously saturated with water in which suit
has been dissolved, and mixing it with line)
caustic lime, gypsum and wood ashc, onu
bushel of three last ingredients, in eqtiul
proportions, to six bushels of the excrement.
The compoet should be allowed to remain
six weeks undisturbed, before being used,
und then applied in ihe same manner as
guano and poudrette. For Indian corn.it
does well in tin; hill, but for grain end grass
crops, it should be broadcasted. Twenty
bushels to the acre, will be found a liberal
application lor well-set Mvard land, or land
under wheat, outs or rye. When used as it
garden manure, it should be sown bioadcast
and worked in by the rake. There are very
few roots which do not receive great beuelit
from this application.
Piokon Kt itKMi-.NT: This, like the ex
crement of the he'!, to which it is- atronglv
assimilated, is another valuable fertilizer. It
may be applied to soils and crops in a per
fectly crude state, ami always with admira
ble success. It is of a warming nature, r;ch
in nil the essential elements of nutrition, and
exerts its energies at once. It is less dura
ble than soine other manures, and owing to
its energy, requires to be applied in Icm
quantities, especially on cultivated crop.
For roots und bulbous plants it is invalua
ble. Chip M.txt t.e may be regarded as be
longing to the sumo category ns muck and
peat. When decomposed, it is line ami
light, and when unalvzet-d presents a heavy
preponderance- of vegetable and mineral con.
aliments- It possesses a high degree of
value as an ingredient in composts, especial
ly those which are mostly of mineral nature.
Its effects on Indian corn are vvell-kuovvn.--The
liner it is. the more imnmdiute and effi
cient will be its action, though iu this con
dition it is less durable than when applied
in a coarser sttue. Currant, gooseberry oud
other fruiliferous bushes, are greatly bene
fited by annual applications of this arti
cle. Fotif.sT Mort.n on fk-iiAPiNoa. -Tl.es
articles are also of vegetable origin, being
derived principally from the decay of leaves
wood, Ac., and consequently pos-ess in
themselves many of the more itnpottaut vo
getable principles, such, for instance, ns tha
nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds
which enter, more or less extensively, into
the texture and organization of all plants.
When accumulated either iu the spring or
fall, and placed in situations favoring d
composition, these materials are readily
resolved into a highly powerful manure. If
placed in the cattle-yard, or hog pen, do
posited under feheep sheds, or mixed with
other materials in the compost hep. their
valuable properties wiil be happily encono
uii.cd, aud 1111 important aihiitiou thereby
secured to the available maimricl resources
of the farm. Ton much importance cannot
well be attached to articles of this character;
they are all valuable, und no one who chii
procure them need complain of a want of
man ute.
Hom-.s constitute another valuable fertiliz
er. Crushed ami ground bones have long
been extensively used both in this country
anel in Europe. On uhiicst every species of
vegetation roots rewell as grains they
act with surprising promptness, and their
effects are both salutary and lasting. Hones
dissolved in sulphuric acid which is itself
a great promote of vegetative power iu thn
soil aru perhaps more efficient than in any
other state iu which they can be applied.
As ull the bones coutain large quautitie of
phosphate, of lime, their iiiechanieul effect
upon the soil is Cousidetuble, and a deg.teei
of coustitutioual improvement will follow
us a natural result. To those who havo
never experimented with this species of
manure, 1 would say, be no longer remiss iu
the performance of nn obvious aud most im
portant duty. It behooves every one who
has soil to cultivate, to strive, by every pos
sible means, to improve its productive ca
pacity, and to secure fro 111 it theiichcst nnd
most liberal rewards, lu order to nehievo
this result, wo must have manure. This can
never be possessed vv it bout effort; like all
other acquisitions, it must be purchased by
effort, and often at iho Sacrifice of c-ise and
comfort. Hut in such an undertaking, con
biderations of this uat'irc should be entirely
overlooked. lUrmiiitwrn Jt ;', h.
