THE LAST OF JUNE.
Oh, where ia that laughing maiden fair,
Willi lustrous eyes and shining hair,
That leaned o’er Summer's gate awhile,
Gladdening the earth with her sunny smile!
With songs, that in her own sweet way,
She warbled all the live-long day ?
The gate stands open—June has sped
Over the earth with airy tread, .
Scattering the rose leaves on her way,
Tiling the lilies with the hay;
And e’en the pinks I loved the best
She has borne away upon her breast ;
And from the honey-suckle's cup
lias sipped the nectar almost tip,
While I miss, to-day, the perfect tune .
Of the joyous Songs of “ imperial June.”
But list, the humming-bird and bee
I'licir secret now are telling me:
“ Her fragrant,robe has led their way
To haunts where best she loved to stray:
By waving grain, in silvan nook— ,
In leafy glen beside the brook — ‘
That, in those shady, quiet spots
She’s left her blue forget me-nots;
That still her spirit lingers there,
Bor many treasures clustering fair,
She has left in sweet array '
To grace her sister's natal day;
There quiver, too, in low, sad tune,
Strains of the days' of departed June.”

HINTS TO INVENTORS ON THE DESTRUO
TION OF THE POTATO BUG-,
Mkssrs. Editors :—Last year the potato
tops were eaten up by a great-number of
bugs, aud the crop was very-small. Some
people would shake the steins a little, and
the bugs would fall off, but the next morn
ing they had climbed up again. I know a
man whose family picked, more tha,n a quart
a day, but. he did not raise as many potatoes
as Jus family needed. In digging up the
gardens this : spring the grubs are'found
irom six to nine indhes deep, just the same
as last year, making their way to the sur
face iu time to eat tue coining crop. They
are not found on any otheyplauts,,and very
tow are goiug : to plant potatoes about this
neighbornood this season.
1 remember some years ago that the
turnip tops were eaten- the same way in
England, by a fly,or bug, that diminished
the crop so much as to atfeet the price of
mutton, the large turnips being the main
food for sheep, and farmers sowed very
small patches. I remember well the laugn
ter aud derision that took place when it be
came known that a certain farmer, who had
been hoarding a poor Jack-of-al 1-trades that
hud been making what they ironically term
ed a perpetual motion, had sovved-nearly all
his Tarm to turnips, for they believed he
would not get fifty good ones from it. The
farmer aud inventor told them that they
had a machine that would save the crop;
but nothing short of seeing the crop, whiofi
was an excellent one, of large, smooth, and
almost spherical turnips, could convince
them, aud the result was, the farmer who
found the means and the inventor who con
structed the machine made each a fortune
by supplying the machines for destroying
tne bugs or flies. It was very simple and
resembled a sulky plow, having two wheels
to drive a fan wtiiqn sucked up the insects
and dashed them ‘against a board which
killed them.
Now, perhaps some experimentalist Who
has the mouus will take a hint from this,
and enable larmers to destroy these loath
some and, disgusting insects, so that siuce
the oid disease or rot has ueariy disappear
ed, we may have plenty of potatoes.

THE TEETH OF A HORSE,
At five years of age a horse has 40 teeth
—24 molar or jaw teeth, 12 incisor or front
teetii, and 4 tusks or canine teeth, between
the molars or incisors, but usually wanting
in the mare. At-birth paly two nippers or
middle incisors appear.
At a year old, the incisors are all visible
on the first or milk set.
Before three years the permanent nippers
have come through.
At four years old, the permanent dividers
next to the nippers are out. 1
At five the mouth is perfect, the second
set of teeth having been completed.
At six, the hollow under the nippers call
ed the mark, has disappeared Irom, the nip
pers, and diminished iu the dividers.
At seven the mark has disappeared from
the dividers, and the next teetu, or corners,
are level, though showing the mark.
At eight, the mark has gone from the
corners, and the horse is said to be aged.
After this time, iudeed good authorities say
after live years, the age of a horse can only
bo conjectured. But the teeth gradually
change their form, the incisors becoming
round, oval and then triangular. Dealers
sometimes bishop the teeth of
that is, scoop them out to imitate the maru;
but this can be known by the absence of the
white oilge of enamel which always sur
rounds the real mark, by the shape of the
teeth and other marks of age about the ani
mal.—Rural Gentlemen.
A SENSIBLE SOUTHERNER.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph tells of a
North Carolina planter, rich and happy be
fore the war, who was despoiled during the
war ofsilvcr and gold, and bonds, and negroes
and asses, and mules, and much cattle. All
he had left was land without laborers, and
some ready money. YYhatdid he do? The
Telegraph, says—He walked not the porti
coes of his stately mansion, cursing the
Yankees and sighing over milk that was
spilt. This good old North Carolina gentle
man went to work; he employed surveyors
with log and chain, and carpenters With
hammers. He divided up his estate into
farms of one hundred acres and less, and
built snug little cottages upon every farm.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1867.
He then went to the North and hunted up
good, industrious families, mostly foreign
ers, and upon every farm he settled one of
these families. Unto some he sold, but
unto most he rented for a share of the crop.
He also started a store on the premises, and
one of his handsome sons is counter-hopper.
By this means, ho writes us, his income has
beert raised to a figure higher than ever it
attained before the war, and his lands have
suddenly been increased 500 per cent, in
value. He communicated.these facts to the
editor of the Telegraph, and adds: “I am
glad the negroes are free, and recognize the
truth, that their freedom is a blessing to the
whites."

STRONG DRINK AND THE CHOLERA.
The .inland,city of Heading, with a large
population of, German extraction, lias jfor,
forty years been famous for its malt liquors.
Lauer’s Brewery is an establishment whose,
lame has gone abroad among all the beer
drinkers of the North.;: At the. Beer Brew,-,
er’s Congress in Chicago, June sth,, Frede
rick Lauer, Esq., of Heading, }vas unani
mously chosen Honorary President, either
on account of the fame of his beer, or in .ac
knowledgment of the very high, not.to say
radical and audacious grounds he takes, as
to the sanitary qualities of the article which
he manufactures. We are glad to find in
the columns of the Berks and Schuylkill Ga
zette, published at Heading, a communication
re-stating, \yith. clearness and force,.thje well
established and startling facts of the con
nection between.intemperance and epidemic
disease, and which shows the gross and open
falsity of the statements made by the “ Hon
orary President ” of the Congress of Beer
Brewers ofthe United States. The follow
ing is the communication :
Messrs. Editors I noticed in yo.pr issue
of June Isth,. the 'following: ‘‘At the Con
gress of the Beer Brewers fn : Chicago,’ Mr:
Hauer, of this city, maintained tna.tr beer was
a preventive of cuolera, Ac.; &e.”: This doc
trine-might have been -believei}., a hundred
years ago, before organic chemistry anil
Kindred sciences had arrived at their present
state of perfection. To say that beer, or
any other hialt liquor; is a- preventive ol
cholpra, or any other -epidemic,as simply,ab
surd, and shows a lacu of knovvletlge of the
nature of the drinks iiud the human system.
All kinds of intoxicating drinks, Whether
fermented or distilled, oi whatever name;
be it b.eer, brandy or whiskey,-are injurious
to any and every person in a state of health,
and so depress the vital powers that instead
of enabling the system tu resist the morbific
influence of diseases, predispose tbe system
to them. Whatever depresses the system
invites disease. One eoihinon cause of de
pression is the accumulation of waste-mat
ter in the system, which is of itself a cause
of disease. All kinds of intoxicating drinks
tend to prevent the elimination of morbid
matter out of the system. After death, re
sulting fro in Cholera or drunkenness, the
blood in bdtn cases exhibits a deficiency of
oxygen, and a super-abundance of ciiruon.
Notwithstanding tbe assertion that beef is
a preventive of cholera, it is a wen attested
fact, that in-whatever village,'town, or city,
the cholera makes its appearance, its first
victims are those who use intoxicating
drinks. The distinction between beer oi
other malt liquors and ardent spirits, is only
one of degree. The essential intoxicating
principle in all of them, aud for wnioh they
are used, ia alcohol—an acrid narcotic pois
on, for an over-dose of which there is no an
tidote; its action upon the heart and nerve
centres is so over-powering that death en
sues almost immediately, in. the:manufac
ture of malt liquors, to give them strength,,
briskness, color, &0., many poisonous drugs
are used —such as cocculus iudicus, grains oi
paradise, and tobacco, ido not know that
any of the brewers of Heading use these
drugs; but there are few men that can resist
the temptation of making money and com
peting with others iu thesame business; and
drugs are cheaper than good malt and hops.
We contend that all intoxicating drinks—
not even excepting Lauer’s beer —-are more
entitled to tne name of cholera conductors,
than cholera preventives. Monsieur Huber
says-of 2,ibu whom he saw die in twenty
one days iu one town in -Russia it is a most
remarkiihle circumstance-that persons given
to drinking have been swept away like flies.
In Tifiis,containing2d,bUd inhabitants,every
drunkard has luileu—all are dead— not one
remains. Nearly all ofthe 3U,UUU who died
iu Haris, of cholera, were in the habit : of
using strong drink.—nine-tenths of all who
perisued in Boland, were of the same class.
Ofthe cholera victims in 1532, in England,
Ireland and Scotland, not one of them was
a member of a Temperance Society, while
iu one or two villages in Scotland every
drunkard had fallen.” l)r. A. M. Adams,
Hrot. of Medicine in Glasgow, says: “ I have
found the use of alcoholic drinks to be the
most powerful predisposing cause of malig
nant cholera with which I am acquainted.”
Dr. Bronson, of Albany says: pWhen 1200
persons had died in Montreal, a paper in
that city said, not a drunkard- who had been
attacked, has recovered of the disease, and
almost all the victims have been at least
moderate drinkers.” Out of 1,000 persons
who died, only 2 were teetotallers. In Al
bany, in 1832, the cases over 16 years of age
were as follows: Intemperate 140; free
drinkers 55; moderate drinkers 131; strictly
temperate 5; members of temperance socie
ties 2; idiots 1; unknown 2; total 336; pop
ulation 26,000; members of temperanco so
cieties 5,000. In Albany, of members fif
temperance societies, only 1 in 2,500 died,
while one in 60 died of the other population.
In New York, of the 5,000 members of tem
perance societies, only 2 died; of the Hiber
nian Temperance Society, numbering 123
members, and of the African Temperance
Society, numbering 193, not one of either
society died of the cholera, showing that
neither the laboring classes nor the colored
people are any more liable to cholera than
any other class or race, providing they do
not invite the disease by using intoxicating
drinks.” The opinion of the Boston Board
of health, August 10th, 1832, is :,‘AThat all
kinds of ardent spirits, and other strong
stimulants, are not useful in preventing
cholera; but they dispose to ks attack." In
conclusion, I will say the only true preven
tive against cholera is, toueh not, taste not
any kind of,strong drink, for tlie wise man
said, “ that at last it bite.th like a serpent
and' stingeth lijkq an adder." . Yours, for
temperance, truth and humanity. :

to the public in iSSGj since which time their reputation has extended,
until they have a sale iu excess of all other Cathartic aud Purifying
Medicines. There is family among civilized nations who
have not personal evidence of their beneficial, effects. Their great
success is owing to their uniform reliability in cases of Constipation,

They arc entirely vegetable in their composition, and harmless to

another is diuretic; and stimulates proper action of tho kidneys; a

is, to regulate the impaired functions of the system, and to produce
health. It is not asserted Moffat’s Pills are a cure-all —that they
