See how tbe glittering share Makes earth's bosom lair, Crowninsr the brow, Bread in its furrow springs, Health and repose it brings. Treasures that mork at king— God save the plough. Look at the warrior's blade. While o'er the enorimson'd glade Hate breathe its vow— Wrath its unsheathing wakes, Love at its flashing quakes, Weeping and woe it makes— God save the plough! Ships o'er the ocean ride. Storms wreck their bannered pride. Waves whelm their prow— While the untroubled wain Garnereth the golden grain Gladdening the reaper train ! God save the plough ! Who are the truly great t Minions of pomp and state, Where the crowd bow ? Give us hard hands and tree Cultures of field and tree— True sons of liberty— God save the plough ! To STOP POTATOES ROTTING.—We clip the following from an agricultural exchange: "An experienced agriculturist informs us that about six years ago he applied lime to potatoes that were partly rotten, when the lime was applied. continued to rot and were lost. Since then he has made it a common practice to applv slacked lime to his potatoes as he takes them up. He puts a thin layer of lime upon the floor where the potatoes are to be laid, and sprinkles some of it over the potatoes about every ten inches as they are put down. He considers this as per fectly protecting them from rolling and he has never had a rotten potato since he has practiced it; and he believes also that potatoes thus used are rendered better by the action of lime.' We advise the farmers to try this plan, as it easily can be done by them all." To SWEETEN RANCID BUTTER. —An agricul turist, near Brussels, lias discovered that butter so rancid as to be past use can be restored so as to have all the sweetness of fresh'butter. This operation is extremely simple and practicable for all. It consists in heating the butter in a sufficient quantity of water, into which had been mixed 25 to 30 drops of chloride of 1 in e to two pounds of butler. After having brought all its parts in contact with the water, it may be left for an hour or two; afterwards withdrawn and washed anew in fresh wafer. The chloride of lime used, having nothing injurious in it, can safely be increased; but after having verified the experiment it was found that 25 to 30 drops to two and a half pounds of butter, were sufficient. RECEIPT FOR RUSK.—To one quart of milk add one pound of sugar and half pound of butter, one pint of the milk must be warmed to make a sponge of, with yeast and flour, about as thick as pancake batter, let it rise all night. When rtsen enough, warm the other pint of milk with the sugar and butter, put in the sponge; knead it, but not very stiff. Let it rise again; when risen enough, mould it into cakes as large as biscuits, place them in tins and let them rise; rub them over with sugar and milk. Bake them in a quick oven. When baked, rub them again with sugar and milk to give them a gloss. SOFT GINGERBREAD. —Two eggs, two small tumblers of molasses, a pint bowl ol water, ,i lump of saleratus of the siz -of a small buttei nut, dissolved in water, halfa teacup of butler; stir in the Dakt flour that will enable it to hake well; one teaspoonful of cloves, add ginger if preferred. Bake in pans. GOOD PUMPKIN PJE WITHOUT EGG:-.— One quart of boiling milk, two soda or Boston, crack ers rolled fine, put to the boiling milk, luo tea cups of strained boiled pumpkin, little salt, one Cup of sugar, extract of lemon, little gmg-r. If this quant it v will not make two pies ;.ut~ in a little cold milk. Bake in a hut oven. WEDDING CAKE. — One pound of flour, one pound of sugar, one pound of butter, |w u pounds of raisins stoned, three pounds of currants well washed, one and a quarter ounce of mace, one ounce of nutmeg, one and a quarter pounds of citron, half gill of brandy, a few cloves. Bake in large loaves three hours. (.REAM I RITTERS. —Beat six eggs until (] uite light, then stir i n one pint of cream, one ' tea spoonful of salt, half a grated nutmeg, and sif ted flour enough to make a thin batter; stir it until it becomes smooth, then drop it bv sooo rr fuls into hot lard, fry, and serve. MOLASSES PlE. —Take nine tablespoonfuls of molasses, six tablespoonfuls of good vinegar, one and a half tablespoonfuls of flour, a small piece of butter, a few slices of lemon, or grated lemon peel; cover with a rich paste. This is decided ly theiesf substitute tor apple pie. CRACKER PIE. —Two soda crackers soaked in one cup of warm water, one small teaspoonful of tartaric acid, or lemon juice, on e cup of sugar.

Boil the pumpkin until tender, then turn "on tne syrup boiling hut. A MILE IN THREE MINUTES—A horrible Old rip of a norse. belonging to a doctor, was to be sold at auction. He was advertised as a "Celebrated horse; kind in harness and made nismile in tr.ree minutes; handy at the plow * and sold only because his present owner has no further use for him." On the day of sale a crowd gathered-amone which was the doctor, whom the horse no soon er saw than he began to manifest signs of unea siness, which the auctioneer called life an d fpint. The first bid was seventy-five dollars j and soon run up to one hun_ • ne hundred j | and twenty-five:one hunu. f ' yat which l price, the nag was pronotM so, buy- j ! er paid the money, ® nd , d . the spirited I animal to his wagon, informing the crowd that | | he was going to Johnstown, where he himself ; belonged. He had not been absent more than an hour i when he was seen wen l "- wav oack, not having got as far as Job -'own. He told the auctioneer that he bad reiurnid to make some ' inquiries, which perhaps ll would have been ;as well to have made before he bought the horse. "You say this horse has made his mile under three minutes '' ■ "Yes." "May Ibe allowed to inquire how long i i since V , "Certainly—witlun three weeks." "One question more- where did he do it?"

Mr Scudder, in India, in a letter gives an j I instance of heroism, railed forth by the Indian , ' mutinies: "Let Americans never be ashamed j j that Englishmen are their forefathers. Eng- | land is a noble country. Her sons are heroes i and her daughters art* heroines. Til is rebel lion has brought out devds that deserve to be i associated with those valorous actions which we, with throbbing pulses read in history. In one place a lady and her husband fled in their carriage. He stood upright. She took the reins. She lashed the horses through a band of mutineers, while he, with cool aim, shot j dead one who seized the horses' heads, and another who climbed upion the carriage behind jto cut him down. On they fled, till again they i found themselves among foes, and a rope stretch jed across the road made further progress ap- ] i pear impossible. 1 rue to herself, she dashed ] I tfie hoise? at full speed against the rope, and as j j they bearing it down, stumbled, she, by rein j and whip, raised them, while her husband's ! weapons again freed them from those who sue- j I ceeded in leaping upon thern. —He was woun- ' i ded, but both escaped with their lives. In ! | another place a young lady, the daughter of; jof an officer, shot seven mutineers before they] J k ilied her. A captain, pressed by his Sepoys, ! ; with his good sword slew twenty six of them before he fell. I A NEGRO RUNS AWAY WITH A WHITE Wo i MAN. —The Cincinnati Gazette ot October 19, I learns that quite an excitement was created i ! at London on Tuesday, by the appearance there j ! of a well dressed negro, having with himagen i teei appearing, but simple acting and evidently i I weak minded white girl. From the facts sub- I , sequenily gathered it seems that botli resided at j Morrow,and tiiat the negro had induced the] girl to tun away with him, and she has left iier lather's home to follow the foriunes of her ebony admirer. The couple arrived at London on the evening train, and rode up in an omnibus to the j hotel, but on arriving there, the landlord took tiie girl into the house, but refused to permit ; the negro to stay, and therefore turned him out. 1 —By tins time a considerable crowd bad gath : er-d about, and the negro, fearing personal j ! violence, took himself off' to another pait of' 1 the town. The girl seemed iniatuated with ; the n gro lover, and expressed a wish to stili . [cling to him: but the negro, fearing he might ; be mobbed if he persisted in taking the girl with ! him, advised her to stay at the hotel, whirh i • she did through the night. The pair had not ] vet bee married, but it was their intention to call in the aid of a Justice at London, when the "consummation so devoutly to be wished" was ] interfered with by the people of the town. The girl was to be sent back to her friends ves -1 terdac. She is represented to us as comely in appearance, genteelly dtessed and though not intelligent, exhibited fair qualities of mind, yet net of the strongest charact-r. How she should' have ecom infatuated with a stout,athletic m gro, with nothing particulaaiy to recommend ; I him, is a mvstery. Returning reason will i probably clip the wings of romance, and she . will see the folly of so dark an elopement. DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.
