POETRY.
From the Columbian Magailue.
SORROW'S HOLIDAY. ;
Gay girls are wreathing
Flowers in their hair, '
Fond lip are breathing
The wish--the prayer. ,
Lonely the laughter,
The revel I shun; .
One stealeth after , .
How welcome thai one.
Far away gleaming, -The
dancers flit byi
Here sit we dreaming
Memory end I.
Fair beads of amber,
She couoteth the while,
Ia the slill chamber,
With sigh and smile;
And as she te'leth
Her Tosary o'er,
Wild my heart dwelleth.
On hours of yore.
Some winged treasure.
That flew from . my arms,
Some perished pleasure,
Each bead enbalms.
All hopes I cherished,
There find a tomb,
One by one perished,
- In glory and bloom.
Sound harp and viol!
Speed the bright hours!
Life's sunny dial,
They count by flowers.
They the light-hearted!
Ah! dearer to me, .
One dream of the parted,
Than all their wild glee.
Still the past haunts me!
'Mid all hope can say,
Memory chants me,
A lovelier lay.
INTERESTING TO APPLE
GROWERS.
In a letter published in the January
number of the Horticulturist, the Rev. C.
Springer, of Meadow Farm, Ohio, says.
'I hare gathered this year, from one
acre of ground, about 160 barrels of the
finest and fairest apples grown in this vi
cinity or State, and about one barrel of the
White Doyenne pears. The latter are
now (Nov. 8th) in perfection. I had one
Rhode Island Greening five inches in di
ameter, weighing eighteen ounces and
three quarters. My trees hare never
beenju-immed, and I raise larger fruit than
one who trims his trees.
HOW TO INCREASE THE FRUIT
FULNESS OF ORCHARDS.
Alkaline, or araoniacal preparations
have been applied to young trees, as well
as to old ones, for the purpose of stimula
ting their growth and acceleratiag their
fruitfulncss, such as whitewashing their
trunks and branches, rubbing them with
roapsuds, and spreading round their roots,
lime, gypsum, charcoal, soot, ashes, fcc.
If you apply it to vines, or to young ap
ple trees, there is nothing that contributes
more to make them bear an abundance of
fruit; nor docs this only produce a greater
increase, but it 'also improves both the
taste and flavor of the wine and apple.
American Jgricaliurist.
LIME ON APPLE TREES.
An old farmer of much discrimination
oserved to us recently that he had made
it a regular practice for several years, to
eow caustic lime around his apple trees
ia the spring. He had noticed that a
tree standing in the immediate vicinity of
his dwelling, hd all at once put forth
with renewed energy, and was at a loss
for some time to know the cause. On
inquiry, he found that a quantity of lime.
rnica nad accidentally been spilled and
rendered worthless by becoming mixed
with the refuse on the stable floor, had
been thrown at the foot of the tree, and
to lliis as the principal cause, he immedi
ately assigned the revivisence and renew
ed fructification of the tree. Taking the
hint from this accident, he purchased
tweWe casks of lime and applied half s
bushel to each tree, and found that it pro
duced immediately beneficial effects.
Not the health of the trees only, but the
quality of the fruit was greatly improved.
We would advise our readers to make a
trial of this experiment and see whether it
is deserving of the high recommendation
it receives. Cultivator. .
. MANURES. "A single grain of sa
line matter in every pound of soil one
foot deep is equal to 500 lbs. in the acre."
This"' says a celebrated writer, "is more
than is carried oft in forty years, suppos
ing that the wheat and barley are sent to
market, and the straw and green crops
regularly returned to the soil in the shape
of manure." Farmers are to apt to rely
on what they have learned to regard as
the recuperative or self-replenishing ener
gy of the soil; a capacity, in fact, which
the earth does nut, and cannot possess,
unless under certain circumstances of cul
ration, or a system of adequate vegetable
returns for the draft made upon its pow-1
ers by. the crowing crop. Suppose a '
garden be cultivated for a series of years
without a due application of stimulating
manure; no one can doubt that 'exhaustion
tvrvild be the consequence, and that this
w ould be precisely in the ratio of the J
quantity , or amonnt of crop produced. j
Thi priuciple hold geud in hs apniica-
tioa to agriculture generally. It is accor
ding to the requirements of an inalienable
natural law, aad can never be reversed
LIME. One farmer saved his clover;
from destruction by the slug or .snail, on
land bearing a wheat crop, by a slight
dessing of powdered lime, scattered
through a clover 6eed machine late in the
evening, when the insects were busy at
work. Lime would be freqently useful
if applied in this manner. Sown in
moderate quantities on light land it will
bring m white clover; it is said that it wdl
destroy the fungus which causes the rot
in potatoes. ,
REMARKABLE WEATHER.
In tho year 301, the cold; was so in
tense, that the Black Sea was entirely
frozen over.
In 451, the Pontus Sea, and the Sea
between Constantinople aud Scutari in
Turkey were entirely frozen over. '
. The Danube was frozen over in 4G2
so that a whole army crossed on the ice.
The Black Sea was again frozen ever
in 762, and the enow drifted to the depth
of 50 feet.
Carriages crossed the Adriatic Sea on
the ice in 859, and in 860 the cold was
60 intense that cattle froze to death in
their stalls. The Mediterranean Sea was
so tickly frozen over that it was passable
for carriages and horses, and merchandize
was transported across it on ice.
1 133. This year the river Po was fro
zen from Cremond to theses; wine burst
the stisks containing it, and trees split
with immense noise.
1216. The river Po was frozen this
year to the depth of 16 feet.
1235. The Mediterranean was again
frozen over, and a whole pine forest was
killed by the cold.
1282. This year the snow was so
deep in Austria, that houses were entire
ly buried beneath it and many persons
perished.
1292. The Rhine was frozen over,
and the snow 13 represented as being of
"an enormous depth.'!
1323. The Baltic Sea was frozen
over so as to be passable for six weeks.
1344. All the rivers in Italy were
frozen over.
1349, 1402, and 1403. The Baltic
Sea was frozen over in each of these
years.
1384. The Rhine and Sea of Venice
were frozen over.
1423, 1426, and 1459. In each of
these years the traveling from Lubec to
Prussia was performed on the ice.
1620. The sea between Constantino
ple and Iskodar was passable on the ice.
1670. The cold was intense through
out Europe.
1G81. This year the cold was so se
vere as to split whole forests of oak trees.
1690. Scotland this year was visited
with an awful snow storm, which lasted
for 13 days and nights, during which time
nine-tenths of the sheep were frozen to
death, and many shepherds lost their
lives.
1692. Wolves came into Vienna and
attacked men and women, owing to the
intense cold and hunger.
nijor m one or tnese years
another great snow storm- visited Scot
land, m which about 20,000 sheep and
many shepherds were lost by a single
uev snow.
1776. This year the Danube was fro
zen over five feet thick below Vienna.
Scotland was the scene of another ter
rible snow storm in 1794, which is the
most exlroordinary one of which there is
any record. In one single night snow
fell to the depth of eight or ten feet, and
in some places the most lofty trees were
entirely covered. By this one night's
storm 17 shepherds lost their lives, and
thousands of sheen, besides other ani
mals, were destroyed. One farmer alone
lost 1400 sheep. After the storm had
abated, and the snow had somewhat dis
appeared, there were found collected to
gether (by its violence) in one spo', the
dead bodies of 2 men, 1 woman, 45 dogs,
3 horses. 9 black" cattle. 180 h arcs anrl
1840 sheep.
The above arc the most remarkable ac
counts of the old world, and strantre.lv
contrast with the weather of the present
time; or even that of our own country
since its settlement.

35) Dr. D. JAYNE. Dear Sir. Mv
little son, when about two months old,
was seized with a bowel complaint. It
continued for two weeks without inter
mission, and notwithstanding the reme
dies prescribed bv a respectable Phvsi-
j
cian, we gave up me cnuu a victim, as
child
we supposed, to a fatal disease. But I
providentially heard of
minitive," as an effectual
"Jaynea Car
cure for bowel
complaint, aud immediately dispatched
a messenger to a town seventeen miles
off! for a bottle. By the use of this
medicine, in less than thirty-six hour
the disease was checked, and by its con
stant use fer a few days, the child was
restored to petfect health. Shortly after
tins, there occurred a similar case in one
of the families of my congregation. I
prescribed "Jayne's Carminitive," and
the result was a speedy cure.
Ihe same child, owing: to exposure,
when recently coming up the Ohio, was
attacked by thai horrible malady, Croun.
We landed in the night at Beaver Point,
and when our fears were alarmed lKt
the hoarse sepulchral cough was the
forerunner of death, we gave him a lea-
spoonfull of your Expectorant, and ap
plied some liniment to the throat and
breast; and before many minutes the
hoarseness was gone, the child breathed
freely and slept aweetly. Owiner to
these circumstances iteaonal be wonder
ed at Wiiy 1 have so high an opinion of
your medicines, and why I advise every
family to keep them on hand, ready for
any emergency. Respectfully yours.

CpOR ANOTHER PROOF ADDED.
The cures performed by Wistar's Bal
sam of Wild Cherry, are really a$ton
ishing to ihe world.
The following we have just received
from Messrs. Joslin and Rowe, Drug
gists, in Newark in this State, to whom
it was communicated by John Wimer,
Esq. a citizeu of Burlington, : Lickin
count', Ohio. .
Burlingtov, O. D;c. J, 1843.
Messrs. Joslin k Rowe At your re
quest I herewith transmit to you a state
ment of the case of Mrs, Wimer and
child, as near as I am able to communi
cate, which you are al liberty to publish
if you see fit, as I feel a deifr to inform
the world of the effects of the invaluable
midicine called Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, to which, by the Divine bless
ing, I am indebted for the restoration to
health of my wife anif 'child.
About five years ago Mrs. Wimer was
attacked with a violent cough, pain in the
chesi and side and symptoms of approa
ching consumption. During ihe interval
from lhat lime to some lime in February
iasi, ene nan oeen treated by eminent
physicians from Uiica, Sylvania, Homer
Chatham and Newark, and with only
partial relief of the most urgent symp
tom?. About one year ago she eaught a
violent cold, which seated upon lbs
lungs, producing an alarming aggrava
tion of all her previous systems. Her
physician was senifor, and despile his
best afforts she began to sink rapidly un
der her disease. Cough, expectorant,
and hectic, together with night sweats
soon reduced her to a complete skeleton.
In February last her attending physi
cian deemed her case altogether hope
less; a council was called, and after de
liberating upon her cise uiiaiiii?io'i?!y
pronounced her lo be beyond ihe reach
of means, and expressed iheir opinion
that she could survive but a short time,
one or two weeks at farthest. She wsa
at this time entirely confined to her b. J
and scarcely able to articulate, except in
wmsper. tier daily proxysms of
coughing would last uninterruptedly from.
inree to live hours, and so severe lhat wa
expacled every proxysm would be her
laat.
The phyfisns in council orononnead
her lungs, liver, kidneys, spine and mu
cus membrane of the stomach lo be incu
rably diseased.
It was at this last extremity that wa
happened to obtain a pamphlet Je;cribincr
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherrv. as
applicable to lung affections. We imme
diately sent to you and procured a bottle,
and commenced its use al evening by
giving her one teaspoon full, and "such
was the surprising effect lhat she was a
ble to pass a comfortable night without
experiencing any paroxysm of coughing;
and such was its ultimate effect, that, a!-
ter taking five bottles, she was, contrary
to the expectations of her physicians and
every one who saw her, entire restored :
to health, and since last summer has
done the entire work of the fair.ilv.
After the last attack of Mrs. Wimer.
our youngest child, then an infant at tht
breast, was taken down and rapidly sink
mg with ihe same symptoms as iis me-
ther, and having seen ihe li3ppy effect
in the case of the mother, we were dis
posed to make a trial of it for the child.
and it was attended with the same
feet success.
