We repeat to ourselves conduit:illy in our amazement, how green the grass grows ! how blue the sky ! how warm and soft the air!

Oh, spring-time! thou art in deed a time of rejoicing! A Prayer Answered. The ago of miracles, it is said, passed away from earth with the falling footsteps of the SaViolli, but, the following incident, related by the Newton (Iowa) RepubLican, tells of a case almost akin to a miracle. That paper says : " From a private letter to one of the editors of this paper, - from our former fellow-citizen, Rev. U. W. Rata•- liogs, we learn a most remarkable instance of the answer of prayer, Mr. Rawlings is this winter holding revival meetings at tynnvilltt, - and informs us that ninety-eight have joined the church and ono hundred been converted, and the good work goes on. Among the converts wore one aged hus band and wife, fifty or sixty years old, who had at son deaf and di:tub. The boy is eight years old, and six years ago he lost his hearing and speech by a severe attack of spotted fever. After the conversion of the parents, they began to pray for the restora tion of their child, and now the boy can hear distinctly, and is learning to talk. The name of the old man is G. W. Covert. This is the most remarkable circumstances of the kind that has come to opr knowledge since the death of Christ." A Secret Illarriage . and the Tragic Result. For many months a young gentleman paid his attentions to a young lady who occupied a position in a neighboring town several degrees above his own socially. The youth succeeded in 'engaging the affections of the young lady to an extent that nothing could satisfy except matri mony. The post-office had for a time done its duty, as post-offices always do in such matters, and many were the long and doubtless tender messages that passed be tween the loving two, protected by the efficient care of their dear uncle front the Prying eyes of those who would have given "something niec" to have known what was going on The lady knew that her "papa And 1t11111111111." would never consent to the avian of tiro 'octal; hearts, with her parent's mine of wealth laying between them, and so she readily consented to the young man's proposition to have the thing done up " on. the sly ;" and all unknown to the folks, while she was on a visit to some of her relatives at Columbus, her charmer called and the thing was done. After a brief honeymoon in the capital city of Ohio she returned to her home, but her husband did not return with her. From the time of the daughter's arrival home the old people faceted they could hear strange noises in the house. Footsteps were often heard upon the stairs in the lone still hours of night. Various articles of furniture moved mysteriously about in the room above, and the old gentleman and lady finally came to the conclusion that the house was haunted, or that something was wrong. One night, after all had retir ed, the "parents" not only distinctly heard steps upon the stairs, but voices and noises on the landing-place above. Armed with a horse-pistol, the father left his bed and quietly approached the foot of the stairs, where he found, resting upon the lower step, a pair of boots. At once he set up the cry of "thieves, robbers, murder," that in a twinkling brought every member of the household to the scene—except his daughter. All hands then proceeded cautiously to' the young lady's room, and not being able to arouse her they broke open the door just in time to see a bootless man dive through the window. The old gentleman rushed to the opening, discharged his pistol, and the young man dropped to the ground. " Great heavens you have killed my hus band," exclaimed the daughter, falling back and fainting upon the bed. " Your husband 1" exclaimed all in a breath, and then a rush of domestics to the yard below. The young man was found upon the ground beneath the window, carried into the house, and the old people, frantic with grief and fear, promised to receive 111111 to their hearts if lie would only live. The doctor soon arrived, cud, having dressed a slight flesh wound upon his area, pronoun ced him in 130 danger. He has now re covered, and is one of the happiest 113011 within fifty miles of Springiield.—Spring field (Ill.) Advertiser. Crow-Roost or Kentucky. On the Danville pike, seven miles from Lexington, is the great I:entneky crow roost. As an establishment, it dates from time immemorial. Timber in the "Blue iftt'tyts"__ region being somewhat scarce, `many of the worshipful crows are so bject 'ed to the humiliation of roosting on the ground. They are by no means a happy fanlike, judging from the amount of wrang ling that takes place at each evening's assemblage. Crowder!' ha. evidently not adopted the couple!, Your little beakc wer.• never wade To tear out each others' eyes out." AL one thaw they grew audacious, anal believing in the doctrine of "Squatter Sove reignty," they resolved lo appropriate a locust grove on a neighboring plantation to roosting purposes. When they had pitch ed their tents for the night, a terrible clangor arose. Whether they had resolved to celebrate their new acquisition with " song and dance," or whether they were experiencing the confusion incident to a " new apportionment of seats," has not been ascertained. But the sleepless occu pants of the Iltrm house conldn't endure so continued a "sound of revelry by night," and determined to break up the ebony carousal by a " coup de team.'' Armed with double barrels "slugged to the 'nuz zle," they made a raid on tin, rookery, "and slew three thousand." They " abandoned the ranehe" on the next night, since which time they have ceased their idea. of " tbreign acquisitions." They usually begin to assemble at the roost about four o'clock, and continue to come till long after dark. Each dock has its leader, who designates the spot of settling for the night, and, like a true Mogul, occu pies a tree almost alone, his aids and lieutenants slitting at respectful distances. On one particular tree, "high on a throne of royal state," sits, "solitary and alone," the King of all Crowdom. lie seems to be the " observed of all observers," and is made the recipient of repeated messages from the brigades and regiments as they muster for roost. Probably each deputy reports a roster of troops, or, perhaps, they have adopted the " carrier system," and at each interview the evening mail is deliver ed. The crows that occupy this roost nightly are numbered by millions. They are singularly stupid after night in the presence of a torch, or when the weather is rainy, and thousands may be killed by random shots among the trees, or oven by staves and stones. It is a favorite sport of boys in the neighborhood to go on crow killing adventures. At day-light they are off fin• breakfast, and the whole roost scatters in all directions. The extent of territory from which they gather to this roost is not known, but it is supposed they gather here front several States. In sum mer the roost is almost uninhabited, the occupants having gone to the Northern Status. They are decreasing in numbers annually, and tho poet laureate of Ken tucky has in contemplation a production which, from the similitude of the decad ence of this race to that of the Indian, he proposes to commence with— " Lo ! the poor Corvus Another Subterranean Wonder. At La Crosse they have been boring an artesian well. At the depth of two hun dred and eighty feet the workmen at the well became sensible of a remarkable change going on with the bore; the drill had been working through a substratum of dark porous rock for five hours, and had been making rapid progress, when sudden ly the machinery stopped, the rods became violently agitated, and a deafening explo sion ensued, followed by a stream of boil ing water, gushing with mighty force through the tube from the depth below.

The police of that city Lave caught a man named Phillips, who is found to have made a fair living for some time past, by forging certificates of death. lie looked up advertisements for missing relatives, called upon the advertisers, handed in a certificate of death, and pocketed the reward. Ho made ono missing gentleman die at Deptford, and another, by an ingenious variation of place, at Stan - more, by the breaking of a blood-vessel. Soon after the certificate had been received and paid for, the dead men came to life again, to the great joy of their friends. This induced the authorities to put an advertisement in the papers promising a liberal reward to any one who would reveal the whereabouts of the swindler, which resulted in his arrest. •• Ilio['critic in Meetisa."

Corn, for fattening animals and maintain ing animal heat, during cold weather, excels all other grain. It requires strong digestive powers when fed in quantities; and for feed to all kinds of stock, at every age, is ill adapted. As food for young and growing animals, requiring a diet rich in forming; hone and m usele, it is bad economy, unless for market. Oats, peas and beans promote groyth and tbr this reason should form the grain feed for growing - animals, Oxen and 'horses can be made to perform much more labor, and cows will yield more and richer milk, on a generous diet of corn-meal ; but In the long run, it affects their health. The horse needs richer food than the ox, and will bear it; yet corn, under all circumstances, is not the grain. Some of the ill effects of a course of high feeding the horse upon corn are seen in a dull eye, dry skin and rough coat. To roadsters, particularly in warm weather, when liable to be overheated by exertion, it gives a tendency to greater heat, and to laying on fat; when a diet is needed simply to repair waste muscle, oats, dry hay and carrots are the most appropriate feed for fast-driving horses. For draught horses, whose motions are slow, the bad effects of a meal are not as apparent ; still a mixture of other grain, ground with corn, is much better. LIME AitOuxn Aretx Titers.—The Cin cinnati Enquirer says : "We have known some farmers make it a regular practice for a succession of years to throw caustic lime around their apple trees in the spring and. summer. We once noticed that a tree standing in the immediate vicinity of our dwelling had all at once put forth with renewed energy, and we were at a loss for some time to define the cause. On examina tion we found that a quantity of lime, which had accidentally been spilled, and rendered worthless by becoming mixed with the refuse on the stable door, had been thrown at the foot and around the trees, and to this, as the principal cause, we im mediately accredited the revivescence and renewed fructification of the tree. Taking the hint front the incident, we purchased twelve casks of lime, and ap plied half a bushel to each of the trees in our orchard, and found that it produced immediate) beneficial effects. Not the health of the trees only, but the quality of the fruit also was greatly improved. This application will be especially beneficial in soils where there is a redundancy of vege table mutter. We would advise our farmers in some places, especially In now forest lands recently cleared, and on low lands, to make trial of this experiment and see whether it is not deserving of the high recommendation it secures." FARMING it •run WEST.—It is a pleasing sign of the times, that much more attention is being paid to the employment of married labor on farms. That the want of houses and steady work, adapted to this class of farni-haml.4,-ims heed the'great cause of-the difficulty of getting farm-work done, is daily more apparent. There are hundreds of excellent married men in- every town, ready and willing 10 go to the West, or anywhere, for every score of single men, who aro every ready to go and try their fortune anywhere, except on a farm. We hail occasion recently to advertise for a married man to live on a farm of ours, near Philadelphia, and had over fifty appli cants, most of whom were evidently men of character, and willing to work for far less wages than the cost of a single man with his board would come to ; and we were more than ever satisfied, from this experiment, that, with houses and steady work, any farmer will soon draw :twat' front the cities all the labor he wants, without much appeal for it. PLANT strawberries this month. lit spite of all that lots been said to the contrary. we have become convinced that it is far more profitable to produced 200 bushels nil a single acre titan to devote four acres to that quantity. To this end, plant one foot apart each way, and after one or two hoeing,: spread over a coat of manure, and, after a few rains, mulch the ground so as to keep down the grass and weeds. If one cannot procure plants enough for a large patch, set some for the purpose of making plants, to enlarge your plantation next year. PAINT ox ExPosEn SUlCFACES.—Exper iments have indicated that paint on sur faces exposed to the sun, will be much more durable if applied in Autumn or Spring, than if put on during hot weather. In cool weather it dries slowly, forms a hard, glossy coat tough like glass, while if applied in warm, the oil strikes into the wood, leaving the paint so . dry that it is rapidly beaten off by rains. PAIISNIPS FRICASSIM.—BoiI the parsnips till tender, serape and cut them in long slices. Make a white sauce of half a cupful of cream, a few spoonfuls of broth, a bit of butter rolled in dour, pepper and salt, and if liked, a little mace or nutmeg. Let the sliced parsnips simmer in the sauce a few minutes before serving. MUrsTARD PLAsTERs.—By using syrup or molasses for mustard plasters, they will keep soft and flexible, and not dry up and become hard, as when mixed with water; It thin paper or flue cloth should come be tw'een the pla.sterand theskiu. The strength of the plaster is varied, by the addition of more or less flour. 31Ancir is the great month for all sorts of work, preparatory to the great results of the year. Make haste with every thing that can be done this mouth, but do not plow clay lauds when wet; they better not be plowed at all.
