ITOOPLAN.II'S GERMAN TONIC
Is a combination of all the ingredients of
the Bitters, with the purest quality of &vita
Cruz Burn, Orange, &c., making one of the
most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever
offered to the public.
Those preferring a medicine free from Al
coholic admixture, will use

Those who have no objection to the com

ITOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
They or; both equally g,ood and coici,ain
the same medicinal virtues, the choice be

the Tonic being the most palatable.
The Stomach, from a variety of causes,
such as 'lndigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Debility, etc., is very apt to have its
functions deranged The Liver, sympa
thizing as it does with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of
which is that the patient suffers from sev

Constipation, Flatulenee,ln ward Piles, Fit I

the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn,
Disgust for Food, Fulness or

"Father Forgive Thera, for They

The following verses were composed
. 'itbrtilitlity years ago, by Moses igAer.fikx,
Esq., an attorney of Harrisburg, of eminent
ability, on the words, " Father forgive
then!, for they know not what they do."
Luke xxiii. 31.
Come, mourning soul, rejoice, le glad,
Drive every fear away;
Come, listen to the dying Gail,
And hear a Saviour pray.
Legions of Angel, were his own,
Obedient to his word,
With zeal, Lb' immortal warriors burned,
To vindicate their Lord.
Michael, or Heaven's own armies Prince,
Thou Mast no succor bring,
Nor grasped thy spear, Hell's terror onee,
To save thy Nuilertng Ktng.
To earth no thunders dared to roll,
No vengeful flame appears;
Tho thy beloved Jehovah bleeds,
And Heaven is all in tears,
For him no warrior angels fought,
No thunders rolled abroad;
For meek-eyed love their vengeance elm hied
Fart to the throne of God.
"Father, forgive them," Jesus cried,
Let vengeance not pursue;
' Father, forgive them," was his prayer,
"They know not what they do."

through the air to meet the first warm r.tys
of the returning stile, the Soft south winds
and the birds, to hasten them. And all
came making glad haste—tame to deck the
altars with lichens and dowers—came with
rich fragrance and merry Music.

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

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—

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 startled workmen wore blinded by
clouds of steam. Goorge Haves, the work
man in charge of the drill at the time, ham]
a very narrow escape. He received a jet.
of boiling water on his neck and breast, but
was partially protected by heavy wollea
clothing. Others were more or less injured.

1 Dead Swindle.
A new swindle tins been developed in
London. 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.

Core for Stock.
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. Get in oats as early as
