The Great Remedies for all Diseases of the
LIVER, STOMACH, OR DIGESTIVE

HOOPLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Is composed of the pure juices, (or, as they
are medicinally termed, Extracts,)
of Roots, Herbs, - Er and Barks, mak

admixture of any hind.
1100FLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
Is a combination of all the ingredients of
the Bitters, with the purest quality of &MAC
OM:I. : Bum, Orange, ‘tc., 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
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
-Those who have no objection to the com
bination of the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain
the same medicinal virtues, the choice be
tween the two being a mere matter of taste,
the Tonic being the most palatable.
The Stomach, from a variety of causes,
such as Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Debility, etc., is very apt to have its
functions deranged eh The Liver, sympa
thizing as it does 1, j with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of
which is that the patient snffers from sev

Constipation, Flatulence,ln ward Piles, Fut.

the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn,

Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh,

The sufferer from these diseases should
exercise the greatest caution in the selection
of a remedy for his case, purchasing only
that which he is as cured from his in

true merit, is skill fully compounded,

PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE,
And feeling the hand of time weighing heav
ily upon them, with •ill its attendant ills,
will Lind in the use of this BITTERS, or the
TONIC, an elixir that will instil new life
into their veins, restore in a measure the
energy and ardor of more' youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms; and give
health and happiness to their remaining
years.
It is a well-established fact that fully one
half of the female' portion of our pop
ulation are seldom T i in the enjoyment of
good health ; or, to
pression, "Never feel well." They
are languid, devoid of all energy, extreme
ly nervous, anal have no appetite.
To this class of persons the BITTERS, or
the TONIC, is especially recommended.
WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN
Are made strong by the use of either of
these remedies. They will cure every
case of MARASMUS, without fail.
Thousands of certificates have accumulated
in the hands of the proprietors, but space

Those, it will be observed, are men of note,

Where thousands went hurrying by,

Author of "The Ashleys," "The Golden
Lion," "The Beauforts," "The old House
on the Iludson," ttc.,
CHAPTER IV
MTVPRMZWIR%MrMnZINW=M
The countenance of Charles Berkeley
brightened when May entered„.tNlliim.*: -
lie remembered how she had looked when
ho saw her in childhood, and then he had
thought her a wild little Gipsy, rude in her
manner, and decidedly wilful, obstinate,
and capricious: now he saw before hint a
beautiful girl, modest: and timid, just
blushing into womanhood, like a lovely
Lower unfolding its delicate leaves. Ho
thought he detected if faint Much of sadness
in the tone of her voice when she spoke,
and there was sorrow hidden beneath the
smiles that illuminated her brow. Charley
Berkeley was a good physiognomist. lie
had studied human nature until lie flattered
himself he could rend what was passing in
a persons mind, by 'watching the changes
that came over their face while conversing
with them, and he was :satisfied that May
had known sorrow, although he was un
able to conjecture what had caused it. Ire
resolved, if ever opportunity otroro.;, t o
question her about it. •
Blanche watched him closely when Sir
Richard piesented May. She thought her
cousin was more pleased to see May than
he had been when she came in. he ad
vanced to meet
. her, and clasped. lts.zos
t.espded_band, hopling,it mattyrroinuk÷;,
he led her to a seat. After they sat down,
Charles seemed to forget there was any
person present but themselves.
Sir Richard was pleased when he saw
how kindly his nephew greeted May on
her entrance, and after they had seated
themselves ho tried to diminish her embar
rassment and restore her confidence, by
taking the burden of the conversation on
himself.
Blanche glanced at her cousin spitetuly,
but seeing he was too much interested to
heed her, she arose, and tossing her ltetul
disdainfully, she left the apartment. The
door closed behind her; not gently, nor
softly, but with a shock that made the
windows rattle. Charles Berkeley looked
at his uncle, and May thought she detected
a sneer curling his lip. Sir Richard com
prehended the meaning that his nephew
intended to convey to him, for he said :
"That is nothing: she has not shown
you what she is made of yet. lam almost
afraid of her sometimes."
" I shall not like her any better for what
I have seen, I can assure you. tinele
Richard. lam disappointed in I}"er, far—:
imagined she was like my aunt, the Tandy
Madeline."
" No, no, not a bit," said Sir Richard;
" would to heaven she was like loving,
gentle Madeline; then old Dick Berkeley
would be a happy nian. I'll go and look
after her, you and May can manage very
well together until I return, I ihney."
May blushed, and Charles said, laughing,
" I,'Ve will not quarrel while you ace
absent, will we May ?"
" I hope not, sir."
Sir Richard closed the dour behind him,
muttering; "Now there will be the very
devil to pay, as soon as Blanche finds out I
loft my nephew and May alone together.
No man has us inuen trouble as I have. I
was born unto trouble even as the sparks
fly upward. Oh! it' Madeline had• been
spared, I might have been happy; but now
I wouldn't care if I broke my neck at the
nest fox. hunt. What is lilt• without some
one to love us? poor, lost Madeline."
" You do not recollect seeing mo at-
Berkeley Hall, many years ago, when you
and Blanche were children, do you?" asked
Charles after his uncle had left them.
" Cth, yes ; I have at Win remembrance ut
your being here, but we were not together
then, and I had almost forgotten you."
" I supposed so. Blanche was nay favorite
then, although site was a spiteful little
minx ; hateful obstinate. She
hasn't altered much since, hats she ?"
" I cannot answer your question, you
must. judge for yourself, sir.' Ilio young
ollicer bit his lip, while his companion
added, "if you desired any presence in
order •to catechise me concerning the
merits and demerits of the lady Blanche, L
will retire ; for you will gain little informa
tion from me."
" Nay, not so fast! Du net leave ; but
pardon my thoughtlessness. I trust I have
not offended you."
" No, you have not."
" Frankly spoken, \liss May ; and now
I will speak of something else." Ile
gazed thoughtfully at her a moment, and
then drew his chair nearer. " Are yon
happy here ?" he asked in low tones.
"Do you think I am unluippy ?" Her
dud: oyes beamed full upon Lim.
" You have not answered my question
yet," lie said, smiling ; " bat I will-answei
yours. ido think you are unhappy:
I right?"
She looked at him again, wondering why
be, a stranger, should question her thus.
Her bosom rose and fell like troubled waves,
the rosy cheeks, paled, the pouting* lips
quivered, and tears dimmed her eyes. She
strove in vain to' speiik, but her emotion
crushed the words, and a mournful wail
escaped her lips, as she arose and hurried
from the room ere be had' time to detain
her.
Charles Berkeley sat for several moments
Ike one bewildered, gazing at the window
against which the rain drops were beating
thick and fast; then he started suddenly to
his feet, muttering as ho paced to and fro,
"By heaven ! My suspicions have been
correct. Uncle Dick is an old fool ; if he
was not, ho would hivie discovered what I
have, long ago. What I know' I will keep
to myself; and whatl don' I know I will
soon learn. By , Saint George !" I'll feather
my nest.before long as sure as lam called
Captain Berkeley : Ha! ha ! , ha ! Golden
prospects aro ahead, and there is nothing
in my way but a silly girl, and,a dotingold
man, and such obstacles are easily remov
ed. Hist ! Some ono comes—now I must
wreathe my brow with smiles, and play
the dissemblers part, while my Jupes little
imagine I tun acting the cunning hypo
crite."
A sneer curled Charles Berkeley's lips,
as he seated himself to await the entrance
of his uncle or cousin. " 0 , 3
The day passed away, and with it the
storm. Cloudless and clear was the skies
at ?dglt. And the brilliant stars gemmed its
blue breast, sparkling- like diamonds to
the gaze. The evening breeze murmured
soft and low as it wandered amid the
branches of the trees in the park,: and no
traces of the storm remained to mar the
beauty of the quiet scene. The light shone
brightly from the windows of the library,
and Sir. Richard was conversing with his
guest, while the Lady Blanche was listeu-
Mg with interest to the animated conversa
tion. Neither of the trio thou - ght of poor
May then. They did not see the. muffled
form that stole noiselessly from the door of
the great mansion, Moving rapidly down'
the steps, gliding swiftly along the dark
avenue until it • reached the roadside, and
then it ran on lbster and faster, leaving, in
a few moments, Berkeley Hall far behind.
It was May leaving her home, to go, she
knew not whither. When she left Charles
'in the library, she hastened to her chamber,
and after securing the door, she threw her-
self on her couch, weeping bitterly.
Weary, and almost heart-broken, for her
sorrow had been crushing life and hope
from her heart for many years, she at length
fell asleep. She was awakened by a knock
on'the — doorof her chamber. Starting up,
she inquired: "Who is there?''
"Only me,'Miss May."
It was the housekeeper's voice.
" Tea is ready, and Sir Richard wants
you to come down."
" I cannot, Mrs. Laramie, for my head

Sir Richard I have lain down, will you?"
"Yes, my child; but shall I bring you
a cup of tea ?"
"No, the you ! If I feel any better I
will come down soon."
' Very well," said Mrs. Laramie as she
walked away.
May went to the window and gazed oat.
The sun was sinking slowly in the West,
and the dark. storm clouds were rolling
away in broken tuasses, leaving the blue
visible here and there where they parted.
"There is rest in heaven," she murmur
ed ; unending, eternal rest. Oh! when
shall it be mine ?" Clasping her hands,
she gazed tearfully upward, and her lips
moved us if in prayer. How beautiful she
looked as she thus stood, robed in spotless
\vitae ; her dark eyes sparkling through

supplication ascended to h'eaven: Jlcautir
ful in her youth and innocence—beautiful
in her loneliness—lovely, mournfully love
ly in her sorrow. When she became calm,
she turned from the window with a look of
settled determination resting on her
feat urea.
" I will go this very night," she'ekclaim
ed resolutely, "for I cannot stay here
longer. Amu I not told each day lam eat
ing the bread of dependence? Ant not
called a low-born thing—a giPsy—an out

Darkness was fast settling down upon the
world, and May proceeded at once to her
wardrobe to select a few articles of wearing
apparel, such as she would most need.
This was soon done; and after she 'had
crowded thew into a small satchel, she put
on her hut and shawl : then putting her
pnr,c in her pocket, she sat down on an
ottoman to Wait until the darkness deepen-

lingering look at the great Hall, and then
- with a sigh the fair fugitive started on her
way, hastening along the road that led to
London.
Out on the highway, aloue and unpro

each step increasing the distance between

Lord Clifllint's carriage entered London
early in the evening, and when it reached
Cook's Court, Arthur Melville bade his
Lordship adieu, bowed politely to Lady
CI Ilford, and got out.
"You have toy address;" said the noble
man, " and you will call and see rne. You
have saved toe front being robbed, and
murdered, lbr aught I know, and I ant
anxious to reward you for your bravery.
You will not accept gold—perhaps I can
aid you in some other way. Adieu."
The gentleman waved his hand„ Mid the
carriage rolled on, until it halted in front.
of a handsome mansion in , Lennox Square.
Here my Lord and Lady alighted. ;
" Have you the prisoner tied so that he
cannot break his bonds?" inquired his
Lordship, as ho looked up at, the burly
coachman.
"Aye mu.; I guess so; but let break
'is boMs Wand Ell break 'is 'ead."
"You are certain that you can conduct
him safely to prison' without. assistance?"
" Aye, master, - and' if I couldn't; why;
there be honkers bon lievery corner to 'elp
Inc." 114 • -
"That's true; away with him. I'll at
tend to his • case on the morrow. Now;
madam, We will go in," he said, turning to
Lady Clifford. His Lordship thought she
looked paler than Usual, and ho asked,
"Are you Agnes? I had Battered thy
self our ride had done you good. Are you
ill, Agnes ?" He was alarmed, for her
face was ghostly pale as the light from the
lamp fell upon it. ,
"Ill; yes, I am ill; I have been ill many
long years, but no one knows the , nature of
my disease so well as my husband. • My
brain is almost crazed, and my, heart is al
most crushed'neath the weight of its bitter
- woe. Life is a burden to me, and each day
adds one more drop 'to the cup of misery
that my hand holds to 'my, lips. I will
drain it to the dregs, and when I, die, thou
art the 211Urderer." •
"Hush 1 Agnes, are you mad ? You are
in a public street.. This is no place for such
language. Let us go in, for God's sake."
He 'offered • her his arm, but the proud
woman darted at him a look' of scornful
malice, and swept haughtily past
ascending_ tliti steps of the terrace
aided.
Lord Clifford frowned, and bit. his lip; as
he followed her into the mansiofi. HiS en
tered his private apartment,--add. ordered
wine.. He'sat alone, moodily rUisitig; Sip
ping the exhilerating beverage at broken'
intervals, when a light footstep startled
him. Ho looked'up. Lady Clifford stood
before him.
" This is kiud of you, Agnes," said the
gentleman ; " it is not often you come to
sit with me in my own oppartment. 'Wait
get my easy chair for you—there, sit
down near me." She obeyed.,
" I have come to torment you, she said.
"Do you remember our bridal eve, Guy
Clifford?"
" Yes, well."
".When we were wedded, was I not
young and beautiful light hearted and
gay ?"
" Agnes Sutherland was the fairest,
maiden in the land,"replied her companion,
proudly.
" And now what am I? lam a broken
hearted woman ; the shadow of my former
self—a shattered wreck, unloved, uncured
for, childless and alone."
" Not, alone, Agnes. I have never de
serted you." .
"Sooner would I be alone, than live as I
have lived for many long years. Did you,
ever see that miniature ? Look at it well,
and then answer me."
He took the locket from her hand, and as
he held it in the light, the jewels
,with
which it, was adorned flash'sdund sparkled
brilliantly. She eyed him steadily, while
he gazed at the picture, eyed hint steadily,
with a look of satisfactory ''malice. It was
the likeness of a young and
, heautiful girl,
simply attired in a white muslin dress. A,
gipsy hat, was jauntily perched on one side
of the head, and rich masses of wavy
tresses iling down on'tier shoulders. An,
exprossimi or .chilii-mie - itiziobertee 'rested -
on her features. In her hand she held a
full blown rose. Lord Clifford's hand
began to tremble as he gazed. Ire was
growing nervous and uneasy. The rich
blood crimsoned his face for an instant,
and then he became deathly pale. Iris
voice was husky as he asked, " How came
this in your possession, Agnes? ,
"You have seen it before, then. The
features aro familiar," she said.
" I have seen it before; what matters is
if I have?"
" You knew the original, did you not ?"
" I did. She was betrothed to a young
friend of mine, whose name was Melville.
He marreid the girl, although she was his
inferior in rank and birth. The affair was
kept secret for reasons best known to
themselves. Shortly after their. marriage,
young Melville went to America. Ho MIS
taken ill and died there. I was traveling
through the State's at Ilmt !Arne; and fortu
nately I chanced to stop at the hotel where
he was. To me he revealed the secret of
his marriage, and , the day before he died,
he gave me this miniature, making me
promiseT would find his bride, and give
it to her when I returned to London. lle
gave me her address, and I put it in' my
trunk, .fearing I might lose it. Thu next
day'he died, and after seeing hint laid in
his grave, I started for merry England.
When I reached London, I went Mune
diately to see Mrs. Melville, and tell her
e sad news. 1 had little difficulty in
finding the place where she resided, but
she was not there. She had gone away
about a week before. I made' inquiries
concerning' her, but no person could: tell
e' where star had gone. Twenty years
have gone, by since then, and although I
taro tried in various ways to learn. saute
thing about her,
.1 have failed to do so. The
miniature still remains in my possession,
and when I gaze on the features of her who
was his bride, I cannot hide my emotion,
for ho was very dear to me. Take the
picture, Agnes, and put it back where you
got if."
1,. low, scornful laugh broke from the
lady's lips, and she snatched the minia
ture fiercely from his extended hand. In
an instant it lay on the costly carpet be
fore her. "Thus do I trample upon it,
even as you have trampled on my young
heart's purest and holiest- affection," she
cried ; and ere he could prevent her, it was
crushed beneath her foot. Gold, glass and
joy els , were ground together, and laughing
again exultingly, she stood with clenched
hands and 'dashing e'es before him. Lord
Clifford was enraged.. •started, up,
grasping her firmly by_the arm.
"How dare you act thus in'infpresence?"
lie demanded, sternly: "By heaven! 'yen'
will repent this rash fict! - LeaVe me; and
anger me not, lest I strike you." He flung
her rudely tram him 113 he spoke. She
staggered backward a few paces, and then
advanced again-.
"Strike!" :alio exclaimed, folding her
arms across her heaving breast, while her
Oandsotne features were livid with pas
. "Strike, coward; foul image of a
man! strike thy wronged and injured wife

avenge the insult. Let me but whisper one
wot d against thee in Sir Mortimer Suther
land's ear,let me tell him of thy unmanly
threat,und his dagger would soon be buried
in thy blaelt heart. Ile loves thee not
overmuch now—therefore beware!"
The haughty noble quailed before the
fearless woman, 'for he knew well that Sir
Mortimer ,hated him. Sir 'Mortimer had
quarreled with him when they were both
boys, and Guy had struck him sensehtbs
and bleeding to the earth. Since that time
neither,of them had spoken, and even alter
Lord Clifford had wedded his sister, Sir
.Mortimer aeknoWleilged his relation with

times.• I forgive you for what you have
done, but you will acknowledge it was an
act of which you are ashamed, will you
net ?" •
' "No,"•hissed Lady Clifford. " I would
trample her under my feet were she hero !
Think you I em fool enough to believe the
tale that you told me a moment ago? You
deceive yourself, Sir, for I know it to be
false. I have a letter in my possession
that I found in a seeret'drawer of your cab
inet while you were idling your time away
at the court. I purloined it by the use of
keys that I had made by a skillful lock
smith, and after perusing the contents of '
the delicately penned missive, I learned
that Lord Clifford and Arthur Melville
were one and the same person. Will you
deny it? Can you deny it? Darc you
deny it ?"
• The guilty man • trembled• from head to
foot when ho heard this startling accusa
tion from the lips of injured innocence.
With a groan he sank heavily-in his chair.
The scathing words had reached his heart,
r stinging like an adder to the very core, and
he did, not dare to raise his eyes. Lady
Clifford.regarded the cowering, wretch be
fore her with malicious joy; and then com
ing close to his side, sho again spoke: " Do
you.wonder now because I am - unhappy ?
I loved you (MCC, Guy Clifford ; loved you
fondly, passionately, devotedly. Your
baseness, cruelty and deception has been
the means of - turning my love into bate!"
A withering fire dashed .from her dark
eyes while SllO spoke, and when she had
ended he made no-reply, but, sat as -though
bowed down with- remorse .and shame.
"Guy. Clifford, the youth who rescued us
when we were attacked on the highway by
robbers, was your son. Well did I watch
him as we rode towards London, and when
we entered the city, when the glare of the
lamps revealed to my gaze his counte
nance, I started, for every lineament resem
bled thine own. Aye, Lord Clifford,
Arthur Melville is thy own child ; and he
inherits the name you assumed when you
deceived and wronged his mother. I saw
you tremble, I saw your cheeks pale when
ho told you his name. In vain you en
deavored to hide your emotion and ap
pear calm ; but you could not conceal your
agitation from me. Look up, man !" She
laid her hand on his shoulder and shook
him.
"Leave me, leave me !" ho cried,
you will drive me mad."
"I will not leave you. I'll haunt you
clay and night, whispering in your ear the
story of my wrongs," she said, resolutely.
"I will follow you 'wherever you go, and
you shall never know a moment's happi
ness. You have made my life miserable,
and thine shall be equally as wretched. I
will make ynu my stare, and if you refuse
to do my bidding, the world shall hear the
story of my wrongs, and you shall be en

'shall be hurled upon thee, and my brother's
'hand shall Wipe out the foul blot that bus
tarnished his sister's honor. Base in- ,

image of 'man! I hate' thee; I loathe, I
abhor thee, and may the curse of Heaven

curse. Devils will grin with delight when
'thy sin-stained soul leaves the foul casket
of clay that has been Its abode on earth.
" My God ! I shall go mad," hoarsely
exclaimed the wretched man, starting wild
ly up.
Lady Clifford stood betbre hint. "Stand
aside," said Sir Guy.
" I have more to say ere I leave thee."
"1.13- Heaven ! I will not listen to thee,"
shouted the infuriated man. He thrust
her aside and hastened from the room,
leaving her standing in the middle of the
floor, pale and trembling with passion.
" Ile has gone to his chamber," she ;nat
tered; " and I will follow him. Sleep shall
not seal his eyes to-night." Gathering up
her thin' robe, she left the apartment, to
begin anew her torment; while a mocking
laugh broke from her lips as she closed the
door behind her.
TO AB CONTINUED
Sing Away Your Grief.
Henry Ward Beecher gives the following
excellent advice :
We can sing away our cares easier than
we can reason them away. The birds aro
the earliest , tossing in the morning ; the
birds are more without care than anything
else I know of. Sing in the evening. Sing
ing is the last thing that robins do. When
they have done their daily work —when
they have flown their last flight, and pick
ed up their last morsel of food, and
cleansed their bills on a napkin of a bough,
then ou a top twig, they sing ono song of
praise. I know they sleep sweeter for it.
They dream music; fur sometimes in the
night they break forth in singing, and stop
suddenly after the itrst note, startled by
their own voice. 0, that we might sing
evening and morning, and let sons touch
song all the .way through. As I was re
turning from the country the other even
ing, between six and seven o'clock, bear
ing a basket of flowers I met a man that
was apparently the tender of a mason. He
looked brick and mortar all over. Ho had
worked the entire day, and he bad the lip-
pearanee of a man that would not be afraid
of work. He was walking on with a light
step, and singing to himself as lie passed
down the street, though be had been work
ing the whole'day, and nearly the whole
week. Were It not that my good thoughts
always conic too late, I should have given
him n large allotment of my flowers. If lie
had not been out of sight when the idea oc
curred to me. I should have hailed him,
and said : '" Have you worked all day I"
"'Of Course T 'have," he would have said.
"Aie' you singing?"' "Of course I tun."
" Then take the flowers home and give
them to your wife, and tell her what a
blessing she has in you."
0, that we could put song under our bur
dens ! 0, that we could extract. the sense.
or sorrow by song ! Then these things
would not poison so much. Sing in the
house. Teach your children to sing.
When troubles come, go at them with
songs. 'When griefs ;arise, sing them down.
Lift the voice of praise against cares.
Praise God bv singing; shut will lift you
above trials of every sort. Attempt it.
They sing in heaven; and among God's
people upon earth, song is appropriate
language of Christian fueling.

Preparing Seed Corn.
Farmers who have not choice corn for
seed already on hand, says the Ohio Farmer,
had better pay five dollars per bushel for
the best
.quality, than to plant inferior
grain, if the latter is obtained for nothing.
A. kind of corn should be selected that
ripens early, fills the cob well to the end,
large sized ears, with deep, plump kernels
and small cob. It is a bad plan to buy
shelled corn for seed, for likely there will
be grains of inferior quality' mixed in, and,
besides, experiment has shown that kernels
from the small end of the ear will always
produce small ears.
An experienced farmer writing upon this
subject says:
"Some ten years ago I planted an ear of
corn to test, the difference between the
•product of the kernels of both ends and the
middle of - the'same - ear;and will give you
the result. The soil wits'ojust alike, the
cultivation -the same, and the crop very
different. I planted the first ; and, second
rows froth the tip or small end, and planted
all the same morning. The large product
fair-sized, ears, with irregular rows, much
as you Rill find them at the end of the ear.
The,middle, kernels produced ears mostly
straight and tiiir. The tips brought forth
nubbins only. There was not a fair ear on
the two rows of corn. Linty° raised corn,
more or less, for forty years and now plant
only. about half, or, ut most, only two
thirds of the kernels on each ear of crorn,
and generally raise good crops."
If the crop can be got into the gronnd
early, it is not advisable to soak the seed
for the purpose of hastening its growth. If
the weather comes on unfavorable fur
planting while the corn is soaking the
sprouts are apt to get so long that they will
be broken off while curried iii the planting
bag, and besides sprouted seed can not be
put in the hand planter, the use of which
very much facilities the labor, and if the
ground is dry, makes the growth of the
seed doubly certain.
Two or three years ago we commenced
planting a field Of corn with the hoe, the
ground was dry, and the labor so great to
obtain moist earth to cover the seed that
we gave up the tusk when the field was
about half planted, and took a hand
planter to finish the work. The result
was the last• half came up perfectly, and
the first had to be more than two-thikls
re-planted. The grain covered with the
loose dirt from the hoe germinated, but by
the atmosphere drying up the loose sprouts
withered amid died.

as you discover that the horse is foundered,
take him to the nearest branch or stream of
water and tie him in it, standing the water
nearly up to his belly—his head being so
high that ho cannot drink. If the weather
IS warm let him stand in the stream SCV
everal hours, then take him 'out, rub his
legs thoroughly to prorbote circulation,
and again tie him in the water, if ho is
stilrlarne. fly repeating this process IWO
or thrtio times the horse will be effectually
cured. •
If the weather is cold when the horse is
foundered, that is, if it Is in the winter, the
horse in ust not be allowed to stand in the
water more than ❑bout twenty minutes at
a time, when he should be taken out and
his legs rubbed diligently till they become
dry and warm and the circulation of the
blood made active, and this process must
be repeated till the horse is cured, which
will be generally within twenty four hours.
This remedy will cost nothing, can do no
possible harm, and will, hi every instance
cure, if the diseitse has not been of too long

A CURE FOR BARACUE.—There is scarce
ly-any ache to which children are subject,
so bad to bear, and so difficult to cure, as
earache. But here is a remedy neyer
known to rail :
Take a bit of cotton butting; put upon it
a pineh of black pepper; gather it up, and
tie it; dip it in 14 %yea oil, and insert it in the
ear. Put a 'flannel bandage over the head
to keep it warm. It will give immediate
relief.
Tim flesh marks, so often made by boy,
nn the skin, by pricking it with a needle
and then rubbing with India Ink, gun
powder, or indigo, are so firmly fixed that
to remove them_ requires severe measures.
Blister the part with a plaster a little larger
than the mark ; keep the place open with
green ointment for it week; finally, dregs
it to get well. With the appearance of the
new skin, the old marks will disappear.
Tun Irish have a very peculiar way or
cooking their potatoes. They never boil
them. A large pot is always on the lire—a

In, and the operation is, in Irish kitchen
phraseology, " backed." The process is
continually repeated till the potatoes are
cooked. Yon get, by this weans, an ad
