My Hoy.
How beautiful he lies
"With pouting rose-bud lip
And half-closed eyes.
While through the'r jetty fringe
You catch a gleam
Blue as the skies.
Above his silken head
One dimpled hand
Is bravely thrown,
The other on his breast
Is doubled as to meet
Gie world alone.
The darling little one,
To my fond heart
Thou art so dear—
A music strain on earth—
A flower of beauteous birth
-My path to cheer.
Hut what's to come to tlice,
.And what wilt thou bring me,
Pleasure or pain?
Rahy, thy way is long,
Darling the waves arc strong,
A nd wild the main.
Temptations must be thine,
Stern wrestlings with thy kind,
Hoy, thou must meet.
< jod shield thee, in that hour,
From every evil power—
Heaven guard I by feet.
Father above, to Thee,
To Thee I bend the knee—
Thy aid implore:
My boy to Thee I firing,
i'ako him beneath Thy wing,
1 ask no more.

MathcS for Horses. —The following
receipt was given by it celebrated stee
ple chaser: Take a feed of oats, a
double handful of linseed for each i
horse, and boil for three hours j then \-
turn into a large tub or earthenware '
pan, and add as much bran, with just
enough warm water to moisten'the
whole through ; put a cloth over it and i
let it stand an hour, then mix it well i
and feed as soon as it is cool enough, j
I'liis mash is very useful when horses
are in a hard condition,'dry up'and ;
grow thin in spite of continual feeds ;
of corn. 1 give it once a week all the i
year round, but oftoncr if required by :
any particular horse. A few beans j
may be boiled with the corn if the !
horse is in a very low ci^dition.
Table of Measure of hand. — Know- '
ing the difficulty often experienced !
by farmers and others, in laying oil
small parcels of land to be used in i
making an experiment in growth ol
crops, or application of manures—l j
have prepared a small table of ineas- ,
tires, in tiie simplest form, which may ■
be useful to the readers of your paper, j
It will be seen by reference to the j
plan that a practice sometimes follow-'
ed by fanners is very erroneous; if
the side of a square containing one
acre measures 20S !U feet, one half that
length will not make a square contain- !
ing one-half an acre, hut only one- !
fourth an acre, and one third the length |
of line will enclose a square of one- !
ninth an acre, and one-fourth the line, !
squared, will contain one sixteenth an
acre, and so on, the square of the f rac- j
tion of the. line taken will give the ,
part of an acre enclosed.
ONE ACRE CONTAINS
1 c) . [liar.- r.'.k-; 4<4 .qttar yarls: 43.360 square feet.

30.25 square yards; 272.25 square Dot.

• MISCELLAnNTY.
iSUFFRAGE AND WHISKY.
The people of the District of Colum-'
bia voted against the extension of'suff
rage lo the negroes. Wo will suppose , '
that the objections to negro suffrage
which influenced the enlightened and '•
patriotic population of the national
Capital and its environs, were not mere ■
prejudices, bat arising from eonsidera- j
lions of public policy. This is cer- •
tainG" putting a very favorable con-1
struetion upon their actions, but it will! 1
suffice for our purpose. Let it be un- !
dcratood then tiiat it was because tlicy i
believed that the negro is unfit to ex- '
ercisc the rights white people possess j
that he is ignorant, debased, turbu- 1
lent, unpatriotic, any or all of these 1
things and more too. We should, then, j
expect that this community, which is (
so afraid that the ballot box might be j <
corrupted would present averyadmir-! t
able exhibition ot morality and sober- i
ness, and that especially would it be i
anxious to eradicate all those evils!
which, by corrupting public morals,'
are the greatest foes of free institu
tions. If this is so, there is no finer j
field for the exercise of such a patriot- j
ic and philanthropic spirit than the j '
District of Columbidf exhibits, as the ' 1
following will show: The committee j
appointed by the National Temper
ance Congress to gather facts and fig- J
arcs report that the revenue to the lo- j
cal authorities of the district from the j
licensing of liquor dealers was over '
$75,000 lor lS- ); tho Government lax
amounted to about the same sums,
niA'w.ng the total local and national
SI! ! ® V'° m , tlult sourcc ,norc than
"' I' 1 Diat year. The number
of liquor shops licensed is sixteen bun
died, or one to about every seventy in
i habitants men, women and babies in
j eluded; allowing two thirds to be fc
, m.i is and children; this gives one
; liquor simp for about every twenty
i three adult male inhabitants. The
committee think tiut §ls per day is a
I ,/mn n u VCrago 0f tho salt ' s of these
• - - bar-rooms, which will give §25-
Gth) per day for the whole ruimber, or
near >'<,ooo,ooo per annum. Our es
timate is below that of the committee
as we have taken only round numbers,'
its total being about tdeven million in
stead ot eight. Tiesc astonishing
: figures'are from relholc authority, and
they present a pictoie of the national
i Capital which is modifying to the pa
| triot, and a disgrace to 'the whole
j country
i The annual report tf the New Yoik
Prison Association, hlkws that in 180J
there was in the city of New York,
; one liquor saloon toevq-y one hundred
i and four inhabitants./ In the District j
there is one to every seventy. Let

Remarkable Case of Traßca—A Lady Rises
ircm her Cefpn,
I A lady residing withfa sixteen miles
ot iiuleigli, N. C., say: the Progress,
who had been in delicate health since
she lost her husband in IBSS, died last !
I'liday. (as was suppled.) and her!
friends in the neighborlood, proceeded !
.to take the usual stepson such occa-
I sions. The coffin was ordered, the 1
corps shrouded and luit out, and all j
needed preparations consummated for j
I the funeral ceremonies last, Sabbath.— !
i Strange as it may appesr, it is said j
that while the watchers ii an adjoin- j
ing room were indulgingin hilarity j
and hot coflce, a noise was hurd in the i
ajiartment where tiie remans of the j
beloved departed reposed.
Supposing a cat o. a rat wat playing !
therein, a gentleman went to Mop the
revelry. On opening the door be was 1
horrified' to find the lady standing cn |
the floor, the very incarnation of pew- i
plexity. Ibo brave fellow hastily re- j
treated, iiin Jvim oveited 1
the re>t of the party, and the whole i
crew, shrieking and trembling, desert
ed tho house for a season. An elderly
negrcss, more courageous than the 5
others, went into the dwelling, ascer- i
tained the .state of affairs, and with j
christian heroism, administered to the
necessities of the dead-alive one.
Search was then made for the re
treaters, who being found at a neigh
bor's, returned to the domicil they had
so shamefully abandoned.
Dr. Polle, formerly of Greenville, S. I
C., who lias attended the lady during I
the past six months, assures us that 1
these arc • unvarnished facts, and pre-j
sent no new truths to the medical pro- j
fession. It is simply a case of sus- >
pended animation. The only remark- !
able circumstance, perhaps, is the :
duration of the spell, though, after her j
presumed decease, the absence of that j
perfect icyness, which is peculiar to
the dead, was remarked by her physi- j
cians as well as her friends.
The lady is now sitting up, and being !
in the last stages of consumption, is as j
well as she ever will be. She remem- j
hers very little of the hour of her
trance, but experienced an almost I
painful thirst in the first moments of
returning conscious ness.
St ran ye History. —Some years ago a
native of Xewburyport, now residing i
in Boston, met there a man intoxicat- I
ed and in want. The man said he had
been led away, and was desirous of
assistance. ILe was 'taken in, and
when sober money was furnished him ;
to return to his home in New York.
Recently that man, ever after sober
and respectable, died rich, and recol
lecting the kindness shown him by the
man who acted the part of the good ;
Samaritan, bequeathed him 830,0U0.
An Omitted Verse. —On Ash Wednes
ncsday of this year, says the New Or
leans Advocate, religious services were
held in St. Paul's Protestant Episco
pal Church of that city, on which oc
casion the officiating clergyman select
ed the fifty-ninth hymn, which was
singularly appropriate to the day, but
requested tiie congregation to oiuit
the third verse, which is as follows :
"And ean'st Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive,
And bid my crime remove?
And shall a iiardon'd REBEL live
To speak l'hy wondrous love?*

The Pt II la 11 Head ten ire.
I he New York Newt publishes two letters!,
covering nearly a page of the paper, giving
ft circumstantial account of the escape of
James Stephens, Head Centre of the "Fe
n>ans, from Dublin, which is alleged to have
occurred on the evening of Sunday, 4th
;of March inst. One account alleges that ho
left an obscure hotel Dublin,driven off in an
an per.four-horsccarriage, withouiridere,and
five occup.nts beeides th Head Centre.—
Both correspondents, who write very much
alike, concur in the statement that' Dublin
lias not been illuminated in consequence of
the escape, and that tha exultation of the j
Irish Fenians is repressed, and confine I to
| inner rej.doings, for obvious reasons. The 1
I occupants of the carriage are sai l to hate i
j been a.l Irish-Americans, except Stephens,
fully armed with revolvers, and that tha out
riders were equally well provided with the
means of defense. The account adds:
'Fortunately for afi parties, however, no
necessity for resorting to these desperate ex
tremities arose, aud Stephens, with his com
panions readied the end of their land jour
ney, a eaudy cove about half a mile distant
from Skerries, in perfect safety at about 10
o c>ock. Here they speedily effected coin
imirucAimn through the medium of a fishing
smack with the vessel which was lying to a
short distance seawards, and which had
been engaged for the work uf taking Stephens
off, and before daybreak on Monday he was
lor at sea,beyond (he power and jurisdiction
'fins enemies, on his way to America. The
; bark which carried 'Ceasar and his fortunes'
was a sailing vessel, an i her course, afier
| leaving the Irish shore, was steered for 'the
| sunnv land of France.' Stephens, it is aud
| ed, left Irclind unaccompanied bv anv of
| those who had escorted him from Dublin ,
j the whole of whom dfove back to this city
i on Sunday night.'
| Oiler versions of the escape declare that 1
the lUad Centre was not driven to Skerries
but to Kingstown, where he embarked '
on lolrj a steam-tug, which afterwards
trar.sfVrre 1 him to a Marge American sieani- 1
er, whiev then proceeded at lull speed to
New \OK.' The Head Centre does not an
j pear to ave arrived in this country yet
| though h ought at least to have made as
quick it rip as the Correspondent's letter
which lift some four days afier the alleged 1
date of Ir. Stephens s departure. The pre- g
