$ At the budding of the morn ;
The gun to on the hill-tops,
The dew wns on the thorn ;
The willful, climbing roses,
Above her wore n crown,
And crowned her the queen of maiden
As he came tiding down.
He checked his horse's gnllop,
And lingered by the wny,
Smiling and gazing upon her,
Loath to go and loath to stay :
For he thought : " Since the sweet to-morrow"
Waits on my delays, ,
Prithee why should I sorrow
For a flower that blooms always. .
" Whore she blossoms 1 surely can find her,
Or ever the season takes flight, .
Blushing and smiling behind her '
Lattice, morning and night.
Shall I squander life's early hour,
Ere the dew is dry on the May,
In reaching my band for a flower -
That may be plnckcd any day?"
So he passed. And the snnshine passed with
him,
And the dew dried up on the thoru,
And the roses dropped all their petals.
That had Crowned her the queen at morn ;
But once when bis heart was tried,
And life of Its glory seemed shorn,
lie turned him again to her lattice,
Bnt she and the roses were gone I

Four Cn1nmlllp.
That misfortunes come not as single
fpies, but in battalions, we have illustra
tion in the reports of terrible disasters
in remote parts of the world. First are
the details of the gun cotton explosion
in England, by which twenty-five per
sons were killed and sixty wounded, of
whom one-third will die. Then we have
a steamboat explosion on the peaceful
waters of Chautauqua Lake, when the
boat was quietly resting, and four per
sons are killed and fourteen wounded.
Tne boat was at a landing, precisely as
the Westfield :was, and the probability
is that, rs in the Staten Island Ferry
. case, the engineer was away from his en
gine room, and steam was dangerously
accumulating in his absence. From
Pennsylvania comes another mining hor
ror, to heap up still higher the fearful
record of human life lost by carelessness
and improvidence, and a reckless con
tempt alike for law and for the safety of
individuals. The opening to this mine
was known to be unsafe. There was no
safety car only a ladder. The fire-damp
exploded and buried eighteen men in
the ruined arches brought down by the
concussion. Five victims have been
taken out dead, and the rest have un
doubtedly met the same fate. Again, as
on so many other occasions, the pit
mouth becomes the scene of agony nnd
activity. Women and children gather
with tears and lamentations, and sturdy
men bend to the work of rescue or re
covery with stern and silent energy.
What curses must be suppressed in the
energetio natures of these men, who un
dertake this life of peril, and know that
those who operate the work neglect suf
ficient precautions. Will never a mine
owner face the horrors of fire-damp?
TheBe mine calamities are as frequent as
, they are fearful. To a certain degree
they are inevitable, but they are out of
all proportion in Pennsylvania, and
some Btringent and obligatory legisla
tion is required. But while these fatali
ties occur near home, we real of the ut-
. ter depopulation of an entire island in
the Malay Archipelago. The forces of
nature, exercised in the irrepressible
power of the volcano and the earthquake
made one of the grandest and most aw
ful exhibitions since the Noachian Del
uge. A huge ocean wave, one hundred
and twenty feet high, poured with re
sistless force upon the island, and swept
it clean of every living thing. The phe
nomenon is described as fearful in the
extreme. New craters opened in the
volcano, t and vomited lava, red hot
stones, mud, and ashes into the air and
sea. New hills were formed, and the
whole face of nature was changed. More
than four hundred persons perished.
Nothing could withstand this over
whelming oonvulsion. The Philippine
Islands, where a series of earthquakes
occurred a few weeks ago, are not re
mote from the scene of this frightful ca
lamity, and possibly the two events were
nearly contemporaneous. Dreadful as
are the misfortunes caused by such agen
cies as those over which man holds some
sort of control, they sink into insignifi
cance when compared with the prodi
gious results of the action of nature,
when her well-ordered forces become ec
centrio and work their own wild and
uncontrollable purpose. The flood, the
electric storm, the earthquake shock, the
volcanio overflow dwarf the more mode
rate effects of the forces which man par
tially subdues, but which, taking advan
tage of his ignorance or carelessness or
avarice, turn upon and rend him.
An Alpine Adventure.
Two gentlemen from Bale and three
from Glarus recently made an excursion
into the valley of Lindt, for the purpose
of ascending the Todi, or Piz Buslin,
(11,886 feet), one of the most conspicu
ous of the mountains in Eastern Swit
zerland. On the 25th inst., at 3 o'clock
in the morning, the party left the Orun
horn Hut, built by the Swiss Alpine
Olub, where they had passed the night,
the Fcehn blowing very violently, and
reached the Glacier of Bifferten, after a
very fatiguing walk of three hours, the
Fcehn making the snow so soft that the
feet sank deep into it at each step. On
reaching a very deep and wide crevasse,
which stopped their further progress,
two of the party went some way along
it to see if it grew any narrower, but
their weight caused a large mass of snow
on whioh they were standing to give
way, and they were both pitched head
long into the opening. Their compan
ions, who were sufficiently near to see
the accident, were stupefied with horror
and were some time before they became
sufficiently collected to form any plan
for delivering their unfortunate friends,
if they were still alive, of which they en
tertained but slight hopes, owing to the
depth to which they had fallen. On
cautiously, .drawing near the edge of the
precipice, however, and shouting down,
they at length heard a feeble cry, which
assured them that both at least were not
killed, and being provided with stout
cords, they joined several together, so as
to make a - rope eighty feet long, and
threw it down, but - it was found to be
much too short. -They then added an
other piece, sixty feet long, and on low
ering the rope once more were delighted
to find that it reached the bottom and
became tightened, assuring them that it
had been caught hold by their friends.
After more than an hour's labor they
succeeded in drawing both gentlemen
from their dreadful position, who stated
that they owed their safety to the soft
ened snow which the wind had drifted
into the Crevasse, enabling them to break
the violence of their full. TJtt Bwist

The great sheep-runs of California,
like those of Australia, (nays a corres
pondent), seem to be a kind of mild form
of Botany Bay for their respective moth
er countries. Old Shepherds of long ex
perience iii cither country will tell you
of scores of men, with college and even
university educations, whom thomselves
or their friends have banished " for their
country' good," and who are now gath
ering, their melancholy crops of wild
oats at the same time they watch the
flocks on the hills nibble theirs, llufus
A. Liockwood, one of the greatest and
most erratio geniuses ever soon in Cali
fornia, and whose biography has been
written by Hon. Newton Booth, Repub
lican candidate for Governor, once herd
ed sheep in Australia, and that, too.aftor
be bad become known as one ot the
most brilliant lawyers of San Francisco.
Mr. Cure's overseer told me that, during
a single year, he had employed a bishop's
son, an editor, a banker, a civil engineer,
a priest, and a bookkeeper as shepherds.
Every summer day there are several hot
hours when the restless sheep are com
pelled, for once, to be still, when the
shepherd lolls at his ease beneath a tree,
and you shall not unfrequcntly see him
reading some magazine, or, like Alexan
der the Great, who always carried around
a piece of good literature with him, pe
rusing poems of his own composition
clipped from the village paper.
The shepherds ot Uaiitoruia as a class,
are piobably the most worthless, morally
and socially, the most unprincipled,
reckless and collapsed company of vaga
bonds to be found in any civilized coun
try, unless it be Australia. They are
the riffraff of the world ; vagrant miners,
who gamble away their month's wages
as soon as they draw the same ; runaway
sailors from strips in San Francisco, who
sell their blankets for a pillow-case full
of biscuits, and then get never a pinch
of grub for two days ; measly, old, grog
gy soldiers, who fall asleep under a live
oak, and let the coyotes pull away a
lamb. The good old Biblo word " shep
herd " is not heard in California ; it is
either " wool-grower,"' " ranch ero," or
that most cumbrous and absurd " sheep
raiser," and for the man who does the
work, ho is a " sheep-herder." And
when a man gets so low down as to be a
" Bheep herder " in California, he would
better go and dig a hole in the ground,
insert bis head therein, nnd ask some
pitying friend to cover it up. He is
lower than a Greaser, for this is the
Greasor's natural business that he was
born to, and he is therefore respectable.
Greasers and vagabond Bailors together
have brought the same contempt on
shepherding hero that the niggera have
on all manual labor in the South.
Elephant's Revenge and Urntit title.
The elephant, with a sort of humorous
justice, is given to return injuries or in
sults in kind. In Madagascar, an ele
phant's cornnc, happening to have a co
coa-nut in his hand, thought fit, out of
bravado, to break it on the animal s
head. The elephant made no protest at
the time; but next day, passing a fruit
stand, he took a cocoa-nut in his trunk,
and returned the comae's compliment so
vigorously on the head that he killed him
on the spot.
If vindictive, the elephant is also
grateful. At Pondichorry, a soldier who
treated an elephant to a dram of arrack
every time he received his pay, found
himself the worse for liquor. When the
guard were about to carry him oft to
prison, he took refuge under the elephant
and fell asleep. His protector would let
no one approach, and watched him care
fully all night. In the morniner, after
caressing with his trunk, he dismissed
him to settle with the authorities as best
he could.
Both revenge and gratitude imply in
telligence: still more does the applica
tion of an unforeseen expedient. A train
of artillery going to Seringapatam had
to cross the shingly bed ot a river. A
man who was sitting on a gun-carriage
fell ; in another second the wheel would
have passed over his body. An elephant
walking by the side of the carriage saw
the danger, and instantly, without any
order from his keeper, lifted the wheel
from the ground, leaving the man unin
jured. Suspended from a Burning Balloon.
At the close of the afternoon perform
ance of Grady's circus in Columbus on
Thursday, the 17th, Mr. Charles Fisher
made an ascent in a huge hot-air bal
loon, or rather the balloon went up with
Fisher dangling to a couple of ropes sus
pended below. Immediately blue smoke
was seen to issue from a point on the
Bide of the balloon, about one-third the
way up from the month to the top. Ex
perienced eyes at once detected that the
balloon was on fire, but the aeronaut.all
unconscious of his danger, went on with
his frightful performance on the trapeze.
When the balloon was about 1,500 feet
in the air, the flames were seen suddenly
to burst from its side, and simultaneous
ly a cry of horror went up from the
great crowd below. Many turned away
their eyes, and one woman fainted, all
expecting that Fisher would at once
meet a horrible death. But whether it
was that the material of the balloon was
not very inflammable, or that the hot
air near the flame was not favorable to
combustion, certain it is that the bal
loon did not burn rapidly, and the aero
naut landed in safety upon the top of a
slaughter-house, near the end of the
Hocking Valley bridge over the Scioto,
while the burning balloon lit in the
river, the water of which speedily extin
guished the flames. Cincinnati Gazette.
India Rubber Inexhaustible.
The belt of land around the globe, five
hundred miles north and five hundred
miles south of the equator, abounds in
trees producing the gum of India rub
ber. They can be tapped, it is stated,
for twenty successive seasons without in
jury ; and the trees stand so close that
one man can gather the sap of eighty in
a day, each tree yielding, on at) average,
three tablespoonfuls daily. Forty-three
thousand of these trees have been count
ed in a tract of country thirty miles long
by eighty wide. There are in America
and Europe more than one hundred and
fifty manufacturers of Indian rubber ar
ticles, employing some five hundred op
eratives each, consuming more than ten
million pounds of gum per year, and the
business . is considered to be still in its
infancy. But to whatever extent it may
increase, there will still be plenty of
rubber to supply the demand.
An Indiana man claims to have suc
ceeded in playing a thorough confidence
game upon the potato bugs. He planted
a grain of corn in each potato hill, and
as the corn came up first the bugs
thought it was a corn field and started
for other scenes.
Open Windows nt Night.
Very much has beou written on this
subject, and written unwisely ; the facts
are that whoever sleops uncomfortably
cool will get sick. To hoist a window
sky-high when the mercury is nt r.ero is
an absnrdity.
The oolder a sleeping apartment is, the
more unhealthy does it become, because
cold Condenses the carbonic acid formed
by the breathing of the sleeper. It set
tles near the floor and is robreathed, and
if in a very condensed form he will die
before morning. Hence we must bo
governed by circumstances ; ' the first
thing is, you must be comfortably warm
during Rleep, otherwise you are not re
freshed, and inflammation of the lungs
may be engendered, and life destroyod
within a few days.
An open door and an open fireplace
are sufficient tor ordinary purposes in
cold weather. When outer windows are
opened, it is well to have them down at
the top two or three inches, and up at
bottom for the samo space.
In miasmatio localities and these are
along watercourses, beside mill ponds,
marshes, bayous, river bottoms, flt lands
nnd the like it is most important, from
the first of August until severe frosts
have been noticed, to sleep with all ex
ternal doors and windows olosed, because
the cool air of sunset causes the conden
sation of the poisonous emanations which
were caused oy the heat of the noonday
sun to riso far above the oarth ; this con
densation makes the air heavy at sun
down, made heavy by the greater solidi
fication of the emanations by cold ; and
resting on the surface of the earth in
their more concentrated and malignant
form, they are breathed into the lungs,
and swallowed into the stomach, cor
rupting nnd poisoning the blood with
great rapidity. By daylight these con-
don nations arc made so compact by the
protracted coolness of the night, that
they are too near tho Burface of the earth
to bo brnathed into the system ; but as
the sua begins to ascend, these heavy
condensations, miasms, begin to rise
again to tho height ot several feet above
the ground, and 'are freely taken into
tho system by every breath and swallow ;
hence the hours of sunrise and sunset are
the mcst unhealthful of all the hours of
the twenty-four in the localities named ;
and noontide, when the nun is hottest, is
the most healthy portion of the day, be
cause the miasm is so much rarefied that
it ascends rapidly to the upper regions.
Tho general lessons are, nrst avoid
exposure to tho outdoor nir in miasmatic
localities for the horns including sunrise
and sunset, second. Have a blazing nro
on the hearth of the family room at
those hours, to rarefy and send the mi
asm upwards. Third. Tako breakfast
before going out of doors in the morn
ing, and take tea belore sundown ; then
being out after night is not injurious.

A Missouri Fanner Duped by (iiiisics.
An old gentluman in Polk county.Mis-
souri, of considerable) wealth, was some
time since made the dupe of misplaced
confidence in the following manner as
related by the Bolivar Free I'ress :
" A baud of Oripsies appeared in the
neighborhood, remaining several weeks.
A woman belonging to the party made
the acquaintance of the old gentleman,
and communicated to him the startling
intelligence that a large amount of trea
sure was concealed on his place, and that
by obeying her instructions he could se
cure it. This ho agreed to do. She
then informed him that he must deposit
all his money in a certain place. After
the lapse of a few days the whereabouts
of the treasure would be revealed to him.
Ho accordingly deposited the sum of
three thousand two hundred dollars in a
hiding place known only to the Gipsy
and himself. When several days had
passed, she again appeared unto him,
stating that her incantations would not
work, and assigned as a reason that he
failed to deposit all his money in the
hiding-place, as stipulated. lie then
added seventy-seven dollars more to the
amount, but still the spell which was to
result in laying bare the hidden wealth
proved unsuccessful. He then agreed to
let the Gipsy take the package of money
into her keeping, in order to facilitate
her conjurations. She kept it several
days, then returned with the entire
amount, and they counted it over to
gether. The Uipsy then informed mm
he must, to complete the charm, secrete
the package once more, for a period of
ten days ; that he must not, in the mean
time, look at or go near it. This was
assented to, and the package was once
more sealed up and committed to ner
care. When ten days had expired he
proceeded to go to the place of deposit,
found the package as he had placed it,
but on opening it was amazed to discov
er that it contained nothing but scraps
of old newspapers. He sought the Gipsy
woman at her usual baunt, but the en
tire party had folded their tents, like
tho Arab3, and silently stolen away."
A Massacre of Butchers In India.
A Lahore paper reports a shocking
outbreak of fanaticism at Umritsur, in
the Punjaub. " For some time the Hin
doos have been agitating against the
butchers of Umritsur to obtain a decree
forbidding the slaughter of cattle and
the sale of beef in the city. Their ef
forts failed, chiefly through the firmness
of the Commissioner and the strength of
the English and Mussulman party in
the Committee. Early one morning,
about one or two o'clock, a body of arm
ed Hindoos assembled and made a des
cent upon Umritsur slaughter-house and
attacked the butchers sleeping outside.
The murderers were armed with swords
and broad-axes, and the butchers, being
unarmed and asleep, were unable to save
themselves. Four butchers were literally
hacked to pieces, and two others were so
fearfully cut up that one has 6ince died
and the other's life is despaired of. The
night was a very dark one, and it will
be difficult to recognize the murderers.
Accounts vary as to the sect they belong
to. From some indications found on the
scene of the massacre, it is suspected that
the murderers belong to the Nihung
sect. But another account states that
the Akalies are suspected. The Akalies
are a sort of fanatic Sikhs, a semi-sacerdotal
class attached to the temples. They
are the truculent-looking fellows who
wear conical hats about a yard high.cov
ered with small weapons, and those steel
cluckers or sharp rings which they can
hurl with terrible precision and effect.
They are respected and considerably
feared. The Nihungs again are associ
ated with all that are reckless and Bohe
mian. Their name, indeed, is a common
expression In the Punjaub to represent
these qualities. The affair, as may be
anticipated, has caused some excitement
as it is expected that the matter will not
end here. Bad passions on both sides
have been aroused, and natives are al
ready whispering that other members of
the butcher fraternity nave Deen maruea
out for destruction."
FARM AS HOUSEHOLD.
To Make Mats from Sheepskins.--A
fresh skin is more easily prepared
than one a little dry. A strong soap
suds is used to wash the wool, first let
ting the water cool so as to be Blightly
warm to the hand. In the mean time,
pick out all the dirt from the wool that
will come out j tLen scrub it well on a
washboard. A tablespoonful of kerosene
added to three gallons of warm suds
will greatly help lhs cleansing process.
Wash in another suds, or until the wool
looks white and clean. Then put the
skin into cold water enough to cover it,
and dissolve half a pound of salt and the
same quantity of alum in three pints of
boiling water ; pour the mixture over
the akin, and rinse it up and down in
the water. Let it. soak in the water
twelve hours, then hang it over a fence
or a line to drain. When well drained,
stretch it on a board to dry, or nail it on
the wall of the wood-house or barn.wool
side toward the boards. When nearly
dry, rub into the skin one ounce of pow
dered alum and saltpetre, (if the skin is
largo, double the quantity ;) rub this in
for an hour or so. To do this readily
the skin must be taken down and spread
on a table or flat surface. Fold the skin
sides together and hang the mat awny.
Rub it every day for three days, tr till
perfectly dry. Scrape off the skin with
a stick or a blunt knife, till cleared of
all impurities ; then rub it with pumice
stone, or, if more easily procured, rotten
stone will do. Trim it to a good shape,
and you have an excellent door-mat.
Any intelligent house-wife can dye it
green, blue, or scarlet, with the so-called
" Family Dyes," either in powder or li
quid, and she will have as elegant a door
mat as she could desire. Lambs' skins
can be similarly prepared and made into
caps and mittens. Dyod a handsomo
brown or blank, they equal imported
Bkins. Still-born lambs, or those who
die very young, furnish very soft skins,
which if properly prepared would make
as handsome sacks, muffs, and tippets its
the far-tamed Astrachan. Any farmer b
daughter could easily prepare Bkins
enough to furnish herself with a hand

Keeping Fowls on a Lauoe Scale.
Many think that because a small num
ber of hens pay well, a largo numbe r
will pay in the same proportion. Well,
1 suppose they would, provided there is
ample provision made to spread a large
number over a space of suitable grounds ;
but all attempts that 1 nave seen or read
of, where the trial has been made to
keep a great number of hens together,
have proved failures. The only tmccesn-
ful production of poultry on a large
soale that I know of, is by the Messrs.
Lelands of the Metropolitan Hotel ot
New York city. They have some thirty
to forty or more acres devoted to poul
try breeding, but they are scattered all
over it, and kept in a state of nature, as
it were, only well supplied with suitable
food in abundance. In this way thou
sands are kept with success, or at lenst
were when I heard from them
If I was going into the busintes on a
large scale, I would select a piece cf
open woodland or large orchards or
brush fields should, however, prefer
orchards, apple, pear, peach, or plum, is
essential. Henneries or chicks should
always be placed where they can have
shade or sunshino at will ; and if run
ning streams pass through the grounds,
all the better to save tho labor of water
ing the birds. Small portable sheds to
roost not over twenty-five to fifty hens
each, which could be moved as required
by one or two men, with ample suitable
nests scattered about in convenient lo
calities, the sheds to be so scattered as to
give each colony ample roving space,
and certainly not more than a hundred
head to the acre (50 to an acre would bs
better) are best.
In this way, with proper care Rnd at
tention, I have no doubt that keeping
poultry on a large scale can be made to
pay, especially if ample arrangements
ore made for a good supply of spring
chicks. In the winter the hens could be
brought in and made to occupy suitable
quarters. Cor. Country Gentleman.
Thorough Culture. A correspon
dent of the Germantown (Pa.1 Telegraph
writes: Thorough culture and high ma
nuring are essential to profitable farm
ing, and this is the right mode of farm
ing. It ten acres of land can be made
to produce twenty tons of hay, is it not
better than to cultivate twenty acres for
the same amount t It is loss labor to
get twenty tons of hay from ten than
from twenty acres. Suppose you are
growing twenty-five bushels of corn per
acre. You can, by applying moro man
ure, with thorough cultivation, get fifty
bushels of corn. This might be increased
to seventy-five or 100 bushels per acre.
What is there to prevent? You can
easily test this. Select a small piece of
land in your corn field ; plough it a
few inches deeper than heretofore, man
ure the ground thoroughly, at the rate
of twenty carts per acre, plant good
seed, then keep out every weed, and the
result will astound you. Gardeners un
derstand this principle, and they plough
nearly two feet deep and apply thirty
carts per acre, besides using larg quant
ities of commercial manures. For any
garden crops the surfaco of the ground
two inches deep should be one-fourth
manure. In this way, by keeping the
ground moist, lettuce can be grown that
is tender, large and nice, and so of other
crops. The fact is, we cultivate too
much land. Says one, " I have so much
land I must cultivate it all.' What
would you have me do with it '" Better
give it away .than half cultivate it. Let
it grow up to wood or use it for pas
turage. Sell it. Perhaps that would be
the best plan. Take the money and im-
Erove the rest of the farm. A farmer
as 100 acres in his farm, and he keeps
as much hay, raises as much produce as
the farmer who has 200 acres. Which,
therefore, is the better farm the smaller
or the larger ? I think you will see at
a glance that the smaller farm is the
best. I don't say but that the large
farm can be made as productive as the
smaller, acre for acre ; but this is not
often the case. One man from an acre
of strawberries will get from ?o00 to
$1,000, while another man . will work
over a large farm and get only this
amount. Lso brains. These, it right
ly applied, will give large crops from a
small amount ot land.
Interest Money. A good story is
told of a rather verdant agricultural la
borer, who, having by hook and by crook
scraped together fifty dollars, took it to
his employer, with a request to take care
of it for him. A year after the laborer
went to another friend, to know what
would be the interest on it He was
told three dollars. " WeH," said he, " I
wish you would lend me three dollars
for a day or two. Mv boss has been
keeping fifty dollars for me a year, and
1 want to pay him the interest for it.
A Curious WIH.
One of tho most curious wills ever
made was by an Englishman at Mont
iraillnrd, in 1822, thus quoted in Once a
vVi ck : "It is my will that any one of
my relations who shall presume to shed
tonrs at my funeral shall be disinherited.
He, on the other hand, who laughs the
most heartily, shall be my sole heir. . I
order that neither the church nor my
henrse shall bo hung with black cloth,
but that, on the day of my burial, the
hearse and the church shall be decorated
wth flowers and green boughs. Instead
of the tolling of bells, I will have drums,
fiddles nnd fifes. All innsicians of Mont
gaillard and its environs shall attend the
tuneral. Fifty of them shall open the
procession with hunting tunes, waltzes,
and minuets."

A Live Home Journal Notable Change.
Last October, Hearth and Home passed Into
the hands of Messrs. Orange Judd fe Co., of
215 Broadway, New York, the well known
publishers of tho American Agi icutturist a
journal long without rival in sterling value
and circulation. Tho marked Improvements
then expected to appear in Hearth and Home
have been fully realized, and it is now one of
the choicest illustrated journals anywhere Is
sued for the family circle adapted to both tho
juvenile and adult people, and meeting tbo
special wants of tho housekeeper. Besides it
supplies very useful chapters for the garden
and farm, and an important news sheet, giving
a valuable resume ot tho news for a week, up
to tho moment of Issue. From $500 to fHOO
worth of very lino engravings beautify each
weekly number. We notice now a still further
mnrk of enterprise on tho part of the publish
ers : they have secured tho exclusive editorial
services of Edward Eggleston, so widely and
lavorably known by his writings in bcritmer
Mrmthhi. and manv ether Magazines and Jour
nals, and especially as the chief superintend
ing editor 01 tho JSeio 1 ora Jnaepenaent lor
some timo past. With this notublo addition
to tne previously largo anu strong euitoriai
force, Hearth and Home can not full to mer
it and command a prominent place In every
household In city, village, and country. Speci
men copies can doubtless be obtained of the
publishers, as above. Terms only ?3 a year.
Singlo numbers 8 cents. Hearth and Home
and American Agriculturist together, f 4 a year.
Hotter add one or botn 01 tneui to your sup
ply of reading ; they are each worth infinitely
more than the small cost.
Tns Phrenological Journal is always
interesting, but tho September number, just
received, is particularly so. In proof read tho
following suggestive titles from tho table of
coutcuts : Hon. John A. Bingham, M C. :

When any antidote or remedy for any
particular class of diseases obtains a
wide-spreading notoriety, it is but rea
sonable to suppose that it must merit
the popularity it receivos. It is within
our province to mention that Dr. J,
Walker's California Vinegar Bit
ters, so long and favorably known as
tho safest and most reliable remedial
agent for the cure of Liver, Kidney,
Bladder, and Glandular Diseases, Men
tal and Physical Debility, and all com
plaints emanating from a corrupt state
of the blood, &o., are in great demand.
So satisfied are we of the intrinsic worth
of this medicine, that we do not hesitate
to notice it in our columns. It is well
to mention that this medicine is com
pounded of roots, herbs, and flowers of
California, and has no fiery material or
alcohol used in its preparation.
We can add no better eulogium than
the fact that we use it constantly in our
family, and each member thereof par
takes of it, when necessary, according
to directions.
The terrifio duel between Prussia and
Franco is over, but thousands of battles
between Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bit
ters and dyspepsia and liver complaint
are now going on in every State in the
Union. The issue of suob. contests is
never for ont moment in douht. The con
flict may last longor in some cases than
in others, but the Leading Vegetable
Tonic and Alterative of ttih Nine
teenth Century invariably triumphs.
A gentleman in the eastern part of
the State, who was about having his leg
amputated on account of its being bent
at right angles and stiff at the knee,
heard of Johnson' Anodyne Liniment.
After using it a short time, his leg be
came straight, and is now as serviceable
as the other.
A great many people have asked us of
late, " liow do you keep your norae
looking m sleek and glossy '" We tell
them, its the easiest thing in the world ;
give Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Pow
der two or three times a week.
