BY GEO. D. PRENTICE. Bravery I lay no clniin to, still I wag never a man of feeble courage. There are tew scenes of either human or ele mentary strife, upon which I have not looked with a brow of during. I have stood in front of battle when swotd were gleaming and circling around me like fiery serpents of the air ; I have sat on the mountaiu pinnacle, when the whirlwind was rending its oaks from rocky clefts ahd scattering them piece meal to the clouds. I have seen those tt ings with a swelling soul that recked not of danger, but there is something in, the thunder's voice that makes me trem ble like a child. I have tried to over come this unmanly weakness; I have called prido to my aid, I have sought for moral courage in the lessons of phi losophy, but they availme nothing at the first low moaning of the distant cloud my heart sinks and dies within me. My involuntary dread of thunder has its origin in an incident that occurred when 1 was ten. I had a cousin, a girl, of the same Age as myself, who had been the constant companion of my child hood. Strange, that after tho lapse of ' a score of years, that countenance is so familiar to me. I can see the bright J'oung creature her large eyes flashing ike beautiful gems, her free locks stream ing as in joy upon the rising gale, and her cheek glowing like a ruby through a wreath of transparent snow. Her voice had the melody and joyonsness of a bird's and when she bounded over wooded hill or the fresh green valley, shouting a glad answer to every voice of nature, and clasping her little Lauds in the very ecstacy of young existence, she looked as if breaking away like t freed nightingale from the earth, and going where all things were beautiful and happy, like her. It was morning in tho middle of August. She had been passing some days at my father's house, and was to return home. Her path lay across the fields, and I gladly became the com panion, of her walk. I never knew a summer morning uore beautiful and still. Only one little cloud was visible, and that seemed as pure and white and peaceful as if it had been the incense from a burning censor of the skies. The leaves bung silent in the woods, the waters of the bay had forgotten their undulations, the flowers were bending their heads, as if dreaming of the rain bow, and the whole atmosphere was of such a soft and luxurious sweetness, that it seemed of roses scattered down by the hands of a Feri, from the far-off gardens of Paradise. The green earth and blue sea were abroad in their bound lessness, and the peaceful sky bent over them. The little creature at my side was in a delirium of happiness, and her clear, sweet voice came ringing upon the air at) often as she heard the tones of a favorite bird, or found Bome strange or lovely flower in her frolic wanderings. The unbroken and almost supernatural tranquility of the day continued until nearly noon. Then tho indications of an approaching tempest were manifest. Over the summit of a mountain about a mile away, the folds of a dark cloud be came suddenly visible, and at tho same moment a hollow roar came down upon the winds, as if it were the sound of waves in a rocky cavern. The cloud unrolled like a banner-fold upon the air, but still the atmosphere was calm and the leaves as motionless ns before ; there was not even a quiver upon the sleeping waters to tell of thn coming hurricane. To escape the tempest was impossible. As the only resort, we fled to an oak, that stood at the foot of a tall, ragged precipice, nere we gazed almost breath less upon the clouds, marshaling them selves like giants in the sky. The thun der was not frequent, but every burst was bo fearful that the young creature, who stood by me, shut her eyes con vu.sively, clung with a desperate strength to my ar n, and shrieked as if her heart would break. A few minutes and the storm was upon us. During the height of its fury, the little girl lifted her fin ger toward the precipice that towered above us. I looked up, an amethystine flame was quivering upou its gray peaks, and the next moment the clouds opened, the rocks tottered to their foun dation, a roar like the groan of a uni verse filled the air, and I felt myself blinded and thrown, I knew not whither. How long I remained insensible I can not tell ; but when consciousness re turned the violence of the tempest was abating ; the roar of the winds dying in the tree-tops, and the deep tones of the thunder coming in fainter murmurs from the eastern hills. I arose, and looked trembling and al most deliriously around. She was there the idol of my infant love stretched upon the wet green earth. After a mo ment of irresolution, I went up nnd looked upon her. The handkerchief upon her neck was slightly rent, and a single dark spot upon her bosom told where the path of death had been. At first I clasped her to my breast with a cry of agony, and then laid her down and gazed into her face, almost with a teeling 01 , calmness, lier bright dig bevelled riaglets clustered around her brow, the look of terror had laded Irom her lips, and an infant smile was pic tured beautifully there the red rose tinge upon her cheeks was lovely as in life! i - I have but a dim recollection of what followed I only know that I remained weeping and motioulest till the coming on of twilight, and that I was then taken tenderly by the hand and led away where I saw the countenance of parents and sisters. Many years have gone by on their wings of light and shadow, but the scene I have portrayed still comes over me, at limes wllh a terrible dintinuttn' s.

Th se uave ooen pictured and described with out end our own sadly neglected. We here introduce a bird t.W. h claims to favor, and begin with an ancc ,i .

Tho gar den, in consequence, whs thoroughly searched, but without success. Very reluctantly the lady began to suspect a new maid whom she had recently en gnged, and who had been tho only oc cupant of the chamber during the lady'g absence. The maid was young, giddv, and very fond of dress ; but she india uantly protested her innoceuco with many tears. Although iniuMut.i ft..,. the crime upon her by any direct proof, there were too many suspicious circum stances connected with tho afl'.iir to al low it to b nnaanrl nVUP MTIIinn... .....1 ' X - .....ii.iifu, rmu tno lady determined to discharo-o her maid. On tho Verv tlnv. linrmv-fiT- nr. mliiA J' ..... v , nmu she was to leave the house in disgrace, while the poor girl was in her room packing her clothes into her chest to take them with her, she heard a cry of distress from the roof of tho house, just beneath which was the attio she occu pied, and glancing out of the little dormer-window whirh lonlrnd V"rri tin. apartment upon the roof, she saw tho ui le son 01 ner mistress in a very dan gerous predicament. Attracted by a curiously-shaped bird's nest hanging from the extremity of a limb of an old button-ball tree over hanging the house, he had climbed out upon the roof, whieh wno and slid from the rilege-pole to the ,.-a-uuugu, wnere, clutching at a branch providentially within reach, he arrested his tiroerpss mi tha of dest uctiou. In one hand ho heJd the branch, and in the other the nest, which, terrified ns ho was, ho had no idea of parting with. No one except the girl was within sound of his cries, and his situation, mo mentarily beCOUlilia" tnnro nnmnnni demanded immediate aid. Without a thought of her own safety, the brave girl, calling upon the child t- stand steady and hold last, clambered out at the window. Steadying herself as best she might, where the slightest misstep or slip was instant death, she at last reached the child, and led him back, bird's nest and all, safely to his mother's arms, whose feelings, when the occur rence was related to her, may better be imagined than described. The strangest part of the story re mains, however, to be related. When the nest that so nearly caused all con cerned such terrible affliction came to be examined, it was found to be a hang ing nest of the Baltimore oriole, and WOVen in its mesViea. nmirl tH-n-mia r,l.,nti and dried grasses, was to be seen the mcuucai piece ot lace which had so mysteriously disappeared a few days before. This nest is a pouch suspended from five small twigs, and the ingenuity dis played in its construction is very re markable. It and lined with cow's hair, and when first ooiamea contained lour flei-h-colored eggs, marked with obscure purplish lines, over which were irregular scribblings of blackish brown. It is strengthened by tough wiry grass, which is carried all the way from the supporting twigs un derneath the pouch, and around to another twig upon which it is fastened. The oriole rivals the scarlet tanagcr for beauty, and shares with it, though, perhaps, somewhat loss appropriate , tho name of " fire-bird." Our hero wears orange, however, in stead of scarlet, a uniform calculat d to give great offense to all citizens of Hi bernian descent, but the proper livery of Lord Baltimore, to whom it owes its name. It makes its appearance amongst us about the 1st of May, and begins build ing its nest about the 20th. The food of the oriole is exclusively of an in sectivorous kind, and the bird is a very valuable friend to farmers, worthy of much more consideration and protec tion thau they generally get from them.

The varieties of wood produced in different parts of the world are tar more numer ous than most people are 'iware of. At the Paris Exposition of 1867 there were, from forty-five different countries, no lest than 3,769 different kinds of wood exhibited, 395 coming from Europe, 252 from Africa, 858 from Asia, 960 from Ooeanica, and 1,298 from America. Tho Olory of tho Farmer. Tho benefits conferred upon man kind by the farmer and the pli!sure vhich attaches to his. vocation an .hariningly portrayed by IUlph Waldi Emerson, in one of his essays, as follows : "The nlory of the farmer is that, in tho division of labor, it is his part to create. All the trades rests at last on his primitive authority. Ho stands clo to nature; he obtains from the earth tho broad and the moat. The food whtoh wns not lie causes to be. The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rest on possession and use of land. Men do not like hard work, but every man has an exceptional re spnat for tillage, and the fouling that this is tho original calling of his raor, that he himself is only excuaod from it by some circumstances whioh made him delegate it for a time to other hands. If ho had not somo skill which recom mends him to tho farmer, some product for which tho farmer will give him corn he miibt himself return into his due place am ing the planters. And thn pro fession hts iu all eyes its aneient charm as standing nearest to God, the First Cause. Then the beauty of nature, the tranquillity and innocence of tho coun tryman, Lis independence, and hi pleasing arts the caros of bees, of poul try, of sheep, of c.mvs ; tho dairy, the care of hay, of fruits, of orchards and forests, and the reaction ot these on thi workman in giving bim a strength and plain disunity, like the face and manner? of nature, all men acknowledge. All men keep the farm in reserve as an asylum, where, in case of mischance, to hido the property or a solitude if the do not succeed 111 society. And who knows how many glances oc remorse are turned this way from the bankrupts of trade, from mortified ploaders in courts and senates, or from tho victims of idle ness and pleasure Poisoned by town life and town vices, thn Bufferer re solves: 'Well, my children, whom 1 have injured, shall go back to the land, to bo recruited and cured by that which should have been my nursery, and now shall be their hospital.'" A False. Idea. A mistaken idea is that entertained by many that riches are necessary to perfect happiness. It is scarcely neces sary to state a lict so well understood, that many men and women, possessed ot great wealth, are exceedingly unhap py. A thousand things occur in the fiunctuations and busy scenes of life to bring sorrow and discontent to tho homes of tho rich as well as those of the poor. It is in the homes of people of moderate means, as a rule, that happi ness is found. " Put money in thy purse," said tho mercenary and selfish Iago. In his esti mation, lscre was the magic key to hap piness, to position and power to all that is desirable on earth. Get riches ; no mutter how, get riches. It is a false and fatal sentiment; a delusion and a snare. Such teachings have been the ruin of thousands of young men of the highest promise. A good nanio is to bo preferred to great riches. So runs the proverb, and the history of the human race is tho venhcation 01 its truth. The highest riches do not eonsist in a princely income; there is greater wealth than this, it consists in a good constitution, good digestion, a good heart, stout lim' s, a sound mind, and a clear conscience. Souio one says good bones are better than gold, tough mus cles than silver, and nerves that flash fire, and carry energy to evefy function, are better than houses and lands. Bet ter than money is a good disposition ; and that man is rich who has generous impulses, a nohlo soul, and who is hope ful and cheerful, and who has the moral courage to keen the even tenor of his way, whatever mny betide him. Such a man is rich, though not accounted so when measured by a money standard ; but he stands immeasurably higher in point of true worth to the sordid, ava ricious cormorant whoso only claim to consideration consists in his money bags. The Dolman. lliriiers Tlaziir says : " The new gar ment of which most is seen and heard is the Dolman. Them are varieties of this wrap, but its peculiar feature is its great wing-like sleeve, or a side piece over the arm hanging in a point below the rest of the garment. The back may be cither a nearly htted postilion with pleats, or else a looser sacque with a Binglo seam up the middle, slashed over the tour nure; but the long sleeve over a coat sleeve, or else the dropping sido piece beginning on the shoulder, is invari able. In cltect the Dolman somewhat resembles the bashlik of threo years ago. It hangs closo to the figure in a graceful way, though not belted down as the bashlik was ; it is easily put on and off. as the arm opening is much larger than an ordinary armhole. Inner sleeves of coat shape are added for warmth. La dies who have velvet or cashmere sac ques left from last year can add to them a deep pointed fall, beginning ut tho shoulder point, extending far behind, and disappearing under tho arm in front; this will givo tho effect of tho n -tw garment. "The most elegant imported Dolmans are nf velvet and cashmere. One of Lyons velvet has a closely-fitted postil ion back, and is trimmed with a baud of very glossy black fur. A rich jet ornament is in the point of the sleeve. Another, especially elegant, is of fine drap d'ete a thick cashmere. A vine of leoaves in richly-raised embroidery and flue jet surrounds the garment, and leaves and buds are wrought at inter vals all over it. A guipure edge over heavy jet fringe is sewed in the leaf scallops of the border. A lace ruche is around the neck, and a bow of faille ribbon at the throat. Two loops and long ends of failln ribbon hang back of each shoulder. This notably handsome garment is f '2'iH. Effect of Colors upon Health. A correspondent of The fitiililer states that he hud occasion fur several years to examine rooms occupied by young wo men for manufacturing purposes, and ho has observed that while the workers in one room would be very cheerful and who were employed on the game kind of business, were all inclined to be melan choly, and complained of a pain in the forehead and eyes and were often ill and unable to work. The only difference he could discover in the rooms was that the one occupied by the healthy workers was wholly wbiteweshed, and that oc cupied by the melancholy workers was colored with yellow ochre. As goon as the difference struck him he bad the yellow ochre washed off the walls and then whitened. At once an "improve ment took place in tho health and spirits of the occupants.

What Roots Shall We Gkow A lonvgpondeut of th.i Country Oi-nthmn.i. tys: -'With mu.;h exp'Tiemoe in th.' r vviiiR and feeding ut' most kin 1 ol oots, our very licidd preien nee for "he principal crop is for beets. We ulaoo first among varieties the American imperial sugar beet. It grows mostly Hit of grouud, and although it grows large and heavier than any other, it is Hne, compact, weet, and nutritious. The sugar beets that grow in the ground we have discarded. The loug red man gold grows Very much like the better ruriety of sugar beets, will bear little closer planting, and yield ahout tho same weight of roots.

Between this and tho long red there is little if any choice, except that the globe is better adapted t.. the lUihter soil.

' Broadcast vs. Drilled Wheat. S imo time smoo in an article 111 v our paper a writer said : ' Winter whein Inlled in stood the gevt-ru wetttltur bet fer tlia'i wheat sown broadcast." Othtr A-nters to other papers says that winter wheat that was drilled iu was all right, tnd one of the geutlemeii wrote that my wlieHt which was drilled in was all right, and that his was all killed. For o'ii satisfaction 1 have inquired, tnd find that there are JJ37 acres ut win ter wheat uhvo and that will yield a fair crop, which wus sown broadcast, md only fifteen acres sown with drill, riiuro is not in this place one acre of good winter wheat that was drilled in. while there are over 150 acres ot good winter wheat that was sown broadcast. Now, I don't mean to say, nor to lie un derstood, that all wheat broadcast sown is alive, or that, all that was drilled in is dead. Bat I do ineiui to say and be understood that broadcast bowii stood tho long-to-be-reineinbered winter of 1872 better than that which was drilled in. Cot. of l'ruirie Farmer. To Make Peaks Color. A gentle man of West Chester, Pa., says : " To mako pears color handsomely, spread a blanket on tho floor of a cool room, and then thinly and evenly placo the fruit on tho floor. A second blanket must be spread over them, and in a Bhort time the effects of this treatment will be ap parent in tho most 'golden colored Bart letts and rich, ruddy looking Seckels imaginable. Pears perfected in this manner rarely .have tho mealiness ol their naturally ripened companions, nor do they permature'.y decay at the core " An experiment made in England shows that Olio hundred sheep, fed under shelter, on twenty Dounds ot Swedish turnips ech pur day, at tho end ot a few weeks had gained three pounds each moro than another hundred which were fed twenty pounds of the same kind of turnips each, but in the open air or field. Five sheep were fed in the open air in November, tho temperature being at forty-tour degrees. Tney consumed ninety pounds ot food per day. At the end of ten days they weighed two pounds less than when at first exposed. Five other sheep were then place t in a shed, the temperature being t'orty-uine degrees ; at first, they consumed eighty two pounds per day, then seventy pounds, and at. the end of the time they had gained twenty-three pounds. This is proof sutfi.jieht id the advantages of sheltering stock in winter. It is said that milk can be kept a year or more us sweet as when taken Torn the cow, by the following method : Trocure bottles, which must be, perfect ly clean, sweet, and dry ; draw the milk troni the cow into the bottles, and as they are filled, immediately cork them well, and fasten the cork with pack thread or wire. Then spread a little straw in tho bottom of a boiler, on which place the bottles, with straw be tween them, until the boiler coutaius a sufficient quantity. Fill it up with cold water, heat the water, and as soon as it begins to boil, draw tho fire, and let tho whole gradually cool. When quite cold, take out the bottles and pack them in sawdust in hampers, and stow them away in the coolest part of the house. A correspondent of the toil Atw Yorkir says that last year on a piece of ground 19 by 20 feet, ho raised ten bushels of onions from black seed. He raised onions on tho samo niece of ground tho year bofore, and they did not pay for the seed ; they were destroyed by maggots and wire-wroms. llrf procured three bushels of salt and two barrels of fish and pork brino and top dressed his garden (about one-fourth of an acre) with it, alter ho had gathered all his vegetable!.

LEAD Poisoniso Since attention has bt en directed to the subject, cases of lead poisoning, traceable to the use of hair preparations containing lead, are found to be very frequeut. A case of mis son was recently reported in the medical journals, which was at first mistaken Jor muscular rheumatism, and treatod us such with but slii'ht amend ment Paralysis of the exteusor mus cleg of the fingers and the hands, with "wrist drop "coming on, the true na ture of the affection wos seen, and its cause readily found in the free use ot a hair renewer containing a larce propor tion of sugar of lead. In this instance, no lines were seen upon the gums, but attacks of colic had been quite frequent. Discontinuance of the huir-dressiug, and a resort to the ordinary remedies, effected a cure.
