A TALE- t et oss or roi'K. About 4 o'clcxfk. one cold, stormy cveniup ia the latter pwt of Novem ber ol tbe year 1S51 n ged travel ler, Lia-bair and beard whitened with tbe frosts of many winters, appeared on the brow of Parson's hill, which overlooks tbe romantic little tillage of Somerset. His beard was covered with icicles; hishandswere blae with excessive cold, while his toes peeped out from innocent-looVinjr boles in his boots, offering a mute but touching appeal for protection from the biting frosts. A sign rose unoiaaen irom his breast and a tear coursed slowly down bis weather beaten cbeek as he gared oa the village at his fccL From the chimneys on either side of the street the smoke rose in graceful wreaths, while tbe savory odor of roast turkey, duck and the many other good things that grace tbe ThaDksgiv"ng tables of thrifty Pennsylvania housewives was wafV ted to the air. Resuming his pack, which contain ed his little all, which be had flung down when be first obtained a view of tbe town, the traveller descended the bill "Could rau irive an old man a bit of bread and a cup of water?" be akrd t tliA first tavern eland be reached. ' Tbe landlord, in no enviable frame of mind, replied gruffly, "We don't feed bectrara here. Get out of this before I have the hostler kick you out." "May you never know what it is to suffer from cold and hunger as 1 have," replied the old man as he closed tbe door and wearily dragged bis limbs toward a more distant hostelry. "I wish I bad let the old man stay," mused the landlord as be sat behind tLe bar-roo.n stove, smoking bis pipe and taking an occasional sip from a boul of hot punch by bis side. ' "Int what riffht Lava people to beg anyhow? I'd a good deal rather starve," and with this consoling re Cection ho resumed his pipe, puffing out huge volumes of black smoke till the room was fairly clouded. At tbe next house the traveller made tbe same request and was met by a similar refusal. Two such re fusals were enough for the haughty spirit that lurked beneath that coat cf homespun, and he passed on through and out of the town without glanc ine either to the right or left. On tbe bridge which crosses the cr' k east of town be was met by good old Doctor B. Seated in bis comfortable sleigh, with his buffalo robes drawn tightl around him, and holding the reins loosely over Lis prancing horses, the Doctor look ed what be was, one of the kindest and best of men. Catching sight of the stranger be checked his boises, while Lis cheery voice called out : "How now old friend, which way go you on this cold day? Jump in to my sled and go borne with me. You are right welcome to a share of our Thanksgiving dinner. There is room at our table for one more." The last sentence came in a lower tone than the rest of the Doctor's greeting. As be said it a spasm of pain shot across his face, remember ing the one who had filled that place but a few years belore. A dear son, who at his countrv'g jgftrganies. Verily, the Palais Royal is Iiaa donned bcr uniform and march ed forth to do bali.V'jn bcr cause. 'C'B Liia"had come to the old Yomestead but once, a short letter from a soldier friend: "Ned was shot through tbe breast at Monterev, be died a few hours afterwards. When we found him be was almost dead, but rallied suf ficiently to speak; bis last words were, tell mother I did my duty.' We buried him and many another brave fellow on the field where he fell." Then followed a eulogy on tbe good qualities of tbe dead ; bow on loDg march be bad shared bis last ration with a friend; how on one sul try mght he had relieved a poor, sfck comrade from picket duty at tbe most 4iangcrou8 point or the line. It was a fitting tribute, and such a one as onl v a brave man can pay to tbe memo ry 61 another, and from whom should it come if not from Earl Davis, be who bad been XedV trustiest friend and companion in arms. Tbe mother, almost heartbroken, with what little patience she could command, anxious ly awaited tho summons for her to join her soldier boy in his heavenly home. I he traveller hesitated a moment and made a step toward the sleigh, looking with longingeyes at the warm buffalo robcs. but (baking bis bead he thanked tbe Doctor for his kindness to an old man and proceeded painfully on bis journey. As be reared tbe brow of the hill on the pike that over looks town, he turned once to raze on tbe scene. In front of bim lav tbe village. Tbe merry laneh of tbe joyous children made music to tbe rhythm of their skates as they glided twiftly from side to side. On an eminence overlooking tbe rest of the town 6tood the Court House, while tbe white marble shafts that appeared in the back ground marked tbe last resting places of many of ber once useful citizens. Here and there a church shot its spire beaven- ward as though anxious to bridge the chasm between this and a better world. A spirit of peace and quie tude, like a heavenly benediction, brooded over the landscape. The memories of the olden timecrowding tbick and fast on tbe old nan's mind found vent in words. a. a .. Ana wis is somerset; in yon meadow beneath tbe bill were spent many nappy hours of childhood. Yonder, above the bend in the creek 'we fished and swam ; manv and many a time have I slid down that hiil; tbe church yard there holds all that is earthly of a kind father and loving mother. To-day have I been turned rntblesslr from tbe door of my own son's bouse. May heaven grant that be may never know who be Las this day set adrift. Casting one long, sorrowful look over the peaceful scene be trudged mournfully forward. From the next hill he ob tained a view of the Poor House, and a rush of bitter memories came orerLim aa be thought that there he was destined to spend the remainder of bis days. ' Do what he may, burly Max. Mayhan could not rid bis memory of we oia tteggar he bad treated so ruffly. Something in tbe face haunt ed mm; r nadan indisticet recollec- t;n nfk.rm... : ..-i. . i t. . , ik;ui ii-iuaiiuu in me long ago. For ao hour or two impatiently be paced tbe bar room floor. Calling the" hostler, he ordered bira to hitch tb bay horse to tbe jumper and bring bim to the door. ' ."111 be back for dinner Kate," be railed to bis little wife, as be leaped into tbe bleigh and was off. ,A.bout tw miles from tbe village Le fuBd tbe form of tho traveller lying in the middle of tbe road ap parently lifeless. Taking the body up tenderly as though it wore an in- fant, Max deposited it in t'ie sleigh and drove rappidly home, stopping just long enough at Doitor B'. to tell hist bis services were needod im mediately. In a large room in the hotel, on the bed lay the traveller, a bright fire was burning in tbe grate, whose glim merings made fantastic figures on the walL At the bead of the bed stood the Doctor, while tbe landlord and bis wife sat by the lire convers ing in low tones. "Where am I ? what has happen ed?" a?k.d tbe thoroughly bewilder ei old man. "Safe father, and in ray bouse Tbe letter in your pocket explaice all," replied Max approaching tb bed.

A writer in tbe Figaro, speaking f tbe Piiais Royal, Pans, says "ivi.ar u-ondfirful nlaee it is res taurant, shops and cafe, all rolled into one : a place here one may buy almost any sort or article ae t ans, as tbe cheap knick-knacks are called, or mav tret a dinner at tbe most ex pensive rate. Tbe ground Coors are reserved for shops for tbe sale o articles of all srts. from tbe most expensive specimens of Paris jewel rv to the cheapest of Lowtbrr Ar cade - knick-knacks. In one of tbe ttimlnn-a one sees the wonderful clock, tbe clock which is made entire ly of glass and which is perfectly transparent, which hangs suspended by a string in the middle of the win dow, and in which the apparently entire absence of works causes us astonishment as to now it keeps 6uch perfect time. The mechanism can not well be in tbe diminutive pendu mm and the riddle is onlv solved to purchasers. In another window we up fh nmst temrtinir assortment of jewelry none very cheap, and all marked 'Or' or 'Argent.' l'cruaps next door we find marked 'Imitation,' and apparently tbe self same articles are marked at a tenth of the price. Tbe Talais Royal 'Imitation' is world-renowned. The first floor of every house in tbe Palais Royal is devoted to a restaurant. Here, at prices ranging from two francs t-) four francs, one may obtain a dinner which even a British epicure would find too sufficient. Soup, fisb, poul trv, entrees, knick-knacks, vegeta bles (a separate course), cheese, and dessert, with a bottle of wine, for; one and eigbtpence. The price is ridiculous. Rut if j-ou wait there for a couple of hours, you will be aston ished bow many people avail them selves of this cheap way of dining, and will make a shrewd iruess that t pay 8 the proprietors bet' or to take a small proQt from a number than a large one from a few. In the court yard there is a cafe, where, smoking a cigar and sipping a j. elite tasse of cafe noire, with a dish of brandy perhaps, we may sit and listen to the strains of one of the bands of the Line, which play's here at intervals throughout the summer months. At the cafe, too, when you sit down without a word, the garcon will, see ing that you are English, bring you the morning's Times or Telegraph, nailed to little sticks of wood.iu order that inte.tjgecTrtatorb" 'may not bo-allowed to try their little a wonderful place." Hww fen Changed Her Hind. The Troy lT7it7 of Tuesday relates the following: "For the past two Tears or more a youriir French shoe maker, who resides on Second street, near Jackson, has been keeping com pany with a French girl, whose fath er is a boss carpenter, residing on First street, near Jackson. The young man proposed matrimony to the girl, but as her parents objected on account of the young man baving no money, she also declined the pro position. Tbe young man, becoming disheartened, left for Canada to seek bis fortune, but as luck did not smile on bim, after three weeks' absence he returned to this city and again called on tbe girl. He was met with a cold reception, but it was no dis appointment to bim. He, however, got up courage enough to propose a second time, and to his great sur prise the girl suddenly changed ber mind and consented. Tbe time for tbe nuptial ceremony was fixed for one night last week. At the time appointed the groom, bridesmaid, and groomsman made their appearance, and were soon met by the expected bride. The four then started for the French church, where the ceremony was to be performed. When they arrived at the church tbe girl refused to enter and have the ceremony per formed. She aid she loved her in tended, but as her parents were op posed to tbe union she would not do an act which was contrary to their wishes. Tbe intended husband be came indignant when he beard this, and demanded the presents, (consist ing of jewelry, Ac.,) which be had given her. The girl complied with bis request for the jewelry, and band ed over tbe presents. The party then separated and left for their homes." Book. Of how many books which are pub lished can it be said that they will add to the knowledge of any human being, or even that they have been written with the object of producing such a result ? A certain number of volumes, doubtless, are issued every year which profess to be "6erious reading," but all that is really meant by this is that tbey are not novels. But, far from baving been composed with a desire to writ a more or less exhaustive monograph on the sub ject of which they profess to treat, tbey are for tbe most part put togetb er with the deliberate intention of making them palatable to tbe "gen eral public." 1 bus they teach, not what ought to be taught, but what tbe writer thinks the reader will con sent to be taught With this end in view, histories are made "diverting," biographies scandalous, travels sen sationai : ana me autbor who re fuses to spice Lis dish for the jaded palate of tbe multitude has usually tbe satisfaction of finding that it re mains untasted.

Tbe learned professors indulged in hiding coins, pencils, cards, etc., in books, corners, and drawers. Brown was then placed en rapiwrt with the ider, that is, be took the band of the person who hid the article, or took hold ot a lino held by that pcrsoa. Brown, although blindfolded, would lead the individual to the exact spot, and find tbe article. Professor Thacher purposely imagined a pain located under bis nose. Brown im mediately placed bis finger in the precise spot. Prolessor March im agined a particuat'word, wrote it on pane", ami-ave it to another person. I BrrWn spelled it out ot once by point ing to the respective letters in an alphabet written on a blackboard. The venerable ex-President Woolsey concealed a coin under some books, but bis mind was probably bazy, for Brown could not quite find it, though bo came near the spot. But when put en rapport with a younger man, Professor Vhitney Brown immedi ately found tbe coin. Professor Brewer placed a tape measure in a distant apartment; Brown promptly went, blindfolded, to tbe place and found tbe article. Professor Fither gave a pencil to Professor Johnson, who gave it to Professor Tbacber, who concealed tbe article. Brown led the latter directly to the spot, and found the pencil. Professor Lyman held a paper on which words were written by Professor Fisher, and, blindfolded, Brown spcllei the words without difficulty! Having witness ed so many ot these curious experi ments, it is to be hoped that the learned Prefessors of Yale will be able to explain bow they are done. The Potato Crop. The advent of the potato beetle into the Middle States tbe past sea son was tbe signal for an extended planting of tbe tuber in the Eastern and those of the "Western States where it had run its course and taken a final departure. The con sequence has been that the greatest quantity of Irish potatoes are to be seen on the cars of the Eevcrsl rail road lines, as also along the wharves. Alluding to the Irish famine, occa sioned by the loss of the potato crop, tbe Germantown Telegraph says that a similar event could hardly oc cur now, in consequence of tie diffu sion of agricultural literature at present, so different from what was the case then. This is illustrated iu the history of the Colorado potato beetle, and the prospect of the crop to-day. Thousands and thotatnds of bushels of potatoes have been de stroyed, or at least would have been raised, that were not, solely on ac count of tbe existence of this insect plague ; and yet the price of potatoes has not materially increased during the past twenty years. As trouble originates it ia made known and' dis cussed by the agricultural press, its cause and cure exposed, and large quantities planted in the place of those likely to be destroyed. In this way the equilibrium is maintained, prices kept at near uniform standard, and absolute want kept away. Early in the spring we forsaw the certain advent of this beetle and call ed attention to its approach, and in order to enable tbe planter to dis cern it on its making its appearance, we gave an exact description and drawing of the ins?ct, and tbe reme dies for it. It required some labor and perseverance to successful com bat tbe enemy, but those ho were determined to save their crops under went that labor, and were enabled to preserve their plantings ; those who either passed it over or failed to avail themselves of the remedies offered, have suffered almost a total loss, and will probably find the bugs in in creased numbers next year. Ta Xkt CattiBga Grew. A correspondent of the Wentern farmer says : "I used to have a great deal of trouble to make currant aod goose berry cottings or slips grow, until 1 tried the following plan : I boiled some potatoes until tbey were very nearly done and then stuck one on each slip and put it in tbe ground. Every slip sprouted and grew well ai' summer, witn one or two ex ceptions, lbe idea of putting the boiled potatoes to the end of cut tings, was to furnish and keep mois ture for them to grow until the roots become large enough to gather Ibis moisture and substance from tbe eoil.'

Mr. llorue a veteriuary surgeou, if Wisconsin, says: "There is uo better way to c-mx a horse to lie down than a good, clean, dry bed iu a clean, airy loose box. I have had horses which would not on any account go even if forced, into a stall where they had suffered, but would go immediately and cheer fully into any other ordinary stall. Any practical veterinarian knows how often horses otherwise quiet and obedient refuse to approach bis infir mary, and even the sound of bis (tbe doctor's) yoke will produce quite a nervous trepidation in an animal upon which he has operated, evidently causing tbe animal paiu and suffering. We very much un derrate the capacity of our noble do mestic animals to appreciate a kind ness or to resent a wrong. This is moro often manifested by tho noble and faithful horse or dor. A change of place will often give encouragement to a horse and he will lie down, although having persistent ly stood up in bis accustomed stall, from having received an injury there, ! or from its much resembling the place of former suffering. Ido not claim this is the only cause, for I have known horses for many years that would not lie down anywhere, and which had never bad the above, cause for this refusal. Again I re peat, a clean, loose box is the best to bring about a change in the horse's habits. , Kbeep and Does. The keeping of sheep here is sadly interfered with by dogs, How to avoid such a risk seems to be an un answerable question. Overhearing country lady remark that doirs only attack and kill sheep in tbe night-time, induces me to ask of you, or through your columns, of those who have had experience, if such is the case. Does daylight stem to have such an effect on the sneaking destructive "varmints" as to deter them from following their blood thirsty propensities? If so, I think I can manage a flock of twelve or fif teen by driving them under shelter every night, providing tbey will tol erate tbe confinement. It is very seldom that a dog attacks sheep in tbe daytime ; a pup py will occasionally do it. Housing tbe flock at night will likely prove a protection. In localities where many sheep tire kept, if a sheep is killed in pasture, a few pieces of the flesh well seasoned with strychnine, and scattered around the field, has proved a permaoeut remedy. Sheep will tolerate yarding at night, thriv ing fully as well as if left in the pas tures. I'otuwold Sneep. C. K. Ward, an extensive breeder of sheep in New York State, gives the following as his experience with the Cotswold : "I am so frequently inquired of with regard to my experience with Cotswold sheep, that 1 am induced to cive it in brief for the benefit of the readers of your paper. In com pany with my son, Franlt D. WarJ, 1 began with them in a small way, some five years since. Our flock now consists of about 300. We hav? from twenty to twentv-five first-class icrported Cotswolds and their descend' ants, with a few thoroughbreds from some of the best flocks of Canada. The balance are high grades. We have kept tbem in lots of fifty to one hundred, summer and winter, with out any inconvenience. They are very hardy, aud as free from dis ease as Merinos, and on some ac counts are more so, as they never have tbe foot disease." "They fatten much more readily than hoe wool sheep, the same amount of feed will produce more pounds of mutton and wool than in a Meriuo sheep. They feed and mature much younger, and wbeu mature, weigh about 200 pounds. We have frequently bad ewes, twen ty months old, weigh this. W e have now full-grown sheep that weih 250 to 4UV pounds, ineir mutton is worth in market one to two cents per pound more than that of fine-wool sheep." "Our thoroughbred sheep shear ten to tweuty pou ids, and tbe grades six to ten pounds. We have sold our wool from five to fifteen cents per pound .above the. price of fine wool. Have sold it tbe present year for fifty cents, when fine wool wa8 worth in this market forty cents." "The ewes are good mothers. Last year we raised about ten per cent. more lambs than we had ewes. Tbe present season we are raising ninety lambs from the same number of ewes. Our lambs from three to four months old weigh seventy-five to ninety pounds. Our experience with tbem ia quite satisfactory. Whether tbey are more profitable than other sheep every farmer must decide for himself." Ta Iteatrsy Iaae4ta. An exchange says an application of hot alum water will destroy red and black ants, cockroaches, spiders, chinch bugs, and all the crawling pests that infest our bouses in warm weather. Take two pounds of alum and dissolve it in three or four quarts of boiling water; let it stand on tbe stove till tbe alum is all melt ed, then apply while hot with a brush to every joint and crevice where you suspect there uiuy be vermin. A continuous chalk mark, half an inch in width, around a sugar box or bar rel wH keep ants out, as tbey cannot creep over it. Travelers are recom mended to carry in their satchels powdered alum or borax, and scatter it over and under their pillows, if they fear nocturnal visitors. "I say.

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vis. xgar Bitters the most wonderful In tiporant that ever sustained th sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain Ion unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter mittent 1 evers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially thoso of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Itcd, Colorado, Brazos, Uio Orande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during tho Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful inllucuce upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove tho dark colored viscid niatter with which tho bowels are loaded, at tho same time stimulating the secretions of tho liver, aud generally restoring tho healthy functions of tho digestive organs. Fortify the body asrainst disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestioy, nead ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness. Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bail Taste in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Pal pita tation of the lleart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid ncys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are tbe offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guaranteo of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or Kind's Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled 'ek. Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, .Mercurial Afflictions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Soro Eye, etc. In these, aa in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walkeb's Viseoab Bittebs have shown their great curative power in the most obstinate and intractable case. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Yitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are suhjeet to, paralysis of the Bowels. To jrnard against this, take a dose ef Walkeu's Vi.x eoar Bitters occasionally. ForJSkin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Khenm, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-head, Soro Eye?, Erysipelas. Itcb, Scurfs, Discolorations of tho Skin, Uumors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dajj up and carried ont of the' system in a short tiaie by the use of these Bitters. Tin, Tape, and other TTorms, lurking ia tho system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. 'o system of medicine, no yermifupes, no an thelmintics will free the system from worms like theso Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn ef wo manhood, cr the tarn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improTemer. is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blocd when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sore's; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is foal; yonr feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the beauh of the system will follow. R. II. .He DON ALD Si CO.. Drnf jists and (im. A irt--. Sun Fnnciscw. California, nil cor. of Waskinrton nn.l Charlton Sts.. N.
