If any woman of no ue all,
Harry woman of the street,
Before the Lord should pause and fall,
And with her long hair wipe hie feet—
Ile whom with yearning hearts wo love,
And fain would sea with human oyes
Around our living pathway move,
And underneath our daily skies—
The Maker of the heavens and earth, •
The Lord of life, the Lord of death,
In whom the universe had birth,
But breathing of our breath ono breath—
If any woman of the street
Should kneel, and with the lifted mesh
Ot her long tresses wipe his feet,
And with her kisses kiss their flesh—
How round that woman would wo throng,
How willingly would clasp her hands
Fresh from that touch divine, and long
To gather up the twice-blest strands I
How eagerly with her would change
Our Idle Innocence, nor heed
Her shameful memories and strange
Could we but also claim that deed!

AoDETECTITE'S EXPERIENCE.
A. low vine-clad cottage, with green creepers
shading the doorway. A young girl peered
front the tangled foliage out into the darkness ;
the young face wore an anxious look, and the
eves were sad with sorrow. Tile bright golden
curls were tnrown Melt tun. a MAIO m nano
was lifted to the ear as if to catch the first echo
of a footstep. The light from the room flashed
over the sunny tresses that shone in the glare
like a golden crown. Suddenly the report of
a pistol rent the air, and a man staggered and
fell at her feet.
The noise of the street had long died out.
The busy city was sunk to rest the wild fever
that had burned along its arteries had ceased ;
in that secluded spot no sound was heard, save
the pistol shot and the death rattle as the vic
tim's pallid face was raised appealingly.
"These were the facts as they were related
to Mr. I— and myself," said Mr. F---,
"an hour afterwards."
The head of the dead man was pillowed on
his daughter's lap, and to the stiffened lips she
pressed her own repeatedly. But friends in
terposed, and the man was carried into the
house.
"Have you an idea who did it ?" I asked of
the young lady.
She hesitated for a moment. Not even her
overwhelming sorrow had power to suppress
the blush that stained neck and face wall a
burning glow.
"I have none 1" she saldfalterlngly.
I did not believe her. • Whoever the assassin
was, she knew ;him. I was satisfied of this,
although some reason, for which I could not
then account, kept her silent. This was all
the public learned from the daily papers. It
was related in the Picayune as all, and for
awhile it passed from men's thoughts. But
you know what others. forget we remember.
The detective's work is never done. The
clue lost must be regained. But in this in
stance the mystery seemed impenetrable. Still
the belief that the girl knew by whom the shot
was fired, kept her constantly in my mind.
watched her incessantly. I searched out her
history—learned of her loves—her courtships
the secrets that young ladies guard so
sacredly. I ascertained from them that she
had been addressed by a young man or disso
lute habits, and a wild, wayward character.
She was an heiress in 'her own right, but her
fortune depended on her marrying with her
father's consent. I now settled in my own
mind who was the murderer. But I had no
proof. Since the night of the tragedy he had
not come near her. But something assured
me that an interview would yet take place.
To this end I waited patiently.
It was Mardi-Gras—the night of the carni
val. The brilliantly lighted city was wild with
excitement. The population was en mane.
The sound of music—the sound of echoing
feet—reached the street from many a palatial
home and public building—a night of revelry.
I stood in the centre of a room thronged with
dancers, my eyes never straying from a blue
domino. I had traced it here ; I know the lady
who wore it ; I had seen the miliner who
fashioned it ; had seen it fitted to the beautiful
face. I had not lost sight of her from early
dawn. She was standing underneath the
clunideller when a man approached her dress
ed as a harlequin. Instinct would have told
mo who it was, had I not heard the sound of
his voice—the simple word—
'w ary 1 ,,
The grl trembled violently, but I heard the
Vetol37 . —
" Murderer I"
"It was for love of you !"
It was forlove of my money—go I I have
not and will not hetrayyou. But I will never
willingly look on your face again." ,
"You will desert me then r
"Would you havo me marry the man who
killed my parent 4"
"Mary, what else could I do I"
I did not wait for the reply. I had proof
enough now. I whispered in his ear and he
followed me from the room.
" You are my prisoner !"
"For what ?" ho required haughtily.
"For murder !" I replied, looking at him
steadily in the eye. Ho bore the look unflinch
ingly for a moment and then , broke clown
uttterly.
" Mary has betrayed me !" he said.
"Not so I but I heard your conversation I"
" No matter, I will confess it," and he did.'
It is useless to repeat the recital. It was such
a wild, impetuous nature inured to crime
would be likely to make. A great effort was
made by his friends to save him, but in vain.
The crime he perpetrated was too cruel—the
deed, so heartless. Ho is in middle ago, but
his hair is white, and his face is wrinkled with
care—an old man, whom remorse has cheated
of youth. The girl yet lives in the city un
married. She has a strange heart, and a mind
warped by affection. She refused to testify
even at the Mal.
ANEODOTES OF JAMES T. BRADY.
THE BARER TRIAL
The trial of Baker for the murder of Poole
furnished a notable instance of Mr. Brady's in
trepidity in behalf of a client. It was at the
height of the " Know-Nothing" excitement,
and Poole, after receiving the fatal bullet,
having exclaimed, "I die an American," suc
ceeded in causing himself to be regarded as a
martyr to the cause. Lingering for days with
—as the posttnorlem proved—a bullet deeply
imbedded in his heart, the interest and excite
ment became intense ; and on the day of his
funeral, twenty thousand men walked in sol
emn procession behind the comn of the mar
tyred "rough." In such a state of public feel.
ing Baker was put on trial for his life. At the
opening of the charge by the judge, aroused
by its tenor, Mr. Brady seized a pen and com
menced writing rapidly, indignation showing
itself in his set lips and frowning brow. Tho
moment the judge had ceased he was on his
feet and began : " You have charged the jury
thus and thus. I protest against your so stat
ing it." The judge said he would listen to
the objections after the jury had retired.
"No," exclaimed the indignant orator, "I
choose that the jury shall hear the objections;"
and, defying interference, he poured forth
Impetuously forty-five separate and formal ob
jections couching them all emphatically in
words of personal protest to, the juclge. The
force of . the judge's charge on that jury was
pretty effectually broken. The indignation of
the advocate at this time was real, not simula
ted; and he, at least, of the. New York bar,
dared to defy and to denounce injustice, even
when clad in ermine. Of such were those
brave, elder members of the legal profession,
who in former days and other lands, kept alive
the fires of civitliberty. .
After two trials here he obtained a change
of venue, and the trial was transferred to
itNew
burg. This gave rise o another incident,
which Brady was fen( of telling, especially
when lie wished to c • arm prejudice against
the looks of any witness or client. The trial
was to be held before Judge Charles A. Pea
body, in the Supreme Court. The judge,
lawyers, high sheriff, deputies, and prisoner
all went up in the cars to Fishkill. The streets
were crowded by thousands, eager to see the
prisoner. As they passed to the boat to cross
over to Newburg, the judge happened to take
the arm of High Sheriff \Meta. Some one
recognizing the sheriff, pointed out his com
panion as the accused murderer, with "Don't
you see his d—d bloodthirsty face I" fancying,
as Brady would say, they saw all the linea
ments of a brutal murderer, in the calm, bland
features of his Honor.
THE BUSTEED CABE
Another instance of Lis intrepidity before a
judge was in the Busteed case. The judge had
threatened to convict him foccontempt. Bus
teed had apologized ; and Brady also, with
his matchless grace and courtesy, had ten
dered Busteed's apology . ; but the judge, still
said that he should send him to prison. " You
will, will you ?" said Brady. "I say you will
not !" . And, citing authority after authority
against hid power to so, he dared him to thus
stretch his prerogative. The judge thought
best to excuse Mr. Busteed. The fertility of
his mind and its rapidity of action, as shown .
in drawing the objections in the Baker trial,
were once illustrated on an occasion when, on
a case being called, Mr. Brady answered that
his side was ready. The opposite counsel also
stated that he was ready, and appeared for
the plaintiff. "No," said Brady, "I am for
the plaintiff •" adding, " I think I must know
which side 'I am on . ' However, he was, at
last, convinced that he was mistaken. So,
gathering up his papers, he requested his Hon
or to excuse him for twenty minutes, as he
saw lie was for the defendants instead of, as lie
had erroneously supposed, for the plaintiffs,
adding, "and, from my knowledge of the
merits of the ease, I am heartily glad that I
am to defend instead of prosecute !" He left
the room, returned In twenty minutes, tried,
and iron the cause.
. .
.NU QUICi.+
The Dom Luther R. Marsh
in gives an In- '
stance of Mr. Brady's fertility an impor 1
taut case to which ho himself bad given '
thorough and, as he felt, exhaustive prepara- '
tion. He asked Mr. Brady to antist him on
the trial, Brady having had nn previous
knowledge of the case. "Go on and open
your case fully, use all your points without
regard to me,' said Brady. Mr. Marsh did
so, and sat down, wondering what new mat
ter Mr. Brady could find to say. To his as
tonishment Brady rose and presented seven
new and striking points.
Of his quickness in the law of a case an in
stance is given where a recent decision ad
verse to his position was introduced. Taking
the book in his hand he said it does not ap
pear whether this case has been heard in the
Court of Appeals, but whim it is it will be re
versed for such and such reasons; which
eventually proved to be the exact reasons
given by the court for reversing the decision.
Conceding all his. wonderful brilliancy and
originality, Judge Daly states, however, that
his greatness as- a lawyer lay in his sound
judgment in the general management of a
case. It is stated that in no • case involving
constitutional questions have his arguments
been reversed in the highest appellate court.
Of his manner, Mr. Porter says, "who can
ever forget Ihe peculiar mahner of his we have
all felt and none can descdbe. It wits evan
escent as the fragrance of the rose." From
the time he entered the court-room his. by
play with ,the jury comminced. •He made
himself perfectly at home with them. It is
said that be never lost a caw in which he was
before a jury for more than a week ; by that
time they saw everything with his eyes. He
was counsel in fifty-two capital cases, in not
one of which was he over unsuccessful, ex
cept in that of Beall, who was tried by a
court-martial at Fort Lafayette, on charge of
being a "spy and guerilla."
It is related that once having successfully
defended a man charged with murder, as he
was leaving the court the judge said, "Mr.
Brady, the next case Is that of a man charged
with murder ; he has no counsel, can you de
fend hint?" " Certainly," said Brady, and
instantly went on with the trial. The judge
assigned him in the same way to two others
charged with a similar crime ; so, that'in suc
cession, he defended and cleared four capital
cases, giving a „week's unrequited time to these
four criminals. He was obliged to decline to
follow this up in the case of the next
man, charged with burglary, who, hav
ing no counsel, desk/4 hint to be assigned to
him.
The case of a young man who was charged
with murder in what was claimed an accident
al fracas, attracted a good deal of interest. Ile
was a Mason, and that society applied to Mr.
Brady to defend him, tendering him twenty
five hundred dollars as a fee ,• but for some
cause he declined the case. Not long after,
one afternoon, a neatly dressed, modest young
girl came to the office and asked for Mr.
Brady. Told to walk into Ids private office,
she timidly approached his desk and saying :
"Mr. Brady, they are going to hang my
brother, and you can save him I. I've brought
you this money, please don't let my brother
die I" she burst into tears. It was a roll of
$250 Which the poor girl bad begged In sums
of five and ten dollars. The kind hearted man

A REMEDY FOR THE BORER
At a late meeting of the New York Horti
cultural Society the subject of a remedy for
the fruit-tree borer was taken up, and Mr. R.
H. Williams said, "A friend of mine has rid
his trees of the borer by driving nails into them.
The oxide of iron gets into the sap, and the
borer don't fancy the taste of it." Our old
friend, Dr. Trimble, denied this, saying,
"There is no science at all in this statement."
The Doctor is great on "science." Mr. Wil
liams rejoined, " Science or ignorance it has
the sanction of a thorough trial. Those trees
in a large orchard that had nails in them were
free of borers, those not thus treated all had
borers in the trunk."
Now, did Mr. Williams know this to be from
hie own observation ? He says a friend told
him. But:we want no second-hand state
ments. If this should prove to be true be has
made a great discovery and deserves the best
thanks of the community. But we have no
faith in the actuattrUth of the statement. We
have experimented with spikes driven in trees,
old iron placed in the branches, as well as
buried at the roots, and the only effect the
whole had was that the spikes damaged the
trees permanently. Mr. W. may rely upon it,
the iron remedy is worthless.
'But, in this same discusSion, up rose Mr.
Carpenter, who spoke honest common-sense
as follows : " A good way to prevent the rav
ages of the borer is to lash a piece of strong
paper or cloth smeared with grafting wax
around the trunk close to the ground.'
Mr. C. might have stopped at the word cloth
and the object would be attained. lVe in
traduced this method full twenty years ago.
Some adopted it on our recommendntion,others
shook their heads and regarded it as all moon
shine; while others thought it too much trouble.
The best way is to take pieces of old cloth or
strong paper, allowing it to go an inch under
ground and six inches 'above, and secure it
firmly with cotton twine, and it will remain
on until the following spring when it ought
to be renewed. The bug which lays the egg
does it in the mild sunny days of March. The
eggs are deposited on the warm side of the
stem from one to three inches from the ground.
In a short time they are hatched by the sun
and the minute worm crawls down the .tree
until it -meets the ground, or a little below,
where the bark is tender, nruLthere commen
ces its labors of penetrating through the bark.
Its work is gradtial and grows more difficult,.
but its strength increases with its age, and it
soon shelters itself in the solid wood of the
tree, where before it comes forth the perfect
bug, ready to take wing, it remains two years.
Our bandage system not only prevents the
deposit of the eggs, but also protects the place
of entrance into the tree. The bug will lay
nowhere else than at its chosen spot, and never
upon the bandage. We repeat that we have
tried this for twenty years, and in no single
case where a tree was free from the borer when
planted, has one ever been found in them. It
is a literal imposibility to get there if any at
tention it given to the bandaging.—Gerinan

CHURCH STREET, YOWL—The move
ment of life in New York is so rapid, fashion .
and trade sweep from one point to another
with such impetuosity, that the romance of
changed interest can be enjoyed in the same
spot twice or thrice in a lifetime. The sorry
streets of to-day will disappear within a dozen
years, and the instant they are gone, or seem
just at the moment of the final lapse, they have
passed into the realm of romance.
Here is Church Street, for instance. It is
not very tong, and you turn into it from Ful
ton or from Canal. So turned the Easy Chair,
and there was the long, narrow vista, walled
by lofty buildings, the spacious houses of trade,
built yesterday, piled with dry-goods, bold
with prosperous newness, but instantly sug
gesting the street of palaces in Genoa. And a
few rods off some old Knickerbocker is grave
ly stalking down Broadway, who has not
turned aside into Church Street for many a
reScalbi7l,WmPungrel,pareiligintAt
henna. SO it was a dozen years ago. Once
also it was the Black Broadway. It was a
kind of voluntary Ghetto of the colored people.
Then again it was an offshoot of the Five
Points. There were low ranges of dingy
buildings. Dirty men and women slouched
on the walk and lounged out of the windows,
and their idle, ribald laughter echoed along
the street that few carriages traversed. Dens
of every kind were just around the corner.
Slatternly women, emptied slops upon the
pavement, and the stench was perpetual.
Dirty little children screamed and played, and
sickly babes squalled unheeded. It was a
street fallen out of Hogarth ; the Street of
worst repute in the city. And now it is a
double range .of stately buildipg, symmetrical,
massive. Horse-cars struggle on it with the
light carts of the dry-goods dealers, with the
slow, enormous teams that shake the ground.
At every corner there is an inextricable snarl
of wagons, and porters are heaving boxes, and
young; clerks are directing, and huge windows
are filled with huge pattern-cards, so that the
narrow way is tapestried. " Look out ther6
cries a porter-compelling clerk to the Easy
Chair, which smiles to reflect that only yes
terday it was in Exchange Place, and Pearl
Street, ,and elsewhere that the peremptory
youth was ordering him to mind his eye. And
if the employer who now sits in that spacious
office opposite had known that his clerk was
familiar with Church Street, ho would have
warned him of the gates of destruction, and
have admonished him that Church Street,
though a narrow street, was a broad way.
Here is one wall which survives from the pre
historic days of thirty years ago—it is the rear
wall of the old hospital, that blessed green spot
in the midst of the city, which is to be green
no more, but will be soon piled with more pal
aces. And opposite this wall is a short street
running from Church to West Broadway. A
very few years ago this was ono of the worst
* of city slums. At the corner of West Broad
way a wooden building still remains—a sullen,
sickly, defiant cur of a building, that sits and
snarls impotent over the savagery departed.
And there is one tall rookery still—a tenement-
house, with a system of fire-escapes in front';
and the slattern slopping at the curb as in the
ancient day ; and a cooper's shop, and a black
smith's, and one, two, three—how many
whisky shops? But they are all faint and
feeble and submersed in the lofty buildings,
and to-morrow all trace of them will be gone.
And them who will remember the murder ?
The mysterious, awful, romantic murder. The
murder that tilled all the newspapers and fed
speculation at all the corner groggeries and in
all offices. The murder that was done into a
romance, and of which the hero, that is the
murderer, was acquitted after ono ofthe famous
eloquent criminal appeals which are so effective
because their power Is measured by human
life. And this hero occasionally reappears in
the newspapers even to this day. Somebody
writes from a remote somewhere that on a
steamer far away a mysterious man, after much
mysterious conduct, imparts the awful truth
that he is the hero. Does he sometimes re
turn to this spot? Does he look at the site of
the house where the deed was done? Does
ho appear In the guise of a merchant, a jobber,
a retailer from that remote southwestern some
where, and higgle and chaffer In the noble
warehouse on the very site of the wretched
building where he murdered his mistress?
Good Heavens I do you see that man of about
those years, loOking about as if to find a sign
or a number (as if lie didn't know the very
place I as if it were not burne'd and cut Into
his heart and conscience I) ? Do you think it
could possibly be he, or is it, after all, only the
honest Timothy Tape, the modest retailer
from Skowhegan or Palmyra? The typhus
fever used to rage here ; the cholera was fear
ful. The Sanitary Report says that there were
always cases of the worst diseases to be found
here. The city missionaries also used to find
their worst .cases here too ; and now—what

GASTRONOMY
To FRY OYBYERB.—UBO the large.sized fat
oysters, wipe them dry, and pass them through
whipped egg and biscuit crumbs, and fry them
in butter over a very clear fire. As soon as
thOy are a light brown they aro done ; they
must be turned in the pan to brown both sides,
and served on a hot napkin garnished with
parsley. They should be eaten with brown
bread and butter, lemon juice, cayenne pep
per, and raw celery, and sent to table the in
stant they are cooked, as if allowed to stand
they become hard and uneatable. Biscuit
crumbs are in all cases better for use than
bread crumbs, and more economical. The
plain thick water-biscuits can be pounded to a
flour, and kept in a tin always ready for use.
WAVFLEB on Mu FINS.—For a family of
five or six, take one pint sweet milk, a pinch
of salt, four tablespoons of yeast; flour to
thicken to a batter; when raised sufficiently
add two table-spoons of butter. Bake in waffle
irons. Same will do for muffins. If for im
mediate use, use baking powder or cream of
tartar and soda for raising.
FAMY BISCUITS.—Rub two ounces of butter
with half a pound of flour, add four ounces of
sugar and a feW drops of almond flavoring,
mix with the white of an egg, and a table
spoonful of milk ; work well Into the paste two
ounces of sweet almonds well pounded ; rub
through a wire sicvo ; take up pieces the size
of a sixpence, bake a few minutes on buttered
paper, taking care to keep them quite a.palo
color.
LEMON GINGEIIIIIIEAD.—Grato the rinds of
three lemons, mix the Juice with a glass of
brandy.; mix the grated lemon-peel in one
pound of flour, make a hole and pour in halt a
pound of treacle, add half a pound of butter
warmed, the brandy and lemon juice ; mix all
together, with half nn ounce of ginger, and
bake in thin cakes in a slow oven.
JIBE OF VINEGAR IN COOKINO MEATS.—AII
kinds of poultry and meats can be much
quicker cooked by adding to the water in which
they are boiled about one eighth part vinegar.
By the use of this there will be a considerable
saving of fuel ns well as - a shortening of time.
Its action is very beneficial on old, tough
meats, rendering them quite tender and easy
to be, digested. Tainted meats and fowls will
also lose their bad taste and odor if cooked in
this way, and if no more vinegar is added
than we have indicated there will be no taste
of vinegar acquired.
Ws:TAIL I,onsvini SAUCE.—Take a fresh hen
lobster full of spawn, put the spawn and the
red coral into a mortar, add to it half an ounce
of cold clarified marrow, pound it quite smooth,
and rub it through a hair sieve with a wooden
spoon, pull the mert of UM lobster to pieces
with forks, put it in a basin, and pour a small
quantity of vinegar over it, just enough to give
it sharpness, cut ono ounce of fresh butter Into
little bits, put it into a sauce-pan Atli!' a des
sert-spoonful of fine flour, mix the butter and
flour together into a paste before you put it on
the fire,•then stir in two table-spoonfuls of
milk over the stove (with the water boiling
round the double) ; when well mixed add six
table-spoonfuls of lobster jelly, stir all the
-same way, and when thoroughly blended and
the consistence of cream put in the meat of the
lobster, to which the vinegar was added, but
previously drain it well from the vinegar by
laying it on a cloth for a minute or two ; stir
the lobster and the sauce together till the lob
ster is hot, and then having at hand a small
empty double sauce-pan, with boiling water,
pour n small quantity of the lobster sauce Into
the empty double, and mix-in the lobster paste
made with marrow till thoroughly blended,
then pour the whole back to the lobster, and
after well stirring it Is ready. The lobster
jelly is made from the shell of the lobster,
which, having been previously broken small
and stewed well in a very clean digester, and
treated in the same way as bones, will (when
cold) produce a jelly highly flavored with lob
ster, which adds very much to the flavor of
the sauce. The lobster paste made with the
also for its taste, but its scarlet color will be
destroyed by too long exposure to the heat
it is, therefore, very desirable that it should
be put In nt the very last and mixed as quickly
as possible.
GOOD Roam—One pint of now milk, one
pound white sugar and two eggs beaten, stir
these up with some flour into a sponge, add
yeast and set to rise at night. When light
next day add sufficient flour to make a soft
dough and let it rise, then mould in pans, and
when light, proceed to bake. Add a tablespoon
of melted lard or'buttor to the sponge.
To IlEmovr: GlitEAsm SPOTS.—Put on pow
der of French chalk, and place a piece of blot
ting paper over it; then pass a hot Iron over
the blotting paper. The heat liquifies the
grease, the chalk absorbs it, and the excess of
grease is absorbed by the blotting paper.
To PRESERVE: CRANDERILIEB.--If cmnberries
are dried a short time In the sun and placed in
bottles tilled with them, closed with sealing
wax, the berries will keep in good condition
for several years.
FLOWER BEDS.
To cultivate flowering plants to the best ad
vantage, requires as much care in the selection
and preparation of the soil as any other crop.
No one would expect to grow a crop of cab
bages in soil overrun by the roots of trees and
shaded continuously by their dense foliage ;
yet how often do we observe flowering plants
placed in such circumstances, producing a few
meagre flowers the early portion of the season,
perhaps, and dwindling and dying as soon as a
few dry sunny days occur. Most summer
flowering plants blossom on the points of
branches, and therefore to produce a continu
ance of flower, there must be a continued
healthy and vigorous growtli. It is true there
arc some flowers adapted to shade, like the
fuchsias, daisies, &c., and these should b se
lected for such positions. Heliotropes and
some of the geraniums do dwell where there
is sun only a few hours a-day.
Select an open exposure where the sun will
have free Access to the plants, dig the ground
very deep, and dress heavily with thoroughly
decomposed manure, so that the roots may have
some supporting resort when the surface mois
ture falls.
A small circular or ova) bed ten or twelve
feet in-diameter, properly prepared and plant
ed with flowers from pots, will produce a con
tinued mass of flowers even in the driest sum
mers. In arranging the plants, there Is much
latitude for taste, and very striking combina
tions may be secured.
Rose beds aro much more beautiful and sat
isfactory, when only a few well-known, hardy,
and continued-blooming kinds are employed,
than when planted Indiscriminately, with ro
bust and tall-growing sorts crowding those of
more delicate growth. In larger yards, where
several beds can be made, there will be a bet
ter opportunity for a display of this kind of
cultivated taste.
DUTIES of SOLDIERB.—A certain Confeder
ate regiment that served during the war in the
Western Department was commanded until
after the battle of Murfreesboro by a colonel
who was a foreigner by birth, but a soldier by
choice and education. He never learned to

loss of life it was likely to involve, lie, hap
pening to be present, bawled out : What,

At the battle of Murfreesboro, when a cer
tain brigade was ordered forward, on Wednes
day, to assist in the attack on the Federal
right, the regiment commanded by the foreign
officer referred to met with such a furious re
ception from "the boys of the West," as they
prided In calling themselves, that it wavered,
and was on the point of failing into 060:talon,
when, it is said, ho instantly brought the men
to a sense of their duties and responsibilities
by dashing madly along the line, brandishing
hie sabre over their heads, and shouting at the
top of his. voice, "Go up tab, men I Go up

THE EI , WLISII SPARROWS, AGAIN.—A wri

speaks from his own knowledge, says, that.
the English Sparrows be found ae great a
nuisance as the worms. He says that while
they may destroy the worm that preys upon
the shade trees of the city, "they will also de
stroy other worms andlnsects which are friend
ly to us and which arc parasites of other insects
worse than these tree-worms." He says far
ther, "The English sparrows are fearfully de
structive of fruit, especially cherries and straw
berries when ripe, and they even devour the
buds ..of pear, apple, peach and cherry trees
while In a tender state just before blossoming;
In the early spring, insects being scarce, the
sparrows are compelled to feed upon tender
fruit and flower buds, and they have been
known to strip whole orchards and gardens,
not only of their fruit-buds, but even of the
leaves and flower-buds."
If his statements are corriEt, and he voucheS
for it, we have got ourselves Into a pretty
