    Sou* for My Lore.
Tour mind is a garden of flowers,
Tbr brightest that w could glow;
Refreshed by the imtiniest shower*.
Each drop tike a diamond doth grew ;
And the breere, ** it plays through your bower*.
Stays sighing, reluctant to go.
Tour breast is the home of s beauty
Delightful, and almost divine ;
A wild and irregnhw beauty,
Whcse softness and anger eomhiuo
To tore all mankind from their duty
To follow the scornfulcst sign.
Your soul, as it wrestle* within yon.
And longs ftw the time of release
As it shrink* from the breath of the sin von
Send, shameful sway from your peace--
Is an angel from hoaren to win you
And carry whore sinning will cease.

mar be nmatlM by omitting tea and
coffee, drinking large draught* of water
in th morning upon arising and at night
before retiring, and the use of stewed

To CUUW, CARPETS. —First avecp
the caipet well, and scour with warm
water to which ox-gall has been added,
in the proportion of one pint of gall to
three gallons of water. This will cleanse

Rump* FOR CORN STARTU OAKR. —The
whites of twelve egg*, three cups of
sugar. one of butter. three of flour, oue
of corn starch. one of sweet milk, two
teaspoons of cream tarter, one of soda
(half of the ingreslienta will make a large
eake.) Boat the sugar and butter to a
cream, aud then add the milk.

Another nvxle is to place in the newts
artificial or China eggs and let them pock

C OLD SLAW.— Out a cabbage in half
and with a sharp knife alia re it down
▼cry finely. Make a dressing of oue
egg well beaten, half a gill of vinegar,
salt to taste, and a teaspoonfnl of butter.
Beat the eggs light, and add t it the
vinegar, salt and hotter. As noon as the
egg i thick, take it off the fire, set it
array to cool, then ponr it over the cab
bage. and mix it well together. Some
prefer a little sugar in the egg and vin
egar.
AKHKS AND Hrx MANT RK —A corres
pondent asks if he shall mix ashes with
nen manure, for manuring corn in Uie
hill. No. If covered with moist earth,
the escaped ammonia might perhaps be
cangfat and utililixed ; but it will be bet
ter to mix the hen-droppings with plas
ter for use in the hill, and to apply the
ashes on the surface when the corn is
eight or ten inches high. The nitxo
geuixed manure will be sufficient to start
the plants, aad the potash and silica will
Wp it most when tut* stalk is gmviDg,
FRICASSEED POTATOES.— Pare and
slice, half an inch in thickness, into cold
water, the required quantity of pota
toe* and wash them well, put them into
a clean saucepan, pour over them cold
water enough to half cover them, close
the pot tightly, and let them cook fifteen
minutes ; drain off every drop of water ;
have reaily half a pint of en-am or new
milk, a large spoonful of good batter, a
teaepoonful of chopped perslev, and
aoiue salt; pour this over the potatoes,
shake them around, aud jnst heat nv.
Serve hot.
ILLKBOWINO WTNTKB GRATS.—A writer
in the Jottrnal of the Ftirm recommends
a practice which we know, bv experience
to be an excellent one— that of harrow
ing winter grain in spring as soon as the
ground settles. It is a species of grain
culture very little practiced, but pro
duces excellent results on heavy sofls,
lv an excess of wet weather,
and dried by winds and sun. The cor
respondent properly says that "in all
cases grass seed should "be sown before
harrowing ; after harrnwiug. roll with a
light roller.— Rural Xete Torlrr.
BEES ADAPTED TO LOCAUTII®.— Fred
erick William Yogel, a Prussian bee
keeper, says "An improved breed
equally suited to all parts of an exten
sive country is an impossibility. Fo;
each particular district an improved
breed specially suited may be produced.
In a cross, resulting from the Italian
queen with the black drone, degeneration
became apparent in the second genera
tion, the hybrids divided numerically,
one portion resembling the Italian, and
the other the black beoe. In the fourth
or fifth generation some of these hybrid*
reached again the pure Italian, others the
pure black bee."
How to GBOW HOGS. - A practical breed
er gives the following advioe, which, in
the main, we think sonnd, for those
whose herd is not too large, and who are
engaged in mixed husbandry : "To han
dle hogs to the best advantage, a pasture
is needed of mixed grasses, clover, blue
grass and timothy, and it is best if then*
is no running water or stock ponds in
the lot. Hogs do better where there are
no branches or stock ponds to wallow in.
In ' place thereof, have good well-water
pumped for them. Have trough* made,
and nail strips across, eight inches apart,
to keep the hogs from lying down in the
water; and let the hog* he pat on floors,
to keep them from digging up wallowing
holes. If any ft*d be given, it should
be soaked in swill barrels for twelve
hours before feeding—no longer—and
ted to them as drink."— Gernumlorn

POTATO BCO READY FOB ACTIOS.
—While grubbing out an old fence row,
adjoining a last year's potato patch, (savs
an Ohio correspondent of the Rm-al Aw
Yorker,) I discovered countless number*
of this insect in bodies of from five or
six to thirty of forty—in one case sixty
ri"® were oonnted in one cavity about
six inches below the surface ; being gen
erally assembled in cavities near the
roots of the hushes. As none could be
found in the ground composing the
potato patch, nor beneath the sod adjoin
ing the fence row, it would be natural to
suppose that they had used the roots a*
s highway to winter quarters ; whether
as an easier mode of getting into the
ground, at for some other reason, I am
at present unabfe to say. The bugs were
of full size, and to all appearance readv
for operation at the earliest opportu nit v.
As soon as they were unearthed they
. commenced their droning march, and
did not seem inclined sgwin to take their
position underground. There will be
but few potatoes planted in this vicinity
this season, and those will be of the
earliest varieties. Some there are, who
will not plant any at all, and, indeed I
think they will be gainers ; at least, they
will not be the losers.
SWEENY. —In common parlance, a horse
is said to be sweenied when the muscles
of the shoulder appear to have perished
away, and the skin seems to be attached
closely to the shoalder-blade. These
symptoms arise from chronic lameness
in the foot or other part af the limb. In
euch cases, it is of coarse, no use to ap
ply remedies to the shoulders. Cure the
foot, and the shonlder will come right,
although stimulants and nibbing will
expedite it. Bnt genuine sweeny, as I
understand it, is auite different from the
above, although the apjiearances are the
same. It is caused by hard drawing in
a collar that is too large ; or where no
whiffletree is used, bnt the traces are
hitched directly to the thills, as in "jump
ers," as they are called ; or by jumping
fences, or the like.
Ileal sweeny may be discovered by
moving the horse in a circle, or causing
him to step over bars, when yon can
generally determine the seat of the lame
ness. For such cases irritants, with the
proper friction, is the proper treatment
Blistering liniment, or seton, or a piece
of leather inserted under the skin, will
cure, with rest. The writer once cured
a horse by blistering, and upon turning
him out, some time afterward, he jumped
a high fence, and the operation had to
be gontf through again.— Rural New
Yorker.

FOULOKN INDEED. —The Marquis of
tsirne has laid himself open to sympathy,
not bemuse his young wife is not lovely
atul lovable, bnt because, as a commoner,
though a duke's son, be is debarred from
a social equality with his lady bride. At
the. recent opening of the Atliert Hall the
poor man was forced to content himself
with looking from a distance npon the
royal family in the royal box—the Prin
cess Louise being with them—nor could
he even join her in the carriage which .
took her to and from the Hall. It has
been suggested, since royal blood is of
such paramount importance, that a few
drops ef the Hanoverian stock be intro
duced by transfusion into the veins of
tliis fortunate and yet unfortunate Mar
quis of Lome.
WHAT A MAN DOER.— A French statis
tician asserts that on average man of
fifty years old lias slept 6000 days, work
ed 6500 days, amused himself 4000 days,
was eating 1500 days, and was sick 500
days. He has eaten 17,000 pounds of
bread, 16,000 pounds of meat, 4<XO
pounds of vegetables, eggs and fish, anil
drank altogether 7000 gallons of liquid—
namely, water, coffee, tea, beer, wine,
etc. This would make a respectable
lake of 300 square feet surface and three
I feet deep, on which a small steamboat
' could navigate. Very likely an average
Frenchman might have spent 4000 days
in amusement—before the war—but we
donbt if an average American does. He
does several other things, however,
which are not enumerated in the above
list.
THE STORY OF JESSIE FREMONT.— A
Washington correspondent says that,
though the marriage of his daughter
Jessie to Fremont was much against the
wishes of Thomas H. Benton, he allowed
the wedding to take plaoe at his own
house, and afterwards, carried the notice
to the office of The Globe. The elder
Blair, reading over the notice, remark
ed : " This is not the usual form,
ColoneL It reads that Miss Benton
married Mr. Fremont. Permit me to
transpose it." "No. Sir," replied Ben
ton, very emphatically. " Let it stand. |
John Cnarles Fremont did not marry
Jessie Benton, Sir; Jessie Benton mar- I
ried John Charles Fremont, Sir." [

Specie* of Seals.
There are four species of seals in our
seas. The bay seal lives on the c*ast,
frequents the mouths of rivers and har-
I bora, and is ucver found among the ice.
The harp mud, so called from having a
brood curved line of connected spots
proceeding from each shoulder and meet
ing on the I tack above the tail, forming a
| figure like au ancient harp. The old
! male animal alone ha* thi* figuring, and
j not till his second year. The third va
j riety is hooded mull, and is much larger
tlnui the harp. The male, called the dog
hood, is distinguished from the female
by a singular hood or bag f soft flesh
on his nose. When attacked or alarmed,
| they inflate this hood so a* to cover the
■ fact' and eves, and it resists seal shot,
i It is imposible to kill one of those orea
i ture*, eveu with a scaling gun, so long
as his head is toward you ; so that the
| only way is to aim at the aide of the
head, so as to strike at the base of the
■ skull. The hoods bring forth their voung
' two or three weeks later than the linrp*.
and keep farther north than the others.
The fourth s|>eoies is the square tipper.
It is largest of all, but is rarely taken on
' the coast. -The white coats, the voung
of tho harp*- ftrp the most derivable for
j capture, their oil and skin K ing the

j than to stand with hi* toes even slightly

more unnaturAl in the case of a qurnl

' feet can do no material hat in. ami i* quite
sufficient for perfect drainage. The Kst

NARROW ESTATE. — Prof. Torrey made
a balloon ascension fr<rm Dayton, Ohio,
a few tlays since, infh.tiug his ltallooti
with hot uir from a furnace set in the
ground. Just as tiie air- ship rose from
: the rth. the lower jmrt of it caught Are,
| unknown to the afmnant, who went
I through s number of evolutions on the
: trapeze suspended by nq>es from tlie car.
At the height of 1,000 feet the tire blazed
around tho balloon, which, with the
cooling of the hot sir, caused s rapid
decent. Fortunately the burning globe
came in contact with a willow tre*e, when
1 Torrey, leaping into the branches, broke
his full by snapping a large limb, and
sustained no more serious injury than a
sprained ankle as he fell uptsi tho ground.
The ascent, or more properly the descent,
is dcMcrilmd as the most exciting exhibi
tion of the kind ever witnessed in Mont

A GRAIN LAW.—A law possessed by
Illinois in relation to the trarnqtorlntiou
of grain requires railroad oomjamieq to
give full and accurate receipts for all the
grain they receive ; to deliver the samr
quantity of gnun and the same quality
a* shipped at the destination intended
by the consignor; and to transport all
grain offered, "without distinction, dis
crimination or favor between one shipper
and another, and without distinction or
discrimination an to the manner in which
such groin is offered to it for transporta
tion, or a* to the person, warehouse or
place to whom or to which it may lie
consigned." If the transportation com
pany fail to deliver the grain at the point
on their line designated, the consignor
is entitled by the law to recover of the
eompimy the full value of tho grain at
the point where it was shipped.
WHAT DID IT. —To a correspondent
who auks why so many more French
wounded died in the late war than the
German wounded, a New York pajHT
*ays: It is said in explanation of this,
that the Prnsaian bullets contained a lit
tle mercury, which is inserted in the
I sue of the ball to augment the explosive
jiowcr of the cartridge ; and that by the
action of the ga produced nt the time of
the explosion this mercury is converted
into mercurial acid of the most deleteri
ous nature, the effect of which is to
poison the blood if it remains in contact
with the ball for any time.
A QUESTION. —A young man recently
wrote to a paper, asking whether it
would be advisable for him to marry a
' ''young and tender angel, who had nev
! er done her own washing or dress-mak
-1 ing." In reply, the editor advised him
! to do so by all means, and mentioned a
I similar casein his own experience, where
j the bride had never done her awn wash-
I ing ; but after marriage she became so
■ fond of the wash-tub, us apt only to
! work for her own family, but for several
I families among her acquaintances.
Hon Winter tlrnln I* Invoking.
The Autumn aeaaon *m generally

There in no State in which Winter-killing

tainly cannot lie more fluttering. In the
following digest of the returns almost
every unfavorable statement in pre

.Vcie /iWiMi/, lu Maine there has
liecii considerable loss from Winter-kill
ing, esjMH-iully in Uieoounttea of Oxford,
PiNCutaipus, ntul Cumls-rland, during
the variable weather of February ami
March. Winter grain looks well in
York, ami rye is m line condition in
AtulrvMKHiggui. The o|m-ii Winter and
light covering of suow has left wheat uud
rye iu unpromising condition in Hills
tniro, Strafford, ami Belknap, in New
Hampshire ; while Merrimack report* Xi
proapeet above the average, and the
tirlds look well iu Sullivan. There is
htUo grown in Coo*. Vermont grains

England.
The Middle Sbttrt. But thn-e counties
in .New York, Onondagu, Schuyler, uud
Washiugtou, rejmrt more Wiutot-killing

a strong growth iu Western New York,
and though the covering of snow was
light the plant* retained their vigor
through the Winder, and are in more
than medium condition. The counties
reporting " very good," are Tioga, West
chester, Hen ecu, Steulien, and Columbia,
while Jefferson estimates her area "2D

fourtlis of the returns indicate merely an

Saturday Night.
Saturday night makes people human,
sets their hearts to lx-atiug, softly, as
they used to do before the world turned
them into drums, and jarred them to
pieces with tatoos. Tlie ledger closes
with a slash, the iron-duortd vaults come
to with n bang, up go the shutter* with
a will, cliok goes the key in the lock.
It is Mntnrday night, and we breathe free
again. Homeward, bo 1 The door that
lias boon ajar all tho week closes behind
us ; the world is shut out. Khnt out ?
Shut in rather. Here are our treasures,
after all, and not in the vault, and not in
the book —save tin? old record in the old
family bible—and not in the bank.—
Maybe vou are a bachelor, frosty and
forty. Then, poor fellow.Saturday nigh
is nothing to you. just a* v<.u an- notb
ing to anylxnly. Get a wife, blue-eyed
or brown-eyed ; lint aliove all true-eyed.
Get a little home—no matti?r how little ;
H sofa, just to hold two, or two and a
half. And then get the two, or two and a
half in it of a Saturday niglit, and then
read this paragraph by the light of your
wife's eyes, and tliank heaven and take
con rnge.— Exc/u t't'ff.
Cnrnjcoto CANNIBALS. —Some white
settlers at Viti Leon, Fegee Islands,
lately administered correction to several
of the natives who refused to give up
land which belonged to them, liy flog
ging them severely, and then rubbing
the juice of the rod-pepper plant into
their wounds. On another occasion
they cut ofl a woman's great haw with a
hammer and chisel byway of teaching
her that she should not enter their
houses without permission. If these
simple folk* do not eagerly embrace the
ways of a people who try thus to make
them long-suffering, It is certainly dis
couraging to send them missionaries.
A TOWN FRIGHTENED BV LABORERS.—
Five hundred workmen, who were em
ployed in digging a cannl in the Forest
of Hertogonwahl. marched in a body to
Vcrvieia, and demanded the payment of
their wages, for some time over-due.
Their appearance caused much excite
ment and apprehension. The gens
darnies proved untrustworthy, and were
confined to their barracks. The town
finally paid the workmen their wages,
and ail fears of a disorder were allayed.
THE FENIANS. —lt is said that the U.
8. government is about to take measures
to secure tlus release of Uie imprisoned
Fenians in Canada. There are over
twenty of them who are still imprisoned
there for participation in the last Fenian
raid. In the general settlement of our
international differences with Great
Britain, it is argued that it would be a
most fitting time to interpose the services
of tliis government to secure their re
lease.

A Komanrc In the Orient.
A singular story is told by tlie Lrvamt
//(TOW, of tVinstan tittople, as follows :
Home ten dajs ago a couple of wealthy
travelers arrived in IVra from Odcasa. aud
look up their quarters nt a private hotel
in the (irand Ituc. Thsy were, they
said, a Prince and Prince** on a travel
ing tour to Europe. The Prince lost no
time in calling on bis Atnbaandor, and
at the interview expressed his becoming
desire to present the Princess to Madame
Ignatiew. Something aliout his visitor,
however, appears to have excited the
suspicion of the Ambassador, and ho ac
cordingly pnrned the suggestion, saving
that he would first do himself the pleas
ure of visiting the Princes*. He did so
the next day, and found the couple sur
rounded by all the evidences of great
wealth. The liulv was young, hand
some, and perfectly well-liml, but some
further conversation with her husliand
confirmed (leneral Ignstiew's suspicions
that he was not what he represented.
The telegraph WAS at once set to work
to Odessa and Ht. Petersburg, and in s
a couple of days abundant evidence was
reoeived to prove that the fellow was a
low Georgian Armenian, who had made
the tour of Russia under various uliase*.
marrying no fewer than four wive*, throe
of whom he had in turn abandoned,
after obtaining possession of their
dowries. The fourth WIIS the lady who
aceompancd him to Pern. She was the
daughter of n rich landed proprietor
near the Axoff, and was married to him
only three mouth* ago, bringing a dot
of 80,000 roubles, the whole of which
the fellow realised liefore setting out on
hi* present tour.
On receiving the intelligence, General
Ignatiew took prompt measures to rflect
his arrest, but the " Prince" got wind
of the danger, and. abandoning nearly
all his luggage, decamped writh the
lady to Rodosto, whence he made for
Adrianonle. He was, however, tracked,
and on Monday last n telegram to the
Hussinu Consul secured his arrest SH he
was on the point of starting for the fron
tier. He is now on lii* way back to
Constantinople, and on arriving will lie
sent to Odessa, to IK? there handed over
t-o the Russian |ioliee.

of tlie Aleptxv in failing to touch at t'aiie
Ann, and thus relieve the deop anxiety
that would he created concerning the
fate of tlie bark'* crew, is explained by
the condition of the weather. The risk
of making Caix? Ann under sneh circum

THK PRICE AND PWIRIT or MILK.—
The wholesale milk-dealers of New
York city pay from Sc. to tie, a quart for
milk to the producers, and the cost of
freight is about 1 tc. a quart The re
tail price ranges from Bc. to l'2c. a quart,
according to the season. During tlie
past week the price has been reduced
from 10c. to Bc. This apparently leaves
the derJers from 70 to 100 per cent
profit but there are a great many items
of expense which may materially reduce
these figures. It frequently happens
that wbme cargoes of milk turn sour on
the way to the city, in which case, the
loss falls on the dealers.
