TIIE CHILD'S TRUST HYMN.
T LOGAV.
3fy Shepherd is Jesus and strong is his arm
Bit Iambs to defend and shield them from harm ;
He takes to his bosom the wee ones to rest ;
And there they are carried, and sheltered, and blest.
What hare I to fear with a Shepherd so kind ;
He is ears to the deaf, he is eyes to the blind,
He is strength to the weak, and support to the lame ;
He brings back the wand'rer, to trait in his name.
I lore my dear Shepherd, he draws to his fold, "
"With the chords of a man, the young and the old :
Io wolf there can harm them, no thief ean invade ;
The Shepherd defends them, and gives them his aid.
My Shepherd is Jesus, he calls me by name;
He bore all my sin, and he carried my shame :
His blood, which was shed as my ransom from sin,
"Will present me to God pare and holy within.
Sly Shepherd is Jesus, I know well his voice ;
It gladdens my heart, and it makes me rejoice :
He leadeth me oat where the pastures are green ;
And maketh me lie where still waters are seen.
Although but a child, yet a pilgrim I am ;
My Shepherd is Jesus, and I am his Iamb :
He'll open the pathway to mansions of love,
I'll go and be with him forever above.
APRIL.
April is a fitful child,
Fall of wayward fancies,
Laughing, weeping, sober, wild,
Sunny, showery, frantic, mild -
Anything that chances.
April is a ficklo fool.
Knowing not his season ;
Like a trnant out of school.
Oat of temper, ont of rule,
Oat of rhyme and reason.
April is a mere coquette,
Ill-behaved in meeting ;
TV arm and cool, and dry and wet,
Apt to tantalize aud fret
Very fund of cheating.
April is a faithless youth,
Speaks but to undo it ;
Like a broken limb, or tooth,
Trust his honor or his truth,
And you'll aurcly rue it.
April is an arrant wag,
Fall of idle humors;
Apt to grumble, apt to brag,
Sure to give your hopes the bag
Ere they come to bloomers.
April will not tend your sheep,
He will kill or lose them ;
Rive him what you will to keep,
He will wake and be will sleep
Only to abuse them.
What is like an April day,
Save a broken promise h
When he sweeps the clouds a way,
Smiling softly who can say
What of that to come is I
A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.
In the year 1776, the British took posses
sion of the city of New Tork. On that occa
sion, a gentleman moving into Jersey, took
with him a folio volume of Hervey's works,
from London's Library. In the year 1779,
the book lying in a window bench during a
ahower of rain, was much wet. Upon exam
ining the damage it had received, some writ
ing was perceived through the paper pasted on
the insido of the cover. When the paper was
loosened, the following lines were found writ
ten on it, apparently intended as a prophecy.
It was shown to a great number of persons at
the time, among whom was General Washing
ton, and was considered a very great curiosi
ty. The copy from which this has been made,
was taken by a lady from the original, about
the time it was first discovered.
Anno Domini, 1765, June 12th.
Rett paper silent in the antique chest,
And with thee thy contents in slumber rest.
Till known from truth, or oracular if penn'd,
Events shall speak and actions crown the end.
Within nine years before thy sleeping eyes.
Fierce wars and wars wild rumors shall arise ;
The younger growth, the elder shall withstand,
And plant new banners in thy native land,
Tet in ten years! an empire shall divide
No veteran power shall stem the opening tide,
Kor in the breach shall mediator stand,
Bat those whose hostile force shall heal the land,
Nor civil, nor religiously free,
Within themselves despotic crowns shall be,
Through policy of power and interest joined
Pretectors of the right of human kind.
In fourteen years) the empire of the sea
To other sceptres shall translated be ;
The realm bereaved in silence drop her chains.
And leave her charge to freedom and to fame.
This brings ns to the year 1774, when the acts
of Parliament were resisted by the destruction of
the tea at Boston ; in 1775 actual hostilities were
commenced.
1 1784, when the Independence of the United
States was universally acknowledged.
France.
$ This brings us to 1814, when the American Na
val triumps commenced.
Riisixo Potatoes Uxdek Shaw. In the
May No. of the Cultivator, I asked your sub
scribers to try the experiment of raising po
tatoes under straw, promising that I would do
so and give the result. On the 8th of June I
put about half a bushel or very small potatoes
in a corner of the field, on the sod, and cov
ered them with about eight or nine inches of
straw. A few days after we had rain, and the
potato grew astonishingly, so that this fall I
collected about a bushel of Urge and sound
potatoes. I was obliged to take them up ear
ly, on the 5th of September, as the field was
cleared of grain and stock turned into it.
Four persons of this county have tried the
same experiment, and succeeded beyond their
most sanguine expectations. This is certain
ly a cheap way of raising potatoes, and pieces
of land, which, from stones or stamps, would
be lost, are thus turned to profit. Country
Gtniltmtn.
Among the advertisements in slate London
paper, we read that "Two sisters want wash
ing." He that knows useful things, and not he
that knowa many things, is the wise man.

The sunshine or life is made up of vary few
beams that are bright all the time.
A blithe heart makes a blooming visage.
An affecttd superiority spoils company.

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, a compound
remedy, in which we have labored to produce
the most effectual alterative that can be made. It
is a concentrated extract of Para Sarxaparilla, so
combined with other substances of still greater al
terative power as to afford an effective antidote for
the diseases Sarsapartlla is reputed to cure. It is
believed that such a remedy is wanted by those
who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove of
immense service to this large class or our afflicted
fellow citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many of the
worst eases to be found of the followingcomplaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints, Eruptions
and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches,
Tumors. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and
Syphilitic affections. Mercurial Disease, Dropsy,
Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dyspepsia
and Indigestion. Erysipelas, Rose or St. Antho
ny's Fire, and indeed the wbole class of com
plaints arising from Imparity of the Blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter
of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the
foul humors which foster in the blood at that sea
son of the year. By the timely expulsion of them
many rankling disorders are nipped in the. bud
Multitudes ran, by the aid of this remedy, spare
themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions
and ulcerous sores, through which the system will
strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to
do this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitia
ted blood whenever you find its impurities burst
ing through theskin in pimples, eruptions, or sores;
cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and slug
gish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul,
and yourfeelings will tell you when. Even where
no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.
Keep the body healthy, and all is well ; but with
this pabulum of life disordered, there can be
no lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or altogether overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has. and deserves much, the repu
tation, of accomplishing these ends. But the
world bas been cgregiously deceived by prepara
tions of it, partly because the drug alone has
not all the virtue that is claimed fur it, but more
because many preparations, pretending to be
conccntrrted extracts of it, contain but little of
the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During late years the publis have been misled
by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Ex
tract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these
have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only
contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla. but often no cu
rative properties whatever, ilence.bitterand pain
ful disappointment has followed th use of the va
rious extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the mar
ket, until the name itself is justly despised, and
has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and
intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue
the name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have good ground for
believing it bas virtues which are irresistable by
the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to
cure. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should be judi
ciously taken according to directions on the bottle.

rr-IIE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1S58-0.
X. The successful laying of the trans-Atlantic
Telegraph Cable marks a new era in the histo
ry of Human Progress. Henceforth. Europe,Wesi
ern Asia and Northern Africa lie within an hours'
dis:ancc from our shores, and the battle which de
cides the fate of a kingkom, the capture of a Vi
enna or Giberaltar, the fall of a dynasty, tbe tri
umph of a usurpation, the birth of an heir to roy
alty, the death of a Nicholas or Wellington, in any
country which touches the Mediterranean, the Eu
xine. the Blnek Sea or the German Ocean, will be
published in New-York the next morning, if nvt
on tbe very day of its occurrence. In a moment
as it were, we have been thrown into the immedi
ate intellectual neighborhood of the whole civilis
ed and a large portion of the semi-barbarous worlJ.
Tbe rise and fall of stocks in London or Paris will
henceforth be reported from day to day in the jour
nals of our seaboard cities. The boldest operators
in Wall-street wtll refuse to buy or sell until they
have read tbe quotations of that day's business on
tbe Royal Exchange and at the Bourse, wIicm
transactions will have closed an hour or so before
ours can begin. A revolution in Paris, an impor
tant vote in Parliament, an insurrection in Italy,
a fire in Constantinople, will be discussed around
the breakfast-tables of New Xork a few hours af
ter its occurrence. A mighty though silent trans
formation in tbe condition of human existence has
just been effected by the little wire stretching a
cross the ocean's bed from the coast of Ireland to
that of British America, and one inevitable result
of this must be an unexampled community of feel
ing and interest among tbe nations of Christen
dom, and a consequent desire for a more intimate
aqcuaintance with each other's doings through the
medium of the Newspaper Press. It seems hardly
possible that thousands should not henceforth reg
ularly read their own journals, who have hitherto
been content with an occasional glanoe at thusa
taken by their neighbors; while many who have
hitherto been content with a Weekly issue will
now require a Semi-Weekly or Daily. In short.
Intelligence, always a vital element of growth ia
wisdom, success in business, or enjoyment lu life,
has now become indispensable to all.
The New 1'ori Tribune, now more thsTHueven
teen years old, which was tbe first journaTin tbe
world that appeared regularly on an imperial b
page sheet at so low a price as twocents. and which
has attained tbe unparalleled aggregate of more
than 200.000 subscriptions, respectfully solicits its
share of the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy weekly
cost, to deserve. It asks especially the patronage
and active favor of Rep,dJieana of those who
hate all forms of oppression, and desire that eve
ry rational being shall be free. to employ his facul
ties in such innocent manner as he snail deem best
of those who would extend Liberty and limit
Slavery but it further appeals likemfse to all who
look aud labor for the return of National thrift
plenty, prosperity, through the Protection of A
merican Industry by wisely discriminating duties
on Imports all who favor National Progress thre'
internal development and amelioration rather
than by external aggression and extension all
who would rather have the National resources de
voted to the construction of a Railroad to the Pa
cific than to the purchase or conquest of Mexico
Nicaragua or Cuba all who would retrench radi
cally our present inordinate Federal expenditures
by abolishing or immensely roducing the Army
and Navy, aud expending the money thus savea
on works of beneficence which will endure to bless
our children all who profoundly realise that
uRishteonsness exalteth a nation," and that no
real advantage can ever accrue to any person or
community from acquisitions or successes achiev
ed by means which contravene the laws of Eternal
Right The free allotment of limited po.tions of
the Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon, acd
every hopeful plan intended to diminish tbe sum
of human misery from dearth of employment or
inadequate recompense every scheme especially
that seeks to help the unfortunate by enabling and
teaching them to help themselves must command
our earnest sympathy and co-operation
Within the presentyear. The Tribune has provl-
2 nn W' , ?CW nd UMT Pw" Wt of
S.J0.000, merely that some of our subscribers may
receive their papers a mail earlier than tbey oth
erwise might do. With correspondents at the most
important points throughout the civil ized world
and a staff of writers chosen from among the best
in the country, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics of our sheet concede to it frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability in main
taining them. We appeal, then, to thoe who be
lieve that an increased circulation of The Tribun
would conduce to the political, intellectual and
moral well-being of the Republic, to aid in effect
ing auch increase. As we employ no travelling:
solicitors of subscriptions, we ak our present pa
trons in every locality to speak to their neighbor,
and friends in our behalf; we shtll gladly reoeive
from any friend lists of those who would receive
Hi 7fc,ii VPim-en.eo,,y of on6 of oor editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send us such names from post offices at which
we have no subscribers. Whatever additions
may thus be made to our circulation shall be
paralleled by increased efforts and expenditures
to make our issues more valuable and uselul abaa
they have hitherto been.
