EGYPTIA,N CORN Y.
rgiHE subscriber offers to the farmers- through the
_IL county the Egyptian Corn, which Upon trial was
Sound to ripen if planted even the last of July. It is
estimated, from its very prolific' qualities, to
yield 150 bushels per acre, and weighs, by measure,
65 pounds to the bushel. This corn was produced
from some procured direct Iron] Mr. Jones, our Con
solar Agent, directly on his return from Egypt. It
needs no different culture from that of other varieties,
and in the South two crops can be raised on the same
,ground in oneyear. Itgrows in the form of a tree, and
31 ears have grown upon one stalk—average from 5 to
16 ears. For domestic use it le unparalleled. When
ground and properly bolted, it is equal in color and
fineness to wheaten. flour. As a forage crop, by sow
ing in drills or broadcast (tor early feed,) there Is no
kind of 'corn so well adapted to mulch cows, and none
that will yield half the value in stalk or corn.
;trail be successfully grown in any State.

For -•etrept ? , _
a'cry was ?lewd at midnight and the rush of

While the frantic bells went clashing clamorous etre*:
•' on stroke,' • • -
By the

• mother it
With the babe e e pressed to her bosoin shrieking, in

While "the fire-king'ewild battalions scaled wall and

And planted thuir flaring banners against an inky sky.
From to death that raged behind them and the crash

To' the great sgilare of the city, Were driven the 'surg

Where yet firm in all the tumult, unscathed by the

With its heavenward-pointing finger the church of Si.

Ent e'en•ils•theylgazed -upon it, there rose a sudden

ery of horror blended with the roaring of the 61,e,
On whose scoteliing,ivings updriven, q single flaming
• brand ''
Aloft on the towt ring steep clung like a bloody Mind.
"Will it fade ?" The whir er trembled from a thou
• sand whitening lips:
Far out on the lorid harbor they watched it froth the
ships— I • • - •
A balehul gleam that brighter and ever brighter shone.
Like.a flickering, trembling Will'o'-Witsp to a steady
beacon grown.
~ Uncounted gold shall be given to Bit; man whose

For the love of the periled city, •plucks 'down you

Who is it leans from the belfry, with face upturned to
the sky?
}Clings to a colninn and measures the dizzy spiro with
; • his eye?
(Will he dare it; the hero und i auntecl, that terrilite,
I; sickening height?
Or will the Lot Illood of his courage freeze in his
reins at the sight? • - -•
•
But sea I he has stepped on the railing, he climbs
with his feet and his bands,
And Min on a narrow projection with the belfry be
neath him he stands!
Now once, and once only, they cheer him—a single,
tempestuous breath— '
And there falls on the multitude gazing a hush like
the stillness of death,
Slow, steadily mounting, unheeding aught save the
goal of the fire,
Still higher and higher, an atom, hetoves on the face
of the spire,
lie stops I Will ho fall? Lo I for answer, a gleam like
a meteor's track, ' -
And, hurled on the stones of the pavement, the red
brand lies shattered and blackl
Once more the shouts of the peope have rout the
quivering air,
At the church-doer Mayor and Council wait with their
feet on the'stair—
And the eager thongbehind them press for a touch
of his hand—
The unknown s#ior whose daring could compass a
deed so grand.

And what mean, that stifled murmur of wonder and
amaze?
Ile stood in the gate of the temple ho had periled his
life to save,
d the face of the hero, my children, was the amble
face of a slave 1
With folded arm he was speaking, in tones that'wero
clear, not 1 ucl,
And his eyes ab ein their sockets burnt into the
eyes of th crowd;
"You may keep your gold,—l scorn it I—hut answer
Die, ye who can,
If the deed I have done before you be not the deed of
a man ?"
He stepped but a short space backward, and from all
the women and men •
There were only obs for answ. r, and the Mayor called

prime of their years, and the conversation
was suddenly cut short, for the car stopped
at the street c •ossing,, and the friends hur

after this fashion:

And here 'Squire Dunham sat down in
his velvet. arm-chait, by 'his marble - table,
and- his thoughts Went back through the
long winding- path of theyeats of his yoga'.
Ills boyhood—his glad , careless boyhood—
came back to him. The . gentle, loving
mother, : and the young,, sweet face of, his
sister, arose up before him, and he SAW`the
little brown' cottage-whers , his life came to
him. The old apple tree in front was frost
ed with the blossoms of May; and he.stood
there with , Betty, his little sister, and her
laugh, sweet tis Ilie mountain brook, was in
his eats, and herlittle, round, plump arms
were abOut his neck, 'How she did love
him, that little sister Betty, over whose
sweet face had grown the grass of so many
sunitners; hoW proud she was of
And he could see the little golden
dancing out of the house every night to
meet him when he came home from his
work.
Stephen - Dunham's mother was `a poor
widow, and he had his own way to work in
the World. lie had risen step by step in his
native town, and he saw at last that greed
of money had, taken possession' of 'him; un
til every other wish and purpose of, his life
had been swallowed:np:ln the pursuit of
riches.
He was still a young man when he came
to the city, - but he brought with bim.the
title of "'Squire," which he bad borne for
three years. He took to himself a wife, the
daughter of a rich man, and she brought
him a - hundred ' thousand dollars for her
doviry; but in a few years death had sum
moned her away, and she had left no chil
dren, whose soft, sweet voices calling him
"father," should 'melt:the cold heart that
kneW but one love, and AIM w*--money.
Alt this 'SquireDunham thought of as he
sat alone by his table,, with the bright light
of the chandeliers gilding. the .gray head
that rested on his hands;, and he thought,
rich man that he was, that his money didn't
pay; that, after all, the great object of his
life had been., as the man said, a "losing
operation," and he longed to feel that in the
wide world there )vas one human being who
would be sorry to hear that he was dead—
one human being, man, woman, or child,
who would say °, " I ant happier this
,night
because you are on earth."
And in the midst of want and yearning, 'a
sudden determination flashed across the mind
of 'Squire Dunham. He arose and walked
again to and fro, with his hands behind
him, his . ..forehead knit with perplexing
thought, and a variety of emotions floating
over his face.. But suddenly he stopped,
and set down his foot resolutely. "I'll do
it—l will- do it this very night!" And he
went into the hull, took up his cane, and
passed out into the street, contrary to his
usual custom; and the night was dark and
cold.
"Did you see Mr. Minor, Henry?" It
was a faint, mournful voice which asked
this question; and the speaker was - a pale,
sad-faced woman, whose sunken eyes - -and
hollow cheeks at once told you she was an
invalid. The chamber where she sat was
very.poorly furnished, but everything was
Heat. A small fire was burning in the grate,
and a solitary candle on the stand.
" No, mother, Mr. Minor won't be at
home for a week," answered the boy slowly,
as though he disliked to communicate the
news. He was a slender, delicatelooking
b `WIRMITHIV n ine t , I "44I - 7a .-- momer, -
looking despairingly on the thin hands
which lay in her lap. "There is no way to
pay the rent, and the agent said if I wasn't
ready when he called to-morrow, we must
go into the street. What will become of
us, my poor children? I'd hung on to Mr.
Minor's getting back, he was so kind to
your father before he died; but.my last hope
is gone now. I could have earned the mon.
ey if it hadn't been for this sickness, bfo't
on by steady sewing; but to-morrow we
must go into the street."
`` Don't cry, mother, I earned a shilling
this afternoon selling papers, and bought
you and Mary each, a nice orange," inter
posed the boy, tryihg to speak in a bright,
hopeful , voice.
And now a small hand was thrust out for
the fruit, and 41 little voice said' earnestly,
"Oh, mother, don't let us feet bad now we
have got the oranges."
At that moment there was a loud rap at
the chamber door, which startled the little
family, but .Harry was not long ushering
into ,the room an old gentleman who in
quired if Mrs. Carpenter lived there.
His glance took, in the room and its three
occupants, and after taking the seat which
harry Carpenter brought him, he said:
" I am 'Squire Dunham, and I called here
to say, Mrs. Carpenter, that I would not
press the matter ltbout the rent; that if you
could not meet it, you might stay here, and
I would not trouble you."
A dash of joy went over the three faces,
but the mother broke down into a sob.-
-" Oh, sir, God in Heaven will bless . you for
this!" and they were the .sweetest words
which Stephen Dunham had heard for many
a day. .
. Btft before he could answer, his gaze was
attracted to a small, wistful, upturned face
in the corner,- and its sweet blue eyes and
the golden gleam in its broWn hair were
like those of that face which shone away
off in the morning of his boyhood, the face
of his sister lletty!
As his gaze met the little girl's she arose
and came toward him.
" You won't scud mamma and Harry and
me into the street, will you?" she said, in
her sweet, pleasing way; "cause we can't
live there when the wind blows, and the
rain comes. The great carriages would go
over us; and mamma's sick, and I'm a little
girl, you know,-and Harry isn't big . enough
to do anything but sell papers."
" My child," said 'Squire Dunham, .4-you
shall never go into the street!" and his voice
was not quite steady, and there was moist
ure about his eyes. He took the little' girl.
on his knees,- and she nestled her bright•
young head on his shoulder, chattering
away to hint, and ,thinking what a good,
kind man 'Squire Dunham was!
The landlord remained some time with
his tenants. Many kind words and prem
ises cheered theta, for that little head rested.
softly against his ;heart, and warmed- and
gladdened it; and before he - left 'Squire
Dunham bent down and kissed the little
girl, and left two ten-dollar gold pieces in
her chubby litintt- ' ,
He went home that - night' a Atappier Man
than he had been for years—eure..that,three
hearts beat lighter because he was in the
world.
And the lesson that Stephen Dunham
'learned that night going home in the cars
took - deep root id his ' teart, and brOught
forth much fruit.

When Nes*nan Hall waa in Pltiliidelphia
in 1870 he lectured the 'short time he spent
there constantly, „sometimes on Sundays
preaching four•or five times. Yuur corres

at an evening - service... He, was announced
at six at.a church frerup town; and for eight
o'clock akSt. Thomas's. Though we- none
of us knew the church by name, its location.
and the hour were. - so- convenient that we
decided upon hearing- hint there. Arriving
an hour before the time, in the hope of thus
securing seats, we found St. Thomas's to be
a colored people's church, and the cervices
already fully under way—Laving their own
services 'beforehand, '
we discovered -upon
getting in. •
We were receivetnit the 'dOor ,by ushers
in dress coats'- and.wh ties_ and gloves,'
and taken to seats in the galleries, the rest
of the church being already packed,' aisles
and all, with 'a.rnixture of white and black:

The extraordith ry paintings, as well as
the sculptures in the Wiertz Gallery are all
the work of one c hand—that of Antoine.
Wiertz, son of a tailor in the Ardennes.—
The tailor 'had been a soldier, and entertain-
ed- a dream of glory. Fle transmitted the
fire of his ambition to the son, where It be

boy's soul with a spirit, which would have
been appreciated grandly among the Qreek
Stoics, but which seemed QuiXotic, in this
practical nineteenth century: He Might
have lived in luxury by his art, hut he pre
ferred to live in abject .poverty for his art.
His thirst for fame was insatiable—his con
tempt for forttine incredible. The story of
his life is as - Curious and pathetic as the
works of his genius are fantastic and un
ique.
Wiertz was born in 1800, in the old town
of Dinant on the banks of the river Muse.
At an age when other children play this
child occupied himself with the toys of art.
He made drawings almost before he could
run alone, and tried to color them with ber-
UrMi c Satitdi t iiVreilvii i ii i ins
One of the triumphs, of his - babyhood was
a wooden frog whiqh he had cut with his
knife, and which was so marvelous ' an imi
tation of the living creature that visitors to
the tailor's shop tried to kick the counter
feit reptile into the street. A captain of
gensd'arrues, who tried-to pierce the wooden
frog with his sword, jwns so amazed by it
-that he talked aboitt it everywhere he went,
and the hews comingtto the ears of M. Paul
Maibe, an art connoisseur at Dinant, he vis
ited,the boy, and became his patron in a
small way; that is to say, he took him home
and had,him taught music and drawing—
for the boy had an aptituda for, music, too.
The result was that at the age of fourteen
Wiertz could teach his drawing master, not
only, but he l!ad acquired a surprising fac
ulty at engraving, in which latter art he was
entirely.self taught. He made wood cuts
of his own original drawings, and having
made the cuts, lie himself printed from
thorn; besides which he could play on some
half a dozen different musical instruments,
but of this art lip made 'little or no use in
after life.
=3
At so early an age as this the boy's soul
bechme fired with a passion for Milieus,
and his patron Dhally took him to Antwerp.
There' the hind-hearted _man did what he
could for his little friendL4ound him eXcel-:
lent masters, and got him -a pension of
about fifty-six dollars from the . Kidg—and
left him to make his way. On this paltry
sum the boy lived, practicing the most' rig
id economies. He had no pleasures, no oc
cupations, - outside his nrt- In one of his
letters to his mother, to whom he was ten
derly devoted all his life, he wrote, "Ex
cept for food, I hardly spend two farthings."
His lodging was his studio; and that-studio
was 'a miserable corner in. a' granary, with . -
out fire, and_without lights at evening, the
roof so low that as his stature increased he
leouhl not stand upright in it, but went
'about stooping. Here he wrought all day
long on the paintings which he already de
signed'to open the door of fame, and in the
darkness of night either. ent out and stud
ied-or remained in his den and solaced his
loneliness with wild, weird Music. In win, ,
ter, in the intensest -cold; 'he Worked still,
almost 'without ceasing, in a sort of ecstasy,
as wretched in his externals,as a beggar, as
happy in his sublime pasSion for art as any
king, or, better, as 'any lover. For 'Six years
he so dwelt and so lived, and in his scorn of
physical comforts:—not to speak Of luXuries,
or pleasures—was as stoical as Diogenes.—
If he could have painted 'in a tub, he would
have.lived in a tub.
Tempting oftbrs were made Lim to paint
for money, but he would not.' To one con
noisseur who offered him a large sum for
one of Lis studies, 'Mertz rhade a reply
worthy to live among the celebrated speech
es of genius. " Keep your gold," he said;
"it is the murderer of , art." This sentence
strikes the. key note -of this remarkable
man's anthem of life. He-would never sell
his works. Hencel the gallery in 'Brussels is
to-day crowded with the efforts of his fan
ciful and grotesolui genius; while out in the
world you should seek in' vain' for 'one of
his pictures. Portraits form the only ex
ception to -this statement, for portraits he
painted-now and then throughout his life as
" pot.boilers.." -To the day of his death he
adhered firmly to the programme which he
laid down when ho was twenty as the only
noble ono for -artists—for Wiertz - wrote al
so, much and well, about the art he loved
so passionately, "In an epoch when mech
anism is preferred to expression," he said,
'`'one must have courage enough to imitate
the great Poussin, and paint for posterity;
and, struggling( always against bad 'taste,
know'how to remain poor, in order to re

The Sensation , of Starving.
For the first two days through which a
strong and healthy man is doomed to exist
upon nething, his sufferings are, perhaps,
more acute than tin the remaining states.
He feels an inordinate, unspeakable craving
at the stomach night and day. The mind
runs upon beef, bread, and other substan
tints, but still, in a great measure, the hotly
retains its strength. On the third and fourth
days, burespeemlly on the fourth, this in
cessant craving gives place to a sinking and
weakness of , the stomach, accompanied by
a nausea. The unfortunate sufferer still de
sires food, but with loss of strengthlic loses
that eager craving which is fell, in 'the ear
lier stages. Should he chagee to obtain a
morsellor two of food, he swallows it with
a wolffill avidity, but live minutes afterward
his sufferings are more intense than ever.—
He feels as if lie _had swallowed a living
lobster, which is clawing and feeding upon
the very foundation of his existence: On
the fifth day his - cheeks suddenly appear
holly.v and sunken; ;his body , attenuated; his
,color is ashy pale, and bis eye wild, glassy,
cannibalish. The lifferent parts of the sys•

ach calls upon the legs to go with it in quest

SACI2EDNESS op Tema.—There is a sa
credness in tears. ' They are not the mark
of weakne‘s, but, of power. ' They speak
more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of 'oybrwhelming
grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeaka
blef love: .ob, speak not ha ' - hly of the
stricken one—weeping in sil eel Break
not the deep solemnity by rude ;laughter or
intrusive footsteps. Seoff not, iif-ute stern
heart of mimbood is sometitob, melted by
1
sympathy; It/is what helps to Vibrate him
above the brute. 'We love to .qee tears of
affection. They are painful to :ens, but'still
most holy; There is a pleasure in tears—an
aliful pleasure.
Whatever men in their short-sighted phi
losophy may say to the contrary, sorrow is
one of tiie chief purifiers of the human
heart. the other omotions - draW us'cles
er to the objects of_ this World. Love, joy,
envy, revenge, by turns - sway the heart of
Man, and bind him with golden cords of af
fection or with iron bands of malice to, the
objectS'by which he is surrenuded. Grief
alone weans him from this life, and with a
finger .raised toward another, higher And
better, shows .that, when • the delights of
earth are faded; the joys .of Heaven will
bloom with unfading beauty in the " fields
of light" above.
RESPECT TPZE BODY.—Give it what it re
(Mires, and no more. :Don't pierce its ears,
strain its eyes, or pinch its loin; don't roast
it by ahot Jiro all day ; and smother it under
heavy bed-covering all night; dOn't put it in
scold draft on slight occasions, and dOn't pet

. HATCHING EGGS AND REmuntio Yo' G.—
A Mr. Hunt has patented an iniprov • d I,in
euhator or apparatus. of simple and inex
pensive construction for hatching eg::, and
also for rearing the young when hatched.
The incubator is composed of two boxes
placed one within another, A clear " pace
being left at every part between them (say
about one inch), which is filled with t.mott
conductor of heat.iThe inner box, says
the English Mechanic; contains a meta ves
sel, winch is filled with heated liquid very ,
twelve yours, and above this is pia ed a .
tray to contain the .eggs for incubati n.--

The heat is graduated and air admitte by a
perforated Rd at tl l e top of the oute box.
The part of the in pntion relating. the
younj when hatched, which the in entor
calls "the mother '

described, save that the vessel for the heat
ed liquid is placed at the upper part of the,
box, so as to leave a sufficient space to ad-' i
mit the young to warmth. The liquid is
admitted to and drawn from the app: atus

This remedy is composed of extract of 11 no-

soap and syrup to form the coating. The
efficacy of ,these pills in overcoming the
opium habit, and in preventing the suffer

ARRESTING THE POTATO DISEASE.- DE':
periments made in England have shown
that,- where fertilizers rich in phosphatic
substances have been used, the potato crop
has been sound. It was early found in the
United States that the use of rich barn yard
urinure aggravated the disease. It is also
known that good sandy soils are better
adapted to this crop than the richer ,loams
and . clays of the prairie, even - when the lat
ter arc thoroughly subdued by tillage.. On
sod, and sod of the second . year of break
ing, the crop is usually sound. The appli
cation of super-phosphate of lime and other
phosphatic manures have always been found
useful in the cultivation of the potato crop.
