Nor is thy place 'mid thy country's host, Where the war-steed champs the rein— Where waving plumes aro like soa-foam tost, And the turf wears a gory stein. Not these I not these I are thy glorious dower! But a Mier gift is thine ; When the proud have fallen in triumph's hour, And the red blood flowed like wine, To wipe the dew from the clammy brow— To raise the drooping head— TO cool the parched lips fevered glow, And to smooth down the lowly bed ! Not thine I not thine ! is the towering height, Where ambition makes his throne— The timid dove wings not her flight Where the eagle soars alone—• But in the hall, and in the. bower, And by the humblest hearth, Man feels the charm, and owns the power That binds him still to earth. Yes, these are thine ! and who can say His is a brighter doom, Who wins fame's gory wreath of bay, Round an aching brow to bloom ? 0 ! to watohleatli'S depiirt; To soothe every pang of woe, And to whisper hope to the fainting heart, Is the proudest meed below! .Nittrart, - ,gotii6,.: AA OUTTASS OF THE NEOESSABY LAWS . 07 THounur ; A Treatise on Pure and Applied Logic.

This is the most, profoundly scientific), work which hai been published in this country' on the department of Reasoning, slime the appear t ance of Mill's celebrated treatise. In many re spects it is vastly ~preferable either to the compend of Whately, or to the 'larger 'and more pretensions volume of Mill. It is as small as Whatley's book,, but much more analytic, thorough, and penetrating, going,down as - it does to the foundation principles on which all reason ing is paled ; while on the other hand it is an actual Text Book, and fitted for the - exercises of the class-room, .over which, in the course of a session, the students of a Collegiate, Class should be carried, instead of being an extensive essay, on Metaphysics, as in the work of Mill. It is customary with smatterers in Classics, and dabblers in Science, to speak disparagingly of Ox ford, and of the literary training of that vener able place. Were we'not able to appeal in refu tation of the implied charge of ignorance and in efficiency which isthus made, to the fact that has been developed by the government arrangements for the reception of candidates for office,, from all the Colleges and the Universities of theßmpire, in consequence of which the relative practical value of their respective system has been tested, and which has placed Oxford at the head, an ex amination of this book would satisfy tiny intelli gent mind, that the intellectual training of Queen's College, at least, must be of the most exalted or der. The students who ire drilled into 'a full and comprehensive understinding of logic as treated of In this Text Book, and of the works, both ancient and modern, to which 'reference is made, must be thorough masters of the science. In this respect they enjoy a decided advantage over the students of the Scottish Colleges. In Oxford and in Trinity College, ' Dublin, a Text Book is made the basis of instruction. This book must be mastered ; and from the Twit Book, the student is carried out by the Jecturer over all the field of the particular science'; and thus having, by the book, become accurate in his views, he is, by the addition of the lectures, ex aminatione, essays,. and additional works of ref erence, made extensively acquainted with the whole range of which be is now able to compre hend the relation of its separate parts. As a Text Book this work is invaluable. We earnestly wish that the Presidents of our Celleges and the Professors who have °barge of this de partment of education, would order this <volume and give it an examination, earnest, candid, and thoughtful. .Tay ACORPTRD TINS POR SROTTRING Tan GOOPIL 'SALVATION; and from the Analogy between Temporal and Spiritual affairs, answering cer tain Doctrinal Excuses sometimes urged for Neglecting it.

There is a depth of feeling and emotional power displayed in this book which will tell on the mind of the reader.

Astronomy is no longer confined to the schools of the learned, but tha, seism* has taken its place upon the platform s and no other subject , draws such audiences to the popular lecturer. We read of it in the newepapdrs, and we talk of it in our families. The work, whose name is given above, is moat admirably adapted to secure the results intemded. It embraces all the- recent observations of the heavenly bodies, con dnoti.the reader step by step from the base to thei summit of this sublime science, explainintim far, as praoticable, by figures and diagrams, all thei celestial phenomena, and the laws to which they are subject, without entering into the mathe matical details which properly belong only to works designed for those who make astronomy their chief study. This work is highly recom mended for popular use by such astronomers as Prof. Airy, of the •Royal Observatory, Green wich; Sir David Brewster; Lieut. Maury, of the National Observatory, Washington ; Prof. Olm stead, of Yale College; and Prof. Stephen Ales- , ander, of Princetim College. The purchaser of this book will not regret the outlay, whether for his own reading, or the instruction and en tertainment of his family. TER LITTLE COMMODORE. By May Rambler. Pp. "300:` Illustrated.

Pruning and Protecting. Ennton :—As the time is now at hand for pruning fruit and shade trees, al low me, through the columns of your paper, to give a few practical hints. With regard to the proper manner of so ,doing, all shade trees should be pruned or trimmed to a shape corresponding with their situation ; for' instance, along an avenue or street, and in front of a house, the shade is desirable down on the pavement, around the door, and at the chamber windows, and not on the roof or top-of - the. house. ,To secure, this, the tree should be headed down more or less every Spring, for five or six years af. ! .ter it hate first been.set out, litifin.no-case should the side branches be cut off unless they are so - thick as to rub 'agabist each other, After , a tree-- is twelve or fifteen years old, it should not be pruned or touched by the axe or saw, excepting to remove the deadwood.. ,I. have seen many fine, healthy trees ruined' by improper pruning. Some times persons will divest a tree, six to eight inches in diameter, of all its branches, and will then cut off a Elution of the top:leav ing nothing but an unsightly trunk. Trees thus trimmed will take more time to recover aid give shade, than,is necessary to produce shade from a thrifty young tree, ;and' frequently they never. recover ; So all the labor, is lost. Fruit trees should be trimmed so as' to admit the light of the sun to every branch; by this means the fruit will _be'' larger and, more perfect than when left to grow at random. No suckers should be al lowed to grow on a fruit tree; but as much depends upon the soil and exposure, it is impossible to give a rule that will apply to all situations. Experience and care, with the exercise of a good, judgment, must sup ply any deficiency in this report. Roses and flowering shrubbery may be trimmed according to taste, being careful to remove the old wood and that which may have been killed by the Winter. The Pm per time for trimming roses and shrubbery is in the latter end of Mara, after the frosts are over and the buds begin to swell, as you can then see what has been killed by the Winter. And here I would remark, that the best method of preserving tender roses, is—where it can be done and the wood is not too strong—to lay down the bushes and cover them over with earth to the depth of two or three inches, having first secured the bushes, to the ground with pegs. It is not so much the frost that kills rose bushes, as the effect of the sun upon them after they are frozen, and before the warmth of the atmosphere has drawn the frost out. Where they, cannot be laid down, a good plan is to surround them with cedar brush, carefully tied up. - This admits .the air and at the same time keeps off the, sun. Some persons tie up the bushes in straw. This is a bad plan, for very frequently upon opening them in the Spring we find the wood all mildewed, and before the season is over it dies out. Raspberry bushes may be protected in the same manner as roses.- 7 - Germantown Tele. graph. Cleaning the Bark of Frnit Trees, The fungi on the bark of trees, scaly in sects on pear trees, cocoon and ova of in sects, etc., may be-all removed by a few ap plioations of, the wash we have so often re. commended: We are induced to write again on this subject in answer to the nu merous inquiries made, as to the best method for cleaning the bodies of dwarf pear trees, etc. The ordinary ealeoda of the shops, when heated to redness in an iron vessel, parts with water and carbonic acid,. bccom sing caustic soda, sometimes called " Bleach er's No. 1 Soda." One pound of this Soda disiolved in one gallon of water, is,the best tree wash in the world: Unlike potash, it does s not kill or injure live plants,.but rapid ly decomposea dead bark, fungi, ova of in sects, cocoons ; scaly insects, &o. It may be applied with a sponge and then. suffered :to dry on i the bark: the first rain or heavy dew will remove it, running down thp 'bark to the soil lt richere it is worth all it, costs, as manure. In bad eases, such as scaly insect, bide bound trees,,old s trees with,muoh, dead or unsightly bark, it may require to be ap plied several times, and to be assisted by rubbing the tree while wet with a stiff brush and sand,'or an old carpet or other' woolen i a l:2 ''A '..,..' . 1 ,',., ~..,Sf. : ', I . 1,'7, - ..• '' --., . 1 '; - • .i A. r.A.. 7 ' l , 7 , :..:....i4 ,:, , AL' , " .-..', ADVOCATE. cloth, sanded. The smooth 'bark trees, plums, etc., become really polished by its use, and insects find it difficult to attaoh themselves. Old apple bark decays and is thrown off as the tree expands, leaving a new and clean surface, and sometimes pro ducing a fruit after having been useless for years. We believe that a clean surface to a tree is just as important as a clean skin to an animal. The ,natural functions of the tree cannot be developed with an unhealthy bark.—Forking Farmer. How to Plant Roam Low, wet ground is unfavorable for the growth of roses, and if planted in such soils, without the aid of artificial draining, they soon become mossy and die away. Where your soil is of this character you must proceed thus :—First of all have - the whole of the ground well drained, then trench it over to the depth of eighteen inches or two feet, throwing the mould up in ridges to allow of the frost and winds to act upon it ; when thoroughly dry, level it down, and where the plants are to be placed, take out the soil two feet deep;.put about six inches of brickbats in the bottom, then mix some well-rotted manure with the soil, and fill in as before. With a deep stiff loam and dry soil, Which is the natural soil of the rose, little more than trenching and manuring will be required, except for the tea•seented and China tribe for which the addition of sand and leaimould will be found necessary. Insects on Plants. One of the' greatest annoyances a gar dener has to contend with, is the ravages of insects upon young plants. • I have a rem edy which I have applied for several yea* and have never known it to fail. Take three parts air-slaked , lime, or unleaded ashes "and one part Peruvian guano, or any other substance containing a large percentage of ammonia;, mix, them well together; and dust the plants while the'dew is upon them,. and apply, it, alter every rain; but care must be taken that too much is not used at one time, or it will have a deleterious effect upon the plants; a light "dusting is all that is ne :cessary.' I neticed the effect more particu-. larly _last Spring, upon a patch of cantaloupe vines, which..the yellow bugs were eating up. I dosted.about one•half of, the patch; the next morning there was not a bug to be seen on that portion of it, while , they were, literally devouring the 'other; Witt autitin g cleaned them all out, in ten minutes so-effec tually that I" was not pothered again the balance of the season. I have found it to hold . equally good for cabbage , and - other plants. Ido not know the effect, unless it is in the ammonia being set free, which,-per haps, is a little too strong for their olfactory nerves.—D. Al R., in Horticulturist. Tomatoes—Supporting and Shortening in. Fe* gardens are now found unsupplied with tomatoes, but very few persons take pains to cultivate them. - The vines are usually left to straggle ad libitum. This is both bad economy and bad taste. If to are planted in rows, a convenient plan is to put up stakes on both sides of each row, and nail on horizontal strips or slats, to keep the vines perpendicular. They may be carried up to the' height of three to five feet. 13y this means the vines will show Enna better, especially , when cov ered with ripened fruit clustering thickly upon the aides. The fruit itself will be much superior to that matured on the ground and in the shade. Strong twine or wires may be substituted for the horizontal A cheap 'process of supporting tomatoes is to bush them, in the.same manner that beans. or peas are treated Our own tomatoes are planted around the border of' the garden, 'and trained upon the fence, the vines being upheld by strips of leather, doubled around the stalks and fastened to'the fence with small nails. ' = • Tomatoes are also benefited by shortening in. Three•fourths .of the mature fruit is produced upon a small part of the vine nearest to the `root,• say one.third or one fourth,of its length. It is recommended to atop the further development of vines after a fair supply of fruit is set, by clipping off the vines growing beyond. The clipping should not be carried too far, as a supply of ,foliage is required to gather fOod from the 'air. One of the most sueeessful cultivators in our acquaintance, made it a rule to let no vine extend beyond four feet from its root. —American Agriculturist. • , •To RESTORE SWEETNESS TO mita.

CHURCHILL'S SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION. SYRUP OF THE HYPOF'HOSTELITEs. Compose& of the Hypophosphites of Lime, Soda, Potassa, and Iron. trbette remedisa were brought to notice by Dr. John Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and have attracted much attention from the-medical profession. To give a genera idea of their settee, we make the follow. ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Proximate Cause and Specific Remedy of 'Tuberculesie," read Hors the Academy of Medicine, eerie, July, 1857. Says Dr. " The total number of cases of Phthisis' treated by I n s amounts to thirty-fives All were either in the second or third' stages of the complaint; that is, they bad either softened tubercles or cavities in the lungs: of teese, nine recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease dis appearing altogether in eight out of that number; eleven improved conslierably, and fourteen died. The results will be found to justify the following conclusions: "The proximate cause, or at all events an essential con dition of the tubercular diathesis, is the decrease in the system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni zable state. ‘• The [specific remedy of the disease consists In the use of a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two conditions, being in each a state that it may be directly assimilated, and at the same time at the lowest possible degree of oxy dation, "The effects of there Salts upon the tubercular diathesis is immediate; all the general symptoms of the disease di} - appearing wito a rapidity which is really marvelous. If the pathological deposit produce' by the dyseracy in of re cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and Joe not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are reabsorbed and dieappear. When the softening has attained a certain des me, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and de ,e, issue of the disease then depends upon an anatomical °audition of the local lesion, on its exi ant, and upon the existence or non-existence of complications. 1 have made numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the lunge by the inhalation of different substances, but have never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what Wes to be attributed to the specise. treatment. The Elypo phoilphites are certain prophylactics against tubercular diseeee. "The physiological effects show these preparations to -have a two-fold action; on the one hand they increase the principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes net. .vons forte, and on the otber, they elevate the tone of the several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition. They seem to poetess, in the highest degree, all the thera peutical properties formerly attributed by different ob. -servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger .which attends the use .cf that substance. The different preparations of Elypophospborns Acid will undoubtedly occupy one of the meet important places in the Materiel Medica." The success of this treatment being so much in advance' of anything before attained in the management of this heretofore almost incurable disease, calls for a thorough testing of these remedies. With this view, the cousbinatioa here offered in the form of Syrup has been made. The beneficial effects of these Salts are not limited to Consumption alone- they are appropriate remedies in a large cites of affections resulting from Ices of nervous force, Dyspepsia, Scrofula. debilitated conditions of Females, lack of vital action in Children and where the osseous system is defective. Underetanding the chemical nature of these Salts, physicians will be enabled to use them in a large class of diseases where they seem to be indicated. We have every advantage in manufacturing these arti cles. The Dry Salts we have been engaged in mannfae tering largely since they were first brought to notice, and we know them to be strictly reliable. The Syrup is a cum. bination'of the Salts, containing a little over five grains to the teaspoontul, and is the most pleasant form for taking them. The large demand for this article has induced us to fix It as low as is reasonable profit will permit. We pack it with care, so that it will go safely, and all orders will receive prompt attention.
