TO BAKU Alt A.
1!Y ADMIRAL.
Yon bade me cease to hope,
Or o’er the past to dwell,
My poor heart withering
By a sad fnteweil!
Farewell! 0, speak it not!
Dreadful is its tone ;
At once it wakes despair,
And thunders, alone!
Oh! is it irrevocable,
Tliis dark, death like knell 1
. And must / teach my heart
To breathe farewell 1
'Tis true —alas! too true !
Tlmu hast said, “ ’Tis well;"
But ray soul no echo hath
To tny lips' farewell.
We part—say not for ever!
Cast not til us the die ;
Retract thy harsh decree—
Only say “good-bye!"
Say “good-bye,” and hope
We again may meel;
Hope the rrast may be forgot,
The future be more sweet.
To Cuke a Felon.— One tablespoon
ful of houey, one tablespoonful of pow
dcrcil alum, one tublespoonful of Hour.
Moisten with good vinegar and poultice
twice a day.
—-
How to Cure Wasp Stings.— Pot
ash water is the quickest cure for wasp
stings. A small, quantity should be
kept in a glass stoppered bottle. Open
the sting with a no. die, and put on one
drop of the potash water.
To Bleacii White Silks on Flan
nel. — Wash the articles clean, rinse in
suds and smoke with brimstone while
j wet; the silk must be brushed or wash
ed with a sponge; if rubbed, it will
I never press smoothly; expose the goods
to the air, and the odor will soon pass off.
Cure for Stye.— Put a tcaspoonful
of soda in a small bag,’J pour on it just
enough boiling water to moisten it, tlieq
put it on the eye pretty warm, keep it
on all night, and iu the morning the
stye will most likely be gone ; if not, a
second application is sure to remove it.
To Clean Marble.— Take two ounces
of common soda, one of pumice stone,
and one of finely powdered chalk; sift
them through a fine sieve aud mix them
with water. Then rub the mixture well
all over the marble, and the stains will
be removed ; now wash the marble over
with soap aud water, and it will be as
clean as it was previous to its being
staned Sometimes the marble is stain
ed yellow with iron rust; this can be
removed with lemon juice.
Moss on Flower-Pots.— Ladies who
are fond of cultivating flowers in the
house, will find great benefit to the plauts
by spreading a coating of moss over the
earth in their flower-pots. This keeps
the water from evaporating, and temper
ature more uniform. Tea grounds arc
often used for the same purpose. Where
a flower-pot sets in a saucer, with a hole j
in the bottom of the pot, put a little sand !
in the saucer, and cover it with moss, aud
you have a simple and admirable ar
rangement.
Indicator ok the Weather. —The
color of tho sky at particular times
affords wonderful good guidance. Not
only does a rosy sunset presage good
weatlicr, but there are other tints which,
speak with equal clearness and accuracy.
A bright yellow sky in the evening indi
cates wind ; a pale yellow, wet; a ueutral
gray color eontsitutes a favorable sign in
the evening, and an unfavorable ouc iu
the morning. The clouds arc again full
of meaning in themselves, if their
forms are soft undefined, full and feathe
ry, the weather will be flue; if their
edges are Lard, sharp and definite, it
will be foul. Generally speaking, any
deep, unusual hues betoken wind and
rain; while the more quiet and delicate
tints bespeak fair weather.
Hkmedy for Bites and Stings.—
Bites or stings by any poisonous animal,
or insect, may be instantly relieved by
the immediate and free application of
spirits of hartshorn as a wash to the
part bitten.
To Clean Paint. —Mj,x together one
pound of soft soap, half a pound of
finely powdered puiuice stone, and a
half pound of pearl ash, with hot water,
into a thin paste, paint the mixture on
whatever requires cleaning, with a brush,
then in five or ten minutes wash it off
with clean water.
To Clean Feathers. —Dissolve four
ounces of white soap, cut small, in four
pounds of water, moderately hot, in a
basin, and make tho solution into a
lather by bcatiti with a small rod. Then
introduce the feathers, and rub them
well with tlia hands for five miuutes.
They aro next to be washed in cleau
water as hot as the hand can bear it.
11 KM id y for Chicken Mites.— A
correspondent of the Rural World pro
nounces the following effectual remedy:
“Take common leaf tobacco as much
as tho user may think necessary, and
make a strong tea, letting it boil some
time, so as to get all the strength from
the tobacco; then sprinkle the tea all over
and about the place where the mites
arc, and if the first application is not
sufficient, use in the same manner a
second time; but the first time is almost
always effectual.
Hem edv for Indigestion.— Half an
ounce of ground Turkey rhubarb; one
drachm of sulphate of quinine ; one
drachm of extract of sarsaparilla, l’ut I
the sarsaparilla into a cup with three or ,
four tcaspootifuls of cold water; let it
stand till dissolved; then add the other
ingredients. Make it into a stiff paste;
it will then be ready to make into pills
with ’die use of a little flour. The whole
costs but a small sum and makes nearly
ouc hundred pills The dose is two
pills every other night.
Cows and Milk. —The art of feeding
our cows, so as to produce the greatest
quantity an i the best quality of milk,*
is neither understood nor practiced,'
generally. An experienced writer, who
says that one good cow gives all the milk |
that is needed in a family of eight
persons and from which cow was made
two hundred and sixty pounds of butter |
last year, gives the following as his 1
treatment. lie says : “If you desire
to get a large yield of rich milk give
your cow every day water slightly warm ,
slightly salted in which bran lias been |
stirred at the rate of ouc quart to two j
gallons of water. You will find if you
have not tried this daily practice that;
your cow will give twenty-five per cent,
more milk immediately under the effects
of it, and she will become so attached to
the diet as to refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty; but this moss she
will drink almost any time and ask for
more. The amount of this drink ueces- j
saty is an ordinary water pailful each
time, morning, noon, and Dight. Four
hundred pounds of butter are often \
obtained from good stock, and instances
arc mentioned when the yield was even
at a higher figure.”
Never complain of your birth, your
employment, your hardships; never
tancy you could bo something if you
had a different lot and sphere assigned
you. God understands His own plan, I
and lie knows what you wan: a great
deal better than you do. The very
things that you most deprecate as fatal
limitations or obstructions', arc proba- j
bly, what you most want. Wliat you,
call hindrances, obstacles, discourage
ments, are probably God’s opportunities. ;

CAnFAIGN NOTES.
Thomas Dunn English, in a card de
clining to attend the Louisville Con
vention says: “I cannot join you. If
I thought ns you seem to think, I should
vote squarely for Grant and not try to
aid him in an indirect way.”
A Washington dispatch says : “Ser
geant at arms Ordwajr, of New Hamp
shire, says there are four hundred Re
publicans in that State who will vote
for Greeley, and not a hundred Demo- j
crats who will vote for Grant. That
settles New Hampshire.”
The New York Herald , of tlio 26th,
says editorially that it is reported on
good authority that Mr. Chas. O'Conor
has addressed a letter to the Louisville
Convention of Straight-outs, prohibit
ing the use of his name by them for tho
Presidential or any other office. Mr.
O'Conor states that tlio fee simple of
tiie world would not induce him to ac
cept the nomination,
Gerrit Smith goes for Grant, but lie
docs not seem to have much influence
even with his own family. His son,
Greene Smith, is President of a Greeley
and Brown club at Smithfiold, Madison
county. Gerrit 11. Smith, a nephew, is
President of a Greeley anu Brown club
at Geneva. John Cochrane, also a
nephew of the erratic Gerrit, is chair
man of the Liberal Republican State
Committee.— Exchange.
It is conceded, says the Bridgeport
Former , that Horace Greeley is the only
man in the country to-day who is strong
enough to defeat the military autocrat
of the White House. Upon his defeat
may depend the very existence of repub
lican institutions, and certainly the
permanence of Democratic principles
and landmarks. With a Democratic
nomination of Horace Greeley, came
the absolute necessity of his election, to
the Democratic party. Then, what prin
ciple docs any Democrat yield by as
sisting the election of Greeley and the
defeat of Grant ?
Starving Colored Ciiildrbn.—With
in the past ten days there have been
two deaths of colored children in Rich
mond from privation and neglect. In
one case an infant actually starved to
death for want of nourishment, the
mother being unable to nurse it nnd too
poor to bring proper food. In the other
case the mother was in the habit of
going out day’s work and leaving her
one year old son locked up in her room,
neither giving it proper care t or suffi
cient food.— Virginia paper.
The Bloom ok Age.—A good woman
never grows old. Years may pass over
her bead, but if benevolence aud virtue
dwell iu her heart, she is as cheerful
as when the spring of life first opened
to her view. When wo look upon a
good woman, wo never think of her age
she looks as charming as when the rose of
youth first bloom on her check. That
>-osc has not faded yet; it will never
fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benefactor. In the church
the devout worshiper and exemplary
Christian. Who docs not love and re
spect the woman who lias passed her
days in acts of kindness and mercy—
who has been the friend of man and
Con—whose whole ’ife has been a scene
of kindness aud love, a devotion to truth
and religion? We repeat, suclt a
woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, j
and active in humble deeds of mercy j
and benevolence. If the young lady :
desires to retain the bloom and beauty i
of youtlq let her not yield to the sway |
of fashion and folly; let. her love truth and
virtue; and to the close of life she will
retain those feelings which now make
life appear a garden of sweet —ever fresh
and ever new.
Plant your yards full of flowers.
They arc not only pleasing to sight and
smell, but act as ilislufcetants, aud arc
much pleasanter than carbolic acid.

BIRDS.
Of all animals perhaps none aro more
interesting to both young and old than
birds. Their presence iu the fields and
hedges, in the groves and forests, their
beautiful, and, iu many kinds, splendid
colors, (heir street songs, and their curi
ous and wonderful habits, charm and
delight every one.
Birds aro vertebrates which are coY
! cred with feathers, furnished with a bill,
and fitted for flight—their form as well
as their structure being adapted for cat y
and rapid movement through the air;
even their bones aro hollow, hence very
light iu proportion to their size. It is
an interesting fact that the form aud
the skeleton of a bird suggested the
right way in which to build a ship in
order to combine strength with wift
ness.
Although the body of birds is cover
ed with feathers, these do not grow from
the whole surface, but arc arranged in
rows and patches, with bare spaces be
tween. Feathers arc made up of a
hard central portion or shaft, and a vine,
the latter being the broad portion which
consists of delicate plates that are unit
ed by minute barbs along their edges,
and thus made firm, —the plates not
separating from one another when press
ed against the air, as in flying. There
are, however, downy feathers on every
bird or such as do not have the plates
united. The plumage of birds is made
waterproof by the oil with which they
dress their feathers, aud which is ob
tained from a gland situated on the tail.
They shed their feathers twice a year,
and in many kinds the winter plumage
differs in color from that of the summer.
In most birds the colors of the male arc
much more brilliant than those of the
female.
Birds swallow their food without
chewing it, and it is first received into
a sack called tho crop: then it passes
into another sack, where it is moisten
ed aud softciicd ; then it passes to tho
gizzard, where it is digested. The giz
zard generally contains gravel, and
other hard substances, which these ani
mals swallow to aid digestion.
Birds lay eggs and sit upon them to
hatch them, and most birds build nests
in which to rear their young, those of
the same kind ! uilding alike. The
young bird in the egg has a horny point
at the bill, with which it breaks the
shell. This point is plainly seen on
the bill of the newly-hatched chickens;
in a few days it falls off.
The number of kinds of birds is ten
or twelve thousand, and there are about
seven hundred kinds in North America.
Birds of prey, the climbers, the perehors,
the serathers, the runners, the waders,
and the swimmers arc the large groups
into which birds are divided.
The birds of prey are the vultures,
eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls. Most
of them capture birds and other ani
mals for food. They are mostly of
large size, and have a strong hooked
bill, sharp claws great spread of wing,
and very powerful muscles, and the fe
males are generally larger than the
males. They live in pairs, and choose
their mates for life.
We should not forget that life is a
flower, which is no sooner fully blown
than it begans to wither.
A French gardener finding a picec
of woolen cloth, which the wind had
lodged in a tree, covered with cater
pillars, acted upon the idea suggested,
and placed woolen rags in several trees.
Every morning he found them covered
with caterpillars, which were removed.
This whole life is but one great school.
From the cradle to the grnvo wc are
scholars. The voices of those wc love,
and the wisdom of past ages, and our
experience arc our teachers. Afflic
tions give us discipline. The spirits of
departed saints whisper to us, “come
up higher.” SN^i
