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. ; - —• ♦ A white man in Middle Georgia re-1 cently administered a correction to his ! wife, hei sister, his sister and his mother- j in law, all in the course of a morning, i The Griffin Newt advertises him as an ; infallible Female Regulator. II is,\2 a yoai*. in advance. 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. RULES L4)11 LEGAL ADVERTISING .

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
