CUTHBERT MK APPEAL.
The Boy Heroes.
When Kentucky was an.iiifant State,
and before the foot of civilization had
trodden her giant forests, there lived
upon a branch of tfte Green River an
old hunter by the name of Slater. His
hut was upon the southern bank 'T the
stream, und, save a small patch <>f some
dofcen acres that had been cleared by
his own axe, he was shut up by dense
forests. Slater had t*o children at
home with him—two ikons, Philip and
Daniel—the former fourteen, and the
latter twelve years of age His elder
child red had gone South. His wife was
with him, but she had been for several
-jßara.no almost helpless cripple from
the effects of severe rheumatism.
It was early in the spring, and the
old hunter had just returned from (A

consisted mostly of furs. He had re

not rest. He knew Ins father had a
large sum of money in the house, and
his first thought was that these men
were there for the purpose of robbery.
After supper was over, the boys
quickly tle&red off the table, and then
went out of and oors. It had becotns dark,

‘But we can watch VftV.’
‘Yes, we will watch ’em. but don’t let

The boys then held some further com

that the hound? Wight spring forth if
they wtjfe wanted* It they had destred
to speak to their father about their sus

At length* however, the old m>n sig

t" go out of doors, to seaj the of

The old iadv was asleep in liet chair.
•Now,’ whispered I’hilio, 'let us take

Daniel sprang to obey, and quickly
as possible the boys slipped the two

and emptied Ihe priming It ill theiu-an
gersrifl-s; \Vhfcn their father ami the
strangers returned they had result) ii
their seats.
The hunter's cabin was divided into
two apartments o« the ground fin if, ode
of them in thb Uhd of the building, be
ing the old man’s sleeping room, and
the othek, in which the present compa
ny sat. Overhead there w’ Jg a S (| . t (>J
scuff -Idi.itr, I'cacliing 'Only halt Way over
the r«>oin boiow it, and in the «>pposite
end <*f the building from the little sleep
ing apartment of the hunter. A rotigh
ladder led up to the sesffoid, closb up
to the boys’ bed. There was Hi)
tion at the edge of the scaffolding, but
it was all opeh to the ritotfi below.
Spare tieddirig was spread iijs*n the
floor «>f the kitchen for the travellers,
tifid tsverHnirig arranged for their t'otjis
fort, thoD the boys went up to their bed
and the old man retired to his tittle
rootn.
Tne boys thought not of sleep, or if
th* y did, it was only to avoid it. Half
att hour passed away-, and then they
could hear their father snore. Then
they heard a movement from those be
low. Philip crawled out silently to
where he could peep down through, and
saw one of the rr.efi open his pack, from
which he took several pieces of meat
by the rays of the moon, and moving t<>
ward the wind***, he shoved the shsh
hack, and threw the piuces of flesh to
the dogs. Then he went back to his
bed and laid down.
At first the boys thought this Vrtight
be thrown to the dogs lb distract their
attention; hut when the men laid down,
the idea of poison flashed through Phil
ip’s mind. He whispered his thoughts
to his brother Tne first impulse of lit
tie Daniel, as he heard that bis poor
dogs were to bo poisoned, was to cry
out, but a sudden pressure from the
baud of his brother kept hi n silent.
At the end of the boys’ bed was a
dark window, u small, square door, and
it was directly over the dogs' luTfcpc

.nought was a tow ei of strength in itself.
Pni'lip openyd the window without

was hooked. I’lie siiVst wj* then low

this up against tiie bui flit.g, Philip

The strungeis had not been aroused,

At leng h, the "Hounds ceased their

passed away, and so did another. It
must have been nearly mi iuiglit when
tin y moved again, and the lad, Philip,
saw the rays of he candle fl ish up
through the cracks of the floor on which
stood his bed. He would have moved
to the crack where he could peep down,
but at that moment he heard a man up
on the ladder. He uttered a quick
whisper to his brother, and they lay per
fectly still. TbS fellow seemed to be
■peiTectly satisfied that they wore’-asleep,
for lie soon returned tA the grouud floor,"
and then Philip crept to the ciack. He
saw the men take knives, and he heard
them whispering,—

Bringing the Chihcha Islands
Home.
One of the editors of this paper, for
tbe year 1868, gave the subject of
home made guano a careful study, and
he gives the mode adopted in making
the experiment ad its results: The
hen house was a simple affair—only a
shed 18 by 40, opening on the south in
to a yard about 25 feet long and 10
wide, with palings 8 feet high. An en
trance under the gate, not. too large to
admit dogs or other interlopers, was
made, and this rftde affiir was all the
outlay, except 100 head of jioiiltiy that
we carefully collected every evening in
the yard. As soon as the fowls w*ere
up and abroad, the fl >or under the
roosts was careTuny stoept and the gu
ano thrown into a barrel kept standing
near by for that purpose. As soon as
swept the floor was sprinkled with the
fine charcoal & -shied from a railroad
station or with some bther good ah.
sorbetant. Mixing the droppiurs of
the poultry with about one*huil of for
eign matter, such as charcoal or other
good woods mould, a barrel of about
250 pounds weight was save! every
week offiiis home made guano, which
was applied to our wheat crop.
Broad sidti with this rhairsre was a
plat of ground manured with Peruvian
guano, plaster, and salt, at the rate of
200 pounds per ai?re. We never saw
any material difference in the looks ot
yieid * f the two patches, unless the
heu-hoose manure, during the early
spring, gaVe « deeper tint to the young
gram.
We omitted to state that the h6*fase
slops wire carefully added to the
sweepings of tne hennerry till each
Oui rcll was filled and moved aside.
Asa matter of farm economy, w~e
give it as our opinion that 100 hens
could be kept in thin way profitably for
the maiifttq alone. We ted out - hens
ou screenings from the flour mill, which
cost us 25 cents per bushel ; one pock
of these screenings feeding the stock
fifr one day. We found our close cbv-"
ered shed a nuisance of course, as we
have always done and fear always will.
We believe a cedar or pine tree to be
the best hen-house in tne South, but it
will not do t*i let the poultry scatter ev
erywhere about tiie premises rs oar ob
ject is to save nt iiifare.
We palliated the nuisance of the
mite und house, which bred under tiie
close shed, by Seeding su phur in dough
about three limes a week, and so ur-
Vaiigug the shingles on the toof as to
turn iffuch rain inside the house.
