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 liimbia, ivbei e lie had been to riiVry tin produce of his winter’s labor, Which consisted mostly of furs.

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, or Vnfhifl- fbe night had fairly set in for Were ivas a moon two-thirds Tuff, shrtf ing down, upon the forest. •D.mi I,’ said Philip, in a low whie. per, at the same time casting a look overtim shoulder, ‘what‘do you think of these Vre men T •I’m afraid they are bud ones,’ return ed the younger one. ‘6i.mii 1 I believe they mean to steal father's money.

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.

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 Philip res-Ivcil to go down acid save tiie dogs. file Undertaking was a dan gero.is one, for the least noise wotild irouso the viiliuns, and the consequence might prove fat..l.

At leng h, the "Hounds ceased their noise, and all was quiet. Ah hour 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,— ‘We’l| kill the old man and w’oman first,’ said one of them, ‘and then we ll Hunt the money.

Effects of a B-d Dream. —The five leading j mruals of Paris contain long and substantial accounts of a distin guished engineer, whose head was turn ed perfectly white by a fearful dream.

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.
