For the Empire State.
I?cdicntctl to my only Son, B. R. I). 8., on his
Third Birth Day.
Thou do3t not dream, by little one,
How great the change mast be,
These three years since the morning sun.
First shed its light on thee ;
Thy tiny hands did helpless fall,
As with a stranger's fear,
And a faint cry was all
That met thy mother's car.
Bat now the dictates of thy will,
Thy active feet obey—
And pleased, thy busy lingers still
Among thy play-tliingS stray ;
And thy full eyes delighted rove,
The pictured page along.
And lipping to the bc'rt of love,
Thy thousand wishes throng.
Fair boy, the wanderings of thy way,
It is not mine to trace,
Through buoyant youth’s exulting day,
Or manhood’s bolder race ;
What discipline thy heart may need.
What clouds may veil thy sun.
The eye of God aloue can read,
And let His will be done.
Yet, might a mother’s prayer of love,
Thy destiny control,
Those boasted gifts that o ten prove,
The ruin of the soul ;
Beauty and fortune, wit and fame,
For thee it would not crave,
But tearful urge a fervent claim,
To joys beyond the grave.
Oh, be thy wealth an upright heart,
Thy strength the sufferer's stay,
Thy early choice, that better part,
Which cannot fade away ;
Thy zeal for Heaven, a quenchless fire.
Thy friends, the men of peace,
Thy heritage, an Angel’s lyre,-
When earthly changes cease.

THE BSE O F SNUFF.
Some love to ride on waters wide,
When the whirlwinds sport in glee,
But the bright blue eye, the rosy lip,
And th e graceful form for me,
f could watch such beauties from day to day,
Nor miss tbe hours as they passed away,
And would give all the gems ever seen,
For a kiss from the lips of a “sweet sixteen.'’
But I took a dose the other day,
That like to have taken my senses away—
With my arms I entwined a slender form,
And pressed her to my bosom warm,
Expecting to gain a score of kisses,
But love you know very often misses.
T scarce essayed to do the deed,
Ere I eanghtthe taste of the “Virginia weed,”
Her lips were changed from a roseate hue,
To a kind of dirty, dingy blue—
Completely daubed with a kind of stuff,
That goes, I believe, by the name of snuff.
Oh, what rapturous thoughts came o’er my mind,
As I tasted love with tobacco combined ;
Fear ladies, for the love of man,
Discard the snuff-box if you can,
If you care aught for our repose,
.Mingle not such fumes with the breath of a rose
And many a love-sick swain will bless,
Nor will your happiness be less,
For giving up tbe nasty weed,
On which the masculine bipeds feed. *
rise Effects of Eating Horse Meat.
There is a professor in Berlin who lias been
n hippophagist for the hist ten years. About
two months ago, he woke up his wife in the
middle of the night by neighing loudly The
wife expressed her surprise; and the surprise
made the professor laugh it was a decided
horse laugh, that elicited a response from a 1
the horses on a neighboring cab stand. In the
afternoon, his wife had great difficulty in get
ting him past a seed shop where a quantity of
oats were for sale. Soon afterwards, his hair
(which is of rich auborn) began to grow to a tre
mendous length, and to assume more and more
the slia/ cos mane Ilis face too, began to be
covered with hair, and lie gave great amuse
ment to the little boys of Ber.'in by appearing
one day in the streets with a pair of biinkers
arious other changes gradually came over
him. lie would start at the’cr ick of a whip—
the scream of a railway whistle would set him
galloping off at full speed while the sound of
a trumpet would make him prick np his ears
and distend his Is in a most unique man
ner. It was noticed, also, that his cars of late
had grown considerably longer, pointing up
wards to some height above his head. One
night he was missed, and after considerable
search, he was found stretched nt full length
upon the straw in the stable. When his poor
wife approached him, he began rearing and
plunging in such a violent manner that it was
only by putting o:i the kicking s raps that he
could be kept in the least still. Other curious
symptoms soon declared themselves. He could
not be induced to keep on his boots; aud as it
was found very uncomfortable to allow him to
run about in the drawing room barefooted, he
was removed, and permitted to indulge in his
eccentricities only out of the house. He would
spend whole afternoons in the different stable
yards ; his favorite associates were ostlers and
omnibus conductors : his favorite haunts the
offices of the cilwagens and the most fashiona
ble beer-houses. Nothing pleased him so much
as to be permitted to sleep in a stall. After a
while his feet began to harden, and it was ob
served that a hard substance, not unlike a
horse’s hoof, was forming over them. The
same peculiarity became soon observable on
his hands From th s time forth he refused to
w Ik upright ; aud one morning he was found
outside a farrier’s shop, stretching out one of!
his feet, as if he were anxious to be shod
Since that time he has been put under the care
of a veterinary surgeon, who gives but faint
hopes of his recovery. “His'face,” he ob
serves in a memoir written on the subject, “is
growing larger and larger every month. The
nose has fallen in a straight lino with the fore-
head—the nostrils have expanded to an inor
diifftte size, ami the mouth has stretched itself
to more than three times its former width,—
‘! here is but little doubt that in time all traces
of the ‘human face divine’ will be completely
obliterated, and that the melancholy patient
will be walking about with a veritable horse’s
head upon his shoulders ! At present his only
delight is having a bit put into bis mouth.”—
Whether the transformation will proceed fur
ther, it is impossible to say. One fact, how
ever is pretty certain —for all the learned phi
iosophcrs in Berliu are unanimous upou the
point—that this singular absorption of the
man in the animal is owing to the practice,
persevered in for so many years, of eating
nothing but horse flesh. The professor has
been a h’/ppophage to that extent that at last
he has alt but become a horse himself ! The
phenomenon has created great sensation in ah
the equestrian circles of the Prussian capital !

An Adventure in California!
The truth of the following thrilling tale of
an adventure is vouched for to us by a person
who heard it from the lips of one of the par
ty. — Sav News.
A party of three men started from f'aora
mento on a prospecting tour, and, being well
supplied with provisions, they penetrated much
further into the mountains than any other par
ty, without meeting any success. Being men
of great perseverance, however, they determin
ed to persue their course still further, although
they had nearly reached a point where it was
believed the foot of white man never trod be
fore. The party began to feel somewhat dis
couraged, as luck appeared to have abandon
ed them ‘1 hey were many miles from any
habitation, and their provisions were getting
very low. A imdancholly feeling pervaded the
whole three, but they kept on until they came
to a deep, gulch. After making a thorough
examination, they returned to Sucremenio for
ropes and provision. Having procured these,
and loaded tl.eir mules with as much as was
thought necessary for their purpose, they pro
needed again to the gulch. To get down this
ravine was the next object. They tied a rope
to a tree, and by this means one after the oth
er descends to the bottom, after lowering down
[ the provisions and tools. Here tt ey found
gold in abundance, and labored assiduously to
procure their pile as soon ns possible, not be
ing particularly in love with their habitation
By a mere accident, after having been in the
I ravine For several weeks, they discovered that
; the rope had been cut by the Indians, or let
! loose by some other means, which cut off all
hopes of escape. • The ledircs of rock were
perpendicular for hundreds of feet,and climbing
np was out of the question. Their provisions
rapidly diminished, and stnrvation stared ihcrn
in the face. The gold which they had scent
ed was of no use. I hey had made up their
minds that the rend was near. Providential
ly, a party of friendly Indians came by, and
! hearing the men hallooing, they discovered
their whereabouts, and immediately went to
work to. relieve them,, Hopes were obtained,
and let down, when they were drawn up one
by one. and their gold also Being released
i from their prison, they liberally rewarded the
S Indians, they went on their way to a more sui
| table location, thankful for their preservation
j from the awlu! fate with which they had been
j threatened.— N. Y C A.
Guauo for Grass Land.
We have recently conversed with two gen
| tlemea— both practical men and of critical
j observation-—who informed us that they have
; now fields in grass, aud yielding good crops,
| laid clown some five, six and seven years ago,
manuring them solely with guano, and re
ceiving little or ro manure since. If such
were to be tiie general result, we might bring
up our farms to a wonderful degree of fertility",
because a third or one half of the tillage land
laid to grass with guano, and producing a full
crop for several years in succession, would
enable us to appropriate all the manure of the
farm to the hoed crops. This would allow of
very hifih manuring, and put the land ii such
a. condition as to produce heavy grass crops
without the further appl cation of guauo. But
we need further experiments, and to test the
guano upon its own merits, by putting the land
into grass, without a particle of any manure.—

A Valuable Cat. The rat man with his
vveasles need not cali on our friend G. A. Min

will be suprised, when we siy that Mr. M

has k lied within four and iys of Cue pest week
seventy two rats and mice ! This statement is
not exaggerated—as several of our townsmen
are ready to attest. — States Rights Democrat.
Wild Cotton of Nicaragua. —We were
showui a specimen of cotton yesterday, by Vlr.
Durr, veil, who is just from Nicaragua, which
he found in-the forest, while hunting on the
banks of the Bui Juan river, in Nicaragua.—
The stalk on which t grew was about six feet
high, growing straight, and branch ng but
little. I lie staple is long and fine, and the
seed have the peculiraity of being quite naked,
or yieldiing the down from them without re
tabling the white fibrous coating which is seen
on the ordinary cotton cultivated in the
Southern States. This would seem to give it
an advantage over other cotton in ginning, and
to save much cotton which is now lost by
adhering to the seed A small sample of this
cotton, and the seed attached can be seen by
the curious at the Delta office.— N. O. Delta,
