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. Grifiin, June 21, 1856, *■ * * For the Empire State. 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 ! Horse flesh in consequence ha3 falleu full fifty per cent 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.— New England Farmer. A Valuable Cat. The rat man with his vveasles need not cali on our friend G. A. Min chew, of the Elba Hotel. The reader will be suprised, when we siy that Mr. M informs us that he has a cat at his stables that 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.
