THE END OF ALL.
When mirth is full and free *
Some «udd en gloom shall be;
When haughty power mounts high
The Watcher’s axe is nigh. »
All growth has bound; when Greatest
found
It hastes ito die.
When the rich town, that long
Has lain its huts among,
Uproars its pageants vast, *
Had vaunts— it shall not last! :
Bright tints that shine, are but a sign
Os summer past.

And yearning heart, thy friend—
Love to its grave doth tend.
All gifts below, save Truth, but grow
Toward ail end.
A FROSTY DAY.
Grass afield wears silver thatch,
Palings all are edged with rime,
Frosty flowers pattern round the latch,
Cloud nor breeze dissolve the clime ;
When the waves are solid floor,
And the clorn's are iron bound,
And the boughs are crystalled hoar,
And the red leaf nailed aground.
When the fieldfare’s flight is slow,
And a rosy vapor rim,
Now the sun is small and low,
Belts along the region dim.
When the icc-crack flies and flaws,
Shore to shore, with thunder shock,
Deeper than the evening daw,
Clearer than the village clock.
When the rusty blackbird strips,
Bunch by bunch, the coral thorn,
And the pale day-crescent dips
New to Heaven a slender horn.
A Bank for Losings.
I’OUXG MEN —YOUNG LADIES —READ
THIS.
On tThe chief thoroughfare of this city
I often pass a stately Savings Bank ,
built of freestone, and I see groups of
working people going in to deposit their
hard-earned money. Some are mechan
ics, some are poor widows laying by a
few dollars for their fatherless children.
-"Tftrr on tTie^uiieYtreet, she Tempter
has opened more than one Bank fur
Losntgs. In some parts of the city there
is one on nearly every corner. In al
most every rural hamlet, too, there is a
similar institution. New York City
contains six thousand of them.
In each of these banks for losings is a
counter, on which old men and young,
and some wretched women, lay down
their deposits in either paper or coin.—
i'he only interest that is paid on depos
its is in redness of eyes and foulness of
breath, and remorse of conscience.—
Every one who makes a deposit gains a
ioss. One man goes in with a full pock
et and comes out empty. Another goes
in with a good character, and comes out
with the word drunk written on his
bloated countenance. I have even seen
a mechanic enter in a bran new coat,
and coming away again looking as if the
mice had been nibbling at his elbows.
I have known a young clerk to leave
his situation behind him in one of the
Devil’s Banks of Losings. Several pros
perous tradesmen have lost all their bus
iness in there. Church members have
been known to reel out of these seduc
tive haunts —trying to walk straight,
but, hacksUding at every step. What
is worst of all, thousands of people go in
there and lose there immortal souls ! If
the cashiers of these institutions were
honest, they would post on the door
some such notice as this: ‘ Bank for
Losings. Open at all hours. Nothing
taken in but good money. Nothing is
paid out but disgrace and disease, and
degradation and death. An extra divi
dend of dnlirium tremens will be given
to those who pay well at the counter ;
also tickets to Greewood ank other cem
eteries entitling the holder to a Drunk
ard’s Grave! All the children of de
positors sent without charge to the Or
phan Asylum or the Alms-House.”
Young men, beware of the hank of
losings! Some bait their depositors
with ehampaigne; some with ale or bour
bon ; some with a pack of cards, and
others with a billiard-table. If you wish
to keep character —keep out!
Young ladies, never touch the hand
that touches the wine glass ! Never
wear the name of a man who is enrolled
on the deposit list of the Devil’s bank.
Never lean on the arm that leans on the
bar-room counter. It will be a rotton
support.
The best savings hank for a young
man’s money is v total absteence pledge.
The best savings bank for his affections,
is a true wonun’s heart. The best sav
ings bank for his soul is a faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ.
If you don't want your greenbacks
turned into black eyes and red noses ; if
you don’t want your pockets emptied,
and your character worm-eaten, and
your soul drugged with the poisons of
the pit—then keep outside of the “Na
tional Bank for Losings.”

poses giving newspaper men that talk

or he would have nothing to do with old

Wisdom of an Old Traveler.
Always check your baggage before
starting; but if you lose your checks af
terwards, you lilight as well have saved
yourself the trouble.
If you have some solid hand-baggage
with you, be careful and place it in the
rack securely. A passenger once neg
lected to do this and fell with grea force
on the head of his mother in-law with
whom he had some trouble.
Always buy your ticket from an au
thorized agent before getting on the
cars ; but if you have to pay the con
ductor for your passage, do uot stop to
tell him all the reasons why you are
traveling. He would not care about
that ulthoHgh ho might be a sympathiz
ing n.
To all men I would say : never look
out of the window when the ear is in
jnotion with yonr hat on—it might be
blown ; and never loik out of a window
with your hat not on when it is dark,
because your head might run against
the parapet of a bridge, or a water-crane,
etc.
Do not alwa}’sbe wanting to compare
your time with the conductor’s, and ask
ing him how much you are slow; nei
ther ask him frequently if he is on time,
or if he is not when he expects to be.—
A conductor is not an atmel.
O
Always be considerate to your fellow
passengers, and if you are traveling with
the tailor whom you owe for your last
new suit of clothes, do not let him sit
in the draft of the window.
Some people say that in the event of
an accident, it is best to sit in the rear
car—and others would prefer the center
car —and others would like to sit well
forward. Such is the difference of
opinion. But if you were to ask me
which I would choose, I should say, let
me sit in my arm chair at home.
Do not go from one car to another
while the train is in motion, unless your
lists is insured, but even if it is, it is not
right to risk nipping yourself in the
bud.
The rule of most lines is not to allow
passengers to stand on . the platform.—
Some evade it by sitting down ; hut of
the two, as a man and a father, I would
rather be inside the car.
It costs a railroad company as much
to sweep out the leavings of some men.
as they pay for their tickets If you
must cat peanuts and apples put the
shells and parings in your hat, or else
throw them out of the window, but
mind you do not hit the station master.
Never speak in a loud voice on board
a train. It would be "awkward if the
train suddenly stopped, for you to be
heard saying : “Nosir; by the Eternal,
I'll shoot him first and get a divorce af
terwards !”
If you are suffering from an attack of
ague, and have the shakes badly, aud
are very chilly, put as much wood in
the stove as you like, and do not bother
yourself about the man next to you, who
has perhaps got the typhoid fever.
To newly married couples I would say
do not be deterred from the sweet inter
chang of tender glances and tokens of af
fection by the offensive notice of other
passengers. “Frail fleeting are the joys
of Love’s young dream. Besides you
will awaken the agreouble memoies of
crabby couples who were married some
time ago.
If you are a parent and have your chil
dren with you; and one is too old to
travel free, you can lay it across your
knees and feed it with pap when the
conductor comes along. He will then
pass it.
Time for Cows to Come In.
A cow that drops her calf in April is
of more value than one that comes in
earlier in the year, with the same care
and feed. If your cows drop their calves
in February, or the first part of March,
you will have to feed largely with grain,
roots, &c., the rest of the feeding sea
son, and pou will make an article of but
ter which must be sold immediately, as
you cannot keep sprinfi butter, nor can
you make butter as cheaply with the
mercury at zero or below, as when thirty
to sixty degrees above. By the first of
June, whether you have fed extra or
not, your cows will fall off in quantity
and quality of milk, aud you wiil have a
small yield of butter through the best
part of the season; when, if they had
come in six or eight weeks later, they
would have gone out to grass heavy and
strong, and capable of the qualsty of
butter. By the first of October your
cows will be nearly or quite dry, when
if they had dropped their calves in
April, you would have found that Oc
tober was the most profitable month of
the season. And further, you will find
this month and the next the best to feed
orain to cows. All cows in a herd
O
should drop their calves as near the
the same time as possible. If one should
drop her calf after you have commenced
to pock and put away butter, do not put
heTmUk with the rest for two weeks, or
more, as it is impossible to keep butter
made from it, and it will damage the
rast.

California Scenes and Inci
dents.
A correspondent writes';from San
I ranciseo : "Last evening, as I passed
the door of a restaurant, next to the
\\ estern l niou Telegraph, on Califor
nia street, I heard a shot, and looking
in, saw a waiter rush up to a young man
who sat a table, collar him and take a
pistol away iroui him. The young man
was well dressed and intelligent looking.
A tirreut of blood was pouring from h s
mouth and nose. The story was spoil
told. He was a stranger in the place.—
He had called for a two-dollar supper
and ate it, and drinking a two-dollar and
a halt bottle of wiue with it, then plac
,ed a small simile barreled pistol in his
mouth, pointed upwards and pullGl the
trigger. The shot was ineffective. The
bullet passed through his palate, struck
the base of the skull, glanced downward
and lodged some where in the neck,
without iuflicting a mortal, or, for that
matter, a very dangerousVouiul. Af
ter lie had got rid of about two quarts
ot blood, 1 asked him why he did it.
"V by, to kill myself, of course A man
would naturally suppose that when an
other fires a bullet into his brain, he
meant it, wouldn’t he V* The blamed
thing would not work, though I thought
I had a dead thing on it, and I have
got to do it all over I” “What is your
name ?” I asked None of your business!
I don’t owe you a cent, do I?” I sug
gested that his friends might care to
know w’hat had hppened to him.
“Friends? who the devil has friends in a
strange city without a dollar in his pock
et ?” was his sneering rejoiyder, as he
spit out another mouthful of blood.
The proprietor of the restaurant, a
German, came up and said, “mine friend,
it wasn’t uecessrry you should have bilked
me out of a dinner. If you had tolled
me that you wanted something to eat and
had no money, I w’ould have given you a
sqare meal at any time, and if you want
ed to kill yourself you might have done
it on the sidewalk, not came in here and
blood mine things all up this way.”
The would- be suicide replied ; ‘Well,
I am sorry, old feller, about the blood,
and I never thought about that; but as
to asking for a square meal, 1 ain’t a
begger if I am out of coin !”
Then an old mountaineer walked up,
examined the pistol, and remarked, dis
dainfully, ‘Wal, stranger, you are about
as neat a fool as ever struck this side of
the mountains! The idee of tryin’ to
blow your brains out w ith that darned
little pop gun, what aint for nothin’ but
ter kill tumble bugs with for sport!
You ort to die for*bein’ such a bloody
ignoramus !”
The young man spat out another
mouthful of plood, and said in a half-re
gretful half humorous tone, “Well, old
feller, I suppose my education has been
somewhat neglected, but I can’t help it.
I didn’t suppose it wovld take a coluui
biad to do it!” The mountaineer looked
at him earnestly and said “Darn me if
you ain’t the gamest chicken I’ve seen
lately, and I hope you’ll live ter think
the better of it, ahd buck at life with
better luck 1”
The police then cleared the side-walk
one of them remarked, “Gentjemen,the
performance is over for this evening, we
shall be most happy to see you all again
to-morrow* evening, when there will be
two new* dawns and an entire change of
programme.”
Salt for Swine. —Swine are such
greedy feeders that not a few* farmeis
pay very little attention to their feeding.
The swill barrel is often very little bet
ter than a stink, and the poor hogs are
expected to cat any thing and every
thing which is refused by the other ani
mals, human and brute alike. This
short sighted treatment, however, works
its own cure, or punishment rather, for
swine thus treated make poor pork, and
often die before killing time. Others
who are particular about feeding their
pigs forget tr supply them with salt, as
they do other animals. They require
salting, however, just as much as cattle,
horses, or sheep, and suffer as much
when neglected as any of these animals.
If the food be not regularly salted, tlure
should be a trough or box in every sfy.
in which salt may be deposited regular
ly for the use of the animals. Salting
the food judiciously w*ould be much the
best way.
To Keep Mice from Trees.— W II

has found that the best way to keep mice
from girdling trees to be “to take a com
jnon-size sheet of tin and cut iuto four
equal parts, bend around a fork handle
to give the dasired shape, and apply to
the trunks. This makes a barrier that
the mice cannot get over or around, aud
costs but a trifle.” Dr. Ilexamer found
it easier and cheaper to bank up about
the trees, for twelve or fifteen inches,
with dirt in the fall, removing it in the
spring. He has also found it effectual
to tramp the saow about the tree af
ter every snow fall. The Commander
of the Club says he has found banking
up about a tree in the fall, as recom
mended by Dr. Ilexamer, uot only kept
the mice away, but prevented the water
settling about the crowns, and by freez
ing and thawing, burst the bark off.
