Address j JOSEPH T. INMAN, Station D, Bible House, Nsw York City POETRY. 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. AfiTwTi nTlimcTeye su. With fond adoring gaze, 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.” T. L. Cl yler, D. D. Bgi*, Anna Dickinson says she pro poses giving newspaper men that talk about her “tit for tat.” Sol Miller, Ar kansas editor, replied to this by saying : “All right Anna, we ll trade; heresyour tat.” That editor must have a queer taste, or he would have nothing to do with old Anna’s tit! 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. A Vermonter swindled a Western farmer out of S7OO. by tinting up the fleeces of some sheep, and passing them off as a rare imported breed. Titusville claims the largest cooper’s shop iu the United States. It has a frontage of six hundred and fifty feet, and a capacity of forty thousand barrels. 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 Randall, tells the Farmers’ Club that he 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. It is hard work to teach people who will bo nothing without being taught. N mnlier 30. VARIETY. A woman s ring—a sewing circle. Female gatherings—Jodie's ruffles.

I proarious disposition is the charge made against his wife by the lrst Indian t applicant for divorce. All the sense in the world is useless to him who has none; he has no views, and can’t be profited by another man’s. holly—to think you eon make pork out of pig iron, or that you may becomo a shoemaker by drinking sherry cob blers. FifForts are making to establish an in stitution in New Hampshire for the care ot orphans and homeless children of the State. A Maine paper asserts that ‘‘Nathan iel Stetson, of Durham, recently lost a valuable eow by having swallowed a darning needle.” A medical Journal estimates that the people of the United States pay $124,- 000,000 } e illy f>r physicians’ services, and for medicines. The nerve 'which never relaxes, the eye which never blauehes, the thought which never wanders—are the masters of victory. The harp of the human spirit never yields such sweet music as when its frame work is most shattered, and its strings most torn. There is no ft ar of kneeling too much, though there is great fear of practicing too little. The most doing man shall bo the most knowing man. A Michigan doctor dismissed his sor \ant girl lor sprinkling ashes on a slip pery place in front of his residence to the detriment of business. Affection, like spring flowers, breaks through the most frozen ground, at last; and the heart which seeks for another heart to make it happy, will not seek iu vain. In judging ourselves we cannot be too severe ; in judging others we cannot be too lenient. We should judge our selves by ajur motives, but others by their actions, ‘•.Set aside a liberal per centage for ad vertising. Keep yourself unceaseingly before the public; and it matters not what business you are engagod in, for, if intelligently and industriously pursued a fortune will be the result.“ A Useful Table. To aid farmers in arriving at accuracy in estimating the amount of land in dif ferent fields, under cultivation, the fol lowing table is given by an agricultural cotemporary: Five yards wide by 978 yards long contains one acre. Ten yards wide by 484 yards long contains one acre. Twenty yards wide by 242 yards long contains one acre. Forty yards wide by 121 yards long contains one acre. Eighty yards wide by 101 yards long contains one acre. Seventy yards wide by 691 yards long contains one acre. Two hundred and twenty feet wide by 198 feet long contains one acre. Four hundred and forty feet wide by 90 feet long contains one acre. Eleven feet wide by 398 feet long contains one acre. Sixty feet wide by 726 feet long con tains one acre.
