There is lovely spot Of earth
To which we cling with fond delight;
1t is the spot which gave us birth,
Where frat our eyelids bsiI'd the light.
There were my infant gambols play'd.
With ightsome heart upon the green;
Not then hostile world dispiay'd
The woes which cheqaer life's sad scene.
little thought my wandering feet
From that dear spot so soon should roam.
My way ward fate alone to meet
Far. far away from native home.
Par from the friends whose gentle care.
My infant pains did all beguiie,
No more view that home 80 dear,
No more on me those friends shall smile,
But there's home fer souls opprest;
And when Iiie's sickly dream is Ger,
Beneath the verdant sod shall rest,
These wandering feet to rove no more.

CULTIVATION OF THE VINE.
Glasgow Vineyard, Nov. 2

Glasgow Vineyard, Nov. %.
Gentlemen have received your let
ter by Mr.. Beauchamp, requesting me TO
give you sketch Of the Vineyard at this
place, planted by a Swiss gentleman and
myself.
The situation of the ground on which
the vines are planted is elevated. The
vines are planted on the southeast OF the
bill and rather ia rolling position, well
calculated to drain the water off in heavy
raios, which conceive very essential to
the culture Of vines. The grape that we
cultivate is Of different species we have
planted of the Madeira, Claret, Cape, Bur
gundy, and Champaign. The Claret and
Cape thrive well aud ripen remarkably
regular. The vines of the Madeira thrive
finely, though they do not ripen SO we'll al
the others. I have declined cultivatins
them, as / think they will not succeed II
this climate. The first vines were plant
ed in nursery, 10 1918, from the slips
aud in 1914 we planted them out 10 the
manner that we wanted them to grow
The first part Of the vineyard consisted o
about two and a half acres II bore small
crop Of grapes in 1915, and in 1917 W.
made five barrels Of wine, which was 0
the Claret and Madeira quality. Thu
Vineyard now consists Of about five acres
they have never failed bearing since they
first began. This fall I made Moe barrel

acres had just begun TO bear; aud (fron

First management ofragged 'uoumds.-
II often happens that workmen and others
are severely wounded at places where
hours and even days elapse, before medi-
cal aid can be obtained aud 10 case Of
much laceratinn, or ragged wounds. the
danger Of lock-jaw is very much increased
by improper applications, and more espe-
cially by insufficient covering. The OBJ
ject Of this paper is to inform such as may
be unfortunate, how they are TO proceed.
Let the parts be laid together 10 The most
ample manner, pouIiice Of bread and
milk applied and renew it every "a
hours. The poultice must be very thick,
and made to cover every part, aud ex-
clude The air completely. The author Of
this saw man that was partly ground in a
mill, and no medical aid being at hand,
the patient was fairly wrapped in poul-
tice,; and so neat was the wound, when
opened, that the physician continued the
application many days.
The East indians have like method
of excluding the ar. by earth or plaster
moulds. i. e. when legs are broken to pie
ces by shot or otherwise--and the testi-
mony of some Of the British physicians,
is uneQuivocal in its favor. These assert,
that limbs are saved by it, that they would
Instantly have amputated.
The common method of applying lit
tie salve or lint, is bad, when compared
to complete poultice, which instantly
soothes the irritated fibres, and excludes
the air. After few days dressing with
this, if there is any danger OF mortifica-
ton, let the poultice be one half Of cham.
omile, previously stewed in little water
and when the suppuration is fairly estab'
llished, then use salves and lint-be sure
to exclude the access Of air.

From the Village Record.

An anecdote has been related to me, Of
a character SO extraordinary that think
it ought to be recorded. 1t comes from
source entitled to credit. During the
revolutionary war, two British soldiers Of
the army OF Lord CORVALLIS, went into a
house and abused a young woman 10 a
most cruel and shameful manner. A third
soldier in going into the house, met them
coming out and knew them. The girl
acquitted him Of all blame, bat he was
imprisoned because he refused to disclose
the names of the offenders. Every art
was tried, but in vain, and at length he
was condemned, by court martial to die
When on the gallows Lord CORVALLIS,
surprised at bis pertinacity, rode near
him
Campbell" said he, 6 what fool are
you to die thus. Disclose the names Of
the guilty men and you shall be immedi-
ately released otherwise you have not
Is minutes TO live"
You are 10 an enemy's country, my
lord" replied Campbell, you can better
spare one man than two"
Firmly adhering to his purpose, he died:
Does history furnish similar instance
Of such strange devotion for mistaken
point Of honor
do not recollect to have seen the fact
stated though it deserves to be remember
ed. General Washington had two favour
lite horses. A large elegant parade horse.
He was Of a chesnut color, high spirited.
and Of a gallant carriage. This horse had
belonged to the British army. His other
was a smaller, aud bis color sorrel. This
he used always to ride ia time Of action.
So that whenever the general mounted him
the word ran through the ranks, "We
lhave Business on hand"

both sides, and the words " barbarisy,
cruelty and DEATH were frequently pro-
nounced by the daughter.--At length the
father left her, locking the door after him.
The apartment Of Shaw was ouly d.
vided by slight partitiou from that Of
one Morrison, watch case maker, who
had indistincily heard the conversation
and quarrel between Cafharine Shaw and
her father aud was particularly struck
with the words she had pronounced so
emphatically. For some time after the
father had gone out ali was silent but
presently Morrison heard several groans
from the daughter. He called in some OF
the neishbors and these listening atten-
lively, not only heard the eroans, but also
family exclaim, g Cruel father thou art
the cause OF my death. Struck with
this they got constable, and forced the
door of Shaw's apartment, when they
found the daughter welteriDg in her
blood, and knife by her side. She was
alive and speechIess; but GU questioning
heras TO owing her death to her father,
she was just able to make motion with
her head, apparently in the affirmative,
and then expired.
AT this moment Shaw enters the room.
All eyes are upon hin He sees his
neighbours and constable 10 his apart-
ment, and seems much disordered but at
the sight Of his daughter he turns pale,
trembes, and is ready to sink. The first
surprize and The succeeding horror leave
little doubt OF his guilt 10 the breasts of
his beholders; and even that little is
done away, on the constable discovering
that the shirt of William Shaw is bloody
He was instantly hurried before
magistrate, and upon tie deposition Of The
parties committed for trial. 10 vain did
he protest his Innocence, and declare that
the blood OH his shirt was occasioned by
his having bIooded himself few days
before, aud the bandage having become
united. The circumstances appeared so
strong against him, that he was found
guilty, was executed, and hung ia chains
at Leitb. His last words we're, 6 ana

examined it, aud Oh being satisfied of its
authenticity, they ordered the body of
William Shaw to be taken from the glib
bet, and given TO his family for inierment;
and as the only reparation TO his memory
and the honor Of his surviving relations,
they caused a pair of colours TO be waved
over bis grave, 10 token Of his innocence,
