AN INVOCATION.

Father, when with critic eye,
/ gaze upon my fellow man, and turn
From him aweary and Disguised;
Forced in the interium to sigh,
And in my souls deep bitterness to learn
That treachery turks where / have trusted ;
That words I've loved and teaetcd on,
Were drugged with falsehood one.
O, make each foible that awakes my moan,
Serve as a mirror to reflect my own.
And when I lightly would pass Ger
My own OBJECTIONS or perchance well pleas
With fancied worth, for aye would slunber
Till conscience scarcely waking more,
Shall deep in false security lie eased;
Oh helpme then, my faults to number,
And rouse me from my fearful dream,
And give me of Heavens light CLEAN,
Till each frailty of my own shall scan,
AS critically as my fellow man.

CURE ron CAEcER.-Mr. Thomas
Tyrell, Of Missouri, adyertisss that
cancer upon his nose, which had been
treated without success BY Dr.. Smith of
New Haven, and the ablest surgeons il the
Western country, had been cured IN the
following manner: He was recommend
ed to use strong potash, made Of asles Of
red oak bark, boiled down 10 the con-
sistence of moiasses, to cover the cancer
with il, and inabout an hour afterwards to
cover with a plaster Of tar, which must Be
removed after few days, and If any pro.
turberances remain in the wound apply
more potash 70 them ana The plaster again,
until they shall disappear after which,
heal the wound with common salve.
Cautery and knife had been previously
used in vain. The treatment effected a
perfect and speedy cure--N y Com.

OLD IRON SIDES ON A LEE
SHORE,
BY AN BYE WITNESS,

BY AN EYE WITNESS.
TWAS at the close Of stormy day in
the year 1885, When the gallant frigate
Constitution, under the command of Cap
tain Elliot--having on board the late Ed
ward Livingston, late Minister at the
Court Of France, and his family, and
manned by nearly FIVE hundred souls
drew near to "lhe chops" of the En-
glish Channel, For four days she had
been beating doyn from Plymouth, and on
the fifth, at evening, she made her last tack
for the French coast.
The watch was set at 8 p. IN. the
Captain came on deck soon after, and hav.
ing ascertaiaed the bearing Of Sicily, gave
orders to keep the ship full and byc,'
remarking al the same time to the officer
Of the deck, that he might take the light
on the lee beam, but he stated, he thought
it moro than probable that he would pass it
without seeing il. He then turned in, ,
as did most of the oilers and the starboard
watch.
Alta quarter past 9, p. m. the ship
headed west by the compass, when the call
of Light Or was heard from the FORE
topsail yard.
"Where awaylH asked the officer Of
the deck.
@Three points on the lee bow" replied
the lookout man which the unprofes-
sionaI reader will readily understand Ia
mean very nearly straight ahead. At
this moment, the Captain appeared and
took the trumpet.
Call an hands" was his immediate
order.
All hands" whistled the boatswain,
with the long shriIl summons, familiar tc
the ears Of all who have ever been on
board a man of war.
All hands, screamed the boatswaIn'
mates, and ere the last echo died away, al
but sick, were upon the deck

THE WINE cue.


The wine cup touch Il not
Youth take thy hand away
Poverty fllsit up
With ruin and decay.
Oh. Youngster, heed thee well,
Ere thou hast qnaiied drop
The seeds Of death are there
Whose work thou canst not stop.
That vine cup, spurn il hence
Though t may sparkle we'll
Though il be old and red.
And suit thy palate well.
OF, tits the fatal goal
Whence leads the Drunkard's path
Then heed 4, youngster, well:--
Shun woes the drunkard hath
Then in the festive hall,
Thou meet'st jovial band,
When merry goes the hour,
Where are voices sweet and bland
Should there the wine cup come,
Creating higher joy,
Oh, spurn the wine cup, then,
IT'S dangerous, my boy.
When in the wide world, youth,
Thou hold'st thy devious way,
If from the path Of truth,
Temptations lead astray-
II urg'd to drain the glass,
With thoughtless, needless men,
oh, as thou lov'st thyselE
Touch not the wine cup then.
Should hours Of darkness come;
And thy hearts purpose fail,
Should life to thee seem vain,
And earth a dreary Vale
Oh, to the voice of truth
Take heed, nor then be deaf
Shun, shm the wine cup, then,
It cannot give relief

GAR IN CHICKENS The Farmers
Cabinet being a medium through which
much useful information has been dis.
seminated, am induced TO send the fol-
lowing remedy for the gap" in chickens.
My little son last spriug undertook the
management of the poultry, and was much
troubled by his young chickens dying off
with the above mentioned disease. He f.
nally discovered the cause by diSsecting
one, and numerous long worms, about the
thickness of a common pin, were found in
its windpipe. He then took feather,
and stripped it, except small tuf on the
end, dipped it in spirits Of ,urpentine, and
inserted IT in the w:ndpipe Of the affected
chickens, turning it around two or three
times before Withdrawing it. Il was at
tended with the most complete success,
and appeared to give almost immediate re-
lief. In afew cases Il required arepeti-
ton. The disease was very soon eradica-
ted from his flock, and he afterwards rails
ed more than l40 chickens. The en-.
franco 10 the windpipe is on the top Of the
tongue, and near its root, and may easily
be discovered by holding the chickens bill
open a short time H.

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-There is scarcely
a profession in which the sympathies offs
professors are more painfully excited than
that Of the medical practitioner. How
often is he called to the bed Of hol eless
sickness: and that, too, in family, the
members of which are drawn together by
the closest bonds of lovet How painful
is it to meet the inquiring gaze Of attached
friends,weeping relatives, directed towards
him in quest Of consolation, assurances Of
safety, which he cannot give! And how
melancholy is it to behold the last ray Of
hope which had fingered upon the face Of
affection, giving place to that dark cloud
of despair.
And when all is over, when the bitter
ness of death has passed from the dead to.
the living, from the departed to the be-
reaved bark to that shrek of agony, that
convulsiye sob, that bitter groan Wrung
from the hearts core, which bespeaks the.
utter prostration Of the spirit beneath the.
blow
There, cold in the embrace of death lies.
the h0nored husband Of a heart broken
wife; her first, her only love! or may be
the young wife Of distracted husband, the
bride ola year, the mother Of an hour, and
by her perhaps the blighted fruits Of their
loye-the bud by the blossom and both
are Withered.

A FARMER S DAUGHTER.--A few years
ago, a turner living a few miles from
Easton, sent his daughter on horseback to.
that town to procure from the bank small
notes for one Of 100 dollars, When she
arrived there the banks had closed, and
she endeavored to effect her object by
offering it at several stores, but could not
get her note changed. She had not zone.
far on her return, when a stranger rode up.
to her and accosted her with SO much
polIteness, that she had not the slightest
suspicion Of any evil intention on his part.
After ride Of a mile or twos employed IN
very social conversation, they came to a
retired part Of the road, and the gentleman
commanded her to give hirl.fh bank. note.
Il was. with some difficulty that she could
be made 70 believe him. in earnest, as his
demeanor had been So friendly-but the.
presentation Of q pistol placed this matter
beyond doubt and she yielded TO neces-
sity. Just as she held the note to him, a.
sudden puff Of wind blew the note into the
road, ana carried il gently several yards
from them. The discouFteous knight
alighied 70 oyertalSe il, and tie lady whip
ped her horse to get out Of his power, aud
the ether horse who had been left standing
BY her SIDE started With her. HIS owner
fired a pistol, which only tended 10 increase
the speed &c all parties and the young lady
arrived safely at home with the horse of he
robber, 81 which was a pair Of saddle BAGS.
When these were opened, they were found
70 contain, besides quantity Of counierieit
bank notes fifteen hundred dollars Ia good
money TIE horse was q good one, ana
when sadded and bFidled. was thought Is
Be worth al least as much as The bank note
that uas slolen.
