Curran's Ingenuity.

A farmer, attending a fair with hundred
pounds in his pocket, took the precaution OF
depositing it in the hands of the landlord of the
public house at which he stopped. Having oc-
oasIon for it shortly afterwards, he resorted TO
mine host for the bailment, but the landlord,
too deep for the counlryman, wondered what
hundred he meant, and was quite sure no such
sum had ever been lodged in his hands by the
astonished rustic After Intellectual appeals to
the Irecolection, and finally 10 the honor of
Bardolph, the farmer applied TO Curran for ad-
vice.
"Have patience, my friend" said the coun-
sci; "speak TO the landlord civilly, and tell him
you are convinced that you must have left your
money with some other person. Take friend
with you, and lodge with him another hundred
in the presence of your friend, and come to me-"
We must imagine and not commit to paper
the vociferations of the honest dupe at such adj
vice; however, moved by the rhetoric or au-
thority of the worthy council, he followed it,
and returned to his legal friend.
"And now, sir, don't see as am to be bet
ter off for this, if get my second hundred
again; but how is that to be done!"
$50 and ask him for it when he is Alone"
said the counsel
"Aye, sir, but asking won't do, lZe afraid,
without my witness, at any rate"
"Never mind, take my advice" said the
counsel; "do as bid you, and return to me-"
The farmer returned with his hundred, glad
TO find that safe again in his possession.
"Now, sir, suppose must be content; but
don't see as Pm much better of"
"Well, then," said the counsel, snow take
your friend with you, and ask the landlord for
the hundred pounds your friend saw you leave
with him."
We need not add ,ha. the willy landlord found
that he had been taken off his guard, while our
honest friend Ewhom one would almost wish to
have tried the second ,ime.l returned to thank
his counsel exultingly, with both hundreds in
his pocket.

glass into substance resembling the richest
silk, is now, in London, being brought into We.
ry general operation, and in various ways, such

We find the following specimen in card
published in an Arkansas paper by some Que
who had been charged with not wishingto cell
ebrate the Fourth of July:
"Shades of Washington, Hancock, and Ethan
Allen! If have offended, remember the frail-
ty of mortals, and be propitiousl What! abol-
ish that day Of days. that day when the con-
cen,ra,ed wisdom of ages was blazoned forth
on that Immortal sheetp--that epoch, not only
in American history, but in the history of the
world! that day when the Phenix spirit of Uni
versal liberty arose up out of the American SOIL
and spread her broad pinions never again 10 be
folded-that day, for the celebration of which
|, in my boyhood days, expended the last six
pence to buy fre-crackers! Forbid it's depart
ed shades! Pacific Ocean, thou inkstand of

The Report on RuSt and MildeuD on Wheat
by committee Of the late quarterly meeting Of
our New Jersey Agricultural Society, ascribes
these evils to the loss Of sap through the split
ting of the straw, under hot sum- Immediately
after shower Or heavy fog Two crops were
carefully examined-one after sudden drench-
ing shower, and the other after fog-and in
both cases the straw was found bursting Under
a hot sun with swapping noise, in short splits
OF fourth Of an inch long, and the sap exuding
in every direction. A day or two after, the
whole field was darkened with rust Tin both
cases and the wheat of very little value. 1t does
not appear that these evils occur while the
wheat is growing, but only at late and critical
period of ripening In one field there were
some trees which sheltered the grain from the
intense rays Of the sun, and IN those spots it
was uniniuIed. The Committee concluded that
there is no sure practicable means Of security,
and add:
Mildew and rust, are more common now, than
before the Hessian Fly appeared in this state.
last of August, and the first of September, tiller.
ed largely, Obtained great strength Of roots, and
was but little injured by winter frosls the effect
of which was TO produce strong bright straw,
with but few leaves; the consequence Of which
was but little mildew and rust,
The fly having totally cut off the wheat, put
the farmer OIL many schemes TO meet this ruin
Gus enemy. Among The experiments tried, ma
nuring high just at seed time, and sowing late
was much depended on. But disappointment
frequently followed from mildew or rust. As
early sown wheat produces the strongest straw
and fewest leaves, and not so liable to be laid
with wet nor so apt TO be thrown out of the
ground by winter frosts, these reasons are re-
commend il as preventative to rust.
At what particular time wheat ought TO be
sown, to escape both fly and rust, is not easy
to setle, but should the fly cease its depreda-
lions, early in September, say from the 18Th TO
the goth, would be advisable, for the various
reasons assigned above. The late sown wheat
sometimes succeeds under particular cultivation
and soil; still the chances agains. it are ten to
one.

A STORY of Crime and yVo.

Six years ago wealthy and influential wild
over of foriy-five named DIR. McC--. of
Chelsea, VT, hired an amiable and beautiful
girl of eighteen, named Mary =, to as
sumo the care of his children and household.
A few months after, they were seen to ride
away together, and in the next Woodstock pa
per appeared an announcement that they had
been married at that place, by an Episcopal
clergyman. They returned as man and wife,
and have so lived until short time since; when
DIR. McC-- dismissed the unfortunate wo-
man from his house, alleging that they had new
er been married! Whether she had been utter
ly deceived by sham marriage, or had con-
sented 10 deceit in order to save herself from
inevitable shame, cannot now be ascertained.
The poor victim, driven in disgrace from the
house in which she had SO long been regarded
as viriuous wife, and thus rendered an oulcast
from society, dared not return TO her relatives;
she went elsewhere and procured employment;
but the finger of scorn was pointed at her, and
in whatever company, she found herself alone
fallen, loathed and stunned. She could not en-
dure this: and returned at length by night TO
the house of her destroyer and begged piteous-
ly for shelter and protection, declaring that she
had wandered long without food and was starV-
ing. At length the door was opened to her,
from dread of attracting the attention of the
neighborhood. She was fed and turned away,
with strict orders never TO show herself there
again. She left: but where could she go? All
day she wandered in the woods and ledges ad-
jaceni; and in the night, faint and shIvering,
she crept back TO the only place she could just
ly claim protection, and cried for home. She
was repelled; bu. the noise aroused neighbors,
who insisted that she should be allowed a shell
ter II was agreed that she might stay that
night but should leave in the morning, neigh
Dor agreeing 10 take her to her nearest relatives.
81 will 60 if alive" was the only promise that
could be extorted from her. She went to her
room and the next morning was found in it,
dead! Deserted, loathed, despairing, without
a friend or hope in the world, the wretched
victim committed suicide!
And yet the world will go on, furnishing the
starving thief with rigor, and leaving the wan
ton, deliberate, calculating destroyer Of female
innocence and Of the peace and happiness of
families, utterly untouched and uncensured by
its laws! How horrible the PROCLAMATION Of the
name of Justice!

POETRY.
From the Louisville Journal.
The Golden RingIet.

The Golden Rinslet.
Here is little golden tress
OF soft, unbraided hair,
The all that's left of loveliness
That once was thought so fair;
And yet, though tine has dimm'd its sheen,
Though all besides hath fed,
hold it here, link between
My spirit and the dead.
Yes, from this shining ringlet still
A mournful memory springs,
That melts my heart, and sends Il rill
Through all its trembling strings.
think of her, the loved, the wept,
Upon whose forehead fair,
For eighteen years. like sunshine, slept,
This golden curl of hair.
Oh, sunny tress! the joyous brow
Where thou didst lightly wave,
With all thy sister tresses now
Lies cold within the grave.
That cheek is of its bloom bereft:
That eye no more is gay:
Of all her beauties thou are left
solitary ray.
Four years have passed, this very June,
Since last we fondly met
-Four years! and yet it seems too soon
To let the heart forget
Too soon to let that lovely face
From our sad thoughts depart,
And to another give the place
She held within the heart.
Her memory still within my mind
Retains its sweetest power.
1t is the perfume left behind,
To whisper of the flower.
Each blossom, that in moments gone
Bound up this sunny curl,
Recalls the form, the look, the tone,
Of that enchanting girl.
Her step was like an April rain
Der beds of violets flung;
Her voice prelude to strain,
Before the scng is sung;
Her life, it twas like half blown flower,
Closed ere the shades of even;
Her death the dawn, the blushing hour
That opens the gates of Heaven.
A single tress. how slight thing
To sway such magic art,
And bid each soft remembrance spring
Like blossoms in the heart!
1t leads me back to days of old
To her loved so long,
Whose locks outshone pellucid gold,
Whose lips oeraowed with song.
Since then I've heard a thousand lays
From lips as sweet as hers;
Yet when strove to give them praise,
| only gave them tears.
! could not bear, amid the throng
Where jest and laughter rung,
To hear another sing the song
That trembled on her tongue.
A single shining tress of hair
To bid such memories start:
But, tears are on lis lustre-there
/ lay it on my heart
Oh! when in Deaths cold arms sink,
Who then, with gentle care,
