THE ROSE OF EARTH.-Eve, the
mother Of mortals, walked one day
alone and sorrowful, on the desecra-
ted soil Of this sinful earth. Sudden
ly she espied rose Tree laden with
expanded blossoms, which like the
blush Of dawn shed a rosy light upon
the green leaves around them.
"Ahl" cried she with rapture, is it
a deception, or do | indeed here be-
hold the lovely roses OF Eden! Al
ready do | breathe from alar their
paradisaical sweetness''
"Hail, gentle type Of innocence
and Joy! Art thou not a silent
pledge, that even among the thorns
of earth Eden's happiness may
bloom! Surely it is bliss even to
enhale the pure fragrance Of thy
flowersl"
Even while she was speaking,
with her gaze bent upon a profusion
of roses there sprang up a light
breeze which stirred the boughs Of
the tree; and lol the petals OF the
lulLblcwn flowers silently detached
and sank upon the
ground. Eve exclaimed with a sigh:
"Alasl We also are the children of
deathl / read your meaning--types
of earthly joys"

MARYLAND ToBAcco CRoP.-The
Marlboro Gazette says:
awe have made dilligent inquiry,
and from all sections of the Tobacco
growing country we find the opinion
prevails that it is impossible 10 make
any thing like an average crop this
season. In the first place there was
a scarcity Of seed in this country
then the f1y was more than usually
destructive 10 the young plants, and
after they bad grown beyond the
ravages of this insect, the weather
became cool and dry. with harsh
winds, and iE many places the beds
have failed, and are every where fast
failing. We know many large grow
ers who have no plants at all, and
are depending on their neighbors.-
For three weeks there has been no
rain in this neighborhood, and but
little in any other section OF the
count:y-and well judging planters
say that the prospects for planting
are worse than at this time last year.
Last years crop was third short of
an ave. age, and there is no hope that
there will be a greater yield this sea-
son, and il may be much less"

WALNUT LsAvrs rn THE TREAr.

WALNUT LEAVES IN THE TREAT.
MENr OF DIsEAsE.-Dr. Negrier, ply
sician at Anglers, France, has pub
lished a statement Of his success in
the treatment OF scrofulons diseases,
in different forms, by preparations
Of walnut leaves. He has tried the
walnut leaves for ten years, and out
of fiity-six patients, afflicted in DIFF
lerent forms, thiriy-one were COM
pleteIy cured, and there were only
four who appeared to have obtained
no advantage.
The insusions Of the walnut tree
leaves are made by cutting them and
infusing about good pinch between
the thumb and fo.e-fnger, in half a
pint of boiling water, and then
sweetening it with sugar. To a
grown person. M. Negrier prescribed
from two to three teacupsfull Of this
daily. This medicine is a slightly
aromatic bitter, its efficiency is near
ly uniform in scrofulous disorders,
and il is stated never to have caused
any unpleasant effects. 1t augmenis
the activity OF circulation and diges-
ton, and TO the functions imparts
much energy. 1t is supposed to act
upon the Emphatic system, as under
its influence the muscles become firm
and the skin acquires a ruddier hue.
Dry leaves may be used throughout
the winter, but syrup made of the
green leaves is more aromatic. A
salve made OF strong extract Of
the leaves mixed along with clean
lard and a few drops Of the oil OF
bergamont is most excellent for sores.
A strong decoction of the leaves is
excellent for washing them. The
salutary effects of this medicine do
not appear on a sudden-no visible
effect may be noticed for twenty
days, but perseverance in it, SAYS NJ.
Negrier, will certainly effect cure.
As walnut tree leaves are plenty
and cheap enough in America, and
as the extract of item is in no way
dangerous nor unpleasant 10 use,
and as scrofula cases are not uncom-
mon, a trial Of this simple medicine
should be made. In directing atten-
tinn to it, good results may be expec-
ted. 1t is our opinion that every
country has within its own borders
those medicines best suited 10 the
wants OF its inhabitants; to discover
where and what those medicines are
should engage the attention OF our
physicians.-ScientJfc American.

the 18th, we had "touch OF the
romantic" in the way of an elope-
ment Of young couple from Green

"hearts brim full OF love-" for the
purpose Of having the knot tied.-
AS no license could be obtained, the
company, consisting of Mr.. Good

Hull, aud few friends, took a yawl,
and proceeded to the island opposite
this city. where the ceremony was
duly perfarmed in the presence ol
three or four skif:loads Of curious

fugitives. After this was over, they
all returned TO town, in a very JOY
Gus mood, singing in high glee.

"WHAT ARE BIRDS Coon FoR7'
The American Agriculturist in an
swer to this inquiry relates the fol.
lowing anecdotes:
In connection with this subject,
we will give an anecdote related Ia
US last winter by Governor Aiken
Of South Carolina, OF the rice-birds.
These little creatures gather around
the rice fields at harvest time in
countless myriads, and Of course
consume considerable grain. Some
years ago it was determined TO make
war upon them and drive them out
OF the country, and the measure was
in some degree successful, so far as
getting rid Of the birds. "What are
birds good fort" The rice planter
soon found out; for with the decrease
oi birds, the worms increased so rap
idly that, instead Of a few scattering
grains to feed the birds, the whole
crop was demanded to fill the insa-
table nav Of the army that came TO
consume every young shoot, as fast
as they sprung from the ground.
Most undoubtedly the birds were in
vited back again with hearty well
come. Rice cannot be cultivated
without their assistance.
A few years ago, the blackbirds in
the north part OF Indiana were con.
sidered a grevious nuisance to the
farmer. Whole fields Of oats were
sometimes destroyed and the depre-
dations upon late corn were greater
than can be believed, if told. The
farmer sowed and the birds reaped.
He scolded and they twittered. Oc-
casionalIy charge OF shot brought
down a score, but made no more
impression upon the great sea of birds
than the removal Of a single bucket
OF water from the great salt puddle.
A few years later, every green thing
on the land seemed destined TO de-
struction by The army worm. Man
was powerless-a worm among
worms. But his best friends, the ha-
ted blackbirds, came to his relief Just
in time to save when all seemed lost.
No human aid could have helped
him. How thankful should man be
that Cod has ryiven him FIR his corn
panions and fellow laborers in the
cultivation Of the earth, these lovely
birds. "The laborer is worthy Of
his hire" Why should we begrudge
the little moiety claimed by the busy
little fellows which followed the
plough, and snached the worm away
from the seed. that it might produce
grain for their and our sustenancel
"No honest man would cheat bird |
of his spring and summers work"

if TO do good is the hest evidence n man can
give that he is gooi, then feel bound to nd

As testimony that this is not vain battery
give the following brief sketch of my OWL ex-
perienee;
When l was twenty years old, wns very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
cian called "Slnw Feyer,r during which time |

years, was very often sick and under the care

self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending TO the grave. Soon after
wards, however, ] purchased a box Of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, to be
more efeetunl in removing disease, than any
medicine had ever tried before, repIenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where | was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice / have crossed the At
lantic Ocean, and have now spent the last four
years in an Office in this sickIy city. Once
while travelling in the West, was taken sud-
dedly very i'll, the friend at whose house stop
ped called in physician, who made a very
careful examination Of my case. and then pro-
posed 70 commence process which he stated
would 50 reduce my system as to confne me to
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took dose of Brandreth's
Pills. called the next day and paid the pbysi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, and
this is ihe only instance OF my being visited
by physician since purchased the first box Of
Brandreth's Pills II years ago.
My health is now vssiiy setter than it has
been for "a years before / commenced the use
Of these Pills. They have been my constant |

Twelve years When we find our health i'm

A FIERY WINDMnL--One of the
most singular and striking things in
connection with the late fire in San
Francisco occurred on the corner oI
Samsome and Pine streets where had
recently been erected a windmill. =
The flames had enveloped it. and all
had fed from the house, when the
break by which the machine is
stopped was burned, and the wheel
at once turned TO the wind, and COM

ty. Round and round it flew, scat
teriug sparks and brands from its
burning circumference. like scintilla-
tons from blacksmith's forge. The
sheet OF fame that broke over it
seemed only TO increase its speed,
and even when the whole wheel was
wrapped in flames it continued to
revolve. 1t was a strange sight 10
see that fiery circle moving round
amid the flames and smoke of the
building. Not until all save the rim
was burned did it cease to revolve,
and then il was slowly and by de-
grees that it yielded. as if exhausted
by the furious attacks of the fire
One moment il stood. then, Iotlering,
fell into The ruins beneath.

TaE EsRTHQUAKE SHOCK AT San
FRANcIsco.-A correspondent OF the
N. Y. Sun, writing at 4 O'Clock on
the afternoon of the 18th, says:
About hslfpast 8 O'Clock this NOR
ming our city waslslaTtled BY the
shock Of an earthquakel Men issued
from the shaking houses into the
streets in CONSERVATION.
Hundreds were without meat and
money, almost without Clothes
The hoarders at Jones' Hotel and the
Oriental were at breakfast, and so
violent was the shock that they
rushed from the table into the street,
oVerturning everything in their way.
The wharves trembIed like aspen
leaves, and the frame buildings ad-
Joining vibrated some eight or ten
inches. The brick buildings were SO
violently shaken as to induce the be.
lief that they would fall 10 the
ground.
The shock lasted but one instant,
bat that was long enough to cause
the most exciting alarm. The effect
seemed to be from south east to-
northwest and was sensibly Eel, for
a distance oil two or three miles.

A LEGAL DIsTINcTIoN.-Two
prominent advocates in the eastern
section, within fifty miles of the city
of Bangor, (Maine) were once en-
gagged in case in court, on the op-

very much enlisted in their clients

of his remarks, made an assertion
which very much excited the other,
who thereupon sprang upon his feet
and exclaimed: "Brother G. do you

say it as a lawyer. it is very we'll, but
If you say il as man. you lie."
