A BACHELORS WOES.

., What a pitiful thing
''' An old bachelor is,
'.AH With his cherries house,
u ril And his rueful phiz!
a~F On bitter cold night,
When the fierce winds blow,
When the earth is covered
' With foot of snow;
Ia When his fire is out,
.7asa And in shivering dread,
s.,..g lie slips meath the sheets
OF his lonely bed.
How he draws up his toes,
7a5 All encased in yarn hose,
Laa, And he buries his nose
Meath the chilly bed-clothes;
Thap his nose and his toes,
'.s' = Still encaaed in yarn hose,
H'3, May not chance to be frozc
.lata Then he puGs and he blows,
ID And swears that he knows
No mortal on earth
'.'" Ever suffered such woes.
~ And with "ah's" and "oh'S"
zsE And limbs SO disposed,
That neither his toes .. ...
Nor his nose may be froEe,
TO his slumbcrs in silence
.'.'~ The bachelor goes.
s. - At morn the cock crows,
saaa And the sun has just rose,
From beneath the bed clothes
Pops the bachelors nose,
- And as you may suppose,
- ~ When the cold wind blows,
g j., And the windows all froze,
Why back meath the clothes,
Pops the poor fellows nose,
For full well he knows,
Fs5a' If from the bed he rose,
igaa 10 put on his clothes,
,s.,. That he'd surely be froze.
From one who "knows"
A poor bachelors woes.

Interesting TO old People.

We find in an "old paper" the follow
ing method recommended to aged people,
as means of enabling them to preserve
their eyesight, or to recover it after it has
failed
Every morning, when washing your
self, dip you face into the water, open
your eyes and keep them under the wa
ter, so long as you can hold your breath.
This strengthens the eye and cleanses
it from the rheum which deadens the
sight and considerably affects the ball
A gentleman in Maryland, by the name
of James Calden, after using spectacles
for 25 years, followed this plan, and at
the age of 10 recovered his sight so as
to see without them. Dipping the crown
of the head into cold water, every morn
ing, both winter and summer, is pre-
servation against the head and ear ache,
and will materially assist the other oper-
alton, in its effect upon the eyes,

the less difficult to bear than it is untried

"The cause of corns and likewise Of
torture they occasion, is simple friction !,
you have only to use your toe as you do
in like circumstances your coaehwheel-
lubricate it with some oily substance
The best and cleane>t thing to use is
little sweet oil, rubbed on the affected
part (after the corn is carefully parody
with the finger, which should be done on
getting up in the morning, and just before
stepping into bed at night. In few days
the pain will diminish, and in few days
it will cease, when the nightly application
may be discontinued.

The Merry Days Of Youth.

BY C. L. BANKS.
Oh, merry is the sunshine,
And merry is the spring,
And merry is the wild bee,
Forever on the wing
But, ah of Natures mirthfulness,
For perfect JOY and truth,
There's nothing half so merry
As the merry days of youth.
There's freedom in the soul
When the life is green and young,
There's rapture in the heart, too,
And music on the tongue;
At every step the light foot falls
On groupes of thornless flowers,
And hope, fairy, dances,
To beguile the pleasant hours.
The merry days Of youth,
Too soon do they depart,
BY worldly care and sorrow chased
From the impulsive heart;
Yet still will linger in the mind
The seeds Of love and truth,
Which the spirit saved and gathered
In the merry days of youth.

@ THE Woodstock american furnishes
an interesting notice of an experiment
made by DR.. Caldwell, in Canada, few
days ago. Our contemporary says that
blind girl named Sarah Hamley, of the
township of Malahide, restored to sight
almost instantaneously, and then goes on
to remark:
1t seems she was born perfectly blind,
and is now twenty-one years of age
During this long time of course she had
not the slightest comprehensions of the
appearance of any object more than the
could acquire from the sense of touch.--
1t is little wonder therefore that her feel
ings were excited when she first beheld
the light of the sun and the appearances
of all the things around her. Our con-
temporary says-'To describe the sensa-
tions of the young lady when the first
welcome ray of light entered her hitherto
sightless orbs, would be beyond our pow
er. In an instant. as if by magic, the
idea of material things which she had
cherished for SO many years, through the
sense of feeling, were entombed in memo
ry. A new and bright world, full of light
and life-full of wonder and admiration
terrible, because hitherto unknown in
its realized beauty and grandeur arose
before her. She looked and trembled;
she shook from head to foot, like an aspen
leaf; and unable to utter a word, she
gazed in wild astonishment on the scene
before her.
When her emotion had somewhat sub
sided, Dr. Caldwell inquired if she saw
him, eyes," said she, "I see you. Oh,
how white you look" Subsequently she
noticed pair of brass candlesticks in the
room, and inquired what they were. On
being informed she was incredulous The
ideas which she had formed of a candle
stick were far different from those which
her newborn sight conveyed. The can
dlesticks were brought to her, she hand
led them and exclaimed. "Oh, yes, they
are candlesticks; how bright they look
DR.. Caldwell showed her his gold watch,
and inquired if she knew what it was.--
She answered in the negative, and on
being informed she said. "What queer
thing it is; both sides are not alike."--
We may add that the young lady's sight
is daily improving in strength, and that
she returned to her house in Malahide a
few days since, rejoicing in the light of
life.

R@- Two live mice, says the Lowell
Courier, lately came through the mail, en-
closed in a sealed letter from North Bill
lerlca, to gentleman in the city. They
were delivered in good order and well
conditioned" and are doing well. This
can hardly be considered as coming
within the post Office law defining "maila-
bic matter" 1t is what printers would
call Give matter" If the secret agents
of the department go to maoas-ing into
this case, the post masters will probably
be subjected to categorical examination
which must greatly a-nSetcs the public.

The following experiment in fattenina
hogs with ground and ungrOa7zd corn,
would seem-as far as solitary expert
mcnt can,-to settle the question Of e10a-
omy as to the best mode of feeding hogs.
1t is an extract from communication in
the Patent Office Report for lS50-'5l, by
Mr.. j. L. Dodge, of Potosi, Grant county,
Wisconsin. He says =
ain October last, selected from my
stock two pigs, Of the same size, and ap-
parendy, alike thrifty; one, however,
weighed 26O lbs, the other 247 lbs. In
mediately after being weighed they were
put in apartments of the same house, kept
dry and warm, fed with great care for 40
days then they were again weighed and
slaughtered. The heaviest was fed with
corn meal, mixed stiff with cold water; the
other with SJtelled corn, with pure water
for drink The one fed with meal con-
sumed 425 lbs and gained 63 lbs, live
weight; the pork after dressing, was 297
lbs The other ate sos lbs. of earn, and
and was found to have gained 33 lbs. live
weight; his pork weight being 23I lbs
BY subtracting the pork weight from the
live weight, the amount of offal is ascer-
tanned, which in the experiment, proved
fraction less than oneGth Of the live
weight IfOne-ffth be deducted from the
amount each pig gained, we have the true
gain, in pork weight, produced, which
was 68 pounds for every 65 lbs. Of meal,
and pounds for every So lbs of cO,7s."
"The pigs were cross between the
Byefeld and Berkshire, the best and most
profitable breeds. The corn, yellow-dust,
or Cleaveland, variety held in great es-
teem"

Scene i'm Court.

! A trial for murder In the first degree,
or as sporting men call it, race for life
and death, came off a short time ago; with
in less than hundred miles of civiliza-
ton.
The accused was a big negro, shining
black, with hair as stiff and coarse as the
teeth of carding machine.
Clerk. Prisoner look upon the juror
juror look upon the prisoner, Do you

Counsel for the prisoner. Not peremp-
torily.
Clerk. Have you formed or expressed
an opinion with regard to the guilt or in

Juror. Why what question. How

Clerk repeats the question.
Juror. Why I never seen him before.
Clerk answer the question, yes or no.
Juror No stree.

Clerk. Have you! any conscientious
scruples !
Juror. | have a few left.
Clerk. | mean about inficting capital

Juror. None whatever, l do assure
you.
This emphatic declaration brought the
prisoners counsel to his feet, who was
going to argue that the manner in which
the Jurors last answer was given, was a
good cause for challenge, but was stop
ped by the Court
Clerk, Are you akin to the prisoner? !?
Juror. What?
Clerk repeats the question.
Are you akin to the prisoner!
Juror. Who do you take me for!
Clerk. Are you akin to the prisoner :?
Juror. Your face is blacler on Sun
days than mine is on week days, and
your hair is wool. Are you akin to the
prisoner
Clerk, Answer the question.
Juror Akin to the devil. my family
are respectable white people.
Here the cloudy brow of the court in
dicated that the conference should be cut
short, anG the prisoners counsel boding no
good from the jurors contemptuos opin-
ion of his client, challenged the juror for
cause; namely, an opinion expressed.
Juror continues. What, l am insulted
by that blackguard clerk, and now one of
his hired bullies has challenged me; no,
I'll fight his clerk first, and his bully af-
Court to Juror. Sir you are challen-
ged, you may retire.
Juror. I never turned my back on
friend or foe-Ill not retire.
Court. Sir, you are committed for
twenty-four hours for contempt of court,
Sheriff, take him into custody.
Here the sheriff, who was resolute
good-natured man, walked off arm in arm
with the prisoner.
Juror. Why, sheriff, l voted for you,
what are you about!
Sheriff. Oh nothing, you can eat with
with me and sleep in my room.
