NJ. Kossuth at Louisville, Ken lucky.


Louisville has added feather to her cap by the man
in which she has received and treated Kossuth The
movements here in strong contrast with what
done in every other large city where he visited During
his stay here there but little excitement and
no crowd around the hotel where he stopped lie re-
ceivod calls from societies associations the clergy
the press and had no formal speeches to make in reply
to unmeaning compliments substantial presents
The check that Kossuth received in Louisville will not
be without its eff ct elsewhere citizens have shown
that they believed Washington bctteSriend to tho
American people than the great Hungarian propasandst
and itinerant and that people do not need the
vices of men bred in the atmosphere Of monarchy to
teach them the higher branches of republican education
The gathering at the Court House Saturday night
not large had anticipated there not be-
ing exceeding five hundred persons present one-fth of
whom were ladies lie read his speech in clear loud
voice. without much energy and animation, and for
foreigner he spoke our language very well His speech
seemed to produce but little sensation lie applaud

hEcIrE EoR CURINo SoREs.-A writer
IN the last number ofthe Genessee Farmer,
who signs himself ar. r." and dates at
Centre Lisle, gives the following recipe for
curing sores
Take two and half dracms of blue
yltriol, l,sfour drachms of alum, and six
drachms loafsugar or we will say, blue Wit
rlol the size of a walnut, alum size larg-
er, and sugar the size of hens egg. Pni-
verse and turn into glass bottle. Add
one pint of good vinegar, and one table
spoonful of fhoney. Cork, and shake up
the mixture three or four times a day /:
and when desolved is fit for use.
This wash will remove film from horses
eyes will cure kings evil, and most kinds
offever sores; will destroy proud flesh
and cause the sore to heal. 1t is great
for hoof rot in sheep, and may be applied
to any sore with safety. The sore should
be kept clean, and washed twice a day
with the mixture, until it is completely
healed. For the eye it may be diluted
in soft water one-half but should in all ca.
ses, be used as strong as the patient can
bear. For hoofrot in sheep, add as much
gunpowder as vitriol; pare away all the
affected part of the hoof, wash freely eve.
ry few days, turn the sheep into fresh pa
ture, and you have n cure.

The Angel Of Sleep, and the Angel of
Death.

1t was the sweet hour of twilight when
these two messengers wandered forth into
the world and seated themselves on a green
bank, where they both sat silent for some
time; when they arose, the Angel of Death
entered n dwelling, and laid low ono of
its inmates. The Angel of Sleep scatter
ed his seeds over the earth, and in short
time its inhabitants were wrapped in slum-
Der.
When they had again seated them
selves on the bank, the Angel of Death
thus addressed the other:-"You Angel
of Sleep" said he, "Nppcar to be always
happy; yoa always meet with kind re-
ception, and well you may, for you bring
rest to the weary laborer, who, when al
most w'1n out with the toll and care Of
the day, halls the return of night, when
you will bring rest TO his weary limbs, and
all nature seems to rejoice at your COM
ing"
Why is it so, when almost every one,
especially the young and gay, appear to
tremble ut my touch, and when enter a
dwelling, its inmates look pale, and almost
heart-broken, when they think that am
come to bear away one of their number
Now, my friend, I wish you would tell me
why it is, since we both enjoy one home,
and both serve one master.
After he had finished, tho Angel Of
Sleep thus replied-"People may bless me
as friend, which it is true, am now.-
AS you said, bring rest to the weary,
and cause each TO sleep in the hours OF
night, but if they live as they ought,
when their work is done here, and YOU
approach them, they will perhaps forget
me, or think of you as a greater friend
than ever | have been on cath. Then they
will think Of God as kind master in
sending you to welcome them from this
world of sin and sorrow.
1t is true, Icause them to rest for short
season, but then they awake to scenes Of
care, but when you call them to rest, tliey
rest forever. You cause them to sleep n
sleep from which they never will awake
in this world."-OiiVe Branch.

Chloroform--A Remedy for Bots or
Grubs.

MEssRs. EDToRs.-Many experiments
have been made upon the Grubs after be.

order to discover what medicine (Which

ment was fruitless, until recently; fos il
was found they would i've for weeks in
any medicine that could be administered
to the horse, At the request Of friend
who had just lost fins brood mare, un.
dertook once more the oft-repeated exper-
iment. The result was perfectly sa.isfac-
tory. He sent me portion of Gruls TAX

they died instantly. l next poured q
few drops of the medicine on one or two;
they writhed time or two, and died; and
hnally dropped one and sometimes two
drops, on those not used in the other ex-
periments, and every one to which it was
applied, died.
L communicated the result of the ey-
periments to farricr in the neighborhood,
who acting upon my uggcstion, admins
tered one tablespoonful of Chloroform to
a horse showing all the well marked svmp-
toms of Grubs-relief was almost instan-
taneous. A few days afterwards he adj
ministered it again with like success, and
now in this neighborhood it is considered
the only sure remedy. 1t is certainly the
only rational one. 1t has been employed
frequently of late in this vicinity, and in
every case with complete success.
The way we administer it is as follows
viz: l or tablespoonsful Chloroform; 9
to pint Whisky; mix, shake and give n,
drench. Horses that have refused nj
food; that have appeared in constant pain
tor two or three days, have taken this
trench and relief followed in ten to fifteen
minutes.

this amount saved, but the pleasure OF
getting around the yards and barns is
greatly facilitated, and greatly to his ad-
vantage. Examine his fences, you find no
rails or boards missing-all is snug and in
order. His cattle and sheep arc in their
places, not troubling their neighbors. Ask

would like to renew his subscription for
another year. Ask him if he could get
along without it, and he will tell you per-
haps he could, but he would not so long MS
he could obtain one for so triaing a sum.
This is the scientific farmer.
Now let us view the premises Of farmer
Slack, and mark the difference. His barns
speak out-they want now and then a
board, (aia osener nor than then, TO keep
the contents from the SHOWS and storms of
winter. His yards show the effect Of easy
habits-too much that is valuable going
to waste. His fences denote the same
want Of care anl attention. In some
places only the traces Of fence are visi-
bic, so that with the utmost ease. his COWS
can go from field to field, or his ncighbors'
cattle partake Of the herbage his own so
much require, judging from their appear

They tell me you do not wish to marry,
That you're content to dwell alone,
That with sweet woman you'll not tarry
But marrying eternally postpone.
The thought is rash; oh ponder well,
you should thus decide;
The future no one can foretell,
And may be thus you'll not abide.
Your heart is nH so icy cold,
But some impression may be made:
Woman though neither bought or sold,
Needs supPorter-Deeds his aid.
With her you'll then see happy days,
Nor care or sorrow ere intrude:
Pleasures of love will strew your ways,
And with new life you'll be cndued.
Will you recall this rash resolve,
And seok some womans love to gain
When 80 much does the case involve,
Think you your efforts win be in vain
Some happy maid will stop your grief
And woman's love you'll find is true;
Tormented not with blank or brief
You'll then find joys in children too.
