The Rumseller's Banquet.

BY MRS. IL. e. DAY.
Come gather, now gather around the rich board,
The wine.cup flows ffeely,-were all natures lords =
Mind not the low wall that comes up from the STALL
The moan of the drunkard whose cup is his all.
Come gather, come gather the free and the brave,
Who deem it a thradom, the pow'r that would save,
Who lear not the king of the arch Fiend below,
Where, shOm Of all glory, the drunkards lie low.
Aye, gather, yes gather the young and the wild,
On whom the bright of the morning sweet smiled,
Ere they looked on the cup and saw their mad gain,
A brow wrapt in clouds and heart full Of pain.
Come gather, quick gather the rich and the true,
Who foot the black bills when the drunk ards get blue
For deprived Of such friends, ye might not get taste
Of the strong cheer Of lile without which twere a
waste.
Come bring to our banquet the widows pale SON.
We n feast on his blood ere his life is halfruu;
Dread not her deep when she takes her poor boy
Back, back to heart that s boreft of all joy.
Come gather, quick gather from out the eethOme,
The dearest, the noblest-and bid them now come,
damnH,
And hid meath our cloak the bloOd.red our hand.
But, prythee, don't gather the orphans we've clad
In rays and in mournugsuch hearts should be glad
For if they should come near wild revels heat,
The Goals u our furnace would scorch their bare feet
Nor bring the mad wife, with her hair streaming Wild
For sure she would say, you have robbed my poor
child
OF father Of mother, and all that was dear =
And this might dishearten the drunkards made here
Bot bring only those who can join our wild sOng'
Who reck not oflifs but will deathnotes prolong =
These gather, ye joviaIs, nor fear the dark pail
If we sleep the last sleep, well sleep one and all

The city Council of New Orleans,
as we learn from the Crescent. has
now before il a singular claim. Tor
an immense sum Of money, pre-
ferred by an old man named Monta-
que. The claimant was, many
years ago, a bird fancieT, and made
traffic of the featSered tribe by way
Of gaining a living. II happened
that something over quarter a
century ago the old gentIeman's
birds became obnoxious to a number
Of the police, as they hung dangling
in their cages over the sidewalk OF a
public street., which fact determined
a policeman to have them removed.
ln the process Of their removal, in
consequence OF rough handling or
foul play, two Of the birds suffered
death. Mr.. Montague Immediately
charged their value 10 the city (about
one dollar and fifty cents,) and sent
in his bill to the Common Council.
II was passed over without payment,
and after the next general election
for Aldermen the demand was re-
newed, with the addition OF the in
terest that had accrued from date.
The bill was treated with neglect as
before, and so on from year 20 year,
up 10 the present tine--an addition
OF compound interest being made TO
the demand at each successive pre-
sentation Of it. The claim is now
before the Board OF Aldermen, and
as the sturdy applicant has calcula~
ted the bill at compound interest, it
now amounts to about $3.50, 900!
Some waggish members OF The Coun-
ell have fed him with hopes that the
amount will be allowed. In that
event. he promises TO subscribe
$3.50, 1000 to the Opelousas Railroad,
and 10 divide $50,000 among the
members OF the two Boards, in a
bonus for their favor. The hope OF
getting the claim allowed is a mania
with the old chap, and he attends
every meeting of the Council in the
confident expectation OF realizing
the full fruilion of his golden dream.

TRADING WIVES interesting and
novel case came off last week before
Clark Miles. Esq, justice of the peace,
of which the following are the Particu-
lars:
Two men and their wives living in
the same house, across the river, by mu.
tuai consent, agreed to trade wives pro
temPOre. Title was conveyed, and pos
session delivered, and matters passed
along smoothly for two weeks, when
Mrs. -- preferring her old husband
10 her new one, wanted to trade back
but the other parties, satisfied with the
bargain, would not consent. whereupon
Mrs. entered complaint against
them. and upon examination they were
committed to the county Jail. The fun
niest Of the affair is. that the complain
ants were as guilty as those complained
Of. and they are permitted to go unpun-
ished while the others suffer.

NARROWING GRAIN.--A cores
pondent OF the Rural New Yorker
gives his views and practice in this
matter. as follows:
"The ordinary mode of sowing
grain is 10 sow it broadcast, after
the ground is properly plowed and
cultivated, to ply the harrow both
ways. Now, this l deem wrong;
and not only that but labor lost.
speak now more particularly OF
ground on which the drill is not
used. Where land is plowed for
grain--it matters not what kind-it
should be plowed in burrows as uni
form as possible; the grain sowed on;
and the harrow for cultivator if YOU
please) should then be thoroughly
applied lengthwise of the burrows.
By this mode, when sown, the grain
falls principally into the space be.
tween the burrows, and the harrow
breaking the ridges OF these burrows
both ways, covers the grain as deep
as a cultivator or drill. On land
which is Iiatle TO heave up by the
frost and rains Of spring, this should
more particularly be practiced. The
wheat comes up in rows almost as
regular as when drilled in. Ii is
thought by many that the harrow
will uncover more grain by cross
dragging than it will cover"

GENERAL RULE-Temperance,
cleanliness, and pure air are three Of
the surest means Of securing health,
and preventing the attacks Of fever
or any other disease.
/. Very often open the window oi
a room, and at the same time the
door. and let the airgo through
You should not sit in the draught, as
that is dangerous. The windows Of
common stairs and passages should
always be half open.
2. On getting up in the morning,
air the room well; let the draught OF
air pass through the beds and bed
ding for at least half an hour before
making up. Making up warm bed
will itself produce disease.
3. Never wear through the day
the garments you sleep in.
A. On getting up in the morning,
dip sponge or towel in cold water,
and wash the whole body, rubbing it
dry with a rough towel, or flesh
brush. II you do not like cold wa
ter, use warm at first. Accustom
your children 10 the cold water
sponge. They will soon come to
like il. and apply it themselves.
5. Sweep out your rooms, passa-
ges and stairs every day, AID wash
them once a week. Whitewash at
least twice in a year; the trouble and
expense are nothing compared with
the benefits arising therefrom.
6. Do not hang your clothes to dry
in the rooms yOn live in. Nothing
is more dangerous 10 health.
7. Use as much water in your
house as you possibly can; carrying it
is Iaborious, but yon will be repaid in
health and comfort.
s. Do not live on poor food that
you may save your money for drink.
9. Exercise yourself in The open
air, TO promote perspiration, but care
should be observed not TO get too
warm. Frequently exercise your
lungs.
10. When any contagious disease
is in your house, keep the rooms well
aired. Separate as much as possible
the healthy from the sick. Avoid
entering your neighbor's house. Do
not go to church nor send your chill
dren 10 school. You will thus pre-
vent the spread OF the disease.
III. When you are obliged to go
into house where there is a disease,
never 60 hungry, or when you are
warm. weak or fatigued. Avoid the
patients breath.
IL. Whether patient dies or re-
covers, be sure TO wash every article
of clothes or bedding he has used.--
Get a bottle OF chloride Of lime and
often sprinkle the floor with il.
