We are a Broken Band.
Time was once when happiness
Did Ger our home preside,
When there was not an empty place
Around our hreside.
But Death, the destroyer, came;
And his unrelenting hand
Severed the band which bound US,
And made us broken band.
II was very hard to bid adieu,
To those loved ones so dear, .
And let them go to the esprit Land"
Aud leave US mourning here. ...
And now their earthly form
Lies low beneath the sod;
Their souls high up in heaven,
Rest with their maker, God.
Years have passed; but will not let
Their memory e'er depart
A thought of them, will linger still,
Entwined around the heart.

The English Corn Market.

A succession Of mysterious transactions
is attracting considerable attention in The
corn trade. Agents are employed BY an un.
known principle 10 purchase wheat and
flour in large quantities in the continental
markets, and To sell il at dend loss in the
English markets. The amount already
sacrificed By these transactions, which are
all conducted by cash payments, is esIima.
ted at no less sum than fl00,0O0. The
system commenced, as far as can be ascer.
tanned, about February last, and continued
till afler the harvest, when il ceased for a
short time. Lauerly it has recommended
and is al this time in full action. Upon a
careful consideration Of all tho circumstan.
ces, there appears to be no reason to doubt
lha, the objecl Of the unknown spendihrlt
is political one; and the fact that France
is the only country where none Of the pur.
chases are made, fixes suspicion on Louis
Napoleon, who has an evident interest in
keeping the price Of bread as low as possible
in the French markets. and who finds that
the facility Of gluung the English markets
with foreign grain enables him 10 attain that
object indirectly, with greater secrecy, and
at lesser cost, than by direct interference
with the corn trade in France itself.

Crops in Southwestern Ohio.

Our wheit harvest IS now over, and
many, very many have been disappointed.
Some found their wheat crop to be much
better than they expected; but many'fOund
it to be much worse. Hundreds4-yes
thousands of acres of the border counties,
was destroyed by fly, and rust. This was
the case particularly in this and the 'coun.
ties east Of this. Yet in some particular
neighborhoods wheat was ~good-very
good. On that part of the Little Miami
which runs through a part Of Highland,
Clinton, Clermont and Hamilton counties,
the wheat crop was at least a good aver
age. Taking Hamilton, Clcrmont, Brown,
Adams, Highland, and Clinton counties
together, the wheat, oats, and grass crop
will fall below an average. OF corn We
cannot yet speak with confidence, but the
prospect is rather unfavorable. 1t has
suffered very much from drought, especial
ly on the Ohio and Miami bottoms. The
rains q few days ago revived it very much,
but it is again suffering much in seine
places,
Fruit d Fall kinds is quite abundant in
most places. Though owing to the drought
some kinds will be rather Indifferent.
Truly yours, C****.

TO Cure Wounds In Fruit Trees.

The following directions were published
by William Forsyth, Kings Gardener. in
England, many years ago, and have often
been found valuable:--
"Takc one bushel of fresh COW dang,
half a bushel of lime rubbish from old
buildings, that from the ceiling Of rooms is
preferable, half a bushel of wood ashes,
and two quarts of fine sand, The three
last articles to be sifted fine, and then
mixed with the first, working them toge,
Their until the mixture is very smooth and
soft, like plaster"
The tree is to be prepared by carefully
removing all dccayed or injured portions
down to the sound, fresh wood, leaving
the surface smooth, and rounding off the
edge Of the bark very smooth. Alter this
the above plaster is to be spread very care.
fully and smoothly over the cut surface
and somewhat beyond. The plaster should
be FROM an eighth to half an inch thick,
and smoothly and thinly finished off at the
edges. After the plaster has been spread,
it should be busted over with a mixture Of
four parts Of dry ashes, to one part of fine
sand onc in twenty or thirty minutes,
until the moisture is also absorbed, and
there is a smooth dry surface.

YHE CROPS our WEST.

Having just made a tour through Lii
-nois, and parts Of Iowa and Missouri, ]
twill say a few words about the crops.
The wheaH harvest has commenced in
the eentral and southern parts Nf'lllinois
jahd Iowa, and is completed in Missouri,
and the universal testimony seems to be
that the crop is Of fair average character
both as to yield and quality. The amount
Of -wheat grown in these States-is not as
great asl had expected to see, aud-isquite
small, compared with the mott parts of
Ohio. In Northern-Illineis, and in the
river counties Of Iowa, Find that wheat
is not regarded as a veryreliable or prof.
table crop-hence most of the titled land
is devoted to corn, oats, rye and potatoes.
Much ufsthe land is TOO sandy and porous
for wheat.
'Cbrh everywhere promises fair, though
some fields, especially moist ground, arc
quite backward. The great (prSirie) corn
region of Illinois; through which I'have
just traversed, promises "a full yield of
thisgreat staple. There is also more old
corn still on hand here than / expected to
find.
Oats are a more important crop here
than IN Ohio, and although the straw'is
not large, thctheads are of full size and
will nc doubt yield 9. full crop.
Rye and Barley also are fair crops; aud
Potatoes look very pr~omising--late rains
havingimproved their looks wonderfully.

two acres were Sown with guano, about 80
lbs. to the acre; the remaining I of an
acre had no manure of any kind. We har.
vested and threshed in October and from
the two acres sowed with guano We had

Household Economy.

An experienced housekeeper. who has
had much occasion in former years TO re-
fer To L. NJ. Child's Frugal House wife,
as the hest work exiant on household econ.
omy, among a number Of failures in the
rules there given, has practically tested
utility Of The following, which have been
found valuable.
If You happen 10 live in a house which
has marble fire places, never wash them
with suds; this, in time destroys the polish.
They should be busted; the spots taken
off with a nice oiled cloth, and then rubbed
dry with a soft rag.
IL you wish 10 preserve fine teeth. al.
ways clean them thoroughly after you
have eaten your last meal at night. We
have preserved half decayed teeth many
years, BY washing them after every meal
and rubbing them once a day with fresh
charcoal from the fire.
About the Isl Of May or the first OF June,
the little milIers, which lay moth eggs, be.
gin TO appear. Therefore brush all your
woolens and pack them away in a dark
place, covered with linen. They should
be well wrapped in linen. This is easy
and very eficacious. The same book
recommends tobacco, as repulsive Of
moths-bul it failed entirely on trial. Sol
id camphor succeeded well.
If you have a strip Of land, do not
throw away suds. They are good ma.
nure for bushes and young plants.
Suet heeps good all the year round, If
chopped and packed down in a stone jar,
covered with molasses. Mince pie mea,
NAV be equally well il boiled, chopped.
and similarly packed.
Do not let knives be dropped in hot
dish water. Thousands Of dollars worth
Of kniVe- handles are spoiled every year,

S%traw-beds are much better for being
boxed at the sides, in lbe same manner up.
holsters prepare sticks for feathers. II
straw beds are stitched through like mat.
taesses they are greatly improved, and
need no stirring up.
