THE ~DRUNKARD'S CHILD.
By MRS. A. ARRoLD.
You say the Temperance field is one,
Where mar aloe should stand
That Temperance weapons were not formed
For woman's heart or hand;
You ask me why | cannot speak
OF rum in accents mild
Then learn the cause, I've felt the curse,
! am a drunkards child.
Long years ago my father slept,
Beneath the burial sod
NV mothers grief-wOrn spirit passed,
Long since to rest with God;
Yet | remember well the power,
That crushed her to the tomb,
The power that clothed my ~childhood's hours
La m~idnight's rayless gloom
Scarce FIVE bright summer years had flown,
Above my childish head,
Before | roamed an orphan girl,
My parents with the dead;
Three fair-browed sisters gathered round.
With a brother we'll beloved,
And hand in hand, though stricken sore,
For two short years we moved.
Cur brother died--a fathers hand,
In childhood dealt the blow
Which paled the fair ~consumptive check,
And laid our idol low.
Then came deep sorrow-one by one,
My sisters sought the tomb,
Till ore one-half score years had passed, .
/ stood alone, alone.
The home that should have sheltered me-,
Had passed to other hands,
A vile rumseller drove me from
Nv fathers house and lands
Then strangers gave the homeless one
A place beside their hearth
But all she was a drunkard's child,
Why numbered she the earth?
My fathers sins were visited
Upon my g~uiltless head,
Until my only prayer became,
TO sleep among the dead
And even one, who bids me speak
OF rum, in accents mild,
Then spurned me from her path, because
| was q d%runkard's child.
And thus, through girlhood's years I met
A cold worlds cruel scorn,
Till it left a cloud upon my brow,
And in my heart a thorn.
Those years are past, yet memory lives,
A deeply bitter wave,
And till the d~runkard's child forgets,
Shell lift her voice to save.

A RAD MAN GONE.

The chamber in which the good man meets
his fate, is said to be infinitely blessed; what
then can be said of the room where bad, bru-
tai man grapples with death Ia man not made
bad by want, and the temptation which it brings,
but by unlimited power! Haynau is dead
Grey-haired and infamous, and with sixty-seven
wears of life darkening about him, with the rec
ords of hesrtless cruelty, Haynau, the despots
hangman, the woman-whipper, has gone down
TO death. He died lately at Vienna. "Speak
no i'll of the dead!" Alas What good can be
said of Haynau? What can be said of him,
save that he added another word, to all known
language: that henceforth cruelty the basest
murder the most remorseless, will be expressed
by the two syllables-Haynau. The vices of a
man whose life is private may be forgotten at
his grave. But the vices of an epauetted fiend,
like Haynau, done in public, in view of all the
nations, cannot be covered up by any grave,
however deep Behind all his titles, and militia
nv tinsel, behind the rewards which his imperial
employer gave him, the world sees not Haynau
the titled, the rich and favored, but Haynau the
butcher of his felow.men. He was born of that
miserable house of Hesse, which in l776, made
the Teutonic name infamous, by selling German
men to Great Britain ut so much per head. He
was an iegtimate off-shoot of that wretched
house. Ascending through the various grades
of the Austrian service he was, in lS4S, one of
the most Industrious of all the uniformed as
sassins whom Austria employed to kill Italian
liberty. Then, ripe for murder on large scale,
he was transferred to Hungary. He was in at
the DEATH He built scaffolds He whipped
women. He converted every town into which
he set his foot into human ughter-house.-
He proved, in word, the force of the truth, that
while military man, fighting for the right, is a
brave and true man, military man, fighting for
the wrong, is tyrant and a butcher. His brave
deeds 10 Italy and Hungary being DONE he came
to Vienna and the Austrian Nero crowned him
with all the honors at his command. Nero with
out beard, took Nero with grey hairs by the
hand, and, in effect, with horrible mockery OF
Scripture, said, swell done, thou good and faith
tul servant !"
After this, the wretched man went to London
Paris-made melancholy pilgrimage over Eu-
rope hearing, wherever he went, the wold's
whispered horror at the sight of him. "There
goes Haynau" was never said without a shud
der. And, at last, he went home to Vienna to
die.
God be merciful to him! We only notice
this bad man to show how atrocious is the Aus
tran tyranny, which he was only the too faith
full instrument. He is dead, but Austria ye
lives, the horror and the loathing Of all Chris
tian men-the Haynau of the Nations.

OAKLAND AND OTTAWA RAILRoAD-We clip
the following from late number of the Miwau-
kee Ne,os:
ave learn that the Company having this road
in charge have commenced the survey of the
route, and that arrangements are being made to
prosecute the construction of it at an early Pc
Rod. Hon. A. II. Hanscom, of Michigan, recent
ly visited the capital and other portions of this
State, with view to ascertain the bearing which
the construction of the various contemplated
lines of railroads i'm this State would have upon
the Oakland and Ottawa road. He found our
citizens wide awake TO the Importance of a more
direct communication with the east than what is
now afforded by going around the lake.
{" 1t is believed that the Oakland and Ottawa
road will be completed within two years. By
that time undoubtedly the railroads terminating
at Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and Sheboygan,
will have penetrated far into the interior of our
own State, and must necessarily become auxilia-
ries to this line across the Peninsula State. The
people of this State cannot view the progress of
this work with feelings of indifference"

The plate in the cabin of the steamer "Victo-
ria" wrecked near Howth on the coast of Ire
land, has been recovered by a diver; but the
man protests that nothing in the world would
induce him to 90 down second time, as the
scene in the cabin was the most horrible he ev-
er witnessed. He thought he had entered wax
work exhibition, the corpses never having NOV
ed from their positions since the vessel went
down. There were some eighteen or twenty
persons in the cabin, one and all of whom SEEM
ed to be holding conversation with each other;
and the general appearance of the whole scene
was so life-ke, that he was almost inclined to
believe that some were yet living.

THE PoTATo RoT.-H. Penoyer, of Union Co.
Illinois, writes to the ST. Louis Republican that
he has found perfect cure and preventive of
the potato rot, and which also "restores the po-
tatoe to its primitive vgor, and the product is
not only sound, but double the size, consequent
ly producing twice the quantity on the same
ground, and the vines grow much larger, and re-
tain their freshness and vitality, until the frost
kills them" The remedy, according to Mr..
Penoyer, is as follows:
stake one peck of fine salt and mix it thor
oughly with half bushe Nova Scotia plaster or
gypsum, (he plaster is the best,) and immedi-
ately after hoeing the potatoes the second time,
or just as the young potato begins to set sprin.
kle on the main vines next to the ground, ia
BILE spoonful of mixture to each hill, and be sure
to get it on the main vines, as il is found that
the rot proceeds from sting of an insect in the
vine, and the mixture coming in contact with
the vine, kills the effect of it, before i. reaches
the potato"
