DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.

Some years ago during a coffee specu-
lation in Boston, when everybody was
holding on, waiting for the Article to adj
vance, an old merchant keen as razor,
whose store was packed from the first
floor to the fourth with prime green Rio,
concluded from signs he well understood,
that prices had reached their acme. He
was too old a hand at the bellows not to
know, that the moment he, with his inn
mense stock, began to sell, an alarm would
be taken and down would go the prices.
Quietly sending off a pretty stiff invoice
OF the article to auction, and giving the
auctioneer good-humored h int to mind
his own business, he attended the sale and
bid readily at prevailing prices for coffee.
Other holders, that knew he had twice as
much on hand as they had, concluded it
was safe to buy when he did, and so
stood up manfully and bought. While
| old Mrs carmen were tumbling
his purchases in at the front door of b .
warehouse, five times as many were car
rying away coffee from the back door.
On the next day of sale he bid as freely
as ever, and this continued two or three
weeks. One day be failed to appear at
a coffee sale. and most Of the dealers be-
came alarmed, and prices declined little.
During the afternoon a pretty large hol-
der, who was always ready to buy when
be saw willing, met him in the
street and asked the price of coffee.

day." replied the old fellow, as cool and
pleasant as an ice cream.

"Why, we shall all be ruined, if prices

with an unmoved countenance.

of U.S."

The next day the bubble burst, and

The HOUSE AND FARM.
Remedy for Bots in Horses.

For many years past, I have used a
simple remedy for bots and am almost
disposed to call it an infallible remedy
sure enough. But | can say with truth
that l have never known it to fail, if adj
mlnistered at the commencement of the
attack. Drench freely with sweet milk
and molasses (sugar or honey will do,)
well shaken together. Continue it, bot
tie every fifteen or twenty minutes, ac-
cordlng to the severity of the attack, until
the animal becomes easy; then give
quart bottleful Of strong salt and water,
soon after with quart bottleful of castor
oil. Its worse than idle to give anything
with the view of killing the bots in a horse.
The only plan is to convey them off; a
sweet drench is the thing, they seize upon
it with avidity, and in little while kill
themselves, increasing at least one-third
IN size. In salt and water they will lie
perfectly dormant for days together hence
the advantage of its preceding the oil.
| Whenever the bots stack horse they
will always be found at the neck of the
throat, where sweet drench is thrown
immediately among them the moment it
is swallowed by the horse. 1t is great
mistake to suppose that they are hid in
some secret recess where medicine cannot
reach them, and quite as great one to
suppose that sweet drench will not divert
their attention from the horse.-Southern
| Calttvator.

sT WE clip from an exchange the following
heart-rending description of the parting scene
between two "luyyers,.' 1t is almost equal to
the tomb scene in Romeo and Juliet" where
the latter lays herselfom so to please her idol /:
The time of parting had arrived, and as the
hour drew nigh,
Fair Julia sat with saddened look tear all in
her eye,
And jeremiah filed with grief, with dropping
aspect sat-
Upon his brow cloud of gloom and over this
his hat.
Oh, jeremiah, must we part ?" then loudly
cried the maid,
Why, yes, l rayther think we must" the ten
der lover said.
She rose abruptly to her feet, her face arraved
with charms
Then threw her whole two hundred pounds in
Jeremiah's arms.
She wildly clasped him round the neck, and
kissed his ruby lips.
With kisses sweet as honey tew the bee. the
glutton sips,
And as she kissed him once again, the while
her passion rose,
She tainted fell upon the floor and spilled her
Sunday clothes.

SOMEBODY.

Somebody's counting somebody,
Somewhere or other, tonight,
Somebody's whispering to somebody,
Eomebody's list ming to somebody,
Under this clear moonlight.
Near the bright rivers flow,
Running so still and slow,
Talking SO soft and low,
She sits with somebody,
Pacing the oceans shore,
Edged by the foaning roar,
Words, never breathsd before,
Sound sweet to somebody.
Under the maple tree,
Deep though the shadows be,
Plain enough they can see
Bright eyes has somebody
No one sits up to wait,
Though she is out so late
All know she's at the gate
Talking with somebody.
Tip-toe to parlor door
Two shadows on the floor
Moonlight reveals no more
Susy and somebody.
Two. sitting side by side,
Float with the ebbing tide,
Thus, dearest. may we glide
Through life, says somebody.
Somewhere, somebody
Makes love to somebody,

We have now two contributors not excelIed
by any writers in the country, namely, Rev. F.
W. Shelton and Charles G. Leland. The first
known as our "Up-River Correspondent" has
written a series of Letters, a part of which have
been issued and extensively sold in beautiful
illustrated volume, and the latter is now writ
ing series Of Observations of Mace Sloper,
which delight all who read Them These will
be continued regularly, and Mr.. Shelton will
give Sketch or a Letter each month.
We have also several highly accomplished
Lady Contri butors, whose favors will grace our
pages regularly, and whose names we would
be glad to publish, if we were permitted to
do 30.
With these and other contributors, and the

gress of 1857, that "Slavery or involuntary ger
vitude shall never exist in territory now Free"

that Slavery shall be excluded ffon all Na-
tonal Territory, and that the influence Of the
General Government shall be exercised On the
side of Freedom.
