Open my bed door;
] heard her step as noiselessly
To my couch across the floor;
felt her hand my temples press,
Her lips just touching mine;
And in my anguish and distress
'Twcre sinful to repine.
Our pilgrimage is nearly through
We've passed lire's mountaln-btow;
thought | loved her years ugO-
know l love her now!
Her face was lowering over mine,
Her warm tears on my cheek;
Her Whispered prayer Of thought divine
Rose iervently and meek.
Her bosom rested on my arm,
felt lis tremulous throe;
knew the cause Of its alarm,
And FELT its source Of woe;
And then the blood my system through
Came pressing on my brow
thought loved her years ago
/ know | love her now!
Thus watched that tried and patient one
BY night as well as day,
In sadness and almost alone,
Till weeks had passed away.
Berelt of sleep, deprived Of rest
Oppressed--bOrne down with care,
Till, oh, her laborB huve been blest,
For God has heard her prayer!
Her cheek resumes lie wonted glow
And placid is her brow
thought loved her years ago

Raeots OF Oofee on piseaae.

DR.. Mosley observes, in his "Treatiso
on Coffee" that the great use of the ar
ticle in France is supposed to havo
abated the prevalence Of the gravel
In the French colonies, where the coffee
is more used than in the English, as
well as in Turkey, where it is the prin-
cipal beverage, not only the gravel but
the gout is scarcely known. Dr. Faur
relates, as an extraordinary instance Of
the effect of coffee on the gOut, the case
of Mr.. Deverau, who was attacked with
gOut at the age of twenty Ave, and had
it severely until he was upward of fifty,
with chalk stones in the joint of his
hands and feet; but for four years pre-
oeding the time when the account of bis
case had been given to Dr. Faur to lay
before the public, he had by advice used
coffee, and had no return Of the gout

Thrilling Incident

A clergyman in this city read a lettar
at one Of the SAMSON street noou-dav
prayer meetings last week, from a young
man of his acquaintance who was on
board the ill-fated Austria, in which he
detailed the last interview between him
self and Eve Christian comrades who
persisted beneath the waves. As soon
as the destruction of the vessel was
found inevitable, these six young men
took a position between the flames and
the water, with the understanding that
at the last moment they would unitedly
cOnsign themselves to the latter. In
the bare moment thus allowed to con
template their fate, their hope in Christ
vas constantly expressed and when TO-
escape the spreading Ere, their leap be-
came necessary heyfOndly grasped each
others hands, and with a parting "fare
well, and an expressed confidence that
in "a few moments they would meet ia
heaven" they sprang into the sea-
The writer Of the letter states that af

means of a life-PIeseEver for four hours
(during which time his contemplations
Of future state ripened into a Joy be-
ievlng in his Savior, such as he never

his release, so that just at the moment
when his exhausted energies brought

Tar a Preventive Of Hog Cholera.

Tar EroVenJiVe or hog Cholera.
MEssRs. EDIToBs.--The hog cholera
has made sad havoo among our hogs this
and the preceding year--somo farmers
losing nearly their cntire stock. No
cure has yet been found I believe, that
will cure after hogs have got IL once, or
ot least we do not know anything that
win. ] will give you what / consider q.
preventive, and pevention Is better
than cure. Ten OF twelve died for me
last summer aud fall, without anything
of the various remedies recommended
having the least effect on them ~
Through the winter only one died for
me. This summer more hogs have died
by far than any year in our neighbor-
hood while only one has died for me,
which commenced to vomit in the NOR
ming, and before noon was dead. After
that commenced feeding corn 10 tho
ear, we'll tarred to my hogs once a day,
and have done 30 ever since, except /
give them only once in two or three
days at present. Not one has had any
known symptoms Of cholera since; while.
my next neighbors have lost more than
half Of their entire stock
Is tar a preventive, or is it only luck
that my hogs have not had the cholera
since I commenced feeding tar2
Cor Country Gentleman.
We have reasons TO believe that tar
is not only preventive Of hog cholera,
but in cases, if properly administered,
it will prove a remedy.
Our friend, Dr. J. s, SeatOn, informs
US that he CuEed some cases by pouring
tar down the hogs throat after the dis
ease had made considerable progress and
he expresses great confidence in it as
remedy. From his experience We re
commend farmers to try it both as a
preventive aad rohedy.-T Louisville

Bayard Taylor.

The editor of the Plymouth In)
Locomotive, who was a printer in the
same Office whore Bayard Taylor served
his time, tells some interesting reminis-
cenCes Of the great traveller:
We had tho esteemed honor to sue
ceod him in our term of "devilship" in
the Village Record Office, Westchester,
Chester county, Pa. We well remem-
Der the time when he started out on his
first tramp" with his small satchel con-
tanning a change or two of linen, aud
with fifty cents as a capital The ap-
prentces in those days had to carry pa
pers through the country on horseback
und our route was just past his fathers
house. We do not know Of single
time that old Mr.. Taylor, through rain
or shine, did not meet us at the end Of
the lane with happy smile, wishing us
a good day, and as we would hand him
the weekly Record, he would remark,
"a fair exchange is no robbery" filling
our saddle bags with nice apples and
grapes. He was a member of the Socie-
ty of Friends. With his little farm and
family around him he was a happy man
indeed. He used to inquire anxiously
after Bayard, and said that-"He liked
to ramble around too much, he was not
steady enough"
Little he knew then that his son Bay
ard, the printers apprentice, would be
one day quoted as the greatest travelling
historian that America could boast Of

AN ANCIENT STEED.-The Royal
Morgan, well known as the Steele, OF
Cream horse, is thirty-seven years old,
He is owned by John Gregory, Of North
field, w., who has declared his inten-
ton, in the Stock Journal to exhibit
the veteran in harness at the State Fair,
to be held in Burlington next month.
He eats no hay, but subsists chiefly on
meal, oats, shorts, potatoes, &C., and ap-
pears in a thriving condition. His step
is still quick and nervous, and he trots
as square as ever. He will be quite a
curiosity, as he is the Oldest horse living.

Says Holmes, Chow many men live
on the reputation Of the reputation they
might have made" just so. We new
or knew drunken lawyer, doctor OF
any other professional man, even Of the
most ordinary talents and attainments,
whose habit Of drink did not actually
help him in business. People say Of
such men that "If Mr.. So-and-so would
only keep sober, he has one Of the finest
minds in the country" AS a general
thing this is all humbug.

New and Interesting and Sensible.

There is, perhaps, no more pcrplez-
ing situation for young man, and
modest withal, than that in which he
finds himself unable to determine
whether the "rosy young maiden" who
begins to appear to him in his dreams,
is already engaged, or occupies neutral
ground. The ladies have resorted to
various expedients, such as wearing a
ring on a particular finger, &C., to
make known to their friends and ao-
quaintances the important fact that
they are about to merge their indi-
viduality in that of some favored one
of the sterner sex; but these expe-
dients have not fully answered the
purpose, and it was necessary to de-
wise some new method. The world
moves; Atlantic cables are laid; Won
derful inventions crowd upon each
other with startling rapidity; the pow
er of the press is daily augmented,
and its uses widely extended; progress
is written on the hands of time, and
the following advertisement appears in
the st. Louis Republican:
t'ENGAGED.--Miss Anna Gould to
John Candal, City Marshal, both of
Leavenworth, X, 4.
"FrOm this time, henceforth and for
ever-until Miss Anna Gould becomes
a widow-all young gentlemen are re-
quested to withdraw their particular at
tentions."
