were the same as they are row, and the
same as will always exist:
the truth is, an editor cannot step
without treading on somebody's toes. If
he express bis opinions fearlessy and

Ii he states facts without comments, he

The Old Folks at Home.

The old man sat by the chimney side,
His face was wrinkled and wan:
And he leaned both hands or his stout oak
cane,
AS if all his work was done.
Ills coat was of good oid.fashioned gray,
The pockets were deep and wide,
Where his "specs" and his steel tobacco
Lay snugly side by side.
The old man likes to stir the fire,
So, near him the tongs he kept
Sometimes he mused as he gazed at the
Goals,
Sometimes he sat and slept.
What saw he in the cmbers there ?
All pictures Of other years
And now and then they wakencd smiles,
But oftener started tears.
Ills good wife sat on the other side,
In n high.back, fag.scat chair;
see meath the pile of her muslin cap
The sheen Of her silvery hair.
There's happy IooI on her aged face,
AS she buSliy knits for him
And Nellie takes up The stitches dropped,
For grandmother's eyes are dim.
There children come and read The news,
To pass The time each day;
How ii stirs The blood in the old mans
veins
TO hear of the world away.
'l'is homriy scene, told YOU so,
Ent pleasant it is 10 view;
AZ least lhuugnI it 80 myself,
And s@c'chct it down for you.
nc Kind unto the old, my friend,
TnrY'ir worn with lhis worlds strife,
Though bravcy once Pcrchaucc they fought
The stern, fierce battles of life.
They taught our youthful feet 10 climb
Upward iIc's rugged steep:
Thea let II, lead them g.ntly down

LANCASTER H. SOUTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCT 90 1855
a Poisoned Valley.

A singular discovery has lately been
made near Batten iu Java of poisoned
valley. Mr.. Alexander Loudon visited it
last July, and we extract paragraph
from communication on the subject ad
dressed by him to the Royal Geographic
cal Society:
1t S known by the name of Guevo
upas or Poisoned Valley and following
pata which has been made for the pur
pose, the party shortly reached it with a
couple of dogs and fowls, for the purpose
OF making experiments. On arriving at
the top of the mountain the party dis
mounted and scrambled up the side Of
the bill, at distance of a mile, with the
assistance of the branches and PROTECTING
roots. When at few wards from the
valley, a strong nauseous, sutfocatinp
smell was experienced; but on approach
ing the margin the inconvenience was no
longer found. The valley is about half a
mile in circumference, of An oval shape
and about thirty feet deep.
The bottom Of it appeared to be flat,
without any vegetation, and few large
stones scattered here and there. Skoe
tons OF human beings, tigers, bears, deer
and all sorts of birds and wild anima Is Law
about in profuslon. The ground on winch
they lay at the bottom of the valley ap-
peared to be hard sandy substance, and
no vapor was perceived. The sides were
covered with vegetation.
1t was proposed to enter it, and each OF
the party having lit a cigar, managed to
get within twenty feet of the bottom
where sickening nauscous smell was OK.
perlenced without any difficulty Of breath
ing. A dog was now fastened to the enc
OF bamboo and thrust to the bottom O
The valley, while some of the party with
their watches in their hands, observed the
effect.
Al the expiration of fourteen seconds
he tell of his legs, without moving or
looking around, and continued alive only
eighteen minutes. The other dog now
left tie company and went TO his compan.
ION. On reaching him he was observed
10 stand quite motionless, and at the end
OF Ten seconds fell down; he never moved
his limbs after, and lived only seven min
utes. A fowl WAS thrown in, and died in
minute and quarter. And another,
which was thrown in after, died in the
! space OF a minute and half.
A heavy shower 0. rain fell during the
lime that these experiments were poinp
forward, which, from the Interesting ma
ture OF the experiment, was quite disre.

er had bleached the bones as white as
IVORY. This was probably the remains OF
some wretched rebel, hunted toward the
valley, who had taken shelter there uncon

PoIsoN OF THE CoMMoN ToAD.-It is
an ancient and common opinion that toad
and salamanders possess subtle venom;
this, however, has been generally deemed
fabulous by those engaged in scientific
pursuits. NM. Gratioet and Cloes, in a
report to the French Academy, shsw that
there is in reality some foundation for
the common belief, and that toads and
salamandels do secrete deadly poison.
These gentlemen inpoculated small ami.
mals with the milky fluid contained in
the dorsal and parotid pustules of these
animals, and found it productive OF fatal
effects in a short space OF time. A turtle
dove slightly wounded in the wing and
inoculated with the liquor secreted by the
salamander, died in terrible commissions
in eight minutes. Five small birds inoc.
ulated with the lactescent humor of the
common toad, died in five or six seconds,
but without convulsions. The LIQUID Of
the pustle of the toad, even after being
dried, kills birds, though not with the
same rapidity as when fresh.
