= N1aar An IAN extraordinary falIg
lacy is the dread Of night air. What
air can we breathe at-night but night
air The choice is between pure night
air from without, andslfoul night air
from Within Most people prefer the
latter. An unaccountable- choice. -
What will they say if it is proved to be
true that fully one half of all the dis
ease we suffer from is occasioned by
people sleeping with their windows
shut !? An open window most nights
in the year can never hurt any one
This is not to say that light is not nee
essary for recovery. In great cities
night air IS often the best and purest
air to be had in the twenty-fo four hours.
I could better understand shutting the
windows in GOWNS, during the day, than
during the night, for the sake of the
sick. The absence Of smoke, the quiet,
all tend 10 make night the best time for
airing the patient. One. of our highest
medical authorities on consumption and
climate, has told me that the air in
London is never so good as after ten
O'Clock at night. Always air you room
then, from the outside air, if possible.
Windows are made to open, doors are
made to shut truth which seems ex-
tremely difficult of apprehension. Every
room must be aired from without 80
every passage from within. 4, But the
fewer passages there are in q hospital
the better Florence Nightingale.

RETURNED AFTER "A CAPTIVITY OF
THIRTEEN YEARS, MIR. George Bruba-
ker, a citizen Of Lancaster county, Pa,
reached st Joseph, Mo. J a few days
ago, on his way home. He was cap
tured by q band Of Camanches while On
his way to California in 1847, thirteen
years ago, and has just escaped from
them. There were but three of the
party captured alive, George Richard
son, Of Schuylkill, and Peter DENY, Of
Dauphin county, Pa, both Of whom
were afterwards burnt at the stake for
attempting to escape from the savages.
After becoming acquainted with the
language and habits Of the Indians, he
was made q medicine man, and in that
capacity did great deal of good among
them preaching to them, and succeeded
in converting over two hundred to the
Christian religion. It was only after
the most solemn promises that he would
return that they allowed him to .depart,
and he will go back as soon as he has
seen his family, who have mourned him
for years as dead.

thousand times, or at least till what We
say has some effect upon our country
men, that pound Of lean, tender. juicy
mutton can be produced for half the
cost Of the same quantity of fat pork !;
that it is infinitely healthier food, espe-
cially in the summer season, and those
who eat it become more muscular, and
can DO more work with greater ease to
themselves than those Who eat fat pork.
We know nothing more delicious than
smoked mutton hams, of the Southern
breeds of sheep. Venison itself is not
superior. -.anserscas .4grscultuyalsst. !

HAY MAKINa.-As The season ia

' HAY MAKING. As the season for
making hay is approaching, we will
give few words. of caution in ad-
vance. Don't dry your hay too mach.
Hay may be dried till it is as worthless
as straw. % As q good coffee maker
would say, "Don't burn your coffee, but
brown it )" 50 we say, don't dry your
hay, but cure it. Our good old moth
ers, who relied upon herb tea instead of
"'potecary incidence gathered their
herbs when in blossom, and cured them
in the shade. This is the philosophy
Of making good hay. Cut in the Bios
som, and cure in the shade. The sugar
Of the plant, when it is in bloom, is in
the stalk ready to form the seeds. If
the plant is cut earlier, the sugar is not
there; if later, the sugar has become
converted to woody matter. - "
Hay should be we'll wilted in the sun,
but cured in the cock. Better to be q
little too green than too dry. If, on
putting it into the barn, there is danger
Of cheating in the now put on some
salt. Cattle will like it none the less.
Heat, light, and'dry winds will soon
take the starch and sugar, which con-
stitute the goodness Of hay, out of it !;
and, with the addition Of q shower,
render it almost worthless. Grass cured
with the least exposure to the dry winds
and searching sunshine, IS more nutri.
cious than if longer exposed, however
good the weather may be. If ever cured,
it contains more woody fiber and less
nutritive matter. ...--S 4 -. -.' -,
The true art Of hay-making, then
consists in cutting the grass when the
starch and sugar arc most fully devel-
oped, and before they are converted
into seed and woody fiber; and curing
it up to the point when it will answer
to put it in the barn without heating
and no MORE Ohio Farmer.

3 THIS IS THE ROAD TO HELL.-This
terribly suggestive expression was used
the other day by one Of the prisoners
now under sen; ence of death in cur
county jail. The occasion Of its utter
ance was as follows: sz
"A party went to visit the prisoners in
Jail. One of the condemned recognized
one of the visitors as former resident
Of the same town in Ohio His Wild
owed mother lives there still, and some
of his sisters. The visitor asked him if
his mother knew, of his situation. He
replied that size does and that he had
received a letter from her but q few
days previously. Immediately u on
this allusion to his mother, his mind
seemed. to wander back to the scenes of
his youth, and the home Of his early
affections, and his face gave evidence
of an intense and understandable anguish
Of heart, so painful and terrible that he
was pitiable to look upon. He burst
into tears and add. essing the visitor in
question, who was a lady, he exclaimed:
'sOh, Mrs. little did l think
when l saw you in Ohio that / would
ever come to such condition as this.
Little did I think I would ever come to
such dishonorable death as I am
doomed to die, and break the heart Of
my poor old mother, and disgrace all
my relations. Oh, my God my heart
willaburst.l ] never killed Wood, but 1
was drunk and I was present at his
murder. Had I not been drunk I would
never have been there It is whisky
that has ruined me- Whisky led. me
to bad company, and it is whisky that
has brought me to the gallows. The
Of the whisky shops first
led me astray. Yes, Mrs. , the
whisky shop has been to me the road
to Hell, and now, if / was able, l would
have printed over the door of every
whisky shop in Dubuque and every
where else, in big letters that every
body could see, these words of truth,
ssTHIs Is THE Road TO HELL. - 's
Here the poor fellows head sank
upon his hands, and his agony seemed
terrible. He doubtless felt the truth
and force Of what he said, and oil who
saw him pitied him. As the word of
> doomed and dying man, his forcible
and agonized remarks made o deep
on all who heard him.
