The Present.

Do not crouch to-day, and worship
The Old Past, whose life is fed.
Hush your voice to tender reverence;
Crown'd he lies, bnt cold and dead:
For the Present rcigns cur monarch,
With an added weight of hours,
Honour her, for she is mghtyi
Honour her, for she is ours
See the shadows of his heroes
Girt around her cloudy throne;
And each day the ranks are strengthened
BY great hearts TO him unknown;
Noble things the great Past promised,
Holy dreams, both strange and new;
But the Present shall fulfil them,
What he promised sl.e shall do.
She inherits all his treasures,
She is heir to all his fame,
And the light that lightens round her
Is the lustre of his name;
She is wise with all his wisdom,
Living on his grave she stands,
On her brow she bears his laurels,
And her harvests in her hands.
Coward, can she reign and conquer
If we thus her glory dim?
Let us fight for her as nohly
As our fathers fought for him.
God, who crowns the dying ages,
Bids her rule, and US obey
Bids us cast our lives before her,
With our loving hearts to-dayl

But sadly o'er my spirit fall
Its tender memories.

And hearts that know no guile,
Call me through the faded years,
Call me with tear and smile.

The dearest still to me,
But the poor oblation Of a tear

In fancy yet clasp the hands
Iclasped in other years,
But see them not see them not

SALADS AND SUHNER SouRs.-Phy siological re-
search establishes the fact that acids promote the
separation ofhe bile from the blood, which is then
passed from the system, thus preventing fevers,
the prevailing disease Of summer. Al fcvers arc
"bilious." that is, the bile Is in the blood
Whatever is antagonistic of fever is cooling. It
is a common saying that fruits are "cooling"
and also berries Of every description; it is be-
cause the acidty which they contain aids in sep
arating the bile fromthe blood. Hence the great
yearning for green's and lettuce, aud salads, in
the early spring, these being eaten with vinegar;
hence also. the taste for something sour. for lem
onades. on an attack Of fever. But this being the
case. it is easy to see that we nuify the good ef
fects of berries in proportion as eat them with
sugar, or even with sweet milk or cream. IL we
eat them in their natural state, fresh ripe, per
feet. Il is almost impossible to cat too many, or
eat enough to hurt us. especially if we eat them
alone, and not taking any liquid with them what
ever. Hence, also, is buttermilk, or even COM
mon milk promotive of health in summer time.
Sweet milk tends to biliousness in sedentary peo-
pie; sour milk is sntagonistic. The Greeks and
Turks are passionately fond Of milk The shep-
herds use rennet, and the milk dealers alum, to
make it sour the sooner Buttermilk acts Ike
wateTmelons on the system.-HalTs Journal of

The census takers occasionally find some

OF a lady - years old, who built 500 yards of
good rock fence within the last year, with her
own hands, and what is more she gathered and
carried in her arms all the materials of which
the fence is built This looks like hard yarn,
but its truth is attested BY numerous witnesses.

FORBIDDEN FRUlr-M Noel, a French agricul-

TO into France, says:
This vegetable was yiewedby the people with
extreme ulsnIvor when nrstmtrUduced, and many
eXpedents were adopted to induce them to use
it, but without success. In vain did Louis XVI.
wear its flowers in his buttonhole, and in vain
were samples Of the tubercle distributed among
the farmers; they gave them to their pigs, but
would not use it themselves. At last Parman-
tier, the chemist, who well knew the nutritiye
properties Of the potato and was most anxious
70 see it in general use hit upon the following in
geniousplan: ITeplanted good breadth ofpo-
tatocs at Sablons. close to Paris, aad paid great
attention to their cultivation When the roots
were nearly ripe he put notices around the field
that all persons who stole any Of the potatoes
would be prosecuted with tine utmost ricor Of
the laws, ard gendarmes were employed TO watch
the field day and night and arrest all trespasscrs
No sooner were the new roots thus forbidden as
It were by authority, than al persons seemed ca
ger to cat them, and in fortnight notwithstan-
ding the gendarmcs. the whole crop was stolen,
and without doubt eaten. The new vegetable,
having been found to be excellent food was soon
after cultivated in every part ofthc kingdom"

E@The Baltimore Patriot says It is now
an ascertained fact that the President and
his party will refuse to admit Kansas until
after the Presidential Election. Such, no
doubt, is the programme of the disunion-
lists TO admit Kansas before the election
would be to add three Republican Electoral
votes to those now certain, But the retu-
sal to admit Kansas will be understood by
the masses everywhere. If the Oligarchs
can make anything out of it before the
