FILM ON AHoRsE's EYE.-The n. E. Farm
err gives the following receipt for curing film
on the eye of horse:
Take Of white vitriol and rock alum one
part, pulverize finely, and add clear spring wa
ter. With finely pointed camers hair pencil,
or soft feather, insert a single drop Of this So
luton into the diseased eye every night and
morning, and in a week the film usually disap-
pears, and the eye becomes bright, sound, and
healthy. In some cases, pulverized loaf sugar
blown into the eyes through quill will prove
a remedy. Powdered glass should never be
used in such cases. although recommended by
some, as it is much more likely to produce in
furious effects, than to cure them"

The People.

BY MRS o. A. s. BEALE.
Never people spake
As now, our own speak from the inner soul!
For while the thunders Of the battle roll
And ranks heroic break
And brave ones, dear ones, drop along the way;
And wondering nations say
Enough. o. stay the sweeping tide of blood"
Fearless, they shout-"Press on, and trust in God"
Press on! Our country cries
From her deep wounded heart, to all her sons
Fill up my ranks! avenge my slaughtered ones"
And 10! the answer flies
"We'n stand, undaunted, where our brothers fell;
And coming years shall tell,
How, for each brave that persisted by the foe,
A brothers hand hath dealt TIL avenging blow"
Up, freemen! yet again!
Grid on your strength and hasten to the fight!
It's for the liberty-the life and right,
OF dear Columbia's men,
Her women and her babes-her pen and sword;
Her truth-her plighted wordl
Up, freemen then, let this your watchword be-
Braveiy to die-or living, to be FREE!

and rushed with the conductor to learn what
imminent danger had been averted by the
thoughtfulness of the countryman.
Slowly the countryman placed his hat on

In one minute more the train was tearing
