Louis smiled.

and should do it again, if there were the same
temptation But of course that can never han

upon her face; "There are no more brides TO

two hundred crowns and if you ever see an
unfortunate wight in the position from which
you saved me, just lend him the money without

The peddler in a few years had prospered
SO well, that he was able to retire from his wan
dering lie. The former habitation of Louis
was still empty. He re.fitted it and offered its
rent free to his old friend, who had decided TO
be married and settle down quietly, as the

and prudence, are often enabled to do

The Riae QUESTION.

As the present War Greats an inter
est for nearly everything that is con-
nected directly or indirectly with the
struggle, our readers will pardon US
for the following article from cor
respondent of the Scientific american,
although it is a little out of the line
of agriculture.
The rife is pre- eminently the Amer
lean arm. To the skill and efficiency
of our forefathers in its use, more than
to any other means, are we indebted
for our success in the revolution
Who has not read of the marvellous
skill of Marion's men-it being as
serted that one Of them, mere lad of
IA, could invariably snuff candle at
100 yards off hand. Such skill in the
use of the rife was no exception, but
the general rule. The skill of Wes-
tern and southern men in its use has
long been prOverbial. Target shoot.
ing is one of the passtimes of those
regions as l can testify from long res
idedence there; and that together with
its constant use in hunting, is what has
given them their skill and proficiency
in the use Of the rifle. All that how
ever has been done with the old fash~
ioned muzzle loading rifles, of small
bore and range far inferior to the
improved rife of the present day
In the old portions of our country,
where game has become scarce, rife
shooting is now sadly efficient; the
only practice of that kind now pre-
vailing being mostly confined to what
are termed sporting men" who shoot
at targets with sporting rifles, often
with telescope sights, and almost all
ways at rest. By these means they
are enabled to make some very fine
shooting; but for practical purposes
such shooting is of very little account
Not one time in ten does man in hum
ting or fighting get a chance to shoot
at rest, and hence it is that those
fancy shots almost invariably fail in
bagging as much game as the rough
western hunter, when the two hunt to-
gether. To render shooting practical
" useful, man must be ready to fire
at moments warning, anywhere and
at any time. OF course, this necesi~
tates his shooting off~hand, which is
the only trme way to shoot for all
practical purposes. You doubtless
recollect the statement which went the
rounds of the press some time since,
about Queen Victoria hitting the bulls
eve, and how amused were al when
told that she did it by having the rife
screwed fast in wise, then standing at
distance, and pulling a string at
tached to the trigger! Now, shoot.
ing from a rest always partakes of
that character. ] cannot see in it any
great exhibition of skill. Of course,
if the range of the. rife is sufficient,
and the sighting accurate, and the gun
held or laid solid on the rest, the ball
viii hit the mark-proVided it is not
varied by the wind from its course !;
but what skill is there in that? ANY

AmerIcan SaltDeter.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
United States Gazette states that saitpe.
ter may be manufactured in the States Of
Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Ar
kansas, from the nitrous deposits col.
lecled in caves. The crude material Of
which It is made is a greasy, tough yell
ley clay, having a saline taste. The
caves in which it is found are very irreg-
ular, and those who gather the earth
carry torches to light up the rocky pas
sages. The best deposits are found ia
narrow crevices. and dry localities among
the rocks where there are strong cur-
rents Of air. There are also large banks
of carbonate Of lime deposits in these
caves which are entirely destitute Of
inter; it therefore requires considerable
practice In selecting the crude material.
There IS one establishment on the Waite
river, near Batesville, Ark, which was
erected by parties from New York, IN
whAh I 900 pounds'of saltpeter are stated
to be produced daily. During the Revo-
luton saltpeter was manufactured in con-
Siderable quantities al the Mammoth
Cave, in Kentucky. Most Of our salt
peter is obtained from the East Indies.
Nothing can convey more consolation
and support to a high-miHded, viFtuous
woman. in the midst Of sorrow and mis-
fortune, than the recollection of the con-
duct Of her sex under similar circu,lslan-
ces. When encompassed by dangers,
or death, women have con-
tinued TO adhere with fidelity 10 their
husbands fortunes under every Yieissl-
tude.

LEAD Poison.

A physicinn informs that severul cases
have recently come under his notice, in
which persons who had been residing in
the country and who had moved into the
city, had been poisoned by drinking by
drsnt water. In each instance, he states
that the house had been unoccupied for
several months previously, so that the
water had been lying in the leasen pipes
On making a chemical analysis Of II he
found, as be had suspected, that It was
largely impregnated with lead, than
which there is no more certain poison
He recommends that, upon drawing wa
ter from hydrants thar have not been
used for some time. and before using il,
housekeepers should filter il through
powdered charcoal which is the most
eficacious and simple method Of remov-
ing all impurities. Philadelphia Press.

A USEFUL Discovery. .-Itis known
that turpentine is contraband ard-
cle-the product of North Carolina
mainly. Il has been considered an
essential article in mixing paints, and
since the rebellion, has advanced FROM
thirty cents per gallon to S1,25, or
even higher at retail. The supply IA
the East has become nearly exhausted.
It is now stated by painters who have
tried it, that the Raptha or benzole,
as it is generally called, taken from
the Petroleum oil, is equally as good,
and on some accounts better than the
turpentine, and we observe the Penn
sylvania and Ohio papers say it is in
general use among all painters. In
the car works at Cleveland and Pitts
burg it is entirely used.-Al5aHy DR.

CORN ON THE PRAIRIE.

OO1o1N W4N- 1AAG EAAMfEe
BEw.J.F
The arehing sky is wide and high,
The sea is deep and grand
But fair to eye as sea or SKI
Is open prairie land.
Above behold in blue and sold.
The wealth Of heaven iss sred;
Within the deep the jewels sleep
OF oceans treasured hoat
But on the plain wealth 81 grain
Above them all is worth;
The richer spoil Of prairie soil
The Ornament Of earth.
The sea bird white stoops in his fight,
Amid the clouds of snow;
he thinks he sees the western breeze
Heave ocean waves below.
Those ocean waves are em'rald leaves,
Moved BY the breathing west;
And silken sprays of rainbow rays
Are flashing on each crest.
The sacks Of green in satin sheen,
Their pearly treasures hold;
And now, again, each glistening grain
Is turning into gold.
Hath ever sun since time begun
Such wild abundance met?
In boundless corn he rose at morn
In bOundless corn will set.
The mirage now its misty show
Is forming in the air;
Against the skies great cities rise,
Mid fields as gardens fair.
More plain and near they now appear
Distinctly seen the whole;
A paradise delights the eyes
wonder fills the soul
The fairest dream did ever beam
Upon the prophets sight;
The golden show that rose to glow
Amid the miser's night.
The brightest hope did ever ope
The poets eye Of trance,
Are here beheld-are here excelled
In One bewildered glance.
In barren sands the spell disbands
That mocks the Arabs pain;
In clouds and fears, too, disappears
The mirage Of the maiR.
And this to-day must pass away,
But not it's promise true;
It all shall be a verify
Beneath these skies Of blue.
