THE CRYSTAL SPRING.
Deep within the forests gloom,
Where the robins sweetly sing,
And the loveliest flowers bloom,
Lies q little crystal spring.
Crystal fountain, Oh how dear,
Is thy murmuring sound to me,
sthy waters bright and clear,
Ripping, flow away from thee.
Crystal fountain, murmurng low,
on with Laura by my side
Have watched thy gentle flow,
Where thy waters softly glide.
Where I told her of my love,
Whispering softly in her ear
3 Lest the birds that sung above,
List'ning, should my words o'erhear.
How thy sparkling waters danced,
As her hand In mine she placed;
And our lips together chanced,
While my arm was round her waist.
Crystal fountain, murinuripg low,
May thy music never cease;
May thy waters ever flow,
Ever flow in quiet peace.

me NhOh u AMI DlSfLa1"
The reception of the State flags, in
Philadelphia, on the 4th inst, was one Of
the most imposing display ever witnessed
in that city The crowd in attendance
was immense, moving slowly in every di-
rection under the rays of swelterihg
sun. Almost every house along the route
of the procession was gaily decorated and
every window occupied by fair ladies
waving handkerchiefs, and little girls,
dressed in white, waving ting flags to the
passing pageant.
THE MOVEMENT.
Precisely at ten o'clock the procession
commenced moving, preceded by noun
ted police force, spreading from curb to
curb, clearing the way, which they did
with great difficulty. On some parts Of
the route, the sidewalks were so densely
packed with human beings, that the
mounted officers had to apply the maxim
of "give and take" Immediately after
the police came the
Liberty Cornet Band.
Henry Guards.

Fall Flowing Clay Lands.

= A writer from Geneva, New York, says;
Our farmers are learning one very impor-
tant thing in farming our clay land: that
is, fall blowing, if done at the right time,
and well done. Although it does not ac-
cord with the views of our examplars. yet
experience has taught Us its great benefit.
No machinery yet invented can pulverizc
our land like the frosts of winter. I can
convince any one if they viii only look at
a piece of barley here, part fall plowed
and part plowed this spring But the be-
neft to crops is not all; we can pillow for
one half the cost in the fall Our teams
are in good condition. and ready, with a
small expense for feed.

When to Sow Plaster.

Is A correspondent Of the Rural American,
N. York, says:-The right time to sow
plaster on the clover is in the fall, say in
October; after the clover sown in the
spring, or early the following spring, APP
ply a moderate coat of plaster; about a
barrel on fifteen acres, I. think is sufficient.
In my first sowing Of plaster, | applied it
very sparingly on the first two acres sown;
on the remainder Of the field I put more
than double the quantity put on those
two acres, yet the result seemed to be the
same; the crop of clover on tie whole field
nearly all fell down easily. | think the
advantage in sowing plaster early is to
have it surely melted or dissolved. and alb
sorbed by the ground; If it is fully dissolv-
ed on the ground it will pay we'll if either
a dry Or wet season. [ once sowed plas-
ter on my meadow about the first of Nav,
and the season remained dry until har-
vest; at harvest [ saw the plaster yet lay
ing on the ground; IN that way I think it
did no good In applying plaster on corn
usually put teaspoonfnl on a hill; in
this way | suppose barrel Of plaster will
suffice for twenty-five acres, which think
will be found to do as we'll as double the
quantitity.

LIFE LEAVES.

The following poem is touchingly Beautiful
Many eye will be dimmed by tear as it reads
these lines, and the thought go wandering away
to ''memory's Wildwood ~
The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates,
And a single star in tie cloudless blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
lnilaby breathe DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound Of the stream
That winds along with luiling flow,
And either awake, or half dream, t~e
/ pass through the realms of Long Ago;
While faces appear with many smile
From the bowers of Memory's magical isle.
There are JOY and sunshine, sorrows and tears
That check the path of ife's April hours,
And a longing wish for the coming years,
That hope ever wreaths with the tarest flowers;
There are friendships guilele ss-loye as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night
There are ashen memories, bitter pam,
And buried hopes and broken VOW,
And aching heart by the reckless main,
And the sea-breeze flaming pallid brow;
And a wanderer on the shell-lined shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong, and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in the van
or the battle of liie-and the heart of the child
is crushed in the breost Of the struggling man.
But short are the regrets AID few are the tears
That fall at the tomb OF the banshed years.
There is quiet, and peace and domestic love,
And JOYS arising from faith and truth,
And a truth unquestoning, far above
The passionate dereamings of ardent youth;
And kisses OF children On lips and, cheek,
And the parents bliss which no tongue can speak
There are Owed ones lost! There are little graves
In the distant dell, hearth protecting Trees
Where the streamlet winds and the violet waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze;
And we mourn for the pressure of tender lips,
And the lighto eyes darkened in deaths eclipse
And thus, as the glow of the daylight dies,
And the nights first look at the earth is cast
gazed meath those beautiful summer skies,
AT the pictures that hang in the hail of the past
Oh, Sorrow and Joy, chant mingled lay
When to Memory's wildwood we wander awayl

Bite OF My Ears /:

AT social party, wag found himself
in the course of the evening in converse
ton with a nervous looking stranger.
Pointing out to him gentleman of inquir-
ing turn of mind in another portion of the
room, he said
"Do you see that man there ? lie has
a mania-a very unpleasant one, too He
is possessed with the idea that he must
bite off strangers ears, and it has caused a
dreadful amount Of trouble. | do not know
whether he will show any symptoms to-
night, but perceiving that you are strang-
er, deem it my duty to put you on your
guard. Don't let him approach very near
you"
The expression of horror that spread ov-
er the face of the nervous man clearly prov
ed that he had heard the warning. A lit
tie later the benevolent informant got an
opportunity to tell the inquiring man that
that man (pointing out the individually
was physical wonder, as roaring noise
could be distinctly heard proceeding from
his ear by getting within eighteen inches
of him, Our curious friend was struck with
an unheard phenomenon, and very pro-
perly began to work himself close enough
for personal investigation.
The movement was seen by the nervous
man, and great drops Of apprehensive
sweat oozed out from his brow and trickled
down his cheeks, Nearer and nearer ap-
preached the one, and more terribly in
tense grew the horror Of the other The
curious man was within an ace of the
roaring" when the agony of the ''roar-
err reached its crisis, and clenching his fist
he landed it between the lockers" of the
misfortunate searcher after physical Won
ders. shouting at the top of his voice:

The effect of this on the astonished au-
dience was very affecting.

THIS popular Hotel has been newly flied up, and
the proprietor is prepared for the entertain
ment OF the travelling public. This is the only
Hotel in the town that was kept open during the
war; all others were closed, to the exclusion Of
travellers. The proprietor feels that he has some
claim from this fact, upon those who visit or pass
through our beautiful ' alley. H. has an abundance
OF GRAIN HAY for horses, having a large and
commodious stable, and experienced ostler. His
table is always furnished with everything desir-
able to the most tastidious In short his best eff
forts will be used to make his house ALWAYS a
PLEASANT HONE to all who may be picasd to
stop with him. He feels it unnecessary to say a
word to his old patrons. The treatment they have
heretofore received at his house is a sufficient
guarantee OF continuance of their custom.
