JEFF. DAvs.--This arch traitor visited
Stanstead last week, and was the guest of
Hon. I. Lee Terrill.
On Thursday Mr.. Terrill, in his best turn
out, took JEFF about the village to ride when
several incidents transpired not altogether
pleasing, we should imagine, to either the
host or his guest. Not only boys but men hoo
ted him in the street, and greeted with those
familiar words, "We'u hang JEFF. Davis to a
sour apple tree" He was frequently asked
where be had left his "petticoats" and various
like remarks, more suggestive than pleasing,
everywhere fell upon his ear. One lady, stung
by the recollection Of the suffering and death
of near relative at Andersonville, gave utter
ance to her feelings by hurting stone at the
murderer, as he passed. We can feebly mag
inc her feelings at sight of the author of her
affection, and do not wonder at her action.
Were it not that we desire for him a severe,
even lifelong punishment, we might have
wished the same unerring certainty that atten-
ded David's pebble of old, had been given this
missile, thrown by feeble hands at one Of
earth's guiltest vagabonds.
= Permission was asked that jeff might ride
about the beautiful grounds of Carlos Pierce
ESQ, and take look at his noted herds, but
the request was emphaucalIy uenleu oy Mr..
Henry Pierce in charge Of the premises, who
declared in unmistakable language, 4" that in
no event could jeff Davis be admitted to those
grounds" He rode to portion of the plain
from which he could get look into Vermont,
one OF the most loyal sections of that noble
government he strove SO nightly to destroy.
We may rightly infer that through the view
was beautiful, indeed, the thoughts suggested
may not have been entirely pleasing. He
took hasty view Of the scene, and left for
Sherbrooke evidently convinced that his sym
pathizers and friends in stanstead were, "like
angels visits, few and far between"

How TO ERADICATE SoRREL.-In the first
place, keep it from going to seed. Then, cul-
tivate the soil we'll, and manure it abundant
ly for few successive seasons and sorrel
will give you no further trouble. Sorrel never
fourishes luxuriantly on soil that will yield
three tons of hay per acre, or thirty bushels
of wheat, or eighty bushels of oats, or eighty
bushels of shelled Indian corn per acre be-
cause cultivated plants viii soon supplant it.
Red clover, for example, and orchard-grass
will grow SO quickly, if the soil is not too
barren, that sorrel will be effectually choked
out.
Now, suppose there is more sorrel in field
than there is of anything else. Haul in as
much barry ard manure as can be plowed un-
der conveniently and plant the land with
Indian corn, and cultivate it we'll, and let no
sorrel go to seed. Should it come up thickly
in autumn, and be forward enough to go to
seed before winter, let the ground be plowed
next spring. say about the first of June pillow
the soil again, and on dry day harrow il
thoroughly. About the first Of July pillow
again, and SOW buckweat. In autum give an
other coat of manure, if the soil is not eady
rich enough and the following spring pillow
again, and SOW spring clover. and seed down
with early red clover and orchard grass
Sorrel will give no more trouble, if treated
in this way, until the grass has begun to fail
This is rare plant on u farm where a sood
rotation system has been adopted.

oh dear, dear Jeanne Morrison,
The thoughts Of by-gone years
Still fling their shadows DER my path
And Gil my eyes with tears
They blind my eyes with salt, salt tears,
And sore aud sick ! pine,
As memory idly summons up
The blithe blinks o. lang syne,
Twas then we loved each other well,
Twas then we two did part
Sweet time sad time twa BARNS at schulz
iva BARNS and but one heart;
When both bent down DER one broad page
With one book on our knee,
Thy lips. were on thy lesson, but
My lesson was in thee.
MY head runs round and round about,
NV heart flows like the sea,
As one by one the thoughts rush back
OF school time and OF thee
o morning life Oh, morning love
Oh lightsome days and lang,
When honied hopes around our hearts,
Like summer blossoms sprangl
Oh mind We, love, how OF we left
The dusty, dinsome town,
To wander by the green burnside,
And hear its waters Groom
The summer leaves hung DER our heads,
The flowers burst round our feet,
And in the cleaning Of the wood
The throstle whistled sweet.
i marvel, jeanne Morrison,
If have been to thee
As closely twined with earliest thoughts,
AS YOU have been 10 me.
Oh p! tell me If the music fills
Thine ear as It does mine
Oh say if e'er your heart grows soft
With dreamings OF lang syne!
I've wandered east, I've wandered west,
I've borne a weary lot;
But in my wanderings far or near,
y on never were forgot.
The fonnt that first burst from this heart
Still travels on its way,
And channels deeper as it runs,
The love OF lile's young day.
Oh dear, dear Jeanie Morrison,
Since we were sundered young,
I've never seen your face, nor heard
The music of your tongue;
But ] could hug all wretchedness,
And happy could ! dee
Did but know your heart still dreamed
OF by-gone days and me.

CHANCES ON THE pLA1N.--Among other
strange changes on the Western Plains made
by the Pacific Railroad, will be its effect on
the Great Buffalo migration North and South
dmring the Spring and Autumn months. The
immense buffalo trails that sweep from the
States Of Mexico to the British dominions,
and over which countless herds move north
ward, as the grass begins to grow, and south
ward as it begins to fade. will be entirely
broken up by the railroad and the trains OF
cars that will constantly be in motion over it.
The buffalo, which, like the Indian, has been
forever retreating before the advance Of the
white man will thus have his last great STAN
playground destroyed; and as there is no
further retreat possible for him, he will have
to prepare for final disappearance from the soil
of the United States.

DANGEROUS PAPER.--There is great differ

white lead or barytes, is quite disinclined to
burn in fact some kinds are. practically fire.
proof While writing and printing paper can
seldom be lighted by sparks and when ignited
by fame, it requires dexterity to keep it bur
ming. On the other hand, there is common
reddish-yellow paper, which in some instances
is as dangerous as gunpowder. 1t takes fire
by the smallest spark, and burns like tlnder;
when once lighted, i'll left alone, it is sure to
be consumed completely. All the yellow and
buff paper which have tested, out of which
envelopes are made, par,akes more or less of
the same character. have no doubt that
such paper has been the occasion of some Of
the fires in this city, which have been other

A spark of fire or a stump of a lighted cigar
falling in a waste basket containing yellow
envelopes, with other kind of paper, would
have good chance of setting the whole on
fire. Professor Seeley.

FARADAY's THEORY OF LIPE.-Prof Far
aday adopts Flourin's physiological theory
that the natural age Of man is one hundred
year. The duration of life he believes to be
measured by the time OF growth. When once
the bones and epphyses are united, the body
grows no more, and it is at twenty years that
this union is effected in man. 10 the camel it
takes place at eight in the horse at tive, in
the lion at fourth the dog at two, in the rab-
bit at one. The natural termination Of lie
is five removes from these several points.
Man being twenty years in growing lives five
times 30 years, that is 100; the camel is eight
years in growing, and lives five times eight
years, that is TO say 40 years the horse FIVE
years in growing, and he lives twenty five
years and so with other animals. The man
who does not die Of sickness lives everywhere
from eighty to one hundred years. Provi-
dence has given OF man a century of life 10
live, but he docs not attain it because he in
herits diseases, cats unwholesome food, gives
license to passions, an permits vexations to
disturb his healthy equipoise be does not
die, he kills himself He divides life into two
equal values, growth and decline, and these
halves into infancy, you, veriIity and age. In
fancy extends to the Goth year, youth to the
50lh, because it is during this period that the
tissues become firm verility from so to IS
during which time the organism remains com.
pleat, and at rs old age commences to last a
longer or shorter time as the diminntion Of
reserved forces is FASTENED or retarded
